Xiao Bailiu paused and continued to explain: "And you didn't say good evening to me last night, this kind of polite opening remarks, this is usually what I say to the host when I take money, but you are Don’t say this to me. You didn’t say it last night. It’s kind of weird that it’s good evening as soon as the show starts."
However, Bai Liu thought about it for a while. He really only appeared polite and courteous to strangers when he had money to take it. Any strange things, similar to Zhang Puppet’s master, Bai Liu could say, but he himself didn’t notice. at this point.
"Why would you think of letting Mu Ke talk to me on your phone?" Bai Liu asked with a smile. "And why are you with Mu Ke tonight? And how is your situation tonight?"
The phone on the player's side is bound and cannot be exchanged, but the phone on the child's side is not.
However, when almost all children are extremely difficult to make a phone call, let one child take another child out, and give the call to the other child at the moment the call is connected, and let the other child speak. Miao Gaozoo, who has never received a call from a child, probably never thought about it.
Children’s execution and obedience are much lower than those of adults, especially compared to those adults who have already been in the game. Under the premise that it is difficult to call them, like Xiao Bailiu, a small neuropath like Xiao Bailiu who didn't sleep in the middle of the night for money, and dragged Mu Ke out of the yard to run around. Not to mention that Miao Gao was stiff, even Bai Liu himself was a little surprised. Xiaobailiu's rare execution ability.
Although he knew that he could do anything for money, when the phone was connected and heard Xiao Mu Ke's voice, Bai Liu here couldn't help but raised his brows in surprise.
Xiao Bailiu reported in a straightforward manner: "Because tomorrow is going to be a baptism, the teacher asked investors and parents to inform, so many children came out to call tonight, but besides I have not succeeded, there are some children attracted by the sound of the flute. So the deformed child didn't chase us, and the situation is fine."
"As for why I will be with Mu Ke tonight, I think you are asking knowingly." Xiao Bailiu's tone was cold and disgusting, "Didn't you let me take care of the two children last night? Say you give me money Yes, one of the children I took care of was a blind girl. I now know her name is Liu Jiayi. One is this Mu Ke. The girl is temporarily out of reach, but I sleep with Mu Ke in the same room for money. When I call you tonight, I will be looking for Mu Ke in the same room."
"My intention was to let you hear his voice and inspect the goods for you, to verify that this kid is in good condition, can run and cry, but I didn't expect something happened on your side, so I just stopped talking. Call him and let him pretend to be your investment child."
There was a subtle pause in Xiao Bailiu's voice, and then he directly questioned Bai Liu: "Actually, I think that when you told me last night that you gave me money to help others, it was just to let Mu Ke give you. Call?"
There was a slight smile in Bai Liu's voice, and he leaned lazily on the wall: "You can say that."
When he told Xiao Bailiu that I would pay you to take care of Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi for me, he knew that Xiao Bailiu would drag one of them out to call him tonight.
At the age of fourteen, his stubbornness towards money is stronger than ever. It is impossible for him to give up such an opportunity to get money, but Bai Liu has been a relatively obedient person since childhood, so he will not easily deceive his own transactions. Object, the best way to verify the success of the transaction is to have Xiao Muke directly talk to Bai Liu, saying that he is pretty good.
And Xiao Bailiu did the same.
"You can just ask me to drag Mu Ke out to call you tonight, and you don't have to go around so many circles with me." Xiao Bailiu's voice has a kind of youthfulness that is unique to young people, but because he is too calm, he appears very indifferent. , "You give money, I can do everything for you."
"But then you will know in advance the hostile plan I am going to make against the other two investors." Bai Liu said unhurriedly, "You will surely guess what I am going to do and what terrible threats I will face. You know. What does this call mean to me, you might betray my plan to my enemy when you call, in exchange for more money from my enemy, this is something you will do, isn’t it? ?"
Xiao Bailiu over there fell into a long silence.
Bai Liu chuckled: "I can't let you guess what I'm going to do, because you are also a very dangerous guy."
"I even think that in this game, you are more dangerous to me than anything else, but fortunately I know you, and I tell you a fact on the basis of my understanding of you, Bai Liu, I gave you There will be more money than anyone in this world, and I can even give you all my money."
Bai Liu slowly lowered his eyes: "There won't be anyone more generous to you than me, Bai Liu."
Because I am you and you are me. Money circulates between you and me across time and uniquely, but the essence belongs to the identity of [I]. The money I own is owned by both you and me. But Bai Liu's money won't be reduced by a single cent.
"All the money?" Xiaobai's tone was still indifferent, but with what he said, there was an inexplicable irony, "Then you are really a rare, not selfish, good-hearted person at all, investment. Mr. People."
"I am really selfish and greedy, so I am definitely not like this to others." Bai Liu was not angry after being ridiculed, and still smiled unmovedly on his face, "But how do you say," You are the most special person to me in this [world], so I must have no reservations about you."
Xiao Bailiu did not answer Bai Liu's words, but subtly and indifferently maintained a skeptical silence.
Bai Liu did not hesitate and continued: "But I can understand what you are thinking. You must be thinking that human beings are instinctively very selfish for their own animals. As an investor, why should I be a stranger for you? Go against instinct to do this? There will be no such people in this world. Even if they exist, they must be pretended to get more benefits. After all, there is no free lunch in the world, right?"
The opposite Xiao Bailiu fell into a weird silence again. It was obvious that Bai Liu knew very well what he was thinking at the age of fourteen.
"I think so at your age." Bai Liu leaned against the wall, his eyes closed slightly with his head up.
Because of his physical weakness and the orphanage, which has a certain special meaning to him, and the existence of Xiaobailiu, a game npc, Bai Liu rarely immersed himself in recalling the past.
How was he when he was fourteen? Bai Liu thought he would not remember well.
Because people are indeed very forgetful creatures, perhaps people’s memories are really only seven seconds, and the rest of the memories are just things that people construct from their shallow sensory memories to deceive, fool, and comfort themselves.
But at the moment when he heard Xiao Bailiu's cold voice without emotional fluctuations, the moment Bai Liu closed his eyes, he could remember what his fourteen-year-old self was like.
Withdrawn, indifferent, and incompatible with everything around him, no one can understand this thin boy who is watching horror stories all day long and always watching all kinds of horror stories and games available in the orphanage.
When Bai Liu was fourteen years old, it was better to hide his expression and disguise himself now. When he looked at people, his gaze had three points of rejection. He was full of cold auras that strangers would not enter, so there were no children willing to approach him.
Of course, this has a big problem with Bai Liu himself.
When other children’s toys in the orphanage were trains or blocks donated by well-wishers, Bai Liu’s favorite toy was a thrilling doll with lack of arms and legs. When other children were reading comics and story books, Bai Liu was there. On the side, I can see a book like "A Record of Slender Ghost Murder" that I don't know how to be donated to the orphanage.
But at that time, when these human cubs had not yet entered the society to accept the poison and infestation of various adult rules, every child in the orphanage would also be adopted by their parents for good toys and delicious food. Opportunity, even the not-so-damp straw bed competed to the death.
No one taught them to do this, trampling on other people in order to live a better life is something similar to biological instincts. Bai Liu realized this early on, so he got further away from these people.
In the orphanage, there are two people who don't fight for these things at all, one is Bailiu and the other is Lu Yizhan.
Because Bai Liu didn't need these things, he liked money more, and children were generally not given this thing in the orphanage, and Lu Yizhan because he felt that other people needed it more, so this fool took the initiative to let it out.
With better food, better toys, and chances of being adopted, Lu Yizhan stupidly let go, looking at the happy smiles of others with the fruits of his exploitation. At this time, the other party only needs to be right. Lu Yizhan's simple and superficial gratitude can make this fool scratch the back of his head and reveal a smile that is brighter than the other person.
"I used to think that there are really no human beings in this world who pay all for others." Bai Liu's voice is very soft and calm. "Even if it is for others, it is to get the kind of brainwashing and nurturing by secular moral codes. The essence of self-dedication and self-satisfaction is to please oneself."
"There are no purely good people in the world, only purely bad people."
Xiao Bailiu's breathing sounded hurriedly on the opposite side. He pulled Xiao Mu Ke, who was still sobbing, running through the children's orphanage late at night, but Bai Liu knew he was listening.
This little guy hasn't hung up the phone yet, because it is billed by the minute, it is really a very hard work to accompany him-although it is a child worker.
Bai Liu's voice brought out a lazy and idle smile. He seemed to recall something very funny: "Then when I was steadfast in these ideas, I met a stupid guy, and he volunteered to be with me. Be friends."
"He kept asking me why I was alone, hungry and frugal to give me food. When he found out that I was reading some bloody and strange books, he just froze for a while, and then sneaked out to get it for me. Look." Bai Liu said flatly, "but I was indifferent to him from start to finish. He was paying without any satisfaction. I thought he would give up soon."
Xiao Bailiu over there finally spoke, and he asked: "Did he give up?"
"He stayed away from me for a while, I thought he had given up." Bailiu paused, "Then one day at noon, I saw a doll of [Skinny Ghost] in the back of the yard."
It was a very awkward and lanky ghost. The doll's suit and costume were changed from sheets that were not in the orphanage. The hat was torn and tattered. It was almost like a failed manual work by a primary school student. This lanky ghost waved himself. The scarf hanging from the ragged clothes was saying-hi foolishly to Bai Liu.
The book Bai Liu often read during that time was the story of the lanky ghost, because the orphanage has not been donated to other books of this kind again.
But Lu Yizhan might have misunderstood that Bai Liu likes this strange legendary creature very much. The teenage Lu Yizhan stayed up secretly and hid in the quilt to make such a doll, and then put it on his head, standing in front of Bai Liu, he bounced around. He jumped and hummed, his head was sweating profusely, the eyes in the inferior puppet suit were clean, but the eyes were red because of staying up late.
Lu Yizhan regards Bai Liu as a kid who likes animated characters. He purely hopes that Bai Liu will be happy because of this.
But he didn't want Bai Liu to thank him, and of course Bai Liu didn't appreciate him, because it was really...
"... He's so stupid." Xiaobai vomited blankly.
"Yes, I felt that way back then." Bai Liu laughed lowly, "I looked at him like a fool, and then politely explained that I am not a fan of lanky ghosts, I just like watching these horror stories. , Watching these weird horror creatures eat stupid and erroneous humans, I like such horror stories."
Xiao Bailiu was quiet for a while and said: "I like it too, but he should... don't like it."
It can only be said that normal children would not like it. At that time, Bai Liu was a freak in the orphanage, because the books and paintings were not normal, very bloody, and belonged to the type that the teacher would focus on. I think he has Anti-social tendencies and the like, soon under the strict supervision of the teacher, they threw away all the things Bai Liu liked.
Books, games and even Bai Liu looked at the puppet toys. Their defense against Bai Liu was like a potential prisoner of reform through labor.
In fact, to some extent, this kind of defense is also correct.
Bai Liu curbed his blatant hobby and pretended to be a good boy who was lost and knew how to return.
Lu Yizhan does not like such unconventional horror stories and games.
But because he didn't like it, it didn't mean that he couldn't let Bai Liu like it, and he knew that Bai Liu liked it, but he just pretended not to like it.
"He really doesn't like it, but this guy has always been very popular. He doesn't know where he has searched a lot of horror games and horror story books." Bai Liu's eyes were still closed, he recalled, "Really a lot, and then Without telling the teacher, he brought it to me, let me play, let me watch."
Xiao Bailiu was silent for a while this time, and he asked, "Why would he do this?"
"I asked him the same way." Bai Liu's voice was so soft that he could hardly hear him. "He said, aren't we friends? This is something I can do for you, so I did it."
Xiao Bailiu wondered from the bottom of his heart: "When did you become friends with him? I remember you didn't agree to this matter, right?"
"I don't know either." Bai Liu said, "but Lu Yizhan just determined it wishfully. I told him that I was a freak with a high probability and might do bad things in the future. He told me very seriously, if I wanted to Being a bad guy, he will act as a police officer to arrest me."
Bai Liu chuckled, "So he assured me that he would not let me be a bad person, because the police friend can't be a bad person."
"He played a lot of horror games with me, and played for many, many years. Then he gradually realized that I was an abnormal person, but he still insisted on being friends with me."
"Why?" Xiao Bailiu asked again. He was a little confused this time. "You can't understand each other at all. Will being friends with you bring him any benefit?"
"There is no benefit. I am a troublesome person in all aspects." Bai Liu readily admitted this. "I am not good at being a human being, but my friend did not make friends with me for any benefit."
Xiao Bailiu: "What is that for."
Bai Liu: "He just wants me to have a friend."
Lu Yizhan's reason is that simple. He wanted to be friends with Bai Liu. He wanted to make Bai Liu happy. He wanted Bai Liu to have a friend. He didn't feel sympathy or pity. He just thought so, so he did it.
Lu Yizhan was the first strange human to appear in Bai Liu’s cognition. The existence of this man almost subverted Bai Liu’s three views—this man is a high-level man without any personal purpose, with a very high moral standard, but his brain is not very good. Good, pure good person, in Bai Liu's worldview, he is a textbook-level self-dedication fool.
He is Bai Liu's only friend in this life.
"There are still such purely good people in this world. Their existence is against the theory of evolution and human instinct, so they live very hard." Bai Liu said softly, "But they do exist, and you will meet them soon. arrive."
Yes, Bai Liu, you will meet this friend who is willing to play games with you, pretend to be a lanky ghost to make you laugh, and spend many years with you, Bai Liu said softly in his heart.
"This kind of person is rare, right?" Xiao Bailiu's tone was still so weak, "You can meet a miracle in the world, and I won't meet this kind of idiot who pays willingly."
"You will." Bai Liu smiled, "You still met me, didn't you?"
"I also know that you are a bad boy, Bai Liu, and I also know that you might betray me, but I finally told you my plan." Bai Liu's tone was soft, with a little bit of strange temptation, "You are so true to me. It’s very important, more important than the plan, and even more important than me."
"You are the most important person in this place." Bai Liu smiled, "I promise I will be your strange and reliable friend."
This time Bai Liu was silent for a long, long time, until Bai Liu thought he would hang up, and then Xiao Bailiu changed the subject very bluntly: "You also like horror games? Have you played any fun?"
Bai Liuman lowered his eyes intently, and the corners of his mouth raised indistinctly, and slowly chatted with Bai Liu: "Yes, I have played two very good games, one is called "Siren Town". , One is called "The Last Train of Burst"."
At the age of fourteen, he is still very cheating, and will be slightly moved by the self-sacrificing fool of Lu Yizhan.
And if he met Bai Liu who was twenty-four years old, it would be much more complicated.
Bai Liu didn't have much time to give psychological counseling to his fourteen-year-old self, and he felt that Xiao Bailiu didn't need it either. He said that such a long list of stories was just to pave the way for Xiao Bailiu to cooperate with him wholeheartedly-because the most unfortunate What a tool to confuse Xiao Bailiu—his points, or money, Bai Liu has already thrown out all of them to Miao Feichi and the others.
This is also a very dangerous point. The sum of the points of all players currently controlled by Bai Liu, that is, the sum of money is lower than that of Miao Fei-chi and the others, and the total number of items that have great control over Xiao Bailiu is less than him. Enemy.
And soon after Xiao Bailiu saw them the next day, this very keen kid would soon notice this-that is, Bai Liu didn't have Miao Feichi and they had money.
This is very embarrassing. When Xiao Bailiu knows that they are hostile, according to Bai Liu's understanding of himself, Xiao Bailiu will inevitably fall to the side with more money, and he is likely to betray himself to the father and son of Miao Feichi. Bai Liu's message—Bai Liu knows that the fourteen-year-old is not a child with a high degree of obedience. At present, Xiao Bailiu is only obedient to his money.
Even if this would lead to his own killing, Xiao Bailiu wouldn't care. When he was fourteen, his desire for money and death was much stronger than it is now.
Therefore, Bai Liu needs a point that, in addition to money, can contain Xiao Bai Liu's mischief for money. This point should be as equal as money. From Bai Liu's known experience-a great weapon to contain himself is Lu Yizhan.
Lu Yizhan can contain Bai Liu, who is prosperous for money, on the road of not breaking the law and committing crimes for so many years. In addition to this person's unusual stubbornness and the desire to be friends with Bai Liu, there is another very important reason-that is, Bai Liu is facing Lu. The inn is very curious.
Bai Liu is a relatively curious person, and he is full of a desire to explore all kinds of bizarre non-human behaviors. His curiosity in Lu Yizhan has never diminished for so many years.
Bai Liu is curious about when this Lu Yizhan, who is the same weird as himself, can be a good person, and what is the driving force of this person's behavior, and when this kind of curiosity is strong enough, it can even offset Bai Liu's opposition to a certain extent. The desire for money.
Lu Yizhan does not exist in this dungeon, then Bai Liu told Xiao Bailiu that such a person exists and that he will act as Lu Yizhan himself. Bai Liu extracted the most restraining element of Lu Yizhan—that is, Such curiosity.
Xiao Bailiu became curious about him and wanted to explore the logic of his behavior. That was the beginning of all stories.
Just as he did to Lu Yizhan.
