Chapter 23 My Shop Assistant-03
Chapter 23 My Shop Assistant-03
At nine o'clock the next morning, Cheng Xi used two more summoning talismans in the backyard of the hospital.
The time and place were all carefully selected by her.
Since she summoned three casualties last time, she had a hunch that this time, there was a high possibility that the summoned people would also be casualties, and they would be seriously injured and dying.
The backyard of the hospital was convenient for medical treatment. Nine o'clock in the morning on weekdays was basically the time when there were the most doctors. In addition to the newly learned Zhuyoushu and Chenzhou talismans, Cheng Xi believed that even if the summoned shop assistant was missing limbs, even if he was missing a soul and had a brain disability, he could be saved.
Although the premonition was very strong, she still hoped that the summoned shop assistant would be a healthy and long-lived person. After all, she really couldn't afford the medical expenses...
But Cheng Xi's prayers were still ineffective. With two loud "bangs", it was the sound of something falling to the ground. Cheng Xi watched two wounded men fall in front of her, and blood kept flowing and spreading on the cold ground.
Cheng Xi:...
Calm down, calm down, emotional stability is the best health for a store manager.
She skillfully and quickly helped the two people in front of her to stop bleeding, treat their fatal injuries, and maintain their lives.
One of the men was very tall, wearing a black feather coat, a red hood with a heart hanging on it, and a clown costume with strong colors painted on his face, which was a mess of tears, blood, and snow water. He had many gunshot wounds and external injuries on his body. The bullets penetrated his flesh, and the blood completely dyed his white shirt red.
He must have been injured in a very cold place, because a lot of white and cold snow fell on his black feather coat, which began to melt gradually at this temperature.
He was obviously dying, and even his breathing was very weak, but he was smiling.
Although the other man's face seemed to be a little haggard due to the torture of life, his handsome features could still be seen. His face was pale, with short red hair, and he was wearing a sandy long coat and jeans. The hair on the cheeks was burnt a little, and there were many scratches on his body, but the fatal wound was the bullet that hit his heart.
When the doctors and nurses in the hospital saw Cheng Xi holding two seriously injured patients, their eyes widened and they wished they were bigger than light bulbs. They instantly imagined eight hundred identities for Cheng Xi, such as undercover, intelligence specialist, lurker, etc., and their eyes became mysterious when they looked at her.
However, fantasy is fantasy. The professional quality and level of the doctors in this hospital are still very high. They immediately started to arrange the operation without stopping, racing against time to remove the bullets from their bodies, prevent infection and perform blood transfusion and bandage.
Among them, Cheng Xi helped in the operation of the red-haired man in the operating room throughout the whole process. After all, the wound on his heart was too difficult to deal with. If Cheng Xi hadn't kept him alive, he might have died when he first came to this world.
After more than ten hours of surgery, the two of them were out of danger. After confirming that there were no sequelae to the functions of various organs and they could be used normally, they were transferred to the general ward.
In the same ward with the Butterfly Sisters and Yoshino Junpei.
Because of the breathing method, after ten days of bed rest, Chanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho have almost recovered and gradually started rehabilitation, while Junpei Yoshino has fully recovered.
Cheng Xi entered the ward. Her impression of the Joker was still stuck in the Gotham in the movie. He was cunning, crazy, and arrogant. If she let such a person be her clerk, she would probably blow up her store elegantly and then shoot the customers who escaped twice.
But when she saw the familiar face lying on the bed, she was stunned.
The man who took off the clown costume had a fluffy blond hair and a gentle face. He was her good friend before.
"Luo... Luo Xinandi!" Cheng Xi couldn't help but exclaimed directly. How could he be so seriously injured and dressed like this? What mission did Sengoku give him? Countless questions emerged in her mind.
Chanae asked doubtfully, "Ms. Cheng Xi, do you know him?"
"Yes, he is my friend before." She replied.
Luo Xinandi's eyelids suddenly moved, with a sign of waking up, and his consciousness was gradually recovering.
"Rosie, Rosie?" Cheng Xi called softly.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that something was wrong in the room.
It was too quiet.
The ticking of the clock hands, the sound of birds, the footsteps and conversations of people outside the door, and the breathing of everyone in the room all disappeared, and the silence in the room was terrifying.
As the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps who have encountered many strange blood demon arts, Kocho Shinobu and Kocho Kanae immediately grasped the Nichirin Sword, and Yoshino Junpei was also ready to summon the jellyfish shikigami.
Only Cheng Xi did not have any defensive measures. This is the ability of the Silence Fruit. She has now completely confirmed that the identity of the seriously injured person on the hospital bed is Rosie Xindi.
The first thing Rosie Xindi did when he regained consciousness was to unfold the soundproof wall. Delay a little longer, delay a little longer... Every second he gained would give Rosie a chance to be saved.
Go, Rosie, you are free, and from now on you must live a healthy and happy life.
He thought so, and the moment he opened his eyes, he met a pair of bright eyes like glass. She leaned in and said something. Judging from her lip shape, it should be: "Rossi, you are awake."
"Cheng... Cheng Cheng Cheng Xi!?" Rosinandi's eyes widened, and he was surprised like an emoticon. In the last second, he saw the endless white snow and his brother's shooting, and in the next second, he was lying on a warm bed, and in front of him was his friend who had died many years ago.
He took back his ability and tried to adapt to this matter, and then asked his friend a question: "Cheng Xi, is this heaven or hell?"
"Can I use the power of the devil fruit after death?"
Rosinandi thought he was not qualified to go to heaven, but Cheng Xi, such a kind person, should not go to hell, so his brain was confused and asked this question.
However, before answering, his friend's fist came. Although it was not covered with domineering, it was really painful. A big bump swelled up on his forehead, and it was still steaming.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" He covered his forehead and cried out in pain.
The danger was over, and Shinobu Kocho put down her Nichirin Sword. As a doctor, she couldn't help but remind him: "Don't be so violent to a patient who just woke up, Miss Cheng Xi!"
"Don't say the word death casually, idiot. Compared to heaven or hell, I hope my friends can live well in the world."
"Ah?" Rosinante pinched her arm, and felt the warm and soft skin. "I'm not dead?"
Another punch.
"I told you not to say such words casually. We are all living well."
Shinobu Kocho gave up persuading her.
Cheng Xi's cold voice sounded: "Who did it?"
Her breathing quickened slightly, her face was gloomy, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her palm stroked the scabbard. Several people in the room felt a murderous intent, and even the temperature dropped a lot.
"What?"
"Who hurt you like this? I'm going to chop him."
"Hey, wait, Cheng Xi." Rosinante tried to make a big smile to stop her, "Don't go."
"Huh?" Cheng Xi deliberately showed a fierce expression, "Don't tell the person who bullied you that you are important."
Rosinante remained silent.
To him, Luo was free, and his past was meaningful. He was lucky to be alive despite his death.
She continued to chop people, and Rosinante continued to stop her. The two of them pushed the issue back and forth, and finally Cheng Xi was defeated. He sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I give up chopping people."
"Then are you going back to the headquarters? Or do you have any other plans?"
"I'm not going back to the headquarters." His tone was a little lost. Rosinante didn't know how to face the person he respected as a father, so he chose to escape. "As for the plan, I don't have it yet." "
Then, come to my breakfast shop as a clerk." Cheng Xi suggested with a smile, "It just so happens that we both chose to leave the navy."
"Breakfast shop?"
"Yeah." Cheng Xi told him about the fact that she used the summoning talisman to summon the clerk. They had a good relationship when they were in the navy before, and Rosinante naturally nodded and agreed to her taking him in.
However, when Cheng Xi was too enthusiastic and rational, he suddenly sighed again, looking a little desperate.
As a friend, she knew very well that Rosinante was a careless person with a simple mind. He would fall when walking, his clothes would be set on fire when smoking, and he would fall into the sea when fishing. No matter how you looked at him, he had nothing in common with the mature, stable, capable, sociable, and reliable adult she had wished for.
If he were to be her clerk, she would go bankrupt just from the money she had to pay for the broken dishes every month, right?
"How old are you now?" she asked. Judging from the changes in his appearance, he should be an adult now, right?
"26."
He met half of the four requirements, so he was an adult.
Cheng Xi turned her gaze to the red-haired man who was still unconscious in the bed next to her, and secretly wished that he was a reliable person.
She told Rosinante to take good care of his injuries in the hospital, and she returned to the store to continue redecorating.
The surgery fee for Rosinante and the red-haired man was another huge sum of money.
When she first decided to settle in Furrens Island, Cheng Xi thought about becoming a pirate hunter to catch pirates and make money, but she was afraid of being discovered and exposed, and she didn't really put it into action. But now she really owes too much debt, and Junpei's body has fully recovered, so he can go to the base to collect the money.
The next day at noon, Cheng Xi and Yoshino Junpei drove a small broken boat to look for targets on the sea. They took two large stacks of bounties and selected them according to the passing pirate ships. It would be best if they were between 40 million and 80 million. Too much might cause a sensation, and too little would not be enough. She also wanted to build a chemical laboratory next to the store for Xiao Shinobu, and buying instruments would also be a huge sum of money.
The target was a captain with a bounty of 60 million, and his deputy captain also had a bounty of 20 million Baileys.
Cheng Xi explained to Junpei the application of Armament Haki and Observation Haki while fighting. The whole process was easy and relaxed, and asked him to use the basic techniques he had just learned last night to deal with ordinary people on the ship.
The result was naturally a great victory. When Cheng Xi was about to tie them up in exchange for the bounty, they heard begging for mercy. They knelt on the ground, crawled to Cheng Xi's feet, and cried bitterly, their faces blurred with tears and snot. They said that they could give all the property on the ship to Cheng Xi and asked her to spare their lives.
Treasure!?
Cheng Xi's soul trembled directly, and the clouds cleared to see the moon.
When she was a sailor, she got a fixed salary every month. Although there were bonuses during the holidays, she could catch a few pirates with high bounties every month, and then send the treasures on their ships back to the headquarters.
She has been fixed in her mind and there is no option of robbing pirates in her life.
Sure enough, my sense of morality is too high, she thought secretly in her heart, there is really no future in being a sailor.
After robbing the pirate ship and obtaining treasures far exceeding 80 million Baileys, Cheng Xi and Junping returned to the store. Looking at the newly renovated restaurant, Yoshino Junping felt a little guilty and apologized to Cheng Xi. Cheng Xi said that it was not his fault, it was all the fault of the real person, and hoped that Junping would chop him a few more times for him after returning to the original world.
As soon as these treasures were placed, they received a call from Kocho Shinobu, who told Cheng Xi that the red-haired man had woken up.
Cheng Xi rushed to the hospital to explain the cause and effect of the crossing to him, and learned some information about this man.
This man with a pair of sea-blue eyes is called Oda Sakunosuke, 23 years old, living in a world with supernatural powers, and has a predictive supernatural power called "Perfect Clothes". He used to be a postman, and later because of the invitation of his friends, he joined the port Mafia and became a low-level employee who solved chores. His dream was to become a novelist.
Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, feeling that this man was a reliable employee tailor-made for him. The most important thing was to be a novelist, so that when he was stuck in the future, wouldn't someone share it?
She excitedly told Oda Sakunosuke that she was also a novelist and that they could write novels together in the future, but he refused.
"I killed people. People who took human lives are no longer qualified to write novels."
The room fell into silence. Everyone could feel the suffocating sadness in him. Cheng Xi looked like he wanted to say something. Kohou Nin was afraid that she would say "Don't be sad" and tried to stop her, but it was too late. She spoke, but it was not to comfort him.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"Curry."
"What kind of curry?" "
Extra spicy curry."
"Okay." Cheng Xi turned and went out. After about half an hour, he returned to the ward and handed the lunch box to him. As soon as he opened the lid, a strong and pungent spicy smell instantly filled the entire ward. The smell alone would make him cough.
Butterfly Kanae couldn't help but ask, "Miss Cheng Xi, what did you add to your curry..."
Cheng Xi answered truthfully, "Cheng Xi's exclusive secret recipe, spicy curry with garlic and devil pepper!"
Everyone was speechless. Wouldn't this be an invitation for attempted food murder?
Oda Sakunosuke didn't have any objection to being a clerk. Anyway, it was a blessing to save his life. The woman who saved him disappeared after asking him indirectly why he thought that killing people was not qualified to write novels. He thought she was bored with his reasons, but he didn't expect that she would appear in front of his bed again three days later.
Cheng Xi held a lot of books in his hands and put them on the bed. Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the cover, but was shocked by the content on it.
Natsume Soseki!
"Okay, let's find the reason here." Cheng Xi vaguely remembered that Natsume Soseki was a writer in the Keio era, so he spent a long time searching in the vast sea of books in Langhuan Pavilion before collecting them, and asked the fairy sister to bring them to the real world for a few days. Anyway, he couldn't comfort people, so he might as well let the books say all the words.
She told Oda Sakunosuke about her ability to advance time, and persuaded him: "Tragedy can be saved and will not happen again."
Oda Sakunosuke did not turn the page, but asked her: "Why do you care so much about whether I will continue to write novels?"
"Isn't your dream to become a novelist? I just think writing novels will make you happy." Cheng Xi replied, "It is a compulsory course for a store manager to keep his employees in a good and happy mood during working hours."
...
When the wounds on Oda Sakunosuke's body were almost healed, Cheng Xi had a sudden idea and planned to summon the last clerk in front of the clerks. In fact, he just wanted to make the clerks feel the despair and helplessness every time he summoned someone to fight and lose someone.
Everyone looked at the direction of the summoning talisman very seriously. In fact, they were also curious about the result this time.
As the talisman paper burned out, the air fluctuated violently. With a "bang", Cheng Xi, Yoshino Junpei, and Oda Sakunosuke were all very surprised when they saw the face of the person in front of them clearly.
My childhood has come true?
To be precise, this last clerk is not a human, but the Wizardmon who died to protect Tailmon in the "Digimon Adventure" that was well-known to everyone in childhood and basically everyone had watched.
Cheng Xi: Damn...
My childhood has come true, but I don't know the data code, how can I save it! ?
