"Drip~Drip~"

The sound on the ECG monitor rang at a constant speed, and Lu Yuan knew that this sound represented a heartbeat.

The girl on the bed closed her eyes quietly, and the noon sunlight shone in from outside the window, carefully melting on her face.

Very warm and quiet.

The girl is just 16 years old this year and is at an age that can be described as "beautiful". Her body under the hospital gown is obviously thin. It may be because she has never been exposed to the wind and dust outside. Her skin is more delicate than that of ordinary 16-year-old girls. Her hair is very long and naturally scattered on both sides of her cheeks.

This is a condensing, but clearly visible beauty.

However, this girl never really existed.

Since Dr. Chen took over this patient named "Lu Li" a few years ago, however, judging from the medical records, this girl is a congenital patient with cerebral cortexual loss.

In other words, she has not had any thoughts since her birth.

A congenital vegetable has no character, no thoughts, just a body that grows with the years and a name.

With a body, Lu Li and Lu Yuan’s only relative in this world.

However, Lu Yuan seemed to have no desire to have any connection with this "sister", so he has never paid attention to the calls from the hospital over the years.

This is a kind of indifference, a kind of family affection that is ignored. It seems that Lu Yuan, in the past, not only had a decadent personality that was unwilling to contact society, but also had a cold heart that was unwilling to worry about family affection.

So in this hospital, Lu Yuan's name will always be rolled and contempt, which is understandable.

"For the past few years, Lu Li has been in this ward. She has a medical expense that can maintain her most basic care." Dr. Chen stood beside Lu Yuan and said.

"Who paid the medical expenses?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I don't know." Dr. Chen said: "When I took over this patient, the medical expenses were already in her name. However, the expenses were almost used up and it would be used up in less than a week."

Lu Yuan looked at the quiet girl on the bed: "If you use up all, will she die?"

"From a certain perspective, she has never lived." Dr. Chen said helplessly: "But if you haven't come after the expenses are used up, then according to the law, our hospital will stop maintaining life, so we started contacting you a few years in advance, but you never paid attention to us."

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Li and hesitated for a moment: "Then I'm here now, what do I need to do?"

Dr. Chen turned around: "Of course, as Lu Li's only guardian, you must decide some things, such as whether to continue paying money, or you can sign and stop all care directly."

"Sign up?" Lu Yuan asked in confusion: "What do you mean is that as long as I write down my name, can I kill her?"

"This" Dr. Chen was stunned when asked this, because no family member would ask questions like this.

"How do I answer this way of asking?" Dr. Chen said embarrassedly: "But I said that Lu Li never lived without a soul."

"If only a body and no soul, isn't it considered alive?" Lu Yuan murmured: "Then, if only a soul and no body, isn't it not considered alive?"

Dr. Chen twisted his body uncomfortable. He didn't know why Lu Yuan always asked such strange questions.

"I said that this family member is not a philosopher, I am just a little doctor. I don't know about the issues of the soul and body." Dr. Chen said: "But I know how difficult it is for a vegetative person like you who have a deceased parents, so if you want to stop care, we can sign now."

Indeed, what Dr. Chen talked about is the most practical problem, and at the same time, only 90% of family members will choose a path.

However

"No." Lu Yuan suddenly said: "I want to continue to maintain it."

"Oh, okay, then signing needs to be first? Hey? What did you say!" Dr. Chen was shocked.

"I said, I want to continue to maintain it." Lu Yuan said.

"But" Dr. Chen even thought he had heard it wrong: "But if you continue to maintain it, you need to pay a lot of money."

"I still have some money." Lu Yuan said lightly.

In the ward, the monitor was still ringing rhythmically, and the sunlight shone the girl's hair on the bed, making it golden. Dr. Chen looked at the boy in front of him in a daze. He found that he could not see through him.

Even Lu Yuan himself couldn't see through himself

A few hours later, Lu Yuan left the hospital.

Just now, he paid almost all the money in his mobile phone to care fees, leaving only a small amount.

In fact, he didn't know why he did this, but he just felt that Dr. Chen's words "No soul, only body" touched him a little. Lu Yuan felt that the girl lying on the bed seemed to be very similar to him.

Although I can act and not lie in bed every day, I am as lonely as her.

What is life?

What is the soul?

Lu Yuan just got into a taxi in such a daze, and then returned to his neighborhood.

When the afterglow of the setting sun pierced into his eyes, he finally recovered from his trance and found that he had already stood on the path that he had come out in the middle of the night last time.

At this time, it was the peak period for get off work, and the streets were bustling and bustling.

"Uh, I'm a little hungry." Lu Yuan looked helpless and looked decadent again: "It's really annoying to have a body, I have to eat."

While murmuring, Lu Yuan also turned around and walked towards a supermarket.

He can be regarded as a serious pauper now, so it is definitely impossible to go to a restaurant every time. He can only stock up on some instant noodles so that he can live for a few more days.

Someone here is asking, since Lu Yuan has no job and stays at home all day, where does his money come from?

Actually, this is very interesting. Since he plays games every day, the money is naturally from the game.

As mentioned before, in this era, there are many people who rely on [Ark] to live. As long as the game with trading functions is a bit more or less involved in some real-world money transactions.

Therefore, a dead house like Lu Yuan, who works for local tycoons every day and earns gold coins, can be considered a little income. If you even know the S scoring conditions of a high-end copy, you can even make some money by selling it to a large game company.

After talking about these skills, Lu Yuan walked into the supermarket gate in front of him.

Then

Looking at the woman who was holding a cigarette in front of her, and was even more decadent than herself.

For a moment, the two of them stared at each other
