In the heart of the ocean of sorrow, Zhang Shou passed away surrounded by the crowd.
Then, the passive skill 'Healer Does Not Die From Illness' automatically triggered, and his shriveled, aged body rapidly filled out, returning to its original state in just a few seconds.
His stopped heart immediately began to beat powerfully, and vitality quickly spread to every corner of his body.
"..."
Yu Xian was holding Zhang Shou, so he noticed Zhang Shou's change immediately.
His crying stopped, and the people around him sensed something was wrong, turning to look at him, and then they discovered Zhang Shou's change.
Actually, Zhang Shou regained consciousness the instant after he stopped breathing, but seeing everyone so sad, he felt awkward interrupting them.
At this moment, sensing that the sound seemed a bit off, he quietly opened his eyes and found everyone staring blankly at him, and he couldn't help but show an awkward yet polite smile.
He swallowed, and humbly asked, "Uh... the atmosphere has reached this point, and it seems a bit unfair to everyone if I don't die. How about... I die one more time?"
"You damn well cut the nonsense, come back with me for another body check, don't even think about messing around again!" Yu Xian changed his embrace to a grab, pulling him and walking out, and the crowd consciously parted to let the two leave.
After watching the two leave, people still hadn't recovered from their daze.
The people who were just immersed in sorrow now felt an indescribable absurdity and humor; if a few crows could fly by in the sky, it would be even more fitting.
Next to the Security Bureau of Silver City.
Yu Xian brought Zhang Shou back and immediately asked several doctors to re-examine Zhang Shou's physical condition.
He vaguely felt something was wrong. As a Vampire, although he didn't drink blood, he was very sensitive to the qi and blood of living beings. For example, he could easily tell if a person was sick just by the smell of their blood, and could even discern if a woman was a virgin.
Legend has it that Vampires like to drink virgin blood, probably because they are overly sensitive to the smell of blood, coupled with psychological factors, forming this strange habit.
Fortunately, Yu Xian didn't like drinking blood, so this had nothing to do with him.
However, he could be certain that after Zhang Shou's resurrection, his qi and blood were definitely problematic.
...
The next day.
Yu Xian and Zhang Shou sat side by side in the office.
Jin Sheng, holding the freshly released report, spoke after a while: "The latest report shows that Zhang Shou's body has completely returned to its state before the examination. This indicates that his side effects are significant, but not as great as we imagined."
"Let me see," Yu Xian immediately said.
Jin Sheng handed the report to Yu Xian, who quickly skimmed through it.
In the report, Zhang Shou's side effect was named 'Seven-Day Life-Death Cycle Calamity'. Simply put, if Zhang Shou doesn't activate his skills, he will experience a cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death every seven days. If he uses his skills, this cycle will accelerate.
The report also indicated that Zhang Shou's passive effect began recording when the system was activated. His First death each day would cause his body's state to revert to the state recorded when the system was activated.
Simply put, as long as Zhang Shou doesn't die, he will forever be trapped in the cycle from 17 to 77 years old. On Monday, he is 17, and by Sunday, he becomes a 77-year-old old man.
This was also why Yu Xian felt Zhang Shou's qi and blood had a problematic smell; the qi and blood of a 17-year-old and a 77-year-old would certainly smell vastly different.
"Take a look," Yu Xian said, handing the report to Zhang Shou after finishing it.
After reading the report, Zhang Shou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but ask, "So, I'm destined to die and come back to life my entire life?"
It's not easy to update, remember to share 101kanshu.com
"Not necessarily. For example, if you die four times in a row in one day, even an immortal probably couldn't save you then," Jin Sheng said, looking at Zhang Shou.
Yu Xian looked at Zhang Shou and sternly warned, "Old Zhang, did you hear that? Don't think you can mess around just because you have several lives. I'm not saying you can't use your skills, but at least be mindful and don't always leave no room for error."
"Yesterday, I was thinking I was going to die anyway, so I might as well be heroic before I died. Since I can live, I definitely won't mess around," Zhang Shou said with an awkward smile.
Thinking of the emotional scene from yesterday, he was so embarrassed he wanted to dig out a five-room, one-living apartment.
Jin Sheng then took out a form, placed it in front of Zhang Shou, and said, "Fill out this form. Also... interested in joining us?"
"Captain, can I?" Zhang Shou's eyes lit up.
He knew Yu Xian seemed to have joined a very powerful official organization, but the problem was he still didn't know the organization's name; this office didn't even have a nameplate.
"You're already calling me Captain, of course you can."
Jin Sheng said with a smile, a little figure already dancing in his heart in celebration; his squad finally had a healer.
Then he slowly explained the situations of Kylin and the Evil Extermination Squad, and after finishing, asked, "So, do you want to join?"
"Join, join, I'll join! Can I be on Xian Yu's team?" Zhang Shou nodded.
Jin Sheng glanced at Yu Xian and smiled, "You and Xian Yu are already on the same team. From now on, you are the healer of the Evil Extermination Squad, ranked 6340, code-named Death Doctor. Your ID will be given to you in a few days."
"Death Doctor, hehe, sounds a bit cool," Zhang Shou said happily.
Yu Xian smiled, "Congratulations, Fourth Aunt."
"What Fourth Aunt? It's Death Doctor, the tones are different!" Zhang Shou immediately retorted.
Yu Xian nodded repeatedly, smiling, "Mhm, mhm, got it, Fourth Aunt."
"Uh, Captain, how about my code name is still Old Zhang?" Zhang Shou knew very well that Yu Xian would definitely keep calling him Fourth Aunt, and if it spread, the whole team would be led astray by him. Rather than that, it's better to change the code name now.
Jin Sheng said helplessly, "The code name Old Zhang has already been taken. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with another code name. Fourth Aunt is actually quite good; it can even confuse enemies. Let's stick with Fourth Aunt."
"Nooo!"
Upon hearing that even Death Doctor was gone, Zhang Shou immediately cried out mournfully.
Indeed, happiness is built upon the suffering of others. Jin Sheng and Yu Xian simultaneously showed joyful smiles at this moment.
...
...
Three days later, at noon.
Yu Xian sat on the balcony sunbathing, holding his phone and looking at the class group chat.
Although many classmates in the class had already perished, no one had removed the accounts of the deceased classmates from the group.
Chen Ling sent a voice message in the group: "Has everyone heard?"
"Your Majesty, just say it directly. How could our news be as well-informed as yours?" Zhang Shou said via voice message.
Yu Xian smiled and sent a voice message: "Let me guess, school is starting again, right?"
"School is starting, but you definitely won't guess where we're going to school," Chen Ling said via voice message.
Yu Xian narrowed his eyes and sent a voice message: "Superpower Academy?"
Almost all schools in Silver City were invaded by Alienated Insects; it was 'almost' because Superpower Academy had not been invaded by Alienated Insects.
"How did you know?" Chen Ling asked in surprise.
This was information she had spent several days trying to find out, and Yu Xian had revealed it in one sentence.
Yu Xian smiled, "Not only do I know we're going to Superpower Academy, I also know that all surviving students in the entire city will be concentrated at Superpower Academy."
He was now a member of the Evil Extermination Squad, after all, and could learn a lot of information in advance through Jin Sheng or the Kylin APP.
There weren't many surviving students in the city now; gathered together, each grade would probably only have two classes.
However, many students had psychological trauma and simply didn't dare to return to their original schools for classes. Additionally, parents were also uneasy about their children going back to school, so only by transferring to Superpower Academy, a school with no victims, could they, to some extent, put the parents' minds at ease.
