Deep in the Living

Chapter 116 Position
Melli University General Hospital, Pluto.

This was the second time Rody had stayed here. All of his limbs were in plaster, and various infusion bottles were hanging on his sides.

The curse of aging that had been affecting him had been lifted, and he had returned to his youth.

The dream was so clear that it seemed like it really happened.
But Rody did not immerse himself in it. Instead, he immediately turned his head and tried to find the thing that was extremely important to him.

But there was nothing in the empty sterile ward.
There was no trace of backpacks on either the seats or the clothes racks.

Rody's waking up also triggered the sensor device on his body. A burst of hurried footsteps quickly arrived at the ward. In addition to the medical team, there were two teammates who were jointly handling the nursing home incident.

Yu Ze yawned repeatedly, as if he had not woken up yet, and waved his arms casually to greet Luo Di who was lying on the hospital bed, as if he thought this kind of "minor injury" was very common and normal.

Even compared to the difficulty of this incident, this is already the best case scenario.

Anna understood Rody's thoughts very well, and she stood on tiptoe to pick up the thing in her hand.

It's a mountaineering bag.

When Rody saw the bulging backpack, he completely put his mind at ease.

The medical team was also quite shocked after the examination. Although they knew that Rody was an extremely rare "connector", they did not expect that his healing speed would be so much faster than normal people.

An ordinary person would have died from such serious injuries.

Given his current condition, he will be able to be discharged from the hospital in less than two weeks, or even within a week.

In addition, the attending physician was also very curious about one thing: Roddy's left arm. In his personal file, it was written that his left arm was missing and was replaced with a "bionic arm (normal type)".

Scans at admission revealed that

This arm is Rody's own.
Not only that, some unknown iron wires were also scanned inside the arm.

Due to Luo Di's identity as a "trainee investigator", his personal information needs to be kept confidential. Once it is leaked, he will lose his position as a doctor and will be held accountable.

The left arm is currently recovering the fastest, and it has even reached the point where the plaster can be removed, as if the wires rooted in the arm are also helping with the repair.

After confirming that Roddy was in good condition, the medical team left one after another, leaving only three members of the team in the ward.

Before the two of them could speak, Rody asked first:
"How did I get out?"

Yu Ze moved a chair and sat next to the bed. "How else can we get out? Fellow villager, you have killed the guy behind the nursing home. The corner-like space formed by the anomaly collapsed immediately, and we were kicked out as outsiders.

On the contrary, my fellow villager, your physical condition at that time was quite scary.

Most of the bones in his body were shattered and his muscles were dissolved in many places. It didn't look like he was beaten by someone else, but rather like he did it himself.

But~ everything is fine now, just need to recover with peace of mind.

Besides, I have some personal matters that I need to discuss with you alone."

Yu Ze turned around and looked at Anna who was standing at the door of the ward. It seemed that they had discussed this matter before. Anna nodded and stood guard at the door to ensure that no one would come in during this time.

The curtain around the bed was lowered, enclosing the two of them in an independent space.

Yu Ze also took out a unique yellow talisman and pasted it on the curtain.

"We are all from the same hometown, and we handled the incident together, so I will get straight to the point. In addition, I have already set up a barrier, so only the two of us can hear the conversation that follows.

Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to dig out your secrets.

I know very well that it was not just you, Rody, who killed the abnormal person in the nursing home. There was another person involved. I also know that the entire nursing home space did not completely collapse afterwards but moved to another place.

I just have two questions.”

Yu Ze's eyes were fully open, completely different from his previous nonchalant look.

He raised his index finger and placed it in front of Roddy.

"First, fellow countryman, your side should be with China...it should be on the side of humanity, right?"

Rody did not answer verbally or nod, but just stared into the other person's eyes.

"Okay, second question.

What is the position of the 'fourth person' involved in this incident?

You can rest assured that when reporting on this nursing home incident, I will only talk about the three of us and emphasize that the final abnormal kill was achieved by you alone, and will never mention the existence of the fourth person.

All I want to know is the [position] issue.”

"do not know."

Yu Ze pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay~ Anyway, I trust my fellow countrymen. Now that the incident is over, I need to go back to the capital. They are eager to ask me for my evaluation of you.

According to your current performance, it is only a matter of time before you go to the capital, and you can even go with me now. However, I have calculated that you still have a lot of things to deal with in Pluto City, so there is no need to rush.

Moreover, this customs city also has its own peculiarities. You can live here as a trainee investigator for a while, and then come to the capital when everything is ready.

Just remember to call me in advance when the time comes."

"Thank you."

"Hey~ Don't say these things among fellow villagers."

"You should be strong enough to explore corners, right?"

Luo Di's sudden change of topic made Yu Ze stunned for a moment, and he pointed his finger at his own nose, "Me? Exploring the corner? I'm still young, and I haven't had enough fun. I don't want to go in and die so early.

When I've had enough fun, maybe I'll consider it.

When you, my fellow countryman, come to the capital, we can sign up together.

It's almost time, I have to catch the bus! I'll have a good rest when I get back to the capital, I haven't been this tired for a long time. I'll trouble you to collect the material rewards for this event, since you did most of the work anyway.

These Italians are rich, let them give as much as possible."

"and many more."

"What?"

"You are also a connector, right?"

"I'll tell you when you come to the capital. Goodbye, fellow countryman!"

Yu Ze slid his fingers across his ears to say goodbye, and then tore off the talisman on the curtain and placed it beside the bed as a gift.

"As long as this thing is attached to a closed space, it can isolate everything and ensure that what happens in the space will not be leaked. Of course, it is only valid for 48 hours.

Next, if you want to do something 'private' in the ward, just stick this thing on.

We will meet again in the future, so I won’t give you any farewell gifts. Bye!”

Click~The door is locked.

Yu Ze left in a hurry. After all, Luo Di still needed to stay in the hospital for a while and couldn't get free meals.

Moreover, he had already expected that Rody had some personal matters to deal with, so he did not bother him any further.

"Anna, put this thing on the door."

"it is good."

Anna was very clear about the effect of the talisman, and could guess what Rody wanted to do by sealing off the ward.

The moment the talisman was attached to the iron door, the sound in the hospital corridor disappeared instantly, the entire ward was completely isolated, and Anna's gaze naturally fell on the mountaineering bag in her hand.

Somewhat strange,
The weight of the backpack seemed to be lighter than a few minutes ago.
Anna realized something and quickly unzipped her backpack.

There were only some basic daily necessities in it, but the most important thing was missing.

"How could this be!?"

It was still there when I entered the ward just now, and I could clearly feel the touch of it when I hugged it... Could it be Yu Ze!? 』

Anna didn't dare to tell anyone that "the monitor lost the item" for fear of upsetting Rody who was still in the hospital bed.

She directed all her suspicions towards Yu Ze who had just left. After all, the other party's abilities were mysterious and unpredictable.

Just when she was planning to find a reason to rush out of the ward and catch up with the other person.

Out of the corner of my eye I suddenly caught a glimpse of the dressing mirror placed not far from the ward, which just happened to reflect a corner of the bed.

With the help of the mirror's reflection, Anna saw a person sitting on the edge of the bed, but she couldn't see clearly because of the angle.

She immediately turned her head to look at the bed, but there was nothing there, as if the other person only existed between the mirror surfaces.

In order to see more clearly, Anna moved slowly towards the mirror and saw that there was indeed a person sitting near the head of the bed.

A woman in a hospital gown,

Her long black hair draped over her back.
The fruit knife in his hand was peeling a red apple, as if he was going to feed it to Rody who was lying on the hospital bed.

It seemed that he sensed Anna's surveillance and realized that Anna might scream out loud.
The woman paused peeling the apple and placed a finger between her lips.

Oh...
