Chapter 410: A Way to Save Chu Jiajia
Late at night, in the quiet corridor of the hospital, Rococo and Head Nurse Bai sat next to each other on the bench outside the ward, and the silence lasted for a while, and finally, Head Nurse Bai spoke first.
“…… Little sister Rococo, I heard Chu Jia say before, you met in the game "Redemption", right? ”
Rococo looked up, and after a moment of slight reaction from his nerves, which had been somewhat dulled by sadness, he nodded slowly.
"It's really rare for friends I met on the Internet to be able to do something like you and Chu Jia, unless it's a close relative, even if it's a lot of relatives and friends in reality, maybe they won't be like you in the same situation."
Nurse Bai said with some emotion, Rococo lowered his head again, and after a short while, his voice spoke in a dull voice.
"Jiajia, she's my best friend."
Nurse Bai looked at Rococo who lowered his head, his arm moved slightly, but in the end he still resisted the urge to raise his hand to stroke the rococo hair to comfort her, although they knew each other because of Chu Jiajia, but after all, they were not so familiar with each other.
In the current news media, there are reports of all kinds of unpleasant things between young netizens after the actual meeting, such as the online friendship between Chu Jia and this Rococo little sister, which is really rare.
"Actually, I'm also a player of Redemption."
Rococo raised his head again, not knowing why Nurse Bai suddenly said this, seeing Rococo's puzzled eyes, Nurse Bai showed a helpless wry smile on his face.
"It's just that because I often have to work night shifts, I can't be online every day like many people, so I'm a casual player in the game...... Because I work in a hospital in real life, I also chose a career as a priest in the game. It's really nice to help save people in the game, although doing this line of work is destined to be more knowledgeable than ordinary people - parting and helplessness, but sure enough, if possible, I still want to help more people. ”
Speaking of this, Nurse Bai turned her head to look at Chu Jiajia's wards, her expression revealing a trace of sadness.
"When I see the patients I am responsible for, I occasionally wonder if there could be a healing magic like the one in the game."
Speaking of this, it seemed that he felt ridiculous, and Nurse Bai shook his head bitterly.
"According to the background setting in the game, the priest believes in the goddess of creation, and the magic skills with healing effects are also the blessings of the goddess, but unfortunately, there is no such god in reality, if it really exists...... That god is too ruthless for Chu Jia, and she has obviously borne so many misfortunes......"
Obviously having already borne so many misfortunes, why did even the only new treatment that was the only hope turn into a "shortcut" to despair, and the worsening side effects of the condition, which had a lower probability of success than the cure, appeared in this poor girl without reason...... Nurse Bai didn't say what she was thinking, she was a little worried that it would stimulate Rococo, but she didn't know that her unintentional words actually became an opportunity to change, or to promote the turning point of the fate of the two girls.
“…… Lord Kamikai...... ......"
Whispering the helpless joke of Nurse Bai, an idea popped up in Rococo's mind that she was not very sure of, but it was enough to excite her.
“…… Head Nurse Bai, I'm sorry, I'm a little tired today, I'll take care of Jiajia, so I'll leave it to you. ”
"Well, don't worry...... Huh? Where are you going? ”
"I'll go home."
"Huh? Right now? Little sister Rococo, it's already 1 o'clock in the morning, and the hospital has long been closed, are you sure you want to go home alone at this time? It's too dangerous! We have a resting bed at the nurses' station, why don't you go there and sleep for a while? ”
"It's okay, Head Nurse Bai," Rococo didn't listen to Head Nurse Bai's dissuasion, and shook his head stubbornly, "I'll call my family to pick me up, Head Nurse Bai, please help me open the main entrance of the hospital, I have something urgent to go home." ”

After contacting Mira, soon, the exclusive car of the CEO of the Genesis Group drove to the gate of the S Central Hospital, and after saying goodbye to the head nurse Bai who was relieved to confirm that someone was really picking him up, Rococo got into the car and returned to the headquarters of the Genesis Group in silence.
On the top floor, Rococo pushed open the door of the president's office and walked quickly to Mira, who was sitting at her desk and was boredly flipping through a book.
"Done? Do you want to send you back now? ”
said this, but as Rococo got closer, Mira also noticed that Rococo had a somewhat different aura under his eyes, and raised his head, Mira turned her questioning gaze to Rococo.
"What's wrong? Looks like you have something to tell me? ”
"Well, Mistress Mira......"
Rococo clenched his fists, and after calming down his mood, his voice was a little dry but firm.
"Mira-sama, I don't know about you...... Can you save Jiajia? ”
A minute of silence, in the senses of Rococo, seemed like a year had passed. Eventually, Mira sighed and placed the book on the table.
"I can't."
“…… Why? ”
Rococo's reaction made Mira raise her eyebrows a little unexpectedly, she originally thought that with the friendship and bond between Rococo and Chu Jiajia, after hearing her refusal, she should at least be more emotional, even if she was not angry. But for now, Rococo was calm, as if he had lost hope when he asked the question from the beginning.
"Everyone has their own destiny, that girl, just ushered in her destined ending."
Hearing the word "fate", the calm Rococo's face finally changed slightly, but the trace of unhappiness was only fleeting, and then Rococo regained its calm again.
"But in this earthly time and space, Lord Mira, the law authority you have is equivalent to that of a god, and you can even go back in time, why can't you modify the fate of an ordinary person."
"When I say 'can't', I don't mean a matter of difficulty," Mira waved her hand, "My law authority is equivalent to that of a god, but after all, I am not a god but only a law manager, and the most important principle of action I need to abide by is not to let the fate line naturally formed by the law of fate cause chaos." It is indeed far more difficult to go back to the timeline of the entire earth time and space than to modify the fate of an ordinary person, but going back to the timeline does not involve much subjective interference and modification of the fate of the direction, at most it can only be regarded as a reset, although this practice will change the direction of the fate line, but it will hardly cause chaos, but if it is modified by my subjective will in the established fate, even if it is only a small change, it may cause chaos in the fate line of the entire world.
"To use an inappropriate analogy, this is equivalent to building a building, moving out all the residents of the building and then demolishing and rebuilding, although it is troublesome and laborious, but there is no danger to the residents, but if you change the structure of the building while the residents are still living, even if it is just to remove a brick, it also means that the residents in the building need to take an unknown risk."
Speaking of this, Mira spread her hands to Rococo, saying that she really couldn't do anything, but Rococo pursed her lips and didn't give up.
"But, Mistress Mira, even if you say so, there are exceptions."
Mira's expression finally changed slightly, as if to hide her embarrassment, or to hide some other emotion, Mira brought the cap placed on the side of the table to her head and covered her eyes with the brim.
"If you're talking about your own situation...... That's right, I'll admit it, it's true that you're an exception, and the pact I made with you to make you a human as long as I save the continent of Emissia is indeed artificially modifying your fate, but...... Rococo, you have to remember that you can be exceptional because you are special. ”
That's right, it is precisely because it is a strange digital life that should not appear and is not welcome to appear in the normal law system of the earth, that Mira, the law manager, can have contact with the "creation" of Rococo beyond the convention of the law and even establish a law contract, but the truth of this Mira can't be explained to Rococo in detail - can she still tell Rococo that in fact, the law system of this earth's space-time has long wanted her to disappear as soon as possible no matter what means are used.
"I can't understand ......"
Rococo really showed a little annoyed and a little confused as Mila thought, it was the first time she heard from Mira that she was "special", although she also knew that her digital life was indeed a special existence compared to the creatures on the earth, but this "special" in Mira's mouth always made Rococo have a profound feeling.
But Mira obviously didn't want to explain anything anymore, just raised the brim of her hat slightly and looked at her, Rococo knew that he would never be able to get Mila to agree to treat Jiajia, but fortunately, she still had one last resort.
"Mira-sama, because I am special, you can make a legal pact with me that will give me the opportunity to become a human...... So, what if I'm willing to give up the original contract reward and ask you to save Jiajia instead? ”
sighed lightly, because of the obscuration of the brim of the hat, Rococo did not see Mira's expression at this time, it was a kind of helplessness that had been expected a long time ago.
“…… I'm sorry, Coco, even if that's the case, I can't do it, and because this is a law contract between you and me, the content of the contract can only involve the changes of you alone in this earthly space-time...... But ......"
Just when Rococo's expression was completely dimmed by Mira's words, Mira raised the brim of her hat and looked at Rococo with a complicated expression.
“…… It's not that there is no way to compromise, I can't modify Chu Jiajia's due fate in the earth's time and space, but as the God of Creation, my sister Arya has the right to have an extra girl named 'Chu Jiajia' in the world she created. ”
