His expression relaxed somewhat as the military Hummer approached and that familiar old man descended from inside.
He was on the alert from the very beginning, ever since he was born.
He doesn't trust his family members, would he trust the hospital, which is a public place?
His sleep was always light, and when he doubted the slightest thing, he felt that he was one step closer to being paranoid. But thanks to this prudence, he had barely managed to save himself as soon as he could smell the smoke.
Otherwise, his soul would now be being questioned by angels in the grave!
He slowly straightened up, leaning on the trash.
The fire was already extinguished, and the quiet hospital was plunged into darkness.
As I guessed.
A deliberate arson case indeed.
The hospital is empty, there is no servant of God. With him alone, could his motives be any clearer than that?
"System, tell me my body temperature"
[Hay hay* sir~ 38.2°]
I have a serious fever, no wonder I feel like I'm on fire.
I ran away from the fire and fell into the arms of the fire again!
My clothes are hospital clothes, also in thin form. I also got wet with cold water to protect myself from the flames and not get burned.
Halim is hot.
Although the cold water protected me from the fire, the cool hours of the night hit me hard after I left the hospital.
It has been 3 days since I woke up, this body, which has been weakened for years, could not recover itself, and it seemed like I would not be able to get out of bed for a long time.
A sick body... I'm not used to it at all!
"System, start a detailed body scan and report to me as soon as possible"
[Okay~]
He turned his back again. Firefighters were preparing to enter the hospital, apparently to save him.
He looked at the military vehicle.
His eyes darkened.
They will not get in front of them that easily.
Such a powerful family, one of the richest in the country, too weak to even give 1 bodyguard... they don't care.
And it never stops where it is not wanted!
Slightly retracted from the trash, easy to hide from the night, taking advantage of it.
He limped forward.
As if she was absorbed by the night, she didn't stand out even though she was wearing white.
It disappeared slightly from there.
***
"System, you owe me an explanation?"
"Feel"
He took a deep breath from the pain as he leaned against the bank.
[Hi! I am a high-level system! And I made a deal with your soul~~~]
[Actually, the deal was made when you died, but I couldn't gather strength because I was out of energy]
[Now... Sir, let me briefly introduce myself to you. I am another among many known systems. Each system exists for a task and a role, and the person they deal with must act by the task]
"Continue"
He felt his body shiver even though he was not a system body.
Was it just him, or did his eyes just get darker? No, no, how could it be? He must have misunderstood as it was the night!
The system put its thoughts aside and collected itself and continued.
[I am... my aim as a system...]
It seemed hard to say.
[Villain in fiction]
"..."
stop!
Bad characters have no good endings!!
And he's not at all interested in being vicious, or lazy! Very lazy!
"Well ??"
Explain more!!
[Ugh... Sir, it's like...]
[To explain to you briefly, your lifespan is short and you have to complete quests to extend your lifespan]
"..."
[If you want to live]
He said emphatically.
"..."
What kind of threat does it sound like?
