It's been a long time since Sora came into this world. Maybe for him, being here is a gorgeous dream in itself.

Thoughts flutter lightly, dreams glitz and float. The void seems to have fallen into a deep hole of vertiginity and emptiness, the fragments of memory flickering messily around him, the past and the present, as if time is separated by the smoke and dust of the pavement, and the truth cannot be assembled.

In the darkness, there was a voice......

"Empty—"

Who is it? Who's calling me?

This voice has never been heard before, but it is very familiar, so familiar that it rings in his ears every day, so familiar that he doesn't know how to forget it.

"Empty-empty-empty......"

She just called his name over and over again, and gradually, the voice seemed to come from the top of the clouds, with an ethereal phantom sound, farther and farther away in the blur......

Who is it! Who are you!

Sora asked, the river of consciousness began to rush, and the iceberg of thought was melting. Suddenly, he realized that everything was just a bubble, and it disappeared into chaos.

"Hmm......" There was a faint moan from the empty space in the hospital bed, and he struggled to sit up, but his whole body was so sore that it felt like he had been run over by a wheel.

Where am I?

A sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart, making him a little irritable, feeling like he had just crossed over, unable to speak, unable to touch, unable to look, unable to turn his heart, unable to control himself.

However, Sora was not the baby he was at that time, and he slowly calmed down and waited for his senses to recover. Hearing was the first to integrate with the vestibular organs, and the sound of disturbance rang in his ears, causing his head to tingle. He struggled to lift his hand to rub his swollen temples, but unexpectedly found that he had an infusion tube tied to his hand.

"Drip-Drip-Drip......"

The sound is an ECG monitor in the hospital, which is specially used to observe the heart rate changes of critically ill patients.

Hospital? It's last night's Big Bang!

With the return of hearing and touch, his mind is clear, and more and more consciousness is returning. Sora remembered that last night, due to his negligence, he didn't notice that there were still enemy spirits hiding near the battlefield, and as a result, he only had time to hold Nana and Nini in his arms when he was hit head-on by the [Big Explosion] of gas bombs.

That's right! What about Nana?

"Na...... Ahem, Nana......" he called her name in a hoarse voice.

No response.

Sora suddenly became nervous, a kind of uneasiness that no one knows, and only a traverser can experience. It requires some strong spiritual reliance to alleviate it, not by will or faith, but by habit.

That's what Nana is all about.

Sora is used to breakfast being woken up by her cool little tongue; accustomed to two "people" eating together, and then wiping the rice from the corners of her mouth; accustomed to the cute figure on the shoulders when commuting to and from school; used to the days without an umbrella, take her to run and dodge; accustomed to hugging her warm body before going to bed; Got used to it......

So he will be restless, insecure, restless, unstable, not quiet, restless, uneasy. This feeling of uneasiness continued to amplify in the heart until ......

"Huh?" A familiar voice came to my ears.

"Whew-" Sora let out a long sigh of relief, feeling all the uneasiness dissipate like the wind, and the sense of security returned, even though the darkness was still shrouded in front of him, there was light in his heart.

The next moment, there was a wet and cool touch on my face.

"Babble~"

Nana's voice was joyful and anxious. Sora naturally thought that he must be looking very bad now, so he moved his hands and feet. Fortunately, the units responded to the brain as soon as possible, which made him feel at ease.

So the rest of the question is......

Sora lifted his sore arm to touch his face, which was wrapped in gauze. He tried to open his eyes, and there were dots of light in the darkness through the gaps in the gauze.

At least not completely blind. As long as the eyes can still react to light, there is no problem with the medical level of this world.

"Empty? Are you awake? "This eager voice is my grandmother.

Sora was about to turn his head, but the soreness in his neck made him give up the action, and he had to lie on his back on the bed and answer in a weak voice, "Well, grandma." How long have I been sleeping? ”

"10 hours." Takashime's voice came closer, and Sora felt like she was struggling to keep herself calm.

"This is the intensive care unit of Tokiwa Daiichi Medical Center. Don't move, I'll call the nurse. With that, she rang the bedside pager, and soon there was footsteps at the door.

"The patient in Intensive Care Unit 3 is awake, please go to Dr. Sakai." It's a gentle female voice, mixed with the sound of "chirping", is it a lucky egg?

"Can you hear me?" Miss Nurse asked.

"I can hear you." Empty answer.

"Is there any obvious discomfort then?"

"Weakness in the limbs and swelling of the head." Empty words are concise and to the point.

"Okay, please wait, the doctor will be there shortly." The nurse also knew that Sora needed to rest, so she just asked a few words.

He nodded his head, but the action was more laborious than expected, so he had to let out a muffled reply from his throat.

After a while, there was a second sound of footsteps at the door, and it was supposed that the doctor surnamed Sakai had arrived. Sora felt like he was being held on to his feet, and the bed behind him was slowly rising.

"Kamio Sora......" This time it was a calm male voice, "the limbs are weak, and the head is swollen and painful." Hmmm......"

"Smack!" There was a soft sound in the empty ear.

"Left or right?"

"Right."

"My hearing is normal, but do you have a murmur in my head?" Dr. Sakai withdrew his hand and asked again.

"No, it's just a little swollen." Sora felt that there should be no problem in his head.

"Normal reaction." Dr. Sakai said lightly, "Your family said that you suffered a frontal [big explosion] attack, although it was only a small part of the impact before the explosion spread, but it is still possible to suffer a concussion, and someone will come to give you a full body examination later." Xiao Nan, pull the curtains, I'm going to remove the gauze for him. ”

"Okay, doctor." The nurse named Xiao Nan said and closed the curtains.

"If it hurts, tell me right away." Dr. Sakai reminded him and was about to unwrap the gauze wrapped around the empty head.

"Babble!" Seeing the stranger approaching, Nana immediately let out a vigilant voice and was soothed by Sora. Dr. Sakai didn't care, and patiently waited for the time to take Nana into his arms before starting work.

During this period, Sora did not have obvious pain, but what worried him was that as the gauze was uncovered layer by layer, his vision was not completely restored, and the scene in front of him seemed to be covered with a thick plastic film, and he couldn't see clearly in a hazy way.

"Doctor, I'm ......" Sora was about to speak, but was interrupted by the doctor.

"Don't worry." After the gauze was all removed, Dr. Sakai took out a small flashlight from the pocket of his white coat, shone it into his empty eyes, and said, "There are no obvious external injuries, the lens shows no signs of cloudiness, and the pupils respond to light." Congratulations, little friend, your eyes should be fine. ”

"But I can't see clearly." Air Express Road.

"It's normal, the shock wave of the explosion compresses the optic nerve, and it will be restored with more vitamins A, B, AD and E, supplemented with medication, so you don't have to worry about your vision being affected. However, in the near future, it is important to wear an eye patch to avoid irritation of the eyes from bright light. ”

Hearing him say this, Sora was relieved.

The grandmother on the side didn't interject, and only after seeing the doctor check it out did she say, "How long does it take to recover?" ”

Dr. Sakai replied while recording Sora's condition, "I still need to do a full body check-up, but I personally think he is fine and will be able to get out of bed and walk around in two days." Whether he has a concussion or not needs to be further analyzed according to the results of the MRI, as for his vision, it depends on his own recovery speed, which can be as fast as a week or two, or as slow as a few months. ”

"W-thank you, doctor." Sora heard her grandmother breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he himself is not the same, if he eats a blow [Big Bang] head-on, it is not bad if he does not die.

Speaking of which, this is the third time he has encountered this trick, and he has suffered a big loss every time. Like the Big Bang, it rarely appears in official matches, and with the exception of some rock-based elves, most of the elves use the Big Bang at the expense of their own lives. Only an evil organization like Team Rocket, which treats life like a mustard, would do that.

Sora didn't know if the elf had thought about his death before activating the [Self-Destruct], but he felt that even the dull-looking gas bomb should be scared. It is in the nature of all creatures to fear the death of their lives, but they still do it because of a command from their trainers.

There is no time to ** Nana's back, which can make him feel relaxed. He felt that the Rockets had relented in their use of such weapons of mass destruction. If Lambda takes advantage of the air to accidentally launch a [Big Bang] directly under his feet, or detonate multiple gas bombs at the same time, he may not survive. At the end of the day, Team Rocket is a little different from other organizations, they are underworlds, bandits, but not terrorists.

"Where's Grandpa?" Sora asked suddenly. According to last night's situation, it is only possible that Ying Sihong saved him, relying on Hu Di's [teleportation], and maybe the strange power of [wide area defense].

"Him?" As soon as he mentioned his wife, Ying Sihui was angry, "What does he do, it's better to die outside." ”

This tone is familiar, empty and dark. Then he listened to his grandmother continue: "He called last night to say that you were unconscious, and I was almost scared to death. What do you really have to do, how do you want me to explain it to Suzuko? ”

"Don't!" As soon as he heard the word "confession", he almost jumped up from the hospital bed, "I have three weeks left in my winter vacation, I must hurry up and recover!" Don't let her know! ”

"......" Ying Sihui looked at such a sensible grandson, and didn't know whether to be relieved or distressed for a while.

"Da Da Da!" At this time, there were hurried footsteps in the corridor, and my grandfather's familiar voice sounded outside the door, "Empty!" You're awake! ”

"Smack!"

This voice is a slap in the face, definitely a slap in the face. The empty face was tied with gauze again, so one could only roughly guess what was going on.

"I beat the bell this time, do you have any opinion?" Grandma's tone seemed to be inquiring, but in fact it was unquestionable.

“…… No. Ying Sihong said in a deep voice, "I let Sora put himself in danger, but I didn't protect him well, and I don't deserve to be his grandfather." ”

Having said that, Sora felt that he had to be comforted, after all, his grandfather's original intentions were good, but he didn't expect to meet one of the future four generals of Team Rocket, Lambda. That's right, he always finds the identity of this person in his mind, and blames this comic for dyed hair, and his red hair turns purple, how can he recognize it.

"Grandpa, I don't blame you, it's me who is too weak, please continue to teach me fighting skills when I recover!" Sora said as if he was full of energy.

“…… Good. Grandpa said abruptly.

Only Nana, who was lying in her empty arms, saw that the strange old man's eyes were red.
