Chapter 78

Bai Liu didn't stay in the children's orphanage for a long time, he was about to enter a game with Mu Ke, and after simply scanning the contents of the orphanage, he was ready to leave.

But before Bai Liu left, he had to briefly explain to Lu Yizhan.

So Bai Liu asked Mu Ke to go home first and wait for him. When the young master left, he looked back at Bai Liu reluctantly, and asked when Bai Liu would come back. Demuke's father looked at Bai Liu in a wrong way.

As soon as Bai Liu came out, he saw Lu Yizhan waiting for him at the gate of the orphanage.

Seeing Bai Liu, Lu Yizhan couldn't hold back his teasing: "What about the young master? You drive a million-dollar car to follow your ass, and you keep staring at me. When did you have such charm?"

Bai Liu flirted back without changing her face: "What's the use of being attractive, I didn't reject him because of you and let him go first."

Lu Yizhan couldn't help laughing, but soon he restrained his smile and talked about serious matters: "You looked inside, how is it?"

Bai Liu said unhurriedly: "In addition to the poisoned children, there are also missing children in this orphanage. I know about the poisoned children, and the missing children. I guess this is not the first incident in this orphanage, right?"

"How do you know?" Lu Yizhan was surprised.

"The attitude is wrong." Bai Liu calmly analyzed, "I feel wrong about that teacher, normal people would avoid this kind of place where disappearances happened, but when she introduced it to us, although she was afraid, she still subconsciously I went to the missing place, the children's playground."

"This is not the first time that a disappearance case has occurred. There is a high probability that it has happened several times before this fearful but accustomed attitude appears."

"Yes." Lu Yizhan took the cigarette he put away a little irritably again, "We have learned about it with the dean, and it is said that there are almost every year in the past ten years."

Bai Liu asked rhetorically, "You should have a record of such disappearance cases that occur every year. Why haven't you heard of it before?"

"Because they were not missing, most of the children ran away by themselves. Even if they reported it to the police, they would be treated as running away from home." Lu Yizhan gritted his teeth on the cigarette holder, his eyes darkened, "It may have been mentioned in the record , not conspicuous if you don’t pay attention.”

The missing children in the private orphanages, it takes a lot of effort to find them, it is thankless, and there are no parents or relatives to scold you and urge you, so the disappearance cases that are reported intermittently are just put on hold to accumulate dust, with only a few lines of records Along with these disappearing children, they disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

"Before I found out that those entrepreneurs had invested in this children's welfare home. After they got better, I checked this welfare home exactly." Lu Yizhan exhaled a puff of smoke, "But this private welfare home has no public welfare home. The registration of the orphanage is so strict, and it is more controlled by private individuals. It is hard to say whether the records we have obtained are true records or not, as to how many children there are at a specific time."

"For example, if the child disappeared and the dean didn't report it for a few years, we probably didn't know about it."

Lu Yizhan was silent for a while and then said: "I tend to suspect that there is something wrong with those entrepreneurs, but they have gained both fame and reputation for so many years. We have no evidence here, and there is no way to investigate in depth."

Bai Liu continued lightly: "Supposing that even if this group of entrepreneurs really did something with some of the children back then, without knowing the names of these children and where they came from, it would be very difficult for them to It is possible to use such a disappearance trick to make these children disappear quietly from this orphanage, and you have no way to investigate."

"Yes." Lu Yizhan took a deep breath of his cigarette, and he coughed, "But Bai Liu, this is human life."

Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu with red eyes: "I'm not reconciled. The lives of these children are defined as accidents in this way. Even if it is really an accident, I have to rule out all other possibilities that are not accidents. I am reconciled, but now -"

"You have no evidence." Bai Liu looked at Lu Yizhan very calmly, "You can't rule it out, and this is not your job scope. If you can come to the scene, it is already a lot of meddling."

Lu Yi stood silent for a while, and soon this guy talked about the disappearance with Bai Liu as if nothing had happened, or in other words, perseveringly.

Lu Yizhan has a very peculiar resilience. Bai Liu will not touch something if he knows it can't be done. Everyone will try to do it.

And will pull Bai Liu together.

Lu Yizhan told Bai Liu about the specific disappearance cases he had learned, and showed Bai Liu the missing children and photos every year. Show Bai Liu who the missing children are.

When the first picture came out, Lu Yizhan was strangely silent for a while.

Because Bai Liu is among the missing children in this photo.

"You think he looks a lot like me at the age of fourteen, right?" Bai Liu asked Lu Yizhan directly on Bai Liu's face, commenting very flatly, "I think he looks a lot like me too."

"You don't look alike at all." Lu Yizhan's voice was low, he looked at Bai Liu intently, and rarely stubbornly refuted his friend, "Because he is dead, but you are still alive."

—————————

"Have you ever encountered such a situation, Mu Sicheng?" Bai Liu called Mu Sicheng while walking home, "In the future, as a [player], I will definitely die in a copy of the game ten years ago , and now, ten years later, I am still alive."

"I sound like a grandmother's paradox?" Mu Sicheng's voice came from Bai Liu's cell phone receiver, and he was surprised, "Bai Liu, your luck is really against the sky, don't say you met, I didn't even hear it in the game Heard about it."

[Grandmother Paradox] is a time paradox proposed by a science fiction writer, which means that if a person goes back to the past and kills his grandmother, then it is obvious that he will no longer exist in the future, so how does he go back to the past? What about?

This is the situation of Bai Liu now. If he enters the game in the future and dies in a copy of the game whose timeline is ten years ago, how is he alive now?

"Parallel universe theory?" Mu Sicheng tried to come up with an explanation, "The most common explanation for the grandmother's paradox is this. Suppose the parallel time and space you are in, Bai Liu, is a, and what you see is likely to be the failure to clear the level in time and space b." The white willow is loaded in our [game copy] in this time and space of a."

"Then you'd better not enter this orphanage game." Mu Sicheng's voice was quite serious, and he advised Bai Liu, "As long as you choose not to enter this game, then you will not die in this game, so that you Another possible time-space parallel to the time-space of your death can be formed."

"I don't think it's the theory of parallel universes." Bai Liu was very sober, and he calmly reminded Mu Sicheng, "Our [real world] is the [official version] of a game, and the result presented is already the [public beta version of the game world] ] is the final result of all existing game algorithms, theoretically there is no parallel universe derived from various events going in different directions.”

"Because the reality we are in is already the result of all possibilities, and it is impossible to parallel again."

"That's true." Mu Sicheng affirmed this point, but soon he realized, "No, wait, but if the result presented is unique, doesn't it mean that you will definitely die in that tenth place?" Is it in the copy of the game from years ago?!"

"But I'm still alive, which proves that I didn't die in that copy." Bai Liu thought clearly, "Otherwise [I'm alive] and [I'm dead] two propositions that exist at the same time, can't be parallel, the only real time and space that exists There is a paradox."

"Then..." Mu Sicheng was confused, "What's going on then?"

Bai Liu didn't have any questions from Guan Mu Sicheng, he had already walked to the door and took out the key to open the door.

Bai Liu asked with the mobile phone under one shoulder, "When are you going to enter the game?"

"Why?" Mu Sicheng bald when he mentioned this, "Fuck, I have lost sleep all night after I promised you to participate in the competition yesterday, what can you do? I can do 26 dungeons in two months Work hard, but at least you can gather people for me!"

"That's what I want to tell you. I want you to help me bring a couple of newcomers." Bai Liu spoke quickly, "Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu, they are two players who ranked first in the previous batch of newcomers , all have personal skills, panel quality c+, you take them through a first-level dungeon to practice your skills, teach them some basic knowledge of the game, don't protect them too much."

Bai Liu negotiated with Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu after eating hot pot yesterday. He asked the two middle-aged men if they were willing to participate in the league, and honestly told each other about the danger.

But Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu hardly hesitated, the two agreed with each other with tears in their hands, and they only asked Bai Liu two questions from the beginning to the end:

The first one is: "As long as we win, we can revive Guoguo, right?"

"Theoretically, yes." Bai Liu said, "But you should be able to slowly realize this wish by accumulating points in normal games. It is not as risky as the league, but the league will earn points faster. You can think about it tomorrow." answer me."

However, Xiang Chunhua looked at Liu Fu with some embarrassment, her hands tightly clutching her apron, and the TV behind her was still broadcasting the news that Li Gou was likely to be executed.

The news was rebroadcast, and the sound was turned on very loudly, and the whole room was filled with the unwavering voice of the male host of [Suspect in High School Girl Dismemberment Case Will Be Sentenced to Death].

Xiang Chunhua looked at Bai Liu sincerely:

"We go to participate in this competition, can we help you?" - this is the second question they ask.

Bai Liu was quiet for a moment: "Yes, but the death rate in this game is very high, maybe you can think about it..."

"Let's go." Xiang Chunhua laughed, there were still tears in her eyes, and she wiped them away with the back of her hand, "Don't think about it anymore, we believe in you, Bai Liu, and where do you accumulate points? Isn't it just to play games? Is it? I was still in our school's women's volleyball team, right Liu Fu?"
