192. Family medical history
Biochemical mutation is a plot that only exists in movies, and it cannot happen in the real world. The metabolism of cells requires enough nutrients and time, and even if humans or other species really mutate for some reason, living things can never change from one thing to another in an instant.
However, now Aoki's old William, that is, Hong Zhenlong, has undergone incredible changes. In just an instant, both of his eyes turned blue, long fangs grew from his mouth, and the hair on his face was growing rapidly, growing longer at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Hong Kui, who was next to him, took Old William's hand and asked softly, "Father, how do you feel?" His face was not too unusual, he was obviously used to this situation, and knew that his father would change like this.
Huang Ziqiang was frightened, with a frightened face, where is there still half of the confidence and domineering brought by the mixture of entrepreneurs and social people. His worldview is being destroyed little by little, starting with the last time Aoki unexpectedly broke into the door to kill Jiang Deqian. He felt that his past was alive in dogs, and the fear of subversive cognition almost crushed his spirit. He began to doubt his choice, regretting why he wanted to cling to this big man from North America, who just happened to come to Wuzhong for a vacation, and happened to choose the resort he ran, and it had nothing to do with him. He also regretted why he provoked Aoki again, because he was already gone, and he wouldn't cause him any more trouble. His instincts told him that this time, he was in trouble again.
Regarding the changes in William Wolfe, Aoki was even more shocked than Huang Ziqiang. He was certainly not afraid, but surprised. It's okay to say that the eyes are blue, but the hair on the face and the fangs in the mouth are obviously too unreal.
The moment Old William opened his eyes, he felt a fluctuation in his spiritual power. That's a phenomenon that only happens when the dream space is opened. If this is a dream, then the changes in old William make sense, it is his consciousness that constructs its own appearance.
However, this is not a dream.
Aoki saw it, William's son Kui saw it, and Huang Ziqiang also saw it. If this is a dream, it means that Old William will involve all the people around him in his dream in an instant, what a strong mental power is required! Aoki thought for a moment, among the people he knew, maybe only Dewar could do it.
Before that, the only experience that Aoki had barely recognized was the collective reality dream of Matake Kitano, and now, William Sr. seems to have created something similar.
But Aoki was sure that Old William hadn't hypnotized them just now, in fact, his current physical condition was very unsatisfactory, and he had obviously been suffering from illness for a long time. His cheekbones were high, his eye sockets were deep, and he was so thin that he had almost no muscles. He was scrawny, and his withered fingers were no better than a raven's claws.
It was a spontaneous burst of spiritual power. At the moment of the explosion, the consciousness of the people around him was dragged into his dream. However, he didn't really create any other dream space, but merged with reality, because he didn't realize that he was dreaming. As a result, there is a real-life dream phenomenon similar to sleepwalking.
This dream-like state is extremely consuming of mental power.
Aoki could feel that Old William's spiritual strength was strong and weak, giving people a feeling that he was dying and his life was short, but it seemed that there was a strong belief supporting him to live, and there would be that sudden and strong spiritual outburst.
Perhaps it was this outburst that quickly overdrew his body while extremely depleting his spirit.
Old William's struggle didn't last long before it stopped. You can see that the long hair on his face is fading, and the fangs are slowly retracting into his mouth, and after a while, his eyes are black again, and everything is the same as when he started.
"I'm sorry to scare you." Qui Wolf said calmly.
"No, it's okay." Huang Ziqiang's face turned pale, and he stammered a little when he spoke, and he didn't know if it was because the fear just now had not been eliminated, or because of the nervousness when facing the world-class gang boss.
Seeing Hong Zhenlong close his eyes and fall asleep, Hong Kui made a gesture of invitation and let them into the living room to talk.
"How long has this been the case?" Aoki asked.
"It's been like this since I was a kid."
Hong Kui's answer came as a surprise to Aoki.
"Born?"
"Yes, it's a genetic disease." Hong Kui is tall and has a voice like a Hong Zhong, but he has an aristocratic temperament, and he doesn't give people a sense of oppression when he speaks, "Everyone in our family has this problem, but the symptoms are mild and severe. The disease has always been very regular, but this year my father suddenly became seriously ill. ”
"What did the hospital say?"
"Our family disease has been going on for nearly a century, and many medical experts have studied our family." Hong Kui smiled and said, "In the early days, they studied it as werewolf syndrome, but unlike other cases of werewolf syndrome, we don't really grow hair. Later, doctors thought that our illness was a mental problem, but they could not explain the physical manifestations of the disease. ”
Aoki interjected and asked, "Has anyone taken a sample of hair or something that grew out of the disease?" ”
"No, nothing." Hong Kui shook his head and said.
Aoki felt that Hong Kui's words were not finished, and knew that he had scruples, so he didn't speak, just waited quietly.
Hong Kui pondered for a moment and said, "Well, there's nothing to hide. We came to China this time to find out if there were any old Chinese medicine practitioners who could cure this disease. Although you don't look like a Chinese medicine doctor, since Mr. Huang recommended you, I will treat you as a doctor, and I will tell you what you want to know, but I hope you don't lie to me. ”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his tall body leaned forward, like a condescending beast.
"No, no, it won't." Huang Ziqiang regretted more and more that he had been involved in this matter.
Hong Kui ignored Huang Ziqiang and turned to look at Aoki.
Aoki lazily leaned back on the sofa and met Hong Kui's eyes and said, "I don't dare to say that I can cure your father's illness, but I may be able to find the reason for his sudden aggravation." ”
Hong Kui nodded and said: "In fact, whether at home or in the hospital, the surveillance has not captured our physiological changes, and it seems that those changes can only be seen with the naked eye, and the machine cannot detect them." So later, our illness became the emperor's new clothes, and all the doctors who studied this said that they did not see the long-grown hair and fangs, but the hallucinations of our family. I said that, and I wouldn't be surprised if you said for a moment that you didn't see anything just now. ”
Aoki said, "What if I told you that it was the emperor's new clothes?" ”
Hong Kui frowned and said with a little displeasure, "I don't like jokes. ”
Aoki said, "Wait a minute, you'll understand. ”
Hong Kui asked, "What are you going to do?" Any treatment plan needs to be convinced of me first. ”
Aoki smiled, "It's very simple, just let your father sleep." ”
