Chapter 288: Hunger in the Heart
Peake sat up from the ground!
He looked at the familiar surroundings: everything was quiet, the morning sun was shining through the narrow window, Ryder was lying beside him, also on the floor, his grandfather was sleeping on the bed, both of them seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and his hanging heart was half relieved at the sight of this.
It's just why his arm is rotten, he looks at his hand and sees the rotten flesh in his nails.
Just after he woke up, he scratched it unconsciously, but it was directly scratched off a piece of flesh!
A sense of powerlessness and panic rose from my heart, and deep down, there was a strong desire to strike. This craving seems to be a craving for food, like the wreck of being hungry for many days. It's also not accurate, because Pique bought a lot of black bread to keep at home, and he ate a lot of bread just before he went to bed yesterday, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't have behaved so hungry.
Is it because his injuries have worsened?
But why did it deteriorate like this, the whole arm was flowing with pus as if it was rotten.
Yellow pus, green pus......
Green pus......
What does this green represent? He thought of his dreams, of the third level of the Tower of the Dead.
As if he suddenly realized something, Pique first suppressed the hunger in his heart, and struggled to get up from the ground and climb onto the chair, but this simple action seemed to drain the strength of his whole body, making him extremely weak.
Sitting in his chair, he looked towards the bronze mirror.
The pupil on the left is reflected in blue, and the pupil on the right is a void...... Black.
Peake realized that Zhu Tian had returned to his body.
The next moment, he staggered out and pushed the door open, "Zhu Tian," he shouted in a low voice, "Can you hear me? What is the matter with my body? Why did my whole body fester. When he first looked in the mirror, he noticed that the color of his face and neck was very strange, and it seemed to be showing signs of festering. Feeling it, he pulled open his collar and looked at his chest, only to see a piece of rotten meat!
"Woo yo yo!"
He was disgusted by the way he looked at himself, and he leaned against the corner and retched!
"Bang! bang!"
Green slime fell from his mouth and hit the ground!
Pique's eyes widened as he saw the green slime coming out of his mouth bubbling and seeming to be intensely corrosive!
Seeing this, his whole body twitched uncontrollably, and his hands and feet spasmed.
Mad, he rushed into the workshop in the corner of the courtyard.
"Bang!"
He closed the door tightly and curled up in the corner.
In normal times, he would spend his time in the house planing wood and developing furniture.
The production room is full of tools that accompany him as he grows. Axes of all sizes, all sorts of steel saw blades.
Now, Pique wasn't in the mood to pick up those familiar tools again, just knelt in the corner.
He looked at his hands tremblingly, and saw that they were covered with green slime, like sweat, coming out of his pores!
I want to know what's wrong with my body...... Pique couldn't calm down at all, and silently repeated the question countless times.
The festering skin all over his body, the green mucus that came out of his mouth and secreted from his palms, all of this frightened Pique so much that he almost fainted.
And what impressed Pique the most was not his current condition, not the green slime, but the monster on the third floor of the Tower of the Dead in his dream, the rotten gold monster!
When I woke up, I found something strange in my body, and I looked like this, isn't it like a rotten gold monster in a dream?
Anyone who somehow finds out that they have become such a strange state will be so frightened that they will run out for help.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this situation is most likely due to severe poisoning, and it may be that some poison took advantage of his sleep to bite hard, resulting in poison all over the body.
In Pique's mind, he had already roughly thought of why.
Gold Monster!
It must be the sequelae of the rotten gold monster in the dream!
Pique knew that he hadn't touched a single bit of the goo of the Rotten Gold Monster, and that the source of it all seemed to point to another soul in his body.
"Zhu Tian," he began to call for another soul in his body, and from the bronze mirror just now, he had already determined that Zhu Tian had been brought out by himself.
Still without any answer, Pique couldn't help but remember that when he was in the Tower of the Dead, Zhu Tian, who was covered in green slime, appeared to be languishing. So now, is he sleeping?
At this moment, Peake thought of two options, one was to go out and seek the help of the doctor in the hospital, find the source of the toxins in the body, and follow the doctor's instructions to see a doctor and take medicine. The second is to go to the church to seek the help of the pastor, the pastor has supernatural abilities, and should be more sure of this strange disease.
Without having time to think about it and think about it carefully, Peake made a decision when the idea first rose:
Go to the church and find the pastor.
For this strange disease, only priests can be trusted, and perhaps holy water will have miraculous effects.
After making his decision, he struggled to get up and wanted to rush out of the production room. However, at this time, he had just stood up and suddenly froze there, and after a short silence for a few seconds, a deep voice came out of his mouth:
"Don't go out. ”
Don't go out...... Don't go out? Peake heard three words like this ringing out of his mouth, and he knew that it was Zhu Tian's voice.
You were still calling, but you were silent.
Why stop me now?
Peake sighed, revealing a face full of bitterness, and asked apprehensively:
"Zhu Tian, do you have a way to cure this strange disease, so that our body can be restored to its previous state?"
Peake thought of smearing his wounds with wound medicine or powders of cloud grass and vines. But after realizing that this could be due to the after-effects of the Gold Monster, he began to despair and almost gave up on the idea of saving himself.
Pique stood there dumbfounded, waiting for Zhu Tian's reply.
There was a hint of silence in the air.
Finally, Zhu Tian opened his mouth and said, "Pique, don't you feel it?"
What do I feel? I just feel itching all over my body, and I am full of pain from cutting and drilling. I was already gritting my teeth and insisting on not scratching the itchy carrion, not savoring the pain carefully.
What else do you want me to feel?
"What is your heart longing for, don't you feel it?" was still Zhu Tian's voice. "From the moment I woke up, I was aware of the problem, and from the beginning, I was thinking about how to solve it. There is no doubt that we have fallen into the poison of the rotten gold monster, and if we want to detoxify the poison of the rotten gold monster, we must naturally understand the rotten gold monster first. ”
Feel it with your heart.
Suddenly, Peake thought of such a sentence.
This is one of the three sentences that Soros admonished him. Peake slowly relaxed his tense heart, as if he had experienced the existence of spiritual power, and he opened his mind and let his free thoughts fly.
At this moment, Pique suddenly had an enlightenment, and he felt the strong desire in his heart...... The longing that arose from the moment he woke up.
In this emergency, the abnormality of his body completely attracted his full consciousness. At this time, he returned to his heart again, and suddenly grasped the original thought buried in the depths of his heart:
"I'm hungry!" and finally, all my thoughts melted into these two words. There was a strong hunger in his tone.
"That's it!" Zhu Tian said affirmatively: "That's how it feels." ”
"But," said Pique, hesitating, "I bought a lot of brown bread to store at home, and I had this hunger before I came out, but I had no desire for it at all. Also, looking at the black bread was like looking at feces, and I felt nauseous, so I threw up when I just went out. ”
After the change of mentality, Pique realized the details that he hadn't noticed just now, "I feel like my stomach is full of green slime like the rotten gold monster," he continued, "and all the energy in my body seems to be burned by that slime, so I feel hungry." ”
The feeling of hunger had always haunted him, and even Peake heard a strange buzzing sound coming from his belly. The voice seemed to say:
"I'm hungry!I'm hungry!I'm hungry!food!food!"
I do feel hungry, but the most important thing now is to treat the disease first. Otherwise, when you have eaten enough in a while, your body should all be festering.
Since you can spit out that green mucus from your mouth, it means that you are terminally ill!
"No matter how hungry you are, you have to go to the hospital first. Peake suppressed his hunger and headed for the door again.
However, when he first walked to the door of the production room, his body was stunned again. "What's wrong?" Peake wondered, "Zhu Tian, why are you stopping me from going out?"
Feeling the resistance of the other soul against his body, Pique looked a little anxious, and continued, "I already feel my whole body festering. Peake lifted his trouser leg and stared at the skin on his leg with wide eyes, "There is no good place on my body, and besides, I feel like the ulcers are spreading to my heart, and we don't have much time." ”
"Pique, you still don't feel ......" Zhu Tian said in an unquestionable tone: "If you leave here now, you will definitely die if you don't last too long." You don't want to sleep in the Tower of the Dead forever, you can't leave this room. Of course, if you want to die, I can't stop you. ”
"What do you mean?" Peake was confused, "why did you organize me to leave this room, wouldn't I die if I stayed here?"
Peake wondered if such a strange disease was afraid of direct sunlight, but to stay here was to sit still.
Zhu Tian said: "As long as you eat, you shouldn't die." ”
Still want to eat at such a moment?
Could it be that Zhu Tian became stupid after staying in the tower for a day? Only a fool still thinks about eating at such an urgent moment, right?
Shocked by Pique's good temper, he couldn't help but get angry, and he began to gasp heavily. The next moment, he felt a whirling sensation of vertigo hit his mind.
He realized that his physical condition had deteriorated again! At this point, it became difficult for him to even walk. He felt like his boots were filled with green slime, making his feet soft.
"Peake, you're fainting from hunger, go get something to eat. In a trance, he heard Zhu Tian say again: "Follow your inner feelings and go eat something." ”
Going for a bite to eat?
Yes, I was really hungry at this time.
If you don't go to the doctor, you'll die, and if you don't eat, you'll die, but what do you have to eat now......
In a daze, Peake shook and slammed into the walls of the production room, his hands scratching and leaving patches of green handprints on the wall.
Bang!
The axe hanging from the wall fell, and Peake's eyes widened and he reflexively took a step back.
The axe landed between his feet, and if he had been a little slower, he would have lost a foot!
Peake swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to feel his tongue begin to fester. It felt like it was on fire.
Are you going to die?
Wheezing violently, Peake pulled the axe out of the ground and tried to hang it back on the wall, but when he saw the blade, he froze.
The strong longing in his heart exploded in an instant! His hand dripping with green slime lifted up, slowly brushing the blade of the axe that glowed with a cold cold light. "Why?" said Peake, "it feels so strange. ”
In his hand, the iron blade of the axe was already stained with green slime.
At this time, Pique's eyes seemed to have a hallucination, and the blade of the axe stained with green slime suddenly turned into a chicken leg dripping with butter!
"I'm so hungry!" said Peake, looking at the axe blade with his eyes glazed over. Then follow the hunger in my heart and gnaw on it hard......
