Chapter 678 Zero and Renata (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
The far north, Siberia’s Black Swan Port.
Lu Mingfei slowly woke up from the cold wind and freezing snow. He opened his eyes and looked around. It was pitch black. In front of him was a whole iron door. There was a small window on the door, which was closed.
, the iron door is tightly embedded into the hard stone wall, as if to prevent people in this room from leaving, and also to prevent people from outside from entering this closed room by mistake.
Rather than a room, this place is more like a prison or a cage. However, this cage does not contain cute animals such as parrots, starlings, and hamsters, nor birds and beasts. This is a room dedicated to Lu Mingfei.
He was the only one in the room, and not even an ant could be found.
There are no species like ants here. In this season, in the Siberian seaport, even at two o'clock in the afternoon when the surface temperature is the highest, the temperature here is as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. If the soldiers were not wrapped in thick velvet military uniforms,
If you patrol in the snow at night for only five minutes, you will be frozen to the point of unconsciousness. This harbor is infinitely close to a certain pole of the earth, and there is no warm time all year round.
Lu Mingfei's room does not have any heating tools. Coal and bonfires are only available to soldiers and medical staff in the harbor. The children here will at most get thick plush blankets to spend every cold night...
Lu Mingfei was the only exception. He had nothing. Fortunately, he was not very afraid of the cold. Even if his hands and feet were frozen in the cold air, he could still fall asleep soundly.
Lu Mingfei just woke up from a deep sleep. His head is still groggy because he often dreams. Sometimes he dreams that he is not at the Black Swan Port in Siberia, but in China, where his parents are.
They are a pair of historians who travel around the world year after year, and he lives with his uncle and aunt. In high school, he attended a local aristocratic high school called Shilan Middle School. In college, he was admitted
IKEA has been admitted to a university called Kassel College in the United States.
In the dream, Lu Mingfei was a loser. He vaguely remembered that he had liked several girls before and after, but none of them liked him. They all had boyfriends, and their boyfriends were all better than him.
Lu Mingfei was too good. In his dream, Lu Mingfei seemed to have met a girl who liked him, but he forgot. He couldn't remember the girl's name.
It was just a dream. Lu Mingfei would have dreams every night. He could not remember the details of the dreams. Whenever he woke up, he would forget what he had dreamed about. Lu Mingfei would even feel that there was another version of himself in his brain.
He had a conversation with himself, but he couldn't remember the specific content. His memory has always been so confusing because he had undergone pontine splitting surgery.
This kind of surgery was originally prepared for epilepsy patients. As the name suggests, the nerves connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain are cut off. After the operation, the two hemispheres work independently... and are no longer connected. Generally speaking, the left and right brains of a person have different responsibilities.
The left brain provides desire, while the right brain is responsible for restraint. It is possible that when you see a sexy woman, the left brain will encourage you to rush forward and make some primitive impulse towards that woman, but your right brain will
It stops you and alerts you at all times, and the left and right brains restrict each other to reach a certain balance. So in the end, you did not do something irreparable to that sexy woman, but just fantasized about those scenes in your mind.
However, people who have undergone pontine splitting surgery do not have this ability of self-restraint. Their left and right brains work independently and may split into two completely different personalities. If they want to restrict each other to achieve a certain balance, they must use the brain
The two personalities in it communicate with each other or quarrel to resolve... Lu Mingfei doesn't know whether he is a left-brained personality or a right-brained personality, or maybe all this is just a figment of his imagination that he has never seen in his life.
He has never seen the sun, and has never seen flowers. Life is a numb and monotonous thing to him.
Lu Mingfei's head turned slightly, and he saw the cabinet close to the wall. The cabinet was filled with large and small medicine jars. Some medicine jars contained colorful medicines, and some medicine jars were empty.
, Lu Mingfei couldn't name the medicines. He only knew that the unfinished medicines were intended to act on him, while the empty medicine jars had already been injected into his body.
No one here would call him "Lu Mingfei". Whether it was the fierce female nurses who injected him with sedatives or the doctors who conducted experiments on him, they all called him "Number Zero".
Looking forward along the cabinet, Lu Mingfei saw a big "Zero" written in bright red paint on the wall. This once again solidified the idea in Lu Mingfei's mind. Now he is living in reality.
In the world where his name is "No.
I will forget everything in my dream.
There is also a wall on the other side of the room. There is also a small window on the wall on that side. The window is sealed with wooden bars and there is a white curtain in front. The light from the searchlight outside shines through the gaps in the wooden bars.
It looked like a white ghost on the fluttering curtains.
There were black stains on the curtains, which should be blood stains. Lu Mingfei couldn't remember if it was his own blood. He had no memory of many things that had happened before. In fact, Lu Mingfei always felt that his memory seemed to be missing.
Huge, when he thinks of this, his head feels like being hit with a hammer, giving him a splitting headache, so he often feels headaches and confusion, and can't tell which world is real and which world is false.
Lu Mingfei knew that there were many children living in this huge cage, including him, there were 39 children, but Lu Mingfei had never seen other children, he had never walked out of this door, and he was covered in straitjackets.
, this kind of clothes is sewn with tough white linen. It is put on the body and then tightly tied to a hard iron bed with more than a dozen wide belts. After the belts are fastened, he can only lie down stiffly. This person is
Like an insect trapped in a cocoon, only the neck can move slightly.
In this cage, only those children who are extremely disobedient or make huge mistakes will be punished by being tied up in restraints by the fierce caregivers. When they first put on the restraints, the children will cry hard, but often
It took him a few hours to be honest, because that feeling was really more uncomfortable than death... But Lu Mingfei wore tights every day, but he didn't feel anything. His emotions were empty, like a soulless animal.
Wooden doll.
The corridor outside was silent. It was already late at night. During the day, Lu Mingfei could occasionally hear the movements of other children. Yakov fell asleep standing on the lawn again, and Khorkina's legs fell asleep again.
I have grown longer, my chest has become a lot bigger, and so on... But it is quiet here at night, and every child is sleeping soundly and cannot be woken up.
In the distant duty room, there was only the sound of nurses drinking, playing cards and quarreling. Each of these women from the Soviet Union was very fierce. If it weren't for the fact that aviation kerosene lighters are extremely scarce here, they would smoke more than men.
More vicious.
Suddenly there was a rustling movement in the corridor, like a mouse crawling across the road. Lu Mingfei's heart moved. He knew what the movement meant... It was a girl named Renata. She was
The only girl here who has never had surgery, the nursing staff occasionally does not lock her door at night. On many boring nights, this girl will walk through the long corridor like an elf, creating things that will not be ignored by the nursing staff.
Small movements discovered.
Lu Mingfei pays attention to Renata not because he has a good relationship with Renata. He doesn't know this girl, but he is just too boring. Every night seems to be a calm stagnant water to him. This
The girl's appearance could make a few ripples in the water. It was better for Lu Mingfei to spend the whole night staring at those ripples than to spend the whole night in a daze doing nothing.
Lu Mingfei had never been in contact with Renata, but just from what he heard about this girl at night, he could tell that she was an eccentric girl. Renata would hit other sleeping girls with walls or mud balls.
Children, those children would not wake up anyway. Renata would take advantage of the night to explore every corner of the entire corridor, but she had never been near Ward Zero. Lu Mingfei knew why.
None of the children knew what was in Ward Zero. The nurses would always scare the children, saying that there was a man-eating demon in Ward Zero. If anyone disobeyed too many times, they would be thrown into the room.
In Ward Zero, the devil is served as dinner, and the children believe the words of the nurse. Therefore, Ward Zero has always been the most mysterious forbidden place in this building.
Lu Mingfei suddenly froze, because he heard Renata's footsteps, approaching Ward Zero little by little, her movements gentle and slow, as if she was afraid of alarming the nursing staff, just like a
A little mouse that only steals food behind its owner's back.
There was a gentle tapping sound on the hard iron door, which seemed particularly clean in the silent room, and a girl's pleasant voice came from the crack in the door.
"Are you asleep? Or are you awake? Can I come in?" Renata asked quietly toward the door.
Lu Mingfei was still in a daze. He didn't know this girl at all. He had no contact with Renata, including the other children in this building. He didn't know why Renata came to him on such a night.
...It even sounded like he was visiting him, like an old acquaintance whom he had met several times, but Lu Mingfei didn't remember that he knew Renata at all, and he didn't know why this girl came to visit him in such a late night.
.
"I know you're not asleep, so I'm coming in." Renata said politely.
Lu Mingfei didn't answer her. On the one hand, it was because he hadn't figured out why this strange girl came to him suddenly and acted like she was familiar with him. On the other hand, Lu Mingfei knew about this iron gate.
It cannot be opened. Only two people have the key to this kicked-in door. One is the fierce head nurse, and the other is the person in charge of the building... But neither of them will lend the key to Renata.
But the next moment, there was a "creak" and the heavy iron door was slowly pushed open. Before Lu Mingfei could be surprised, he saw the dim yellow gasoline lamp in front of the iron door swaying automatically without wind, and the figure of a girl.
It was stretched more than ten times, reflected on the wall of the corridor, swaying left and right, the petite black shadow crawled in through the crack in the door, and then gently closed the iron door behind him.
Lu Mingfei looked at the figure that slipped into the room. She was a petite girl. She was more skinny than petite, as if she was malnourished or underdeveloped. The girl's skin was as white as the ice and snow in Siberia, which was the most attractive.
What is noticeable is the girl's long pale golden hair, which is very beautiful and may shine like gold if exposed to the sun.
But there is no sunshine in Siberia. Lu Mingfei just felt this subconsciously. He had never seen a girl standing in the sun. Maybe they would never have the chance to see the sun in their lifetime, but he couldn't help but think of that pale girl.
The long golden hair exudes a golden luster in the sun.
The girl with long pale golden hair approached the iron bed where Lu Mingfei was sitting. Lu Mingfei pursed his lips and looked at the girl with alert and curious eyes.
"Are you still awake?" the girl with long light blond hair said, "Then why did you ignore me?"
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. He didn't know how to answer the girl's question for a while, so he just asked tentatively: "Renata?"
"Yes, I'm Renata." Renata hesitated for a moment, "Why do you seem like you don't recognize me?"
"Why do I know you?" Lu Mingfei's frown deepened, "Should I know you? It seems that we have never met before."
Renata was stunned for a few seconds, then she approached the iron bed in disbelief and stared at Lu Mingfei: "Don't you know me? Are you serious? Are you kidding me? Hey, this is
It’s not funny either!”
It could be seen that Renata was a little angry. She felt that Lu Mingfei was teasing her, but she didn't like being teased like this, so she kept her promise.
When Renata was completely close, Lu Mingfei finally saw the girl's appearance clearly. She couldn't say how beautiful she was, but she was definitely not unattractive. To be precise, this girl hadn't opened up yet, hadn't developed yet, and didn't have any conspicuous features on her body.
She has female characteristics, but her delicate porcelain doll-like face is truly a beauty. If this girl can develop normally, she will definitely amaze every man who sees her.
Lu Mingfei didn't think that such a delicate face was so rare, but he actually felt a familiar aura from Renata's girl. He always felt that Renata looked like someone he knew, and he remembered
It's unclear, but it was indeed his first face-to-face contact with Renata.
