Chapter 57 052. "The Purifier"
Seeing the man in front of him turn into charred dust, and the sparks extinguished, a sense of sadness surged in Li Ming's heart.
He knelt down and stretched out his dry right hand, ignoring the heat of the dust. The breeze that came from nowhere after touching it blew away the black dust between Li Ming's two fingers. It was as fragile as life. .
Li Dang glanced at the smoke and dust piled on the ground on the other side, his eyes filled with coldness.
"It's time to end it."
Li Ming thought that although there were still many secrets buried in this laboratory, his mind at the moment was not focused on these "unsolved mysteries" at all.
Pinching a trace of black dust on his fingertips, Li Ming stood up slowly. The lights in the room flickered. He naturally raised his head and breathed deeply, trying to calm his confusion. Or should I bid farewell to the past in my heart, I don’t know.
Just when Li Dang was about to turn around and start investigating the nutrition room, he was startled by a figure who didn't know when he appeared behind him.
Li Dang did not show any obvious fright. He just took a few steps back instinctively, leaning his last heel against the wall and staring at the uninvited guest warily.
At the same time, a sense of doubt arose in my heart. I remember that when the carrot locked him in at the beginning, he clearly said that the door of this so-called "sanctuary" requires a key to open. If Without the key, no coercive means can open it.
Who is this guy in front of me?
How did he open this door?
But having said that, he should have realized that this was a closed space. The breeze that just blew away his fingertips should indicate that the door has been opened. It took him so long to see it. Someone is standing behind me.
Is there no sound of footsteps when this person walks?
"I guessed that there must be someone here." The visitor was wearing a neat suit, with his hands behind his back, his expression filled with an unknown smile, "I learned about the situation from Kuroki. Your name is Li Ming, right?”
Li Ming looked wary and nodded slightly, while at the same time speculating in his mind on the identity of the person in front of him.
He just said "black wood"? Could it be that weird doctor's friend? But why... break into the daydream of medical treatment?
The visitor didn't mind Li Ming's indifference, his smile widened, and he looked at the young man up and down with amusement in his eyes.
“When Kuroki talked about you, he described you as a tall person, and said you were the most talented among this group of patients with White Night Syndrome. Now it seems that you are no different from ordinary people. It’s no different, a little disappointing.”
After saying this, the visitor stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip, his eyes were like observing a prey, which always gave people a sense of discomfort.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Shiratiao and my given name is Qian. I am the "purifier" of the hospital. ”
“The Purifier”?
In a literal sense, purging means that some organizations eliminate certain people or groups that are considered to have improper identities. By adding the word "person", it can be understood that they are people who specialize in doing this kind of thing.
But if you understand these three words together, there seems to be similar professions throughout history. After large-scale trials, these people were executed, and those who wielded the blade were these so-called The existence of "purifier".
Then adding the setting of White Night Syndrome into these three words, and adding in the unconcealed excitement for the patient in the man who calls himself "Shiratori Qian", could it be that this guy Are you here to eliminate these patients?
Thinking of this, Li Guodun felt nervous. He looked around unnaturally, clutching the dagger tightly, preparing to take the opportunity to leave here.
Anyway, the door has been opened, and his main purpose now is to pour the experimental solution into the plant greenhouse according to Jiang Wenli’s last words before his death. Although some bad things were released, in the end it was can achieve the purpose of escape.
“Bah!”
Seeing that Bai Niaoqian was a little unconcerned, Li Ming quickly held the handle of the dagger upside down and rushed towards the door as fast as possible. He even scratched Shiratori's smooth suit with a dagger.
A cut was made in the suit, and because Li Ming's strength was not strong, the tip of the dagger only made a small cut on Bai Niao's arm, and a wisp of blood seeped out.
It was originally thought that if the dagger touched the blood, it would cause spontaneous combustion, and then the so-called "Purger" would say goodbye to this world completely.
However, the reality did not develop as Li Ming thought at all. The blood just flowed down slowly, and there were no traces of flames where it connected with the dagger, not even a spark.
This guy.
Jiang Wenli said that a dagger can cause spontaneous combustion when it comes into contact with human blood, but the man in front of him did not burn. Does this mean that this guy is not a human at all? !
"Mr. Li, you said that at your age, don't you know not to point the tip of the dagger at other people when holding an item that can easily hurt someone like a dagger?"< br>
Shiratiao's face was a little ugly, and his tone was annoyed. He looked at his suit that had been cut with some distress, and sighed.
Then, a scene that even more surprised Li Dang appeared -
Bai Niao just stretched out his long white fingers and wiped it on the damaged suit, and the suit was soon intact. There was no damage, and the tiny blood mark closed and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, not even leaving a scar.
Not humans, with such high-speed self-healing capabilities.
Combining these two situations, Li Dao could only think of the word "monster", which made him, a materialist, even more panicked. He walked faster and faster, wanting to leave here in a shorter time. .
I can't afford to offend him, but I can afford to hide, right?
“Bang!”
There was a crisp sound of snapping fingers from behind. Just when Li Dang was confused, the thick iron door in front of him was opened, leaving a gap that could allow a person to pass through. In the blink of an eye, The time returned to its original state.
It is not tightly closed due to the movement of the iron door, but more like appearing out of thin air, just like when placing blocks in "Minecraft" in creative mode, blocks appear out of thin air, which makes Li Ming Some didn't believe what they just saw.
"Mr. Li, if you are anxious and want to leave here, you can tell me, but don't say hello, otherwise I will always feel that you are staying away from me because you hate me."
The voice of the white bird was getting closer and closer, and the young man turned his head to look. At this time, he stretched out his fair and slender right hand and made a somewhat strange gesture. Although he couldn't understand it, it always made people feel "elegant".
“I really don’t understand why every time I enter a white dream and show up next to a patient to reveal my identity, someone wants to attack me. I feel aggrieved.”
“I’m just using it to clear things up. I am just a cleaner cleaning up the world of Baimeng. It can be said to be the lowest profession in the hospital. Why do you patients treat me like this? "
Shiratori said this with a slight expression. His aggrieved eyes were cast on the young man in front of him.
Li Dang finally realized what the word that had been hovering in his mind was. Seeing this guy's appearance, it always gave people the illusion of being a "sissy". It was not elegant at all. Look Too much is simply nauseating rather than comforting.
Staring at the strange man in front of him, Li Ming subconsciously took a step back. While thinking about how to get rid of this sissy's control, he was thinking about what this guy just said.
"The cleaner who cleans up the collapsed white dream world"?
In other words, his appearance in the world of white dreams indicates that the white dream he is in has reached the edge of collapse.
And he is just the lowest-level profession used to deal with these white dreams?
Li Dang frowned, feeling something was wrong no matter how much he thought about it.
"Stop talking nonsense. You can heal yourself at such a high speed and have the ability to make an iron door appear out of thin air and block the exit with a snap of your fingers. No matter how you think about it, you are not an existence worthy of belief!"
In order to express his inner emotions and thoughts, Li Dang had to write on the white paper he carried with him, and then showed it to the man in front of him who was looking at him with interest.
"Don't always talk to me like you know me very well. It's obviously the first time we've met. Would a normal person try every means to get close to someone they're meeting for the first time?!"
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to have such an impression of me. I’m really sad.”
Shiratori spread his hands, a helpless expression covering his face.
"But Mr. Li, you don't have to worry about your NG being triggered when you are around me. When you are around the hospital's professional "purifier", your NG will be temporarily "invalidated". ”
“Although language NG is a kind of NG that can basically be regarded as unsolvable, I feel sad for you when I think that you always need to use words to communicate with other people. "
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed. In this white dream, due to the special environmental influence, he had become increasingly confused about his NG count, and he did not react for a while.
He He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Li Ming was still hesitant because he had never heard of the profession of "Purifier" and was skeptical of his abilities after meeting this strange man. , and he didn’t know who to believe.
But Shiratori Qian is indeed right about his NG, which is the language category. Just like what he said, the language category is basically unsolvable. As long as you pay a little attention, you can live for a long time.
This type of NG is different from the physical NG like coriander. The latter is easier to trigger, so patients like Naotsugu Watanabe usually hunt patients who are more willing to trigger these physical NG for the sake of high efficiency.
However, when talking about "cilantro", Li Ming vaguely felt that something was not right. He seemed to remember that the girl he saw at the ramen restaurant before and was framed by Naoji Watanabe after his disguise seemed to have the last name "Takeshita".
So based on the experimental records seen in this white dream world, the junior high school student Takeshita who was combined with the iron holly tree, are they two siblings?
It turns out that in this whole white dream, every detail has a foreshadowing of reality.
Li Ming nodded to himself. He should have thought of it a long time ago. At the same time, he regretted that he did not investigate all the experimental records about Dr. Mitarai in the desk drawer in the old room. In that case, he might be able to spy on more information. Details of Multiple White Nights Syndrome.
Isn’t this what he and Jiang Wenkan were investigating initially?
Back to Shiratori Qiangami, who was right about his NG, there is no way to prove that he is the hospital's profession
Even if he is really sent by the hospital to clean up The purifier who collapsed the white dream, but according to the nature of the hospital, it is not ruled out that some hunters are among them.
Because there has been such an example before——
After being told to fill in the registration of wishes and identity information, some hospital staff will wait at the door and then talk to the new patient and ask for his NG.
Is the Shiratori Qian in front of me the same kind of person?
"Hey, Mr. Li, if you continue to stand there in a daze, your fellow patients will have no time."
White Bird's voice was urgent, but it was only in the words. With such emotions, looking at all his actions, he is the one who is unhurried and unhurried.
“I also know what you are thinking. This is the suspicious nature of private detectives like you. It is obvious that a matter that can be solved by simple trust must be made so complicated.”
"Your behavior reminds me of one of my colleagues, who is just as suspicious as you." Shiratiao paused, "Forget it, it's okay if you don't believe me, then you can continue to use your fifty-fifty You can’t even recognize accurate Japanese grammar to communicate with other people.”
Speaking of these words, Shiratori rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the dark gold watch on his right wrist.
“It’s really hard to understand the brain circuits of you people. A simple thing has to take such a long time. There are still two hours left in this purge. I don’t have time to spend it here with you. "Stay."
After saying this, Shiratori tidied up his clothes, whistling and swaying to the side of the heavy iron door, and then pressed the palm of his right hand against the iron door.
The thick iron door disintegrated into tiny iron particles in Li Mang's field of vision, suddenly disintegrated and fell to the ground.
"You guy!"
In these short ten minutes, Li Dian was almost stunned by the appearance and behavior of the white bird in front of him, and he almost blurted out.
After hearing Li Dang's voice, Bai Niaoqian's figure froze slightly, and then slowly turned his head, with an obvious smile on his face.
"What, Mr. Li? Are you finally willing to believe me? I will say that my profession at the bottom of the hospital is the most kind to patients like you."
The corners of Shiratori's mouth raised slightly, and then he stretched out his right hand towards the young man in front of him.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go and save your so-called teammates who are fellow White Dream patients. And let me, the purifier, clean up the mess caused by you group of patients."
"Alas. , when can I be promoted to become one of those "scavengers"? As long as If someone touches the body parts of that group of people, their lifespan will be shortened and they will also be affected badly."
The voice of the white bird muttering to himself disappeared as the iron door behind him closed tightly. Good
