I have found out your real name

Chapter 115 If you become a zombie

The chaos spreading around due to the blasting of the Isokai Group had not stopped yet, but Li Wu saw an unexpected person.

Hirata Makoto ran out of the alley next to him wearing a bumpy helmet.

He took off the Isokai-gumi uniform he was wearing, changed into a jacket, put his right hand inside the clothes, looked around furtively and said urgently: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time! Come with me!"

After taking a look at [Former Blue Dream Group Employee] written above his head, Li Wu followed.

He was not surprised that the drug thief, whom he had met once, was not involved in the explosion. After all, the few minutes he spent fighting the Isokai Group should have been enough for the thief who claimed to have figured out the route to take away the stolen goods and run away.

But it did surprise him that this guy was still waiting nearby.

"What happened tonight confuses me."

Makoto Hirata was running out of breath, "But I know to some extent who the credit for getting the goods is - that being said, in fact, I will run away in half a minute. The main reason is that I am afraid that you will come to the door later, hahaha."

Perhaps because of the medicine he received, he was much more relaxed than before.

The two walked through the winding alleys of Hanaya Town and left through a narrow exit. Hirata Makoto skillfully opened the door of a tattered car and sat in the driver's seat.

"Mr. Ram taught us to always have an escape plan ready."

He proudly mentioned the name of a famous bank robber and turned off the car keys.

The vehicles merged quietly onto the road.

During this period, Lilia called and asked if the sudden explosion in Hanaya Town was related to him.

Li Wu denied it matter-of-factly.

During their conversation, Hirata Makoto always maintained an attitude of focusing on driving. When Li Wu hung up the phone, he hesitated to speak: "There is something that needs to be explained first. I only had time to take one." medicine."

He looked at Li Wu's face in the rearview mirror and continued: "I don't know what your purpose is in coming to the Isumi Group tonight. I will keep it secret, but I really need this thing."

He pulled out his right hand that was tucked inside, revealing a test tube containing blue liquid.

"I won't run away. If you want me to commit a crime or sell my organ, I can, but please let me keep it..."

"My goal is not money."

Li Wu interrupted him, "Didn't you say you once worked for Blue Dream Group? I'm very interested in it."

Now that the Isokai Group has been razed to the ground, he can only follow this clue to find it.

"Are you interested in this shit company?" the temporary driver swore, "I'm sorry. I mean, I don't know much..."

According to Hirata Makoto, when he was in office, Blue Dream Group did not have the name it has today.

At that time, the company was called "Weilan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." It focused on medical technology and drug research and development, and its reputation was surprisingly unknown. At least Li Wu had never heard of this company.

Makoto Hirata's position is just that of an ordinary security guard. He only knows that although his employer's business has been in a state of sluggishness, his salary has been paid in full, and he even provides free medical services to employees and their families.

It was precisely for this reason that he realized that the company's technology was not simple.

"A relative of mine was seriously ill, and the company cured him."

he said lightly.

About five years ago, Azure Pharmaceuticals collapsed due to a laboratory accident. When it was relisted, it had abandoned its old assets and transformed into the current Blue Dream Media Technology Group.

"A pharmaceutical company is delving into AI and media entertainment?"

Li Wu asked back.

"To be honest, I think it fits the style of that company. Everything is messy."

Hirata Makoto turned the steering wheel, "I heard gossip at that time that the company was going to develop a potion that would turn people into supermen. Maybe they were using the name change as a cover to facilitate their mad scientists' research!"

He thought he had told a good joke and laughed a few times, but after experiencing the battle in the Isumi Group, Li Wu didn't think it was just a joke.

The vehicle stopped in front of a two-story apartment building that looked ramshackle and was laid out like a motel.

As soon as the engine was turned off, someone knocked on the car window: "Uncle, why are you back so late?"

"Why did you come out? Go back!"

Hirata Makoto scolded, but at this time Li Wu had already opened the door and got out of the car.

He looked at Yui Hirata, who was wrapped in bandages and had blue skin.

"What do you mean by that? It's a coincidence."

In the cramped room, Hirata Makoto's voice came from the kitchen accompanied by the smell of oil smoke, "I really didn't expect you two to know each other!"

The long living room only has room for a low coffee table, placed on a dark brown carpet. Sitting opposite, Yui Hirata stretched out her hand to roll a reagent tube filled with blue liquid.

"Really, uncle did this again."

she whispered.

"Do you need to take this medication?"

Li Wu put forward his own guess.

The zombie girl in front of her looked completely different from how she looked on the stage during the day. Her skin was a corpse-like blue-black color, one eye was wrapped in a bandage, and there were even traces of sutures on her neck.

She shook her head: "No need! Ah, if you are looking at this eye, it needs to be cleaned temporarily. I soaked it."

Hirata Yui calmly said something that could be used as a line in a horror movie, and also denied his speculation.

She glanced at the kitchen, a little depressed: "The boss said that even if ordinary people see me like this, they won't think that I am dead. This is the case with my uncle."

"At first, they would be so scared that they would faint and forget about me until the next time they saw me. Then they thought I had sequelae such as skin disease and anorexia, and they tried every means to use various drugs. Come 'cure' me."

Is this also part of [daily] correction of cognition?

"You mean sequelae?" Li Wu noticed the word, "Your uncle said before that one of his relatives had received treatment from the company, which meant..."

Hirata Yui nodded, but his head fell off.

She groped around on the coffee table in a hurry, and Li Wu picked up the head that had rolled to the edge and handed it to her.

"Thank you, I usually fix it during the day to prevent it from falling..."

In the headless state, Hirata Yui held her head and put it back into her neck, "Hey, are you leaving?"

"It's you who pretended to be wrong!"

Li Wu complained.

Before Makoto Hirata came out of the kitchen with the food, she finally returned her head to its original position.

During this period, Li Wu listened to her tell the story of his "lifetime".

Yui Hirata's parents died unexpectedly shortly after she was born, so she was raised by her uncle since she was a child.

But maybe she really had a bad life. She lost her parents when she was young, and was later diagnosed with some kind of terminal disease that is difficult to treat.

At that time, Makoto Hirata was still an ordinary white-collar worker, and the high medical expenses quickly emptied his small family fortune.

The Azure Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. that he joined later claimed that the medical benefits it provided to its employees free of charge were like the spider's thread that Buddha dropped to Gandado, and became a life-saving straw for him in desperate moments.

Until he was frightened and fainted by his niece who was lying on the hospital bed greeting him with her internal organs exposed and not sutured in time, with an eyeball hanging from her eye socket.

"What did they do to you?"

When hearing this paragraph, Li Wu couldn't help but interrupt her narrative.

Hirata dazedly touched the back of Li Wu's head - she had not yet turned her head back - and said: "I don't remember either. It became like this after I fainted. But my illness is also It did heal, so it’s okay? They did deliver on their promise.”

She giggled a few times.

Your optimism goes too far.

Li Wu originally wanted to say this, but he still swallowed it.

For a girl who is tortured by the disease and destined not to live long, the current state between life and death may be acceptable.

However, Li Wu had a certain sense of déjà vu from Weilan Pharmaceutical's mischievous and crazy style of doing things that actually kept its promise and also carried out weird human body modifications.

"Click, click, click...Um, Mr. Li Wu? Mr. Li Wu? Mr. Li? Can you help me?"

Yui Hirata leaned sideways on the coffee table like a prisoner being pushed to the beheading table, trying hard to torture his neck.

"..."

Li Wu held the top of her head and twisted it clockwise.

So when Hirata Makoto walked out of the kitchen and wiped his hands, what he saw was his niece whose head was strangely tilted to the side, as if she had a stiff neck.

At this point in time, eating was basically a midnight snack, so Yui Hirata used the excuse that she had already had dinner to avoid eating undigestible food.

"I'm very happy!"

The middle-aged man crushed the empty beer can in his hand, lay down among the leftovers on the coffee table, and hammered the tabletop covered with a layer of plastic film.

"Xiao Wei has become an idol now! Being called otaku, right? Being sought after by otakus!"

"Uncle, what are you talking about!"

Hirata Yui waved her hands in panic, and there was an obviously unnatural sound coming from her right arm, which fell softly. Fortunately, her uncle could not see this scene.

"Wow wow wow wow!" She straightened it with a sad face, "I shouldn't have taken off the splint at night..."

Zombies are amazing.

Just as Li Wu, who was watching the excitement, was thinking this, Makoto Hirata, who was already a little drunk, pointed the finger at him: "Brother, are you right? Is Xiao Wei the most popular among the three of them?"

"It should be said that all three of them have received enthusiastic support from everyone. There were fans fighting for each other at today's concert (physics)."

Hirata Yui burst into laughter.

"Neutral answers are meaningless! My words are my favorite... Thinking about it carefully, the girl with long black hair is the prettiest. What valley is she from?"

"uncle--"

Hirata Yui stared at him with a terrifying smile, "You rebelled too quickly."

Being frightened by her, Hirata Makoto sobered up a lot: "By the way, Xiao Wei, remember to use that medicine! I've asked about it. Just take it orally. It should be helpful to your condition."

Hirata Yui was silent for a while, then stood up and shouted excitedly to her uncle: "Please don't do this kind of thing again!"

She ran to the bathroom and took out a glass.

An eyeball was dripping inside, and the optic nerve was floating left and right as the water sloshed.

The zombie girl removed the bandage on her left eye, revealing her empty eye socket: "This is not a skin disease! It's not a sequelae! This is how I exist now!"

"Stop looking for those weird medicines! Last time you almost committed a crime for money. If the car hadn't broken down, you would have turned into a robber! Although I don't know what you did this time, but It must be dangerous too!”

Hirata Makoto opened his slightly red eyes and focused on the terrifying hole, as if his entire soul fell in from the middle.

He slipped off the chair next to the coffee table and knelt down on the dirty brown carpet like a child who had done something wrong, pulling at his face with his hands.

"I'm sorry, brother! It's all my fault!"

He howled and cried like crazy, "Too much blood! The contents inside flowed out. I wanted to stop it! I wanted to stop it! She was still smiling at me!"

When Li Wu was sent out of the house by Hirata Yui, it was already after the collapsed Hirata Makoto fainted.

"Is your uncle supposed to be okay?"

When he was leaving, he asked.

Hirata Yui, who had reinstalled both eyes, nodded sadly: "Actually, I told my uncle before, but it won't be long before he forgets about it."

"To him, a moving corpse is a monster that should only exist in horror movies. So when he wakes up, he will still feel that I only cured the disease but left some sequelae."

Li Wu didn't know what to say for a while.

So far, ordinary people cannot understand and remember the law of supernatural power that seems to be engraved on the bottom of the world. He has only regarded it as a law similar to universal gravity.

Moreover, in past events, this law has generally played a positive role. It erased extraordinary events from the public consciousness or distorted them into another form, maintaining the stability of the superficial society.

But today, for the first time, he saw its negative effects in some sense.

After waking up, Makoto Hirata will bury the scene he saw that brought a strong psychological shadow to him in the corner of his subconscious until the next stimulation comes, and then continue to run in vain to cure his niece's "sequelae" .

It's like there is a barrier between humans and zombies that prevents the two from understanding each other.

Perhaps sensing something different in his expression, Hirata Yui waved her repaired right hand: "Don't worry! I've actually thought of a good solution! Today was just a moment of excitement, it's my fault!"

In order to cooperate with her, Li Wu followed her words and asked: "What can I do?"

"As long as I become the most powerful idol and make a lot of money, that's it!"

She scratched her blue-black cheek and said with some embarrassment, "It's just what I said during the day. Uncle, isn't he worried about skin diseases and other issues? If I put on makeup, I am welcomed by everyone, and I also like myself Once he has earned the money to buy any medicine, he probably won’t have to worry about it, right?”

The zombie idol put his hands behind his back and showed a smile that could be put into the "Resident Evil ○" series: "This is my dream. If I want to say it, I might also be grateful for turning me into this kind of person, rather than dying." There will be nothing after that, so it’s better now, right?”

"… I hope your dreams come true."

Li Wu sincerely blessed, "Then, I want to ask you something."

A few minutes later, after getting the answer, Li Wu left the apartment where they lived.
