"your ......"

Adai ran with a look of anger and anguish.

Although the abdominal injury was barely healed, the pain could not be suppressed.

The loss of the wound on the right arm also led to massive blood loss.

This level of injury is not fatal, and there is still the possibility of losing consciousness.

"What's the matter, kidding......!"

Invectives sounded emptily on the road in the twilight of the sky.

Adai, who fled all the way, took off his hooded jacket and roughly bandaged the wound on his right hand.

It is estimated that there is no longer enough physical strength to heal the wound on the cutting surface. You need the help of a third party to recover.

Therefore, there is naturally only one place to settle for this escape.

A large gray building in front of you - Tian Hospital.

Before Ah Dai met Qiu Yin and the two on the road, he had planned to go to the hospital. It's just that the sudden sneak attack has changed her position, from a visiting party to a seeking medical treatment.

Entering through the entrance of the main entrance is too blatant, and the remaining reason tells itself. So Adai went around the back door to the underground parking lot. From there, take the elevator for staff.

「…… Hmph, it's really miserable......

After the elevator door closed, Adai leaned against the wall and laughed at himself.

The lost right arm will be a way to replenish the lost physical strength in the future. For the deer people, who have a body far stronger than humans, the most effective way to restore their strength is to administer a large amount of nutrients such as glucose and vitamins. After supplementing the nutrients, sleep first, and wait until you wake up to see that you need to replace your arm, or simply replace the whole body.

"They...... What is the purpose?"

Adai muttered to himself.

After stepping into the hospital, Adai gradually regained his composure.

But it seems too difficult for her to draw conclusions in a short period of time. Qiu Yin, who thought he was a comrade-in-arms, suddenly retorted, Nangong seemed to approve of Qiu Yin's actions, and Li Qi appeared, where should he go in the future? Adai's mind was not shrewd enough to draw a reasonable conclusion on the spot.

The elevator reached the fourth floor.

In the air filled with the smell of medicine, Adai went straight to the consultation room.

After skipping the step of knocking on the door and opening the door directly, Dr. Tian, who noticed that there was a visitor, stopped what he was doing and got up and left the chair.

"Adai? What happened to the injury?"

Dr. Tian squinted in surprise.

"Did you fight with Ye Yada again? You're really not a good learner."

"Unfortunately, the facts are not what you guessed."

Adai sat down on the bed.

"Anyway, help me with my wounds."

「…… Really, skipping the instructions to ask someone to treat the head is still just as arrogant."

The doctor sighed, but did not refuse Adai's request.

"Stretch out your right hand, and you won't need to take off your clothes."

Adai obeyed and stretched out his right hand.

Dr. Tian unfastened his hooded coat wrapped around the wound.

Except below the elbows. The wound was also stained with mud.

"What about the other wounds?"

"No. I've healed myself."

"Hmm. Then I'll just help you stop the bleeding, right? Next, follow the standard procedure and apply the nutrients."

After Dr. Tian got up and brought the equipment, he began to dispose of it in an orderly manner.

The first action is to wash the wound.

"Which do you choose, scalding the wound or tying it up?"

"Just wrap it up. I can't stand the heat now."

"Really...... Well? Wait."

Dr. Tian suddenly stopped.

Then he unhurriedly took out a scalpel.

"Hey, what are you doing that? Is it necessary to go under the knife?"

Adai frowned.

"You didn't notice? No wonder you are. ...... on your back Is this glass? There's a piece of shards stuck inside."

「…… Tsk."

Adai smacked his lips, I'm afraid he left it during the fight in the park.

"I'll help you take it out by the way, get on your stomach."

Trouble is trouble, Adai is still obedient. I have asked Dr. Tian to help treat him several times before, and I feel that he has a perfectionist tendency and refuses to let go of any small flaws. Ah Dai only thinks that his mother-in-law is just a shard of glass, and he can't die if he doesn't leave it alone.

I felt a slight pain in the area of the left shoulder of my back where the skin was cut.

"That's it. Do you want me to put on an OK bandage for you?"

"Don't worry about those inconspicuous little injuries. Hurry up and find a way to get my hands done."

"Understood."

The process that followed was very quick.

Bandage the wound. Then three injections were given in quick succession. The procedure was completed in just a few minutes. Even from the time the wound was cleaned, it took less than ten minutes.

"What are you going to do with your right hand? Do you want me to help you find the body?"

"Let's do it first."

In other words, it was Adai in the past, who had already gone to the road and randomly captured women for ritual purposes. However, considering his current situation, he should not act so rashly. The prosperity faction and the main family side cannot be trusted.

"Anyway, what caused you to be so badly injured again?"

Dr. Tian packed up the medical equipment at hand and asked with a surprised expression.

"You said you weren't fighting against Ya. In that case......

At this time—

A burst of electronic sound filled the room, as if the moment had been seized.

It is an intercom in the room.

"I'm sorry."

Dr. Tian picked up the earpiece on his desk.

After responding two or three sentences, his tone took a turn.

"What?"

After Adai cast a surprised look at Shinoda, he glanced sideways at him for some reason.

"No, it's okay, I'll go. Also, I take full responsibility for this."

Dr. Tian ended the call with an inexplicable and terrifying breath, and turned his head to face Adai.

「…… Are you the one who brought this turmoil?"

"What are you talking about? What's ...... back?"

Dr. Tian looked nervous and said, "Something happened to his ward."

Suddenly—

「……！」

Adai's face changed dramatically, and he stood up suddenly. I didn't confirm it with Dr. Tian, so I turned around and ran away.

"Hey, wait......"

Dr. Tian's stop can be listened to.

- "Him".

In Adai's cognition, there is only one place that the synonym of this hospital represents.

"Is it difficult for them to ......?"

Adai gritted his teeth hard, and his calmness was long gone. "He" had a reason to make Adai completely lose his cool.

No, there is no more distracting question for Adai than whether he is Antai or not.

Adei rushed through the hallway to the safety ladder.

There was no time to climb down one step at a time. Roll over and jump over the handrail and land at the corner of the stairs on the third floor.

If Adai had been an ordinary human and not a deer, he might have imagined such a state of affairs long ago.

Qiu Yin knew about the existence of "him", Adai's lover, and deliberately asked some inexplicable questions. Moreover, she also has a history of ambush in the park. From this point of view, Qiu Yin is likely to murder him who lingers on the sick Yang.

But for the deer clan, that's beyond common sense.

Just because they are skilled, they don't need to use hostages as collateral to win the victory-

It's just because their concept is that a dignified and upright duel is the essence of the struggle-

Adai didn't believe that such a thing would happen.

Furthermore, she didn't even understand the reason for implicating him.

She opened the security door and went to the general ward on the third floor.

Although there were several nurses and patients on the road, Adai still rushed forward. Because of the speed beyond human imagination, it wasn't until after Adai had passed that they noticed a figure flashing by.

As soon as the door to that ward opened, Adai rushed into the room.

「…… Rick!"

Adai shouted the lover's name in a voice that bordered on screaming.

But there was no response.

What catches your eye is a familiar scene.

A hospital bed, and a teenager lying on top with his eyes closed.

The boy was fitted with an artificial respirator, and the catheter extending from it was connected to the large instrument next to it. The tube on the wrist is dripping. His expression was very calm, and he did not respond to Adai's shouts.

He, Adai's lover, has been in this state since half a year ago.

However, Qiu Yin and Li Qi were nowhere to be seen in the ward.

"Li Ke......"

Adai froze in place, panting and looking around the ward.

The life support was still functioning normally, there were no signs of forced entry around, and on the table next to the pillow were still the paper cranes that Adai had folded halfway last night and a stack of colored paper.

「…… What's going on?"

The words that Dr. Fang Caitian said.

He did say, "Something happened to his hospital room."

But as far as Adai could see, the condition of the ward was no different from last night, and there was no difference—

That's when ......

Slap sand.

Something fell at Adai's feet.

"Huh......

Adai looked down at the floor, startled by the sound - no.

Adei was not frightened by the sound, but by the sudden loss of balance in his body.

"Ah...... Huh?"

Adai looked confused. Even so, I still feel a dull ache in my body.

Adai turned his gaze to his left shoulder.

The rest of the book is gone.

Reflexively looking back at his back, there was no one behind him.

Apparently not under enemy attack.

「…… Yes? This ......."

Adai's expression changed. She finally grasped the situation, but she didn't understand the meaning.

Because—

The condition that will fall is -

Compared to the serious injury, the pain is not obvious, and the pain of this nerve as if it has been paralyzed is-

Far from healing, the strange phenomenon of the injury slowly spreading is-

"Adai, are you there?"

Voices came from the speakers of the intercom installed next to his pillow.

It's a man's voice.

Although it was muffled and not very clear, it was still quite familiar to Adaid's ears.

"Doctor Tian."

"I'm sorry, but I've locked the door to the ward."

Although the tone is still indifferent, there is no emotion in it.

"It's ...... How ......?"

Adai, who was overly stunned, couldn't even move her liver fire, but she still couldn't help but ask Dr. Tian on the other end of the line.

"What do you say is going on? This...... This wound is ......."

The wound is slowly growing. The extent has passed beyond the shoulders and begins to erode the collarbone.

Dr. Tian confessed bluntly, "I'm sorry, but there were no glass shards on your shoulders at all."

So, that scalpel is ......

「…… The sword?"

- Is part of the blade pretending to be a scalpel?

Ignoring Adai's astonishment, Dr. Tian continued to declare, "You should stay in that ward, this is my advice. What I just injected into you is not a nutrient, but an anesthetic. I'm deliberately letting the effects take on later, so you're holding on for now, but you'll soon lose consciousness.'"

Quite well thought out.

"In view of Nangong's example before, I have also adjusted the strength of the potion, and the effect will last for about an hour. So...... You're running out of options, and I suggest you stay in that ward and meet the time of death.'"

The purpose of the diagnosis is only a façade to create wounds with the sword.

In order to prevent Adai from getting out of control and making a fuss, he did not forget to inject anesthetics.

Using her lover's abnormal condition as a bait to isolate her-

"Don't blame me, this is how humans fight."

"Why, do this...... You guy."

The body began to disobey. Perhaps it is due to a growing wound, or it may be the effect of anesthetics.

"Why, kill me......

This is Yaya...... No, is it Xia Jing's ghost idea?

Otherwise, it will be difficult to -

「…… Is it Autumn Yin?"

His body shook a little, and he was no longer able to support his body.

What I saw in my eyes was the face of my lover Li Ke.

After staggering and shaking several times, Adai's body collapsed on the hospital bed where he was lying.

His head was pressed against his lover, and the sound of an artificial respirator coming out of the mask was in his ears.

"Rick. This is not true...... I ......."

She muttered unfinished sentences, her consciousness gradually dimming.

I'm dying?

Will I disappear from this world?

When I'm dead, this guy - what is he going to do?

My lover has no relatives and no one but me will take care of him, what will happen to him?

"Adei."

Shinoda's voice came over the speaker.

"Although it's too late...... But I still have to say that you and Li Ke must be a good couple who envy others.'"

Adai opened his mouth and said, "...... Isn't that, stupid."

Listening to the sound of Rick's heartbeat, Adai lost consciousness halfway.

......

One hour and fifteen minutes later.

Dr. Tian unlocked the door of the third-floor ward.

Open the door and step inside.

The ward was filled with the smell of blood and oxygen.

A brain-dead patient lying on a hospital bed came into view.

The sheets covering him were stained with blood.

Adai's body was nowhere to be found.

"Gnawed? It's cruel."

No one in the room heard the muttering, which seemed to be nothing to do with themselves.

Dr. Tian strode forward to the bedside and settled down beside the pillow.

Then Dr. Tian said—

After standing quietly for about a minute as if in prayer, he opened his eyes again—

Reached out and turned off the power to the respirator.

......

It's so much trouble today, it's just exhausting.

Anye thought to himself with a wry smile as he walked home.

Up to singing karaoke, the process was quite pleasant, and when I found out that Ye Ya and Xia Jing were almost intimate, the atmosphere was pushed for a while.

However, they never expected that before they became intimate, the whereabouts of himself and Anai would be exposed along with Lin Yu. What's even worse is that this move completely angered Lin Yeya. If it weren't for Xia Jing to help calm Ye Yadi's emotions, I'm afraid I would have to listen to her babbling for more than an hour.

It's just that although Xia Jing came forward, it doesn't mean that he is a comrade-in-arms on the same front. In one level, he may be more difficult to deal with than Yaya. "You remember this account for me," he sneered and let it down.

I don't know how he will retaliate when he goes to school on Monday - Bacheng will use his black-hearted skills to harass her with some cautious means.
