Completely forgot that there was a window in the ward, even if this was the second floor, that height would not be difficult for Sheng Shiyao. But when I hurriedly pushed the door in, I found that the dark figure was standing in front of the window, and had not disappeared as I thought.

And my grandmother on the hospital bed turned her head to me when she heard the sound, and the gloom in her eyes was something she had never seen before, not even the movement of turning her head. Whether she wakes up every day is the process of opening and closing her eyes, and she won't even move her eyes after opening them. Now he looked straight at me, his lips squirming as if he wanted to speak.

I rushed to the front with an arrow, grabbed my grandmother's hand and shouted, "Grandma, are you awake?" ”

When I got closer, I found that the cloudiness in my eyes had disappeared, and my eyes flashed with excitement, my grandmother was really alive! A sour feeling welled up in my nose and went straight to my eyes, and I had been looking forward to it for fourteen years, and finally let me look forward to this day.

Grandma's trembling lips finally closed, obviously she tried many times but could not speak, this is normal, lying on the couch for 14 years, no matter who will lose the function of speech, in fact, including the hands, feet and body, may not move at first, just like a newborn baby, but this only needs to be re-learned in the future, and slowly recover.

Even if he is really paralyzed and can't move or speak, at least he is alive. My grandmother's eyes went from excitement to emotion, and finally to melancholy, to the person who had always turned her back to us by the window.

I suddenly came to my senses, forgot about him, wiped the moisture from the corners of my eyes, and said to his back, "Thank you." As expected, he didn't turn around. I gave my grandmother a reassuring look and got up and tried to walk over, but he shouted, "Don't come near me!" I was taken aback, paused and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" There are no outsiders here, I already know it's you, so I don't need to pretend to be an old man's voice anymore. ”

I noticed that after listening to my words, his body moved slightly, and after a while, he slowly turned around, "You think my voice is deliberately disguised as such old?" I just wanted to nod, but I heard him say again: "What if this is my original voice?" ”

I instinctively retorted, "How is that possible?" His voice has been heard thousands of times, and it is all too familiar, not to mention magnetic, but the dull tone and light and mellow voice are still impressive.

But when he suddenly approached, he pressed lightly on his grandmother's neck, and saw that his grandmother closed her eyes. I was shocked and asked urgently, "What did you do to your grandmother?" He raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at me, "Just pressed her acupuncture points and let her sleep for a while." Just renewed, it is not advisable to be too emotional. "I stepped forward to check my grandmother's breathing and pulse, and it was normal, so I was relieved.

In fact, I understand the meaning of his actions, that he has something to say to me, and that he deliberately avoids his grandmother. So silently waited for him to follow. Sure enough, he walked back to the window and leaned sideways to speak: "Zhou Tong must have told you that I leave every November, do you know why?" ”

Where will I know? Even Zhou Tong and Liuzi don't know. He didn't seem to want my answer, and said, "Because every year when I get to that month, my body undergoes some kind of change, and the cycle happens to be January." ”

Slightly stunned, he took a step forward and asked, "What will change?" ”

Sheng Shiyao stared at me with heavy eyes, but remained silent. I shook what he said just now in my head, and asked in disbelief: "You mean that your current voice is the change of January every year?" "Wait, he's talking about some kind of change in the body, not in the voice, right...... My face turned white, and I asked in a trembling voice, "Is your face disfigured now?" ”

Something flashed in his deep eyes, so fast that I couldn't grasp it, but I felt the oppression of the atmosphere. The guess in my mind was so shocking that my hands hanging at my sides trembled uncontrollably. Step by step, I stared at his face as I was a foot away.

In the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, Azhu has a unique skill called "Yi Rong". This is actually a kind of special effect makeup, which is divided into two modes: one is to use some special materials to make a fuss on the face, just like making a forehead wrinkle, which will make a corresponding texture on the forehead, and if you want to make the nose higher, you will fill things on the bridge of the nose, and so on; Another is very simple, make a template, and then apply glue to the face inside the template, which is equivalent to the human skin mask mentioned in the book, and the essence of this production process lies in the imitation ability and painting.

In either case, if it is a superb technician, it is completely possible to confuse the real with the fake, and it cannot be seen with the naked eye, or even touched. So even though I stared at it for a while, I didn't see an eyebrow.

At this moment, Sheng Shiyao suddenly grabbed my hand and put it on his face, and then moved down to his neck, and the tentacles were all wrinkled and convex. He said: "There are flaws in any disguise, the body temperature and blood flow of people will become abnormal after being separated by a membrane or some special materials, what do you feel now?" ”

I felt it...... normal temperature, as well as fiddling of the carotid arteries.

"If you don't believe me, then pull up my sleeve and take a look."

I did as I was told, but when his sleeves were pulled up to his elbows, I gasped, and when people get old, they will have gray hair and wrinkles, commonly known as crane hair and goosebumps, and although he is not crane hair in front of him, his skin is wrinkled. No one is going to do a full body, right? And this is not the most shocking thing for me, what surprised me even more was that his arms showed black spots one after another, just like the back of the hand I had seen before.

At first, I thought of it as age spots, but when I saw that my arms were all over it, I vaguely felt that it was not as simple as age spots.

"Surprised?" He asked me in a cold voice, and then said, "There is something that surprises you even more, be mentally prepared." As soon as the words fell, I saw him unbutton the buttons in front of him one by one, and I wondered, what was he going to do?

As he unbuttoned all the buttons on his coat and lifted the inner lining little by little, my eyes widened and I stopped breathing.

Sheng Shiyao put down his clothes with a flat expression, "Do you believe it now?" Do you still think I'm transfigurate? ”

It took me a long time to get my voice back: "How can this be? How can you ...... the totem of the black-winged bat appearing on your body? A black-winged bat with its wings outstretched and red eyes was impressively engraved in front of him, and compared to the totem tattoos that Wong Tai Sin and Chen Bing showed us, his one was many times larger, from the chest to the abdomen, occupying the entire upper body.

He said: "The totem came out of there, and at first it was just a faint head looming on the chest, then the wings appeared, and when the whole bat was complete, the color began to darken, and then the rest of the body appeared with this black spot." As you have just guessed, the changes in my body in January every year are the rapid aging of the human body in the first half of the month, and the return to the original state in the second half of the month, as if it is a kind of metamorphosis. But this time, my metamorphosis was not completed, it stopped after aging, and after three months, I couldn't change back. I don't need to explain the reason, this is the answer to your question, do you still dare to follow me? ”

Startled? No, it's a shock! Half a month of human body aging, and then half a month back to the original, there is such a strange thing in this world! It was impossible to feel intuitive, but he was standing in front of me again, and he was telling me that the way he was was had something to do with the sudden appearance of the black-winged bat totem, and that the black spots showed that the situation was still getting worse.

It's hard to speak again: "Then have you thought of another way?" Or look at ...... word "doctor" I shrank in my throat, this kind of unnatural and normal thing, it is useless to seek medical treatment, just like the symptoms of my grandmother, the doctor has been helpless for 14 years, and he can't even come up with a decent argument. But he is so powerful, he can renew the lives of Zhou Tong and the others, can rekindle the soul of Liu Yue, who is obviously dead, and can make his grandmother's strange illness healed, why can't he save himself?

Healers don't heal themselves! These five words came to mind, and although it was not appropriate for him to be called a doctor, the reason was the same. The other thing is that the present situation is beyond his power, and he is a man and not a god after all.

I think the thoughts on my face are all in his eyes, and when I showed a sad look, he slowly spoke: "Your grandmother has renewed her yang life, and it will not be a problem to live for ten years and eight years, and you don't need to go outside in the future." Don't leave it at that, and don't look for me again! ”

With that, he walked past me and behind me.

I shouted in a hurry, "Wait! He turned around and rushed over and hugged his waist, "What do you mean to stop looking for you?" Sheng Shiyao, you can't be like this, every time you exclude me from your world with such an indifferent attitude. You know what I do to you...... I like it so much, on the way back from the desert, you can see how painful I am, waiting for you in Jingzhou for three months, every day was spent in hope and disappointment, and finally came back disheartened. Today, I finally waited until you appeared, but you asked me not to look for you again, no, you must still have something to hide from me, this is not a reason for you to hide from me like a plague. ”

Becoming old, the black-winged bat totem and black spots on his body have nothing to do with me, and he doesn't need to hide from me at all. Unless it is said that these spots are contagious, but since he dares to mix with the crowd and dare to expose it to me, it proves that it is not contagious.

Three months ago, Zhou Tong told me that the reason Sheng Shiyao gave him was that he couldn't see me. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! The difference between one word means a very different meaning, why not? It has to be for something that has something to do with me.

Before I saw him, I couldn't figure it out, but after seeing the black-clothed bat totem just now, I suddenly understood that the reason for this connection with me was related to that soul city. I thought that if I left the Soul City and left the desert, I would be free from the curse of the Dark Demon God of the Bat King, but it turned out that it was not, and the curse was never removed.
