Chapter 53: The Mysterious Girl
In the white light, I dodged the light source, and gradually came back to my senses and looked around.
Under my gaze, I was in a large white room, surrounded by many neat beds, and at a glance, there were dozens of them, arranged in an orderly manner.
Rubbing my head, I recalled my memories before I fell asleep, how I woke up here, and what happened in the meantime.
With such a question, I closed my eyes and thought that I had been with them in the east before, and if I was here, they should be nearby too.
At this thought, I immediately looked around again, but all but me had empty rows of beds.
After a few glances, I saw that there was no trace of them, and I felt even more uneasy, could it be that they sent me here?
What kind of place is this? It looks like that kind of military hospital, but I know that this will not be a military region, because we can't come to the military region, and I don't remember anything about this kind of hospital.
If it weren't for the military hospital, then where the beds were placed here, wouldn't it ......
After that thought came to me, I subconsciously looked up at the light above my head, only to feel a chill hit my heart.
Is this a morgue!?
Only a morgue would have so many beds, but I was just asleep, and no matter what they did, they shouldn't have thought that I was dead!
The gloomy atmosphere swept away my sleepiness, and all that was left was unknown, as well as these empty beds.
No, I have to get out of here, at least find them, and find out what's going on? How did they send me here as soon as I woke up?
But when he got up in a hurry, he found that he didn't know who took off the clothes on his body, and it was not a way to go out like this now, so he turned around and grabbed a hospital gown next to him and wrapped it around his body.
But as soon as he jumped out of bed, he was about to walk out along the gap between the beds to find the door of this room, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Don't go, someone is looking for you!" The voice was very childish, it was a little girl's.
When I looked back, I saw that the little girl we had met when we came back was standing behind me, but unlike before, she had a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"Is that you? How did you end up here? What about the others? ”
The little girl shook her head, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but you'll see them when you go out!" ”
"Then I'll go out now......"
"No, not now, there is someone looking for you, and after looking for a long time, it is not easy to have this opportunity to meet you, he will definitely not agree to you leaving!"
After a pause, I asked suspiciously, "Who is that person?" ”
She tilted her head and thought for a moment before finally adding, "I can't tell you because I don't know his name either, but he took me in and told us it's all the same!" ”
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, I turned and walked forward again, but the voice of the little girl came from behind me, "Why do you have to go out, maybe what he told you is important to you?" ”
Seeing that I didn't look back, the little girl said, "Don't you want to know why that strange sister is followed by a man who came out of the ruins?" ”
She talked about the place we left from, and it seemed like she knew something about the ruin.
I immediately stopped and asked her, "You said that person would tell me about the tomb we met earlier?" ”
"No, it's not an ancient tomb, it's an ancient ruin, it's part of the Courtyard, where our ancestors came from?"
I looked back at her serious face, and suddenly I felt very funny, and when she saw me like this, she said, "If you don't believe me, just wait for him to come, and he will tell you." I'm saying this just to make you stay and wait for him. ”
I thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "How did you know I would believe him?" ”
"You will believe it, he knows us very well and can give you certain answers, but only if you are willing to accept it!"
"He knows everything about me?!" This sentence reminds me of the coffin, and Qianqian, could it be that the person in the little girl's mouth is the one who is secretly arranging these??
"Of course, he knows that we have the same blood in our bodies, he took me in and told me what to do, he is our leader!"
Hearing her say this made me curious and amused, because she was still young, and the words she said gave me a feeling that she didn't belong to her.
"And when will he come?" I finally relented, and if what the little girl said was true, then this person might not be our enemy, and I had a lot of questions for him.
With this in mind, I sat down on a nearby bed, and the little girl looked up at the electronic watch on her wrist and said, "The time is almost up, and he's coming." ”
I sighed, but I wondered what kind of person this would be, why would he see me, and what would his purpose be?
I searched the surroundings unconsciously, but after searching for a long time, I was surprised to find that there was no door at all, only the black window.
So where will he come in? And how am I going to get out?
I looked at the little girl again, although the window was not big, she could come and go freely, but an adult like me, I'm afraid it was not so easy.
For a while, a lot of thoughts came to my heart, and the only little girl around me became the object of my questioning.
But when I asked her who the man she wanted me to see was, the "we" she had just said and the people who had abandoned us, and everything in the tomb, she didn't answer.
As the minutes ticked by, I don't know if she really didn't know, or if she didn't want to tell me.
When all the digits on the electronic watch were reset to zero, she suddenly looked up, and under the transparent lenses, I saw that her pupils were blooming with blood red.
In an instant, the red covered all the pupils, and a blood-red gaze shot out of it, merging into the white light around it.
When I followed her gaze and looked ahead, I saw a person, who was wearing a white gown, not of age, but who felt to be in his thirties, with a faint white on his head.
"Are you ......" I hesitated to ask the man, but instead of rushing to answer, the other person walked up to the little girl and pointed the index finger of his right hand on her forehead.
Pressed by this finger to the center of her eyebrows, the red in the girl's eyes slowly faded, and the pupils turned back to their original colors.
Looking at this miraculous scene, I retreated again and again, but the other party turned back and said, "As you can see, we are different from ordinary people, and this difference lies in the power you have seen, beyond your understanding, but I know that you were wiser than us before, and you have seen a lot more than us!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
He walked over, put his hand to me, and said, "We're all the same, we're all from the same place, just as you and everyone else see, and those stories are about us!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the light around him suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and then he took out his flashlight and turned it on again, and shone it around.
I followed the flashlight and looked over, and found that it was the same six murals I saw in the ancient tomb, in the stone room.
Top, bottom, east, south, west, north, these six murals all tell the same story, and this story is what the man just said, about "us".
I shook my head and stepped back, "It's ridiculous, I don't know any of this, how can I be the descendant of those people in the painting?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, in fact, I don't want you to believe it now, what I'm going to tell you is just to give you a revelation, an idea, believe that the existence of this idea can bring you a lot, with your wisdom, you can understand the past and the future, because you were the Cultivator, the prophet of this clan, predicted our appearance!"
I think he is talking to himself, so he doesn't dwell on this, but I can't help but think about it in my heart.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Me!" He turned off his flashlight and said in the darkness around him, "I come from a cold place, just like those mutants in the murals, in the reproduction of the clan from generation to generation, our mutations are also changing, like a virus, expanding in different directions. ”
"Maybe this expansion is to make us perfect, or conversely, to make us more monsters and more unique."
"All this I know now is what the prophet told me, that is, your previous life, you said that you are repairing some things, changing the mutation of our clan in the mural!"
"I know that it is a curse, but also a gift, that it is the Prophet who has given me strange power to rebel against those who have forsaken us"
"In the monastery, if I hadn't been rescued, I would have been abandoned in the wilderness like other children, with a lonely grave in the mountains as companions, and finally recognized ghosts as relatives, and became the kind of person who is not a ghost or a ghost."
"These are things that I only know when I grow up, so I started searching for them – people who have been abandoned like me."
"When I find all my companions, you will show up, you will take home with us, come back here again, and change everything in the moment."
"Now, I finally see hope, you're back!"
After listening to his story, I felt a little irritated, but I didn't know what to say to him, because he was all taking these things seriously.
For me, it's just a story, and there's no evidence whatsoever to prove that what he said was true.
"I ...... I think you may be mistaken, I'm not the prophet you said you were, and I never felt that my own background had anything to do with what you said. ”
In the darkness, he was silent, and after a while, he turned on the flashlight again, and in the light, his gaze was still firm, "I'm not you, there's no way to prove anything to you, but whether you believe it or not, that's all I can tell you!" ”
