Chapter 126: Customers
It was very dark, and before I took a few steps up the stairs, the passage in front of me slowly became blurred. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ infoThere is also a feeling that the stairs under my feet are not clear.
"Why is it that such a large building, with the required height, has not been equipped with elevators? No matter how old it is, it will not be more than a hundred years old. And the history of lifts is far more than 100 years. The voice of the woman carrying the suitcase, and the sound of footsteps echoing around her, showed that she walked steadily with every step, and there was no problem because of the obstruction of her vision.
"How do I know. "Of course, the male voice," may have been too lazy for the designer to draw the design drawings of the lift, so he simply doubled the number of stairs and then doubled the width to meet the needs of people going up and down the stairs at a time. Life lies in exercise, and a healthy body is exercised. You don't know anything about the common sense that you're still a doctor's assistant, so it's no wonder I don't pay you. That salary has become what I teach you. โ
"Do you understand the tuition? I'm your teacher. The man's tone was slightly heavier, and he groped his way up the dark corridor.
There is a light on the side, but after pressing it, there is no response, and the surrounding area is still getting more and more intense black. Most of the lighting systems here have failed.
"It's either that the line is broken, or that the lamps haven't been replaced. The woman's voice rang out again. The man didn't reply, and the surrounding light became darker. The two of them also walked out of the staircase and into the slightly more well-lit aisle. There was a dim sky, only a line, and most of the view was completely obscured by another building not far in front of it. From a distance of less than a few meters, you can even read the numbers on the building opposite.
"Wellใใใ" the woman sighed, "how far is it, this place seems to be a bit remote." This will really be where you said the big money lord lives. Or is the customer on the black list, so stay away?"
"It's a house that I bought before, but who would have thought that it would be like this after only a few years. Although I didn't see how good it was at the beginning. The man in front spoke calmly, "Here we are, this is the destination of this time." โ
The door to the room in front of him had been rusted with many brown spots of various sizes, and on top of it was a layer of black-red rust that had not been cleaned in a long time. Even with an anti-rust coating, the steel is resistant to oxidative erosion, but in the face of decades, none of the designs has been able to achieve its desired effect.
There was a knock on the door at a specific frequency, and the sound turned into a coded code and entered the tightly sealed room with a metal door. The woman carrying the suitcase took a few steps forward, trying to peek through a small simple window, but was disappointed. It was welded with steel plates and iron bars, and no air was revealed.
The sound of the metal door knocking was heard only a few seconds later, and the sound of metal grinding could be heard. I don't know how long it has been since the gears and shafts have been lubricated, and the sound is very high. And there seems to be a problem with the steam pipeline, which should be the reason why the steam valve has not been repaired and maintained regularly, and it has been broken. The milky white steam leaked out a lot, floating in the air and being touched by the man's arm, and there was a feeling of warmth.
"Punos, you've been late for a long time. As soon as the door opened, this cold word came from the darkness inside.
Punos smiled dryly, and the words that had been typed in his stomach for a long time could not say a word at this time.
"There have been some minor accidents these days, and it won't be the case next time. Standing in front of the door for a few seconds, Punos slowly uttered this sentence.
"There's no next time, it's the last time. "Come in, I hope no one is following you." โ
"Don't worry at all, there's no one behind us. At some point, Adina, who was standing behind Punos, replied. She bent forward slightly, a non-standard salute, "Hello, Miss Kara, I'm Dr. Pronos's assistant, Adina. โ
"Hello, Miss Adina. Kara nodded slightly, but she didn't want to spend her time on the shabby doorway and boring etiquette, so she let the two of them into the room, closed the old metal door, and shook it off some rust.
Only then turn on the lights in the house, as the leakage of the light when the door is opened will increase the chance of being exposed. Punos's eyes, which could not immediately adapt to the light, narrowed slightly, and he waited a few seconds before he fully opened his eyes to observe the scenery and layout of the room.
It's almost exactly the same layout as the previous few times, with simple chairs and tables, cups and kettles on one side and a sniper rifle on the other. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Punos's head impartially. Not in the head of Punos, but at the metal door behind Punos. The safety on the sniper rifle is always open, and the loaded bullet only waits for the trigger to be depressed.
Moving his feet away from the dark muzzle of the gun, Pronos's eyes drifted away. There is also a small bed made of steel sheets with new bedding and a small kitchen not far away. There used to be a wardrobe next to the bed, but now it's out of sight.
"I miss you so much, Sister Carla, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Punos said as he pulled out a chair and sat down, and motioned for Adena to put down the black tin case and rest.
"It's been a couple of years. Kara walked into the table and brought herself a glass of water, which was cold, and she put it down after a few sips. "But after so long not being seen, you have really found an assistant, but I didn't expect it. Thinking of the boy who was scared to cry at the beginning, I still can't connect him perfectly with the you in front of me. Or that it is not impossible to infer that there is no side at all. โ
Pronos smiled helplessly, but the shaking of his facial muscles showed that it was a genuinely happy smile. Adina, on the side, showed a look of anticipation, and she was full of interest in the "scared crying boy" in Kara's words.
"A child who was still only a teenager was forced by you to see the on-site human autopsy like you did at the time, and the person who did the surgery was still Sister Carla. What kid can withstand such a thing? After that incident, I went back for a long time without getting a good night's sleep. Maybe that's when my sleep became the way it is now, so light that I had to use medication. There was protest in Punos's voice.
Kara also had a smile on her face, "But didn't you leave at the time, although you kept crying, but you were the last person to leave, and as for the others, they were so frightened that they ran away when I uncovered the cloth covering the corpse." It shows that you are still interested in anatomy, otherwise you would not have given up the surname Meredith and concentrated on the current industry. โ
Pronos shook his head with a bitter face, as if he thought of some bad memories, "I think I definitely didn't run away because I liked it, most likely because I was too scared at the time, and I didn't have the strength in my legs, so I kept crying there and didn't run away, and I was always there to accompany you to do human anatomy." After saying that, he sighed, this was the worst memory of his childhood, and he can still remember it clearly.
Listening to the words of the two, Adina on the side laughed. She knew very little about her employer.
Then her tone changed, and Kara put away the smile on her face. It's time to get down to business.
"Did you bring something? After this operation, I will not stay in Manoma again, and of course I will not go back to the military school, as for the reason, everyone is clear. Although there was plenty of time, there was no guarantee of safety in Manoma, and I had to get the surgery done as soon as possible before I got out of here. โ
"Of course, you trust me in how well I work, Sister Kara. Punos was equally serious. At this time, Adena also opened the black box and took out a glass bottle. The translucent liquid inside devoured the little light in the room, and the liquid was completely soaked in a heart-shaped object, and the hideous appearance of the artificial blood vessels was clearly visible.
"Surgery is ready for any time, Sister Kara. Before coming to his own industry, Pronos was confident in his words.
