"Xie Zhi! There are two minutes left! I can only hold on for two minutes!"
When Wang Dazhuo's high-pitched voice reached Xie Zhi's ears, only a low whimper remained.
This is not because Xie Zhi has run far enough in just a few dozen seconds. In fact, this time is only enough for Xie Zhi to run from the guardrail on the fifth floor to the nearest intensive care unit.
But it was in this intensive care unit that something went wrong. From the moment Xie Zhi stepped into the small intensive care unit in front of him, he was surrounded by wildly growing vines in all directions.
Those crazy vines spread rapidly from the depths of the intensive care unit, from the hospital bed in the depths to the floor, to the walls, to the ceiling, and even spread to the half-open door in an instant after Xie Zhi approached the room. The opening and closing door leaves are like brushed adhesive, filling the gap between the wooden door and the wall.
And when Xie Zhi looked carefully at the vines, he found that among the layers of vines, human faces covered with wood grains were floating like ship fragments in the waves!
"Two minutes...what can I do in two minutes?"
Xie Zhi sighed. He didn't know whether his luck was good or bad. The good thing was that he only opened the first of the six intensive care units on the same floor and found the source of the pollution. But the bad luck was that the situation in front of him was obviously not a good sign.
The first, second and third screams only affected passers-by in the hospital, transforming their bodies and minds into strange activated wood sculptures that would attack people nearby indiscriminately. But the current situation has directly affected the environment in the hospital. , those desperate emotions are attached to the ceiling, walls and floors, directly transforming the entire surrounding environment in ways that ordinary people cannot understand!
Xie Zhi pinched his nose to wake himself up.
Two minutes, think about what you can do in two minutes...
But it didn’t take long for this sobriety to turn into irritability.
Two minutes! What can I do in two minutes? ? ?
Xie Zhi sighed and hit his head hard to drive the irritability out of his mind. Then he raised his head and looked around.
Vines, vines, vines.
The only good news is that there are no active wood sculptures in the intensive care unit. All there are are two intensive care beds. The one close to me is empty, and the one far away from me is placed deep in the intensive care unit. , on the hospital bed was an old man... staring at him.
Yes, an old man staring at Xie Zhi. When Xie Zhi looked at the old man, he found that the old man's eyes were staring at him motionlessly, making him feel hairy all over.
Xie Zhi noticed that the old man's hair had fallen out.
There was a complex emotion in the old man's eyes. In such emotions, there was hatred, anger, grievance, and endless sorrow.
They are not the original meaning of despair, but they are mixed together to form a collection of despair.
Xie Zhi didn't know why he could distinguish these from one look, but when his eyes unconsciously zoomed out, from the old man's eyes to the old man's whole body, he found that all the vines came from the place where the old man was. It spread out on the intensive care bed, and the old man's body was wrapped in thick colors.
Yes, colors, those thick, colorful blacks.
This was the first time that Xie Zhi saw the colorful black in the Internet jokes in his previous life. To be more precise, it was not colorful, but various blacks with different concentrations. Each black would change under the illumination of the light. There are different degrees of reflection of different colors, and the final result is black, but the black is mixed with other colors.
Although there is no accumulation of knowledge about this "black energy wrapped around the old man", Xie Zhi understands that the black energy is the manifestation of emotional energy. Those different shades of black represent different negative emotions in the old man. With the influence of the emotional detonator, the negative emotions are extremely stimulated, and eventually burst the old man's body and become a wrapping outside the body.
Xie Zhi clenched his fists. He was thinking whether he should try his best to turn on the blue fire mode and give the old man a sudden blow on the back of his neck before he could react, causing him to fall into coma. But after thinking for a while, Xie Zhi gave up the idea.
On the one hand, it was because he couldn't do it, and on the other hand, Xie Zhi felt that even if he could do it, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.
Xie Zhi looked at the top of the old man's head.
He knew what that baldness meant.
The old man's body was thin and gaunt, his eye sockets were sunken deeply, and he was just staring at himself.
Xie Zhi sighed.
Yeah, that means chemotherapy.
After chemotherapy again and again, he finally could not resist the invasion of cancer, and time sent the old man to the intensive care unit again.
This is the intensive care unit and the countdown to the end of the old man's life.
Time passed by second by second, and Xie Zhi stood there, thinking about what he could do in this situation.
But suddenly, a scene that surprised Xie Zhi happened.
Xie Zhi clearly felt that his body was not moving at all, but the distance between him and the old man deep in the intensive care unit was getting closer and closer.
As soon as Xie Zhi lowered his head, he discovered the reason for this scene.
Under his feet, the surging vines were like waves on the sea. They surged layer by layer, and this surge was like an escalator, transporting Xie Zhi closer and closer to the old man!
Xie Zhi thought about whether to escape, but then he discovered that the vines did not bind his feet, and the transmission of this vine conveyor belt seemed extra gentle, as if he was holding a...pearl in his palm?
Xie Zhi was getting closer and closer to the old man, and Xie Zhi could even clearly see the continuous age spots on the old man's face.
"Ho ho..."
There was a sound coming from the old man's throat, but the sound was like some kind of tire leak. Xie Zhi took a closer look, and felt uncomfortable in his heart because of this sight, because Xie Zhi clearly saw that the old man's throat was There is a tube attached to it...
"Are you... having a problem with your throat?"
Xie Zhi carefully organized his words.
But the old man's answer was just some kind of hoho sound. Xie Zhi realized that such a whooshing sound was somewhat similar to the screams he and Wang Dazhui had heard outside before. They were both equally old and hoarse, and it seemed as if their throats were filled with foreign matter.
Xie Zhi couldn't bear to close his eyes, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was actually a kind of escape, so he opened his eyes.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Xie Zhi. The old man in front of him slowly and feebly raised his hand.
Xie Zhi was shocked and didn't know what the old man wanted to do, but he subconsciously put his hands on the old man's raised left hand. The old man's left hand held Xie Zhi's hands. Xie Zhi only felt that the old man's palms were old and cold.
"What do you want to ask me to do?"
A new round of whooshing sounds came from the old man's throat. Surprisingly, as Xie Zhi's hands were placed on the old man's left hand and held by the old man's left hand, Xie Zhi could actually understand those whooshing sounds. What does the ho sound mean? It was as if the sound was transmitted to Xie Zhi's palm through the old man's palm, and then directly displayed from Xie Zhi's palm to Xie Zhi's mind through the flesh, flesh and meridians!
"you……"
"You must be the doctor who came to save me..."
"help me……"
"I don't want to become...an emotional monster..."
"Let me go..."
"I've lived long enough, let me die..."
"Don't save me anymore...chemotherapy is...painful..."
The raging despair poured into Xie Zhi's body along the old man's left hand in an instant!
Those thoughts coming from the old man, and the different shades of black on the old man's body, all at this moment, like a flood that opened, washed away Xie Zhi's consciousness!
Xie Zhi's eyes suddenly widened!
But this wide-eyed stare was not due to seeing anything. In fact, the moment this indoctrination began, Xie Zhi could not see anything in his eyes.
Xie Zhi only saw that the old man, the hospital bed, the ward, and the covering vines were all torn apart and pulled away in an instant. In just a moment, they were pulled to an infinite distance by an unknown force!
The only thing left in Xie Zhi's eyes was infinite black.
It was a kind of empty nothingness.
Nothing.
And this empty nothingness did not last long.
It's like a basketball was thrown into the sky, stayed for a moment at the highest point it could reach, and then fell faster and faster, falling from one person's hand to another person's hand.
In the endless darkness and nothingness, Xie Zhi saw a ray of light.
This beam of light is getting closer and closer to him, as if Xie Zhi is falling from the dark sky to the bright ground.
That's a room.
Xie Zhi fell into the house.
"Where am I..."
Xie Zhi opened his eyes again.
This feeling was amazing. One second, he could feel his eyes widening, even a little dry, and the next second, his eyes opened from the closed state and saw a whole new world.
No……
The most pressing question is not where I am...
But...
"who I am?"
Xie Zhi felt that the cold feeling on his back disappeared. And when he looked at his hands, his hands turned into a pair of old arms.
Xie Zhi's skin is loose, there is no muscle on his arms, and age spots are everywhere.
"I...ho, ho, ho, ho..."
A creepy feeling rushed from Xie Zhi's tailbone to Tianling Gai.
Xie Zhi found that he was speechless, as if something was... stuck in his throat.
I became...the old man on the hospital bed...
"Ho, ho, ho..."
Xie Zhi tried hard to speak, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only make meaningless sounds in his throat.
Yes! I'm in the hospital bed! I became that old man! ! !
