The surroundings got dark very quickly, and before I took a few steps on the stairs, the passage in front of me gradually became blurry. The stairs under my feet also felt like I couldn’t see clearly.
"Why is there no elevator installed in such a big building with the required height? No matter how old this place is, it can't be more than a hundred years old. And the history of the elevator is far more than a hundred years." The woman carrying the box said
The sound and footsteps echoing around her showed that she took every step very steadily, and there was no problem due to the obstruction of her vision.
"How do I know?" said the man in a matter-of-fact manner, "Maybe the designer was too lazy at the time and thought it would be too troublesome to draw the elevator design drawings, so he simply doubled the number of stairs, and then doubled the width.
Meet people's need to go up and down stairs. Life lies in exercise, and a healthy body is achieved through exercise. You are still a physician's assistant. You don't know this bit of common sense. No wonder I don't pay you. Those wages have become
You have learned the knowledge I taught you."
"Do you understand the tuition? I am your teacher." The man's tone became slightly more serious, and he groped his way up the dark corridor slowly.
There is a light switch on the side, but nothing happens when I press it. The surrounding area is still getting darker and darker. Most of the lighting systems here have failed.
"Either the line is broken, or the lamps have not been replaced." The woman's voice rang again. The man did not reply, and the surrounding light became darker. At this time, the two of them also walked out of the stairs and came to the corridor with a little more light.
Above. Here you can see the dim sky, only a thin line, and most of the view is completely blocked by another building not far away in front of you. From a distance of less than a few meters, you can even clearly read the door number of the opposite building.
digits of the number.
"Oh,,," the woman sighed, "How far is it? This place seems a bit remote. Is this really where the big money owner you mentioned lives? Or is it that the customer is someone on the blacklist?
So you have to stay away?"
"This is a house I bought before, but who would have thought that just a few years later, it would become like this. Although I didn't see how much better this place was at the beginning." The man walking in front was very surprised.
He spoke calmly, "Here we are, this is our destination."
The door of the room in front of me has been corroded with many brown spots of varying sizes, and above it is a layer of black-red rust that has not been cleaned for a long time. Even if there is an anti-rust coating on it, the steel material is resistant to oxidation, but the surface
For decades, all designs have failed to achieve their expected results.
She knocked on the door at a specific frequency, and the sound turned into a code word and was transmitted into the house that was tightly closed by the metal door. The woman carrying the box took a few steps forward, trying to pass through a door there.
I looked inside through the simple little window, but the result was disappointing. The place was welded shut with steel plates and iron bars, not letting in any air.
Just a few seconds after the knock on the metal door was heard, there was the sound of metal friction. I don’t know how long it had been since the gears and shafts had not been lubricated, and the sound was very sharp. And the steam pipe seemed to be damaged.
There was a problem, probably because the steam valve was broken without regular repair and maintenance. A lot of milky white steam leaked out, floating in the air when the man touched his arm, and there was a warm feeling. p>
"Punos, you're a long time late." As soon as the door opened, these cold words came from the darkness inside.
Punos smiled dryly, but at this moment he could not say a single word that he had written in his stomach.
"There have been some minor accidents in the past few days. It won't be like this next time." After standing in front of the door for a few seconds, Punos slowly said this sentence.
"There's no next time, this is the last time." Still emotionless, "Come in, I hope no one will follow you."
"Don't worry at all, there is no one behind us." Adina, who had stood behind Punos at some point, replied. She bent forward slightly, which was a non-standard salute, "Hello, Miss Carla,
I am Dr. Punos' assistant, Adina."
"Hello, Miss Adena." Kara nodded lightly, but she didn't want to spend time on the shabby doorway and boring etiquette. She let the two people enter the house, closed the old metal door, and shook it.
It shook off some rust.
At this time, the lights in the room were turned on. The light leakage when opening the door would increase the chance of exposure here. Punos' eyes that could not adapt to the light immediately squinted slightly. He waited for a few seconds before fully opening his eyes and observing the room.
Scenery and layout.
The layout is almost exactly the same as the previous few times I came here, with simple chairs and tables, cups and kettles placed on one side, and a ferocious sniper rifle on the other. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Punos's head impartially.
The head. It should not be said that it is facing Punos's head, but the metal door behind Punos. The safety on the sniper rifle is always open, and the loaded bullet is just waiting for the trigger to be pressed. p>
Moving his steps to avoid the deep black muzzle, Punos' eyes drifted elsewhere. There was also a small bed made of steel plates in the room with new bedding, and there was a small kitchen not far away. Before.
There should be a wardrobe next to the bed, but it is no longer visible.
"I really miss you, Sister Carla. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Punos said, pulling out a chair and sitting down, and motioned for Adina to put down the black iron box and rest.
"It's been a few years." Kara walked into the table and got herself a glass of cold water. She drank a few sips and then put it down. "But after not seeing each other for so long, you really found an assistant, but I didn't expect it.
Things. Thinking of the boy who was frightened and cried, I still can't perfectly connect him with you in front of me. Or it's not a bad inference that they don't connect at all."
Punos showed a helpless smile, but the trembling of the muscles on his face showed that it was a truly happy smile. Adena on the side showed a look of expectation, and she was worried about the "boy who cried in fear" in Kara's words
"Full of interest.
"A child who was still only ten years old was forced to watch a live human dissection by you like you at that time, and the person who performed the surgery yourself was you, Sister Kara. Which child can bear such a thing? After that incident
, I haven’t been able to have a good sleep for a long time since I went back. Maybe it was from then on that my sleep became like this, almost shallow, and I had to use medicine." There was something in Punos' voice.
Protest.
Kara also had a smile on her face, "But didn't you leave at that time? Although you were crying all the time, you were the one who watched until the end before leaving. As for the other people, they had already seen me lift the cloth covering the body.
When I was there, I was so scared that I ran away. It shows that you are still very interested in anatomy, otherwise you would not have given up the surname Meredith and concentrated on your current industry."
Punos shook his head with a grimace, as if he thought of some bad memories, "I think it wasn't because I liked him that I didn't run away. The most likely reason was that I was too scared at the time, and there was something wrong with my legs."
Because I have no strength, I will always be there crying and not running away, and that is why I will always be there to accompany you to do human anatomy." After speaking, he sighed. This was the worst memory of his childhood, and he can still think about it clearly now.
Get up.
Listening to what the two said, Adena laughed out loud. She knew very little about her employer.
Then her tone changed, and Kara put away the smile on her face. Now it should be time to talk about business.
"Have you brought your things? After this operation, I will no longer stay in Manoma, and of course I will not go back to the military school. As for the reason, everyone knows it. Although there is plenty of time, I will not stay in Manoma again.
Manoma's safety cannot be guaranteed. I must complete the operation as soon as possible and get out of here."
"Of course, you believe in my ability to do things, Sister Carla." Punos also became serious. Adena also opened the black box at this time and took out a glass bottle. The translucent liquid inside swallowed up the small amount in the room.
Under the bright light, a heart-shaped object was completely immersed in the liquid, and the ferocious appearance of the artificial blood vessel was clearly visible.
"You can have surgery at any time, Sister Kara." When he came to his profession, Punos was very confident in his words.
