I loaded up the monster simulator game

"His condition can only be said to be a miracle. His condition is now stable and he will be discharged after another week of observation."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor..."

Rumblings linger in my ears.

Cold, shaking...

Cheng Chuge's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't feel his control over his limbs.

Large chunks of unfamiliar memories flooded into his brain, and he was forced to watch these memory fragments as if watching a movie.

Sixteen? High school student?

As the memory fragments were slowly sorted out by him, Cheng Chuge gradually understood everything.

He traveled through time, and the boy with the same name and surname as him had passed away.

The arrival of his own soul extended life to this broken body.

The last memory of the original body was a bone hook coming from the fog, piercing the window sill, penetrating the handheld device in his hand, and piercing the heart with the fragments.

After waking up from a coma, he lay in the hospital bed without speaking.

Parents, sister, teachers, classmates, everyone who visited Cheng Chuge just reluctantly smiled.

The reason why he couldn't speak was not only the feeling of not being able to fit in, but also this weird world.

This is very different from Cheng Chuge's original world.

The terrifying fog that covered the entire world ten years ago, the monsters that may emerge from the fog at any time, the investigation team to deal with the monsters, and the fog barrier that no strangers are allowed to enter;

Failed satellites, signals that are difficult to propagate, and fog monsters that are immune to conventional firepower all make each city an almost disconnected island.

All this made him novel and worried.

The novelty is that there are humans in this world who can obtain extraordinary abilities by absorbing the mist.

The worry is because the original person has not passed the extraordinary test and is just an ordinary person.

The original body died in the hospital thanks to the fog monster. Even if he could barely survive this body, he would still face the danger of death again at any time.

He has absolutely no ability to protect himself.

"son?"

A gentle call interrupted Cheng Chuge's random thoughts.

He looked up and saw his mother, Xu Xiufen, standing beside the bed.

The wrinkles on her forehead had become more and more obvious in the past few days. She was holding a lunch box in her hand and looked at Cheng Chuge as if she was at a loss.

In the past few days since she woke up, this was the first time Cheng Chuge saw her showing such an expression.

"Eat." Xu Xiufen opened the lunch box. Inside was steaming white porridge with some egg drops floating on the porridge.

Cheng Chuge can only eat some liquid food these days, so almost every meal is white porridge or millet porridge, and he almost feels like a bird in his mouth.

After taking a few sips of the white porridge, Cheng Chuge couldn't help but glance to the side, and sure enough he saw Xu Xiufen's hesitant look.

Having been a social animal, he sorted out the original family situation in his memory and could easily guess what she was worried about at the moment.

money.

Cheng Chuge's family originally had an average financial situation. His father was an employee in an emergency food factory, and his salary was barely enough for the family to save money. His mother did housework and did some handicrafts at night to earn some pocket money to support the family.

In addition to managing their daily lives, they also have to pay Cheng Chuge and his sister’s tuition and living expenses.

This time Cheng Chuge escaped from hell. The cost of treatment must be quite high, and it is really not something this family can afford.

"I think I can be discharged from the hospital today." After feeling his physical condition at this time, Cheng Chuge swallowed his last mouthful of porridge and said his first words after coming to this world.

As if she didn't expect Cheng Chuge to speak, Xu Xiufen was stunned for a moment, then put away her lunch box in a panic, turned her back and stood up, saying:

"You don't have to worry about medical expenses. Mom has recently found a job. It's quite easy. Just take good care of your health..."

Looking at the back of the middle-aged woman in front of him and her meticulous care over the past few days, Cheng Chuge's heart trembled slightly.

In his previous life, he was just an orphan and had never experienced this feeling of being cared for and giving without expecting anything in return.

Cheng Chuge moved his lips and whispered tentatively: "Mom?"

"Mom goes to work first," Xu Xiufen seemed not to hear Cheng Chuge's mosquito-like voice, and said while cleaning up, "If you feel uncomfortable, just call me, be good."

Seeing Xu Xiufen preparing to leave, Cheng Chuge, who was lying on the hospital bed, still felt a little disappointed.

He put his hand on his scar-covered chest, feeling the aching heart and lungs inside, and shook his head with a smile.

For a second just now, he felt like a mouse peeking into a mouse hole to look at other people's good lives, carefully trying to climb out and share a piece of cheese.

New life?......

Cheng Chuge looked at the wall in front of him and thought to himself.

At least just now, he found the first thing he wanted to do in his new life.

Even if you don't have extraordinary abilities, if you can copy some poems and sing praises to help your family live a better life and live in a safer place, then it is considered a worthwhile trip.

"Click——"

The ward door was opened again.

Following the sound, a girl wearing a black and white school uniform walked in.

Her long black hair was fluttering, and the moment she stopped, the long hair on her shoulders slipped smoothly past the airport in front of her.

Looking up from the collar, there is a delicate face that is familiar yet unfamiliar, with a straight face as always, but the eyes are slightly red, as if he has cried.

It’s Cheng Chuge’s sister, Cheng Leling.

For this sister, the memory fragments are relatively clear.

This sister, who is one year younger than me, was very well-behaved and obedient until she was in the sixth grade of elementary school.

But not long after she entered junior high school, her rebellious phase began. As long as she was at home, she would not like anyone, as if just talking to her would make her angry.

Seeing Cheng Leling's arrival, the mother who had planned to leave stopped, seeming a little uneasy about leaving her daughter and son alone.

When Cheng Leling came in, she raised her hand and threw the black schoolbag in her hand onto the bed, almost hitting Cheng Chuge who was lying on the bed.

"Xiao Ling! What are you doing!" Seeing this scene, Xu Xiufang was so frightened that she almost broke out in a cold sweat.

She quickly walked to the bed, took her schoolbag off the bed and put it on the ground. She looked at Cheng Chuge with concern and asked, "Son, did it get hit? Is anything wrong?"

"It's okay, it wasn't hit." Cheng Chuge shook his head and comforted with a smile.

"Oh, you can talk now." Cheng Leling curled her lips and said, "I thought you were mute."

"Xiao Ling!" Cheng Leling's attitude towards patients these days finally angered Xu Xiufang. She turned to her daughter and said, "Why can't you be more sensible like your brother?"

"Oh, imitate him? Do you imitate him and don't run away when you see a monster, or do you imitate him and push your classmates away first, almost killing yourself because you can't even kill a chicken?"

Cheng Leling sneered and continued to ridicule:

"Oh, I know, I must be imitating this sensible brother. He gives up on himself after failing the extraordinary test, and shows off his talents without considering the consequences when danger comes..."

"Snapped--"

A crisp slap fell on Cheng Leling's face. Xu Xiufang's eyes were red and she was almost trembling with anger at Cheng Leling's words.

Cheng Leling raised her hand, caressed her hot cheek, turned her head to look in the direction of her mother, and her original sarcastic tone turned to calmness and she said:

"Mom, I'm leaving. Quit your job. Corpse sorting is too dangerous."

After saying that, Cheng Leling turned and left without looking at Cheng Chuge again.

The black schoolbag remained where it was.

"Xiao Ling..." Xu Xiujuan's right hand was trembling a little. She seemed to regret that she had hit her daughter, but she could not continue to sit back and watch the two hearts quarreling, especially when her son needed to rest. .

Cheng Chuge didn't feel much about this sister's words.

If you scolded the former Cheng Chuge, it has nothing to do with my current Cheng Chuge.

"Son, don't take Xiaoling's words to heart," Xu Xiujuan said, while bending down to pick up the schoolbag on the ground, and said to herself, "You also know that she is still young and speaks incoherently... ..."

Shila-

The zipper of the schoolbag he picked up opened to the side, and stacks of red banknotes slipped out from the black schoolbag and scattered on the floor.

Xu Xiujuan was stunned when she looked at the banknotes scattered on the ground.

Then, she hurriedly collected the money and put it back in her backpack and chased her out. But two hours later, she followed her father back to the ward in despair. Her mother didn't speak, while her father squatted and smoked for several hours outside the hospital.

The surgery fee was settled.

Inside the bag was half a million, enough to cover all the expenses for the surgery and hospitalization so far.

Five hundred thousand is something that ordinary high school girls cannot afford at any cost.

At the same time, 500,000 is also the fee that the government will reward those who pass the extraordinary test and join the Mist Barrier Investigation Team.

Cheng Chuge had always thought that a person with a sharp mouth and a soft heart did not exist because he had never seen one.

I recalled my sister's slightly red eyes when she entered the ward.

Now he saw it, it was still an ancient ingot sword, and it could pierce armor when it opened its mouth.

Cheng Chuge didn't know much about the Mist Investigation Team. He only knew that the mortality rate of people entering the Mist Barrier was as high as 99%. Even for people with super powers, the death rate was over 30%.

This is a deadly business.

That night.

Cheng Chuge, who owed a huge favor, was lying alone on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with some depression.

When he didn't talk a few days ago, he was often verbally attacked by this sister. He also thought that after he recovered from the illness, he would be a good brother and educate her.

But the next time I see her, it will probably be a pennant.

People who died in the mist barrier couldn't even bring their bodies back.

Fortunately, I had held back my words just now, otherwise I would have given myself a mouthful when I saw the banner when I went to bed at night.

Copy some songs? Cheng Chuge pondered that the singers in this world didn't seem to be doing very well.

"cough......"

The sudden sharp pain in his heart made him raise his hand to cover the place where it had been pierced.

The fragments of the pirated game cartridge embedded in his heart that could not be removed seemed to be spinning inside, causing him excruciating pain.

Blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and when Cheng Chuge was about to lose consciousness, a faint light curtain lit up in front of him.

"Soul binding successful"
