Emerald's eyes opened,

The snow-white ceiling is lit up with a white glow.

She whispered "ah" and sat up from the hospital bed, feeling something strange in her hand, she put it in front of her.

The clenched fist opened slightly, and a ring lay quietly in the palm of her hand, and in a trance, Rena saw the flames jump out of the ring, like an elf, giving birth to hands and feet, slowly getting up, waving to her, and giving her a lovely hello.

Rena was nervous and didn't dare to move, surrounded by the unique smell of disinfectant water in the hospital, I don't know why, since she woke up, she could always hear strange sounds surrounding her ears, and all kinds of sounds echoed in the corridor.

The light footsteps, the soft sound of the door opening, the whispering of the whisper, and the crisp sound of the collision of the glass bottle mouth have become more and more acute and clear in the once neglected hearing.

Even the vision has become a little different, the force has changed the structure of the lens of the eye, and it seems to be able to penetrate the human body in front of you, see what is surging under the skin, different people, and different colors.

"I'm ...... What's wrong? ”

With these strange things, Rena's head gradually became heavy, and her consciousness slowly became blurred, and she could feel an invisible, strange, and extraordinary power that had never been seen before, slowly flowing through her body.

It was a strange experience, as if something wanted to break through the barrier and come to her.

The flames were burning, just thinking that it would be nice if it could be bigger.

"Suddenly",

A beam of fire burned from Rena's palm, and Rena clenched her fists in fright, and the flames were extinguished.

When she opened her palm again, the flame changed to its original elven appearance.

"The Awoken?"

"What?"

The flame just now caught the doctor's attention, and he came over to care enthusiastically, and Rena looked up in confusion, her palm-sized face full of doubt.

The Awoken?

She had heard the term, and it seemed to be a group of people with special and extraordinary powers, but she didn't expect that she would be involved with the Awakened.

"People who have just awakened are like this, some people's strength will be out of control, some people don't feel it at all, people with different physiques have differences, so don't worry."

The doctor thought Rena was scared, so he comforted her.

"I ...... Arousal...... Finish? ”

Rena was shocked by the news, and she heard the sound of slight footsteps outside the door, followed by the door of the hospital room being opened.

The two turned their heads.

"Captain Chris."

The doctor greeted Chris familiarly.

"Give her to me."

"Yes."

Chris walked over to Rena, and when the doctor closed the door and left, there was a "click" on the door, and Chris knelt down on one knee, which is standard knightly etiquette, even if he was not wearing a uniform for work, he still chose to salute Rena:

"I'm sorry, Miss Rena, it's too late."

"It's okay, I'm not in the manor now, and besides, I'm not a big lady outside, there are not so many rules, hurry up."

Rena hurriedly got out of bed and helped him up, and the eldest lady seemed to remember something, looked around, put on her shoes, and walked around the nearby ward, finding that there were no other acquaintances except Chris.

"What about Mr. Loquelen? And also...... Is Ewell there? ”

When she was in the alley, as soon as she woke up, she was frightened by the two corpses in a trance, and then she felt a change in herself, and it was not until she came to the museum that she slowly recovered.

She remembered that she seemed to see Ewell, and a dark figure, hidden in the shadows behind him.

But she didn't know,

Forlì's death was the work of Nika.

"Miss Rena, my subordinates just went to ask, the person who came with you is in the operating room, and I heard that the alchemists of the Atlas Alchemy Academy are also involved."

Chris explained to Rena.

"Is it Mr. Loquelon?"

Could it be an injury?

Rena was a little anxious.

"No, they don't know his name."

Chris shook his head and said.

"Please take me there."

"Yes, Miss Rena."

Chris made an obedient gesture to Rena.

"Oh, I told you, don't be so restrained, leave the manor...... I'm not a big lady anymore. ”

"Yes!"

"Alas......"

……

on the door,

The operating light is still on,

Jiang Chenchuan had already returned from the third basement floor, ended the conversation with Leonid, and waited at the door of the operating room, he leaned against the wall, propped up his cane, and quietly looked at the ground, not knowing what was going on in his head.

Stripped of relics,

This is different from ordinary surgery, with great danger, once it fails, everyone will face not only the risk of parasite death, but also the possibility of accidents such as loss of control of relics.

"How long have they been in?"

Rena came to Jiang Chenchuan's side and asked softly.

"It's been two hours."

Jiang Chenchuan raised his head and replied heavily.

He had promised Nika's father that he would find Nika and bring him to him.

Undergoing the relict separation operation, it was also because Ethan concluded that Nika had not been completely integrated after examining Nika's condition, and after consulting with the medical department, he decided to perform surgery on Nika and artificially separate Nika from the relics.

"Hopefully the surgery will be successful."

Rena folded her palms and prayed, Chris silently guarded by Rena's back, this was the duty of the Knights of the Pure Temple, and it was also his personal will.

"Hmm."

Jiang Chenchuan replied softly.

Everyone did not speak, and the atmosphere became silent.

Rena turned her head and looked at Jiang Chenchuan's side face seriously.

He seems to have been like this all along, his brows are tightly locked, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes are a little heavy, but obviously nothing happened, but he feels that he is carrying a burden of tens of millions of catties.

"Why is this happening?"

Rena asked in her mind.

She just stared curiously, stared at ......

suddenly

There was a double image in front of my eyes.

At first, I thought it was a problem with my eyes, maybe it was due to my fatigue today and my fright.

She rubbed her eyes, and then turned her head to look at Jiang Chenchuan, the ghost was still there, but when she turned her head to look at Chris, she received a puzzled look from Chris.

"Huh?"

Rena let out a puzzled sound.

When she turned her head to look at Jiang Chenchuan again, she saw that the ghost slowly moved, turned her head, turned her face towards her, and showed a cheerful and weird smile.

Those eyes opened in the darkness.

In an instant, Rena felt endless malice, coming at her from all directions, countless withered arms stretched out from the abyss and grabbed her ankles, the cold touch, as if it had really happened.

A scream alarmed Chris and Jiang Chenchuan.

"Rena, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Chenchuan stepped forward and asked with concern, leaving his ghost still leaning against the wall, looking at everything in front of him indifferently.

See?

This is the price of awakening.
