Save the Family Doctor (16)
A finger stood straight up, with distinct joints and intact skin.
There was no sign of a snake bite.
Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled: "System, where did you bite? I remember it was this finger."
Z01: "Yes, on your fingers."
Jiang Yuanshi put his index finger in front of the system: "What about the teeth marks?"
Z01, who was fingered in the face, said calmly, "It's on your finger, not the original owner's."
Jiang Yuanshi narrowed his eyes and said weakly, "It's amazing! I've only heard of shooting an ox from across a mountain, but now there's even the one that bites the soul through flesh."
Z01: …
"Why don't you have that kind of antidote card here?"
"I'm sorry, I'll report this to my superiors."
It takes too much willpower to be in good condition, and it's a waste to use it on this. The acceleration card can only speed up the plot, and you still have to suffer what you have to suffer. I wanted to use the acceleration card and the sleep card together, but unfortunately there is no such good thing in the world. In this forced plot, you can only use one at a time.
He actually laughed.
This novice world is equivalent to complete confinement for Jiang Yuanshi. It is not as good as the previous world, but the previous world is not much better. It can only be said that every world has its own problems.
What exactly did Chuanshuju optimize? They just make money but don't do anything.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had never taken Chinese medicine before, always felt that the early effects of the medicine were like having a fever. His whole body began to feel hot, his hands and feet began to feel weak, and his head... He reached out and touched it. It was okay. He could heat up a small piece of bread for now, and he would probably be able to fry an egg later.
Add some bacon and lettuce when the time comes.
A simple sandwich would be just fine.
I almost imagined myself hungry Jiang Yuanshi taking out the medicine box, skillfully preparing the medicine, rolling up my sleeves, the needle tip flashing a strange light under the lamp, and it was really creepy to hit myself.
He glanced at the system snake, but the snake couldn't give the injection. Jiang Yuanshi's brain started to burn, and he forgot that the system could actually do things for people. He took a deep breath, found a good place to start, gritted his teeth and stabbed it, closed his eyes, and coaxed himself to finish the injection.
He pressed the cotton against the needle hole and stood up, almost talking to himself, saying, "System, I need to exchange a card...exchange a card..."
The quiet Z01 then spoke: "Host, this matter is caused by me, what do you need me to do?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuanshi's eyelids felt heavy and hot, "You...you..."
Z01 waited patiently. Jiang Yuanshi squinted at the system for a long time and said, "What can a little snake like you do? Go play by yourself, and... don't follow me."
Jiang Yuanshi was obviously confused due to the fever, and his face was cold and kept people at a distance.
Z01 did not listen to the patient's words. He walked to Jiang Yuanshi's footsteps and followed his slow pace. Then, a prompt sound came from the system library, indicating that the host had redeemed the function card.
Two sleeping cards valid for up to 4 hours, no sleeping pills.
Z01 followed him but found that the other party's destination was not the bedroom, but the bathroom.
Jiang Yuanshi was seen cleaning the bathtub slowly but methodically, filling it with water and lowering the baffle on one side of the bathtub.
There was no mist on the surface of the bathtub, and the water was cold.
Z01: "Host, the human body is susceptible to illness when exposed to cold water for extended periods of time."
"This is plan B, in case the card doesn't work. By the way, why are you here? I told you not to follow me."
After Jiang Yuanshi had fixed everything, he turned and left. His eyes caught sight of the system snake, and he bent down to grab it. His body swayed and he almost fell to the ground, but he managed to steady himself at the moment his knees hit the ground. He stood up with the help of the wall, left the bathroom, and walked into the bedroom like a zombie, pulling himself under his own strength. After placing the snake on another pillow, he threw himself to the center of the bed, pulled the quilt with great effort, and suddenly fell into his pillow.
[Sleep Card x1 used]
The young man on the bed said good night to the air and closed his eyes peacefully, waiting to wake up again when everything would be calm again.
Unfortunately, the sleep of the body does not represent the soul.
Jiang Yuanshi, who was ejected from his body, floated on the ceiling speechlessly. He became even more desperate after discovering that the function cards he had not used were gray and could not be lit up.
"Z01, why doesn't this card work? Wasn't it working before?"
Z01 Snake looked up at the host and replied, "Host, the function cards used by the soul body require souls to redeem. Willpower cannot be born from dead things."
The ghost on the ceiling who had been trying to hang himself with resentment seemed to have lost all his strength and means. After a moment of silence, he sighed, and as if accepting his fate, he arched his back outwards along the ceiling.
"Host, what do you need to do? I can help you." Z01 tried to help but was ruthlessly interrupted by Jiang Yuanshi. The ruthless host was furious after he couldn't get out of the door, so he simply used all four limbs to crawl along the darkness of the ceiling, walked straight, turned left, and entered the bathroom.
Jiang Yuanshi, who was lying on the bathroom ceiling, said, "The system has a job for you now, come and help!"
After the soul body floated away, the whole tone was floating.
Z01, who had come to live, obediently entered the bathroom: "What host do you need me for?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "I remember you could touch me, right? Pull me down and put me in the bathtub."
Z01: "But cold water has a negative effect on the human body—"
Jiang Yuanshi: "I'm already dead, not even a human, but a ghost. Please hurry up, or I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
The logic seemed nonsensical, and Z01 was stunned by it, but he still did it.
The little snake's body began to stretch infinitely, reaching up and wrapping around the host's wrist. The soul body had no temperature. Even though the host had generated its own skin from the initial vague human form, it was just a ghost with a resolution of 720p.
The blue soul body was entangled by the black and red snake and pulled down, as if pulling a human-shaped balloon.
When the baffle was pulled to the position, Jiang Yuanshi climbed in swiftly. The baffle was only half the size of the bathtub. The host was completely submerged in the water, with his head against the baffle, looking quite pitiful and sad. "Okay, thank you, you can go out now."
"Host, I can help you."
"Help me with what? Can you clear it for me with one click?"
"cannot."
"That's fine, don't keep helping me. It was forced into the plot and they had to find a loophole, and it just happened to take advantage of yours. It's not your fault. Just help me pull it down. You've already helped me, now just leave me alone. Thank you and goodbye."
Jiang Yuanshi spoke much slower than before, his upper teeth sticking to his lower teeth as if he had eaten sticky candy. He repeated several times in a slightly vague manner that he wanted to be alone.
Seeing the host was so tough, Z01 turned around and left, closing the door obediently.
The bathroom fell silent, but Jiang Yuanshi didn't dare to relax. Even though he was groggy, he gritted his teeth and said nothing. He tried to go down but pulled back halfway, closing his eyes and waiting for time to pass.
Z01 couldn't understand.
Humans are the most prolific species, and their desires are endless, so why is the host so resistant to this?
Even as a system, Ta cannot understand that the system is more like a mixture of various creatures than humans. They speak frankly and do not hide their desires. It is normal for them to release such things.
Z01, who was standing next to the door, checked the host's current physical condition. It was obvious that the potion had no effect on the soul.
It's also strange. They are both medicines, but the banned drugs are effective while the detoxifying drugs are ineffective. Is this because of the forced plot?
One of the host's indicators kept turning red.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door in the quiet room.
"Host, you need to solve your own problems. You can't just kill time."
No one responded, but judging from the test, the host is still awake, probably unconscious.
Jiang Yuanshi, who was already delirious from the fever, huddled in a corner, his body was filled with restlessness, his hands and feet were weak, and there was darkness all around him. His mind was not clear, but he felt like a roast duck stuffed in a big iron barrel.
Being suspended in the air, it can still swing back and forth.
"Host, please don't move."
who?
Jiang Yuanshi's head was dizzy. He squinted his eyes for a long time before he could see the person coming. Z01 had turned into a human being at some point. He put his hands into his armpits and lifted him up. There was no ripple on the water.
Jiang Yuanshi was exhausted but didn't want anyone to see him in such a state of disgrace: "Get out..."
"Host, if you can handle it yourself, I will leave."
"……OK."
"Then hit me first." Z01 said as he placed the host on the baffle and clamped the soul's legs with his legs to prevent it from floating away.
What a strange request! Jiang Yuanshi said, "You...are sick."
"I need to judge whether you are capable of self-relief based on the force of your blows."
"..." Jiang Yuanshi didn't answer. The two of them remained silent for a long time. Finally, Jiang Yuanshi gave in and said in self-deprecation, "I don't have the ability or the strength, okay? What on earth do you want to do?"
Z01 said seriously, "This happened because of me. I will help you."
"Help, help, help! You're such a fool... What exactly do you want to help me with? Help me with my pussy?"
Jiang Yuanshi no longer cared about anyone, and he didn't consider himself a human being. He spoke bluntly. If the system was ashamed, he might just leave on his own. Unexpectedly, the system nodded, reached out and began to unbutton the clothes of a soul body.
Jiang Yuanshi was dazed, but at this moment, as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water, he immediately sobered up and tried to stop the other party, pressing his arm with one hand: "I'm just talking, are you serious? Wait a minute, I can do it myself, let go! Are you going to take care of me from above or below, or me as a whole?"
The system responded with a nonsensical response: "Are you insecure about being weightless?"
"W-what? Uh... a little bit, no, let go."
"Okay, I understand." Z01 nodded and let go of Jiang Yuanshi. Jiang Yuanshi looked at the system and took a step back. Red mist appeared in its black pupils. The next second, a piece of white appeared under Z01's feet, swallowing up the entire bathroom like a living thing, leaving only empty white.
Jiang Yuanshi seemed to be floating at first, but he seemed to have regained his weight. Upon closer inspection, he seemed to have regained his solid body. He stepped on the ground, but just as he stood firm, he fell to the ground due to weakness. He was picked up halfway.
"Am I a fish? You keep trying to catch me..."
"You have the energy to make jokes, but why don't you have the energy to solve your own problems?"
"...I can, I can, I can do it myself, okay, goodbye, thank you."
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuanshi's words failed to dissuade the system from proceeding. Z01 said calmly, "It's too late. The test analysis shows that you don't have the strength to continue."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't know whether it was because he had truly regained his physical form or because he had left the bathtub, but he felt his fever getting worse. His remaining sanity told him to escape quickly and hide away in a deserted place, but he didn't have the chance.
Jiang Yuanshi was forcibly trapped by the system. They sat on the white ground, and Z01 held the host tightly in his arms. The host was very disobedient and struggled frantically when his back was pressed against the system.
Just like a live fish that falls into a hot pan and is scalded all over, how can you make the fish calm down?
Just imprison him in a small space and slowly wear away his mind.
By then, the opponent would be obedient. Z01 stretched out forcefully downwards, and Jiang Yuanshi was unable to resist and was completely defeated.
“You…let go!”
Z01 was very easy to talk to. The host's furry head rubbed against his neck, making it itchy. He just said okay and let go of his hand. When Jiang Yuanshi thought he had escaped death, his own hand was pulled over and the big hand brought him up.
"Then you can do it yourself."
"……I"
"You're out of strength, aren't you?" Z01's hand gently pressed against the host's, holding it together. "Let me help you."
"No... um." Jiang Yuanshi's words were interrupted by his movements. He had long lost his strength and was like a puppet, but he still maintained his consciousness. The hot, irresistible toughness and strength made him infatuated, and finally the strings were broken, like a cub that had lost its nest and was looking for a safe habitat.
Z01 adjusted his body temperature to be very cool, while the host felt very hot. His sweat-soaked hair rubbed against his shoulders unbearably, and his soft skin occasionally left moisture on the system's skin.
Humans are truly fragile and stubborn. Random movements can cause them to tremble again and again, but they are unwilling to make any sound, only letting out a faint breath inadvertently.
This makes Z01 even more curious: where are the limits of human beings? What will happen after the thrill?
The void of nothingness has no end in sight and no sense of time.
Only the number of times the host trembled was recorded in Z01's mind, and it had not stopped yet.
