It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Xiaoniao was stumbling halfway through her words when Dr. Chen's expression suddenly changed.

Her cheeks quickly heated up in just a few seconds, and her whole body was in chaos.

Chen Xiaoyue said in panic: "I, I last night..."

Xiao Niao's eyes looked unusually calm. "You suddenly walked up to my bedside last night and reached out to touch my neck."

Chen Xiaoyue: "Ah..."

Xiao Niao: "You looked really bad, like you were sleepwalking. My hands were so strong I couldn't pull them apart... I had no choice but to let you touch me."

Despite all these reasons, this behavior still seemed to be completely unethical. It was no wonder that Xiaoniao looked at her with such a vigilant look before.

Chen Xiaoyue's gaze dodged helplessly in the room. She pursed her lips tightly and her ears were a little red.

Xiao Niao: "Then you touched it for a while, and then suddenly fell straight down."

Xiaoniao paused for a moment and gestured on the bed, "It's probably right here. You just lay down and didn't move."

Chen Xiaoyue looked blankly at the place the bird was pointing at and nodded.

"I was startled and rang the bell to call the nurse on duty to come and rescue you," Xiao Niao said. "After checking, they said you were just too tired and fell asleep."

It was already quite late, and unfortunately, there were no extra seats in the hospital lounge that day. Chen Xiaoyue lived alone and there was no way to ask someone to take her home.

Xiaoniao then suggested that Dr. Chen

I rested for the night on the accompanying bed next to me - all the beds were empty anyway.

"...Always, probably like this," Xiao Niao said with a hint of concern, "Doctor, are you listening?"

"doctor?"

The doctor looked like he was about to break.

------

-

Although Xiao Niao said tolerantly that he was not angry, Chen Xiaoyue still felt uneasy, as if a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

I believe that if she could, she would definitely choose to go back to last night and end her life calmly and professionally.

This description may seem a bit exaggerated, but if you have ever experienced social death in front of the person you care about most, you will probably understand the doctor's despair at this moment.

In short, she turned and ran away in a very embarrassed manner.

It will probably take Dr. Chen quite some time to selectively forget this matter from his mind.

Xiao Niao looked at Chen Xiaoyue's back as she hurried away, and a hint of happiness after a prank arose in her heart - when she spoke like that just now, she did want to tease the other person.

Maybe it was because he was too bored staying in the hospital, Xiao Niao couldn't help but reflect on himself.

She had been awake for a while. After borrowing the nurse's cell phone to report her safety to her family, she had nothing to do.

Xiao Niao's closest relative now is his grandmother, and the rest are distant relatives who live far away.

My grandmother couldn't come to visit me due to health reasons, and my relatives who were not very close to me would not make a special trip to a strange city just for my sake.

Although he could still contact classmates and friends...but Xiaoniao's phone was destroyed in the car accident.

She couldn't remember anyone's cell phone number at the moment. Although she lived in the real world with advanced information technology, it was not much different from being isolated from the outside world.

I can only be patient and recuperate, and recover as soon as possible.

On the other hand, because the bird was healing well, the hospital arranged for the attending physician to see it again in the afternoon and discuss rehabilitation-related matters.

Xiao Niao was helped by the nurse into a wheelchair and pushed to the attending physician's office.

It is worth mentioning that, whether it was because of work or because she was still in shock about what happened last night, Chen Xiaoyue did not appear in front of Xiaoniao the entire morning.

Xiao Niao didn't care too much about it. She carefully consulted with her attending physician about her body's recovery condition and the rehabilitation exercises she would do next.

After the treatment, Xiao Niao refused the nurse's offer to accompany him and pushed his wheelchair back to the ward by himself.

The wheelchair is specially designed for patients. It is not difficult to use once you get the hang of it, and you can also exercise your arm coordination at the same time.

It shouldn't be long before he can be discharged from the hospital, Xiao Niao thought.

Thinking of this, she felt quite excited for a moment.

So, when he saw the unexpected visitor, Xiao Niao was obviously surprised.

The visitor was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was wearing a very sophisticated and well-fitting suit, and his facial hair and beard were also neatly groomed, giving people a gentle and elegant first impression.

He stood quietly in front of Xiao Niao's bed, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, respected external executor," he said. "I am the agent selected by the Master Controller. I'm here to discuss the follow-up matters regarding your 'wish'."

Xiao Niao raised his head and looked at him. It took him a long time to understand what the other party meant by these strange words.

Then, it was as if a sudden electric current ran through her brain.

A word suddenly appeared in Xiao Niao's mind.

It’s really strange. I have been awake for so many days, why haven’t I thought about it even once?

Xiao Niao blurted out: "Are you Tongzi—no, are you someone sent by the system?"

The visitor shook his head slightly. "Not exactly. You can think of me as a colleague of the System. Like it, I am appointed and driven by the Master."

But Xiao Niao on the other side did not fully listen to what this person said.

"How could Tongzi suddenly disappear..."

She muttered to herself, pressing her head in disbelief, "This doesn't make sense... How could I have woken up for so many days and not thought about it at all?"

Yes, after more than 20 years of companionship, Tongzi is no longer just a convenient golden finger for Xiaoniao.

There is a very deep revolutionary friendship between this man and Tongzi. To a certain extent, Xiaoniao even regards Tongzi as a family member.

How could she suddenly forget about the other person completely?

After observing Xiao Niao's expression, the visitor felt a little surprised.

What's going on? He thought to himself, the controller should have already undergone an emotional cleansing... Is there something special about this person's spiritual body?

Thinking of this, the visitor coughed slightly and said the prepared explanation to the bird: "Sir, this is the normal work process."

"Because the mission has been completed and your wish has been fulfilled, System 71603 has completed its preset work and is now out of the way.

Your body."

"Where is Tongzi now?" Xiao Niao asked subconsciously.

"I'm not sure about that," the visitor smiled at her, "but each numbering system serves the main world. Perhaps your system has already signed a new host and moved to another small world."

Xiao Niao subconsciously frowned. She looked at the elegant middle-aged man who claimed to be the main control agent and said hesitantly, "Really..."

"Of course," the other party replied. "All systems are used by the Master Control, and the Master Control maintains the normal operation of the Main World—the world you and I live in."

The main control agent had a huge smile on his face.

"In a way, your current situation should be considered an honorary retirement."

Chapter 6 already said that Tongzi is the true love [Please refresh]

Xiao Niao looked at the visitor in front of him who was full of doubts, and he rarely felt a sense of unreality.

'Emeritus'?

This word quickly alerted the bird.

As we all know, before traveling to another world, Xiao Niao was a college student with a gentle personality and clear eyes.

As a child born after the millennium, Xiao Niao has been exposed to various entertainment elements since childhood, and has a strong acceptance of popular culture such as "system" and "time travel".

So, when Tongzi approached Xiaoniao, the latter accepted this "adventure" that happened to him with almost no obstacles.

But according to the main controlling agent in front of him, this is not an isolated incident...it seems to be being operated in an organized and regular manner.

There is a world of difference between the two!

Xiao Niao was confused for a moment: What exactly is that thing called [Master Controller]?

According to this agent, the master controller maintains the operation of the real world - this is a word game that blurs the subject of things and naturally leads people to misunderstand that the master controller is an existence similar to the world's entity.

But in reality, who knows what kind of weird things He maintains?

Looking back, Tongzi seemed to have mentioned the existence of the "Master Controller" to him by chance, but it was just a casual remark and Xiaoniao didn't take it too seriously.

But now it seems that a lot of things were concealed from me at the beginning of my time travel.

Xiao Niao almost instinctively made the judgment: Don't believe everything this person says to you.

"So," Xiao Niao put his hands on the wheelchair handles, "what's your purpose in coming to me?"

The agent looked quite calm.

He nodded politely and spoke methodically, "As I said at the beginning, I'm here to discuss the follow-up of 'Wish' with you."

"...I thought my wish had been fulfilled?" Xiao Niao raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, this is just after-sales service," the agent said. "Don't worry. The main controller won't force you to go to the new world against your will."

The agent said formally, "On this point, we have always adhered to the principle of autonomy and voluntariness."

"The original contract you made with System 71603 included the word 'health'."

He tapped his knuckles lightly. "Therefore, we will cover all the expenses required for your treatment in the hospital, and we will ensure that your body will recover to a healthy state without any sequelae."

Well, Xiao Niao thought, this would explain why a sum of money from an unknown source was used to pay off his debts.

"As for the time you spent in hospital, we will also compensate you financially."

The agent listed the expenses one by one: "Until you fully recover, the nutritional expenses, lost wages, mental damages... and other expenses will be compensated to you double according to the standards of the relevant case."

what?

Xiao Niao was at a loss.

She really didn't expect this, it was somewhat unexpected.

She had seen people cheating and deceiving others, but she had never seen anyone so eager to give money...

No, that's not right.

I have been in another world for almost twenty years - if you average it out, the compensation is no different from giving money to a beggar.

However, Xiao Niao had no intention of arguing with the agent about this.

She did win the resurrection match because of her main controller. Compared to other people who died directly in that tragic car accident, she had nothing to complain about.

"...This is roughly the compensation plan. Besides that, we also hope that you will keep everything you have experienced confidential and not disclose it in any way."

The agent smiled at the bird and asked, "Are you willing to accept this form of compensation?"

"Can I ask questions?" Xiao Niao asked.

The agent politely extended his hand. "Of course. Please speak up if you have any concerns."

"Oh," Xiao Niao said, "Why does the Master Controller need someone to do tasks for Him? What is His purpose?"

The agent maintained basic politeness: "...that's another question for another price."

Xiao Niao calmly pointed out: "You just said 'any doubts'."

"...Please change another one," the agent's back stiffened. "You can only ask questions related to compensation."

"Ok."

Xiao Niao changed his words: "Then I reject your compensation plan and ask

Please answer my questions honestly as compensation for wasting your time."

The agent looked a little lost, and the business-like smile on his face showed signs of collapsing.

His brows were twisted into a knot, and he was depressed for a long time before he uttered the next sentence: "Are you sure you want to spend such a large sum of money in exchange for a few questions?"

Xiao Niao suddenly felt relieved: he guessed right.

Judging from the series of performances just now, the agent's style is very official, as if he is doing a routine job - if Xiaoniao guessed correctly, he should be acting according to some fixed procedure.

For example: "The wisher must be compensated in a manner acceptable to him."

And if this is true, then there are loopholes in this program.

That is why the agent will proactively offer generous monetary compensation in order to create a habitual mindset and make the bird think in the direction of "how to get more money from this sucker".
