Before Lin Sanjiu left the cashier's counter and went to look for Puppeteer's new ward, she did not forget about other trivial matters. The few of them had transferred some extra points from Puppeteer and Bohemia to Lin Sanjiu by exchanging passes. Aside from being able to pay off her debt when she was discharged from the hospital, she was still missing her left hand and a kidney.
After Lin Sanjiu applied the [Lava Wound Repair Ointment] on her skin, she watched as the color of her skin and flesh started to spread from the stump of her left wrist. It was as if a painter who knew her limbs very well had brought her left hand back from nothingness after applying the ointment a few times. That was right. That was indeed her left hand. Lin Sanjiu was very familiar with the wrinkles and the shape of the joints. After all, she had been looking at it for 20 to 30 years.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief.
She did not take a good look at the arm that grew out of her sleeve. Apart from the fact that she had no chance to sit down and take a good look at it, she was also worried that the arm belonged to a stranger that she could not recognize. What if the length and size were not symmetrical? What if it was loose, soft, or fat? Even if it was symmetrical, it didn't seem right. She could accept the fact that she had grown a pair of wings, but she felt a little uncomfortable when someone else's arm was attached to her.
"So, the so-called 'engulfed' by the lava is just a temporary 'deduction'," Lin Sanjiu looked at the back of her palm and said softly, "The hospital provided you a chance to get it back, so the thing that you get back will definitely be yours."
Now, she understood what Puppeteer's "head reconstruction surgery" was all about. Even though the name sounded scary, Puppeteer's head had always been there. In other words, the surgery was like transferring the image of Puppeteer's head from a channel they could not see to a channel they could see.
"Yes and no. Yes, it's true for the limbs, but it's different for the organs. "The male NPC took out a manicure kit and started to sharpen his nails. "The first organ you redeem is definitely your own. For example, if you lose a kidney," he grinned at Lin Sanjiu when he said that. It was the kind of smile that showed he had a lot of things on his mind but was unwilling to say them out loud. Even until this moment, Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to tell him that she was going to get her kidney back. "The first kidney you bring back is yours. But if you want another kidney, it's someone else's. Then, when that person comes to get a kidney transplant, he won't have his own kidney to take. He can only get a kidney from someone else. "
Lin Sanjiu nodded reflexively. Then, she suddenly froze. "Then I definitely can't get my kidney back!"
The NPC had an expression that said, "Ah, you've thought of it." Then, he lowered his head and continued to polish his nails.
"Why?" asked Bohemia.
"Isn't this like a domino effect?" Lin Sanjiu said to the NPC a little angrily. "As long as the first person gets two kidneys, the rest of the people will not be able to get their kidneys because of the chain reaction. Unless, "she explained, turning to Bohemia," you can redeem your organs as soon as they are sold, before anyone else does. I'm long overdue for that. "
As for whether the number one person had appeared or not, it was a question that didn't need to be asked. Just the members of Gamer Club alone had used the "organ monopoly" method to earn points a few times.
Bohemia rubbed her face and asked like a poor student who couldn't keep up with the speed of her teacher's lecture, "Then … is the brain in the skull an organ or a limb? Sigh, if I can get a gentle brain, it won't be too bad … "
Lin Sanjiu looked up and the NPC answered, "Your uncle's condition is special. His brain was taken away along with his skull, so he can be restored after surgery. But your kidney is different. "He made a sound with the tip of his tongue," Do you want to change it? "
How could she not?
Fortunately, organ transplantation was a common concept, so it was much easier to accept than someone else's left hand. Lin Sanjiu handed in her points and watched as the NPC rummaged through a big book.
"Hmm …" The sound lingered in his nose for two to three minutes.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked, her heart in her throat.
"Hmm …" The NPC seemed to be constipated. After a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out half a sentence, "About the number of kidneys in the inventory …"
"Gone?" Lin Sanjiu didn't expect this, "There are no more kidneys in the hospital? Have they all been swapped? "
"Not all of them," he said, his tongue clicking. "There are still two of them left."
"Disabled?" Bohemia slammed the counter, "Is there a defect? Does it have uremia? "
"No …" The speed at which the male NPC spoke was enough to make Lin Sanjiu anxious, "Well, it's not the same as a normal kidney. One of them is a chicken kidney. "
"Chicken kidney?" Bohemia raised her voice, "Have you barbecued it?"
"It's useless even if you yell at me. That kidney was taken from a posthuman, and it belonged to him. That's why we accepted it. My guess is that he must know about our system, so he used some kind of protection. If someone else took it, it would be a chicken kidney, but if he took it, it would be a human kidney … "
It was a reasonable guess, but it was useless.
"What about the other one?" Lin Sanjiu asked hurriedly.
The male NPC hesitated for a few seconds and said slowly, "We registered it as a kidney, but … it's actually a black shadow."
Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows, "Black shadow?" "Yes, it's taken from a human's body.
"Yes, it was taken out from a person's body. When it was taken out, it was also a kidney … or rather, it played the role of a kidney. Otherwise, we wouldn't have accepted it. " The NPC looked at the registration book with a puzzled expression, "But for some reason … when we took it out, it was a black shadow. I guess, after we put it in your body, it should function as a kidney … I guess. That's all I can tell you. Do you want to change it? "
"Change my ass," Bohemia said without hesitation, "Who knows what will happen after we put it in —"
"Change," Lin Sanjiu was shocked when she uttered the word. She pondered for a few seconds under Bohemia's stare, and the warm feeling of certainty in her heart became clearer, "I'll change it now!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't know what to say.
"You're just trying to go against your mother," said Bohemia disapprovingly. She watched as the NPC took out a moving shadow that seemed to have a life of its own. She frowned and said, "This thing looks like the essence of night and nightmares!"
As expected of someone who had memorized many poems, Bohemia could describe the feeling of the black shadow in no time at all. It was like a cloud of dense black mist, condensed and flowing. The edges of the mist curled and drifted, but it did not dissipate. If one looked into the darkness for too long, they would feel dizzy, as if they were about to be sucked into it.
"Are you ready?" the NPC asked, holding it up.
Lin Sanjiu was also a little worried.
Although her [Sharp Intuition] was sharp, it might not be right every time. Lin Sanjiu didn't say a word. After the black shadow entered her skin without any hindrance, Lin Sanjiu quietly sensed it for a while. Other than her heart beating very fast due to nervousness, she didn't feel anything strange. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Next, all they had to do was to let each of them draw a prize and draw a target to complete the lava. However, this was a very important matter. According to the NPC, some of them could be discharged after they cleaned the floor in front of the counter, but some of them had to accumulate 211 organs before they could be discharged. Considering her own luck, Lin Sanjiu decided to wait for Puppeteer to wake up. She would ask him if he had any items that could increase her luck before she drew the prize.
When the group of people walked to Puppeteer's new ward, they saw Akira Fifty again from afar. Even from afar, Lin Sanjiu could see that he was so nervous that his body was stiff. He squatted in a corner and kept looking around as if he was afraid of being watched. If Lin Sanjiu didn't notice him in time, he would have already jumped up and ran away.
However, even though he was so nervous, he didn't use his points to exchange for a ward. Where did he spend his points? The answer was obvious. Fifty Ming was holding the [Lava Injury Recovery Ointment] in one hand and holding Fifty Fan's head in the other. He was applying the recovery ointment on Fifty Fan's head over and over again.
"It's useless, isn't it?" Bohemia also stopped and watched from afar.
Lin Sanjiu turned her head away. She didn't want to watch anymore. "Let's go."
