Xia felt as if she had had a long dream, and she remembered a lot of dusty past events in her dream.

The lost old Grand, the white figure soaring through the universe, the series of current events that occurred when he was drafted into the army, and the shattered corpses on the battlefield......

Blood, life, death, faith, struggle, hesitation.

One after the other, they floated past him, making him more and more confused.

He used his life to maintain the peace of the country, but the power in the military department was like a hidden blade that did not need to see blood, quietly slashing his heart one after another. He doesn't care about his promotion, let alone being used as a gun, he just hopes to do his best to appease those ordinary soldiers who throw their heads and spill their blood, but every year's summary meeting, no matter how he argues, the result is still in vain.

-- We have blood on our bodies for the sake of loyalty, but no one treats us as normal people. Since this is the case, just be an abnormal person, and since you have been incarnated as Shura, then fight to the end and never die!

This is a suicide note written by a soldier on his deathbed.

Every word was so vivid and powerful, and it poked in Xia's eyes fiercely, becoming a nightmare when he dreamed back at midnight.

Their faith was gradually eroded in the blur of flesh and blood, numbing death, accustomed to separation, life and survival were not a fighting goal, but another kind of silent torture.

The long-term depression could not be relieved, and they had to find other ways to vent, some took drugs, some gambled, and some self-harmed......

On the battlefield, this depression turns into deeper hatred, no matter whether the other party is old or weak, only killing can calm the madness in the heart.

Xia had seen too many such tragedies, and he was trying his best to avoid them, but every time he looked at their painful and helpless appearance in the prison cell, those admonitions that came to his lips were swallowed raw.

No one is born willing to kill, no matter what the purpose.

Old Grand once said. Soldiers take protection as their duty and loyalty as their faith. But if the guardian becomes a slaughter, and loyalty becomes a shackle, will his duties and beliefs still remain?

Such doubts are getting deeper and deeper. Like an invisible hand playing with his heart, he can still perform any task perfectly like no one. Whether it is assassination or slaughter, the knife falls in his hand, and his eyes do not blink much, and he is as sharp as a killing machine.

Yes, they've all become killing machines. Their allegiance to the empire remains the same.

Only in the face of death, their mentality has changed.

No more mercy, no more pity, the task is the task, and the soldier is the soldier.

Time is like a whetstone, sharpening them more and more.

But without the support of faith, they are like blades without scabbards, without restraints. Unbridled. No one can guarantee when they will destroy themselves.

The hesitation and fear in my heart are getting deeper and deeper.

In the darkness, Xia stood in place. Looking at the fading past in front of me, looking at those young lives who have disappeared in the flames of war, I don't know what to do.

Suddenly, all the fragments of memory shattered into powder, the darkness faded, and the surroundings became a familiar home, and a familiar slender figure appeared in front of them.

That's Jian Ling!

He was in ecstasy and strode over.

But before he could touch Jian Ling, a black mist with scarlet eyes came out and entangled Jian Ling. And then devour little by little.

Jian Ling just looked at him expressionlessly, as if looking at a stranger, she opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.

She's mouthing - I'm gone, goodbye.

Xia ran hard, but the road was unexpectedly long. No matter how long he ran, the distance between him and Jian Ling still did not shrink in the slightest.

Finally, the black mist swallowed Jian Ling cleanly, and the surrounding "home" collapsed and disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing behind.

Darkness again, boundless darkness.

The black mist widened its scarlet eyes and frantically opened its teeth and claws at him.

Xia's heart was full of fear, don't go, don't leave me alone......

The black mist began to change, changing into different faces, familiar or strange, comrades-in-arms, enemies, or innocent people...... They are all dead, and the expressions they look on when they die are clearly displayed in front of them at this moment.

A force stretched out from the black mist and pulled Shara through.

Since it's so painful to live, why not go to hell together?

The phantom of memory, turned into the deepest poison, as if hearing a cry of pain, coming from the depths of darkness, shattered, one after another, calling his name without stopping.

At this moment, a sharp pain slammed into his heart, causing him to suddenly open his eyes, his pupils suddenly constricted, and the whites of his red eyes almost burst into their sockets!

The nightmare is gone, and this is the isolation room!

At this moment, something was gnawing at his internal organs, and his muscles were torn hard.

Beneath the surface of his skin, there were a number of strips of mollusks floating, and the drumming of his face distorted his countenance, making him appear in a state of emptiness that seemed to be awake but not awake.

In the monitoring room, everyone stared at this phenomenon and started a new round of discussion.

Jian Ling stubbornly covered the finger that had been bitten by herself, and there was still a trace of blood on her fingertips - this was the one she had just used the power of the Gu worm to stimulate Xia's body and forcibly awaken him who was in a deep hallucination.

Fan Wei stood next to her, looking at the painful appearance on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of pain is really very imaginable, and if you are an ordinary person, you will not be able to endure it for a long time and become the nourishment of insects." General Xia's willpower is really tenacious, and after holding on for so long, the signs of life are still on the passing line, and he is worthy of being the youngest and most promising general in my country. ”

Jian Ling didn't speak, her eyes were still glued to the screen, looking at Xia's painful appearance, she almost felt it.

She kept silently chanting in her heart, "You must persevere", only hoping that with the help of the power of the Gu medicine, it could be transmitted to Xia's ears.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly someone said in surprise: "It's been nine hours!" ”

Is there still three hours?

Jian Ling secretly scolded this damn time, why did he go so slowly?!

But at this moment, Fan Wei glanced at the changes in his body data, and said in great surprise: "The signs of life of the parasites are weakening, according to the previous data analysis, this phenomenon should have happened in about eleven hours, how could it be two hours earlier?" Is there a mutation in the parasite?! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

At the time of logging, the verification of the data, the discussion and analysis of the discussion and analysis, the scene was busy, but the amount was not chaotic at all.

Jian Ling quietly touched the earrings when people were unprepared: "Barbara, is the Gu medicine working?" ”

"No, the concentration of the Gu medicine used by the master this time is very low, but the effect is several times stronger than that of ordinary cardiotonics, and it will not have a mutated effect on parasites."

Since it's not a matter of Gu medicine, could it be that Xia is desperately resisting these parasites while he is in a coma?!

Jian Ling looked at Xia on the screen in disbelief, a person can still mobilize his body to fight parasites when he is delirious? This is not only the physical quality, but also the powerful embodiment of willpower!

The results of other people's data analysis soon came out, and the conclusion was almost the same as Jian Ling's idea - it was Xia's body resisting the invasion of parasites!

stared blankly at Xia in the isolation room, looking at his painful appearance struggling on the verge of life and death.

No one could have imagined that human life could be so strong!

In the following time, within a minute, the parasite's vital signs became weaker, and in contrast, Xia's vital signs became stronger.

Little by little, inch by inch, in the tug-of-war of life, everyone was infected by this force and invariably stopped discussing.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Dead! The parasites are dead! ”

Jian Ling took a step forward suddenly, propped his hands on the console, his eyes were firmly fixed on the big screen in front of him, his eyes were already involuntarily red, although the expression on his face was still not obvious, but his heart was already so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Fan Wei hurriedly asked people to release Xia.

The isolation chamber was full of high-radiation rays, and it would be dangerous for a person to stay in it for a minute longer.

When Natsu was pushed out of the isolation room by the robot, he still kept twitching, his skin was jet black, and his face was emaciated and looked like a withered body. He opened his mouth in response to the researcher's question, his voice too soft to be heard.

Someone posted it curiously, but only heard two words - Jian Ling.

Jian Ling pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, looking at Xia who was already dying in front of her, she resisted the urge to cry, slowly stretched out her hand and put it in his palm.

As if in response to her, Xia's hand closed little by little, holding her hand without loosening or tightening.

His eyes were still wide open, staring unfocused, unsane.

But his hand kept holding Jian Ling's hand, so naturally, as if he had never let go.

Seeing this, everyone sighed.

Xia was soon sent to the custody unit, and Jian Ling had to break free of his hand and watch him leave.

Afterwards, all the people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they were used to doing all kinds of research before, and they always thought that life was extremely fragile, and all it took was a knife or a bottle of medicine to end it. But this time, Xia's tenacity made all of them admire it so much, and even when they continued to work, they all felt a little more strange out of thin air.

Confirming that Xia was completely out of danger, Jian Ling was ready to call His Majesty the Emperor to report his safety and tell him not to worry.

But what she didn't expect was that before the number was dialed out, the other side of the palace took the initiative to call.

His Majesty the Emperor's voice was very solemn: "Ah Ling, Ah Ran is missing with Xiao An." ”
