Chapter 1056 Their other side?
The reason why Li Luo had this idea was not that she had lost her patience and was going to give up.
Instead, he wanted to kill Xu Xiao in order to make the other party wake up completely!
Although the woman did not have any bloody seeds that could be used to recover from near-death to full health, the epic quality item [Immortal Golden Cicada] was actually in her body.
If there is really no way to wake it up, then just restart it!
Xu Xiao seemed to have sensed Li Luo's thoughts. His gaze moved slightly downwards, lingering for a moment on the dagger in the girl's hand.
However, she did not give any defensive reaction to this.
He just turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing Xu Xiao's calm appearance, Li Luo couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Considering that killing the opponent by force is not the safest method, I might as well follow him and see the situation.
If it really doesn't work, it won't be too late to take action then.
The door creaked open as Xu Xiao pushed it.
However, the scene he saw shocked Li Luo who was following behind.
It was not a dark and rainy night like the previous thirty-nine reincarnations, but a slightly gloomy afternoon.
Xu Xiao walked forward, neither hurried nor slow.
Li Luo followed immediately, not daring to relax at all.
People were walking on the street, but they ignored the two women walking among them.
It was as if the two of them didn't exist in this world at all and were just wandering ghosts.
Xu Xiao walked through the streets and alleys, and finally brought Li Luo to a slightly old tube-shaped building with peeling walls.
As soon as he got closer, the stale and medicinal smell in the air filled Li Luo's nostrils.
The faint sound of coughing reached her ears, and combined with the hospital building standing not far away, the girl had a rough idea of the situation of the residents in this area.
Her father, Zhen Naihe, was a forensic doctor before the apocalypse.
Although she later divorced her mother Li Wuke, she was unable to continue to stay with her father.
However, the influence of what one sees and hears in childhood is still inevitable.
She often goes to similar places.
I was still young at that time and didn’t understand the hidden meaning of those buildings.
I just feel that this is a place where people are cured and saved.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Luo doesn't like potions and stale smells.
The weak coughs that came from time to time made her even more irritated.
"I'll take you to see their other side." Xu Xiao's expression remained calm, without the slightest ripple.
"They?" Li Luo's brows furrowed even tighter:
"Why are they here? Shouldn't they be in the other direction?"
"People are multifaceted." Xu Xiao walked forward slowly and responded calmly:
"And people are not trees, they don't stay in one place."
“We play different roles in different environments.”
"For example, before the apocalypse, I played the role of Lu Li's classmate; after the apocalypse, I played the role of an unnoticed secret admirer; now, I play the role of a burden to you."
"It's just that the essence behind every role I play is me, and it has never changed."
Li Luo's eyelids twitched and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
She knew very well that under normal circumstances, Xu Xiao would never be able to utter these words calmly.
At most think about it secretly.
But why can I speak it so calmly now?
The whole person was as calm as a bystander...
Time passes slowly in silent breathing and silent footsteps.
Soon, Xu Xiao stopped in front of a wooden door and said lightly:
"arrive."
Without further words, Li Luo immediately turned into black water and collapsed, and in the form of a shadow, he slipped in through the not-so-narrow gap in the door.
After a moment of darkness, the picture reappeared.
Without the obstruction of the wooden door, the coughing sound that reached my ears suddenly became extremely clear.
Following the sound, Li Luo saw a weak figure with gray hair curled up on the bed against the wall.
Just as he was about to go forward to check, his attention was attracted by the sound of boiling liquid.
There seemed to be medicine boiling on the honeycomb coal stove in the corner. White steam was humming out, adding a bit of bitterness to the air that was already filled with the smell of burnt charcoal.
"Is the medicine ready?"
A voice that sounded like a question or a soliloquy came from the inner room.
Li Luo saw a man lifting the door curtain. He first glanced at the old man on the bed, then squatted beside the medicine stove, skillfully picked up the medicine pot from the stove, and slowly poured out the medicine.
The old man's cough became more and more violent.
Because of his anxiety, the man moved a little too quickly and accidentally spilled some medicine on his hands.
Even though he was grimacing from the heat, his hand holding the medicine bowl was still steady, without any sign of trembling.
"Mom, please wait a moment. The medicine is still too hot."
The man brought the medicine bowl in front of him, blew into it patiently, and spoke gently to the old man on the bed.
Seeing this, the gloom on Li Luo’s face completely disappeared.
Instead, there is a deep solemnity.
"Son, my illness has burdened you..."
"Why don't we just stop the treatment and save the money for our daughter's education..."
After a burst of coughing, the old man on the bed let out a long sigh.
"Mom, look at what you are saying!" The man smiled with a fake smile and continued:
"Don't worry about the money!"
"I am now doing well at work and am appreciated by my leaders. My future is bright."
"Once I finish the case at hand, my boss promised to let me get a promotion. Then my salary will increase and my life will be more comfortable!"
When the old man heard this, the wrinkles on his forehead relaxed slightly, and the pain that had plagued him for a long time seemed to be alleviated at this moment.
She sat up from the bed with the help of the man and asked curiously:
"Is it the rape and murder case in the women's restroom?"
"Yes." The man nodded and continued to blow the medicine to speed up the cooling.
The old man gave a solemn and earnest admonition:
"Then you must judge carefully and seriously! When it comes to matters involving human lives, you must not be careless, and you must not bend the law for personal gain..."
When the man heard this, an unnatural look appeared on his face for a moment, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.
"Don't worry, Mom. The evidence in this case is solid. We just have to wait for the suspect to confess."
"The higher-ups have asked for severe punishment and quick action. I estimate that it won't be long before the sentence is handed down."
"By then, it will only take one bullet."
“Oh, I see…” There was some confusion in the old man’s eyes. It was obvious that he was not well educated and could not understand the meaning of the professional terms used by the man.
However, the smile on her son's face made her feel at ease.
I was just casually asking about my son's work situation, and seeing that everything seemed to be going well, I didn't ask any more questions.
"The medicine is cold, please drink it slowly." The man handed the medicine bowl to the old man and specifically reminded him to drink it slowly.
While the old man was drinking the medicine, the man continued:
"Mom, after I finish this case and confirm my promotion, let's go to Kyoto."
"I heard from my boss that he knows a very good doctor over there who specializes in treating illnesses like yours."
"Let's ask him to take a look, so you can get better soon and suffer less."
