Volume 1: Shadow Rising Chapter 36: Shadows of Wellington (1) Dusk

Wellington Hospital, London, UK, at dusk.

The hospital is also one of the best private hospitals in Europe and is particularly known for its excellent neurosurgery, with tens of thousands of patients coming to the hospital every day, sometimes even in the aisles.

Today, however, things were different, and while the crowd in the lobby at the bottom was still bustling, the third floor, which was supposed to be the hottest neurosurgery clinic, was exceptionally quiet, with even sentries on the elevators and staircases.

Someone suddenly and recklessly burst in from the staircase with his pocket, and the sentry stopped the visitor solemnly but politely, while the visitor shouted: "I say, don't you know me?"

The sentry looked at it intently, then gave a quick and awkward salute, for it was only then that he could clearly see the faces of the incoming people, none other than their superior, Raven Garcia.

"But I still want to praise you for your work style. Raven said in a kind tone, "It's better to be alert than to work lazily." ”

The young sentry was embarrassed by the compliment, and could only touch the back of his head and smirk, Raven patted him on the shoulder again before walking straight to the ward marked 301.

"You're here. As soon as Raven entered, he saw Nicholas smirking at him on the backmost bed, "I don't think I have any regrets in my life to be able to enjoy your errands." ”

"If you're poor, be careful that I poke a few more holes in you. Raven said as he put down his pocket, "Why don't you hurry up and get up and get food yourself, are you still waiting for me to feed you?"

"It's so heartless. Nicholas grumbled and lifted the covers and got up, then took a boxed lunch out of his pocket. "Vice-captain, you can get up and have a taste too. ”

"I don't have an appetite right now. Ye Xiang, who was lying on the bed in the middle, was closing his eyes and recuperating, although he did not suffer too many external injuries in the battle towel with Glenn Brown, but it was also very dangerous for him who had collapsed when he first entered the hospital.

"I don't know when the captain will wake up. Raven glanced at the bed at the door, the head of the bed was covered with all kinds of sophisticated instruments, even if all the instruments in the entire room combined were not as many as here.

Shore Robert's eyes were closed and his face was extremely pale, his hands were wrapped in layers of gauze after nerve repair surgery, and the oxygen mask was firmly fixed to his face. The most seriously injured of all was the captain himself, who was almost in shock due to massive blood loss, and although he was rescued from life-threatening danger, he still fell into a coma.

"That man is going to be fine. Ye Xiang straightened up from the bed, "He is a strong man, even if he falls into endless hell, he will climb out of it by his own will." ”

"I'm sure the captain will be stronger than we are. A voice came from the door, and the three of them looked up in unison, only to see Rex Field leaning against the doorframe.

"Rex, why don't you accompany Wakaba to us?" Raven said sourly, "It's a group of men here, and it's not as good as the room next door between you and Wakaba." ”

"We're brothers, aren't we?" Rex said, shaking his shoulders, "Besides, Wakaba isn't in much danger right now, although she received a heavy blow to the head, but it didn't endanger her life, but she didn't know when she would wake up." ”

"When she woke up, she must have wanted to see you first. Nicholas joined the "Lemon" army, "I don't know why, every time I see the two of you, I feel sour in my heart, is this the anger that belongs to a single man?"

"Did you two drink too much lemon tea today?" Rex said with a laugh, "how do I feel a sour smell in the air." ”

"That's the end of the chat. Ye Xiang stretched on the bed, "You two don't have to eat grapes there and say that grapes are sour, Rex, you must have a notice here." ”

"As a vice-captain, I can always see at a glance what I want to do. Rex said as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket behind him, "It's a new order, Vice-Captain." ”

"What is the new order?" Ye Xiang took the paper with a frown, and then the expression on his face gradually became solemn.

"Is there anything going on, vice-captain. Raven noticed the subtle change in Ye Xiang's expression.

"No, it's a new appointment. Ye Xiang tore the note to shreds as he spoke. "From now on, until Captain Shore wakes up, I will act as the leader of Team X, and this is the new appointment at BPRD headquarters. ”

"It should be taken for granted. "It's tradition that when a captain is unable to perform his duties as captain, he should be replaced by a vice-captain." ”

"I don't covet the captaincy, all I want is," Ye Xiang looked at Xiao Er, who was still unconscious, "I hope he can wake up quickly and lead us to battle again." ”

"He'll wake up. Rex smiled mysteriously, "I just don't know what the world will be like when he wakes up?"

"What do you mean by that?" Raven keenly sensed something in his words, "I feel like you've changed a lot, and you're completely different from the original you." ”

"Have I changed?" Rex said in an exaggerated tone, "no, no, no, my dear friends, I was meant to be like this, but you haven't really noticed it yet." ”

"You-" Before Raven could finish his words, Rex had already waved his hand and left the door, and he had to swallow the words that had just come to his lips.

"That guy's personality wasn't like that. Raven voiced his doubts, "He was not very good at talking, and he wouldn't reveal his feelings so obviously, what was going on in him. ”

"It's really weird. Nicholas also suddenly had doubts at this time, "Of all the battles, only the opponent Rex faced escaped, is it permissible for the Wild Hunter to escape?"

"No!" Ye Xiang picked up his words, "It's a well-known creed that a wild hunter will be sentenced to death if he escapes, but what is the reason why that opponent would not hesitate to disobey the order in order to escape?"

There was a brief silence in the room, and all three of them looked at each other as if things had gone beyond their expectations, and the dinner ended in this unpleasant atmosphere.

In the bathroom at the end of the hallway, Rex was constantly washing his face with cold water. "It's so dangerous. He looked at himself in the mirror and said, "I almost feel like I'm about to be recognized, I don't want to end the game so early." ”

"What do you want?" said the figure in the mirror, "you have taken my body and imprisoned my soul, and now what do you want to do?"

"It's all your choice. Rex taunted the man in the mirror, "Because you're too weak to protect the person you love, and you're a poor creature with no power, that's why you summoned me." ”

"You're lying. The man in the mirror retorted, "It's you who want to completely occupy me, so you deliberately take advantage of my negative emotions." ”

"I'm you!" Rex grinned, "You never thought about why you feel me every time you're occupied by negative emotions, because I'm the truth you bury deep inside." So as I said earlier, we are one. ”

The man in the mirror is silent, and Rex wipes the water from his face with a towel before turning away. "Your body will lend me a few more days. Rex paused at the doorway, "After all, being a human can do some fun games. ”
