The Sabbath

"...The most important thing for you now is to find a way to meet Tahu, and see if there is any way from Tahu. If he has a way, the next thing you have to do is to prepare a large amount of money, not the operation fee. Instead, go to the auction to get the money from Tahu Lake, after all, if, as you said, Alan is already on the road, this place will be blocked at any time, when that time comes, others can wait, but Xiaomei can't wait."

Xiaomei can't wait——

With just this sentence, Ronggui couldn't wait for a minute and a second, and resolutely submitted the application under the name of Tahu. The money in the card was not enough, so Ronggui exchanged all the money in the two-person pass without hesitation. It became the common currency in the local area. Because he was not familiar with the registration system, he moved slowly, but he still registered.

I don't know if it's because Tahu has just "opened" and not many people think of him yet, Ronggui's registration application letter was passed very quickly, and soon his application was approved.

"Xiaomei, I'm taking you to see a doctor." Before leaving, Ronggui deliberately left a note in the living room.

"Don't tell me when I'm sick, I'm not happy." Ronggui added, but just after writing, he felt that his tone seemed too strong, and then immediately drew a picture after "not happy". Angry crooked little human head.

Only then did he struggle to drag the freezer that contained the bodies of the two people out.

Without Xiaomei, it became very difficult for him to drag the freezer.

Fortunately, there was Rhubarb, sitting in the passenger seat, Ronggui "drives" Rhubarb to the floor where Tahu is located.

The process of seeing Tahu was smoother than expected. Unlike a doctor, he was more like a prisoner. Tahu in the clinic was equipped with torture equipment, and he looked like he was being pressed to see a doctor.

The prison uniform on his body has been removed, and the hideous vertical and horizontal wounds on his naked body are completely exposed. Those wounds seem to have been blistered and swollen, old wounds piled up with new wounds, and the wounds that have never had time to heal emit an unpleasant smell. stench.

Such a tower lake looks terrible.

Ronggui noticed that there was a doctor's gown on his left hand side, which was white, clean and soft, and it was placed within reach of Tahu, but Tahu didn't have the slightest intention to pick it up and put it on.

Rather naked, he turned a blind eye to the doctor's robe next to him.

Ronggui didn't seem to see his strange appearance at all, almost the moment he entered the consultation room, he made it clear why he came:

"... I heard that you have a lot of research on this disease, and you may be able to cure him, so I brought him here to see a doctor." Ronggui opened the freezer as he spoke.

Tahu turned his gaze slowly, his eyes like glass beads looked coldly into the freezer——

His eyes first fell on Ronggui, after all, Ronggui's body is more conspicuous outside.

"This person used to have a disease in his brain, but he has been cured. The treatment is perfect, and he doesn't need me anymore."

Ronggui shook his head, moved his body aside, and carefully exposed Xiaomei's body, he said: "This is the person who needs you to take a look."

Tahu squinted his eyes and looked over again. His eyesight seemed to be very bad, and he often had to be very close to see clearly.

He first scanned Xiaomei's whole body up and down, then came over and touched several parts of Xiaomei's body, and then took a blood sample from Xiaomei's body with an instrument, and said after a long while:

"It's Hamrabi's Syndrome, a dreadful genetic disease that only occurs in very few purebloods."

"I used to be very interested in this disease, and I also wrote papers on this disease. You must have seen those papers before you found me."

"It's just in the early stages, and I don't have a clue about how to treat this condition."

"Help him collect materials, find a good craftsman, and make the mechanical body in advance." Tahu said coldly with glassy eyes raised up to Ronggui.

Ronggui was stunned.

"Is there really, really nothing to do?"

"Since you have done so much research on this disease, you must know the previous treatment plan for this disease?"

But Ronggui refused to give up, seeing Tahu listlessly returning to the place where he was handcuffed, he chased after him.The big black eyes reflected Tahu's lifeless face, and the anxiety in the eyes of the little robot was almost overflowing.

Tahu looked at Ronggui quietly for a few seconds, and then said: "There is a person who can cure this disease."

"However, the chance of finding him for treatment is even smaller than the chance of curing this disease. I advise you to prepare a suitable mechanical body for the patient as soon as possible. His time is running out. Even if you temporarily buy the most advanced freezer to delay the time , it’s nothing more than a delay of half a month..."

Before Tahu finished speaking, his hand was tightly grasped in the next second.

Tahu's hand, which was rotten and festering, was firmly held by Ronggui.

"Tell me who that person is! Where should I find him!" The little robot with eager eyes and black eyes tightly held Tahu's hand and said.

"The folk bishop—Archbishop Troyfa, he is the only one who has successfully cured this disease. He used to live in the place closest to the peak of the Tower of Eternal Sun, which is absolutely out of reach for ordinary people."

"Not to mention an underground person like you, even the people in Sky City may not see him once in their lifetime."

"I advise you to prepare a mechanical body for your friend in advance."

Saying that, Tahu looked at the little robot with a touch of pity in his eyes.

"Before? What about now? Where does he live now?" Ronggui, who was rarely smart for a while, grasped the key words this time. He pulled Tahu and continued to ask.

"Now?" Tahu's lifeless face finally showed a trace of vitality. Although the expression of this vitality was anger, his expression was finally no longer a pool of stagnant water: "Originally, it was because of his excellent healing ability that he was He was admired by the people and finally became a bishop. Troyfa knew nothing about politics, and not long after he became the archbishop, he was quickly deprived of the title of bishop and was secretly imprisoned."

"The crime is that the treatment was wrong!?"

"Do you really think that doctors are omnipotent, and that anyone can be saved?" Tahu said louder and louder, and then even complained about Troy Fa!

Clearly, Tahu was on Troy's side.

However, he didn't mean to pour out his heart to Ronggui, a stranger. After venting for a while, he changed back to his original lifeless appearance, looked at Ronggui with a gloomy look, and said with a sarcastic smile: "It's so difficult to be imprisoned." For a long time, Troy is probably dead now, if he is not dead, no matter who has been imprisoned for so many years, or for so many years for saving people, he will definitely not want to save people again."

"I wouldn't do it anyway."

"It's not bad if you don't do it, but you're wrong if you do it, tsk!" Tahu smiled sarcastically.

Amid Tahu's laughter, Ronggui left in a daze.

Purda's first suggestion: see Tahu, ask if Tahu can be cured... This one is no longer feasible.

What Tahu said does not seem to be false, Ronggui believes that he is really unable to treat Xiaomei.

Thus……

That leaves only the second suggestion.

Prepare a lot of money, participate in the auction, and buy a state-of-the-art freezer for Xiaomei. It can last for a few days!

This is one, and the other—

The archbishop Tahu just mentioned who can treat Xiaomei is undoubtedly a resident of Sky City. Will he be serving his sentence in Sky City now?Even if not, will he leave medical records in Sky City?

The clue...will it be in Sky City?

Sitting stiffly on the co-pilot, looking up at the direction of the sky, Ronggui remained motionless, looking like a real robot.

Fortunately, Rhubarb is always reliable, and he drove into the elevator faithfully, braked the car in the elevator and stopped quietly for a while, and when the elevator door reopened, it spontaneously took the owner out of the elevator.

After parking, it also actively pushed the freezer out of the compartment.

Sitting in the co-pilot for a long time, Da Huang honked the horn, Ronggui suddenly woke up, jumped out of the car, and he dragged the freezer back to the direction of "home".

Xiaomei did not come back.

The note is still there.

The angry little expression I drew before was like a huge irony, Ronggui stood for a while, then sat heavily on the sofa.

Sky City...that's a place I've only heard of from other people's conversations. Ronggui has heard it mentioned more than once about how difficult it is for people in the dungeon to go.

It is a place where only a few people can live: they must have wings, they must have blood, or else they must have special talents in some aspects that far exceed the crowd.

Otherwise, it is necessary to have wealth and rights far beyond other people.

These, none of them.

They used to have quite a lot of points, enough to find a city close to Sky City to enter.

However, those points are now gone.

All the points earned by Xiaomei were spent on Ronggui, and the remaining money was no longer enough to heal his own body.

However, Xiaomei's illness is the most serious. It has become so serious that it is necessary to race against time for treatment!

It's fine if he doesn't know anything about it, but when he knows all this, he still can't do anything about it!

He spent the last bit of money that Xiaomei left him, and in the end he only got a proposal that was completely unrealizable.

Without Xiaomei, Ronggui found himself so incompetent, he couldn't even afford to buy Xiaomei a high-end freezer!

No, let alone the freezer, he doesn't even have the qualifications to go to the auction to buy a freezer!

He thought of Gigi, Perma, Allen...all friends he met here.

Friends are the people he can think of who he can turn to for help besides Xiaomei.

However, the whereabouts of these friends are still unknown now, and everyone has exhausted all their energy just to survive tenaciously, and their last way of survival is still on Xiaomei!On the evidence that Xiaomei asked Grandpa Allen to take out!

Mary, Kiki, the landlady's grandpa, Mrs. Zora, Hana...

With no one to help him, no one to turn to for help, and powerless to help himself, Ronggui fell into deep despair.

Then, Kerry...

Ronggui suddenly thought of Klenardo's pale to transparent smile, and at the same time, the conversation between the two at that time also came to his mind:

"Stupid, isn't it? But, at that time, I really couldn't think of any other way."

"Do you know what despair is? Desperation is when you know something is not going to work, but you still do it."

"At that time, I was very desperate. I wanted to go home and see my mother for the last time. In order to achieve this goal, let alone my heart, it doesn't matter if the other party wants my life, as long as I can go back with a sigh of relief." .”

Ronggui's despair that he couldn't understand at that time, now filled every corner of his heart.

He simulated all the roads imaginable in his mind, and when he found that none of the roads would work, Ronggui's world fell into deep darkness.

This kind of darkness without hope is despair.

Then, when Kerry's words emerged from the darkness, it was like a life-saving straw, which was suddenly handed to the desperate Ronggui.

Even if it is really thin, so thin that it will break if touched, but for Ronggui at this moment, this straw is still a life-saving thing that he can't give up.

He instantly understood Kerry at that time.

It turns out that when people fall into real despair, they really know that it is impossible, but they will still do it.

He thought of a very stupid way, really stupid, but at this moment, he couldn't find a way that was more similar to this way.

Knowing that this decision was stupid, and knowing that he would pay a huge price no matter whether it came true or not, he still decided to do it.

Because for Ronggui at this moment, the price of making this decision is no longer what he cares about, what he cares about is only Xiaomei.

He just wants Xiaomei to get better, even if he can't get cured all at once, at least he wants to get money for Xiaomei's medical treatment. Next to do nothing.

In order to achieve this goal, he thinks he can pay any price, even if it is his body that he has always wanted to return to!

Turning on the computer, Ronggui found the trading area that Purda had mentioned to him, where he found a phone number, and then dialed it——

"Hi, hello, this is the free trading section that Star City provides for everyone's communication convenience. The minimum qualification to participate in the trading is to deposit 1000 million common currency into the designated account. Your account balance is insufficient. Please confirm that you can meet the requirements. What are the minimum requirements for participating in the trade fair?" A sweet female voice came from the other end of the computer.

"Since it is a trading section, why do you have to meet the requirements of having a certain amount of money to participate in the transaction? Can you not participate in the fair if you meet the conditions on the other side and have items available for trading?" Rong Gui said with a blank face. Said coldly.

Even when there was no money to trade, his attitude was arrogant.

So arrogant that the female voice on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds.

"Well... we really didn't have such a precedent here before. Outside customers usually only buy, but don't sell. About this, I'm going to ask my superiors." The other party said cautiously.

"Go ask, you are too narrow-minded for an auction with only one-sided transactions." His eyebrows raised slightly, and Ronggui's voice became even colder.

Quietly, he waited in front of the computer for a minute, and then—

"Thank you for your suggestion. Your suggestion has been accepted, but the items you provide must have a value worthy of trading before they are allowed to participate in the fair. Later, we will have specialized personnel to identify them."

"I'll wait for you to come." After Ronggui finished speaking, he slowly hung up the phone.

Apart from buyers, there are also sellers who can participate in the auction—this is what Ronggui just thought of in a flash.

He has no possessions, and only one body is the most valuable.

Become a seller and successfully qualify for the auction, and get a good price for the body at the last auction. Even if there is no way to find a suitable doctor for Xiaomei, at least he can get a good freezer for Xiaomei. ?Maintain Xiaomei's current state until Xiaomei comes back, and then they will find a way together.

Incompetent like him, this is the only thing he can think of to do for Xiaomei.

The author has something to say: I saw everyone's comments in the comment area, and I found that everyone's main point was that they couldn't understand Ronggui's sudden intention to make this decision.

Rather than abuse, illogicality is the main reason.

I have read the last few chapters several times, and finally feel that there is a reason why everyone has such an idea.

The problem was with me, I didn't describe the intent in enough detail.

These should have been written a little more clearly.

Tried a modification in this regard.

Of course, the decision made by Ronggui may indeed be a bit clichéd, but, as early as the beginning, this scene is a scene I really want to write.

Xiaomei's change is a huge change for Xiaomei who planned to give up her body from the beginning;

And Ronggui who is willing to give up his body, give up his ideals and also want to protect Xiaomei, has actually changed.

For this kind of subtle emotional handling, I admit that it is my weakness. I scratch my head. I didn’t write emotional scenes before because of this aspect.

But you can't stop writing because of hard work

So although it is clumsy, although it may not be well written, I still try it.

I hope everyone will continue to tell me their feelings, so that I will know whether the direction I am trying has achieved the feelings I want to express

Thank you all again.

And, regarding the doctor, although we all know who the doctor of 999 is, Agui doesn't know. Xiaomei warned him from the beginning, and the other party doesn't pay attention to Ronggui, so... Agui is completely unaware of 999's identity Of course, there is no way to do something like calling for help.

In addition, Mr. 999 is not an enthusiastic person himself, so...

In the final analysis, my expression is not accurate enough.
