    Chapter 122 Sad Crystal Eyes (5)

    Outside the half-collapsed West Hall, the gunpowder smoke after the artillery fire was blown away by a gust of wind, and the raindrops from last night were still hanging on the broken branches and leaves, as if the sky had cried.

    Audley fell to the ground on his side, his beautiful silver hair mixed with dust and sweat.

    He panted deeply in pain, moved with difficulty, turned over, and turned from sideways to lying on his back.

    He heard the harsh rubbing sound of crystals growing from flesh and blood. He looked at the sky with scattered eyes, feeling the pain and changes in his body.

    That's it...is it a mess?

    Can't he go back?

    In mid-air, a small dot quickly enlarged.

    Audley's chapped lips moved, his field of vision was slanted, black and white, but he could still barely make out Xue Jiu's appearance.

    "Jiang..." The voice he squeezed out was almost inaudible, "Don't come here..."

    The manic crystal particles are stirring like a vortex, dyeing this area into a forbidden place to step into and die.

    The sound of the wind was like waves, and the mecha Xuejiu passed through the thin clouds in the roar, and was landing quickly at the limit speed.

    The cockpit was pushed open, and the crown prince rolled over in the wind and landed on the wing.

    "His Royal Highness!" Jiang Jianming leaned out from the inside and shouted, his black hair and the collar of his military uniform were all messed up: "I really have no problem, please don't force it."

    "No." Ryan glanced at the quickly approaching ground, "but you can't stay here for too long, a minute at most."

    He estimated the frequency of crystal particle fluctuations in the air, and signaled, "Jump."

    Xuejiu slid down roughly, raising a trail of smoke and dust, Jiang Jianming jumped out of the mecha.

    At the moment of landing, the red gold crystal cluster bloomed around him like a shadow, tightly protecting him in this manic and disorderly environment.

    There is no need for more communication between the two. Lean has a dual purpose. While controlling the crystal particles around Jiang Jianming's body, he releases the crystal bone and grabs the fainted Donna and drags it to the mecha!

    Jiang Jianming rushed to the door of the West Hall in three or two steps. He looked extraordinarily calm. He quickly knelt down in front of Audley and opened the injection box in his hand.

    The silver-haired youth struggled to curl up in pain, Jiang Jianming pressed him with his knees and elbows, "Audley, wake up!"

    Audley was soaked with sweat. He gradually raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a hoarse smile, "Don't do this, Jiang...it's useless."

    Jiang Jianming took out an injection and plunged it into the opponent's upper arm: "The third-generation tranquilizer newly developed by the base is useful."

    is that useful? Jiang Jianming actually didn't know, because when the leader took out this thing, he just said that he could try it.

    The situation was dire and time was urgent. All thinking was completed in an instant: Lauren's crystal bone was not normal, and the crystal teaching had some black technology from time to time, obviously there was a need for a leader...

    Besides the leader of the base, the person who has a certain tolerance for the high-concentration crystal particle environment and is most familiar with tranquilizer injection is of course the only one left.

    The next thing is logical, Jiang Jianming stepped forward and held the injection box in the leader's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Leader, please let me go."

    And His Royal Highness Le'an did not stop him, but when he unfolded the snow dove, he stepped in without warning, and pressed him into the cockpit together.

    Ding.

    The empty needle was thrown to the ground.

    The chaotic and manic crystal particles became more and more dense, Jiang Jianming took a quick breath, and slowed down with one hand.

    Tranquilizers can only be given up to three shots at a time. If the crystal chaos has not stopped after three shots, all he can do is shoot Audley with his own hands to end the pain.

    After the first needle was pierced, the mutation on Audley's body showed no sign of stopping. His hands and feet had begun to twist and deform, and the flesh and bones were mixed with the randomly growing crystals.

    "Ah..." The silver-haired youth trembled violently, the pain caused him to break down and struggle, his flexed fingers were rubbed on the ground, blood dripping from his fingers, Jiang Jianming could hardly hold him down.

    "But... but at least," Audley raised his arm in a pool of blood, gasped for breath, and said with difficulty, "I see you standing at the highest point of the White Jade Palace, right..."

    He gently stroked Jiang Jianming's black hair with his blood-stained fingers, the crystals on it were reflecting the light that made people cry in the sun.

    The silver-haired youth's expression suddenly became extremely tender in pain, "...His Royal Highness Crown Princess?"

    "One day in the future," Jiang Jianming took out the second injection, his hands were steady and his voice was calm, "you will do the same."

    His eyes quickly observed the tendency of the crystal to spread, the second needle was pierced to the side of the neck, and the needle penetrated deeply into the skin——

    "No, I've..."

    Audley shuddered and closed his eyes, his voice muffled. "I can't watch... Diana... grow up."

    He choked out, "Jiang, you have to help me... take care of..."

    Before he could finish the sentence, Audley's body exploded again with a large number of transparent crystal thorns, each of which was as sharp as a steel needle.

    Jiang Jianming's pupils shrank suddenly, and he watched the sharp crystal thorns enlarge in the fundus of his eyes, stabbing at his right wrist holding the injection!

    Dengdeng, Dengdeng-

    There were footsteps behind him, followed by a figure half-kneeling beside him, Lean grabbed Jiang Jianming's wrist!

    crackle! The crystal thorn broke, but the crystal bone that Ryan hastily condensed on the back of his hand was also pierced through a crack... A few drops of blood fell.

    Jiang Jianming: "Your Highness!"

    Ryan snorted coldly: "Don't look at me, continue!"

    Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth and pushed the second injection to the end: "Sorry, I'm too busy to take care of myself, no one will help you raise your sister, you have to live by yourself."

    Lean stretched his arms around Jiang Jianming's shoulders, and the complete red-gold crystal bones parted the platinum curls and stretched out from His Highness's back.

    The crystal bone was inserted into the hard surface like a blade, forcibly pressing down the restless crystal particles around it.

    The crystal particles on all sides have become extremely chaotic, as if a stormy sea has been set off.

    Jiang Jianming took the last needle out of the box with difficulty. Ryan almost protected him with his own body, and the two worked together to pierce the third needle——

    "Da... Diana..."

    Audley stared blankly, his blue-gray eyes were originally so beautiful, like a proud lone wolf on a snowy field.

    Tears flooded these eyes at the moment, "My... Diana..."

    Tears froze with the crunching sound.

    No...that's not ice.

    It was the crystal particles that condensed on that eyeball, freezing all the emotions in the depths of the eyes.

    Crystal flowers grew out of Audley's eyes, squeezing the tear out of the eye socket and sliding down the ice-white cheek that also covered the crystal.

    The next moment, Jiang Jianming's waist suddenly tightened. Ryan dragged him back and said sternly, "Back up!"

    A cool breeze brushed the bridge of his nose, and the needle in Jiang Jianming's hand fell to the ground and shattered. He stumbled backwards——

    The dazzling white light covered his sight, and before he could see it clearly, he was pushed into his arms by His Highness's crystal bone, and then he was briefly dizzy.

    In the dizziness, the scene just engraved on the retina was reproduced by the brain in hindsight.

    ——It was countless transparent crystal prisms stabbing in all directions with Audley as the center, like an explosion, and like a flower blooming. After about half a minute, the disordered state of the crystal particles gradually stabilized, and Jiang Jianming was released by Laian.

    Jiang Jianming panted low, his black hair was soaked with cold sweat, he supported His Highness's shoulder and looked back, feeling a little dazed for a while.

    "……stop looking."

    Ryan lowered his eyelids, his voice a little hoarse, "Acute crystal disorder is a terminal illness, there is no way."

    In front of her was a huge messy crystal cluster. Audrey was held up in the middle, and about 70% of her body turned into a strange crystal shape, like a beautiful crystal doll.

    Her clothes were tattered, and there was no room for hiding at this moment, whether it was the gender characteristics of being a woman or the racial characteristics of being an Amorphous race.

    And those eyes, covered with crystals, were looking in the direction of the two of them sadly and unwillingly.

    "..."

    Jiang Jianming's face was pale, and when he closed his eyes, his body swayed, and a sense of relief swept through his body, as if a section of his spine had been smashed.

    ... Living in this cruel world, how many people are trapped by the shackles, their hearts are higher than the sky, and their lives are thinner than paper.

    Audrey Lance, the young ruler of the Lance family, Diana's "brother", the only friend in the world who shared the suffering and unwillingness of being a crippled human being with him.

    She wasn't able to actually put on her long dress and take off her gloves in public until she was swallowed by the crystals.

    Only this last glimpse remains.

    A cold wind blew through the broken ruins. Ryan was silent, took a deep look at Jiang Jianming, and tentatively held the opponent's wrist.

    He didn't know how to comfort Jiang Jianming, the former Ryan should know, His Highness thought to himself in annoyance.

    Jiang Jianming shook his hand lightly.

    At this moment, his wrist phone automatically bounced:

    In an instant, Jiang Jianming and Lean looked at each other in astonishment!

    Hope, like a spark revived from the ashes, the two of them turned around in unison, and cast their suspicious eyes back on Audrey in the ice crystal!

    To be honest, it doesn't look like I'm still alive, but...

    Jiang Jianming turned his head abruptly and said quickly, "Your Highness! Madam Donna is still in the mecha, Xue Jiu can't fold it, she has to take down the medical instruments and the treatment cabin..."

    Ryan nodded, and took down his wrist phone, "You go to disassemble the instrument, and then throw it out!"

    The two moved quickly. Jiang Jianming climbed back inside the mecha, removed the medical equipment in Xuejiu in two or three times, pushed it down along the cockpit door, and then unloaded the treatment cabin.

    Ryan responded below. The instrument itself is heavy enough, and the treatment cabin is more than three meters high. Thanks to the crystal bone, it can be lifted directly, and it slams on the ground where the transparent crystal thorns are clustered.

    When Jiang Jianming jumped down from Xuejiu and rushed back, the brain of Seth Henry had already been connected to the instrument by His Royal Highness.

    All kinds of dazzling probes pierced into Audley's body...or into the crystal block on the surface of the body.

    On the instrument, the numbers start to jump up and down.

    Ryan stared straight at the screen and said in a low voice, "I've never seen a smart brain that can automatically turn on and act on its own. It's been several times. Has this dog become a genius?"

    Jiang Jianming was drenched in cold sweat, calculating the pile of numbers in his heart, and said casually, "No, this should be a dog."

    The nonsensical dialogue did not relieve the tension, and every second was tormented.

    Until the beating of the data stopped, a series of voices from the intellectual brain Seth Henry sounded again:

    <...>

    Chronic crystal disorder...late.

    Jiang Jianming was stunned for a long time, and his heart was full of mixed feelings for a while, but he felt weak all over, and he didn't want to move anymore.

    The silver-haired noblewoman in front of her still quietly stared at the distant sky with sad eyes, as if she would never blink again.

    This is the first time he knows that humans have prevented the sudden death caused by the acute crystal disorder.

    But the acute crystal disorder has already progressed to such an extent that it almost turns a living person into a monster, and the late stage of the chronic crystal disorder itself is a state of stepping into the gate of hell, so...

    "So, next..."

    Ryan frowned in obvious confusion, and turned his questioning eyes to the person in his arms, "What should I do?"

    Jiang Jianming shook his head wearily: "Two ways of thinking, give her comfort."

    He bent down to pick up the beam therapy device, and pulled up Ryan's right hand that had just been stabbed: "Or quickly freeze the human body, put her into hibernation, and wait for possible improvements in medical treatments in the future. But..."

    However, even if the chronic crystal disorder can be cured in the future, will Audrey still be able to wake up?

    Even if she wakes up, can her twisted limbs still move, and can those eyes still see things?

    Wake up and face yourself like a monster, is it another kind of torture than death?

    Jiang Jianming's eyes sank slightly, "Your Highness, if it were me..."

    Ryan interrupted him suddenly: "Don't say it."

    Jiang Jianming shook his head, "After all, I'm not her relative, so I can't make up my mind, so I can only tell Diana truthfully."

    He lifted his neck, shadows fell on his pale face. In mid-air, the mecha group of the golden sun wheel came into view, and several of them were landing here.

    ... The matter is not over yet, every minute counts on the battlefield, and even the time to grieve over separation is a luxury.

    Boom, the used beam therapy device was thrown on the ground.

    Jiang Jianming first gently rubbed His Highness's palm with his fingers, then slid up and held down the folded Mecha Slashing Comet.

    I don't know when, his eyes have regained his composure and tenacity: "Leave Xueguo's treatment cabin to Audrey, let's go to join L-Hidongqing and continue to hunt down Lauren."
