Chapter 647 Falling

                              The girl's head folded on the back was reattached to her neck,

“Thank you, please come with me~ This time we can walk out of the stairs.”

The girl politely expressed her thanks and took the initiative to lead the way, while the Rubik's Cube on her face continued to rotate.

This is the first time Catherine has seen such a strange ‘person’.

 She was certain that the girl was not infected with any disease, but the entire face and internal brain had been 'gouged out' and replaced by a weird Rubik's Cube.

 Such a strange posture has never been seen even among patients.

Although it can be achieved through physical transformation, it will never be as 'natural' as that of a little girl, and the Rubik's Cube embedded in her face seems to have multiple functions.

This is the first time Catherine has come into contact with powers other than the old world, except for the black liquid in William's brain.

  For a moment, her whole body seemed extremely excited, and her tongue was licking the surface of her dark lips. The greed in Catherine's body began to overflow, and she began to wonder if she could bring some 'superpowers' back from here.

  After all, the old world lost the war in ancient times. In Catherine's eyes, the world outside was stronger, and she was lucky enough to be exposed to it in advance. Such an opportunity must be seized.

Thinking of this, Catherine stepped forward quickly.

He walked in sync with the little girl and remained relatively still. He bent down and looked at the other person's face, looking at the Rubik's Cube structure that was occasionally rotating.

 “Fang…Fang, how did your face form?”

However, what came out of Catherine's mouth was an Old World language, and the little girl couldn't understand it at all. She tilted her head slightly and formed a question mark structure through the wrinkles on the surface of the Rubik's Cube.

 Catherine quickly changed her tune,

She has invaded William's brain not once or twice. This time, she also used William's brain to construct a real nightmare. In addition to combining with the epileptic brain, she can also ingest some other things, including memory and language.

Although I am not very familiar with it yet, I can barely pronounce similar syllables and understand the meaning.

 Hello, hello. May I ask how your face is formed?

“Is this it?” Fangfang pointed to the flesh and blood Rubik’s Cube between the grooves on her face without hesitation, “My favorite thing since I was a child is the Rubik’s Cube, and I even won a prize!

  When I was seven years old, I won the province's single and two-hand quick recovery championship of the third-level Rubik's Cube in the junior and middle school groups. My parents also bought me a lot of Rubik's Cubes at home.

However, my classmates in school all called me a freak because I spent a lot of time on the Rubik's Cube every day and had nothing in common with them.

One day I took the Rubik's Cube to school, but it was snatched away by my classmates when school was over. I wanted to **** it back, but during the fight, the Rubik's Cube flew out and landed on the road.

I didn’t think much about it at the time. I instinctively rushed over to pick up the Rubik’s Cube. As a result, a truck drove towards me.

I could feel the huge and heavy tire pressing over my head, pressing the Rubik's Cube right into my face. The broken eyeballs, nose, mouth and brain were all crushed and mixed with the Rubik's Cube.

Although I cannot control my body, my consciousness has always existed and has not died. I even feel that this state is very happy.

And I also believe that I will not die, because my mother said that because I won the award, a consecrated statue of the **** was awarded to me and placed at home. As long as our family kneels down and worship devoutly every day, the statue will protect us throughout our lives. No The situation of 'birth, old age, sickness and death' occurs.

 The ambulance came soon.

I vaguely heard what the doctor was communicating with my parents, and after asking them to sign some kind of agreement, I was taken here by ambulance and was imprisoned for almost a year and a half. "

  This answer made Catherine's eyes shine with a strange luster. This was obviously not a superpower caused by a disease, but a brand new thing.

However, William's focus was different.

He was more concerned about the last words, ‘The little girl was given a statue of a **** because she won a prize.’ The reason why she was able to survive and become what she is now was probably related to the statue of the **** and her strong obsession with the Rubik’s Cube.

Catherine wanted to ask a question but was interrupted by William.

“Fangfang, are the statues and shrines at your home the same as those in the ward? What are the possible differences?”

“The difference is huge! My statue has a big head, with the palms corresponding to the four arms attached to the sides of the head, and the statue has no face, giving people a very gentle feeling.

 After I kneel down devoutly at home every day, my brain becomes extremely clear.

 Furthermore, since the statue came to our house, our family has not been sick, and my parents will never quarrel again.

 The statues in the ward should be processed by the hospital, specifically targeting each patient and continuously absorbing their "essence" so that the patient can sleep for at least eighteen hours a day, making it easier to manage.

 As I carefully observed the shrines in the ward, I finally discovered the problem! The inner walls of the shrine are painted with spells written in our blood,

 The most important thing is the statue itself, which is mainly composed of rotten flesh of unknown origin, but some of our brain tissue is also mixed in between the rotten meat, which together form the statue itself.

 While we were in a coma or sleeping, a small part of the "prefrontal lobe" was removed by the hospital, mashed and mixed with rotten flesh to make a statue of a god, thereby imposing targeted restrictions on us. "

As she spoke, the little girl rotated her facial Rubik's Cube, and there were indeed signs of being removed in a certain area.

William and Catherine also touched their heads one after another, and they also felt the very superficial and difficult-to-detect craniotomy scars in their hair.

The little girl continued: "As long as there is the existence of the idol, it is impossible for the patient to escape. But you are very strange, you can actually escape from the shackles of the idol alone..."

 In fact, William did not break free from his bonds alone. During this period, he was in a state of confusion until Catherine sneaked into his ward and destroyed the statue.

“Is it because Catherine is fused with deep-sea genes and her brain is a combination of human brain and octopus brain? Maybe the part of the prefrontal lobe that was removed is just unnecessary? 』

When William cast his eyes on Catherine, all he got was a malicious smile.

"Come with me quickly. This hospital is very dangerous. I have been pretending not to be sensible and unable to use the Rubik's Cube, so I was left in the ward for observation. Otherwise, I might have been taken to another place."

 Because all exits to your escape hospital are sealed, the only place we can escape is on the roof. "

 Come to the stairwell again.

 The atmosphere became different under the leadership of the little girl.

 There is no longer the oppressive feeling of liminal space and the endless cycle of discomfort,

There is also fresh air flowing through the stairwell, and a large number of footsteps can even be heard going up and down. It seems that the hospital security personnel are searching the stairwell.

However, as the Rubik's Cube on the little girl's face rotates, the security personnel in the corridor can never encounter them and always linger on a certain floor.

“Fangfang, can you change the spatial structure?”

“No…I can only make a simple copy of the liminal space. I cannot affect some geometrically complex spaces.

If I forcibly change the space, my Rubik's Cube will explode. "

"Um."

 After walking up about twenty floors, we finally reached the rooftop of the hospital.

 But when the iron door was pushed open, in addition to the open rooftop and starry night view, what came into view were familiar faces.

The female doctor who was sitting next to William's bed and was responsible for questioning, and two security guards whose faces could not be seen clearly were standing beside her.

“Sure enough~ I just said that I couldn’t find you two. It turned out that I had reached a cooperative relationship with Xiaofang. I guessed that you would come here. After all, the rooftop is the only possible exit.

 Well, the cat and mouse game is over! Come back with me. "

Having said that, the security guard, whose face was covered with a white draping cloth, approached the three of them. The security guard was over three meters tall and as strong as a bear. A continuous white breath was exhaled from his mouth and nose, slightly blowing up the draping cloth on his face.

The most bizarre thing is undoubtedly the structure of their palms.

The size of its palm is three times larger than that of an ordinary person, and its surface is covered with suction cup-like structures. It seems to be best at 'grabbing people'.

 But just as the two security guards approached and were about to catch the escaping patient,

Catherine was as flexible as an octopus. She instantly wrapped herself around a person's body and sat on his shoulders. The security guard's head was twisted 480 degrees to face the female doctor behind her.

 As for the other security guard,

  Boom!

The body as strong as a bear was knocked back several meters and fell just beside the female doctor. There was a fist mark on the chest that went straight to the heart.

William looked at his fairly good arms and fists and nodded with satisfaction.

Just when the female doctor was still about to make a move, William had already pulled Catherine and the little girl to stand on the edge of the rooftop behind him.

 “Goodbye when we are destined.”

William made a farewell gesture, leaned back and fell off the rooftop.

   Herpes pharyngitis broke out in Xiao Ah Fei's kindergarten. He was not spared. He is now taken to the hospital. We will see the situation in the evening and may ask for leave.
