There was a blond girl in a hospital gown sitting on a wheelchair outside the door. She raised her head and looked at him and smiled: "Why, great hero, don't you welcome me?"
"How could that be?" Lin Nian paused and smiled at her, "The nurse said are you okay?"
"It's okay." Helena stuck out her tongue and rolled her wheelchair into the ward. The lights of Chicago outside the window were dim, but there was still noisy downstairs, and the alarm bell rang and went out from time to time.
"Let me help you." Lin Nian sighed, picked up Helena from the wheelchair, and walked to the hospital bed by the window. The girl gently held her waist with both hands and leaned her head slightly on his shoulder.
superior.
"It's really dangerous this afternoon, Richard, thank you for saving me." Helena said leaning on Lin Nian's shoulder.
"You didn't see anything, how did you know it was dangerous?" Lin Nian placed her on the bed, straightened the folds of her blouse on her knees, turned around and pushed the wheelchair under the window. The white curtains were blown by the breeze, and the city
The black giant is hidden in the rolling mountains, and occasionally lights up with sparks.
"I didn't see it, but I felt it." Helena said softly, "Richard, you care about me very much."
"Of course I care about you." Lin Nian said, but the reason for his concern was omitted in his words.
"Honestly, do you like me?" Helena suddenly raised her finger and pointed at Lin Nian and smiled.
"I'm lying if I say I don't like you. I just like you a little bit. I've liked you a little bit since the first time I saw you." Lin Nian pinched his fingers and smiled. The matter was finally resolved, and he didn't mind talking about it.
Some harmless jokes.
"If that murderer wants to kill me, what will you do then, Richard?" After laughing, Helena asked again.
"Maybe... stop him?" Lin Nian said.
"What if it can't be stopped?"
"I don't know." Lin Nian shook his head. After a long time, he whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "Maybe I'm not ready to become a murderer..."
"It's important to make up your mind. You have to make up your mind in everything you do." The blond girl looked at Lin Nian and said with a low smile, "As long as you make up your mind, you can go on the road you decided to go to, even if you betray everything."
"Betray everything...?" Lin Nian said.
"Do you think you can give up everyone around you for one thing?" the blonde girl asked softly, "your parents, your friends, your teachers, and even your...sister?"
"I don't know." Lin Nian didn't know why she asked this. "I can't imagine what could make me give up everything."
"Maybe I haven't found an opportunity for me to make up my mind yet?" Lin Nian reached out and gently rubbed Helena's hair. He liked the girl's hair very much. He put his fingers into it and wanted to hold up the dry and warm hair.
The sand and hair slipped between the fingers, just like sand falling on the ground. When the wind blew outside the window, the sand grains in the hands came to life and danced on the fingertips.
"How about we have something to eat? As your Chinese saying goes, even if we meet again, we are better off than we have known each other. Richard and I hit it off as old friends today, so this meal is all about me." Helena patted her chest, which was not very firm.
"Okay." Lin Nian withdrew his hand and nodded. It's funny to say that he was seriously thinking about whether the mission execution department would give him a meal this time, but before he could think about the results, Helena took it in one bite.
for his dinner tonight.
The word "people are beautiful and kind-hearted" is indeed not groundless (the meaning here is taken from the 6th edition of "Modern Chinese Dictionary" in 2012). I immediately said that this relationship is good. Most of the friendships between revolutionary warriors started with half a piece of steamed buns.
, so Shuang ordered three dishes.
"Richard, you are just growing taller. How can this be enough?" Helena covered her mouth and laughed for a while, then prepared to continue ordering.
This kind of treatment made Lin Nian feel like he was dreaming of returning to Shilan Middle School. When he was eating in the cafeteria in his first year of high school, the little goddess would quietly come over and sit next to him, look at his rice plate, and say this carelessly.
Where can I find enough food to order? Was Parkinson, the aunt who was cooking, guilty again? So she dragged Lin Nian...
Lin Nian suddenly pressed his head and gasped.
It's like the eggshell suddenly broke through a gap, and the memory broke through the surface tension and slowly seeped out from the inside, flowing on the table. The egg white mixed with the egg yolk made people sniff and smell some other smells...
Smell of rain? Why does it smell like rain? It clearly didn’t rain in Chicago today, and Helena in front of her was dry and warm. Why did he smell the smell of rain?
Lin Nian thought hard. He looked at Helena in front of him and felt that the graceful figure in the light was shaking a little. Everything was a little unreal. More memories flowed out from the eggshell, and some pictures inserted into his mind like thunder.
In front of him, it was as if his eyes were opened by a face opener, forcing him to witness those destined to be sad endings.
At some point, time seemed to have jumped. They skipped the ordering process and entered the meal time. The lunch boxes were placed in front of them. Helena raised her knife and fork and stretched it towards him and said, "For justice."
Lin Nian was in a daze. The light in the room was very dim. He looked up and saw Helena's face gradually sinking into darkness.
The eggshell was completely broken, and all the yellow and white contents flowed out. A smell even stronger than the egg yolk...the smell of blood poured into the nasal cavity.
Half of her body was leaning against the end of the corridor. Dried and colorless flesh and blood climbed all over the wall like vines. Gray bone wings were embedded in the left and right walls, nailing the person above like a cross, leaving only a blurry picture.
The girl's face was hidden in the gray flesh, hiding from the morning sun shining through the window above her head.
Lin Nian stretched out his hand. He also held a knife and fork in his hand. However, he did not collide with her. Instead, he suddenly violently pressed her on the bed and nervously pressed the knife against her throat.
He remembered, he remembered what would happen next. The murderer was not the giant man downstairs at all, but the seemingly harmless girl in front of him. She killed many people... yes, a total of eight people.
, she peeled off those people's faces, just for her twisted justice, even the skin on her face now never belonged to her!
The boy pinned the girl down on the bed, furious like a lion. He felt betrayed and stared at the girl as if he wanted to eat this liar who told lies. His thinking was very chaotic, but the flashback scenes kept coming.
Jumping out on the ground constantly irritated his brain nerves, making him more irritable and manic.
The blond hair was scattered on the white sheets like flowers. The girl just smiled and looked at his furious face without saying a word, and raised her hand to gently caress his cheek.
"...Silly boy, she has already been killed by you, how could you possibly kill her again?"
The sound of a gunshot rang out in the corridor ended the retracement.
Lin Nian discovered that the knife in his hand had turned into a gun, and blood spattered on the wall. He took away the first life born under him and completed his transformation.

Backtracking terminates.
On the sofa, the swaying world in front of Lin Nian finally stopped. Every crazy hook line fit the outline. People are people, things are things. The torrent of memories came back, and he gradually recalled everything in reality.
.
I unconsciously retraced my steps again.
Lin Nian couldn't help but closed his eyes to stop his dizziness, holding his hands on the sofa and breathing heavily.
The sequelae of Fu Sheng's Yanling came without any warning. Even if he was concentrating on one thing at the last moment, the next moment he looked back, he would be completely lost in the memory of the past and could not extricate himself.
It's just that this time there seems to be something unexpected in the backtracking.
He actually forcibly remembered the future events in the middle of the flashback... After that, his memory began to become chaotic, and the pictures in the flashback became specious. After reaching the critical point, he forcibly broke the flashback and returned to reality.
When Lin Nian closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, another breathing sound inexplicably sounded in his ears.
The voice was a bit rapid, and the warm breath fell on the side of his face. Hidden under the breathing was the heartbeat, a violent heartbeat, like a rabbit locked in a drum, jumping hard to break the drum surface.
Jump into the outside world.
Lin Nian forgot when he entered the state of retrospection, but now it is certain that he seemed to have dragged in unrelated people during the period of retrospection. He and Wan Boqian should have been the only ones in the presidential suite. Could it be...
He immediately stopped sorting out his thoughts and breathing and opened his eyes. However, the person and scene he saw in his eyes truly stunned him.
Regent Hotel, Presidential Suite.
On the long sofa in the spacious living room, the girl was pressed on the sofa by the boy. All the weight fell on her delicate body, making her breathless and looking weak and shy.
Her right hand was held down hard... She was lying limply with heat all over. The buttons of her clothes fell apart, revealing a white collarbone and milk-like skin. The crimson clouds fell from the sky due to excessive body temperature.
The neck began to crawl towards the cheeks and ears.
The distance between her face was only ten centimeters, and her serious eyes almost melted into the waves. The wrist and skin pinched by her fingers were slightly sunken and turned pale pink. There was some pain but she did not resist.
...because she didn't know how to resist. The boy in front of her was too strong. He suddenly became violent like a lion. She could only turn into a puddle of clear water with fragrance in the eyes that once chose to devour others.
Ripples.
Su Xiaoqiang.
The name of the girl under him popped into Lin Nian's mind. His eyes touched her lips, and the moisture and marshmallow-like fragrance exhaled from them seemed to be hesitant. She seemed timid in her joy, but she still gritted her teeth.
Courage stretched out his hand to the buttons of Lin Nian's collar, as if to undress him...
Lin Nian suddenly jumped up like an electric shock, but before he or the girl on the sofa could make a sound, someone shouted out first.
Wan Boqian, who walked out of the suite compartment, wiped her wet hair, looked at the two men on the sofa with surprise, and couldn't help but let out a loud and clear sound...
"I go...?"
Looking at this scene in confusion, Wan Boqian was stunned, and the hand wiping her hair was frozen in place. She didn't know if she came out at the right time... or at the wrong time? It wasn't just
She was stunned, and the two people who saw her on the sofa were also stunned.
For a moment, no one moved or made a sound in the living room of the suite.
The three people's eyes intertwined with each other, and the scene was filled with a strange and desolate atmosphere.
