Chapter 19 No, you're really dead?
"Earning this 300 yuan subsidy was really hard-earned..."
Half an hour later, Chen Yisen, having finished his work, stood at the entrance of the shelter and stretched his body briefly.
He could even feel the muscles all over his body screaming.
This whole day's work was more tiring than a training exercise I did in my previous life.
In fact, in general, doctors at the University of Tokyo see far more patients than their counterparts at the University of Seiji.
But in his previous life, Chen Yisen was dealing with thousands of healthy young adults in their twenties and thirties who lived regular lives and rarely got sick.
So I've never encountered a situation where I had to deal with fifty or sixty patients in a single day.
Moreover, the use of electrical impedance tomography is already quite energy-intensive and physically demanding.
Just as he was about to drive, a navy blue SUV emerged from a side road in the adjacent parking lot, but instead of accelerating, it slowly stopped a short distance in front of Chen Yisen.
The Subaru Outback is a relatively niche model, even in the United States.
The window rolled down, and Helena poked her head out of the car.
"Dr. Chen!"
Since she wasn't working, she had taken off her white lab coat and put on a Lululemon Define summer jacket, with the zipper completely open, revealing a dark blue scrub suit underneath.
The slanting sunlight shone through the windshield onto the girl, making the skin on her neck and wrists glow white.
"Murphy." Chen Yisen also stopped in his tracks.
"It'll be really congested in Manhattan at this time," Helena started with an excuse she'd already prepared. "I heard the lobster rolls in the Bronx are even more authentic than those in Maine. Want to go check it out?"
Chen Yisen knew, of course, that the other party had ulterior motives.
To be honest, he was also a little lustful towards this pretty girl's body.
If it were any other time, I definitely wouldn't mind going on a date with Helena after get off work.
Even if nothing happens, it's still worth it to get a free meal.
But now we really can't hold on any longer.
I was reborn yesterday afternoon, and my body was already in a weak state. I didn't get much rest last night, and I was busy all day today.
Even an Iron Man gets tired eventually.
"I also have online consultations tonight... I made the appointment last week, so it's not convenient to cancel."
Chen Yisen wasn't making this up.
In order to earn more money, the original owner did indeed take on a lot of online consultation orders, and the notifications kept ringing all day.
"Okay." Helena was not discouraged at all. "Then... if there are any new changes in Stacey's condition later, remember to let me know."
"Definitely." Chen Yisen could tell that this was a pretext to maintain contact with him, so he agreed.
But after thinking about it, and worried that the other person might actually go to eat on the streets of the Bronx by themselves, I advised, "If you really want to eat lobster rolls, you can go to City Island in the northeast, it's just a bit far."
"How so?" Helena asked, looking puzzled. "Is that where the food is the best?"
"No, that's the safest place..."
Helena covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be careful about that."
As she spoke, she showed Chen Yisen her phone screen.
The image above is a map showing violent crime hotspots in New York City.
It seems that no matter what kind of family the young lady comes from, as long as she's in New York, they all share the same version of Sin City...
……
After saying goodbye to Helena, Chen Yisen strolled to the parking lot and found his RAV4, following his memory from that morning.
Although both are Japanese cars, compared to the brand-new Ford Kuga we just saw, it does look a bit like an old relic.
However, the adjacent parking space on the left was occupied by an even more dilapidated MPV, with one of its headlights and grille missing, which made it seem less bad in comparison.
However, the driver's driving skills seemed to be lacking, and the MPV itself was wide, so it almost completely blocked Chen Yisen's space to get in.
He had no choice but to try turning sideways to see if he could squeeze in.
All attempts failed.
Only then did they realize that there was a person lying in the driver's seat.
Chen Yisen knocked on the side window: "Could you please move the car?"
no response.
He repeated it even louder.
Still no response.
He had no choice but to go around to the other side and try to wake the other person up from a closer position.
But as soon as I got to the front, I realized that the person's face, body shape and clothing were very familiar.
Upon closer inspection, it was Eva Atkinson, whom he had diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism that morning.
She was just wearing a hat to hide her blonde hair.
A bad feeling instantly rose in Chen Yisen's heart.
No, you're really dead?
When pulmonary embolism really strikes, it doesn't take long from the onset of symptoms to the onset of death.
Eva left the shelter around 9:30 a.m.
Under normal circumstances, she had absolutely no need to linger in this parking lot for more than eight hours.
Almost the instant the thought crossed Chen Yisen's mind, his guess was confirmed.
Because a similar option to the one I had when I saw Joey reappeared in my mind.
However, there are only two.
[Awaken: Parasite] and [Dispel: Incubation Period]
This means he is truly dead.
Although he was still unclear about the exact origin of his abilities, Chen Yisen could roughly guess some clues.
There should be a scoring mechanism operating in a black box for corpses that can establish a conscious connection with you.
In short, Eva's final rating should be lower than Joey's, so she can only be awakened as the lowest-level parasite.
"Alright... at least it contributed some performance before it died."
Chen Yisen took out his phone while thinking with a dark sense of humor.
Eva's message did not include an emergency contact person, and she also stated that she had no relatives.
Then you could first use the dispelling effect to enter a lottery, and then sell the corpse to a biological resource company.
It wasn't that he disliked the low level of the parasite; it was simply that he couldn't accept such a neither-male-nor-female creature living in his home.
Even if it can be completely controlled.
More importantly, such grueling activities as pump parties are by no means common even in the United States; otherwise, the original owner would not have been completely unaware of them.
For bioresource companies, the rarer the case and the more bizarre the cause of death, the more valuable the body becomes.
So if we sell Eva, the price might be higher than we initially valued Joey...
……
But just as the lottery was about to begin, Chen Yisen hesitated again.
Selling Eva would certainly allow him to have a good meal.
But if we wake Eva up, it seems like we could have a chance to have a full meal every day—
It's impossible that only one person among the participants of that pump party got a pulmonary embolism.
In fact, considering the similarities in age, lifestyle, and the nature of the foreign objects in their bodies, they are highly likely to experience infarction within a similar timeframe.
Furthermore, most of them are on the margins of society, with no relatives or no contact with their relatives.
This is a treasure trove!
They were all these legendary golden corpses.
Moreover, even if they fail, they can still choose to drive away Eva and then sell her body.
At most, they'll sell a little less because it's not fresh enough.
Chen Yisen was tempted.
As for accommodation...
He turned to look at the shelter behind him.
It doesn't seem like they necessarily have to bring it back to their own home?
……
After a fierce internal struggle, Chen Yisen decided to take the gamble.
[Awakening: Parasite]
Similar to the last time Joey was awakened, Eva slowly opened her eyes inside the car, and at the same time, a connection of consciousness was established.
[Humanity Anchor Point: 40 (100)]
[Control capacity: 1 (3)]
A flood of fragmented memories rushed into Chen Yisen's mind, most of which were crazy content about gender swapping and pump parties, giving him goosebumps.
In summary, it seems that the completeness of the memories obtained is also related to the "level" of the deceased.
Joey can even be awakened as the highest level of Imprint, so his memories are relatively complete and coherent, only completely missing in the last period when he may have lost consciousness.
The two little black girls from last night, and Eva from today, have retained relatively limited memories.
Fortunately, the personal information was still complete.
Eva Atkinson, whose real name is Evan Atkinson, underwent surgery two years ago to become a transgender woman, but due to a lack of follow-up care, she is almost unable to establish herself normally in society.
Lacking identity, having a mysterious gender, or lacking sufficient education... these are not major problems.
However, without maintaining a decent appearance, it is absolutely impossible to find a job.
Just when she was at her wit's end, she met a "transgender opinion leader" named Rita King on Onlyfans and subsequently attended a pump party organized by her.
Before her first visit, the other party assured her that a "new type of high-toughness prosthesis" in an experimental state was being used, so Eva accepted the injection with peace of mind.
Chen Yisen already knew what happened next.
However, unlike Eva's previous description, she actually injected silicone oil and so-called "AB agent" into at least four people.
And her last wish was naturally:
[Taking revenge on the organizers of the pump party]
