As soon as her eyelids opened and closed, the cold white light shone into Liu Ye's sight, and the girl in the yellow dress held an old music box with a pair of white hands, chanting words in front of his head.

"Eh, it really works!" said the girl, looking up excitedly, and looking at Vanessa, who was standing with her hands on her chest and an indifferent expression.

"If you really think it's the role of this music box, which has nothing to offer in terms of shape, color, or craftsmanship, then be it. I can't give a more reasonable explanation anyway. ”

Shi Lan didn't say anything, just held her chin with one hand and looked at the sleepy-eyed Liu Ye with wide eyes, her eyes were full of joy. Originally, I just used the music box with the attitude of trying, but I didn't expect the boy to really wake up.

"Here it is...... What is it?" Liu Ye looked around, this was a fairly clean and tidy ward, most of the arrangements were no different from the regular wards, but he couldn't recognize the oil paintings hanging on the wall, different from the more common figure paintings and landscape paintings, the oil paintings here seemed to be painted with different forms of totems.

Some of them looked familiar to him, but he couldn't find the corresponding patterns in his memory.

"This is the Bald Doctor's Clinic, and he's a great doctor!" said Shi Lan seriously.

"Bald doctor?" Liu Ye turned his inquiring gaze to Vanessa who was standing by the window, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.

Her face was sprinkled with bits of gold sown by the setting sun, the pale yellow curtains were gently blown up by the breeze, slowly fluttering behind her, and her long gray hair was scattered in the wind, exuding a vicissitudes that did not match her age.

How old is she? Liu Ye didn't know the specific number, but according to the time of the Scarlet October Plan, Vanessa would be eighteen or nineteen years old at most, which was said to be the right age for youth, but the gray wrapped in her long hair was ......

Liu Ye's eyelids drooped slightly, and he secretly clenched his fists, and the quilt was brought out by his fingers.

To the high-tech and Tianyi workshop...... And those who are still hiding in the darkness behind the scenes, he will definitely make them pay the corresponding price and get the punishment they deserve.

"Bald doctor—a doctor with almost no hair. Vanessa looked thoughtful and patted her cheek with her right hand, "I don't know what his name is, but a lot of people know him." Because he only cares about healing and saving people, he never asks the identity and origin of the patient, nor does he care whether the patient is the most evil or the most holy, because it is the same for him, and everyone here is just a patient. ”

"Who will be saved?" Liu Ye was a little surprised. If it is an ordinary doctor, it should be avoided for those patients of unknown origin, after all, it is possible to get into any trouble if you save these people, but this bald doctor actually did not refuse, there must be something unusual about it.

Or a strong backer, or some special dependence.

"Yes, the bald doctor is the best doctor in the world. As long as the patient still has a breath, he can save that person's life, and it is said that he is the life-saving benefactor of many big people, but he has always kept a low profile. In his words, it's ......," Vanessa said after a moment's thought, "it's that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong." ”

"......" Liu Ye was speechless for a while, the bald doctor's original words should not be this, but he understood the general meaning.

In today's era of information super-explosion, this clever doctor lives a life like idle clouds and wild cranes, a bit like the ancient legend of the underworld who controls the entrances and exits of the two worlds of life and death, only responsible for doing things, not asking who comes.

"Yo, young man, you're awake. The door to the ward was opened, and the man came a middle-aged man with almost negligible hair that was thinning, "How do you feel?

Is this what Vanessa said about the bald doctor? Liu Ye looked him up and down, looking kind, and his tone was very gentle, feeling that he was not a bad person.

"No more. Liu Ye shook his head slightly, after waking up this time, the wave-like weakness that had been churning in his mind before had completely disappeared, and his body had finally returned to a state where he could freely use magic to fight.

"It seems that the Constantin reagent still has a certain effect, in relieving excessive mental fatigue. The bald doctor smiled and nodded, "You can stay here for a few more days, and if you feel fine, you can leave at any time, the medical fee Vanessa has already ended." ”

"It's over?" Liu Ye and Shi Lan snorted softly at the same time, turning their heads to look at Vanessa by the window, who had an indifferent expression, as if he had just done a trivial matter.

"Isn't that weird? this is ......" Vanessa frowned, "this is a reward for you, after all, you saved my life before, and I don't want to owe you a favor." ”

"Uh...... Actually, I'm more concerned about what money you used to pay......" The corners of Liu Ye's eyes twitched slightly, "It can't be stolen and robbed......"

"Hmph, you don't care where the money comes from!" Vanessa turned her head angrily, "It's all the right way anyway." ”

Liu Ye shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly, he saw the bald doctor standing by the bedside all the time, as if he had something to say.

"Shilan, you and Vanessa go out and buy me something to eat, I'm a little hungry after lying down for so long. ”

"Okay! Wait, we'll be right back!"

"Hey, hey, wait, I didn't say I was going......"

Vanessa was dragged out of the hospital room by Shilan.

"Doctor, do you have something to say to me alone?" Liu Ye said, "Yes...... About my body?"

"I'm a doctor, at least here, and I have to be responsible for my patients. "There are some things I have to ask your opinion to decide whether to tell them or not." ”

“...... Please speak. Liu Ye nodded slightly.

"You're in a very strange state, and your temperature was only twenty-five degrees when Vanessa brought you here, which is not the body temperature of a living person. "I gave you a full body exam, but the results were quite unexpected. ”

"Out of the ordinary...... Unexpected?"

"There's nothing wrong with your body, the coma seems to be just the result of overexertion, and the abnormal brain waves are nothing more than because you're going through a dream. In the past thirty years, I have seen patients with all kinds of strange diseases, and I have seen you before, but only once. "So I took a similar treatment to that time, and it worked, which is a blessing in disguise." ”

"Have you seen it once?" Liu Ye's eyes flashed, he knew best in his own body, coma was a side effect of excessive use of magic magic, as for the messy and fragmented dream memory fragments, it was very likely that it was just a nonsense made up by his own brain. This doctor actually met a patient with the same symptoms as him once, and so did that person......

No, it shouldn't be. The original magical text of the Phantom Array, "A Thousand Illusions of Glass", had only been brought out of the underground ruins of Italy a few months ago, and until then, the magic should have been in a sealed state.

Even now, anyone who is familiar with and can use magic can only snatch the original "mirror" from him in the English Channel.

"Well," said the bald doctor, "I can't reveal information about other patients. With the basics out of the way, here's the most important thing. ”

"I'm listening, doctor. ”

"A perfectly balanced body does not exist in the real world, and any small disturbance can disrupt the balance in the human body, and the so-called state of health is a process of dynamic equilibrium that alternates repeatedly. "It's an iron law in medicine, but in you, it's no longer working." ”

"Failed?" Liu Ye narrowed his eyes.

"Your body's metrics are perfect, in line with the optimal values of all the measurements. "Even if you have a severe shoulder bone injury, it's impossible for the blood cells in your blood to stay at the healthiest index." There can only be one reason for this. ”

“......”

"Magic. The bald doctor said slowly, "Son, you've been tricked by someone else. ”

Liu Ye's pupils shrank suddenly, and a layer of cold and biting ice mist filled his body.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a doctor, kid, you don't have to be so nervous. The bald doctor smiled, a few folds piled up on his cheeks, "You're safe here, no one is going to make trouble here." ”

Liu Ye's eyes flashed, his face relaxed slightly, and the ice mist outside his body gradually disappeared.

"I didn't know anything about this procedure, and I didn't have a suitable solution. The bald doctor shook his head, "Based on the current situation, it seems to be a kind of magic that forcibly maintains your body in a standard state, which is very similar to the property of a curse, except that usually a curse drags a person's body to a state of death.

"Cursed ......" Liu Ye remembered that a few months ago, the only survivor of the Yurius family's extermination case, the little maid, was cursed.

"I don't know what that person's purpose is, but doing so will greatly shorten your life. Judging from this point, he certainly didn't do it with kindness to you. "It's unknown how long the time limit will be, but it's certain that the stronger your magic and the more often you cast it, the faster your life force will drain." ”

"I ...... How much time is left. Liu Ye took a deep breath and asked.

"Pessimistically estimated, less than a year. The bald doctor replied, "Of course, if you don't use magic again, maybe it can be extended to three or even five years." ”

"One year...... Three years, five years. Liu Ye chewed these three words word by word like chewing broad beans.

This is not good news.

But instead of a look of despair, the boy's face smiled.

"I don't think the man who cast the spell on me should have waited that long. Liu Ye said.

"Indeed, finding the initiator of everything is the quickest and most direct solution, after all, any magic can find a solution as long as it knows the composition of the spell. ”

"Thank you for telling me this, doctor. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, and it's my duty to tell the patient everything truthfully. "Looks like you've made up your mind to tell those two children about this?"

"I want to ...... No need. ”

"That's fine. The bald doctor nodded, "You can stay here as long as you want until you're ready, I don't dare to say anywhere else, but in this clinic, you're absolutely safe." ”

With that, he walked towards the door of the ward.

"Doctor......" Liu Ye suddenly stopped him from behind, "Why are you helping me?"

"Child, you don't need a reason to save someone. The bald doctor said, "Do you want me to continue?"

“...... Thank you. ”

When the bald doctor opened the door to the ward, Shilan took Vanessa's hand and ran in like a cheerful fawn, each carrying a bag full of steaming boxes.

"This is xiao long bao! This is crystal shrimp! This is ...... I'll take a look at ......" Shilan's eyes widened as she looked at the small ticket that was blurred by the bag, "Strawberry beef, mango squid, hmm...... Can you eat this thing?"

"I don't know. Vanessa reached out and stroked the gray and white hair that hung down in front of her eyes, and said with a playful expression, "Who told you to pay for these messy 'delicacies' without even looking carefully, just because they smelled?" ”

"Hey, Vanessa, obviously you chose these two boxes, right?" Shi Lan raised the bag in her right hand, "I still have a lot of experience in terms of 'eating'. ”

"Ahem......" Vanessa, who was drinking water, suddenly choked and coughed repeatedly.

"Hmph, then let him judge whose taste buds are wrong. Shi Lan picked up a small table and put it on Liu Ye's hospital bed, and lined up the boxes of dishes in the bag on the table, all kinds of warm aromas filled the ward, the breath of life.

In fact, a few minutes ago.

"Did you hear that?" Vanessa said softly.

"I heard it, and I heard it very clearly. Shilan gritted her teeth, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

The two girls hiding in the corner of the hallway looked at each other's faces.

Does he have less than a year left to live?

The air around them became scorched, and an invisible fire spread.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's because we're in despair that we have to be hopeful. Shi Lan exhaled deeply, changed into a bright smile, and gently shook the steaming bag in her hand, "Let's go and send him some hope." ”
