"Hehe ..." Han Yimo smiled bitterly, "Dr. Zhao, you're overthinking it. As a fiction writer, the last thing I want to talk about is my own work ... If I have some free time, I want to forget everything in my work for a while and let myself relax."
"Then talk about something else!" Dr. Zhao was already slowly sewing up the wound, but the wound was round, and sewing it up was more complicated than normal wounds, he fixed his mind and asked again, "Tell me, how do you usually relax yourself besides writing?"
"I ... will play games."
Dr. Zhao nodded, "That's great, I also play games when I'm off work, what games do you play?"
Han Yimo's thinking was now very slow due to the loss of blood, and after a long time he said, "There's a female ninja in League of Legends ... called 'Akali', I really like this character."
"Oh?" Dr. Zhao smiled, "That's quite a coincidence, I also play League of Legends and I also like Akari."
Although he spoke in a smooth tone, everyone could see that his hands were trembling slightly, after all, after so many years of practicing medicine, this was the first time he had stitched up a wound without anesthesia and with the patient awake. Now it wasn't clear if he really liked the role or simply wanted to follow Han Yimo's conversation.
"Dr. Zhao, do you like Akali too?" Han Yimo nodded feebly, "I'm fascinated by everything about Akari ... this female ninja called 'Fist of Shadows', and I have a feeling that her backstory is also ..."
The movement of Dr. Zhao's hand stopped slightly, then caressed Han Yimo's face and asked, "Han Yimo, can you see me?"
"Hmm?" Han Yimo didn't know why Dr. Zhao suddenly asked this question and could only reply, "I can see you ..."
"Who am I?"
"You're Dr. Zhao ..."
Dr. Zhao nodded again after hearing this and said, "Han Yimo, you're already hallucinating now, so make sure to stay awake."
"Hallucination?" Han Yimo felt that her current state was fairly normal and didn't understand what Dr. Zhao meant by that, "Aren't I having a normal chat with you? How could I be hallucinating ..."
"It should be a symptom of excessive blood loss, your brain's blood supply is insufficient. Like what you said about Akali, her hero title is called 'Outlier's Thorn', not 'Shadow Fist'."
"Outlier's Thorn?" Han Yimo narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but hesitate a bit, he had never heard of this name before, could this be the cause of the hallucination as well?
Qiao Jiajin poked Qi Xia from the side and asked, "Liar, what are they talking about?"
"I don't know." Qi Xia shook her head, "I don't play games, I can't understand."
"I did play video games." Qiao Jiajin skimmed his mouth, "But I haven't heard of this game they're talking about ah, is this hero or something versus game more interesting than 'Legend of the Hungry Wolf' ..."
Not wanting to get involved in this topic, Qi Xia walked aside and found a clean rock to sit on.
He was thinking about another matter.
The chat between Han Yimo and Dr. Zhao was also silent, presumably because Han Yimo was having too many hallucinations, causing the chat to not go on at all.
The atmosphere of the crowd grew silent.
Ringo realized that he couldn't help much, so he sat down next to Qi Xia.
"What are you thinking about?" Ringo asked.
Zixia twisted her head and looked at Ringo with a cold expression.
"That's the second time you've asked me 'what's on my mind'." Zixia said, "Do you ask your patients that bluntly every time you do counseling?"
"But you're not my patient." Ringo shook his head, "We don't refer to counselors as 'patients' either, that's rude. I'm simply curious as to what is in the head of someone as intelligent as you?"
"Loaded with my wife." Zixia spoke with a despondent expression.
"Your wife?" Ringo nodded silently, "Earlier you said that someone was waiting for you outside, was that person your wife?"
"Yes." Zixia nodded.
Ringo smiled slightly, "I didn't guess that was the answer, so you're already married?"
"Why can't I be married?" Zixia felt as if Ringo had something to say.
"I don't mean to offend you. But you're a liar, and what kind of person is your wife?"
"What do you ..." Zixia, in a rare moment of some anger, stood up slowly, his eyes icy cold, "mean? I'm a liar, so the person who can marry me will only be a truther, is that right?"
"Huh? I ... "Ringo was shocked by Qi Xia's aura, "I really didn't mean to offend, I'm just curious ..."
"I advise you not to be curious about me." Zixia remained icy, "I'm a liar, and what I say won't be the truth."
The chat between the two ended unhappily, but Ringo's expression didn't seem to care.
Dr. Zhao's end had also finally stitched up the wound.
"That's almost it ..." said Dr. Zhao as he wiped the blood from his hands, "We've done all we can do for now, next we can only hope the wound doesn't get infected."
"Thank you ..." Han Yimo's lips were pale as he slowly said to Dr. Zhao.
Seeing everything come to an end, Qi Xia slowly stood up and said to the crowd, "Everyone, it's time to say goodbye."
The remaining eight people revealed doubts when they heard these words.
Farewell?
"Where are you going?" Qiao Jiajin asked.
"That's none of your business." Qi Xia looked at the restaurant across the street in thought.
"You're not really going to the Tao, are you?!" Officer Li froze for a moment.
"What? What's your instruction?" Zixia seemed to acquiesce to the answer.
"With all due respect, you're sending yourself to death." Officer Li shook his head helplessly, "Three thousand six hundred 「Dao」! What is the concept of three thousand six hundred 「Dao」? If you can obtain a 「Dao」 every time, you'll have to clear three thousand six hundred of those previous near-death games!"
"Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "Sounds like the chances are very slim, but there is still hope, right?"
"There is hope?" Officer Li sighed, "Ten days, three thousand six hundred games, an average of three hundred and sixty a day. Even if you go through the games without doing anything every day, this time is still far from enough. Not to mention that you will die in the game at any time, but if you do nothing, you will die only after ten days."
After saying that he paused and added, "And this 'death' is based on the fact that what the 'Human Dragon' said is completely true. In other words, we won't necessarily die after ten days, and this place won't necessarily be destroyed. He won't necessarily let you out even if you find all 3,600 『Dao』."
"I understand the reasoning." Qi Xia interrupted Officer Li and said, "But I'm not prepared to wait here. Even if I just go out and turn around, it's much better than staying here."
"But you ... "Officer Li was still about to argue something with Qi Xia when the door to the staff lounge opened with another 'creak'.
The crowd turned their heads to look, and the female clerk from before walked out.
She was naked, her mouth was covered in grease stains, she was clutching something in her hands, and her parched body seemed to be nothing more than a skeleton.
Zhang Chenze frowned slightly and took off his lady's suit before walking up and draping it over her body.
She turned her head to look at the several men, her face slightly angry, ''What the hell did you several grown men do when you entered the room? Where did this girl's clothes go?"
Qiao Jiajin shook his head helplessly and said, "This can't be explained in a moment, I advise you to leave her alone as well."
"You're so nice." The shopgirl's eyes looked straight at the clothes draped over her body, and then at Zhang Chenze, "It's a pity that you're not a man, or else I would definitely sleep with you."
"Sleep?" Zhang Chenze was startled by this girl, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Since I can't sleep, I'll give you this to eat ..."
She spread out her dirty hand, which held a baby's arm that had already been cooked.
