Chapter 202: Reality Vortex
The light of the phone screen flickered.
Shi Yu took off her hospital gown, changed into her own clothes, and went to the nurses' station to go through the discharge procedures.
When I returned to the ward, the attending doctor came to me with some news from nowhere: "Actually, I still don't recommend that you be discharged so early."
Not only was he not suggesting that his patient should be discharged from the hospital, he didn't even recommend that he get out of bed right now.
Shi Yu said nothing, and packed up all the things that could prove that he had lived here into his bag.
The attending doctor knew that he would not listen to his advice: "Go home and take care of your health. Is there anyone to pick you up?"
Shi Yu said "hmm".
The doctor felt relieved and walked him to the elevator. "Although it's a bit rude, I still hope I don't see you in places like this in the future."
It's a hospital after all.
Shi Yu said goodbye to him and left the hospital, but instead of waiting for someone to pick her up as she had just responded, she got directly into the taxi she had called.
The driver asked, "What's the last digit of your phone number?"
Shi Yu reported a string of numbers.
The driver started the car and drove away from the hospital.

"Goodbye, Teacher Zhou."
The female teacher stood at the door of the classroom and smiled: "Goodbye Zhihe, and have a happy summer vacation."
Xiao Guangtuan went downstairs holding the report card and saw the Dream Chooser by the flower bed: "Master is not here?"
Xuan Xing said in a calm voice: "The master is ill, and you still expect him to make a special trip for you? What if his condition worsens?"
Xiao Guangtuan was just asking casually, but he just couldn't get used to his way of speaking: "Unfortunately, he doesn't want you to stay by his side and serve him, so he specially sent you to pick me up."
It's just weird, everyone would be the same.
The two walked side by side but were like strangers, and always ignored each other.
After Xuan Xing picked up Xiao Guangtuan, he did not return to the apartment. Instead, he took Xiao Luobutou directly to the hospital and happened to run into the logistics staff changing the bed sheets in the ward.
He paused, but the little light ball couldn't hold back his anger: "What are you doing here?"
"Cleaning." The cleaning lady looked up. "Are you here to visit a patient in the hospital? You must have come to the wrong place. No one lives here."
Xuan Xing pushed the small ball of light back: "But I remember there was a patient living here yesterday."
"Of course there was someone there yesterday." The cleaner put down the mop and put on a new garbage bag. "He was just discharged from the hospital today."
Discharged from hospital?
"Why are you here to see him?" The cleaner put the garbage bag into the car, "He packed up and left a long time ago."
Xuan Xing asked, "Where did he go?"
"How should I know that?" The cleaning lady was so busy that she didn't even look up. "Since he's been discharged from the hospital, he must have gone home."
There was no need to ask the rest. Xuan Xing pulled the small ball of light and left the corridor directly.
Xiao Guangtuan felt uneasy: "Why did the master leave the hospital? Didn't he say he would stay for at least ten days or half a month?"
Xuan Xing said nothing, but his feet moved quickly.
Xiao Guangtuan almost ran to catch up with him: "Who handled the discharge procedures? Didn't they know that he couldn't leave the hospital now? The errand boy or Lawyer Wen? Or - eh!"
Xuan Xing picked him up and carried him into the elevator: "If it was anyone else, there would be no way they could have discharged him at this time. It could only be him."
Xiao Guangtuan landed on the ground. The feeling of weightlessness as the elevator went down grabbed his heart. He suddenly had difficulty breathing: "Why?"
Xuan Xing asked, "Is the system update today?"
Xiao Guangtuan's face changed.
The elevator stopped on the first floor and the door opened.
Xiao Guangtuan didn't have a cell phone, but Xuan Xing did. He kept calling the other party, but no one answered, so he sent messages instead.
"Where will he go?"
Xuan Xing: "Apartment in the community."
Xiao Guangtuan didn't understand the logic behind it.
"Only if the surveillance camera shows that the last place he was at was his own home, no one would suspect that he was missing."
With the development of the world, genetic chains have been included in criminal investigation methods. It is too difficult to disappear silently in the crowd, not to mention that time is limited.
Xuan Xing listened to the notification tone coming from the phone: "He turned off the phone."
There were many people coming and going outside the hospital.
The two tried to stop a car several times but were beaten by people who were closer. As half-mortal idiots, they only knew about national affairs from the daily news, and the concept of calling a car with a mobile phone was not yet formed in their minds. They walked to a less crowded place and finally waited for an empty car. They directly reported their destination: "To Tianshui Lanwan."
The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding.
Xuan Xing took out a compass.
The little ball of light closely watched his movements: "What did you calculate?"
Xuan Xing shook his head: "I can't see it."
Xiao Guangtuan was puzzled.
"I can't see his destiny line." Xuan Xing took the compass back.
Xiao Guangtuan was bewildered: "Can't you see through the secrets of heaven?"
"If I had such great abilities, would I still be here?"
The entire world of gods knows about the Feng Shui of the God of Dream Selection, but few people know that he is simply born more sensitive to the rise and fall of fortune than other gods. His occasional intuition is the result of the influence of the fortune changes of the gods around him. If someone's fortune suddenly drops, he can see scenes of financial loss, and if someone's fortune rises, he can see scenes of disaster elimination.
The explanation from the divine world is "the five senses working together", and in worldly terms it is called "a flash of inspiration".
As for active calculations, what is actually calculated is the luck of the other person. If the luck is high enough, there is a high probability that one will be safe and sound even if he is destined to suffer a disaster.
"Your Excellency's past fortune is the best I have ever seen in my life."
The little light ball asked subconsciously: "What about now?"
Xuan Xing lowered his eyes and glanced at him.
Xiao Guangtuan didn't hear the answer, but he inexplicably remembered the lowest-grade item that the other party always got when he opened the treasure chest in the player space before.
"But I have never seen a future in front of him, either in the past or now."
The little light ball was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "If the Lord's luck in the past was really that high, then why did he lose to Fuye God?"
Xuan Xing looked out the window: "I don't know."
※
Shi Yu closed the door of the apartment.
The room was tidy, the curtains were tied neatly on both sides, and the glass facing the sun let in bright sunlight.
He put his things down and glanced at his vibrating phone.
There are not only missed calls, but also a floating box with new messages constantly coming in.
He didn't look at it any further, turned off his phone, and took out a pen and paper to draw.
The minute hand of the wall clock turned half a circle, and the door of the apartment was suddenly pushed open.
When Shi Yu walked out of the room, he saw someone running up to him and grabbing his arm tightly: "Choosing a dream?"
Xuan Xing exhaled slowly: "Why are you discharged from the hospital today? The doctor said that you are not fully recovered yet."
The little ball of light ran in after him, his face clearly relaxed, and his light returned to normal.
Shi Yu looked at him, then turned his gaze back to the Dream Selector: "I don't like hospitals."
"Why?"
"The corridor smells too much of medicine."
Xuan Xing paused, then carefully released his hand: "Then why didn't you answer the phone? Was there something wrong just now?"
Shi Yu glanced at the coffee table. The phone was still plugged in and lying quietly on the table. "I was just in the room."
Naturally, you can't hear it when your phone is charging outside.
"What's wrong?"
Xuan Xing looked him up and down but didn't find anything wrong with his condition. He was silent for a while: "Nothing, you have a good rest, I'll go prepare lunch."
He said and turned around.
But at this moment, a slight sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded behind his head.
He was completely unprepared for the person behind him and had no time to react at all, as the other person's palm directly hit the back of his neck.
Xuan Xing’s eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
Shi Yu reached out and put the other person on the sofa. Just as he was about to go back to his room, Xiao Guangtuan reacted from his astonishment and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Sir."
He lowered his head and glanced at Little Radish Head.
Xiao Guangtuan shouted tremblingly: "Don't knock me out!"
Shi Yu put his hand down.
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to your room."
Xiao Guangtuan didn't know how to beat around the bush, so he asked directly, "Is it because today is the day the system update is completed?"
Shi Yu said nothing.
Xiao Guangtuan felt cold at his gaze: "What do you want to do after coming back? Do you want to disappear from this world without telling anyone?"
Shi Yu still didn't speak.
"We still don't know what will happen with this system update, so why should we assume the worst?" The little light ball stared at him without blinking. "Maybe, maybe they haven't figured out a way to build new rules within the system at all?"
Shi Yu looked at him: "Do you think it's possible?"
The little ball of light pursed her lips.
"Since he can't let me live, and I can't beat him now, it's better to come back earlier than disappearing from the hospital. At least I won't have to file another missing person case for no reason at the Public Security Bureau." Shi Yu's voice was calm, "It will also cause less trouble for others."
Xiao Guangtuan stared at him blankly and said in a hoarse voice: "But you will die."
Shi Yu wanted to withdraw his hand, but the other party tightened his grip as if by reflex.
A drop of clear water suddenly fell down, like a silent heavy rain in the room.
Xiao Guangtuan's eyes were moist and red: "What should I do after you leave?"
Shi Yu wanted to say that there was a place for him in the mortal world, and he also wanted to say that after he was gone, the restrictions on the other party would definitely be lifted and his divine power and divine status would be restored. It would be up to him whether he wanted to continue working in the system or return to the divine world.
Xiao Guangtuan turned his hand over with his palm facing up first: "Sir."
Suddenly something was stuffed into my hand.
Shi Yu looked down and saw a white report card, which was cut into long strips because it was going to be distributed to students in the entire class.
"My test results are out, and the teacher said I can continue to attend the third grade with the class."
Xiao Guangtuan said: "My parents in the God Realm tore up the couple contract when I just started school."
Shi Yu looked at him.
"They were what the world often calls an 'arranged marriage'. They both found 'true love' at about the same time after becoming a couple. They went to the Hall of Justice and hired many people to tell the truth. They wanted to get more money and also wanted me to be raised by the other party. They both believed that I was born because they were oppressed by their elders' status, and they would not allow a 'child born out of wedlock' to stand between them and their true love."
Xiao Guangtuan's eyes were red. "Dad won, and he left me to mom. But mom didn't want me either, so she left me at her parents' house, my grandparents. The year I graduated, my grandparents also left me and never came back."
"I will be obedient, eat less and do more work every day, and go to school well. My Chinese grades are not very good, but the teacher praised my math and said that I have one strong point, which is enough for me to take root in school."
Xiao Guangtuan held his wrists with both hands, his eyes were wet, and his voice was filled with pleading tears: "Please don't leave, okay?"
Shi Yu was silent for a while, then placed his other hand on the child's head and slowly moved it down.
At that instant, he suddenly chopped the opponent on the back of the neck.
The small ball of light froze again for a moment, and fell down the next second.
There was no special expression on Shi Yu's face. He carried the child to the sofa, turned back to the room, tore off a piece of paper covered with symbols, and walked out again.
The white paper moved with the wind and suddenly caught fire without any fire.
Shi Yu closed his eyes gently.
His guess was correct. The reason why players are not affected by their real physical condition when they are in the personal space and the player lobby is because these two places are created by the system themselves. Players enter with only their souls, so their real bodies are still there, and no one will notice that someone has disappeared for no reason during the game.
But unlike the players, the system administrators Xiaoguangtuan and Xuanxing both enter and exit the divine realm physically.
He could break the barrier and allow the two of them to come to the mortal world from the player space, and naturally he could also allow his body to enter the player space along with his soul.
The scene before my eyes was turned upside down, and a familiar darkness overwhelmed me.
Shi Yu stood alone in his own player space.
The small light group usually did not avoid him during operations, so he found the system administrator's light screen without much effort and closed the channel between the player space and reality.
A message suddenly popped up:
[System update completed, the application will be automatically restarted]
The surroundings were quiet for about half a minute, and then the darkness was suddenly torn apart. One, two, three, countless silver points of light gathered on the ground into a torrent, forming a vortex that rotated at high speed.
Shi Yu stood in front of the vortex passage and jumped down.
