Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

So I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to update today.

Hospitalized

My mother took me to the hospital at night.

Suddenly I was asked to go for a check-up in a wheelchair, and after the examination, I was told that I needed to be hospitalized.

Fortunately, the intracranial hemorrhage was only 5ml.

Hypertension, 228–140.

The cause of the bleeding was unknown, and since I was young, there were many possibilities.

We need to check them one by one later.

The good news is there is no tumor.

It seems that there will be no update in the next few days.

Want to be discharged from the hospital

Today, I feel a little better.

But at night, I started to have asthma attacks and tonsillitis, so I consulted with a doctor late at night, who gave me medicine and drew blood from my arterial vein.

I was suffering from oxygen deprivation due to asthma. I heard that my arterial blood was dark in color, so they replaced my oxygen tube with a larger one.

At present, I can still get out of bed and walk a few times, but not more.

Anyway, I'm still alive and want to be discharged early. The doctor said it depends on the results of the follow-up examination. I'm lucky in my condition and there are no other problems. The only problem now is that I have edema in my brain. If the edema develops in a safe way after the follow-up examination, I can probably be discharged?

In the ICU

The day before yesterday afternoon, they told me that my headache was almost cured, but in the end they told me that I had a lung infection, which was very serious. They transferred me directly to the sterile ward of the respiratory department for treatment.

Today, a family member came to visit me and took my cell phone, but didn’t give me the charger.

The doctor told me that if everything goes well, I can be transferred out of the ICU and into the general ward next Monday morning.

Ah, it’s still a long time, really, I feel like I’m about to quit playing games.

I hope I'll be lucky enough to be discharged from the ICU on the same day.

Anyway, I'm still here, and being sick these few days seems to have cleared my mind, and I have a lot of things I want to write again.

Discharged

I'm finally discharged from the hospital. Now I have a lot to say, but I'll keep it brief.

It was only on the day I was discharged from the hospital that my family told me the details of the situation.

It turned out that the bleeding in my brain that day was just a few tenths of a millimeter away from causing me to be paralyzed or even die.

Add to that the subsequent edema, and if you're unlucky, it can cause damage to brain tissue, leading to paralysis or even death.

It means that this time I was sick, I had a close call with death.

My goodness, I personally didn’t really feel anything about this matter, because at that time, apart from dizziness and headache, I didn’t feel anything else, and my body was still able to move.

And now when I heard that I was just a few tenths of a millimeter away from the trend, I didn't feel anything at all, not even a sense of surviving a disaster.

I was very calm, my whole body was calm, as if that had nothing to do with me.

But I don't smoke or drink, and the doctor said it was a good thing I had this habit, otherwise I would have bled more than this. This time I only lost 5ml of blood, which is just a few tenths of a millimeter away from being dangerous. If I lost more, I'm afraid I would be really close to death.

I was so lucky. I'm afraid all my luck in this life has been used up. Moreover, this more than ten days of hospitalization made me lose more than 50 pounds. It was a really torturous experience. I don't want to experience it again in my life.

I have just been discharged from the hospital and have just passed the critical period. Now I am recuperating at home and waiting for my brain to recover slowly. I also have to take antihypertensive drugs every day.

So this time we will also resume the update notification.

I should be able to continue updating after a while, as I am back in good health.

At present, there is nothing wrong with my body except the persistent soreness in my calf and a little numbness in a small part of my left foot.

Well, that's all for now, dear readers, see you in the next update, bye~

Update notification will be resumed soon

I had wanted to update the day before yesterday, but because my blood pressure has been rising inexplicably these past few days and it’s been difficult to lower it, I had no choice but to rest for a few more days.

But it’s not good to not give any news for such a long time, so I’ll send you a notice today.

The previous checkup showed that there was only a little inflammation in the lungs, and the blood in the brain had been absorbed. The only thing left was the edema.

So overall, although I haven't fully recovered yet, the recovery is pretty good. If my blood pressure is relatively stable in a few days, I will resume updating. Of course, it is also possible to update tomorrow or today.

Well, that's all for now. Goodbye~

Chapter 61 Approaching Progress

Xiuer's clone has no "heart".

They are like the Ex-Machinas in the original story before they received the "heart" uploaded by Shuvi, and the words and actions of the clones are just copies and pastes of the original, they do not really have the same "heart" as the original.

So unlike Shul himself who retains his humanity, he may still hold the view of "not harming innocent people and saving people at the same time", but when his clones act on their own, they will take any means to complete Shul's instructions.

They are ruthless and do not care whether their actions will affect innocent people (for example, they do not care about ordinary people around the target hiding in the crowd, and will directly fire at them in order to kill the target as quickly as possible).

Therefore, "Xiul", who is now explaining the specific functions of the device to Zanze, was given similar instructions directly by me.

Having read the original novel, I know about the part about the magician assessment, in which many people died from the dangers of the assessment.

Although the original novel states that people with such inferior strength will also sacrifice their lives when facing the enemy, the idea that casualties could occur in an assessment was something that Xuel could not understand at the time.

He personally felt that even if one was not qualified now, it did not mean that one would become stronger in the future, and the lack of knowledge could be made up for later. It was not right for a life to disappear directly in the assessment.

This kind of thinking is a rare "good" aspect of Shule's character.

This is also the reason why he has a certain liking for Zanze.

Although directly challenging the maze is also full of dangers, the other party has also prepared props to protect the lives of the candidates.

However, I had already cleared the Water Mirror Demon's maze, and I don't know what the content of Zanze's exam will be in this offline world.

The props that Xiuer just constructed also have this purpose, to protect the lives of the candidates.

In terms of Xuer's character, strictly speaking, he is not a good person and will not specifically save anyone, but if he meets someone who can be saved easily, he will lend a helping hand.

Just like this magician assessment, because of Celia, Shul also entered this "game".

The item just given to Zanze is a bracelet-like item that can activate a protective shield the moment it detects a fatal injury on the wearer, and while starting treatment, it will teleport the wearer to a designated location.

And all of this was done by Xuer's clone under direct instructions.

Zanze looked at the bag of bracelets in his hand. The bag was built by Xuer for easy carrying.

After listening to the explanation, Zanze looked at the other person's face with a little surprise. The expression never changed throughout the whole process, which also changed her initial impression of Xiuer.

Afterwards, Zanze accepted the other party's props and smiled slightly in return.

"Thank you."

Just a few words made Xiuer feel that the other party's respect for him was even stronger.

Zan Ze no longer wanted to disturb the other party. She just wanted to go back and inform others to distribute this prop when the candidates were divided into teams.

After completing the instructions, the clone said no more and turned away without even saying goodbye.

Zanze didn't have much doubt about this. After all, there were many people with strange personalities in the world.

.......

Back on the street again, the boy once again returned to his state of wandering aimlessly.

Because the "instructions" are like this, the clones don't need to consider anything else. They just need to act according to the instructions of the commanding machine - Xu'er himself. The self-judgment in the process only needs to be limited, because Xu'er is observing the movements of all individuals at all times, and even in the face of emergencies/situations, he can immediately provide solutions.

He walked like this, from day to dusk.

Without paying attention to the darkening sky, Xuel looked as if he was ready to keep going.

There were not many pedestrians left on the street, and no one paid much attention to the boy who seemed to be homeless.

It’s not that people are cold-hearted, it’s just that everyone has something to do.

Just then, some "enthusiastic" people took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Hey you."

"........"

"What are you doing here alone?"

"......"

"Huh? Didn't you hear clearly?"

clatter......

Xiuer stopped.

"[Question] Are you talking to this machine?"

The person who spoke to him was a young girl. Looking at her attire and the "stick" in her hand, he knew at a glance that she was a magician.

"Ah yes, I thought you didn't hear me."

The girl put one hand on her waist and straightened the corners of her clothes that were wrinkled from running.

"[Question] What does it mean to call this machine?"

Because they were strangers, Xiuer didn't know why the other person called him.

"Ahaha, I just wanted to ask how to get to the nearest hotel?"

It looks like a person who is lost in the city.

But coincidentally, Xuer happened to have a map of this city (which he discovered while wandering around during the day).

It was just a trivial matter of "pointing the way" and did not delay Xuer too much of his time.

After sending a stranger away, Shul's detector discovered three familiar units...

......

----

......

After finishing the information exchange with Celiai in the sense of a transaction and being caught by his two apprentices shortly after walking on the street, seeing that it was getting late and considering the health of the two people around him, Xuer finally decided to spend the night in a hotel in the city.

Takson and Volame had no objection to this.

Even if Xiuer said he wanted to take them camping in the wilderness, they would not complain at all.

In the evening, Xuer sat on the roof of the hotel as usual, quietly looking up at the moon in the night sky. He didn't need to rest, so this long night was often the time for him to organize intelligence.

However, in order to avoid being too "mechanical", Xiuer would occasionally find some entertainment to "relax" himself.

In the previous world, he often appeared in video game arcades and places with entertainment facilities such as amusement parks.

In this technologically backward magical world, entertainment-related things are naturally not as rich as those in modern society.

Out of boredom, Xuer stopped observing the moon in the other world. He lowered his head, and a book with a cover that looked like the Bible appeared on his legs.

Although for the sake of convenience, [Whispering Chapter] had long been transformed into a plug-in and integrated into the headband device, it can still appear in the form of a book.

"Is it already 95%?..."

Looking at the progress of the analysis from the Whispering Chapter, Xiuer sighed that he was almost out of reasons to stay in this world.

As for Tucson, who has been following him for many years, well, he is also considering how to arrange it.

After all, he was a child who grew up under his care, and he would not just leave without saying anything.

As the system said, after you leave this world, you will leave an anchor point at the current "time", and you will appear at this anchor point when you come back next time.
