Searching for "Jiang Yuanshi" (XI)
Countless blue threads wrapped around Jiang Yuanshi's body, finally weaving into a complete human figure.
The moment the system sound ended, the blue figure separated from the person on the bed, floated up, and opened his eyes.
"So, this is my new soul?"
The blue figure asked the dark red line on his wrist, but received no answer.
Only the human figure didn't have five joints, so he pointed with his oven-glove-shaped hands.
No response.
“…”
"Hey, I didn't ask you any century-old questions, so why are you pretending to be dead again? Z01? Jiang Zhi? Well, it seems my boyfriend is dead, which is great. I can find a new lover."
"Human law prohibits looking for a third party when two people are in a relationship. That's called cheating."
"Oh, but you just ignored me. I thought you were dead."
“…I’m sorry, I’m just analyzing the problem.”
Jiang Yuanshi floated in the air, circling on the ceiling like a fish, and asked, "What's the problem?"
Z01 replied: "My mission did not show success."
"So you suspect that I am also from a parallel world, and that's why you ignore me?"
"No, I was just wondering why you didn't agree to pass the mission."
The blue wandering soul was stunned and asked in confusion: "I'm not a god, how can I control the mission?"
Z01: "Didn't you give me this mission?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Yes, but it's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that the time has not come yet. I made a deal with Lord God 404. He said that when the time is right, the task can be completed naturally, but the premise is that we can enter the final world, so I agreed without paying much attention. We are going to die anyway, so we might as well take a gamble before we die."
Z01: "What you said makes sense. Besides... I have another question for you."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Hmm? Ask."
"Excuse me, is your death due to my appearance? Because I disrupted your life."
Jiang Yuanshi raised his eyebrows, finally understanding why this guy had been silent for a long time just now, and even now he was unwilling to show up. He sighed and said, "Isn't the system most proud of data? When did it become so emotional? And it can't be because of you. After all, I met you because I was dying. Don't talk nonsense to me. The Möbius strip and the timeline, you should have seen it. Without your intervention, I would have died in those parallel worlds. And in this world, maybe my original ending was to be burned to death by fire. You saved me and let me come to the Book Bureau, and then... if it succeeds, maybe we will become immortals?"
The host's words were still shocking, which made Z01 feel very relieved. The black and red line extended in front of Jiang Yuanshi and formed a black and red human figure. The blue man poked the black and red guy, and it felt cool like a hand put into water.
Jiang Yuanshi: "Where's your face?"
Z01: "Growing, and so are you."
Jiang Yuanshi said "Oh" and turned his face without facial features towards the other person, getting closer and closer. When their faces were close to each other, he exclaimed: "Wow, my hand hurts! Did you eat my hand?"
The blue figure reached into the chest of the black and red figure and was taking a cool bath inside when he suddenly felt a pain and a piece of his hand was broken off. The missing part was still inside the black and red figure's body and seemed to be being digested.
Z01 looked down, then silently raised a hand and stretched it out in front of Jiang Yuanshi. Jiang Yuanshi asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Give me back your hand."
"I want my natural hand, not yours. And you put it near my mouth. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are really good at eating and taking at the same time."
“…”
The black and red human figure didn't speak, but there was a coil wrapped around his head. The coils kept getting bigger and bigger, and the figure was getting smaller and smaller. It was about to become a complete coil. Jiang Yuanshi was speechless for a moment, grabbed the other person's hand with the heat-insulating gloves, and took a big bite.
Z01's hand was missing a large part, with neat teeth marks on it. While Jiang Yuan was chewing, he saw the other party forming another heart. Unable to bear the sight, he simply reached out and took it off, leaving a hole in the heart.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll give you a bite of icy."
"?" There is still a generation gap between the foreign system and humans, Jiang Yuanshi did not explain. Z01, who could not connect to the Internet at the moment, was confused, but he could use the Internet of this world. The black and red silk thread was pulled out from his body and drilled into the hospital's computer through the gap. He began to search. After getting the answer, Z01 said: "You can't chew the phone."
"Huh? You knew it so quickly?" Jiang Yuanshi was still chewing on the heart. "It's okay, I'm just chewing on the logo. This is an exclusive product of Jiang Yuanshi."
"But you look like you're almost done."
"Well, it's delicious after all."
Jiang Yuanshi turned his eyes away and continued chewing. A heart of love floated over, and soon another one appeared. When Jiang Yuanshi turned his head, he was overwhelmed by the love, and the whole ward suffered.
Where on earth did so much energy come from? Jiang Yuanshi was overwhelmed by the love and didn't know what to do. It took him a long time to crawl out. He grabbed Z01's non-existent collar and asked when he recovered.
Z01 answered honestly, "When you were ten years old, I devoured the resentment you generated. Plus, you made a promise to me. We are already connected in spirit, so the wishes and resentment you emitted were amplified a billion times."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Plus I have the wish power you transferred, so it is equal to 10 billion times two?"
Z01 shook his head. "The wishes and grievances from before should have been almost offset. After all, I did lose more than two-thirds of my strength before. My current strength mainly comes from you."
Jiang Yuanshi opened his nonexistent mouth and felt like his brain cells were dying. He boldly imagined: "Could it be possible that I really became Yuan?"
Z01: "It's possible. After all, you can eat me now. We can eat each other. We can be enemies to some extent."
"Enemy..." Jiang Yuanshi silently bit a piece of the heart, and then slowly said, "In that case, can we not kiss each other? That's not right, now we don't even have the face."
Z01: ?
So is this the point?
But it is indeed a problem.
Jiang Yuanshi thought to himself: "If we kiss together in the future, wouldn't it be like we are biting each other while kissing? Every time we kiss, we both lose a head?"
The thought of two people kissing and then both of them turning into headless people is really outrageous.
But there is no good solution at the moment, after all, the task has not been completed yet.
The two souls lingering in the last world were floating in Jiang Yuanshi's ward, like the spiral device used to drive away mosquitoes in the vegetable market. The patients on the beds had weak but steady vital signs, as if they were hanging on to their last breath, all wrapped like mummies. Jiang Yuanshi didn't care about his food at all, and just kept eating on the ceiling.
The patient was in critical condition last night and had no vital signs, but after a few minutes his heart started beating again, which scared the doctors. It was a medical miracle and everyone was very happy. The only ones who were unhappy were Jiang Yuanshi's parents. They looked at the person inside through the glass with no expression on their faces.
Z01 was always paying attention to the other party, and suddenly remembered something and asked Jiang Yuan: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Yuanshi was enjoying Z01's special love, and asked a questioning "Hmm?" in a very open-minded manner. This puzzled Z01, as he seemed to not care about his parents' existence. Jiang Yuanshi seemed to understand Z01's thoughts and replied, "You mean I saved them, but they locked me in the car and repaid their kindness with hatred, and even slandered me before I died. Why don't I take revenge now?"
"Yes, they should be punished, it was intentional homicide."
"It's a pity that there were no cameras on the highway that day, and there were no other cars, so there is no evidence, but..." Jiang Yuanshi floated in front of the glass and looked at his parents who were lying on the hospital bed. The couple looked very bad, but they still pretended to be moved.
Jiang Yuanshi smiled and continued, "But they were probably too anxious. When they asked someone to remove my oxygen tube last night, they came along too. They were so sad to see me die that they forgot to transfer the money in my bank card to their own account. That was really sad. The bank card in my name was my money. I accidentally made a will and donated all of it. They can't get a penny."
Z01: “But they used your money to buy a house and a car before.”
"Well... I guess you'll have to pay for everything when the time comes. To be honest, it's very strange. Maybe it's because your soul is connected to mine. I seem to have a lot of memories from parallel worlds. If that's really the case, their ending in this world won't be much better. In other words, it's even worse."
As Jiang Yuanshi spoke, Z01 blinked calmly and said bluntly: "You have seen me when I was a child, you should know that I am not a good person. I can do anything to make them care about me. Of course, once I really no longer desire their love, I will only do more immoral things, such as putting some evidence in the notarized will that they abused animals, cheated on each other, plagiarized other people's papers, bullied students and accepted expensive gifts, etc. That was the money I saved bit by bit since I was a child. Ah, and the money of my former gaming partner, they did take it from this world. He came to see me before I died, and I told him to handle it himself. I can accept it."
"Anyway, there are a lot of bad things that have happened. Although they won't go to jail, at least they won't continue to harm students as teachers."
While Jiang Yuanshi was talking, his eyes occasionally turned to where his mother's hand was touching. Z01 floated over and blocked Jiang Yuanshi's sight. Jiang Yuanshi looked up at the other person, whose face was as smooth as the bottom of a pot, which was quite funny.
Jiang Yuanshi did laugh, and said as he laughed: "To be honest, I can't help but have high expectations for them. I clearly saw them standing outside the door watching others come in and pull out my oxygen tube, but I didn't expect the reason was because they had a new child..."
Jiang Yuanshi couldn't help but look at his mother's belly, where a new life was growing, and his mother's expression was more gentle than ever before. Jiang Yuanshi wanted to struggle with the stranger that night, but perhaps because the man was really dying, his hearing became exceptionally good, and he heard his parents talking about the training plan for the next child through the glass.
They said, "We are doing well now and can take better care of the child. It doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, as long as the child is happy."
As long as the children are happy.
What a niche word! Jiang Yuanshi had never heard of it before, nor had he ever been treated like this before.
That day he instantly lost his strength and allowed his fate to perish.
“…”
"You don't need to feel guilty about that kid, after all, he's spending your money."
Z01 carefully reached out and touched the other person's head, and said seriously: "If the mission is successful and you can return to this world, I hope you can allow me to expose their actions and you don't have to bear any responsibility."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't say anything, but slowly leaned his head on the other's shoulder and murmured, "What about you? What are you going to take on?"
Z01 said shamelessly, "I am not a human being, so I am not responsible for human karma. Besides, I did not do anything to harm that life. The punishment that the couple received was caused by themselves. Human society may not sentence you because you are blood relatives. If that happens, we will still lose. They just lost your money, but you lost your life."
"Pfft..." Jiang Yuanshi couldn't help laughing when he heard the last part. He got into Z01's arms and whispered, "I'm in a bad mood now. I want to eat you."
"OK."
"You can eat me too."
"OK."
Above the ward, two souls of different colors melted into each other and were reborn, reborn and melted again, never separated.
As the two souls intertwined, cracks appeared in the ceiling. Everything in the scene instantly turned into fragments. As the world turned blank again, a crack appeared in the sky and a voice rang out:
[Beep——]
[Task: Finding "Jiang Yuanshi" has been completed]
[New mission——beep.]
【Task Pause】
[Today is... God-Slaying Day]
