"Then you..." Wu Xie asked through gritted teeth.

"It will be alright," Ling Xiao comforted him.

"Is it because you're trying to peek into the secrets of heaven?" the young man asked.

Peeping into the secrets of heaven? He'd heard the stories, so maybe he could? But his lifespan really had nothing to do with that... but he knew what they were worried about.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Not really, don't worry, I definitely won't only stay for ten days!"

“From now on, no more calculations. If you need anything, I’ll find it for you!” the deliveryman said decisively.

"What? You don't believe me?" Ling Xiao shook his head. "Look, I'm in great physical condition, don't worry!"

[Host, today is the 14th]

"Really?"

[Host, you still owe one more punishment]

'I know, this is too terrible for me...'

"Wu Xie, can you help me get discharged from the hospital?" Ling Xiao looked at Wu Xie pitifully.

"No! How can you be discharged in this condition?" Wu Xie stopped him.

“That’s right, Lingzi, this is no joke,” the fat man said, also becoming nervous.

The young man kept his eyes fixed on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao said helplessly, "Can we go somewhere else? I don't like hospitals, and I'm hungry." He looked at Wu Xie pitifully and acted coquettishly.

Wu Xie then asked, "Can you move?"

Ling Xiao got off the bed and gestured to show that he was fine. Although he was still in some pain, his blood vessels were still functioning.

Wu Xie glanced at him and couldn't bear to look. Although Ling Xiao had a great physique, he was shirtless and practicing inauthentic Tai Chi...

The young man said, "Let's go eat first, then come back to the hospital."

Seeing this, Ling Xiao nodded. As long as he could get out, that was fine. He could slip away under the pretext of going to the toilet and come back to apologize after the 15th.

However, he still needs to see a psychiatrist when he has the chance; he strongly suspects he has mental problems… He still can't accept the fact that he time-traveled…

Ling Xiao took a quick shower at the hospital, then put on the clothes Wu Xie had prepared for him, and the group of friends went to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Ling Xiao said he needed to use the restroom. His older brother followed him closely. Ling Xiao knew that his older brother and the others were worried about him, so he obediently returned home on his first trip.

After a while, he needed to go to the toilet again. He said he might have eaten something bad, so this time he went by himself. He climbed out of the toilet window and ran away.

After a while, Wuxie Fatty and Xiao Ge realized that the person had not returned, so the three of them went to the toilet to look for him, but there was no one there.

The fat man said, "Damn it, I knew this bastard wouldn't have anything good to say!"

Wu Xie: "Why did he leave?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back first."

"Go back? Aren't we going to look for him? This kid shouldn't have gone far!" the fat man said.

"He'll be back," the young man said.

"How did you know?" Wu Xie asked.

"I have a feeling," the young man replied. Through his observation, it seemed that Wu Xie was very important to Ling Xiao, so Ling Xiao would come back if Wu Xie was around.

On the other side, after Ling Xiao escaped, he began making requests to the system.

"Hey, boss, at least give me some money! What if I die out there?"

Only the weak die.

'I am the weak one, that's for sure!'

[...The host must find a solution himself]

Ling Xiao was utterly speechless. He truly couldn't understand what kind of suffering or resentment could lead to encountering this system...

He walked a long way and came to the bottom of a stone cave. It seemed that no one had ever been there before. He went inside and began the system's punishment.

After a series of electric shocks, Ling Xiao laughed heartily. He could finally endure the pain and no longer had to bite his lip. He even found the electric shocks pleasurable.

As night fell, Ling Xiao was so tired that he lay down on the cold ground and fell asleep. At midnight, a sharp pain woke him up, as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart, or as if he were being slowly sliced ​​to death. The pain in his heart made it hard for him to breathe, and it felt as if his flesh was being cut off piece by piece, or as if ants were gnawing at his bones.

Ling Xiao gripped the wall tightly, his ten fingers were worn raw, but he felt nothing. He endured the pain for four hours, vomiting blood several times. Then, he felt his upper body burning with heat, as if it were soaking in steam. He took off his shirt, revealing a tattoo of a spider lily on his chest. Its branches slowly climbed, inching towards Ling Xiao's neck, behind his ears, and towards his face.

He kept telling himself, "I can't faint."

Ling Xiao's eyes instantly turned blood red, and his mind went blank. By the time Ling Xiao came to his senses, it was already dawn.

Ling Xiao lay motionless on the ground. For the first time, he felt the pain of despair, a pain that made him wish he were dead.

He rested for a while, put on his clothes, and ran back to the hospital.

The three people were still in the hospital; none of them were asleep, and they waited for him to return with red eyes.

He saw the three people through the small window in the door, felt extremely guilty, slowly walked in, and said to them, "I'm sorry."

Wu Xie looked at his discolored hair and was instantly furious: "So you left to dye your hair?"

"Dyed hair?" Ling Xiao touched his head, then rushed into the bathroom. In the mirror, he saw his hair—it was completely red…

Even the corners of his eyes were tinged with red, making him look even more alluring... He knew that was the color of the red spider lily.

He washed the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked out, and said to the three of them, "I got a trendy haircut, does it look good?"

The fat man was so angry he was convulsing: "You son of a bitch, you just abandoned the three of us and ran away like that, and what kind of hairstyle did you get? Are you trying to be the son of the sea?"

Ling Xiao smiled and gave each of his three brothers a hug, saying, "Brothers, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"

The fat man then noticed Ling Xiao's injured hand and exclaimed, "How did you get this hand like that? You can see the bone!"

Ling Xiao chuckled: "I tripped and fell while running."

"Thank you for waiting for me all night." Ling Xiao lowered his head in remorse.

“Lingzi, you’ve saved me so many times, how could I possibly abandon my savior? You can’t just leave us without a word again! This is the only time, and it will never happen again!” Wuxie said.

“Yeah, Lingzi, to be honest, Fatty and I hit it off the moment we met. You might not believe it, but this feeling is even closer than that of blood brothers! You can’t do such dangerous things anymore. What are you looking for? We’ll find it for you!” Fatty chimed in.

Ling Xiao was taken aback. Instant connection? Could it be the fat man? Could the answer to leaving this world lie in this fat man?
