403 The Truth About the Knowles Brother and Sister Honey Meow Plus More Chapter
After taking the fourth antipyretic pill, she fell asleep for a few more hours, and when Lin Sanjiu woke up in a daze again, she felt that her high fever had finally subsided.
The body stopped shivering for a while, and the muscles no longer burned like fire...... She let out a hoarse sound from her throat, casting her barely clear gaze to her side.
It was a cramped crew cabin, except for the single bed on which she was lying, except for a small folding board table attached to the cabin, and a chair, which was dyed orange in the twilight peeping through the small window.
Obviously, the person who took care of Lin Sanjiu had just left, and at this moment there was still half a glass of warm water on the small table, as well as a dazzling array of medicine boxesβjudging from the color and packaging, these medicines were probably produced in many different countries before the end of the world, and the degree of newness and oldness was also very different.
Lin Sanjiu propped up his body with his arms and sat up slowly, but as soon as he sat up straight, his mind was dizzy, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Blinked vigorously, and after this period of drowsiness subsided, Lin Sanjiu touched his back with his backhand.
Ever since she had blown the bone wings off in the mirror space, the stubble at the base of the bones that remained on her back had fallen off at some point - the skin had re-covered the place where the bone wings had grown, and it was smooth to the touch.
β¦β¦ Did Mr. Yi successfully put away the bone wings?
She sat a little dazed for a while, and she asked Teacher Yi several times in her mind - but these calls were like a stone sinking into the sea, and she did not get any response.
As the "image" incarnated by Lin Sanjiu's subconscious. There is always some connection between Teacher Yi and her conscious mind, even if Teacher Yi doesn't show up or speak, it still exists in the subconscious, and Lin Sanjiu vaguely knows that she has always been there.
Only this time, the dark sea of consciousness seemed to engulf her summoning in an instant, and she didn't even feel the presence of the teacher at all.
Lin Sanjiu subconsciously grabbed the sheets, and suddenly became a little scared.
β¦β¦ What about Mr. Yi?
She screamed several more times in her head, and when a bead of sweat slipped faintly on her back, Teacher Yi's voice finally appeared in her mind again.
"You-you're awake-......"
Lin Sanjiu just breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly froze in his chest.
It's like the signal is bad. Ms. Yi's voice rang out intermittently and flutteringly, like a radio wave that was about to disappear - but after a few seconds, her voice was clear and stable again.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Sanjiu had never seen such a teacher, and couldn't help but panic: "...... Why didn't I feel you just now? β
"Mr. Lin." Mr. Yi's tone sounded a different kind of seriousness. He even used the title that he hadn't used for a long time: "...... You know that you didn't go right in the first two days, right? β
Of course Lin Sanjiu knewβeven she only had to remember it a little. It was a wonderfully chaotic, blood-red feeling that seemed to overwhelm her again in no time.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked hurriedly.
"I have to cut a long story short, I'm afraid my chances of showing up are running out." Teacher Yi's voice was very fast: "Ever since your body was invaded by the cellular fluid that carries Nuwa's consciousness, I have been using your consciousness to suppress and resist it...... Nuwa's consciousness is too aggressive. I can't be banished, so I have to keep fighting it and fend off its attacks...... That's why you don't feel much of an impact other than growing a pair of bone wings. β
No wonder the teacher often doesn't show up-Lin Sanjiu listened in a daze.
"I don't know what stimulated this combination of genes and consciousness - maybe it was our attempt at particle recombination, maybe it was the immune response of the bone wing being blown up - in short, Nuwa's consciousness became more and more active and difficult to control from the time she was in the mirror space. It wasn't until you were finally overwhelmed and there was confusion in your emotions and mentality that Nuwa's consciousness immediately took advantage of the weakness and affected your state of mind all at once. β
"However, thanks to the blessings of the Knowles brothers and sisters, your emotions have finally calmed down, and your mind has not been eroded too much by Nuwa's consciousness...... But the consequences are far from simple. Teacher Yi sighed, as if he didn't know how to say it. β¦β¦ Nuwa has already put her hand in your head once, and even now she has to pull it out, but it has left a channel in your mind - the next time she wants to come in, it will be ten times easier than before. The disappearance of your bone wings is completely unaffected by us, and it is all determined by Nuwa's consciousness......"
An alien consciousness can actually determine one's physical appearance at will-Lin Sanjiu was not trivial, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't there anything we can do?" β
I only heard the sound of "popping sand", as if the current was unstable, and Mr. Yi's voice was spent again. This time, along with her strange appearance, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head-
"All we can do now is to defend passively," after finally stabilizing down, Teacher Yi said anxiously: "I am the only barrier between your subconscious and Nuwa, and I bear the brunt, so I will be the most attacked......
Lin Sanjiu clenched his hands tightly, and listened to Teacher Yi's voice suddenly become solemn: "Before I leave, you must remember one crucial thing: your [Consciousness Mechanics Hall] is still in the elementary school stage, when you hear my voice again, if Iβ"
Her words were cut off.
It was as if the mute button had been pressed suddenly, and Mr. Yi's voice disappeared without warning, leaving only a dark silence in his mind.
Lin San only reacted after a while, this "crucial" matter had sunk into her subconscious along with Teacher Yi.
What will happen next time? If Teacher Yi fails, what will become of him?
She lowered her head in a daze. His eyes fell on his hands, and his heart sank more and more.
Under the pale skin due to massive blood loss, there are faint bruises from blood vessels; It may seem strange to describe it this way, but her limbs are quietly trapped in this single bed at this time - Lin Sanjiu can hardly even imagine what kind of war is going on in his body.
It's just that she can't help anything.
Sitting in place and stunned for a while, Lin Sanjiu was finally pulled back to his thoughts by bursts of hunger and weakness, and got out of bed and walked out of the crew room.
At the beginning of twilight, half of the ship was immersed in the orange of the setting sun. It was originally a small cargo ship. There aren't many places that can accommodate people. Walking down the corridor for a while, Lin Sanjiu found the Knowles brothers and sisters and Ji Shanqing who were eating with several crew members in the dining room used by the crew.
The white light and the aroma of food, accompanied by the sound of tableware colliding, pulled her back to the world at once.
"You're awake! You've been sleeping for more than a day! Lou Qin's eyes lit up. Hurriedly walked up. tiptoe touched her forehead; I saw that her fever had subsided. Immediately, he seemed to be greatly encouraged, and said with a smile: "Come, sit down!" I know you probably don't have a good appetite right now. But it's better to eat something......"
Unable to resist her enthusiasm, Lin Sanjiu found an empty seat and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Ji Shanqing suddenly leaned over with a face.
"What's wrong with you?" The gift bag is not only quick to think, but also very observant: "Why do some gods seem to be unwilling?" β
"It's nothing, it's just not feeling well." Lin Sanjiu dealt with it vaguely, and then took the canned juice that Lou Ye handed her.
It had only been more than a day since they left the island, and the expressions of the Knowles brothers and sisters were much lighter, and even their faces were brighter, and they finally looked like a pair of teenagers again-although Lin Sanjiu was full of thoughts at this time, she was somewhat comforted when she saw the two children smiling on their faces again.
Thanks to the fact that the captain of this ship had no knowledge of the war slave training camp, they only needed to use the red crystal, and the few of them were treated very well: at this time, there was not only hot pumpkin soup, steamed meat sausages, fried noodles made with instant noodles, but even a plate of smooth egg beef, which was very rare even in the Twelve Realms.
"These fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, medicines, ......" After Lin Sanjiu took a bite of beef, almost even his tongue melted into its umami, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why are there so many?" Could it be that in the Twelve Realms, there are many evolutionaries who are still engaged in production? β
The end of the red nautilus has been coming for a long time, and judging by its population, it shouldn't have so many pre-apocalyptic supplies left.
"Miss Lin, it seems that you are really here for the first time," the captain with a sparse gray beard at the other end of the table smiled: "Although there are people engaged in production, they are far from enough to consume, and there are many variables in delaying time." The imbalance of supplies in the red nautilus is not a matter of one or two days...... More evolutionaries are taking advantage of the opportunity of the world transformation to carry out material management. β
"How do you run it?" Lin Sanjiu looked at the table of dishes, curious, and even the uneasiness caused by Teacher Yi was slightly alleviated.
Hearing this, the Knowles brothers and sisters suddenly coughed and glanced at each other, and Lou Ye opened his mouth a little embarrassed.
"That's right...... You've been in a coma before, and we haven't had a chance to talk ......about it," the boy scratched his head and said, "You know, we're almost on the verge of teleportation - now that the Alliance of Growers of the Nautilus Realm is dead in name, and we don't want to go back, so Aqin and I are planning to live by reselling supplies." β
"It's easy to resell supplies," Lou Qin explained, "to arrive at a human society six months before the end of the day, and then start collecting as many supplies as possible; When the transmission date arrives, return to the Twelve Realms through a visa...... As long as you inquire about the information of the visa officer in advance, basically the risk is not great, and there are many people in the Twelve Realms who do this. β
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was almost time for them to separate again.
β¦β¦ However, compared with the rabbits and puppeteers who don't know where they are, the choice of the Knowles brothers and sisters is indeed safe and safe, and it is indeed the best way.
They were born in the red nautilus, and they should have lived a relatively stable life; You can't let them go around and risk with you.
She suppressed the emotion in her heart and was about to say something. I only heard a sudden "dang" sound around me, and when I looked back, I saw Ji Shanqing putting down the glass in his hand - his face was expressionless, but a pair of eyes were looking at him brightly.
Lin Sanjiu didn't care, turned his head and asked, "...... Is it too late for you to find a visa now? β
"Oh, don't worry about this," Lou Qin patted her hand comfortingly, "We got our visas long before this happened." β
Nodding. Although some are reluctant to have two children. However, Lin Sanjiu still felt relieved.
I don't know if it was because I ate a fresh hot meal, or because of the Knowles brothers and sisters, a heart that was lifted finally fell back into my stomach, Lin Sanjiu actually cared about the teacher's matter, and still slept very peacefully-when the sky was bright again. The group has landed in the free zone without any problems.
Maybe it's because of the relationship between going back and forth to the war slave training camp. The cargo spacecraft was still far from the center of the free zone; Because Lin Sanjiu was going to find the rabbit next, the party left the news through Xiaoyi. And the Knowles brothers and sisters had to collect some necessary props for reselling materials, and the difference between the two sides came one step earlier than the teleportation date.
"Be careful," Lin Sanjiu dragged his still bandaged body. hugged the two children fiercely: "When I find my friend, let's meet again in the red nautilus." β
The eyes of the two children also turned red, each biting their lips, and stood beside Lin Sanjiu for a long time without moving.
"Let's go, let's go," Lin Sanjiu pushed the brother and sister away like a hen chasing a chicken, "There are still many opportunities to meet in the future." β
The two figures, who looked very thin from their torture, walked out for a long distance before the girl suddenly jerked her shoulders and buried her head in her arms.
Lin Sanjiu stood in place until he could no longer see them, until he felt that his eyes were a little sour, and then he withdrew his gaze.
With a sigh, she turned her head, but she happened to meet Ji Shanqing's clear eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked not too much interested. "What are you looking at me for?"
ββ¦β¦ Don't you think it's a little weird? β
"What's weird?"
Ji Shanqing sighed softly and followed Lin Sanjiu's footsteps: "I told you the truth, don't you dismantle me." β
"Don't dismantle it, you say." Lin Sanjiu replied casually. The gift bag is young and has never seen anything, so it feels novel to see everything - so even if it is clear that Ji Shanqing has something to say in her heart and has not said it for a few days, she has not asked.
Ji Shanqing thought about it, as if he was a little uneasy--but he obviously decided to believe Lin Sanjiu once, and said cautiously: "...... I don't know if you've found out, even though there are a lot of supplies left in the war slave training camp, the Kuo brothers and sisters are still the only two of all the war slaves who are willing to return to the iron cage. β
Lin Sanjiu paused.
"Mature slaves probably wouldn't mind going back to the iron cage - but the two children were clearly not fully domesticated; But compared to other war slaves who hate and fear, they don't seem to mind the iron cage very much......" Ji Shanqing said as he looked at Lin Sanjiu's expression.
"Generally speaking, people try to avoid things that remind them of tragic memories, let alone go back to the place where the nightmare happened...... But not only did they not avoid it, but they even offered to stay in it for two days, isn't it strange? β
"What do you want to say?" Lin Sanjiu's face had completely turned cold, and he stared at the gift bag deadly. "Do you want to say that they are not war slaves, but trainers?"
"No, no," Ji Shanqing hurriedly shook his head, and subconsciously tightened his belt in his hand: "At a glance, you can see that of course they are not trainers...... It's just that so many things have happened, and I think their attitude is a bit too understated-ah, don't look at me like that, forget it, I won't say anything about these unfounded, but there is another suspicion that can't be explained. β
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything, his face was cold and hard, and he didn't know if he had listened or not.
"When everyone enters the war slave training camp, their belongings will be looted...... Ji Shanqing said carefully, "but why do they still have visas in their hands?" β
Lin Sanjiu twisted his head suddenly, his face was cloudy, and he was obviously finally impatient to listen to it again: "What do you want to say?" Maybe they didn't worry me, maybe they got it back after the fact - don't waste my time if you only have some! β
Ji Shanqing choked, as if he was frightened by her momentum, obediently lowered his head, and sure enough, he didn't say anything anymore - glaring at him fiercely, Lin Sanjiu turned around and walked forward without saying a word.
Behind her, the gift bag couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, sighed softly in her heart, and followed.
It seems that a rain has just fallen in the free zone, the ground is wet, and the sky has been washed clean, showing a clear blue color. A few faint clouds floated slowly in the sky, as if they could dissipate at any moment and become a sigh in people's ears.
A few days later, under another blue sky that was almost the same indifference, the Knowles brothers and sisters, who had just completed the teleportation, were walking in this strange land while searching for something with a somewhat dazed gaze.
"We didn't tell her the truth, and I always felt a little guilty." After the two walked wordlessly for a while, Lou Ye suddenly said this in a low voice.
The girl didn't say anything for a long time, only the lines of the side face were tense.
Between the brother and sister, there was silence again.
ββ¦β¦ She's a rare good person, but she's not going to understand. As he walked, Lou Qin suddenly broke the silence without warning.
Lou Ye let out a long sigh: "...... I know. β
It was as if the conversation could no longer go on at this pointβthe sound of the wind approaching from a distance, and suddenly the broken hair on the foreheads of the brother and sister was curled; The monotonous sound of footsteps traveled far and wide.
"Did you see her?" After a long time, Lou Ye couldn't help but ask.
Lou Qin stopped and looked left and right, "Strange...... Okay, it should be around here......"
"It seems to be there!" Lou Ye squinted, suddenly stabbed his sister, and pointed not far ahead.
Looking in the direction he pointed, Lou Qin's eyes widened suddenly.
A well-proportioned woman, with her back to them, stood on a half-broken bridge in the distance, looking at the rolling sea below the bridge - as if sensing someone coming behind her, she tilted her head slightly, revealing her soft, calm eyebrows.
With the shallow lines at the corners of her eyes, she provoked a unique smile - both compassionate and cold. (To be continued.) )
PS: I feel like I've finally squeezed out all the awkward parts, so I shouldn't be so tormented next...... I've been so miserable to write the last few chapters, and no matter how I write them, it's a bit boring, but there are so many things that I can't help but explain...... It's a long transition...... Apparently you feel the same way, because my subscriptions keep dropping! Don't explain, I don't listen!
If you don't know who the woman at the end is, I'm going to eat myself alive.
I also returned a money jar, and I received another one today, hahaha, thank you for washing it! Look at it and you're a new reader! Please be sure to continue to love me, continue to send packages, and continue not to rush more......
