Su Yuanyuan's nose tingled with tears, even though she knew this wasn't her world, even though she knew it might be a parallel world or a fictional world.

She still wanted to do it; since she had the chance, she didn't want to see so many people die again.

She softly uttered a few names, then glanced at the words on the note one last time.

1976年7月28日凌晨3.42,东经118.2°北纬39.6°,7.8级地震

The reason she wrote it this way is because she couldn't write place names; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't write even a single stroke.

Hopefully they understand. [System, send it over.]

【OK】

Looking at the vanished note, Su Yuanyuan closed her eyes wearily. Only now did she realize that she felt uncomfortable all over, and she knew that this was a reaction to the tension.

She was weak and limp, and struggled to climb into bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.

She was awakened by Liu Yan's loud voice the next day. Opening her heavy eyelids, her voice was somewhat weak.

"what happened?"

The three of them stood in front of the bed with worried expressions. Su Yuanyuan looked terrifying at this moment.

Her face was pale, with a faint bluish tinge. Her open eyes were dull and lifeless, and her voice was soft and thin, as if she might die at any moment.

"What happened to you? How did you become like this overnight? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Seeing their condition, Su Yuanyuan could imagine how badly she was doing. She tried to sit up by supporting herself on the bed, but she couldn't muster any strength at all.

Li Hongmei quickly helped her up and helped her lean against the headboard. Zhang Zhiying put a pillow under her to make her more comfortable.

"I'm fine, I'm just sick, I'll be better in a few days."

Su Yuanyuan wanted to laugh, but a sudden pain in her chest made her frown involuntarily, feeling as if her body was about to fall apart.

Li Hongmei reached out and touched her forehead, finding no fever, and frowned as she asked.

"She was perfectly fine last night, how come she's so sick this morning?"

"It's okay, I just need to rest for a bit."

Su Yuanyuan forced a smile, but it was filled with helplessness and weakness, making the three of them frown.

"You should lie down and rest first. We'll help you get a day off and then find a doctor to come and check on you. You shouldn't go out like this."

The three of them settled her down, poured a cup of hot water and placed it by the bedside to make sure she could have it whenever she wanted, before finally leaving the house with a sense of security.

After watching them leave, Su Yuanyuan asked the system in her mind.

[System, what's wrong with me?]

[The host interfered in a major event in this world, influencing its course. Although the system protected the host's life, this is a punishment from Heaven, which the system cannot erase.]

The system explained it to her, and Su Yuanyuan understood. It meant that her intervention was successful; otherwise, there would have been no punishment.

When will that be?

[Until the host leaves this world.]

She looked at her hands; she couldn't even clench her fists. She closed her eyes wearily; she felt exhausted in just a short while.

She thought she heard Liu Yan's voice before falling asleep, but she was too tired to resist the overwhelming sleepiness.

When she woke up again, all she saw was white. Was she in a hospital?

"You're awake. Would you like some water?"

She heard a voice and looked over. It was a nurse standing by the window changing her IV drip.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You've fainted, and you're too weak; you need to be hospitalized."

The nurse changed the IV drip, helped her sit up, and gave her some water to drink.

"Is there anything else you need?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head; she wanted to sleep again. She tried to keep her eyes open and looked at the nurse.

Did the doctor say what illness I have?

The nurse sighed and gently comforted her, "The doctor said they couldn't find anything, but don't worry, you can definitely be cured."

Su Yuanyuan curled her lips. She knew whether or not she could be cured; she just wanted to see what kind of illness Heaven had given her.

After the nurse left, she fell asleep again and stayed in the hospital in a daze for more than a week.

Su Yuanyuan was rarely awake. The nurses said that Zhang Zhiying and the others had come to visit several times, but she had not woken up.

When she was awake, she would sit alone by the window, gazing at the distant scenery.

Outside the window, the golden sunset was gradually setting, casting a warm glow on her pale face.

This was the first time she had ever felt so weak in her memory. Su Yuanyuan chuckled softly, considering it a novel experience.

A sudden, sharp pain began in her chest, and each breath felt like it was draining her already fragile life force, making her face even paler.

[System, will I die after a while, or will I live like this until I'm old?]

The human body has a limited capacity to withstand stress; once the host's body can no longer endure it, death will occur.

Su Yuanyuan nodded. It's not enough to just live to old age. She had originally wanted to try the college entrance examination in this era, but she guessed she wouldn't be able to catch up.

In the quiet ward, Su Yuanyuan lay on the hospital bed, her face as pale as paper, the pain making her even weaker.

She now has no decent flesh on her body; her skin looks like it's directly glued to her bones, and her cheekbones protrude from her thin face.

This was the scene that Li Hongmei saw when she came in. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she quickly walked to the bedside, her voice choked with sobs.

"How did you get so thin?"

Su Yuanyuan smiled and tried her best to comfort her, "Don't cry, I'm fine, I just haven't been eating much."

"Still no cause found?"

Li Hongmei wiped away her tears and forced an ugly smile.

"Not yet, the doctors are still working hard. By the way, why did you come alone?"

"They've been sent out for training and won't be back for a few days. Are you sure you don't need to notify your family?"

After Li Hongmei finished speaking, she asked her again, saying that when Su Yuanyuan first woke up, they had asked for her home address, wanting to inform her parents about her hospitalization.

Su Yuanyuan initially refused, but after being asked repeatedly, she simply said that they had already gone abroad.

When Li Hongmei asked again, she sighed helplessly, "I don't have their new address now, so I can't contact them."

Li Hongmei frowned angrily, "It's been half a month already, they should have sent you a letter by now, or at least a telegram. We can't find anyone here at all."

"It's okay. I didn't want to tell them anyway. The doctors said I've just been weak and they haven't found anything wrong with me. Maybe I'll suddenly get better someday."

They chatted for a while, and Su Yuanyuan looked tired. Li Hongmei covered her with a blanket and told her to rest before leaving.

Su Yuanyuan felt like she was about to die. She could clearly sense that her time was running out. It turns out that people really can sense their impending death.

[System, am I going to die?]

Yes, host, this body has reached its limit.

Do you know the exact time?

[The host will depart in their sleep tonight.]
