"Where's my bag? Where's my bag?" I looked around.
Nick also started watching. The paramedic retreated into the corner, but his shoulders began to relax a little. Nick found my bag and threw it to me. I opened the box and turned the contents upside down on my knees. I picked up the amber medicine bottle that Bruce Deman gave me before.
"What are those?" the medical staff asked, suspicious again.
I threw the bottle to Nick. "Open them for me."
He agreed.
"You can't eat these," the paramedic said, "what are these?"
"How many?" Nick asked
"I don't remember," I said to the paramedic. I said to Nick: "I don't know. Some?"
Nick gave me three pills.
Damn, I drank all the water. I swallowed the three pills into my mouth. I covered my mouth with my hand, blocked their mouths, and choked them back again. I must look like a lunatic. At least that was the look on the face of the paramedic. What I couldn't swallow disappeared in my mouth, leaving a bitter aftertaste.
"Stop!" Spit it out," the paramedic rushed towards me. Nick jumped between us. His right hand pushed back the paramedic's chest.
The paramedic began to angrily said, "What are those? What is going on? This is unacceptable -" He tried to grab the medicine bottle from Nick's other hand, and the ambulance turned sharply to the left. The force of the turning overturned both of them to the ground, pressing on me.
"Are you okay behind?" the driver shouted.
"Okay," Toro said. "Let's start from the beginning. Before we start, are you hungry? Do you look hungry?"
"No, I'm not hungry," Bruce said.
"Thirsty?"
"No."
"I told you not to deal with the Baku people anymore. I painfully expressed this very clearly."
"I didn't go to him. He came to me," Danman said.
"Oh? He came to you?" Toro's eyes lit up. He raised his fist triumphantly. "I knew it. I knew you didn't go to him. I can't tell you, it makes me feel much better about the whole situation."
Bruce sighed.
"What does he want?"
"The girl came to him in trouble. He thought it was a simple nightmare elimination procedure, but when he entered her dream, he found an abnormality. This abnormality exists in her brain, her physical brain. He took She brought it to me and asked me to help scan her brain, which is what we did in Denman. The brain scan." Bruce opened his hands, like this.
"What kind of anomaly?"
"She has more brain tissue than normal people. There is a specific area in her brain."
"Interesting. It must be very attractive to you," Toro said.
"Yes. Yes," Bruce said.
Toro stood up and walked around the bed to the window. He looked out the window through the plastic blinds. Put one hand behind your back, and put the other hand gently on a plastic shutter.
"Why under the cover of night?"
"Say it again?" Danman asked.
"It all seems so gentle. If I ignore the fact that you have not been the kind of person who will help others for a long time," Toro turned to face Deman. He waved his hand in the air and made an exaggerated circle. "So, I turned my gaze to the past, but even if I ignore this, all this seems too mean. Why is it so mean, Bruce?"
"Time is tight for this matter. The girl's physical condition is unstable, and it is very likely that she will die from this condition."
Toro smiled and sniffed. He blew a gust of wind towards him and took a deep breath, as if tasting the aroma of a bottle of fine wine. "I smell ーーwhat did I smell? The marginal dishonesty. Not entirely true. There is a smell in you, Bruce."
Bruce cut his eye while drinking Toro. "I'm answering your question. I'm telling the truth."
"It may be so, but you missed something, something that you think is important. I must admit. I have become more and more irritable, rather than more and more interested."
Toro slowly strode back to the hospital bed, moving towards the bed like a cobra.
"Paul said you used someone else's key card."
Bruce said nothing.
"What's weird about this, Bruce?" Toro leaned over.
"Excess brain tissue"
"A tumor?"
"No."
"What do you think is the extra brain tissue?"
Bruce stopped eye contact and looked down into the distance. Toro's eyes flashed black. If he has pupils, Bruce can't tell. Toro's eyes are black.
"The extra brain tissue is important to Bruce Danman, because? Why, Bruce?"
Bruce coughed.
Toro waited.
"She seems to have two consciousnesses. Part of herself and another person."
"It's so interesting," Toro said. ""What do you mean by consciousness? What do you mean by that word, Bruce?"
"You know what that word I mean," Bruce looked back at Toro, provocative and angry. It's not like a person lying in a hospital, too weak to move, not like a person sitting under the ferocious black eyes of the demon Lucius from hell. "I found it. I know where it is. I found it. The place of the soul."
Toro sat beside Bruce’s bed, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed the call: "The second ambulance from Dan Manos intercepted it. Deal with its contents."
Toro hung up the phone. Something on the nail of the thumb caught his eyes, and he wiped it with his index finger. He put the phone on the bedside table.
"I'm proud," the Bull said for a long time. His nails distracted him, and he took a nail file with a golden handle from his chest pocket. He slid down the shiny gold jacket, which not only protected the documents, but also his well-made suit jacket.
"This is a gift," he said, pointing to the nail file. The canned fluorescent light made it sparkle. He began to file his nails. ""what would you like? Of course, this work is well done. You ask how proud I am?"
Although Bruce didn't ask.
"I'm proud of you, Bruce. You have grown into this kind of person. You have become the kind of person I always thought you could be. I can hear the gratitude in your voice. Thank you for being me. Everything you do. Your gratitude makes me humble. I am honored to work with you. Side by side. I am more proud than I should be, but you are a good person, cunning and ruthless. I respect yours This. We have more similarities than differences."
"You killed my parents," Bruce said.
Toro paused.
"I didn't kill your parents. A man named Terence Brown killed your parents, a terrible hapless."
"You paid him."
"He chose to do this. Money is money. It has no meaning in this world, and it has no meaning in another world. Choice is the most important thing. Choice is the real money in life, Terence Brown He chose to close his eyes. He chose to let his 18,000-ton semi-trailer cross the centerline of the highway at a speed of sixty miles per hour, crushing the pickup that your parents drove. Terence. Brown is paying the price for his choice. In fact, as we speak, he is paying. Do you feel comforted to know this? He is in pain. Do you feel comforted to watch him die?"
"I was just a kid," Bruce said.
"Not only. Never. You are a smart kid. I knew it was you. The special one. No one is as smart or brave as him. Many people are equally arrogant, but even in arrogance, you have a kind of Special quality."
"Other people? What other people?"
"There will always be someone else, Bruce. Plan B. Plan C. Plan D. Wait."
"Where's Sara?" Bruce needs to know.
"Bruce, since you think you know where the soul is, what are you going to do now?"
"Have you killed Sarah too?"
"I told you that I didn't kill your parents."
"Semantics. Tell me one thing. Only one thing. Did she sleep with Adam Beaumont?"
""No, she has been loyal to you until the very last moment. We even strengthened him to make him more attractive to her, but she still rejected him. This should soothe your self-esteem, right?" Toro said. He looked at Bruce kindly, as if he were a sad and lost little boy. "She has been dead for so long. It's a pity that you still care about details so much. "
A roar filled Bruce's head. It sounds like a freight train, but it's not. It's guilt. For many years, he has been thinking about the worst possible thing about the most beautiful and charming woman he knows. I have been thinking about why for many years. Have hated her for many years. She never betrayed him. He betrayed her.
At that moment, he wished he would die. combustion. explode. With so much pressure on his head and chest, he would definitely explode.
"Where is Dr. Harvey?" Bruce said.
"He didn't sleep with Adam Beaumont either."
"Everyone I love. Everyone."
Unfortunately. All of this, but it must be completed in order for you to come to this day. "
""where is it? Where am I today?" Bruce asked.
"You are where you should be. Listen, Bruce, in the end you are still human. I understand. Human beings are self-centered, self-centered, and take everything to their hearts. Harvey, your parents , Sarah, wait, all of this is not intended for you, although I believe it is for you. This is just the most effective way to get you here from there. It’s like that terrible and boring stone throwing game Once the stone is on the ice, it cannot be touched directly. The player must sweep the ice around the stone and exert influence to get the stone and follow the correct path to reach the correct destination."
The phone rang, and Toro pressed the button to speak the phone.
"The ambulance has arrived, sir, but there is no one in the car except for an injured paramedic and driver." (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
