Chapter 7: Two Hearts and One Thought
Alice lay on the sofa with a bloodless face, her teeth clenched, her body trembling slightly, and no matter how Sun Suhe shouted, there was no response.
What should I do? Sun Suhe was sweating profusely and was anxious. He didn't know exactly what was going on or why it was happening, but it was clear that Alice was in a very bad situation.
The first thought that flashed through Sun Suhe's heart was to send her to the hospital quickly. However, this idea was quickly dismissed. Not to mention whether human doctors are capable of giving treatments, the mere fact that Alice's body is different from human beings will cause unimaginable trouble. It's just that if you don't turn to a doctor, what can you do?
Sun Suhe forced himself to calm down, at this time, panic is the first enemy to be defeated. For Alice, human common sense doesn't help much, but who knows how to deal with the other world except herself?
By the way, Sun Suhe remembered the bulging backpack that Alice was carrying, maybe it contained her usual medicines?
Sun Suhe hurriedly took the backpack that was placed aside, but when he took a closer look, he found that the entire backpack was completely integrated, and he couldn't find the opening of the backpack after turning it over.
Sun Suhe was so anxious that he scolded secretly: "Damn, is this going to be opened with magic?"
As he continued to figure out how to open his backpack, he looked back to check on Alice.
"Huh?" Sun Suhe's expression moved, and Alice's situation seemed to have changed a little. Specks of green light were slowly drifting out of her.
Sun Suhe tried to call her: "Alice, Alice, Sun Suhe?", but there was still no response.
There were more and more points of light, gathering around Alice's body. These points of light seemed to follow some mysterious rule, slowly but rigorously fluttering and circulating, faintly forming an emerald green light cocoon to envelop her.
Sun Suhe didn't know if this change was good or bad, Alice's body was still trembling slightly, and no matter how Sun Suhe called, there was no response.
Worried even more, Sun Suhe stretched out his hand and cautiously tried to touch the light cocoon.
At the moment when Sun Suhe's fingertips touched the light cocoon, suddenly, a sharp pain that pierced the heart struck violently from the palm of his hand. Sun Suhe was shocked by electricity and fell to the ground. The pain in the palm of the hand is like a tide, accompanied by soreness, numbness, itching...... Wave after wave hit.
This kind of pain made Sun Suhe want to cut off his hand immediately, he forced the last trace of clarity in his consciousness, and looked fixedly, only to see a green grass seedling growing in his palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Could it be Niancao? Sun Suhe held his breath and held his hand like Alice, but Niancao did not disappear as a particle of light as Sun Suhe expected. His fingers didn't touch anything, and he went straight through the nencao.
The pain has not diminished in the slightest, it is still real, and it is heart-wrenching. The nian grass in the palm of the palm is like a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water makes Sun Suhe unattainable.
The pain continued to erode Sun Suhe's last trace of will, and he felt that he was going to faint at any moment.
Give up, just faint like this, and you don't have to suffer this pain anymore when you faint. The idea of cowardly retreat inevitably comes and goes. However, a stubborn instinct in Sun Suhe's heart is like a sharp sword, constantly cutting off the idea of giving up.
Since it is physically impossible to interfere with it, let you see my mind. Sun Suhe's face was hideous, he gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes were fixed on Niancao, and he held on to a thought in his heart, scatter! scatter!
Nencho did react, and although the pain still did not subside, Nencho apparently stopped growing. It stretches its branches and leaves regularly, turning from virtual to solid, and each tremor makes the grass more solid. The green particles of light that had been floating beside Alice echoed it, and it was flickering and flickering. Before Sun Suhe could react, a stream of green light particles stretched out from the light cocoon, hovering and blending with the Nian Cao in Sun Suhe's palm.
In an instant, the pain was gone, or rather the pain was completely submerged. Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, endless fragments of information hit at the same time. Sun Suhe seemed to be thrown into the depths of the ocean of information in an instant.
Color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, law, the heavy mountain of information torrent desperately impacted Sun Suhe's brain, squeezing every inch of his consciousness in all directions. There was no room for resistance, Sun Suhe's brain could no longer hold on, and the instinct of physical self-preservation made him faint directly.
Eternal darkness envelops Sun Suhe, time, space, perception, and emotion...... Everything dissolves into nothingness, without any stimulation or feedback, his consciousness curls up, floats, aimless, exists only for the sake of being.
"It's better to just blend into the darkness, into the eternal tranquility. This thought constantly devoured the meaning of Sun Suhe's existence. I don't know how long it took, maybe I crossed the endless river of time, maybe it was just a moment in front of me, and suddenly, a coolness broke this unchanging nothingness.
Sun Suhe seemed to see a green light as warm as water flowing unhurriedly, his consciousness infiltrated it, and slowly, his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, all perceptions took the initiative to return.
Reunions after a long absence are the most exciting encounters. Sun Suhe couldn't wait to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be weighty, and no matter how much he called, there was no response, and a dark red occupied all the vision.
"Don't rush, take your time, I'm here, I'm here. Alice's gentle voice came, and Sun Suhe's anxious mood gradually calmed down. He felt Alice's breath, right in his ear. He felt Alice's hand gently on his forehead, and this was where the refreshing coolness came from.
Sun Suhe felt as if he had been pulled out of this body for a while, and now he was reconnecting with his body. This strange familiarity made him feel both new and a little frightened.
"Try it now, can you open your eyes?" Alice whispered into Sun Suhe's ear.
Blurry light and shadow appeared in front of me, like seeing flowers in the fog, the scene trembled, never real, but it was better than the unchanged dark red and darkness. Sun Suhe slowly concentrated, and his eyes were constantly adjusting his state. The scenery became clearer and clearer, and the familiar ceiling came into view, which made Sun Suhe feel at ease for a while.
"I ...... I...... What's wrong with me? Are you okay? What time is it now?" Sun Su closed his mouth, his voice hoarse and rough, as if he hadn't spoken for thousands of years, which made him himself feel shocked. But as he struggled to continue, his voice gradually returned to normal, albeit still a little weak.
Alice said softly, "It's 4:25 in the morning, and it won't be long. Don't worry, I'm fine, you'll be fine. It was just an accident, and I was negligent. ”
Sun Suhe struggled to get up, but his whole body was sore, so he had no strength, and every muscle and every inch of muscle seemed to be ravaged.
"What's going on?" Sun Suhe tried his best to remember, but there seemed to be countless fragments of information colliding with each other in his mind, making it difficult for him to effectively organize his memories for a while.
Alice brushed Sun Suhe's eyelids: "Close your eyes first, and I'll tell you what happened." From the moment I fainted, do you remember this?"
"Hmm. Sun Suhe replied affirmatively.
"I was injured in the process of being inexplicably thrown into this world, and although I have dealt with it, it still takes time to heal. At that time, the injury suddenly attacked, and the healing magic engraved on my body in advance forced me into a coma, and the magic circle as a protection was activated on its own. You must have seen me surrounded by many points of light. ”
Sun Suhe subconsciously wanted to nod, but his neck was sore, which made him gasp, and finally he could only hum softly in agreement.
"Does it matter if you're hurt? He asked with concern.
"Haha, did it scare you? It's not as serious as it seems. Alice is optimistic about her injury.
She continued: "The rest is my guess, but that's pretty much how it should be. After I fell unconscious, you came into contact with the defensive magic circle on my body. Originally, the magic circle should have blocked any attempt to get close to me. But your thoughts are of the same origin as mine. This impossible situation caused the magic circle to miscalculate. It can't tell if the person to be protected is inside or outside the formation. Therefore, the Nian Grass Seed, which is the basis of the magic array, has taken the initiative to parasitize your body and wants to communicate with your thoughts. ”
"Hey......" Alice sighed, "Although Nian Cao lives by devouring people's minds, it is actually a docile plant that is easy to manipulate for a skilled hand. But because you're parasitized for the first time, your brain can't handle the situation, so you overreact. I'm afraid you're feeling a lot of pain. Actually, Nencao does not harm the physical body. Well, sometimes some amputees will feel that the amputated part is still there and there is a strong pain, and your situation is similar, it is the result of a misjudgment of the brain. If it goes on like this, you should faint directly, but there will be no real damage to your body. ”
"No, I vaguely remembered, it wasn't that simple, later, later, later......" Sun Suhe tried to remember what happened later, but it was difficult, many fragments of memory flashed in his mind from time to time, making it difficult for him to sort out the memories after this.
Alice continued his words and said: "Later, you forcibly condensed your mind in severe pain, which allowed Niancao to be controlled, but your order did not match the magic array I set up in advance, so the magic array and Niancao fused and communicated, trying to determine the command received. I'm not sure what happened after that, maybe it was because your thoughts and mine had the same root and origin, and through the medium of reading grass, our minds were briefly connected. But because my mind has been tempered a lot of practice, it is much stronger than yours. So, it's as if a puddle of pond and the sea are briefly connected, and my memories, emotions, instantly flood into your brain, which overwhelms your brain to the point of forcing you unconscious to protect yourself. ”
"Then, why am I sore and weak now?" asked Sun Suhe.
"I've never seen this happen before, because it's not going to happen. However, don't worry, I just diagnosed you, and your body is actually fine. The pain and weakness you are feeling right now are due to an overreaction of your brain to a situation that is difficult to handle. Just wait a little longer, and when your brain adjusts and is able to accept the situation, everything will be back to normal. Speaking of which, I was really surprised by how quickly the human brain regulates itself. Don't wait too long, you'll feel better in no time. ”
