Chapter 13: Red Departure
I don't know if it's because she came to the Valley of Bones a little later in this life, but the dozens of active consciousness bodies that she clearly felt in the previous life have all dissipated, including the only person named Li Fei who she saved in the previous life......
Did I come a step too late for them to dissipate? Li Nian drilled the tip of the horns, feeling very lost, self-blaming and sad......
"It's just that the other people who have never been saved are just that, Li Dragon, I must think of a way again." Li Nian sat on the ground, leaning on Sang's body and closing his eyes to recuperate, time is running out, today is the fourteenth day, and if he doesn't want to do anything else, he won't have a chance.
In the dark night, Li Nian's thin and shapeless face was yellow, and when he opened his eyes, he was dark and dark, and he was terrifying, completely devoid of softness.
Sang didn't understand why Li Nian was so persistent in saving them from these machines? Just for three illusory promises? Did she know that if one day the people of the Empire knew what she had done, she would be a sinner of the Empire?
"Since you are so grateful, then repay me well in the future." Li Nian changed the topic like this every time.
"Sinners? Imperials? In the ephemeris XXI century I have no country. Li Nian sneered in his heart. Thinking of herself who was completely used and abandoned by the empire in her previous life, and thinking of the dozens of consciousness bodies who died to save her, and her unfulfilled promise...... She has no psychological burden at all.
"......" Sang knew Li Nian's stubbornness, and he couldn't convince Li Nian to leave. But seeing that she was so thin that she would leave as soon as the wind blew it, he couldn't let it go, and sent away the other 7 people who had recovered from the machine, and Sang decided to accompany her until the last moment......
"Sang, you hold me in a circle at the bottom of the valley, I compress my mental power to a range of 10 meters, so that I can triple the resonance frequency, do you think this is feasible?" Li Nian jumped up suddenly, looking at Sang excitedly, his eyes sparkling in the dark night.
"We will look for an area of 100 miles into blocks, and we will mark the coordinates of each one until we find it, which I think is feasible." Sang affirmed Li Nian's thoughts.
"Alright, let's get started." Do what you say, success or failure is here.
"......" Sang wanted Li Nian to rest again, but in the end he didn't speak. To a man who burned his life to save them, he somehow stopped it......
Although Li Nian felt that she had never suffered like this, she still had gains, and in hundreds of overdrafts, overdrafts, and restorations, she seemed to have found a way to upgrade her spiritual power.
Now, her mental power is already D-level, and her recovery speed has doubled......
In fact, Li Nian's upgrade method is not something that no one has thought of, but the actual results show that after more than 5 overdrafts, brain function begins to disorder, and more than 10 overdrafts have a high probability of mental failure. Therefore, even in a fight, people are accustomed to leaving a trace of mental power to save their lives.
However, Li Nian completely ignored this kind of law that everyone tacitly acquiesce, and this situation will definitely cause an uproar if the people of the empire know it.
However, with Li Nian's low profile, she will never let the empire find out for the rest of her life.
"San, move three meters closer to the right, I seem to feel something......" Li Nian instructed Sang to approach the place she requested. They had searched 20 areas in a row, and Li Nian felt the familiar sting again. I don't know if it's numb after a lot of pain, after she just started to overdraw her mental strength, her brain that would hurt was blank, but now even if it hurts, she can smile like no one.
Sang hugged the thin Li Nian, like a fragile doll, and carefully moved 3 meters to the right, for fear that the slightest bump would bring an extra burden to Li Nian.
"It's powerful, it's chaotic." Li Nian didn't know if this was the Li Dragonfly she was looking for, the Li Dragon's consciousness body in the previous life was strong but unconscious, so it was easy to fuse it with the core, and this consciousness body was powerful and irritable and chaotic......
Li Nian didn't know if he could wake him up smoothly, or if he could first separate a trace of spiritual power and slowly test the temptation.
"Ah......" Just when Sang was about to remind Li Nian to be careful, Li Nian had a problem, screamed, and rolled down the corpse mountain from Sang's arms.
"Li Nian, Li Nian......" Sang called Li Nian's name one after another, and kept using his mental power to relieve Li Nian's pain, but this usually effective method was completely useless this time.
Li Nian still kept rolling, banging his head on the ground. In order to prevent Li Nian from further self-harm, Sang only tightly imprisoned Li Nian.
"What should I do? How can I help Li Nian? Even at the moment of death, Sang never panicked, and now, the wails in his ears and the screams made him feel numb.
For the first time, Sang wished that he was still the same one-eyed person, as long as he did things according to a fixed procedure, wasn't that the case, and he didn't have to experience the feeling that life was worse than death......
In fact, Li Nian's trace of spiritual power was pulled closer to an unfamiliar space.
"Hongli, do you know why our Hong family has been victorious and undefeated for two thousand years?" An angular man in his mid-thirties asked the boy standing at his desk.
The boy is only fourteen or fifteen years old, the slightly raised corners of his eyes, the handsome and unparalleled temperament, although immature but already in his prime, if he grows up, he doesn't know how to bewitch.
"Father, please." Although the boy was respectful, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
Looking at the corners of the boy's secretly upturned mouth, Li Nian was also happy for him. This is the rhythm of the father entrusting the heavy responsibility to the son, why not mention the family history?
"There will always be only one heir to our red family, so there will never be a struggle within the family." Li Nian nodded, this also makes sense. From ancient times to the present, the decline of the family began from within. However, isn't this father worried that the only heir will die in an accident or that he can't support Adou?
"Father, there are now two descendants of the Hong family, since only one descendant is allowed, what is Han'er?" Hongli was intuitively ominous.
"You and Han'er are both selected from tens of millions of people in the Hong family, and they have the purest bloodline and the best genes of the Hong family, and they are not willing to give up any one of them as their father." The man's cold and hard face softened a little, but Li Nian's heart was cold.
Li Nian remembered a rumor that in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the big family all married close relatives, and in order to maintain the excellence of the genes, they cultivated tens of millions of embryos at the same time, and then selected the best one among them......
She estimated that this Hongli and that Honghan were born in this way, and now, do you have to choose one or the other again? Li Nian was worried about the teenager.
"The rules of the Hong family cannot be abolished, and now the elders of the Red family have made a decision, either you die or Han'er dies." Is this the father? Li Nian was suspicious, because she couldn't see a trace of hesitation and struggle in the man's eyes.
"Father, I can leave and never come back, and besides, I won't fight with Han'er for anything......" The boy looked at his usually omnipotent father pleadingly, and there was not a trace of blood on his face. At this time, he was the only one here, and the family's choice was clear at a glance, and he was abandoned.
Although he grew up accepting that "family interests are driven by personal interests", but his life is about to end worthlessly, he still can't help but complain: since the family has already stipulated, why did you bring him to this world?
"Li'er, it is also heartbreaking to give up your father, and the elders will be too angry." The man slapped his palm hard, and the retro carved mahogany desk became a piece of debris.
"Li'er, if you want to live, there is another way......" The man walked back and forth in the study like a trapped beast, and finally made up his mind, "The new technology developed by our Hong family can attach people's souls to the machine, as long as the rules are set that will never harm the interests of the Hong family, the elders may agree." It's just that this way is too painful......"
"Father, no matter how much pain it is, I want to live." Li Nian looked at the young man's hopeful eyes, and secretly let go of his heart.
The scene changed, and Li Nian followed Hongli to the real yàn room.
The boy was lying on the white platform, next to him was the familiar biological machine, Li Nian was excited, that was the Li dragon she was looking for, it turned out that Hongli was Li Li.
The real yàn began, and one by one the real yàn personnel probed their spiritual power into Hongli's brain, and pulled it out little by little and transferred it to the core of the machine. It was at this time that Li Nian was pulled into Hongli's body.
"Ah......" Li Nian couldn't help screaming, this was the worst pain she had ever experienced in her life, and she wanted to crush her brain and eat it.
Li Nian struggled in pain for a whole month, almost losing his spirits......
And in this process, Hongli didn't make a sound......
The scene is transformed again, and the core is entered into rules and instructions.
Gradually, Li Nian, who was imprisoned in the Hong family, found that the smell of blood on Hongli's body became stronger and stronger, and his eyes became more and more indifferent, until he was desolate......
Until one day, he was abandoned to the Valley of Bones......
Li Nian woke up, without saying a word, and mobilized his spiritual power to pacify the rioting consciousness over and over again, until the consciousness body fell into a deep sleep again, fusing him with the core......
Looking at Li Li, whose head was half rotten and a big hole in his chest was broken, now called Li Li, Li Nian decided to take him back to the inner city.
The red dragonfly in the netherworld stream has been feeling irritable for some reason for half a month, and it can't even be interested in teasing Li Nian, but at that moment, it finally settled down.
"I don't need to know about the outside world?" The desert-like eyes of the red dragonfly looked at the sky, which was still as blue as a wash.
