Chapter VII: Choices

Sometimes I wonder if the world has erased the existence of youkai and given them superior abilities over humans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Not only can Info hide in the crowd, but not only does it have enough abilities to threaten human lives, but it can even easily erase any trace of anything that can be done to humans. Maybe it's not erasure, because the world is already invisible to the world without effort.

Because of this, youkai can run rampant in the human world and be unscrupulous. I remembered the snake demon and the youkai in front of me who disregarded the truth. They are all the same, playing with human beings as toys, deciding the life and death of others according to their preferences, and burying their filth by despicable means, which is the source of evil in this world.

Xiao Zheng covered the deceased with a white cloth and closed his eyes in silence, seemingly ending the autopsy.

My mind was full of the woman's pale face and the clear finger marks on her neck.

What should I do? I had promised my father that I would not easily expose my secret, but now, am I really going to bury the truth by keeping it a secret?

This truth is related to a young life that has just passed away, and it is also related to my ideals and obsessions for so many years. Even so, do I have to keep my mouth shut for my own sake?

The person on the other side, or the monster, is because of his difference that he can better understand whether what I am saying is the truth or not. If I say it, maybe the truth will no longer be hidden, because what I am saying is the truth that he can also understand, or rather, he must admit. It's not just the truth on the corpse, but his identity that I've long seen through.

But whether it is from his identity or what he did just now, it makes me deeply suspicious and wary. Maybe I say it, and what awaits me is this person's silence. After all, I'm probably the one who can threaten their existence. Even if, in their eyes, the weak are vulnerable.

The revenge has not been avenged, can I afford to gamble with my life?

My heart is at war with heaven and man, and the wind is surging, and the fight is non-stop. I suddenly remembered the truth from my parents' funeral when I was a child, and I told it in tears. Only then, no one believed me, my screams were exchanged for a dose of tranquilizers, and my tears and grief were only obtained by the whispers of others, the title of a madman. There has never been a moment when I have not hated my weakness and shamed my powerlessness. I think every day that if someone believed in me, it wouldn't end up like this.

And now, what I say will be believed, but I dare not say it? Can I do this, I can't even get past my own level.

I can endure death, but I can't stand such cowardice. This kind of behavior is, in essence, a betrayal of my parents.

I don't want to betray, and I don't want to lose the pillar of my heart.

Swallowing, I hid a scalpel between my fingers. If Xiao Zheng makes any movement for a while, I will preemptively kill him, find the carotid artery in one second, start in one second, and the remaining few minutes will be enough as long as I try my best to delay. It doesn't matter if he dies or not, it's a big deal to die together, I haven't learned medicine for so many years.

"Teacher Xiao, don't you need to record the external injuries on the deceased's body?" I tried to make my voice seem less shaky and look a little more normal and calm.

"Trauma? Where are the traumas, do you mean the scratches left by the struggle on the abdomen of the deceased's fingers? Xiao Zheng didn't raise his head, and prepared to complete the autopsy report according to the record I just had.

"No, I'm talking about the scratches on her neck." As soon as the words came out, I tensed the muscles of my whole body and entered a state of first-level alert. His right hand held the small scalpel tightly.

"Oh? Yes, I checked why I didn't see it just now, Yiqing, you should have read it wrong. This time, Xiao Zheng finally stood up, faced me, and approached step by step, smiling rather than smiling.

"No, I read that right. Forensic Doctor Xiao, you saw it too, didn't you? "I said word by word, I can't retreat, if I retreat at this time, there will be nothing.

"Oh, I thought I didn't see anything." This is the first time Xiao Zheng has spoken like this in front of me, and his indecent tone does not look like a rigorous forensic doctor at all, which makes me clearly realize that he is different from ordinary people's identity.

"No, you saw it." I stared at Xiao Zheng and said categorically, "Because, you are a monster." As soon as I finished speaking, the air in the entire dissection room seemed to freeze, and my heart was relaxed and nervous about danger.

Xiao Zheng put away his smiling face, and I could almost feel the almost figurative and dangerous flames emanating from his body, and the vague snake face was also staring at me coldly.

At that moment, I realized the fear of impending death. Non-verbal can be described, and there is no imagination to refer to, but the piercing chill that can be felt at that moment.

With his left hand, which did not hide the knife, he pinched himself hard. I used all my strength to stand firm, tensing my nerves and not letting go for a second. Even if you die, you must not show weakness in front of the most hated youkai.

As a result, it seemed that I was left with the last and only option, the first strike.

When he was only two steps away from me, I rushed forward decisively, the scalpel in my right hand ready to be inserted diagonally into his carotid artery. Although the scalpel didn't have a sharp head, the edge was sharp enough to cut through the skin of his neck diagonally, and then use the strength of his wrist to stab it into the carotid artery.

However, Xiao Zheng seemed to guess my actions, and before I could do it, he controlled my right hand first, and squeezed it hard, my right hand was sore, and the scalpel fell to the ground with a "snap".

At this point, how could I just give up and be caught. I kicked him in the middle, then pointed my free left hand at his throat and let me strangle him like that. It's not impossible, my hatred, my fear, my desperate bet can make me burst out with unimaginable power at this moment, and it won't be difficult to crush a person's throat with my bare hands.

However, I still failed, he put his hands on my wrists tightly, and after five seconds I let go, but I felt as if my hands were tied, and I couldn't break free no matter how hard I struggled.

Forget it, it's over, there's nothing to say. Instead of looking at him, and not caring about my bound arms, I think I did my best.

I'm just resentful of why the world treats these monsters so favorably. It is clear that it does not need to exist, but it is more advantageous and wanton than humans. It's so unfair!

"I said you girl is ruthless, if I hadn't flashed fast, would you want me to cut off my children and grandchildren?" Xiao Zheng only had time to complain at this time, he covered his crotch with both hands, and his face was full of grievances.

Yes, I can't wait for you to cut off your children and grandchildren, and there is no successor, and it's best that all of your monster clan is not continued, and you will die alone. In this way, the existence of the youkai will soon be wiped out, and anyway, it will be as if it never existed. I think my eyes must be full of malice, and yes, I curse the yokai and my disgusting fate all the time.
