Volume 3: Dance of the Aurora Chapter 14: Hearing the Truth in the Morning
Ai Bishui walked to the outer wall of the building, raised her right foot to test the height, and it seemed to be just enough to flip over.
She is not a person who likes sports by nature, but her body is very light. This is because she did not spend much time on studying in high school and junior high school, so compared with other students, she has a lot of spare energy to exercise.
Of all the sports, her favorite is swimming, because she likes the feeling of being able to move freely in the third dimension. After all, people cannot really fly in the sky like birds yet.
If you just rely on the iron box to travel through the air, you won't be able to feel the reality of flying.
She has always hoped that one day she could experience the feeling of diving in the sea. So far, she has only seen the sea once, when she was very young, and she no longer has much impression of it.
However, she has also heard many terrifying rumors about the sea, such as that strong winds and waves can sweep people away, and that there may be some disgusting monsters on the seabed. However, these legends, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false, will not stop her curiosity about this pool of top-grade culture fluid that has nurtured countless lives.
Besides, until last night, were there any creatures in the world more terrifying than humans?
Ai Bishui stared at the low wall for a long time and found that the conversation inside the house had disappeared. She wanted to go in and find out what was going on.
She jumped lightly into the yard. When she landed, the sole of her foot seemed to be pierced by broken glass, but there should be no scratches through the shoes. Her intuition told her that it would be very dangerous if she had new wounds on her body.
After entering the yard, she immediately saw Fang Cheng talking to the bracelet through the shattered window.
"Hey, what are you doing in here?"
"What? Ah... I was waiting for you."
The boy in front of me was covered in wounds, but he looked like he had just taken a shower.
"Oh my god, how did you get so many wounds..."
She carefully found a place without broken glass through the broken window and climbed into the house. After landing, she casually opened the shoulder bag she was carrying and took out a row of Band-Aids from it.
"Just sit here first. I'll take care of the wound on your face. It looks creepy, don't let it get infected."
As she spoke, Ai Bishui found a relatively clean spot on the ground, pressed Fang Cheng there, and prepared to carefully examine the wound on his face.
She put her eyes close to Fang Cheng's forehead and reached out to touch the bloodstain that had already hardened.
The boy opposite trembled and closed his eyes subconsciously.
"Ah? Does it hurt so much?"
Fang Cheng felt a small stream of warm, moist air blowing across his eyelids, and he closed his eyes tighter.
"It doesn't hurt, but don't be so sudden..."
"It's just a Band-Aid. It will be fine in a moment. Don't move."
I felt a wet and cool touch on my forehead. The tactile receptors at the ends of the nerves picked up the change in pressure gradient, and the generated electric current spread throughout my body in milliseconds.
Fang Cheng couldn't help but hum.
"Pfft, does it really hurt so much, or are you afraid of pain?" The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Uh...it's not about the pain..."
To be honest, after a night of pain in various parts of his body, he had long been accustomed to the feeling, and it even felt a bit good?
Some strange habit seemed to have awakened.
"The ones on your face are all taped, open your eyes."
Ai Bishui felt a little embarrassed after saying this. Closing her eyes made her feel as if she had just done something shameful. In fact, she just subconsciously didn't want to see the bloodstains.
This is also the instinct of living things.
"Do you have any other wounds on your body? You can take care of them yourself. I have plenty of Band-Aids here." She then pulled out a long bandage from her bag, "If you have any deeper wounds, you can use this."
"Why do you have such professional stuff..."
"Actually, these are all from the earthquake first aid kit. My parents asked me to put them in the dormitory. I didn't expect to use them today." Fang Cheng remembered that many places in Sichuan probably did need these things.
Thinking of this, he lifted up his trouser leg and saw a large black bloodstain.
"Hiss, what have you been through?" The girl opposite took a deep breath and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands.
"I've been through a lot of things... You probably wouldn't believe it even if I told you."
As she spoke, she tried to bite off the bandage with her teeth to bandage him, but the strips of cloth were much more flexible than she had imagined.
"That monster last night...did it appear from the laboratory building? Did you see where it came from?" She took out a very small pair of scissors from her bag, took one end of the bandage and cut it off.
"To be precise, we invented it."
There was a brief silence.
"It's not surprising. If any dynamic system has the same structure as the human brain, it will naturally have the functions of the human brain."
Fang Cheng felt himself swallowing as he spoke. He hadn't drunk much water since last night, and his throat was extremely dry when he woke up in the morning.
"Your design was completely successful."
Although the consequences are very serious, the success itself is great. Humans have finally cracked the secret of their own brains, although knowing this secret will immediately lead to extinction.
If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.
Fang Cheng raised his drooping eyelids and glanced at the girl next to him. Her face, which had been sunny just now, was now clouded with gloom. He had never seen her with such an expression.
In fact, he had never seen Ai Bishui in any distress, and she was rarely unhappy. It seemed that she was able to handle everything with ease, or at least hide her true thoughts.
This broken look made Fang Cheng feel an inexplicable joy in his heart, as if the distance between him and her had been shortened to some extent.
Today was really fruitful. Fang Cheng was now sitting on the dirty floor tiles with wounds all over his body. He was thirsty, hungry, and sleepy. His health had just been severely damaged, but his heart was extremely happy.
They just stared at each other in silence for a quarter of an hour.
"Did you...see with your own eyes the result of our experiment?"
"Not only did I see it with my own eyes, I was also chased by it in the corridor..."
He said and smiled, although the joke didn't seem very funny.
There was another brief silence.
"Let's not tell anyone about this..."
"…Is there anyone else I can talk to? But speaking of this, why didn't you leave this place with the rescue team…"
What Fang Cheng didn't know was that within a two-kilometer radius centered on him, the two of them were the only living humans.
