The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Hurry, hurry, let's hurry up and follow the procedures." Hu Xingtong was looking for something anxiously, which seemed a little funny in the eyes of the system.

"Xingxing, let me confirm with you one last time. Your wish is for your mother to recover, right?"

Hu Xingtong nodded and added, "If possible, please bless me to live a hundred years, and bless my sister and younger sister to be happy and prosperous."

The system nodded. Although it was against the rules, she was still willing to help for Hu Xingtong's sake. So she solemnly promised Hu Xingtong: "Don't worry, after we leave, this house will be divided into your sister's name, and your property will be distributed accordingly to your mother, sister, and younger sister's accounts. And their memories that belong to you will disappear the moment you leave, leaving no trace."

Hu Xingtong took a step back and bowed solemnly to the system. At the system's signal, a pink light streamed from his forehead into his brain, followed by a strange power filling his limbs and bones, and his body seemed to be full of vitality.

"Is this all right?" Hu Xingtong asked, looking at the system.

The system nodded. "My original body has been bound to your soul. I have temporarily combined your soul and body and cured your mother. You can use this body to find your sister and mother. This can be considered as making up for your regrets."

"What does it mean that the body and soul are combined? Am I temporarily resurrected?"

"No, it's mainly because your body will soon no longer belong to this world, so there's no need to keep it. Of course, with a body, you can control your movements and hug your family. I think this is what you need in the end. But remember, you only have one hour. During this time, except for your family, no one else can see you. When the time is up, your body will immediately turn to ash and dissipate."

"So it's just a puppet, but that's enough, Chen Wu, thank you."

Without saying much, Hu Xingtong immediately left the room, picked up the phone next to him and called his sister.

"Hey, Xingxing, are you awake?"

Hearing her sister's voice, Hu Xingtong felt a little sad, and tears suddenly burst out like a flood, "Sister, where are you now? I'll go find you."

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the line, and it seemed as if Hu Xingtong's voice was choking. Hu Luoxi was a little worried and hurriedly asked about the situation with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen? Don't move, I'll go back immediately."

"No, I just have some good news to tell you. I'm anxious to see you, and I also... miss you."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then a somewhat hoarse voice came out: "Xingxing, I'll go back to find you. Be good, I'll be there in a moment." After that, before Hu Xingtong could say anything, the other end hung up the phone. The system timely reported the situation on Hu Luoxi's side: "Xingxing, Sister Luoxi will be at your door in 18 minutes."

"Eighteen minutes? So fast?"

"Yes, Sister Luoxi rushed back as fast as she could without speeding or running a red light. Sister Luoxi loves you very much."

Hu Xingtong smiled, his brows visibly relaxed, he was extremely happy. Looking at his body standing straight, he leisurely walked around. After making sure everything was normal, he prepared to stand at the door and give his sister a big surprise.

"Ding ding ding—" The sound of the password rang out. Hu Xingtong was a little surprised. This speed was faster than the system broadcast.

"Xingxing, it's not Sister Luoxi, it's someone else." The voice of the system in the mind was a little strange, and seemed to have the feeling of a domineering president's speech.

The next moment, the door opened and two figures, one big and one small, stood there in a daze.

"Ahhhh! My second sister, you actually stood up!"

"Ahhh! Second Aunt, you're so awesome!"

Help, this is so noisy, but so real and so happy.

"Ye Ge, why are you back?" Hu Xingtong took two steps forward, feeling a little uncomfortable. Before he reached the two men, they pounced on him. Unfortunately, Hu Xingtong's frail body could not withstand the onslaught of the two men, and he fell directly on the carpet. Fortunately, the carpet was thick, so he didn't feel any pain from the fall.

"Second sister, we came back from our trip and brought you a lot of local specialties as a surprise. We didn't expect you to surprise us first." As he spoke, Hu Yege burst into tears, his voice choked with sobs. The same was true for Wang Yingying. Although the little brat was young, she knew how to care for others the most. When she saw her second aunt stand up, she burst into tears.

"Don't cry, elder sister will tell you when she comes back." Hu Xingtong wiped Yingying's tears. Before she could get up, a stern scolding came from the door.

"Hu Yege, Wang Yingying, what's wrong with you? Come down quickly!" The eldest sister who came late didn't know what had happened. She hurriedly carried two bags of food upstairs and saw the door was open. Hu Xingtong was pressed to the ground by two disrespectful little guys. Whoever saw this scene would be angry.

Hu Luoxi closed the door, put down the ingredients in his hand, walked up to the three people aggressively, and just as he was about to raise his hand to pick up Hu Xingtong, the latter stood up by himself with the help of the sofa.

Wait, stand up?

Hu Luoxi looked at the short and thin person in front of her, and seemed to understand why the two little guys pushed the person to the ground. It turned out that they fell down with joy. Then she also wanted to rush over, but would it be too embarrassing?

"Sister, can you hold me for a minute? My old waist can't handle another attack from you."

The words made people laugh and feel distressed at the same time. Hu Luoxi unceremoniously took Hu Xingtong in her arms and held the little person in her arms. At this moment, she felt her sister's almost icy body temperature and quickly pushed her away and asked, "Are you cold? Why are you so cold?"

The system explained to Hu Xingtong at the right time: "Xingxing, your body is a corpse, so it's normal to be cold. You have to find a way to fool it."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xingtong responded, "It's a bit cold. Ye Ge, please help me get a thick coat from the closet."

"No, let's get a little cotton jacket."

It was not surprising that the patient was afraid of the cold, so Hu Yege did as he was told. However, Hu Luoxi became suspicious. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he frowned the next moment.

"Xingxing, Sister Luoxi has discovered a problem." The system reminded.

"Sister, take me to the hospital to see if mom is okay. I just dreamed about dad, and he told me that he prayed to the King of Hell and mom's illness was cured." Except for Hu Yege, her mother and sister believed in gods, demons and monsters the most in the family. When she mentioned her deceased father, everything made sense.

"Really?" Hu Luoxi rarely believed what Hu Xingtong said, and always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Really? Let's go and take a look first. Dad also said that he asked the Black and White Impermanence to exchange a leg for me so that I can live well and take care of my mother." Hu Xingtong opened his mouth and directly attributed all the credit for his standing up to his deceased father.

Although Hu Luoxi didn't believe what Hu Xingtong said, she still agreed to go see her mother as she wished, and took Hu Yege and Wang Yingying with her. After all, they had to know about this matter.

On the way, Hu Luoxi, as the eldest sister, took the initiative to tell Hu Yege and the others about her mother's illness. At first, the two were still in the joy of Hu Xingtong standing up, but after hearing that Hu's mother was ill, they became silent and there was no quarrel along the way.

Arriving at the hospital, Hu Xingtong also heard the system's synchronized countdown: "Xingxing, time is running out, only sixteen minutes left."

Hu Xingtong walked quickly into the ward. In order to give Hu's mother a surprise, he was pushed in by a wheelchair. He glanced at his brother-in-law who was working at the side and said, "Brother-in-law, you should go back and rest first. Ye Ge and I will chat with Mom in the evening."

Wang Kai glanced at his wife with a look of disapproval and a hint of inquiry. Hu Luoxi gave him a soothing look in return, then handed their daughter to her husband, and told him to be careful on the road. After watching the two of them get on the elevator, she locked the door of the ward and considerately drew the curtains in the room.

"Mom, I have a surprise for you." Sister Eyes helped to cover up, and Hu Xingtong stopped pretending. He pushed the wheelchair back and stood up from it.

"Xingxing...you...can you stand up?" Hu's mother was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears as she looked at Hu Xingtong.

Hu Xingtong smiled helplessly, knowing that his mother was happy. He took two steps forward and jumped, happily showing his healthy condition while comforting his mother.

"Hey, I stood up!" Perhaps because of the touching moment when relatives took turns to help, Hu Xingtong suddenly felt reluctant to leave. With tears in her eyes, she opened her arms to stop her mother. Hu Yege and Hu Luoxi also stepped forward and hugged them at this moment.

Before leaving, Hu Luoxi asked Wang Kai to retest Hu's mother. Now the test results still needed to be obtained, so Hu Luoxi could only let go of her arms and go out silently to get the report.

If a puncture is not done, a CT scan is needed, and a doctor must be asked to come and see the location of his mother's tumor, so Hu Luoxi still has a lot to do. For some reason, Hu Luoxi just wants to go faster and faster at this moment, as if if he goes slower, he won't be able to see anyone.

With this idea in mind, Hu Luoxi shortened the five-minute process to two minutes. Two minutes later, the doctor and Hu Luoxi walked into the ward with the report in hand.

Five minutes later, the doctor looked at the report and recalled the feeling just now. He felt inexplicably strange. Did he misdiagnose?

"This situation is a bit complicated. I hope you will cooperate with the biopsy tomorrow morning so we can both ensure it's not a misdiagnosis. Your mother doesn't appear to have hyperthyroidism or a tumor. We'll discuss the specifics after we review the biopsy results."

After hearing the doctor's words, no one said anything. After seeing the doctor off, Hu Luoxi closed the door again, and the look in his eyes when he looked at his sister became strange.

"Xingtong, was it really Dad who did this?" Hu Luoxi looked at his sister who suddenly stood up in front of him, and a not-so-nice word suddenly popped up in his mind - last flicker of life.

"Xingxing, it's the last two minutes." The system's voice was low, as if it didn't want Hu Xingtong to disappear in front of several people in such an environment surrounded by love. Doing so would be too cruel, cruel to Hu Xingtong and even more cruel to her family.

Hu Xingtong felt a little reluctant but also relieved at this moment. Maybe he could come back.

"Sister, I did it," Hu Xingtong took a step back, away from the bed and family, standing in a corner where no door or window could be seen, his eyes red and a smile on his face.

"I'm already dead. My health wasn't good, I pulled an all-nighter, and I mistakenly took a bunch of painkillers for coffee candy. So I'm already dead. I'm just lucky. I can trade my soul for a wish for my mother's health, so I did it. I'm not saying this to move you. I just want to talk to you one last time. I thank you for everything you've done for me over the years. There's nothing I can do but see you more in these final moments."

"Chen Wu, can you take a picture for me?" Hu Xingtong called the system in her mind. She felt her body gradually dissipating, and a feeling of powerlessness instantly enveloped her heart.

"It has been taken. It's your family portrait." The system took a family portrait of Hu Xingtong's family, capturing the best look of everyone.

The next moment, under the gaze of the three people, Hu Xingtong slowly raised his hand, waved it, smiled, tilted his head and said, "Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, a gray smoke rose...
