Chapter 259 You Have to Return My Heart to Me
Being used by players, related to the prop, and having bloodstains at the heart position, the first thing Zhong Mu could think of was that he was holding the prop in his hand.
He asked tentatively, "What is the doctor's name?"
The doctor smiled slightly and said, "Drink the medicine first, and I'll tell you later."
Zhong Mu frowned and looked at the medicine bowl in his hand. He wrinkled his nose and drank the whole bowl in one gulp. A feeling of nausea suddenly came over him, making him want to vomit but couldn't.
"You can't spit it out now." The doctor lowered his head indifferently, touched the little paper man standing beside him, and instructed him to get a bowl from the corner.
"I, want to... vomit... there's... something... in my stomach..." Zhong Mu wanted to vomit not only because the medicine tasted bad, but more importantly, the moment he drank it, his body suddenly became hot and stinging, as if something was rolling in his stomach, and he was trying hard to vomit out the medicine.
"Just bear with it for a while, it will be fine after a while." The doctor murmured softly, slowly reaching out his hand and groping in the air twice, then handed over a sachet from his sleeve, "If you really can't stand it, just smell this."
Zhong Mu didn't think too much, he just took it and covered his nose with it. It smelled like mugwort, which immediately cleared his cloudy brain a little, but he still felt uncomfortable.
"If you can feel something crawling out of your throat that you can't help, you can spit it out. But you absolutely cannot spit it out if it's medicine." The doctor instructed carefully, and the little paper man next to him was holding a bowl, waiting for Zhong Mu to finish.
Zhong Mu could feel that the moment he took the medicine, something was churning in his stomach. An unknown existence wanted him to vomit out the medicine, causing Zhong Mu great pain.
Zhong Mu was enduring it, and the things in his stomach were also enduring it. When he couldn't endure it anymore, the things came out naturally.
"Are you okay?" Hearing Zhong Mu's heavy breathing, the doctor frowned worriedly.
"I'm still... vomiting...!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a foreign object in his throat. Zhong Mu grabbed the bowl and vomited it out. Along with the black and sticky medicine juice, something rolled out of Zhong Mu's throat.
Before he could take a closer look, the little paper man next to him quickly caught the thing with another bowl, and then ran out of the house happily.
"Feeling better?" The doctor groped his way across the table, then walked over to Zhong Mu and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. "As long as you spit that out, you won't be affected by the dungeon anymore. The headache, tinnitus, and dizziness will all go away."
"What...did I vomit out?" Zhong Mu felt extremely uncomfortable just now. He didn't even see clearly before the little paper man took it away, but he could clearly feel that what he vomited out was a living, moving thing.
"This is the medicine you took." The doctor smiled faintly and wiped the medicine from the corner of his mouth. "When it's packed and brought back, you'll be able to see what it is."
Zhong Mu looked grim. If he remembered correctly, the medicine he took was actually an eyeball, right?
Resisting the discomfort, Zhong Mu wiped his pale face and looked up at the doctor seriously, "I've taken the medicine. Can you tell me your name now?"
Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, but she still kept asking his name. Her thinking was really single-minded.
The doctor smiled and stood up straight, saying, "My name is Mu He. Generally speaking, I don't like to tell players my name. What's your name? What's your name?"
Hearing the familiar name, Zhong Mu felt that his guess was right. The doctor in front of him was the owner of the SSS-level item and heart he had obtained, Mu He.
"My name is Zhong Mu. You may not know me, but I know you!" Zhong Mu immediately lowered his head and began to look for the heart that had been wrapped for him in his storage props. Now that he saw the owner, it would be convenient to return it.
"Zhong Mu...are you the one that Yin Xiu mentioned...the one who holds my heart?" The doctor paused slightly, then smiled silently and touched his chest.
No wonder I have been feeling my heart pounding these past two days. It turns out that the heart-bound person was going through the dungeon and was frightened.
"I found it!" Zhong Mu found an iron box from his pile of props. When he opened the box, he saw a soft cloth inside. A blood-red heart was beating in the iron box, bright red and dazzling.
Mu He couldn't see, but he could feel it. He slowly reached out to touch the iron box and whispered, "It's really my heart. It's already here with you..."
"Yes!" Zhong Mu nodded, "I'll give it back to you now."
Mu He was stunned. "You want to return my heart to me?"
"This originally belonged to you, and since you helped me, I should return it to you." Zhong Mu stuffed the iron box into his arms with a righteous look on his face. "If you lost your heart, you would be very sad, right?"
The heart is bound to the player as a prop, and not only the pain is connected, but the emotions are also connected. Although they are strangers, he has to bear what the other party shares. He is reluctant to think about it.
The doctor held the heart that was easily stuffed into his arms in silence. It seemed so cheap that it was not even an SSS-level item. It was obviously what countless players had wanted before. Any player who knew that his heart could be turned into a top-level item would have had bad intentions, but now it was stuffed into his arms so easily.
"Are you sure you want to return this to me? SSS-level items are very important to players, right?
"Advanced props can help you pass many difficult copies and save your life, but I just lost a heart." Mu He was a little at a loss as he held the iron box in his arms.
I've never met such a player before, so I'm a little confused.
Zhong Mu waved his hand calmly, "It's not that important to me. The experience gained from completing dungeons and your reaction time are what's most important. Relying on items will only lead to your death faster. I'll give this back to you."
He said it lightly, as if Mu He had really just lost an ordinary thing, and Zhong Mu had kindly sent it to him.
At least in Mu He's cognition, once a player hears it, his heart can become an extremely useful prop. Almost all the voices that speak to him reveal greed that is difficult to conceal, but the person in front of him has a very flat tone and a clear, simple and pure voice.
After a moment of silence, Mu He slowly raised his gray eyes, "You want to... pretend you're not interested in my heart, gain my trust, and then take more from me? Just like Xiao Si did."
Zhong Mu was confused, "Who is Xiao Si?"
"The previous owner of this item."
"Oh!! That kid!" Zhong Mu immediately remembered the scarred kid he met in the hunting grounds dungeon, but he immediately frowned. "Is that how he treated you? He pretended to be uninterested, and then stole your heart?"
"Their methods are all similar. Robbery, deception, stealth. Countless people want to get this heart."
Mu He murmured, raising his eyes to look at the faint light in his sight, "You seem to be different from them."
