Silence (3)
"Alrightβ"
She threw down her phone, relieved, and seemed to have everything accounted for.
Leaning against the leaky window, the moonlight came in and shrouded her shadow over me.
She was no longer wary of me, but her left hand was still holding the book, and the gun was on the ground. After a moment's hesitation, she opened the book and looked at it, sighing softly.
The blood had seeped through the hole in the middle, and it was impossible to see.
"It's ...... What?"
"I don't know ...... either"
"Then you're going to keep it with you?"
"It's just that when I see it, I think it's important...... There is a feeling this way. β
I was shaking for breath.
"It's rude, I'll look at the wound. β
My hands were shaking uncontrollably, almost like my father's. Unwrapping the bandage, I cleaned it up with the only medical cotton I found.
Then, I hugged her.
Our shadows silently overlapped.
She didn't resist.
"Doctor, are we ...... Where have you seen it?"
I was stunned at first, but quickly reacted. Although she forgot me, she didn't know that I was the person on the rooftop that year. In retrospect, it's not surprising.
She seemed to be cold.
Time is running out.
I put my coat over her, and the white coat was quickly stained blood. I know it's useless, but I just want to do it.
"I'm a friend of Boss Qiu. I've seen you, but you don't remember me. β
β...... Oh. β
In the cold moonlight, the dust danced silently.
The suffocating silence swallowed everything.
"Doctor...... I, really, really, hurt ...... Also sleepy and I ......"
She reached out and tried to touch the gun on the ground. I suddenly grabbed her hand and tried desperately to stop her.
At least I don't want you to choose this path in front of me...... Just like I did in front of your eyes.
Although, everything is no longer able to return to the sky.
Her body temperature gradually cooled, and her vitality accompanied the blood, bit by bit, out of the shackles of her body.
β...... Night. β
β...... What do you call me?"
With all his might, Nebula slowly raised his hand and touched my face with his backhand.
As numb as electricity, as hard as iron, and as cold as ice.
I trembled slightly as if I had been struck by static electricity, but I didn't dodge.
"Saya, I'm ......"
She closed her eyes quietly and fell asleep.
Forever.
The fingertips moved down, and the touch felt like a cool tear.
"I love you too. β
I leaned into her ear and whispered.
She couldn't hear it.
The silence favored by death engulfs everything.
I dialed Qiu Miao's phone, first busy, and finally connected after a few calls.
"Doctor, I'm just busy, ma'am, she'......"
"I know," I interrupted, "remember the two favors owed to me, it's time to pay it back." β
"Can you ......"
"Help me dispose of two corpses. β
"What, you're not...... Where are you?"
"One alive. β
β...... Don't you ......?"
"The address will be located for you later. Thanks, excuse me one last time. β
"Wait, don't ...... Doctor, listen to me, Doctor!
It's quite interesting to see Boss Qiu so flustered in my lifetime, it's worth it.
I checked the chamber and there was only one bullet. Adjusting my position, I aimed my gun at myself and pulled the trigger.
The second life of such a selfish, cold-blooded doctor, who watched his loved one die painfully in his arms, is over.
This is the doctor's story.
My story.
There was silence in the room.
"This one is useless. β
The doctor took a small silver key from his bosom, tossed it casually on the table, and glided for some distance.
"It's rude, but may I ask...... What is written in the book?" Shi Xue asked softly.
"Does it matter?"
β......β
Chonglin felt that something important in his heart had disappeared and was empty.
He took the book, walked up to the doctor, and solemnly held out his hands.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"You don't have to apologize, kid. β
The doctor gave a tired smile. He also reached out and lightly clasped his eyes on the cover with one hand, and held the book with the other.
β...... I am sad. β
"You don't have to be sad, dear. You won't feel bad anymore. β
Never again.
He pulled the trigger.
Click.
After a piercing gunshot, Chonglin fell to his knees. His eyes widened in surprise.
It's a shame that those weren't purple eyes. This touching story made him relax.
The doctor retrieved the book, revealing the revolver hidden under the book.
His ever-changing gaze was cold and sharp at this moment, with the edge of a knife or the brilliance of fangs.
Chonglin's body fell forward, a blood flower blooming behind his back, and the front half of his body was soaked in the blood-colored fluid that appeared on the floor at some point.
"You! you ......"
Shi Xue gestured incoherently, and eventually, she collapsed in place.
Everyone's shock reached the point of no return.
It was too sudden.
The suppressed madness in the man's eyes was released at this moment.
"You know? I'm different from Nebula. She is most afraid of exposing her weaknesses and making her a target for attack. I'm different, I can put these fragile soft places ...... into weapons. Hahahaha...... Laughing to death, what a fool! Isn't what I said obvious enough? Do you dare to approach me, are you too naΓ―ve or do you think you have too long to live?"
He complained hoarsely, his almost crazy red eyes exposing the viciousness and danger of breaking through human nature.
"How could my prediction be wrong, fate played a big joke on me! Of course we are together, forever, in an endless amount of time!"
but they will never see each other.
He was a completely different person.
Today's doctors are closer to a devilish posture than humans.
All the roses melted.
They withered, turned into a red liquid, and overflowed down the vase.
Tables, chairs, cabinets, and walls were all trailing with long traces of blood. The liquid pools on the ground, and the entire floor turns red.
"But it doesn't matter, it's going to be over now, it's all over...... You can spend the rest of your life slowly comprehending. β
Tao Zuo Ci was the first to react, rushing towards the previously closed door, shaking the handle frantically.
The door did not move, and the rose thorns dripped his hands with blood.
Ultramarine thought for a moment, picked up the key on the table and ran there, pushing him away, and she opened the door.
The two reflexively took a step back.
Outside the door was a black cloud and red spots of light, two strange colors slowly wriggling, like the scene of hell and like the internal organs of monsters.
The bubbling blood red flowed down the open gate, and it was like a river of heaven and I didn't know where it fell.
The doctor didn't look back.
"There is no longer a path to freedom, and you have given up that opportunity with your own hands. β
β...... Even death is much better than being you. β
Ultramarines took a deep breath with a shudder.
Then, without hesitation, she jumped down.
Tao Zuozi's face was ugly.
"It's useless, she has to come back, dear. This is the victory condition β the variable must be equal to the measure. Every Guardian wants to have an end in an endless period of time, and to do so, you must be sure that you have the right abilities to reach the end.
And if the number of deaths or ability gainers does not meet the requirements within a given cycle, they are disposed of early in the first few layers. This is the role of connection, and the bond of affection is the spiritual pillar used in the tower for communication between different levels.
Conservation of energy is the principle of the World Tower. All the feelings and battles that you and I have here will eventually turn into the energy of the tower and maintain the normal operation of the world. When you think about it this way, the death of the misanthropic is really a useful thing.
Since you hate the world, it is understandable to be used by this world, right? You all understand such a simple and understandable truth, but you are still so stupidly fooled.
It's just like ...... We were back then. Alright, give it to me. β
Frost appeared abruptly beside him, just as it had been when he had disappeared.
She reached out and handed over a silver disc. Like a clock, like a compass.
The moment he got it, Frost Que's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had pressed the pause button. In full view, the guide quickly withered, like a mummy unbandaged.
Soon, the skin peeled away, revealing the white bones.
Black clothes wrapped around it, scattered all over the ground, and melted into the red water.
The current mentor is gone.
Everything is falling apart.
Like, the moment when the cocoon of the dream collapses.
The only difference is that it collapsed along with the consciousness of everyone present.
In the gradually blurred vision and the whirlwind of the sky, Gu Qiancheng clutched the edge of the table tightly. She finally understood why there were only seven glasses left on the table, excluding the new guide.
Only seven people survived.
And forever, survived.
As the cracks of black and red gradually devour the final barrier, the Doctor is like an otherworldly singer.
He held the book in his hand and recited aloud, emotionally, word by word, the declaration that belonged to the healer.
"When I was absorbed into the cause of medicine, I solemnly pledged to dedicate my life to the service of humanity. β
A cup of honor, to freedom, to shackles, to those laughter and pain, happiness and sorrow.
"I will exercise my profession with my conscience and dignity. The health of my patients will be my first priority. β
A cup of disillusionment, death, rebirth, and rebirth.
"I will respect the secrets given to me by my patients. β
A cup of salute to the light, to the darkness, to all truth and lies.
"I will do everything in my power to maintain the honor and the noble tradition of the medical profession. My colleagues are my brothers. β
A glass of salute to loneliness, toast time, toast moment and eternity.
"I do not allow religion, nationality, political affiliation, or status to interfere with my duties and my relationship with my patients. β
A cup of honors for victory, for failure, for you, for me.
"I have the highest respect for human life, from the very beginning of its conception. β
A cup of family, friendship, and love.
"Even under threat, I will never use my medical knowledge for anything that violates humanitarian norms. β
A glass of respect for the past, respect for the present, respect for the future.
"I solemnly pledge this from the heart and with my honor. β
All things are born in silence and die in silence.
It's over.
All.
