acT171: Experience the feeling of a graduate student being trapped in a ball of cotton. To be exact, this feeling has been going on for almost two hours.

Two hours earlier, the graduate student had woken up from his coma, not cold and fearful, but comfortable in warm water.

The graduate student's brain was in a state of chaos, with endless darkness in front of him, and a slight 'pop' sound from the bursting of bubbles in his ears, as if most of the senses had stopped working, and only the brain could receive the uncomfortable pleasure.

After waiting quietly for a long time, the graduate student gradually realized that something was strange, and he finally realized that it was not that there was no light in front of him, but that he had not opened his eyes at all.

The graduate student thought that the strange sensation was a coma dream, but now he could still feel the comfort around him, which left him in great confusion.

The graduate student thought of sleep paralysis, commonly known as the 'ghost press', which was very similar to his current situation.

The consciousness is awake, but the body cannot move, the eyelids cannot open, the sound cannot be made, and it is not even possible to distinguish whether it is still deep in the dream.

It lasted for a while and nothing changed. The graduate student forced himself to calm down, and in fact, the tension he deliberately created was also created, because his mind was full of comfort, and there was an almost irresistible temptation, as if he had been guiding himself to empty his mind and continue to sleep.

Instinct kept him at the last of his senses, and the graduate student tried not to feel the warmth and soothing that was concocted in his brain, and slowly turned the hands of time back according to the clues of memory...... He remembered, remembered what had happened before this strange feeling.

Song Jiu arranged for him and Yu'an to set off to find a vehicle, and the two drove on the road and drove far along the dark national highway, which was silent along the way, the distant mountains were silent, and the valleys were deep...... There are many sharp turns on the road around the mountain, and compared to the congested tunnels, the road is unusually clean, and the cleanliness is somewhat unusual.

The two drove more than 10 kilometers and still found nothing. Yu An suggested turning back, because Song Jiu said not to leave too far, this car is the only means of transportation for the team at present, gasoline is very precious, and there is no need to waste it back and forth.

The graduate student agreed. The car turned back and was about to return to the team's quarters when Yu An noticed something strange in the rearview mirror.

Yu An said, I don't know if it's an illusion, as if I saw a light flickering on the other side of the isolation guardrail. The graduate student was a little surprised, he had been driving, and when he went, he didn't notice anything unusual, so when he came back, he didn't look around closely.

Yu An usually doesn't talk much, but her mind is very delicate, since she said that she has seen something, it should really be something.

It's very close to the big army, turn back first? What if you miss the discovery? So the graduate student turned the front of the car and slowly drove back to the continuous curve marked 'accident-prone section' according to Yu An's instructions.

The graduate student asked Yu An to wait in the car, took his gun, and cautiously approached the isolation guardrail that Yu An said, and behind the guardrail was also a bottomless ravine, squinting and scanning around, he didn't find the light mentioned by Yu An.

However, the graduate student was still nervous, because the small narrow ground outside the guardrail had clear shoe prints.

The graduate student knew that Yu An was by no means dazzled, could it be that the fake woman they caught in Song Jiu still had a comrade?

With suspicion, the graduate student hurried back to the car, and was about to get into the car, when suddenly the afterglow swept to the guardrail next to him and seemed to flash a shadow.

The graduate student was horrified and hurriedly looked back, but the figure was much more agile than him, and almost instantaneously swooped in on him, knocking him to the ground with a heavy hook fist, and stumbling off the front of the car.

The moment he was hit hard, the graduate student saw that Yu An seemed to be ready to get out of the car to help, but several figures jumped out one after another from behind the guardrail, and went straight to the car without saying a word!

Everything happened in an instant, as if these inexplicable figures were waiting for them, their heads were beaten a little heavy, and the sense of crisis made him realize that this place was not suitable for a long time, so he struggled to get up, and while shouting for Yu An to lock the window and drive away, he tried to pick up the gun that fell under the car.

Yu An should have heard his shout, the windows were locked, the body trembled, and Yu An seemed to be moving quickly to the driver's seat.

However, it was still a step too late, and the graduate student heard the smashing of the car window and the abrupt stop of Yu'an's exclamation.

The graduate student touched the gun and stood up with the front of the car, but before he could raise the gun, a strong wind hit in front of him, and then his lower abdomen was cold, and a sharp knife easily pierced his coat, and the cold blade penetrated into his belly.

The graduate student didn't feel the pain at that moment, and wanted to shoot desperately, but he was grabbed by the hair and hit the car glass hard, and he was repeatedly injured, and he had no power to fight back.

The figure that suddenly appeared didn't say a word the whole time, and after a few heavy blows, the graduate student was dismantled, and he was knocked unconscious in one go.

…… The memory is interrupted here. The graduate student's breathing became rapid, and the feeling of comfort that filled his whole body became extremely strange at this moment, he clearly remembered that he and Yu An were attacked, so what was the situation now?

Why doesn't my body feel pain? Why didn't that knife kill him? Where's Yu'an? Where are you?

For the next two hours, the graduate student struggled with panic and comfort, until a beam of snow white pierced his eyelids, which ended the endless battle of the brain.

There was a bright light in front of him, very blinding bright, and the graduate student had the illusion that he was sleeping in the dormitory and was being illuminated with a flashlight by his roommate who liked to play pranks...... It's the kind of light that you can't see, but you can see.

In addition to the bursting of bubbles, there was a new sound. Immediately afterwards, the graduate student felt that he felt the wind, blowing on his face, but it was softly cool, like someone had lifted the bed in winter.

The slightest cool air slowly became infiltrated into the bone marrow, the comfort that filled the whole body faded little by little, and the closed senses seemed to return to their respective posts.

The graduate student was both excited and frightened, and he felt as if he could control his eyelids, blinking tentatively, and feeling again, but it was difficult to open them, because the light was so dazzling.

"Unplug it." Suddenly, a man's voice appeared in his ears. The graduate student was shocked, who is it?

Pull? Unplug what? As soon as the male voice fell, the graduate student felt something be pulled out of his body...... Yes, it's that warm feeling...... You can feel the warmth in your body slowly but surely concentrating from your whole body to your abdomen, and then swimming up as if you have entered your esophagus...... Further up...... Vomit...... The graduate student felt a violent vomiting sensation in his throat, followed by involuntary vomiting, the liquid gushing out of his mouth wetting his face and snaking down his skin.

Oh, my God?! The graduate student was shocked to realize that there was a tube stuck in his mouth all along? didn't have much time for him to think, this thought just came to his mind, and the intense pain and tingling rushed to his whole body like a tide, instantly reviving his ignorant and dazed brain, and his heavy eyelids seemed to have lost resistance, and he couldn't help but open them suddenly!

The bright light in his eyes caused a brief moment of blindness, and after a few moments, the white light escaped, and a pair of eyes appeared in his line of sight.

The sharp pain and tingling eroded the graduate student's nerves, and he found it difficult to think, and the images he captured when he opened his eyes made him extremely panicked.

The graduate student could only see a pair of eyes, because the other parts of the other party were hidden under the doctor's cap and mask, and those eyes had no emotion, their eyes were resting on themselves, and the deep crow's feet were clearly visible in the corners of their eyes, with a meaning in their eyes that the graduate student could not understand.

The graduate student tried to ask a question, but was stunned to find that he could not make any sound, or even feel the presence of his tongue.

Pain, soreness, tingling...... Three senses took turns stimulating him, causing his reflexes to fall into an indescribable dullness.

After a few minutes, the owner of those eyes moved his gaze to his face, and the graduate student felt a flash of ...... in the other's eyes Dissatisfied?

However, no one answered his question, the other party just glanced at him, and then turned away. There was a closing sound in his ears, and then there was silence all around, except for a warm, blinding incandescent light overhead.

The graduate student rolled his eyes, trying to look around to deflect the intense pain his body was experiencing, and by the way figure out where he was.

Snow white as far as the eye could see, and beyond the dazzling light, the graduate student could see the white roof, which he could not see from other places, because he could not turn his neck.

After trying hard for a while, the graduate student seemed to have other sensations besides the pain, for example, he realized that his head was fixed, and every time he tried to twist his head and neck, he could feel a slight squeezing sensation on both sides of his forehead.

Fear and pain are mixed together, dazed and doubtful quickly occupy the high ground, and the graduate student is stunned to find one thing, why is the pain in the body so strong, but he can't make a sound?

He tried hard to scream, even hiss, but all these efforts were in vain.

The graduate student gave up struggling, any suspicion and fear seemed meaningless in the current situation, and he thought of something, some of the things that Song Yao had mentioned.

Thinking of the man dressed as a doctor, the graduate student vaguely realized something...... What did the doctor, to himself, do?

Gradually, the intense feeling of pain slowly subsides, perhaps because the body is getting used to it, or maybe some of the effects are fading.

After some time, the sound of opening and closing sounded again in the dead room, and the footsteps approached, and the man dressed as a doctor appeared again, holding a square tray in his hand, next to his head.

The graduate student stared at him directly, hoping that he would understand what he was seeing, even if it was a word.

The doctor did not look at him, but picked up a nondescript syringe from the tray with a very small dose of clear liquid, like water.

Then the doctor leaned down, and by the time he got up, the syringe was gone. Sure enough, he injected me with the drugs!

The graduate student gritted his teeth, though he couldn't feel the masseter muscles straining at all. After the injection, the doctor did not leave as before, but turned his face to stare at the graduate student, and the eyes that could not see emotional fluctuations were like false ornaments, cold, as if staring at a stone.

What does he want to do? Thinking so, the graduate student tried to roll his eyes and ask him what he had done.

After a while, the doctor raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you feel?" "Listening to the voice, it seems to be an elderly man.

Feel? , how do you think I feel? The graduate student was furious and glared at him with a frown.

"Tell me, speak." The doctor bent down, rolled his eyelids with his gloved fingers, looked down at the underside of his body, and said, "Speak, speak." "The graduate student is puzzled, doesn't he know that I can't speak now?

As I thought about it, I suddenly felt that my throat was a little dry, and I couldn't cough up and swallow phlegm.

The graduate student's heart moved, and he said in his heart, could it be that the drug just injected awakened the vocal cords again? With doubts, the graduate student tried to speak out again, and after working hard for a long time, it really had an effect!

I still can't speak normally, but I can finally make a dry and low voice. The doctor nodded, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and continued to encourage him to speak, and taught him how to overcome the dryness in his throat, taught him to regulate the cartilage and muscles of his larynx, and even guided him to breathe, as if a rehabilitation doctor helped a patient with aphonia.

After many attempts in this way, the graduate student was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to speak, but it was not smooth, like babbling, and could only produce vague syllables.

"Does it hurt?" The doctor asked. The graduate student felt it carefully and said vaguely, "It doesn't hurt." ”

"Is it itchy?"

"It's not itchy."

"......" In the next few minutes, the doctor kept asking about various sensory feelings, such as pain, sourness, tingling, itching, etc., and after receiving a negative answer, he seemed to be a little confused, nodded, frowned, and didn't know what to think.

The graduate student felt as if he had fallen into a trap, so why should he cooperate? I was stunned in my head, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Where am I? What have you done to me? What about my companions? In the face of the graduate student's barrage of questions, the doctor just nodded thoughtfully, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Do you want to see?" ”

"Huh?" The graduate student was stunned, and the sluggish brain did not react. The doctor didn't wait for his reply, his hands were pulled out of his white coat pockets, walked over the graduate student's head, and twisted something with his hands on the side of his ears, and then the graduate student found that his head seemed to be slowly pushed up, and his eyes were slowly shifting from the overhead light to the snow-white wall opposite, and then continued to stand up and go down.

At this moment, a strange thought suddenly flashed through the graduate student's mind: Can a person lie flat and only push his head, can he see his body in such a condescending way?

His question was answered in the next moment. At the same time, all the doubts that filled my mind dissipated violently, and were replaced by horror and trembling that were too great to tear apart my soul!

！ He thought he was fixed to a laboratory table or a hospital bed, but when his eyes fell, he saw a square glass container the size of a drawer, with some turbid liquid rippling in the container, a finger-thick test tube soaked in the liquid, and a slender tube extending up from one end of the test tube...... Ripples rippled on the surface of the cloudy liquid, and a lone head was reflected in the water.
