"Um...are you the dean Ming Fuwu?"

"Wha...what?"

"Hmm... Are you the director of TG University Hospital? Are you aware of this?"

"Yes, I am."

"Ah, great! I was worried that the address on the note was wrong!"

“…could it be that…you’ve been [tracking] me?”

"Yeah! It really took me a lot of effort! Oh, I'm so unlucky today! Not only was I almost hit by a flower pot upstairs, but I also encountered a truck with broken brakes when I was crossing the road... I was really scared to death.

Me!"

"Are you hurt?"

"It's just a few scratches, it doesn't matter~"

"Oh? This is really surprising..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"After all, there has never been anyone who can get so close to me through the torrent of misfortune..."

"emmm..."

"I'm starting to get curious. What will happen if you get closer to me? What will happen if you are only one centimeter away from me? I don't know very well myself. After all, this is indeed the first time..."

"Um...are you talking to me?"

"Child, what is your name?"

"Eh? Me? My name is Luo Yunyi!"

"Yun...Yi...what a good name. So Yunyi, can you try to come over and give me a hug?"

"ah?"

"Just one moment."

"Hmm... Okay~ But as promised, I can only hug you once! Otherwise, Sister Mio will be unhappy again."

"Oh, what a good boy..."

“[wonderofu]…”

…

"Uh uh... cough cough cough -" Awakened from his dream by the familiar feeling of "as if there were ants crawling in the blood vessels", Luo Yunyi sat up suddenly while coughing violently.

Looking around, he found himself in a dark room.

"Hiss...have I been unconscious for a whole day?" Luo Yunyi, who subconsciously thought it was night, muttered to himself.

"Oh, have you woken up?" Dio's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Di...Mr. Dior..." Lou Yunyi followed the call and quickly found Dior, who was turning the pages of a book gracefully by the dim candlelight.

"Don't worry Yunyi, I'm right here." Sensing Luo Yunyi's gaze that was mixed with anxiety and uneasiness, Dior chuckled and responded warmly.

"Well..." The confusion and anxiety in his heart were gently soothed by the warm words like the spring breeze. Luo Yunyi couldn't help but show a smile of relief; he looked down at the clothes that were tightly covering his body, and the edges were patiently covered by people.

The smoothed quilt made a warm current surge in his heart.

"Your condition is not stable yet. Let's rest for a while." Dio gently closed the book in his hand and put it on the table. Dio suggested with concern as he stood up and walked in the direction of Luo Yunyi.

"Well, okay..." Luo Yunyi stroked his head, which was still a little dazed, and nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Yunyi, you..." Looking at Luo Yunyi, whose eyes gradually became clearer, Dior, who felt that the time was ripe for recruitment, spoke slowly.

"Ah! Right... right!" However, as soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Yunyi who suddenly recalled something.

The bright red eyes, the disgusting smell, the severe pain that penetrated the body... what he saw, heard and felt before he completely lost consciousness came back like a tidal wave, and Luo Yunyi's newly relaxed nerves were once again like a fully drawn bowstring.

He tensed up: "You...your injury, I...my injury..." I saw him repeating a fragmented sentence incoherently, while he hurriedly opened his clothes and looked at his abdomen.

"Huh?" However, what shocked Luo Yunyi was that the skin on his abdomen was actually intact, with no trace of injury visible.

"This..." Luo Yunyi was confused for a moment: "Am I hallucinating?"

"What's wrong Yun Yi?" Looking at Luo Yunyi who looked confused, Dio asked knowingly.

Judging from Luo Yunyi's words and deeds, he knew that [The World]'s attack had indeed been discovered by this young man. However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, in an emergency situation where the internal organs exploded one after another, even he, Dio, could not do anything about it.

His head was buzzing; his brain was completely blank, and even counterattack was only done subconsciously, let alone using his substitute ability.

"I..." Luo Yunyi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"After being attacked by your substitute last night, I was indeed seriously injured;" Dio said slowly and pretendingly: "As for you... I didn't see you injured, and I didn't find any wounds on your body. You

Could it be because he fainted from blood or was stimulated by seeing so much blood for the first time and had hallucinations?" He guessed "reasonably" and said: "Maybe it was because his eyes were covered with blood.

wrong?"

"Um... maybe that's true..." Luo Yunyi was not suspicious and nodded in agreement: "By the way, your injury..."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Dio waved his hand: "After all, I am also a substitute."

"Huh... That's good..." Luo Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, Mr. Dior, how long have I been unconscious?"

"It didn't take long, just a whole night and a whole morning."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Luo Yunyi was shocked: "Then why now..." Looking at the dark room, he couldn't help but ask questions.

"In fact, my skin is severely allergic to the sun, which also means that I have no way to touch the sun, and I can't go out during the day." Dior told the truth: "The reason why the room is so dark is because I have drawn the curtains.

Up."

"Ah...I see..." Noticing the faint light coming from between the heavy curtains, Luo Yunyi nodded in realization.

"Oh, by the way, I'll give this back to you." Dior slowly sat down on the chair next to the bed. As he spoke, Dior took something out of his jacket pocket and threw it to Luo Yunyi: "This is what I'm helping you with."

You accidentally dropped it when you were changing clothes, but luckily it wasn't damaged."

"Ah, I was just wondering why my neck always feels a little empty..." After seeing the appearance of the object clearly, Luo Yunyi replied with a smile.

"What is this?" Looking at Luo Yunyi who carefully put the pendant back on his neck, Dior asked curiously: "The workmanship is very exquisite and the shape is also very elegant... It is worth a lot of money at a glance."

"You ask this? This is called a longevity lock." Luo Yunyi explained: "Because I have been very unlucky since I was very young. I always encounter various [accidents] and even died from it several times.

I almost lost my life; in order to ward off the disaster, my father asked people to give me a longevity lock."

"Although I will still encounter various accidents after wearing this lock, the frequency has indeed been reduced a lot; and wearing this lock always makes me feel like my father is always with me... This makes me feel

It's very reassuring." Looking at the longevity lock lying quietly in his hand, Luo Yunyi's eyes were full of love and cherishment for it.

"So that's it..." Dio nodded understandingly.
