The pain in his chest was so real that Li Liang could even feel the burning of the muscles where the blade had pierced, while the temperature in his whole body seemed to gradually dissipate with the dizzy blood.
He made an unconscious sound in his throat and slowly sat down.
Everything around him began to twist and break, including the ward, the sunlight, the faces of his younger brother and the prisoners, spinning and collapsing like a kaleidoscope. Then, he saw a man shrouded in a black cloak.
The man was standing in the darkness, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, and he was muttering some kind of weird language in his mouth, which was both like chanting and talking to an indescribable existence.
Li Liang held the dagger on his chest tremblingly, his mind went blank, except for a vague consciousness: "I might be dead." The past flowed before his eyes like a slideshow, and drifted away like smoke.
Suddenly, a voice sounded nearby: "Oh? Honorable Li Liang, you are injured... Sir, did you hurt the distinguished Li Liang?"
A muffled groan came.
In Li Liang's blurry vision, a metal face with soft lines appeared, which seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.
Then the world fell into darkness.
——————————
After an unknown amount of time, Li Liang woke up from his chaotic dream and vaguely heard two people arguing beside him.
"Doctor, if the noble Li Liang is not properly treated, in accordance with Xi'an Company's S-1 safety protocol, I will automatically be authorized to impose the death penalty on you immediately without having to accept inquiries from the relevant regulatory authorities under the New Order Joint Conference. .”
"I've told you countless times, he only had flesh injuries, not any organs!"
"Doctor, if the noble Li Liang does not receive proper treatment, follow..."
"Are you a fucking repeater converter? I said it! Properly! Very properly!"
"...According to Xi'an Company's S-1 security protocol, I will automatically be authorized to impose the death penalty on you immediately without having to accept inquiries from the relevant regulatory authorities under the New Order Joint Conference."
"If you dare, shoot me now. Come here, take this big knife. Come here, chop me like this."
Judging from the voices, one sounded like Leah, and the other sounded like a man's. They sounded angry and louder and louder.
Li Liang frowned and slowly opened his eyes. A rough, unshaven face suddenly appeared in his field of vision. His mouth moved and he cried out:
"Brother, brother, you finally woke up. If you don't wake up, I will commit suicide. This robot of yours is a fucking repeater. It's too scary, brother."
The face was pushed aside and replaced by Leah's face. She smiled and said, "Oh, distinguished Li Liang, you finally woke up. Thank you Xi'an and thank you to the law-abiding doctor next to you."
"Fuck you!" A curse came from the side.
With the help of Leah, Li Liang struggled to sit up and leaned on the bedside. He found that this was a room on the Defiant, more than ten square meters in size. The two doors on the left and right were closed. There were medicine cabinets and drips in the room. Stand, and a crude semi-automatic surgical instrument.
Although the walls and floors were still mottled, and there were moldy stains in the corners, it was much cleaner than other places, like a private clinic.
There are no clinics for treating humans in Zhongjing anymore. They are all fully automatic surgical machines. Just register a number on the communication bracelet and wait until the time comes. Nano-robots can directly go to the lesions to deal with all kinds of problems.
The "doctor" who had been tortured by Leah was wearing a dark green gown that was almost washed out, and was squatting in the corner cursing.
Touching the bandage wrapped around his chest, Li Liang understood that it was Liya who saved him, and he found a clinic and forced the doctor to treat him.
But who is that man in black robe? Why did you assassinate yourself, and more importantly, what happened in the scenes before you were assassinated? Li Liang didn't believe in witchcraft or magic, so he thought it might be a hallucinogenic drug.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the man in the black cloak?"
"Here," Liya pointed to the corner under the medicine cabinet, "I have subdued the murderer to ensure that he can no longer hurt you, noble Li Liang."
The doctor squatting in the corner snorted: "This guy's injury is much worse than yours. Brother, who is this? Are you sure you don't need to worry about him? Tsk, tsk, it looks like a lot of ribs are broken to me."
Li Liang turned around and looked around the room, then said to Liya, "Come here, bring me that kettle."
"Would you like to add some water and salt?" Leah handed over the kettle.
Li Liang took it and threw it towards the unconscious black-robed man. Boom, the man twitched unconsciously.
"hiss……"
When the wound was pulled, Li Liang gasped in pain and cursed, "It's your uncle's fault."
He couldn't help but be afraid. If Leah hadn't happened to be hiding in that passage, he would have been dead. The hallucinogenic drug was so powerful that he didn't even know when he was infected.
Just kill him, and create an illusion to let his brother kill him with his own hands. It's so abominable.
boom!
A chair was thrown at him, and this time the man fell down without even twitching.
"Do you still need to keep throwing it?" Leah smiled and picked up an IV pole again, holding it in her hand like a spear.
The doctor in the corner shrank back and muttered: "It's so tragic, how hateful this is."
"No need," Li Liang waved to Liya, and then said to the doctor, "Thank you, brother, if you can just give him a simple treatment and wake him up, I have something to ask him."
"This...can't be cured and shot? This guy is a little bit tired," the doctor asked timidly.
Li Liang gently rubbed his stinging chest, frowned and said, "No, it's best to be cured to death, the money will be calculated separately,"
"Okay," the doctor stood up, pulled the man in black robe onto the semi-automatic surgical instrument, and tore off his cloak.
Under the shadowless lamp, the man's appearance was clearly revealed.
"Fuck, this guy is so ugly." The doctor exclaimed.
"Oh, noble Li Liang, it turns out that the creature that attacked you is not human," Liya said with a smile.
Li Liang endured the pain, walked out of bed, looked at the man's face, was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "What the hell?"
It was a face similar to that of a human, but definitely not human. It had cement-colored skin, a narrow forehead, huge closed eyes, and the corners of the eyes opened almost to the base of the ears. The bridge of the nose was straight and the wings of the nose were wide, but the lips were very thin. All in all, the proportions were quite awkward. , does not conform to any kind of human race, no wonder Leah thinks it is not human.
The doctor held a long needle-like diagnostic probe and pricked the vein in the man's arm. The man suddenly opened his eyes, rolled his pure black eyes, and opened his mouth to shout.
Boom.
Leah punched him on the head and said with a smile: "This humanoid creature, please do not make dangerous moves."
It's a pity that the man couldn't hear her brisk voice at all, because he had passed out again.
The doctor's hand holding the probe froze in mid-air. He looked at the man and then at Liya, and asked Li Liang: "Brother, are you still cured?"
Li Liang pursed his lips, pulled Liya and said, "Treat, treat."
