Save the Family Doctor (XVIII)
"My data doesn't tell me why. Could you please give me an answer?"
"If you don't know, how should I know?"
Jiang Yuanshi found that ever since the system popped up, there were some more emotional fluctuations in the original joking human-machine feeling. He didn't know whether this was good or bad for the mission, but at least now the other party didn't seem to be discussing with him in a good mood.
Even after Z01 transformed into a human form, his expression was still unrecognizable. He looked at everything with the expression "This is a thing". In his eyes, there was no difference between living and dead things. When his dark eyes were brought close together, dark red substance moved between his pupils. Jiang Yuanshi felt dizzy when he saw this. It was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had encountered such a situation before.
Jiang Yuanshi put his hand on the cold chest and pushed the man away: "I think it's better for us to keep a little distance."
Z01 lowered his head. He was wearing the same white shirt and black pants as Jiang Yuanshi. The difference was that Jiang Yuanshi's arms, where his shirt was half-rolled up, were very white. This was partly due to his natural whiteness, and partly due to his host's habit of not going out and not liking the sun for years. The blue veins were clearly visible. His arms were slender, his wrist bones were prominent, and his fingers were——
It should be slender, with distinct joints, and be able to be used as a template for online graphics.
But because of the soul sacrifice in the first world, the tips of all ten fingers are gone, and a part of the finger is missing. The cross-section is round, like a puppet without knuckles, with a strange beauty.
Z01's eyes rolled around.
【Scan completed, recorded】
Jiang Yuanshi also heard the voice. He frowned and looked at Z01: "What are you doing?"
Z01 calmly replied, "Your status is being recorded."
"Record what I do? As a guide for human observation?"
As expected of Jiang Yuanshi, he guessed it right away.
Z01 nodded in acknowledgment. He had met very few humans, and while they weren't ideal partners, their diversity was worth documenting. He knew humans didn't like being monitored or having their privacy recorded, so he explained his reasons to the host and sought permission. "This is my record. If it offends you, you can delete it now."
The light screen was brought to Jiang Yuanshi's eyes. The first page had large bold letters reading "Human Observation Manual - Jiang Yuanshi."
Z01 waited for the host's review. According to the data, the probability of the host being angry was 89.99%. The most likely behavior of the host was to demand that everything be deleted while ordering himself to stop such behavior, or even to attack the system.
It is prepared for the results of all simulation calculations.
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes and glanced at the screen, then raised his hand and returned the screen to Z01.
Z01 holding the light screen:?
Jiang Yuanshi breathed a sigh of relief, his previous anger seemingly disappearing. Z01 asked, "Don't you want to take a look?"
Jiang Yuanshi raised his eyes to glance at Z01 and said expressionlessly, "No need to watch anymore. As long as you're happy."
The host returned to a state of calm and emotionless state. Z01: "Do you mean to grant permission?"
Jiang Yuanshi said "hmm".
Z01, still ungrateful, asked, "Why? As a human being, wouldn't you find it offensive?"
Jiang Yuanshi chuckled: "You know the offense is recorded, right? It's up to you, just don't let me see it."
Jiang Yuanshi felt that his lower body was still soft and numb, and he had no strength. He wondered why his soul body was still in the same state as if it were alive. He groped his way to the air wall of the white space and sat down cross-legged against the wall.
Z01 followed closely behind, holding the light screen, and then squatted on one knee in front of Jiang Yuanshi. An expression of confusion appeared on his face, and he frowned and stared at Jiang Yuanshi.
"I've agreed, what else do you want to do?"
"I don't understand why you agree with my behavior without looking at anything or asking anything."
The system is always like this, no matter what you do, you have to have a reason.
"You really need a reason?"
"Yes, I would like to know."
Seeing the other party's persistence, Jiang Yuanshi sighed, leaned his head against the air wall and asked lazily: "Then let me ask you, did you do that on purpose yesterday just to observe humans?"
Z01 answered without hesitation: "No, my original intention was to help."
Jiang Yuanshi shrugged: "Then I agree. At least you don't treat me as a complete disregard for your humanity, nor do you do that kind of thing on purpose for observation."
Z01 got the answer: "Actually, there is."
Jiang Yuanshi: “?”
Jiang Yuanshi's eyes widened involuntarily, then furrowed their brows. Z01's expressionless face was reflected in his dark, bright eyes. Z01 explained seriously, "I initially wanted to help you solve your problem, but something went wrong. Your passionate expression is rare, or rather, worth recording. I admit that the number of times you released excesses actually exceeded the drug's effectiveness. I was curious about human limits, so I apologize for causing your coma. However, the data proves that your body is—hmm."
Z01's words stopped abruptly. He looked forward along the hand covering his mouth. The host had a look of glaring, gritting his teeth, and his ears were crimson.
The inhuman frankness was really shameful and shocking, impacting Jiang Yuanshi's brain. He explained why his lower body seemed to be paralyzed.
"That's enough, shut up! If you keep saying that, I'll delete all your data and beat you up. Do you understand?"
“Mmmmm.” The system understood and nodded obediently.
Jiang Yuanshi slowly withdrew his hand suspiciously, then wiped the moisture from his palm on Z01: "What are you looking at? It's all yours, produced and sold by yourself."
Z01 tactfully didn't argue further, but simply said, "Excuse me, do you need me to take the things down?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Withdraw what?"
Z01: "Don't you feel anything?"
Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled and shook his head slowly.
Z01 lowered his head and looked downward, and Jiang Yuanshi followed his gaze.
"Since your frequency was too high by the end of last night, which was detrimental to your physical and mental health, I took some external measures to control your frequency."
Z01's tone was as calm as if he was asking what they were having for dinner tonight. Jiang Yuanshi felt as if he had been fried in a frying pan. He took a deep breath and said, "So the reason I'm paralyzed and unconscious now is because of... what you put there?"
Jiang Yuanshi's hand was pointing in the air at his lower body. He understood what was said, but at this moment he wished he was illiterate.
"So you're unconscious?" Z01 didn't understand the host's gnashing of teeth as he emphasized the word "you." He simply began to analyze, "Your numbness is probably due to excessive frequency last night, and has nothing to do with what I put in there. To be more precise, the external object may have helped reduce your numbness."
Communicating with people outside of the group was really tiring. Jiang Yuanshi chuckled twice, "But in the final analysis, it's all because of you."
Z01 blinked. "Yes, I will take responsibility for you."
Jiang Yuanshi: "No need to thank me, just take it down for me."
"Okay." Z01 extended his hand forward. Jiang Yuanshi looked at his hand in confusion. "What are you doing?"
"I'll take it down for you."
"Can't you just click Undo in your system?"
"I'm sorry, there was an emergency last night, so the physical objects used were not completely virtual."
Jiang Yuanshi: “……………………”
Jiang Yuanshi stretched out his hand, palm facing outward, and made a stop gesture: "Stop, then I'll do it myself."
"Okay, I understand." Z01 withdrew his hand and returned to his original position. He looked at his host, Jiang Yuanshi, with a puzzled look on his face. "No, shouldn't you go somewhere else at this time? Don't look at anything inappropriate. Thank you."
Z01 blinked again. "But you agreed to let me record you."
Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath. "Let me correct you. This doesn't involve privacy. Please go somewhere else. Also, where is this? Is this the space you used to live in? Is there a dressing room? If not, just find a cover to cover me."
"Yes, this is my space, but I'm sorry, host, I don't rest, so there's nothing." Z01 customer service replied. Jiang Yuanshi's face darkened, and his eyes were full of resentment. Z01 changed the subject, "There's no cover, but I can separate a small space for you to use."
After he finished speaking, a black rectangle slowly rose in the center of the white space.
"You may go in. A shielding barrier has been set up. No creature can see."
Jiang Yuanshi struggled to get up, dragging his paralyzed body in and out again. After making sure he couldn't see, he was about to go in again when Z01 asked, "Aren't you sure I can see?"
Jiang Yuanshi said expressionlessly, "Your territory, you can probably see it even if you peel your eyes. I don't care. Can't I just cover my ears and steal the bell? Can you just shut up?"
"..." Z01 raised his hand for instructions. "Alright, host. One last question. Do you really not need help? After all, you may not be able to remove this item."
Jiang Yuanshi was so shocked that he said, "I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll just cut it off. My finger is gone anyway, so this thing is useless."
After saying that, he turned around and went in, leaving the system with chaotic data petrified in space.
The air was quiet, and dark red matter swam freely on the surface of the black cuboid.
"Z01! You bastard!" Jiang Yuanshi's angry curses echoed throughout the space. The wandering matter suddenly disappeared. Jiang Yuanshi stuck his head out and looked at the culprit with gritted teeth, "The external object you are talking about is a snake?!"
"Yes, you should be familiar with it."
God damn, that's so familiar.
It's so cooked that I want to die.
"Then why are you still standing there as a human? Didn't you say you only have one skin?"
"Host, this is my space, so I can separate myself."
The black space fell silent. Just as Z01 was about to ask, Jiang Yuanshi's voice rang out, "Come in."
Z01 walked over and asked, "Is there anything you need?"
"I can't take it apart..." I was shocked when I first saw the snake and was shaking all over. I didn't know if it was out of fear or anger. I tried to dismantle it carefully at first but couldn't. In the end, I started to pull it hard, and the snake that looked dead seemed to wake up. It held its tail and turned around its lower body. It was great that it couldn't be taken apart at all.
The systems are all black-hearted, just like this space, white with black.
Jiang Yuanshi's tone was filled with despair: "Tell your snake clone to let go of me..."
