Mermaid Effect

On the tragic day of the building explosion, the St. Mary's Thanksgiving Hospital was shrouded in heavy sorrow and death.

In the intensive care unit near the West Wing inpatient department, several patients claimed to have seen the angel of death outside the window—a terrible creature with a large body and an ugly body covered with scales.

A 78-year-old man with severe diabetes turned down from the bed. He broke his urinary tube and made the whole ward a mess. The saddest thing is that he was hiding in the mattress because of this small accident. The sacred black chocolate pieces underneath were discovered by his attending doctor.

The sympathetic doctor therefore only regarded the old man as a horror and incoherent description as a lie made for the purpose of concealing sweets.

"But, but I really, really saw it. It was lying outside the window, the eyes were red, it was looking at me... God, am I going to die? I don't want to die."

The old man said to the doctor slyly.

"Well, you won't die, if you don't sneak up the hidden chocolate under the bed, even if you're fine, you can't just squat."

The doctor showed a smile that didn't care and said.

In the window behind him, a tail covered with fine scales shook a bit and quickly disappeared.

On the parking lot of the hospital, several boring teenagers waiting for their parents were stuffed in the family wagon, lying in the seat and playing with the mobile phone.

One person suddenly laughed at the phone.

"what happened?"

"Someone is crazy," the young man shrugged his shoulders and showed his friend's Facebook on the phone to his companion. "Tim said that today he saw a living lizard on the outer wall of 19th Street. ""

"puff--"

The wagon suddenly sounded the laughter of the teenagers.

"God, he is really crazy, you really shouldn't let him see that blue blood book, he shouldn't really believe it, what a lizard lizard..."

"Oh, did he take a photo?"

The young man opened the photo of the "Tim".

The pixels of the photo are very poor. It can be seen that it was taken from a long distance. The object of the shooting is just the external wall on the back side of the building. The fire escape and the rusted pipes make the building on the photo look ruined. There is nothing to be desired.

And be sure to say that there is something wrong with this photo, probably only a strange shadow at the edge of the image.

It's white, it looks like someone has pulled the image off the photo, and the blurred outline reveals a long tail and human form. Assuming that there is really something in the position of the white shadow, it is probably a creature with a human upper body and a slender fish tail, placed directly on the outer wall perpendicular to the ground.

Of course, in the eyes of this group of teenagers, this photo, including the shadow above, is just a joke of the boring boy named Tim.

"Maybe what is the reflective material hanging on the pipe," someone glanced at the photo at random. "God, where did he take the boring photo?"

......

But the strange thing is that he has not received a response from his companions for a long time.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

He wondered as he shook hands in front of his companions, and at this time, his companion was looking at the window outside with a shocked look, his expression looked like a ghost.

"You, have you seen that thing?" The cell phone in the companion's hand fell unconsciously on the ground, but he did not notice it at all, but forced his fingers to poke the glass window. "Just a time, there was a scale-filled thing that climbed from the hospital's outer wall..."

The sneer in the family wagon became louder.

Of course, no one believes that the unlucky teenager, naturally no one will believe that the monsters covered with scales will really appear in their world.

......

In addition to Rand Sifus.

He was exhaustingly accepting fbi's inquiry.

They put forward protective measures for him - starting today, there will be two vehicles disguised as clean cars under his apartment, and his next door will also be in plain clothes.

This made Rand feel a stomachache.

He was restricted from acting. For public safety reasons, he was afraid that he would not be able to travel to Washington before the criminals were arrested. In addition, there are even bigger problems waiting for him.

Those who monitor, correctly say, those "protections"...

Rand simply didn't know how to hide Munster's existence under the supervision of these people. As far as the current situation is concerned, this is like a fantasy.

On the first day of work, his workplace, including those who were not yet familiar, was broken into pieces by a bomb.

And the bomb came to him.

This kind of story, which will only happen in crime TV dramas, combined with the dizziness caused by concussion, makes Rand feel a strong sense of unreality.

For a little while, he couldn't help but ask himself if he really exists in reality, not in a strange, real-life nightmare.

At this moment, Rand found himself starting to miss Vinson, but soon Caroline replayed in his mind with clear and hateful words, which felt like a knife inscribed on it. In his nerves, he brought an unbearable sting.

It was only a short day, but Rand felt like he was suddenly ushered in the "crash" of life.

Everything looked terrible, Rand thought.

He slowly walked on the noisy hallway of the hospital, and someone sent him a worried and sympathetic look, apparently treating him as a victim of the bombings, or the families of the victims. The ceiling light cast a bright radiance on his head, but Rand felt his vision dim, and the invisible pressure covered his body, making him even difficult to breathe.

At this time, a patient screamed and waved his hand and jumped out of the ward.

"Monster, there are monsters!"

The patient's mind was a little too excited. He had adhesive tape for injection on his arm. However, the needle had fallen off and a blood ran down his elbows to his elbow.

After Rand's gaze touched the touch of redness, a strong nausea felt like a fist in his stomach.

"vomit--"

Rand slammed his mouth, and he crossed the effort to subdue the excited patient care worker and quickly walked toward the bathroom.

Rand vomited almost on the floor next to the toilet, although he actually couldn't vomit anything.

His body is heavy, and his thinking is slow to the extreme. In the end, he can only watch the inside of the toilet after the flushing. Someone came in outside, then went out, someone was crying, and some people whispered to each other to discuss how to deal with his cat after death...

Standing in the small cubicle, Rand felt that the world of those outside was far from him.

He felt that he could even stay here in this way until the end of the world...

Then he felt the strange touch coming from behind his neck.

The wet, slimy, cold stuff licked the skin behind his neck, and he smelled a familiar smell of water.

"Oh, no, don't tell me this is true..."

At that moment, the whole world returned to Rand's side. Rand looked at the unadorned cream compartment door in the toilet and didn't even want to look up to confirm his thoughts.

The invisible film that separates the outside world disappears instantly, and instead is the kind of living, shocking feeling that makes the heart beat suddenly.

"Rand!"

However, the sound of Munster's joy finally came from his head.

Rand looked up and saw the monster squatting on the ceiling and swaying his tail slowly.

Its body hangs down from the ceiling, facing the rand, revealing an eccentric smile that flips at an angle.

The fine teeth and the four blood-red eyes became more terrible in this state than before.

Rand felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop at that moment—he remembered the previous patient who rushed to the hallway and was scared to go crazy, and the "monster" that the patient was yelling in his mouth.

He never thought that it was the "monster" he knew (Munster).

"Damn! Munster?"

Rand's face twisted and looked at Munster.

Just before the moment he felt that everything was terrible, but now he found that his life could be even worse.

He almost exclaimed, and it was at this time that he clearly heard the "beep" when the toilet door was pulled open outside the compartment.

Not too late to think about it, Rand hugged Munster's body and pulled him away from the ceiling.

"Lan..."

Munster's long arms hugged Rand's waist, and it fell flexibly in Rand's arms. It clearly felt that this special hug was quite interesting and made a very happy voice.

Rand quickly caught his mouth...

Munster's eyes trembled on the palm of his hand, and then Rand's facial muscles became distorted.

Munster is using his disgusting tongue to lick Rand's hand...

"Munster!"

Rand gnashed his teeth and pressed the sound closer to Munster.

The tail of the latter was wrapped around his waist, and he could not help but scream.

At about the same time, he heard that the passerby who was using the toilet stopped the song in his mouth.

"Oh, damn, this is not the place to go to bed!"

He roared in the compartment where Rand and Munster were.
