Chapter 138:

After giving himself a bath, Roman wiped himself off and fell asleep on the bed. I didn't have any weird dreams, and I didn't see Mr. Big Light Ball that I always wanted to see, but a very ordinary sleep.

When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, which was still very early because it had not been more than eight hours since Roman fell asleep.

But reversing the biological clock is a painful time, and even if he sleeps longer than he usually sleeps at night, Roman still feels very tired.

The hospital can no longer go back, because Roman doesn't need to be on night shift today, and has no plans to go back to be recruited. I didn't eat lunch, so it's better to eat something now. As for meals, the big deal is to have a late night snack.

He originally had this plan, but who knew that he received a call just after walking out the door. It was the landline number of the hospital.

"Hey, this is Romani... At this time, I will call in a puzzled manner. It seems that you are the only one in Netherland."

"Is this still a guess? Just look at the phone number, or you simply didn't write down my phone number here."

There was a very angry voice on the phone. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, no one could believe that the owner of the voice was an old man over seventy years old. Not only in good health, but also in good spirits. You don't need to wear glasses for surgery, you can stay up all night to go to work all day and night, and you can even beat the family members of the troubled patients to their knees.

Where is this monster from? Fortunately, from the bald top of his head and the gray hair on both sides, it can be determined that this old man is really human.

"So? What's the reason for calling me at this time? Is it because of my conscience that I plan to take a vacation? Or do I finally understand the needs of a young man and plan to give me a raise?"

"Come to my office right now, here's a document that you need to sign in person."

Well, he knew nothing like this would happen. Fortunately, he hadn't traveled far, otherwise he wouldn't even think about it.

but--

"Can't you do it tomorrow? It's almost time to get off work now, and you want me to rush back to the hospital."

"This is impossible. The family members of the patient need to take away the body of the deceased. You should come over quickly."

Well, it was indeed his fault. After the failure of the operation, it is not that there is nothing left. As the chief surgeon, Roman, no matter whether the operation is a success or a failure, there are still a lot of hands and tails to be completed. It's just that this operation is Roman's first failure, so he will be hit to some extent. Coupled with the problem of staying up late, he will miss some work.

"I'll be there soon."

Fortunately, I haven't gone out yet, otherwise I would have to run.

Without much hesitation, Roman walked in the direction of the hospital. He had already walked out of the door, so he soon came to the office of Soul Chasing in the Netherland.

Netherworld Chasing Soul is an old man of about seventy years old, but he is in high spirits, and it is difficult to see in him a trace of twilight that an old man should have. In fact, if you just look at the face, you are probably only fifty years old, but it is said that the ghost hunter has already worked here when Academy City was established, and Academy City has been established for more than fifty years, so The old man's age is full of mystery.

"It's so fast. Could it be that I just caught up with you when you were about to go out? If that's the case, my luck is a little bit better."

His voice is very gentle, and even the most irritable person will be quiet because of his tone, which is probably a habit developed in his decades of career.

This kind of person is either a teacher or a doctor, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

"It's probably my misfortune. Thanks to you, I didn't even eat lunch. Maybe I'll have to wait until supper time."

"It's not tedious work, it's just for you to sign."

Well, it's almost time to get off work, Netherland Chasing Soul is not a capitalist, and will not force Roman down.

He took out a document from the drawer, which Roman took over. It was a report on the patient last night.

"The injured person fell from the stairs of the eleventh floor due to a stroke, with a broken skull, massive internal bleeding, a comminuted fracture of the left knee, and a minor heart attack. He was sent here from the twenty-third area, if not for an emergency. It's also a question of whether the treatment can last here. Seriously, let's not talk about saving him, it's amazing that you can continue his life until this morning. As people get older, the problems will get worse. The more you come, the more you can’t stand the toss.”

"What is this? A new way of comforting? It doesn't seem quite your style, shouldn't you say 'do your best to save every patient'?"

"That's right, but you've done your best, haven't you? Was it your fault that he died?"

"I don't carry this pot. I still feel like I can't get my spirits up."

After signing the document, Roman returned the document to Netherland Chase Soul, and the matter was over.

As Netherland Chase said, this is no longer Roman's responsibility. He has tried his best to rescue the wounded, and he has done what a doctor should do. In the end, he still failed to bring the wounded to life. He can only say God's will. in this way.

In fact, Roman felt that if the person who performed the operation at that time was a ghost hunter from the underworld, maybe the old man could survive. But this assumption is meaningless. If there are so many ifs, the world will actually be a lot worse, not as good as everyone imagines. At that time, the Netherworld Chasing Soul was performing an operation on another cerebral infarction patient, and it was almost completed in the morning. It was impossible to exchange the operation with Roman-Is the professional ethics of a doctor still necessary?

In fact, there will be another way, that is, Roman uses supernatural power to save the wounded, and uses the technique of returning to the sky to revive the dying old man. But this choice has never been within Roman's choice, because this kind of behavior that violates the law should not be used. Otherwise, Roman can use legal spells at any time, so that more people can live better lives. go down.

You won't be knocked down by minor ailments, you won't get germs, you'll recover quickly even if you're injured, but what are the consequences of doing so? The natural mortality rate of human beings has decreased, while the natural birth rate has increased, eventually leading to more and more human beings surviving on the earth, and the consumption of resources is increasing, and because modern technology cannot support human beings to go out of the earth and live in outer space, In the end, the earth is constantly being destroyed, the lifespan of the earth is accelerated, and the demise of mankind has entered a countdown.

So this is no longer a question of whether Roman wants to do it or not. Even if Roman wants to do it, he must restrain himself.

Of course, things are not dead-on. If one day Xiaozi appears in front of Roman on the verge of dying, maybe Roman would have already started before saying "Father, save me".

Earth destroyed? Who cares about it? Gaia sauce, you'd better be sensible, don't stop me from saving my daughter here. perhaps.

"This little thing can't knock me down. Life, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. If the operation fails, the operation fails. Can I still find a way to bring me back to life?"

To be honest, there really is. The difficulty of bringing the dead back to life is actually not that high. It would be better to say that in a miracle, the level of resurrecting from the dead is actually very low.

"It's good if you can adjust your mentality. Since you have been on your own, you have never failed. I have always been worried that you will not be able to adjust your mentality. It would be a pity if you collapsed because of an operation."

After hearing Roman's words, Netherland Soul Chaser couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He has been worried since he heard that Roman's surgery failed at noon today, especially after finding out that Roman forgot to sign the document, he can understand Roman's psychological changes better. Roman did not have any shadows caused by the failure of the operation, and he finally let go of his worries.

In his decades-long career, Roman is the best seedling he has ever seen. Not only does he study hard, but he also has a very keen intuition. Can judge and act very decisively when it comes to problems. And now Roman is only in his early twenties, and his life has only just begun, and his future achievements are not something that can be seen in the pursuit of souls in the underworld.

Therefore, Netherland Chasing Soul has always regarded Roman as his own direct disciple, and constantly taught Roman his medical skills and professional experience. He hoped that Roman can go further on the path of medical science while inheriting his mantle.

But if Netherland's Soul Chaser knew that Roman's achievements were largely dependent on his own eyes, what would he think? Probably happier, because those eyes can make Roman Reigns take fewer detours on this road. Although there is a suspicion of cheating, observation is observation, and medical skills will not be greatly affected by these eyes, but only reduce the steps and make the conclusion more convenient.

Netherland Chasing Soul is a very good doctor and a very good elder.

241 Chapter 3 Female Friends

"Since you have no problem, remember to come back to work tomorrow and work hard."

"For the poor sake of my failed surgery, why not give me two days off?"

"I didn't even think about it." Without hesitation, the Netherland Soul Chaser rejected Roman's request for a vacation, "Now it's the patient who has failed the operation, aren't you here? Since you failed, just give me a good effort. Don't make excuses for me to be lazy."

"Who's been lazy? I've been working 28 consecutive days this month, and today is the 28th! Anyway, take care of my hard-working employees. Are you really planning to let me die suddenly on the operating table? "

"It's like you're great. Last year, I didn't work 365 days all year round, and I never heard of anyone complaining to me? Besides, isn't it just a shortage of manpower now? At least it should be Let's take a vacation when there is enough manpower, now everyone is busy enough, and many people have not rested for a long time like you."

"Tsk, fantasy master?"

Roman showed a displeased expression. He knew that his leave application was in vain, and at the same time, he could not help but feel resentment towards "Fantasy Master".

This is an urban legend that began to circulate some time ago. It is said that people who get the fantasy master can improve their ability level. The incapacitated will get the ability after getting the fantasy master, and the low-level ability will increase their ability level.

Academy City is a city centered on the development of superpowers, where superpowers are everything. In other words, those who have developed the ability are superior to others, while those who have not developed the ability will be ignored or even despised, which is a place with a very serious hierarchy.

In fact, this is the same as the division of students' grades. Xueba will despise the scumbags, teachers will ignore the scumbags, and the scumbags will start to abandon themselves as bad students after they fail to pass no matter how hard they try. Students who pass the exam will also be graded, some are just passing, some are excellent students, and some are students who easily get full marks. However, unlike ordinary academic performance, the development of superpowers is very cruel. Some students cannot develop their abilities no matter how hard they try, as if they were born to be inferior to others. In this case, it is easy for their mentality to be distorted. stand up.

The people who develop superpowers are still young students, and they are still children whose three views are not mature, and their psychology is easily distorted. Expansion out of control.

Wantonly use superpowers to declare their presence, take revenge on those who have bullied them, and even vandalize for no reason. For a time, the spread of the fantasy master made the Academy City chaotic, and the contradictions in the potential Academy City broke out completely. Also for this reason, recently, more and more injuries due to Fantasy Master's hand have been caused, resulting in the current situation where the hospital is unable to open its hands. In fact, something even worse happened. The person who used the fantasy hand actually fell into a coma. The existing methods could not wake up the comatose student, and even the ghost chaser felt helpless for a while.

Although he found out the reason for the student's coma, in a short period of time, it was too late to study the treatment method, because he did not have the spare time.

To make Roman leave the patient on vacation, he can't do such a thing.

"It's okay if you want me to continue to work. Give me a raise. I feel like I have done all the operations in the hospital. If I don't give me some benefits, I'm afraid my mentality will explode."

Netherland Chasing Soul suddenly became more serious.

"Roman, how long have you been here?"

"Me? It's been two years and seven months."

"Two years and seven months. Your salary has already increased since you became the chief surgeon a year ago, but have you ever thought about it, I haven't had a salary increase for more than ten years, and there are several professors who have not received a salary increase for several years. Salary, but they never complained, are you too embarrassed to ask me to give you a raise?"

"Enough is enough! I just work, don't keep preaching like this, okay? Why do you feel like a primary school student, where did you come from as a junior high school teacher?"

The story of chasing the soul in the underworld changed.

"Don't worry, I'm also a reasonable person. Although I can't give you a raise, this month's bonus is still available."

Okay, no vacations, no pay rises, but at least there's a bonus, a consolation prize.

However, Roman's need for money is not great. Since he became an official doctor, he has no chance to continue playing the game that can't be played without money, and Xiao Zi has gone out independently, so there are even fewer opportunities to spend money. Plus, the doctor's salary is already very high, and Roman has no deposit in the bank. Therefore, Roman prefers to get a vacation compared to a bonus salary increase, but now it seems that the vacation becomes a long way off until the problem of the fantasy master is solved.

So, the bonus is not even a consolation prize for Roman.

"If nothing else, I'll be here now."

"Go back and have a good rest, and remember to come to work tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'm not planning to skip work."

Roman shook his head and walked towards the door, only to realize when he reached the door.

"Don't you always get dividends? Why do you want a raise?"

"You talk too much."

...

...

Obviously, Roman was plotted by Netherland's soul-chasing. This old man with big eyebrows, big eyes, benevolent eyes, and kind-hearted eyebrows is scheming and has a bad conscience. However, Roman is not angry about this, because as mentioned earlier, Roman does not have much pursuit of money. If he really wants money, who can stop him?

On the contrary, the old man's money bag has never been rich. Although he gets a lot of money from the hospital every year, he will spend the money on medical research in a blink of an eye, so the equipment in this hospital has always been The most advanced, and Netherland's soul-chasing medical skills only progressed with the backing of a large sum of money. Scientific research is something that is burned with money. Without money, it is impossible to do anything. If you want to save people, you need not only to spend money on the patient, but also the cost of the hospital has never been reduced.

It's better to do good deeds. It's better to give money to the underworld to chase souls than to put it into a charity organization. After all, the former really spends money on saving people.

When he came out of the hospital, it was almost six o'clock. It was dinner time, and Roman's stomach was already growling.

This time, he didn't plan to solve his own meal problem casually. Now it's finally time for a break. Thinking that he hasn't had a vacation this month, and I don't know when the next vacation will be. Roman decided to enjoy it. , or you will lose your bank account.

If you want to eat good food, you can finally go to the fourth school district. There are almost 90% of the restaurants in Academy City, and food from more than 100 countries in the world can be found here. In addition, there are many external facilities in the third school district, there are several international exhibition halls, and the hotel grades are among the best in Academy City. However, it was a high-level meal for external use. Not everyone in Academy City could afford it, but it lacked the atmosphere.

It's already miserable enough, and going to such a deserted place will give people the feeling of an old man. Without her daughter by her side, and whether she has an "old" companion, it's really hard to be a lonely old man. He's only in his early twenties, okay?

Living alone, eating alone, shopping alone, watching movies alone, performing surgery alone... Well, the last one can be crossed out. After all, Roman is the one who performed the surgery, and there are other people in the operating room who stopped. All in all, if you want to talk about the degree of singleness, Roman's singleness value has reached an extremely terrible height. Don't talk about girlfriends, Roman doesn't seem to be able to find many sexual friends, whether it is this world or the previous world, Roman's situation seems to be like this. However, in the last world, he still had his daughter by his side, a few lovely students, a Lancelot who was elusive, and a helpful young lady during college.

It seems that it is not bad now. The young lady in the hospital has a good attitude towards him, but there are not many close personal friends.

So is it time to find a girlfriend?

The seventh school district is mainly a gathering place for schools, many famous middle and high schools are here, and various medical institutions are also here. It was time for the students to leave the school, so there were more people on the road, and Roman could see students in various uniforms.

He stood by the station, waiting for the tram to appear. The seventh school district and the fourth school district are separated from the first school district, so Roman could not have walked there on foot, otherwise, when he got there, he would probably have a late night snack.

When the tram came, Roman couldn't see the driver. Academy City is a city with the theme of developing superpowers. The technology here is far beyond the outside world, and it is said to be ahead of the outside world by 20 to 30 years. Just like the tram you see now, it's an automatic tram that doesn't require a driver, it travels along a fixed route and stops at a stop along the way. It sounds like nothing special, but what if you were told that it would automatically stop when it encounters a pedestrian, a vehicle, or a red light? Even if it knows that there is a situation on that road and it is impossible to pass, it will automatically adjust to find a new route, so if you look at it, it will be very powerful, right?

However, Roman felt that such a high-tech tram could never be used properly even if it was placed outside. After all, it was different from the environment of Academy City.

"Hey, isn't this Roman? Come over here."

When Roman got on the tram, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

The voice came from the seat behind the tram, and it sounded like a mature woman.

"It's Huang Quanchuan."

Sitting in the last seat of the tram was a black-haired woman. She was wearing a green tracksuit and looked listless, feeling like she was exhausted.

Beside her, there was also a woman with short black hair, looking weak and bullying, and seemed unreliable.

On the other side is a junior high school student who looks only twelve years old, with short cherry-colored hair and wearing a small pink skirt.

"Good afternoon, Iron Suit, Yueyong, what a coincidence today."

"Good afternoon, Doctor Roman." "Good afternoon, Senior Roman."

The three of them are actually teachers in a school, and they are also very close friends, so if you see them at ordinary times, the three of them will always stay together.

The girl with short cherry-colored hair is not a girl, and the reason why she is a teacher is not because she is a super genius. Her name is Yueyong Xiaomeng, even though she is only twelve years old, and her height is only 135cm, in fact, she is already an adult, and she can still buy tobacco and alcohol. In other words, she is actually a legal loli.

In addition to being teachers, the other two were also security guards in Academy City, similar to the police in the outside world. Although Academy City is a city, it actually has a very special status in Japan. It is a place where the resources of various countries are gathered, and it is just a Japan that is not qualified to manage it. Although it is a city within a city, it also has the feeling of a small country with exclusive autonomy.

The black-haired woman in green sportswear is named Huang Quanchuan Aisui and is Roman's friend. The woman with short black hair next to her is called Tie Zuzuri, the junior of Huang Quanchuan Aisui. Because Roman and Huang Quanchuan Aisui are friends, Tie Zhuang will also add the honorific of the senior after Roman's name.

Roman walked over and sat next to them.

"Have you finished get off work today? Where are you going?"

"Me? I'm going to have something to eat, but I suddenly realize that I've been here all the time, so I want to go to the fourth school district for a walk."

"That's a coincidence, we are also planning to go to the fourth school district, do you want to be together?"

"It's not impossible to go, but let's talk about it first. First, I won't treat guests, and second, I won't drink."

"You're so boring, such a big man still hasn't learned to drink. And now he still accompanies women to dinner, isn't it a very fulfilling thing to dig out the wallet to treat guests?"

No, not at all.

The former Roman was also very stupid to treat guests with a gentleman's demeanor, and was ready to pay before the four of them walked together, but he still underestimated the lethality of these three women. Whether it is Yueyong Xiaomeng or Huang Quanchuan Aisui, they are both super alcoholics, and there is no end to them. Although she is a very reserved woman, Huang Quanchuan Aisui ordered a lot of expensive but not enough food on the grounds of "it's rare to have a big treat, why don't you have a good meal" , that time almost crossed off half a month of Roman's salary.

From that time on, Roman stayed away from treats. Even if you treat a guest, you have to wait until the checkout time, look at the bill and then think about it slowly.
