Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Really, really, really?"

Bai Yu was too lazy to answer, and just shrugged and spread his hands as a response.

Tao Rusu showed a look of loss and disappointment: "I still want to repay the favor."

Bai Yu: "How do you repay me? Give me money?"

"Vulgar, too vulgar! Unbearable!" Tao Rusu retorted loudly: "How could a supernatural being be short of money? Besides, that person looks like..."

"Yes?"

"The kind of handsome guy who can make a living with his looks!" Tao Rusu said seriously.

Bai Yu thought of himself in the portrait, and couldn't help but smile: "Indeed..."

He realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately changed his words: "It may indeed be as you said, but unfortunately, I didn't see it."

"One day or another, I'll let you see what our savior looks like!" Tao Rusu moved her butt backwards, causing something on the bedside cabinet to fall down.

"Ah, don't touch it!"

But it was too late. Bai Yu had already picked up the fallen object, which seemed to be a sketchbook, and when he turned it over, there was just a sketch.

He took a look and burst out laughing: "What kind of modern abstract painting is this?"

Tao Rusu snatched it away and held it to her chest, blushing and sticking out her tongue: "Pah, pah, pah, this is my painstaking work!"

Bai Yu spread his hands and said, "I can see it. It has a lot of Van Gogh's temperament."

"Really?" Tao Rusu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"However, Van Gogh was poor during his lifetime, and his paintings became famous only after his death." Bai Yu added unnecessarily.

"You're the only one who talks too much!" Tao Rusu held the album and said, "I'll start practicing slowly in the future. I'm sure I can draw what he looks like."

Bai Yu was helpless: "Why are you so persistent? What will happen if you find that person?"

Tao Rusu directly quoted: "Because I am also a person who will repay a favor!"

Bai Yu scratched his cheek and thought to himself, you are playing a chain game with me here... a cycle of gratitude?

He casually changed the subject: "Come to think of it, are you alone here? Where are your family members?"

Tao Rusu recited the words as if she were naming a dish: "My father cheated on me, my parents are divorced, my grandparents died young, my maternal grandparents don't like girls, and my mother is busy running a company and only sent an assistant to help, who left after the work was done."

Bai Yu was stunned.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."

"The above is all made up by me." Tao Rusu spread his hands.

"...You're still trying this?" Bai Yu was both angry and amused: "Do you think you're funny?"

"Don't worry, my family situation isn't as complicated as you think. The real situation is..." Tao Rusu held her chin up, "I'm studying alone in Nanling City, without any relatives around. It's just a minor injury, so I didn't inform my family. It's that simple."

Bai Yu is not in a position to delve into the matter.

The two parties were not very familiar with each other, and he didn't want to check the other party's household registration.

"I'll leave the orange here. Take care of your injuries. I'm... leaving."

"You're leaving now because the topic is exhausted? You're really a blockhead." Tao Rusu said, "Just keep chatting with me for another fifty yuan."

"I refuse." Bai Yu glanced at her legs and said, "See you at school."

There is no benefit in staying any longer.

He waved his hand and walked out of the ward. Tao Rusu shouted something, but he didn't hear it clearly at all, so he pretended not to hear it.

"...This guy must have touched my thigh." Tao Rusu blushed and whispered in the ward, "How rude of him not to express his feelings."

It was already night, and the inpatient department of the entire hospital was relatively quiet.

Apart from a few patients groaning in pain, the only sounds were television, mobile phones, mechanical instruments and footsteps.

Bai Yu took the elevator and pressed the button when there were exactly two groups of people inside. One pair was wearing hospital gowns and sitting in wheelchairs, and the other pair was wearing sweatshirts and holding the wheelchair handles.

One of the group came out and bumped into his shoulder but said nothing, looking lifeless.

Bai Yu patted his shoulder, looked back, and then walked into the elevator, but noticed that the elevator did not light up the buttons for other floors.

"Are you going downstairs too?" he asked.

no respond.

Bai Yu shook his head in frustration and pressed down a layer casually.

As the elevator moved downwards, Bai Yu suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him amidst the quiet and gentle sound of its movement.

A pale hand pressed directly on his shoulder. Bai Yu shuddered and turned around to elbow him.

The elbow hit the man in the sweatshirt on the head. His head tilted to the side and became a strange shape, but no blood flowed out, just like a piece of plasticine that had been hit and deformed.

"Why are you still alive..."

A deep voice came from the man in the hoodie.

"How did you get back from the collapse zone..."

The patient in the wheelchair also rushed over and hugged his legs.

Bai Yu felt a sinking sensation under his feet, and his eyes widened as he saw himself being dragged into the dark shadows.

"You must die!"

The shrill howls and roars were harsh and raspy, making sounds that were completely unhuman by the end.

Pfft!

Bai Yu completely lost his footing and tried to grab the sides of the elevator, but the smooth walls provided no footholds at all, and he was dragged and quickly sank into the shadows.

The elevator reached the first floor, and with a ding, the door opened. It was empty and deserted, with no one there.

Chapter 30 Justifiable Defense

With no one to take care of her, Tao Rusu could only limp along with a cane and a bottle of water to get hot water.

As she was leaving the house, she bumped into two figures.

"I'm sorry..." She apologized softly.

But the other party did not respond, and two pairs of eyes staring at her made her a little nervous.

Tao Rusu hurriedly quickened her pace and headed straight for the hot water room.

She didn't notice at all that the two people's eyes were filled with cloudy scarlet, staring at his back and muttering to themselves.

"Target……"

"assimilation……"

Then the man in the hoodie pushed the wheelchair towards the hot water room, his steps staggering as if he had suffered a stroke.

……

In the elevator, the night nurse felt something was wrong.

Ever since she entered the elevator, she felt something was strange. Why was there a wheelchair with no one sitting in it?

Why do the lights in the entire elevator flicker?

Why does it suddenly make one or two collision sounds?

"It's not haunted, is it?"

The nurse swallowed her saliva and subconsciously pinched the amulet she was carrying with her, which she had specially obtained from the Xuanwu Temple in Nanling City.

Working as a medical professional is prone to accidents, and the risk of exposure is higher than in other industries, so metaphysics is also quite popular here.

"Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you..."

She rubbed her hands and realized she had read it wrong, and quickly corrected herself: "Zhenwu bless you, Zhenwu bless you..."

This is in line with the practical values of modern people. As long as you think it is useful, you can ask for it.

But this prayer may not have been recognized by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and the entire elevator suddenly shook violently and went into a shutdown state.

The lights went out and the emergency lights came on, illuminating the entire elevator with a dark red glow.

"ah--!!"

The nurse screamed at a high pitch. She could feel the entire elevator shaking violently, and she felt like the pulp in a can of fruit.

Suddenly, the entire elevator became silent.

It was quiet, but the lights didn't come back on.

At this time, the silence is actually a greater source of fear, just like when you first see the dorsal fin of a shark, but it suddenly disappears.

I know it's nearby, but I can't see where it is and I don't know where it will appear from.

This invisible fear was like a hand strangling my throat, my breathing became rapid and tense, and my heartbeat was so loud that it made my eardrums buzz.

creak, creak...

In the silence, she heard the sound of something rubbing against the metal floor of the elevator.

She nervously pinched the corner of her clothes and turned around carefully to look.

When I saw this, I was so scared that my heart and lungs almost stopped!

All I saw was a monster covered in blood slowly crawling out under the blood-red light.

He only had half a body, which was crawling forward strangely and moving slowly. An unclean sound came from his throat, and a large amount of blood gushed out when he opened his mouth.

The not-so-spacious elevator suddenly took up a quarter of the area.

The nurse's legs went weak and she banged on the elevator door frantically: "Help, help!"

However, the elevator was in emergency protection mode and it took several minutes for an outsider to manually release it and resume operation.

click!

Her right leg was grabbed and she collapsed to the ground, shivering.

The slippery touch stained with blood reminded the nurse of the first time she dissected a frog on the laboratory table... It was even still alive, and a mistake in operation made it jump directly onto her face... The dual fear of physical and psychological fear almost made her leak on the spot.

Now she was reliving the scene of that year again, and she was almost exhausted.

...Goodbye, Mom. I'm leaving tonight...

She could hardly help but close her eyes and wait to be torn apart by the monster.

She felt the hand gripping her ankle with difficulty.

The monster, which was not in human form, opened its bloody mouth and made unclear sounds under the terrified gaze of the nurse.

it says.

Say.

"--Help!"

Nurse: “…………Huh?”

Just as she was stunned and didn't realize what this meant, a white and slender hand suddenly stretched out from the "blood pool" below and grabbed the monster's head.

A cold "Hmph, you want to escape" came from the darkness illuminated by the blood-red light, and then the hand pressed it down fiercely.

With a thud, the bloody figure fell directly to the ground and disappeared.

The nurse stood there in a daze, staring at the bloody handprint on her right leg's white stockings and fell into deep confusion.

...Why do I suddenly feel that the monster just now was quite pitiful?

"Ah!" She couldn't help but scream again.

Because another hand stretched out from the elevator, followed by another hand.

He supported himself on the ground with both hands and quickly lifted himself up from a gap in the shadow.

Only then did the nurse see clearly that the other person was a young man over 1.8 meters tall. Although the light was bright red, her facial features were visible. He looked handsome and capable, without any ghostly aura at all.

"Are you ok?"
