Chapter 349: After one wave, another wave arises
Chapter 355: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises
"Bing, wake up, hey! Bing! Wake up! Are you okay?"
I don't know how long it took, but a noise sounded in my ears, and I could vaguely hear the voice calling my name. Bing, now there are only three people who call me that, Shizuru, Ling, and... Kaito, and the owner of this voice...
"Hmm..." I slowly opened my eyes in confusion. The person who appeared in front of me was Kaito dressed in Kid's uniform. It seemed that he had shaken off the police and came to find me. "Kaito..." Gradually, I regained consciousness and recalled everything that happened before I fainted. "You shook off the police?"
"Well, after hearing the explosion, I rushed here." Kaito helped me up. "How come you are like this?" Kaito looked at me in disbelief. This should be the first time he saw me grow bigger after taking the antidote. If I was the only one in the forest at this moment, he would not have believed that the person in front of him was the child he had just met today.
"It's hard to explain." I stood up with Kaito's help and checked my body. Apart from feeling a little weak, I didn't feel any discomfort. The palpitations before I fainted had long gone. "Do you know how long I've been unconscious here?"
"No..." Kaito shook his head in embarrassment, "When I rushed over, I only heard an explosion and a loud gunshot. It didn't take long for me to get here. Probably only about a quarter of an hour."
"Explosion?" I recalled the battle just now. Although it was just a quick fight, I did use grenades and sniper rifles. In other words, I was unconscious for about ten minutes. "I know." After saying that, I stood up with great effort. My body was still a little weak and had not fully recovered. "Well, I'll leave it to you next. I have to leave here."
"Hey. Where can you go in this state?" Kaito saw me staggering and couldn't help but come up to support me. "I'll ask grandpa to drive over to pick you up right away."
"It's too late, I have to leave first." I gently pushed Kaito away and said. "I can't be in this kind of environment in my current state, let alone be taken away by the police for investigation." After that, I pulled out the motorcycle from the necklace and stepped on it, pointing to the forest on one side. "Hongzi is over there, go wake her up. I'll take care of the rest. The spider didn't die this time, but it must have been hurt by the aftermath of the explosion. It's unlikely that he will appear again in a short time. You should be fine if you are careful. Tell Hongzi not to use any detection magic to find the whereabouts of the spider for the time being, so as not to fall into unnecessary traps. Remember to call me after the incident is settled."
After that, I turned the accelerator without waiting for Kaito to speak, and quickly left this troubled place. My physical weakness and identity made it impossible for me to stay here for long, so I quickly left the place where the incident happened on my motorcycle, and then walked again to the place where I hid the car.
"Shiho, it's me..." After returning to the car, starting the car and leaving the forest, I did not forget to call Shiho to let her know I was safe.
"Are you hurt?" Shiho on the other end of the phone seemed to sense the weakness in my tone, and her voice was a little higher than usual.
"No, I fought the spider to a draw, but was defeated by the side effects of the drug." I smiled helplessly in the car. "I beat the spider away, but unfortunately I couldn't kill it with the last shot, because the side effects of the drug made me palpitate and faint. It seems that the effect of this side effect must be experienced, and the speed is much faster than Kudo. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of exercise." I thought about all the possibilities of this temporary antidote and told Shiho all my thoughts.
"Maybe you're right." Shiho thought for a moment and answered me. "Although Kudo's transformation took more than 24 hours, his exercise volume was much smaller than the energy you consumed in one battle. If the energy consumed after becoming bigger is fixed, then the battle you just fought might have consumed half of the energy consumed by Kudo's transformation."
"So, I grew bigger because I had stored up two to three years of biological energy, but it was all used up in just a few hours?"
"It's possible." Shiho confirmed. "APTX-4869's principle is to destroy cells directly. It's not impossible to consume two or three years of your bioenergy in a few days. Maybe when we became smaller, the toxicity of this drug was suppressed, but when we became bigger, it might be stimulated again, so the bioenergy was consumed so quickly. Of course, this is just a guess, and I need to continue researching to verify it. Let's not talk about this. You have experienced palpitations and coma now. How are you now?"
"It's still the same big body, just a little weak. I think it will be fine after a rest." As I spoke, I had already driven the car into Mihua City. "I'm already back in Mihua City. I'm going to the doctor's house now to deliver the blood and data to you."
"Okay, see you later then."
"Well, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, I took a long breath, hoping to adjust my physical condition slightly, then stepped on the accelerator and started accelerating.
The traffic volume in the city at night was acceptable. I held the steering wheel with one hand and leaned on the car door with the other hand, driving slowly forward. The lights and nightlife on the street flashed before my eyes one by one. It was a rare comfort and relaxation. If Shiho or Shizuru were sitting next to me at this time, this comfort might be sublimated. The car window was opened a small gap, hoping to make myself more sober with the help of the breeze. After all, after a battle, I need some time to dissipate the murderous aura on my body. Unfortunately, this relaxing driving did not last too long and was broken by the humming sound coming from not far behind.
police car?
Through the rearview mirror, I saw a fiery red sports car speeding on the track beside me, with a flashing red warning light on the roof. "Red sports car, with warning lights. Isn't this Sato's girl?" I looked to the right and saw a red car flashing before my eyes. I saw Sato sitting in the car with a serious face, probably chasing some gangster.
"Heh... So being a police officer is not an easy job at all. You could lose your life at any time. Driving at this speed, if a passerby or a car really suddenly appears from the side, her police career would probably be over. Well... it seems my job is similar." I continued to drive slowly in the car while complaining about the Japanese police and myself with a smile. To be honest, although Sato and I are quite familiar with each other, I am not so familiar with her that I feel obligated to intervene when I see her doing something. What's more, in my current body, I cannot expose myself to the police casually.
I continued driving forward, and without the roar of the police car, the road returned to peace again. Walking through the streets and alleys, I drove out of the main road and was not far from Dr. Agasa's house. However, at the next intersection, I was waiting for the traffic light to change, but I heard the sound of the police again. The walls of the villas were all around, and on the narrow road, I could no longer see any other light except the light at the intersection.
"There are so many thieves tonight..." I shook my head, ignoring the noise that disturbed my peace, and the moment the traffic light changed, I stepped on the accelerator and prepared to pass.
However, before I could react, a car came from the side at a very high speed. When I heard the harsh brake sound, it was too late to speed up and dodge.
Bang! ! ! !
The car coming from the left hit me straight, and the harsh brake sound under my feet did not reduce the potential energy of the car too much. Fortunately, I had stepped on the accelerator, so it hit the back of my car, and did not cause too much damage to me in the front seat, but the huge impact also pushed my car against the stone wall on the side of the road.
The sudden side attack caused me to crash directly into the right door. The airbag popped out, and the moment my head touched the door, there was a buzzing sound, and then my eyes went dark, and my consciousness faded again.
. . . . . .
"Hey, are you okay? Cheer up! I'll take you to the hospital right away!" I was confused. This vague sentence appeared in my ears, but unfortunately I couldn't tell whose voice it was. I opened my eyes with great effort, and what appeared in front of me was a blurry and constantly rotating and shaking shadow. It looked like a woman with short hair. But other than that, I couldn't see anything else.
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————
Drop...drop...drop...
The clear electronic sound kept echoing in my ears, and consciousness gradually returned to my mind. I subconsciously wanted to open my eyes, but quickly closed them tightly. To the outside world, it was probably just the trembling of my eyelids. Listening to the outside environment and breathing the unfamiliar air, the familiar dripping sound and the pungent smell of disinfectant told me that this was a hospital. I didn't dare to move. I gently twisted the three fingers of my left hand. The power transmitted made me know that I was still an adult body. But why am I here? With my eyes closed, I began to recall the moment before my consciousness dissipated. It seemed that... I had a car accident. I should be sent to the hospital now.
After confirming that I was safe, I opened my eyes. The hospital's unique ceiling confirmed where I was. I looked out the window and found that it was already dawn. I had been lying here for at least one night.
I felt pain on my forehead, and I rubbed it with my hand, only to find that it was bandaged. I must have hit my head last night, otherwise I wouldn't have lost consciousness so quickly. Just as I was about to sit up, I found a sleeping beauty lying beside my bed. She was wearing a beige OL uniform, had short, neat hair, and delicate features. She looked like a real beauty, but when I looked closely, my eyes widened.
"Fuck! Isn't this Sato? Was she the one who bumped into me last night?" The brief surprise caused my body to tremble slightly. This tiny movement also woke up Sato who was sleeping beside the bed.
"Hmm... Eh? You're awake? Why are you sitting up? Lie down quickly! Doctor, doctor!" Seeing me sitting up, Sato's sleepiness disappeared immediately and he quickly called a doctor for me.
"No... What happened?" I observed Sato calmly. In a car accident like yesterday, the car and the person who caused the accident must have been more seriously injured than me, and Sato didn't look injured at all. Why was she sleeping at the head of the bed?
With Sato's call, a doctor and two nurses quickly walked into the ward. The doctor kept checking my wounds beside me and even took out a flashlight to scan my pupils.
"It looks like there's nothing wrong with him." After a check, he came to the conclusion. "He's really lucky. The car accident didn't cause him any serious injuries. It's just a slight concussion. I believe he'll recover after resting for a while."
"Is that so? Thank you, doctor." After receiving the doctor's affirmative information, Sato hurriedly thanked him. After the doctor left, Sato walked towards me.
"I'm sorry!" Before I could say anything, Sato bowed deeply to me. "I'm sorry that you were seriously injured because of my negligence. I'm really sorry! Please rest assured that I will take care of your medical expenses and your car!"
"Um..." I was stunned by Sato's words. "Well, Miss, if you don't mind." I smiled awkwardly, "Please start from the beginning."
Happy New Year to all the readers!!! Please continue to look forward to my updates in the new year. No, continue to look forward to the updates later~
