Save the Family Doctor (Twenty-three)
Gunshots rang out continuously.
The people standing on both sides fell to the ground one after another.
The air was quiet and the black fog stopped suddenly.
After a long time, Fan Dian, who was kneeling on the ground with Li Pu on his back, slowly stood up. The red blood on his clothes faded, and bullets fell off from his shoulders, legs, and abdomen, falling into the sand and disappearing without a trace.
Fan Dian stood up and looked at Jiang Shi who had fallen to the side. The white coat that was pressed down by his body was stained with blood.
He took a quick look, then slowly walked towards the man in black who was kneeling on the ground opposite him, and kicked him to the ground.
The man in black was wearing a mask, and his eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Fan Dian's. Fan Dian reached out and pulled off the mask, revealing the lower half of his face that was burned and looked hideous.
The man in black had empty eyes. Fan Dian snapped his fingers with one hand, and the man's eyes regained their spirit. He looked at Fan Dian with hatred.
Fan Dian stepped on the opponent's knee that was shot. The pain caused it to bounce up and then be pressed back by the invisible gravity, over and over again until the opponent lost his strength.
After watching the clown struggle enough, Fan Dian said slowly: "You really don't give up. I remember that I had already ejected you from my body, but you still found a body for you to enter. But it's a pity. Look at your face now. Guess if Li Pu can recognize who his husband is when he sees you? Oh no——" Fan Dian changed the topic and said with a smile, "I almost forgot. We Li Pu have two husbands. Don't you think so, my dear brother?"
There are two children in the Fan family, the elder brother Fan Tang and the younger brother Fan Dian, Li Pu's deceased ex-husband and current husband.
In the original novel, Fan Tang died of poisoning. There was not much description and he was killed at the beginning of the story.
The "Fan Dian" or Fan Tang who was now on his back had the face of a real villain. He fell to the ground with his face disfigured. Fan Dian spoke with difficulty: "If you kill Jiang Shi, the world will start anew."
Fan Tang was stunned for a moment, then laughed nonchalantly: "Who did you say I killed? Jiang Shi? Wasn't he standing right there?"
Fan Dian looked sideways in surprise. The doctor who had been lying on the ground had stood up at some point. He lowered his head and was slowly wiping his glasses. The youthfulness of a student had faded from his brows. He glanced at him and said, "How long are you going to play?"
Fan Tang shrugged. "Anyway, I have control now, so what if I play around a bit? But you, why don't you come and see your employer?"
Jiang Shi said coldly: "There's no need, he's going to die soon."
Fan Tang: "Yeah, I'm going to die soon."
Fan Dian couldn't believe what he saw. He questioned Fan Tang: "You, controlled him?!"
Fan Tang laughed. "What Li Pu said is true. You are such an idiot. I only killed that outsider. As for this person now, you should know him very well. He is Jiang Shi. You have shared hardships with him many times before."
"Then why?"
"Why? Are you asking why I betrayed you? I'm a truly smart person. If you had agreed to make a deal with me before, you wouldn't have died so many times." Fan Tang felt his back ache after standing for a long time. In front of Fan Dian, he casually pulled the abdominal binder and let Li Pu fall to the ground. Fan Dian struggled angrily: "You!"
Fan Tang patted his back nonchalantly: "What? He's dead. Don't worry, he's not going to die. I'll be his husband from now on. Although the name Fan Dian isn't nice, it's still okay."
Fan Tang playfully stepped on Fan Dian's face. Initially, he was able to move, but with a snap of his fingers, Fan Dian was immobilized again, allowing himself to be crushed. The force of his foot increased, and as if venting his anger, Fan Tang said viciously, "Finally, I've waited for this day. This world is so unfair. There's no place for me, yet I was forced to awaken. I can only watch you, the protagonist, have fun among those faceless NPCs. Why?! Why were you born with everything? And the same goes for Li Pu. Everything I have is mine, yet he gives it all to you!"
Fan Dian's face was stepped into the sand.
"It's all good. God has been kind to me. If you hadn't instigated those outsiders to escape, the world consciousness wouldn't have found me and given me the right to supervise. I'm afraid you don't know this, right? As long as you try to change the plot, the more times you change it, the more evidence I collect, and the greater my power. This time, I really have to thank this outsider. He is the only one willing to spend his willpower. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to occupy your body so easily. I might fail again this time. Thanks to his generosity, I must repay him well."
"How about...let him become part of the black fog. Once it devours his soul, he'll gain eternal life." Fan Tang nervously spread his hands, hugging the air, and turned to look at Jiang Shi. "Doctor Jiang, what do you think of my idea?"
Jiang Shizheng finished wiping his glasses and raised his hand to put them on. His sleeves revealed his pale wrists as he moved. He brushed off the gravel and said, "Whatever you want."
Fan Tang glanced at the motionless snake at the other party's feet and couldn't help but sigh, "This outsider's system seems quite useful, but it's a pity that I can't use it for me. Then I'll just die. It's worth all the effort I put into separating them."
After saying that, Fan Tang looked at Jiang Shi again and said in a commanding tone, "Jiang Shi, crush him to pieces."
Jiang Shi was stunned. Fan Tang said, "I won't control you, so I'll crush him. This is your chance to show your loyalty."
Jiang Shi lowered his eyes, said nothing, and looked calm. Without hesitation, he raised his foot, stepped on the snake, and crushed it repeatedly. The snake's body was half submerged in the sand, revealing a little red tip of its tail. Fan Tang looked at it with a satisfied smile.
Fan Tang was immersed in revenge. The wind blew the waves and raised dust, blowing it into the woods behind him and into the black fog.
The black fog... is full of people.
When Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes again after fainting, a bunch of black, translucent faces without facial features came into view.
He nearly fainted again.
The scream was stuck inside and I couldn't let it out. I felt... nothing was wrong.
Jiang Yuanshi touched the position of his heart, very calm. He raised his hand, with his shorter fingers, and looked down at the trees.
He called the system in his mind, but as expected, the connection was disconnected.
Surprisingly, Jiang Yuanshi found that he was no longer like before, floating up like a balloon uncontrollably. Instead, he could control his body to float and move slightly.
He looked around and saw that he was surrounded by black figures.
Who says it’s pitch black in the fog and you can’t see clearly? You can even see the person behind through this face.
Face after face is more identical face.
They surrounded him like wandering souls, turning wherever he moved. Even though they had no facial features, Jiang Yuanshi could still feel their gazes.
At this speed, anyone who passes by will be dead.
I have to say that Mr. Fan was quite nice. He let him watch the whole process of what happened before sending him away.
But the other party's tone sounded like he had already determined that he had been swallowed by the black fog and couldn't figure it out.
There were too many things Jiang Yuanshi couldn't figure out. World consciousness and the bookstore didn't sound like they were on the same front.
Jiang Yuanshi also didn't understand why Fan Tang was so happy to be the protagonist. Could it be that he could guarantee that the ending wouldn't be death? Or could he just move on freely?
You can't just die repeatedly for a short period of wealthy life, right?
Jiang Yuanshi was helpless and focused his attention on this group of NPC figures that looked like those on the streets and in the supermarket.
"Excuse me, where are you from?" People can do anything when they have nothing to do. Jiang Yuanshi chose to communicate with the other party directly.
Humanoid NPCs: ...
Jiang Yuanshi sighed: "I'm crazy too. If there is a response, it must be weird."
However, the next second, the ghost really appeared.
The black fog became thicker and thicker, and the human figures began to be covered. The human figures stained by the black fog turned from translucent to completely black. This process was slow, like thick ink dripping into water, or like a monster gnawing at them.
The humanoid made a hoarse "hehe" sound and finally bit the next person.
It was time to run away, but Jiang Yuanshi's speed was no match for the speed of the fog.
Without any external help, he is just an ordinary dead soul.
The black fog was getting closer and closer. When Jiang Yuanshi was helpless, the human figures that had not moved yet began to move.
When they got close to Jiang Yuan, they arched their bodies against his back.
They were pushing him forward. One human figure was moving very slowly, but many souls formed a long queue, one supporting another. Jiang Yuanshi was at the front, and the human figures behind were being swallowed up one by one.
Then the next one became the last.
The beach appeared in Jiang Yuanshi's sight, and the murmurs from the human figure's mouth filled his mind.
“Run…run…run…”
"Don't, be the next..."
Hope was right before his eyes. Jiang Yuanshi turned around and watched them disappear one by one. What Jiang Yuanshi didn't know while frowning and staring was that his facial features were really falling off and the curve of his body was melting bit by bit. If he could see the reflection of the sea, he would find that he was about to become one of them.
Jiang Yuanshi turned his head, and the next second, the blue sea was covered by black fog, and there was nothing behind Jiang Yuanshi. When he turned around, there was no one behind him.
He was the only one left in the fog, or perhaps... he would also become black fog.
He looked at his hands and couldn't help sighing, "This is a really novel way to die."
If this time cannot be repeated, then it will be Jiang Yuanshi’s second death.
What does it feel like before death?
He had no idea the first time, and he had no idea now.
I just feel a little sorry for Z01. I hope he can find a more reliable host if the system is still alive.
Jiang Yuanshi's vision turned black.
Everything became quiet.
Is death so quiet? But why can he still think?
"Are you sure you can kill him this time?"
"About a 70% chance. Even if I can't kill it, I can at least make it peel off a layer of skin."
Who is speaking?
The sound of the void came clearly into Jiang Yuanshi's ears.
"I told you not to be so anxious. We've been waiting for so many years. If you acted on your own this time with that half-man, half-stretched thing on your back and didn't kill it, we would be forever inferior to it."
"I already said that if he can't be killed, then he can't be killed. Besides, can you guarantee that he will definitely die after all these years of planning? It's a waste of so much willpower on him. I'm just giving it a try this time. If it succeeds, I can save money. If it doesn't, at most I'll just waste a novice world, oh, and a human host."
"Their death buys another chance at testing. If it succeeds, they'll be considered contributors. Then, if they're truly held accountable, they can spend some willpower to rebuild the system. That human's memory will be wiped clean and they'll become the system, and everyone will be happy. In short, any opportunity to kill them must be taken."
"That Z01 has lived too long. It's time to die."
