Fu Ziying stood up and slowly bowed to Eryi. Even though she was wearing several layers of clothing, her figure was still slender. Stars flickered in her beautiful eyes, hidden by her veil. She must be a beauty.
"I've heard the miracle doctor is skilled in the art of removing poisonous insects. I have a favor to ask of you." Fu Ziying pulled a banknote from beneath her layers of clothing. "This is my life savings."
Eryi refused to accept it. "Did you see those two boards by the gate when you entered? I, Eryi, keep my word and won't charge a cent for the Gu removal. But I see no Gu parasites on your body."
"You are worthy of being a miracle doctor." Fu Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, "To be honest, it wasn't me who was poisoned, it was my husband." Then, she slowly told the story.
A year ago, Fu Ziying's husband was seriously injured and dying. By chance, Fu Ziying discovered a method to implant a poisonous insect into her husband's body.
"That person said that as long as the Gu worm was implanted, it wouldn't take long for my husband to recover. At the time, I was so stunned I actually believed him." Fu Ziying took the tea Eryi had brewed, lifted a corner of her veil, and drank it all. "The day after the Gu worm was implanted, just as the person had said, my husband's injuries had healed completely. I was overjoyed."
"But after that, my husband rarely spoke and rarely slept at night. One night, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw him staring at me with his eyes wide open, not saying a word."
"I regret it. I know it's not him anymore."
After that, Fu Ziying tried many times to remove the poisonous insect, but to no avail. It wasn't until she visited a doctor that she learned that her husband's heart had already been eroded by the poisonous insect and was incurable. Removing the insect would kill her husband.
"I thought, 'I'll just kill him myself.' But he won't die." Fu Ziying's slightly trembling hands touched her cheeks. "My martial arts skills weren't as good as his to begin with, and no matter how badly injured he was, he'd always be alive the next day."
Fu Ziying went to seek help from the famous doctor to remove the poisonous insect, but the doctor was also unable to help. She had originally planned to take her husband to Yaowang Valley for treatment, but she passed through Liuyue City and heard the rumor, so she stayed there.
"I just beg the doctor to kill this humanoid Gu."
No doctor wants to see someone die in his hands.
008. In a situation like this, if the person has lost self-awareness, how should the system determine the so-called: host consent?
[Returning to the host, this situation is similar to an ownerless object, and the system can directly absorb it. It's just like if the host kills a zombie in the apocalypse and obtains a crystal core, they can take it away directly.]
Eryi thought that since he had the energy, he might as well take it, but he couldn't help but ask, "Doctors are not good at killing people. Why don't you hire a martial arts master to do it for you?"
"..." Fu Ziying's eyes were dim and she remained silent.
"I understand." Eryi stood up to see the guest off. "You can bring him here tomorrow morning."
…
After Fu Ziying left, Ling Lingba asked curiously, saying that he had become more and more thoughtful than before.
[Host, what did you understand just now? ]
"Want to know? Pay me 10,000 energy points."
008 hums and groans.
【Isn’t it because it’s free here? 】
“…”
Ignoring Ling Ling Ba, Er Yi retrieved the detoxification storage device returned by the Third Prince and began replenishing his skills. He had no idea what the Third Prince was using the storage device for, as it was depleting so quickly. But since he was willing to pay, he'd let him do it.
After charging the detoxification technique storage device to the (6/50) state, Eryi took out the Spring Breeze Technique storage device (C) he had purchased previously and injected the Spring Breeze Technique into it.
Spring Breeze Skill Storage Device (C): Can store up to 20 Spring Breeze Skills, the casting duration is 50% of the injected skill, the price is 3000 energy points.
The Spring Breeze Art Accumulator is the same as the Healing Art Accumulator in the Doomsday Plane, and is an item similar to a pocket watch. In the Martial Arts Plane, it is the same as the Detoxification Art Accumulator, and is an item similar to an incense burner.
After the storage is full, Eryi plans to rent it out by lottery. The deposit is 3,000 Healing Coins. Each use of Spring Breeze Technique costs 50 Healing Coins. An additional 5 Healing Coins will be charged for each day of rental.
The next morning, the two apprentices had not yet started work.
Fu Ziying brought her husband here. Before he even entered the house, Ling Lingba had already started analyzing the information on him and found that he was indeed infected with a poisonous insect.
Ning Cong [Acquired Warrior]
HP 89%/89% Fatigue 2/100
[Symbiotic Gu: With the consent of the subject, the system can directly absorb this substance and convert it into 6500 energy points.]
Just like Xiao Tianhua at that time, the [Symbiotic Gu] is in gray and cannot be opened for the time being.
Ning Cong was a tall, thin young man with a pale complexion. Unlike what Er Yi had imagined last night, he looked normal except for his pale complexion. He even supported Fu Ziying as he entered the room.
It seems that it is slightly different from what Fu Ziying described last night, and it is not such a inhumane thing.
I originally thought that if this was an ownerless Gu worm, I could just absorb it when it entered the system area. But apparently, this route has been blocked.
Fu Ziying patted Ning Chong's arm lightly, coughed twice, and said nothing.
Ning Chong was stunned for a while, then said, "Doctor, please take the thing out of my body." His voice was flat and without any fluctuations.
Fu Ziying was accompanying him and nodded slightly when she heard this.
Eryi checked the control panel again. The button for absorbing the insects was still gray. She calmly took out the tea set and brewed tea for them. "Please."
She stood up and said, "I need to make some preparations. Please wait here for a moment." Then she turned and went back to her room.
As soon as he closed the door, Eryi quickly leaned over the desk, opened his tablet, and climbed onto the forum.
A beautiful woman said her husband is a zombie and wants to kill him, but her husband can speak normally. What should I do? Waiting online.
Not many people can access the Internet now, but since other websites have not yet been built, the forum is still the only place for entertainment, and people will reply soon.
Gugu: High-level zombies can talk, can they get married? Why can't I?
Big Goose: It’s terrifying when you think about it
Fu Haotong: Apply for clearance, find a high-level psychic to escort you, and bring you to the laboratory for testing.
0.0: The boss of the research lab suddenly appeared upstairs, and his vest was a different color.
"Zero Eight, do you have any testing tools?"
[Host, the Plane Healing Station itself is a type of testing tool. What do you want to know?]
"Is Ning Cong a human?"
He has an independent will.
"What will happen if the Gu is taken away from him?"
[This is not a test question, and Linglingba cannot answer it.]
Eryi took a deep breath and walked back to the clinic.
…
Ever since discovering Ning Cong's abnormality, Fu Ziying has been unable to sleep or eat.
Although this humanoid Gu wasn't Ning Cong, its habits and movements were remarkably similar to Ning Cong's. This was also why Fu Ziying found it extremely difficult to attack him. Just now, upon seeing the humanoid Gu's words and actions, Divine Doctor Er's expression changed. He wondered if he'd been deceived by its appearance. What if he was unwilling to remove the Gu for this reason?
Now, she and Ning Chong were alone in the main hall. Fortunately, this humanoid Gu wasn't very intelligent. Besides being human-like, it believed everything and had no habit of actively harming others. This time, they had brought it to the clinic to tell it that it was poisoned and that the poison could be removed. Even such a simple lie could easily deceive it.
About a cup of tea later, Fu Ziying saw the miracle doctor Er walking out of the house and waving to her.
"Come here, I have something to tell you." Then he led her into the house.
"Did you know that your husband still has his own consciousness?"
Sure enough, Dr. Er was deceived.
"Dr. Er, you may not know this, but some poisonous insects, after infecting a person, will acquire the memories and habits of their original owner. I have lived with him for many years, and I am very aware of the changes he experienced a year ago. He is no longer human."
No normal person could sit with her calmly and live a normal life as if nothing had happened after she tried to kill him countless times.
"My sect requires that any Gu insect removal requires the host's consent. If he doesn't agree, I won't be able to remove this Gu."
"How come I have never heard of this method?"
Fu Ziying felt that the look in Doctor Er's eyes when he looked at her was a little strange, as if he didn't believe what she said, so she made up some excuses to refuse.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door gently from outside.
"Doctor Er, Ziying, I'm Ning Chong. I have something I want to talk to Doctor Er about privately."
…
Fu Ziying didn't know what Ning Cong and Doctor Er talked about in the house. She only knew that after the conversation, Doctor Er led Ning Cong into a room and then called her into another room.
"Divine doctor, what's this?" Fu Ziying opened her watery eyes wide and looked at the gentle woman in front of her, not quite understanding what she meant.
Eryi took a few steps closer to Fu Ziying.
"I will remove the poison, but first." Eryi stretched out his hand and took off the veil she was wearing: "I have to cure you first."
Fu Ziying covered her face and screamed, then squatted down.
There was not a single part of the face beneath the veil that was intact.
