Chapter 26: Tube Building (Twenty-Six) Are three people too many?
"It'll kill people."
Wen Yin loosened her fingers and slightly moved away from Shen Sinian's embrace.
"Of course I am afraid."
"So that's how it is."
Seeing that Wen Yin was fine, Shen Sinian returned to his seat, but his eyes were still fixed on Wen Yin's slender white fingers.
"That's why these hands can cut the homeless man's throat without hesitation."
The young man's gaze extended from the slender white wrist upwards and fell on Wen Yin's amber pupils, which were filled with physiological tears due to suffocation.
"Is it right?"
Wen Yin was stunned, and when she looked up, she met Shen Sinian's sharp eyes full of exploration.
But she did not feel embarrassed or awkward about being caught. Instead, after calming down, she held her chin with her hand and tilted her head towards the other person.
"Then Dr. Shen is also very interesting."
"You clearly know everything, yet you still come knocking on the door pretending to be a gentleman. What's Dr. Shen up to?"
"Oh."
Shen Sinian, who was outmaneuvered by Wen Yin, chuckled, then suddenly took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows in a worried manner.
When he looked up again, he looked 60% similar to the landlord without glasses.
"Wen Yin, you are really special."
The young man raised the corners of his narrow eyes slightly, with a gentle and faint smile on the corners of his mouth. Just looking at his appearance, others might think he was saying sweet words.
"I kill people without mercy, and I'm not afraid of the strange-looking Ah Wu."
The smile on Shen Sinian's lips deepened.
"Even though they had discovered corpses buried everywhere, they were still acting as if nothing had happened."
He casually raised his glasses. "Even after learning some secrets, he still stayed and maneuvered without fear."
"Wen Yin..."
The young man finished his words with a long lingering tone. He put on his glasses again, but the pupils behind the lenses seemed to be covered by the irises of some cold-blooded animal, coldly locking onto her.
"Yesterday, were you spying on me... in the void?"
[Host! ! ! ]
028, who was watching the show quietly, was startled and jumped out immediately.
[The target of the mission must not be made aware of the existence of this other dimension, otherwise this small world will be at risk of premature collapse!!]
Wen Yin's heart trembled, but there was no abnormal reaction on her face.
She still kept her chin in her hand, her elbows lightly resting on the table, still looking so weak and docile.
“Doctor Shen, what are you talking about?”
"I don't understand."
Their eyes met, and the flow of time seemed to be infinitely long in these few seconds.
Wen Yin could even hear her own breathing and heartbeat slowed down dozens of times under the other person's gaze.
Until Xiaotuan's soft voice came from the side, with confusion: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Shen Sinian was pulled on the sleeve by Xiaotuan, and finally looked away. He tilted his head and lowered his eyes, and his gaze fixed on Xiaotuan for a few seconds.
Finally, he slowly said, "We were just chatting. Xiaotuan is still young, so it's normal that he doesn't understand."
When their eyes separated, Wen Yin felt temporarily relieved. Then she heard Xiao Tuan asking about the gambler's mother, and his eyes were full of hope when he looked at her.
"Sister, has the bad guy been caught?"
"Not yet," Wen Yin shook her head gently, "but evil will be punished..."
"Xiaotuan, wait a little longer, okay?"
-
Xiaotuan quickly became sleepy after lunch. Shen Sinian held her and she lay on his shoulder. She fell asleep in a short while.
During lunch break, the hospital became quiet. Xiaotuan was placed in the nurses' lounge and was looked after by several enthusiastic colleagues.
The corridor was quiet. Wen Yin followed Shen Sinian and stood in the corridor, only to realize that they were the only two people around.
"You came to the hospital, not to see me."
Shen Sinian suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Yin: "You are here to see Chen Si, right?"
Wen Yin did not refute.
She had no intention of hiding what happened last night. Besides, these three people came from the same source, so she didn't think Shen Sinian would be unaware of what happened last night.
He was just observing silently.
Observe what this sudden variable will do.
"I think I was a bit heavy-handed yesterday..."
Wen Yin showed a worried look on her face, "I'm just afraid that he's dead..."
"oh?"
Shen Sinian said "oh" with interest, his eyes burning.
"From what I hear, it seems like you still want to do something?"
"Of course," Wen Yin looked straight at the young man in front of her who was looking down at her, her eyebrows curved, "After all, I promised Xiaotuan, I can't go back on my word."
"What do you say, Dr. Shen?"
A gust of wind blew through the corridor, slightly lifting the young man's black hair on his forehead and also moving Wen Yin's hair that fell by her ear.
Shen Sinian suddenly raised his hand, and his slender and slightly cool fingertips brushed across her fair cheek.
He gently tucked the strand of black hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ear.
"Indeed, once you've promised something, you can't go back on your word."
He casually touched the wound on Wen Yin's earlobe that was bitten by the landlord, and a flash of emotions passed through his eyes.
"Go ahead, I look forward to hearing your good news."
-
With Dr. Shen's guidance, Wen Yin quickly found the ward where Chen Si was.
Wen Yin stood outside the door and looked inside. There were several beds in the ward, but it was obvious that only Chen Si was staying there.
At this time, Chen Si had woken up and was looking at the window with a dull look. His elderly mother was sitting in front of the hospital bed, crying and wailing.
"Oh my God, what sin have I committed!!!"
"The Chen family's roots are cut off like this, leaving behind no children..."
"How can I, an old woman, have the dignity to go down and meet the ancestors of the Chen family!!"
The ward was filled with hoarse cries, and Chen Si on the hospital bed was unmoved as if he had lost his soul.
"You, why on earth did you do this!..."
The old lady cried heart-wrenchingly. Seeing that Chen Si ignored her, she slapped the bed hard and accidentally pulled Chen Si's wound.
Chen Si only let out a scream, and instantly bent over in pain like a shrimp, curled up on the hospital bed, sweating profusely.
"Son, son, ah..." Seeing the man's painful expression, the old lady felt sorry for him again.
"My son, you've suffered so much!!!"
"But why do you do this..."
"Why is that..."
"It's Song Wan..."
A suppressed and trembling voice came from the head of the bed. Chen Si, who had recovered from the pain, turned around with a pale face.
"Mom, Song Wan is here to seek revenge on me..."
"She has been pestering me for a long time. As soon as I fall asleep, she tortures me in my dreams..."
"She forced me to cut it off..."
"She forced me to do it!"
"I thought I was dreaming!! I thought I was having a nightmare!"
Chen Si became a little incoherent.
"The nightmare is terrible. The nightmare is so terrible. It's like being cut into pieces."
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, Mommy!!"
Looking at her son's embarrassed and frightened look, the old lady's wrinkled face suddenly froze.
She first showed disbelief, then seemed to remember something and suddenly stood up in fear. The chair under her made a sharp sound as it rubbed against the ground.
Swish!
The sharp tone penetrated her eardrums and spread throughout the ward. She suddenly thought of the same dream she had had for several nights in a row.
In the dream, she was repeatedly forced to drown in the bucket of pungent disinfectant, and her body was thrown into a field of weeds and mud on a rainy night.
From that strange perspective, she could even feel the disinfectant rushing into her nasal cavity and eroding her alveoli.
She felt the slippery mud covering her mouth, nose, and whole body, burying her in the soil, and the desperate and suffocating pressure.
Finally, she could even feel the pain of plant roots penetrating her body, wrapping around her bones, using her as nutrients, dismantling and absorbing her.
It was so dense that the pain seeped into the cracks of her bones.
She originally thought that she was just too nervous, but now, looking at Chen Si who was about to collapse, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
"Dream..."
"Dream..."
The old lady murmured with a faded look on her face, suddenly bent down and held Chen Si's arm tightly.
"Could it be true...she's here for revenge..."
The man on the bed tilted his head slightly in a daze, his gaze suddenly passing through the old man in front of him and falling on the door in the distance.
“Song Wan…it’s Song Wan!!!”
"She followed..."
"Mom, she's following!"
"Hurry up and drive her away!"
The old lady turned around in panic and only saw a fleeting silhouette.
-
Wen Yin left after listening for a while.
[It seems that the old lady also has nightmares every day.]
028 concluded: [Not only the people in the building, but also those living outside the building, as long as they have done something wrong, will be pulled into the dream and enjoy customized fear.]
It had been almost half an hour since she had separated from Shen Sinian, but the cold touch of Shen Sinian's fingertips seemed to still linger on Wen Yin's earlobe.
She didn't have the heart to look at Chen Si again.
Seeing Wen Yin touching her earlobe, 028's attention was quickly diverted.
[Host, what's wrong with you?]
Wen Yin touched her ear again: [It feels cold, a little uncomfortable.]
[Is Chen Sinian jealous because he saw the wound on your earlobe?]
After listening to gossip for a while in the hospital, 028 seemed to have acquired the ability to gossip about everything.
[But isn't the landlord also his clone, a descendant of the same origin?]
[According to this statement, he is jealous of himself?]
Seeing Wen Yin looking thoughtful, 028 spoke again in confusion.
[I still don't understand. Given the current situation, does the host have to maintain relationships with all three of them and deal with them simultaneously?]
[Isn’t this… a bit tiring…?]
[After all, it’s three…three…]
In order to understand the complex emotions of human beings, 028 recently downloaded a number of best-selling books in human society.
It covers countless types such as Qiang Mou Ai, Gu Mou Ke, En Mou Pi, etc.
Having gained additional knowledge, it now worries only about the future of its host.
[Three is indeed a bit too many...]
Wen Yin touched her earlobe and suddenly spoke.
[I have to try.]
[ah? ? ? ]
028 I couldn’t believe my ears.
[Host, you...what are you going to try???]
Wen Yin curled the corners of her lips.
[Try to see how closely they are related to each other...]
[And... who is the real speaker.]
