Can we have a normal patient?
The star disk that had been running quietly suddenly made a loud noise. Xie Qi and Pandora looked over at the sound and saw that the entire star disk was disrupted, and the star tracks were constantly shifting. Stars appeared from nowhere and surrounded an inconspicuous planet in the corner, forming an opposition with the other planets in an instant.
Even though there was no violent collision, Xie Qi could sense the tense and murderous aura within the star chart.
Xie Qi had not yet fully comprehended the mysteries of the horoscope, but his heart instinctively trembled, and he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Pandora looked straight at it and then looked away. "If you are any later, it will be too late."
"What do you mean?" Xie Qi stared at Pandora closely, as if he could see something hidden in his expression.
Pandora said, "I do want your godhood. You gave me this opportunity many years ago when you stripped the star disk away and gave it to me... Of course I want to become a god, and I'm greedy, but your godhood is... Tsk."
Pandora was particularly annoyed by the muted words and glared at the sky. "He's going to be dealt with soon anyway, so what's there to hide? If you really want to protect him, why not just drive behind him? Doing things like taking off your pants and farting makes people think you're so stupid."
Xie Qi also looked up at the sky and felt that the clouds on the horizon were arranged like a string of ellipsis.
"Is it what I think?" Is Pandora talking to the laws of nature?
Pandora didn't answer the obvious question, but instead said in a dismal tone, "Your godhood attributes are incompatible with mine. All these years have only delayed my dissipation."
"The person who really wants it must be by your side, but it has never been me." Pandora said.
Xie Qi vaguely grasped something, and the voice of the laws of heaven that suddenly sounded in the sky confirmed his guess.
[Individual named Yan Xizhao requested to obtain the qualification for the divine battle. It was determined that his combat power was sufficient and he was qualified.]
[Individual named Yan Xizhao requests to evolve into a god]
[Confirmed that the gods of this world have fallen, confirmed that there is no complete godhood, conditions met, whether to start the war of gods]
[Individual named Yan Xizhao has initiated a divine war, and is currently confirming participants.]
[Individual name is Xie Qi, will you join the battle?]
The voice that was originally vague in the sky suddenly exploded in his ears. It was not the first time that Xie Qi heard the voice of the Law of Heaven, but it was the first time that he was chosen. He always felt that the Law of Heaven was like an emotionless machine, but he did not expect that a string of words would actually pop up in front of him.
"Reject." Xie Qi spoke without hesitation, in unison with Pandora.
The two looked at each other.
[Individual name Pandora has confirmed her refusal to participate in the battle.] The voice of the Heavenly Law seemed to pause, then said coldly and ruthlessly: [Individual name Xie Qi's refusal is invalid. She has confirmed her participation in the battle.]
Xie Qi: “…” What the hell, is this war between gods also about forced buying and selling?
Pandora knew this would happen. After watching the excitement, he felt much better and his tone became more relaxed, no longer as tense as before.
"You are the original chosen god of this plane. Now someone wants to take your place. How can I let you refuse to participate?"
Xie Qi rubbed his brows speechlessly, then looked at Pandora, "Why would you refuse?"
Pandora only has divine power but no godhead. Even with the protection of the astrolabe over the years, her body is still deteriorating day by day. Logically speaking, she is the one who needs the godhead the most, so there is no reason to refuse.
"Uh..." Pandora didn't say anything, but just tilted her head and listened quietly to the voice of the laws of nature.
[Individual name Michael/Sheng Zhi has been confirmed to participate in the battle]
[Individual named Feng Qiwu has confirmed her refusal to participate in the battle / Individual named Anna has not responded and has confirmed her refusal to participate in the battle]
[Individual name: Wang Xiaoye...]
【The God War Begins! 】
A red arrow appeared in Xie Qi's sight, and he immediately knew that it was a signpost made by Tiandao, and the arrow pointed directly to the hospital in the distance.
The arrow was on the string and had to be released. Just as Xie Qi stood up and prepared to leave, he heard Pandora's voice behind him with a somewhat ambiguous smile. "As expected, you are you, and he is him."
Even though he still has the same name and looks the same, his personality and thoughts are no longer the same.
Once upon a time, it was Xie Qi who stayed in the past, watching everyone leave; but now, it was indeed Xie Qi who moved forward alone, leaving all of them behind in the past.
His back seemed to be right in front of me, nothing had changed, but when I reached out my hand, I realized that everything had changed.
Suddenly, I understood why Feng Qiwu was so stubborn and unwilling to let Shen Jiayan enter the cycle of reincarnation. Heaven's punishment was cruel, but being alive was better than being torn apart, right? Perhaps Feng Qiwu was more afraid of becoming Shen Jiayan's past.
Shen Jiayan is a human being. He cannot resist the effect of reincarnation. Every time he enters reincarnation, his soul will be thoroughly cleansed. A hundred lifetimes is too long.
Xie Qi, who lost the star disk and shattered his divine nature, is just a human being.
"Xie Qi, is this the result you want?" Are you tired of the endless monotony, so you give your all every time, just to become a blank soul and be reincarnated?
No one can answer Pandora's question anymore.
After a moment, he sneered again, "So the reason you gave Feng Qiwu the blessing was because of the similarity."
After laughing, he sat expressionlessly for a while and closed his eyes: "Let's go."
The shadow puppet appeared silently behind him and pushed the wheelchair away.
When Xie Qi rushed to the hospital, the situation had already gotten out of control.
The hospital was rarely busy during the day, and all the experimental subjects that Xie Qi had seen in Yan Xizhao's laboratory were put out.
The black cat was flying through the thick smoke and dust on the ground. The giant behind him was chopping the ground he had just left with a big axe. Two birdmen in the sky were fighting fiercely. The air was curled up by the burning fire of Michael. Lucifer flapped his wings, and white feathers stained with holy light floated down lightly.
Feng Qiwu erected a barrier to separate the battlefield and the hospital. Wang Xue was so nervous that she wanted to lie on the barrier to watch, and the dog ears on her head trembled nervously.
Yan Xizhao, who caused all this, still looked calm and composed as if nothing had happened, and took everything in with a smile.
"You're here." When Yan Xizhao saw Xie Qi, the smile on his face deepened and looked very sincere.
"If I give you my godhood, what do you want to do?" Xie Qi asked him.
"Let?" Yan Xizhao raised his eyebrows and pronounced the word with interest before speaking, "If I could truly become a god, there are many things I want to do. The first thing... would be to open a passage to the infinite world."
Xie Qi frowned, "What?"
"The infinite world is a place without laws and morals. Everything is run according to the rules of the game. It's a cage of fighting beasts where it's either you die or I live." Yan Xizhao smiled lightly. He seemed to be reminiscing, but there was no emotion in his eyes, only emptiness.
He said slowly, "That world is really hard to endure."
He no longer remembered how long he had been in that world, or what it was like at the beginning. In that long memory, he wandered from one dungeon to another, constantly devouring his own kind, killing players who passed the levels, growing into a BOSS, and then climbing step by step to the highest-level dungeon, becoming an indescribable figure on the world forum.
He spent a lot of time and energy and finally opened the time and space channel. He came here and learned how to be a human being.
"I originally thought that I had escaped from that world forever, until -" Until suddenly one day, when he opened his eyes, he was pulled back into that disgusting cage.
He cleaned up that instance, and whether it was players or monsters, they all died at his hands. He was sent out of that world again, but at that moment Yan Xizhao already knew that he would never be able to escape the infinite world. As long as that world wanted, it could pull him back in at any time.
Yan Xizhao later realized that it was the power of rules.
He needs the power to override the rules.
Yan Xizhao began to study other races. He did many experiments. In order to obtain experimental samples, he came to this hospital and met many like-minded partners.
For example, Anna, the rules prevent her from truly dying, but she wants to kill herself; for example, Lucifer, his life is controlled by the rules like a puppet, and he just wants to destroy all this ridiculous thing.
He copied their strength and image perfectly.
"Unfortunately, they are all failures." Yan Xizhao paused and turned his gaze to Xie Qi. "I originally thought that no one could defy the rules, until I saw you."
"You broke free from your fate, from the constraints of the rules, and became an ordinary person in this world. You accomplished what the rest of us desperately wanted to do. That's why I found you, and I brought you back."
This hospital has never been a legacy. It has been famous since the Republic of China. If it had changed hands several times, how could Sheng Zhi, Wang Xue and others have never seen other owners before Xie Qi?
This was just a lie fabricated by Yan Xizhao. He deliberately brought Xie Qi back to the hospital step by step.
Yan Xizhao didn't say much, but Xie Qi took it all in. He felt a little complicated and didn't know what expression to show. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in the end.
The two fights in heaven and on earth also decided the winner at this time.
Michael burned Lucifer with his wicked fire, reducing him to ashes. His figure swayed in the sky before he fell headfirst.
When he was about to land, the six wings behind him closed and wrapped around him who had lost consciousness, and the holy light was extremely dazzling.
As for Sheng Zhi, seeing that he could not win, he took the opportunity to retreat into Feng Qiwu's protective shield, and then surrendered to the laws of heaven.
"Boss, you're the only one here now. Come on, I believe you can pin this guy who's causing trouble in the hospital to the ground!" Sheng Zhi cheered for Xie Qi, as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Yes, Sheng Zhi’s reason for joining the war was so pure and unpretentious.
Yan Xizhao laughed, but he wasn't angry at all.
"Actually, it seems you're all mistaken." Xie Qi chose his words carefully. "It seems I've never thought about escaping my fate. Or rather, as long as the hospital exists, I can't really leave."
Yan Xizhao was stunned for a moment.
Xie Qi stretched out his hand, and a shrunken star disk appeared in his palm. He fiddled with it and straightened a star track. The giant holding an axe and watching him eagerly disappeared without a trace.
He fiddled with it again, and the hospital suddenly changed. Seasons changed, winter turned to spring, grass grew, and birds sang. Even the color of the walls became much darker.
"Who are you?" Yan Xizhao suddenly raised his eyes.
"Probably... a worker on annual leave?" Xie Qi shrugged and said, "I'm not sure myself, but as for the boss, I do have a guess. It should be what you call the Law of Heaven."
Yan Xizhao: “…” No wonder the laws of nature favor you so much, it turns out it’s because you are family.
"Whether you're following fate or defying the rules, as long as you don't harm other innocent people, there's nothing wrong with it. However," Xie Qi sighed, reaching out and patting Yan Xizhao's shoulder heavily, his tone rather serious, "Doctor Yan, with your current abilities, you're still a little short of practice to defy fate."
"Yeah, I know." Yan Xizhao nodded calmly.
"I'm not trying to belittle you, but judging from the memories I have left from my past life, I'm a difficult boss. I'm also very stingy. I even stingy when I'm asked to give me a holiday..." Xie Qi paused, and suddenly raised his voice, "What? You know?"
"You know you're still doing these things? Are you looking for death?" Xie Qi said angrily.
Yan Xizhao smiled shyly and nodded, "Yes."
Yan Xizhao originally did this with the idea of sacrificing his life for the country. Although Pandora and Michael's interference made him act early, he also waited for too long and was unwilling to let go of this opportunity after finally grabbing it.
Of course, now we know that it was a misunderstanding.
Xie Qi looked at Yan Xizhao's smile and said, "You know that what you said sounds very sick, right?"
"Boss, save me." Yan Xizhao said in a gentle tone, admitting his defeat.
"You can't be saved. Just wait to die." Xie Qi couldn't help rolling his eyes and pushed him away. He walked forward with his back to her, muttering, "I'll put you and Pandora in the same ward. If you like to stir up trouble, then stir up more."
Xie Qi waited, but no one responded or followed him. He then realized that time had stopped at some point, and he was the only one in the world who could still move.
…
Yan Xizhao was the first to notice something was wrong, and a line of words appeared in front of him.
[Yan Xizhao, are you convinced? ]
I don't agree. Yan Xizhao's mind didn't hesitate at all.
【Hasn't your wish to open the door to the infinite world been fulfilled? 】
Some time ago, the gate to the infinite world was opened, and some "monsters" escaped. The inspections for time and space travel have also become much stricter, and fewer people come to the hospital for treatment.
And this door was opened by Yan Xizhao himself when he was summoned back to that world again.
Yan Xizhao was not surprised that the laws of heaven knew about this. He couldn't help but ask: Is he dead?
[No, he escaped to an ancient world]
A scene appeared in front of Yan Xizhao's eyes.
There was a sword-cultivating sect located on a high mountain. Outside the sect, an outer disciple was sweeping the snow. Suddenly, a hand appeared in the snow, which scared the disciple and made him scream.
"What's wrong?" The man passing by was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with cloud patterns, a light veil for eyes, a jade crown tied high on his head, a sword in his arms, and another sword hanging at his waist.
Yu Qiehan, the master of Longya Sword, is the best swordsman in the world. Although he looks cold, he is actually a very kind and gentle person.
The outer disciple immediately burst into tears, "Uncle Yu, someone's dead!"
"Hmm?" Yu Qiehan stepped forward to check. Although he was blindfolded, he didn't look blind at all. He touched the exposed wrist and said, "She's still alive."
The picture ends here.
Yan Xizhao suddenly felt confused: Why didn’t you kill him?
[In my eyes, all things are equal. I will not kill anyone, and there is no predetermined fate.]
"Why are you explaining this to me?" Yan Xizhao asked.
The laws of nature have no answer.
"Of course it's because you need it." In the room, Boss Xie took a deep look at the man opposite him who had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, chuckled, and closed the astrolabe in his hand.
Almost at the moment the star disk disappeared, the man opened his eyes. He had a handsome appearance and sharp eyes.
Although there was a faint smile on his face, it made people feel distant and not friendly. It was even sharper than his future self.
"Dr. Yan Xizhao, right?" Boss Xie opened the drawer, handed over the prepared contract, and said with a smile, "You're accepted."
Yan Xizhao signed the contract.
"Work hard and don't be too picky, Dr. Yan." Boss Xie extended his hand.
Yan Xizhao was a little confused about what he said, but he still reached out and shook his hand, smiling faintly, "I will."
A new day begins, and I wake up to the slogan "Machines will never be slaves."
Xie Qi yawned and got out of bed, opened the door, and sure enough, there was the golden retriever and the dining cart outside. He rubbed the golden retriever's head.
After brunch, I went out to walk the dog. Halfway through the walk, I heard a wailing sound. A naked man rushed out holding a deflated inflatable doll, crying to the sky: "Wife! Wife, wake up, wife! Hold on, I'm taking you to the doctor right now!"
Xie Qi: "..."
Can't there be a normal patient?!
