Chapter 113.1: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)

Wednesday: 4:17 a.m.

Liu Huai was too anxious due to Bai Liu’s speculation. He had already lost a lot of blood. In addition, he refused to rest because he kept worrying about his sister. His health and mental values were both showing signs of decline so Bai Liu simply took advantage of when Liu Huai was unprepared to use sleeping pills on him.

Now Liu Huai slept soundly on the straw bed while Bai Liu and Mu Ke weren’t asleep. They were still sorting out and analyzing the information they obtained today. It was mainly information that Mu Ke obtained from the medical records room and that Bai Liu obtained from little Bai Liu (6)’s side.

Mu Ke looked at Liu Huai sleeping on the bed in a complicated manner. He remembered himself this morning and found that Bai Liu’s method was really too bad. He didn’t speak and directly drugged them. This approach was simply, simply…

In short, it didn’t look like a good person’s approach.

Mu Ke slowly moved his gaze to Bai Liu who was leaning against the wall and still analyzing the comprehensive information.

Bai Liu leaned against the wall, one leg bent with the paper on the other leg. His face wasn’t noticeably tired. He was clearly bruised but his eyes were still clear and calm. He lowered his head and continued to draw pictures on the paper with the pen as he spoke in a calm voice, “Now we have roughly understood the mechanisms of this welfare home and most of the doubts are basically explained. There are still two things left and it is best not to discuss these two things in front of Liu Huai.”

Mu Ke was stunned.

Bai Liu glanced at Liu Huai who was still sleeping on the hospital bed. “First, why are Liu Huai and Liu Jiayi tied together and why is their health reduced to 50%?”

“I speculated previously that it was caused by her poisoning but there are two things not quite reasonable about this. First, why is Liu Huai’s health also reduced by half? This can be based on the game’s binding logic. However, after integrating the information you gave me and the information I got from little Bai Liu (6) and Liu Huai last night, this possibility is completely overturned due to the second suspicion I found.”

“The second point—” Bai Liu calmly looked at the little girl on the paper and drew a big question mark on the thin girl. He looked at Liu Huai without any fluctuations in his eyes. “Liu Jiayi was screened by the blood ganoderma lucidum in reality due to being the offspring of close relatives. In other words, Liu Jiayi was parasitized by the mushrooms. In this case, it is very strange that she coughed up blood during her escape. This is completely irrational. The blood ganoderma lucidum wouldn’t waste her blood by making her cough it up.”

“Another thing that makes me feel strange is that the timing of her coughing up blood is too coincidental. It wasn’t too early or too late. It just happened to be when they were about to reach the gate.” Bai Liu narrowed his eyes. “Bai Liu (6)’s hesitation and consideration at that time was right. If it was me, I would also wonder if she didn’t want to escape and was deliberately delaying things.”

Mu Ke gradually felt numb as he heard this. He looked at Bai Liu and asked in a low voice, “Bai Liu, do you mean…?”

“Now it is obvious after synthesizing all the information. She is acting and lying to me, or to little Bai Liu (6).” Bai Liu’s expression was serious as he came to this conclusion.

A chill rushed down Mu Ke’s spine. “Why is Liu Jiayi doing this? It isn’t good for her to stay in the welfare home!”

Bai Liu paused. “She might not die.”

Mu Ke became even more puzzled. “Why? If her blood is drawn, she will die when her health is exhausted. She also has only 50 health so she will die more easily.”

Bai Liu slowly looked up. “What if she has a personal skill to restore her health?”

Mu Ke was stunned for a few seconds before loking at Bai Liu with a startled expression, “Fuck?! No way? You mean she is…”

Liu Huai was pushed awake from his half-sleeping, half-awake state. He woke up to see Bai Liu’s calm eyes and he couldn’t help feeling cold.

“Jiayi—” Liu Huai shook his head as he remembered the issue he had been arguing with Bai Liu about before going to bed. The bleary and sleepy expression faded away and he became anxious. “Bai Liu! You promised me you would save Jiayi! I have given everything to you! You promised me!”

Bai Liu replied coldly, “Maybe your sister doesn’t need anyone to save her.”

Bai Liu told Liu Huai about his own guess.

Liu Huai was startled. His brain response was sluggish due to excessive blood loss so he looked at Bai Liu’s expressionless face in a somewhat confused manner. “What do you mean by Jiayi is acting and lying?”

Bai Liu raised his eyes. “Don’t you understand? I told you a long time ago that your sister isn’t as simple as you think. She is very smart, far smarter than you and I expected.”

“The system was indeed acting for the balance of the game. It weakened the health of the two of you mainly to weaken your sister, not to weaken you. This game isn’t fair to other players because her personal skill is too strong. In this type of game where more health will give you an advantage, if it doesn’t weaken her and your health, this instance will have no gameplay. She is a cheat-like existence in this game.”

“Liu Jiayi has been acting as a good sister in front of you and even little Bai Liu (6) was fooled by her. However, in the end her flaw was revealed because of you.”

Bai Liu stared straight at Liu Huai. “She guessed the mechanics of this game. She wanted to save you so she didn’t want to run away. She pretended to cough up blood to stay in the welfare home and wait for you to pick her up tomorrow. However, she doesn’t want you to be aware of her identity. This made her very careful from beginning to end. Even so, she showed a crack because of you.”
