beauty and money

Chapter 35 34

In the next few days, Mary really lived in fear. She seemed to have spotted the stalker a few times, but when she turned around, he was nowhere to be seen.In the next few days, the feeling of being like a shadow disappeared, and she thought it might be because the person felt bored and gave up, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

Mary was obsessed with studying knowledge and writing, and the woman on the street corner who had spoken to her had already seen Mary's true identity, because she could smell the blood on her body, a familiar situation that only women could understand.In order to thank her for the note, Mary offered a few extra pennies and asked her to help keep an eye on the movement on the street. She is in danger now, and any disturbance in the grass will stimulate her sensitive nerves. At this time, Mary is very understanding. Mrs. Nutt often talked about the neuralgia, which was really unbearable.

It's just that everyone has a secret, and that woman is curious but won't reveal it, which is of no benefit to her.In order to prevent the intersection with her classmates, Mary lived in secluded places and often chose courses that many people attended together. Being in the crowd made her feel safer.

A few times the guy whom Mary scolded at the beginning of the term wanted to come over and make trouble, but Mary was very clever and followed the professor out of the classroom.The professor who helped her keep the secret was her best shield and saved her from many unnecessary troubles. Thinking that there were still a few years to come, Mary was very worried. She asked the professor if he could To finish the course early, the professor said that it must be a short-term subject and pass the exam.

Philosophy courses are long or short, and they are two-year courses. Most business laws are relatively short, and some subjects are only one year, which are business studies. Most people come in just to get University graduation certificate, although they don't know that Oxford's tradition is to allow entry and exit strictly. If you want to graduate, you need real skills, otherwise just print a copy, such things are worthless.

There are some basic accounting courses in the business department, but there are not many open to the outside world. Only a few basic courses are in the lecture hall, and the rest of the courses are not open to the outside world. The handling of accounts and paperwork is cumbersome and complicated.Originally, Mary wasn't very interested in this aspect, but since she lived independently, she was always out of money, and the financial hardship forced Mary to bite the bullet and take courses in this area, even though she always forced herself to Keep your spirits up, but as soon as she hears a topic related to numbers, her mind will be distracted.

Some of the most cutting-edge science is not accessible to her at this time. Several public classes are overcrowded. There is an anatomy class in the amphitheater on Sunday. I heard that it is a death row prisoner, and the jailer brought many prisoners to see the anatomy , Threatening them, if they are released and commit heinous crimes, this will be the end.People generally believe that if the body cannot be peaceful, then the soul will go to hell, which is more deterrent than a stick.

Because this is the first anatomy class in the school year, and it may be the last time this semester, because there may not always be heinous villains.Oxford has been crowded with people since the morning, because the anatomy class can be said to be very important. If almost all classes would be stopped in normal times, students would pour into this circular lecture hall that can accommodate hundreds of people. Sunday is for all students to have the opportunity to learn.

It wasn't too early for Mary to come. The tight seat in the front row was already crowded with medical students. She didn't want to get too close, lest she be noticed.Just stand still at the highest point. There are skeletons hanging on the dome of the lecture theater. It should look eerie, but in this wide classroom, it only makes people feel solemn and sacred.

When it was almost ten o'clock, many students came in one after another. The whole classroom was full. In a relatively crowded situation, the circular classroom can accommodate thousands of people. I saw a crowd of people, and the students whispered. Students who didn't know each other gathered in twos and threes to discuss. Some of them carried notebooks or picture albums, and some held small binoculars for watching operas.

Mary's eyesight is not very good, so she has to wear glasses to see clearly. Today she put her precious gold-rimmed glasses on her face, which added a lot of elegance.Soon there was a commotion among the people below. It turned out that the corpses to be dissected were brought in. The jailer led a few prisoners to stand at close range and locked them together. They looked at each other not knowing what was going to happen, but The students thought badly that they didn't have to scare a few people out for a while.

Several professors were dressed in white and pushed up a cloth-covered corpse. When they unwrapped the shroud, Mary blushed. She suddenly realized that she was looking at a male body that she shouldn't be looking at. , but the vital parts of the corpse were covered with a white cloth, and the breathless autopsy began.

Mary couldn't help but listen attentively. The professors signaled the students to be quiet, and there was no sound in the round classroom with the close-audience, only the sound of breathing and a small cough.Mary tried her best to focus on the content of the professor's speech. Because of the distance, she couldn't see clearly, but could only see the outline.

The gray-haired professor began to talk about the composition of the human body and the concept of the circulatory system. Two of his assistants skillfully opened the corpse with a chest opener. Not to mention the prisoners watching from a close distance, they even aimed at the corpse from afar with peripheral vision. Mary, who arrived, couldn't help but gasped, and dizziness flooded her head. The discomfort in her stomach made her want to vomit, or scream or something, but she held on, and she could do it if others could. of.

At this moment, she squeezed her right hand slightly, and the old patient would feel pain when the right arm was exerted, which allowed her to stay awake and divert her attention.There are not a few who grit their teeth like her. Except for some medical students who can breathe normally, the rest of the students are almost white-faced and gasped. Some of them covered their mouths on the spot, and one boy even rolled his eyes. He fell down, and the janitor seemed to be very experienced in this kind of situation. He ordered the staff to carry away the fainted students, and provided clay pots for the students who were about to vomit.

Clay pots were passed among the students, and the sour smell made people want to vomit. The school staff kindly opened the large windows near the dome to keep the air fresh.Someone saw Mary's face and almost vomiting, and handed her a clay pot. There was other people's vomit in it, and it smelled disgusting. Mary waved her hand immediately, she didn't want to get close to that thing at all.

Seeing her waving her hand, the man handed the pot to the janitor to clean it up.Mary hadn't eaten this morning despite her stomach upset, thanks to her father's old schoolmates who specifically warned her not to eat during anatomy class, it would make her feel worse than die.At this moment, she really understood why, because the assistant was cutting the skin and fat layer, and the professor pointed to the skin, fat layer, diaphragm, distinction between chest and abdomen, lungs, etc. You have to keep your face. Those prisoners were gagged because someone was screaming, some even peed on their pants, and the filth was all over the floor. I haven't seen it before, so I can still maintain my demeanor.

Mary couldn't see the corpse at all, but the red and white internal organs made her eyes black, and she couldn't think about anything in her head. Fortunately, most of the students present were similar to her, especially the freshmen who had never seen the market. Being pinched by the neck, I dare not breathe.

The explanation was almost finished. The professor took out the digestive system and showed it to the students. Then there were a few fainted ones. He put the digestive system on a silver tray and asked the assistant to walk back and forth with the silver tray so that the students could see it. more clearly.

Mary, who had kept her eyes away and dared not look at it, just glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and immediately felt her body lost her balance. The whole world tilted and turned black, and she fell straight to the side.

Just when Mary's line of sight was about to touch the ground, she felt her body being supported, and a voice from far away but close to her ear said, "Hey, are you okay?" She immediately stood up straight vigilantly , leaning on the wall with her hand, it took a while to react and said: "Thank you, it's nothing serious." Her eyes were blank and she didn't even notice the playful smile of the man who supported her. He has a very good appearance and is well dressed , black hair and golden eyes added a bit of mystery to him.

Mary leaned against the wall and gasped for a while before recovering. Although she had seen pictures of the digestive system in medical books, they were just pencil sketches and not realistic. Dare to look the same, after regaining her senses a little, she solemnly thanked the man, and finally noticed the gentleman's handsome face and well-dressed clothes.

He looks refined and rather delicate, his black hair combed meticulously, and the few people with him are well-dressed and well-dressed students. Among a group of wildly dressed college students, it's like attending a banquet. She recognizes this person, this He is a gentleman who has been praised more than once by the professors. Mr. Gradle has a good temper and good popularity. Even a student like Mary, who does not communicate with others, can hear the praise of this gentleman from the professors and other students. Mr. Greed's praise, this gentleman's achievements are very impressive, especially his major is philosophy, which made Mary meet each other and his friends more than once, and she didn't want to have too many interactions with others Communication is just a normal thank you, and I want to go out for a while under the pretext of being uncomfortable.

After Mary walked away, that Greeder raised the corner of his mouth and said, "He is the weirdo of our subject. He doesn't associate with anyone. He's very mysterious, isn't he?" He squeezed his hand, which didn't feel like This man, whose origin is mysterious and unknown, it is best to have a chance to get in touch with him in depth, what a good test subject he is.

There is only an exit from the bottom floor of the circular classroom, which will inevitably pass through corpses, professors, and prisoners. Mary feels that she will faint if she looks at it again.So she just blended into the corner of the crowd, leaning against the wall with half-closed eyes, but her ears were listening to the voice of the professor, as well as her own beating heartbeat.

It was as if she could feel her own breathing and the embrace just now. Mary, who had never felt this way before, was very scared.When she heard the gasp of the crowd when her eyes were half closed, she couldn't help but open a gap to see the plot after the craniotomy. Seeing this scene, Mary's eyes widened, as if she had been paused. She has improved a lot since the debugging. This kind of picture is not clear at all because of the distance. She is scaring herself.

The entire dissection process lasted for more than two hours, and it didn't end until noon. Mary walked to her apartment in a daze, as if she had lost her soul, and didn't communicate with anyone, just like a puppet.When she got to her apartment, the afternoon sun was very good, and the spring was beautiful, but she felt chills all over her body. When she opened the door, the nerves in her brain collapsed completely, and she threw up holding the dirty water jug, while Trembling while vomiting, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.

Then she collapsed, like a frozen corpse, her mind was in a mess, when she barely climbed onto the bed, she felt that she didn't even have the strength to take off her clothes, her mind was flying around The human body, in the end when everything calmed down, she kept recalling the good things, but it always turned bad in the end.

Finally, in the chaos, she began to think of the most impressive and beautiful things. After all the chaos receded, only Mr. Benest's perfect and surprisingly handsome beauty stayed for a long time. Sure enough, beauty can dispel all horrors.
