Perhaps to make it easier for patients to observe their physical condition and change dressings, the mirror in the bathroom is a full-length mirror.
Jiang Chuyi's figure looks slender, but in fact she is well-proportioned, like a young and upright tree, not too weak to stand in the wind.
She gestured to the area around her heart and said, "Hey, this is where the heart should be, right?"
The system came out and took a look at this scene, and was instantly suffocated: "...Host, what do you want to do?"
"Since you know your body's weaknesses, if you don't remove them beforehand, are you just waiting for the enemy to target you?" Jiang Chuyi said matter-of-factly. "Have you forgotten the rules again? What should you answer when I ask you a question?"
The system choked: "It is indeed here, but calm down..."
Before it could finish its words, a knife appeared out of thin air in Jiang Chuyi's hand.
The next second, the blade pierced deeply into her heart.
The system was stunned by this scene and was completely speechless. It only screamed when Jiang Chuyi started to cut a hole in his chest with an expressionless face.
"Host ahh ...
"Shut up." Jiang Chuyi frowned, "What are you arguing about?"
The system reflexively stopped talking, and then it realized that the imagined scene of a river of blood did not appear. Jiang Chuyi's wound was wrapped in a layer of white halo, and her face was calm, without showing any pain.
...It was overthinking it. How could such a delicate host be willing to hurt itself?
"Look at how ignorant you are. I'm not the first generation host you've found, am I?" Jiang Chuyi said sarcastically.
System: "You're looking down on me. Although I'm still new, I've managed dozens of hosts... But you're the first person I've ever seen who's so ruthless as to directly cut someone's heart out."
Jiang Chuyi didn't take it seriously. She slowly continued cutting and exploring, still in the mood to talk: "That's nothing. When I was bored before, I tried to slice myself into pieces, but because my recovery ability was too strong, I always failed. I still haven't found a way to achieve this goal."
system:……
"Well, your method of killing boredom is pretty hardcore, huh."
Unconsciously, its way of addressing Jiang Chuyi became a respectful title.
Jiang Chuyi took this as a compliment.
She took another step closer, looking closely at the open wound.
At this time, the weak beating of the heart could be seen, but as for the so-called core, there was still no sign of it.
Jiang Chuyi frowned impatiently, exerted force with his hand, and stabbed the knife directly into his heart.
system:! ! !
Before it could scream again, Jiang Chuyi's eyebrows jumped and he pulled out the knife.
Instead, her own fingers were used.
She had slender fingers, and with just two of them, she easily picked something out.
A snow-white and lustrous light overflowed from her fingers, radiating brilliance in the dark room.
"Huh?" Jiang Chuyi held the thing in front of his eyes and observed it. "It's quite beautiful."
The system was speechless.
It watched in horror as the white materialized energy wrapped around Jiang Chuyi's wound. In just a few blinks of an eye, the body became smooth and beautiful again, with no sign of having been ripped open by herself.
Jiang Chuyi ignored the system and carefully looked at the so-called core in front of her.
After the external light gradually recedes, it looks like a white gem, the kind that people would love if made into any jewelry.
She stared so intently that the system became a little worried. When it was tremblingly trying to ask a question, it saw Jiang Chuyi nod with a satisfied look on her face.
"Strong enough, beautiful enough, worthy of being from my body."
system:……
It's overthinking it.
"This thing should be the energy core of the Zombie King. After the original body's consciousness died, it was this thing that supported this body." Jiang Chuyi touched his chin. "If all this was done by the doctor, then he must have found a way to control the energy inside, just like he did to me before."
"There's no more energy left in it, host," the system said. "You've already absorbed all of the original body's energy. Now this core is just an empty shell. It probably can't achieve the same explosive power boost as described in the original plot."
"Even if it has no energy, it is the core of the Zombie King. Who knows what effect it will have." Jiang Chuyi said.
"So what do you want to do with it now?" the system asked. "Do you want to give it to humans for research?"
Jiang Chuyi raised an eyebrow in surprise: "What are you talking about? Do I look like the original self who was taken advantage of?"
The system is silent.
"Whatever the consequences for humanity, they're their own fault. It has nothing to do with me. Why should I contribute my things to their future?" Jiang Chuyi snorted coldly. "Besides, they can barely protect themselves in their current state. Giving them this thing will only cause disputes. Even if I tell you, a computer, you won't understand."
system:……
It seems to be rejected again.
But it had to admit that Jiang Chuyi was right.
It can analyze the objective pros and cons, but it does not understand why humans will fight and struggle even if their lives are poor.
The core of the Zombie King, even without energy, is not something that ordinary humans can control. Once it gets out, it may cause irreversible consequences.
Moreover, its origin is difficult to explain.
Just as the system was spinning its memory and trying to analyze the current situation, it saw Jiang Chuyi casually put the core on the washbasin and then started to put on his clothes.
Just like when she took it off, Jiang Chuyi put the skirt back on carefully.
She liked these white dresses very much. Based on her experience these days, she found that once they were stained with blood, no matter how she washed them, they might not be cleaned at all. She remembered this and really didn't want to get them dirty.
After she put on her clothes, the system couldn't wait to ask: "Host, what do you want to do?"
"Just do it."
Jiang Chuyi took out a glass and poured the unfinished juice into the glass.
Then she picked up the core and squeezed it hard against the rim of the cup.
When the system suddenly stopped operating, the extremely hard core that would attract countless people if released was turned into powder in Jiang Chuyi's hands.
The white powder fell into the ordinary glass of juice and dissolved without a trace in an instant.
The system was stunned.
Jiang Chuyi didn't say what his purpose was. He carried the cup out of the bathroom, put it casually on the bedside, and then got into bed and wrapped himself in the quilt.
System: "...Are we going to sleep now?"
"What else?" Jiang Chuyi said.
"So the core is just... soaked in juice?"
Jiang Chuyi: "Stop asking nonsense."
The system fell into deep suspicion of Tongsheng and remained silent for a long time.
When Jiang Chuyi was about to fall asleep, it suddenly remembered another thing to report, as if in a dream.
"By the way, host, I have already written a report about Ji Xia's rebirth. I should be able to correct this error soon."
Jiang Chuyi paused, lifted the quilt and sat up: "How will you repair it?"
"The higher-ups should send a more advanced system down to investigate, and then send the soul that disrupted time and space back to its own time and space..."
"He's already dead in his original time and space. Do you want to kill him?"
The system was silent for a moment: "Host, his existence is a mistake."
Jiang Chuyi narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Okay, you send a report, and then have your boss send someone to take a look at this world where none of the original plot has happened, and there are a bunch of people who shouldn't be there. I'm curious, will they deal with Ji Xia first, or you first?"
Her ending tone was soft and lingering, like the whisper of a little girl when she was acting coquettishly, but it sounded like a heavy blow from a sledgehammer to the system's ears, making it buzz.
"I don't care anyway." Jiang Chuyi lay back on the bed. "Even if the world is destroyed, it won't affect me. You can die as you please, and I'll see you to your death."
system:……
It silently deletes the report that has already been written.
"Host, I thought you hated Ji Xia and didn't care about other people's lives." It said, "I was wrong."
"If you know you're not smart, then don't force yourself to think too much, okay?" Jiang Chuyi said, "Who needs you to control me if I hate you?"
Okay, this is enough reason for Jiang Chuyi, the system has nothing to say.
Hearing the system disappear quietly, Jiang Chuyi snorted from his nose.
If the system wasn't still useful to her, she would have crushed it to death long ago.
Humans are not trustworthy, and machines that don’t know which side they are on are even less trustworthy.
She closed her eyes and connected with Xiao San with her consciousness.
We hadn't been in touch for a long time, and when we did, she was shocked.
With Jiang Chuyi's authorization, Xiao San had actually summoned a large number of zombies. The feeling of such a vast response to her made her head buzz.
She quickly cut off the other zombies who were scrambling to talk to her, leaving Xiao San's consciousness alone.
Xiao San proudly reported to her the growth of the roses.
Jiang Chuyi's mouth twitched, and he gave it another task.
She transmitted the image of the doctor to it through her consciousness and gave it a death order: even if she had to dig three feet underground, she had to find this guy.
The mistress took the order without complaint.
After assigning tasks to his younger brother, Jiang Chuyi yawned and fell into a deep sleep buried in the quilt.
When she regained consciousness, she heard someone opening the door.
Without even opening her eyelids, she recognized the footsteps of He Sizhao.
He walked in quietly and placed something on her bedside. A rich fragrance drifted into her nostrils, making Jiang Chuyi's stomach growl.
Jiang Chuyi: ...
Hearing He Sizhao's chuckle, she turned over and sat up in anger, staring at him straight.
He Shizhao immediately put on a serious look.
He retracted his foot and returned to sit beside Jiang Chuyi's bed. "Xiaoyi, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long. I made you some milk and mushroom soup."
Jiang Chuyi commanded: "Bring it to me."
Even though it was right next to her bed, she was too lazy to reach out.
He Shizhao operated something beside her bed, and then a stable and spacious small table stood up.
Jiang Chuyi was amazed. She had never seen anything like this before.
He Sizhao put the bowl on the table: "Ordinary beds don't have this function. It's a hospital feature."
"This function is great," Jiang Chuyi commented. "I want my bed to be like this from now on."
A smile flashed in He Sizhao's eyes.
"Xiaoyi, you can sleep here tonight. I may not be back to accompany you at night. If you want to find me, use this." He handed a communicator to Jiang Chuyi, "You can keep it in the space and take it out when you need it. I am channel one, the easiest one to find."
Jiang Chuyi shook the communicator.
She had seen He Sizhao and others use this thing many times, but this was the first time she used it herself.
Humans are indeed more troublesome. As for zombies, as long as you connect to their consciousness, you can talk to them.
The idea of turning He Shizhao into a high-level zombie flashed through his mind.
Then she denied it herself.
No, if you want to become a zombie, the first step is to let someone die.
When she thought of letting He Sizhao die, she subconsciously wanted to reject it.
"Take your time to eat. I'll go get busy first." He Sizhao didn't know what Jiang Chuyi was thinking. "I've told you that no one will come to disturb you. Call me anytime if you need anything."
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Chuyi stopped He Sizhao who was about to leave and pointed to the ordinary glass of juice on the bedside.
"Drink that."
