Chapter 36 Bandaging
Reality, system space, one hour later.
Lin Muyu's eyelashes trembled, and he covered his splitting headache head and slowly woke up.
His brain hadn't returned to normal yet, and he stared at the white ceiling in a daze, with double images before his eyes.
After a moment, his memory returned and his expression suddenly became serious. He supported himself on the floor and sat up, taking the lead in checking on his companions.
Fortunately, they were just superficial injuries. It seemed that after being blown away by the impact, the system determined that the player had passed the level and brought them to the space, preventing them from hitting the ground headfirst.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but the side effects of using up my superpowers were still making their presence felt. Lin Muyu wanted to raise his hand to rub his temple to relieve the pain, but his fingers suddenly touched a piece of rough cloth.
I subconsciously turned my head to check and found a tattered rag doll lying quietly beside me.
What's this?
He picked it up with his hands. The cotton-core doll felt soft, and the button eyes seemed to be about to fall off.
"bite--"
Electronic sound goes online at the right time to inform unaware players.
"Hello player, we have detected that you were not conscious when you extracted the supernatural item. The system will repeat the purpose of the item."
"The item is called the Death-Free Gold Medal. It can resist fatal attacks. It can only be used once, so please use it with caution."
"In addition, there are other rewards for clearing the game. Players are welcome to take them."
After explaining the purpose dutifully, the electronic sound disappeared, leaving only the countdown time on the wall, reminding players that the system space is about to be closed and asking them to evacuate early.
The system will not settle when no one is awake.
Lin Muyu silently squeezed the doll in his hand, and his slow and sluggish brain began to work slowly.
When he was unconscious, the mysterious man was also here, just a few steps away from them.
The other party left the space without taking anything away.
Lin Muyu lowered his head and sat quietly for a while, not knowing whether he was daydreaming or thinking.
It was not until he heard the sound of clothes rubbing beside him that he was awakened from this state and looked back.
It’s Qi Heng.
The other party was wearing the light clothing they wore before entering the dungeon. The damn system doesn't care about the player's life or death. No matter how seriously injured the player is, it will still put the clothes back on, causing the wound and the cloth to be coagulated together by blood, which is a horrible sight.
Not to mention the opponent's calf, which was the most serious. The wound was so deep that the bone could be seen, and it caused a tearing pain when it was slightly pulled.
Qi Heng looked a little dazed and propped himself up and sat up. The movement was quite large and it went without saying that it would hurt the wound. Lin Muyu was about to remind him when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Logically, pain should lead to subconscious conditioned reflexes. But Qi Heng's cold face showed no reflection of his frowning, inhaling, or stopping. He seemed not to feel any pain at all. He just calmly raised his legs and adjusted his sitting position, ignoring the bleeding from his wound again.
So it’s not that I have a strong pain tolerance, but that I don’t feel pain?
"You need to be bandaged."
Lin Muyu took out bandages and medicine from the bag that was lost and found, and handed them to Qi Heng who came here because of his reputation.
"Your wound is very serious. The government rescue team is outside the dungeon. After you get out, you can take a ride with us and leave after your wound is healed."
As for joining, let that unreasonable superior do it.
The boy stared at the item handed to him. Maybe his brain was still restarting. After a moment, he said thank you, took the bandage and began to bandage himself.
Lin Muyu silently watched his rough movements that could cause pain to the wounded and break their defenses, and confirmed his guess.
He sighed helplessly, stood up, took the medicine from Qi Heng's hand under his puzzled gaze, and smiled gently:
"I've learned a new bandaging method. Can I try it? It just so happens that we both have injuries on our backs, and I'll need you to help me apply the medicine when the time comes."
Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, then simply nodded and began to carefully observe the other party's meticulous and steady bandaging technique.
——
After bandaging the wounds and tidying up Si and An who were unconscious on the ground, Lin Muyu helped Si and An up, stopped Qi Heng from helping, and carried the two of them up with some effort.
He then left the system space and met the rescue team who were anxiously waiting outside.
Looking at the four injured people with terrible appearances, the rescue team gasped and rushed forward to help them and put them in the car.
Qi Heng looked at the person who was supporting him with a frown, and was about to say that he didn't need help, but he held it back when he saw the other person's sidelong glance. He was obediently led to the comfortable seat.
"Why don't you look at what's become of your legs? You still dare to walk around like that. Don't think that the healing psychic won't be angry!"
The girl who was supporting Qi Heng spoke in an evil tone, with a fierce aura that was completely different from her gentle appearance. The sense of oppression from the medical staff is enough to make every disobedient wounded person behave themselves.
She was wearing a uniform, with a green badge with the word "Xinyi" engraved on it, and the border was painted in gold, unlike the others.
After the girl named "Xinyi" ordered Qi Heng to lift his leg, she recognized the familiar bandaging technique and felt relieved to use her special powers.
A light green energy light emerged from the bandage and penetrated into the hidden wound, causing a slight itchy sensation.
"Tsk, the bones are exposed."
Xinyi smacked her lips and unhappily transferred her supernatural powers, causing the granulation tissue to grow rapidly and the drugs to take effect quickly. The new flesh gradually covered the revealed white bones.
It was a wonderful feeling. Qi Heng stared at his calf quietly, as if he could see the wound gradually healing through the bandage.
This world provides him with freshness all the time.
The energy light disappeared, Xinyi withdrew her hand, and began to check the other wounds on Qi Heng's body.
He kept giving instructions: "I've almost finished patching you up. Remember, the bandages can't be removed yet. Take good care of yourself for a few days and don't do any big movements. You also need to apply medicine every day. Just come to the medical office and get a prescription."
At this point, she came to her senses and remembered that the other party was not affiliated with the government, but was an idle psychic.
Xinyi stopped and put her hands on her hips, looking at Qi Heng with a questioning look. She asked in disbelief:
"You're not going to keep running around with your lame leg, are you?"
"Given your ability, the government will be happy to grant you a rest room. If you want to go back somewhere else, we can only give you a ride, and we can't provide a service to send you home."
Qi Heng shook his head at the other party's increasingly ominous gaze, and finally interrupted: "Lin Muyu told me. I don't have anywhere to go, so please take me back with you."
"Besides, isn't there a large-scale competition held by the government soon? I also happen to participate in it."
"Oh, then you have to take good care of your wounds." Xinyi nodded in agreement, then put down her hand and continued to repair Qi Heng's wound.
After solving the problem of where to go, she focused on releasing her supernatural powers to heal her wounds. Qi Heng felt that she should like this kind of job very much. Her eyes were shining faintly as she stared at the wounds. She was mending the wounds one by one as if she was repairing a broken doll, and she felt satisfied with every healed crack.
Although I hate not taking care of my body, I enjoy the process of healing my wounds.
.........
After the treatment, Qi Heng communicated with the light ball in his head about the next plot and closed his eyes as if he was taking a rest.
After a while, there was a dull knock on the car window.
He opened his eyes and turned his head, meeting the gaze of his boss and Ann.
Oh, this person is awake.
Looking at the bright and energetic smile outside the window, he watched the other party gesture to ask if he could go in, and nodded silently.
Under the threatening gaze of the medical staff behind him, Si Yuan slowly opened the car door and got in. After closing the car door and isolating himself from the outside world, he excitedly asked the person next to him:
"Qi Heng, are you also going to participate in the Battle of Zhuolu?"
That's what you were asking.
"Yes, strive for a rank."
Qi Heng responded briefly, having already predicted what the other party was going to say.
Sure enough, Si Yuan smiled even brighter after hearing the answer. After learning that he didn't have any teammates to form a team with, he revealed the purpose of his visit:
"Then would you like to join our team? We are just short of a teammate."
The sparkling eyes in front of him made Qi Heng turn his head away involuntarily.
"I was going to ask you that, of course."
Decisively interrupting the impending cheers, he immediately asked about Ye Yunhe's condition.
"Xiaoye is fine. Xinyi has relieved her side effects and she is still lying down." Si Yu'an leaned back in his seat and said thankfully.
He was actually still thinking about what happened in the copy.
Both Xiao Ye and Qi Heng are decisive people. As a companion, I was fortunate enough to seize the opportunities they gave me, but sometimes, success is not guaranteed just by seizing the opportunities.
If I hadn't been rescued by the mysterious man this time...
Don’t think about it for now.
Si Yuan shook his head, as if trying to clear the distracting thoughts from his mind.
He cast his gaze towards Qi Heng's calf, and vaguely heard Lin Muyu telling him his guess, and thought for a moment.
His intuition told Si Yuan that this was not an untouchable issue, so he asked directly:
"Qi Heng, do you feel no pain?"
This was indeed the case, and the person being questioned simply glanced casually at the bandage and confirmed his words.
From this perspective, we can trace the other party's various behaviors.
When pouring hot water, he watched them drink it before taking a sip; when a steamed bun with a small stone stuck in it hit his teeth, he just spit out the stone with a blank expression and continued eating; he could decisively cut off the wound corroded by the black air, and even sank his legs into the black air without hesitation...
Isn't it dangerous to think like this? ?
Si and An secretly took a deep breath, worried about how difficult the other was. I began to imagine the various things that would happen when Qi Heng cleared the dungeon alone in the future. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that having a body that didn't need to worry about pain was very disadvantageous. What if he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and fainted at the intersection?
His expression changed drastically.
"I can probably guess what he's thinking." The light ball began another passionate ten-shot burst, recording Si and An's various expressions, intending to use them as material.
Indeed, it is so obvious that there is no need to guess.
Tearing open the bread given by the medical staff, Qi Heng began to eat it while watching the expression show in front of him.
The soft sweet bread, the rare rest time, and the special performance were so relaxing.
