Abnormal items

Si Xing had a good rest these days. The rooms and food in the Tower of Babel were first-class, although no matter where Si Xing went, he was always followed by two big men in black.

Fortunately, Si Xing was already used to this kind of life in the mental hospital and didn't feel anything.

As the days passed, the big-hearted Si Xing gradually felt a trace of anxiety.

After he entered the Tower of Babel and met Marcus once, Si Xing never saw him again.

Si Xing had a premonition that his leisurely life was coming to an end soon...

Just after lunch today, Si Xing walked out of the cafeteria and saw Marcus with a smile.

The first time he saw him, Si Xing's heart skipped a beat.

When someone who never shows up appears, it's usually not a good thing. For example, a classmate who you haven't contacted for many years contacts you, either to borrow money or to ask you to join him when he is getting married.

"Si Xing, have you been resting well these days?" Marcus didn't seem to notice, but Si Xing's face suddenly turned sharply after seeing him, but he still asked with a smile.

"Uh, okay." Si Xing said perfunctorily with a grin on his face.

"Just get a good rest. We have all the equipment and we can start it at night. Are you okay?"

"I said there was a problem, is it helpful?" Si Xing asked with a wry smile.

"It's useless." Marcus' expression remained unchanged.

"Then why are you asking me?" Si Xing rolled his eyes.

"I'm just asking you to fulfill the procedure. You should adjust your state and prepare for the evening's work." Marcus said the coldest words with the kindest expression.

Si Xing sighed and nodded with a wry smile.

Marcus seemed very satisfied and turned around and left.

Si Xing wanted to spit at Marcus's back, but he was afraid that this was his territory and someone would discover him. After thinking about it, he swallowed his saliva.

Although Si Xing likes fishing, this is his first time fishing, and he is fishing in a place that sounds very "weird".

Even though he is full of reluctance, Si Xing has been very cooperative so far.

The reason is that Jie Zuo is sick. Si Xing thinks he is not sick, and he is sure that Jie Zuo is sick.

But in the entire rest hospital, if anyone is Si Xing's friend, then Jie Zuo is definitely one.

When he told others that he could fish in the basin, other people's reactions were either to sneer or to increase the dose of medicine for him.

Only Jie Zuo believed in him from beginning to end, and even dug earthworms for him.

After what happened with Qiong, Si Xing thought that reconciling Zuo was a fateful acquaintance.

Si Xing felt it was worth taking a risk for a "fateful acquaintance".

This is one of the reasons why he has been protesting verbally but has been extremely cooperative.

Another reason is because he is cowardly...

After dinner, Si Xing was "escorted" by two big men in black and came to a room.

Marcus was also in the room and saw Si Xing come in and say hello to him.

In addition to Marcus, there were many researchers in white coats walking back and forth in the room.

Si Xing tried hard to calm down, but his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"Come here." Marcus called to Si Xing.

Si Xing walked to Marcus with a "shushing" sound.

In front of Marcus is a glass that can see the scene in the next room.

There was only one table in the next room, and a small metal box was placed on the table.

There is also a small hole in the glass, and a fishing rod sticks out from the small hole. The hooked end of the fishing rod goes directly to the room next door where the 'small box' is placed.

"Maybe this is the 'useless water' they call it." Si Xing thought to himself.

"You fish in this room, and the 'useless water' is placed in the next room. Don't worry, we will ensure your safety." Marcus patted Sixing on the shoulder.

Si Xing grinned, but the smile looked very forced.

"Okay, let's get started." Marcus ordered the white-clothed researcher next to him.

The researchers very "considerately" moved a small maza and let Si Xing sit and fish.

As soon as Si Xing sat down, another researcher blindfolded Si Xing.

"How can I fish when I'm blindfolded?" Si Xing protested.

"You can take it off, as long as you don't want to die." Marcus said calmly.

"Then... forget it then." Si Xing shrank his neck.

Two D-class personnel came into the next room, and one D-class personnel kept his eyes closed the entire time. The other one quickly opened the box, put the fishhook in and left immediately.

With just a glance, the D-class personnel who opened the box went blind. The other one quietly opened his eyes, but did not look at the box, and led the blind personnel out of the room.

"Okay." Marcus patted Sixing on the shoulder, indicating that everything was ready and it was time to fish.

Si Xing fumbled to hold the fishing rod, took a few deep breaths and slowly entered the state.

Everything around him seemed to disappear in Si Xing's perception, leaving only him and his fishing rod.

Si Xing was immersed in it, feeling the fishing rod and the hook at the end.

Unlike being in the water, Si Xing's first feeling was that it was sticky, like the greasy feeling of not taking a shower for a month in the summer and rolling around in the mud, which made people very uncomfortable.

Si moved his body and continued to feel.

In his perception, the hook is sinking, sinking...

An aversion to cold crawled up Si Xing's body along the fishing rod. This aversion to coldness was like maggots on his tarsal bones, eating away at him.

Si Xing gritted his teeth and grabbed the fishing rod tightly with both hands and refused to let go.

Marcus saw Si Xing's body starting to tremble, so he put his hand on Si Xing's shoulder.

Si Xing suddenly felt a "warmth" flowing through his body in the cold, and his body stopped trembling.

In Si Xing's perception, the fishhook continued to sink as if there was no end.

The fishhook is clearly communicated to the line, and the further down the line, the greater the "resistance" becomes.

Si Xing's hand holding the fishing rod turned white, and the fishing rod made a "squeaking" sound.

Marcus looked back at the researcher in white, who shook his head at Marcus.

Si Xing was still wrestling with the fishhook. Every inch he sank, the sweat on Si Xing's head increased.

"Okay." Marcus patted Sixing on the shoulder, indicating that it was okay and that was all for today.

At this time, Si Xing knew nothing about the outside world, and all his attention was on the fishhook.

Marcus saw something was wrong and hurriedly called on the white-clothed personnel to forcefully separate the fishing rod and the line.

A few big men pulled the company, and a few big men pulled the fishing rods.

Si Xing held on to the fishing rod tightly and refused to let go. It took everyone's efforts to separate him from the fishing rod.

The moment they separated, Si Xing immediately felt as if his soul had been "drained" - his face was pale, his whole body was as if he had been fished out of the water, and his jaw was clenched...

The medical staff waiting outside rushed in immediately and carried Si Xing on a stretcher...

…………

Two days have passed since Si Xing's first "fishing". In two days, Si Xing barely recovered.

Si Xing, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still frightened thinking about what he had experienced the past few days, but suddenly he remembered Jie Zuo who was in the abyss.

"I just tried to put the fishhook in, that's all. Xie Zuo must be even worse now..."
