Chapter 23: 21. Dubian Che has no tomorrow
The car was completely isolated from the outside; not a single honk from the usually bustling roadside could be heard anymore.
"Early birds really do get caught by the worms! Everything's just as usual; there's really nothing to it. Too smart for your own good!" Dubian Che regretfully thought about slapping himself twice.
"Take them off for me."
"What?" Dubian Che snapped back to reality.
The girl's feet, clad in black knee-high socks, stretched out to the tip of his nose. She looked down at him with a superior, mocking gaze.
Dubian Che leaned back, "If you have something to say, please just say it."

The girl rested her hand on the central armrest of the back seat and said indifferently, "Medicine."
"Yes." The woman opened a hidden compartment in the car.
Seeing the familiar syringes and medicine inside, Bian Che quickly conceded, "Wait, wait! I'll take it off!"
It's just taking off a beautiful girl's socks; a deed many people would beg for!
The girl sneered coldly, "It seems you're not going to die, after all."
Dubian Che stayed silent, gazing at the girl's feet in front of him, slowly stretching out his hand, his fingers hooking into the edge of the knee-high socks.
Feeling somewhat shy, he glanced at the woman in black next to him, who was indifferent to the scene before her.
Truly a servant of a major household—should it be said that she was experienced or that she was only looking at what she was supposed to see.
Dubian Che tried not to touch the girl's skin as he removed the knee-high socks.
The girl's moderately plump feet, easily mistaken for polished jade, were exposed before Dubian Che's eyes.
The feet weren't large, but they were perfectly proportioned, making the toes appear long and cute. The toenails were also trimmed just right.
Before he could get a clear look, the feet moved; one on top of the other they rested on his left shoulder.
"If you're this slow next time and make my legs sore, I'll make you perform 'resurrection' again," the girl said, half-jokingly, though the curve of her lips was rather cold.
Dubian Che took a deep breath and then thought of the feet he had just removed socks from, less than five centimeters away, and quickly stopped breathing in.
He was no pervert—whether a beautiful girl's feet smelled nice or bad, he had no interest at all.
The car fell silent. The girl closed her eyes, seemingly asleep.
Dubian Che suddenly thought that with the girl's beauty, rivaling that of Kiyono Lin, she definitely met the game's requirements for conquest, so he could use the "detector" to obtain some information about her.
The "detector" cost a thousand points, and after the exchange, he'd have just enough left for one "Healing Medicine".
But without handling this unknown girl, even multiple "Healing Medicines" wouldn't be enough.
'Exchange detector'
His remaining 2000 points instantly halved.
Dubian Che's gaze moved up, pausing for two seconds at the girl's pleated school skirt—surprisingly black—then continued upward to her full bust, finally resting on her beautiful sleeping face.
'Use detector'
[Character: Jiutiao Meijie]
[Intelligence: 8]
[Charm: 9]
[Strength: 5]
[Information: Controls the Jiutiao Family's trillion yen assets; Selfish; Indifferent to human life]
[No relationship records, can be conquered]
Selfish? Indifferent to human life?
A thousand points spent, a life-saving "Healing Medicine" wasted, as well as an opportunity with the "detector," all for some rather ominous information!
Now, with only enough points left for one "Healing Medicine," what should he do with the knee-high socks, still warm from the girl's touch, lying in his palm?
Should he casually toss them on the seat? On the ground? Give them back to her?
Which option would keep him from being forced to perform 'resurrection'?
In the end, the car stopped, and Dubian Che still held the knee-high socks in his hand, his body honestly serving as a footrest.
Jiutiao Meijie opened her eyes, and as she drew back her feet, she covered her mouth with her hand, yawning languidly.
The car door opened, and the woman in black got out first, followed by Dubian Che.
He looked around; this was the parking lot of a hospital. Looking towards the hospital's rooftop, the words "Shuntendo University Affiliated Hospital" were hung there.
Behind him, a young girl's mocking laughter came from the car: "Do you like my knee-high socks that much? I'll give them to you then."
Dubian Che looked down and noticed that the top of the socks was tightly gripped by his hand while the rest hung loosely.
"I..."
Like them? Dislike them? Yet another life-threatening choice.
Why is it that other people's romantic games involve choices like "holding hands" or "kissing," but when it comes to him, it turns into this!
Jiutiao Meijie got out of the car, and under the escort of her subordinates, she headed towards the building.
"If you damage them, or if they go missing, I'll put socks over your head to see how many layers it takes to suffocate someone."
Forced to accept the gift, Dubian Che had no choice but to put the knee-high socks into his backpack, separated from "The Great Gatsby" by a layer.
Arriving at the hospital, Dubian Che originally thought Jiutiao Meijie was the one with health issues, but it turned out he was the one taken for various examinations.
Half an hour later, he took off his medical gown, changed back into his own clothes, and was taken to a spacious conference room.
The conference room was empty except for Jiutiao Meijie, a female bodyguard, and an elderly doctor in a white coat.
Only Jiutiao Meijie was sitting in a wide chair, looking at Dubian Che's medical report.
"...Suxamethonium is a substance abundant in the human body, capable of being metabolized quickly and undetectable by experimental methods, his body is completely normal," the doctor stated respectfully, hands clasped in front of him.
Jiutiao Meijie put down the medical report, her slender fingers tapping on the tabletop, and emotionlessly said to Dubian Che, "Speak, your secret."
"I..." Dubian Che fell silent, he absolutely couldn't expose anything about the system.
"I don't like waiting," Jiutiao Meijie stated.
"Maybe, maybe there was something wrong with the medicine you used last time?"
"I see." Jiutiao Meijie waved her hand slightly, and before Dubian Che could discern the bodyguard's actions, he was already subdued.
The black-clad woman had somehow produced a syringe, pressing it against his neck.
Dubian Che's hair stood on end; this woman was actually ready to kill at a moment's notice.
"I really don't know anything, but I passed out, and when I woke up, nothing had happened, I thought you were just trying to scare me! If I really had a secret, why would I still come to school?" he blurted out hastily.
"Last night you just happened to save me, and today is my first day at school yet you happen to bump into me," the girl sneered, "What a coincidence, huh?"
"I..."
Her reasoning made sense, if it weren't for himself, Dubian Che would start suspecting if there was an ulterior motive behind these actions.
"People I kill usually end up at this hospital, where Doctor Miyano is responsible for issuing a death certificate due to acute heart failure," Jiutiao Meijie concluded, and Doctor Miyano modestly bowed his head slightly.
Does that mean he could be killed at any time?
Dubian Che hesitated whether or not to use a Healing Medicine pill; only by surviving could he accumulate more points.
"My patience has its limits, this is your last chance, tell me your identity, your purpose, and how you managed to survive," Jiutiao Meijie declared sternly, her long, slender legs crossed and her hands folded across her chest.
"Actually, it was a kind of medicine that helped me survive."
"Medicine?"
"Yes."
Dubian Che opened the "panel."
"Character: Dubian Che"

'Exchange Healing Medicine'

Points reset to zero.
If Jiutiao Meijie attacked him again, he might get pinned on the transmigrator's wall of shame.
