C22 (1/2)

Beep, beep, beep...

A faint sound entered my ears. I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were too heavy. I struggled for a long time before finally being able to open my eyes. My whole body was weak. I really wanted to get a good night's sleep, but my back felt unbearably itchy when I woke up. I wanted to roll over and grab him, but I didn't have the strength to do so.

After a while, my vision began to clear up and the snow-white roof came into view. The next moment, a faint smell of disinfectant wafted into his nostrils. I gently turned my head and saw that the electrocardiograph was right beside me. I heaved a long sigh of relief. It seemed that I wasn't killed by the explosion.

He pressed the beeper on his fingertip, and soon, a sweet-looking nurse walked in. When she saw me yell ”Ah!” she turned around and ran out.

I was stunned, but after a moment I saw the door to the ward open again. A bespectacled male doctor led a group of white coats to my bedside.

The nurse helped me to my feet, and the male doctor looked into my eyes and then asked the nurse to turn me over. They undid the gauze on my back. Immediately after, an ice-cold feeling emanated from his back, and a faint pain could be felt. At that time, I was sweating cold sweat and suddenly thought of Liu Yuling.

”You recovered very well!” When the doctor had finished his examination, he said to me, ”In a week, I'll be able to go home and rest.”

I asked, ”Doctor, how long have I been in the hospital?”

I asked because I had had a long lucid dream. In my dream, I found myself deep in an extremely dark space. A mirror appeared in front of me, carved with countless symbols. Every time I walk to the front of the mirror, the center of the mirror will transform into a face without features. Every time I look at the mirror, I would see a face without features.

The doctor said, ”You've been in a coma for ten days. However, don't worry. Although the wound on your back is a bit severe, it will be fine after you recuperate for a period of time. It's just that … In the future, I will try my best not to be bare-chested. ”

I thought, it looks like it's not a light injury. But I'm not sad. I'm proud. Which one of you is not wounded? It's all honor. Thinking about the wound on my back, I naturally thought of Liao Mengfann as well. I asked the nurse to help me get out of bed, leaned against the quilt, and picked up the phone.

”She doesn't know if she's hurt?” I thought about it and dialed. Then I heard the ringing of a telephone outside the door, and then the door to the ward opened.

I saw Liao Mengfann walk into the sickroom with a bunch of bright lilies. She placed the flowers on the bedside of my bed, smiled at me, and said, ”You're awake?”

”En!” I nodded. ”With your blessings, I finally managed to get a good night's sleep.”

”Pu ci!” I saw that she covered her mouth as she laughed. She walked to the window and pulled open all of the curtains, then turned around and said to me, ”Chief Lu and Professor Liang are going to head back first. I also took a break, so I came to visit you when I had nothing else to do.”

I threw my phone at the head of the bed and asked, ”Has the case been resolved?” How many people have been captured? ”

Liao Mengfann hugged her shoulders, sighed, and said: ”I only caught Lee Shan and Liu Lee, but they committed suicide.”

”Huh?” Shocked, I asked, ”Why did you still commit suicide?” Where did you kill yourself? ”

Liao Mengfann said: ”Liu Lee committed suicide when the special forces were surrounding him, and Lee Shan bit the poison in his mouth after finishing the interrogation.”

”Poison in your mouth?” I was shocked. What kind of people were these? Why is it like a secret service agent? I asked Liao Mengfann, what did I find out from her mouth. She said she only knew that the organization was known as the ”Spirit Realm,” and that they all believed in a ”person” called the ”Ancestor.”

However, Lee Shan had never seen its true face. She and Zhang Liang were specifically responsible for peeling human skin to make God's Water. The God's Water was created through an unknown powder and human skin fusion, and then was boiled in a huge pot, and then was placed in a dark place and fermented for forty-nine days before it could be used.

I asked, ”Have you checked the ingredients of the unknown drug?”

”No!” Liao Mengfann said: ”That medicine was given to them by Cui Hongliang in the proper amount. They never had any extra in their hands.”

Liao Mengfann continued: ”Originally, we wanted to go to Cui Hongliang's house to search, but before we came, his villa was blown up and nothing was left.”

I became a little anxious and asked, ”Then does his house have the same computer as Liu Yuling's? What about that website? Have you checked? ”

”Do you think I'm an idiot?” Liao Mengfann sat beside me and peeled an orange for me, then handed it to me and said: ”His IP address has been permanently deleted, there isn't even a single backup.”

”Sigh!” I sighed. It was all my fault that they were rushing to the same place, so I didn't immediately go and check Cui Hongliang's computer.

After eating one tangerine, his body's strength had also increased by a lot. I suddenly remembered that when I went to save Liao Mengfann, I discovered that she had already died. I asked her, did she beat Zhang Liang to death? She said that when Zhang Liang tried to attack her, he was the one who had thrown the cold spear behind her back and killed her.

Surprised, I asked, ”Why did she save you?”

”She wants to atone for her sins!” Liao Mengfann said: ”She very much regrets joining this organization. Zhang Liang was no longer the same person from before. He killed without blinking, liked to destroy, torture, and skin people alive. Under Cui Hongliang's enticement, he had completely become a madman. She can't let this madman live any longer. ”

”Madman?” I helplessly smiled and asked, ”When they kill someone, won't they be afraid?”
