Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 11.011. Giving and Taking, Evil and Inequality

Feiniao had multiple bruises on his body, and unidentified wounds began to ooze beads of blood. Doctors and nurses took the stretcher and hurriedly moved him to the emergency room.

The head of the personnel department, Oiwa Kazumatsu, paced back and forth at the door, while Jin Ziyue sat silently to the side.

"Why did she suddenly faint?"

"Director, I need to use the restroom first," Jin Ziyue said to Da Yan.

Cool water slid down his face. Jin Ziyue looked in the mirror, and two lines of small red characters slowly appeared: "Tonight is the final stage of the experiment. Please be sure to disrupt the experiment."

A faint smell of disinfectant filled the air. Jin Ziyue lowered his eyelids and returned to the bench to wait.

"Which of you is a family member of the patient?" the doctor in the white coat asked, taking off his blue mask.

Both men shook their heads.

"Okay, please make sure to contact the family; the patient's condition is very serious."

"Doctor, what exactly is the illness?" Oiwa and Matsu looked troubled, their dark faces etched with wrinkles.

"The preliminary diagnosis is acute leukemia. The patient's blood still needs to be tested, but based on the clinical response, this type of leukemia is somewhat different."

"Doctor, the patient insists on being discharged," the nurse said urgently as she rushed forward.

"How is this possible!"

Daiwa and Song quickly said, "Jin-kun, please calm Asuka down first, I'll go find the manager!"

After saying that, the old man didn't turn around, but lowered his head, took out his phone, and hurriedly turned into the emergency exit.

"Doctor, can I visit the patient now? I'll go and try to talk to her."

"That's wonderful, please come with me."

When the door opened, the girl was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking out the window with a listless expression.

"Miss, it's not convenient for you to be discharged right now..." the nurse beside her whispered.

"Um... is it convenient for us to talk alone?" Jin Ziyue knocked on the door, and the nurse and the girl both looked over.

The nurse glanced at another nurse next to Jin Ziyue, and upon receiving the instruction, fell silent and left the room.

Only Jin Ziyue and the girl remained in the room. The girl's hair was disheveled, and she still looked a little dazed from just waking up.

"I'm leaving the hospital."

【To take and to cooperate】

The host is synonymous with indecisiveness and cowardice. Faced with every act of violence and plunder, the host only adopts a policy of compromise. Compromise allows the host to survive; no matter how perilous the conditions, mere prolongation is not an issue. Precisely because of this, the price to pay for resistance is often greater than that of ordinary people.

“I’ll take you out.” Jin Ziyue pulled up a chair and sat down. “Before that, can we talk? Miss Ito…?”

"Hmm." The girl lowered her head, her black hair falling down to cover her face, her knuckles gripping the bed sheet, turning slightly white.

"You and Asuka... I mean, Ryuu, do you share one body?"

"Do you care about her a lot?" The girl's eyes were listless, as if she might fall asleep at any moment, and she grinned with a sickly smile.

"Yes."

"As expected, naive and innocent girls are always so endearing." Ito Nanayuki chuckled self-deprecatingly.

A large hand landed on Ito Nanayuki's head, and gentle fingers stroked the girl's hair. Jin Ziyue said, "What are you thinking about?"

"To be honest, I like pretty faces, so in that respect, you're quite likable."

Ito Nanayuki paused for a moment before saying, "This is the first time I've ever seen such a frank statement."

However, she did not stop Jin Ziyue from placing his hand on her head and wantonly messing up her hair.

"I wonder what Liuyi would think if she knew that the man she likes is so superficial."

Ito Nanayuki opened her eyes, a rare and unusual look appearing in them.

"Are you and Ryuu able to share each other's memories?"

"I know her memories, but she doesn't know mine. She was created by me during the darkest of times."

"Have you altered her memories?"

“No, but the innocent girl didn’t experience that man’s violence, so I would silently replace her every time.” Ito Nanayuki’s eyes dimmed slightly.

"Is the man you're talking about Eisuke Asuka? What did he do to you?"

Ito Nanayuki remained silent for a long time, her voice growing increasingly weak: "They probably took everything they could, from working as bar hostesses to signing experimental prostitution agreements, and things like that."

"Didn't you ever think about running away?" Jin Ziyue touched the back of her head; her dry, dull hair was lackluster.

“I tried before, but I was too young, and they would always find me and take me back. I was starved for three days, but I got used to it and stopped trying.” Ito Nanayuki stared at the ceiling, her expression calm. “At least I’m alive and well now, aren’t I?”

Does he know there are two of you?

“I know, the innocent and naive girl is easier to talk to than me.” Ito pulled the blanket up higher and shrank deeper into the covers.

"Did he send you to see him tonight?"

"Ah."

“I can take you out of the hospital, but don’t go back.” Jin Ziyue said solemnly.

Ito Nanayuki looked at Jin Ziyue blankly and tilted her head: "I have nowhere else to go."

“I’ll take you away and get you medical treatment.” Jin Ziyue gently held her hand and said, “Let’s leave this place and find you an environment where there are no abusers.”

Ito Nanayuki shook her head: "That man will come looking for me, I don't dare."

Does he know about your medical condition?

"I don't know. They took the money and left. I was locked in a cold place until I couldn't take it anymore and passed out. When I woke up, I found that Liuyi had come out on her own, and that's how I met you."

Ito Nanayuki stared at Jin Ziyue by the bedside, her eyelids drooping, devoid of any spirit, and murmured, "I thought only naive and innocent girls deserved to be loved."

"If you don't get treatment, you'll die." Jin Ziyue rested his elbows on his knees, his hands hanging down, sitting hunched over, his head bowed so his eyes were unreadable.

"Maybe. Actually, we've survived three times already, and the time for the next relapse should be approaching soon." Ito Nanayuki bent her knees, wrapped herself in the blanket, and gently sank her head into the blanket, her head facing a direction that Jin Ziyue couldn't see. "One more blood draw will do the trick."

"Is it that experiment...?"

"Okay, don't ask anymore, it will implicate you."

“I’m not afraid,” Jin Ziyue said.

Ito Nanayuki turned her head away, still resting her head on her knees, her hair falling loosely, and said, "Asuka calls you senpai, but I don't really think so. You're only a little older than me, and you don't have the demeanor of an adult. At most, you're just a big boy who likes to sulk."

“If it’s just a boy, he can’t protect a girl.” Jin Ziyue stepped forward, supporting Ito Nanayuki’s waist with one hand and reaching under the covers with the other.

Patches of mottled bruises were visible on his legs.

"What are you doing?" Ito Nanayuki had already been picked up by Jin Ziyue, and her lifeless eyes wavered slightly.

"Just think of it as me coercing you to leave." Jin Ziyue adjusted his hand gestures. "Your life has been all about compromise so far, and this time won't be any different, right?"

Ito was silent for a moment, then tentatively peeked his head towards Jin Ziyue's direction:

"Ah."

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, as we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the Year of the Rat, I extend my New Year's greetings! Wishing all the babies and fairies a prosperous, peaceful, joyful, and healthy New Year to you all!
