Chapter 49: Waiting for You
"Tell me what's on my mind?"
Repeating the words of the snake-haired ghost-faced hooded man mechanically, a blank look appeared on Xu Shilin's face. Then, as if awakened to some hidden memory, his body trembled violently.
Pointing his finger at the slender and real man in front of him, the blankness on Xu Shilin's face quietly melted, and all that was left was fear.
"It's you, how could it be you......"
It was as if he had seen someone who could not appear in this world, and without waiting for any response from the other party, he staggered and fled out the door!
It's all a nightmare, he's a person in a nightmare, how can he appear in reality!
However, the moment the soles of his feet stepped out of the door, he seemed to have fallen into a deeper and more terrifying dream, and his whole person stood in place as if struck by lightning.
In the corridor, at least five corpses were decomposing, and the stench was stinking, which frantically stimulated Xu Shilin's sense of smell.
This scene is like a nightmare. appeared the same.
"Dr. Xu, what are you doing so fast?"
Behind him, the man still teased in a strange tone, "You said that you find life boring, and that's why I gave you the ability to corrupt everything." Aren't you very fond of getting pleasure in killing? ”
Don't you like it a lot?
This sentence also appeared in his nightmare.
Boredom, repetitive consultations, receiving one inexplicable patient after another...... You talk to them about your illness, but they insist on saying that it is not easy for them; You have to listen patiently, otherwise they will complain about you; After prescribing the medicine, they secretly said that you deliberately prescribed high-priced drugs......
Xu Shilin was tired of everything at work, as if he was deprived of happiness, and for a moment, he longed to kill all these boring people.
So, "he" appeared.
Wearing a gorgon-faced hood, he was slender and had a voice that was not as gentle as that of a young man, and he said, "I can meet your needs." From now on, you can control your dreams, kill in your dreams, get pleasure, as long as you promise me......"
Xu Shilin couldn't remember what he promised, he only vaguely remembered his mood at the time, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He didn't understand why he believed the other party's words so quickly, so he agreed as if he was obsessed, and so, in every dream, he played his own game.
He misses his college days as a counselor. So, in the dream, he played the role of a psychiatrist, to guide each patient to their right path......
By killing.
It's just that how can people in dreams appear in reality!
Moreover, he killed the patients in the hallway!
The corpses that had corroded so much that their bones were exposed emitted a stench and were piled up on top of each other, reminding him of the cruel beasts that fed on humans in primitive times.
"No, I didn't do it, I didn't do it!"
Dr. Xu's body fell to the ground like mud, and then a large hand grabbed him by the throat and lifted his body up like a garbage bag.
The gown-grimaced man seemed to smile, his voice still soft, "You've fulfilled your dreams too." Now, it's time to make good on your promise! ”
His hand strained slowly.
Xu Shilin struggled, his eyeballs bulged out slightly because of the pressure between his throats, and his eyes were fixed on the big hand that was clutching him: gray-black spots were densely distributed on this hand, large or small, all the way to the cuffs.
You don't have to think about it, the other party's body must be like this.
A slight stench surged into Xu Shilin's nostrils.
He was hallucinating, and the specks were blurred in his eyes.
The last thought flashed through his mind.
Is that...... Corpse spots?
Xu Shilin's limbs hung down weakly, and he really turned into a garbage bag.
The Medus-masked man put the body down and yawned as if he had done something boring.
--
"Here's a piece of news. Xu Shilin, an internal medicine physician at Tinglin Central Hospital, was murdered and died, and the cause of death was ...... The police are still investigating further. ”
The hand holding the spoon stopped in the air, trembling slightly, and let the soup fall back into the bowl, the splashed soup staining Zhuo Xuan's clothes, and he stared at the TV screen in the cafeteria as if he was unconscious, as if he was afraid of missing some important information.
After carefully reading this midday news insertion, and replaying it countless times in his mind, Zhuo Xuan only felt that all this was ridiculous and unreal.
Because, according to Zhou Xueqiu's words, Xu Shilin-
Already! Pass through! Die! Finish!
How can a dead person die again?
Zhou Xueqiu personally admitted that he saw Xu Shilin's body in the morgue, and in the consultation room where he was, the existence disguised as Xu Shilin was undoubtedly a "beast".
So, the beast also died?
No way!
There will definitely be a reminder at the end of the mission, whether the beast has died or is contained by someone else.
Of course, after Zhou Xueqiu's explanation, Zhuo Xuan already knew that before the mission ended, the environment and things affected by the "beast" would not return to their original state for the time being. This was the case with Zhao Yusen's death before, because she was not in the mission time, so it was concluded that she was killed by humans.
But now it's different.
is in the time of the mission release, and Xu Shilin is an important clue figure, his death will make the mission officially launched, that is, after the news is released, the article "Investigation of the death of Xu Shilin, a doctor in the central hospital", will become a reality.
This is a must-do part, and it's most likely a hint of the existence of a way out.
"Hurry up and tell Zhou Xueqiu." Zhuo Xuan muttered to himself, only to feel that the food on the plate had become tasteless. He quickly sent the plate to the recycling office, and immediately sent a WeChat message to Zhou Xueqiu.
After a while, the other party replied to the message.
"Got it."
"That's it?"
Zhuo Xuan was a little stunned, and in the face of Zhou Xueqiu's reply, he was a little confused.
Could it be that Zhou Xueqiu already knew about it and discovered something unusual?
Or did he have a plan in place, but he didn't plan to tell it to himself?
For a while, chaotic thoughts instantly rushed into Zhuo Xuan's mind, making him feel a splitting headache. The increasingly bizarre development of events made him unable to empathize with Xu Shilin after recognizing the fact that Xu Shilin was dead.
When did you become numb to death?
Maybe one day in the near future, I will die at the hands of a certain "beast".
Was it a broken neck, or was it brainwashed into a puppet?
Zhuo Xuan doesn't know.
He stood on the broad-leaved forest road, hesitating, not knowing where to go. At this moment, he suddenly felt very homesick, missed the warm embrace of his parents, and missed their nagging......
"Buzz."
The mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, did Zhou Xueqiu send a message?
Zhuo Xuan took out his mobile phone blankly, his eyes fell on the screen, and at this moment, his body became stiff as if he had been immobilized, and a certain emotion seemed to break through the shackles and began to rage in his mind.
Zhuo Xuan's body began to shake violently, and the long-hidden emotions finally couldn't help himself. Teardrops dripped onto the phone screen, blurring the text on the sudden text message.
"Xuanxuan, I'm Dad. My mom and I are back and we are waiting for you at home. ”
