Body Chapter 008: Monsters
The little nurse came quietly again, looked at the cigarette butt in my hand reproachfully, and made a gesture to extinguish it
I strangled to death in a hurry and stuffed the cigarette butt into my pants pocket "Sorry, I'm too sleepy"
She smiled understandingly, and pointed to the ward, "Your lover's injury is not too serious, you can go home and sleep, come back tomorrow, I will take good care of her for you"
Wife? I laughed to myself, she misunderstood, but how warm this misunderstanding was, the haggard husband who never left to protect his sick and weak wife should be no less than the lingering and sympathetic love story of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods
What does the poet say: The charm of flowers does not lie in the beauty of blooming, but in the waiting between glory and defeat
"No, I can't sleep when I go back"
I didn't feel sleepy, my mind was constantly working, and my nerves were highly tense
The little nurse turned to leave, and soon brought a cup of hot coffee and placed it on the windowsill
"Refresh yourself, it's still a long time before dawn"
"Thank you," I said gratefully
"You're welcome," she smiled and shook her head, looking up at the window
"How beautiful, as described in the book: the faith in my heart turned into the enthusiasm of life, and gave me countless bright eyes, even if the clouds were thick, lightning and thunder, I knew that you were there, you were waiting, yes, no kind of bad luck can grow beyond hope, how can you come to the world to hide everywhere, God said, He has given you the will to sleep, just call it to wake up......"
She stretched out her hands to the bright starry sky, "Wake up, release the spirit and power in your body, accept the flowers and tears of the world, and become an eternal monument"
I was infected, and I was strongly shocked by her mantra-like recitation
"You also believe in the existence of God and Spirit?"
"Why not?" Her childlike innocence: "I believe in all the power that can stand firm in my beliefs"
I saw Doyo's face in front of me
"If this power is evil, then?"
She thought about it seriously, "It doesn't matter, how many evil forces there are, how many heroes will appear, and they will save the world without hesitation."
I laughed "It's just a child's story"
"No," the little nurse pouted, "This is a desire of human beings to defend a better life"
After saying that, she floated away like a cloud
"I understand the world's desire for heroes, but if everyone thinks so, who will be heroes?" I muttered "In a sense, the hero is the one who suffers the most, so he has to be the first to stand up and resist painfully"
……
I thought about pushing open the door of Ward 283, and immediately there was a view that I had never seen before
In the small ward, there is a large number of irregular objects moving, which look like bare and solid rock, but also like a cloud of air, which can freely move through the floor and walls of the room
I was overwhelmed for a few seconds, then pushed open the window and looked to the left
Ahead, there is a head like a stone house, swaying and staggering between the buildings, and the arms like huge wheels disappear in the modern building of reinforced concrete, it is tangible and intangible, the skin texture is real, and you can clearly see the criss-crossing cracks
If it stops moving, it looks like a hill jutting out of the ground due to the crust of the earth
I can see the supernatural again!
This phenomenon, which once daunted me, is now very exciting
I immediately searched every nook and cranny of the ward, and with no trace of Coke, I hesitated and decided to go out and try my luck, preferably finding it before the Heroic Spirit woke up
……
After leaving the hospital, I went up the overpass along the East Ring Road, from Baiye Garment City to the Rainbow Building, made a detour, dodged the Shikui-like supernatural, and walked towards the Inhuman World Bar
I have a gut feeling that Coke is likely still there
The bar was closed because of a murder that had just occurred, so I pried up a ventilation window, got inside, found an emergency light at the counter, and groped my way upstairs
It was a mess, with cracked lamps and lamps all over the floor, broken glass like diamonds, and the soles of shoes "clicking" when they stepped on them
Pushing open the door that had been split by a sharp axe, there was a shocking white chalk silhouette of a human figure on the carpet, like a curved "big" character, and mottled dark brown blood stains everywhere, which was shocking
I pointed my emergency lights at the ceiling and moved inch by inch, hoping to find something, but two hours passed, and I ran all over the second floor to nothing
Due to the long period of looking up, my neck was so sore that I had to give up for a while
"Could it be that Coke is injured? Can't move? Still is......? "I twisted my shin sharply, and thought quickly, remembering how fierce and terrible Doyo was, and realizing more and more that it was impossible for him to escape
"Poor little thing, are you also like Lu Lu turning into white smoke and floating around?"
Thinking of this, I suddenly had heart palpitations
If Lu Lu died, it was the body that was destroyed and the soul turned into a strange thing, but what about Coke? It is a spirit in itself, a void soul, and the destruction of the soul represents the end of the death of matter, which no longer exists
I stood in front of the empty floor-to-ceiling windows and shouted "Doyo, you brute" at the dark city
The voice of grief and anger is transmitted and echoed between the high-rise buildings
……
When it was dawn and I had to return to St. Mary's Hospital, I jumped out of the ventilation window and found the giant stone clumsily turning his body in the middle of the avenue, stomping his feet again and again, as if he were going to crush something
A shadow jumped up and down on its back, like a wild horse galloping on the Gobi Desert
I immediately recognized it as the abominable monkey Doyo, who seemed to be unusually excited, changing positions from time to time and pointing at the ground
I ran across the lawn and looked out behind a car
At the big feet of Shi Kui's forklift, there was a small white monster running around, and it turned out to be Coke
"Coke is alive," I almost cheered
Its movements were noticeably sluggish and weak, and although I couldn't tell where the injury was, I knew it must be serious, and it was almost trampled under the feet of Shi Kui a few times because it couldn't dodge
I picked up a half-cut cement tile, took a deep breath, and threw it at the giant stone with all my might
The tiles pierced through its belly and fell in an arc, and the stone chased after Coke
The cola couldn't hold it anymore and staggered to the ground
My eyes were bloodshot, an indescribable force was churning in my chest, forgetting that it was a spiritless spirit, and I rushed forward to save it, but my fingers grabbed its body and thrust it into the ground
Overhead were rocky feet, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I fell to my knees to protect it
The big foot paused steeply, hanging above my head, and Doyou "swished" down a human face, grinned at me, and quickly grabbed the Coke and retracted it
I was just about to chase after me, but I was caught by two huge fingers from behind my back and thrown out far away
The moment I flipped in the air, I saw Doyou deftly climb up to Shi Kui's face and throw the Coke into his open mouth as if he were throwing a ball of garbage
