Chapter 34 Is He Really Dead?!
Pei Ji's words frightened Ji Shenxue so much that he even dropped the medicine in his hand and shattered it. He hurriedly asked, "I'm at the hospital. Are you sure Bai Guo's pulse, heartbeat, and breathing have stopped right now? What about his temperature?"
"Body temperature..." Peiji paused, and placed the back of her hand against Baiguo's face. The icy coldness made her withdraw her hand. "Her body temperature is like a corpse in an ice storage, very cold, but she's still soft. It's probably because she just died and hasn't started to stiffen yet, right?"
"Turn on the video, I'll see if I can save him."
Pei Ji opened the video as he was told. Bai Guo was lying in his arms without any sign of life. He exuded a deathly aura and looked as if he had been dead for a long time.
Ji Shenxue observed Bai Guo's "corpse" for a long time, so long that Pei Ji became desperate.
"Can she... still be saved?"
Pei Ji's mood at this time was very complicated. At the beginning, he really hated this daughter who came out of nowhere and was very willful. It was undeniable that she was willful, but she was also very sensible sometimes, and she would repay kindness and correct her mistakes, except that she was very stubborn on the branches.
Of course, it is undeniable that she is also very sharp-tongued and often leaves him unable to refute.
He hated the fact that she was not a well-behaved and sensible child, and was very different from what he had imagined her to be. However, he had never really thought of killing her. At most, he just didn't want to see her and felt that she came with a purpose.
Now this child who seemed to have come with a purpose died in his arms, and he didn't know what expression to make.
It's sad, but not that bad, after all, their feelings are not deep. It's a bit regretful, because he hasn't found out where she came from and what specific conspiracy she has.
Pei Ji reached out and gently stroked Bai Guo's face with his palm. Except when sleeping and now, he had never seen this cub so quiet and well-behaved. Her quietness reminded him of her infuriating appearance, which was still more vivid that way.
"Master, I really can't tell the specific cause of her death. You should bring her here and have her examined thoroughly with the machine."
Peiji hummed expressionlessly and hung up. The warmth in her palm grew colder and colder. Was she starting to stiffen? Why did the journey to the hospital seem so long today?
Just as he was about to speed up the hovercraft, Pei Ji looked up and found that the hovercraft was not heading towards the hospital.
Who was it? How dare they hack into his hovercraft? Pei Ji was undoubtedly furious. Who was always trying to pick on him? What if, because of his delay, he missed the chance to save Bai Guo? If he knew that Bai Guo had died because of a slight delay, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Even though he knew that Bai Guo's increasingly cold body temperature proved he could not be saved and that dead was dead, what if? Wasn't he almost dead at the beginning?
Pei Ji put down the white fruit, sat in the driver's seat, turned off the automatic driving, and changed the direction again. What if, what if there is a miracle?
"Go to the top floor of the research institute. There's what Bai Guo needs."
The mechanical voice of the main brain came from Baiguo's light brain.
Pei Ji, who was controlling the hover car at lightning speed, slowly turned his head and said, "Bai Guo is not dead?" His voice was nervous and carried a hint of joy. He didn't know where this joy came from. He should feel happy or relaxed if Bai Guo was dead.
"She's not dead. This is her body's protective mechanism kicking in."
"How do you know?!" This sentence sparked a lot of questions for Pei Ji.
"What exactly is Bai Guo? Is he really not a human?"
The Mastermind responded to Page's question with silence.
"Speak up! Why is it that when her body's protective mechanism activates, she's like dead? Why does she possess the genes of four people at once? Where did she come from? Why is she so obsessed with those scorched, lightning-struck branches?"
"Didn't she tell you that those branches were her life?"
The mastermind seemed to have said everything, yet it also seemed to have said nothing.
Peiji changed course and decided to trust the Mastermind. After all, it was the first time he'd noticed a mechanical voice possessing human emotions. It wasn't obvious, but it was incredibly unusual, wasn't it? Furthermore, the Mastermind was protecting Baiguo and knew what she needed right now, so there was no reason to harm her.
"What is your purpose?"
After thinking about it, Pei Ji finally asked.
"There's no purpose. You can think of her as someone who's here to collect your debt. After all, you owe her..."
The mastermind shut up again at this point and refused to answer any questions from Ren Peiji.
"What do I owe her? My family is big and my business is so big, why do I need to owe her any debt?" Pei Ji's voice was very excited.
"We're here. Take Baiguo and take the suspended elevator to the top floor. Someone will meet you there and tell you what to do."
The mastermind escaped after giving his last words.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the main brain, Pei Ji could only suppress the long list of questions in his heart temporarily and rushed into the most authoritative scientific research institute on the main planet with Bai Guo in his arms.
A passing researcher glanced at him curiously and was about to reach out to stop him when she received a message from her computer. She glanced at it and reminded the confused Page, "The elevator to the top floor is on the far left."
Pei Ji didn't even have time to say thank you before he quickly stepped onto the suspended ladder. At this moment, Bai Guo in his arms was like an ice cube. Holding her was like holding a big ice cube. The coldness penetrated his whole body, causing him to shiver.
Soon, Pei Ji arrived at the top floor. An elderly lady was standing in front of the floating elevator. He knew this person. She was the former director of the research institute who had won numerous scientific research awards. She was also the one who brought him life-saving medicine and saved his life when he was on the verge of death. Has a miracle happened again?
Hope ignited in Peggy's heart.
The former dean smiled kindly and stretched out his hand to take the ginkgo, but Pei Ji dodged it subconsciously.
Peiji also realized that she had overreacted and explained awkwardly, "I just hold it. This cub is too heavy..."
The former dean didn't care. Instead, he was pleased with Peiji's protective behavior. "You've grown up." Then he changed the subject and explained why she was there. "I'm the one the Mastermind sent to pick you up."
Peggy looked at this savior with an inquiring gaze.
"Come with me." The former dean walked ahead, leading the way, ignoring Peggy's inquiring gaze. "After the injection of the potion, she will sleep for a day. When she wakes up, you can prepare high-quality nutrients or plenty of food for her. But I think this little cub prefers delicious food."
The former dean asked Pei Ji to place Bai Guo on the bed, then took out the medicine that had been prepared long ago and injected Bai Guo with it. "Do you have a lot of questions in your mind now? And you don't know where to start?"
Pei Ji nodded silently and covered Bai Guo with a blanket after the injection. "Dean, can you answer my question?"
