Chapter 385 They Want a Way to Bring You Back to Life
Even though she had only taken a few piano lessons and learned a few simple pieces, the one she practiced the most and remembered the most was "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", which was as simple as it could be.
But when she saw the piano in the brochure, she immediately thought that she should check the results of those lessons.
She played a few syllables tentatively to make sure she still remembered the key positions, took a deep breath, and pressed them lightly.
But her fingertips did not land steadily on the keys as expected, but suddenly slipped, leaving a bloody mark on the snow-white keys.
"Bang!"
A sharp knocking sound echoed through the hall.
The bright red blood slowly flowed out from the fingertips and seeped into the gaps between the keys.
Gu Nan stared blankly at the piece of skin rubbing against the piano keys, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, making his whole body numb with cold.
With just a light press, the skin on her fingertips peeled off.
Mixed with sticky blood and stuck to the clean piano keys, it was so eerie that it seemed like the scene of a horror movie.
Gu Nan never thought that such a horrific scene would happen to him.
My mind was blank, there was a distorted low hum in my ears, and my heart seemed to be tied with a stone and thrown into an endless abyss.
It keeps falling and falling, but it never reaches the bottom.
Someone rushed over and held her hand to stop the bleeding, someone shouted loudly for a doctor to come and treat her urgently, and someone came and went around her.
Everyone surrounded her and kept talking and asking questions.
But Gu Nan could not hear or see anything clearly. His thin body was as stiff as a piece of wood, standing rigidly in front of the black piano.
She racked her brains and repeatedly reviewed the knowledge she had learned over the past ten years.
What kind of disease is this? It is so cruel that it can't even leave her with a complete body.
“Breathe, breathe!”
Someone pinched her knuckles tightly and whispered in her ear, "Sister, breathe!"
Someone else put an oxygen mask on her face quickly and forcefully, causing her head to hit the ground.
"elder sister!"
"Sister, look at me, look at me!"
"Gu Nansheng, breathe!"
There was a lot of noise and scrambling, as if they were engaged in a fierce race.
But Gu Nan couldn't hear clearly, as if the sound was pushed into her ears by a deep and turbulent sea, and it had become a ball of ambiguous water waves.
Suddenly, golden light flashed before my eyes one after another.
The sea water was pushed aside, the waves were calmed, and the senses sunk in the sand were pulled out forcefully.
Gu Nan twitched, as if a drowning person finally surfaced. He opened his mouth greedily and took a deep breath of precious air.
"Breathe!"
"Alright, alright, I'm breathing!"
"Thank God! He's been saved!"
Consciousness gradually returned, and vision gradually recovered.
Gu Nan opened her eyes slightly. There were crowds of people, and there was only a pitiful space above her that was squeezed by heads. Many pairs of eyes were staring at her, as if they were watching some rare animal.
They were the staff of the manor and the doctors in white coats who were hurriedly called in. They were all smiling, and their smiles were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
There were also Lin Jingzhe and Cui Shao. They were also crowded in the crowd and staring at her. Their eyes were red, their expressions were tense, and there was still a trace of fear on their faces that was hard to dispel.
Amidst the relaxed cheers, Gu Nan heard a few suppressed cries.
She turned her eyes to look in the direction of the crying sound, and saw a black head lying on her crying.
It was Qi Yan, he loved crying the most.
And Lin Jingchun, it was he who pinched her palm. Even though she was awake at this moment, his hand was still tightly clasped on her palm.
His face was also covered with tears, not much better than Qi Yan's, but he cried quietly, with only big drops of hot tears falling on the back of her hand.
The golden light that appeared in the field of vision should be the seal of Jun Yijie. Only he has such fancy means.
Gu Nan wanted to laugh.
It was strange that she could still smile when she would soon be an unrecognizable corpse.
But Gu Nan couldn't cry. Instead of crying, she would rather smile more.

After the incident at the hot spring villa, Gu Nan's body seemed to have received some signal and completely collapsed.
She slept longer and had a very poor appetite. She would vomit out all the water she drank. She had to rely on doctors to give her nutritional injections.
Chunyi's spiritual power was of little use except for relieving her pain and allowing her to sleep better.
Gu Nan wakes up at irregular times every day and falls asleep again in a daze. Sometimes he doesn't even see the sun all day.
The day before Chinese New Year, Cui Shao suddenly asked her, "Grandma wants to see you. Do you want to see her?"
Gu Nan's thoughts were in chaos. It took him a while to sort out the cause and effect. "Let's meet."
Gu Nan was in too poor health to move, so he could only meet the old lady while sitting on the bed.
The old lady did not come alone. Cui Yue, who was supporting her, was by her side, with his head lowered and his face submissive, like a responsible bodyguard.
Cui Shao and Qi Yan did not come in. It was not known whether they were unwilling to come in or the old lady did not allow them to come in.
Gu Nan was supported by Chunyi and sat against the head of the bed, his hands casually placed on the quilt, and almost every finger was wrapped in gauze.
She tried to cheer herself up and said softly, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Even if she didn't eat or drink, her throat would inevitably become inflamed and festered. She had to be injected with anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs every day to stabilize the condition, and her throat had long been hoarse.
The old lady had prepared a speech in her mind, but when she saw Gu Nan, it became difficult for her to speak.
However, after just half a month of not seeing each other, Gu Nan had become very thin, his clothes were loose, his face was pale, his lips were pale, and his unhappy look revealed a gloomy and dead look.
Anyone who saw her knew that she would not live long.
Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, Gu Nan smiled and said, "Actually, I know what you want to say."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yue raised his eyes and looked at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan noticed his gaze and looked up as well.
The gaunt face and cold eyes, even with a smile, reveal endless coldness.
Cui Yue frowned slightly and whispered, "Do you really know?"
Gu Nan raised an eyebrow, motioning him to continue.
Cui Yue was in a dilemma the moment he started talking. Seeing that the old lady had no intention of stopping him, he continued, "They want the method for your resurrection."
Cui Shao put it mildly.
To put it bluntly, what they want is eternal life.
What is important is that even if the body dies, the soul can still enter a new body with its memories, continuing the eternal life of power and wealth.
If they get the method, the next research direction will inevitably be cloning and gene snatching.
They will never be satisfied with just the immortality of the soul, but will further pursue the immortality of the body, screening or adding better genes to change the physical conditions.
It goes without saying where the better genes come from - the so-called upper class and the so-called lower class with superior genes.
This world will become a toy for one or a few people.
Gu Nan had already guessed the answer and didn't react violently. He asked, "Are you here to convince me to hand over the method?"
