After Albert and his team finished the game, they left the Ghana National Stadium and arrived at the sand boat at the pier without much effort.
Tiger thought they would be sniped when they left. The man behind all this---the gang boss Seth --- would stop at all costs to prevent the Sphinx team from returning. However, Seth's men did not show up.
It all went so smoothly that it's almost unbelievable.
After actually boarding the sand ship, Albert was completely relieved. Seth's men probably thought it was not an appropriate time to attack the Sphinx after the game was over, so they gave up and made other plans.
.
Whatever.
The sand ship finally set sail against the wind and left the port. The young tiger man sat on the deck to rest, trying to regain as much strength as possible before going back. The only thing he had to do today was to participate in the American football game, and he could do everything he had to do now.
That's it, he can be said to be blameless and relieved. After returning home, he must take a nice hot bath, eat and sleep, and get rid of all the fatigue accumulated from the game.
He could actually take a shower in the locker room of Shachuan. But after getting used to the luxurious bathroom suites of the Grand Hotel in Cairo, he really couldn't stand the small and narrow public bathrooms.
The tiger with a relaxed face lay on the deck and stretched, then turned to look at the cat boy Mutt. Mutt had obviously not taken a bath yet, and saw the cat boy looking like a wild cat with lice.
He kept reaching out and scratching --- mainly scratching his inner thighs. The picture couldn't be more beautiful.
Tiger immediately grinned slyly in retaliation: "Hey hey hey hey. How dare you say I'm disgusting? You're obviously the one who didn't disinfect the protective gear well. Now you're good, you've got schizophrenia, right?"
"Nonsense!" The cat boy gave Albert a fierce look: "I feel itchy, and it's all the fault of these bandages. They are tied too tight, and it makes people feel uncomfortable after a long time."
"Is it Meow? If your lower body is itchy because of those bandages, why doesn't Meow take them off?" Albert recalled the previous games and found that what Mutt suffered were basically skin injuries. Those kind of small injuries
Injury, any healer can use a healing magic to heal Mutt without leaving any scars.
In this case, why is Mutt still wearing so many bandages? This is not reasonable at all.
"The doctor said it can't be removed. To prevent wound infection or something." Mutt said seriously, but when he said this, the kitten's paws were restlessly scratching his arm.
"Hmph, the wound must have healed. Why does the ghost doctor still want you to keep the bandage on? You have obviously been teased, right?" Albert looked disdainful, "Come on, if you don't want to take it off yourself, I will help you."
You've dismantled it. Don't be shy, meow~"
"No, no, no! Stop! This is really not good!" Mutt broke away from Albert's hand: "You must listen to the doctor's orders! Maybe they have any special reasons?"
"What a special reason! Just say it's okay! Do you believe me or those quacks?"
"I believe in doctors." The cat boy said it without thinking.
Albert was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "You kid asked for it!"
He pushed Mutt to the ground with one hand, and began to take the bandage on the cat-man boy's arm with the other hand.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu! No, no!" Mutt was struggling feebly. How could he compare with the tiger man youth in terms of strength?
Half of it was a joke, and the other half was serious. Albert quickly removed the bandage on Mutt's left arm and checked the cat boy's arm. As he expected, the small wounds on Mutt's arm
It has long since healed, with not even a trace of scar left. The doctors told Mutter that he had to wear a bandage to prevent infection, but it turned out to be a lie.
"Look, I said it right, right?" Albert was a little proud: "There is no wound at all, so how can it be infected? You are definitely being tricked by the doctors."
"But..." Mutt also climbed up and looked at his arm doubtfully. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with him. Fortunately, he was still wearing that tight and uncomfortable bandage. Since the end of the game,
I stayed up for half an hour. I felt so wronged.
"Hmph." The cat boy moved his arms and hummed dejectedly: "Okay. It's better to remove these uncomfortable bandages. The doctors are making too much fuss. In fact, there is no need to do such a serious thing.
Measures to prevent infection."
"I just said meow." Albert grinned, his hand already touching Mutt's armpit: "Come on, come on, I'll help you take off the rest of the bandages."
"Don't touch me, you pervert! I can take off the bandage myself, I don't need your help!"
At this moment, the leopard man Phileos happened to walk by wearing short-sleeved casual clothes and a big bath towel. He probably had just taken a shower in the locker room of the sand ship cabin and came out to enjoy the air. He saw the cat man boy in
Under Tiger's instigation, he began to remove the bandage, and his expression changed: "What are you doing? Stop it!"
"What? We are dismantling------"
"Wow!" Albert's words were immediately interrupted by Mutt's exclamation. The cat boy waved his left arm and screamed: "My hand! My hand, meow!"
Of course Albert also saw it. Mutt's arm was hanging low like a kite with a broken string, and it was swinging like a rope while waving, which looked both scary and funny.
Albert had teased Mutt before that he was an octopus, because the way Mutt extended his arms and waved around looked so much like that kind of aquatic mollusk. But Tiger never expected that the cat boy's hands would look like this.
It stretched to the thickness of a twig, and fell to the ground feebly, coiled into a ball, as if it was about to melt! If this is not an octopus tentacle, what else could it be?
"Shh!" Mutt yelled, and Phileos quickly covered the cat boy's mouth with one hand. He casually picked up his bath towel and covered Mutt's "melted" hand, urging
Said: "It's not safe to talk here. Come to the cabin and bandage it again!"
"It hurts... it hurts so much!" The cat boy's arms not only softened into a ball, but were also twitching. The twitching arms were indeed very similar to real octopus tentacles. Ai
Albert originally wanted to laugh, but when he saw Mutt's face twisted in pain, he couldn't.
"Woooo!" The pain caused by the strong spasm of the entire arm was no joke. Mutt immediately fainted from the pain.
"This is more serious than imagined." Phileos muttered in a low voice, immediately picked up the unconscious cat boy and said to the tiger: "Follow me."
Albert nodded and followed, and the two quickly entered the cabin. There was a small medical room in the sand ship. Although it was not equipped with all kinds of medicine, the necessary medical supplies were still complete. Phileos took Mutt
Placed on the hospital bed, a ship's doctor had come over to perform emergency treatment on Mutt's arm.
"Now you can tell me, meow, what's going on?" Albert asked worriedly while looking at the sweaty cat boy.
Phileos closed the door of the medical room and lowered his voice mysteriously: "To put it simply, our enemies have found Mutt's Achilles' heel."
"Achilles' heel?"
"It's the kind of [muscle relaxant] they used when we played against the Ghana Black Diamond Team." The Leopard Man glanced at the Cat Man boy: "I don't know if you heard about it from Mutt, Alber
Mr. Special. But this child was once a slave, and the slave owner who owned him was a cruel and cruel pervert."
"I've heard that Mutt had his hands and feet cut off and stuffed into an octopus pot, right?" Albert tried his best to keep calm. When he heard Mutt talk about this yesterday, he thought the cat-man boy was joking.
I didn't expect this joke to be true.
"Since you have heard of it, it will be much easier for me to explain." Phileos continued: "As you know, Mutt's arm bones and leg bones have actually been broken, and they are all broken."
Irreducible comminuted fractures. The guys responsible for [execution] stuffing people into octopus pots are very professional. Their techniques can ensure that a person's limbs are completely destroyed and can never be restored. When the Sphinx father
When the kitten was rescued, everyone thought that Mutt would be permanently disabled and would not be able to get out of the hospital bed for the rest of his life.
However, he healed himself. After he was stuffed into a takopot and tortured and raped for several years and months, his shattered arm and leg bones gradually merged into tiny pieces.
It once again formed a skeletal structure like a spine, and gradually merged with his muscle structure."
"Like a snake." Albert couldn't help but add.
"Well, just like a snake." Phileos nodded and repeated: "Originally, this change was useless. It was just to reduce the chance of bone fragments stabbing the muscles, so that Mutt, who was trapped in the octopus pot, could relax a little.
It was just painful. But after we rescued him, during a long period of rehabilitation treatment, Mutt actually mastered the ability to use muscle power to drive his alienated limbs. Maybe the cat people are born with this talent,
He finally controlled his snake-like limbs so skillfully that he even allowed himself to stand up and move like a normal person. This has to be said to be a miracle."
It's not a miracle. Albert knew it very well. Mutt was a man who climbed out of the abyss of despair. He endured great humiliation and pain, but still did not know how to give up. Such a person does not need to rely on God's gifts at all.
Miracles, they are capable of creating miracles.
In short, the cat boy who originally had his hands and feet broken and had to spend his whole life in a hospital bed stood up on his own strength. But what does this have to do with the current situation? Albert still couldn't understand it.
