Chapter 977: Poems of the Dead (Part )

After landing, Cai Ji was the first to jump off the boat, passing by the long-awaited medical team, and disappeared at the end of the mudflat without looking back. Luo Binhan had no time to pay attention to where he was going, and was immediately taken into the operating vehicle on the shore by several people wearing dark green surgical gowns. These people were wearing masks, and he could hardly recognize them, except for a middle-aged woman whose half-exposed face was quite familiar. It was the person who gave him the medicine before departure, who was now busy exhausting a long and thick needle-hole syringe.

They first drew his blood, measured his heartbeat and pulse, shone a flashlight into his eyes, and then injected two tubes of medicine. Luo Binhan had a vague memory of what happened afterwards. Before he passed out, he could only think that the look in these people's eyes was really worrying - how could they look at patients? The eyes of those people were full of interest, interest in academic exploration. How did Li Li command these people? Before he could think about it anymore, his consciousness was cut off.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark. Outside the open door, he could only see the dark tide and the starry sky. There was no one in the operating room. The earphones he had left were hanging on the IV stand next to him. He wanted to raise his right hand to take them, but found that his wrist was already in a cast and was hanging on the bracket. He touched his left eye again. It was covered with gauze, and the condition was unknown for the time being.

He sat up carefully and found that he was basically naked, with gauze on his chest and abdomen, and a splint on his left knee. This was good, he definitely couldn't go back tonight, and Li Li had to find a way to explain his disappearance. Then he looked around the entire operating room and found a camera with a flashing red light behind the shadowless lamp.

No wonder there was no one left in the cabin. He grabbed a thin sheet from the pillow and covered it with it, pointed a finger at the camera in condemnation, and then stretched out his left hand to grab the headphones on the IV stand. He also had gauze on his ears, but the area was small and did not affect the headphones.

"Li Li," he asked, "what time is it now?"

"Twenty-one fifty-six."

"This operation took long enough."

"You've actually been through several operations. The consultation room is bustling right now."

"What trouble have they had with me?"

"It's no big deal. I think they are just interested in your physical condition because many of your test data are completely inconsistent with your actual clinical manifestations. They are arguing about which side should be used as the standard for the next stage of treatment."

Robin Han immediately remembered something important. "I remember Fake implanted some micro-robot in me before he left. He also said that it could help me with the physical examination."

"You are talking about the Wuyuan Base's construct safety detection blacklist system."

"I don't know what you're talking about, but Falk said that this thing can help me cope with the medical examination procedures here, and I won't get sick easily anymore."

Robin Han began to recall what Fake had told him. He could not remember the exact principle, but there must be something about immune diseases. No wonder he had not gotten sick despite all the troubles he had during this period. "Damn it." He could not help but say, "I had completely forgotten about it. Fortunately, this thing does not interfere with the effect of the anesthetic."

"I guess 0312 only set up a blacklist for microorganisms and diseased cells. This explains why none of your wounds show signs of infection."

“But chemical agents still have an effect?”

"Yes, this condition is very fascinating to the medical team. Do you mind if they keep some extra blood samples?"

Luo Binhan nodded impatiently. He didn't care about these things now. If someone could break Wuyuanren's skills through his blood, that would be their own ability. "How is my right hand?" he asked immediately, "and my eyes?"

"Most of the tendons in your right hand were ruptured, your wrist bone was pierced, and you were also contaminated by multiple chemical agents. As for your left eye, let me simply say that it was a combination of concussion, corneal rupture, and retinal artery occlusion."

"How long will it take to be cured?"

"Aren't you worried that this is incurable?"

"You don't sound like there's no cure. Otherwise, how could you have the nerve to ask me for a blood sample?"

"Unfortunately, these injuries take a long time to heal. If the numbers on your medical report are used as a reference, it will take about two to three months. But you also understand that those physiological data are actually forged, and we cannot shut down this anti-physical examination system."

"So how long does it actually take?"

"It is difficult to estimate. This is a case beyond conventional medical experience, and conclusions can only be drawn from clinical observations."

Robinhan never thought that the little technology that Fake gave him would actually be more harmful than helpful. He moved his feet hesitantly and said, "We don't have that much time."

"You are not completely disabled during the recovery period," Li Li suggested. "It stands to reason that your recovery ability is far superior to that of ordinary people. You can do some mild rehabilitation in advance."

Luo Binhan moved his right hand as he was told. He felt that the effect of the anesthesia had not completely worn off, but his fingertips did twitch twice. He breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out to touch the gauze on his left eye: "Can I take this off?"

"It's better to wait until morning. If you really insist, you can take a look at it first."

Luo Binhan immediately peeled off a corner of the gauze, and the result was quite encouraging. This eye could see things, but it was very blurry and a little double. He described his feelings to Li Li, and then asked: "Is this all my vision from now on?"

"I don't think so. You're still in the early stages of recovery. But you'd better not expose this eye to strong light for the next few days."

There was really nothing to complain about with this result. Luo Binhan nodded in annoyance, thinking about how to explain to others that he suddenly wore sunglasses. But it was just a minor detail after all. "Is there anything wrong with my legs?" he said, "I want to go out for a walk."

"There's a slight fracture in the left knee. You'd better get a cane and go out."

Following her suggestion, Luo Binhan changed the arm sling to hang around his neck, then put on a shirt and loose beach pants, and moved out of the operating cart with the underarm crutches he found by the wall. He is still on Yunzhu Island, probably on the south side where the seashore is towering. The mudflats here are desolate, the scenery is boring, and it is too far away from the residential areas. He supported himself with crutches and slowly moved closer to the sea along a string of crab claws. As he walked, he listened to Li Li telling him about a series of new arrangements she made during his coma, which were basically one lie after another: when the tour group returned from the jet ski departure pier, the manager would receive a leave application from intern Xiao Zhou on his mobile phone, informing him that there was a funeral at home and he must rush back to attend the funeral; when the sensible Party A executives heard about this, they immediately felt obliged to send him back to the city to fulfill their friendship as a senior.

The camera will record the movements of the stuntmen and make technical corrections if they are not perfect. When the auditors return to the B&B to rest, they will see the boat carrying the two people just sailing a few hundred meters out of the island, and the passengers are waving goodbye to them from afar. In another week, the resignation application will be sent to the manager and partners, but by then the whole team should be on vacation, and it is unlikely that anyone will care about this matter.

"So," Robin Han asked, "I still don't have an alibi?"

"Are you sorry?"

"Isn't this why I called Xiaorong here? Now, I am the last contact. But his identity is fake anyway. If the police want to conduct a missing person investigation, they have to find out who he is first. Let's ignore this for now - have all his luggage been taken out of the hotel?"

"Yes, they are all there. We are inspecting them."

Luo Binhan stopped moving his cane. Hearing Li Li's words gave him a strange feeling. Now they had come to the standard part after clearing the dungeon - looting the spoils from the BOSS's corpse - this was like the final nail in Zhou Wenxing's coffin. It was so easy. Well, it wasn't that easy, but it was incredible that it was done. When he thought of this, he didn't feel any joy in his heart, just a temporary relief. They had passed the level temporarily, that was all.

"What's in his luggage?" he asked curiously. "Are there any weapons? Or a communicator?"

"Not sure yet."

"That's just a suitcase of stuff at most."

"There were only two items in your weapons bag before this afternoon, and I think that's enough for the technical team to test it by different methods for ten years."

"We don't have ten years now, not even ten weeks." "Ten hours. You can take care of your personal business during this time."

Luo Binhan didn't have any personal matters to deal with. He thought about calling Shi Qi or Yu Xiaorong, but felt that now was not the right time. There was still a mess to be solved, and calling relatives to report safety would make people relax their will and feel a little unlucky. So he just walked back and forth on the beach with his crutches, thinking about how to make up a lie. He was recently telling three sets of lies in turn, one set to Yu Xiaorong, one set to Nan Mingguang, and one set to Shi Qi. The details of these three sets of lies were different and overlapped with each other. It would be troublesome if they were exposed.

After he had sorted out what to say to whom, the sea breeze cooled his head and he gradually felt at peace. Now he finally had the heart to think about these trivial matters, and the energy to worry about them as serious matters, because he really had killed Zhou Wenxing. The sword hanging over his head had been moved away for the most part, and he was like a car accident survivor who had survived a disaster, and he was suddenly very satisfied with his boring life. He looked up at the sea and saw a slightly blue moon in the night sky on the left. Suddenly, Cai Ji's gray face jumped into his eyes again.

He moved his right hand. "Li Li."

"Please say."

"How's that one in the box?"

"It's simpler than your case. The medical team completed his full body check four hours ago and found no sequelae of anesthesia or electric shock. I have arranged for someone to send him back."

"He will never know any more."

"Yes. Do you regret it?"

"After I've accomplished my mission?" Robin Han asked, "Do you think I'll be afraid of the retribution he talked about?"

"You did say you didn't believe it."

"There is no such thing as retribution in our place. Maybe Jing Huang really cares about this, but we don't have it here. The most we have is system balance - if someone does something bad, someone in the same system has to suffer, and it never has to be the same person. As long as you don't be too greedy and destroy the entire system, Li Li, that's enough. This place has been making do like this for thousands and tens of thousands of years. So, whoever steps out of the line first - and steps out of the line without being caught, will win."

"Does this explanation satisfy you?"

"That's about right," Robinson said, and he began to turn back. "We got it done after all. If you want to blame me for insisting on using that guy--"

"I'm not going to blame you."

"But you don't agree either. I can hear that."

The cane slipped on the mudflat. Robinson lowered his head to check and used the cane to dig out half a broken shell from the shallow sand. He wanted to pick it up as a souvenir of this adventure, but he couldn't free his hands. He had to drop the cane and slowly bend down to reach it with his left hand.

“I really don’t agree with that,” Li Li said as he picked up shells, “but there’s no point in regretting a fait accompli. You’ve also taken economics courses and understand how we come to conclusions about dealing with sunk costs.”

"In fact, I have always been a bad student of economics." Luo Binhan finally picked up the shell. "The first class already confused me. The assumption of absolutely rational people, I wonder what the meaning of this assumption is. Anyway, it is impossible to achieve."

"Then how do you understand the hypothesis of an absolutely smooth plane?"

"I was also bad at physics," said Robinson. "It was all because of these absolute assumptions. You know clearly that these things are impossible to achieve: absolutely rational people, absolutely smooth planes, absolutely correct principles, absolutely perfect worlds... We like to assume these things too much, claiming that we pursue these things, as if it is glorious, but when we return to reality, we still do a mess. You can't get rid of friction wherever you go, and you can't give up the benefits you have obtained for the sake of a principle, but this doesn't stop you from continuing to talk about those absolute assumptions."

"Are you irritated, sir?"

"Angry? No. I was just wondering where to put this shell. Could you get me a coat with big pockets?"

"Just put it in the hanging bag. The bag is next to your bed."

"Put it together with that knife? Don't you think that's a bit too much?"

"It's just a bag, used to store things," Li Li said, "You don't have to treat it as a sacred object."

Luo Binhan could only smile. It was always like this when he and Li Li were together. He couldn't tell whether it was a discussion or a quarrel. And he couldn't tell whether Li Li was angry or not, because she could control her voice expression 100%. This was also caused by life in the mortal world - when they were on that ship before, they didn't have the piercing static electricity like now. Friendship in the fairy tale world only needs rainbows and fruit candies as the background, but now they all have to get used to the friction everywhere in this world.

He returned to the operating cart and put the shells into the hanging bag. He was a little tired when he finished all this, and his nameless anger towards Li Li had subsided. He was not unreasonable in the first place, and Li Li did not say anything excessive. They had overcome such a big difficulty together, which was enough to prove that she was a good teacher and helpful friend. The premise was that she would not pile up so many garbage mountains next time.

"If we're going to catch Zhou Wenxing's accomplices next time," he said as he sat on the bed, "promise me to pick a good place, okay? We can't kill people in a cesspool every time, right? Next time we can find a cave, a cliff, an ecological wetland...even an empty cornfield will do."

"That's a very unreasonable request, sir. I can only try my best."

"You're not going to do this to me on purpose?"

"I just want to make sure all the details are done."

"First, swear to me on the Yuyang River."

"What's the point, sir? I am free to lie. Unless you know how to use the Wuyuan data protocol system, you will have to believe my verbal promise and expect me to let you go."

"He is a rich man after all." Luo Binhan said. His mood suddenly improved, and he happily spread out his pillow and lay down on the bed. "Next time if you want to throw me into the garbage dump, I will let that guy in the store do it. Anyway, he just can't deal with Zhou Wenxing, not others, right? As for me, I'm going to go on vacation in the mountains in the southwest. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me now, and I don't pursue the best of the best."

"Sir, there's an old saying that goes, those who seek the best will get the middle, and those who seek the middle will get the worst."

"Those who seek below will gain nothing." Luo Binhan continued, "But I just don't believe this statement, Li Li. I tell you that this statement is absolutely wrong--"

He hadn't finished his words yet. Something vibrated on the table beside the bed. It was his cell phone. As Robinson reached out to take it, Li Li said, "There's something interesting, sir."

"You made me afraid to look at my phone."

"You'd better take a look. That's the information I sent. Two minutes ago we found a special item in the target's suitcase. You'll understand after you read it."

Luo Binhan reluctantly opened his phone. He saw that Li Li had sent him a bunch of pictures of the same thing. At first he almost thought someone had entered his house and opened the safe in the bedroom, but then a comparison picture with a ruler made him realize that this was not the case. They found another black box.

 Considering that today is the beginning of autumn and Luo Binhan’s birthday, the update was released early.
