Chapter 180: Deep Ruins (4)
"Tell you not to watch it next time, and you probably won't listen."
After Lean sighed, he manipulated the Crown of Dawn to stop outside the crystal nest.
In the dream, the last distance is also gone.
Jiang Jianming finally stopped crying, even though the pain was still tearing his chest.
He seemed to be able to guess what was going to happen next, but he didn't seem to be able to guess at all.
Ryan and the Black Shark base have been completely disconnected. There are no instruments, no scientific research personnel here, and he is exhausted.
What should this person do to extract the crystal particles from his body?
"ginger."
Ryan looked at the distant starry sky peacefully, "I still think you are here."
Fine crystalline substances began to appear on his skin, which had already been damaged by backlash.
"I used to, just want to give you a complete and free life in this new empire that you have been looking forward to for a long time."
"Especially... after learning that your matching substrate is an amorphous human again."
Jiang Jianming was stunned.
He frowned, "...what?"
He suddenly reacted, and then his breath became short of breath.
Sure enough... I am also the substrate that carries the projection of consciousness, and I used to be a person in the same era as Emperor Kaios!
Although he already had guesses in his mind, he had calculated thousands of times, but he never thought that it would be confirmed under such bizarre circumstances!
"Lin Ge said that you should never remember those sufferings, live your life in an ordinary way, and never get involved in the war with Crystal Particles. Me too...I too..."
Ryan was a little speechless.Jiang Jianming stared at him, and couldn't help but continue the sentence: "Do you also think that is the best choice for me?"
"But," Ryan blinked with a smile, and said softly, "But I happened to meet you again, again."
Once again, saw your eyes looking up at the sea of stars, and your soul unwilling to be mediocre.
It turns out that no matter whether you are living in a ruined and troubled world, or born in a prosperous empire with superficial peace, those who are unyielding will never be unyielding.
"So I know you're coming...I want you to come."
No matter how long the road is, no matter how tired you will be in the middle, even if the price is to recall those previous sufferings again.
I want you to overcome obstacles and trek here...
The young Chujun closed his eyes, his brows furrowed in pain, and rich crystal particles began to overflow from his wound!
"Back to our unfinished journey."
again.
Be the one who brings the dawn to the Empire.
"Come and see me and accompany me to triumph."
Countless red-gold shards tore apart flesh and blood, and crawled all over the crown prince's skin, making him look like a cracked crystal doll.
Jiang Jianming watched this scene in shock.
"Wait," I even subconsciously wanted to reach out, and my fingertips passed through nothingness before I realized how stupid it was, "You want to..."
A white light flashed in his mind, and he seemed to understand.
——The crystal particles were implanted in the human body, but the two wars before and after have proved that Leian can counter-suppress the consciousness of the crystal particles by relying on spiritual will.
What if a person's control over the crystal particles reaches a certain level, and even can control the consciousness of every crystal particle in the body?
Is it also possible to forcibly separate the crystal particles from the body?
What if a person's control over the crystal particles even exceeds the racial consciousness of the crystal particles returning to the crystal nest?
Is it possible to make those crystal particles stay somewhere for a long time after being separated?
Like a courtier kneeling in the dark waiting to be recruited.
After waiting for years, someone's arrival.
Jiang Jianming was shocked all over.
The depths of the memory are spinning.The Silver Big Dipper, the Heroic Monument, the golden dawn crown covered in dark blood...
He opened the cockpit with Seth, and the rich crystal particles rushed to his face, making him break down and cry like today.
"If you would... I... I would..."
Ryan raised his hand with difficulty, his brows and eyes were soft.
"Always walk in front of you..."
"Protect you."
Bloody fingers tapped on the keyboard, leaving five lines of words.
It was the five-element characters that Jiang Jianming dreamed about countless times at midnight.
The next second, Jiang Jianming heard the sound of tearing.
so close.
"...!"
Ryan's whole body tensed up, he gritted his teeth in pain, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
It was as if an invisible hand ripped out the crystal particles in his body, and the sticky flesh, tendons and bones were torn apart, and the rain of blood splashed.
Boom, a muffled sound.
The excruciating pain made Ryan unable to sit still any longer. He slumped down from the driver's seat and fell on the cold deck, his long platinum hair soaked in blood.
He let out a soft muffled grunt, his fingers were convulsed, and messy red marks were rubbed on the ground.
This is just the beginning.
Soon, the second tear broke out again, and white bones could be seen in the cracked flesh; then the third and fourth times, internal organs ruptured, bones broke, and blood vessels exploded.
"Ignite the withered years"
Such a proud and powerful king can only breathe in the pool of his own blood at this moment.
Ryan choked blood from his throat, but with a smile at the end of his eyes, he said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid..."
The frequency of tearing became faster and faster, and the cockpit of Jin Xiaozhi Crown became more and more blood-stained, gradually turning into the familiar appearance of Jiang Jianming.
"Through the Remnants of an Old Civilization"
"Don't try to imitate me..."
Ryan murmured hoarsely, "I was able to do this because I was from the very beginning... Heh, you'll remember."
"... sooner or later you will," his eyes suddenly became dizzy, "remember everything..."
The inside of Jin Xiaozhi's crown was quiet, the voice reverberated and then dissipated.
Jiang Jianming watched.
He didn't even dare to blink, he just watched his little Highness tear himself to pieces, making him inhuman, until he fainted from anger.
Outside the mecha, the universe is still eternally silent.
In the darkness, Jiang Jianming approached gently.
He knelt on one knee in a pool of blood.
"Your Highness."
The voice was played very softly, as if afraid of breaking something.
"Before the Dawn of Mankind"
Jiang Jianming simply lay down, lying next to Leian in the dark blood.
He felt like he was sinking in the sea of stars, his mood was sadder than ever before, but he was also far away like never before.
"My original body, who the hell is worthy of you, huh?"
Across Shura's hellish scene, his eyes glistened with water, and he gently rubbed the tip of his nose against Ryan's forehead like a cat.
"I'm just...a normal..."
The strength is weak, the status is humble, without you, nothing can be done...
"It's just a disabled person."
"Is not it?"
Jiang Jianming asked with a soft nasal voice, "Huh?"
I know can't hear you, know...
He also asked: "Your Highness, why do you love me so much?"
Like Ryan asked him a similar question.
"ring……"
Suddenly, Ryan opened his eyes slightly, his consciousness was blurred, and his breath was weak, "The ring... wears..."
"Wear it at all times..."
Jiang Jianming sighed softly and said, "Got it."
"I love you, Jiang... I love you."
As he was dying, fine drops of water wet his eyelashes again.
The man actually cried again.
"This time, can you..."
"Promise me... let me love you..."
It seems that after the fusion of memories, certain characteristics of Ryan's body have become much softer, no matter whether he is crying or laughing, he is so vivid.
But that hair-raising tear broke out again.
"Didn't you already agree?"
Jiang Jianming's voice was ethereal, "Your proposal, and this ring."
"Next time... also..."
"I also agreed."
And that's it until everything quiets down.
The boy who was no longer in shape leaned quietly beside the driver's seat.
He should have died, but he didn't.
His body has undergone a mutation.Crystals began to bubble up chaotically, filling his ragged wounds.
Like Margaret, he's turning into a whole new monster.
If there is any difference, it is that Ryan is obviously still able to maintain his sanity, and the crystal particles in his body are still escaping!
But Jiang Jianming still could only watch.The emotions of shock and grief switched too quickly, and his mind was a little numb now.
He was thinking about what Ryan said just now—Lian said, "I have been..." from the beginning, what is it?
What is the life experience of Emperor Kaios...
Jiang Jianming was so confused that he couldn't think of it for a while.
Ryan frowned forbearance, those mutations rose and disappeared in him.
He seemed to be worried about damaging the mech, and set the last program on the control screen, then struggled to get up and pushed open the cockpit door, throwing himself out.
Outside the hatch is a white crystal nest.
Because of the weapons that broke in before, the ground of the crystal nest is full of cracks, and many places have lost their luster. The majestic crystal particles are wandering chaotically, trying to repair those scars.
The boy covered in blood landed on the white crystal.
Behind him, the built-in program of L-Golden Dawn Crown started, and the mecha flew out of the crystal nest.
After a period of time, it will be recovered by the first fortress of Yin Beidou, and then sleep in the heroic monument for a long time.
Leian turned his head and squinted to see the Golden Dawn Crown disappear into a small dot.
The tug-of-war of rising and falling crystals on his body is still going on, and he no longer looks like a human life form.
His task is also done.
He drove the weapons of the Black Shark Base into the crystal nest, became a guide for Yin Beidou, and also left the crystal particles of the entire matrix.
Even if it takes ten thousand steps back, Jiang Jianming did not choose this cruel path, but when the real crisis comes, he will at least hand over the crystal bone ring and brain brain set to the empire.
At that time, this power can still escort future generations.
Therefore, whether it is private or public.
Whether it is for the survival of the race, or for his lover.
He did it all to the extreme.
Throughout the ages, the two have often been in conflict.It is very lucky to be able to have the best of both worlds now.
But Ryan still moved forward, walking deep into the crystal nest.
It's like after a long time, Jiang Jianming will protect him in a coma and walk underground in the fortress, knowing that he is in a desperate situation, but still meeting the tide of alien creatures with a sharp blade.
A brave man must fight until the last moment before accepting the kiss of death on his haughty neck.
The space in all directions vibrated slightly.
Thick and terrifying crystal particles swarmed in, biting the emperor who had made them flinch.
They were once polluted by this man's consciousness, and now they can finally torture his body and corrupt his spirit to his heart's content.
"bring it on."
Ryan stretched out his arms contemptuously, "Look at you...that's all you can do..."
As he said, the crystal particles belonging to him in the body continued to escape, and it seemed that he would not give up until the last trace was squeezed out.
L-Crown of Dawn is far away, but just right.
The crystal particles he controls are too overbearing, and the space in the cockpit is very small.
Over time, after the consciousness wears off, too high a concentration of crystal particles may hurt Jiang Jianming.
"The rest..."
Lai An said to himself, "I'll see you early, I miss you so much."
He closed his eyes.In the microscopic world invisible to human eyes, a colorless and transparent crystal particle trembled to the extreme——
——……Suddenly.
It turned red gold.
Like a seed, or a handful of ignited sparks.
A single spark started a prairie fire.
The last stream of crystal particles suddenly pulled out from Lai An's body, and also took the last trace of life force out of the base.
Hundreds of millions of particles that shone with a pure gold luster broke away from the young prince's body and circled like a nebula.They escaped from the dead crystal nest and ascended to the universe.
Like a white bird stained with blood, it fluttered its wings.
My love, please give me the lonely courage to cross the darkness.
Let me fly across the sea of stars and return to your side.
...
Before this vast and shattered dream ended, Jiang Jianming saw where the flow of crystal particles was going.
He saw that this meager idea was trekking in the dark universe, crossing a distance of several light years.
"They" lost their way countless times, almost forgot themselves countless times, and were destroyed by other crystal particles in Yu Region countless times.
But "they" woke up countless times, continued to move forward countless times, and even counteracted the crystal particles that tried to invade countless times, transmitting self-awareness farther and faster.
Later, "they" arrived in the Empire.
Arrived in the first galaxy.
Arrived in the imperial capital.
At that time, it was night in the third district of the imperial capital Aslan Star City.On the highest mountain in Star City, heavy rain poured down.
Scholars once predicted that there would be a beautiful meteor shower today.
Many backpackers are ready for a dreamy night at the top of the mountain.It's a pity that the heaven is not beautiful, so we can only come here in good spirits and return in disappointment.
No one could have expected that at this moment, there would be a young cripple who wanted to climb the mountain in this torrential rain, holding a dead crystal in his hand as if obsessed.
As no one could have expected, the story of all this has already opened a chapter earlier.
Later later.
The rain stopped and the clouds cleared.
The washed night sky is clearer than ever, like a piece of dark blue glass.
The crippled human being has been benevolently infected with crystal chaos. He was drenched, shivering from the cold in the muddy water and grass, fainted countless times under the severe pain of the attack, and even when he woke up, his consciousness was blurred.
So... when he dimly saw the red-gold "meteor shower" across the sky, thousands of bright colors like birds returning to their nests, weeping and rushing towards him.
It was just misunderstood as a dream.
