The First Evolution

,!

nineteen years later

late autumn,

The cold rain continued,

A young man sat dumbly in the coffee shop, staring out the window at the busy traffic and bustling city.

Although there were bursts of warmth in the palm of his hand holding the cup, his heart felt cold...

why?

Because of the hospital examination sheet in my arms.

Although the doctor was evasive when explaining the checklist and used many words such as "suspected", "possible", "not ruled out" and so on, Fang Linyan still smelled a very ominous smell from it.

So, he made a phone call next and called a client who knew medical skills. He didn't say it was his own checklist, only that it was from a friend. After he finished reading the contents of the checklist, the client was very casual. The way:

"Lung cancer in the advanced stage is basically hopeless."

Then, his mind went blank for more than half an hour, and he just stood on the side of the road in a daze, not knowing how to get home in the end.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already sitting in front of the bed, his hands were cold, and his heart was at a loss. As usual, he went to the coffee shop downstairs and ordered a cup of coffee, and then his brain gradually returned to his senses.

Suddenly, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained out of him, and he fell to the ground. He covered his face tightly with his hands and let out a whimpering sound:

"I don't want to die...I'm only nineteen years old!"

For Fang Linyan, this late autumn November was the longest month in his life. First, a relative who depended on him passed away, and then just after the funeral, he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

Although Fang Linyan had suffered setbacks since he was a child and his nerves had been trained to be tough enough, he collapsed in the face of such continuous heavy injuries. He stayed in a rental house for two days before recovering. But in the face of the great horror between life and death, He still suffers from intermittent mood swings.

But who is not like this, drifting silently in the distance, occasionally screaming and crying, screaming to the sky and losing control, and finally gradually cooling down, numbly gritting his teeth and struggling in this indifferent world?

Cold eyes, cold nights and cold rain. In this month, Fang Linyan suffered too many looks and suffered too much pressure. He did not completely collapse because of his strong psychological quality. The world was too harsh and too harsh on him. However, he still gritted his teeth and held on with the tenacity of a cockroach!

After a while, Fang Linyan stood up again, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and finally readjusted his state. He coughed a few times and frowned, apparently trying to hold back the pain. After searching around the house, he found half a stick of beef jerky that had regained some moisture.

Although Fang Linyan had no appetite at all, he still gritted his teeth and ate the remaining beef jerky bit by bit. If someone were around, they would think that Fang Linyan frowned and tore food with his teeth, resembling a wolf.

The hungry wolf was forced to the end of the road in the snowstorm, but still showed its teeth and exploded its fur! !

Full of wildness, and even more dangerous!

In Fang Linyan's heart, he always remembers one sentence:

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!

After finishing eating, Lin Yan took out his cell phone and looked at it. He found that he had received a sum of money. Just as he was about to go out, a violent cough suddenly hit him. He stooped and leaned on the wall, coughing to pieces. The heart splits and the lungs almost cough out all the internal organs.

After a while, Fang Linyan stood up again, gasping for breath. Blood was clearly flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the palm of the hand covering his mouth was even more stained with blood. He casually pulled a piece of paper to wipe away the blood, took a pill for himself, and then weakly walked out of the door.

***

The supermarket on the corner is still open, but it is raining lightly. The cold raindrops mixed with the cold wind fall on people's bodies, giving them a chill that goes deep into their bones. Even those holding umbrellas had their heads or necks hunched and walked in a hurry.

Because this road is relatively remote, the cameras and electronic eyes installed have long been damaged. In addition, this is still a slum area, and the authorities do not pay enough attention to it. Therefore, many overloaded trucks and slag trucks drive unscrupulously on this road. It passed by, making a loud roaring noise, which could be described as a rampage, and the road surface was seriously damaged.

Fang Linyan walked on the road with an indifferent expression. Five minutes later, he arrived at the supermarket and started shopping.

"A big box of instant noodles..."

"Dried Noodles (Promotion) Ten Catties"

"A bag of beef jerky (supplementing nutrition)"

“A packet of bean paste (noodle seasoning)”

"..."

It can be seen that Fang Linyan purchased these things just to have enough food. Why is he so frugal? It was because he had borrowed a lot of foreign debts when he treated Uncle Xu, who had adopted him, and held a funeral, which totaled hundreds of thousands.

Although Fang Linyan had a very difficult childhood and adolescence and had a sense of hostility in his heart, when his outlook on life was taking shape, he was deeply influenced by the honest and sincere Uncle Xu.

So he had an obsession in his heart at this time. Even if he was terminally ill and incurable, he still had to pay off his debt before he died. In addition, the boss Fang Linyan met before was a tough guy, which is why he was so frugal.

After quickly buying all the things he needed, Fang Linyan took the things and planned to go to the checkout counter to pay. However, at this time, he suddenly felt a stomachache and went to the bathroom of the supermarket.

After coming out of the toilet, it is natural to wash hands at the sink outside. Usually, there is a mirror directly opposite the sink, so that customers can take care of their appearance.

Pale lights were cast from above, and there was no one at the sink. After Fang Linyan washed his hands, he habitually patted his face with cold water to refresh himself. This was a habit he had developed after working in a car repair shop for several years.

However, just when he looked up at the mirror opposite, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and an indescribable feeling of fear instantly enveloped his whole body! !

It turned out that Fang Linyan did not see his face in the mirror!

Where the mirror should have been, there was actually a dense whirlpool of black clouds and mist! Not only that, a hand full of scars and blood stretched out from the whirlpool, grabbed Fang Linyan's neck, and pulled him forward fiercely.

Fang Linyan only felt a hot and sharp pain coming from the place where he was grabbed on his neck, as if he had been branded with a branding iron! He was completely powerless, or to be precise, the power he possessed had no ability to resist in front of the bloody palm.

Just when Fang Linyan's face was about to hit the whirlpool of black clouds, he suddenly found a crazy blood-red eyeball appearing in the whirlpool. The eyeball looked like it was dug out of the eye socket, and there were still holes around the eyeball. There were remnants of scarlet tissue, filled with bloodshot eyes.

The deep pupils seemed to have a huge attraction. When Fang Linyan's eyes came into contact with them, he immediately felt like he was spinning in the clouds and mist, and then he lost consciousness and knew nothing.

***

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly Fang Linyan felt a sharp stabbing pain in his chest. His whole body suddenly twitched, and he recovered from the dizziness.

Then he realized that he was still standing in front of the sink. He gasped a few times, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked around, but found that there were no bloody scars on his palms, no thick black clouds and swirls, and no bloodshot eyes. s eyes.

There was only the quiet bathroom, the sound of water dripping from the faucet, and the pale light projected gently from above. I kept my hands on the sink and stared at the mirror in front of me, as if what I had experienced before was completely the same. A hallucination!

Fang Linyan was confused for a while, then walked out of the door, picked up the shopping basket, and planned to go to the cashier to pay. But when he walked out of the bathroom, he was stunned because he saw that the staff inside had already started mopping the floor and packing the shelves.

This ordinary thing means that it is almost half past nine at this time, because the supermarket closes at ten o'clock. In order to get off work on time, these sales assistants and shopping guides must clean up in advance.

However, Fang Linyan clearly remembered that he went out at half past seven. Because when I left, the ccav weather forecast was playing on the TV at the canteen at the door. Even the walk from my home to the supermarket would not take more than 20 minutes. I never went to the supermarket by myself. I just bought things according to the list. Let's go, then I'm in the bathroom...

Stayed for nearly an hour and a half! !

Such a mysterious thing immediately made the hairs on Fang Linyan's back stand on end.

"This...this is impossible!"

If he had really stood with his hands on the sink for an hour and a half, then people in the supermarket would have come to check, at least they wouldn't have the indifferent face they see now.

What happened in this hour and a half?
