Chapter 196 Spark Sleep (5)

Xie Yuduo only responded, and before he could appease the garrisoned troops in the fortress, Sylph's communication rang.

"Leader! I'm Jiang Sheng. Just now, His Royal Highness Le'an entered the dark room at the base of the Heroic Spirit Monument. The place where Mingming's remains are—"

"Now the dark room has collapsed directly. This area is covered with His Highness's true crystals, and the crystals are still growing!"

Xie Yuduo and Sylph looked at each other, and they were indeed at the corpse...!

"let's go."

It was not yet dawn, but it was fast. The two immediately rushed to the Heroic Spirit Monument at the fastest speed. There were real crystals spreading everywhere along the way, and soldiers who were overwhelmed.

"how so!?"

Xie Yuduo said anxiously, "Isn't the matter of your little lord there is hope, why is Your Highness at this time..."

Sylph: "I don't know, but Major General, please prepare yourself mentally."

Rao was mentioned like this, and when he arrived in the dark room, Xie Yuduo was still shocked.

The surface of that piece really collapsed, and there were crystals of red gold everywhere, and the flaming crystal bones burned out from the ground, exuding terrifying pressure and heat.

"Leader, Major General Xie!" Jiang Sheng stood there with a blushing face. "I tried it, but the automatic door is deformed and cannot be opened. My crystal bone can't even pry this real crystal..."

"Back off." The leader said nothing, and took out a few micro-exploding bombs for the real crystal from under her black robe.

Xie Yuduo: "No, His Royal Highness's real crystal, ordinary new crystal weapons can't be blasted..."

Jiang Sheng screamed: "Leader! Can't blow up, can't blow up, my family is still inside!!"

Sylph: "I didn't expect it to explode, I was knocking on the door."

"!?"

Before the two could react, the leader threw the blasting bomb out.

After a deafening loud noise, the scorching hot wind blows in the face, so fascinated that people can't open their eyes.

Looking at it a few seconds later, the crystal bone entrenched there was unscathed, but it moved as if it had been awakened.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but widen his eyes... A bomb is used to knock on the door, how terrifying the crystal bone of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is...

I saw Sylph shouting "it's me" and "open the door" twice, but Crystal Bone did not respond; Sylph also said that she was just here to confirm the safety of Your Excellency Jiang Xiao, and after shouting several times, Crystal Bone. The boss reluctantly made way for a gap.

The leader showed the crystal bone and directly lifted the collapsed and deformed automatic door.

The three rushed into the dark room. In an instant, Xie Yuduo and Jiang Sheng opened their eyes in disbelief at the same time!

"This……!?"

They doubted themselves first.

Doubt your eyes and brain, even doubt if you are in a ridiculous dream.

The dark room has completely changed.

All those who enter will be shocked by the magnificent red gold at first glance; but if they take a second look, they are destined to feel a chilling chill—

The walls were covered with large sheets of crystalline material. The red-gold color spreads in all directions with a certain point as the center, like a giant piranha in full bloom, and the highest point reaches the ceiling of the dark room.

An inhuman being, entangled and suspended in the center of this crystalline substance.

Ryan's appearance is hard to call human.

He lowered his head, his face covered by long hair. The red-gold crystals kept growing from the heart and back, the limbs were gone, and the ends were completely crystallized and expanded, spreading wantonly.

Beneath those crystal clear crystals, the structures of flesh, blood vessels and bones that belong to humans can be clearly seen.

They squirmed and rubbed unhurriedly as if they were alive. So the walls were twisting, and the entire dark room seemed to be the stomach of some kind of living being.

"temple……"

Xie Yuduo's throat was dry, and his lips moved twice before he made a sound, "Your Highness... Your Majesty?"

"What's going on here, then, is that really... Is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Jiang Sheng's eyes were straight, and he said in a trembling voice, "He was still talking to me an hour or two ago?"

——Two completely different life forms are blended together, and the visual effect formed is too nauseating. There are no other words to describe it but heresy or monster.

Sylph slowly closed her eyes, shook her head and sighed.

"Yes, it's really hard to explain, but that is indeed our Highness Ryan."

The glass coffin and one smart lamp both shattered, but the other survived, still suspended in mid-air.

Then the faint light shone on the floor, and every shard of glass reflected the eerie sight.

Suddenly, Jiang Sheng changed color and blurted out: "Mingming!?"

Xie Yuduo raised his head when he heard the sound, only to find that there was still a figure in the center, but it was blocked by the strange flesh crystal bone and Ryan, and it was difficult to see clearly at the first time.

Major General's scalp is numb.

That is Jiang Jianming's body!

Several red-gold soft crystal bones crossed the youth's waist, shoulders, and legs, holding him in the air.

This posture made the limbs and head of the disabled human fall naturally, like an out-of-control string puppet, and the neck was slumped and folded back in a large arc, revealing the fragile Adam's apple like white porcelain.

Under the action of gravity, the lips opened a gap unconsciously; the crow-feather-like eyelashes were coated with a layer of silver light, and the eyelids were also forced to open slightly, and the dark pupils with dilated pupils were faintly visible.

Ryan put his cheek on Jiang Jianming's forehead, expressionless, just leaning against him quietly.

And those weird crystal bones differentiated from his body are slowly climbing up the limbs of the corpse, swimming back and forth through every inch of skin.

Dark space, soft white high-tech suspended lights, shattered glass, crystals that contain flesh and blood are growing...

The dead human beings are delicate and handsome, and they are unaware of how they are manipulated; while the living monsters are huge and treacherous, greedily engulfing the tiny remains bit by bit.

It's all intertwined in suffocating silence, presenting an absurd, perhaps a bit indescribably morbid beauty.

Suddenly, a whimper broke the silence.

"Chief! Boss!!"

Jiang Sheng shook his hands in grief and indignation. Obviously, the big mecha master's focus is different from ordinary people: "No matter how he is, His Royal Highness, he can't spoil my family like this!

Sylph: "...Please calm down, what should be ruined, it was ruined a long time ago. It shouldn't be ruined, and His Highness will not do it now."

Xie Yuduo only felt his temples jumping: "Then what do we do now!?"

"I can't do anything for the time being, what do you think you can do with the existence in front of you?"

Sylph looked like the old god was there, and even picked up a corner of the black robe and sat down: "Knock on the door can prove that you have not completely lost your mind. Please feel sorry for your little lord for a while, let His Highness vent for a while. ."

"leader!?"

"The two of you are content, such a monster, after revealing its prototype, the instinct is neither to kill nor to destroy, just want to hug another human... It's already very worry-free, isn't it?"

"It seems reasonable for you to say that—"

...what a ghost! Xie Yuduo was about to collapse, but the problem was that it shouldn't be a monster, it should be their Crown Prince!

Why didn't the leader panic at all, and he could still tease them so calmly! ?

Just then, the leader's communication rang again.

"Sylph... Sylph!"

This time it was actually the voice of the female emperor, Lin Ge screamed in a frenzy: "What's wrong with the little bastard, your body is out of control again!? Let me tell you, the real crystals have grown into the White Jade Palace - now The nine star cities are being affected!!”

"I told you back then that you shouldn't use the data of 000 to make the matrix. You stupid girl must listen to him and not me. What else do you say he has a number? I bah, he can have a bullshit number, he!?"

Sylph: "Are there casualties?"

Lin Ge: "Not for now, but this is not a matter of casualties! After the truth is revealed, our Highness Le'an won't come back to support the situation. It will definitely collapse. I order you to solve it immediately, immediately!"

Sylph hung up the communication mercilessly.

Under the inexhaustible gazes of the two men behind her, she raised her head and looked towards the center of the dark room.

In such a short period of time, Ryan's form has changed again.

His face was starting to melt into a crystalline substance from where it came into contact with Jiang Jianming, and his chest was cracking even more, as if he was about to swallow his lover whole.

He is farther and farther away from the concept of human beings.

...

Beyond the fortress, the horizon lit up little by little.

On the starship port, Jin Ilun was lining up outside the ship, waiting to return to the country with the crown prince.

"Why haven't you ordered yet?"

"His Royal Highness and His Excellency the leader have not come..."

Time passed in anxiety, the soldiers whispered, and the originally neat queue began to loosen.

After the sudden shock, the fortress returned to calm. Major General Xie immediately subpoenaed that it was not an enemy attack, so don't panic. But the appearance of the red gold crystal still made the army uneasy.

Just lost the moment of His Highness Jiang, if something happens quietly to the crown prince, no one will be able to bear it.

The soldiers did not know that the crown prince they were worried about had completely changed at this moment.

The depths of the underground heroic monument.

At this time, nearly an hour has passed since Ryan's alienation. It completely lost its human appearance and turned into a pool of flesh and blood crystals.

And Jiang Jianming's body has also been swallowed by the crystalline substance.

After being fiddled with and stroked for about an hour, the crippled human finally froze into a half-curled position, with lowered eyebrows and closed eyes, like a worm forever sealed in amber, like a fetus sleeping peacefully under the protection of its mother.

"His Royal Highness Ryan" - that is, those flesh and blood crystal blocks stopped walking.

Finally being able to protect the fragile lover in his depths, this state makes it extremely satisfying.

"This……"

Xie Yuduo and Jiang Sheng raised their heads, looking at the crystal and the figure inside, cold sweat broke out.

"No matter what, His Royal Highness..."

Jiang Sheng's eyes were straight, and he muttered, "I can't just eat my son just because he's too attractive, right? Major General Xie?"

Xie Yuduo was equally dumb: "... Your Excellency Jiang, you are silent now and no one will treat you as a mute. Otherwise, would you try to dig out the little lord?"

- of course this is nonsense. Looking at the entire empire, no one can do anything about the alienated Super S Grade crystal bone. In the current situation, unless Ryan Ken takes the initiative to "spit out" Jiang Jianming's body, and then obediently turns back into a human body...otherwise, no one can do it.

But this is the situation, can it really change back?

Just then.

Sylph glanced at the time on the wrist and stood up.

"His Royal Highness, it is almost dawn, and the army is still waiting for you to lead the departure."

The dark room was quiet.

The crystalline substance did not react at all.

The leader shook his head, "I know His Highness is sad."

She glanced at the broken wrist phone on the ground. The small machine was also swallowed up by the crystal, and the virtual screen halfway through the projection was still flashing repeatedly between those frames.

"In the past two days after watching the monitoring, I have been thinking...why did the crystal bone ring's consciousness not fully wake up until that day."

"Since you have the power to bring the dead back to life, why does your original body consciousness bear to let the little Lord suffer for so long in the chronic crystal disorder, and even let him go to the brink of death?"

The huge crystal monster in front of him finally reacted.

Crack... Crack. Its chips began to grow again, wrapping the core where Jiang Jianming was located more tightly, and the harsh sound when rubbing was like weeping.

Sylph: "Just now, I want to understand."

"Crystal chaos can accumulate crystal particles in the human body and maintain a high concentration of activity. If there is no chronic crystal disorder in the middle stage, there will not be enough crystal particles to nourish the human body."

"Little Your Excellency's crystal chaos is not a repeat of the same mistakes, but a life of death. You asked him to reunite with you across suffering, he has done it, and you have done it too."

The black-clothed leader walked towards the monster. She took off her black armored gloves and pressed her wrinkled palm to the crystal.

"So... try harder and don't despair."

In the dimness, those weird crystals were silent, and through the clear skin, the flesh and blood vessels inside could be seen beating.

Sylph patted the crystal block under her hand.

She sighed: "Otherwise, do you want to be like this forever?"

"Ryan" slowly protruded a limb.

Under the transparent epidermis, the cells belonging to human are rapidly dividing and combining, forming two strip-shaped pieces of meat, which are the vocal cords.

And the crystal bone reluctantly took on the duties of the teeth and tongue, and they vibrated together and made a sound:

"……forever……"

It was a hair-raising voice, but it was somewhat similar to Ryan's original voice.

Sylph: "Yes, forever. When the sea dies, humans perish, and stars turn into corpses. You will also be assimilated by crystal particles and become a cluster of crystals that have lost their feelings and self, and will sleep forever in the universe with your little lord."

The crystalline material wriggled, as did the cells inside. It seems to be less able to control its own disorder, and it has transformed into two human vocal cords.

The three vocal cords vibrated at the same time, making a dazed sound:

"……forever……"

More than a dozen crystalline filaments hung down like rain, falling on Sylph's face and shoulders, and one even wrapped around the leader's neck.

"Chief!" The faces of the two men behind them turned pale.

Shadows shrouded Sylph, who simply reached out and took off the mask, letting it land on his feet with a thud.

The huge monster leaned down and got closer.

The three vocal cords turned into twisted sarcomas and were engulfed by the crystals, and the cells re-divided and proliferated, this time giving birth to a green, emerald-like eyeball the size of a fist.

Sylph smiled wistfully, with pity in her eyes, and nodded lightly: "Yes, yes... I know. It's not easy to love someone, right?"

"Be a human who can love and hate, and be happy..."

"Having lived such a turbulent, short and involuntary small life..."

"It's not easy, is it?"

Sylph lowered her eyes, letting the years draw thin and soft wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

She stroked "Ryan"'s crystalline body like a lost child, and coaxed softly, "But..."

"The bunting pigeons in the Central Park of Aslan Star City, every soldier waiting for you on the starship port, the names buried in this heroic monument and the starry sky above... oh, and four years ago from the alien star. Asaka, the ring you gave and the person wearing the ring."

"Could it be that these together will not last forever?"

In the darkness, something flashed.

The monster quietly hid the remnant human beings in it deeper, into places where the light could not reach.

But a tear overflowed from its emerald-like eyes and slid down the red-gold crystal.

After Jiang Jianming died, Ryan Kaios shed tears for the first time.

He also knew.

Of course he already knew.

The human being who was hidden in his body died, and his death was neither complete nor happy, but he tried his best to love until the last moment.

Love this illusory and impermanent world like the morning dew, love all beings in the world, and love the only one among all beings.

If not human...

Even if eternity is realized, how can he love Jiang Jianming, how can he accept Jiang Jianming's love?

The crystal particles in the body became manic, screaming in the depths of his soul. Those noises that polluted his mind seemed to drag him into the bottom of the chaotic abyss, and countless phantoms and spots flashed before his eyes, trying to corrupt him and assimilate him.

And in the midst of this chaos, another faint consciousness whispered to him.

I will not allow you to lose your mind and love and hate and become a monster.

——Suddenly, a sharp cracking sound resounded through the ground.

"Leader beware!!"

Xie Yuduo rushed up, and the crystal bone stretched out to protect the leader. In the next instant, countless broken chips smashed onto the Major General's crystal bone.

I saw that the flesh and blood crystal entrenched in the dark room suddenly swelled in a circle. The outer skin of its crystals burst open, blood spilled on the ground, and the insanely growing sarcoma filled the gaps - from the bulging sarcoma, at least a hundred emerald-colored eyeballs grew.

And teeth, tongues, fingers, viscera or half-organ... all kinds of human tissues that ordinary people know or don't know.

Xie Yuduo: "...grass."

leader:"."

"..."

Jiang Sheng's face was already pale, and it was obvious that he had worked hard for a long time to restrain the urge to retching.

His expression was extremely tangled, and he shrank his neck and said carefully: "His Royal Highness, although it is obvious that people are not judged by their appearances, this child is sometimes quite condescending..."

The monster was silent for about half a minute, as if he didn't expect this to happen.

It awkwardly put Jiang Jianming inside itself, barely controlling the regrown vocal cords, and asked the leader, "How...to be...human."

Sylph: "Think about it yourself."

monster:"……"

"Don't stare at me with so many eyes, little highness. I have never been in this form before, and other people have no relevant experience. You have to work hard to change it back on your own."

"Don't worry, your original body has also experienced it, there is no problem in theory - in theory."

The author has something to say:

The innocent little monster just wants to stick with Jiang Tie too much (?

Sylph: It's heartbreakingly skilled...I'm talking about myself.
