Chapter 28 Kitten
——Long-lasting joy and happiness.
After hearing Yin Jiu's name from before, the system figured it out: "So that's why you said Ning Changyue's name is very similar to yours."
No matter what their current circumstances are, at least in the beginning, they were born with the best blessings of their parents.
Yin Jiu did not comment on this, but urged: "Since you have made up your mind, start quickly."
The system said: "What's the hurry?"
It said with a little pride: "Although I have decided to help you, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Before, I was the one begging you to do the task, but now, you are begging me, so you don't think that you don't have to pay anything, right? What if you cheat me again?"
Yin Jiu asked faintly: "Aren't we friends?"
"Friends shouldn't take advantage of friends, right?" The system put forward its own requirements: "I don't have any other requirements. If you can complete the task, everyone will be happy. If you can't complete the task, your merits will belong to me."
Merit?
With a thought in his mind, Yin Jiu roughly understood why the world consciousness could not wipe him out. It turned out that it was not because he was an invader from the small world, but because he had merits. This made sense.
Therefore, merit is a golden ticket to immunity from death for him, and losing merit is equivalent to losing the last chance of life.
Yin Jiu said: "If I don't agree, you won't help me?"
The system affirmed: "Of course, helping you will require me to consume a lot of energy, so you have to show me your determination. Besides, I won't just take it away. All of this is based on the premise that you fail."
Finally, the system kindly said, "Think about it carefully."
Yin Jiu didn't think about it for too long and agreed: "Okay, I agree. If I fail, my merit will be given to you."
"A wise choice." The system said happily: "Then let's sign the contract now. Within three months..."
"Wait a minute, isn't three months a bit too hasty?" Yin Jiu felt that the system was completely exploiting him. The system usually looked stupid, but today it was too smart and even knew how to refine the contract.
The system didn't care what he thought, and continued, "Within three months, I want to see the plot complete to 60%, and within three years, to 100%. Isn't that too much?"
Although 60% in three months is a bit harsh, the total time is three years, which is considered ample time.
Yin Jiu couldn't find any fault with it. "Okay, what else do you want?"
System: "One last request. I need you to bind a target before I let you go back to the small world. It's not for any other reason, but I'm just curious about who you will choose. After all, if I wait for you to return, I will probably fall into hibernation due to lack of energy."
He said there was no other reason, but in the end he still couldn't trust Yin Jiu.
Yin Jiu also knew this and fell silent.
Because this is really something he needs to consider carefully.
The system did not rush him and began to restore the operation of the small world.
Pieces of the world's fragments were pieced together, then slowly expanded outward, eventually forming a huge plane with no end in sight.
It was a very shocking scene, but Yin Jiu was so immersed in his own thoughts that he had no intention of appreciating it.
As the fragments were put together, the people and objects in the mirror resumed functioning.
…
The rain began to fall again.
The boy in the rain staggered, looked up for a few seconds, and then ran away in the opposite direction.
On the sidewalk ahead, an unconscious man lay.
Out of consideration from all sides, some people stopped and did not move forward for a while.
Until the young man stumbled over and knelt in front of the man.
He reached out and pushed it, his usually expressionless face now filled with panic and confusion.
The people who were there seemed to be awakened. They came over and started talking to each other. Soon, they came up with a plan. They helped the man up and then stopped a car. The driver happened to be a teacher at the school and he immediately decided to send the man to the hospital.
They were so powerful that the crowd quickly dispersed. After all, there was nothing exciting to see and it was raining.
There was only a young boy standing there stupidly.
Ning Changyue was the first one to run to Yin Jiu's side, but now he was the one who was left behind.
This boy, who had a somewhat strange temperament and didn't seem very smart, looked even more dull at this moment.
It was as if I had received a huge blow. I was dazed and dazed, everything was slow, and I was left out.
He stood in the rain for a long time until a thunder roared, and he finally came to his senses and ran out of the school.
He took a taxi and headed for the Third Hospital near the school. He vaguely heard the people just now say that they would send Yin Jiu there.
Because he was wet, he waited for a long time before a driver was willing to stop. Even after he stopped, the driver was still a little reluctant and complained, demanding extra cleaning fees.
Ning Changyue did not argue and agreed.
When he arrived at the hospital, Ning Changyue went to the outpatient department to ask if there was a fainted man sent there. The front desk nurse in the outpatient department said no and asked him to go to the emergency room.
The emergency room was in another building. He groped his way there and got confirmed information. However, Yin Jiu was no longer there. He had been sent to the CT room.
But when Ning Changyue arrived at the CT room, he was told that he had been sent to the inpatient department.
Of course, doctors would not just tell anyone the patient's information. They would simply ask a few questions. When asked for the first time, "What is your relationship with the patient?", Ning Changyue was at a loss for a moment. It was only when the doctor asked, "Are you his family member?" that he hesitantly replied, "Yes, I am his family member."
After that, he learned everything by himself. Before asking a question, he would first say, "Hello, I am Yin Jiu's family member. May I ask..."
He stiffly repeated the same words, asking one person after another, and what he said today was roughly the sum of what he said in the previous year.
When he finally found Yin Jiu, Yin Jiu had already settled down in the inpatient department.
Of course the hospital couldn't find the cause of the disease, because Yin Jiu himself was not sick, so after a series of examinations, they found no cause. In the end, they could only keep him in the hospital for observation. If he didn't wake up naturally after twelve hours, more in-depth examinations would be conducted.
He lay quietly on the bed in a hospital gown, with an ECG monitor data cable connected to his body. He looked like a critically ill patient.
Ning Changyue stopped outside the ward.
There was only one teacher accompanying him in the ward, and he was a little distressed at the moment, as this incident happened on his way home from get off work, and he couldn't contact Yin Jiu's family.
Out of teacher ethics, he couldn't just walk away like that. The school also wanted him to accompany his child. After all, he fainted at school, and the school also had concerns.
So when Ning Changyue stood outside the door and stared at Yin Jiu for a long time without leaving, he asked with some expectation, "Little classmate, are you looking for someone?"
Ning Changyue walked in, pursed her lips, and said, "Hello, I am Yin Jiu's family member."
The teacher didn't ask how the other party found him. Seeing that he was young, the teacher automatically assumed his identity and asked, "You are my younger brother, right?"
Ning Changyue nodded silently.
"I'm glad you're here. I'll tell you about the situation." The teacher told the doctor's diagnosis and said comfortingly, "The current examination results show nothing abnormal. The doctor can only guess that it's due to being too tired or psychological factors. Anyway, observe him for one night and do a more in-depth examination if he doesn't wake up tomorrow."
"It's getting late now, I'm going home first. I'll leave you my phone number. Call me if you need anything. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Ning Changyue said, "Okay, thank you."
The teacher was about to leave, but still a little worried, so he turned around and said, "Little classmate, why don't you call Yin Jiu? I'm a little worried and want to confirm your identity."
In fact, the teacher had just tried to unlock Yin Jiu's phone to contact relatives, but Yin Jiu's phone was not fingerprint locked.
Ning Changyue did not raise any objection to the teacher's questioning. After a moment of hesitation, he took out his cell phone and dialed Yin Jiu's number.
The name in the note only contains an ambiguous "he".
Soon, Yin Jiu's cell phone, which was placed on the bedside, rang. The teacher picked it up, took a look, and then fell silent.
Caller: Kitty.
The teacher put down his phone and looked at Ning Changyue awkwardly, realizing that he might have misunderstood something. But since he was a real "family member", he felt relieved. He told him that it would be better to notify the adults in Yin Jiu's family, and then hurried home.
The ward was quiet for a moment.
Ning Changyue stood stupidly at the end of the bed, his body was still half wet, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or rain at the end of his hair, dripping into his collar along the tips of his hair. He was like a wet cat, and his eyes showed the panic of a person who had nowhere to go.
There was a funny little pompadour tied to the top of his head with a cheap rubber band.
It looks really silly.
Yin Jiu said this in his heart.
