Chapter 63: Icarus
Dick swayed, trying not to let himself fall, but the flesh of his whole body seemed to repel him, and he did not obey the call at all, and scurried in all directions. And those on the ground were reduced to a pile of dead flesh, motionless.
"Icarus." Jiang Ke looked coldly at Dick's tragic situation at the moment, took two steps back, and gently spit out four words.
Behind him came the sound of footsteps, and it was Jaime and Karina who had descended to the bottom with Nadia's gear. The gear was a little heavy, and Jaime breathed heavily, exhaling clumps of white mist from his mouth.
Jiang Ke reminded loudly, "Pay attention to safety." ”
Jaime was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect someone to have reached the bottom floor. When he heard the voice, he looked around in a panic. After seeing Jiang Ke's figure, he let out a long breath, and his shoulders relaxed a lot.
"Why did you come down too?" Jaime gently placed the equipment on the ground and quickly ran to Jiang Ke's side.
Jiang Ke tilted his head and motioned for James to look at the situation on the side.
At this moment, the silver tissue on Dick's body was slowly peeling away and slowly flowing to the ground, and his whole person looked like a melted candle.
The silver candle lost its center of gravity and leaned forward, but did not fall to the ground. Dick's body is revealed in the middle, but due to the fusion, it is now basically invisible, and can only be vaguely regarded as the shape of a human body.
Dick could finally speak, "What happened to me...... his almost wailing voice echoed around, and the wind blew away the bleak words.
Karina also came to Jiang Ke's side, she looked at everything, and said lightly, "I said, this experiment is full of risks. ”
Dick's figure squirmed, he seemed to be looking around, but couldn't find the focus, "Who's talking?" Jiang Ke? ”
Curious, Jaime approached as he leaned in front of Dick, stretched out his arm and shook it.
Dick didn't react to the imminent situation, he just tilted his head as if trying to listen.
Jaime looked back at Karina and Jiang Ke, and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "It seems that his body has been fused too deeply, and his proprioceptive senses have been destroyed." ”
Dick was still looking around, even though he couldn't actually see anything, "Jiang Ke? What did you say? Are you laughing at me? ”
Karina shook her head, her eyes reddening slightly, "It's a pity, only this mouth is fine." It is this mouth, clever tongue and clever words, which makes people believe him and help him, in fact, it is nothing more than his careful thinking about tragedy.
Jiang Ke picked up the dagger, ready to finish off this pathetic lifeform.
Karina stopped him, "Wait ......," her voice trembling.
Jiang Ke didn't stop.
Karina almost pleaded, "He's no threat now, let him live a little longer...... "After all, this was the man she loved so much." Even if she saw his ruthlessness and hypocrisy clearly, between life and death, she was still a little soft-hearted.
Jaime stood in front of Jiang Ke, although he was not very strong, but from his expression, he could see that he was begging Jiang Ke to give his sister some time.
Jiang Ke reluctantly stopped, looking at Dick who was still talking behind Jaime, "What if his state is only temporary?" Dick was even able to recover from being Ling Chi just now, and in the battles Jiang Ke had experienced, an iron rule was "don't put yourself and your companions in danger because of sympathy."
Karina spoke, and she asked, "Did he just touch Nadia?" ”
Jiang Ke recalled what had happened just now and nodded.
Karina sighed, "Hmm...... As long as Nadia lives, he will not be able to recover, and if he kills Nadia in the first place, he may still be saved. ”
Jiang Ke took a step forward, "You said Nadia is still alive?" ”
Jaime was also a little confused, "Sister, can you explain it to me?" ”
Jiang Ke glared at Jaime, because Jaime's focus at the moment was not Nadia's life or death.
Jaime spread his hands and stepped aside.
Karina quickly collected her mood and explained to the two of them, "There's a conclusion of the experiment, and I haven't had time to tell Dick yet." That is the flesh of the Slote, similar to the accumulation of countless self-conscious individuals. So in addition to the basic skeletal structure, their bodies look fluid. These non-self-conscious individuals change form according to the will of the ontological body.
Fusion is to deceive these little individuals and give them a new master. But this in itself is deception, and if the ontology is dead, or if it does not come into contact with the living ontology, it will not cause their rejection.
Dick's body contained more than 3 Slotic bodies, three of which were definitively dead. That's why I say Nadia is alive. ”
Jiang Ke spread his hands, he looked at himself and asked, "Then what will happen to me?" I've touched Nadia too. ”
Karina shook her head, "My guess is that what you have on you was given to you by Nadia voluntarily, so it won't be affected. After she finished speaking, she bypassed Jiang Ke and walked to Dick's side.
Jiang Ke didn't stop her again, her expression made him understand something. Jiang Ke took Jaime to Nadia's side, "Think of a way, she should live." ”
