My mind was in a state of delirium , I felt like I was going to suffocate. This was definitely Livor Mortis!
Leaning my back against the wall, I sat down and stared blankly as I clutched my head with my hands.
What was happening, what was exactly wrong with me? I was obviously alive, so why would I have Livor Mortis? Didn’t this meant that my body was slowly rotting away? This&h.e.l.lip;this was definitely impossible, was this all a dream?
“Pa!”
I slapped my cheeks hard.
It was painful, very painful. This was not a dream.
I didn’t dare to close my eyes. The moment my eyes were closed, my mind was flooded with images of livor mortis. Yet, if I opened my eyes, I would see those ugly blotches that would definitely be a frightening sight for others, and my heart froze. My whole body felt like it was about to collapse and break down.
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
“Lu Chen, Lu Chen! Are you okay?”
After a while, Du s.h.i.+ San knocked on the door and barged in. Seeing me sitting in the corner staring vacantly into s.p.a.ce, he worriedly asked, “What happened?”
I didn’t try to hide anything from him. With a sinking heart I raised my arms and replied, “s.h.i.+ San, I’m afraid that I’m already&h.e.l.lip;dead!”
“What?!”
s.h.i.+ San opened his eyes wide as he grabbed my arms and said with a trembling voice, “Lu Chen, don’t scare me, brother. You&h.e.l.lip;What exactly happened to you, how did you end up in such a state? You&h.e.l.lip;surely you are just sick&h.e.l.lip;”
s.h.i.+ San almost cried out as he saw the rotting flesh on my body. He gritted his teeth as his eyes turned blood-red, “f.u.c.k, how could this have happened&h.e.l.lip;”
I looked helplessly towards the ceiling as I told him the whole story, about being buried alive a few days ago.
After hearing the story, Du s.h.i.+ San didn’t utter any words and immediately turned around. Then, he came back again with a syringe on his hands. He looked at me directly and said, “Brother, I won’t let you die!”
Saying that, he took out some of my blood sample and said, “I forgot to tell you that my dad is a specialist at a Biological Research Inst.i.tute. I’m going to take your blood sample to Nanjing for a laboratory test. Rest a.s.sured that nothing wrong would happen. I will be back by tonight&h.e.l.lip;”
I nodded and replied disappointedly, “Thanks&h.e.l.lip;but I think I remember you saying that your dad was a banker when you were pursuing Tan Xue before&h.e.l.lip;”
“What the heck, why would you remember such useless stuff? Remember, wait for me to come back!”
Du s.h.i.+ San charged out of the door, but turned around as he warned me again, “Lu Chen, you definitely cannot die. If you really die, I will be very lonely!”
Then, Du s.h.i.+ San ran out of the door.
The morning sky was still dark. Such a lazy brat like him had actually got on his car to drive to Nanjing for me, this useless friend.
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
I went up to a small building’s rooftop and saw that the sky was a little overcast. I looked up to the sky as countless memories resurfaced in my mind, scene by scene.
I slowly slumped to the ground. I gradually calmed my panicked heart as I lay down on the floor. After a long thought, I realized that I didn’t unlock the Undead Swordsman Profession in the game by chance. My body was indeed having problems. Strictly speaking, I might already be dead. At the moment I was buried underground, I could already have been dead. All because of one woman –
He Yi.
I never regretted anything. I clutched a book covered in blue in my right hand, t.i.tled “Encouraging Studies”.
This was He Yi’s present for my birthday that was mailed to me. She said this book was really effective in encouraging others. When her team had failed to kill a BOSS monster and was annihilated, she used this book to encourage and improve her team’s morale.
My mouth curved involuntarily; I couldn’t help but smile faintly.
A montage of a beautiful mountain range, tall gra.s.ses and birds flying in the gentle, cool breeze surfaced in my mind. He Yi was picking some herbs while I was following behind her, staring blankly at her beautiful silhouette . He Yi was a very independent woman. When she set her mind on a direction, she would resolutely head forward in that direction without the slightest doubt. Others were impressed with this aspect of her. At the same time, He Yi was also a woman full of charm and charisma. She not only possessed a beautiful face and body that could bring down a nation, she had the courage and wisdom to crush those who opposed her. Otherwise, how could a fragile beauty like her become GGS Asia Vice Chairman?
Slowly closing my eyes, I chuckled a little. If I could die just like that, I would go in peace.
“Papapa&h.e.l.lip;”
It started raining. Droplets of water from the drizzle fell on my face, so gentle and nice.
Amazingly, I had actually fallen asleep until a hot blazing kind of pain racking my whole body awoke me from my slumber.
“Ah&h.e.l.lip;”
Letting out a deep breath, I suddenly sat up and saw an amazing scene right in front of my eyes.
The rain had stopped and the sun was s.h.i.+ning down on my body. Those frightening looking blotches seemed to sizzle and evaporate like water, disappearing into thin air. Instead, it was replaced by an agonizing pain, as if my whole body had been thrust into an oven. Such a painful burning sensation was indeed too much for anyone to endure!
I held my fist tight as I saw my black spots disappearing under the sun. There was only one word that could ill.u.s.trate my feelings right now, a ‘m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t’.
Not even ten minutes afterwards, the livor mortis had completely disappeared. My skin regained its previous tone and l.u.s.tre. It was white and spotless, like it was brand new. Those painful sensations had also gone completely, just like a weird disease that had been cured by sunlight.
“Pata pata &h.e.l.lip;”
Rushed steps were heard outside. Du s.h.i.+ San had returned.
I stood up and came down from the rooftop, b.u.mping right into Du s.h.i.+ San. He held a small piece of paper in his hands, his face br.i.m.m.i.n.g with happiness and smiles, “Lu Chen, the result is out!”
“What’s the situation?” I s.n.a.t.c.hed the paper away from his hands, but realized that everything was in English. I didn’t understand anything at all.
s.h.i.+ San breathed heavily and replied, “Methamphetamine, your blood was contaminated with a rare type of Methamphetamine poison. It could also be called a virus. The Research team has a.n.a.lyzed the result. This kind of virus has never been seen before but it’s effects were unimaginable. It actually had the ability to revive any cells that was already dead!”
“What?!” I was stunned beyond belief.
Du s.h.i.+ San nodded, “This was the reason livor mortis appeared on your body. The virus was so strong that it was regenerating your cells faster than the rate of of your cells dying. However, too fast a pace is also not good, because it increases your body’s metabolism. However, my dad and his team have already resolved this problematic property of the virus in this short amount of time. I already know a way to inhibit the virus’ growth.”
“What way?” I asked.
