Chapter 59: The Final Chapter, We're Not Devils
After signing a thick stack of documents, Ogino sat in the waiting area, refreshed.
From the attitude of the doctors and nurses, he could clearly feel that this time the condition was no longer as urgent as the previous times. If nothing else, my son will be discharged from the hospital soon.
It's a pity that he can only stay with his son for another month...... These days, I have to pick out some toys for my son, so that as soon as he is discharged from the hospital, he can receive countless surprises.
What should I buy? The latest video game console must be there, and my son has said many times that he wants it.
There is also the kind of aviation model that is 12 years old+. This kind of toy is quite expensive, he used to think that his son was too young, it would be a waste to play badly, although they are not poor, but to maintain good consumption habits, so he has not bought it.
But now, Ogino Kei decisively added it to his shopping list.
He bought insurance for his family early on, and now he can use it again. Although I don't know how I will die in a month, that huge amount of insurance money will definitely allow my wife and children to live a good life.
In the past, he had actually complained about his wife's refusal to resign, but now he only feels fortunate that with this security, she will definitely be able to take care of her son if she leaves her.
Thinking of this, Ogino Keisai suddenly remembered that he hadn't told his wife about his son's illness. is really after losing their son, the two are not in a very good mental state, and gradually they have lost contact.
His wife is equipped with a big brother for the convenience of work, and Ogino Kei recalls it and finds that he still remembers the phone number, which is good.
He stood up and prepared to find a phone booth and tell his wife about it, so that the broken family could be reunited, even if it was only for a month, which should be the best month of his life.
While walking through the hallway, when he made his way to the staircase, Kei Ogino, who was full of anticipation, almost bumped into someone. It's not all because he is distracted, but also because the other party walks too fast and has the wind under his feet.
After Ogino Kei got out of the way, he habitually glanced back, in this case, the two sides would usually look at each other, and then nod to each other, which was regarded as an apology, but when he turned back, the other party completely ignored him, took five or six people, and walked away.
β¦β¦ It's rude. However, it may also be that the family members are critically ill and they can't take care of this.
Ogino Kei was in a good mood now, seeing that everyone was very tolerant, he didn't care about this kind of thing, shook his head, and quickly walked away.
He walked briskly through the neat and clean corridor to the staircase, and was about to descend when a chaotic noise came to his ears.
Ogino didn't react at first, he just stopped slightly and watched carefully, like every passerby who noticed the commotion.
As he made this observation, he noticed that the noise seemed to be coming down the hallway, behind himβand it was not an illusion, as it grew louder and clearer.
What's going on?
Ogino craned his neck from the corner and looked for a moment at the place he had just left.
From here, of course, nothing can be seen.
Considering that his son was still nearby, Ogino Kei turned around hesitantly, wanting to go back. Tell my wife for a while, it's nothing, anyway, she is still far away on a business trip, and she won't be able to come back for a while.
On the way back, several security guards hurriedly rushed past him with walkie-talkies.
When Ogino arrived, he saw a group of people in a group. The dark blue uniform of the security guard, the light-colored surgical gown of the doctor, and a few messy private clothes were mixed together, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Ogino Kei watched with countless patients and frowned deeply. While feeling disgusted with those who acted savagely, he actually felt some slight guilt in his heart.
As far as he knows, before he was reborn, although there were some family members of patients who would collapse in the hospital, curse, and even push doctors, it was still very rare to rush in with so many people to smash the field.
But now, because of his behavior as an "anchor", these things seem to have become more......
I don't know which unlucky doctor was beaten this time, if he was really innocently beaten, then after his son's operation is over, he can visit him when he is free.
Leisurely bystanders and covert condemnation, after a noisy person was pulled away and held down by the security guard, and the crowd revealed a gap, disappeared without a trace.
Ogino Kei looked at the operating table that was caught up in the chaos, and suddenly his whole body trembled. His hands and feet were cold, and he rushed over - it was his son on the operating table!
On the way to the operating room, he was unfortunately intercepted by the patient's family, and it happened to be the doctor who operated on his son!
It's a pity that Ogino Kei has only read a limited number of literary works, otherwise he would have known a long time ago that there is a kind of person who is unique in the world, all incredible things will happen to them, all conflicts revolve around them or are about to revolve around them, whether it is a pie or a rocket falling from the sky, it will definitely be one out of ten million and hit them accurately on their heads - this kind of person is collectively called the protagonist.
Unfortunately, he is now the protagonist of this virtual world.
At this moment, Shiraishi was wearing an incomparably ordinary face, mixed in with the people waiting in the hospital, watching from a distance as Ogino Kei pounced into the crowd of melees, subduing the intruders with a one-enemy three-on-one bodyguard.
To be honest, although he was the designer of Ogino Kei's life, when he thought about the script, Shiraishi didn't expect that he could act so miserably in his true colors.
However, after all, this is different from the "genuine virtual world" constructed by the world consciousness - Ogino Kei doesn't have to stay here for the rest of his life, and after experiencing this, he has to leave the illusion and return to the real world to live his own life.
And the stone flower can't maintain the set for a month at all.
If Ogino Kei is allowed to experience the bliss of the world in the illusion, and when he goes back a few days later, he will see that his son is gone, and his wife has long been gone, and the gap is huge, in case he collapses on the spot, makes up for the death of Yuta Ogawa in front of him, and then commits suicide directly, I am afraid that Shiraishi's reputation score will not be deducted to fail.
Therefore, he thought about it, the so-called tragedy is to tear up beautiful things for people to see.
And the so-called comedy is to step people into hell first, and then shake the crying parties awake: Hi brother, you just had a nightmare, in fact, you are still in the world, surprise or not? Unexpected or not?
To put it simply, having a sweet dream and being happy is 4 stars.
And having a nightmare, waking up halfway through, and realizing that you are just dreaming, the happiness level may soar to 5 stars.
After thinking about it for a while, Shiraishi's conscience really didn't hurt anymore, and he even felt that he was simply an angel.
The slight stagnation of chaos ahead continued.
β¦β¦
After finally subduing the seven or eight people, the doctors and nurses were already blue and swollen, but fortunately, they could still stand, and the scene didn't look too bloody.
But Ogino Kei saw his son lying still, he carefully shook his son twice, and after a while, he came to his senses: "Oh, did you give him anesthesia, doctor, are you okay, can you still ......"
The rest of the conversation was interrupted.
Several doctors and nurses were still covering their faces in a daze, but when they heard what he said, they immediately gathered anxiously.
Seeing their faces, Ogino Kei felt that the situation was not quite right.
When the doctor lifted the quilt and looked at it, his face changed, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, and after he pushed his son to trot to the operating room, Ogino Kei panicked even more.
"Our anesthesia is usually administered in the operating room." , and the staff who came to deal with the aftermath answered his question euphemistically:
"There was a guy who fell and got on a stretcher, but don't worry, the doctor will deal with it as soon as possible." As she spoke, she glared at a man who was being held down by a security guard.
ββ¦β¦ Good. Ogino nodded, but thought to himself, this is too "as soon as possible".
What happened to make that doctor just finished beating, and he didn't even rest for a while, and went directly to the operating room?
Ogino Kei couldn't sit still, and he no longer had the leisurely energy he had before. He had been wandering around the waiting area, and if his gaze could be turned into substance, the watch in the hall would have been stunned by him.
But time passed minute by minute, far exceeding the time required for ordinary appendicitis, and the door of the operating room still could not be opened.
This kind of long wait is all too familiar to Ogino Kei.
He tried not to think about anything, to trust the doctor, to trust his son's luck.
However, a few hours later, what was pushed out of the operating room was still a corpse.
Ogino stood up stiffly, his ears fluttering like countless bees fluttering their wings and buzzing, he could see the doctor's mouth closed in front of him, he could see their deep bows in silence and apology, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.
This time, the despair was even more than ever.
After all, his lifespan as an exchange chip has been exhausted in trading, and there is no chance to do it all over again.
Soon, time stood still again.
Looking at the young man sitting across from him, unable to see his expression clearly, Ogino Kei suddenly thought that this person might not have come to save him at all.
This time it was more like a punishment.
- Punishment for the unauthorized murder of an innocent child.
ββ¦β¦ It was my fault. Ogino Kei finally said this conclusion that he had always been reluctant to admit.
He slowly paced in front of Shiraishi, put his head on the ground, and said without hope, but refusing to give up: "I should not ignore my son's strange appearance, I should not be angry with the doctor, I should not kill that child...... It's me who is wrong, and I'm the only one who is wrong. β
"I give you all my life, and I give you the next life, and I give you my soul. Please turn back the clock to six hours ago and save my son. He didn't do anything wrong, he was brave and optimistic, he was a completely different person than me...... Please, please save him. β
The young man looked down at him, his expression calm, and his tone was extremely flat: "This timeline has been twisted to the extreme, even if I take your soul, I can't go back a few hours. β
Ogino Kei heard it, but he didn't seem to hear it.
He no longer knew what he was talking about, let alone what others were saying, but he just thought of where he was talking, like an old man who was about to die, repeating the impossible wish over and over again, not to achieve it, but just chattering like this, and when he ushered in the end, his heart could be more relaxed.
He said until his throat was dry and he could no longer breathe out the words, and he was finally forced to stop and hiss.
However, for some reason, those words still did not stagnate, and they kept echoing in Ogino Qing's ears-
ββ¦β¦ Save my son! β
ββ¦β¦ Save him! β
The tone of the crying voice was very similar to the plea he had just made, but the sound was obviously not made by him.
The abnormal situation made Ogino Qing sigh in his heart and become a little clearer.
He looked up in astonishment and found that he was no longer in the hospital hall.
- He returned to a familiar park, standing in the bright sunlight that was slanting down, and there was a sticky dark blood trail under his feet.
A few meters away, an ambulance was parked with an open door, with life-saving instruments inside, and in front of the car was Masayuki Ogawa and his son, who was firmly held by him.
The hideous knife marks that Ogino Kei had chopped with all his might before almost split the child in half, and it was all thanks to Ogawa Masayuki who could barely maintain the integrity of his body.
First responders were helpless against such a sick person β or corpse, who could not be saved by the gods, and could only comfort the father who had lost his beloved son while gently suggesting that he stay at the scene and wait for the police to arrive.
It seems that no one can see Ogino Kei, and no one pounces on him to catch him.
Ogino Kei then stood alone in place, looking at the doctor he had hated for two years. The elite was embarrassed at the moment, his face was half tearful and half bloody, and his mind was chaotic repeating over and over again:
"Save my son, please, I have done hemostatic treatment for him, there must be a ...... to save him"
Next to them, a translucent child crouched on the ground with his face covered. He glanced at Ogino Kei through his fingers, and then glanced away at his face with a complicated expression.
Looking at this scene, Ogino Kei only felt that his heart had become broken pieces, and he was thrown under the roller and crushed for a few rounds.
In a trance, he felt someone walk up to him.
"Use your lifespan, your lifespan in the next life, and your soul after reincarnation, to turn back an hour from this moment." The man asked softly, "Would you like to?"
Ogino Kei slowly trembled, he was emotional, as if he wanted to say something, but his hoarse voice couldn't spit out a word.
In the end, he just nodded his head. Tap again.
The translucent Tomoya Ogino stood up from the ambulance and looked at him in surprise.
Ogino Kei noticed his gaze and lowered his head in embarrassment, avoiding his son's clear eyes.
However, in the next second, a footstep approached, Ogino Kei was stunned, looked up in astonishment, and just saw a young figure with tears in his eyes, striding towards him.
Ogino Kei wanted to run away, but his feet were frozen, and he was reluctant to move a step, he bent down slightly, his arm was very skillful, and he picked up the child who should not have been able to touch it.
"Daddy is so handsome! I know that I can change my mistakes, and I deserve the same surname as me, and I am not sorry for the surname passed down from my ancestors! β
Ogino Tomoya said this like a little adult, while flexibly climbing on his father, hugging his neck, and kissing Ogino Kei on the face, tears and snot sobbing his face.
He wiped it casually, and carefully wiped off Hagino Kei's face, and then said in a serious voice:
"Don't do bad things in the future, I'll keep an eye on you!"
"It's been ......", before Ogino Kei could savor this sentence, the translucent figure slowly disappeared like foam after the waves had faded.
disappeared together, along with sticky blood, the crowd of onlookers, the eye-catching ambulance, and Masayuki Ogawa holding his son......
And the young corpse.
"Uncle!"
A voice came from under Ogino Kei's feet, and at the same time, he felt his trouser leg being gently tugged at by a small hand.
Ogino Kei lowered his head in a daze, and met a pair of eyes that were so smart that he wanted to cry.
Yuta Ogawa held the plane with shiny eyes, his whole body was full of happiness, and small flowers almost floated out of his head:
"Look, I've got it done! We can try to make it take off! β
He waited expectantly for a while, but the man in front of him did not react at all. Ogawa Yongta hesitated, withdrew his hand, and looked at the model he was holding again, was it not right?
Before he could recheck, a figure suddenly approached, and someone hugged him.
This embrace was extremely heavy, very different from his father's gentle hug, which made Yuta Ogawa very unaccustomed.
He turned his head in confusion and saw the uncle who had given him the gift weeping silently, tears running down the fine wrinkles and onto his shoulders.
Yuta Ogawa's eyes jumped, a little disgusted.
But the other party was crying so sadly, he always felt that it didn't seem good to push people away at this time, so he couldn't help it.
Tilting his head and thinking for a while, he suddenly realized.
"Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"
Ogawa Yong patted him twice on his broad back like a man, and said with a little pride:
"My dad is a very good doctor, let's go to the hospital and let him help you! β¦β¦ Eh, but you seem to be his colleague? You don't know what kind of illness you have, did you not study seriously when you were in school? β
Ogino Kei shook his head, didn't say a word, knelt on the ground, and cried like a two-hundred-pound child.
Yuta Ogawa felt the wet stain on his shoulders getting bigger and bigger, and he gradually stiffened a little.
However, after shaking the model airplane in his hand, he felt that he could endure it a little longer.
People who are sick are fragile and need to be cared for, and adults are the same.
When he was learning to be an adult and patting Ogino Kei's back comfortingly, suddenly, he saw several people running anxiously in the distance.
At the front, it was actually a child who looked like he was the same age, Yuta Ogawa thought it was his classmate at first, but after a few glances, he knew it wasn't, so he quickly looked away and looked at the other person who was close behind.
He raised his hand from the gap in Ogino Kei's arms and waved, "Dad! Come and see this uncle, he's sick! β
