In Lu Xun's article, "Medicine", there was a main description of human blood steamed bun. It was mainly to express the ignorance and superstition of people in a specific historical background. Now, it had developed to another level. For example, when the media reported that a child drowned in the reservoir and his family carried the corpse to the government to ask for compensation, the title of the article could also use the term "human blood steamed bun" in a general sense. It was a metaphor for using the blood of one's loved ones to earn another sum of money.
And now, what this team was doing was equivalent to drinking human blood steamed bun. They deliberately sent people to wander outside, deliberately attracting listeners who were trying hard to find babies or pregnant women. Then, in this residential area, if there was no accident, the brightly lit shantytown that Su Bai had seen previously was a very cruel trap. It was specially used to receive "visiting" listeners. The corpses of the dead listeners were hung in another house in the residential area. The nearly ten corpses on the wall were the trophy display cabinets.
Of course, children were also taken care of here. The net structure on the wall could isolate the sound of children crying from the outside to the greatest extent. It played a very good role in concealment.
In "Water Margin", Sun Erniang, the female yaksha, opened a hotel with Zhang Qing to sell human flesh at the crossroads of Meng State Road. This team's method was even worse. At the very least, Sun Erniang was willing to take the bait, and this team was deliberately luring the listeners to "invite them into the trap".
At this moment, Su Bai really felt that there were many talents in the audience. When the forest was big, there were really all kinds of birds. Regardless of whether they were elegant or despicable, everything could be done for the sake of profit.
Su Bai had once encountered "wire fraud" from the listeners, which could be considered the best evidence.
However, in the story world, the focus of the goal was to rob other listeners, and they were never tired of it. Regardless of their height, weight, or strength, they were all good. This was indeed a little too low.
Su Bai also laughed self-deprecatingly. He actually still had the mood to evaluate other people's methods.
There were two people inside. One of them was in charge of 'attracting bees and butterflies' as bait, while the other was in charge of taking care of the children. Those who were assigned to such a mission were clearly the weakest in the entire team, be it in terms of strength or status. Su Bai was very confident in dealing with them. However, it was still a little difficult to kill them without making any noise. It was even a little impractical. After all, although the interior of the house had been modified, it could only isolate sound and not energy fluctuations.
Therefore, Su Bai did not choose to make a move directly. Instead, he continued to stand in the living room for two minutes as his escape plan began to appear in his mind. He had also planned out his route of escape. After snatching the child, Su Bai did not plan to return to the suburbs to look for Xu Qing. As long as the child was in the hands of one of the team members, the entire team would be considered to have completed the mission. Therefore, there was no need for everyone in the team to hold the child and stand together.
When Su Bai finished his preparations and was about to enter the bedroom, a man suddenly exclaimed from the bedroom, "What's going on? Why is the child's body temperature so low?"
"What?"
"No, I was wondering why he couldn't smell you eating barbecue here and didn't wake up to make a ruckus. H-he's in shock."
"Wait, let me see …"
"How is it?"
"He's not in shock. He's just died …"
"Dead? How is that possible! "
"He's really dead. We're done for."
Su Bai, who was standing at the door, heard the conversation inside. He did not leave. Instead, he pushed the door open and walked in. Two men were sitting by the bed, looking at Su Bai with a hint of surprise. However, they did not act rashly, nor did they subconsciously pick up the child.
From the looks of it, the child was indeed dead. They had no intention of risking their lives for a dead child.
"Move, let me see," Su Bai said.
"Sorry, you can't." One of the men stood up, and long green fur began to grow on his body. It was unknown what kind of beast it was, but he did not look like a werewolf.
"Since he's already dead, why don't you let me take a look?" Su Bai asked. He still felt that these two men might have sensed that he had entered the room, so they were just putting on a show. At the same time, they notified their teammates to come and help.
"No means no, friend. You really can go elsewhere to look for the baby, because our team is going too." The beastial man glared at Su Bai with an unfriendly expression.
The other man was holding the child, his face ashen. It was not because he was afraid of Su Bai, but because he was panicking at the result in front of him. His responsibility was to take care of the child, but the child had suddenly and inexplicably died. How was he going to explain this to the few people in the team?
"Get lost!"
Su Bai took out his Hellfire shotgun and fired at the guy in front of him. The barrage of bullets from the Hellfire shotgun swept the beastial man into a corner. He was not completely dead, but his beastial body and skin were already full of holes.
Su Bai could not be bothered to kill anyone at this time. He just quickly moved forward and snatched the baby from the hands of the beastial man.
For Su Bai, he did not need to rely on breathing or listening to a person's heartbeat to determine whether they were dead or alive. This was because he could sense the state of blood in a person's body. This baby's blood was stagnant, and he could not be more dead.
A dead baby could not be used to hand in a mission.
Su Bai threw the child to the man in front of him and turned to leave the house. Perhaps this was the bad taste of a horror broadcast. You were here eating human blood and constantly using this baby to attract the listeners to kill you, but in the end, the baby in your hands suddenly died. Even if you made a fortune from these ten listeners, it would still be a pipe dream. If the main mission was not completed, you would not be able to get the ticket and stay in this city to be destroyed along with it.
What was the point of all this?
When Su Bai had just left the residential area, several strong energy waves suddenly came from the residential area. He could sense that the stronger listeners in the team would be furious when they heard the news of the sudden death of the baby. They had gained a lot in this world, but if they did not make it out alive in the end, it would become the most ridiculous comedy.
He took out his phone. Except for a few messages from the number 10086 and two missed calls from Ping An Insurance, there was no news from Xu Qing. This meant that the conjoined twins were still alive.
A hope suddenly rose in Su Bai's heart. That was, if a seemingly healthy baby could die suddenly in a horror broadcast, would the conjoined twins who seemed to be dying create a miracle?
This seemed to fit the aesthetic of a horror broadcast, but Su Bai dared not put all his hope on it.
Stopping, Su Bai stood on a dark floor of an office building and lit a cigarette. Through the glass window, he had a panoramic view of the old residential area diagonally below him.
The energy waves had gradually subsided and disappeared, but Su Bai did not think that they would spend the night peacefully. Compared to himself and Xu Qing who had been staying in the suburbs, this team that had been entrenched in the city should have more information. When the baby in his hand suddenly died, what would they choose to do?
In fact, it was self-evident.
Su Bai saw two cars driving out of the residential area. The two cars were very close to each other, and they did not turn right into the main road. Instead, they chose to turn left into a small road. The car in front was flashing a light blue halo. It should be one of the listeners performing their ability to do something.
Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stepping on it with his foot, Su Bai directly jumped down a few floors and followed the two cars from a distance.
The speed of the cars was not very fast, because there were a lot of illegal parking on both sides of the small road, so the road was not very spacious. At the same time, they seemed to be planning something, and they were not in a hurry.
This also created a good condition for Su Bai to follow them. About 20 minutes later, the two cars turned into an alley and stopped. This area belonged to a group of nail-biters. It was surrounded by high-rise buildings, and there were several rows of old-fashioned buildings. Obviously, there should be a team hiding here.
The three people got out of the two cars respectively, and then directly hid in the darkness and sneaked in.
Su Bai walked over, opened the front passenger seat of a car, and sat in.
In the driver's seat was the man who had shapeshifted in front of Su Bai. The man's body was hastily bandaged, but blood was still flowing out. He was not very concerned about Su Bai's appearance, nor was he very surprised. He even took the initiative to take a pack of cigarettes and handed it over.
"I knew you would follow. The captain also said that you would follow."
Smiling, Su Bai adjusted his seat and put it back.
The man lit a cigarette, and the cigarette butt flickered. Then, he suddenly said, "Do you think we will succeed?"
"I don't know," Su Bai replied.
"I think we are actually halfway there."
Su Bai was slightly stunned, and then came to a sudden realization. Then, he took the initiative to take out a cigarette from the cigarette box. "Hehe, very good."
The man also laughed. "I am a clean freak. How can I eat skewers and throw them on the ground? By the way, do you usually like fishing?"
Su Bai shook his head, and at the same time, slowly sat up straight.
"Oh, no wonder. People who really know how to fish should understand one principle, that is to change the fishing line and hook according to different fishing conditions."
