Chapter 60 Shi Qi?seventeen

After leaving the residence of Shen Ce and others, He Wandeng stopped at an intersection.

It's not that she's lost, but she doesn't know where to find the healer.

She was a little confused, she didn't know whether to go to the official material management office to inquire, or go back and ask Xie Yao for help.

At this time, a timid voice sounded beside her ear: "Sister, sister, do you want to help?"

He Wandeng looked at the source of the sound. It was a short-haired girl of thirteen or fourteen years old wearing ill-fitting clothes.

He Wandeng lowered his head slightly, looked at that ridiculously pretty face, and asked, "You're not an adult yet, right? Shouldn't you be on the fiftyth floor?"

The girl pursed her lips and said, "The orphanage stipulates that when you reach the age of 14, you don't have to stay on the 15th floor every day. I'm [-] years old."

"Are you working part-time?"

"Well, I want to save enough points to move out of the orphanage as soon as possible."

He Wandeng was curious: "Why? If you stay in the orphanage, won't you still be able to eat free food?"

The girl's eyes turned red in an instant. She lowered her head, grabbed the oversized clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to help? Just give me three or one point."

He Wandeng saw that she didn't want to say the reason, so he had to say: "Now I need to invite the highest-ranked healer in the base to visit the doctor. Do you know where to find it?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, and said: "The highest level of healing abilities in the base is level three, but level three healing abilities do not accept external consultations, and only accept official assignments."

This is not good news.

But what Su Man clearly said was that they didn't have enough points to invite third-level healing abilities.

He Wandeng asked: "Are all the third-level healing powers like this?"

The girl shook her head and replied, "There are a few who will consult privately, but their fees are very high."

He Wandeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay to charge a high fee, can you show me the way?"

The girl seemed to realize that she had done something wrong, and stammered a little: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said too much just now, I just...their fees are too high."

He Wandeng patted her on the head reassuringly: "No need to apologize, it's very good that you can tell me about the charges first."

The girl raised her head, her eyes seemed to be happy or sad, full of complex emotions that people couldn't see clearly, she said: "Please follow me."

At this time, there are very few people on the street.

He Wandeng followed the girl for a while, feeling bored, so she asked, "What's your name?"

"Seventeen."

He Wandeng thought these two words were familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard them.

She asked, "Shi Qi? Which two words?"

"The seventeen of the number one two three four five."

He Wandeng looked at the back of her head and asked, "Is there any meaning?"

The name is too weird.

Seventeen replied in a low voice: "I am ranked No.17 at home."

"Your family is really prosperous, but are your parents so lazy in naming you?"

Seventeen shook his head and said, "Seventeen is a number, I don't have a name."

He Wandeng asked in surprise, "Number?"

Seventeen turned around and smiled shyly at her, and said, "My brothers and sisters don't have names, and everyone calls each other according to their numbers."

"That's not right."

"Ok?"

Shi Qi looked at He Wandeng in confusion.

He Wandeng slowed down his speech and said, "Even the child who is least expected by his parents will have his own name, not a number."

Seventeen times she said: "You also said that it is a child and will have a name."

He Wandeng frowned, and before she could ask, Shi Qi said: "We don't know the meaning of our existence, we seem to be born to suffer.

"Taking medicine, injections, attending classes, physical examinations, and going to the operating table are our daily routines.

"After being on the operating table, if you survive, you will have candy the next day. If you can't survive, you will be taken away directly."

Shi Qi paused here, as if recalling an unhappy past.

She quickly adjusted her state, and continued: "My name is Seventeen, but the owners of those numbers before Seventeen are not all living with us.

"For example, my sister, half-brother kind of, she was very lucky to be taken out of there by our mother.

"And me and my twin brother, eighteen, are the price my mother paid for taking my sister away."

The more He Wandeng listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the place where Seventeen had lived since he was a child.

She asked, "Then how did you get out?"

Seventeen replied: "Eighteen used supernatural powers to control our guards and asked him to help us escape, but an accident happened on the way, and only Shiba and I escaped."

"Is Shiba also in this base?"

Shi Qi's mood was obviously depressed: "We got separated not far from the base."

He Wandeng comforted her: "Since it's not far from the base, he probably entered the base too. The area of ​​each floor of the dungeon is very large, and he may be in a certain area on the [-]th floor."

"What do you mean? Fifty floors, isn't it that big?"

"What you see should only be the area of ​​one district. Each floor of the dungeon has thirty districts. The districts are connected to each other, but the overall structure of each district is relatively independent."

He Wandeng copied what Wang Suduo said when he introduced the dungeon to her.

Shi Qi's eyes brightened a lot in an instant, she stopped, turned around and asked in surprise, "Really?"

He Wandeng rubbed her hair and said, "Do I have points for lying to you?"

"I, I," Seventeen said excitedly, "Sister, can we go faster?"

Knowing that she was in a hurry to find her brother, He Wandeng said, "Yes."

Shiqi took He Wandeng to the 25th floor. After they got out of the elevator, they walked for another 10 minutes before arriving at their destination.

Shi Qi nervously rang the doorbell of this family.

An elderly woman opened the door and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

Seventeen's voice replied in a tight voice: "We want to ask Dr. Feng for a visit."

The old man refused to let them in. She raised her drooping eyelids, looked at them from head to toe, and asked, "Do you know the rules?"

Seventeen hurriedly said, "We don't lack points."

The old man stretched out a hand and said, "Bring the card, I will deduct the deposit first."

He Wandeng looked at Shiqi, Shiqi nodded immediately.

He Wandeng reached into his pocket, took out the points card from the space, and handed it to the old man.

With a bang, the door was closed.

Seventeen explained in a low voice: "What you are paying now is a deposit, and you need to leave an address later, and Dr. Feng, who is the third-level healing person, will go there at night.

"He will charge different amounts of consultation fee according to the difficulty of treatment. If the consultation fee is higher than the deposit, he needs to make up on the spot, but if the consultation fee is lower than the deposit, he will not refund it."

"Then they won't deliberately deduct more consultation fees?"

He Wandeng was puzzled.

Shi Qi replied softly: "This kind of situation often happens, but sometimes the deduction is too much, and sometimes the deduction is less, everyone knows it well."

The door was opened at this moment, and the old man handed out the He Wan lantern card through the crack of the door, and said, "Address."

He Wandeng hurriedly reported Shen Ce's house number.

The old man lowered his head and wrote down on the paper, then said, "Eight o'clock tonight."

After speaking, she closed the door.
