Traveling through Thailand

Sky was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, he watched Xiao Yi being shot. He wanted to move forward to block the bullet, but he couldn't move. He could only watch helplessly as the bullet pierced his back, and finally lay silently in the arms of another self.

He watched him kill someone with a gun, saw his eyes red, but his face remained calm as he fired multiple shots at the dead body. He didn't understand why he could still calmly fire multiple shots even though it was his first time shooting.

But from a third-party perspective, he could see that there was no joy in revenge in his eyes at that time, only worry and fear. Worry that Xiao Yi would die, fear that he would never see him again. Fear that they would be separated forever from each other.

Standing in front of the mirror, he looked at himself, feeling strange. He shaved off the growing beard, left the bathroom, and returned to his room to change. When he emerged, his assistant was already waiting at the entrance.

On the way to the hospital, the assistant told him what he wanted to know most without waiting for any questions: "The operation was successful. He is now in the intensive care unit. As long as he passes the critical period, he can be transferred to the general ward."

The arrival of this good news made Sky feel a little relieved. Although he was not out of danger, at least he was alive.

"Can I go in and see him?"

"I'll ask for you when we get to the hospital."

The car fell silent. Arriving at the hospital, Sky went to the intensive care unit first. Seeing the person lying inside through the glass, his eyes filled with tears. A few scalding tears flowed from his eyes, and the warmth of their drops on his arm startled Sky, who was still mired in grief.

I quickly wiped away my tears, reassuring myself: He's not out of danger yet, I can't cry. I can't cry my luck away. Sky, you have to be strong.

After asking about the relevant precautions for visiting, the assistant came to his side and said: "You can go in, but not for too long."

"Okay." Sky didn't care how long it would take, he just wanted to touch him in person and confirm with his own hands that he was still alive.

With the help of medical staff, Sky, completely disinfected and wearing protective clothing, walked in. Looking at Xiao Yi, surrounded by machines, Sky stepped softly, as if afraid to wake him. Seeing his chest rise and fall slightly, and the mist on the breathing mask, he finally felt relieved.

"Yi, can you hear me?"

Xiao Yi lay unresponsive in bed. Sky, though distressed, fought back the urge to cry. He reached out and gently touched his hand, feeling the warmth beneath it. Tears threatened to fall, so he looked up and blinked them back.

"Hey~Yi, you have to wake up quickly."

"Yi, I killed someone."

"Yi, I can't sleep well again without you here."

"Yi, I want to go back to Dragon Country with my uncle. I want to see their final end for you." If Xiao Yi were awake at this moment, he would definitely refuse, his eyes even more disdainful of those in the family who like to take advantage of their seniority. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, but this smile was not pure laughter, but bitterness and helplessness.

"Yi, they hurt you like this, I will make them pay."

"You will agree, right?" Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

"Hey~ Let's make a deal, okay? When I come back with good news, will you come pick me up in person?"

Sky spoke to him intermittently and did not come out of the ICU until he was reminded.

After coming out, Sky held the glass with his hands and looked at Xiao Yi inside: "I want to see my uncle."

"Okay, I'll help you contact them now." Without asking the reason, the assistant picked up the phone and walked to a nearby place to make a call.

Sky recalled in his mind how Xiao Yi held him to block the incoming bullets. Every time he replayed it in his mind over and over again, the hatred in his heart grew stronger.

"Master Sky has made the contact. You can come over anytime. If it's not urgent, he will come to the hospital later."

"Let's do it now." After confirming Xiao Yi's condition and knowing that the area was under strict surveillance, he knew there would be no other problems. He decided that it would be better to explain it earlier, since his uncle was so busy and might not be able to come in the evening.

Sky stood at the foot of the building. This was his first time here. He looked up at the building: This was the place Yi had complained about many times. It looked really grand.

With the help of the assistant, I took the private elevator to the chairman's floor.

"This is where the young master usually works. Please wait here for a while. The chairman is still in a meeting."

Sky looked around and couldn't help but sigh: So this is where Sky works, but it's so empty around here.

Where was Xiao Yi at this moment? He appeared in the system space in the form of a spirit, watching the subsequent events of this world through the screen released by the small ladder.

The little ladder fanned the pages of the book and came to him. On the paper was written: "What should I do? The shell you left behind has been revived. This must be because the foundation is too good, which caused the shell to have a bug and was saved. By the way, how come the life-saving medicine in your family in that world is so powerful?? It just dragged out the almost extinguished vitality in the shell until rescue time, and most speechless, it was even revived!!!! Oh my God!!! What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? I'm so anxious."

Xiao Yi calmly admired the little ladder that was almost going crazy, flapping its wings made of book pages to fly around.

"You ask me? How would I know? I've never encountered anything like this."

“I’ve never encountered this before!!”

"Then you're lucky. You found it this time."

"..."

Little Ladder wanted to curse, but as a polite and sensible system, he suppressed the urge. On the page, each word appeared in large size, and he could almost see the book boy swearing and gritting his teeth.

"What solution do you have?"

Xiao Yi changed his posture and crossed his legs: "Shouldn't you solve this problem?"

"But that's your shell."

Xiao Yi watched Sky caressing Daisy in the office, waiting for his father from that world. He touched his heart, which was beating steadily as usual, but why did his eyes feel sore?

What's wrong with me? This feeling is both strange and familiar.

"Yes, you also said that it was just a shell in that world." The tone was no different from the other times, as if that slight feeling of something being wrong was just an illusion.

The little ladder swayed in frustration, then a lightbulb appeared above it. She quickly flew over to him. "How about I spend some energy and you go to him in his dream and tell him not to save him. Even if the shell's life stabilizes and its wounds heal, as long as you don't go back, the shell will just be what they call a vegetable. Then you can go to him in a dream and have them remove the oxygen tube, which will also allow you to die sooner. What do you think of this idea?"

Xiao Yi slapped the book page that was 5 centimeters away from his eyes and flew away. "No, it's nothing. How did you come up with this idea? And a dream? Why didn't you say you would do a necromancy?"

"If you want something exciting, this is not impossible." Little Ladder thought about it and felt that this method was not impossible, but it would consume more energy.

Xiao Yi knew the little ladder's advice was good, but he still hoped it wouldn't take it too seriously next time. "Remove the oxygen tube, let him die soon?" Could he say that to him? As the oddball of the system, the little ladder wasn't programmed with such twists and turns. It only offered suggestions, never imposed them. So, if the host wasn't willing to act, it didn't bring it up again.
