Chapter 52 "Third Person Perspective" Let me cooperate with you
Episode 52 "Third Person Perspective" Let me cooperate with you
Shang Hexing thought that knowing that Fu Lin wanted to merge Anubis and the real world was absurd and naive enough. Essentially, he is the type of person who grew up in a greenhouse, does not understand the darkness of human nature, and is a person who does what he thinks and is not afraid of difficulties.
But after what happened with Li Zhi, Shang Hexing realized that Fu Lin was more than just a man of action, he would use any means possible to harm others.
Even if Shang Hexing wanted to keep a distance from Li Zhi, he would not let Fu Lin intervene and make someone sit outside with him all night.
He is not in good health.
When Shang Hexing thought of this, he suddenly became a little angry. Fu Lin should know Li Zhi's fragile body better than himself, but he made him sit on the bench all night just to annoy him.
In the past, Fu Lin had accused Shang Hexing of not putting his heart into getting along with NPCs, and that when he got really emotional, he might not really treat them as human beings.
Shang Hexing never thought of himself as a good person, and he didn't care if others said he was a sophisticated egoist. Because he is not interested in what people outside think, nor does he think he needs to make efforts for these people he is not interested in, to make them realize that they have other advantages or resolve misunderstandings.
However, Shang Hexing doesn't like hypocrites.
Fu Lin's action completely hit his sore spot, and Shang Hexing's secret discomfort towards him turned into complete disgust. He even began to suspect that the terrible thing of "body swapping" that he was facing now was also secretly orchestrated by Fu Lin.
When he gripped the door handle of the ward, Shang Hexing's fingers tightened unconsciously. When he thought about having to cooperate with the other party, he couldn't help but sneer.
※
On the other side of the door, there was Fu Lin sitting on the hospital bed.
Fu Lin is not used to wearing a mask, and at this moment he still shows his face calmly. His expression was as calm as water. He didn't seem surprised by Shang Hexing's appearance without saying hello. His eyes were filled with understanding and calmness. Fu Lin seemed to have just raised his head from a long period of thought, and happened to meet Shang Hexing who was standing at the door.
Shang Hexing had been waiting for this scene for a long time since he knew about Fu Lin's existence.
But when they really met face to face, Shang Hexing felt a sense of disconnection. From the perspective of standing at the door, he now seemed to be standing in a dream, watching himself resting on the hospital bed as a bystander with cold eyes. "Myself" was suffering from torture, and soon after waking up, he had a cold encounter with "Fu Lin". This kind of "self" should obviously be the closest and most familiar person, but the actual situation is just the opposite.
This contradiction made him feel deeply uneasy and real - the reality of "body swapping".
"Mr. Fu, why are you here so soon?"
Jerry, who was in the house, didn't notice the undercurrent between the two men.
His words broke the tense feeling of their stillness.
However, this does not have any effect.
Shang Hexing just glanced slightly in his direction, and said in a low, cold and straightforward voice, "I have something to tell him, you go out first."
These words abruptly cut off the warm smile on Jerry's face.
Jerry was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously swept in the direction of Fu Lin.
Fu Lin didn't say anything, and there was no fluctuation in his eyebrows. He just raised his chin slightly, as if agreeing with Shang Hexing's statement.
Jerry had some vision and noticed something was wrong. Although countless small dramas flashed through his mind, he chose not to say much. He just looked at Shang Hexing a few more times before leaving, with gossipy curiosity and uneasy speculation.
When leaving, Jerry closed the door behind him, trying not to disturb them with the sound of the door closing.
The three to four seconds after the door closed were a cold standoff. The two looked at each other like fire and water, but they were not willing to tear apart the current peace.
The first to speak was Fu Lin.
This fits his character. He is quick in doing things and decisive in making decisions. He is tenacious and hardworking, and he doesn't like to waste time beating around the bush. In contrast, Shang Hexing is a defensive type and usually does not take the initiative to speak. Even at this time, he was more observant than acting rashly.
"I think there is only one reason why you still want to come to me now."
When Fu Lin said this, he was still sitting on the hospital bed motionless. There was an open bedside table in front of him, which just trapped him in a small space and seemed to make it impossible for him to leave.
It seemed like there was no danger, but Fu Lin's hands were kept inside his quilt the entire time, and no movement could be seen, which indicated that the opposite situation existed.
However, when Shang Hexing came, he had already checked the cameras and was also on the lookout for any possibility that Fu Lin was carrying any dangerous equipment. Facing Fu Lin, who might take revenge at any time, Shang Hexing could not be completely unprepared.
Shang Hexing secretly carried anesthetics with him.
He pulled out the chair closest to the ward door and sat directly opposite Fu Lin. “I think there is more than one thing that needs to be resolved between you and me.”
Leave Anubis.
To exchange each other's bodies,
There is also the remaining issue of "Li Zhi".
If I have to take anything to count, it would be that I stabbed Fu Lin in the back.
Shang Hexing said coldly: "Let's not talk about emotional problems, how about we talk about how to solve the problem? I believe you will now think that we can better solve the problem by cooperating."
"Do you think we can still cooperate now?" Fu Lin on the opposite side raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You're not incapable of making any smart decisions."
Shang Hexing directly stated his thoughts.
He didn't want to beat around the bush with Fu Lin. "We didn't leave Anubis smoothly because we haven't completely solved the secrets of the city. The longer we stay here, the more life risks we players will face. Not to mention the hardships you encountered when you were kidnapped, I myself encountered two fatal car accidents before I met you. I don't think you are willing to risk your life and continue to live in Anubis."
"If you have any revenge on me, I think you'd want to do it after you get your body back, right?"
Shang Hexing said this while watching Fu Lin's expressions and movements in front of him to see when he would explode. It was not until Fu Lin heard what he said that he suddenly had a strange reaction to the word "revenge".
Fu Lin couldn't help but lower his head and sneered, "…Why should I take revenge? Whatever you do is your own choice. If I still choose to take revenge, then wouldn't I be a truly shameless person? I wouldn't be so despicable."
Shang Hexing was skeptical about what he said, "You'd better really think so."
"So what do you think about the current situation?" Fu Lin asked.
"Which one do you want to ask?"
“Which one is the easiest?”
Shang Hexing raised his chin slightly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, with a hint of oppression. He slowly adjusted his sitting posture, his tone was always cold, but with a hint of forbearance: "Fu Lin, don't use my identity to take advantage of me. This should not be difficult for you to do, right?"
Fu Lin was startled, his eyes slightly evasive, then he regained his composure. A trace of sarcasm appeared on his lips: "Shang Hexing, he can't even tell you apart from me. It seems that your relationship with Li Zhi is just like this."
As soon as the words fell, the air froze instantly.
The doctor's words flashed through Shang Hexing's mind, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, like an enraged beast. He warned in a low voice: "Fu Lin, you'd better not be so cautious! Is this your attitude of cooperation?"
Fu Lin sneered, his words were as direct as a sharp blade: "It's you who are provoking me."
"Say it like that...you were the one who crossed the line first!" Shang Hexing's tone suddenly rose, his emotions completely ignited.
"It's obviously you who is going too far!" Fu Lin refused to give in, with a hint of anger in his tone.
A fierce verbal battle raged in the room. Only when they stopped exhausted did they have to turn their attention back to the problem at hand - how to get their bodies back.
Surprisingly, they thought it would be a long and complicated tug-of-war.
The development of the matter was far more dramatic than expected.
Not long after Fu Lin was discharged from the hospital, it was the day that Shang Hexing and Li Zhi had an appointment.
But fate once again gave them the answer in an absurd way.
