Chapter 298 Surprise and Surprise

Chapter 298 Surprise and Surprise

Due to Huai Shi's insistence, after medical scholars confirmed that Huai Shi was fine, he finally went through the formalities of being discharged from the hospital on the same day. Then I saw the big cousin sitting in the corridor.

"Yo, young man." Zhu Hongchen waved to him: "Happy to mention the third runner-up, congratulations."

"Although I say that, I don't really feel it at all." Huai Shi smiled bitterly: "Is there something wrong with big cousin?"

Zhu Hongchen thought for a while, "It's nothing to worry about. Recently, I've given all my work to Third Sister Mo. Every day I paddle in water and fish, and I'm so happy... But young man, it seems that something will happen to you."

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

But Zhu Hongchen didn't say much, just got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Some things shouldn't be said by me, and I have no position to interrupt, and I can't help you, so be careful yourself. What's going on recently? Any travel plans? Going to London, Rome, or Petrograd would be nice..."

Huai Shi was stunned.

Wait, is someone going to persecute me again?

"Forget it, don't say these spoilers." Zhu Hongchen waved his hands nonchalantly, and changed the subject: "Are you going to leave?"

Huai Shi nodded, but saw Zhu Hongchen handing over the long bag beside her. Huai Shi's familiar source quality fluctuations exuded from the black slender bag, which made him a little unbelievable.

Zhu Hongchen smiled: "Take care of important things, and don't throw them anywhere."

Huai Shi hurriedly opened the bag, and then saw the 'Sword of Virtue' that had been re-maintained and looked the same as before.

After he left the field, this frontier relic was left in Yamatai. After the game, Yamatai became the border of Eastern Xia, the third Bianliang City again, which made him have a headache as to how to negotiate with the Social Security Bureau to get this thing back.

Even if it is exchanged or whatever price is paid, as a successor, he cannot let the last relic of the previous prince be lost from his hands.

But he didn't expect Zhu Hongchen to send it back to him without taking any money.

"Thank you." Huai Shi picked up the sword bag in surprise, sincerely grateful.

"You don't need to thank me, Xiaoxian brought it out." Zhu Hongchen shrugged: "The child is still in the hospital, why don't you go and see it?"

The joy on Huai Shi's face froze: "Did something happen to her?"

"Some problems will have to be faced sooner or later, but she regrets it."

Zhu Hongchen sighed, and took out a key card from his pocket: "On the second basement floor, just say I asked you to come, and they will let you in."

"..."

Huai Shi took the door card, feeling ominous.

The second basement of the hospital was deeper than he thought.

After entering the basement floor, I changed to a special elevator and went down for a long time before the elevator slowly stopped.

Compared with the hospital above where people come and go, this place seems to be a colder and more alienated research institution, only the sign of "Jixia" is pasted at the door, and the security is heavily guarded.

Occasionally someone passed by in the distant corridor, but they were in a hurry, wearing white coats, and smelling of disinfectant.

In the empty hall, there was only a pale man behind the front desk, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, his eye sockets were huge, but the pupils were too small, and his vision was erratic. A heart-stopping chill.

Looking like this, there is no such thing as a welcoming service with a smile. He just stretched out his hand stiffly, and after checking the key card in Huai Shi's hand, he asked dully, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to see Luo Xian."

After listening, the person at the front desk handed over a notebook, and after Huai Shi finished signing, a man wearing a mask came out of the corridor, beckoned, and signaled Huai Shi to follow him.

After going through several times of disinfection, there was also a special person to check Huai Shi's body for any source virus. After seeing Huai Shi's inspection report, the listless old man's face turned as green as a mountain ghost.

After Huai Shi repeatedly assured that he would not act recklessly, he still put on a positioning bracelet for him, forcibly took out a layer of chemical protective clothing, and sent a special person to follow him, sternly warning: "If he wants to act recklessly, Jixia does not guarantee your safety."

Huai Shi is as good as a stream.

Finally stepped into the door of the ward.

Then he saw Luo Xian.

The thin figure on the hospital bed, with long hair withered like straw, pale skin, but rosy lips, slightly raised, like a smile.

Immersed in sweet dreams.

deep sleep.

But what Huai Shi couldn't believe was that she couldn't feel the fluctuation of her source quality, and even the stigmata on her body began to degenerate.

Degeneration and decay are normal for miracle carriers like stigmata.

But this is based on the premise that after losing the user and being suspended for hundreds of years, even the original fifth-order stigmata will collapse, just like the sun witch fragments dug out of the abyss by Yingzhou. After losing the sacrifices and supplies, it has degenerated into the Philosopher's Stone.

At this moment, Luo Xian's stigmata gave Huai Shi that feeling.

With the Book of Destiny in hand, at this moment, under the reflection of Huai Shi's mirror of nothingness, all the situations can be seen at a glance - she has degenerated from the peak of the third level to the bottom of the first level, and there is even the possibility of falling below .

If it weren't for the maintenance of the surrounding instruments, her own soul might have decayed and broken, and she became a vegetable.

"It's pathetic, isn't it?"

The muscular old man next to the hospital bed glanced at him calmly, waved his hand, motioned the people behind to go out, and said slowly: "It's been like this since the end of the game.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with the person, but the soul has begun to decay rapidly, and even the stigmata can't be maintained..."

"..."

After being silent for a long time, Huai Shi sat on the chair. He really wanted to say that it would be too exaggerated to say that it would be a bit exaggerated, but in the end, he could only ask in a low voice, "Is this my fault?"

"Don't think too much of yourself, kid. At best, you just happened to play a key role... If it wasn't for you, I should have killed her."

The old man leaned back on the chair, stared at his daughter quietly, and calmly said those terrible words: "She has inherited the advantages of my mother and me, with incredible talents and abyssal compatibility, but unfortunately also inherited It eliminates our flaws—while retaining the characteristics of humans and abyssal creatures.

Before that, when the side of the abyss prevailed, she gradually became like a monster, until she met you, had a duel with you, and then you saved her.

For the monster, all of this is of course insignificant, it is just a victory or defeat. But for the human part, your love is too heavy, Huai Shi, too heavy for her to accept. "

Looking at her daughter's distressed appearance, Luo Lao's expression became unsure whether it was ridicule or pity: "When the human part rejects or even denies the monster's side, her life based on this inheritance will welcome her. Come crash.

She wants to become a human being, but the human side is too thin to support the existence of a soul..."

"Will she...will die?"

"have no idea."

Luo Lao shook his head slowly: "Now her soul is being rebuilt after the cognitive collapse, as if the whole house has been bulldozed and rebuilt from the ruins. Who knows if she can persist until the day of completion?"

"Is there no other way?"

Huai Shi asked: "If Dongxia's genealogy..."

"This is her own choice, so what does it have to do with others?"

Luo Lao seemed to be amused by his serious look: "Did you make a mistake, Huai Shi, not everyone will fall into the abyss of misfortune without your help.

Why do you have to let everyone can't do without you? Isn't this her voluntary choice? If she wants to live, she can live..."

He took a deep look at Huai Shi: "Learn to expect others, boy, the world will always go on as usual, whether you are there or not."

After a long silence, Huai Shi nodded bitterly and got up to say goodbye.

"Don't come here in the future." Luo Lao kept sending him outside the hospital, and said coldly: "Since you have graduated, don't keep pestering the teacher's daughter, you deserve a beating like this. "

This is already a rare word of comfort that can be heard from the old man, but Huai Shi still couldn't laugh, waved her hand, and turned to say goodbye.

Hear the last words behind you.

"She said, thank you..."

His footsteps faltered, and he looked back, but there was no old man at the door of the hospital.

Should I feel relieved or feel more guilty?

Huai Shi didn't know.

Carrying his bag, he wandered the streets of Jinling, wanting to chat with someone like never before, and then saw a man leaning on the car at the end of the long street.

"I guess you really want to talk to someone now." The smoking man threw down the cigarette butt and stamped it out, shaking his head at him: "Come on, I'll take you to drink."

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "...do you both like to jump out suddenly and wait for me?"

"It's just a coincidence." Liu Dongli shrugged, "There's no time to explain, get in the car."

"Also, do you know that minors can't drink alcohol?"

In the car, Liu Dongli rolled his eyes and urged him to get in the car: "Is there anything you haven't done that minors can't do?"

Huai Shi thought about it seriously, and felt that what he said seemed to make sense, so she casually threw the backpack into the car and got into the passenger seat.

"when did you come?"

"Early morning."

"when are we leaving?"

"tomorrow."

Liu Dongli pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked without thinking: "If your vacation is not over yet, are you interested in going to 'Shambhala' with me?"

...

At the same time, Ai Qing heard a knock on the door outside the office.

She raised her head and was about to speak when she heard the door open, and the guest outside the door walked into the door, holding on to crutches, taking every step forward slowly and cautiously.

Be careful.

In that way, it is not so much the fear of slipping, but the fear of any omissions and accidents.

Until the end, sitting on the sofa in the office, he let out a long sigh.

"It's so tiring."

The old man sighed softly: "It's been a long time since I walked such a long distance, why are the buildings here so tall, Xiaoqing?"

In the silence, Ai Qing took off her glasses and looked at the old man with a blank expression on her face: "The Astronomical Association is a secret organization, I thought that idlers are forbidden to enter during office hours."

"Rules are rules, but they can't stop an old man from seeing his great-granddaughter, right?"

The old man laughed nonchalantly, raised his cloudy pupils, looked at this long-lost young face, and smiled kindly: "If you don't come to see me, I can only come to see you."

The Zhongxing Lord of the Jinling Yin Clan is also the actual controller, the old man who brought this family back from the brink of ruin—— Yin Liangji said so.

"Long time no see, Xiaoqing."

"Yeah, long time no see..."

Ai Qing replied indifferently:

"—'Grandpa'."

After re-discussing the outline, I still feel that it is not very smooth, so I finally wrote an update after staying up all afternoon. I will try my best to update normally tomorrow.
