The Flame of All Things Chapter 35 – Wake Up

When he opened his eyes again, it was already noon, and the sunlight shone on the head of the bed through the white screen, Gu Xiaobei opened his eyes and found that he was wrapped in gauze.

He is now like a lump of white rice dumplings, lying quietly on the hospital bed.

"Awake?" The female nurse with the mask is always the first to show up when the patient wakes up.

"Where is this?" he asked.

"Comet City, the hospital next to your school. The female nurse glanced at him and continued to fill the bottle.

Comet City is the name of the city where Gusuri College is located. Because not far from here is an ancient crater, where the city existed in the previous feudal dynasties, and was named Comet.

"What time is it today. He continued

"Number Sixteen. ”

Without breaking his fingers, ten days had passed since the day the D-Class Mission Nightkin set off, so he should have been in the hospital for a week.

"You were seriously injured, you had a plaster cast on your left leg and ribs, but you recovered quickly, and it only took three days for the broken bones to heal, are all the people in the academy Xiaoqiang?" the female nurse said to him.

"I ......"

"What else do you want to ask?" the female nurse thrust the injection into the bottle, her brows locked.

"I want to go to the toilet. Gu Xiaobei said

"You wait, I'll ask your friend to help you solve it, you still don't get up like this. ”

After saying this, she pushed the cart and walked out.

After a while, a round-faced fat man with glasses squeezed in from outside the door, senior brother Ji Yuanyuan.

"Brother, how did you do this? I almost thought you were dead. Senior Brother Ji cried and rushed forward to hug Gu Xiaobei.

"Okay, okay, I'm really dead if I go down any longer. Gu Xiaobei felt a little out of breath.

"Why, a D-class mission is done to this point. After that, did the C-level one give his life to it?"

Gu Xiaobei didn't speak, staring at Ji Yuanyuan's eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like this?" the senior brother thought it was a little strange

Suddenly, it dawned on him that he remembered what the female nurse had just said to him at the door.

"Tell me, bottle or trash can?" said the senior brother smiled.

"Help me up. Gu Xiaobei looked at him helplessly.

The senior brother helped Gu Xiaobei limp to the toilet.

Although his whole body was covered in white bandages, his limbs were able to move smoothly. Occasionally, the hospital would admit seriously injured patients who had returned from the college. Most of them recover quickly, and the bloodline of the Wu clan has a strong ability to regenerate.

In addition to those students who traveled with him, most of the people in the training camp who had some friendships in the same period and were in the academy came to visit Gu Xiaobei. Even their lazy teacher, "Moto-Kama", appeared at the hospital bed for the first time.

It's a pity that Gu Xiaobei was in a coma at that time, otherwise he would definitely feel flattered. In fact, this D-class mission has exploded in the same level group.

The misassessment of the mission center system, the death of four academies, the serious injury of one student, and what is even more terrifying is that this mission actually involves the academy's S-class investigation commission.

"You know what? how amazing your actions were. Senior brother began to pick up Gu Xiaobei's fruit plate, I don't know who sent it, it looks quite fresh.

"What's amazing?" Gu Xiaobei remembered this operation, and his mood was a little low.

"It's a little famous in the entire academy, and half of the D-class mission eight are dead. Commissioner Bolley applied for resignation from the position of Commissioner. ”

"......" He didn't speak, the scar on his ribs was aching, and the image of the claws tearing through his body would come to his mind at any moment.

"The most important thing is that your operation has something to do with the Academy's S-Class Investigation Commission. The senior brother didn't notice that he was depressed, and he talked vigorously.

"S-class, S-class! Senior brother, you will not die this time, which is equivalent to indirectly completing the task that has a companion relationship with the S-class task!. Are you listening to me?"

"Hmm. ”

No matter what ABCD level he is, no matter how powerful the task is, what's the use? Gu Xiaobei suddenly felt that this world was a little unreal, and many things suddenly appeared and disappeared silently.

If it hadn't been for that accident, he wouldn't have had these things in his life. There will be no days in the West Mountain, let alone a death like the one now.

He had been lonely for many years, and he said that he finally had some decent friends, but on the first mission, those people were gone without a trace.

"Senior brother...... Don't be sad, I understand. This time, the mission was rated the wrong level, and "Nightcrawler" was added to the C level. All surviving members will be assigned a C qualification. You and the commissioners are now a starting line. ”

The senior brother looked at him wilting there, his eyes were ownerless, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable, but he didn't know what to say.

In fact, he himself had experienced the grief of his teammate's death, but his situation was really different from Gu Xiaobei, so he didn't bring it personally.

"Operations Section...... That's it, every moment someone could die. It could be anyone around you, even a deputy minister or minister, we are destined to go to the battlefield. ”

The senior brother patted him on the shoulder, and his hand was a little light and heavy.

Gu Xiaobei was in pain, and his tears were about to be squeezed out.

"Think of something good, people can't be resurrected after death. ”

This time, Gu Xiaobei did not recover quickly, and his body and mind fell into an extremely exhausted state after the death battle.

"Teacher Yuan Kao said that there are problems with many of your tasks in this issue, you are the most serious, and the abilities of all D-class targets are almost straight after C-level, if the academy does not have a provision for a commissioner to lead the team to carry out the task, then it is estimated that many people will die this time. ”

"It's ...... What's going on?"

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the Academy's S-class mission, the King-level Beast: Qi Qi. ”

"That's not our business. ”

"The academy has issued a red alert, and all mission levels will be reassessed......" he continued. Because that's really not their business.

Gu Xiaobei said that he was going to sleep, so the senior brother had to walk out in a gloomy manner, and brought some piled up gifts by the way. Anyway, Gu Xiaobei doesn't want these things, he doesn't take them for nothing.

The curtains were drawn, and the entire ward was once again completely cut off from the outside world, and he needed to calm down. Give yourself a break.

But as soon as the futon was covered, the bright moonlight shone in. Which annoying guy pulled the curtain open for me?Gu Xiaobei thought to himself.

A figure sat in the window.

"That's nice, Moonlight. He snapped.

Gu Xiaobei opened his eyes and looked outside, the crescent moon was like a hook, a little red. The clouds are half-obscured, like the head of a scythe.

"I'm tired and need to rest. ”

In fact, there is nothing to see, Gu Xiaobei turned around and closed his eyes.

"You've rested for tens of thousands of years, aren't you...... Isn't that enough?"

Consciously, the man asked.

"But I'm really sleepy. ”

"Sleeping...... Just to come back. ”

"Stop arguing, isn't there anything to talk about tomorrow?"

"We've been waiting for a long, long time......" The voice sounded so sad, as if it carried tens of thousands of years of loneliness.

"It doesn't matter if you wait another day. ”

"I'm here to say goodbye to you...... I have to go. His voice was soft.

"Where are you going, wait, won't you wait until tomorrow? I'm really tired." ”

"Goodbye, my friend. I'm going to do what I have to do. ”

"What's so important that you can't even wait a night?"

"Let's hope we can meet again. ”

It was really sad, as if a bottle of bitter potion had been knocked over in his heart, Gu Xiaobei felt that his chest was full of sadness.

He awoke from his dream.

The moonlight outside the window shone down on his face. The curtains fluttered in the wind, but there was no one sitting on the windowsill.

Or maybe the people there are really gone.

"Is it Chaos?" he asked

But Chaos never spoke in that gentle way, and every time Chaos appeared, it was extremely mean or mocking.

So who is it?

He walked to the bedside, and suddenly he lost all his sleepiness, and a cold welled up in his heart.

Outside, the streets are a little bustling, and people are just starting to get started with their nightlife at this time.

"It's going to rain. The aunt downstairs shouted.

So many people came out to collect their clothes.

It's weird, what kind of dream is this? Gu Xiaobei scratched his head and turned back to the bed.
