Chapter 315 Fire Thief
Chapter 315 Fire Thief
At dawn.
François let out a long sigh and his face looked extremely ugly.
The atmosphere in the room was very heavy, and the two were silent for a long time. 424 had to remind him: "Old Fu, it's time to go downstairs, Feng Liuxue is waiting for you."
François looked down at the floor, showing a rare negative attitude.
424 was usually obsessed with money, but now he couldn't help but comfort his host: "I know you feel bad, but what's so strange about this? Our system's annual scrapping and formatting rate is five times that of human taskers, but I'm living a happy life, right? The universe is essentially no different from shit, so just let it go."
François was speechless for a moment. He covered his face, raised his head and stared blankly into the void.
As the saying goes, there are always people who are better than you. In terms of the degree of misery, Francois is the worst among Zhao Ruoming, while Ji Zhao can be said to be the worst among all the taskers.
Intellectually, François knows that he should go to work and start a sadomasochistic relationship as soon as possible; but emotionally, out of pity for his own kind, François just wants to blow the world up with one punch.
The fire thief was hung on a cliff hundreds of feet high every day, enduring wind and rain, scorching sun and cold winter, being pecked by eagles, and having his liver and gall bladder trampled by people. How could the mortals standing at the foot of the mountain who had received the blessing of heavenly fire not feel sympathetic?
Francois put his hand down, looked at Zhao Ruoming and said, "So, what are you going to do?"
"The energy in Ji Zhao's system is almost exhausted," Zhao Ruoming said calmly, with no emotion in her voice. "Soon we won't be able to repair her body. By then, she'll really die. We can either contact our superiors and send her back to the world with superpowers where she was supposed to be; or we hide her and never let anyone hurt her again - if she's not hurt, there's no need to repair her."
Francois thought about it carefully and shook his head. "The second method is not feasible. 'Cutting flesh to feed companions' was Ji Zhao's original mission. We hid her to prevent her from getting hurt. Although she won't die, she will never complete the mission. Then she will have to stay in this world forever."
François hated this world so much that he felt that it would be better to kill himself than to stay here forever.
Zhao Ruoming glanced out the window. The rosy sky was like a purple mist. The thin starlight reflected in her eyes. Zhao Ruoming murmured, "She won't stay in this world forever. She is just waiting temporarily, until..."
François was stunned: "Until what?"
Zhao Ruoming said lightly: "Until the new world arrives."
For a moment, François seemed to be mesmerized by Zhao Ruoming at this moment, and was almost speechless. But soon, he came to his senses and smiled bitterly: "How is that possible?"
He struggled for three years but didn't see any new world. Instead, he became the patriarch of a feudal family like Mansfield, and he was going backwards.
Some dreams are too hot to be touched, so you can only think about them in your dreams. If you really try to touch them, you will get burned.
Zhao Ruoming laughed at himself and stopped talking about this topic: "That's right. Let's ask Ji Zhao for her opinion and see what choice she wants to make."
"Hasn't she already..." Francois shook his head and swallowed the words "become a fool". "How do I ask her?"
"Her system 62 said that she would occasionally regain consciousness." Zhao Ruoming turned to Ji Zhao on the bed and asked directly: "62, under what circumstances would Ji Zhao regain her sanity?"
62 buzzed a message through 203.
Zhao Ruoming's face darkened, and he said to Francois, "62 said there is no pattern, the time is not fixed, and the duration is not fixed."
This is difficult to handle.
Zhao Ruoming pondered and said, "How about this, 62, when Ji Zhao wakes up, help me convey this question to her, okay?"
62 hummed, "Okay."
Although there was nothing he could do, the matter was settled. Francois stood up and said, "Zhao, thank you for trusting me and not hiding such a big thing from me. If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know."
If even a powerful figure like Ji Zhao couldn't escape such a tragic ending, then the future of small shrimps like him and Zhao Ruoming, who were struggling to make ends meet and working overtime, might be in doubt. The dark mouth of the Book Department could swallow even Ji Zhao, a fierce tiger, but couldn't swallow himself and Zhao Ruoming, two cattle and horses? Bullets don't have eyes, and no one is an exception.
To be honest, François has begun to doubt whether he is so unlucky because it is "supposed to be so" or because he is from Earth.
As the only two people in the world who can understand each other, it is impossible for Zhao Ruoming not to be moved by Francois' words. She shook Francois's hand, and everything was said without words.
Francois apologized, "In cartoons, maybe we should say some exciting lines at this time. But this is the fucked-up reality, Zhao, I can only tell you, sorry, I have to go to work. Take care of yourself and Senior Ji Zhao."
Their lives are not about passionate comics, but about overtime schedules.
Zhao Ruoming nodded and was about to send François out when suddenly, Ji Zhao on the bed let out a painful groan!
François was stunned on the spot. Zhao Ruoming froze all over and jumped to Ji Zhao's side in two steps to observe her movements!
Ji Zhao's huge head twisted in pain on the pillow, and in an instant, the entire pillow was soaked with sweat!
"What's wrong with her?" Zhao Ruoming asked anxiously.
"The effect of the drug." 203 said concisely.
These four words weighed more than a thousand pounds, and Francois's face twisted again. He immediately remembered that his drug addict brothers had racked their brains to trick him into taking those dirty things. Francois was furious (real thunder, not the artificial rain thunder performed for Feng Liuxue), and in front of the whole family, he stuffed the drug dealer's arm into the blender, which frightened those drug addicts and made them dare not bring this thing to him again.
Seeing François' misunderstanding, 203 explained to people other than Zhao Ruoming: "It's not that kind of medicine. It's something like growth hormone. Ji Zhao's obesity is not natural, but caused by drugs."
424 conveyed this message to Francois, and Francois's gloomy face looked better.
Zhao Ruoming asked: "Is there any way to relieve the pain?"
"That's easy." 203 said immediately, "I'll transfer energy to 62 and let 62 help her relieve the pain."
"Thank you for your hard work, Tongzi Dad!"
