Shiki's distinctly different dress than the other researchers caught the attention of several patients, who apparently didn't look like a patient either, and his age made it difficult for them to think of a manager. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Who is this?"

"I don't know."

The approaching patient whispered to each other.

Letting the other researchers continue their work, Shiki walked over to the patients.

"Who are you?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, it was a thin boy.

"I'm in charge here."

"Huh?"

Someone looked incredulous, but the thought of the researcher's attitude towards the four seasons was reluctantly convinced.

"I don't care who you are! How long are we going to stay here! ”

An angry voice rang out, coming from a rather tall middle-aged man. One of the few adults among the many patients, Shiki remembers that the other party's profile showed that he had been hospitalized for illness before, and that he had discovered the symptoms of this unknown disease.

"Do you know how much I'm going to be delayed here!"

The man's attitude was very bad, but he spoke the hearts of all the patients.

"I don't know how much you'll be delayed, but you must stay here until the results are in."

Shiki answered his questions honestly and mercilessly.

"The result? Wait until we're all dead! ”

"There are only two possibilities for you to leave, either recover or die."

“！”

The untactful answer not only made this man, but also everyone else feel creepy.

"Ugh! Bastard! Are you entertaining me! ”

But the man dispelled his fear with anger, and he stood up, perhaps because of Shiki's age, which gave him courage, and he approached Shiki, who thought he was an elder.

"Wait a minute, sir! You can't get up yet. ”

A researcher approached and the device that had been attached to him fell off as the man's movements had fallen off, and he saw it and tried harder to pull the others off as well.

"I'm leaving! What about your principals? You are violating my freedom! I'm going to sue you! ”

"Calm down."

Shiki nodded his fingers, and the man's body was pressed back on the bed as soon as he went limp.

"Ugh! What did you do?! ”

"It's so that you don't hurt yourself or anyone else."

“！”

"You can't leave here. I'm the top person here. Because it is an emergency, even if your personal freedom is violated, it will not let you go. As for suing me, it needs to be done after the matter is over. However, I do not accept the legal sanction here. ”

Shiki explained to each other very patiently.

“！”

Of course, the man only responded with an angry gaze.

"We can't go back, can we?"

The boy who had spoken at first asked, with a cry in his tone.

"As long as you are cured, you can go back."

"But I saw a lot of people, all dressed in white, and some with guns. Get us here. Don't let us see anyone else yet. ”

"You have a contagious disease, so you can't come into contact with other people, otherwise your parents, friends, and others may also be infected.

"Ahh

Perhaps because of the hearing of his parents, the boy's expression changed slightly.

"Please feel free to receive treatment here."

"Humph!"

Suddenly, the man on the bed let out a cold snort.

"What a cure! When I don't know! When the virus broke out, you government people arrested people and killed them all! I'm sure you'll kill us all, too! Bastard! Bastard! ”

The man's emotions became quite agitated, and judging from his age, he should have experienced the "Lost Christmas" back then, so it is not surprising that there would be such a reaction.

"That kind of thing does happen."

Shiki replied bluntly, but the man who said those words was taken aback, and so did the others. GHQ did do that kind of thing, but it has never been admitted in the guidance of public opinion. And a lot of people in this country even really believe these words, thinking that GHQ is here to help them.

"But it's not the GHQ rule anymore."

"Is there any difference between you and them!"

"I'll help you."

It sounded like a perfunctory word spoken casually, but it had an indescribable weight coming out of Shiki's mouth, and even the man who had been provoking was silent.

"But everybody says we're going to be studied and killed."

"We'll study you, but we won't kill you."

Shiki looked at the others.

"Please cooperate with the treatment, only here is it possible to find a cure."

"Really?"

An old man muttered.

"The world has become like this. My son and daughter-in-law all died in Tokyo, and my grandson and granddaughter escaped because they lived with me in the countryside. I will cooperate with the treatment, but my grandchildren and granddaughters ......."

The old man covered his face and couldn't talk anymore, he cared more about his grandson and granddaughter than about his own safety.

The other people who heard the old man's words also fell silent, and the resistance that had been aroused by the man before was now filled with heavy sadness.

This is not only about what is happening to me at this moment, but also about the feeling of this increasingly cruel world.

They must not be the only ones who have this idea, this is the pain of all people in this world.

At this time, the four seasons felt this emotion very tangibly.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a mournful cry interrupted everyone's thoughts, and the boy who was talking just now pressed his face with a painful expression.

Shiki already knows from the data that this is a constant symptom of this disease, and there is an intermittent stinging sensation in the gray-green spots.

"Ahhh It hurts! ”

The boy pressed his face with one hand, and the sheet with the other, almost scratching it.

Other patients have also experienced this symptom to a greater or lesser extent, so they are aware of the pain, and the stinging pain lasts for an indefinite period of time, sometimes just for a moment, sometimes for a long time.

Now it looks like the boy's pain hasn't gone away.

Some staff on the side noticed the boy's reaction.

"Prepare painkillers."

Just as they were preparing the syringes, Shiki stopped them by waving his hand and walked over on his own.

Just as everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Shiki pulled the boy's hand away, and he could see gray-green marks on the side of the boy's face and neck.

Shiki pressed his hand on it.

"Ugh!"

For a moment the boy's face showed a hideous expression, and his black eyes seemed to glow with a turquoise light, as if there was a wild beast hiding in it. But the scene was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, the boy's face regained its calm, and the painful look he had had seen before disappear.

"It doesn't hurt anymore?"

The boy touched his face in surprise, and then turned into surprise.

"It really doesn't hurt anymore! Brother, you're amazing! You can really cure us! ”

"Hmm. Receive treatment with peace of mind. ”

"Okay!"

The boy nodded vigorously, and the others all looked at the four seasons in shock, and the original sad psychology also changed a little.

Shiki didn't say anything more, and after actually coming into contact with the patient, he had nothing else to do.

Recalling the fleeting feeling in his mind, Shiki left the room. (To be continued.) )
