In psychology, this phenomenon is called the "abandoned cat effect."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I brought you a truckload of supplies this time."
Bai Ye pointed at the robot that was unloading the truck and said, "These things should be enough for you to survive the winter. Alina, you should stay at home from today on."
Alina's fingers clenched together nervously, "Why did you buy so many things? Did something happen?"
"Well, I got some news. A big event happened in Longmen City, and it also affected the slums. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the next period of time... Anyway, for safety reasons, you have to take the children and hide well. Tell me if you need anything, okay?"
Alina nodded slightly. Of course she would listen to Bai Ye's words.
At this time, the robot had finished unloading the car. Alina mobilized the children to move the food to the storage room. Now the weather was getting colder, and with the refrigeration equipment that Bai Ye brought earlier, there was no need to worry about the food going bad.
"The rain is getting heavier. I have to go now."
"Well, drive carefully and remember to tell me when you get home."
Alina stood at the door, looking at Bai Ye eagerly, as if she was a wife looking at her husband leaving home.
Bai Ye set out on the journey back.
The orphanage was located in a very remote area, and the rain was getting heavier. Although it was only evening, the sky was as dark as midnight. It took Bai Ye nearly two hours to drive home.
There was also a lot of food in the car, which Bai Ye prepared for himself. He planned to go into seclusion from tomorrow until he could create a decent prosthetic body.
Bai Ye was extremely happy at the thought of being able to stay at home without having to work.
But the next second he was no longer happy.
He parked the car at the door, and with the help of the headlights, he found a person lying at the door of his house!
Or....
a corpse.
Volume 7: Chapter 007 . Be on guard against others
"The whole family property will be destroyed!"
Bai Ye immediately turned off the car, curled up in the driver's seat, leaving only his eyes exposed and turning on the scanning function.
First take a look at the opponent's prosthesis.
But the strange thing is that no matter how Bai Ye scanned, the system still showed that no prosthesis was found.
how come?
Bai Ye grinned. Even if a person is dead, the system can still detect the prosthesis. Every time after a gang fight, Bai Ye went to the garbage dump to pick up leftovers, and he could find a lot of prostheses with this function.
Doesn’t this person have a prosthetic body this time?
He couldn't figure it out, but hiding in the car all the time was not a solution. He hid in the car for a while, and when he found that there was indeed no one else around, he got out of the car and waded through the rain to the door.
The "corpse" was just soaked in the rain, and the blood was washed away by the rain.
He opened the door, grabbed the "corpse" by the arm and dragged it into the house. It would not work to just leave it at the door and pretend not to see it, as it would definitely cause trouble if someone saw it.
Bai Ye turned on the system again, looked around carefully, and closed the door after confirming that there was no one there.
He was soaked all over and leaned against the door, looking at the "corpse" not far away and breathing heavily, rain flowing down his hair and mixing with the sweat on his forehead.
It’s so awful. I just went to deliver some food, how could something like this happen?
After catching his breath for a while, seeing that the "corpse" was still motionless, Bai Ye stood up and walked forward to check to see if the other person was really dead.
If she is already dead, it will be easy. No matter who this person is, just go out at night and throw her into the garbage dump. No matter who finds her, it has nothing to do with you.
But things often go against one's wishes.
Bai Ye began to test the other person's heartbeat.
female?
Well, that's not important.
It's not that he wants to take advantage, it's mainly because pulse and breathing can be faked, but heartbeat cannot.
Or it's difficult.
So checking the heartbeat is the most effective way to determine vital signs.
He felt carefully and indeed caught a faint heartbeat.
still alive.
Headache....
The other party was still alive, so Bai Ye couldn't throw her out again. That's how Alina fainted on the river bank. Bai Ye took her home and took care of her for three days before the poor little deer woke up from her coma.
It's the same now.
Although there might be trouble, it was a life after all, and he couldn't just abandon it.
There was no choice, so Bai Ye first dragged her to a bright place.
The first thing that caught my eye was a head of dazzling blonde hair.
Bai Ye looked at the other person carefully and found that the girl was extremely beautiful, even a little exaggeratedly beautiful. Under her high nose bridge were pale cherry lips, and her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, obviously she could not rest in her sleep.
Wow, so beautiful?
Bai Ye was worried. Such a beautiful woman looked difficult to deal with. She might be the lover of some big boss. But he would feel guilty if he didn't save her after she fainted at his doorstep.
Never mind. She looks like she’s almost dying anyway.
Bai Ye made up his mind, went upstairs to get a set of old mattresses, then stuffed the girl in and locked her in the basement. He also installed several detectors at the door of the basement, so that he would be able to know immediately if the girl left the basement.
Life and death matter.
I'm not standing by and watching someone die, but I'm just a cyborg doctor and I don't have the ability to treat illnesses.
Whether you can hold on until tomorrow morning depends on you.
Bai Ye comforted himself in this way and went upstairs to sleep.
As for conscience, he does have one.
But not much.
------------
Silent all night.
Bai Ye woke up early because he was worried about the unidentified girl in the basement. After washing up, he went downstairs with a sandwich.
The padlock was still hanging on the door, and there was no sign that the alarm next to the door had been triggered.
Is that woman really dead?
Bai Ye knocked on the door gently, but the basement was silent and no sound came out.
Perhaps this person is indeed dead.
Carefully opening the door to the basement room, the girl was still lying on the ground in the same position as last night, with the quilt piled casually on her body.
Bai Ye stood at the door and sneered.
"Stop pretending, I know you're awake."
The girl didn't move, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go forward to collect the body, but he heard a faint sigh. Then, in his surprised eyes, the other party staggered and sat up.
Bai Ye exclaimed that he was lucky.
She's playing dead!
I just said something casually and actually tricked her out.
"You saved me?"
The girl's eyes were a little dazed, her face was pale, and she looked visibly weak. The mere action of standing up had already drained all her strength.
Bai Ye didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Thank you, where is this?"
"Longmen, the slums."
"I understand." The girl said this, but her eyes were always on the sandwich in Bai Ye's hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm very hungry. Can you give me that? I'm willing to pay for it."
Bai Ye took two steps forward, put the sandwich on the ground, then stepped back and motioned for her to get it herself. The girl's expression remained unchanged, she gritted her teeth, crawled on the ground with difficulty, and reached out for the food.
But just as she got the sandwich and was about to take a bite, Bai Ye spoke up to stop her.
"Wait, don't eat that."
The girl was obviously very hungry, but she still forced herself not to eat.
Bai Ye took the sandwich back and threw it into the trash can under her puzzled look.
"There are neurotoxins in this. Sorry, but we must be on guard."
The girl was stunned at first, then forced a smile. Her beautiful face and pale complexion gave her a sad beauty.
Now Bai Ye can be sure that the girl is most likely safe. First of all, she doesn't have a prosthetic body, and secondly, if she is coming for him, she will definitely not eat this sandwich.
"Can I leave?"
The girl tried it and said with a wry smile: "Not really..."
Bai Ye had no choice but to walk up to her and asked, "Hold me or carry me on your back?"
After a fierce psychological struggle, the girl took a deep breath and said, "Hold me, thank you."
Bai Ye also agreed with this. The size of the other person's chest was really shocking. If he carried it on his back, it would cause a lot of psychological pressure on him.
Bai Ye opened his arms. The girl hesitated for just a second, then fell into his arms as if she had accepted her fate.
The soft body made her a little irritated, but since she was sure that she was not dangerous, she naturally could not let her live in the dark and damp basement.
Bai Ye carried her to the dining table, where there was already prepared lean meat porridge, feather beast eggs, and his homemade pickles.
"Eat, I have something to ask you after you finish eating."
The girl nodded, but was still a little hesitant.
"There shouldn't be any poison in this, right?"
Bai Ye laughed dumbly, took out a new spoon, and scooped a spoonful of porridge from her bowl into his mouth. The girl breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her head and ate seriously.
Watching her eat, Bai Ye discovered one thing: she was obviously very hungry, but she still chewed her food slowly. Her slender neck, like a swan, stood proudly, with an elegant temperament.
No wonder they say beauty is a feast to the eyes. Just watching her eat, Bai Ye felt it was a pleasure.
She quickly finished a whole bowl of porridge. Seeing her unsatisfied look, Bai Ye advised: "You are very weak now. Eating too much will put a burden on your body."
The girl nodded, put the dishes aside, and pursed her lips.
"excuse me."
"Then let's get down to business." Bai Ye looked into her eyes.
"Who are you and why did you faint at my doorstep?"
Volume 8: Chapter 008 . King of Fall Resistance
008.
Faced with Bai Ye's question, the girl spoke calmly without much thought.
"My name is Vina, and I'm a tourist who came to Longmen. Yes, our tour group was attacked by gangsters, and I escaped alone and fled here."
Bai Ye crossed his arms. This kind of thing was not uncommon and had happened before. Although Longmen was a very safe city, there were always tourists who sought death.
There was a news report before that a group of tourists from Leithania were wandering around and actually wandered into a scavenger's nest.
The group of scavengers were all stunned. They had been cutting kidneys for so long, but this was the first time they saw one delivered to their door on its own initiative.
The result was that the three men and one woman all had their kidneys cut off, especially the woman, who had no intact part of her body except her eardrums.
By the time the Guards found them, their kidneys had already been sold to Ursus.
This incident caused quite a stir and almost turned into a diplomatic incident. Later, the Guards arrested all the scavengers in the city and sentenced them all to heavy sentences. Only then did the situation in Leithania calm down.
Because of the brutal actions of the Guards, many scavengers fled to the slums overnight to seek refuge, and some even came to Bai Ye to sell their organs.
