Although Xu Haoyu said that it was not troublesome at all, Mu Qin felt that he and Zhou Yue still caused many big and small problems for the siblings. Especially when he was hunted down by the king before, Xu Haoyu and his sister were in danger and panic. It's just that Mu Qin has no other choice at this moment. If this matter can be resolved smoothly, he will definitely repay the siblings well.
But before repaying, Mu Qin still needs Xu Haoyu's help, he said to Xu Haoyu: "I want to be discharged from the hospital."
"You're crazy!" Xu Haoyu yelled in astonishment when he heard Mu Qin's words, and stretched out his hand to touch Mu Qin's hands and feet covered with plaster, as well as Mu Qin's slightly feverish forehead: "Look at your current appearance, you've been discharged from the hospital Are you looking for death?"
"I have to go out, I have something to do." Mu Qin frowned slightly, with a very serious tone. He stared at Xu Haoyu: "Take me out of the hospital."
Xu Haoyu deliberately persuaded him to give up this idea, and said firmly: "No... just let me do something if you have something. Besides, didn't you say before that you must stay by Zhou Yue's side? Now that you have been discharged from the hospital, what should Zhou Yue do? ? Do you still want to take him with you?"
What Xu Haoyu said is correct, Mu Qin cannot easily leave Zhou Yue's side. Mu Qin's existence can protect Zhou Yue from the king, and also protect the people around him from being possessed. Mu Qin also promised that Zhou Yue will always guard him , so now Mu Qin must not leave Zhou Yue's side.
But this also made Mu Qin feel uncomfortable, because he really had something to do.
Mu Qin pondered for a while, and said to Xu Haoyu: "Xu Haoyu, I don't know how long I can stay awake. Maybe tonight, I won't be able to sleep again, and I will sleep for a day or two, three or four days, or even longer. So when I wake up In the time I have, I have to do everything I need to do.”
"What are you going to do?" Xu Haoyu didn't ask Mu Qin why he couldn't sleep, he didn't care about the reason, he just wanted to help Mu Qin do something, so he said: "As long as I can do it of."
"You know I'm an orphan." Mu Qin took a deep breath and said, "I want you to help me investigate the orphanage I used to stay in when I was a child. The name is the Iris Orphanage. I want you to thoroughly investigate the inside of the orphanage. Please ask the staff how they found me and took me back to the orphanage. Please record all the information related to me. If possible, go to the orphanage to take some photos and bring back some items from the orphanage. , any item will do.”
Xu Haoyu somewhat understood Mu Qin's thoughts: "Do you want to investigate your own life experience?"
"Yes." Mu Qin said seriously, "I must know where I come from."
"Okay, I'll help you." Xu Haoyu stood up from his seat, picked up the coat that was draped over the back of the chair, "Since you said that you might not be able to sleep at any time, so I will collect it before you fall asleep tonight." As much information as possible comes back, you can wait at the hospital with peace of mind."
Mu Qin didn't express his gratitude to Xu Haoyu in words, he just smiled at Xu Haoyu: "I'll leave it to you, brother."
When Xu Haoyu heard Mu Qin call his brother, he paused for a moment, and finally sighed: "It would be great if you were still in the army. I miss the days when we trained together. I was exhausted and weak by all kinds of high-intensity training every day. Thinking of everything else, just running and laughing."
Mu Qin said humorously: "Yes, those days were very happy, although I was as tired as a dead dog every day."
Xu Haoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why is it so strange when you say it out of your mouth?"
After Xu Haoyu chatted with Mu Qin for a few words, he said goodbye and left the ward to help Mu Qin investigate the orphanage.
After Xu Haoyu left, Mu Qin asked the nurse who took care of them to help push Zhou Yue's hospital bed over and put it together with Mu Qin's hospital bed, so that Mu Qin could stand next to Zhou Yue and stare at him carefully.
Even when he was asleep, even if his body was haggard, Zhou Yue was still so good-looking that Mu Qin could look at him without moving for a long time.
"Don't worry, Zhou Yue." Mu Qin whispered softly to him, "No matter what the price is, I will bring you back from that world."
Although Mnuchin has no sense of guilt.
He was as calm as ever.
But the fact that he became a god of death, a killer, and killed all the players in the authority except Chu Xin still had a certain impact on Mu Qin. This influence caused Mu Qin's mentality to change, but he could not explain what kind of ending this change would bring him.
Will he still be the original Mu Qin
Mu Qin waited from morning to night. When night fell, Xu Haoyu, who had been running around for a day, finally came back with the information and materials Mu Qin needed.
"I used some intelligence departments that shouldn't be used." When Xu Haoyu came back, he was dusty, because the temperature of the night was cooling, his clothes were still cool, and when he entered the warm room, he took a deep breath.
Mnuchin asked: "Will this have adverse consequences for you?"
"It's okay, anyway, I'm not investigating any major matters, and my superiors should turn a blind eye." Xu Haoyu pulled a chair and sat on the edge of Mu Qin's hospital bed, and then stuffed the materials he brought back into the In Mu Qin's hand, "Look, this is all the information I can find in the shortest time."
Mu Qin held a stack of papers in his hand with a heavy heart. After hesitating for a while, he finally started to read carefully.
This stack of materials did record everything that happened about Mu Qin in that orphanage. It was about 28 years ago, on January 11, a cold and rainy night in the deep winter. Qin was put in a bamboo basket and abandoned at the gate of the orphanage, and was later found by the staff of the orphanage and brought back.
"According to the medical examination report conducted on you by the medical staff of the orphanage at that time, you were born at the end of December twenty-eight years ago. He was thrown away before the first month of his birth. He didn’t have anything to prove his identity, only the bamboo basket for you and the blanket that wrapped you. Because the urban development and construction work was still very backward twenty-eight years ago, road monitoring was not complete. , and there is no surveillance video showing who abandoned you."
Xu Haoyu looked at Mu Qin reading the information silently, and couldn't help explaining beside him: "The staff of the orphanage also cooperated with the local residents' committee to track down your biological parents, but there was no result. They investigated the information of all nearby hospitals. The obstetrics and gynecology department checked the list of every baby born in December and January, but did not find your birth certificate. In the end, nothing happened, so I accepted you as a member of the orphanage and gave you a nickname Xiaoqin, later you were adopted by your adoptive parents, so you will be called Muqin following their surname."
"The current Iris Orphanage has been abandoned, and the nearby floors are in a state of being demolished. The local developer seems to be planning to bulldoze it and build a business base." Xu Haoyu leaned over and picked out the documents in Mu Qin's hand. A few pages came out, "These are the detailed conversations I recorded through the conversations with the staff who worked in the orphanage on the phone or in the above interviews."
Mu Qin read these conversation records under Xu Haoyu's explanation, and Xu Haoyu continued in his ear: "These are the impressions those staff have of you, because there are many children in the orphanage, and batches of children come and go. , some people can't remember you, but some people still remember, especially this one... She was the childcare worker who mainly took care of you during those three years."
Mu Qin flipped through the pages and saw that the childcare worker Xu Haoyu mentioned was called Lin Li. There was also a photo of her in the file, the old photo from 28 years ago and the current photo. A gentle woman who is 20 years old, because the pixels of the photo are blurred, the facial features are not clear. And now she is an elderly woman in her fifties.
Mu Qin didn't have much impression of this woman, and he hardly had any memories of the three years in the orphanage.
Xu Haoyu said: "Lin Li was taking care of five children including you at the same time. She remembered every child she took care of. She said that you were a very well-behaved child who didn't like to cry, especially when you were a baby. Be obedient, only cry a few times when you are hungry and urinate so that Lin Li can nurse and change diapers, and stare and look around curiously at other times, you will not cry when other children are crying, it is very quiet , will play by myself."
"She also said that she has never seen such a well-behaved child. She will not cause trouble at all and is very easy to take care of. When she can walk and talk a little, she can already eat, sleep and bathe by herself, so she is very impressed." Xu Haoyu said with a look Looking very surprised, he looked Mu Qin up and down, "You are so good when you were young, it really makes people look at you differently."
"It sounds like I'm being naughty." Mu Qin smiled helplessly.
"Although you are excellent in life and won't cause trouble to others, Lin Li said that your psychological problems make her very worried, because you always call mom in empty places, it seems that you have imagined a A mother who doesn't exist." Xu Haoyu reached out and clicked on some words recorded on the paper.
"But at that time, psychological treatment and other methods were relatively backward, and people didn't pay much attention to psychological problems, so your problem was not solved. It was not until you were adopted that this problem was naturally solved."
Mu Qin flipped through several pages, and found that the content was basically the same. Those orphanage staff that Xu Haoyu contacted and interviewed basically said that he was a good boy when he was young, and that he seemed to have an imaginary mother, and nothing else. more.
Mnuchin also found some photos under these papers, which were a group photo of all members of the orphanage. All nurses and other staff were standing together, holding babies and children in their hands, and some older children stood in the front row. On this photo, Xu Haoyu specially circled it with a red pen. Inside the circle is a woman holding a baby. This woman is Lin Li. She is probably holding Mu Qin who was a baby at that time.
"Is there no more discovery?" Mu Qin felt a little disappointed.
"Yes." Xu Haoyu said calmly, "Lin Li's home is very close to the original site of the Iris Orphanage, and she still lives in the old house for more than 20 years, so when I investigated the orphanage, By the way, I went to visit her house in person. When I finished talking with her and was about to leave, she stopped me and told me some strange words... I didn't record these words on paper, so I will dictate them to you .”
"Tell me." Mu Qin listened carefully.
Xu Haoyu organized his language, and said to Mu Qin: "What Lin Li means is... Although many people think that the 'mother' you called is a product of your imagination, but Lin Li thinks that this 'mother' does exist. Yes, because this 'mother' once entrusted Lin Li with a dream, hoping that she would take good care of you, and then gave Lin Li something back for Lin Li to keep safe... It is best to hide it and not let you get it."
"Don't let me get... something?" Mu Qin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xu Haoyu said: "That thing has been in Lin Li's hands for more than 20 years. Lin Li said that as long as she touches this thing during the day, she will have nightmares all night, but when she wakes up, the nightmare will come back. Forgot the contents. She kept it locked in the cabinet to avoid nightmares... to this day."
With that said, Xu Haoyu took out something from his pocket and handed it to Mu Qin. Muchin paused, and took the thing with trembling hands—it was clearly a card, a card with a pure white front.
"That's it." Xu Haoyu continued, "Lin Li gave it to me. She said she didn't want to keep it for that 'mother' anymore, because recently, even if she didn't touch this card at all, she would Having nightmares every day, she said that she has kept this thing for more than 20 years and it is enough, it is time to return it to its original owner."
Xu Haoyu noticed that Mu Qin's face was obviously very abnormal, he realized something, and said to Mu Qin: "You know what this is, right?"
Mu Qin stared at the blank card for a long time, and finally sighed: "Yes, I know... this is a key."
Xu Haoyu did not ask "What is a key? Why do you use a card as a key?" He avoided talking about such questions, and continued to say to Muchin: "I also took some photos of the orphanage, and took Some things from the orphanage... It's just that the orphanage has been completely abandoned, and there are no valuable things to take. I only found some old documents in it, the documents locked in the cabinet, and the above is the adoption of orphans. lists of persons and persons wishing to adopt orphans."
Mu Qin put away the white card that Xu Haoyu had just given him, and then took the mobile phone that Xu Haoyu handed over. The photos of the orphanage that Xu Haoyu took were all taken with his own mobile phone. Qin also read one by one. In these photos, the Iris Orphanage is almost identical to the orphanage map that Mouchin experienced in the fringe world, with abandoned floors, yards full of tall weeds, and walls covered with vines and creepers.
These scenes made Mu Qin feel strange and familiar, and he felt palpitations in his heart, and even felt that his breathing was about to stop.
After reading these materials and photos, Mu Qin returned the phone to Xu Haoyu, and thanked Xu Haoyu: "Thank you for doing so much for me. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you."
"It's too unreasonable to talk about repayment. After that, you just need to treat me to a big meal. I will bring our former brothers to come and eat you poor." Xu Haoyu smiled humorously.
It was very late now, the sky outside was completely dark, and the night was very quiet, without much noise. When he came back to the hospital, Xu Haoyu expected that Mu Qin hadn't eaten much, so he ordered a takeaway for Mu Qin, preserved egg and lean meat porridge accompanied by some warm and nourishing food, supervised the finish, and then Xu Haoyu got up and prepared to leave.
Pushing open the door of Mu Qin's ward, Xu Haoyu thought of something, turned his head and said to Mu Qin: "Mu Qin, I know you have a lot of things to hide from me...but it doesn't matter, as long as you know that I will support you unconditionally."
"You are too kind to me." Mu Qin said, "I doubt why you are so kind to me. What is it about me that deserves you to do this?"
"You saved me..." Xu Haoyu said.
Mu Qin shook his head: "That's not a rescue, you must have other reasons."
Xu Haoyu scratched the back of his head and smiled brightly at Mu Qin: "Other reasons... because I like you very much."
Xu Haoyu's words startled Mu Qin and made Mu Qin stunned for a moment.
Probably not wanting to make Mu Qin worry, Xu Haoyu added: "Don't worry, if you stand in front of me with a girl with big breasts and let me choose, I will still choose the girl."
Mu Qin was speechless and helpless, and said for a while, "I don't want to make you sad, Xu Haoyu."
Xu Haoyu looked meaningless: "I won't be sad, my feelings for you are not as complicated as you think, let alone so deep, I am a sensible person, I know how to do to make my life more relaxed and happy. I will never hope for the impossible.”
Then Xu Haoyu said again: "Sleep well, no matter how long you have to sleep, I will take care of you."
Immediately after Xu Haoyu left, he closed the door without leaving Mu Qin behind.
Mu Qin watched him leave, heard his footsteps gradually going away, then lowered his head, and took out the white card that Xu Haoyu got back from Lin Li from his pocket.
The front of this white card is blank, and the back is the familiar starry sky background plus the pentagram magic circle, but this card is a little different from the white card that Mu Qin got from Zhou Yue before, because the pentagram magic circle on the back The array is dark red, as if it indicates some unknown, mysterious and terrible disaster.
Why did that "ghost mother" hold such a white card, and why did she give the white card to others for safekeeping, and even hoped that Mu Qin would never get this card.
And where will this white card take Mu Qin? Is it another throne map? Could there be another king on another throne
In another map of the throne, can Mu Qin see the ghost he called "Mom" back then
Mu Qin held the card and took a deep breath. He knew that no matter how he guessed, he would not get the answer. If he wanted to know the truth, maybe he should try this card. The white card can make the holder enter the dream created by the king Among them, Zhou Yue was locked as the heir by the king because of this.
"So I should sleep with it." Mu Qin said to himself, then turned his head to look at Zhou Yue who was lying on the bed next to him, and reached out to touch his eyebrows.
Mu Qin said to him gently: "Wish me good luck, my dear."
So that night, Mu Qin fell asleep with this card in his arms. He was not worried about the terrible results this card would bring to him, because he always felt in his heart that perhaps through this white card, he could see the "Ghost mother", Mu Qin really wants to meet her.
So he did it boldly, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Then Mu Qin succeeded. When he woke up from a drowsy sleep, he found himself in another strange world.
Here is a "tiankeng" terrain, a special geographical phenomenon, that is, it has a huge volume, surrounded by steep and trapped rock walls on all sides, presenting a well-shaped or barrel-shaped or even pot-shaped, naturally formed huge space, known as It is called "tiankeng".
And Mu Qin appeared at the bottom of this tiankeng. When he raised his head, he could see the dark sky above him... It was actually daytime here, but the sun was not visible, and the clouds were overcast, and the surroundings were extremely dark. sign.
There is a large waterfall in the tiankeng. The spring of the waterfall is on a steep cliff, and the splashing water pours down crazily, forming a deep pool at the bottom of the sky and the earth. When Mu Qin woke up, he stood beside this deep pool, and there was rippling pool water at his feet. Because of the impact of the waterfall, the water rolled up in waves and overflowed Mu Qin's ankles. Mu Qin shivered all over.
Mu Qin looked around, the tiankeng is not big, the waterfall pool almost occupies the entire bottom of the pit, but it is obvious that there are several cave entrances that can be entered at the bottom of the pit, this should be a map of the tiankeng plus underground caves.
Mu Qin was not in a hurry to enter those caves to explore. He first went around the pool, and then found that there was also a cave behind the waterfall, like the water curtain cave in Huaguo Mountain, covered by rushing water. But if you look closely, you can see it.
Mu Qin was attracted by this "Water Curtain Cave", because he vaguely saw a light shining behind the water curtain.
So Mu Qin began to look for a way to enter this "water curtain cave". He saw some stones protruding from the water surface in the pool. He could step on these stones, pass through the waterfall curtain and enter the cave behind... He was drenched in water, and the slippery stones could easily make him fall into the pool.
But Mu Qin did not retreat, he jumped onto the stone and stepped into the water curtain, enduring the cold caused by the icy waterfall spring water washing over his body and the impact of the waterfall water flow, finally successfully passed through the water curtain and entered the water curtain In the cave behind.
And the cave behind the water curtain is lit with lights.
