A week later.

"It's been raining for a week, and Ian hasn't woken up yet." Zona leaned on the windowsill of the hospital, looking out at the sky.

"Yes, but the doctor said it's not a big deal, the technology is so advanced now, it's okay." The blonde man next to Zona said.

"Stephen, that's what I said, but I still don't want to go, because I'm ...... killed a fresh life, and Ian is still unconscious......" Zona has a sad face, she has been with Ian recently, and deep self-blame has planted seeds in her heart.

"You go back first, I'll stay here." Stephen stared at Ian silently as he said with a blank face.

"I want to ...... Stay with him here......" Zona whispered.

"Now that he's not awake, you can't break down again." Stephen said.

"But ......"

"What are you arguing about?" Ian's weak voice rang in their ears.

"You're awake!" Zona couldn't contain her excitement and rushed forward.

"Be quiet," Stephen patted Zona on the shoulder, squeezing an eyebrow at Ian, "now he needs to recuperate." ”

"I'm fine." Ian weakly spat out word by word.

"It's okay, you're all right." Zona cares.

"It's not because someone is lazy that it's like this." Stephen said suddenly, coldly.

"You ......"

"Okay, okay, why do you two quarrel as soon as you meet. Zona, that Harriet's ......" Ian stopped talking, remembering what happened that night, and Ian's heart felt like he was being weighed down by a big rock.

"Well, it's all done." Zona replied with a guilty face, bowing her head.

"Good...... Take me to ......" Ian struggled to sit up, and Stephen and Zona stepped forward to help.

"You're not in good health right now, you should be ......," Zona said.

"Zona, my body doesn't matter, I am, I just want to look at her. She...... As a child, her parents died early, and she didn't feel at home. I'm the same as her, and I'm ...... I've lost my parents too, ahem......" Ian said as he coughed violently.

Zona hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Ian's back, coaxing him and saying, "You rest for two days first, and I'll take you there when you're well." ”

"I ...... Like her, but I have my sister, so I also wish there was someone to accompany her on her path, but ......" Ian became more and more excited, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"But...... That's how she ...... And I just watched it like this, and I couldn't do anything about it! Powerless! I ......" Ian became more and more agitated as he spoke, thumping his chest with all his strength, followed by a violent cough.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, you lie down first, okay?" Zona gently helped him to lie down.

"Zona, thank you." Ian said this and fell asleep again......

"So you took him with you anyway?" Ilia asked on the other end of the phone.

"Sister, I really can't resist him." Zona smiled wryly.

"It's okay, I've been bothering you these days, I'm too busy." Ilia said.

"Whatever you are polite to me, it's what I should do. I don't feel good about seeing him like this......" Zona whispered.

"I have another task here, I'll hang up first." This came to an abrupt end with a "beep" on the other end of the phone.

"It's always like this......" Zona smiled helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Ian walked in through the door, his body was almost recovered, and now it was no problem to walk on the ground.

"My sister called me just now, and I've been a bit busy over there lately, and intruders are getting more and more rampant......" Zona said.

"Zona, I'm going to join you." Ian said suddenly.

"Are you serious?"

"Well, I'm going to save more people from the clutches of these monsters." Ian said with a determined gaze.

"Okay, just wait for your words, let's not say anything to save others, the main thing is to protect yourself." Zona blinked her eyes and looked very happy, but she didn't want to see him in any danger.

"You...... Is that what you think? Ian clenched his fists silently.

"What?" Zona asked.

Ian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, when are we going." ”

"Wait for me to arrange it for you, you have a good rest, I'll go first." Zona seemed to understand what Ian had just asked her, and immediately left the room.

Three days later.

"I've already arranged everything, I handed you the file the day before yesterday, and the political trial has passed. Now it's time to see if you have this kind of physique, but if my sister can, you should be fine. Zona said, putting her hand on Ian's shoulder.

"Well, I didn't ask last time, can you tell me more about the Infinite Crystal?" Ian asked.

"Of course, no problem, let's talk about this Infinity Crystal Hub first, it controls all the Infinity Crystal holders of all Seth, and is also the source of power. There are two Infinity Crystal Hubs, one in front of us and one in Mortick. The crystals on both sides are different and have different abilities. The Infinity Crystal Center can eliminate the abilities of any Enlightener under its control, so anyone who uses the crystal to do evil will have the crystal destroyed immediately. Zona put her arm around Ian and gushed.

"Tell me how this thing works? I don't dare to break the law. Ian laughed.

"yes, then I'll show you my crystal." Zona freed her hand, revealing the Infinity Crystal. "This crystal is called 'Blood Wings', which of course literally, you saw my wings that day. You just have to be a little bit ......"

"Bloodwings." The digital sound of that night reappeared.

"What is this?" Ian asked curiously.

"This is the voice built into the crystal, which is equivalent to the prompt sound of your mobile phone when it is turned on." Zona waved her hand and said a little helplessly.

"Can this sound be turned off? Why do I feel a little ...... Mentally retarded...... Guy ...... looked tentatively at Zona.

"I think so too, this thing...... Yes...... I can't turn it off anyway. , and this voice he ...... "Zona seemed to have met a bosom friend, and complained wildly."

"Uh...... Are we digressing? Ian grabbed Zona by the shoulder.

"Where did you just go? With this tone, you will feel like you have a sentient organ on your hand, and you can control it with your mind. However, crystals also have energy, and when the energy is exhausted, you will pass out directly, but before you run out, your crystal will also give you a hint in your consciousness. Then two quick touches in a row again are to completely release the ability brought by their crystals, which will consume a lot of energy to release a powerful ability To put it bluntly, it is a big move. Zona found out that she was off topic and immediately explained it seriously.

"I see, it's easy. By the way, what is my sister's crystal? Ian looked at the crystal in Zona's hand and gently combed her hair.

"My sister's words are 'poisonous scorpion', this crystal is really scary...... She can grow a giant scorpion tail from behind her and can use toxins...... Ian, I guess you'll be able to match this crystal. Zona smiled grimly.

"It's okay, I just want to get power, anything. I don't want to see someone fall in front of my eyes again! Ian looked at Zona steadfastly, but suddenly something made Ian wonder.

"Wait, Zona, I'...... There's always one thing I don't understand, you said earlier that intruders infect humans, but why did Harriet get ......"

"Well, it's true that intruders can infect humans, but I've missed something before." Zona said embarrassedly.

"What's that?" Ian gently took Zona's hand.

"There are currently three levels of intruders, Z1, Z2 and Z3. Z3 is what we usually see, the intruders I described, they lose all consciousness and memories after infection, and Z2 is the intruder that can infect humans. Z3 They ...... Feeds on humans, while Z2 sucks the energy of infected people into their own energy for a living, and Z2 is more terrifying than Z3, if Z3 is still a bit humanoid and about the same size as humans, Z2 is at least twice as big and more lethal. And they have a special way of dealing with the holders of Infinity Crystals, not infection, but direct attacks, which we can't explain at the moment. Zona said and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ian, who seemed to understand next to her.

"I basically understand, what is Z1?" Ian asked.

"This ...... I'll tell you later, hey, it's here, let's go in. Zona smiled and nudged Ian.

"Here?"

"Yes, this lab is where the Infinity Crystals are implanted, hey, Rabindranath Tagore!" Zona beckoned to a young man in a white lab coat.

"Here, this is Ian, I'm Rabindranath Tagore, a researcher at the Infinity Crystal Laboratory, please take care of me." Tagore smiled politely and held out his hand.

"My name is Ian, please take care of me." Ian hurried up to shake hands with the man in front of him. Ian looked at this man quietly, with neat white hair, silver-rimmed eyes, and although he was not tall, he looked at his polite and dignified smile, and a sense of nobility arose.

"She told you everything, the above has passed, and I am here to do a check for you to see if you have the potential to become an enlightener. But Captain Ilia's younger brother shouldn't be a big problem. Rabindranath Tagore said.

Ian also responded with a smile: "That's not necessarily, you better check it, in case there is anything?" ”

"Okay, let's go." Tagore twisted his lips and smiled at Ian.

Half an hour later.

"How does it feel?" Zona asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little special feeling in my body after being illuminated by that light......" Ian touched his body casually.

"Normal, it's all like this, the light just now is just a tiny amount of power in the center of the infinite crystal, if it is not suitable, there will be a strong reaction, it is obvious that you are all normal. Then you prepare, I will arrange for someone to implant you with an infinite crystal immediately, and I'll see you later. Tagore raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and with a slight wave of his five fingers, picked up a pile of reports and walked out.

"Ian is going to be one of us soon." Zona folded her hands, and she was already imagining the battle with Ian.

"yes, Harriet, I'm never going to let anyone die again, you see."

"Ian!" A group of men in white coats and masks walked in.

"Do you want to start now?" Ian asked.

"Well, let's go." The man at the head said solemnly.

"Wait, what about Rabindranath Tagore?" Zona asked, walking up to Ian.

"What else is he busy with? Ian, come with me. And, Zona, are you afraid that we will eat him, we are not trespassers. The man walked over to Zona and said coldly.

When Zona saw this situation, if she had put it in the past, she would have been punched, but when she thought about it today, she put up with it.

"I won't mess with you, Ian." Zona looked back at Ian, took his hand gently, and whispered in his ear, "Ao is going to make me something to eat tonight!" ”

"Hmm." Ian gently touched her head like a child, and smiled warmly.

"Lie down here." The man ordered Ian to lie on a platform.

Ian lay down on it, but his eyes were not looking around.

"Okay, don't look at it, it'll be fine in a while, give him anesthetic first." The man ordered an assistant-like man next to him, and the man immediately did so.

The needle pierced Ian's skin and traveled throughout his body as the fluid flowed. After a while, Ian felt weak and his eyes blurred, and gradually closed his eyes......

When he woke up, Ian found himself in an old factory. He stood up against the wall, still feeling a dull ache when he touched his head. He looked at everything strange in front of him, as if he had lost his memory.

Shouldn't I be experimented with in the Infinite Crystal Center to gain power?

Ian immediately looked at his wrist and found that there was indeed an extra crystal.

The crystal was embedded in Ian's wrist like an emerald, and it was very green and transparent, like a work of art.

"This ...... Is this my power? Ian slowly stroked the crystal in his hand, "Then why am I here?" ”

With these doubts in mind, Ian thought as he walked aimlessly. There was a cold smell of the factory, and the smell of rust of metal filled the air, and Ian quickly covered his nose, because he noticed that it had a different smell of rust...... Other smells.

Trespasser!

A Z3 swaggered towards Ian, who hurriedly backed away. But he suddenly remembered that he was also an enlightener at this moment, and he also had the ability to deal with intruders.

So Ian turned back to the Z3 and said, "Today I'm not the same as before, I've been reborn!" I'm not the weaker to watch you do whatever you want, but now I have the ability to protect people, so defeating you is like crushing an ant! Wait and see! ”

Ian stood in front of it, and instead of being frightened by Ian's words, the monster rushed towards Ian even faster.

"Okay, just let you try my crystals! Ay? Why didn't this thing respond! Just as Ian was about to pretend, the Infinity Crystal fell off its chain.

In the blink of an eye, the claws of the Z3 reached out to Ian, and Ian quickly dodged and scurried around the ruins. "What's this? I forgot to ask Zona if this thing was done like this, was this thing controlled by mind? What about the beep? Feed! ”

Then there was a dramatic scene, where Ian was scurrying around and muttering about the power of the Infinity Crystal! He ran like this, and suddenly he was scraped by a piece of iron, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing that the intruder was about to catch up, Ian got up trembling in pain, picked up an iron rod beside him, and shouted, "I...... I just can't use this power, and I can't sit still! ”

He lunged at the intruder and slammed his stick at it, sending a burst of green in all directions. But even so, it didn't stop, Ian quickly swung the stick to stop it, but it came over with the stick as if it was unconscious, even though the green blood on its body was already all over its body.

In the blink of an eye, the monster had already walked in front of Ian, and Ian swung the stick violently, but was easily blocked by its claws, and reversed the stick and whipped it on Ian, directly knocking him out two meters away.

Ian lay on the ground, as if he no longer felt the presence of his body, only the illusory "thump" heartbeat in front of him.

"Isn't it going to end before it starts?" Ian snorted weakly.

Seeing the intruder walk in front of his eyes, he drooled and looked at himself, watching the hideous face Ian slowly close his eyes.

"It's all over......"

Ian opened his eyes again, and everything in front of him hadn't changed, the Z3 was still there. Ian struggled to look around and spotted another intruder in the distance.

The intruder was even larger, with more sharp edges and corners, spikes arranged irregularly on the fitness and back, and it looked more like a standing lizard than the Z3's humanoid!

That's the Z2!!

The Z2 just stood there looking at Ian, and the Z3 who was about to eat him didn't make a move, but honestly walked behind Z2, revealing a look of almost awe.

The Z2 glanced at Ian, its eyes glowing green, and raised its massive claws to release a puddle of viscous liquid. The mass of liquid was directly attached to Ian's body, and Ian's body was already in great pain, and the pressure of the mass of mucus made him even more uncomfortable. He was dazed by one thing—the intruder's mucus mixed with the human blood would be assimilated!

Ian slowly raised his hand and saw his veins gradually turn green!

"Oh, no...... I'm ......" Ian cried out in a panic, sweat and blood drenching his body. He felt that the wounds on his body were slowly healing, and he could even see the process of his own cells being reborn......

and the process of gradual assimilation......

His whole body began to coat with rough dermis and, and he felt the presence of claws and tail.

"What an enlightener, it's not the same ending......" Ian felt that his consciousness and consciousness were gradually disappearing, and as the blood moved throughout his body, what appeared in front of us was-

A brand new Z3 intruder!

A sad monster.
