Chapter 626: On a Cold Night, on the Window Edge [Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription]
Where is this......
Zhou Haorui looked around in a daze, and saw a desolate place under the darkness, boundless.
Didn't I fall asleep in my dorm...... I played the game with Wei Ziyang and Wang Jiaqi until more than eleven o'clock, but I didn't win, because the next day was Friday and there was still class, so everyone washed and slept in a depressed mood...... Because I was very tired, I fell asleep quickly...... Is this a dream......
Darkness, apart from darkness, is silence, deathly silence.
Zhou Haorui suddenly felt a chill, and saw the low tombstones standing horizontally in the dark.
Is this a tomb...... But overhead, there seemed to be a ray of moonlight that had not yet been completely annihilated, but it could not illuminate this turbid environment......
It was as if the world had been turned into a huge tomb, filled with moldy mist.
Zhou Haorui wanted to move, but he felt extremely heavy, and his limbs seemed to be stuck to some sticky substance, which was difficult to pull.
How so, where is this...... What's going on......
"Is there anyone...... Zhou Haorui's heart became more and more dazed, and gradually a trace of inexplicable fear arose, his heart contracted, his pores also contracted, and the cold, dampness and darkness around him were seeping into his body and mind, turning into a weight pressing on him......
Zhou Haorui struggled and kept struggling, but his feet seemed to be stuck in the dirt, and he couldn't move, and the more he moved, the more he felt a strange pain.
This pain...... He suddenly remembered that it was the pain in his cervical spine......
But now, the pain is eroding his feet and spreading all over his body.
Like, the whole body turned into a stone.
With this thought, Zhou Haorui's perception became clearer, his heart was more uncomfortable, and it was so sudden that he "saw" himself.
In the position where he stood, not a person, but a tombstone.
A tombstone made of broken stone, with his name engraved on the tablet: Zhou Haorui.
"Ah......h......h Tombstones, stones and stones, all made of human bones......
Suddenly, he finally felt his whole body rise violently, and really shouted: "Ah! ”
When he opened his eyes, he saw the top bed and the dimly lit bed, and he slept on his bottom bed, rising from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat.
That was just now...... Is the ghost pressed......
"What's it called, don't make noise......" Wang Jiaqi, who was on the bunk under the bed opposite, turned around and squeezed towards the wall, muttering dissatisfiedly: "It's noisy to death......"
It's just that soon, after less than a minute, Wang Jiaqi has fallen asleep again, and there is a slight snoring.
The time displayed on the mobile phone was more than two o'clock in the morning, and Zhou Haorui was still sitting on the bed in a daze, panting, unwilling to recall the weird and terrible dream just now, but the desolation in the dream was especially in front of him, making the surrounding darkness disgusting.
He wiped his face and tried to turn on the light, but that would disturb the other three to sleep, and he would definitely be scolded to death.
Suddenly, a stabbing pain in the back of his neck made him almost scream in pain, and he hissed and inhaled the cold air, how did the pain seem to be serious......
He was about to reach back with his right hand and touch it, but when he raised his hand, he found that his right shoulder was also a little painful and stiff, just like the symptoms of the cervical spine at the beginning.
"No......"
The strange feeling that had never gone away became stronger, and the worry that had not been let go also came to my heart.
Zhou Haorui frowned, raised his left hand to touch his right shoulder, and suddenly found that his left shoulder was also painful and stiff......
Progressive muscular ossification, Fibrodyspsiaossificansprogressiva
Cold sweat fell from his forehead, and some of the FOP information he had checked poured up.
There is currently no cure for FOP, not even an approved treatment.
This is a genetic disease, and the mechanism is not particularly clear. Surgery can be used to treat common hyperostosis or muscle fibrosis, but for FOP, a disease that ossifies after traumatic repair of muscles, tendons, and other tissues, surgery can cause the patient to experience explosive growth of new bone......
Therefore, there is currently only one treatment for FOP, which is to avoid injury as much as possible. Don't fall and don't do any activities that pose a risk of soft tissue injury, as even minor trauma can cause ectopic bone formation.
The life of a patient with FOP is an extraordinary process of consumption, and it is necessary to slow down the consumption as much as possible and prolong the time.
Like a statue, live to an average life expectancy of 40 years, or become a statue at the age of 20.
Yesterday afternoon in the hospital, he had acupuncture...... Acupuncture will cause soft tissue injuries, and the neck and shoulders have been acupuncture......
He also did traction, which allows the neck to relax by pulling on the soft tissues, but that can also cause injuries to the soft tissues......
However, even if it is really ossifying, how can it be so fast......
Zhou Haorui slowly moved his neck and shoulders, but he felt that he was pulled and stuck, his neck couldn't move, and his shoulders seemed to be ...... It seems to have an extra bulge. ...... ectopic bones? It's swollen, it's just a strain......
In a state of worry, Zhou Haorui stepped out of bed, his legs were a little numb, he walked to a fitting mirror that Wei Ziyang bought over there, took off his shirt, and took advantage of the dim light to check the situation on his back shoulder...... When he saw something, his muscles tightened, and his heart sank to freezing point......
There was an extra bulge in the muscles of the back shoulders on both sides, and it was like a latch on the shoulder bone.
His trembling hand pressed it again, hard as bone.
"It's a dream, it's still dreaming......" Zhou Haorui muttered, impossible, it can't be a progressive muscular ossification......
As Dr. Xiao said, it is a genetic disease, which usually occurs before the age of 10, how can I suddenly suffer from it......
The heart hurt sharply, and his head flashed violently with the kind of faintness that had appeared recently, and Zhou Haorui almost fell to the ground. I don't know why, he seems to have a premonition, saying that it is impossible, but he already knows in his heart that this is the case. It's just that he doesn't understand why it's himself, why he has this disease......
He remembered that he was still thinking about how to improve his "natural qualifications" so that he could enter Tianji University and join the Tianji Bureau......
All of them are dying.
Suddenly, a chill blew by, making Zhou Haorui shiver, but found that the originally closed window a few steps away was pushed open at some point, the cold night wind poured in from outside, and the faint moonlight did not make the room brighter, but he could see that there was a black shadow on the edge of the window.
It was a pitch-black crow with a long, pointed beak and a pair of glowing bird's eyes looking at him.
Zhou Haorui looked at it blankly, it seemed to be something unknown and intangible, completely inexplicable.
"You're sick." The crow said to Zhou Haorui, and he heard it clearly, "Petrification disease." ”
