Chapter 106: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)

Little Bai Liu (6) had bumped his knee on the edge of the baptismal pool when he crawled out of it in a dizzy manner. He limped out and pushed open the door of the church with great effort.

Outside, there were teachers running and screaming in a panicked manner. The teachers who had just been chasing little Bai Liu (6) were all shocked as they watched the building that was still affected by the aftermath of the explosion. The sparks coming from the private hospital were like fireflies in the night sky, glowing hotly.

“A floor of the private hospital suddenly exploded! All the investors on that floor are seriously injured!”

“The hospital informed us that the children can’t be matched tomorrow. The investors need to recover. Let us wait one more day until Thursday…”

“No way. This group of children won’t be sent to the hospital until Thursday.”

Bai Liu (6) held the door of the church as he watched the building burning in the night. It was as bright as glowing charcoal that had fallen on a coal pile.

Sparks coiled and rose like fireworks blooming on the ground. This child stood in the cold welfare home’s church. He had just been taken out of the baptismal pool and was freezing. Yet the wanton brightness and temperature made him less inclined to tremble.

His other self had given him an extra day of opportunity to live.

Bai Liu (6) took out the wet phone and shook it. He hesitated for a moment because he didn’t know if this thing could be used. The dean was supposed to take the phone and coin manager from him but she died before she could.

Bai Liu (6) called Bai Liu’s number once, twice then three times. The other side didn’t connect but Bai Liu (6) didn’t give up. He persistently called. He didn’t know how many times he tried but he eventually got through.

“Hey,” Bai Liu (6) asked in an emotionless tone. “Are you still alive?”

The voice on the other side was hoarse from the smoke but it lazily replied, “I thought I was going to be blown up to death but I’m still alive. What? You haven’t run out of the welfare home? You called me so early?”

Little Bai Liu (6)’s lips opened. He paused for a moment before answering Bai Liu. “Yes, I considered using Passengers’ Blessing to break through.”

“My plan was to let Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang rush out and find a faster moving vehicle, i.e. a car on the new map outside the welfare home.”

“There were so many rich investors coming today and the private hospital is closed. Tomorrow, they will have to pick us up. It is possible that the investors would park outside and not drive away. If there is transportation then we can use Passengers’ Blessing to hold back the investor monsters outside. It might be risky but we can try to run out.”

Bai Liu laughed. “Then in the process of exploring the way, you can sacrifice Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. This way, you will help me kill those two while also completing your deal with them. You did help Miao Feichi and the others run out of the gate of the welfare home. You didn’t violate your transaction with them. Then in the end, you would’ve brought out the children I wanted you to save.”

“It is piercing three eagles with one arrow. It is a good idea and worth a try.” Bai Liu commented objectively and with appreciation.

The corners of Bai Liu (6)’s mouth curled up when he heard the comment, before he quickly flattened it out again.

“So why did you give up on this good plan?” Bai Liu asked softly. “What happened?”

Little Bai Liu (6) was quiet and only opened his mouth after a long time. “There was an accident with Liu Jiayi. During the process of running out, she coughed up blood. If we escape and she doesn’t get timely treatment, I believe she will soon die.”

“There are doctors in the welfare home so you stayed for her.” Bai Liu’s voice was slightly surprised. “Wow, this is actually a choice you would make. I thought you would immediately drop her and run. It is obvious that you have a higher vested interest in the second choice.”
