"You can't tell just by looking, but you can test for it."
"How do you test?"
"It's simple. Just use that dagger to nick your major artery. If you're the protagonist, you definitely won't just die like that. Someone or something will jump out to save you."
"What if nobody does?"
"Then it proves you're not the protagonist."
"But then, I'd be dead." Wang Qi's face darkened. The test method was indeed very practical, but if used, those found not to be protagonists would all be dead. He didn't fancy gambling.
"You've given up on yourself anyway; sooner or later you're going to die regardless, so why not verify it? If you prove you are the protagonist, what else are you worried about? Even suicide won't kill you. Perhaps this terminal illness might even turn into your advantage," Gu Shanhai quipped.
At this moment, Wang Qi also realized that Gu Shanhai was comforting him in a rather unconventional way. If he was really scared of death, wouldn't it be over if he just died now?
