Chapter 320 New life?
April has passed just like that, and the gears of time have quietly turned, bringing us into the embrace of May.
On the hospital bed, the blonde woman who had been found by a passerby and brought to the hospital finally opened her eyes slowly, as if Sleeping Beauty, who had been asleep for a long time, had finally been awakened. Her awakening was faster than Osborne's.
However, physical recovery is not instantaneous. Her body still seems to be in a prolonged slumber, and her muscles have not yet fully regained their vitality.
Her movements seemed somewhat sluggish, as if she were bound by an invisible force.
Her mind was in chaos, a jumble of thoughts.
On the one hand, the drowsiness caused by the prolonged period of unconsciousness made her thinking unclear; on the other hand, it was the shock brought about by Hora's behavior.
In the midst of the chaos, her memories gradually became clear. She remembered what she was supposed to do—find Kylia's whereabouts.
Although her body and consciousness were affected to some extent during the time she was possessed by Horror, she was still largely in control.
It could be said that Hora lent her his power.
In the process of getting to know Hora, the blonde woman has gained a fairly deep understanding of this human-eating tribe.
While she may not know as much about Horror as the Senate, she is definitely among the most knowledgeable about Horror compared to organizations and individuals like S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra who are investigating him.
Although the Hora didn't give her any trouble, she was now in a difficult situation.
However, although the Hora did not attack her, her current situation is indeed quite difficult.
First, Kylia's whereabouts are unknown.
Secondly, her actions toward Kalia during that period could very likely have caused Kalia to develop a fear of her (in Kalia's eyes, she was probably a monster).
Furthermore, the fact that she had been possessed by Horror made her deeply worried about the attitude of the Dog House towards her.
Finally, she also had to worry about whether other Horras would come knocking. (After all, she had been unconscious for so long, and Chuck Bode was already dead.)
The previous brutal killing of those girls went completely undetected, making it easy for the police to handle.
(After experiencing many events, George Stacy immediately guessed that the blonde woman was the murderer, but no one would believe it, especially since there was no evidence.)
Before long, the blonde woman's thoughts were interrupted by the nurse who came in.
The nurse entered the room and immediately saw that the blonde woman was already awake.
A hint of surprise flashed across her face. The nurse quickly walked to the bedside, gently settled the blonde woman, and then hurriedly turned to call the attending physician.
The attending physician also found this news somewhat strange.
After all, although the blonde woman didn't remain in a vegetative state for as long as those patients, such a long period of time should have been enough for a diagnosis to be made by now.
But today we suddenly heard the news that she has improved, which is really unexpected.
The doctor rushed to the ward and gave the blonde woman a thorough examination.
After confirming several times, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and told the blonde woman that she was fine, but had just woken up and her bodily functions had not fully recovered, so she needed some time to recuperate.
Meanwhile, the police also received news that the blonde woman had woken up.
The investigators didn't dare to delay and rushed to the hospital immediately.
After the doctor completed the examination and confirmed that the blonde woman was ready to be questioned, they immediately went into the ward.
As for what questions the police asked the blonde woman, the outside world has no way of knowing.
All I know is that they stayed in the ward for a long time, and it seemed like they had a lot to ask and understand.
Finally, quite some time had passed when the investigators left the ward.
....................................
"Damn it!"
After the police left, the blonde woman suddenly let out a low growl.
Her hands gripped the pale sheet tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Sure enough, the police did not let her go easily, especially Officer Stacy, who was in charge and pursued her relentlessly.
If... if I still had my power...
The woman pondered to herself, her gaze gradually sharpening.
However, the thought flashed through the blonde woman's mind, but she quickly shook her head violently as if she had been electrocuted, as if trying to shake the terrible idea out of her head.
She was horrified to discover that she could actually have such thoughts. It was terrifying. She didn't know when she had become so unfamiliar with herself, actually thinking about things she would never have thought about before.
But... Kalia is her only one!
The thought flashed through her mind like lightning, causing a sharp pain in her heart.
"Haha, the person is here."
Suddenly, applause and a man's loud laughter rang out in the ward.
Fortunately, the ward was a single room, and the police seemed to be taking good care of her.
The woman looked nervously in the direction from which the sound came, only to see a man and a woman standing by the window in the empty ward.
They were all dressed in black, as if they could blend into the darkness.
Moreover, their skin was sickly pale, appearing completely bloodless.
"You...you are not human!"
She stared wide-eyed at the two people in front of her.
Just moments ago, she was certain that there was no one else in the room, but now these two people had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which was extremely strange.
She couldn't think of any other explanation besides "not human".
The man and woman exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
"I understand, you are Hora."
"Still quite calm, aren't you afraid we'll eat you up?"
The white-haired man, or rather, the god-like figure, smiled and spoke in a deep voice.
"If you wanted to eat, you would have done it already. What... do you want from me?"
Shenya said, "I didn't expect that guy to let you go. That's quite strange."
The Shinya couple had only been back in New York for a short time, but they were quite adept at gathering intelligence and knew exactly what had happened.
So it decided to meet the blonde woman. After seeing her in person and talking to her, it became convinced that she was a natural-born Horror.
Her "yin self" did not decrease but increased; it also sensed the woman's desire for power and her lingering sense of insatiable longing.
"Do you still want that power, madam?"
