Chapter 127.3: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)
The monster attacked from behind with his mouth wide open. Bai Liu tore open the hinge outside the tunnel entrance, pulled little Miao Gaojiang from the tunnel and threw the screaming child toward the zombie monster chasing after them. Then Bai Liu frowned as blood slowly flowed from the corners of his mouth. Bai Liu coughed and knelt down on the ground, putting Liu Jiayi down.
[System warning: Player Bai Liu’s protection item, the Cynic Wrist Guard will expire in 15 minutes. In the process, the damage that the player has received will be successively overlapped on the body of player Bai Liu! The health of player Bai Liu’s main identity line is about to be cleared to zero!]
Liu Jiayi panicked as she saw the fire that was about to go out in front of her. Tears fell from her eyes. “Bai Liu! Hey! Bai Liu!”
Bai Liu slowly fell to the ground.
He loosened the hand holding the whip as more blood poured from his mouth. It was as if he was receiving backlash for all his injuries in this moment. Bai Liu spoke with difficulty to Liu Jiayi. “Run… passage…”
“Don’t die!” Liu Jiayi touched Bai Liu’s face like a panicked, normal 8 year old girl. She bent over and pressed her face to Bai Liu’s chest, feeling his gradually faint breathing sound as she cried helplessly. “Please don’t die! Aren’t you trying to save me? Didn’t you promise to take me out of the game? Don’t die like this!”
“Don’t lie to me. Don’t leave me alone…” The dirty little girl raised her eyes. She knelt in front of the pure statue with her dim gray eyes, letting out heartbreaking cries as blood oozed from the corners of her mouth and nose. “Don’t let me hide alone!”
She hid forever in the darkness, like a deep sea fish that couldn’t see the light. She had a strange blood and appearance as well as a pair of blind eyes. She grew in betrayal, survived in doubt and used her cursed ability to live in a game she couldn’t tell anyone about.
‘Who will be with me?’ The invisible little fish whispered. ‘I can save you and poison you but if you approach me with love, I will give you my warmest belly. As long as you stay with me forever and don’t throw me in the mud pool after becoming afraid of my monster-like appearance.’
Little Miao Gaojiang screamed and cried. He was grabbed by his adult self who had become a monster. The zombie was going to bite little Miao Gaojiang’s neck when the eyes of the god on the statue moved.
[System warning: A monster has been detected attacking children in the safe zone!]
[System warning: God’s punishment will descend!]
Dense thorns spread from the feet of the statue and wrapped around the carrion zombie who had entered the church. The zombie monster was tightly wrapped in the black thorns. It attacked everything and easily penetrated the thick blue and purple skin that was like leather. It wrapped around the thick neck as the zombie roared, trying to break out of the thorns.
However, more and more thorns wrapped around him. The zombie was surrounded by a cocoon made of thorns.
The thorns pierced deeper and deeper and the roars of the zombie gradually subsided. Finally, it became weak and inaudible as the thorns shrank and tightened, as if to swallow the monster.
[System warning: The god-level NPC has attacked the carrion zombie (alienated monster)… the carrion zombie’s health is cleared to 0.]
[System notification: The health of player Miao Gaojiang’s main identity line has reached zero and death is confirmed.]
Liu Jiayi strongly smelled the stench of a corpse. She heard the hissing sound of thorns withdrawing across the ground, followed by the dull thump of something falling and her rapid breathing. It was just that these sounds couldn’t be compared to the gradually fading light in Bai Liu’s eyes that attracted her attention.
She didn’t care about the dead Miao Gaojiang and quickly turned to the system panel.
[System notification: I’m sorry to tell you that there is another 1 hour and 30 minutes left on the cooldown of your personal skill ‘Antidote.’ It can’t be used now.]
Liu Jiayi closed her eyes and breathed deeply. ‘Calm down, Liu Jiayi, calm down. There must be some way to save Bai Liu.’
Her healing skill couldn’t be used but she still had something that could directly save Bai Liu. It was her blood. Her blood could directly form a blood ganoderma lucidum that could save anyone. It could cure Bai Liu, an investor with a terminal illness. It was just that she needed a straw bed to grow the blood ganoderma lucidum.
Bai Liu couldn’t wait until he returned to the hospital to use a straw bed. It also needed to be grabbed from an investor monster. Even if she had the ability to grab it, Bai Liu didn’t have time to wait for her to grab it.
Liu Jiayi’s gaze slowly moved toward the place where she heard the thorns gathering. It was the statue of a god with thorns entangled around his body. The god had his eyes open and was looking at Liu Jiayi. However, his body temperature was so cold that he was like a dead object.
Before Tawil had time to speak, he saw the blind girl staggering toward the statue. Then with a fierce force, she started to pull the thorns from his body like they were wool.
The slightly confused Tawil who had just woken up, “…?”
The humans who saw him after he awakened all went crazy. Bai Liu was the exception. He hadn’t expected this girl to be sane enough to collect his thorns but the moment he saw Liu Jiayi’s face, Tawil understood why Liu Jiayi was okay.
