deformed bone

The blood on Calvin's face suddenly faded.

Time seemed to suddenly become slow and viscous at this moment, and the voice of the old woman also became extremely harsh and weird in this transformation.

Calvin turned his head, and he stared at the old woman.

Had she grown up like this before?Calvin's brain was a little fuzzy, he vaguely remembered that not long ago she was just an old woman in a blue suit, her behavior was normal, and she could even be said to be kind.But what happened to the monster that caught his eyes now?

The other party's shriveled face was covered with fine wrinkles, and the crevices of the wrinkles were crowded with cloudy and old eyes—the kind of eyes that had lost all vitality, intelligence, curiosity, and even all the qualities that can make human beings beautiful .There are two small white clouds hidden in the small eyes, which makes her look like a zombie who has been dead for a long time.Her lips were also completely shriveled, with small vertical lines above her lips, and her teeth, no doubt carefully groomed and whitened by a dentist, showed a fine whiteness that was the opposite of her aging face.

A dark red tongue flickered behind her white teeth as she babbled on about those empty, boring Adventist sermons.

Calvin's whole body froze completely.

To compare it, a person is immersed in liquid ammonia alive, and then freezes into a statue while maintaining a terrified posture.

"...I know that everything I said sounds so ridiculous, but believe me, before I truly received the blessings bestowed on me by the Son of God, I was as ignorant, indifferent, hating, and suspicious as a mortal."

With a sharp voice, the old woman flicked her tongue quickly and said to the man holding the cat.

Calvin smelled the old-fashioned scent of shower gel on her body, mixed with that unmistakable old man's stench.

His whole body was cold and sweating, but he didn't move because of the dizziness flooding towards him like a tide - he didn't dare to make any movements, because he was very suspicious, once he moved, his eyes would go black and he would faint land.

He can't attract any extra attention now, especially the attention of Adventists.Even if Virgil didn't say it in detail, Calvin could still keenly perceive how crazy the outside world was chasing him.

If there was a choice, Fogg would not have agreed to allow Calvin to cut off his own wings where other animals had their eggs and wombs cut.

Calvin tried his best to control his limbs, but the nausea... and rage... was rushing through his veins like an electric current, and the pain was almost driving Calvin crazy.Fortunately, the two people beside him didn't pay any attention to him. The old woman focused on the man who kept the cat, and she tried to convince him with a strange enthusiasm.

"Sorry, I actually..." the man said awkwardly.

"Hey, young man, listen to me, you'll like the story I'm going to tell!" The old woman interrupted the man almost arrogantly, stretching out her withered hand, The big white dog beside him pressed hard on the forehead, and the situation inexplicably reminded Calvin of the scene in horror movies where the facehugger hugged the victim's head.

Calvin silently clenched his fist beside him, his nails digging deeply into his palm.

"...Did you see my little cutie? Its name is Darling, and it has been with me for many years. I have raised it since it was a little meat bug that didn't open its eyes. Yes, it is me. The only family. I think you can understand the feeling, the... bond... but I've been through the same thing as you, the fuckers, the vet, whatever, they've tried everything but to get you All that's left to shove money out of your pockets is tell you there's nothing they can do about your dog's cancer! Shit, a bunch of stinky shit, including Mira, oh my god she's a kid I watched growing up but she Still say to me 'oh auntie, I'm sorry, Darling's illness is coming to an end, he's suffering, why doesn't he just go away peacefully?'"

"So, so you went to find that... sect?"

After hearing the experience of the old woman, the man finally shifted his attention to her.

"Yes, that's right, I finally found a way out for my little baby. I prayed, prayed, and prayed with all my heart... Finally, the supreme power responded to me." The old woman showed a look of ecstasy. With a distorted smile, "They took my Darling to see the Holy Son, and when it came back to me, the diseases that had tortured it for a long time disappeared, and it was even healthier and younger than before... ..."

[Wheeze——]

[Wheeze——]

……

In the nightmarish voice of the old woman, Calvin heard heavy breathing.

It was the breathing of the big white dog.

Oh yes, there was indeed a big dog at the old woman's feet, was it brought to the pet hospital by the old woman because of breathing problems?

Calvin looked down at the dog with difficulty, and then his pupils suddenly constricted.

Was he hallucinating because of nervousness?He clearly saw that the dog gradually began to melt and deform in the old woman's narration.

The smooth fur quickly withered, dried up, and fell off the pus-soaked skin.

Its eyeballs swelled and protruded from the eye sockets, and then a small group of wriggling white worms burst out of the blue-black mucus, and those worms kept wriggling on its rotting skin.This is a dead dog, but there is a slight green will-o'-the-wisp in its black eye sockets that are constantly dripping with corpse water.

Its tongue, swollen into a purple mass, was lodged in its gaping mouth, making it almost impossible to catch its breath.

It is in severe pain - even though it is dead.

Calvin's eyes began to heat up involuntarily. He didn't know how to deal with this situation, nor could he understand the pity that suddenly rushed into his heart.

[Poor child, oh, poor child...]

In a trance, Calvin seemed to hear another voice moaning continuously in his heart.

He almost shed tears because of it.

"Meow woo woo woo—"

As if there was some wonderful induction, Ms. Vera, who had been very calm (and so wise) before, let out a threatening growl from her throat.

hula-

Invisibly, something suddenly shattered.

The unique threatening sound of cats is like the alarm bell for the morning shift at 06:30 in the morning, causing Calvin to fall out of that half-dream, half-awake, dream-like state in an instant.Even his body felt suddenly heavy for a moment, and the flow of time around him naturally returned to normal.

Calvin felt that the moment just now was extremely long, but after waking up, he realized that it was actually only a short period of time.

He raised his eyes suddenly and looked around.

The girl holding the rabbit had already sat farther away in disgust, while the young nurse who was obviously clumsy stretched her neck and stared in the direction of Calvin and the others in embarrassment. Not sure whether to pay attention to come to stop the old woman who is getting more and more emotional.

As for the old woman who looked like a demon just now... Aside from the disgusting point of dancing and spitting flying when she spoke, she no longer looked distorted and deformed.

It was just an old, stupid old woman.

A large white dog squatted next to her, its tongue protruding a little from the gap between its teeth, and saliva gathered on the tip of the tongue.

That dead, rotting white dog was just Calvin's hallucination.

"Well, sorry, I have my own religion."

Ms. Vera's master had obviously endured it again and again, but he couldn't bear it in the end.He frowned and said to the old woman.

As if to prove what he said was true, he even pulled up his cuffs and quickly showed the tattoo on his wrist to the old woman [of course, Calvin instinctively felt that it was just a tattoo sticker].

Although it was only for a short moment, Calvin could clearly see the opponent's tattoo: it was in the shape of an eye, and there were three wavy beards on the left and right sides of the eye.

Calvin twitched his lips.

He likes the young man even more now than he did before—at least he has a perfect sense of humor.

Calvin would not have mistaken that seemingly weird symbol, which was the symbol of the Flying Spaghetti Cult.

"No, you can't believe in false—"

"Mrs. Anna, I thought you might want to take a break? Dr. Mira has been worried about your blood pressure, and you seem a little too excited right now."

Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, the young nurse came forward to support the old woman with a bitter face and interrupted what the latter was about to say.

"Don't touch me." The old woman called Mrs. Anna muttered in disgust.

As a bystander, Calvin can understand why the nurse has been hesitant to come forward. Mrs. Anna has a deeper sympathy with the doctors and nurses of this pet hospital than the doctor-patient relationship, but the relationship between the two parties is not harmonious.

Apparently, the old woman had been bitter about the euthanasia Dr. Mira had previously suggested.

"I hate liars. Meera won't worry about me. She just wants me to die, just like she always wanted Darling to die quickly."

Mrs. Anna diverted the fire from the cat man to the hapless nurse.The bad temper and forgetfulness of the elderly are perfectly reflected in her.

Calvin suspected that she might have developed early Alzheimer's disease, but the nurse didn't seem to have much experience with people like the old woman.

The nurse looked at the old woman stiffly, at a loss.

"lady……"

"Hehe, don't worry, I didn't come here to make trouble, and I seldom make trouble for others now. The great Holy Son told us to have a positive attitude towards people and things in this world... That's why I Will be here, I just want Meera to see, to see what a huge and horrible mistake she almost made."

She tightly grasped the white dog's collar, her eyes stared as if they were going to protrude from their sockets in a second.

"Look at my Darling, how young, strong, and cute he is now. If I didn't have firm willpower and followed Mira's words by mistake, think about how terrible it would be. My Darling She will die under her misdiagnosis..."

The nurse took a few steps back unconsciously. She looked at the white dog beside the old woman, and the expression on her face became particularly weird and bitter.
