《crime-free murder》survivor (1)
Advertisement
Such patients usually experience or witness extremely frightening events, or after severe trauma, they may show emotional numbness and slow response, and they will be in panic for a long time. Uncontrollable constant recall of trauma-related situations and content. Serious cases can lead to depression and even suicidal tendencies.
Ding Qian was suddenly a little curious about what a terrible thing this woman had experienced before she became like this. "is she the second victim?" Ding Qian asked. Guo Rongrong did not elaborate on the survivor, just driving Ding Qian to the hospital first.
"yes."
"and her face?"
"you can probably guess. You can see for yourself when the nurse changes the gauze." The woman looked at them with dull eyes, unaware that they were talking about her.
What a terrible thing happened to this woman? Ding Qian sat in the ward with doubts. Guo Rongrong took a handbag from the car before she came to the ward. She didn't know what was in it.
Now she poured out the contents of her handbag on the bed, which turned out to be a pile of snacks, dried tofu, chicken collarbone, duck neck, and a gossip magazine by Lee Min-ho. When the woman on the bed saw these things, her eyes widened immediately. She had so many bandages on her head that it was difficult to eat, but she still couldn't wait to take the duck neck handed over by Guo Rongrong and take a piece out of the bag and gnaw it.
Ding Qian could not help feeling that sure enough, women are all the same creature, even if it is the end of the world, with these things, they can also spend the day happily.
At this time, the ward door was pushed open, and two nurses pushed a cart into the ward to change the gauze and medicine for the patients. when they saw the scene in the room, they almost freaked out, and the fat nurse said in a fierce voice, "who are you? how can you give patients this kind of junk food!"

The woman was sucking a chicken collarbone and was so frightened that she sat there with half of the bones in her mouth.
Guo Rongrong hastened to explain that the two nurses were relieved and said nothing.
As the woman had too much gauze wrapped around her head, it took two people to finish it. The two nurses worked together, peeling the gauze off the woman's face carefully with tweezers, and had to hold the woman's hand from time to time to prevent her from scratching her face.
When the gauze on the woman's face was completely removed, Ding Qian and Guo Rongrong stopped breathing instantly.
Is this still a human face?
Except for the eyes and half of the face just exposed, the rest of the face could not be seen. It was just pieces of red meat glued to the bones, and there were scabs solidified by blood and potions on the minced meats. As the gauze was torn away, fresh blood was shed from the new wounds, and the other minced meat twitched violently, gathering together like living creatures, making people clearly feel the pain of women.
There was a "ho-ho" sound in her throat again, which was the only way she could express it now.
"how did she get the wound on her face?" Ding Qian asked.
"like the first victim, he was bitten like this by his teeth."
"this is the result of our forensic examination, and there can be no mistake. Judging from the bite marks, they are human teeth. And this is the only wound from head to toe and all over her body. Now, there are two cases of chewing on the face, both of which happened here. Do you still think it was an accident? "
"..." Ding Qian was silent. It was really beyond his expectation. He has never encountered such a case. No wonder the police suspect zombies. Now even Ding Qian himself is a little confused.

"she and the first victim were both single women, and the area where she was attacked was the face. There was a difference of three months before and after the two cases. you suspect it was the same attacker?"
"Yes. It looks like a serial crime, but we can't determine the identity and cause of the killer. Although there have been similar face-gnawing cases in the United States, we do not have the details of that case. You said that the killer took a large amount of drugs and led to madness. In fact, we are not sure whether this is the case. You are a psychiatrist. Are you familiar with this drug? "
"pretty much, I've treated three patients with insanity caused by taking this drug."
"really?" Guo Rongrong was slightly surprised.
"the anesthetic 'bath salt', also known as' zombie bath salt', does drive some people crazy, but as I said, there is no actual clinical manifestation to show that taking this drug is bound to bite someone's face. Of the three patients I have come into contact with, the first one tried to jump off a building with his girlfriend in his arms when he got sick, the second one not only bit but also grabbed anything he caught and attacked the person around him, and the third one was the most like the face gnaver you described. He went crazy to bite people only with his teeth, but not his face, but like a mad dog.
"you mean you suspect that the attacker went crazy after taking bath salt?"

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
