Save the Family Doctor (20)
"Jiang Shi? Jiang Shi? Is he really sunburned?"
The person in the corner still had his eyes closed and did not respond. Seeing this, Fan Dian stood up and was about to walk forward to investigate but someone grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
"What's wrong?" Fan Dian carefully helped Li Pu sit up and put a pillow behind his back. Li Pu thanked him politely and said, "If he really fainted, there's no guarantee that it will be Jiang Shi himself when he wakes up."
Fan Dian stared at the person in the corner: "What if he is pretending to be asleep?"
"If it's Jiang Shi, it proves that he regrets and is unwilling to cooperate with us. If it's an outsider, then - just kill him." Li Pu said calmly, "Anyway, no matter who dies among the three of us, the story will start all over again, and the time is almost up. As long as Jiang Shi doesn't take action, everything will end in failure."
"That makes sense." Fan Dian nodded in agreement.
“Ka——”
The sound of a gun being loaded could be heard in the quiet little house.
Fan Dian raised his gun and said, "What a pity. We finally got here, but now we have to start all over again."
"It's not the first time either."
Fan Dian: “Yes.”
"Then how many times has this happened?"
"I can't remember, it's been at least dozens of times." Fan Dian asked doubtfully, "We've been together for so long, you should remember it more clearly, why are you asking me?"
Fan Dian looked at Li Pu in confusion, only to see that Li Pu looked indifferent, with a look of helplessness on his pale face. "The 65th time."
Li Pu's voice was low and hoarse, sounding very weak. He was totally not the same person as the one he just talked to. Fan Dian reacted and his eyes suddenly swept towards the corner.
The doctor's white coat in the corner was stained and had torn holes. The young man opened his eyes and his gaze under the lenses was cold. For a moment, Fan Dian felt like a prey being targeted by a large cat. The arm holding the gun straightened involuntarily and he became alert.
Unexpectedly, the young man opposite casually raised his hands, looking extremely eager to survive. His eyes were not as clear as before, and he spoke in an extremely polite manner, which reminded Fan Dian of the interns he interviewed in the company. "Sorry to bother you, don't kill me. I didn't mean to pretend to sleep. The main reason was that I didn't know what to say, so it's more convenient to pretend to sleep."
As soon as I heard the tone, I knew it was not Jiang Shi's official squinting tone.
Li Pu said, "Who are you?"
The young man revealed his family background: "I'm not Jiang Shi, my name is Jiang Yuanshi. I was originally dead but was inexplicably dragged here to do a mission. May I ask if you know about transmigration? They said that if I complete the mission and survive to the end, I can be resurrected, but the conditions for passing the level are very harsh. This is my second world mission."
The young man said a lot of gibberish. Most people would think that he was crazy, but Fan Dian and Li Pu looked at each other and knew that this young man named Jiang Yuanshi was telling the truth. At least what he said now was consistent with what they had previously interrogated from other outsiders. The young man's performance even brought them different gains.
Li Pu: "Then do you know who we are? Or what are we?"
Jiang Yuanshi's eyes were clear, his hands still in a surrendering position as he said, "I know, you are the NPCs responsible for the plot in the novel, or the top and bottom of the protagonist. We are now in a world constructed based on the novel."
Li Pu narrowed his eyes: "You told everyone everything, then you should know that NPCs can't have self-awareness. You don't seem scared or surprised to see us like this."
"Yes, it's not surprising, because I also encountered them in the last world. That couple could also act on their own and helped me a lot." Jiang Yuanshi asked puzzledly, "Isn't it the same in this world? I always thought there was a bug. I waited for you for a long time but didn't see you awaken. I almost thought I was going to die again. It was a close call."
The young man looked at Fan Dian and Li Pu, who looked like they had met a savior. This outsider not only provided new information, but also might need them, which made them suspicious.
Li Pu said, "You are the first person to say that. When the outsiders saw us like this before, they either ran away in fear or tried to threaten us to gain benefits. Some even reported us to their so-called supervisors. You should have reported us too."
After Li Pu finished speaking, the young man's hand moved. Fan Dian's gun was always pointed at the young man. They wanted to see what this man could do.
Should I run away, call for help, or beg for mercy?
It doesn't matter what, they will drag this outsider down with them even if they die.
Jiang Yuanshi stretched out his left hand, pulled down the sleeve of his right arm to reveal the black and red snake on his wrist, pointed his finger and said, "Is this the supervisor you are talking about? This is my system. I came to ZZ to say hello to everyone. Don't be too loud."
Li Pu, Fan Dian:?
I feel like I've been tricked.
The snake on Jiang Yuanshi's wrist moved, and its body moved to the fingertips. It looked up at the two protagonists with cold eyes and spit out its tongue. Fan Dian stepped forward to block Li Pu and pointed his gun at the snake. But if the other party pounced on him, Fan Dian was not sure whether he could guarantee Li Pu's safety. Should he fight the snake or the outsider? While Fan Dian was struggling with his mind without changing his expression, the snake spit out its tongue and made a low, mechanical male voice:
"Hello, I am System Z01, and I am glad to work with you."
Fan Dian:……?
Li Pu: ...
The snake spoke human language.
Fan Dian and Li Pu looked at each other subconsciously, seeing a trace of confusion and absurdity in each other's eyes, but that was the fact, and the snake spoke again: "In view of the fact that your words have judged that your consciousness has awakened and you have some understanding of the structure of this world, then to make a long story short, this outsider and I are in a cooperative relationship between the system and the host. The first task is to pass the level. The task is to make Jiang Shi and the protagonists survive intact to the end. According to data analysis, the success rate of cooperation with the two of you will increase from the original 31.1% to 86.66%, which is a very high success rate, so I suggest that both parties cooperate."
The snake spoke.
It's also very logical.
Li Pu couldn't help but frown, feeling a little dizzy. Fan Dian stared blankly at the young man and the snake, and said to Li Pu behind him: "Li Pu, slap me, I feel like I'm dreaming."
“…”
The force coming from behind was very light, but it felt real. Fan Dian said, "Didn't you not eat? Why are you so gentle?"
"Um..." The young man raised his hand weakly and pointed behind Fan Dian, "Li, your wife seems to have fainted."
Fan Dian:!
Fan Dian turned his head suddenly, the muzzle of the gun still pointed at the young man, his head turned 180 degrees, Li Pu's pale face and the blood from his shirt dyed half of his shoulder red. Fan Dian hurriedly shouted: "Li Pu!"
Fan Dian quickly turned to the young man and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and treat him. If you can't cure him, I will let all of you be buried with him!"
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
It seems that funerary literature comes with it when it leaves the factory.
The Funeral Doctor - College Student Edition is online. With the help of Jiang Shi's inherent skills and the scanning of the system snake, Jiang Yuanshi moves swiftly. He quickly gives the patient a hemostatic injection, bandages the wound, fixes the fractured calf and arm, and puts him on a glucose drip.
"Okay, Mr. Fan."
Fan Dian asked worriedly, "Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Because Madam has lost too much blood, it will take some time."
Fan Dian: "How long will it take? It will be too late soon. Those people are coming."
As the house was simple and there were no shelves, Jiang Yuanshi's medical kit did not have a stent, so he had to hold the IV bottle himself. He held up the IV bottle and asked, "What do you mean it's too late? Who are those people?"
Fan Dian frowned: "Are you really an outsider? Those outsiders all said that they had read the original novel and knew the plot very well. The following plot is about my enemy! He is coming to kill people soon."
Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes wide and answered honestly: "I watched it, but there are too many plots and I can't remember them. I'm sorry."
"What about your system?"
System Snake: "Sorry, due to a bug, the system was ejected and lost certain functions. Generally speaking, the system will not appear in the mission world."
Fan Dian: "How old are you two this year?"
Jiang Yuanshi: “University, 19 years old.”
System Snake: "The system calculates it based on length of service. This is the third human host I have taken on."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I'm really sorry."
System Snake: "Sorry."
Facing two pairs of innocent, sincere, and apologetic eyes, Fan Dian swallowed back all the words he wanted to say. Forget it, why should he bother with two interns? Moreover, the two of them had not done anything out of line. According to his memory of the previous plot, at least he did not cause trouble for them, and he also helped Li Pu and did not let the Li family take him back to torture him.
Fan Dian took back the gun: "Forget it, give me the IV."
Jiang Yuanshi held the IV bottle in both hands and handed it over. Fan Dian raised one hand and said to the others, "Just follow your system and say we will cooperate with you. You can report us secretly later. We have no choice anyway. We will die anyway."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't quite understand: "Have you worked with other people before? Excuse me, when did you know that you were a character in the novel?"
Fan Dian smiled bitterly and said, "I can't remember. I just remember that when I first realized that I was a character in a novel, I was being hunted by my enemies. I got separated from Dr. Jiang while escaping, and Li Pu and I found a hole to hide in. It was very dark and I couldn't see anything. I held Li Pu and waited for a long time. There was no sound outside, no gunshots, footsteps, nothing. The plot I knew in my mind had ended."
"Then there was a gunshot, and I knew Jiang Shi must be dead. I didn't know what to do at that time. I couldn't remember where my home was, I didn't remember where this place was, there was no one in my phone contacts, and all the numbers I called were invalid. I could only hold Li Pu. I tried to talk to him, but there was no response. I thought he must have fainted from losing too much blood, because my body was cold and damp, and there was a smell of blood, which must be his blood. I was a little worried about him, but because I couldn't see, I could only secretly open a crack on the top of the pit. A little light came in, and something black floated in, like black smoke, but I didn't care, I just wanted to see Li Pu."
As Fan Dian recalled the past, he suddenly smiled, with an indescribable feeling, perhaps sadness or fear.
"I held him. I held him all the time. Li Pu bled a lot, so much that I was soaked. He felt so soft in my arms, as if he had no substance. When I looked clearly, I realized that Li Pu was gone."
"I held him until he turned into a pool of blood that enveloped me, and then I merged with him."
