Chapter 27 Believe me

Facing the "sonic attack", Xiao Xiao couldn't help but rub his temple.

I really can't handle soprano.

Especially a soprano voice that was so hoarse and shrill, like torn cloth.

Even though he was prepared, Xiao Xiao was still confused for a moment.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the monster.

But he happened to meet that pair of ghostly and eerie eyes.

His face froze.

He took a quick look at the monster's expression...he really couldn't tell any expression from that abstract face.

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that he was being stupid.

Cough cough, Xiao Xiao rubbed his cheeks, thinking about how to calm Lin Zhenzhen down.

Xiao Xiao didn't know that, from a certain objective point of view, his behavior was very bad.

Even if it was not his intention, his actions at this moment looked like he was cold-blooded and heartless and allowed Lin Zhenzhen to be hysterical alone, while he himself was indifferent and just stood aside and watched.

Lin Zhenzhen called out for a while, but found that Xiao Xiao had no reaction. He neither tried to comfort her nor left. Instead, he stared at her as if watching a show, his eyes dark and scrutinizing.

Xiao Xiao felt totally wronged about this.

He just didn't know what to do for a moment, so he just stood there stupidly, thinking hard for a good solution.

……

Perhaps she was too exhausted physically and mentally during this period. After shouting for a while, Lin Zhenzhen was already out of breath and exhausted.

Looking at Xiao Xiao's quiet and almost indifferent eyes, Lin Zhenzhen suddenly became furious. She couldn't catch her breath and started coughing violently.

"cough cough"

Lin Zhenzhen coughed so hard that the corners of her only exposed eyes were red. The bloodshot whites of her eyes, washed by tears, were even more shocking with red bloodshot veins all over them.

Xiao Xiao was startled by the sudden cough, and hurried forward, trying to reach out to help Lin Zhenzhen up, but Lin Zhenzhen fiercely opened his hand.

"Crack~"

The crisp sound echoed in the room, and there were continuous sounds of hoarse coughing.

Xiao Xiao touched the back of his hand which had turned a little red, but didn't care.

Seeing that Lin Zhenzhen didn't want him to get close to her, he didn't force her, but just poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

When he saw Lin Zhenzhen trying to knock the cup away again, he quickly moved away.

"You're coughing so bad, drink some water."

“Don’t be hard on yourself.”

"I mean no harm."

Although he didn't know when he became so annoying, Xiao Xiao deliberately softened his voice to calm the hot-tempered and somewhat neurotic girl.

Lin Zhenzhen seemed to be comforted, or maybe she was just coughing too hard, and finally took the cup of water.

In just these few days, Lin Zhenzhen seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The hand that was stretched out was pale and thin, and the exposed wrist was also incredibly thin, making the entire sleeve appear empty.

The ward finally became quiet, with only the occasional cough and the sound of someone swallowing water.

……

There were sporadic noises, an empty and dim ward, a pale and thin girl in bandages, and a monster in the corner.

Amid the weirdness, there is also a hint of loneliness.

Looking at the girl who finally calmed down and drank water silently, even though her entire face was wrapped in bandages, Xiao Xiao inexplicably felt the girl's despair.

How can the girl nowadays look as gentle and charming as in my memory?

Even though they were not familiar with each other, they were in the same class after all. In Xiao Xiao's memory, he had seen Lin Zhenzhen chatting and laughing with her friends. At that time, her smile was as beautiful as a flower and she was full of energy.

But now she is like an old woman who is about to die.

Seeing Lin Zhenzhen like this, Xiao Xiao's mood also became uncontrollably dark and heavy. "I won't waste any more time." A lot of time had already been wasted before, so now it was better to get to the point.

Xiao Xiao's face straightened, and his deep and calm eyes looked straight into Lin Zhenzhen's eyes.

"I might know why your face looks like this."

"So, I hope you can answer a few of my questions seriously."

Lin Zhenzhen seemed quiet and well-behaved while drinking water, but in fact her mind had long since flown away.

Taking a sip of water from time to time is just an habitual action.

However, Xiao Xiao's words were so shocking that they pierced through the layers of confusion surrounding Lin Zhenzhen and exploded in her ears.

After Lin Zhenzhen accepted the information somewhat slowly, she suddenly looked up at Xiao Xiao, her eyes bright and surprising.

The overly violent movement caused a little water to splash out of the cup in her hand, and the water surface was turbulent, just like the turbulent waves in her heart at the moment.

For the first time, Xiao Xiao's figure appeared in the girl's eyes.

The eyes that were full of red bloodshot and revealed a bit of ferocity suddenly widened, the corners of the eyes seemed to have collapsed to the extreme, and the eyeballs gave people the illusion that they were about to fall out.

Combined with Lin Zhenzhen's current look, it's even more terrifying!
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

He reached out to stop Lin Zhenzhen from asking questions.

"listen to me."

"You answer."

"When did you start growing these things on your face?"

……

"Before the growth, did you touch anything strange or eat anything strange?"

……

"...or seen anything strange?"

……

Lin Zhenzhen answered these questions almost without thinking.

Because she had been asked this question so many times, she would always think about it over and over again when it was late at night and everyone was asleep. She would chew up and break down everything that happened during that period of time, thinking about it until she had a splitting headache and was exhausted, and then she could fall asleep.

So, faced with Xiao Xiao's similar questions, her hope, which had just risen, sank again, and she suddenly lost interest.

Some answered these questions with boredom, numbness, and even resentment.

What is there to ask? Ask the same question over and over again. Have you discovered anything?

No, nothing!

She didn't understand, why her? Why did this happen to her?
Even though she had cried many times, she even felt that she couldn't cry anymore, but now, what was constantly flowing out of her eyes?
The bandage was wet and sticky to her face, making her feel suffocated and irritated as if she was about to explode.

……

Xiao Xiao frowned. He wanted to help, but the prerequisite was that the person involved had to cooperate.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Zhenzhen's perfunctory response to his questions. When he was about to say something, his throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by something. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say.

Lin Zhenzhen cried.

Suppressed, quiet, almost silent sobbing, big tears rolled down from the corners of the eyes, hopeless and sad.

Xiao Xiao finally sighed and said word by word: "Believe me, I really have a way to deal with your face."

This is not groundless. Combined with Lin Zhenzhen's previous narration, Xiao Xiao probably has some ideas.

However, confirmation is needed.

So, "Please remove the bandage so I can see your face." The tone was soft, but unquestionable.

It has been many days since these things started. Xiao Xiao doesn't know what they are and how they are caused. But the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be.

Moreover, according to Lin Zhenzhen, her face condition was not so serious at the beginning. After applying the ointment prescribed by the hospital, there were even signs of improvement. But who would have thought that it would rebound again and become even more aggressive.

What's worse, no medicine is effective.
