Chapter 13: Secret Talks
Wan'er followed Gu Zirui to the place where the prisoners were held in the base.
They stopped when they walked to the door of a small house, and after Gu Zirui pressed the password, the door opened automatically, Wan'er followed behind Gu Zirui, and the two walked in one after the other.
In the center of the room was a bed with handcuffs and leg cuffs, and the person lying on the bed was the same thug who had been shot in the head by Wan'er at the bar that day. The wound on his head had been taken care of, but the clothes were still the same as they were from that day, covered in blood, and he looked extremely sloppy.
The thug lay quietly on the bed, motionless, and if it weren't for his still heaving chest, Wan'er would have thought he was dead. Wan'er saw such a scene for the first time, she frowned, reached out to cover her nose, and muttered in a milky voice: "It stinks......"
Gu Zirui turned sideways and looked down at her, ignoring her discomfort and discomfort, just ordering her as he usually ordered his own team members: "Restore his hand." ”
Wan'er struggled in her heart for a while, but chose to put down the hand covering her nose. She frowned and moved closer to the bed, the more she went in the middle the foul smell. Despite the incomparable disgust in her heart, Wan'er continued, and soon she came to the bedside, and the whole picture of the gangster was also exposed to her eyes.
His entire arm on his left side had been petrified to stone, and there was no connection between petrified and petrified, and the skin there was red from being crushed by the stone, and even felt like it was going to burst the blood vessels. Seeing such a bloody scene, Wan'er endured the discomfort in her heart and attached her hand to the arm that had turned into stone.
Slowly, the man's arm slowly recovered in Wan'er's hand. But just as he was about to fully recover, his body suddenly trembled, followed by a non-stop trembling, and he felt like he was in great pain. Wan'er saw him in such pain, and the unbearable in her heart made her decide to let go.
But at this time, Gu Zirui, who had been standing aside, spoke up: "Go on." ”
"But he ......" Wan'er saw Gu Zirui's expressionless appearance, and was about to say something, but was interrupted: "His pain was brought by himself, you don't need to be soft-hearted." You're helping him now, and you're hurting him if you stop. ”
After listening to what Gu Zirui said, Wan'er didn't speak anymore. Her hand didn't come down either, and soon, the thug's hand was fully recovered. After Wan'er withdrew her hand, she was about to turn around and walk towards Gu Zirui, when suddenly a force pulled her whole person back, and the defenseless Wan'er slipped and sat on the ground with the soles of her feet.
The cold feeling on the ground gave Wan'er goosebumps all over her body, and she turned around to see the thug lying on the bed staring at her angrily with his bloodshot eyes, and let out a hoarse roar from his trembling mouth: "You monster! I'm going to tell the world you're a monster!"
The hand that grabbed her wrist tightened, and Wan'er's skin was scratched by his fingernails that hadn't been trimmed in a while.
Wan'er, who heard the word "monster", was stunned.
Gu Zirui quickly reflected, walked to Wan'er's side with an arrow, reached out to free Wan'er's hand from the thug's hand, and then helped her up from the ground.
Gu Zirui helped Wan'er out of the room, until the door of the room was completely closed, and he could still hear the person roaring inside over and over again: "You monster! monster ......"
The two walked back to the office wordlessly, and after Gu Zirui asked Wan'er to sit down, he got up and walked to the medicine box on the bookshelf, and took out cotton swabs and iodine wine and hemostatic patches from them. Then he returned to the couch and sat down next to Wan'er.
He took Wan'er's injured hand and asked while helping her disinfect, "Are you okay?" At this time, Wan'er came back to her senses, she thought that Gu Zirui was asking if she was in pain, so she smiled at him: "It doesn't hurt." ”
After that, Gu Zirui didn't speak again, and the two fell silent again. It wasn't until Gu Zirui helped her deal with all the wounds that he spoke again: "You are not a monster. ”
Seeing that the girl did not react, he continued, "You are the Stranger. It may be the first time you've seen it, but it won't be your last, and you'll have to get used to it. I can understand that you can't accept it for a while, but since you have fallen into this circle, you have to know how to protect yourself and how to use this ability. ”
"Do you know Gu Yi? He's also an anomaly. ”
Hearing this, Wan'er, who was still with her head down, looked at Gu Zirui, who was sitting on the side, with a shocked expression, and a tone of disbelief came out of her mouth: "Is that the little brother who has been following you?"
"Hmm. Gu Zirui nodded and continued: "What is his ability, wait for you to find out for yourself in the future." In addition to you, there are other Paranormal beings around me. Like you, they were once called monsters. But in fact, they are heroes, and there are countless people saved in their hands, and I can attest to that. So, you don't have to pay attention to other people's opinions, as long as you have a clear conscience. ”
Gu Zirui's enlightenment made Wan'er's mood improve all of a sudden, and she nodded heavily, indicating that she was already clear. Gu Zirui saw the light in the girl's eyes that lit up again, and the worry in his heart was put down. But now that her state has adjusted, it's time for her to get down to business.
"Alright. Calling you here today is not just about restoring people. Have you tried to use your abilities in the past few days?"
Wan'er was a little puzzled, and she couldn't quite understand what Gu Zirui meant: "Isn't it just that you can petrify by touching it with your hand?"
"Try without hands. ”
"Don't you use your hands, do you use your mind?" Wan'er obediently did after whispering. She stared at the book on the table, and as soon as the thought of "petrifying" it came to her, a miracle really happened.
The book on the table really becomes a book-like stone.
Seeing this scene, Wan'er instantly became excited, "it, it's really okay!" Then she didn't get Gu Zirui's consent on the side, and directly threw her eyes on other items in the office. After that, the vases, lamps, and drinking glasses in the office were all turned to stone one by one.
After Gu Zirui stared at the book on the desktop and finished thinking, as soon as he looked up, he saw that one-third of the things in the office had turned into stone, and he was instantly startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times.
He glanced at the girl next to him, whose gaze was constantly shifting, and reached out and tapped her on the head: "You can turn them back in one minute." Otherwise you'll be here tonight. ”
Wan'er looked at Gu Zirui, who had no human touch at all, and pouted her little mouth, before slowly restoring her office back.
