Truth and Rebirth
You Chengze knew the doubts in Chu Li's heart. He lowered the hand that was stroking Chu Li and held on to his last bit of consciousness.
The blood-stained lips opened slightly: "There is one more thing, I think you also have the right to know."
Chu Li's gaze fell on the man, and at that moment, the talkative girl fell silent for the first time in a long time.
Ultimately, she didn't want to listen to You Chengze's final words. Subconsciously, she thought he should complete the mission with her, win the championship, and finally live a life of retirement.
But the man was cruel. He did not stop talking, but said something even more unexpected.
"Actually, I was reborn. In my previous life, I also suffered from the same illness and died. In this life, I am luckier. I met you. You helped me prolong my short life. You are not the only exception after my rebirth."
"Besides that, I seem to have a strange thing on me. It often rings in my mind. It seems to be called the European Emperor System. Whoever gets close to me will have good luck."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something else, his smile widening as he continued, "The system told me that you, like me, are also chosen by the system. I didn't quite understand it at first, until you were able to summon your spirit pet every time you were in danger, and my health points dropped every time I was in danger, then I suddenly understood what the system meant."
You Chengze knew from the beginning what system Chu Li was bound to, and he also knew that as long as Chu Li drew a card, his health would be depleted faster.
He did not stop it, nor did he even reveal a single detail about the system he was bound to.
He thought that it would be great if he could bring good luck to others, especially Chu Li.
After hearing this, Chu Li's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes, filled with shock and surprise, stared blankly at one place.
European Emperor System, Rebirth...
These things, which should only appear in mysterious novels, actually happened around me.
Just like her life and death traveling to this alien continent, it was absurd yet reasonable.
No wonder he can always draw the card he wants. It turns out that it is the luck brought by You Chengze's consumption of life points.
She is the indirect murderer.
"Chu Li, stop imagining this. I've already said that my disease can't be cured. I'll die sooner or later. Helping you is something I'm willing to do." After he finished speaking, his brows suddenly furrowed again, his chest heaving violently, and he looked extremely painful. His big hands tightly grasped the fabric on his body, but when he met Chu Li's gaze, he smiled and continued to comfort her, "In the future, even without my help, you will also..."
Cough cough——
A dull cough interrupted his unfinished words.
Chu Li looked in the direction of the voice. Just as he calmed the person down, the person who had just spoken had closed his eyes. His raised hand drooped as if it had lost its strength, and only the blood was still flowing down the corner of his mouth.
In a flash, Chu Li felt her head filled with a buzzing sound, and the tears that had just been wiped away by the man burst out again.
She shed silent tears, but her hands never stopped moving. Sometimes she wiped the blood gushing out with the corner of her clean clothes, and sometimes she began to press his chest to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
However, it was not until she bent her red finger slightly and stretched it to the tip of You Chengze's nose and did not detect any breath that she reacted a little too slowly to realize what had happened.
The person who was just confessing to me is no longer alive.
She felt that this was a dream, a joke, that this person was lying to her, how could this person die?
"You Chengze! Don't scare me... You just fell asleep, right?" Chu Li cried with a trembling voice.
The person who did not receive a response felt cold in her heart. The past days were like a movie playing frame by frame in her mind, but all this seemed to remind him that You Cheng had really left.
"We haven't collected the seals yet, and haven't won the championship yet, why are you abandoning me first? I have already planned what we should do in the future, why can't you wait a little longer?"
"You Chengze, wake up quickly. I won't be angry with you or argue with you anymore. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat and I won't stop you from doing anything you want. I'll also give you a spiritual pet if you want one. Wake up, okay...?"
After Chu Li finished speaking, she realized that this person would no longer respond, so she suddenly exerted force and hugged the person in her arms.
She shed tears in pain, clutching the clothes on You Chengze's back tightly with both hands, as if only in this way could she vent the sorrow and despair in her heart.
"You can be reborn, right? You will be reborn again, right? When the time comes, I will find the best doctor for you. No matter how much I have to spend, I will save you..."
Chu Li held You Chengze's body and murmured, her eyes dull and her heart panicking. She knew that all this would never happen again, and even if it did, You Chengze would not remember her.
Chu Li's heart ached when he thought that this person might become a stranger to him again.
"...No, this can't be. You're the first person I met here, and the most important person to me. My spirit pets can't live without you. You promised to do chores for me and take good care of my spirit pets. You can't die..." Chu Li spoke intermittently. A flash of inspiration passed through his mind, and his lifeless eyes were replaced by vitality. "I still have the system... It can save you."
Chu Li finally thought of the card drawing system, and she immediately called out it.
They are part of the setup of this world, and there must be a way to allow this person to come through unharmed.
[Dear players, welcome back to the card drawing interface.]
Chu Li heard the cold, mechanical voice and said without hesitation, "I want to save people!"
【……】
"Say something! You are a system, a part of this world, you must have a way to save him!" Chu Li stared at the purple vortex that was overflowing layer by layer without saying a word, and his patience was instantly gone.
She yelled at the system.
However, the system fell silent again after a long time.
"Are you going to remain silent? This is a life, I have to save him! Didn't you have a reset button before? I want to reset it, reset it back to the starting point!!" Chu Li said, pointing at the interface.
【The reset option has expired. 】
A few words are great.
Chu Li couldn't help but tremble: "No... He shouldn't have ended like this. Good system... Can you help me find another way? He is very important to me, please."
On the purple interface, ripples appeared between the whirlpools.
During the more than ten minutes of silence, Chu Li's eyes never left the lit screen.
She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong, nor did she have much chance of success. But her instinct told her that she had to save this man.
It took a long time, so long that Chu Li's movements of holding the corpse became a little stiff, before the vortex on the purple surface stopped.
The next moment, Chu Li saw a line of words on the screen -
[It is detected that You Chengze and Fang are both system bound. The solution given is as follows:
Use the collected town cards to exchange with the system and draw out super healing pets.
Currently, there are 6 stamps collected and 4 stamps left to be collected. Has the player decided to redeem them?
After seeing the solution given by the system, Chu Li's anxious and restless heart calmed down a little.
At least, during these ten quiet minutes, the system found a solution.
Would I trade all the seals I've collected for You Chengze's life? It's worth it.
She participated in the Spirit Pet Ambassador competition just to buy good clothes for the furry pets, but the world is so big that there is always a way to make a living. Even if she didn't win the championship, she could still buy clothes for them.
As for You Chengze, if he really gave up, it would be a lifelong thing.
Chu Li thought very clearly. She wanted to save people. As for all these vague and mysterious things, none of them were more important than a life.
She came back to her senses, raised her head, and said to the system: "I will exchange it."
Decisive and without any hesitation.
As soon as the words fell, the six seals in Chu Li's bag flew into the air, and purple flames instantly engulfed the entire seal. In the blink of an eye, the six seals were reduced to ashes.
【Congratulations to the players, the stamp redemption was successful! 】
[Congratulations to the players! The card drawing system has been upgraded! ]
…
Looking at the news that popped up one after another, Chu Li's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
It succeeded, You Chengze was saved, now it depends on whether she can draw a good card.
Chu Li took a deep breath, looked at the card drawing interface with a firm gaze, and said the word "draw card" loudly.
She knew that this time no one would help her draw a rare card, but she still wanted to try.
If it doesn’t work once, try again. If it doesn’t work every time, try again and again.
The card draw system itself didn't limit the number of draws; it only consumed the energy of the drawer. Chu Li wasn't afraid of that; at worst, she could just rest for a while. This time, she had to draw a super healing card.
As Chu Li was thinking, the card drawing interface started to rotate automatically.
Half a second later, another line of words appeared.
Chu Li took a quick look and frowned again. If he didn’t get it, he would continue.
Half an hour later, Chu Li and the card drawing system were in a fierce battle. She was sweating all over, and the clothes covering her were already soaked with sweat.
But she didn't back down and continued to draw cards.
It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, scorching hot. Chu Li wiped the sweat off his face and forced himself to continue drawing cards.
Until she was almost exhausted, she finally heard the card drawing system say -
[Congratulations to the player, you have obtained a Super Healing Card Maine Coon Cat, which has unlocked the superpower of curing all diseases!]
Great, I got it!
Chu Li was secretly delighted, with a slight smile on his face. He looked at the Maine Coon cat falling towards him, and his mood improved a lot.
This Maine Coon cat has a very handsome appearance and just nodded when it looked at Chu Li.
It walked slowly to You Chengze's side, its eyes moved for a long time, its ears moved slightly, and the light color fell instantly.
Chu Li was stunned for a long time before he realized that this kitten was small in size but extremely powerful. Although it was small, it used its skills on different targets, including Chu Li himself.
She curled her lips and looked at You Chengze's body. Enveloped in a pale green light, the blood on You Chengze's body instantly crusted over, then vanished in a breeze. His face gradually became full of life, and his lips gradually became rosy.
Suddenly, the man frowned, opened his lips slightly, and coughed from his throat.
Subconsciously, Chu Li grabbed You Chengze's hand, the joy in his eyes was unbearable.
Great, it works!
You Chengze woke up, You Chengze really... woke up.
Chu Li had just finished her sigh when she felt a buzzing in her ears and a jolt of electricity running through her mind. She subconsciously shook her head, but the world spun around her. She instantly lost all strength and fell forward, plunging into darkness.
