When Lin Sanjiu walked up alone, Akira Fifty turned around to look at her.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and stood a few meters away from the old man. With the candy she had just eaten, she looked inconspicuous. As expected, the ugly old man did not recognize her. However, when he saw that there was someone at the toll booth, Fifty Akira turned his body slightly to the side as a precaution so that he was facing Lin Sanjiu. He lowered his voice and continued to shout at the NPC, "You are in a hospital!"
"Yeah, so you know that too."
Wei Xing had already been moved away from the counter, and the room had returned to its original state. It was impossible to tell that two NPCs had died here. A new NPC picked at his fingernails and said without looking up, "We are a hospital, not a Frankenstein's laboratory."
"But," Akira Igami waved his hand in frustration, as if he wanted to shatter the other party's words. "You can even make an empty body without any organs come back to life. What's the difference between this and my request?"
The ugly old man was wearing a sweater that was loosely covering his bulging belly. There was nothing abnormal about his body. It was hard for anyone to imagine that his lower back had been sliced open, and his spine had been artificially lengthened until it reached his calves. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shuddering whenever she thought of that look.
"There's a big difference," the NPC looked up from his fingernails and glanced at Akira Fifty's waist. "We can store organs and blood in an empty body, but we need a body, right? You only have your head left, where are we going to find a body for you? "
"Only have my head left?"
Akira Fifty wiped his face. He looked like he was about to explode and cry. He looked like he was at least in his fifties or sixties, and it was highly possible that he had not shed a tear for decades. When his old and ugly face suddenly trembled, it was much more impactful than a young man's tears.
He calmed himself down and spoke in a weak voice as if he was begging, "Think, is there any other way? I … She is my sister. I can't lose her like this …"
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked at the tip of her feet. At the same time, she understood a little, but at the same time, she was even more confused. There was no doubt that Shigeru Shigeru had gotten hold of the last intact body part of Shigeru Shigeru, which was her head. Shigeru Shigeru was trying to find a way to save Shigeru Shigeru's life.
When she left, Fifty Ming could no longer move. He couldn't even be called a person. Lin Sanjiu wasn't proud of her actions. She really had no choice at that time. However, no matter what, Akira Fifty was more like an overused object than a person.
In such a state, how could he come back to life, come to the cashier's office, reinstall his organs, treat his wounds … and even get the heads of Fifty Sails that should have been locked in the room?
"You don't have to worry about the points," Akira Fifty said as he unconsciously curled up his body. It was as if someone had dug a wound in his abdomen and he had to curl up to protect it. "I … I will get enough organs even if I have to risk my life … As long as you can think of a way to save my sister …"
In the next few minutes, the conversation went on in a repetitive loop. The NPC kept saying that Shigeru Shigeru was already dead and that there was nothing they could do other than to slow down the decomposition process. However, Akira Fifty turned a deaf ear to the NPC as if he couldn't understand the language. He kept asking the same question in different ways — 'Shigeru Shigeru is my sister, my family, and I can't let her go. I can't be alone.'
Lin Sanjiu didn't want to listen to him anymore. She turned around and walked back to the alley where Bohemia and Magus were hiding.
"I don't understand," Lin Sanjiu repeated what she heard to Bohemia. As expected, Bohemia had the same doubt. "That's impossible," Lin Sanjiu said a few times, "In that state, he is no different from a dead person! Are there any volunteers in this hospital? Are they specialized in healing the wounded and dying? "
If Lin Sanjiu told Magus everything from the beginning, it would be too much of a waste of time. Besides, Magus wouldn't know the answer anyway. Lin Sanjiu looked at Puppeteer's body, which was still covered by the cloth, and sighed, "It doesn't matter if he comes back to life. If he thinks that we killed Fifty Sails and dares to seek revenge on us, then he can only count himself unlucky. "
Right now, the most important thing for Lin Sanjiu was to heal Puppeteer's body and pay off the debt that they owed him. After that, she would draw her prize and get her next mission objective.
When Fifty Sails finally gave up, he looked as if he had forgotten how to walk. He stumbled and only regained his balance after he stumbled. The few of them stood in the dark and watched him walk away. They didn't know what to feel.
"What do you think happened?" After they confirmed that the surroundings were safe, Bohemia whispered to Lin Sanjiu as they walked to the cashier. "I don't think I'll feel bad if I kill that ugly old man if I have a conflict with him. But his sister is dead. Looking at him like that, I just feel weird … "
"That's sympathy," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. She reached out and patted Bohemia's head. "Just in case, cover your face and stand behind us," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice.
Bohemia nodded. Her fluffy curls tickled her palm.
Magus was controlling Puppeteer's body. His movements were stiff and clumsy, and he even knocked his knee into the counter with a loud thud. Lin Sanjiu quickly held his lower back and asked the NPC, "He needs surgery. Is this the place?"
"Cashier? How can we operate on you?" The male NPC seemed to feel uncomfortable if he didn't seize the opportunity to lecture Lin Sanjiu. "But after you pay the ward fee and the surgery fee, we can arrange it for you. The doctor will be there when the time comes … Hey, you should be in the ICU, right?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened. Magus had told her that the so-called ICU was filled with "glass tubes" that were tightly sealed to prevent patients from getting out. If Lin Sanjiu hadn't destroyed a few corridors and shaken the ICU nearby, causing the "glass tubes" to break off from their original positions, she wouldn't have been able to get out.
The male NPC's eyes were fixed on Lin Sanjiu without moving an inch. Now that the hospital had regained its order, Lin Sanjiu had to find a way to explain what had happened during the chaos and convince the NPC to believe her.
"I …" Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a few seconds. Suddenly, she remembered something mentioned in Puppeteer's admission registration form. An idea popped into her head, "Oh, I'm his family member. I was the one who requested for him to be moved out. The ICU is too expensive. "
The male NPC took some time to digest Lin Sanjiu's words. Finally, he nodded slowly.
"Family member?" he asked again.
Lin Sanjiu blurted out her answer.
"Niece," Lin Sanjiu said as she placed Puppeteer's arm on the counter, "I'm his niece."
"Why are all the patients related to him this time?" The NPC seemed to believe Lin Sanjiu's words. He grumbled as he accepted Puppeteer's points. He was shocked, "Oh? He actually has so many points? Your niece is really good at taking care of her elders. "
"Yes, yes." Lin Sanjiu nodded her head vigorously. Bohemia looked at her as if she was looking at a dead person.
"Alright," the NPC slapped the counter after he was done with his work. "Go back to his ward and wait. The surgeon will be there soon!"
