Gravity ah, To You They Are Synonymous
As she left, lying on the ICU operating table, Nordly suddenly spoke:
"…Don't mind me anymore."
Her tone was unpretedly weak, pletely losing the strength and stability she usually had, as light as a piece of paper in the wind.
"Head Nurse Nordly? We've already given you ahesia—has the qi bee so chaotic that the aheti no longer hold?"
"Anna… she has a hard time."
Nordly's tone was full of sorrow:
"Someone like me, it's good if I die. I've itted so many sins, now it's time for me to atone…"
"What are you saying—if it weren't for you, we would have died long ago."
The chief surgeon's urned sour. No matter what, Nordly was a colleague and friend they had been with for many years, defending their peace with her strength.
"…No matter how much water you add to a bottle of ink, it ever be clear. What's done ot be undone."
Nordly struggled, trying to lift her hand to pull out the breathing tube:
"Let me die. I should have died long ago—"
Bang!
The ICU door was kicked open heavily, and a nurse immediately shouted, "We're in the middle of surgery, outsiders 't enter—"
Before she finished, her face turned red, and a yellow-bck windbreaker fshed before her eyes, pushing her aside.
Although it was just a brief enter, the fwless, handsome face made her heart rad she became infatuated.
"How rare, I just left for three days, and now I'm an outsider?"
The handsome man spread his arms, ily said:
"Don't ynize me? Doctors. You even drew my bone marrow and blood. Such heartless bitches, tsk tsk tsk."
He seemed to have a magic presence, drawing everyone's gaze to him. Uhe gaze of his gray eyes, their hearts fluttered.
"Are you… the patient Li Aozi?"
The chief surgenized him, surprised, but then shook her head:
"Gd to see you alive, but we're in the middle of surgery, your presence will affect us—"
Bang!
Li Aozi casually tossed a box of medication, whided in her arms. The chief surgeon looked down and almost screamed at the sight of the rge characters 'Zunisidin'.
"Zunisidin—it's the miracle drug! Head Nurse Nordly, you're saved."
She quickly opehe package, prepared the medication at the optimal ratio, and administered it through an arterial iion.
Li Aozi leaned against the door, watg their movements with i.
After a series of frantic as, Nordly's vital signs gradually returo normal, her breathing steadied, and the ahetic's effects resumed as her body stabilized.
The chief surgeohed a sigh of relief. With the wound stitched, Nordly would recover in uwo hours.
She felt a deep sense of gratitude, asked a o wipe her sweat, stitched the wound, and then turned, bowing deeply to Li Aozi.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li Aozi. Without your help, Head Nurse Nordly would have needed blood dialysis, which would have caused irreversible damage to her body."
"Oh, it's nothing, it's my duty, o thank me."
Li Aozi chuckled, log the ICU door behind him as he approached.
"Please, accept ratitude. Head Nurse Nordly has saved many lives. She has alrotected our safety… in Abyss, she is uardian angel."
The chief surgeon refused to rise, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.
"Stand up," Li Aozi said, "Head Nurse Nordly is a good person, I won't deny that. You don't o thank me."
The chief surgeon, still emotional, lowered her head even more, deeply grateful:
"No! Please accept ratitude. Whatever request you have, please just say it."
"Look up."
Li Aozi impatiently said.
"I said look up, are you deaf?"
"If you don't let me thank you, I won't look up—"
Before she could finish, an icy, gunpowder-sted gun barrel was shoved into her mouth. She vaguely reized it as simir to the rge-caliber pistol the White Fang gang leader had when they ihe Abyss.
Bang.
Li Aozi pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The chief surgeon's skull exploded, blood and brain matter spttering onto the ceiling, pieces of her shattered skull hitting the nurses' smiling, grateful faces.
The chief surgeon's body k, Li Aozi lifted the saliva and blood-stained gun, disdainfully tossing it to the ground.
He didn't like such ons. Partly because he didn't know how to use them, partly because killing with guns was too quick, g sensation.
Cold ons, the heavy feeling of personally crushing life and the brilliant visual impact, were inparable to hot ons.
"I told you to look up, why argue?"
He turo the other nurses and doctors in Abyss, shrugging ily:
"Folks, wasn't she a bit too stubborn?"
Saying this, he lifted the sterile cloth off the operating table, revealing the pale-faordly. She was emaciated like a mummy, her pupils refleg Li Aozi's mad smile.
Her mouth moved, her eyes panicked:
'Stop…'
Ding—
In her desperate gaze, Li Aozi's dangled from his arm, dragging on the floor as he slowly walked toward the four Abyss doctors in the operating room.
'Spare… them…'
"So toug, Head Nurse."
Li Aozi turned, showing a sunny smile:
"Would you plead for Snow when her brain was extracted?"
Nordly's pupils shrank, past shadows surged into her mind.
In the moment, Li Aozi's shed out at the Abyss female medical staff.
"Ah!"
The whipped, breaking bones and cutting tendons.
"My leg—stop, stop! ah—"
Gravity down, suffog pressure.
"Help, help me, my neck is so heavy… ugh, Mom, Mom, I 't breathe…"
Life extra, ending lives.
"Spare me, I didn't do anything, Abyss tricked me—no, ah! What did you do to me, my skin, my face is aging, I… stop…"
Nordly watched the brutality unfold, Li Aozi repeatedly mentioning 'ZX-102', 'Snow', 'baby'. Gravely injured, she felt the world spinning, as if it were crushing her.
'Stop… stop…'
She mouthed the words, but never dared to say, 'e at me, they are i.'
If she said those hypocritical words, even the devil would ugh.
Bang!
Li Aozi's gravity twisted a female doctor's spio a knot, pulling her head from her chest, then crushing it underfoot, exploding it like a watermelon.
With a wave, he pulled a woman with broken legs crawling toward the door, her body suddenly light, crashing into his hand.
"Mom!"
She cried, tearing open her medical gown, tears ruining her face, forced a smile, pleading: "Hey, have fun with me, let me go, do whatever to them, just let me—"
Crack!
Li Aozi grabbed her colleague's spine, ed it around her neck, pierg her artery with vertebral spikes, then kicked her away.
Her blood sprayed like a broken faucet, painting the walls and operating table with crimson drops. Her face frozen in horror, her final expression one of panid fear.
The remaining two were unlucky. Li Aozi's gravity threw a nurse like a ball, smming her up and down until her ans and brain were mush, oozing from her body.
He pulled the into a spear, stabbing the st person from cvicle to hip, pinning them to the ground. Their body stiffened, motionless like a popsicle.
Li Aozi approached, slowly pulling out the , hooks dragging dismembered parts, dropping a piece of ii Nordly's feet.
"You're a good person, Head Nurse Nordly. After all, admitting mistakes and atoning for sins is rare."
Li Aozi stood at her bedside, calmly said:
"But I am not. I 't say if I'll ever be alone— but I 't bee a good person."
'Why… are you doing this…'
"I'm greedy, cold-blooded, arrogant. I've killed more people than Abyss by millions, so I don't believe in karma—otherwise, I'd be dead."
Doctor Siqi said entering the underground required Nordly and Anna's retinal s.
Li Aozi looked around.
'Why not kill me… why?'
"You're still useful to me, and since you want to atone, don't die so easily, that would be too le for your crimes—I'll cut your veins, pierce your 'qi sea', a you slowly feel the drain of life."
Li Aozi picked up a scalpel from the operating table:
"Even with all my vices, I have one redeeming quality—babies like me. Their i smiles and thoughts, with limitless futures, bring me inner healing."
"Every time I see those little babies, I realize that people should have a bottom line, and life has a noble dignity. My life shouldn't be just for profit; I should have my own bottom line and beliefs…"
He turned his head, using his hand to open Nordly's left eye, pg the bright scalpel against her eyelid:
"And my only bottom line is, don't touch babies!"
He said, stabbing the scalpel into Nordly's eyeball.
