Chapter 138: Nightmare
"Anyone? Where is this? ”
Lin Juan trembled all over, and sat on the ground with some detachment, his eyes glazed over, staring at the light in the distance.
She didn't even have the courage to get up and walk forward, and she didn't know if she should go back the way she came, everything around her seemed to be devouring her, imprisoning her, not knowing what beast would leap out of the darkness in the next second.
"Take it easy."
A somewhat familiar voice sounded, the voice was cold, and there was no superfluous tone.
Her heart tightened for no reason, and her body seemed to have a memory, forcing her brain to relax the muscles in her body.
"It's okay, bear with me a little longer." The voice was approving, "You're different from those failures, I really didn't misread you, with your qualifications, you have a good chance of becoming the only one-"
At this point, the voice stopped abruptly and turned into a string of piercing snowflake currents.
Lin Wan stood up from the ground violently, his face full of irritability:
"Who are you? What failure? ”
Before the words fell, a sharp pain came from her temples, and her limbs were suddenly clasped by cold metal rings, Lin Wan was startled, and tried her best to break free, but to no avail.
Suddenly, the arm was pierced by the tip of a needle, and then the cold liquid was forcibly pushed into her veins.
Lin Xuan's eyes widened, trying to resist, but he only let his wrists and ankles be rubbed by the metal iron rings.
The pain from his temples seemed to be digging his brain out of a hole, and Lin Wan screamed in pain, but soon, a tooth retainer was also stuffed into her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and killing herself.
"Bear with it a little longer, bear with it a little longer!"
The voice reappeared, this time with a little urgency, and Lin Juan couldn't control the strings of tears that were falling from the pain.
"Help me, let go—"
Lin Juan stared at that little bit of light, and as her consciousness gradually became chaotic, the light gradually dimmed in her field of vision.
A moment before the light finally went out, a line popped into her mind.
Kill me.
There was a sudden violent slap on the shoulder, and Lin Juan struggled hard, and finally opened his eyes.
A layer of sweat had already broken out on the back, wetting the thin summer shirt. At this time, being blown by the air conditioner of the flight, I only felt a chill down my spine, Lin Juan raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked around the surrounding environment in a little confusion.
There were passengers sitting around, because the plane was not allowed to make and receive calls, some took out their tablets to watch a movie that had been ordered in advance, and some people held a paper book and put it on the small table in front of them to read.
Su Li sat beside him, worry written on his face.
"What's wrong with you? Having a nightmare? ”
Lin Juan suddenly felt a little distracted, that dream was too real, if it wasn't for Su Li waking herself up at the end, she almost suspected that she was going to die in that dream.
"It's kind of scary."
Lin Wan nodded, his voice still a little vague.
She had nightmares before, dreaming that she was chased by a monster turned into a loved one in an endless hospital corridor, and dreamed that she was desperate and jumped from the top of a building, but in retrospect, the latter was much more terrifying than the darkness of nothingness.
It was as if her spirit had been eaten away by the darkness.
"It's okay, it's just a dream." Seeing that her face was pale, Su Li comforted her softly with some distress, asked for a glass of warm water with the stewardess on the side, and handed it to Lin Juan, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Lin Qian shook his head weakly.
Glancing at the time, it turned out that she had only fallen asleep for ten minutes just now, but it felt like it had been more than ten hours.
At least for the rest of the journey, she didn't dare to sleep anymore.
Su Li was still a little worried, for fear that there would be some problems with the plane temporarily, but fortunately, until the landing, they were all safe.
Lin Juan's face has recovered a lot, but his gaze is still a little lost.
Su Li couldn't help but want to ask her what kind of nightmare she had, but she was afraid of arousing Lin Xuan's fear, so she finally swallowed her curiosity back.
Su Li had already made an appointment for the hotel on his mobile phone in advance when he was waiting for the flight, and as soon as he got off the plane, he walked directly to the bus stop.
Sitting on the direct bus, Lin Juan turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window that was constantly moving backwards, and suddenly felt that someone was patting on the shoulder, and when he turned around, it was a somewhat familiar face.
"See you again? It's only ten minutes apart, though. ”
It was Luo Yinhe, with a faint smile in his eyes, greeting her gently and politely.
Lin Juan nodded:
"You're on this bus too?"
This is a question that does not need to be answered, Luo Yinhe chuckled and pointed to the empty seat beside her:
"Can I sit in? There are no more empty seats on the bus. ”
Lin Juan raised her head and took a look, the carriage was indeed full, and even a few people could only stand with their handles, leaving only the empty seat between her and Su Li.
"Yes!"
Of course, Lin Juan would not refuse, and gave way to the side and let Luo Yinhe in. Luo Yinhe sat down next to her, met Su Li's gaze, and smiled at him.
is indeed a gentle character that makes people unable to find the slightest unpleasantness.
"By the way, Mr. Luo, did you also go to that drug forum? How many times have you been there? ”
Lin Wan pondered for a moment and took the initiative to ask.
It would be a good thing if they could get some information from Luo Yinhe, they accepted Qin Jiayi's invitation, except for some information on the Internet, they didn't have a deep understanding of this academic forum, but Luo Yinhe didn't.
From what channel did he come into contact with this academic forum, and why did he get the invitation qualification?
Is there anything about him that the Su Group likes?
Luo Yinhe's eyes were fixed, as if he was thinking carefully, and after a while, he shook his head and replied:
"Don't be so polite, you can just call me Galaxy. Unfortunately, though, this is my first time going. I'm afraid I can't answer some of your questions. ”
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay! I'm just asking! Lin Juan hurriedly waved his hand.
But Luo Yinhe's answer is a little weird, will he normally show that he can't answer the question from the beginning?
"What do you mainly study?"
Lin Juan changed the direction of the inquiry, and this time, Luo Yinhe's expression was much easier:
"Oh, I'm working at the Red Moon Research Institute, and my previous research direction was to develop drugs that can cure genetic diseases."
"Radical cure?" Lin Juan frowned, "Can genetic diseases be cured?" ”
Luo Yinhe smiled with his eyebrows, not in a hurry: "That's why we need to study." ”
There is some truth to this.
Lin Juan pondered in his heart, most of the genetic diseases are related to genes, Luo Yinhe This is a euphemism, but he is actually researching gene-changing drugs, right?
