Chapter 763 The System's Emotions Are Being Collected

Inside the Twilight Villa, which had long been the property of Bertrand.

The villa, which was originally empty and looked like a large haunted house, is now full of people and well-organized, and looks like a wealthy family's home.

However, everyone in the annex was a doll.

Although they are mass-produced in the style of dolls, they are all quite attractive.

There's no way around it; if you can choose something that looks good, you'll naturally choose the good-looking one.

In the deepest room of the annex, violent coughing could be heard incessantly, sounding as if the lungs were about to be coughed up.

Maria sat by the window, gazing blankly and coldly at the sky.

Even though she was a doll, having endured several 'retributions' from the world's consciousness, she was extremely weak at this moment, feeling powerless and unsure how much longer she could hold on.

Moreover, because of her existence, the consciousness of a certain world seemed to be somewhat exasperated, and the 'retribution' that descended each time was much more severe than usual. At first glance, it seemed that Maria really couldn't hold on for much longer.

Qianzhu calmly lowered his eyes and closed the system panel.

He will decide at the very last moment whether or not to take action against the consciousness of this world.

If he decides to take action, he'll be more gentle, after all...

Qianzhu interrupted her thoughts and looked up at the commotion taking place in the kitchen.

They have already caught the murderer.

"It's all over now."

He murmured to himself, and as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He slowly sat back down to recover.

A moment later, his breathing became slightly labored, his throat tightened, a sweet, metallic taste rose in his mouth, and bright red blood suddenly gushed out.

Qianzhu's vision was completely black, but her mind was perfectly clear.

A loud bang came from Behfinger's mouth, and he and Liu Qingyao created a chaotic commotion.

"Thousand Bamboo!!!"

The noise they made directly interrupted the background music playing in the kitchen as the murderer confessed.

"Ah! Now is not the time to scream! Get him to the hospital quickly!!"

Liu Qingyao was also shouting frantically, but she didn't forget to perform first aid measures.

Those working on the case in the kitchen immediately rushed out. Upon seeing this, Inspector Coral Head Yokomizo, who was in charge of the murder case, quickly ordered his subordinates to help take the person to the hospital.

01, who emerged from the system space looking bewildered, saw Qianzhu covered in blood on her chest. The entire ball emitted a sharp, explosive sound, and a progress bar suddenly appeared on the top of the ball, increasing by 0.5%.

[Aaaaaah! What on earth happened while I was gone?!]

01 nervously followed beside her, casually browsing the system shop to see if there was anything she could exchange for.

As he flipped through the pages, it suddenly occurred to him why he had been spending more and more time there lately.

Looking at Qianzhu, whose breathing was weak, 01 couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, after all, it seemed that it was not something it could control.

The more it thought about it, the more terrified it became.

If this continues, won't it get trapped inside?

Liu Qingyao, who was standing next to it, glanced at it slightly and could clearly see the fear and terror on its face, but he did not comfort it. Instead, he pretended not to see it and looked away.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Amuro Tooru, who had come with him, suddenly noticed that Behringer's complexion was rather unpleasant, appearing as pale as if she had lost all color.

He asked with some concern, "Behrfinger, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, maybe... I didn't eat enough!"

Behrfinger shook his head, his tone shifting from grave to shock.

Amuro Tooru: "..." He was a little skeptical, but also seemed to believe it.

Behringer sighed and waved casually at him, "Alright, alright, I said I'm fine, I'm just tired."

After saying that, he yawned twice more.

Seeing the weariness that he couldn't hide on his face, Amuro Tooru reluctantly agreed, "Alright, then you should go back and get some rest later."

Behrfinger nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Okay, okay."

Perhaps because we didn't get used to the experience like at Mikasa Hospital, the red light on the emergency room seemed to stay on for an unusually long time this time.

Just before Bechfenger fell asleep on Amuro Tooru's body, the light above finally went out, and the hospital bed was pushed out.

Qianzhu, lying on the hospital bed, was covered in medical equipment. Even though he was wearing an oxygen mask, it was clear that he was having difficulty breathing.

After the hospital bed was pushed away by the nurse, the surgeon tugged at his mask slightly, took a few deep breaths, and looked at everyone with a somewhat solemn and complicated expression.

"Let me be frank. This patient's condition is quite serious, and the probability of a complete cure is very low. Based on his physical condition, he probably has about ten years left to live. He should try to avoid strenuous exercise in the future. Taking good care of himself might extend his life."

In an instant, almost everyone froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Even 01, who was about to follow them to the ward, stopped, as if time had been frozen in mid-air.

"Ten...ten years? How could that be?" Ran Mouri raised her hand to cover her mouth, murmuring in disbelief.

The others' pupils constricted slightly, their instinctive reaction being disbelief.

Ten years is a long time, not short, but not very long either.

01 stood there stunned, many things flashing through its mind, but one thing finally stuck in its mind.

In her previous life, Rong Qian also died at the age of 26.

In this world, his life will still end at the age of 26, ten years from now.

It learned so much in that space that what seemed like just a coincidence of two numbers made it think twice.

Why?

Is it really true that even if you leave that world, your life won't be any better?

01 clenched her little fist and quickly arrived at the ward where Qianzhu was placed. She floated by the bedside and looked at her host who was unconscious due to anesthesia.

A strange, bittersweet feeling welled up inside it, making it feel incredibly lost.

01 may not know that, in the eyes of Liu Qingyao and Behringer, it showed strong emotional fluctuations.

Moreover, its emotions are being... collected.

Liu Qingyao walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair and sat down. Without attracting anyone's attention, she gently held 01 and stroked it with her thumb, as if to comfort it.

"Don't worry, 01," he whispered to himself. "Everything will be alright, because sometimes what doctors say isn't necessarily accurate, is it?"

01 nodded and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that welled up in her eyes.

"Besides, you're a system. You're powerful enough to make me leave that world."

He thought to himself again.

That indelible tenderness made 01 feel a little more at ease.
