001 Lin Xiang and Lin Bai
Jiangbei City, Third People's Hospital, Inpatient Department. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Room 305.
Lin Xiang sat in front of a hospital bed, holding a knife in one hand and an apple in the other, and was looking down and concentrating on peeling the fruit.
He looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, with black hair and black eyes, an ordinary face, an ordinary build, and the most notable feature was an old pair of black-rimmed glasses. He wears a white shirt, gray trousers and black casual shoes, although they are all cheap goods, they are clean and well-organized, and it is easy to make people feel good. Only slightly flawed is that his bloodshot eyes and dark circles hidden under his glasses have ruined his overall temperament and told the world that he has not been doing a good life lately.
In front of him, on the hospital bed, a girl with shaved hair and a hospital gown was taking a nap with her eyes closed.
The girl didn't look very big, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
She has a beautiful face, a pretty nose bridge, and a peach-like mouth, which shows that she is an authentic beauty now and in the future.
It's just that her pale skin, ugly bald head and skinny skinny have made her lose a lot of color, and she doesn't look as glamorous as she did three years ago.
The girl's name is Lin Bai and she is Lin Xiang's younger sister.
The story between them is very simple, about twenty years ago, a kind couple surnamed Lin adopted Lin Xiang, who had lost his parents, and treated him as their own son. Although fifteen years ago, the couple had a child that truly belonged to them, but their love for their adopted son did not diminish in the slightest, which moved Lin Xiang, who remembered his identity, and vowed to treat his adoptive parents and his sister who were not related by blood as his closest people.
Three years ago, the life of their family could be described as a happy one.
Although their family is not rich and expensive, they have no worries about food and clothing, a loving father and a filial son, a virtuous mother and a delicate daughter, and they are definitely ten good families in the eyes of others.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, first the adoptive parents died in a car accident, and then the younger sister was diagnosed with cancer, which knocked everything in Lin Xiang into the bottomless abyss.
But none of this knocked him down, because he will never forget that his adoptive parents had taken his hand by the hand in their dying days and told him to take care of his sister.
So in the following time, he buried his parents, gave up his studies, and began to run around various places of work and hospitals, just for the almost slim hope.
But many things can't be done with effort alone.
In the past three years, Lin Xiang has done everything, but his sister's illness has not improved, but it has gotten worse and worse.
Cancer, after all, is an incurable disease.
"Hey......"
After peeling the apple and cutting it into thin slices suitable for Lin Bai to swallow, Lin Xiang looked up and sighed at his sister who kept frowning even in his dreams.
He knew that his sister had been suffering from chemotherapy, and that the girl had never told him that he was worried.
In addition to making him pity the girl on the hospital bed more and more, it also made him more and more miserable.
If it were possible, he really wanted to bear it for his sister, but ......
"Xiaoxiaobai, my brother is really useless......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show bitterness and self-blame, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
"Brother......
As if hearing his murmuring, and as if she had slept enough, the girl with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of black pupils with endless tiredness.
"Little White ......"
Seeing that the girl looked at herself as soon as she opened her eyes, Lin Xiang put away all the negative emotions on her face and replaced it with a gentle smile.
"Would you like some apples?"
The girl didn't want him to worry, and so did he, so he never showed the slightest discouragement and pessimism in front of her.
"I don't want to eat ......"
Facing the apple handed over, Lin Bai frowned slightly.
"Is it okay for us to leave the hospital, it smells so bad here......"
Then, as if disgusted, as if coquettish, as if she were something else, and her brother longed for it.
"Hehe......"
Hearing the girl say this, Lin Xiang just smiled gently.
He understood what his sister meant, the girl obviously didn't want to drag him down anymore, and it wasn't the first time a girl had done this. But how could he agree to the girl, not to mention the entrustment of his adoptive parents, the relationship between their brother and sister alone made him unable to give up. As for why he didn't respond positively here? That's because they've discussed it many times on the subject, and he understands that the girl is just as stubborn as he is, not his sister.
"Come, open your mouth ......"
After laughing, Lin Xiang picked up a piece of apple with a fork and sent it to the girl.
"Good ......"
Then, he opened his mouth like a child, looking like when his sister was young, when he fed his sister rice cereal.
"Hmm."
Seeing the familiar person revealing a familiar action, Lin Bai instinctively opened his mouth and swallowed the apple in his mouth.
Then, she subconsciously turned her head to the side, not wanting her brother to see that her eyes were already full of tears.
"Good ......"
Then the girl felt a large, rough hand caress over the top of her head, just as she had done before. This made the girl unable to control her tear ducts any longer, and crystal tears flowed down her cheeks. At the same time, a thought became clearer in the girl's heart, that is, she could not go on like this, and she wanted to find an opportunity to free her brother completely......
……
After leaving Lin Bai's ward, Lin Xiang did not go directly to work in the store as usual, but returned to the rental house with a resolute face, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Contract No. 254 will serve you wholeheartedly......"
As he moved, a mechanical, like a mixture of countless voices, came from his worn-out blue-screen phone, eerie and creepy.
"As long as I enter that space and clear the level, can I really get a wish?"
In the face of this, Lin Xiang's face did not show any panic and fear that ordinary people should have, but instead crossed a trace of irrepressible expectation.
"Yes, as long as you enter 'Endless Space' and pass the test of ninety-nine eighty-one dungeons, you will not only gain a wish, but also bring all the benefits you have gained in 'Endless Space' back to the real world......"
It seems that the voice in the mobile phone is just a smart program, and after hearing Lin Xiang's question, he directly replied in an unfluctuating tone.
"Is it okay to wish for anything? Including the resurrection of the dead? ”
"Yes."
"When I enter 'Infinite Space', time on Earth will stop, right?"
"It's not that time on Earth stops, it's that 'Infinite Space' is on a stagnant timeline, making it the same point in time you leave and return to Earth......"
"If I fail, how will my traces on earth be erased?"
"There will be an accident, an accident where the creatures of the earth can't find traces......"
"What is the purpose of 'Endless Space'?"
"You don't have enough authority to answer."
“……”
After confirming what he wanted to confirm, Lin Xiang hung up his mobile phone and went out to a nearby insurance company and law firm.
I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, just when he was about to despair, a voice suddenly appeared and gave him a chance.
As soon as he enters a world similar to "infinite horror" and clears it, he will be able to obtain a wish, a wish that can fulfill any of his demands.
In the face of this, he had no doubts about his choice, of course, he agreed, even if it was a temptation or a trick by the devil.
But before he could promise anything, he had two more things to do.
One was to visit his sister, which has now been completed.
The second is to ensure that even if he has an accident, his sister can get a good insurance policy to support the girl to continue treatment, which is his next task......
