Chapter 150 Rejection and Seduction
Sometimes, Bai Zhi would be truly grateful for his current unfriendly appearance. At least he was very intimidating in front of strangers.
This allows him to remain silent when faced with some difficult to explain situations, and he can persuade many people to leave with his appearance and temperament.
Especially Bai Zhi's face, which becomes more and more indifferent the more nervous it becomes, which makes people feel intimidated.
People with good tempers would not be able to help but reflect on whether their behavior was offensive; those with bad tempers would think twice before taking action when they saw Bai Zhi's tall and agile body and the dangerous aura that did not seem friendly.
Of course, this trick doesn't have much effect on someone as stubborn as Bernice who is very outgoing.
Bernice is a natural optimist, fearless, warm-hearted, heroic and free-spirited, and in a sense, has a very clear understanding of human nature. She is the kind of person that Bai Zhi doesn't know how to deal with.
After all, Caesar was subconsciously wary of Bai Zhi when they first met because of his warrior intuition.
But Bernice's thinking is different from that of ordinary people...
To use Wright's complaints during a casual chat to describe it: When Bernice is in a good mood, even the passing Yi Hai has to drink a few drinks with her first.
Fortunately, such people are always a minority, and as a researcher in the society, observation is also a necessary skill.
There is always an incredible tacit understanding between adults. Silence is the unspoken rule of rejection, which works most of the time, unless it is intentional or they don’t care about other people’s feelings at all.
Although Bai Zhi felt very pressured when he refused due to his own psychological trauma.
But fortunately, this is not a hospital after all, and he is no longer the same person he used to be.
The team doctor lady who looks very much like the head nurse who has taken care of Bai Yu since he was a child in terms of temperament, is not really that person. She is the head nurse aunt who can be considered as his half-elder.
When the team doctor had no choice but to give up on taking blood for a test, Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything is really different now.
Bai Zhi silently lowered his eyes and loosened his fists clenched nervously under the blanket.
If a seriously ill patient wants to get treatment, he has no option of refusing to cooperate with the doctor, but now he can do it.
Although he was just a temporary "doctor", it was a rare experience for Bai Zhi.
It's like the confused agitation of an animal that has been domesticated since childhood when it realizes for the first time that the rope around its neck is really gone.
Bai Yu disliked hospitals and examinations, but he hadn't been able to refuse them before. The only way he could resist was to pretend to be fine and take his medicine obediently, so as to reduce the number of times he was manipulated by various medical instruments, like a piece of fish on a chopping board, naked and without any self-esteem.
Of course, he didn't really hate the medical staff who were doing their job. Bai Yu simply hated himself for being a "patient" and unable to resist.
The feeling of "self-loathing" often seeps out from these trivial daily things.
But in an environment where even the air is filled with the smell of medicine, it is difficult for people to discover and change their way of thinking.
"That's great."
Bai Zhi couldn't help but put his hand on his chest, feeling the calm and powerful heartbeat in his strong and full chest.
"The feeling of being able to live healthily and to the fullest..."
A vague thought quietly emerged in Bai Zhi's heart, whispering and tempting him.
"If I go back, I'll be trapped in that heavy, sick body again...
Everything you have now will be gone.
Stay here, stay with your friends and family in this world.
Even if this world is dangerous, as long as I am strong enough and Fu Fu is here, I can definitely protect the important people.
Stay here…"
"Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable holding your chest?" The team doctor finished packing the examination equipment and turned around to see Bai Zhi with his head down, his hand over his heart, silent as a statue. She hurriedly found a syringe and said anxiously, "I'll give you an injection!"
"...I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Bai Zhi, whose thoughts were interrupted, suddenly came back to his senses, frowned, and moved his hand from his chest to his aching temple.
"My head hurts again. I just had some strange thoughts..."
Bai Zhi pressed the bulging vein on his forehead and declined politely, "I won't use the medicine for the time being. I don't know when I can go out.
I remember that the explosion that destroyed Yi Hai seemed quite violent. I'm afraid that a lot of new space cracks have been created nearby, so it may be impossible to return by the same route.
In this case, [Anti-Corrosion Agent] becomes even more valuable.
I was too close to the explosion, and I might have been affected by the air wave. I had a slight concussion and felt a little dizzy, but it was not a erosion reaction.
Speaking of which, how is the lady I brought back now?"
"Are you talking about Elowin? She..." The team doctor's tone became low as she thought of Elowin who had calmly asked them to kill her before she turned into a corpse before she fell into a coma.
“She’s been severely corroded. Even with the [Anti-Aether Potion], I don’t know how long she can last.
Just like you said, a lot of new space rifts have been created nearby due to the explosion and changes in ether concentration.
If you want to leave, you may have to rearrange the information piles to collect empty data, and then analyze and find a new route.
All this takes time, but time is what Elowin lacks the most.
But for some reason, our temporary camp should have a high ether concentration, but the rate of growth of the Elowin erosion reaction is unexpectedly slow."
"...Slow? This shouldn't be happening!?" Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi didn't bother analyzing the cause of his inexplicable headache. He immediately got out of bed and asked while putting on his shoes, "Can you take me to see Ms. Ellowin?
Also, where is the coat she was wearing earlier?"
"That's fine. Elowin still has his coat on." The team doctor asked in confusion, "Do you have something important inside your coat? I can ask a team member to get it for you."
Although there are no physical problems found, after all, I just experienced an intense battle with Yi Hai, so it is best to rest for a while."
Bai Zhi slightly avoided the team doctor's attempt to support his hand, indicating that he could walk on his own. "No...
The clothes I gave Ms. Ellowin are actually special protective suits. Under normal circumstances, Ms. Ellowin should not continue to be eroded by the ether when wearing it.
So I wanted to see what was wrong.”
"Huh?! What kind of protective clothing is so effective?! Why have I never heard of it in the society?!" The team doctor asked in disbelief as she trotted to catch up with Bai Zhi who was walking with big strides.
You know, the Wistar Society is the most professional team that has been researching ether technology and its applications since the old capital.
Although there are countless private research institutes, most of the world's top scholars are in their societies. How is it possible that someone can research such a powerful material while the society knows nothing about it?
This is unscientific? ! !
Small Theater
Team doctor: I can't believe there's such a powerful technique, and we at Wistar have learned it but don't know anything about it!? This is unscientific!
Bai Zhi: ...No, this is "science." It's just not the "science" of this world. (Looks away)
Fu Fu: (Hands her hands on her hips) That's right! I am "Science"!!
