Chapter 13: Rain or Shine

For a moment, the ghost spider felt the tip of his heart shrink slightly, it didn't hurt, it was just a tingling numbness, the man fell, he instinctively took a step, stretched out his hand to help her daughter take the first step.

"Mom?" Xu was caught off guard, the young girl asked in a whisper, and without getting an answer, she lowered her head to check, and then paused and the whole person softened, obviously frightened.

Holding the unconscious man, her daughter fell to the ground, stunned for a few seconds and screamed.

The young child sat on the ground, holding her in one hand, and the piercing cry was full of uncontrollable madness, as if it had burst from the depths of the soul, sharp and mournful, piercing through the sky, and dyeing the silent night with a touch of sadness and panic.

After a while, Sentomaru came back to his senses first, and quickly stepped forward, reaching out to help, while lowering his voice to try to reassure, "Nana... Nana, calm down. ”

"Don't touch my mom!" The young girl shouted at the hand handed in front of her, protecting the person in her arms from touching it, raising her eyes, her gaze mixed with resentment and hatred, "Go away!" You're not good people! Go away! ”

The ghost spider withdrew his hand hanging in the air, his gaze slid over the two people sitting in a bloody mess, and pursed the corners of his mouth, but he didn't have the heart to deal with a little ghost.

The man's thin and thin body was slumped in her daughter's arms, her eyes were closed, and her hair was in a bun that had been stretched out from the previous turmoil, lined with a few disheveled strands of hair, and her face looked as pale and gloomy as a wall.

It should just pass out, the ghost spider thought to herself, she was very timid, he knew, he was afraid of being scared in the first place, and at the banquet before, her eyes were full of fear that she had never seen before.

At that time, it was also in order not to frighten her that he forced himself to control his temper, who knows...

I knew that I shouldn't have let her go like that, at least when the banquet was over, and a few of them would go together, who would have expected that? An attack occurred in the naval headquarters, which had a very high security factor.

…………

"Nana, Nana, don't do that." Sentomaru was still trying to comfort the young girl who had fallen into madness, his tone soft and a little apologetic, "No one here is going to hurt you. ”

The two young people, Zhan Momomaru was at a loss, Nana cried helplessly, but her eyes were extremely fierce, and he saw the blue tendons on the forehead of the ghost spider jumping suddenly, intellectually he knew that her child was still young after all, and the young girl who had not experienced anything was out of control for a while.

The child, who was only sixteen years old, had just finished a treacherous and tragic killing, and then his relatives were in a coma in front of his eyes, and it was normal to react in a panic no matter what.

But!

Now it's not about crying, is it? Now it's important to get that person to the medical department for treatment!

Glancing at the man's pale face, the ghost spider clenched his fists and took a sharp step -- the angry scolding was already on his lips, but he didn't want to be in the next second, and the screams suddenly disappeared.

A look of extreme anger and despair froze on her face, and the young girl slowly closed her eyes, losing consciousness and falling limp.

"Huh? Huh? Nana? Sentomaru was even more in a hurry, holding Nana who had passed out, and her expression became more and more overwhelmed.

The man in the crimson suit who appeared in an instant and made a decisive move slowly and methodically put his hands behind his back, but he didn't speak, just took a step back to the side, and then, the sound of neat running came.

Under the dense shade of the trees, the navy soldiers with loaded guns and the medical soldiers with ambulance tools appeared silently and quickly.

Soon, the man and her daughter were carried onto the stretcher, allowing the medical team to quickly take them away from the scene, and Sentomaru hesitated for a moment to follow Nana who was lying on the stretcher, and hurriedly left.

Seeing the medical team disappearing into the shadows of the trees, the ghost spider pursed the corners of his lips and closed his gaze before looking at the initiator of the chaos.

…………

Admiral Akainu, Akainu Sakasky stood quietly in place, solemn and calm.

The general Akainu looked immovable, but his eyes were lowered, and the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line, which was a little displeased, which made the soldiers who happened to clean up the mess near him silent, and they became more and more cautious in their actions.

After a short time, the yellow ape Polusalino and the pheasant Kuzan walked into the scene side by side, and looked around, the yellow ape who was in charge of the Ministry of Science frowned, snorted, and snorted, "Yay~ It seems that we are in trouble." ”

The scene that the Navy soldiers were cleaning was a bloody mess, with stumps and broken bones scattered everywhere, and the thick and bloody flesh went straight to the end of the nose, but... The few admirals standing here frowned for another reason.

In an interception and counterattack, Akainu and Pheasant did not make a move, but this does not mean that the two admirals did not find anything abnormal.

The severed stump can be connected and healed automatically, and the speed and strength are increased to a certain extent after regeneration, so the strange situation... It was the first time in the lives of several admirals who witnessed it tonight.

Whereas... Whatever the purpose of the attackers, it is clear that these strange figures, who have not appeared before, are on the opposite side of the Navy, even if only temporarily, they are a problem for the Navy.

After some time, the scattered bodies at the scene were put into thick black plastic bags and transported by the soldiers to the real room of the Navy Science Department, and after a few moments, the Science Department personnel in protective clothing entered and began to use equipment to thoroughly disinfect the place.

The soldiers who arrived at the scene at the first time belonged to the defense force of the office area, and the supreme commander, Lieutenant General Stoloberg, and the flying squirrel were attacked, and the nearby patrol team had already noticed the abnormality and rushed to check it as soon as possible.

However, no matter how fast the soldiers moved, they were still slower than the ghosts and spiders for a while, and the shade of the trees was between the Ministry of Science and the office area, which was the intersection of the two stations, and the secrecy mechanism of the Ministry of Science had always been strict, and the patrols in the other garrisons rarely stayed except for routine patrols.

Tonight, the time when the flying squirrels were attacked was just a few minutes after the patrol team and the Ministry of Science were replaced.

The attacker that can regenerate, and the selected time is the blind spot of the naval station's defense; The timing was so delicate that the two lieutenant generals of the three generals who coincided with the meeting frowned.

…………

Looking down at the muddy and bloody stains under his feet, the yellow ape laughed, "yes~ It seems that there is no way not to get drunk tonight~"

The office defense team and the mobile unit of the Naval Science Department arrived, and the battle in the woods ended almost at the same time, and Yellow Ape ordered the soldiers who packed up the battlefield to transport all the debris to the Ministry of Science, and before that, he had ordered several research teams to stand by.

As soon as something arrives, it is dissected and analyzed, and no matter how much time and effort it takes, at least the foreign matter that leads to the strange regeneration must be found.

"Ahhh The pheasant smiled lazily, also looked down at the ground, paused, and then said, "Is the head the key?" ”

The yellow ape snorted, the rhythm was slow, and the meaning was unclear, "yes~ Then you need to ask Mrs. Anna." ”

After the words fell, there was silence for a moment, and the yellow ape turned his head to look out of the shade of the tree, raised his chin, and picked his lips casually, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, let's go to visit the weak lady together, right?" ”

"Visiting Mrs. Anna, I'm going to be out of company tonight~" Looking up at the sky, the yellow ape laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have to be busy for a few days in the future, and I thought I could be idle in the near future." ”

With a very high-sounding excuse, the general Yellow Ape slowly turned around and took a step towards the area where the medical unit was located, and the other four people who stayed in place looked at each other, and then quietly chose the same direction as the Yellow Ape.

…………

Although it is an independent unit, it is inextricably linked with the Ministry of Science, and the drugs used by the Navy and various related clinical trials are supported by the Ministry of Science, so the offices of the two departments are very close, but only ten minutes away.

The yellow ape and his party of five people, three generals and two lieutenant generals, and the high-ranking naval officials who appeared at the same time made the atmosphere in the medical department a little tense.

"yes~ Isn't it just a coma?" The yellow ape raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "How do you work your supreme commander?" ”

I heard from the medical staff that the two people who were sent, Nana from the Ministry of Science had already been placed, and the person was just in a coma, and he would be fine when he woke up naturally, and the other Mrs. Anna... The head of the medical unit, who happened to be off work, was doing a detailed examination for her.

Greg. House, the Supreme Commander of the Medical Unit of the Navy Headquarters and a Devil Fruit Ability, actually dispatched to him...

In a flash of thought, the yellow ape looked at the ghost spider without a trace, and his eyebrows trembled slightly, "It can't be that something is wrong, right?" ”

Although the lady was very weak, she was not injured in the attack, which the yellow ape knew very well, and she would faint and be frightened... It may also be that the mental stimulation after firing/shooting is too much.

The medical department personnel who were in charge of receiving the visiting generals did not know anything, and of course, several visiting generals also knew that they could not ask anything, so they looked at each other and immediately asked people to lead them to the examination room.

…………

Passing through the medical reception hall into the building, turning a hallway, the member of the medical department leading the way points to the door at the end, indicating that it is the destination.

After a short while, the group stood in front of the closed door of the examination room, and the leader of the way raised his hand to knock on the door, and after receiving a response, he gently opened it, and then quietly stepped aside to make way for the position.

The yellow ape exhaled and walked in first.

The people in the room raised their heads when they heard the movement, saw them clearly, frowned, and then walked around the hospital bed full of instruments, pulled up the curtain to cover it, and then greeted him, "What's the matter?" ”

Greg. House's inexplicable actions made the yellow ape's eyes flash slightly, but he smiled carelessly, "yes~Come to visit the unconscious Lady Anna~"

The Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Medicine have a lot of correspondence on weekdays, so the general who is in charge of the Ministry of Science, Huang Ape, is very familiar with the head of the medical unit. House's expression was uncertain... The yellow ape could also see that most of the people behind the curtain were in a wrong situation.

"Maybe she can explain something, is it convenient?" The yellow ape is blunt, although he can guess the doctor's psychology towards the patient, but tonight he needs to race against time...

Greg. House frowned, and before he could answer, he cast his eyes on the door, and then said angrily, "Didn't you say that I would notify you to visit if it was no problem?" ”

Zhan Taomaru, who was under the gaze of everyone in the room, his whole face was flushed, and he shouted weakly, "Old man." "I refused to go as if I was rooted, and my eyes were very anxious when I stared inside.

Huang Ape glanced at his juniors, and sighed in his heart, the kid Zhan Taomaru was obviously driven away before, and when he found out that several of their generals had arrived, he also wanted to know the situation, in order to... That girl.

For the sake of the incompetence of his juniors, he sulked, and after all, the yellow ape general still felt sorry for the child who had been watching him grow up, so he asked, "yes~ Is the situation really wrong with that lady?" ”

For doubts, Gregor. House was silent for a while before replying, "Let's take a look for yourself~" raised his hand to make an invitation, then turned back and said lightly, "Young man, it's better not to know this, go out, and close the door." ”

Zhan Momomaru hesitated and finally closed the door slowly, at this time, the head of the naval medical unit turned around and opened the curtain, and several generals in the room walked towards the back of the curtain, their expressions sank slightly, because they all knew that if it wasn't for some special circumstances, Gregor. House wouldn't say anything bad like that.

…………

Behind the curtain is a simple bed, and the precision instruments placed on the side run silently. House walked around to the other side, facing several of the generals, and reached out to gently raise the sleeve of the unconscious man's shirt.

Hiss -

The quiet room sounded the sound of gasps.

Including the yellow ape, several people were so startled by what they saw in front of them that they subconsciously took a breath, and after seeing it clearly, several generals present instantly released a murderous aura, and they were furious for a while.

Her arms rested on the sheets, the bruises on her wrists were more pronounced by the snow-white lining, the edges were blue-black, the center was reddish to dark, snake-like winding around her wrist bones, and her forearms.

That's a bruise from a long bundling/tying ... Obviously, it has been restrained for too long, and the skin has been slightly necrotic because the blood cannot circulate.

After a few moments, the sleeves were lifted back on, and Gregor. House turned to unbutton the first and second buttons of her neckline, the skin she had unbuttoned, and the skin she could see was carved with hideous marks.

Streaks of bruising on the collarbone... Even the lining covers the depths.

Finally, the hand of the head of the medical unit hung above the man, his fingertips glowed slightly, and a light green arc of light slowly formed, slowly enveloping her from head to toe on the hospital bed.

"There are a lot of similar marks on her." Greg. House whispered, "The doctor who examined me will notify me when she finds out." ”

The yellow ape frowned fiercely and said in a cold voice, "She hasn't been alone today. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the remaining four people around the hospital bed, and as expected, the yellow ape saw shock and anger in the eyes of the four people, they were all men, and it was not clear what this trace represented.

But it was very strange that, at least today, Anna had no chance to be alone at all, and she didn't see anything unusual when she saw her during the day, except for her first accusation and then horror at the ghost spider.

What's more, before the coma was sent to the medical department, her wrist was exposed, and there was no bruise on her skin at all.

…………

Greg. House raised his eyelids and snorted, "I know, a careful examination found nothing abnormal. After speaking, his smiling eyes swept over the five men with the highest rank to the rank of general, "If you... She was so thin and dead. ”

Although the occasion was not right, the three generals and two lieutenant generals still twitched the corners of their mouths in unison, thought about it and coughed again, and looked away in embarrassment in the sneer of the head of the medical department.

It took a while for the coughing to stop.

Restore fù quiet interior, Gregor. House explained in a deep voice, "These are old wounds. After a pause, he asked, "You know her?" Who is more familiar with her? ”

"Does she usually react violently to the approach of the opposite sex?"

Then, the yellow ape, the red dog, the pheasant, and the flying squirrel, suddenly turned their eyes to the ghost spider.

The ghost spider's eyes fell on the man, and his voice was low and hoarse, with indescribable hatred and anger, "In addition to being more afraid of life, she... She always likes to wear a mask. ”

"That's a knee-jerk reaction to psychological trauma." Greg. House stared at a few people nearby, his expression uncertain, "Her memory may be partially forgotten, as you can see, she was once violated by Yanzhòng." ”

"Judging from the healing of several broken bones on her body, the time is between fifteen and twenty years ago."

The person in charge of the medical department, who was already in old age, sighed, and pity appeared between his eyebrows, "The human brain activates the self-defense mechanism when the damage exceeds the limit, and if she is usually in a normal state, it may be that she forgot about that experience." ”

"Memories can be shielded, but injuries are always there, they are recorded by the body, and under certain special conditions..."

"There will be a backtrack."

"If she does need to answer something, I hope it doesn't irritate her too much."

…………

With Greg. House fell silent, and the room fell into deathly silence.

After a long time, the yellow ape said in a dumb voice, "It's not something that she has to answer, let her rest." ”

Closed his eyes, then reopened them, his eyes fell on the unconscious man, the yellow ape frowned, sighed, and finally let go of the intention to ask, about the attacker...

Over-speed regeneration, those unidentified weird characters, the Ministry of Science can solve them, and she doesn't have to explain.

She's like this now... And no one could bear it.

The man lying on the hospital bed... It's really... Rao is that they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have to pity her when they see her like this.

Greg. House is a superhuman Devil Fruit ability, and his ability can be precisely tested, and if it is not for sure, the head of the medical department will not make a judgment and warn them.

It is thought that Anna was in a coma and sent to the medical department, and the medical staff found something unusual during the examination and notified Gregor. House, at first most of the people who hurt her were some kind of scum inside the Navy... That's why the head of the medical department personally went out.

The yellow ape should have been angry and was first regarded as the 'object of suspicion', but listening to Greg. House's words, the displeasure vanished before it could rise.

Old wounds? After so many years, her body stubbornly remembers the injury, which shows how terrible the disaster was at that time.

Greg. The special conditions that House said, Huang Ape thinks, are mostly referring to today's continuous accidents, and finally, combined with the flesh and blood at the scene not long ago, stimulating her too deeply, so that the old injuries will recur.

Between fifteen and twenty years ago, Anna is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, and her daughter is sixteen. How old was she when such a terrible thing happened?

Fifteen years old? Fourteen? Or smaller?

Still a child.

Whoever does that to a child deserves hell!
