Chapter 171: Poison
You De was cornered and had no way to escape. He was, in essence, a coward. Even in this situation, he didnt dare to stand up to the strong. His legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.
I really dont know anything. I only went to the school to fetch my little brother. His biological parents are at the hospital waiting for treatment. Our family is down in the dumps. Please let me go. Ill do anything you want me too. You De kowtowed and cried.
Are you scared of me? I love seeing these expressions on you. You are helpless and cant change anything. Every plea you make is like an invitation to me. You are inviting me to use even crueller methods to torture you. Veins popped on the surface of Wang Jies skin. Thin capillaries pierced through his pupils.
If he begged, hed die; if he didnt beg, hed die. You Des face scrunched up together. He pressed his hands on the ground. Suddenly, the article about You Liang on the television flashed in his mind. His abandoned little brother was an adult, and his life was blissful and happy. He helped everyone, and he didnt have any troubles.
Why is it like this? What have I done wrong? Why have I done to deserve this? Triggered by Wang Jie, You Des mind started to change. His soul appeared to be populated, and his negative thoughts were invoked. He still didnt dare to resist Wang Jie, but he dared to bully those weaker than him.
Dont kill me. I can bring you to my little brother. Hes very special. He doesnt seem to feel pain. You definitely havent hunted a person like him before! He asked the killer to hunt his own brother. You De only realised what he had said after the words left his lips. After he took the first step, the dam in his heart broke. He lay on the ground like a dog and wagged his tail for mercy. I can bring him to find him and the others! I can give you anything you want. If youre afraid that I might trick you, you can make me stab him! I will not betray you. I just want to live.
Heavy breathing came from Wang Jies lips. He didnt move his knife, but his gaze turned excited. What a vicious man. Youre more deserving of death than I thought. Without warning, Wang Jies knife stabbed into You Des shoulder, causing him to scream in pain. However, even then, You De didnt hate Wang Jie the most but those who were happier than him.
Bang!
The door was slammed through. Du Bai and Cao Song ran in. Wang Jie, dont kill him! He might still prove useful! Since Gao Ming said the key to clear the mission was on You De, the students who heard the news had been searching for You De.
In that moment, Du Bai rammed into Wang Jie, Have you lost your mind? He couldnt stop Wang Jie alone. Cao Song rushed over as well. The injured You De saw this commotion and crawled his way out to safety.
Help! Help! He held his shoulder and screamed as he ran into the crowd. The pedestrians thought he was crazy and gave him a wide berth. There were many people, but they were only looking. Once You De approached, they would move away.
The blood wouldnt stop leaking out. You De felt like he was about to faint. When his vision blurred, he suddenly saw a man in a white coat standing on the platform.
Doctor! Save me! You De cried as he ran towards the doctor.
Follow me. Ill bring you to the hospital. Different from the apathetic crowd, this doctor was very kind. He stopped a car and led You De to the nearest clinic. The weak You De entered the clinic. His steps were heavy. Half of his clothes were already soaked with blood.
The wound is long, and the muscles have been torn. You need stitching immediately. The man signalled You De to lay on the bed. He searched the cabinet for a long time before he found the anaesthetic. Get ready.
The pain was so great that You De couldnt think straight. His expression softened after the anaesthetic was injected into his body. He lost sense of half of his body. You Des face was pale. Doctor, can you start the stitching soon?
Dont rush me. Im looking for the scalpel and thread. The doctor ransacked the place. This confused You De. What kind of doctor would forget where he placed his surgical instruments?
Found them The doctor took out a sewing needle and a fruit knife from the drawer. My blade has been stolen, so this will have to do.
Fear started to attack You De again. He realised that the doctor before him was completely different from the image of the doctor with the framed certificate on the clinic wall.
Doctor, Im sorry for asking, but who is that doctor in the picture? You De asked carefully, afraid of provoking the man.
Him? The doctor shook his head. I dont know him. I think hes the doctor of this clinic.
If hes the doctor, who are you? You De felt like he couldnt breathe.
My name is Zuo Bo. I believe I should be a doctor. But the voting paper I got said that The doctor opened the paper to take a look. It said a patient. What kind of profession is a patient? Am I going to be sick my whole life?
Zuo Bos ramblings made You De feel like he wanted to die. Earlier, he was about to be killed. Now, he was put under, and he couldnt even beg to die.
Zuo Bo put back his white coat to reveal the patients garb underneath. He looked like a patient who had just escaped the asylum. Dont be scared. Ill stitch all the openings up, including your eyes, ears, nose and mouth
Zuo Bos eyes turned strange. His pupils rolled up. When he was about to lose control, blood mist filtered out of his nose.
No. I will do something so cruel. What is happening to me? Since that one day, Ive been resisting that thing in my mind! I am not crazy! I am not! Zuo Bo suddenly waved his knife around in the air around him.
Seeing this, You Des heart chilled. He suddenly felt like he would be safer with Wang Jie. Just as You De thought things couldnt get worse, half of Zuo Bos face twisted. It was as if something wanted to crawl out. That thing was not a human.
Get back! Go away! Dont come out to harm me!
Brother, who-who are you talking to?
Blood mist floated into the clinic. Zuo Bos voice turned shrill. Half of his face was transforming. Compared to the other students, Zuo Bo was affected the most because he had discovered something in his brain many years ago. He had been trying to figure out what it was.
Triggered by the blood mist, the unknown thing inside Zuo Bos brain was like a child who heard his mother. It was rapidly growing. The more he wanted to fight the thing, the stronger the thing became. It not only amplified Zuo Bos negative emotions but also polluted the people around him, making them unstable. The shadow world wanted to infiltrate the real world. Many horrors that shouldnt exist in the normal world started to be seen by the public.
I will not let you succeed! Ill trap you inside my brain! Get back!
As the blood mist spread, similar things were happening all over the city. As long as the students of Class 13 were around, tragedy wouldnt be far behind. Every one of them was an anchor of the shadow world. As long as they were still alive, they would continuously affect the area around them.
In the corner of the school life, You Liang put down the collection of jokes he was reading. He looked at his hand in shock. The blood in his palm was rapidly fading. Patches of shadow appeared on his body.
Is my nightmare losing control?
If You Liangs nightmare was a healthy adult, then this adult body started to show symptoms of illness, and the illness was spreading fast.
Did someone poison my nightmare?
