white night syndrome

Chapter 13 013. Blackwood
Naotsu Watanabe's left hand on Li Ming's shoulder was twisted, the dry and hard skin on it was like old bark, his strength was so strong that Li Ming couldn't break free no matter what.

This common physical and mental pain of being imprisoned has also gradually deepened over time, as if someone opened his intestines with a scalpel without anesthesia, and the pain made him turn pale.

"Mr. Li Ming? You don't have enough time, huh?"

Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he almost gritted his teeth to resist the severe pain. Watanabe, who was in the state of the living dead, whispered softly with the smell of blood in his ears.

"This madman."

Although Li Ming knew that he was at the end of his strength, if he followed the twisted and perverted lunatic in front of him, even if he could know the truth, it would be just a prelude before death.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent.

Anyway, just now in the elevator room, I have already experienced death once, so what if I die again this time?

Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, Li Ming's eyes became dizzy, he felt powerless all over, his head became more and more dizzy, as if he would lose control of his body at any time.

"Mr. Li Ming, don't you want to give up the chance I gave you?"

After realizing the thoughts of Li Ming, who was walking like a corpse in front of him, Watanabe Naotsu slightly relaxed his grip, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry to make a move.

Staring at Li Ming frowning because of the pain but still trying to stay awake, he suddenly felt very enjoyable and at the same time felt a little puzzled.

In his opinion, the truth that Li Ming wants to pursue is just a question that will know the answer sooner or later, it is not even considered a secret, why is he so stubborn to get the result by himself.

"Hey, it seems that you really don't want a good ending. It's really disappointing. I finally let myself not regret my decision, but you are so stubborn."

Watanabe let go of his hand, the sudden relaxation caused Li Ming to stagger and fall to the ground, he arrogantly raised his blood-stained face.

"Then, I'll take it as if you chose the first path."

The boundless darkness once again devoured everything in Li Ming's field of vision, how long will this nightmare last?
While sighing, what rang in my ears was——

Muffled sounds, the sound of liquid dripping on the ground, the sound of venting anger, and noises.

"."

When you open your eyes, the first thing you see is no longer the darkness, but the ceiling, or in other words, the ceiling of the hospital ward.

The air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant, and the surrounding was suffocatingly quiet, except for the flickering energy-saving lamps on the ceiling.

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then sat up abruptly from the bed, looked around for the trace of Watanabe Naotsu, and after confirming that he was not by his side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that I can finally recover from that nightmare."

Turning his eyes back to the front of him, he was lying on the hospital bed at the moment, covered by a thick white quilt. Although his body was aching, he could clearly feel that his mental state was different from before.

Although I don't know what the current situation is like, when those nightmare scenes no longer appear in front of my eyes, something left in my body is completely disillusioned in the warm current.

"This is the hospital, next."

Li Ming was planning to wait until his mood calmed down completely, and when he was thinking about what to do next, he subconsciously put his hands in his pockets, but his face suddenly turned pale.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward where he was.

Li Ming turned his head to look at the wooden door with frosted glass in a daze, his expression was stiff, his face was pale, and the exhaustion still gnawed at his body and mind.

"Outside, who is it?"

The door opened, and to Li Ming's relief, it was not Naotsu Watanabe who entered the room, but a strange man.

The man was wearing a light gray jazz hat with long white hair under the hat. Although his expression was kind, the blood stain under his right eye gave off a strange feeling.

"Ah? Wake up, Mr. Li Ming?" The visitor showed a kind and very friendly smile, "I'm really sorry, the current hospital is still unable to find you suitable medicine for you."

"You are...?" Li Ming thought subconsciously, but he soon realized that even if he thought about it, the other party would not be able to hear this sentence, so he began to look around for a writer, ready to communicate.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Li Ming, your current mental state and physical fitness are not suitable for strenuous exercise."

The visitor reminded him kindly, and walked a few steps closer with a smile, while stretching out his white-gloved right hand and putting it on his chest as a gentleman's salute.

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Heimu and my name is Mingliang. What is my occupation? Obviously, I am a doctor in this hospital. No, to be precise, I should be a foreign aid they invited."

"Surname Kuroki?"

Li Ming frowned, why does it feel so familiar?
After rummaging in the memory warehouse for a while, he finally remembered the related memories, but when all the memories were presented in front of him, Li Ming found that the two words in the memory were not Hei Mu, but Hei Ze.

That was the surname of the woman he met by passing by in the ramen restaurant before. Although the two had never met, he was very interested in this surname, so he subconsciously wrote it down.

In a person's life, there are actually many irrelevant memories stored in the memory warehouse.

Sometimes the details that I overheard during the conversation between the two may still be clearly remembered after a few days or weeks.

"Speaking of which, the surname of Kurosawa and Kuroki have a sense of combination. If the memory is vague, the two surnames may be confused together."

"Ah? You mean Kurosawa? I think the woman you met in that store should be the famous lady of the Kurosawa Group in Chiba Prefecture. Speaking of which, she has been to the hospital before." Kuroki Ming Liang tidied up her attire casually, and grinned.

"Is she actually the eldest lady of the Kurosawa Group?"

Li Ming was secretly surprised, although he was wondering why such a young lady would visit the most common ramen shop on the street, but a fact in front of him attracted all his attention.

Just now I didn't speak at all, why I just thought about it in my mind, the man named Heimu in front of me already knew all his thoughts.

Even a little more mysterious, even the guy named Heimu already knew where he saw Kurosawa.

"Could it be that he is also a patient of White Night Syndrome?"

Li Ming recalled the series of actions of Watanabe before, pretending to be Shibazaki and Suzuki, maybe because he is a patient, and he obtained special means through some special channels, no wonder when I saw Police Officer Shibazaki before, I felt that his face was a bit strange. It's stiff.

So, is this abnormal ability similar to mind reading also a gift of White Night Syndrome?
　Finally started to get on the right track.
