Chapter 66 Preparation
The first thing that caught Sheng Yao's eyes was the only light in the room - the projection screen that occupied a wall.
Even if there are too many light sources in this dark space, Sheng Yao still cannot tell the size of this space.
He quickly gave up this useless work and turned his gaze to the opposite side of the projection screen.
The doctor sat on the comfortable couch, raised his feet and relaxed his posture, which was very different from the way he looked in the clinic. He glanced at Sheng Yao, then withdrew his gaze and continued to watch the video on the projection screen.
"Doctor, I want to ask for some questions." Sheng Yao's tone was sincere and respectful. "I want to ask what the tube of medicine you injected us? What is its effect and what side effects do it have? How should we deal with the side effects after the side effects occur?"
Sheng Yao’s problem was interrupted by a silver bell-like laughter.
He subconsciously glanced at the projection screen.
On the screen, you can see a small piece of young girl with bright smiles on the back of her head and a bag of flowers on her face. There were beautiful desserts on the table. The young girl smiled while scooping cakes.
Sheng Yao doesn't know this girl. He hasn't watched TV series seriously for many years, let alone such beautiful idol dramas. He was a little surprised that the doctor would like to watch TV series.
Sheng Yao looked at the doctor again and met the doctor's dark blue eyes.
"I have done all the treatments I can do when I injected you with the medicine. I told you before, is it a biological agent?" The doctor said casually, raised his hand and pointed at Sheng Yao's chest. His face, which looked exaggerated on his nails, screamed excitedly, and the voice was sharp and light.
Sheng Yao's head seemed to have a needle pierced, which made him suddenly feel a tingling pain. He remembered the last "dialogue" with the doctor. At that time, the doctor had just spoken out of "biological preparations", and he was interrupted by Bai Xiao when he asked a question.
The doctor's voice sounded again, overshadowing the sound of the nails, "There are now genes of other organisms in your body. Whether it is the genes of human beings that have the advantage, absorbing the power of other organisms and using them for yourself, or the contrary, it depends on yourself."
As the doctor finished speaking, the nails burst into shouts, and they were cheering in unison like people watching the fun, which made people feel upset.
Sheng Yao was a little troubled by the noise. Deep in his heart, he felt that the nails seemed to be viewers from the perspective of God. They already knew the direction of the plot, so they were excited that the characters in the play had no idea about the trap.
Sheng Yao took a deep breath, watched the doctor put down his hands, and the nails became quiet again, and then asked again: "Will there be a fight between two genes? Is this change irreversible?"
The doctor squinted his eyes, smiling, "I just injected some genes into you, and I didn't implant a monster in you."
Sheng Yao's eyelids twitched.
"But if you completely become a monster and completely die out of your own, there is no reversal." The doctor looked at the projection screen again, leaned back, leaning against the sofa. This action could be said to indicate that Sheng Yao was over. The question and answer had ended.
Sheng Yao did not leave immediately. He followed the doctor's gaze and looked at the projection screen. He listened carefully to the lines in this TV series for the first time:
"...I shouldn't have to work overtime this weekend. Where can we go to play at that time? I want to go to the movies and go to have dinner later. My classmate recommended this restaurant to me, and the crab inside was very delicious. Let's show you, this is... "
The young girl handed her cell phone forward, her eyes shining, and subconsciously licked her lips.
The sun shines in through the glass window, illuminating the restaurant and hitting her face, making her look shining and full of vitality.
This is completely different from the monster clinic that opened on the small roads in the old community, and it is also completely different from Sheng Yao's previous experience of fighting monsters in the dark night, and it is even more incompatible with this dark and impermeable space.
"Can you tell me about Tong Bin's illness and treatment process?" Sheng Yao did not look at the girl again.
He has no free time, energy or mood to watch a sunny and beautiful idol drama.
The doctor didn't raise his head, "To protect the patient's privacy, I will not disclose any condition."
Sheng Yao narrowed his eyes, "What about the information outside of the disease?"
Under the doctor's mask, the curve of his mouth was highlighted, and his dark blue eyes turned upwards, reflecting Sheng Yao's face, "What does that have to do with you?"
His ten nails then burst into laughter.
Sheng Yao closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"You're right." He looked at the doctor, bowed slightly, "I'll bother you." Then he turned around and left the dark room.
The door opened and closed again.
Only the sound of videos remained in the TV room.
The camera on the projection screen turned and came outside the restaurant. The background sound became noisy. Through the glass window, you could see the young girl's pretty side face and half of Liu Yu's smiling face.
The two of them laughed and spoke. The video did not make the sound of them, but they only heard the traffic on the street and the pedestrians gathered into the most commonly heard background sound in life. But the two seemed to be in another space, enjoying tranquility and sweetness.
The doctor's smile under the mask is getting bigger and bigger, beyond the boundaries of the mask.
The nails also started to laugh and make noise.
All the sounds came to an abrupt end in a few seconds.
Dingling--
The phone rings rang in the darkness.
The doctor looked in the direction where Sheng Yao left. The door leading to the clinic was still standing there.
He frowned, looked at the video that continued to play on the projection screen, and looked at the door again.
The nails mumbled in a low voice.
The doctor no longer hesitated. He stretched out his hand and a landline appeared on the sofa that was originally empty. The line of the landline was dragged long, and a large section disappeared into the darkness. Then a threaded head appeared beside the door.
The doctor picked up the microphone.
"Doctor, are you busy?" Boss Le's cheerful voice came from the microphone.
This tone interrupts the sweet love story played on the projection screen.
The doctor squeezed another bump in his brow. He stretched out his other hand and grabbed the remote control that suddenly appeared from the void, pausing the video.
"I have something I want to ask you. I recently met a girl who seemed to suffer from premarital phobia..." Boss Le's tone turned serious, and he patiently said what he knew, "Can you treat this disease? It's just that it has not been confirmed. She has accompanied her to see a psychiatric department at home..."
"No." The doctor interrupted Boss Le briefly and powerfully.
"Hey? Then after the diagnosis, can you..."
"No," the doctor repeated.
"Oh..." Boss Le was silent for a while, as if he was hit and was depressed. However, this was just a brief illusion. He quickly asked happily again: "So, is she seriously ill? It should be nothing? Ordinary hospitals can be treated? Alas, I thought her condition should not be serious before. Although it seems serious, it is compared to Uncle Sheng at that time..."
The doctor did not answer so quickly this time, nor did he interrupt Boss Le's endless talk.
He groped through the remote control and gently pressed a button.
As soon as the picture on the projection screen changed, Sheng Yao's face appeared in front of him.
He hugged Bai Xiao gently, lowered his head, and his gaze slightly shifted.
The camera turned as his gaze turned and landed on the back of Bai Xiao's neck.
There was a dark and smudged spot, like ink that blackened Bai Xiao's skin, and like the blood vessels under her skin, and the nerves were all lesions.
Sheng Yao's eyes didn't blink, staring at the markings.
"Do you have to go?" Bai Xiao came out of the sound with a choking voice of reluctance and worry.
Sheng Yao let go of his arms, stared at Bai Xiao, and nodded solemnly, "You must go."
Bai Xiao had tears in his eyes and forced a smile, "Okay... Then you... need to be careful. Be careful. If it really doesn't work, forget it. You must come back safely."
Sheng Yao smiled, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
The lens was pulled away at this time.
Sheng Yao and Bai Xiao separated. Bai Xiaoli was still in place and watched Sheng Yao walk out of the clinic.
Sheng Yao waved to Bai Xiao through the glass door, and then he completely walked out of Bai Xiao's sight.
The camera did not follow Sheng Yao, but turned to Bai Xiao.
All the expressions on Bai Xiao's face disappeared. She looked at the glass door for a while, turned her head and looked at the clinic with that extremely calm gaze. She raised her right hand and touched her left hand.
The camera moved downward and saw Bai Xiao's left hand suddenly turn blue and black. The blue and black lines spread all the way to her forearm.
Bai Xiao did nothing, just lowered his hand, turned around and walked towards the ward.
When the screen switches on the projection screen, Sheng Yao's face appears again.
Sheng Yao leaned against the taxi window glass, and the light of the street lights illuminated his eyes. The moment the light broke, Sheng Yao's eyes were dark, like an invisible deep pool, exactly the same as Bai Xiao's calm eyes.
The doctor's mouth opened again under his mask.
"Hey hey hey? Doctor, are you still here?" Boss Le urged on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't hear impatientness in his tone. The sound of his call was full of confidence in his own speculation and no longer worried about Kong Yajie's condition.
"She will be cured soon." The doctor answered impatiently and hung up the phone directly.
On the sofa, the landline disappeared.
The doctor stood up, as if he had encountered advertisements during the middle of watching TV many years ago, looking for this gap to move his body.
He looked down at the empty coffee table, and his fingers lightly in the void, as if he was counting items that others could not see.
I saw a bucket of popcorn, two packs of potato chips, a bottle of soda, a box of fried chicken and fries, and a cup of juice on the coffee table...
The doctor nodded with satisfaction, and the nails were also excited and made noises to show their presence.
The doctor prepared the snacks and drinks and lay half on the sofa again.
On the projection screen, Sheng Yao had already gotten out of the taxi and returned home.
The doctor held the popcorn bucket and watched excitedly as Sheng Yao opened the cabinet and took out a suitcase from the depths.
The suitcase was opened, revealing the neatly separated space inside. Among them, machetes, axes, knives, shovels, high-power flashlights, ropes, compass, first aid kits... everything is available.
The doctor took a bite of popcorn, his eyes widened, and he stared at the projection screen.
Ten nails seemed to have held their breath at the same time, and then gasped at the same time, making excitement cry.
This strange sound filled the entire dark TV room, and then spread to the clinics, clinic halls and wards outside.
Chapter completed!
