The training ground Tony had prepared for Dorothy was the basement of his villa. There were many complicated and sophisticated high-tech instruments and a large nest of white mice. The moment Dorothy saw the large nest of white mice, she felt that if she had trypophobia, she would have run out of the house.
Facing the nest of healthy white mice, Dorothy knew that if she wanted to practice her healing ability, she would have to injure and kill them first. Since the process was a bit bloody, Jarvis controlled the robot to help her complete it.
In the first stage, Dorothy had to practice healing small wounds. This stage didn't last long. After four white mice died, Dorothy successfully healed the fifth one. After that, all the mice with minor injuries were healed as well.
In the second stage, she had to practice repairing the fractures of the white mice. Dorothy felt that this stage was a bit strenuous. Previously, when she was healing external wounds, Dorothy only needed to focus on the wounds and she could clearly see the healing of the white mice's wounds. However, the fractures couldn't be seen from the outside, so it took some time until Jarvis reminded Dorothy that it was time for dinner. As Dorothy ate the fried chicken that Little Dumbass had painstakingly delivered to the basement, she thought about how useless she was. She ran into difficulties in the second stage, which also caused Dorothy to lose her appetite after eating a pair of wings.
After asking Jarvis to put the fried chicken into the incubator, Dorothy continued with her second stage of training. She tried hard to focus and imagined the possible fractures of the white mice. At this moment, Dorothy seemed to see through the white mouse's skin and saw the broken bones. Dorothy was shocked. After blinking her eyes quickly, she looked at the same place, but she didn't feel the same as before. Dorothy thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her. She rubbed her eyes and prepared to continue, but when she opened her eyes, she found that the white mouse was gone.
"Jarvis, did you see the lab rat lying in the middle just now?" Dorothy picked up all the things on the table that could be hiding and put them aside, but she still couldn't find the white mouse.
"It's under the table. According to the test, its fracture has healed."
"Is this true? Jarvis, show me the video. "Dorothy was excited when she heard that she had succeeded.
Jarvis projected the video. Dorothy saw that when she rubbed her eyes, the white mouse twitched a few times. Then, it got up and quickly jumped off the table. In an instant, it hid under the table.
After watching the complete video, Dorothy calmed herself down and continued to choose a few mice to practice with. She tried hard to recall how she had focused her mind to see through the inside of the mouse, but the result was still a little disappointing.
However, after a long period of trial and error, Dorothy finally healed all the broken bones of the white mouse without any mistakes.
In the third stage, Dorothy had to restore the broken internal organs of the white mouse. In this stage, because of Dorothy's X-ray ability, she quickly restored the internal organs of the white mouse without any mistakes.
At the last stage, the fourth stage, resurrection.
"You should go and rest." Jarvis controlled the mechanical arm and pulled Dorothy's hand that was holding the white mouse.
"But I'm not tired yet. Jarvis, let me practice for another two hours. Then, let Little Clumsy help me heat up the fried chicken. It's just in time for me to have a midnight snack."
Dorothy felt that she was only one step away from success, so she didn't want to stop at all.
She emptied her mind and focused only on the body of the white mouse. She didn't know how long she had been like this. She only felt that her head was heavy and her feet were light. She felt like she was floating. The white mouse that she saw was also changing between X-ray and non-X-ray. She only felt that her eyes were very sore.
Perhaps I'm really too tired. I'll just eat my midnight snack and watch some TV before going to sleep. That was what Dorothy originally thought, but something strange suddenly happened.
When she saw through the white mouse, she saw the universe, the vast universe of stars. Then, she felt that she was being sucked into the universe. Right in front of her were six gemstones of different colors. At first, these six gemstones danced around her, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared. In their place was a huge space station. There was a lot of strange energy overflowing from it, which made Dorothy feel that it was very familiar.
At first, she felt that all of this was novel. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to see the true face of the universe with their own eyes. Although it might be her illusion. Until she felt a strong suction force, she realized that all of this was not simple.
If I'm sucked away, I'll disappear completely. This thought suddenly appeared in Dorothy's mind. She was very sure that this was what was going to happen.
The suction force was getting stronger and stronger. She felt that she was being twisted and squeezed and torn. Indescribable pain swept through her whole body. She felt that she was really going to die this time.
She thought that she should be happy facing this kind of death because at least she would not have to face the taste of living a life worse than death in the future. However, on the contrary, her heart was now filled with fear. Her mind was like a slide show of the people she had seen over the years she had been alive.
She found that she seemed to be unable to let them go.
Dorothy used all her strength to fight against this suction force, but in the end, it was useless. Despair gradually began to emerge in her heart.
Just ten meters away from the space station, the smell of fried chicken lingered in Dorothy's nose. What followed was a dull pain as if a heavy object had hit her face. Dorothy was dazed. This daze made Dorothy return to the laboratory. Her legs went soft, and she fell to the ground.
"Are you okay? What happened in the past three hours? " Jarvis's voice sounded a little worried. It had been three hours since Dorothy began the final stage. During this time, Dorothy stood like a statue, staring straight at the dead white mouse.
Dorothy still had a lingering fear of the scene just now. She did not answer Jarvis's question for a moment. She just sat on the ground, picked up the fried chicken leg that had fallen on the floor tile, and gnawed on it.
Huh?! Fried chicken leg.
"Jarvis, play the video just now." Dorothy put the chicken leg on the plate on the ground. She was not curious why the plate with the fried chicken was on the ground.
In the video, Dorothy was like a statue. However, after ten minutes or so, Dorothy's body became slightly distorted. After asking Jarvis to play the video in slow motion, Dorothy discovered that not only was her body slightly distorted, but it also became slightly transparent at times. This process continued until Little Dumb Hand brought over the heated fried chicken. However, it was tripped by the white mouse and smashed the fried chicken into Dorothy's face.
"Little Dumb Hand, you're my savior!" Dorothy threw herself onto Little Dumb Hand's body. Little Dumb Hand shook the plate in confusion.
Dorothy was exhausted after experiencing this unpleasant three hours of space travel. She only wanted to take a bath and sleep. She did not care that she would gain weight if she slept right after eating. Right now, she was extremely tired.
Dorothy lay in the warm water with her eyes closed. She listened to the soothing and light music that Jarvis played to relieve Dorothy's stress. She carefully recalled the scene that flashed through her mind when she was about to be sucked in. Those people were people that Dorothy cared about. She knew that people would remember the most important things and people in their lives before they died. However, what puzzled her was that Firth appeared among them. That doctor, the doctor that Dorothy had only met once.
Was Firth someone that Dorothy cared about? That was absolutely impossible. Even Béla, her new best friend, did not appear in the video. Instead, Firth did.
"Ah, so annoying. Why are there so many things to worry about this year!" As soon as Dorothy finished her sentence, she held her breath and slowly sank into the warm water. Only when the oxygen in her lungs disappeared did she slowly poke her head out.
"Jarvis, don't tell Tony about what happened today. Also, help me investigate that Firth," Dorothy put on her bathrobe and threw herself onto the bed. "Help me change the scene outside the glass to a starry sky."
