    Chapter 275 Wake up in your arms (5)

    How does it feel to shoot yourself?

    Jiang Jianming actually didn't perceive it clearly. All his mind was used to support his aura under the dense flow of crystal particles. The bullet pierced through him with excruciating pain, and consciousness flew away in the next instant.

    It was also the pain that pulled him back from nothingness.

    Every inch of his body seemed to be crushed, and he seemed to be stuck in the depths of the endless mud, unable to move.

    Jiang Jianming was so in pain that he wished he could faint again, but the only thought that flashed in his mind was: he is still alive, that is... the bet is won.

    He struggled several times, trying to maintain that little bit of sobriety, until he had enough strength to open his eyes.

    This time, Jiang Jianming finally saw where he was.

    The former founding commander lay on his back in the depths of the crystals alienated by his majesty. But this time it was not completely swallowed up, the crystal surrounding him stopped beating, and there was a dead silence all around.

    "Lai...cough...cough..."

    Vocalization has become extremely difficult. Jiang Jianming couldn't stop gasping for breath, his five fingers spasmed and clasped the crystal under his body, "Lian..."

    The surrounding light is dim. He leaned over and pressed his forehead against the cold crystal, closed his eyes, and let his senses go.

    His spiritual power was conducted along the invisible crystal particles, trying to perceive the familiar breath from these crystals that had lost their temperature and the flesh that no longer wriggled.

    This is Ryan's body...a part of Ryan.

    When it once held itself, it was warm and soft.

    But now, Jiang Jianming's spirit can only touch the fragments of consciousness that are on the verge of extinction. Cold, withered, lifeless, no response.

    Ryan...

    In just a few seconds, Jiang Jianming's lips were already gray. He still closed his eyes, but his breathing became more and more disordered, and his whole body trembled as if cold.

    This body has long been riddled with holes, and now it is just stitched together by Ryan. If you struggled hard, it would inevitably fall apart again.

    It was in this case that he had to mobilize his mental power to repair another consciousness that had been torn apart.

    The danger in it is no less than using both hands to forcibly stop the out-of-control machine, either successfully stopping or being twisted into a pool of blood.

    Jiang Jianming forced himself to remain calm, imitating the feeling of manipulating the mecha, he just pressed his mental power down.

    Ryan seems to recognize the spiritual power of his lover subconsciously. Those fragments of consciousness that are stuck in madness are agitated at first, and then gradually become obedient and let him act tamely.

    only……

    Jiang Jianming smiled bitterly, his vision had begun to blur, how long could he last with this broken shell?

    "Lian, wake up... wake up." He gently stroked the crystal under his fingertips and said in a trembling voice, "I can't hold on for long... You have to wake up and see me by your own will..."

    However, in the next moment, a sharp cracking sound suddenly came from Jiang Jianming's ear.

    He raised his head abruptly, and saw with his own eyes a transparent white crystal pierced from the outside, bloody pierced through the flesh and bone tissue combined with the crystal!

    Followed by the second and third!

    "—!"

    Jiang Jianming's pupils contracted.

    In the depths of the crystal nest, in the vast white storm, countless crystal particles gathered towards the place where the former human emperor was.

    Mother Nucleus sensed his weakness and saw this moment as an excellent opportunity. The crystal particles released attacks frantically, trying to completely shred Ryan's body into a crystal!

    Between the lightning bolts, another crystal edge broke through this crystal space.

    With a harsh, crisp sound, the tip hovered in front of Jiang Jianming's raised pupils!

    No, there is no time.

    If it goes on like this, can't wait for him to slowly wake up Ryan's consciousness, and the latter will be eaten to death by crystal particles!

    "..."

    Jiang Jianming gasped for breath, and he stared at the cold crystal edge for two seconds.

    The next moment, he suddenly propped up his body, aimed his chest at the sharp point, and hit it straight!

    clang! ! ——

    There was no pain to tear his body apart, there was only a broken sound in his ears.

    Just one second before the crystal edge was about to pierce the crippled human being, a fiery color burst out of thin air, breaking the crystal edge in half.

    "Jiang... see... Ming!!"

    A voice that was so furious that it was almost insane came from the depths of his spiritual consciousness.

    Inside the body of the originally dead and colorless "monster", a red-gold color suddenly burned. The color was dyed inch by inch like the flames of a prairie prairie, and the terrifying aura was awakened.

    With the crisp sound of "crack" and "crack", the white crystal clusters that penetrated into the depths were broken one by one.

    "I am here."

    Jiang Jianming blinked his eyelashes and panted with a pale face, "There's really no other way but to take some extreme measures... um."

    Red-gold crystals stick out from behind him and cover his mouth fiercely.

    Deep in his consciousness, the voice gritted its teeth with hatred: "Shut up, I don't want to hear you."

    Jiang Jianming frowned and smiled, but the smile soon dissipated. He tilted his head weakly and closed his eyes, and Ren Laian slowly laid himself in the crystallized crystal.

    ... His condition is already extremely bad, and if he doesn't take a sigh of relief, he will really pass.

    Ryan was so mad that he returned to one yard, knowing that Jiang Jianming tried his best to drag him back from the edge of dissipated consciousness. No matter how ferocious the attitude is, the crystal bone does not dare to stop for a moment, sending the energy needed to maintain life into the body in his arms.

    Those incoming crystal particles became nutrients instead. In recent years, Crystal Nest has not dared to provoke him, but it has been a long time since he has hunted such energetic crystal particles.

    Jiang Jianming didn't speak, his mental power continued to penetrate deep into Ryan's consciousness, smoothing out those turbulent mental cracks one by one.

    The two of them were silent in the depths of the isolated crystal nest. One heals the other's body, and one soothes the other's spirit. The two become one, the water and milk blend together, and nothing in the world can disturb them.

    Time flows slowly.

    Until a certain moment, Jiang Jianming vaguely felt the vibration of the earth, and the entire crystal nest began to shake.

    He opened his eyes sharply, and at the same time, Ryan's crystals receded from him in time.

    Suddenly, a pair of human arms embraced him from behind.

    "Don't look back." A hoarse voice.

    It was no longer from the depths of consciousness, but from the mouth of a human being, Ryan Kaios' voice!

    Jiang Jianming's heart trembled, and he subconsciously held the familiar palm tightly: "Lean!?"

    There was a light and not heavy touch on his shoulder and neck. Someone rested his chin lightly on his shoulder, and the curly blond hair swayed in the corner of his field of vision.

    "Commander... stay safe."

    There was a smile of relief in his voice, "How is it, do you miss me? Do you like that crystal bone ring?"

    Self-proclaimed indifference like Jiang Jianming, he almost shed tears at this cry.

    He didn't even listen to what Ryan had to say, he choked out "Your Majesty", turned and turned back—

    "..."

    "..."

    Jiang Jianming's brows jumped stiffly.

    There is no shadow of His Majesty the Great Emperor behind him, but a large piece of flesh and blood combined with crystals.

    It's just a pair of arms growing out of the crystal, they just hugged him, and now they spread their fingers innocently.

    There is also a human head growing out of the crystal. It is indeed the beautiful face of Kaios the Great. Unfortunately, the neck has turned into a crystal halfway, and there is no upper body.

    As for the torso that the rest of the human beings should have, they are even missing.

    Green eyes and black eyes meet.

    Two people. No, a person and a head. Also not right, a person and a non-human...

    In short, their faces were expressionless, and they stared at each other.

    Ryan: "Please don't look back."

    "You can only..."

    Jiang Jianming's expression was subtle, and he asked politely, "Can only the head and hands be changed back to human appearance?"

    Ryan looked grim: "No clothes."

    Jiang Jianming was silent again.

    He imagined the Founding Emperor fighting against the crystal nest naked, or naked but only his private parts were covered by the crystal bone.

    Um... um, how to say?

    In fact, if the commander-in-chief were to choose, he would prefer comedies to thrillers. But His Majesty wanted face, so he couldn't force it.

    "Well, you can do it like this, I'll try to get used to it."

    Jiang Jianming decided to skip this topic. He kept his face straight and tried his best to stand up, "I don't know how long it has been, but when I fired, there were still twelve hours before Pangu's axe was fully charged..."

    He tried to stand up straight as he spoke. Unexpectedly, when propped up upper body, felt that chest sank, and with the sound of jingling, almost lost balance and fell forward.

    "ginger!"

    Ryan's expression changed, and he quickly supported him, "Slow down, your body isn't quite able to move yet."

    ... No, it's not just about the body.

    Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes and looked down, only to realize later that he was wearing the military uniform of the Grand Marshal when the new empire was founded.

    And the chest is full of dazzling, full of medals that he knows or does not know, obviously it is the honor that His Majesty bestows after he left.

    Ryan seemed a little guilty, looked away, and cleared his throat: "Cough...do you like it?"

    Jiang Jianming: "."

    ...thank you, but it's so fucking heavy.

    The poor commander's body is already weak, and he has been lying dead for many years, and it is no longer easy to move. This military uniform full of medals was enough to weigh him down.

    Jiang Jianming reluctantly took off his large and graceful coat, which was more relaxed, "Can your majesty estimate how long it has been since my body died?"

    Ryan: "No, I was almost unconscious before, and you were in a coma for a while. Neither of us has a concept of time."

    Saying that, the red-gold crystal slowly brought something over, "Ask this."

    Jiang Jianming's eyes moved.

    In this weird crystal world, this thing in front of me seems too out of place. It was a whole group of sophisticated equipment, stacked about one meter high, and looked like a mysterious box.

    Jiang Jianming knelt down in front of the machine and looked at it carefully. Even if it is wrapped by Lyanna's translucent crystal, it can be vaguely seen that the logo of the Black Shark Base is engraved on the instrument.

    He understood immediately.

    It is this set of things sent in by the Black Shark Base decades ago that maintains the projection of consciousness between him and Ryan.

    According to Sylph, a little effort also enables two-way communication. Although it is often not even basic communication, it is comparable to the communication between chickens and ducks...

    Jiang Jianming: "I'll try it."

    The crystal subsided obediently, revealing the original appearance of the instrument.

    Jiang Jianming's sharp eyes suddenly saw the exposed pale golden spiritual thread. He reached out and pulled it out, pressed the tip to the back of his head, and closed his eyes to allow his consciousness to penetrate.

    There was no movement for a long time.

    Ryan didn't bother him either, patiently sticking his head out of the crystal, staring intently at the commander's back.

    No way, he hadn't seen this person alive for too long. No matter how look at it now, can't see enough, and the more look at it, the more greedy just want to... swallow people forever.

    This is because Jiang Jianming's psychological quality is excellent, and he was looked at from behind with such a strange look by a human head embedded in a crystal, but he was not affected at all.

    After about five minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, and said solemnly, "Fifteen minutes to fire!"

    Ryan narrowed his eyes: "The success rate is 60% to 68%?"

    "That is my nonsense. The conditions for estimation are not sufficient, and the winning rate cannot be calculated."

    Jiang Jianming struggled to stand up on his knees, "Does Your Majesty still have the strength to move forward?"

    Ryan's crystal held him up, "Of course."

    They looked at each other and said nothing more.

    Because both of them are very clear.

    Before the shocking deception brought about by that shot, the commander-in-chief talked about the last link of Shiratori's plan, which of course was false.

    The win rate of nonsense is also false.

    But there was also something real in that statement.

    For example, if the Pangu Axe could not destroy the mother core with one blow, someone had to complete this task by himself, and lock the winning rate at all costs.

    For another example, the commander once promised that he would fight to the last moment with all mankind.
