Chapter 167: Countdown
When Yan Yueque was arguing with Qinglan, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and it was Ji Jiutian and others who had climbed the city tower.
"Ji Jiutian said that just now he seems to have discovered the secret of the Golden Holy Sword, and wants everyone to help him with his staff. Cen Ling explained.
Ji Jiutian nodded slightly: "I found that this sword seems to be particularly sensitive to fierce beasts." ”
"Earlier, I fought with the fierce beast group led by Meng Xishan, and somehow, this sword suddenly became particularly hot-"
At that time, he felt that within the sword body, there was an energy flowing through his whole body, penetrating his meridians and blood vessels. His hand lifted almost automatically, slashing towards the herd of beasts opposite.
He didn't even need to deliberately use his spiritual power to perform some basic spiritual skills, as if the sword was taking him into battle.
This feeling is somewhat similar to when he first obtained the holy sword in Gengcheng and was controlled by it, but this time he can also retain his own consciousness. His soul is in harmony with the sword spirit, feeling its wrath, corresponding to its fighting spirit!
Yes...... It's anger. He could feel a strong anger as he gripped the sword, flowing with the rushing source of power. It's as if the former owner of that sword has some unresolved feud with these beasts!
Moreover, those fierce beasts are also a little afraid of his sword, and they will consciously retreat. And when the Golden Holy Sword slashes at their bodies, the blades also seem to have some kind of corrosive substance, which can break their special armor, and come with damage bonuses and so on.
This is the rare time in so long that the Golden Holy Sword has shown something special. With this, he did kill a large number of fierce beasts, until he angered Meng Xishan and rushed directly to fight him in close combat......
Later, he also tested it with other enemies, but none of them had a similar reaction. This can be said to be a clue, but it is also an unsolved mystery.
"Only react to the beast-" Listening to his narration, Ge Shuchong gloated and folded his arms, dangling back and forth in front of him, "Could it be that the former owner of this sword is a hunter?"
Jiutian glared at him with displeasure: "The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth!"
Ge Shuchong suddenly became furious: "Who do you say is the dog!" Thanks to the dissuasion of the trialists on the side, a civil fighting that was about to start in the control room was avoided.
However, such a statement really has no value for convincing. To hunt with such a sword is simply to kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Rong Xiao also tried to analyze: "Most of the demonic beasts that Meng Xishan subdued should have come from the Endless Abyss. The Golden Holy Sword reacted, could it be that the former owner of this sword had something to do with the Endless Abyss?"
Ji Jiutian frowned: "Golden Holy Sword...... Endless Abyss...... "Sounds like a good idea. He seems to have found the direction of his investigation after he went out-
Listening to everyone's words, Yan Yue endured and endured, and finally scolded angrily: "What's the use of you talking about all these things that you don't have! If you figure out the secret of the Golden Holy Sword, can you kill all those enemies outside?"
Perhaps he was too emotional, and as soon as he said this, he suddenly pressed his chest tightly, breathing rapidly, and a sharp pain like being torn apart was flooding from his heart upwards, almost cutting his whole body in half.
A few people hurriedly stepped forward to help, Yan Yueque was also used to this strange disease, and tried to take a few deep breaths, just thinking that when he calmed down a little, it would be relieved.
But this time, the disease was menacing, not only did it not get better for a long time, but the stinging sensation that lingered in my heart became stronger and stronger. Finally, the darkness in front of Yan Yueque's eyes continued to expand, and his whole body fell forward in a burst of tinnitus like a drum and a hammer.
……
When he came to his senses again, he was sitting in a small simple room, his wrist resting on his table, taking the pulse of a half-physician trialist.
Because he was the coach and suddenly fainted, the people in Group A paid great attention to it, and even those who usually had a bad relationship with him rushed here. For a while, the small room was crowded with people, which made the air doubly stagnant.
Yan Yueque frowned, he hated this feeling of being treated as terminally ill by everyone...... In particular, the half-hung man on the other side always looked solemn, as if he was about to say something unlucky...... Even the air was murky, and the towers that shook from time to time, and the sound of artillery fire outside, all of this annoyed him!
After a while, the doctor finally spoke.
"City Lord Yan, I'm very sorry to tell you that the series of symptoms you have recently exhibited are all due to the damage caused by strong radiation. ”
"And the source of the radiation," he picked up a pillow from under the table and placed it in front of everyone, "is the jade pillow that the city lord has used for a long time, and the jade lock you wear with you." ”
The jade lock has naturally been removed, and now it is placed together with the jade pillow.
They still emit a faint green glow, still so mysterious and beautiful, fascinating, but even if they carry an extremely strong radiation source, looking at that light now, it is only terrifying.
"What, this can't be!" Yan Yueque wanted to get up excitedly, "These two things, ...... at the beginning"
At this point, he suddenly froze, and his legs went limp, and he fell back into the chair.
At the beginning, it was Ou Yao who came to offer treasures, and he was willing to be the inside line of Group B, asking for shelter in Group A...... He also said that he didn't care about his image in front of the audience, and only asked the city lord to transfer him enough points after the trial. and said that in order to avoid other people's eyes, let him be sure to keep it secret......
Many scattered clues were gathered at this time, could it be that his purpose was ——? from the beginning
"Damn thing......" Thinking of all this, Yan Yueque was furious and slapped the table hard, "You dare to play on my head!"
Ou Yao's purpose is not to integrate points at all...... It's about burying a time bomb around you...... He never betrayed Group B, he just acted in front of himself and played a wonderful Infernal Affairs in front of the whole world's audience!
At this time, everyone in the room who suddenly woke up also whispered with a frightened face.
"No wonder I feel more and more grumpy during this time, it turns out that it is because of this radiation source!"
"Yes, it seems that a lot of conflicts have been caused by it...... The people in Group B are black, playing this hand, it's really killing people without seeing blood!"
“…… Tell me how to cure this disease!" Hearing the whispers of everyone in the room, Yan Yueque raised her voice again, as if she wanted to suppress her subconscious uneasiness, "When my strength recovers, I must kill all the villains in Group B!"
"It's a pity......" The doctor suddenly became cramped, while carefully peeking at his face, "These two things, in themselves, are extremely radioactive, and the city lord has been using them closely, for a long time, and now the radiation has penetrated into the heart, liver, and intestines, destroying all the organs in your body, including the hematopoietic cells, which are also completely necrotic, and the heart and lungs cannot function normally, I am afraid that they are...... The medicine stone is gone......"
It took Yan Yueque a while to digest the meaning of his words. His eyes instantly turned cold, his voice was cold and piercing, and there was a hint of imperceptible fear: "Then you mean...... Is that hopeless?"
The doctor swallowed: "I'm afraid...... That is true. ”
"If you don't use your spiritual power again during this time, maybe you can last a few more days. ”
Seeing that Yan Yueque's expression was extremely unkind, he hurriedly added: "With my medical skills, at most, I can temporarily delay the life of the city lord...... But you're still going to die before the trial is over...... But don't worry, when you return to reality, there will be no sequelae of radiation damage here!"
Looking at the doctor who hurriedly buried his head in prescribing medicine in order to make up for his mistake, and then looked at the jade pillow and jade lock on the table, the blurry glow was now braving a strange cold, like a pair of mocking eyes. Yan Yueque only felt that all thoughts were lost. The pride he had when he first entered this space, all his pride, turned into an unbreakable curse, burying his world.
“…… Not necessarily. After coldly leaving this sentence, he ignored the doctor's obstruction, stood up and pushed aside the crowd, turned around and left.
He struggled to straighten his back, trying to keep the last bit of dignity on his shoulders.
Work hard so that you don't have to leave like a lost dog.
Feng Boliang didn't think much about it and followed him. After watching him break away from the crowd, his steps became staggering, and he staggered into a storage room, where he collapsed at the table in despair. Perhaps it was the sudden blow that left his consciousness blank, and he forgot to close the door.
When Feng Boliang stepped into the room behind him, Yan Yueque rolled her eyes with difficulty, and said as restrained as she could: "You go out, I want to be alone and quiet." ”
He held his forehead with one hand, and when his palm slipped down, he grabbed a handful of hair. This new discovery made him even more devastated. He already knew that he was dying, but now that all the phenomena were going to remind him that he was dying, did he have to come together to remind him that he was dying?
Not long ago, he was still discussing with Qinglan what the most important thing is...... Now he is sure! Life is definitely life! If there is no life left, what is the point of pursuing other things!
Sunny Blue ...... That's right, Sunny Blue...... She said that she could make a deal with herself, and let herself pay the most important thing in exchange for the rout of the enemy army. If she really has the ability...... So, I wonder if she can use some kind of exchange to extend her time? at least...... Let him survive until the end of the trial......
But...... He is the young master of Tianxiao Pavilion, he is the boss of the high, do you really want to go and beg for mercy from that little girl of unknown origin?
Just as Yan Yueque's thoughts collided wildly, Feng Boliang sighed, raised his hand and gently wiped it, set up a layer of soundproof barrier, and then slowly walked to his side.
"Staying locked in the house all the time won't solve the problem, I just want to talk to you about it. ”
She knew that with his arrogance, she definitely didn't want her soulless appearance to fall into the eyes of outsiders, whether it was to be comforted or complained to others...... So, if you want to tell him something honest, you have to make sure that no one hears them except for them.
"Are you here to see my jokes?" Feeling the sudden change in the atmosphere in the room, Yan Yueque roared hoarsely again, "Get out! I don't need to be ridiculed by the demon girl of the Nine Shadows Palace!"
The trial is almost over, and his life is actually entering the countdown...... This is ridiculous...... His lofty Young Master of Tianxiao Pavilion is now like a terminally ill patient, who can only wait for death to come every day......
Perhaps, when things have developed to this point, they are indeed responsible. It was he who shouldn't have trusted Ou Yao, shouldn't have made this deal with him, and shouldn't have listened to his demagoguery, and self-righteously concealed everyone......
But even so, there could have been a turnaround, it could have been ......
His abnormality was not pointed out at first. Feng Boliang had said it, and Rong Xiao had also said that they said that his physical condition did not look very good, and he should have asked a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, but he never believed them. He decided that they just wanted to see their own jokes, he decided that they just couldn't see their own good, and he always responded to their kindness with the most extreme indifference.
It also includes the Lonely City of Ink...... Even he said, "You look like a terminally ill person." However, Mo Gucheng is his biggest competitor, and he naturally won't listen to the words of his competitors...... He was the peak powerhouse of the ninth level of the Qi Sect, he was the young master of Tianxiao Pavilion, and there was absolutely no problem with his body!
That's it, he procrastinated day by day, delaying his illness day by day.
Even the doctor said that if it could have been detected early, it could have been treated early......
So now he doesn't blame anyone, does he only blame himself? Is it his own doing, okay?
Feng Boliang still didn't give up, she calmly sat down opposite him.
"Well, even if I'm here to see your jokes, why don't you laugh first?"
Yan Yueque squinted at her, and after a while, the corners of his mouth finally pulled a trace of despair. It seemed to be a smile, but it was bitterly cold.
"Huh...... A person who is laughing at others and is bent on holding power still doesn't know that he has been played so badly by others...... Isn't it ridiculous that someone has issued a reminder and still can't do anything but sit here and wait for death?
Until he had vented enough, the back of his cold hand was suddenly covered with a piece of warmth.
Yan Yue was stunned, raised her gaze inch by inch, and looked at Feng Boliang opposite like a monster. Then his gaze slowly descended to their overlapping palms.
"There's nothing to laugh about. People make mistakes. If there is a problem and solve it, no one is the same?"
