I have found out your real name

Chapter 115 If You Become a Zombie
The chaos spread to the surrounding area due to the explosion of Jihai group has not stopped, but Li Wu saw an unexpected person.

Makoto Hirata ran out of a side alley wearing a bumpy safety helmet.

He took off the uniform of the Isokai Group he was wearing, changed into a jacket, put his right hand on the inside of the clothes, looked furtively, and said eagerly: "It's not suitable to stay here for long! Come with me!"

After glancing at the [Former Blue Dream Group employee] written on his head, Li Wu followed.

He was not surprised that the drug thief who had met once was not involved in the explosion. After all, the few minutes he had fought with the Isokai group should have been enough for the thief who claimed to have figured out the route to take the stolen goods and run away.

But he was a little surprised that this guy was still waiting nearby.

"What happened tonight confuses me."

Makoto Hirata ran out of breath, "But I kind of know who owes the goods to me—that is to say, in fact, I will run away in half a minute, mainly because I am afraid that you will come to the door later, hahaha."

Perhaps because of the drugs he missed, he was much more relaxed than before.

The two of them walked through the winding alleys of Hanayacho and left through a narrow exit. Makoto Hirata deftly opened the door of a tattered car and sat in the driver's seat.

"Mr Ram taught us to always be prepared to escape."

He triumphantly mentions the name of a well-known bank robber as he turns off the car keys.

The vehicle merged into the road in a low-key manner.

During this period, Lilia called and asked if the sudden explosion in Hanayacho was related to him.

Li Wu denied it factually.

During their conversation, Makoto Hirata maintained an attitude of focusing on driving, and he hesitated until Li Wu hung up the phone: "I have to explain something first, I only had time to take a car." medicine."

He observed Li Wu's face from the rearview mirror, and continued: "I don't know what is the purpose of your coming to Jihai Group tonight, I will keep it secret, but I really need this thing."

He withdrew his right hand, which was inside, revealing a test tube filled with blue liquid.

"I won't run away. You can ask me to commit a crime or sell my organ, but please let me keep it..."

"My purpose is not money."

Li Wu interrupted him, "Didn't you say you used to work in Lanmeng Group? I'm very interested in it."

Now that the Jihai group has been razed to the ground, he can only follow this clue to find it.

"Are you interested in this shit company?" the temporary driver swears, "Sorry. I mean, I don't know much..."

According to Makoto Hirata, when he was in office, Blue Dream Group did not have the name it has today.

At that time, the company was called "Wei Lan Pharmaceutical Company", which focused on medical technology and drug research and development, and its reputation was surprisingly low. At least Li Wu had never heard of this company.

Makoto Hirata's position is nothing more than an ordinary security guard. He only knows that although his employer's business has been in a half-dead state, his salary has been paid in full, and he even provides free medical services to employees and their families.

It is precisely for this reason that he realized that the technology of this enterprise is not simple.

"A relative in my family was seriously ill before, and the company cured him."

he said lightly.

About five years ago, Weilan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. closed down due to a laboratory accident. When it went public again, it had already abandoned the old assets and transformed into the current Lanmeng Media Technology Group.

"A pharmaceutical company delved into AI and media entertainment?"

Li Wu asked back.

"Honestly, I think it fits the style of that company, everything is messed up."

Makoto Hirata turned the steering wheel, "I heard gossip at the time that the company was going to develop a potion that would make people superhuman. Maybe it was using the name change as a cover to facilitate the research by its mad scientists!"

He felt that he had told a good bad joke and laughed dryly a few times, but after experiencing the battle in the Jihai group, Li Wu didn't think it was just a joke.

The vehicle stopped in front of a ramshackle looking motel-like second-floor apartment.

As soon as the engine was turned off, someone knocked on the car window: "Uncle, why did you come back so late?"

"Why did you come out? Go back!"

Makoto Hirata scolded, but at this time Li Wu had already opened the door and got out of the car.

He met the eyes of Hirata Yui, who was wrapped in bandages and had blue skin.

"How do you say that? It's a coincidence."

In the cramped room, Hirata Makoto's voice came from the kitchen with the smell of oily smoke, "I really didn't expect you to know each other!"

There is only room for a low coffee table in the long living room, which is placed on the dark brown carpet. Yui Hirata, who is sitting opposite, stretches out his hand and rolls the reagent tube containing the blue liquid.

"Really, uncle does this kind of thing again."

she whispered.

"You need to take this drug?"

Li Wu put forward his own guess.

The zombie girl in front of her was completely different from her appearance on the stage during the day. Her skin was blue-black like a corpse, one eye was wrapped in a bandage, and there were even traces of sutures on her neck.

She shook her head: "No need! Ah, if you are looking at the eyes here, it needs to be cleaned temporarily. I soaked it."

Yui Hirata said nonchalantly what could be a line in a horror movie, and he also denied his guess by the way.

She glanced at the kitchen, a little depressed: "The boss said that even if ordinary people see me like this, they will not think that I am dead. This is the case with uncle."

"At the beginning, I was so scared that I passed out, and I forgot it after waking up, until the next time I saw me, and then I thought I had sequelae such as skin disease and anorexia, and tried every means to use various drugs. Come to 'treat' me."

Is this also part of [daily] corrective cognition?
"You mean sequelae?" Li Wu noticed the word, "Your uncle said earlier that one of his relatives had received treatment from the company, referring to..."

Hirata Yui nodded, but his head fell off.

She fumbled frantically on the coffee table, Li Wu picked up the head that had rolled to the edge and handed it to her.

"Thank you, I usually fix it during the day to prevent it from falling..."

Yui Hirata held his head back in the headless state, "Hey, are you leaving?"

"It's you who pretended to be reversed!"

Li Wu complained.

Before Makoto Hirata came out of the kitchen with the food, she finally returned her head to its original position.

During this period, Li Wu listened to her tell her "before death" story.

Yui Hirata's parents passed away unexpectedly not long after she was born, so she was brought up by her uncle since she was a child.

But maybe she really had a bad life. She lost her parents since she was a child, and was later diagnosed with a terminal illness that is difficult to treat.

At that time, Makoto Hirata was still an ordinary white-collar worker, and the high medical expenses quickly emptied his small family property.

Afterwards, Weilan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which he joined, claimed that the free medical benefits provided to employees were like the spider's thread that the Buddha hung down to Jianduo, and became his life-saving straw in desperate moments.

Until he was stunned by his niece, who was lying on the hospital bed and greeted him with an eyeball hanging in the eye socket, with her exposed internal organs that had not been sutured in time.

"What did they do to you?"

When hearing this passage, Li Wu couldn't help interrupting her narration.

Yui Hirata touched the back of Li Wu's head in a daze - she hadn't turned her head back at this time - and said: "I don't remember either, it became like this after I fainted. But my illness also It did heal, so it’s okay? They did deliver on their promise.”

She smirked a few times.

Your optimism goes too far.

Li Wu originally wanted to say this, but he swallowed it anyway.

For a girl who is tormented by a serious illness and is doomed not to live long, it may be acceptable to become the current state between life and death.

However, Li Wu has a certain sense of déjà vu from Weilan Pharmaceutical's vicious and crazy behavior style that has kept its promise, but also has weird body modification.

"Crack, click... that, Li Wujun? Mr. Li Wu? Mr. Li? Can you help me?"

Hirata Yui leaned on the coffee table like a prisoner who was being held on the beheading platform, trying to torture his neck.

"..."

Li Wu pressed the top of her head and twisted it clockwise.

So when Makoto Hirata walked out of the kitchen to wipe his hands, what he saw was his niece, whose head was tilted to the side strangely, as if she had a stiff neck.

At this point in time, what he ate was basically supper, and Yui Hirata used the excuse that he had already eaten dinner to avoid ingesting indigestible food.

"I'm very happy!"

The middle-aged man squeezed the empty beer can in his hand, lay on the coffee table among the leftovers, and hammered the tabletop covered with a layer of plastic film.

"Xiao Wei has become an idol now! By what...is she called a otaku, right? She is sought after by otakus!"

"Uncle, what are you talking about!"

Yui Hirata waved her hands in a panic, and there was an obviously unnatural sound from her right arm, and it hung down softly. Fortunately, her uncle couldn't see this scene.

"Wow wow wow!" She straightened it with a sad face, "I shouldn't have removed the splint at night..."

Zombies are amazing.

Just as Li Wu, who was watching the excitement, was thinking this way, the already a little drunk Hirata pointed the finger at him: "Dude, are you right? Is Xiao Wei the most popular among the three of them?"

"It should be said that the three of them have been enthusiastically sought after by everyone. At today's concert, there are fans fighting each other (physically) for them."

Yui Hirata burst out laughing.

"Neutral answers are meaningless! My words are my favorite... Think about it carefully, the girl with long black hair is the prettiest, what valley is it?"

"uncle--"

Yui Hirata stared at him with a terrifying smile, "Your rebellion is too fast."

Being so frightened by her, Makoto Hirata sobered up a lot: "By the way, Xiao Wei, remember to use that medicine! I have inquired about it, just take it orally, it should help your condition."

Yui Hirata was silent for a while, then stood up abruptly, and shouted excitedly to his uncle: "Please don't do this kind of thing again!"

She ran to the bathroom and came out with a glass.

An eyeball was dripping inside, and the optic nerve floated left and right as the water sloshed.

The zombie girl took off the bandage on her left eye, revealing the empty eye socket: "This is not a skin disease! It's not a sequelae either! This is how I exist now!"

"Stop looking for those weird medicines! Last time you almost went on the road of crime for money. If your car didn't break down, you would become a robber! I don't know what you did this time, but It must be dangerous!"

Hirata Makoto opened his slightly red eyes and focused on that terrifying hole, as if his whole soul fell into it from the middle.

He slipped off the chair next to the coffee table and knelt down on the dirty brown carpet like a child who has done something wrong, pulling his face with his hands.

"I'm sorry, brother! It's all my fault!"

He howled and cried frantically, "Too much blood! The stuff inside is flowing out, I want to block it back! I want to block it back! She's still smiling at me!"

When Li Wu was sent out of the house by Hirata Yui, it was already after the collapsed Hirata Makoto passed out.

"Is your uncle all right?"

When he was about to leave, he asked.

After reinstalling both eyes, Yui Hirata nodded sadly: "Actually, I told my uncle before, but it won't take long for him to forget about it."

"For him, a moving corpse is a monster that should only exist in horror movies. So when he wakes up, he still thinks that I just cured the disease and left some sequelae."

Li Wu didn't know what to say for a while.

So far, for the law that ordinary people cannot understand and remember supernatural power, which seems to be engraved at the bottom of the world, he just regards it as a law similar to universal gravitation.

Moreover, in past events, this law has generally played a positive role. It erases or distorts extraordinary events from the public's consciousness into another form, maintaining the stability of the superficial society.

But today, for the first time, he saw some negative effects of it.

After waking up, Makoto Hirata will bury the scene that brought him a heavy psychological shadow into the corner of his subconscious until the next stimulus comes, and then continue to work in vain to cure his niece's "sequelae" .

It's like there is a barrier that prevents the two from understanding each other, lying between humans and zombies.

Maybe because he noticed the difference in his expression, Yui Hirata waved his repaired right hand: "Don't worry! I've actually thought of a good solution! Today is just a momentary excitement, it's my fault!"

In order to cooperate with her, Li Wu followed her words and asked: "What method?"

"As long as I become the most powerful idol and earn a lot of money!"

She scratched her bluish-black cheeks, and said with some embarrassment, "It's just like what I said in the day. Isn't uncle worried about skin diseases and other problems? If I put on makeup, I will be welcomed by everyone and treat myself With the money to buy any medicine, he probably won't bother about it?"

The zombie idol turned his hands behind his back and showed a smile that could be included in the "Resident Evil ○" series: "This is my dream. If I have to say it, I might also be grateful to the person who made me like this, rather than dying Nothing after that, or is it better now?"

"...hope your dreams come true."

Li Wu sincerely blessed, "Then, I want to ask you one thing."

A few minutes later, Li Wu got the answer and left the apartment where they lived.
