The girl did not move. She waited until the military doctor persuaded her several times before she stretched out her trembling hands and began to put the building blocks together.
Ilov knew this. Sandplay therapy is a very popular psychotherapy method internationally and is widely used in psychological education and psychotherapy.
Because it does not require verbal expression, it can project the patient's inner world from the scene in the sandplay.
But inner feelings cannot be expressed in words, and this comes in handy.
While the other person was putting together building blocks, Ilov saw the valuable camera on the bedside table.
He walked over, but when he opened the storage slot, he found that the memory card inside had already been taken away.
Ilov put the camera down thoughtfully. "Mr. Ilov, please look."
When he turned around, he found that the girl had put together a long strip of bright red and light red building blocks, and was still putting more blocks together.
When branches began to appear on the long strip, he immediately realized what the other party was going to build. She was building the giant tree of flesh and blood in his dream!
Excited, Ilov rushed over quickly, grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her continuously, "Have you seen this tree? Where did you see it? When?!"
"Mr. Ilov, please calm down! She has a speech disorder and cannot answer your questions for the time being."
After seeing Olivia holding her head in pain and starting to bleed from her nose, Ilov suddenly let go of him.
"Has this woman seen that tree? Is that tree real?"
When Ilov recalled the power of the tree in his dream, his body trembled involuntarily.
He felt his arteries pounding wildly on both sides of his temples like two huge hammers, and the air exhaled from his chest seemed to be the sound of wind in a cave.
Ilov used all his strength to take out his cell phone from his pocket and started dialing the first line in the address book.
"Hello? Jackal, what's the matter?" A tired woman's voice came from inside.
Ilov, with veins popping out on his forehead, shouted into the phone: "The 422 incident is definitely not as simple as a fight between two B-level anomalies!! Report to the headquarters immediately!! The security level here has reached the highest level of annihilation!! Notify everyone above immediately! This concerns the safety of all mankind!"
Ilov's tone not only frightened the person on the phone, but also frightened the other people in the ward. The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet.
Three seconds later, the phone rang again, "Jackal?? Do you know what you are saying? Do you know the consequences of what you said?"
"I joined the IMF earlier than you! Of course I know what you mean! Now! Immediately!! Go and notify me!!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone with an extremely grim expression and said to his subordinates: "Raj, notify everyone who remains at the scene! Leave as quickly as possible! Evacuate within 50 kilometers!"
"Captain, why is this—"
“Go now!!”
"yes!!"
The silence at five in the morning was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps and car engines, and all the IMF on-site staff were pulled out.
No one knew why, but since it was an order from their superiors, they obeyed it immediately.
Standing outside the isolation fence, Ilov put his fingernails in his mouth and bit them hard, staring at the topless mountain in the distance without blinking. The tremendous mental pressure almost tore his sanity apart.
If the tree in his dream really existed and was as powerful as that, then all of humanity would face it as a life-and-death test.
At this moment, he felt that the mountain in the distance had become the stump of the giant tree. As long as it wanted, it could tear the entire earth apart and drill out from it at any time.
"No, I can't stand it anymore. I have to do something. Raj, I'll go in and call."
Ilov got into an off-road vehicle, quickly shifted to the highest gear, and rushed towards there without hesitation like a firefighter rushing into a sea of fire.
But in Ilov's eyes, it looked completely different. The huge tree of flesh and blood seemed to be able to emerge from anywhere.
He concentrated his attention and began to search inch by inch for clues to the existence of the giant tree of flesh and blood.
Since the girl saw the giant tree here, the tree must exist.
At this time, the sun was rising slowly, and warm sunlight shone in from above, but Ilov did not feel any warmth at this time. He even felt that the colors around him were getting darker.
Ilov lay on the ground and kept searching. For the safety of all mankind, he had already put his own safety aside.
The search lasted two days and two nights. He didn't dare let other people outside get involved because they were all novices and had no experience in dealing with this level of danger.
When the sun appeared in the sky again on the third day, Ilov had already checked the entire periphery, leaving only the lake water.
With a plop, Ilov jumped into the disgusting rotten broth. This time he finally made a discovery.
When he accidentally pushed aside the minced meat that had rotted into green flocs, he saw something floating in the lake under the sunlight.
It was a branch, a branch made of flesh and blood. For some reason, the first time Ilov saw it, he judged that this thing had fallen from the giant flesh and blood tree.
"Boom, boom" His heart was beating very fast at this moment. All these days of hard work were for this day.
As long as they have this thing, maybe the headquarters can find a way to restrain the giant tree from its body. No matter how powerful something is, as long as it can be observed, it can be defeated! He always believed.
Ilov quickly took off his coat and slowly pulled it up from under the branch, trying to lift it out of the water.
But the next second, an unexpected scene appeared. The tentacle went straight through the coat that was dragged out of the water and stayed there.
The water dripping from the coat hit the branch, causing it to shake continuously. The branch looked as if it was not a solid entity, but a reflection in the water.
Anxious, Ilov looked around, then quickly climbed out of the lake and found a transparent plastic box about one meter square.
He jumped back into the lake, lifted the box up from the bottom, and carefully used the box to cover the reflection in the water.
Ilov didn't know if this would work, this was all he could do now.
"Jackal! What are you doing!" The anxious voice made Ilov look up suddenly, and he found that the lakeside was full of people at some point.
When he saw the face of his companion who had been with him day and night, he suddenly felt at peace.
"It's no use for you to come here alone! Hurry up and get the Anomaly Containment Team here. This thing might be difficult to contain."
"Abnormal? Where?"
"Are you blind? What's in the box in the water is nothing but a flesh and blood branch."
The woman on the shore looked at her companion in the water with a complicated expression.
His eyes were red and full of paranoia, his face was extremely haggard, his upper body was naked, and he was soaking in the foul-smelling rotten meat soup. He looked more like a hungry ghost than a human.
"Jackal, there's nothing in the box in the water. Are you really okay now?"
