Moupi (Part 2)

4. Peel the eagle

After about half an hour of touching it, Nelson felt something was wrong. From the view from the window, the taxi did not drive to the airport, but towards the remote mountainous area. Nelson felt bad, and he yelled and told the driver to stop quickly. But the driver ignored it and still clutched the steering wheel. Just as Nelson pulled out his cell phone and prepared to call the police, the taxi jumped into a forest of black pines and suddenly stopped.

Immediately after, two big men rushed over and pulled the car door, dragging Nelson out of the car. Ten minutes later, Nelson was escorted into a villa and taken to a room filled with potions and instruments.

In the room sat two men, one fat and one thin. Nelson recognized the fat man at first sight as Brown, the owner of the Orsay Gallery. The thin man wore a pair of glasses and a white coat and looked like a doctor.

At the sight of Brown, Nelson immediately shouted, "Mr. Brown, why did you kidnap me!" ”

Brown didn't answer, and he ordered Nelson's clothes to be stripped naked. The thin man then took a magnifying glass and examined Nelson's back carefully. After kneading the tattoo for a while, he said to Brown, "It's intact, you can get the skin now." ”

Almost stunned when he heard this, Nelson stared at Brown and stammered, "You, you want to skin me, steal, steal Eagle?" ”

Brown patted Nelson on the shoulder and smiled, "We originally signed a sale and purchase contract, and now we are doing as agreed." ”

Nelson argued: "That contract has been cancelled and I will never sell tattoos on my back!" ”

Brown skimmed his lips and said, "You can't do that!" With that, he waved his hand, and the two big men immediately set up Nelson and pushed him down on the operating table. Then he fixed his limbs firmly, unable to move at all.

Nelson was horrified and shouted desperately, "Brown, it's against the law for you to do this, and I'm going to sue you!" ”

Brown sneered, "Unfortunately, you don't have such a chance." Tomorrow, Nelson will die in an accidental car accident... Thankfully, he had sold the Eagle on his back to the Orsay Gallery, and the tattoo masterpiece had survived for centuries. ”

Nelson was so frightened that his crotch was wet, and he cried and pleaded, "Mr. Brown, don't do this, please, spare me!" ”

Brown touched Nelson's head and encouraged, "Boy, be strong, in order to make Eagle perfect, we plan not to use anesthesia when we will take the skin." ”

Hearing this, Nelson let out a mournful wail. Brown continued his enlightenment, telling Nelson that tattoos also have a shelf life because the skin ages. Nielsen is now in his twenties, and it's the perfect time to cut Off The Eagle. Just as the thin man finished disinfecting and raised nelson's dangling scalpel, the door suddenly slammed open and several armed policemen rushed in like lightning. Brown and the thin man were stunned, they really couldn't understand, the kidnapping plan was so elaborate, why would the police fall from the sky?

Nelson asked the same question. The police have uncovered the mystery: half an hour ago, someone called the police station to report that Brown had bought the hotel waiter, kidnapped Nelson with a fake taxi, kidnapped him to a hilltop villa, and Brown was ready to steal the tattoo on his back and then kill him...

Nelson was very grateful to the policeman, who happened to call him. Judging from the sound, it is a kind old man. The old man said to Nelson, "Boy, you're in a dangerous situation right now, one Brown is down, and more Brown is on the move." As far as I know, the Eagle on your back has been hyped up for fifty million dollars by the buyer! ”

Nelson asked in panic, "Old sir, so, what should I do?" ”

The old man said: "In my opinion, there are two solutions, either to remove the tattoo and make the buyer stop thinking, or simply sell it, which is better than being secretly calculated." ”

Nelson felt that this was reasonable, and in order to ask for further advice, he offered to visit the old man and thank him for saving his life. However, the old man said that he was inconvenient to appear and immediately hung up the phone.

What happened next confirmed the mysterious old man's advice. Nelson lives in fear every day, and he can't live in fear. Cornered, he remembered two suggestions from the mysterious old man and decided to try the first one first. Nelson approached a dermatologist and said he wanted to remove the tattoo on his back. After a careful examination of Nelson's back, the expert shook his head and said, "This tattoo has been fully integrated with the skin, and it cannot be removed except for peeling." ”

Nelson thought to himself: Instead of dying, it would be better to sell the tattoo voluntarily. Perhaps, the postoperative situation is not as terrible as Robert said. After much thought, Nelson decided to let go of the gamble and sell the Eagle on his back.

5. It is better to live than to die

Faced with numerous buyers, Nielsen chose bob with the highest bidder. Bob was a speculator who was willing to pay fifty million dollars for The Eagle and solemnly promised to arrange the best hospital and the best dermatologist for Nelson.

Nelson signed Bob to a contract. Bob didn't break his word, he sent Nelson to the top big hospital, and hired the most authoritative dermatologist for him. However, although Eagle was successfully removed, the effect of skin grafting was very bad.

On the third day after the operation, the newly transplanted skin on Nelson's back began to become inflamed. Over time, the scope of inflammation becomes larger and larger, and the symptoms become more and more severe. In the end, the inflammation turns into ulceration, pus is accompanied by blood, and the smell is inaudible. Nelson grinned in pain and lay on his stomach from morning to night, either whimpering or wailing.

Since the skin change, Nelson can no longer swim or bathe, and to prevent sweating, he hides in the air-conditioned room every day. Due to the compromised immune system, the skin grafts on the back and buttocks are very fragile and can rupture if they are not careful. In this case, Nelson could neither sit nor lie down. What was even more frightening was that he felt a pinprick-like tingle every minute and every second. This stinging pain spreads from the surface to the inside, from the local to the whole body, day and night.

In the days that followed, he ran to the hospital at both ends of the three days, and from morning to night, he could not do without taking medicine and injections. In the past, Nelson believed that money was a panacea. In order to get rich, he gambled wildly, so that he was in debt and hid in Tibet. Today, Nelson is a true rich man, but his feelings are worse than death. At this point, Nelson begins to hate Martha, and it is this fat woman who opens Pandora's box, and disaster ensues... But when the two sides signed a contract, Nelson couldn't do anything about Martha.

Nelson spent all his money on treatment, and he went around seeking medical advice, hoping to find a way to save himself. But after a whole year, the miracle never happened. Just when Nelson fell into despair, the god of fate sent him a glimmer of light.

That day, Nelson had finished his medication and was lying on his stomach on the bed moaning. Suddenly, he received a phone call from the mysterious old man who had saved him.

The old man asked Nelson, "Boy, do you want to relieve yourself of your pain?" ”

Nelson said, "Think, dream!" If I can get back to health, I'm willing to give up all my possessions! ”

The old man smiled and said, "That's not necessary, if you come to the cold house for a trip, I will tell you this recipe for free." Then the old man said his address.

6. Lose your vitality

An hour later, Nelson arrived at the old man's residence, where a white-haired old man sat in the study. Hearing the noise, the old man turned around, and his sword-like gaze fixed on Nelson. After a long silence, the old man said word for word, "I have been waiting for you for three full years." My name is Andrea, and I am the author of The Eagle. ”

Nelson hated The Eagle, and naturally hated Martha and Andrea even more. As a result, his face suddenly darkened. Andre smiled slightly, "I have a remedy that can relieve your physical pain." ”

When Nelson heard this, his interest came, and he urged him to come up with a home remedy. Andre stood up and said coldly, "Well, please come with me, and I'll take you to see the folk remedies now." ”

They came to the garden behind the house, where on a bench sat a blonde woman with a rag doll in her arms. The blonde woman had a nervous problem at first glance. At the bench stood a middle-aged woman, none other than Martha, Andrea's sister.

Andre pointed at the blonde woman and said in a heavy tone, "Oh, the home remedy is her!" ”

When Nelson saw the blonde woman's face, he cried out in fright, "Caroline! ”

Andrea clenched his fists and said word for word, "Yes, she is my dearest daughter Caroline!" ”

Martha also scolded Nelson, "Damn gambler, you ruined Caroline's family and forced her to go insane... Even if you peel off your whole body, it will be difficult to repay this blood debt! ”

Nelson trembled as Martha's words took him back to that terrible and bloody morning three years ago...

Three years ago, Nelson owed a $100,000 gambling debt to a man named George. George demanded that Nelson pay him back immediately or break his leg, and Nelson pleaded bitterly. George stared at Nelson's slender legs and suddenly asked, "I heard you ran fast and won the college league?" Nelson nodded humbly.

George became interested and said excitedly, "Let's make a bet that if you can escape the wolf,000,000 dollars, you will be free of all your debts." ”

Then George explained the specifics of the bet: choose a mountain in the suburbs, put an iron cage with hungry wolves at the bottom of the mountain, and Nelson stood two hundred meters away from the iron cage. When the cage was opened, Nelson ran to the top of the hill, fighting the wolf. If Nelson can run to the top of the mountain, even if he wins, he can avoid the gambling debt. George could have given him a pistol to save himself in a critical moment, but Nelson lost as soon as the gun rang out.

One morning a few days later, the game began. When the hungry wolf was released from the cage, Nelson immediately spread his feet and ran desperately toward the top of the mountain, but the wolf was getting closer and closer to him. Seeing that the situation was critical, Nelson had to pull the pistol out of his arms. Just then, a childish scream suddenly came from the right side. Nelson turned his head to look at it, only to see a little girl about five years old standing not far away. Nelson suddenly flashed a golden cicada out of its shell. He turned around and ran quickly toward the little girl.

When the little girl's heart-rending cries came from behind him, he did not look back, let alone shoot. Nelson ran to the top of the hill in one fell swoop and waived a hundred thousand dollar gambling debts.

The little girl who was bitten to death by a hungry wolf was just five years old, and her mother was Caroline. Caroline took pictures of the landscape in the distance and witnessed Nelson turning around and running to her daughter, hungry wolves tearing the child apart. When she dropped the camera and ran desperately to her daughter, it was too late. Afterwards, Caroline learned of Nelson's bet with George, and she was even more sad and indignant, and took Nelson to court. Nelson argued in court that he had been attacked by a wild wolf and had not seen a little girl hiding there. George, in order to get rid of the connection, also denied making a bet with Nelson. The judge ultimately acquitted Nelson. Caroline was so depressed that she soon went crazy.

A cold wind blew in, waking Nelson from his memories.

Nelson's eyes swept over Caroline, Andrea, and Martha, and he suddenly realized, "I see, from tattoos to selling paintings, this is an elaborate trap!" ”

Andrea sneered, "To be precise, this is a plot for revenge!" ”

Then, Andre told the story of the beginning and the end of the matter: In the face of his daughter's tragic experience, Andrea was distraught, and he decided to abandon the rigid law and take revenge on Nelson in his own way.

Ender spent a lot of money and held the first International Tattoo Competition. Meanwhile, Martha follows Nelson to Koror Island and tricks him into signing a tattoo deal with $400,000 as bait. During the tattoo, Martha deliberately stuck the needle deep so that Eagle was firmly embedded in the skin. Martha also injected Nelson with a special poison called "black pomegranate" to destroy his immunity and lay the groundwork for skin grafting. "Black pomegranate" is taken from a variety of natural toxins, and its formula is little known.

Andrea said, "Nelson, if you still have a little conscience, you should repent to God now and make amends to my daughter!" ”

Nelson continued: "You must have a tape recorder hidden in you, trying to record my confession!" But I didn't say anything, and the police couldn't do anything about me! With that, he waved his hand and turned away.

Andrea took a small paper bag out of his arms, gently tore it open, and sprinkled the blue powder inside onto the ground. These blue powders are the antidote to "black pomegranates".
