Chapter 337: Late at Night
In the silent corridor, the sound of the clock clattering is clear to the ears, the sky has already darkened, the hospital is quiet, so the corridor is dark, out of the policy of saving electricity, a row of electric lights installed on the ceiling must be extinguished in the middle of every two still working bulbs, and the voltage automatically decreases The light is weak, only the nurse on the night shift is still on duty.

The second hand rotated rapidly, and only one tick was left between the minute and hour hands. The crisp footsteps gradually amplified, in this quiet night seems to attract special attention, but in fact, the comer all the way unimpeded, as if ghostly, not noticed by anyone, the man passed by the duty room, glanced at the nurse sitting in front of the window napping, and then looked into the room ring sweeping, as if magic, his hand has a bunch of keys out of thin air.
The man fumbled in the keychain, and finally took out a handful, stretched out his hand, and the remaining keychain returned strangely to its original place, he held the key in the palm of his hand and continued to walk, while looking at the ward on the right, and finally stopped in front of a door illuminated by a lamp, at this moment the second hand turned again, and the minute hand twisted violently, stopping at 12 o'clock.
He inserted the key into the lock and opened the door.
In the three-person ward, Lin slept soundly on his side near the door, the window next to Lyle's bed, at this moment the rain outside had stopped, the window was ajar, the white moonlight hit Lyle's hospital bed, there was a slight night breeze in the middle of the night, blowing the curtains up, the man looked at the window that was pushed open, and then stopped in front of Suzu's bed.
Xiaofan lay in front of Suzu's bed, and the two girls seemed to have gone through a secret conversation that only belonged to girls, and now they were asleep like two quiet cats, and their two cute faces were close to each other.
The man walked over, reached out and gently lifted the bangs of the bell, and the white and quiet face was completely revealed.
"Is that you, the lodger of one of the next three fragments. The man muttered strange words, his fingertips sliding from Suzu's forehead to his cheeks, and finally stopping at his chest, he pulled up his sleeves.
"I finally see you," he said, his tone quietly cluttered with confusion, and he glanced again at Lyle, who was also asleep on his left, "the most perfect coexistence, and the most perfect body, if only you had been by my side earlier." ”
"But there's no time. The words with an inexplicable sense of loneliness shattered and fell silent in this silent space.
"If you just look like this, just an ordinary girl, who would have thought that you have God's selfishness hidden in you," the man spread his palms, and the light lit up in the small dark room, and everyone was still sleeping deeply, unaware of the man's arrival and actions.
The light flickered, then faded, and the man's hand flicked away as if it had been electrocuted.
"This strange sense of rejection is really unexpected," the man was obviously stunned by the phenomenon just now, and he smiled bitterly, "Have you been rejected by the apocalypse," he said thoughtfully, and then reached out and stroked Suzu's face, "Is it so satisfied, this container, so with the same physique as her, my success rate should be very high." ”
There was a clear sound of wind outside the window, the night wind seemed to become stronger, the man withdrew his hand, and at the same time pulled down his sleeve again, the moonlight that entered the house was much darker, and the man turned to look at the second late-night visitor, who appeared here silently, crouching on the open windowsill, tilting his head to look at himself.
"What is the purpose of Mr. Second Night in showing up in the children's hospital room so late?" said Seth, in a suppressed voice, "It's not Christmas, so you don't need Santa Claus to come out in the middle of the night and put presents on the children's bedside." ”
"What is Mr. Seth's doing," Erye approached the window with an indifferent face, just as the clouds outside the window moved, and the moonlight sprinkled on the two of them like a pool of clear water, illuminating their faces, Erye looked at Seth calmly with a light smile, and Seth's face was as frivolous and playful as ever.
"As a surrogate guardian, and with my name on the bill for their hospitalization and medication, I couldn't bear to come out late at night to see if they were sleeping peacefully, out of strong concern and love for the children," said Seth. ”
"With such a valid reason, why don't you come in through the main entrance," Second Night immediately replied, "I heard you say about them earlier, this girl named Bell has a disordered memory, and has been imagining the image of a non-existent wolf with human intelligence. ”
"Well, it's very persistent, everyone says it's not impressed, but she's not sure of the wolf's existence, it's true that the situation is like this, what's the problem?" Seth cautiously descended from the windowsill.
"I'm just worried about her situation, there have been similar cases at the institute, she may have seen some scene that left a great irritation on the nerves, and then through some special impressions, the scene was mixed with other things in her memory, and a new non-existent illusion was created," said Niya, "and that kind of vision will only continue to cause damage to the nerves in her brain, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." ”
"After all, I know about this matter, so I think that if I have a fate, the other party is also from my hometown, so I'll help by the way, Mr. Seth, as the acting guardian, I can understand if I don't worry, you can just watch me from the side, I won't do anything superfluous, I'm just an ordinary researcher who came on a mission, do what I can out of humanitarianism," Seth walked back to the side of the hospital bed and stretched out his hand to touch her forehead," This would have required a certain amount of time to get her out of this illusion, but I won't stay here for long, so I can use the magic I do best to seal her unnecessary memories of this part of the disorder. ”
Seth grabbed Erye's wrist and pulled it back hard, the temperature in the room dropped abnormally for a while, and a faint white chill appeared around him, just surrounding the two men, and it did not affect the sleeping Suzu and the others. Erye's face remained unchanged and he turned his head to look at Seth, who just shrugged.
"Can I understand this behavior as the overprotective psychology of the guardian? Erye asked.
"Everyone is an adult, and some minds understand, after all, it's so late, and let someone who doesn't know you know anything about visiting without notice to seal the memory of your child," Seth said as he stretched out one hand and gestured, and the other hand locked Erye's arm to prevent him from moving, "It's not easy for normal people to accept, what do you think?" ”
"Mr. Seth, though he claims to be the acting guardian, has nothing to do with this child. The second night was not shaken by Seth's sudden rude behavior, but just spoke calmly.
"Well, let me think about what it is," Seth rolled his eyes, "I'm an old acquaintance with her sister, her sister is very important to me, and she's a sister protector, my sister will be angry when she rubs off a little skin and wants to destroy the world or something, so of course it is my duty to protect her sister in the most comprehensive way." ”
Do you think such an explanation is acceptable? Seth looked at the second night.
"Mr. Seth loves this girl's sister very much. The second night smiled.
"I'll go, you have to take care of other people's emotional problems," Setra lowered his face, "Anyway, she won't love me, you see me feeling so sloppy, first of all, this point can be passed." ”
"With all due respect, the most genuine and sincere feelings between people are never a bargaining chip, although I don't know if the word in your mouth has a deeper meaning," Erye bowed his head and apologized, "It's rude to ask you inappropriate questions." He moved his wrist, but the other party clearly didn't plan to do it yet.
"People who are better than me are everywhere, how can it be me, to be honest, Mr. Second Night, you are better than me, looks, temperament, career, everything, although it feels bleak to be next to her, so I can't imagine what is really suitable for her," Seth said, "but I can't see anyone hurt her beloved, at least under my nose." When he blurted out this sentence, the atmosphere of his whole person suddenly changed.
"Mr. Seth laughed, I'm not a good person to have feelings," Saya shook his head, "I'm just a half-leader." ”
"Mr. Niya, your jokes are also good, and you are funny," Seth also laughed, and the momentary change just now made people feel as if it was just an illusion, "You have a good heart, too." ”
"I just did what I could, when I was a child, my life was extremely difficult, I almost starved to death in the cold, thanks to someone who was willing to take me in, I was able to survive smoothly, so I thought it would be good if I could also help others within the scope of what I could. ”
"Then I think it's good for Mr. Second Night to be a knight, with such a mentality, although it will disappoint your scientific research talents. Seth followed the words in the second night's talk and asked.
"Just being a knight, nothing. "Second night said, don't look away.
The Knights are an important pillar of the whole country. ”
"It's just my personal thoughts based on my own experience, and it doesn't apply to everyone," Second Night turned his face back to smile, "Maybe I'm too arrogant, please don't take it to heart." ”
"Mr. Seth, I understand your feelings, if you really refuse, I won't force it, of course, if it is best to let this girl get better treatment in the future, then I will leave first tonight, sorry to disturb you. Erye said.
"Oh no, no," said Seth, "it's not that no, you're all here, and I'm sorry to let you run for nothing in the middle of the night, but at least give me a reason to give you peace of mind." ”
"I see that Mr. Seth is very magical, you can set magic around me on the spot, if I have any uncomfortable behavior, you can kill me on the spot, I am a researcher, I will only use my research results to benefit society and help mankind, I can vouch for my personal and professional dignity. Erye said with a serious face.
"No, I don't think I can afford such a heavy guarantee," Seth thought to himself that the other party was really a person whose speech and demeanor were not easy to show, so he let go of his hand and walked to Lyle's window to lean, this is the best angle to watch Erye to seal, "I believe you, there is Mr. Lao Erye, if this matter can be solved like this, it is also a good thing, if she keeps disturbing her, there may be a thing like today." ”
"Thank you for your trust. So he put his hand on the bell's forehead, and the light shone brightly.
Second Night glanced at Seth, who was watching from the side, at this moment Seth was in a place where the moonlight could not shine, the whole person was hidden in the darkness, only a pair of shimmering eyes were left to look at him, silent and speechless, so that people could not see that it was the noisy and frivolous man before, with a cloud of mystery consistent with the surrounding darkness.
"Count me too much, when Mr. Erye explained the reason just now, he unintentionally said that they saved your hometown, and Mr. Erye also loves his hometown and loves the Moon Night Realm. Seth said suddenly.
"It's not easy to say, I like it but I hate it," Erye said lightly, "If I have to say it, I just hate that it's no longer what I like, or it's not the way I like it." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. "Say no more about the second night.
