Chapter 4: Dante
The whole person seems to be broken, the pain in the chest piercing the heart, and the slightest breath will tear the pain all over the body.
Li Xiang woke up.
He struggled to open his eyes, and in his misty vision he saw the person he wanted to see the most. Catherine was still cold, but she couldn't hide the concern in her eyes.
Li Xiang smiled reluctantly, wanting to open his mouth to say something, but only a hoarse hiss came from his throat. Catherine hurriedly picked up a glass of water and brought it to Li Xiang's mouth, the entrance was cool and sweet, Li Xiang had never felt that water was so delicious in his life.
"Hmph, you idiot, why don't you die!" Catherine was cold with a little anger, but her hand was still very gentle, gently supporting Li Xiang's head, for fear that the water would spill on him.
"Dante, this idiot can't die, can he?" said Catherine.
A handsome middle-aged man walked over, glanced at Li Xiang casually, and said, "For now, I can't die." If you continue to give him the extract of paralyzing mushrooms and blood thistle, it will be difficult to say. ”
When Li Xiang heard Dante's words, he choked on all the water he drank halfway, and then coughed violently. Catherine's voice grew farther and farther away from him, and the last thing he heard was a laceration...... Blood...... Help......
I don't know how long it took, Li Xiang woke up again, and Catherine was no longer around. He wanted to get up, but found that his hands and feet were not listening to the call at all, and he could only lie there and turn his neck and look around.
A dim green light filled the room, and it was eerie. Tubes descended from the ceiling and stuck into his body, colorful liquids slowly pouring into his body.
In front of the test bench next to him, Dante was mixing some unknown liquid, and as he mixed it, various smoke continued to rise from the bottle. He shook the Erlenmeyer flask in his hand, stared at the liquid in the bottle for a moment, shook his head and seemed dissatisfied, and then added a few drops of black liquid to the bottle.
The liquid in the bottle began to churn violently, and bubbles continued to bubble out.
Dante nodded in satisfaction, as if remembering something, and unhurriedly lifted a lid on the right hand side of the test bench and poured the bottle of liquid into it. Then he turned his head and glanced at Li Xiang: "Awake?"
Bang!
Before Li Xiang could answer, he heard a violent explosion, and the whole room shook violently. There was a lot of dust falling from the ceiling, and he was worried that the room would collapse.
Dante shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "It's just another failed experiment, there's nothing to worry about." ”
Li Xiang was in a cold sweat, looking at the tubes connected to him, as well as the colorful unknown liquids in the tubes, and then thinking about what Dante had done just now, he was really worried about his life. Even if he survives, who knows if this Dante will make himself Ultraman.
Dante looked at Li Xiang with interest and said, "It's the first time I've seen a Shino person." Anyway, your life is quite big, and to be honest, even I can't guarantee that I will be able to save you at the time. ”
Of course, Li Xiang remembered how badly injured he was at that time, and said, "Thank you." There's a question, why can't I move?" he was worried that he wouldn't leave any sequelae, and if he spent the rest of his life in bed, it would be better to live than to die.
"The effect of the paralyzing mushroom hasn't passed yet, so you don't have to worry about this. It's also good for you, so that you don't have to move around and tear open the wound. Dante said with a strange smile on his face, glancing down at his watch. "It's almost time for Catherine. She comes to see you every day, and I've never seen Catherine so concerned about anything. ”
"Dante, is that guy awake?" Catherine's voice came from outside the door, her tone full of concern.
"You?!" Catherine said coldly when she entered the room and found that Li Xiang had woken up, a hint of surprise crossed her face. "I came to see you because you were still useful to me, don't think too much about it. ”
Seeing Catherine's appearance of three hundred taels of silver here, Li Xiang's heart was warm, it was difficult to demolish her, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and he almost suffocated his internal injuries.
Catherine saw that Li Xiang's expression was a little strange, glared at him, and asked Dante, "This idiot can't die now, right?"
Dante nodded and said, "If you do it, I can save it." It occurred to me that the worm in the swamp might have taken the bait, so I won't bother you. As he spoke, he glanced at Catherine with a smile on his face, and walked out humming a little song.
Catherine's ears were red by Dante's words, and after making sure that Dante was far away, she interrogated Li Xiang with a straight face: "Who made you call my name when you were unconscious?!"
"Of course, I will call your name because I have you in my heart. Li Xiang said with a hippie smile.
Catherine didn't dare to look at Li Xiang, so she turned her face away and whispered, "Full of nonsense." Then he turned his head violently, grabbed Li Xiang, and asked menacingly, regardless of whether he was in pain or not. "No, you're calling another person's name, who is Mary?!!"
"This ......" Li Xiang didn't know how to explain it. Tell Catherine the truth? That's a trick.
"I'm telling you, that's right. There is a girl who looks like a fox spirit, and she looks very similar to you, but her figure is better than you to grandma's house. The two of us did something unashamed every night, and although there was no substantial progress, it was completely beyond the boundaries of friendship. If Li Xiang had told Catherine so, he was sure that even Dante would not have been able to save himself. Now he finally understood what Dante meant by the phrase "If you do it lightly, I can still save it".
"What's this? you're going to lie again, aren't you?" asked Catherine.
In a ten-thousandth of a second, Li Xiang came up with a lie and said, "This ...... I'm afraid you won't believe what I said. Actually, I dreamed of you the night before you came. I asked you what your name was, and you told me your name was Mary, Rose Marie. That's the name of rosemary, which stands for memory and recollection. All this is the arrangement of fate. ”
Catherine's cheeks were clouded with two red clouds, her purple eyes were misty, and she asked, "Really?"
Li Xiang beat the drum in his heart, but he had to pretend to be very calm on the surface, and swore that "you are the person in my dream!"
"The ghost believes you!" Catherine roughly pushed Li Xiang back to the bed, paced happily with her hands behind her back, and shook her head and left.
"Ahem!" Li Xiang shouted at Catherine. "There's a wounded here!
"Idiot!, who needs you to save you!" Catherine dropped the sentence outside the door.
As the days passed, Li Xiang's body was gradually recovering.
After determining that Li Xiang was out of danger, Catherine rarely showed up. This made Li Xiang somewhat unhappy, and what made him even more dissatisfied was that Catherine was very disdainful of Li Xiang blocking the knife for her.
On this day, Li Xiang was finally able to get out of bed and walk around. Catherine was still nowhere to be seen, which made him sullen.
Li Xiang's appearance, but in his eyes for many days, he naturally knew that it was a reason, he patted Li Xiang's shoulder and said, "Follow me." After speaking, he threw Li Xiang a crutch and walked out by himself.
Li Xiang staggered out of the room on crutches, and his eyes suddenly brightened. This is a very large hall, and the area of the entire hall is several times larger than Li Xiang's villa. The walls are inlaid with many transparent vessels, and inside are all kinds of specimens, living and dead things, unnamed organs, ores of various shapes...... And so on and so forth.
"Don't stand stupid. Dante waved at Li Xiang at the door.
When he came outside, Li Xiang found that the place where he had come to recuperate for many days turned out to be a cave halfway up the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a lush and hurried valley with no end in sight. If you listen closely, you can also hear the sound of the river rushing, and this river must be not small.
It's just a little strange, the surrounding is full of green trees, fragrant grass, but there is no grass within a radius of more than ten meters at the entrance of the cave, and it is extremely desolate.
Li Xiang gestured around and asked, "Your territory?"
"I'm just like you, just a guest here. Dante turned his face and smiled at Li Xiang, his face was terrifyingly defeated, even more ugly than Li Xiang's face when he had just recovered from a serious illness, and it could be said that his face was colorless.
Dante was accustomed to Li Xiang's surprise and said, "You don't seem to be very happy these days. Seeing that Li Xiang didn't speak, he continued. "You don't know Catherine's identity yet, do you?"
Li Xiang said honestly: "I only know that she will be three hundred and twenty years old soon, and she may be a little old, but I like her, and I don't care about anything else." ”
A cold steel knife was placed on Li Xiang's neck, and he seemed to feel his blood flowing out.
Li Xiang looked at Dante nervously, not knowing what this guy was going to do.
Dante pulled the knife back, wiped the blood from it, and said, "This is the knife that almost killed you." ”
Then, Dante completely ignored Li Xiang in the clouds, turned around and shouted to a guy passing by, "You, yes! It's you Dakisas, come over for me." ”
That person Li Xiang knew, when he was recuperating from his injuries, he took care of his diet and daily life, but he hadn't asked his name yet.
Daquisas pointed at himself, looked at Dante suspiciously, and stood far away, not daring to move.
Dante beckoned to him impatiently and said, "What are you afraid of?
Hearing Dante's words, Daquisas took a few steps back in cooperation.
Dante's face sank, and his voice was like the icy wind of the Arctic: "Don't waste my time. ”
Daquisas walked over cautiously and slowly, looked at Dante defensively, and asked, "What are you doing?" What exclusive seasoning you gave me last time, the mushrooms that made me grow all over my body, took half a year to completely disappear. ”
Li Xiang listened to the sweat on the side, thinking about the things Dante injected himself with when he couldn't move, and he was afraid for a while.
"Don't worry, things are simpler today. Stand still, let me stab you twice. Dante said lightly.
Unexpectedly, Dakisas was very happy when he heard this, and he was relieved, and said nonchalantly: "Okay! ”
Dante swung the steel knife that pierced Li Xiang and slashed at Dakisas's shoulder.
Li Xiang's jaw fell to the ground, Dakisas was unharmed, and the knife broke in two.
"If it's all right, I'll go first?" Daquisas asked cautiously.
Dante waved his hand, and Daquisas turned away as if he had been granted amnesty. After running a few steps, a pair of wings emerged from behind Dakisas, and Dakisas, who was a human a second ago, instantly turned into a black dragon and soared into the sky!
Li Xiang was speechless, and he mechanically turned his head to look at Dante.
Dante smiled and said, "This is the Black Dragon Valley, and Her Royal Highness Catherine is a member of the noble Black Dragon Royal Family, that is, the Black Dragon Princess. ”
