Lai An walked back.He walked through the unknown flow of people, and walked back along the way he came, amidst the din, like a wandering ghost.

The emperor returned to the quiet White Emerald Palace, and once again saw golden roses all over his eyes.

This time he didn't vomit, but he collapsed after walking a few steps, and fell to his knees all of a sudden.

The pain flooded up like a slow poison, and he bit his injured Jiang's arm with absent-minded eyes.

Pain, nausea, discomfort.

It was so painful, he looked like he was going to die.

Lai An suffers this pain in embarrassment and knows that there will be no relief unless the person he has hurt is there to forgive him.

But what should I do next?He dared not go back at all.Does ginger heal wounds?The medical equipment in the palace is very complete, and Sylph is also there, so nothing will happen.But then, the two of them, what should they do in the future...

Lai An was thinking upside down like this, shivering from the cold in midsummer.Suddenly his wrist phone rang, it was a call from Lin Song.

The prompt sound of "Dididi" is like a bell ringing for death.Lai An felt like a death row prisoner about to be hanged.

He closed his eyes, endured the resistance from every cell in his body, and connected the communication.

He didn't hear Lin Song's cursing, he was silent for three or four seconds, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Kios, where are you?"

"Outside." Lai An casually said, he bit the bullet and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Song: "You come back immediately, something happened to Jiang."

Lai An: "I know, it's me..."

"Know? You know what a fart! He has an illness and is being rescued now. The situation is very dangerous."

Lai An froze in place.

"Listen, I don't care what you guys were arguing about just now, or where you are doing, now, get the hell out of here."

After saying this, Lin Song hung up without waiting for Lai An's answer.

Emperor Tuliu pinched his darkened wrist phone, his expression pale, his lips trembling slightly.

Lai An froze for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up as if she had come back to life.

The excruciating pain in his heart made the sky dim before him, and he walked forward trembling——

View tilted.

Plop, he fell again.

Lai An numbly propped himself up, and he looked at his lower body.

A strange scene happened, red golden crystals were constantly emerging from the emperor's legs and feet, extending in all directions like crazily growing vines.

...what's going on, what's wrong with his legs...

Lai An pressed his knee in a daze, no, it doesn't matter how he is, Lin Song said that Jiang was ill and he had to go back immediately.

But his leg was broken, and the crystals kept growing from the flesh, tendons and bones, and he couldn't stand up or walk.

stop, stop...

Lai An's complexion was gray and his breathing was short of breath.He wanted to control the chaotic crystal particles in his body, and wanted to stop this mutation, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't control it, and the more he lost control, the more he collapsed.

Not long after, the tiny crystal particles in the air began to vibrate, and true crystals of red gold condensed in the cracks of the bricks.

"His Majesty?"

In the distance, the guards at the gate of the palace were startled by the change and hurried over to inspect.

Someone pointed in shock: "Look, real crystals have condensed on the roses!"

Someone said: "It's His Majesty's true crystal color, where is Your Majesty?"

But after searching for a long time, they found nothing strange except for some tiny real crystals. They didn't dare to wander too deep in the palace, so they had to return to their seats.

In the shadow of the palace, the emperor curled up, his platinum curly hair falling down, covering his strangely shaped body.

He didn't dare to go out at all. If the emperor's appearance was seen by others, the consequences would be disastrous.

It turns out that this is the feeling of hiding, it turns out that this is the feeling of walking on thin ice.

Lai An closed his eyes and listened to the footsteps of the guards going away - he was thinking of his crippled human beings like a knife.

And in just a few minutes, his legs were completely twisted, and he could only wriggle and slide on the ground like a snake; his five fingers were almost glued together, and his whole body collapsed as if dismembered, turning into clustersA strange amalgam of crystals and flesh.

His body is disintegrating, his structure is falling apart.

But at this time, Lin Song's communication came again.

She called him an asshole with a crying voice.

"What are you doing, where are you, Kaios? He's dying, come back to my mother!"

"Shut... mouth!" His heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, and Lai An's vision was blackened. He was almost crazy, his eyes were red and he uttered a voice, "Don't say... him!"

In a blink of an eye, fine crystals climbed all the way up the emperor's tense face.

Lai An covered his face in horror, suddenly a large piece of real crystal exploded from his face, blood splashed everywhere, and four or five deformed eyeballs grew together and squirmed together!

What to do? What to do? What to do!?

He can't... can't hear about Jiang anymore... If this goes on, what will happen to him?

"Come back and have a look at him, what's wrong with him, after so many years, you..."

There was a noise from the opposite side, and the wrist phone was snatched away.Soon Sylph's voice replaced Lin Song's:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, we are not joking, the situation is really bad now!"

Her voice was wrong, and she was crying directly: "If you can't come back immediately, at least say a few words to the commander in the communication, I suspect that his will to survive is weak now..."

In the special first aid room of the palace, Sylph was holding the wrist phone at a loss, with teardrops on her eyelashes.

She was wearing a white sterilizing suit, and behind her were densely packed instruments.Several doctors and nurses shouted something hoarsely, and there was a shocking straight red line on the ECG monitoring screen!

The patient on the bed had his eyes closed, and his body was thin and pale, covered with vertical and horizontal scars—these were the marks left by surgical incisions and needle punctures.

As the electrode plate fell, Jiang Jianming's body bounced and fell, and fell heavily on the blood-stained hospital bed.His head was tilted to one side, his black hair was disheveled, and he showed no signs of coming back to life.

It hurts, it hurts so much.Lai An crouched in the shadows, covered in dust and blood.He opened his mouth in panic, and made intermittent hissing sounds from his throat, but he couldn't make a sound!

Talk, how to talk?

Lai An couldn't make a sound, he, or the organ it used to make a sound, had turned into a bulging crystal block, and the bloody smell filled the line from the throat to the mouth.

"Your Majesty, please—"

In the next second, an uncontrolled red gold crystal pierced the wrist phone!

beep... beep...

Disconnected.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Sylph broke down completely, she threw down her wrist phone and cried, "I can't help it, Lin Song, there's nothing else I can do..."

The electronic sound of the rescue equipment was still ringing in despair, Lin Song panted violently, staring at the silent wrist phone on the ground.

She said without thinking: "No."

"Kios' reaction is wrong, I feel like something went wrong."

Suddenly, Lin Song twisted his body violently, and rushed towards the emergency bed in three steps at a time: "Dawn!! You can hear me, something happened to the fucking Kaios, you get up!!"

Several nurses came to pull her in panic, Lin Song's eyes were tearing apart, and he tried to raise his voice: "Jiang Jianming!!"

Sylph held her breath, and there was a "buzz" in her mind: "What do you call him?"

"Don't die! Now that you are dead, Kaios will think he killed you, can you bear it—"

Boom!

Another shock fell.

The doctors and nurses who were carrying out the rescue had almost given up, and some even looked at Sylph sadly: "Forget it, little boss, the golden rescue time has passed, commander him... This is too much suffering..."

They are all special personnel carefully selected by the emperor to secretly treat the commander's illness. Seeing Jiang Jianming being tortured by the crystal chaos day by day all these years, why doesn't it hurt my heart.

However, in the next second, the voice of the ECG monitor changed.The red line, which had been silent all the time, had its ups and downs, beating with difficulty!

"Yes, there is a heartbeat!"

Accompanied by the doctor's cry of joy, Sylph fell limply to the ground, sweating profusely and almost collapsed.

She supported the machine with her arms, "Hurry up, add a shot of crystal particle tranquilizer, and operate immediately...!"

...

When Lai An came back, it was already dark.

His clothes were torn, covered in dust and blood.His expression was numb, as if his soul had been taken away.

He bumps into Sylph in a quiet corridor.The girl coiled her silver hair and wore a white coat. Standing by the window in the dim moonlight, she asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

She quickly ran to Lai An's side in small steps, and said softly, "This is... what's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, the latter took a few steps back, Lai An stood in the shadows and did not ask her to approach, lowered his head and did not speak.

Sylph had to stand still, looking helplessly at the emperor who obviously had a problem but didn't know what was wrong.

After a while, she pursed her lips and said tentatively, "Are you here to see the commander in chief? His condition is not very good. You should go in and be with him."

The emergency operation did not go well. Jiang Jianming was too weak, and his heart stopped beating halfway, and he almost failed to get off the operating table.

Compared to that, things like a broken arm seemed trivial.

Sylph led Lai An to do a simple disinfection work and walked into the intensive care unit.

It was night, and the smart medical equipment inside glowed blue and green.

Jiang Jianming was lying in the advanced treatment cabin with his eyes closed, breathless, and his thin body was filled with tubes and life support equipment. If it weren't for the weak heaving of his chest, he would look no different from a dead person.

Sylph walked to the treatment cabin and looked at the commander's pale face.

She lowered her eyelashes and whispered sadly, "Maybe... it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"We didn't expect the commander's condition to suddenly deteriorate, but chronic crystal disorder is just such a thing."

"In fact, Mr. Patient has worked very hard. Your Majesty, do you know that we almost gave up during the day, and he suddenly had a heartbeat. I think the commander must be waiting for you to come back."

"Oh, and Lin Song told me. It turns out that the commander-in-chief is the child of Your Excellency Helga. Alas, there are not many people in the Glorious Dominion who remember the name 'Jiang Jianming'..."

Sylph sniffled and choked up, "I, I just, I didn't expect..."

This person's life was too bitter. He lit the dawn for the new empire from the darkness, but he had to bid farewell before he could feel the warmth of the rising sun.

Sylph took a deep breath, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to the commander, maybe he can still hear a little bit."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.But when Sylph put down her hand, a spreading red gold appeared in the field of vision in front of her.

That is obviously Lai An's crystal bone.It silently protruded from behind her, passed her, and reached out to the people in the treatment cabin.

"His Majesty?"

Sylph looks back.

The next moment, the girl's pupils constricted, and an uncontrollable scream broke out!

The author has something to say:

The correct way to stimulate the patient's will to survive:

Tell his big cat to come back Mimi purring (×)

Shouting beside the hospital bed: Your cat is gone—(√)

Lai An loses control of her emotions*1

Sylph: People can't, at least they shouldn't.
