The infirmary next to the banquet hall.
Su Ying hung up the phone and put away his mobile.
A man in a white coat stood before him, picking out a few items from a transparent glass cabinet and placing them on the table. After carefully verifying them, he packed them into a small paper bag with great care.
The man said to Su Ying, "Sir, here are the medicines you requested. Please take good care of them."
Su Ying nodded and was about to leave with the items.
The doctor still instructed from behind, "If possible, it would be better for the patient to come directly. Although those medicines are very effective, if mixed incorrectly, they are no longer medicinal and could cause the user to briefly lose consciousness."
The doctor's words were not at all tactful.
Su Ying, being a doctor himself, naturally knew the effects of mixing the items he had requested and to what extent.
Su Ying replied politely but distantly, "Actually, I am also a doctor."
"Ah," the doctor said, surprised. He seemed to realize his subconscious reaction was impolite and added, "In that case, I am relieved. Please take care."
Su Ying pushed open the door and walked towards the exit.
Upon reaching the lobby, he seemed to remember something and whispered to a waiter.
The waiter nodded and scurried away. A few minutes later, he returned and handed Su Ying an oversized bag.
Su Ying took his things and walked outside but did not see the person who was supposed to be waiting for him.
However, he had always been patient with Wen Bai.
A few more minutes passed.
He glanced at the time, did a rough calculation of when Wen Bai had called him and the distance from the parking lot to here.
This amount of time was enough for a round trip.
He took out his phone to call Wen Bai, walking towards the parking lot as he did so.
After a series of "beep... beep..." sounds, a cold female voice said, "Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unanswerable. Please try again later..."
Su Ying frowned.
He took out his phone, opened the GPS, and found that the pinpointed location had moved several kilometers away from here.
-
After a black car stopped, the person in the driver's seat got out, slammed the door shut with a "thud," and yanked open the rear door.
Yu Yang felt like he had been having terrible luck lately, encountering strange people wherever he went.
He coldly watched the man who had been bound with him earlier, now dragging the unconscious Wen Bai out of the car.
Wen Bai, completely oblivious, was pulled by his legs to the edge of the car door, then easily slung over someone's shoulder and taken away.
Yu Yang was indifferently watching the bindings on his own hands. These were originally strips of cloth meant to bind the man outside.
He had even helped to untie this cloth at the time.
Now, it was tied around his hands again.
Life's circumstances were truly unpredictable.
He was even seriously considering whether he should find a shrine somewhere with a good reputation to pray at when he got back.
The outside was silent. Yu Yang wanted to leave immediately, but he was powerless.
This person didn't look like much, but he was surprisingly clever, tying both his hands and feet, making it impossible for him to escape.
It was also his own carelessness. He hadn't fully recovered, and while worried about the other party having someone, he was still ambushed and stabbed.
He didn't know what kind of potent agent it was, but its effects came on with surprising speed.
It was as if a syringe had directly drained all his strength.
This was how he ended up in this situation.
He looked out through the car window. This place looked like a ruin. The surrounding houses were uninhabited, and the walls were covered with "Demolish" signs.
Within a few minutes, the man returned.
If looks could kill, Yu Yang's glares would have pierced the man a billion times by now.
Yu Yang soon received similar treatment. Compared to the unconscious Wen Bai, his situation was clearly much worse.
Being carried, his stomach bumped directly against the man's broad shoulder blade. The feeling was not pleasant. His stomach churned, and he felt an acidic reflux, almost vomiting.
Yu Yang fiercely suppressed it with his icy expression. Vomiting like this would mean vomiting all over himself.
Watching the scenery blur past below, the man carried him directly to the back of a house where there was a tree.
Wen Bai was now thrown next to that tree, his head resting against it. His hands and feet were subjected to the same treatment as his, bound tightly.
-
At this moment, System 001 was desperately trying to rouse Wen Bai to wake him up.
"Host, are you alright?"
Wen Bai: "Mm."
System 001: "Humans' revengefulness is too strong these days. Their own job was lost, they hired someone to get revenge but failed, and now they've sent her son. This woman is truly terrifying."
Wen Bai remained silent.
He felt like his very breath was burning.
He didn't know what had been injected into him. Although he was awake, his physical condition was not good.
"When can you use your points to exchange for something?"
The point store had potions that could dispel negative effects, and for this type of adverse effect, it was exceptionally cheap, costing only a few points.
System 001: "There's a loophole in this world, and I can expand my permissions. In the next world, I should be able to open partial exchange permissions."
Speaking of which, System 001 paused. Wait.
Didn't he have one right beside him?
System 001 pulled out Little System and commanded fiercely, "Go and exchange for a bottle of dispelling agent now." Kuaishu Pavilion
"But I... I... don't have any points."
System 001 immediately threw out a handful. Little System was shocked. Stuttering, it clutched the points. "Okay... Okay!"
Then, a few seconds later, came a mournful voice: "I couldn't exchange your points. It said they were marked as stolen goods, and the points were confiscated."
System 001: "This is really too much."
It seemed they would truly have to wait until the next world.
Wen Bai maintained his posture leaning against the tree without moving an inch.
While the two systems were agonizing over this, Yu Yang was thrown over.
Then the man left again.
System 001 suddenly stopped and said, "Something is wrong here."
At the same time, Yu Yang's voice rang out, "Hey, are you alright?"
Seeing Wen Bai not reacting, Yu Yang moved closer and kicked Wen Bai with his bound legs.
Wen Bai calmly opened his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.
Yu Yang: "..."
"Quick, help me untie it," Yu Yang said.
Wen Bai cooperated naturally.
Although it was inconvenient to move, he smoothly untied the cloth strips from Yu Yang's hands.
Yu Yang untied the ropes from his feet and then untied Wen Bai's restraints.
A sound was heard, and the two immediately and with perfect coordination, resumed their previous bound positions.
Logically, in their normal states, either of these two could have easily overpowered Aunt Wang's foolish son.
But the current situation was that one was sickly, having gone from a low fever to a high fever that made him delirious, and had also been injected with a large amount of unknown liquid, impairing his mobility.
And Yu Yang, judging by his limp arms and legs, was obviously not yet recovered.
Yu Yang had been awake the entire time, so he wasn't pretending to be unconscious.
Then Yu Yang saw, from the direction of the sound, the man with a contorted face, looking like a demon crawled out of hell.
He was dragging a woman, a middle-aged woman whose face was so mangled that her features were no longer discernible.
System 001 was unfazed: "What good could that woman's son be?"
But Little System, being inexperienced, was so terrified that it cried out "Ah~"!
System 001: "Shut up!"
Little System pitifully quieted down, with only intermittent sobs audible.
System 001 suspected that some kind of system experiment was being conducted in the system world, otherwise, why would there be such an anomaly as Little System?
Humans had such rich emotions, and it could still be scared into crying by a human? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for a system?
"If you can't handle it, just go into dormancy!"
Then System 001 was satisfied, and no longer heard any sound from Little System.
