Save the Family Doctor (Twenty-four)
The empty voice disappeared.
Jiang Yuanshi’s first reaction after hearing this was: He really is a burial object.
We are all buried with the dead, it's so miserable and annoying, who have we offended?
It turns out it was all a scam.
From the outset, the mission was impossible to succeed.
The story itself was discontinued, and it was done intentionally.
A dead end.
If those people had not mentioned the half-human, half-god, Jiang Yuanshi might not have reacted so quickly to realize that the source of the voice was the main god.
But why would the Lord God want to kill a system? And why was he so afraid of it that he even prepared for it for many years?
In fact, Jiang Yuanshi knew that something was wrong with Z01. After all, as a system, it had too many permissions. Just like a joke he had made before, a max-level boss with amnesia mistakenly entered the novice village.
But looking at Z01's overall reaction, he is very dedicated to his job, not the type that would rebel. If he is threatening, it can't be that his sales performance is too good and he wants to take the position of the main god, right? To exaggerate a little, Z01 is the big boss, the type that can threaten the entire Chuanshu Bureau.
Well...why not just start fighting?
Jiang Yuanshi’s life is also a life. If you don’t want him from the beginning, don’t force him to work for you.
It's true that after a person dies, his corpse has to be whipped. At least there is still a normal soul left after the whipping. But he is going to be reduced to ashes soon.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed in the darkness. As expected, few of the main gods did practical work. An ordinary human like him could tell with his brain that it would be a wishful thinking for an existence that the main gods could not destroy for so many years to die in a novice world.
Let them be destroyed, and the burial objects will be destroyed. Jiang Yuanshi sighed in the darkness, leaders who drag their employees down with them are all garbage!
He is the main god, that’s such a cool title, if you have the ability then go and do it yourself.
If he had a body, Jiang Yuanshi would really like to put his hands together and pray that Z01 would quickly blow up those useless main gods, and leave the half-human, half-god one behind. Although he was calculating, at least he helped him.
Let it be destroyed, Jiang Yuanshi sighed again from the bottom of his heart.
Friends who have prayed know that most of the time prayer is useless, and the less you think about it, the more likely it is to come.
Jiang Yuanshi, who was having fun just now, now felt waves of pain. Although he had no body, he felt like something was gnawing at his brain, bite by bite.
His consciousness began to blur and bright lights flashed before his eyes, like a revolving lantern.
The scene before death appeared before my eyes.
It looks like he's really going to die.
"This child was so badly injured but he managed to hold on for so long. His will to survive is really strong."
"It's really hard. I heard that his parents are both university teachers. They teach during the day and come to take care of the children at night. They look very haggard."
"Who can sympathize with the love of parents? What parent doesn't love their child? The boy's entire body was burned. I estimate that the total cost of surgery and treatment will be at least a million."
"It's such bad luck. The family was on the way home by car, and something happened to the child."
"What? This incident was on the news. The child came out first and could have run away. He went to the front and rescued his parents from the front seat. You think he should be fine after rescuing them, but he insisted on going back to the car to get his computer. As a result, the car exploded and he was killed. I heard he was a computer genius. It turns out that geniuses have different brain circuits. They prefer computers to their lives."
"Poor parents, they spent money and effort, went to the ICU four times in three days, and went back and forth for a week. My parents are going crazy. Look, now we have asked our own elderly to come over to help, and the old lady is crying miserably."
…
"Alas, the young man with burns in the ICU is gone. I heard that he took off the ventilator by himself. He was in such a state, where did he get the strength to do it?"
"Look, his parents are still wiping tears at the door of the morgue."
"But if you ask me, if he dies, it will be a relief for the children and the family. If he is saved, it will be a bottomless pit and he will suffer."
"…………yes."
"Death is also a relief."
“Beep——”
The electronic sound dragged out a long sound, and the red line stretched out, with no end in sight, straight into the darkness.
There was a voice, and it said——
"I found you."
"Jiang Yuanshi, it's time to wake up."
Someone was calling him.
Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes, but it was still dark and his body was in pain, as if it was being burned by flames.
"Jiang Yuanshi——"
Jiang Yuanshi looked for the direction of the sound. After his vision disappeared, his hearing became extremely sensitive, but unfortunately, he could not move.
He looked in the direction of the sound, and it was still dark.
He watched quietly until a little red appeared in the darkness, a red without any bright light, calmly piercing into the darkness and reaching towards him.
Jiang Yuanshi tried to identify the red straight line...had the electrocardiogram materialized?
He was probably dreaming.
The next second, the red lines began to twist and tangle before his eyes.
His vision was occupied by the woven red web.
He felt himself being wrapped up.
Jiang Yuanshi felt dizzy and wondered: Do I have to turn into a spider in the black fog?
Just when Jiang Yuanshi was thinking about whether he should break out of the cocoon and become a spider, he felt a strong recoil and he was stuck to the red web, unable to move.
It turns out that he is the prey.
The red cocoon moved at an accelerated speed, and Jiang Yuanshi found himself as if being pulled out of the darkness and gradually glimpsing the daylight.
The light was so blinding that he couldn't help but close his eyes, and a familiar voice rang in his ears.
"Host, it's time to get up. Your mission is not yet complete."
Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes and saw everything red.
The black fog turned red and floated in front of him. He looked for the system in the fog: "Z01?"
"Hello host, I'm here."
The sound came from all directions, and it was unclear where it came from. Jiang Yuanshi looked around and asked, "Where are you?"
Z01: "I'm right beside you."
Jiang Yuanshi looked at his body. He had a body again, but there was nothing on his body or around him except red mist.
Right next to him.
Jiang Yuanshi spread out his palms, the mist covered the lines on his palms. He held the mist, and the red mist became a long line. He asked tentatively: "Z01?"
"I'm here." Z01 replied again, "Also, host, please don't pull my data nerves."
Jiang Yuanshi let go silently, it turned out to be true.
"Wait, nerves? Then where am I and what have you become?"
"As you can see, it's fog." Z01 slowly moved with Jiang Yuanshi. Black fog seeped in and then disintegrated. "According to the detection, the fog on the island has life and can eat people. When I found you, you were eaten, but fortunately, you were not completely digested and can be saved."
The strange description makes me feel a little nauseous. "When you say that, it really seems like I have entered the stomach of one thing into the stomach of another."
Z01 said bluntly: "You can understand it that way."
Jiang Yuanshi: No, I don’t want to.
"By the way, I saw a lot of people in the fog, and they tried to save me." Jiang Yuanshi described, "They looked like the faceless NPCs on the street. Can they save me?"
Z01: "I'm sorry, host. They have been swallowed by the mist and have become part of it. They can no longer be separated. To be more precise, the black mist has grown stronger because of them."
"They shouldn't be NPCs." Jiang Yuanshi hesitated but took a breath and said, "Are they... people like me?"
Black fog continued to come in, and Z01 replied: "Yes, your guess is correct. The database combined with the soul analysis in the black fog concluded that they are hosts whose missions had failed and whose location signals had been lost."
"Every host, regardless of success or failure, can be detected by the system as long as they are bound to the system. However, these hosts are not found. The system has listed them as missing. It has been 166 years since the first person disappeared. All of them have been found today. It is suspected that the signal was blocked by the black fog. The report has been reported to the superiors. The system will handle it later. Please rest assured."
"How do we deal with it? Kill him?"
"Depending on the interrogation, there is a chance that he will become a host again, or be transformed into a system."
Jiang Yuanshi was stunned: "Can the host really be transformed into a system?"
Z01: "Yes, but it is a special case. The most common case is the measures taken by the Chuanshuju to make up for the mistakes."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Are their memories still there?"
Z01: "Yes, they will complete their mission as a system and will also be able to get a chance to be reborn."
Jiang Yuanshi: "What if it is cleared?"
Z01: "If the host is tainted or uncontrolled, but has to be converted to a system, it will be restored to factory settings."
Not controlled.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Jiang Yuanshi replied: "Yes, Z01, the Lord of the Book Bureau wants to kill you. This mission was set up to kill you from the beginning."
Jiang Yuanshi did not hide anything and frankly relayed everything he heard to Z01, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, and whether you want to report it or not. I've said it all."
After hearing this, Z01 simply replied that he was analyzing the situation and then fell silent.
Jiang Yuanshi did not urge anyone. He just sat there quietly and watched the black fog that came in being swallowed by the red fog.
"Assuming your inference is correct—" After a long while, Z01 broke the silence and asked, "I want to know why you told me this. This is of no benefit to you and it is very likely to put you on the opposite side of the Book Bureau. Please give me a reason and don't end with "I just said it when I wanted to say it."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't expect the other party to skip asking whether the matter was true or not and ask him this question directly. Moreover, his answer was predicted. He had no choice but to answer seriously: "You ask this? If you must have a reason, first of all, you just saved me, so it's a reward. Also, compared to those main gods, I am more familiar with you. We are all workers, so of course I will stand on your side."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the red mist seems to move more actively.
The system didn't say anything, but Jiang Yuanshi was curious: "So you believe what I say so easily? Aren't you afraid that I'm playing a trick on you? Don't you think it's ridiculous that the Lord God wants to kill you?"
"You have no need to lie to me. It is because the story is too absurd and difficult for ordinary life forms to come up with, which makes it more credible. Besides, the Lord God may really want to kill me, because my performance has indeed exceeded the contribution of the Lord God system according to the calculation just now."
Jiang Yuanshi: "...Then how long have you been doing it?"
Z01: "According to human time, I have been working for 10 billion years."
For a long time, Z01 was able to help when Pangu created the world.
"You haven't taken a break in between?"
"Yes."
"Have you been paid overtime?"
"What is that?"
“……”It seems that there is no more.
Jiang Yuanshi continued to ask: "Then may I ask, how does your system calculate wages?"
Z01 replied: "After taking care of a host, the settlement will be based on 5% of the total amount of the host's accumulated willpower."
"Isn't there a system where you get rewards based on how many hosts you bring in consecutively?"
"Are you talking about performance commission? The Lord God said that I never used it, so he took it to repair the world to help me do a better job."
Z01 has worked for hundreds of millions of years, without any holidays, all year round, with no subsidies, no commissions, and no overtime pay - a true *three-no product.
"."
Jiang Yuanshi couldn't catch his breath, and felt that being alive was more uncomfortable than being dead. But Z01 asked, "Host, what happened to you? Why did your heart stop beating?"
"...Z01, let me ask you, what did the Lord God say the repair world had to do? A bunch of bugs?"
The floating red mist stopped.
