Mysophobic Doctor's Detective Drama [2]

The police came very quickly.

Xu Xiaotu, the daughter of fate, was one of the police officers dispatched. She brought the young police officer who came to Chen Liguo's place before and checked the pictures that were sent to Chen Liguo.

The more she looked the more she furrowed her brows. Xu Xiaotu said, "It looks like we'll need to go to your home once judging from the situation."

Chen Liguo looked tired, with an indignant anger. He said, "Okay."

It was impossible to ignore this matter. Chen Liguo could only take another half-day off and bring the police home to take a look.

The doctors in the same department didn't know what had happened. However, seeing that the police had come, they could guess that it wasn't a good thing.

The head nurse looked at Chen Liguo worriedly and asked, "Doctor, was there something wrong with the delivery?"

Chen Liguo managed to pull a smile and said, "It's nothing."

The head nurse asked, " Are you…… alright? Why is your complexion so bad?"

Chen Liguo said, "It's nothing, it's just a little hot."

With the director's approval, Chen Liguo drove home with the two police officers.

Xu Xiaotu had always been aware about Chen Liguo being followed by someone and had specifically sent people to guard him. However, strangely enough, as long as she dispatched the police officers, the person following Chen Liguo would disappear. Had she not known that Chen Liguo would never joke about such things, she would have even suspected that Chen Liguo being followed was just a figment of his imagination from paranoia.

Xu Xiaotu clenched the pictures in her hand, a bit of sweat on her palm.

Chen Liguo was obviously in a jittery mood as he drove. He seemed to want to light a cigarette but after taking one out, he put it away again.

Was he afraid of dirtiness? Xu Xiaotu looked at Chen Liguo's side profile and pondered, what characteristics of this man attracted the murderer? Moreover, it wasn't like his previous cruel crimes, but doing these superfluous things…… or perhaps, was she simply thinking in the wrong direction and the person who had locked onto Chen Liguo actually had nothing to do with that group of criminals?

In the midst of the endless silence, the three arrived at Chen Liguo's residence.

Chen Liguo stopped the car and turned to look at Xu Xiaotu. He said, his tone somewhat harsh, "Those pictures……. are you taking them back to the police station?"

Xu Xiaotu was stunned, she immediately realized that Chen Liguo was afraid of divulging his privacy. She nodded and said, "That's right. These are all material evidence, but if you care about it, I could bring only a portion of it back, or do something else about the evidence?"

Chen Liguo said, "Just take back a portion of it then."

Xu Xiaotu recalled a few certain pictures she had just seen and couldn't keep her face from reddening a bit.

Although those pictures were very explicit, no key parts were actually shown——no, to be exact, the pictures with the key parts weren't sent to Chen Liguo.

Chen Liguo could be completely seen with just a glance in the pictures.

Fair skin, slim waist, slender thighs, and those pair of hands that could be used as hand models, not a single part wasn't writing the word 'male'.

Although Chen Liguo looked somewhat slim, it could be seen that his figure was actually very well proportioned when he stripped off his clothes. One could see his faint abdominal muscles and his beautiful mermaid line. There were a few pictures of him stooping down, which allowed for the fine lines of his buttocks be taken in with a glance.

The contrast between the sex appeal in the pictures and his usual cold and free from sexual desire appearance made people involuntarily want to explore more——even if Xu Xiaotu was a woman, she felt the same. It wasn't surprising that those people had locked onto the doctor.

Chen Liguo was walking in the front, if he weren't, he surely would have caught sight of a red flush on Xu Xiaotu's face.

He took out his key and opened the door. Chen Liguo still couldn't resist cleaning the key with a disinfected towel that was wrapped in a plastic bag.

Xu Xiaotu saw all of his movements and couldn't help but think that Chen Liguo was indeed lying when he said that his mysophobia was light.

The door opened, revealing a white room that was as neat as before.

Chen Liguo found some slippers and put them on the ground before advancing to the living room alone.

Xu Xiaotu and the police officer changed their shoes and went in. The first place they checked was the washroom.

Chen Liguo's washroom was also white. White bathtub, white vanity unit, white toilet——everything was white. The bright shine sort of stung the eyes when the lights were turned on.

Xu Xiaotu chatted with Chen Liguo as she inspected, "Doctor Su, with how this place feels, you must trouble yourself with the cleaning of everything quite a bit right?"

Chen Liguo replied absentmindedly, "It's alright, this place isn't too big."

Xu Xiaotu asked, "Do you live alone?"

Chen Liguo said, "En."

Xu Xiaotu asked, "Haven't you ever thought of finding a girlfriend to help you with the upkeep?"

Chen Liguo stood by the door, hugging himself. He said dully, "No time."

It made sense, doctors were pretty busy.

The bathroom was not big, Xu Xiaotu quickly found several pinhole cameras inside. What surprised her the most wasn't the fact that there were pinhole cameras, but the sheer amount of it.

There were eight pinhole cameras in the small bathroom——she couldn't imagine just how many cameras there were in Chen Liguo's home.

Chen Liguo looked at the small things in Xu Xiaotu's hand, his complexion extremely unsightly. He said, "Why are there so many"

Xu Xiaotu shrugged, "There may be even more within your home——we will need to use professional equipment to find them."

Chen Liguo asked with gritted teeth, "How long has it been installed?"

Xu Xiaotu said, "I suspect that they were installed not long after the murder……. I reckon more than a month now."

More than a month, the part of his privacy that should be leaked was pretty much all leaked.

Chen Liguo was somewhat crestfallen, "Then what should be done?"

Xu Xiaotu looked around Chen Liguo's house and said, "Search out all the cameras first I suppose…… otherwise you wouldn't be able to sleep well."

Chen Liguo could only agree.

Xu Xiaotu said, "But, it might make your home a little messy."

As soon as she said this, she saw Chen Liguo's expression tense up. He asked, "How messy?"

Xu Xiaotu said, "That depends on where they were all installed."

Chen Liguo said okay with a very grudging expression.

At this time, Chen Liguo would endure even if he had mysophobia, but as soon as he thought of those densely packed germs entering his home he would feel numb all over——even if he couldn't see them at home, he already got used to it.

Chen Liguo said, "Tong-er, I have already caught sight of the God of Death's horn."

The system said, "Rest assured, this is only the thirteenth episode."

Chen Liguo: "……" I can only really f*cking live until the thirteenth episode.

It was half an hour later that Xu Xiaotu's men brought the instrument.

In the past half hour, Xu Xiaotu asked Chen Liguo a lot of questions about that pervert who was following him and whether or not he noticed anything unusual during this period of time.

Chen Liguo thought, 'Is it not unusual enough to be stalked by a pervert wearing a mask?' but he couldn't say so, and replied rather spiritless.

Xu Xiaotu saw that he wasn't particularly interested in answering and put her idea of digging for more information from Chen Liguo to rest.

After the police brought the equipment, Xu Xiaotu spent two hours thoroughly checking Chen Liguo's home and found more than fifty pinhole cameras altogether——this was only an eighty square meter apartment.

What bothered Chen Liguo the most was that there was even one in the toilet.

Chen Liguo: "If you love a person, you will even want to see him taking his shit."

System: "……"

Chen Liguo said, "Otherwise you simply can't guess what he ate today."

System: "…..Can you shut up?"

Chen Liguo: "As a person who's going to die very soon, I refuse to not say a few more lines."

System: "……"

After all the pinhole cameras were found, the most haggard looking person was not the police officer working, but Chen Liguo. He felt like he was going to fall apart.

Xu Xiaotu saw Chen Liguo's expression and could guess his frame of mind for the most part. She said with a bit of sympathy, "Don't worry, we will investigate this."

Chen Liguo asked, "How will you investigate?"

Xu Xiaotu said, "First we'll check the origin of the delivery….."

Chen Liguo said, "What is the probability of finding it?"

Xu Xiaotu looked a little embarrassed. She said, "Well, this, it also depends on luck."

Chen Liguo simply wanted to grab Xu Xiaotu's hand and cry to her that he wanted to live a few more episodes. However, Xu Xiaotu herself didn't seem to have survived till the end. Chen Liguo could only endure, his expression cold and weary like before. He said, "Thank you all."

Xu Xiatu sighed, "Don't worry, we will definitely find the assailant."

Chen Liguo thought to himself, 'At that time my dead body will have become ash.'

Xu Xiaotu took the pictures and comforted Chen Liguo with a few words before leaving with her colleagues. The police officers had sympathetic expressions when they left. Chen Liguo felt that their eyes were saying: 'eat some good food, either way you won't be able to live for more than a few days.'

Chen Liguo: "….." This world was full of malice towards him.

The first thing Chen Liguo did after the group of people left was to very contentiously clean up, then even more seriously and contentiously take a shower, then finally lie in bed and study his pictures.

Xu Xiaotu left behind the comparatively more revealing pictures for him. Chen Liguo said, "This one's not bad."

System: "……"

Chen Liguo said, "In the end, it's my own body that looks good."

The system had nothing to say to Chen Liguo.

Chen Liguo said sadly, "They're all so dirty."

System: "……"

Chen Liguo cried 'Wuwuwu', "Only I alone am clean." He didn't want to go to work at all, looking at those germs day to day, he didn't have any appetite. Alas, forget it, it seemed like he didn't have long to live in this world anyway.

In the midst of his sorrow, Chen Liguo fell into a deep sleep.

After that photograph incident, Chen Liguo passed through a week peacefully.

No one followed him this week, and he no longer felt the threat of death looming over him. However, just when Chen Liguo thought that he was safe, he discovered something terrifying.

Chen Liguo: "Damn, where is my favorite white underwear?" He rummaged through his wardrobe but couldn't find the underwear that he usually wore.

Absolutely terrified, he asked, "Tong-er, I brought it in yesterday right?"

The system said, "Brought it in."

Chen Liguo said, "I remember that I put away that pair of black socks with it….." As he mumbled, he continued to rummage, then collapsed, discovering that his black socks were missing as well.

Chen Liguo: "……Am I hallucinating?"

The system said, "No."

Chen Liguo said, "……I really lost that white underwear and those black socks?"

The system was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "There is also a pair of grey and blue underwear and it seems like three of the four pairs of socks have been lost……"

Chen Liguo: "Is your memory usually used here?"

System: "……You have any complaints?"

Chen Liguo: "No."

Chen Liguo couldn't help but shudder at the thought of his underwear and socks being stolen, "Will they get a lot of germs on it?"

System: "….." That's the main point?

Chen Liguo said, "Don't ahahahah, that's my favorite pair! Pure cotton! The tightness is just right!"

The system gnashed its teeth in anger, "Do you think that the main point is this?"

Chen Liguo asked, "If not then what?"

The system said, "Shouldn't the main point be that they went into your home?"

Chen Liguo said, "……Oh right, brought in a lot of germs."

System: "……" Whatever, just let this mental retard die.

However, as if he were deliberately hitting the system's face, Chen Liguo showed a sad smile and said, "You think I don't know what you're thinking, are you scolding me for being dumb? He……. What can I do? I am just a struggling cannon fodder in this world……."

System: "……"

Chen Liguo said, "You brought me into such a world, you really don't have any thoughts about compensating me?"

The system felt a little guilty. In fact, every system should find and assign the best world for the host to complete, but because of its own selfish motives, it chose this particularly difficult world. At the moment, no one had yet to succeed in completing this detective world. It said, "What compensation do you want?"

Chen Liguo became energetic as soon as he heard that there was compensation, "I haven't thought of it yet! You have to remember, you owe me."

System: "……"

Chen Liguo rolled up his sleeves and heaved a deep sigh, "Mmm, I feel like I can go to the next world at ease."

System: "……" 'Mmm' a fart.

Then Mr. Chen Cannon fodder who had reached an agreement with the system encountered the murderers the next day.

En, correct, it's 'murderers' not 'murderer'.

On his way home after a night shift, he was directly tied up by three men.

After Chen Liguo got off his car, his mouth was immediately covered. His first reaction was: 'Brother I won't yell, don't touch my mouth with your hands, so dirty!!!'

That murderer apparently didn't understand Chen Liguo's thoughts and still covered Chen Liguo's mouth firmly.

Then the other two people came over, tied up Chen Liguo's hands and feet, and then directly stuffed him into a bright car.

Chen Liguo's eyes were covered by a black cloth and he was unable to speak. Thus just like this, he was brought to an unknown place.

Chen Liguo cried in his heart, "I still died at the end of the thirteenth episode."

System: "……Maybe it's the beginning of the fourteenth episode?"

Chen Liguo: "….." Not comforting at all, thank you.

The car drove for a long time. Chen Liguo constantly told the system to remember the route. The system could only say that it could try its best. Chen Liguo said, "You remember the clothes I wear every day. Isn't remembering this little bit a piece of cake for you?"

System: "Can you stop talking about your clothes?"

Talking with the system alleviated Chen Liguo's fear and discomfort. He was picked up by someone and carried a long way before being put onto a soft carpet.

Chen Liguo let out a sob, wanting to struggle. But then he felt an ice-cold finger lightly press onto his forehead.

The finger slid from his forehead to the tip of his nose, to his lips, to his chin, as if to determine whether or not the good before their eyes was able to satisfy them.

Chen Liguo's entire body stiffened as he felt that finger gently peel off the tape covering his mouth.

Chen Liguo asked dumbly, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The owner of the finger pressed Chen Liguo's lips and a deep, husky, male voice sounded by Chen Liguo's ear. He said, "Don't talk."

Chen Liguo: "……" He had heard that all men with good voices were big fatties.

Chen Liguo: "Tong-er, what's this man like?"

The system said, "Really ugly."

Chen Liguo: "…..How ugly?"

The system thought for a moment and then said, "Uglier than XX."

XX was a guy in Chen Liguo's team who really was excessively ugly. As soon as Chen Liguo heard that his entire person felt bad. He said, "I'm so doomed ahahahah."

System: "……" Really didn't want to hear Chen Liguo's voice.

However, the man who called Chen Liguo 'baby' didn't know the acute mental activity going on in Chen Liguo's mind. He raised Chen Liguo's chin and looked at his slender neck satisfactory. He said, "Good boy, don't be afraid."

Chen Liguo gulped and said, "Don't touch me, just who are you——"

The man didn't reply. With the slight movement of his finger, he unbuttoned Chen Liguo's shirt.

Chen Liguo: "……" Don't ahahahah, so many germs ahahahah.

That man watched as Chen Liguo's body trembled and seemed to be delighted by this reaction. He slowly caressed Chen Liguo's neck and said, "Rest assured, I won't touch you…… yet."

Chen Liguo grit his teeth and didn't say a single word.

The man said, "It's not time yet."

Chen Liguo sensed what the man wanted to do and cried out, breaking down, "Don't use your dirty hands to touch me!!!"

Then Chen Liguo was ruthlessly stripped. He lay on the soft carpet and was groped pleasurably.

The masked man looked on with satisfaction as he watched the youthful body unfold before him. That flexible waist was forced to bend into an alluring arc, that fair skin covered with fine beads of sweat. Those rosy lips were pursed into a tensed curve——only when he was pressed fiercely would those lips let out one or two attractive soft groans.

It was a spectacular sight.

The masked man let out a low laugh and said, "Really beautiful."

It was Chen Liguo's first time 'feeling good' in this world. His eyes were blindfolded and he couldn't see that man's face, or the germs that could be seen everywhere around the world.

Chen Liguo: "……." After thinking about it carefully, unexpectedly feel a little happy.

This thing lasted for a long time. It wasn't until Chen Liguo's body completely lost its strength that the person stopped.

Chen Liguo's entire body was covered with sweat. He lay on the ground, his chest rose and fell violently. Except for the final step, the man practically did everything he could.

He seemed to be in a better mood when he saw Chen Liguo in such a mess. He said, "I really look forward to that day."

Chen Liguo really wanted to know which day, but he knew that even if he asked, he probably wouldn't be able to obtain an answer.

Finally, when everything was finished, Chen Liguo was wrapped up in a blanket, put into a car, and just like that, got sent home.

Chen Liguo's mind was in a whirl and after waking up from a sound sleep, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Chen Liguo's phone had more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, all from the hospital. He had a splitting headache. He staggered to his feet and called the hospital back first.

"Doctor Su, are you alright?" The head nurse who called Chen Liguo sounded worried. She said, "No one picked up even after more than a dozen calls……"

Chen Liguo opened his mouth, his voice sounding like he had been screaming the entire night——Oh, he really did scream the entire night. He said, "En, got sick."

The head nurse asked, "Is it serious? From the sound of your voice, it seems pretty serious. Would you like to come to the hospital and get an intravenous drip?"

Chen Liguo said drowsily, "I'm alright, it'll be fine if I take some medicine."

The head nurse tried to persuade Chen Liguo a bit more, but seeing his insistent manner, she sighed and said, "Alright then, have a good rest at home. If there's anything, call me."

Chen Liguo answered with an 'okay' and after a moment, heard the spasmodic beeping of a busy line come from the other side.

Chen Liguo lay back in bed and dozed off for a bit before getting up and looking for something to eat.

Chen Liguo's identity in this world, Su Yunzhi, was an orphan. His household circumstances were pretty good at first, but after going to university, his parents died in an airplane crash.

His paternal grandfather and grandmother passed on early and the only one who was left was his maternal grandmother, who lived far away overseas.

It could be said that besides the hospital, Su Yunzhi had little contact with the world. Even if he disappeared, no one would spend their lifetime looking for him.

Chen Liguo ate medicine and slept again, which made him feel a bit better.

After getting up, he unsurprisingly saw red marks all over his body.

Chen Liguo sat on the bed and hugged himself, choking on sobs, "I'm so dirty, so dirty…… I'm no longer clean……"

The system expressed: "……"

Chen Liguo said, "He may have defiled my body, but he shouldn't think about obtaining my soul. My soul is still clean."

The system asked, "Done yet?"

Chen Liguo said, "Give me another ten minutes."

System: "……"

Then the system looked on unfeelingly as Chen Liguo raced against time and bemoaned his fate for ten minutes. As soon as ten minutes were over he rushed into the bathroom at top speed to take a shower. While in there, he cursed, "F*cking bastard just knew that Laozi is cheap. Even if I'm cheap he didn't even let this Laozi see his face!"

System: "……"

Chen Liguo said, "What'll happen from just a peek? Lose a few kilos of weight? Am I that sort of person who would go report you as soon as I see your face?" After saying this, Chen Liguo calmed down for two seconds, then compromised and said, "Okay, I am."

System: "……"

After taking his shower, Chen Liguo took some more medicine as he coughed. He sat on the sofa and just as he opened the television he saw the headline: So-and-so man died in the park naked.

Chen Liguo: "….." Felt like he was seeing how he'll be tomorrow.

But he thought deeper about it and said, "Does this mean that the pervert from yesterday isn't the murderer?"

The system said, "What if they're an organization?

Chen Liguo: "……That's reasonable."

Chen Liguo hadn't eaten anything since last night and was already very hungry, but he didn't have any energy to make food. Just as he became flustered with hunger, the doorbell rang.

Coughing, Chen Liguo went to open the door. His sickness made him less alert and he opened it directly without looking through the peephole.

Instead of a person, Chen Liguo saw a food box in front of him on the floor. There was also a note on it, with four beautiful golden big characters, written with slender calligraphy: Eat properly.

Chen Liguo stared at the box for a while, turned and went back into the house, and grabbed a paper towel which he put on the food box's handle before carrying it inside.

Opening the food box, Chen Liguo was surprised to find that it was filled with all his favorite food. He removed each layer by layer and found a still warm vegetable congee at the bottom most layer.

Chen Liguo said, "You think he put poison in it?"

The system said, "He still needs to use poison if he wants to kill you?"

Chen Liguo shed two drops of sad tears and said, "What if he thought that this method of dying is more suitable for me?"

The system said, "Then you can choose not to eat."

Chen Liguo said, "I'm not Chinese if I don't eat."

System: "……"

After preparing his heart, Chen Liguo picked up his chopsticks and ate.

It had to be said, these dishes were very fine and suitable for the sick. Chen Liguo consumed half of it in one breath and finally no longer felt like he was about to collapse.

Chen Liguo coughed, put the layers back together one by one, thought about it, then directly threw the food box out his terrace——of course, he made sure that there weren't any pedestrians on the street.

According to Su Yunzhi's character, he probably wouldn't eat these things. In fact, taking the food box was already breaking his character a bit, but Chen Liguo didn't care——he was going to damn die anyway, go out of character earlier end earlier.

After throwing the food box down, a strange number sent a text message to Chen Liguo's phone. The message had two words: really disobedient.

Chen Liguo saw these three words and inexplicably thought about what happened yesterday. Involuntarily, his body trembled.

Chen Liguo send a message back: You disgusting pervert!! Just what on earth do you want to do!!!

The other send: You have to be punished for being rude.

Chen Liguo replied: Scram for me!!

The other said: I will give you half a month to get well.

Chen Liguo couldn't endure it anymore and directly dialed the dumber, but to his surprise, the number he had dialed was a dead number.

Chen Liguo instantly got a layer of goosebumps. If it weren't for the fact that he had come in contact with this man yesterday, he really would have thought that he was being haunted.

Silently entering his home could be forgotten, but they even stole his underpants and socks, sent people to catch him to bring him over and then brought home again, the phone number was actually a dead number……

Chen Liguo stroked the numbers 110 for a moment.

The other seemed to guess what Chen Liguo wanted to do and unexpectedly asked: You want to report to the police?

Chen Liguo's hand shook again.

In the moment Chen Liguo's hand trembled, a large number of multimedia short messages came over.

The contents of the messages made Chen Liguo turn pale——correct, it was him, but this time it was him from last night.

The young man laying on the carpet was so beautiful he was like an oil painting. His body was curled up, ambiguous marks all over his body, no one would believe that the last step hadn't been completed.

The ropes that bound him even turned into a piece of art. The images on the phone rendered a sort of sacred beauty that had been desecrated.

Chen Liguo stared at these pictures for a long time, silently pressing the save key……. Really beautiful, hehehehe.

The person on the other side seemed to want to give him time to digest and the next message came after half an hour: You don't want others to see it do you?

Chen Liguo thought in his mind, 'Humph, wish that the whole world could witness my beauty.'

But he still replied to the man with: Disgusting!!! Just what do you want to do?

The other person seemed to be delighted at Chen Liguo's flustered manner and said: Because you are special.

Chen Liguo was a little embarrassed by the praise.

The man continued: Don't be angry, I don't have any evil intentions towards you.

Chen Liguo said to himself inwardly, 'Big brother, this way of attracting the other won't do ah, if this really was Su Yunzi, he might've exploded from your teasing.

The other said: I won't let anyone hurt you, rest well.

This was the last message and there was no longer any movement on the other end.

Chen Liguo clutched his phone in his hand and sat beside the bed in a daze.

The system asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Liguo faintly said, "It's just like the night……."

The system said, "Huh?"

Chen Liguo said, "I'm just like the night fireflies shining in the dark and can't prevent my beauty from attracting others……"

System: "……Sleep earlier, don't think too much."

Chen Liguo: "….." Are you simply unable to give me some face?

Before going to bed, he ate some more medicine and drowsily fell asleep.

However, the next day, Chen Liguo's cold didn't improve, on the contrary, it became more serious. This was the way that young people were, if they weren't sick there was no problem at all. As soon as they got sick it became a serious illness.

Chen Liguo had a cough, dizziness and fever. He nearly fell when he got out of bed in the morning.

The wasn't the most tragic thing, the worst thing was that he didn't want to go to the hospital at all.

Going to the hospital = getting an IV = sleeping on the hospital bed = getting in close contact with germs. As soon as he thought of the germs as thick as huckleberries on the hospital bed, Chen Liguo decided that he preferred to die at home.

And so he remained motionless and lay in bed for half a day.

At noon, someone rang his doorbell once again. Chen Liguo moved over languidly and not surprisingly, saw another food box at the door. This time, there was a package of medicine on top of it.

Chen Liguo suspected that the pervert had installed cameras in his home again.

He sniffed and brought the medicine and food box in. He felt that he would die at home in the next moment if he continued to be aloof……

The medicine was a common one available on the market and didn't seem like it had been opened. Chen Liguo checked it a bit, then figured that there should be no problems with it and directly ate it.

He hadn't expected that the effects of the medicine would be so good, in but an hour, his fever was gone.

However, even though his fever had subsided, Chen Liguo's body still didn't have any strength. Coughing, he called the hospital, and reported that he still needed a few days off.

The hospital straightforwardly gave Chen Liguo a vacation and the director also asked Chen Liguo if it was serious. If it was, he absolutely mustn't drag his feet and quickly go to the hospital to get an intravenous drip.

Chen Liguo thanked the director for his good intentions and hung up.

The medicine that he just ate did its work and Chen Liguo's mind became more and more dizzy. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, fell on the bed and fell asleep. He slept for half a day.

It was unknown if people who became sick were particularly vulnerable, but Chen Liguo dreamed about someone he hadn't dreamed of in a long time. He even dreamed of that man saying to him, "I'm getting married."

Chen Liguo had thought of this sentence several hundred times in his mind already. Even after going through so many worlds, he still remembered it clearly. So much that he could still remember the gentle and soft expression on that man's face.

Chen Liguo heard himself wishing him well in a tone that was hard to understand.

When that man heard this, he showed a smile and said, "Chen Liguo, thank you, you are my best brother."

Then a sharp car screech sounded and Chen Liguo woke up.

He coughed violently, feeling like his lungs were practically going to be coughed out of his chest. He struggled to his feet and picked up a glass of water, feeling better after gulping it down.

Chen Liguo sat on the sofa and said, "Tong-er, after I go back, will I go back to before the car crash?"

The system said, "Yes."

Chen Liguo said, "How long before?"

The system said, "Ten minutes."

Chen Liguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay." Ten minutes. It wasn't enough to prevent his wedding, but it was enough to prevent his own death——if it weren't for pushing him away, he himself wouldn't have been hit by the truck either.

But misfortune may lead to fortune and fortune to misfortune. If he hadn't been hit by the car, he wouldn't have been able to have to opportunity to transmigrate to so many different worlds.

Chen Liguo went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water. Just as he wanted to boil some milk to drink, his phone rang. Xu Xiaotu's number was displayed on the screen.

"Hello." Chen Liguo picked up the phone.

Xu Xiaotu heard Chen Liguo's hoarse voice and said, "Doctor Su, you're sick?"

Chen Liguo issued a hum.

Xu Xiaotu said, "Ah…… Then I'm really sorry to have disturbed you, but we found a clue, it seems to have connections to you."

Chen Liguo's brows wrinkled, "What clues?"

Xu Xiaotu said with hesitation, "You…… One of your socks seems to have been discovered at the scene of the crime."

Chen Liguo: "……What?"

Xu Xiaotu also felt that it was a little absurd. She repeated, "One of your socks, a black one, appeared at the scene of the crime."

Chen Liguo: "……"

Xu Xiaotu asked, "Doctor Su?"

Chen Liguo said helplessly, "I really did lose my socks." And not just one.

Xu Xiaotu said, "I know, I don't suspect you….. I just want to understand what is at hand."

Chen Liguo was at his last gasp, but still had to handle the daughter of fate. He said, "How about you come over, it just so happens that there's something I want to tell you."

Xu Xiaotu got Chen Liguo's consent and issued a 'ai' with high spirits. She said, "Okay, I'll come over immediately."

Chen Liguo hung up and drank the milk as he coughed.

An hour later, Xu Xiaotu arrived at his house. As soon as the door opened she was shocked by Chen Liguos haggard appearance. She said, "Doctor Su, are you alright?"

Chen Liguo said with a bitter laugh, "I can't die, come in."

The Author has Something to Say:

Today's Orange seems a little pitiful because he's sick （。 Want to bully him more. Continuing to beg for nutrient fluid, ah, don't stop irrigating.

The words within 'the author has something to say' is not included in the number of words recorded in the main text when purchasing the text, so thanking everyone isn't included in the word count either. I'm guessing that there will be 40% mines today cough cough cough…… Thanking everyone for the landmines, grenades, and rockets. Hengdao who bought a hundred landmines at once. GaIn's deep water torpedo, Qnglan's deep water torpedo, and Gongzi Jiuyun's deep water torpedo. Extremely grateful for everyone's generous love, you've spent a great deal QAQ.
