Chapter 120.1: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)

Before Mu Ke could react, Bai Liu grabbed him by the back of the collar and made Mu Ke stand firmly. Then he turned and used that hand to half carry Li Huai, who had lost both arms. Bai Liu held the fish bone whip and quietly exhaled. He took shallow breaths as he said, “Open the door, Mu Ke. The game isn’t over yet.”

Liu Huai, whose face was as white as paper, suddenly interrupted Bai Liu’s words. His shaky gaze stopped on Bai Liu’s face for a few seconds. “Wait, do you promise that you will save Jiayi if you live?”

Bai Liu answered, “I promise.”

Liu Huai closed his eyes and a wrist brace appeared in front of him.

[System notification: The item ‘Cynic Wrist Guard’. After being hurt, the cynic can delay all damage by 14 hours. However, if the player hasn’t passed the instance after 14 hours then the damage will be stacked on the player.]

“This item was originally for Jiayi to use when she ran away. Now it seems…” Liu Huai smiled bitterly. “She won’t need it.”

Little Witch had healing skills and truly didn’t need such low level items to delay damage.

Liu Huai turned to look at Bai Liu, the smile on his face becoming more bitter and relieved. “I also have no arms to use it. I will give it to you, Bai Liu.”

Bai Liu didn’t say much. He took the wrist guard directly and glanced at Mu Ke at the door.

Mu Ke looked back at Bai Liu. After confirming that Bai Liu didn’t waver at all, he took a deep breath and opened the door with trembling hands.

At this time, 8:40 a.m. on Wednesday.

The emergency stairs on the first floor.

The slightly cowering nurse stood at a fearful distance from the emergency passage. She didn’t lean over and just gulped as she pointed to the dark passage. “Just over there. There is a tunnel entrance at the corner of the first floor. From there, you can go directly to the church of the welfare home. I won’t go there.”

After this, the nurse saw Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang approaching the passage without hesitation. She was unable to hold back and shouted, “Don’t leave the ward until 9 o’clock. I’m just showing you. You can’t just—”

Miao Gaojiang turned and approached the nurse. He took a few quick steps and arrived in front of her. Then Miao Gaojiang grabbed her neck and twisted it. There was the clear sound of the interlocking bones of the nurse’s neck breaking.

Then Miao Gaojiang soon calmed down. He paused and cleared his throat. “We can’t delay for even a minute. If this nurse NPC is here, we will have to wait until 9 o’clock. The children over there must be plotting to escape. We have to hurry over.”

Miao Feichi was reluctantly persuaded by this reason. He drew out his double knives and moved to the emergency passage step by step. Just as he was about to step into the passage, Miao Gaojiang abruptly asked in a soft voice, “Don’t you think this nurse looks like your mother?”

Miao Feichi paused and glanced at the dead face of the little nurse lying on the ground. This was completely different from the face of the woman who gave birth to him in his memory. Miao Feichi retracted his gaze and looked at Miao Gaojiang a bit strangely. “Dad, what’s wrong with you? This NPC looks completely different from that dead woman.”

“Is that so?” Miao Gaojiang muttered to himself. Then he looked back at the face of the nurse who had fallen to the ground. “Maybe I misread it.”

The nurse’s young body had strangely old, heavy bags under her eyes. She looked seriously ill as she smiled strangely at him. This was a face that he knew well. It was the face of his wife, Miao Feichi’s mother, whom Miao Gaojiang had slept beside for countless nights. He saw this face the moment he opened his eyes.

This face appeared over the nurse’s face. In Miao Gaojiang’s eyes, the nurse would exaggerate every time she spoke. Her mouth was so wide open that it affected the mandibular joint and made a distorted displacement sound. Then the open mouth made it easy for Miao Gaojiang to see that there was no tongue in her talking mouth.

Miao Gaojiang retracted his gaze. He raised a hand to wipe the sweat flowing down his face and looked at the exit. “Feichi, you are the main attacker. I will defend from behind.”

8: 45 a.m.

Due to the bombing incident last night, the nurses didn’t have the energy to patrol every floor and manage the patients. Bai Liu and the others took the elevator and rushed to the first floor, only to find that the emergency passage had been cleared and there was only a mess left.

This represented good news and bad news.

Mu Ke sighed with relief. “We don’t have to face those monsters.”

Bai Liu’s gaze fell on the chopped deformed children and the syringes everywhere. His eyes twitched slightly. “The Miao Gaojiang duo has entered the tunnel.”
