In the corridor, Ritana hummed a song and walked lightly in the base like a princess patrolling her country.
This was her happiest time.
Children who had surgery did not need to wake up at night, but Ritana and Ye Ye were the only two children in the base who had not had surgery.
Splitting pontine surgery was originally used to treat scabies, but Dr. Herzog improved it. This surgery cut off the nerves connecting the left and right halves of the brain. After the surgery, the two halves of the brain worked independently but could not be connected.
Dr. Herzog had done an experiment. He put a picture of sex in front of a patient who had undergone amputation, covered his left eye, and asked him what was in the picture. He couldn't say anything. However, his intuition told him that something immoral was going on. Because the right eye was connected to the left brain, and the left brain was responsible for ethical judgment, the left brain that controlled desire had no idea what was going on.
The chalk on the walls on both sides fell off. There was only one white light every few dozen meters. These old light bulbs sizzled and flickered like will-o'-the-wisps. Each light could only illuminate a small section of the corridor. It was pitch black between the two lights, and the black and white lights alternated to the distance.
But Ritana was not afraid. She grew up here. Tonight, she was wearing a white cotton nightdress and holding her favorite doll, Zorro.
This was a very valuable gift in the Black Swan Base. The icebreaker " Vladimir " only came once a year, so such a gift was very precious.
On the right side of the corridor was a thick wall, and on the left side were small rooms. There were a total of 38 rooms, and the iron gates were painted with white numbers. From No. 1 to No. 38, a child lived in each room. There were a total of 38 children. Renata was number 38, the last one.
Ye Ye was number 9 and lived in room 9. Whenever the nurses were not patrolling at noon, Ritana liked to go to Ye Ye's room and watch him sleep soundly.
Ye Ye's sleeping appearance was very different from when he was awake. When he was awake, Ye Ye was always cold, but when Ye Ye was asleep, there was always a smile on his lips, as if he had dreamed of something worth being happy about.
Ritana came to Ye Ye's room and tiptoed slightly, looking inside through the vent on the door.
A pair of golden eyes that were as dazzling as a gas lamp.
It was cold, but it also made Ritana feel warm.
"Step back a little." Ye Ye said.
Ritana nodded blankly and took a few steps back.
Ritana's eyes widened as she saw an unbelievable scene.
The door slowly cracked open and a big hole appeared. Ye Ye crawled out from inside and then the big hole closed as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go to Room Zero." Ye Ye said," Let's go, Little Ritana.”
"Yes." Ritana nodded. Ye Ye had never called her that intimately before, which made her overjoyed.
Ritana had a secret in her heart that even Ye Ye did not know. It was a black snake.
Ritana still remembered the first time Black Snake appeared. That night, Ritana had made a mistake and was being grounded. She leaned against the cold iron door and sobbed, saying "Mom" hoarsely. That was the time she cried the most. The nurses shouted through the iron door,"Cry!" It would be quiet if she cried herself hoarse! So she burst into tears, wanting to call the whole world to save her. She cried until late into the night, until she could no longer make a sound, but no one came.
The moonlight shone in through the small window, shining on her thin white cotton nightdress and her thin and almost transparent calves.
That night, Ritana understood something. The kind of person who wanted to call the world for help was precisely the kind of person who no one in the world would save.
For the first time, she thought that perhaps she could die.
At this moment, the entire building shook violently, as if countless metals were clattering. A huge figure that looked like a black river swam across the corridor, its golden eyes as bright as candles. The black snake came, bringing with it a strong gust of wind. The purplish-green electric current stuck between its scales and the iron door. The scales on its body opened and closed like a happy castanet. It glanced at Ritana as it swam past the confinement room, and its huge tail whipped the iron door fiercely.
The door opened, and Ritana ran out, staring blankly at its huge back.
Was it here to…save her?
"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will come out to bewitch the kingdoms in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for battle. Their numbers are as many as the sand in the sea." It was as if a hundred million demons were singing in unison.
Ritana sat in the darkness at the end of the corridor, covering her face and crying. She was not frightened but happy. It turned out that there were people in this world who would come to save her. It turned out that there were people in this world who could hear her voice. It turned out that she was not so lonely that she did not have any of her own kind.
There must be someone born for you somewhere in this world. When you stand at the end of the cliff, don't lose hope. You have to hold on for one more second, waiting for that person to appear in front of you like a gust of wind. You will ride on his horse, even if he is a demon imprisoned by God for a thousand years.
They stopped. They were at the end of the road. There was a lonely iron gate with a huge " Zero " written in scarlet paint.
After crossing the forbidden sign, the iron door was rusted and mottled, and there was a large lock hanging on it. Ye Ye gently touched the big lock. Although the iron door was locked by the big lock, Ye Ye had many ways to open the iron door.
However, the lock suddenly bounced open with a bang and fell straight down! If such a heavy lock fell to the ground, it would definitely alarm the nurses upstairs. If that happened, Ritana and Ye Ye would be finished! So Ritana rushed over to catch the lock.
Just like that, she pushed open the door of Room Zero. The room was dark and empty, and a faint smell of decay assaulted his senses.
The white curtains slowly rose and fell, stained with some kind of black stain. The light from the searchlight shone through the gaps of the wooden planks. On the left hand was a row of iron frames, filled with glass medicine bottles. On the right hand was a cast iron operating table covered with yellow rust spots.
Ritana suddenly realized that the stain on the curtain was blood. This was an operating room. It was not strange to see blood in the operating theater, but she shuddered. Rather than calling the operating theater…it was more like a meat factory.
At this moment, Ye Ye heard the faint sound of breathing. In the dark corner where the light could not reach, there was something that looked like a bed. On it lay a pale human figure. That person was wearing a straitjacket. The clothes were made of tough white linen, and there were more than a dozen wide belts sewn all over the body.
If the children were particularly rowdy, the nurse would put them in straitjackets. Ritana had also worn it once. After the belt was buckled, she could only lie stiffly on her back. Her entire body was like a cocoon trapped in a cocoon. It was difficult to even twist her neck. It was more uncomfortable than death.
Ritana felt that detention was more enjoyable than wearing a straitjacket.
Ye Ye slowly approached.
This time, those who followed Ye Ye could see it even more clearly. There was not a bed in the corner, but a cast iron recliner. It was only wide enough for a person to lie down, and there were many holes on the top and bottom to secure the straps on the straitjacket.
"How pitiful." Ritana whispered.
Ye Ye was silent. He looked at the girl in front of him. She was sleeping soundly and sweetly. He did not know how she slept soundly in such an environment.
There was nothing she could do to help the girl. She only saw that her lips were a little dry, so she went to the water pipe to get a small handful of water and dripped it on the girl's lips through the wire mask. After the water seeped in, the girl's lips regained their color slightly. Ritana was a little happy.
Ye Ye watched all of this silently. For some reason, his heart ached and a familiar feeling flashed across his mind.
She picked up Zorro and walked to the door, beside Ye Ye. At this moment, someone behind him said,"Don't be in a hurry to leave. Ye Ye and Ritana."”
The girl in the straitjacket woke up. Her black eyes were extremely lively, and there was a wonderful feeling of water ripples rising and falling in the depths of her pupils. She stared at Ye Ye and Ritana and smiled silently.
