Chapter 126: Awakening

Su Jing walked naked in the ice and snow.

He seemed to hear someone calling to him in the distance. Su Jing stopped and listened intently, but the call quickly faded and then disappeared.

He stood in the snow, silent for a moment, and then moved on.

There is snow and ice everywhere, and there is no end to the road ahead. His face was red from the cold, and every inch of his exposed skin was covered with frost, but he kept to the flame in his chest. As long as this flame is not extinguished, he can go on forever.

At this moment, he felt the frost on his skin begin to loosen and creak and fall in large swaths.

The temperature is starting to pick up. He realized this instantly.

The snow and ice began to melt and the ice slurry began to flow in every river.

The brain waking up from hibernation tries to give the body new commands, but the peripheral nervous system is almost completely destroyed, and only the central nervous system, protected by bones and thick muscles, is left with the ability to work again.

He lay on the ground, silently remembering how he had fallen into the trap and been sealed in the middle of the ambush.

I don't know what to do...... How is Sadako now?

Su Jing tried to move his fingers, but he failed.

I need to move. He thought.

I want to move.

Obey my orders, my body, and I didn't make you sleep right here by strengthening you to this form.

Obey my commands, my body.

Move.

Every somatic cell destroyed by the cell fluid is trying to repair itself, and the cell's activity is trying to do its job, engulfing the old, necrotic cells and then regrowing new cells.

It's not enough. Su Jing thought, I want to be faster.

Patches of tissue squirmed, and the calories he had stored in the high-energy fat in advance began to work, consuming at an alarming rate.

Untie.

Untie.

Untie!

With a tenacious desire to survive, the second layer of the "Restoration" ability finally opened. Stimulated by this force, each ruptured cell begins to heal, and the rate of metabolism increases tenfold or twentyfold. The lingering cold in his body began to be forced back bit by bit, his body temperature began to rise from zero degrees Celsius, and the flow of bodily fluids resumed until he soon reached forty degrees Celsius, and then continued to rise, fifty degrees Celsius, sixty degrees Celsius...... On the surface of his body, white gas was constantly evaporating, and his skin was a little hot to the touch.

Finally, he opened his eyes. The action strained his facial muscles, but healed quickly in the next second.

That's enough. Su Jing silently adjusted the temperature in his body, allowing it to return to a normal state. In three minutes, you will be able to regain your ability to move. He blinked his eyes, letting his eyelids wipe the frost from his eyeballs.

The Demon Hunter flew out of his left eye and shook his dark purple snow-colored wing membrane very humanely. Instead of Su Jing's eyes, it looked out the window.

Is it dark? Why is it that he is not in some secret research base now, but in the same house where he used to live? Where's Sadako? Su Jing manipulated the demon hunting insects to search around the house, but he couldn't find any trace of anyone else. Then he noticed what appeared to be traces of a large heavy object being dragged down the hallway, and he turned his head slightly to understand that it was the mark left by the frozen self when he was dragged into the room.

As he flew back to the room with the Demon Hunting Worm, he noticed a small pool of blood on the floor.

Su Jing struggled to sit up and shook off the last bit of ice on his body. He crawled to the edge of the pool of blood, then stuck out his tongue and licked it like a dog licking water, and then he froze.

This taste, he is very familiar.

It's a little bitter, but it has a sweet aftertaste...... It is the blood stain of Sadako Yamamura.

He picked up the bullet embedded in a small hole in the floor, looked at it for a moment, and swallowed it in one gulp.

He got up, took off his coat, and examined it closely, and finally found a button-sized locator at the collar of the demon hunter's see-through vision. He thought about it for a moment, and then remembered that morning, a short, stocky man had tapped him on the shoulder. He touched his inner pocket, and the dozen or so geomagnetic detection devices were still there, which was the result of his handiwork for so many days, one by one, small round balls, like children's toys.

As he walked out of the room, he caught a glimpse of something black in the corner.

It's a tape recorder.

He walked over and turned on the tape recorder, which contained a tape.

Su Jing pressed the play button, and then listened quietly.

First, there was a large white noise, and from the background, the voice calling his name, the cry of a woman, could be faintly heard. He remembered that in the dream, it was this voice that called to him again and again, allowing him to find his way forward.

Then he heard something different.

【………… Jing, if you can hear this, then it proves that my prayers have worked. Once again, I would like to give thanks to Heaven here. It may have disappointed me countless times, but only this time, it made my wish come true, and I thank it from the bottom of my heart......]

Su Jing rummaged in the kitchen for knives, and then he found a kitchen knife that was handy. He quickly brushed the edge of the knife three or four times with the hot flames between his fingers, sharpening its edge. He walked into the bathroom with a knife in hand, then took off his coat and stood naked in front of the mirror, then he held the knife and stabbed himself hard in the shoulder.

【…… I know that maybe I'm not the most important person in your heart...... Jing, I know that I may never be able to keep up with you and follow your figure......]

Su Jing expressionlessly ripped open the wound on his shoulder, revealing the joints inside. Then, gritting his teeth, he forced, and with a click, he dug out a bone. Then he slipped a small ball into it and wrapped it tightly in a bandage. Then he switched hands and slipped the other shoulder open. It's another implant operation.

[But...... Jing, this time with you is the happiest and happiest period of my life. It was only during this period of time that I felt and became a human being...... It is the most beautiful thing in the world...... Not as a demon, not as a freak, but as a person who falls in love with someone......]

After dealing with both shoulders, Su Jing dug his knees open again, and found a vacancy behind the patella, where the complex ligaments and muscles were intertwined, which was a structure that he had been slowly changing before, making room for a special place for these geomagnetic induction devices that he had designed and manufactured himself. It's a pity that there is not enough time, so some of his joints are not fully cultivated, so he has to use sharp weapons to pry. After fitting both knees, it is the turn of the root bones of the feet. After the blood was bleeding all over the place, he cut his elbow joints one by one and implanted them again.

【A Jing ...... This is the first time I've called you that...... You used to say that your sister called you that, but I never called you that...... Jing ......】

Su Jing wrapped the elbows on both sides of himself with a bandage, then picked up the knife again, looked in the mirror, turned sideways, inserted it into his waist, and stabbed it back, as if it was not his body. He saw in the mirror the texture of his back muscles, as well as the spine in the incision. He picked up one of the largest balls and embedded them deep into the wound. There was a joint that ordinary people didn't have, like a three-claw clip, or a retainer, that was perfectly fitted with the geomagnetic detection device.

[Ah Jing, I love you. 】

Su Jing knelt on the ground and arched his back. At the place of his two shoulder blades, two bulges gradually bulged. He let out a low growl in his throat, like a wounded beast. The two bulges bulged out more and more, tearing at the membrane on his back. With his knife in his backhand, he cut two deep, long and deep holes in his back, one left and one right.

From the crack, two bone stubbles wrapped in a thin membrane gradually poked out, and then, in his painful roar, these two bone stubbles stretched longer and longer, and then, as if breaking through a certain boundary, this pair of bone stubbles spread violently, like a flower opening in an instant, and a pair of winged wings appeared on Su Jing's back.

The pair of wings were about five meters long when fully extended, but in the cramped bathroom, it could only curl up on Su Jing's back, it was very unsightly, wet, and covered with a layer of mucus on the skin. Su Jing pulled the left wing, his right hand mercilessly cut the first joint of the immature wing bone, the newly grown bat wing shook as if it was alive, Su Jing embedded the geomagnetic detection device into it, and then pulled the other wing.

After everything was done, Su Jing unscrewed the shower head in the bathroom, washed the blood stains all over his body, and then methodically wiped himself clean with a towel, and then put on the black coat made of cards. The outfit automatically adapted to the wings behind his back, making two openings in his back, just enough for his wings to stretch out.

Su Jing put on her boots, then walked over to the tape recorder and pressed the rewind button. He wanted to listen to it again, but when he rewinded, Sadako Yamamura's voice vaguely converged and seemed to turn into another sentence. He clicked and pressed the rewind button. Then fast forward to the bottom again, and rewind again.

In the rattling rewind, Sadako Yamamura's outpouring and white noise mingled into a sentence intermittently......

【A Jing ...... Help me......]

Half a minute later, a black shadow rose into the night, slow and stiff at first, but as the black shadow made a few maneuvers in the air, he gradually got used to the feeling of flying. A pair of wings up to five meters wide stretched out unscrupulously behind him, and the force was provided by the geomagnetic detection devices in the joints of his body, and the geomagnetic detection devices of the wings were responsible for balancing - this was the way Su Jing thought of flying. He was suspended in the air about two hundred meters above the ground, his long hair fluttering in the night wind.

After looking up for a moment, his gaze turned to the southwest.

"I'm coming."

In the night sky, black crows swept silently and quickly.
