Chapter 268 Nightmare
The door was kicked open, and the people outside watched helplessly as their husband, who had always been noble and untainted by the world, came out carrying a person who was soaking wet and in disheveled they were surprised, they each went about their duties. The servant went into the room to clean up, and the doctor quickly followed with the medicine box.
The two people smoking at the end looked at each other, put out their cigarettes and followed behind.
The two female doctors came in, and Si Qi finally had time to unbutton his wet coat.
The tall man was shocked when he saw the bloodstains on Si Qi's exposed skin. It was not difficult to guess how dangerous it was in the room just now.
He reminded gently, "Sir, let the doctor bandage you."
Si Qi stood against the wall, eyes lowered, silent. Damp mist slid down from the ends of his hair to his chin, and a sense of coldness permeated his whole body.
The tall man looked at the person next to him.
"Sir, please go and clean up first. Nan Zhi will need you when she wakes up later."
Si Qi's eyelids twitched slightly, and he stood up, "Guard it."
The two men responded and watched Si Qi walk away before they breathed a sigh of relief.
The tall man reminded, "Don't call her Nan Zhi in front of the gentleman from now on."
The man was puzzled, "Why?"
"She is not considered a member of Linjiang now."
"Didn't you not enter Linjiang before?"
The tall man sighed, "In the past, the master...really treated her as a Linjiang person and trained her."
The severe winter in the capital has come early, and everything is bleak after the heavy rain. The floor heating in the room has long been turned on, so it doesn't matter even if you are wearing thin clothes.
The female doctor changed Shen Manzhi's clothes. When she saw the woman's wrists were handcuffed with iron chains beside the bed, she sighed softly, turned sideways to take the scissors, cut open the dirty and wet clothes, and replaced them with new ones.
Another doctor was responsible for cleaning the wound, wiping it with alcohol, applying ointment, and then carefully applying a bandage, "Poor child."
"She hadn't been here for a long time, and I thought she was getting better."
There were more bloodstains on the arm. The doctor frowned, "She must be in so much pain that she has to stay alert all the time. This is the only way to keep herself awake."
"She has severe psychological trauma."
"It has always happened. My husband has asked someone to see her, but she is too resistant. Every time, it takes my husband to accompany her to get through it."
After saying that, he sighed again.
He hasn't eaten for a long time and is not fully awake yet, so he can only be given a nutritional injection.
The doctor held Shen Manzhi's forearm and pushed the injection into the vein. The moment he pulled out the needle, the person on the bed suddenly fell into a nightmare.
Dense beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the sides of her hair. Her slender white wrist was clenched into a fist and suddenly raised up, causing the iron chain to make a "squeaking" sound. The blue veins on her neck were prominent. Her face was filled with panic and fear, as if she was in great pain.
"Go and call the gentleman!"
Si Qi had just changed his clothes, and upon hearing this, he put on a thin shirt and hurried over here.
The person on the bed whimpered in pain and struggled with his limbs, but was unable to escape because his wrists were locked. It was like being hung on a fire, unable to escape the despair no matter how strong his desire to live was.
He walked over quickly, leaned over and knelt beside the bed, reached out and pinched her jaw, parted her tightly clenched lips, and rubbed her temple to wake her up.
"Shen Manzhi! Open your eyes and look at me!"
The person being called had her eyes tightly closed, as if she was enduring great pain. The handcuffs left horrible bloody marks on her wrists, but she seemed to be unaware of the pain, and the deep teeth marks on her lips were slowly oozing blood.
In the dark and damp basement, the sound of breathing and the gnawing of wild beasts eating were creepy.
The narrow path was only wide enough for one person to pass through. With all my internal organs squeezed together, I crawled towards the end, the sound of heavy breathing following closely behind me.
There was a dim wall lamp at the end. The scarred hand was about to touch the door handle. The breathing sound behind him instantly approached him. A huge monster leaned over above him, and the whimpering sound filled his ears.
In her dream, she turned over and lay on her back without any hesitation, her eyes fixed on the thing above. The self-defense dagger that she had been holding tightly in her hand suddenly stabbed into the pulse under her fur, and hot blood immediately splashed all over her face.
The bizarre colors in my mind changed. The experimental liquid chamber several meters high was filled with monkeys of various sizes. The experimenter in full body protection pushed a cart full of needles and medicine to a mechanical door, and entered another space after facial recognition.
In the cold experimental chamber lay many living people sleeping.
The scene changed and she became the person lying inside, the medicine was pushed into the vein, and the digital display screen above her was displaying brain wave data in real time. She could even feel the flow of blood in her body.
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded, sounding continuously like a death warrant.
People kept pouring in, and those lying in the cabin were lifted up like zombies, with their wrists and ankles handcuffed together.
The alarm was still sounding, and the sound of bombing also reached the experimental cabin. She was thrown into a corner and watched those blurry figures destroying the scene in a panic.
Until someone came to her crookedly, smiled like a madman, and inserted a needle into her pulse.
"Don't bite! Be obedient and don't bite yourself!"
Si Qi felt her teeth clenching hard again, and her snow-white cheeks on both sides were sunken. He could only quickly reach out his arm and put it into her mouth.
"Well"
The strange flesh and blood must be torn to pieces, only in this way can she escape.
Memories like shredded paper flooded into her mind. Amidst the hail of bullets, a blurry figure was always close behind her. The moment she fell to the ground, the warmth of the bullet grazed her shoulder and neck, passed through her and into the man's body.
The blood mixed with the mud flowed into the river. She was the only one kneeling among the corpses in the deep forest. The blood from her brow flowed to her jaw, dripping into the brown mud and disappearing.
"Shen Manzhi!"
The calling voice coming from far away brought her back to reality. She opened her eyes suddenly like a drowning person being rescued from the shore, and pearl-like transparent tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
he died.
Si Qi's expression finally relaxed a little and he untied the handcuffs that bound her.
Shen Manzhi slowly turned his eyes to look at him, the redness in his eyes becoming deeper.
Si Qi's heart tightened, he gently held her wrist, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "It's okay, it's okay."
Her whole body began to tremble, tears flowing uncontrollably, and her usually indifferent eyes were now filled with panic and helplessness after surviving a disaster.
There was a trace of pity in Si Qi's eyes. He held her in his arms like every time before, feeling her ups and downs, until she calmed down completely and escaped from the nightmare.
I don’t know how much time passed until half of my body felt stiff and I finally felt the steady breathing of the person in my arms.
He carefully protected Shen Manzhi as she lay on the bed, covered the corner of the quilt, took the small jade bottle beside her, half-knelt beside the bed, lowered his head and applied medicine to her injured wrist.
Round and round, time and time again, year after year.
When she wakes up, she will forget everything.
The cotton swab in Si Qi's hand paused at the scar on her wrist, and his long black feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly.
It was a bow that Shen Manzhi had never seen before. He spoke in a low, hoarse voice as if mumbling to himself, "I'm sorry..."
There was a light knock on the door, and Si Qi's expression suddenly turned cold. He looked at Shen Manzhi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, reached out to feel the temperature of her forehead, and tucked the corner of the quilt before leaving the room.
Knocking on the door at this time must be an urgent matter.
Beneath Si Qi's seemingly nonchalant expression was indifference and coldness.
The tall man didn't dare to look at his master's face for too long, but the situation was urgent and he had no choice but to say, "Sir, a visitor has arrived."
Si Qi endured it and said coldly, "No."
The tall man quickly added, "The higher-ups called us personally and asked us to receive them. They said the other party's surname is Qin and they are looking for someone."
Si Qi paused and glanced at the door behind him.
Quite capable.
"Since the higher-ups have spoken, let's meet them."
