I shuddered.

Because right in front of my eyes, an apparition of an insect appeared.

I didn't know what kind of insect it was, but from the black carapace, large eyes, and furry limbs, I was pretty sure it was an insect.

When I was very young, I heard the saying that if a woman is not afraid of a myriapod (such as a snake), then she must be a polypod (an insect) and vice versa.

Unfortunately, I'm not afraid of myriapods.

So......

"Ahh

After a brief shudder, I screamed loudly.

I'm pretty sure my scream must have reached the maximum decibel level I've ever reached in my life.

Needless to say, my screams drew the nurse.

When the doors of the wards were opened, the phantom suddenly disappeared from my eyes.

"What's wrong? Ms. Izmail? ”

Here came a slender young nurse with short haircuts. She turned on the light as soon as she entered, and asked with concern.

At this time, I was covered in cold sweat. But when the nurse was about to touch my forehead, I refused.

"No, nothing. Just had a nightmare. ”

I'm lying because what is happening to me right now is too fantastical to be explained by science.

An insect came to my mind and could speak, saying it had saved me.

If I were to talk about this kind of thing, I would be treated as a patient suffering from a neurological disorder.

At that time, I may have to move to the second courtyard of the capital.

I have just escaped death, and I was injured in the line of duty, and when I return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after recovery, the ministry will definitely give me more mercy.

At that time, it is not impossible to have excellent evaluations this year, and even promotions and salary increases.

I can't be called a psychopath, or I'll be ruined.

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." I lied to the nurse.

The nurse didn't have the slightest doubt about my lie, but instead showed an expression of "understanding".

"Ms. Izmail, I understand. Having suffered such a sudden change of magnitude and almost lost his life, it is indeed easy to have nightmares. However, this is only temporary, and when you are discharged from the hospital and live a peaceful life, you will forget about this pain. ”

I thanked the nurse for her encouragement.

After pouring me a glass of water, the nurse turned off the lights and left the room.

After a while, convinced that the nurse was gone, I sat up again, leaning back against the back of the bed, and turned on the light with a trembling left hand.

"Whatever you are, you give it to me!" I said in my heart.

I'm sure that "thing" can hear—if it's actually hidden in my body.

Sure enough, a phantom resurfaced in front of me.

This time it wasn't an insect, it was a figure.

People like me.

The man was well-proportioned, like a tall poplar tree. The face is slightly dark, dotted with thick and black stubble. There is a hint of joy in this face through Socratic contemplation, like a sun peeking out through a thick fog. His head was tall and wide, and his black hair, as thick as horsehair, was combed into curly locks that hung down on his forehead, and his eyebrows were trimmed into the shape of a neat dentition. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a hooked nose, large nostrils, and a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and a grin that shines brightly.

Damn, it turned out to be the look of my favorite singer, Raymond Canady.

If it weren't for the fact that the insect was too impressive to me at first sight, I would have had a crush on him (or it).

But at this point, I just want to ask, "What are you?" ”

The figure (or Raymond Canady?) He grinned again, and then said in a child's voice (yes, a child's voice): "I'm Trasolt Ottel, from the planet Alien." ”

I shook my head.

I don't have any interest in where it came from, I just want to know how it got into my body.

Trasolt Ottel clearly felt my problem. An annoyed expression suddenly appeared on its face.

"This is your great blessing and my misfortune, Izmail. I was supposed to go to the planet Elwin, but the rescue pod you were riding in while I was on an interstellar trip got in my way, and I was caught off guard and shot into your heart. As a result, my body fused with your flesh and blood, and repaired the wound in your heart that had been pierced. ”

"It was Dr. Song who saved me."

When I saw that Trasolt Otter actually took the credit for saving me alive, I couldn't help but blurt out.

Trasolt Otter had a playful expression.

I didn't expect its facial expressions to be so rich and so expressive.

"Wake up, Izmail. You don't think you'll be able to be saved after a whole day of being shot through the heart. If I hadn't mended your wounds, you would have died. ”

Listening to Trasolt Otter's words, I also realized that Dr. Song's claim that the bullet passed through my heart valve and I survived was indeed too bizarre.

But when I think about it, isn't it strange that Trasoldt Ottel said that it saved me?

Not to be outdone, I gave Trasolt Ottel a clear glance and asked, "You said you saved me, do you have any proof?" ”

"Evidence?" Trasolt Otter burst out laughing as if he had heard a big joke.

"Isn't it the most direct evidence that I'm alive in you?"

I was speechless.

Well, whether it's my savior or not – even if it's my savior, I don't want it to "live" in my body.

The thought of the shiny black carapace, the huge eyes, and the furry limbs gives me goosebumps on my skin.

"So," I said carefully, "thank you for saving me." I will repay you for your kindness, but can I ask you to leave my body? Like you said, I can treat you to two big stomach burgers. ”

Trasolt Otter looked annoyed again, and he snorted with his hands in front of his chest like a child, "Do you think I don't want to? Your weak body is not what I want. But my body has merged with yours, and from then on you and I have become one. You are me, I am you, and if you die, I will die......"

I was stunned by Trasolt Ottel's words, and I was speechless for a while.

Doesn't the words of Trasolt Otter translate to say, I am parasitized.

I can't help but think of the horror movies I watched since I was a child: "Parasitic Cang", "Parasitic Beast", "Broken Out", ...... And so on and so forth.

Trasoldt Ottel saw that I was dumbfounded, as if it had been greatly lost and frightened, and its mouth immediately pursed.

I have to say that its mature face of Raymond Canady with a childlike expression makes people laugh.

I wasn't in the mood to laugh, though.

"Hey, hey." Trasolt Otter said to me, "What a look on your face! I'm the one who suffers. Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you'd have died. And don't compare me to the mess in your mind, I'm a noble prince, you know! ”

Trasolt Otter was right.

I can't help but think of a sentence in an ancient romance novel I read in junior high school: "What you lose is just a leg, but what Ziling loses is love." Famous quotes.

Well, something seems wrong.
