"Go get gauze and iodine!" A voice urged.

"Is he in danger?"

"Probably not."

"The ambulance is coming soon, this kid is so pathetic."

"Does it hurt?"

"Am I still alive? Thank you aunt the host. ”

"It hurts, it hurts."

"Bear with me, child, I'll help you to the sofa. How did you get this injury? ”

"I don't know, it looks like a gunshot wound." Liu Qi said, pointing to the broken glass.

"Really?" The landlord walked to the window and looked at the broken glass, turned around and said, "The recent underworld is too arrogant, and it hurts civilians, and this law and order is too bad." ”

An ambulance chirped in the distance, and soon the doctors arrived, and the landlord stood at the door, watching him off the stretcher with pity.

(Why this look again?!) Am I born to be pitied?! How many people used to think of me like that!! Look at me this way!! From small to large!! Always!!! ）

He cried, not because it hurt.

In the emergency room of the Eighth Hospital, the bright surgical lights shone on him, the doctors and nurses began to be busy, and the instruments kept dripping. The doctor opened his tear-filled eyelids with his hands, shone a flashlight on him, and began the operation. In the last moments of his anesthesia, the halo blurred.

"Are you awake? Is it conscious? ”

"Hmm"

"In the box next to it was a shell casing, an empty bullet. You're in luck. ”

"I don't know how many shooting accidents have been caused by this group of nasty thugs who endanger society! Ay! ”

The wound was treated properly, and the doctor also injected him with 2cl tetanus serum.

"Don't be angry, don't worry, after three days it won't hurt at all, just a little scar."

For a long time, as the doctor said, only a small scar remained, and no one mentioned the shooting again, only he himself would recall the details before going to bed.

What kind of gun fired the bullet is uncertain, and the murderer has not been found. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of a detail: the opposite side hit the left side of his chest that was not fatal, and it was an empty bullet, why?

He didn't think about it anymore, he still lived a dull life, and he got used to it.

However, he began to change a little. Something was wrong with his health, he looked in the mirror, he had lost too much weight, and his face was deformed, but his appetite was good. He smiled wryly and turned on the TV to watch a kung fu movie.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu. You're so weird today, you're not in the mood at all. Hey? …… What do you eat in your mouth? Chewing gum is not allowed in the office, I'll take a look. ”

"Is this - a coin?"

"Huh?! - Liu Qi himself was also shocked, and spit the coin into the palm of his hand in the eyes of his colleagues.

"Do you have pica?"

"I don't know ...... either"

"Eating this kind of dirty stuff, oh, this person is really ......"

"We need to stay away from him, this person is not normal......"

"It's just ......"

“……”

Countless whispers came, and he was not angry, but listening.

"Some kids eat lime, they eat stones, they eat nails -- I've heard of that, what about him?"

"I know, pica eats because there's something missing in the body."

"Is that iron deficiency? Or is it nickel shortage? ”

……

Liu Qi put the coin in his palm, flipped it over and over again, looked at it carefully, and after a while, swallowed it again and pressed it under his tongue.

When he got off work, when he faced the window panes of the shops on the side of the street, he found that he was thinner than before—his cheeks were concave and pale.

"I'm going to the hospital, take a leave of absence......"

The doctor said that he was not sick, maybe he was too tired and needed to rest more. "I'm healthy, that's what the doctor said." He comforted himself.

No matter how busy he was at work, it was impossible not to find that he was slowly deteriorating, he was even thinner, he began to be indifferent to everything, and he didn't even bother to speak. In fact, there was some kind of equilibrium in his body, and the weight loss began to stop, but his food continued to increase until he realized that he was sleepwalking one night.

"It's ...... What! ”

He was actually radiating blue light with his eyes on the black-and-white TV.

"I'm radiating!"

"No, I'm sucking!"

He instantly felt like 100 radios were working at the same time, what did this mean? Iron, magnetic, is saturated, am I going to be magnetized? Just when he was thinking so, he got up from the bed and looked at the time, it was morning, yesterday's dream was really weird!

Radiology Department of the Eighth Hospital.

"This is the blood test list, let's go to the second floor to get blood drawn now. Then come tomorrow to get the results. ”

"Okay."

"Strange thing!" Less than an hour after Liu Qi left, the doctor suddenly came to say this.

"Do you know what I found in his blood?"

"What?"

"You won't believe it! See for yourself! ”

The doctor smeared a sample of his blood on a slide and placed it under a microscope, and with a motion of the knob, he couldn't believe what he saw, rubbed his eyes and looked again, and the hemoglobin he saw at 200 times magnification was actually gear-shaped, round wheel, and crank.

"What is this!"

"Third blood smear."

"Whose blood is this?"

"The lad."

"Heh, it looks like I'm going to find the dean. This man is not normal. ”

"I think so too."

When the president learned of the news, a special committee was set up and the situation was reported to the ZF high-level, who immediately issued an order to monitor and control him.

He dreamed again, he dreamed that in a dark underground garage, where there were human-shaped targets and sandbags, he punched those sandbags and broke the boots into two sections, so the depressed mood was released gradually, he liked this, liked this kind of exercise, otherwise he would not be addicted, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable, he himself did not know why he liked this feeling.
