An Acquaintance

Pluto City

Melli University Affiliated General Hospital

This hospital holds the same status in Pluto City as the First Hospital in Jupiter City, being the largest and best-equipped hospital in the city.

A special wound suturing surgery has just been completed, and both the surgeon and the medical team in the operating room are incredulous.

When the injured person was brought in, their condition clearly looked very serious; their abdomen had been cut open, and their entire stomach had been cut open by about 13cm.

According to the hospital director, the injury was caused by the victim himself; he even reached into the tumor and pulled out a clump of proliferating tumor.

Massive bleeding, organ damage, and traumatic infection—these combined factors could make things very complicated.

However, the entire surgery was completed in a short time.

The incision site has basically stopped bleeding, and there is no internal infection.

All they had to do was stitch up the wound. Throughout the entire process, the injured person's vital signs remained above the green line, even more stable than some people in a sub-healthy state.

"Luo Di, wake up! I'm so hungry. Can you make me some breakfast? We can eat while watching the sequel to last night's movie, what do you think?"

In the pitch-black depths of his consciousness, a familiar voice gradually faded away.

It seemed that the person was lying right next to him, under the edge of the bed.

It seems that opening my eyes will mean returning to my familiar home, to my own bedroom, to that completely different winter vacation.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself not in her former bedroom, but in a hospital room without windows, with a camera pointed directly at her.

Luo Di tried to sit up, but found that his right hand was shackled and his body was completely locked to the bed.

Click!

The locked hospital room door opened.

As usual, the doctor came to check on his basic condition, but the results showed that Luo Di's condition was surprisingly good, and he could be discharged in less than two days.

With the doctor's departure,

A researcher wearing a white uniform with an "A" logo on his chest was standing beside the bed.

"Director Wang."

Upon learning of this, Director Wang, who has a square head and a mole above his mouth, traveled a long distance from Jupiter City to meet with Luo Di in the ward as soon as possible.

From the Fourth Middle School Incident to now, Director Wang has spent a lot of energy behind the scenes.

"What happened at the Fifth Hospital this time is no small matter; it even threatens the safety of the director. Your risk assessment has exceeded the management limits of the Mental Hospital, and they have the right to refuse to admit you."

Fortunately, although you committed a violation, you did not pose a direct threat, and there were no injuries or fatalities, so you won't be sent directly to prison.

If Mental Hospital refuses to admit you, our Research Bureau can apply for your admission and keep you in the Research Bureau through a form of "inclusion".

Then you can come back with me to Jupiter City.

Although I need to spend most of my time in the Research Bureau each day, I will be able to go out more often once I am confirmed to be showing signs of recovery and my mental state is gradually stabilizing.

Director Wang had hoped this good news would cheer Luo Di up a little; after all the exchanges, being able to return to his Hometown was a good thing.

To everyone's surprise, Luo Di, lying on the hospital bed, turned his head, widened his eyes, and said firmly:

"I need to stay here."

"Why?"

"I have some unfinished business, so I need to stay at the Fifth Hospital."

On his way here, Director Wang took some time to review the relevant materials provided by the Fifth Hospital.

This includes Luo Di leaving the ward in various strange ways and the surveillance footage constantly being subjected to electromagnetic interference.

Although the extremely tedious testing completely confirmed that Luo Di was not related to the "Corner," there must be something strange behind it, or even something that does not belong to this world.

Director Wang said earnestly, "I know what you're doing needs to be kept secret, otherwise you would have explained it to them already."

But you need to reveal at least some information, otherwise even I can't help you.

Luo Di responded, "It's related to my ability to kill Pseudo-Human, and it's related to [Hell]. You know Director Wang about this."

Currently, I can only maintain contact with the Fifth Hospital, and I'm growing stronger in the process. Only by becoming strong enough can I kill more things related to the Corner.

I am still too weak.

Director Wang nodded.

"Contact... connect... okay, I understand."

Luo Di was invited to the scene immediately after the "Fourth Middle School Incident".

Director Wang was the first to know about the matter concerning "Hell" and "Spine," and he immediately proved that this change was not related to the corner, but rather a very rare "World Connection."

Luo Di now has a brand new name in China - "The Connector".

Because Luo Di's mental state was clearly unstable, Director Wang did not explain further, intending to wait until he recovered after receiving treatment at the Mental Hospital before providing a detailed explanation.

"It is indeed related to your abilities."

However, what you did was too outrageous. I heard that you cut open your abdomen and pulled out a tumor from your stomach right in front of the hospital director.

If we weren't having a normal conversation, and if I didn't know you so well, I would really doubt that you could have withstood the blow from last time.

Furthermore, becoming "stronger" cannot just be something you talk about; it needs to be proven. Otherwise, you will be labeled as dangerous or unstable in the eyes of others, and no one will dare to relax their supervision of you.

Okay, I'll contact the local City Investigation Bureau.

Two weeks later, as an "assistant," you'll help them accomplish something that proves you're becoming stronger. If you can get it done, everything else will be fine.

"What about these two weeks? Can't I go back to the hospital?" Luo Di's words sounded urgent, as if the Fifth Hospital was very important to him.

"I'll call the dean over there later to see if I can get through to him."

After you are discharged, you will need to speak with the hospital director in person to demonstrate, at least through regular conversation and psychological testing, that your mental state is stabilizing and to explain to the hospital that what you are doing is meaningful.

"OK."

"We'll talk privately after you're discharged and everything goes smoothly... Also, if you have any psychological issues, don't suppress them; communicate more with your doctor."

"Stay here and heal your heartache, then come back soon. Nothing in your house has been touched."

"Thank you, Director."

Director Wang got up to go outside to make a phone call and start communicating about dealing with Luo Di's mess, but Luo Di stopped him again.

Where is my knife?

"You've just caused such a big mess, and you're already thinking about getting a knife, huh? I can't give it to you right now."

As I just mentioned, you will be working with the local Investigation Bureau on a matter in two weeks, and they will give you the knife then.

By the way, do you really not need a prosthetic arm?

"Need not."

"OK."

Thanks to Director Wang's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the incident that occurred at the Fifth Hospital was quickly brought to a stop.

The process wasn't as complicated as I'd imagined; in fact, it went quite smoothly.

The Pluto City Investigation Bureau expressed great interest after learning about Luo Di's personal information.

Moreover, there seems to be a rather strange matter that needs to be dealt with recently, and all of Luo Di's information fits the criteria for handling this matter very well.

that's all,

Before he had even spent a full day at the hospital, Luo Di returned to the Fifth Hospital.

The bald-headed hospital director also completely compromised, with only one condition: there must be no casualties, otherwise the hospital would permanently refuse to admit Luo Di.
