How does it feel to shoot yourself?

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

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

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

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

He struggled several times, trying to maintain that bit of sobriety, until he gathered 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 crystal alienated by his majesty.But this time he was not completely engulfed, the crystals surrounding him stopped pulsating, and the surroundings were dead silent.

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

Vocalization becomes extremely difficult.Jiang Jianming couldn't stop panting, his five fingers twitched and clasped the crystals under his body, "Lai An..."

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

His mental power is transmitted along the invisible crystal particles, trying to perceive the familiar breath from these crystals that have lost their temperature and the flesh and blood that are no longer wriggling.

This is Lai An's body... a part of Lai An.

When it hugged itself, it was warm and soft.

But now, Jiang Jianming's spirit can only touch the dying fragments of consciousness.Cold, haggard, lifeless, unresponsive.

Lai An...

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

This body has already been riddled with holes, but now it is only stitched together by Lai An.Whenever you struggle hard, it will inevitably be fragmented again.

Under such circumstances, he still needs to mobilize his mental power to repair another consciousness that has been torn apart.

The danger involved is no less than using both hands to forcibly stop an out-of-control machine. Either it will stop successfully, or you will be twisted into a pool of blood.

Jiang Jianming forced himself to remain calm, imitating the feeling when manipulating the mecha, and forced his mental strength down.

Lai An seems to subconsciously recognize the spiritual power of his lover. Those fragments of consciousness that are trapped in madness are restless at first, and then gradually become obedient, letting him do whatever he wants.

only……

Jiang Jianming smiled wryly, the vision in front of him had already started to blur, how long can he last with this broken shell?

"Lai An, wake up...wake up." He gently stroked the crystals under his fingertips, trembling, "I can't last long...you have to wake up and see me by your own will..."

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

He raised his head suddenly, and saw with his own eyes a white crystal edge suddenly piercing in from the outside, bloody piercing through the bone and flesh 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 white storm, countless crystal particles gathered towards the place where the former human emperor was.

Sensing his weakening, the mother core saw this moment as an excellent opportunity.Crystal Particles crazily released attacks, trying to tear Lai An's body transformed into crystals into pieces!

In the blink of an eye, another crystal ridge broke through the crystal space.

Accompanied by an ear-piercing crisp sound, the tip almost hovered in front of Jiang Jianming's raised pupils!

No, there is no time.

If this continues, if he slowly awakens Lai An's consciousness, the latter will be eaten away by crystal particles to death!

"..."

Jiang Jianming gasped for breath. 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 apart the body, only a crackling sound in the ear.

Just a second before that crystal prism was about to pierce the remnant human being, a blaze of color sprang up out of thin air, interrupting the crystal prism in half.

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

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

The inside of the originally colorless "monster" suddenly burned red gold.The color was dyed inch by inch like the flames of a prairie fire, and the terrifying aura was revived.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of "crack" and "crack", the white crystal clusters piercing deep broke one by one.

"I am here."

Jiang Jianming blinked his eyelashes, panting palely, "I really have no choice but to take some extreme measures... um."

Red-gold crystals protruded from behind him, covering his mouth viciously.

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

Jiang Jianming frowned and smiled, but the smile soon faded away.He tilted his head weakly and closed his eyes, allowing Leian to slowly lay himself down in the melted crystal.

...His condition is extremely bad, and he will pass away if he doesn't take a breath.

Lai An was so angry that he went crazy, and knew in his heart that Jiang Jianming tried his best to drag him back from the brink of consciousness disappearing.No matter how ferocious the attitude was, the crystal bone did not dare to stop for a moment, sending the energy needed to maintain life into the body in his arms.

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

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

The two of them were silent in the depths of the crystal nest isolated from the world.One heals the other's body, one soothes the other's spirit.The two become one, and they are in perfect harmony, and nothing in the world can disturb them.

Time flows slowly.

Until a certain moment, Jiang Jianming vaguely felt the ground shaking, and the entire crystal nest began to shake.

He sharply opened his eyes, and at the same time, Lai An's crystals receded from his body in good time.

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

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

It no longer came from the depths of consciousness, but indeed, from the mouth of human beings, the voice of Lean Keos!

Jiang Jianming's heart trembled, and he subconsciously grasped the familiar palm tightly: "Lai An!?"

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

"Commander... stay safe."

There was a relieved smile in that voice, "How about it, do you miss me? Do you like that crystal bone ring?"

Claiming to be as indifferent as Jiang Jianming, he almost didn't cry when he was called out.

He didn't even listen to what Lai An said, he choked his throat and called "Your Majesty", and turned around——

"..."

"..."

Jiang Jianming's eyebrows twitched stiffly.

There is no figure of His Majesty the Great behind him, it is still a large piece of material combined with flesh and crystals.

It's just that a pair of arms grew out of the crystal, they were still around him just now, and now they spread their fingers innocently.

There is also a human head growing out of the crystal, which is indeed the extremely beautiful face of Emperor Kaios, but unfortunately, the neck has turned into a crystal halfway through, and there is no upper body.

As for the torsos that other human beings should have, they are even missing.

Green eyes and black eyes meet each other.

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

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

Lai An: "Don't look back."

"You can only..."

With a delicate expression, Jiang Jianming asked euphemistically, "Can only the head and hands be transformed back into a human form?"

Lai An looked grim: "No clothes."

Jiang Jianming was silent again.

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

Hmm... well, how should say it?

In fact, if the commander-in-chief chooses, he would prefer comedies to thrillers.But His Majesty wants face, and he can't force it.

"Okay then, just leave it at that, I'll try to get used to it."

Jiang Jianming decided to skip this topic. He calmed down and tried to stand up, "I don't know how long it has been. When I shot, there were still 12 hours left before the Pan Gu ax was fully charged..."

He tried to stand up straight as he spoke.Unexpectedly, he just propped up his upper body, and felt his chest sinking, accompanied by the crackling sound, almost lost his balance and fell forward.

"ginger!"

Lai An's expression changed, and he quickly supported him, "Slow down, your body is still not very mobile."

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

Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes and looked down, only to belatedly realize that he was wearing the uniform of the Generalissimo at the beginning of the establishment of the new empire.

Moreover, his chest was full of decorations that he knew or didn't know, all of which were obviously posthumous honors bestowed upon him by His Majesty after he left.

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

Jiang Jianming: "."

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

The poor commander's body is already sick and weak, and he has been lying dead for many years, and it is not easy to move.This military uniform covered with medals was enough to make him breathless.

Jiang Jianming had no choice but to take off his magnanimous and graceful cloak, so he was more relaxed, "Can your majesty estimate how long it has been since my base body died?"

Lai An: "No, I was almost unconscious before, and you were also in a coma for a while. We all have no concept of time."

As he spoke, the red-gold crystal slowly lifted something over, "Ask this."

Jiang Jianming's eyes moved.

In this strange world of crystals, the thing in front of him seemed too out of place.It was a whole set of precision equipment, stacked about one meter high, and looked like a mysterious box.

Jiang Jianming half-kneeled in front of the machine and looked at it carefully.Even though it is wrapped in Lai An's translucent crystal, the logo of Black Shark Base can be vaguely seen engraved on the instrument.

He understood immediately.

It was this set of things sent in by the Black Shark base decades ago that maintained the consciousness projections of him and Lai An.

According to Sylph, with a little effort, two-way communication can also be achieved.Although it is often impossible to even talk about basic communication, it is comparable to the communication between a chicken and a duck...

Jiang Jianming: "Let me try."

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

Jiang Jianming's eyes were sharp, and he saw the exposed pale golden spiritual thread at once. He stretched out his hand to pull it out, pressed the end on the back of his head, and closed his eyes to let his consciousness seep in.

There was no movement for a long time.

Lai An didn't bother him, and patiently poked his head out of the crystal, staring intently at the back of the commander.

There was no way, he hadn't seen this person come to life for too long.No matter how look at it now, can't get enough of it, and the more look at it, the more greedy become, just wanting to... swallow people in forever.

This means that Jiang Jianming's psychological quality is excellent, and he is not affected at all by a human head embedded in crystals looking at him from behind with such weird eyes.

About five minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, saying in a deep voice, "There are still fifteen minutes to fire!"

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

"That's my nonsense. The estimated conditions 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?"

Lai An's crystal supported him, "Of course."

They looked at each other and said nothing more.

Because both of them are very clear in their hearts.

Before the shocking deception brought about by that shot, the commander said that the last link of the White Bird plan was of course a fake.

The winning rate of nonsense is also false.

But there was truth in that statement, too.

For example, if the Pan Gu Ax cannot destroy the mother core with one blow, someone must complete this task by himself, and lock the winning rate at all costs.

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

The author has something to say:
