Chapter 6 Caught in Bed?
When Li Bai opened his eyes again, he found that he had moved away from the dusty ruins in his memory.
Isis...... Miss? She immediately saw that the woman who had given her advice was sitting beside her with a sad face, still holding a wet towel in her hand, as if in a daze; After waking up her attention, Li Bai shifted his gaze to the environment he was in, wanting to see what this place was.
She was lying on a bed with plain sheets, the bed was placed in the small bedroom, which took up a third of its space, and the other third was occupied by another bed, on which were also lying people, and the middle hallway connected to the door, and there was a cabinet a few centimeters high at the head of the bed, where the television was placed.
"Where is this?"
"A small hotel in Xicheng District, although the conditions are a little worse, but only here does not need to be registered...... Don't move. Isis reached out and pressed her back to bed, wiping her forehead with the wet towel in her hand.
The cold, wet towel touched her skin, giving some relief to the girl's uneasy feelings, and she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
There was a burst of pain from the wound on the right hand near the shoulder, but it was much milder than when it first appeared, Li Bai turned her head to observe: it had been neatly wrapped in a white bandage, and it seemed to be medicated, and she could feel a trace of coolness in the pain.
Other than that, there doesn't seem to be a more serious injury, there is a sour feeling in the limbs, and there seem to be abrasions in the joints.
It seemed that she was lucky to fall from such a high place and only suffered these minor injuries.
"Does Miss Isis have any research in medicine?" She asked softly.
"Although I've seen a lot of people who work in archaeology and excavations have accidents...... Unfortunately, I don't know much about medicine. The towel was already a little dry, Isis withdrew her hand, and slipped the towel into the basin next to it to re-wet it, she glanced at the girl's wound, "Are you wondering if this injury can be recovered?" β
"Hmm...... As...... IF IT WAS AN ARM, I REMEMBER I ASKED JOKER TO TAKE IT BACK......" Li Bai was a little hesitant, she didn't dare to ask the question she was most concerned about directly, because she was afraid of getting the worst answer.
The strange feelings of fighting JOKER disappeared with the end of the duel, eliminating these and the tension of life and death, and she had to face the harsh reality of what she would do if she did lose her right hand.
Duels could not be fought with one hand in any case, and if modern medical technology could not meet the requirements of attaching a severed limb, she would be left with two options: one-armed and prosthetic.
The girl's heart was empty, and she subconsciously understood that even if medicine could satisfy her, surgery must be performed immediately, because the sooner this kind of thing happens, the higher the success rate...... But then she will have to say goodbye to this duel city, and the top eight places will be set before 9 o'clock tonight, and it is impossible to catch up.
She knew all of this, so she didn't dare to think about it.
βJOKERοΌ Do you mean this kid. Isis turned sideways, revealing the head of another bed, on which the same long-haired girl was lying, not knowing whether she was asleep or still unconscious.
"She's not lightly injured, and she won't wake up for a while." "Broken ribs, left hand below the wrist...... Among you is the most seriously injured, and I have already found someone to deal with your injuries, but it is better to send them to a regular hospital as much as possible. β
"As for the arm you mentioned, I've already sent someone to the hospital, although I don't know if there is any hope of catching it, but you should leave for the hospital as soon as possible."
"But then I'll miss ......"
"Whether it's a momentary game or your future development is important, you know better than me." Isis fished the towel out of the basin, wrung it out, and folded it into a long strip and placed it on the girl's forehead, "Although I am also a duelist, I can understand your current mood...... But now is not the time to be willful, Li Bai. Seahorse doesn't know anything about your accident yet, and I think he'll agree with me too. β
"Brother doesn't know yet?" Li Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.
ββ¦β¦ This is already rare good news. β
She didn't want to affect the seapony's battle because of her own reasons, and she had originally planned to share the burden for the seaponie...... If this affects him because of this, then he will become a drag again.
As for whether or not to give up this duel city...... The girl clenched her remaining left hand hard.
"Perhaps...... I mean, maybe, maybe there's another way......" She looked at the Egyptian woman in front of her, her eyes tingling with hope: "Isis, since the thousand-year-old artifacts have been passed down as part of the myth, and those god cards...... So is there anything else, uh, a little more realistic......"
"For example, such as a spell to regenerate a severed limb or something......"
"That kind of thing doesn't exist in zΓ i." Isis didn't know what expression to look at her now, or whether she was too imaginative.
"The thousand-year-old artifact is a secret treasure produced by solidifying 7 different powers, and their specific effects are all the most noble yearning of human beings, and it is impossible to contain this kind of spell."
"The millennium building block symbolizes unity and cohesion; The millennium wheel is also known as the wheel of wisdom because of its mysteries and changes. β
"The thousand-year-old tin staff can control people's hearts, and it is also the only artifact with a sword blade among the seven artifacts, which represents power and power."
"Millennial jewelry can see through the future, and millennium eyes can see through thinking, they are the condensation of various wishes in people's hearts."
"The millennium scale represents balance, and the millennium key is the breaking of evil and seals...... The spells you mentioned may have been recorded in the ancient Book of the Living, but after all, those things have all died out like a thousand-year-old artifact that can be preserved to this day. β
Isis stated the truth in it, trying to dispel Li Bai's luck mentality.
"So you just go to the hospital honestly and don't think about these strange things."
β¦β¦ Say it as if it's not strange what you're wearing around your neck.
Li Bai stared at her thousand-year-old jewelry speechlessly, but she didn't notice that the other party was also staring at her chest.
"I still have one of the most curious questions......" After making a secret decision, she also noticed something very strange.
"How did Miss Isis first appear in Xicheng District?"
She knew that Isis would be the eighth and most mysterious quarterfinalist in the original book, and the original book did not mention where she should appear at this time, but if she happened to pass by the scene of the collapse of the office building and rescued them...... This probability is really a bit low, and she can't believe it.
"You made a lot of trouble this time, the new commercial street was destroyed by a full fifth, plus this competition, the city security must be in a hurry, I also happened to pass by, plus a few decent people helped out."
Isis was a little embarrassed to retract her gaze that was originally staring directly at the girl's chest, she quickly glanced at the other party's expression with the corner of her eye, and only after finding that there was nothing unusual before giving this decent explanation.
"Really?" The girl looked at her suspiciously.
She really didn't believe in such simple excuses, and no matter how she listened to them, it felt illusory.
"What else could I do...... As I said, I can't predict your future, so naturally I can't be waiting there on purpose to save you. Isis reached out and took the towel off her head, and knocked on the door of her smooth head again: "Since you have woken up, then hurry to the hospital, the van at the door was arranged for you by my people." β
As she stood up, the Egyptian woman looked at the girl on the other bed with a complicated look.
"There was a stretcher in the car...... Don't forget to take her with you when you go. β
"Wait!" Li Bai saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly stopped her, "In the city...... How's going on in the castle? Why didn't you mention him before? β
BOTH HE AND JOKER HAD MORE OR LESS INJURIES, AND THAT GUY WAS IN A COMA AT THE TIME, SO HE WOULDN'T HAVE DIED DIRECTLY......
"You mean the yellow-haired boy...... If you don't, I'll forget about him. Isis looked as if she remembered something, "He's got a lot better luck than all of you, he got stuck between two mats when we arrived at the scene, just a little out of breath, and was back in the city...... It's something he's left behind. β
She picked up a card from the stand-up cabinet at the head of the JOKER bed and handed it to Li Bai.
"...... this?"
"I don't know exactly what your relationship is, but he seems to be very remorseful when he sees your injuries." Isis looked at Li Bai's puzzled expression, and a rare smile appeared in her eyes, "This is the card he asked me to transfer to you, saying that you will keep it for the time being - until he is truly qualified to become the owner of this card." β
Entrust it to me for safekeeping? Could it be......
When Li Bai heard this, she had already guessed the content of the card, but when she really held it, she could feel that the unwillingness and remorse left by the previous owner on this card was like a sad black dragon, with eyes of the same color as hers.
[True Red-Eyed Black Dragon]: Dragon/Dark, Level 7, Attack Power 2400, Garrison Power 2000; History: A black dragon with a true red pupil, the angry flames of hell will burn away every qiΔ reflected in his eyes.
ββ¦β¦ That idiot. Li Bai didn't pay attention to the system prompts that came to mind synchronously, and she was now reflecting on all the decisions she had made since the start of the game.
If she hadn't taken it for granted in the first place, and instead directed the castle directly to Kyoko and them, maybe this qiΔ wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have ended up like this if she hadn't chased Joker alone.
She stared at the true red-eyed black dragon in her hand.
What was I ...... in the first place? What do you think......
Closing the door, Isis leaned against it, exhaled deeply, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and walked out of the hotel as usual.
Shady, I've done what you asked me to do.
But how long will it last...... It's still up to her.
The corridor of the hotel was pitch black, and there was not even a trace of light in sight, and the thousand-year-old artifact that originally had a faint halo seemed to have exhausted its strength, hanging like an ordinary jewelry around the owner's neck, and disappeared with her at the end of the corridor.
Li Bai put away the cards in his hand and rubbed them to the ground, picking up the dueling plate at the end of the bed.
It included another grand event of hatred between the Tomb Guardian Clan and the Pharaoh and the rivalry of the three gods, and she really didn't want to give up.
Even at the risk of losing an arm, she wanted to keep fighting, and aside from the many reasons, there was a strong instinct within her that drove her to do so.
If you don't have a right hand, find someone to play the cards for you, just make sure that the instructions are given by me, it should be allowed...... It's hard to hide it from the seahorse, so what should I do......
Li Bai stood up and found that the white gauze skirt on his body had been torn because of the tearing when treating the wound, and there was a big hole on the right side up to the waist, and the snow-white thighs were exposed to the air, and even the edge of the small nene could be seen.
β¦β¦ I can't go out and meet people like this.
The girl scanned the room, but found no extra clothes, it seemed to be a small hotel as Isis said, in very poor condition, and there was not even a raincoat in the closet.
After some unsuccessful searching, Li Bai seemed to have thought of something, slowly turned his head, and set his eyes on JOKER, who was still unconscious.
JOKER was still wearing the wide black robe, this robe didn't know what material it was made of, after experiencing such a dangerous situation, it was only slightly damaged, Li Bai went to bed and lifted the robe, and found that JOKER was a lilac yarn inside
Clothing.
Hey...... It's good to wear it inside, and I don't need to be polite anymore.
THE GIRL SNEERED, CAREFULLY REACHED INTO THE ROBE, AND BEGAN TO CLUMSILY UNTIE THE BLACK ROBE WITH ONE HAND, BUT SHE SOON FOUND THAT SHE HAD SEARCHED ALL OVER JOKER'S BODY AND COULD NOT FIND THE BUTTONS OR ZIPPERS OF THE ROBE.
No way? Is this thing actually a pullover?
THE GIRL WAILS INWARDLY, WHICH MEANS THAT SHE MUST REMOVE IT FROM THE OTHER PERSON IN THE OPPOSITE WAY, BECAUSE JOKER IS INJURED AND HER MOVEMENTS MUST BE VERY CAREFUL, WHICH IS A TROUBLESOME JOB EVEN IF HER HANDS ARE STILL INTACT, NOT TO MENTION THAT SHE ONLY HAS ONE HAND NOW, OR A NON-DOMINANT HAND THAT IS NOT GOOD AT DELICATE WORK ON THE LEFT HAND.
That's why it's no surprise that Nate Blaise saw it when she opened the door.
The black-haired girl was holding Li Bai's severed arm as if she was holding a radish in her arms, and watched Li Bai drag the girl's clothes with her hands and mouth...... Half of her black robe had slipped off, which meant she was on the verge of success.
Li Bai still had a sleeve in her mouth, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at the door.
The two girls stared at each other for more than 1 minute, and then the black-haired girl swallowed her saliva, took two steps back and closed the door, and left a sentence before leaving:
"Sorry to bother, Your Highness...... You continue. β
