Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 75: Whale Song (44)

Dragon Raja 5

Because they are all aliens, monsters that cannot be tolerated in the human world. Even if some humans may accept them for special reasons, they will eventually be expelled as aliens or hanged on the gallows.

Humans instinctively fear creatures that are stronger than themselves, even if they have human appearance.

Crow hurried out, answering the phone as he ran. Nuonuo glanced at the medical kit Crow had left behind, but then took down a heavier box from the shelf—a repair toolbox. She squatted beside Lu Mingfei, opened the toolbox, and took out a pair of pliers.

“Help me hold this guy with all your strength.” Nuonuo glanced at Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang nodded and hugged Lu Mingfei’s upper body. He had the mental age of a fifteen-year-old boy, but the physique of a full-grown man. In close combat, he could tie Lu Mingfei and unless Lu Mingfei transformed into a dragon, he couldn’t struggle.

From the sturdy steel clamp, he guessed what Nono was going to do. Nono was going to pull out the pair of short-curved knives. A rapidly healing body could squeeze out the shrapnel, but it probably wouldn’t be able to do anything about the short-curved knives that had pierced both elbows. If he waited any longer, the short-curved knives would completely merge with the new tissue, like a small tree with a nail stuck in its trunk growing into a towering tree.

But if this kind of surgery were performed without strong anesthesia, wouldn’t the immense pain alone be enough to destroy a person? Chu Zihang looked at Nuonuo nervously. Nuonuo’s expression was calm as he put a tourniquet on Lu Mingfei’s upper arm to prevent heavy bleeding from the wound after the short arc knife was pulled out.

She looked up at Chu Zihang, smiled silently, lowered her eyes and continued to operate.

“It should hurt, but I’m not him, so I don’t know how much it hurts.” Nuonuo said without looking up, “But this isn’t the first time. Last time, I cleaned out almost a kilogram of debris from his body, and his blood soaked through two sheets.”

“Brother is so brave.” Chu Zihang said after a long silence.

“He wasn’t like this when I knew him.”

“What kind of person was your brother back then?”

“If I had to use just one word to describe me, I’d say coward. If I had to add another, I’d say cheap. He don’t have much ambition. He like pretty girls but don’t have the courage to pursue them. He envy their glamorous lives but too lazy to put in the effort. Whenever something sad happens, he try to forget it. I say his ideal in life is to just eat and wait for death.”

“Then how did he become like this?”

Nuonuo paused for a moment, her eyes changed slightly, then she continued to bend down and put a tourniquet on Lu Mingfei’s other arm.

“Because he’s too lonely, right? And he’s afraid of getting hurt. His social circle was already small, and the people he cared about left him one by one.” Nono said lightly, “Everyone lives a life, but people’s lives are different. Some people’s lives are like Sinbad’s journey through the seven seas. They meet many interesting people, make many friends, and have many stories to brag about when they are old. For such people, every past event is precious, but not that precious. It’s like a person with a lot of money. It’s a pity to lose a few dollars, but he’s still rich. But this guy is a poor guy, so poor that there are not many people he really cares about, and there are not many things he really cares about. If these people and these things were okay, he could continue to be cowardly and mean, but when these people and these things are not right, he panics, and when he panics, he becomes anxious, and when he is anxious, he goes crazy, and when he goes crazy, he becomes like this.”

Nuonuo looked at Chu Zihang and said, “You are also someone he cares about.”

Chu Zihang didn’t say anything. He stared at Nuonuo with wide eyes and blinked at her hard.

“Don’t panic, don’t move, hold him tight and don’t let go.” Nuonuo completely ignored his warning, her tone still nonchalant, “I don’t know what you saw, it must have been scary, but first we have to pull the knife out of this guy’s arm. As for the person standing behind me, she’s not someone who would take advantage of someone in distress. What I said just now was for you as well as for her.”

Chu Zihang and Nuonuo were face to face. Nuonuo couldn’t see what he saw. But he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only use his eyes to remind Nuonuo, because the scene before him was really too weird.

There was a person standing behind Nuonuo, outside the range of the light. Chu Zihang couldn’t see her face clearly, but judging from her figure, it was a girl.

She was very quiet, with a slender figure, even slim. She must have been standing there for quite a while, without any movement or sound. But from the moment Chu Zihang accidentally noticed her, he was overwhelmed by the mountain-like aura she exuded.

The so-called mountain-like momentum means that it stays there quietly, but you cannot ignore it, nor do you feel you can shake it.

As Nuonuo continued to ramble on, the mountain-like figure moved, a simple wave of her hand. But as she raised her hand, a silver scalpel, lightly lifted from the open medical kit beside Nuonuo, spun around like a sentient beast, and slowly approached the back of Nuonuo’s neck.

It was a silver rattlesnake that had locked onto the aorta at the back of Nono’s neck.

“This thing is like one of those hard and unpalatable little walnuts. You can throw it anywhere, but if you insist on biting it, it will be so hard that it can break your teeth.” Nono continued her operation, still talking to herself.

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Nuonuo was not talking to herself, nor was she talking to him. From a certain moment on, Nuonuo’s words were all spoken to the person behind her.
