Chapter 48 The Monster in My Heart
Wenchuan District, Taijiang Hospital.

After consulting the lobby service desk, Fang Cheng took the elevator to the third floor carrying an exquisite fruit basket.

This hospital is private and has a very small building area, only five stories high.

The environment is very elegant and quiet, and the decoration is also very sophisticated.

There is none of the hustle and bustle of a large public hospital.

Along the way, I met more medical staff than patients, and their attitudes were extremely friendly.

If it weren't for the smell of disinfectant in the air, I would have thought I had walked into a luxury hotel.

"Those who can live here should be rich people, right?"

Fang Cheng looked around while searching for the ward where Goro Majima was.

After walking through the corridor and around the corner, we finally found a VIP care ward with a particularly hidden location.

At this time, two burly men in black suits and sunglasses were standing outside the door.

Looks like a bodyguard hired by Goro Majima.

Fang Cheng then stepped forward and politely stated his identity and purpose.

But he was still blocked outside the door.

The two bodyguards seemed very indifferent. They seemed not to understand Xia Guo language and did not go in to inform their employer.

He just raised his hand silently, making a gesture to prohibit entry.

Fang Cheng was slightly startled, then shook his head, put down the fruit basket, turned around and prepared to leave.

I didn't expect that Goro Majima would be more stylish than a celebrity...

At this moment, there seemed to be some movement inside, and a woman's voice was heard.

"Let him in."

Fang Cheng paused, thought about it, and decided to stay.

When you walk into the ward, you can see that it is a very spacious suite.

Not only are all kinds of medical care facilities available, but the decoration also tends to be in a warm home style.

The sunlight shines through the large glass windows, and there is no oppressive atmosphere at all.

Goro Majima was lying on the hospital bed, wrapped up like a mummy.

Especially the neck was covered with a thick layer of white plaster.

A young woman in a floral dress was by his bedside.

That was Goro Majima’s fiancée, her name was Choi Soo-young, and she was from Xia country.

After some misunderstandings yesterday, Fang Cheng and she finally got to know each other.

"I'm sorry, I hit too hard yesterday."

Fang Cheng glanced at the ward environment and immediately apologized.

Pick up the fruit basket and put it on the table beside you.

Choi Soo-young leaned over and whispered something in Majima Goro's ear.

Although Goro Majima looked miserable, he was conscious.

Then replied:
"It's okay. I made the request myself."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance sideways at his fiancée standing next to him, fearing that she would blame him.

It seemed that he deliberately sent her away yesterday and secretly competed with Fang Cheng, but was still discovered.

Choi Soo-young didn't say anything impolite and behaved quite dignifiedly.

She asked Fang Cheng to sit down, then brought him a glass of water.

Fang Cheng thanked him and took it with both hands.

During the greetings, I also got a general understanding of Goro Majima's current injury condition.

There were multiple fractures throughout the body and severe bruising of muscle tissue.

The most serious part was the neck, which was fixed with plaster.

Fortunately, there were no internal injuries.

The attending physician just came over to conduct a post-operative examination and diagnosis. It was determined that the patient would need to be hospitalized for at least one month for observation and treatment.

Goro Majima, however, felt good about himself, and his mental state even seemed healthier and more cheerful than before.

He spoke nonchalantly, as if he was used to it, and even shouted that he wanted to go home and rest immediately.

After Choi Sooyoung scolded him a few times, he finally shut up obediently.

I have to say, this guy's physique is indeed different from that of an ordinary person. Or perhaps it should be said that it has reached the level of "inhumanity"...

The thought lingered in Fang Cheng's mind.

After the doctor left the ward, he began to speak:
"Mr. Majima, may I ask you a question?"

Fang Cheng paused, staring at Goro Majima with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Which style of karate did you learn? How come your muscles swelled up in a fight and became that strange?"

This question is exactly the main purpose of Fang Cheng's visit.

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the expectant couple, Goro Majima and Choi Soo-young, looked unnatural.

There seems to be some unspeakable secret involved.

Just when Fang Cheng was feeling disappointed and thought he couldn't get to the bottom of the matter.

Goro Majima suddenly sighed and smiled bitterly.

"No wonder Mr. Fang is suspicious. The strangeness of this matter cannot be explained in a few words..."

He did not explain the reason immediately, but his eyes were gloomy, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past events.

Although Choi Soo-young tried to dissuade him, he still waved his hand and then slowly told Fang Cheng the whole story.

Goro Majima was born into a very traditional samurai family in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.

My grandfather was one of the promoters of the Japanese Karate National Championship. He had the unique skill of knocking down a bull with a hand knife and could be called a respected martial arts master.

Influenced by his family environment, he has loved martial arts since he was a child. He has been studying various skills tirelessly and is determined to become a fighter who flexes his youthful passion in the arena.

However, due to his weak physical foundation and lack of talent, he was only eligible to participate in some amateur competitions when he was 18 years old.

My cousin of the same generation in the family has already successfully advanced to the national competition and has become a rising star in the media.

Carrying the halo given by his grandfather, Goro Majima still performs like a piece of trash even though he trains hard every day.

He had to change his ideals and enter university to study literature.

However, it was also during his college years that he met his current girlfriend, Choi Soo-young, an international student from Xia Country.

I originally thought that I would just get married, have children, and live the rest of my life in peace.

As a result, one day, he happened to meet a person who claimed to be a representative of a pharmaceutical company and said that the company was researching a new type of drug.

This drug can stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete a mysterious hormone, continuously enhancing physical fitness and ultimately breaking through various limits of the human body.

Although Goro Majima had some doubts and hesitations, he couldn't suppress his ambitions.

After seeing some actual cases, I finally signed a confidentiality agreement with them and took the risk to participate in the so-called Phase III drug trial.

It turned out that the effect of the drug was better than Goro Majima had expected.

He returned to physical training and stepped onto the court again.

His performance in matches improved rapidly afterwards, and he successfully entered the national competition, knocking out his opponents on the field.

He even received an invitation to the world's top mixed martial arts competition and was called the "Waka Tiger" by the Japanese media.

For a time, fame, money, and praise came one after another, making Goro Majima a little intoxicated.

But behind the scenery there are often unspeakable secrets.

Some abnormalities began to appear in his body.

First, large clumps of hair fell out, then frequent nosebleeds and sudden heart palpitations occurred.

The changes go far beyond this.

The most fatal thing is that Goro Majima has developed an extremely strong dependence on that drug.

Regular injections are needed to control the inexplicable anxiety, anger and hatred.

It was as if a terrifying monster was taking possession of his heart.

Constantly devouring the original body's good qualities such as gentleness, humility, and compassion.

As long as the mood is slightly bad, the monster will become agitated.

Sometimes he couldn't help it, so he would buy a can of bugs, slowly drown them, and then crush them one by one.

If he didn't vent like this, he was afraid that he would reach out to his fellow countrymen.

Goro Majima was afraid that he would completely lose his mind, so he tried to quit taking drugs, but it was impossible.

Just continue like this slowly and accumulate gradually.

until one day.

He finally couldn't help it... and released the monster in his heart.
