Chapter 38 Dark Blood (2)
Chapter 38 Dark Blood (2)
Inside the Heroic Spirit Monument, voices and footsteps echoed.
Xie Yuduo: "...In short, this is the case. Now Yinbeidou admits the existence of such a second prince on the bright side. Why did he grow up at the Black Shark Base since he was a child, and only went to the battlefield three years ago..."
"But many people still mutter in their hearts, thinking that the so-called second highness is the crown prince who has been resurrected from the dead, or not dead. After all, you have seen that face, it's too similar."
"This is the minefield of His Royal Highness Garcia. It's okay for the first-time offender and the inadvertent slip of the tongue, but if someone imposes his feelings on the crown prince on him, or wants to force him to accept the identity of Ryan..."
"...Let's put it this way. Last year, there was a man with short eyes. Because this matter irritated His Highness, he was cut off by Crystal Bone on the spot."
"Really, I was the one who rushed over to persuade me to come down, otherwise there might be more than one arm."
While talking, Xie Yuduo had already taken Jiang Jianming out of the area of the white obelisk, and in front of him there was only an empty land paved with fine black bricks——
These spaces were obviously prepared for the erection of new memorial monuments.
Jiang Jianming pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded naturally: "...I probably understand."
Xie Yuduo was stunned: "You actually understand!?"
Jiang Jianming: "Your Highness...he has a strong arrogance in his bones, and hates being bound by external forces and things imposed by outsiders. He is a natural conqueror, and when he is faulty, he is really faulty."
Xie Yuduo smiled in surprise: "Conqueror, your little lord would actually say such a thing, how dare the crown prince be so majestic in front of you..."
Jiang Jianming also smiled gently: "He was originally a lion, he just likes to act like a big cat in front of me."
In short, it is rebellion, it is willfulness.
As long as you don't mess with him, he won't have the air of an imperial prince at all.
This person would go to the trading area in the evening to buy apples and eat them personally, would drive a mecha overnight to rescue a group of little kids who were adapting officers, and could even... be rubbed by a handicapped human being.
But if he is unhappy, even if the crown of the imperial prince is held in front of him, this person can throw it to the ground and step on it again.
... So, the new identity of the second prince, is it possible that Ryan asked for it himself after he lost his memory?
Jiang Jianming was secretly sorting out his logic, but Xie Yuduo's voice interrupted his thoughts.
The major general raised his finger and said, "We're here, there's a secret door there."
Speaking of Xie Yuduo, he turned on the lighting function of the wrist phone. Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes from the strong light, and looked up after getting used to the brightness.
Sure enough, there was a floor tile that was different. Xie Yuduo stepped forward and swayed a few times. The "floor tile" moved, revealing a downward passage.
Xie Yuduo stepped down the steel ladder first, and Jiang Jianming followed behind.
By the time his feet hit the ground, Xie Yuduo had already used his wrist phone to illuminate the scene in front of him.
Jiang Jianming held his breath.
Because it just lay there quietly.
At that time, Crown Prince Le'an flew the mecha directly into the universe, so the crown of Jin Xiao in front of him was flying.
It was a huge dark-gold beast-like machine, with four legs and wings, like a griffin in ancient mythology, and human beings were as small as a leaf in front of it.
Its head is low, its body is low, a pair of broken iron wings are dragging on the ground, and small grains are condensed between the cracks. Even though his whole body has lost its luster due to hibernation, there is still an invisible sense of oppression.
This is - the most powerful mecha of the current human interstellar empire, the crown of L-Jin Xiao.
"Jin Xiao...I haven't seen it for a long time."
Jiang Jianming took off his right glove, reached out and stroked the body with small scars, his movements were so gentle that it was almost sympathetic.
This is a mecha flying over the edge of the crystal nest... in the limit of human beings.
After years of wars and beacon fires, he has traveled thousands of miles to the Zhouhe River.
It must have been hard work too.
Xie Yuduo folded his arms around his chest, raised his eyes and looked at the mecha again. He narrowed his phoenix eyes: "At that time, I personally led someone to recover the crown of Jin Xiao, and it was parked in the outer area of the crystal nest."
"There are traces of fighting with powerful alien creatures on the fuselage, but not to the extent of a death fight. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have taken the initiative to stop the mecha before entering the truly dangerous area."
Jiang Jianming raised his head: "Did he deliberately want to keep Jin Xiao's crown?"
Xie Yuduo: "It may also be a forced landing after the energy is exhausted, but the possibility is very small."
Then you have to open the mecha and check the energy situation to know.
Jiang Jianming tapped on his wrist phone: "Set, get up, can you open your fuselage?"
On the wrist phone, a line of blue light suddenly popped up, and the blue light flew towards the crown of Jin Xiao with a trail, and gradually became golden as it approached.
Jiang Jianming and Xie Yuduo raised their heads, and they stared intently at Seth Henry's gleam of golden light penetrating the fuselage of Jin Xiaozhi's crown.
Xie Yuduo's breathing was a little short, and he licked his lips.
Jiang Jianming said: "Site, try to open the second cockpit."
Xie Yuduo shouted in surprise: "It's done!"
Jiang Jianming didn't say a word, and immediately climbed the fuselage to the position of the cockpit door, holding his right hand on the edge of the door.
……what?
Jiang Jianming couldn't help frowning, how could the concentration of crystal particles in the cockpit be so high... Could it be because they flew over the crystal nest area?
However, with Jin Xiao's performance, the crystal particles should not penetrate into the cockpit.
"Little Your Excellency?"
Xie Yuduo called from below when he saw that he was not moving.
Suddenly, Jiang Jianming smelled a faint sweet smell, and drilled out along the gap of the cockpit door.
taste of blood.
"!?"
Jiang Jianming's expression suddenly changed.
With both hands, he slammed open the hatch!
The next moment, the thick blood energy and the riotous high-concentration crystal particle tide mixed together and rushed to the face!
Jiang Jianming was forced to stumble a bit by the wave of crystal particles, and lowered his eyebrows abruptly——
If it wasn't for the extra injection of sedatives in preparation for the special situation before he came, this would be enough to knock him out.
An ominous premonition suddenly came to mind, Jiang Jianming endured the discomfort and palpitations, turned over and jumped into the cockpit.
In an instant, the scene in front of him caused his pupils to shrink violently to a point, and the hairs on his body stood on end, numb from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
Blood... The color of blood permeates everything that can be seen.
In the dimly lit cockpit, there was dry, shocking black blood everywhere.
There was blood on the armrest of the driver's seat, blood condensed in the gap of the console, and a large amount of blood splattered on the dark screen, even above the head...underground...everywhere.
It was as if a person's body was torn apart alive, and all the blood in the body splattered in all directions.
And this terrifying trace has been hidden in the mecha for three years.
"Sir, slow down...!?"
Xie Yuduo had just rushed into the cockpit, and was shocked by the sight and took two steps back, speechless!
Jiang Jianming's stomach suddenly twitched violently, his face turned pale, his legs fell to his knees, and he retched while holding on to the cold bulkhead.
This is the internal cockpit of the mecha. Only one cockpit is raised. There is no sign of the hatch being damaged by the invasion, and there is no trace of battle in the cabin.
Then these flying bloodstains can only belong to...
"Le... Ann."
Jiang Jianming gasped, the darkness and silence around him seemed to be infinitely sticky.
In the chaos, he felt a kind of tearing pain in a trance, the pain of the bones being pulled out of the body alive.
His little highness, his...
Jiang Jianming's eyes widened blankly, and tears fell without any warning - there was no reason, as if it should be like this.
Xie Yuduo suddenly held his armpit from behind: "No, little sir, the concentration of crystal particles here is not right! Let's go out first, go out first!!"
Jiang Jianming's consciousness was in chaos, he struggled to get away from the major general's support, but he fell back to the ground all of a sudden.
His wrist rested on the blood-stained floor, and in the black and red he saw traces similar to fingerprints, very messy.
Has anyone ever fallen here painfully? Have the hands that once embraced you ever struggled in a pool of blood?
The high concentration of crystal particles in the cockpit... Will these crystal particles be lost from the flesh and bones of the new crystal human?
Jiang Jianming gasped in a low breath, and suddenly couldn't breathe in any more air. His heart throbbed in pain and then stopped suddenly. His lips quickly turned blue and purple, and a sense of suffocation swept his lungs.
He seems to be...
To die like this in this dark blood.
In the confusion, there was a tingling pain in the back of the neck.
It is the familiar feeling of liquid being pushed into the body.
"..." After a while, Jiang Jianming took a breath and opened his eyelashes in cold sweat.
Tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, and through the misty mist, he saw the retracting mechanical claw with a needle at the tip.
Set manipulated the crown of Jin Xiao to give him a crystal particle tranquilizer.
The pain in the body was suppressed little by little.
With the injection of the drug, the collapsed mood also calmed down.
"Little Your Excellency!!"
With a clear vision, Xie Yuduo was holding his shoulder anxiously: "Look at me, breathe slowly... Yes, breathe hard."
Jiang Jianming let out a sigh of relief, and wearily braced his forehead: "It's alright... I'm fine, sorry, maybe just now... I was a little frightened."
Xie Yuduo shook his head solemnly, looked around, and whispered: "Don't think about it, it's not necessarily... I don't know what it is now."
Jiang Jianming was helped by Xie Yuduo.
He remained silent, raising his sleeves and wiping away the remaining tears with the back of his hands.
The fast-paced heartbeat in the chest cavity has not yet calmed down, Jiang Jianming strenuously walked to the screen while supporting the wall, and sat on the blood-stained driver's seat.
Xie Yuduo hesitated, he wanted to persuade Jiang Jianming to go out for a rest, but when he saw the latter's eyes, he swallowed the words back.
As a result, the slender fingers of the residual crystal human fell in front of the screen. The virtual console unfolded, and a faint golden light surrounded Jiang Jianming's fingertips.
"Jin Xiao is not an ordinary mecha. Ordinary people can't control it even if they enter the cockpit."
Jiang Jianming's voice is still a little hoarse, but he has regained his calmness, "Forcible access will be backlashed, all I can do is activate the body's energy."
He had driven it a few times back then, but those were all temporary permissions granted to him by His Highness, so it should be very difficult now.
Xie Yuduo said solemnly, "Enough is enough."
Soon, the screen lights up, and the data graphs are dazzling.
Jiang Jianming checked it and turned around and said, "The energy is still enough. The mecha was indeed parked here on purpose by Ryan."
"Mecha video and crystal particle monitoring data can be viewed. The duration is not short. I will send it to you."
"Other... eh?"
Jiang Jianming suddenly frowned, he tapped his fingers a few times quickly, and found a message that showed "unread".
The time of sending the letter is the same day as the day when the mecha shut down and hibernated, and the sender is...
It is the crown of L-Jin Xiao.
It was Ryan himself who sent the message.
He clicked it open, a snowflake flashed on the screen, and a few lines of "text" that were too blurry to read appeared.
Xie Yuduo changed color. What kind of knowledgeable person this major general is, he immediately realized that it was an encrypted text message.
"Last Word?"
Jiang Jianming was stunned for a second, then laughed angrily, "Leave a last word in the mecha that I can't open even if I don't come here? He really has him."
Xie Yuduo's fingers were shaking, and his Adam's apple moved: "I will make a copy and let the technical department decipher it as soon as possible...!"
Jiang Jianming tapped his fingers quickly: "No, I'll try it first. I'm familiar with several passwords that Your Highness likes to use - Seth, help me calculate."
About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Jianming's eyes lit up.
"...That's right."
Starting from the first line, the blurred parts gradually solidified and became the general text of the empire.
The first line is simply four words.
"my sweetheart."
Xie Yuduo looked at Jiang Jianming silently.
Jiang Jianming was shocked.
This message was really left to him.
What would Ryan write in it?
He must know the fate of his own death. What is he going to say to "his lover" - the "lover" who has cut off ties with him coldly?
Jiang Jianming even thought that if the truth was written on the message, it wrote about the conspiracy and the murderer.
Then the rest of his life is destined to start from this moment
revenge
On the road of blood, there is no turning back.
Subsequent texts are also condensed.
Unexpectedly, it's very short, only four lines in total.
Jiang Jianming got closer and read it out softly.
"Please……"
...
"—Please ignite those withered years, pass through the remnants of the old civilization and the cold stars, and wake up in my arms before the dawn of mankind."
...
There was silence in the cockpit.
"..."
After more than ten seconds, Jiang Jianming leaned back on the backrest of the driver's seat and looked at Xie Yuduo in confusion.
What does this mean, he doesn't understand.
There is no truth, no conspiracy, no murderer, not even the last words of exhortation.
The flickering words reflected a large piece of dull blood on the screen.
Like a tender and cruel parting poem.
The author has something to say: wait for a long time, murmured yesterday, so today will send a red envelope.
Small patch: The mecha levels of Jin Xiaozhi and Iron Rose are super S, not S. The S-level mecha has not been played yet, so don't confuse it!
