218 Residual Consciousness

The terrifying howls in the room suddenly became louder at this moment, and there was only a huge iron cage in the dark space. Inside was a male zombie who was slamming into an iron cage. Through the light pouring in from the door, Shen Yan'er saw that there were countless tearing marks on the clothes of the walking corpse, but in general they were quite neat, proving that someone often changed his clothes for him. That person may be the only Phoenix Ke who takes care of "him".

"How so...... Father ...... "Phoenix Nanhua's legs were weak, and he didn't dare to go in, so he held on to the door frame and stopped in astonishment. During the year, he was not prepared for the worst, but Bao Yin's testimony became an excuse for his self-comfort. However, when the truth is ruthlessly revealed, the facts in front of us are still so cruel.

The walking corpse in the iron cage was once the king of a country, and it was the father of Phoenix Nanhua, and the sunset became a monster that is now inferior to a beast, and the strong contrast is enough to shatter Phoenix Nanhua's will. However, in Shen Yan'er's eyes, the walking corpse in the iron cage is just a walking corpse. Although in Twilight's speculation, he may be his father, Shen Yan'er did not show too much pity and sorrow for the strange and miserable "monster" in front of her.

Shen Yan'er turned her head and looked at Phoenix Ke, who was staring at the walking corpse without saying a word, and asked: "He is dead, why is he still ......" According to Phoenix Ke's consistent style, such a walking corpse should have been buried by the head of the owl a long time ago, how could it be left until now?

Phoenix Ke didn't look at Shen Yan'er, still looking at the walking corpse that was constantly struggling in the iron cage and after death, and replied indifferently with an expressionless face: "I haven't ...... yet" His voice was calm and crazy, not caring what he said. Rather, as long as it is the words he says, it seems to be an unquestionable fact. "He didn't die, he was just poisoned. As long as he finds a way to detoxify, he can come back to life. ”

This is the reason why Phoenix Ke has never let others see the emperor. Perhaps deep down, Phoenix Ke himself is also warning himself over and over again: "He is dead!" There is no salvation! However, Phoenix Ke would rather kill these sanities than immerse himself in the illusory hope constructed by despair.

"He is different from ordinary walking corpses, and he still has a little human consciousness left, all thanks to the treatment and care of the Utchatians. But. The Ucha Celestial were never able to fully recover him. I don't know when he'll be healed......" Phoenix Ke's lips opened and closed slightly, and a low voice wrapped in a sigh came out. Other than that, there was no movement in his body, no matter how terrifying the roar of the walking corpses in the iron cage. He was accustomed to being indifferent. Standing dignified and proud by the door.

"When?" Phoenix Nanhua, who finally slowly recovered from the death-like shock, turned his head and glared at Phoenix Ke. It was evident from his angry gaze. He wanted to rush over and grab Phoenix Ke at this moment and question, but the lower half of his body was heavy and soft, and the soles of his feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds. But his legs were so weak that he couldn't lift them up or walk over.

"He was like this a year ago when I stopped letting anyone see him. In fact, his original appearance was even more terrifying, roaring and screaming like a wild beast, full of bloodthirsty killing intent for anyone, and even I couldn't get close. Now, however, he is much calmer......"

As if to prove his words, Phoenix Ke walked into the room as he spoke, grabbing the iron bar lightly. Shen Yan'er was so frightened that she shouted "Be careful", but before the words landed, the walking corpse in the iron cage had already opened its rotten black mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the fingers of Phoenix Ke on the iron bar!

Shen Yan'er was so frightened that her whole body shrank violently, and she didn't dare to continue looking. However, just before she could close her eyes, the reaction of the walking corpse made her stunned again.

The walking corpse did not bite off Phoenix Ke's fingers, but closed his mouth at the last moment. He stared at the phoenix, and unlike the other walking corpses, his gray-white eyes radiated a faint brilliance—proving that he did indeed have a small remnant of human consciousness.

It turned out that Phoenix Ke said that he was "just sick", not nonsense, but there was a certain truth. Because, he can at least recognize the phoenix.

After a moment's pause, the manic roar of the walking corpse faded into a mournful choked sob, sounding as if it was sobbing slightly. Even Shen Yan'er, who no longer treats the walking corpse as a human being, felt a trace of pity after hearing such a whimper.

Phoenix Ke looked at the emperor who was staring at him with gray-white pupils across the iron bar, endured the pain as if his throat was split, and said in a low voice: "Father, please wait for a while, the son will definitely find a way to save you......"

The picture in front of her evoked the most painful memory in Shen Yan'er's memory. That's when Yu'er died and became a walking corpse. Shen Yan'er looked at the concubine who was tied to the pillar in the corridor and could not do anything, how she longed that she could save her and restore her to normal, but she had nothing to do, and in the end she could only watch her struggle without being a ghost.

At that time, Phoenix Ke did not urge Shen Yan'er to kill Yu'er as much as possible, but left Shen Yan'er enough time to get along with Yu'er. Looking back now, the reason why Feng Feng Ke did that may be because he saw his own shadow in Shen Yan'er.

He understood Shen Yan'er's mood at that time. Because he is also like Shen Yan'er, waiting for a miracle to come in the dark abyss. There wasn't much he could do, most of the time waiting, waiting for the Wucha Celestials, waiting for Shen Yan'er, waiting for Xuan Li and Baoyin, waiting for the Black Blood Clan, to find a way for him to turn the walking corpse back into a human.

"So that's what you call 'more important things'......" Shen Yan'er finally understood the meaning of Feng Fengke's original words. In her eyes, the contours of Phoenix Ke's handsome side face became more resolute and tragic.

The reason why Phoenix Ke was able to retire so lightly was because he wanted to spend more time saving the emperor. In order to achieve this goal, he can use any means to force Shen Yan'er to leak secrets at the expense of Yu'er. It's a pity that Yu'er died, his goal was still not achieved, under the cover of that seemingly indestructible indifferent appearance, maybe he had deeply repented, but he didn't give himself a chance to turn back.

He is indeed cold-blooded, cold-blooded because of reason, and reason because of enlightenment. He knows better than anyone the horrors of the walking dead, so no one can understand his obsession.

"That's why you won't be allowed to see him. If you really want to save him, go to Jiyang Prefecture obediently......" Feng Feng Ke's attitude softened, and he was no longer the king who was high up and said the same, but stood in the position of his brother again, pleading with his younger brother.
