Chapter 81 Just a Partner (End)
Ren Yi narrowly escaped that sudden attack, but this time he was really exhausted. If Lando pulled out his tail and made a second attack, he would definitely not be able to escape.
Fortunately, both sides are at the end of their battles.
After that blow, Lando also completely lost control of himself. The alienation characteristics on his body switched more than twice as fast as before, and disappeared completely after a certain moment, and he also remained in place.
It seems that Ren Yi is right, the effect of that potion is indeed "sedation".
It's just that Ren Yi didn't even have the strength to confirm whether the other party was really comatose at the moment. He lay on the spot and managed to recover his strength for a while, then endured the severe pain in his body and tried to rub in the direction of the light energy gun.
As for whether it will involve the wound on the body and make it worse?joke!!does it matter
If he doesn't rush to make up the knife right now, and Lando wakes up after a while, he won't have a second tranquilizer!
But just as Ren Yi moved, he heard a crisp sound next to him.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, and he turned his head stiffly to look, and saw a crack visible to the naked eye at the position where Lando's tail pierced just now.
Ren dare not move Yi: "..."
Now the question is: Lando wakes up and kills him first?Or did the escape pod disintegrate, and he fell into the sea of stars and died of suffocation?Or do the injuries on the body worsen first, internal organs rupture, or die from excessive blood loss?
Can you be more friendly to the tool people?!!
...
Fortunately, Ren Yi was not that miserable. Before these three death options were triggered, he waited for the alliance's rescue.
As a result, not long after he was discharged from the hospital, he was packed and sent back, even the bed was unchanged.
This time when Ren Yi woke up, he immediately found a necklace beside his pillow, to be precise, it was made into a necklace chip.
Zhou Kai was watching by the side, and saw that Ren Yi noticed the things next to him as soon as he woke up, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion again.
Although he felt that there was no need to explain, he still said, "The intelligent control chip on the 'Xinghe' is already a model three years ago, and the processor of the mecha has been replaced several times over the years.Its latest model, this old one, I guess you want to keep it, so I brought it here first."
The system inside the chip is not happy: [You are the old one!Your whole family is old!!]
Ren Yi: ...
The reason why he noticed the chip immediately after waking up was, of course, because the chip was muttering in his mind before he fully regained consciousness.
He didn't expect that he hadn't seen "Xinghe" before, but he connected the system back first.
Ren Yi comforted the system with a few words, and in the latter's cry of "Hey, I finally saw the host!", he thanked Zhou Kai very seriously: Thanks to the other party for sending the system over.
This solemn attitude made Zhou Kai feel uncomfortable, he turned his face away, "It's nothing, you can get it sooner or later, I just brought it along."
Feeling that this topic might be a bit heavy if it continued to diverge, Zhou Kai stepped aside, revealing Duan Rui who was sleeping on the rest chair next to him.
The latter's face at the moment is more like fainting from exhaustion than falling asleep.Ren Yi doesn't know what he looks like now, but his complexion will not be worse than Duan Rui's.
Just as he was thinking this way, he heard Zhou Kai say, "I just knocked someone out, but I should wake up soon."
Ren Yi:???
Did you really faint?!
Zhou Kai struggled and hesitated for a moment, then, "...can you see if you can untangle him?"
He thought of Duan Rui's expression guarding the hospital bed when he came, and always felt that something would happen if he let it go like this.But the free-living "psychological counselor" took a look at it and let it go. He didn't care about the future of the military department at all.
Reminded by Zhou Kai, Ren Yi also remembered the look on Duan Rui's face before he lost consciousness.
Just as he was about to say something, the system that re-established a connection with the host non-stop was already urging: [Host, let's go!!Now that I am in the hospital, I will adjust the physiological indicators of the host, so I can just don't need this vest.]
Ren Yi: […]
The system felt that this world was really too dangerous. Not only was it forced to separate from the host, but the host almost had an accident.
In a word, can't stay here anymore!
Ren Yi's thoughts were interrupted by the system, just as he was about to pick it up, he noticed that Duan Rui's eyelids trembled, and he opened his eyes suddenly in the next moment, looking around quickly, as if he was looking for something in a hurry, It was not until Ren Yi's figure was reflected in those bloodshot eyes that he barely settled down.Then he stared at Ren Yi without blinking, as if the person in front of him would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this posture, Zhou Kai shrugged at Ren Yi, meaning: Look, that's it.
The system in his mind was still anxiously urging, Ren Yi remained silent.
——Believe it or not, as soon as he used this reason to escape from the world, the protagonist went crazy when he attacked the back foot?
In the end, Ren Yi agreed to Zhou Kai's "open solution".
He pondered for a while, and said to Duan Rui: "When I feel better in a few days, do you want to go somewhere with me?"
Duan Rui's reaction was still a little slow, as if he understood the meaning of Ren Yi's words after a while, and then nodded slowly.
Zhou Kai's worries seemed unnecessary. Although Duan Rui behaved a little abnormally when Ren Yi just woke up, as Ren Yi's condition gradually improved, he gradually became normal—at least it seemed so—Zhou KaiKai felt that he was too nervous and thought too much at that time.
After all, this is the protagonist's attack, and Ren Yi actually believes that Duan Rui can untie his knot by taking his time.
But he couldn't help thinking of the accident when Duan Rui grabbed his hand and silently said "don't go" on the starship. Although he didn't see the scene where Duan Rui warned the passengers in the cabin with a cold face, the former alsoIt was enough for Ren Yi to notice that something was wrong.
If the protagonist's attack accidentally goes astray, the trajectory of the whole world will be deviated. Ren Yi thinks it's better to be more cautious.
Thinking about the failure cases in the bureau where the Son of Destiny turned black into a world-destroying villain despite clearly completing the world line, Ren Yi felt that he should give full play to the last remaining heat of the tool man and give the protagonist some positive guidance.
A few days later, when Ren Yi's condition improved slightly, he went out with Duan Rui as promised, and bought a large bouquet of flowers when he went.
The destination was the cemetery that he and Tan Feng chose to go to that day.
Duan Rui didn't know that he was going to come here at first, and he only vaguely realized something when he was shopping for flowers.
But when he really arrived, he still held the flower and stopped at the door unnaturally. It wasn't until Ren Yi turned around in doubt that he followed up with a stiff face.
This time, Ren Yi did not go straight to the center like before, but stopped at the first tombstone he met outside. Duan Rui took a step behind him, and looked at the black and white photo on the stone tablet.Unlike what the old lady of Ren Yi's neighbor said, although the young man in the photo is indeed older, he doesn't look much older than them. At this time, he is smiling brightly with his face up and facing the front.
Because it is too bright, it seems a bit silly.
Duan Rui commented silently in his heart, but couldn't say anything.
He heard Ren Yi's voice in front of him, "Yu Changle, the 34th graduate of the First Military Academy, is our senior."
Duan Rui didn't know what to answer at this time, so he could only give a vague "um".
He felt that he should comfort the other party at this moment, but when he was still organizing his words, he heard Ren Yi had already picked up, "Do you still remember the patch on the second floor of the third teaching building? It was when his mecha lost control and crashed into it.It is a permanent memorial to my alma mater."
Duan Rui seems to have vaguely remembered this rumor, the life rules in the military academy are so lacklustre, a little accident is enough to pass on for several generations, and the person concerned will continue to die in front of his juniors for who knows how many years to come.It's just that no one thought that the rumors were still there, but the master of the incident had already died in the sea of stars.
Ren Yi said a few more things in a soft voice, his tone was not heavy, and he even smiled uncontrollably when he talked about some embarrassing things, as if that fresh life was right in front of him, but the more so, the heavier the weightPressing on people's heart, people can hardly breathe.Duan Rui wanted to step forward to interrupt several times, but in the end he stood there as if his feet had taken root, listening to everything silently.
Duan Rui has never seen the person in the photo, but Ren Yi's few words of description are enough for him to spell out a bright and splendid image, as if he is still alive in this world.
...
Duan Rui originally thought that Ren Yi would stay here for a while, but the other party quickly stood up.
Realizing something, he passed the bouquet of flowers that was too big in his arms forward, but Ren Yi only took one from it and gently placed it under the stone tablet.
Confused, Ren Yi went on to the next tombstone.
"Harlo Adela is the chief of the 29th class of the Capital Star Military Academy. He led the team to cut off the three consecutive championships in the First Military Academy League team competition.The name..."
Duan Rui froze for a moment, then looked at the young man with a serious face and neatly arranged hair in the photo.
...
"Ji Qianhao, the 32nd issue of the Sorin Galaxy Central Military Academy..."
"Jiang Kun, the Ninth Military Academy..."
"..."
"..."
Duan Rui was still a little dazed at first, but finally he gradually understood something, and followed Ren Yi silently, listening to him introduce these names one by one.
They suddenly changed from cold tombstones to living people, with companions, comrades-in-arms, clear likes and dislikes, and people who secretly admired and wanted to express their hearts.It was only at the moment when he got to know each other that he clearly realized that there was only a cold tombstone on the other side.
In the end, Ren Yicong took the empty bouquet with only one left, rearranged the package, and gently placed it in front of the middle tombstone.
He stood up, turned his head against the light, and said softly, "Do you still remember why you came to the military academy in the first place?"
The young man lived in the courtyard twice in a very short period of time. His body was so thin that it was weak to the naked eye. His thin body could not block the sunlight behind him, making him glaring because of the light behind him.
Duan Rui had to squint his eyes to catch the shadow blurred by the light, and the hazy vision made him trance again——
why?
Because want to protect more people.
Duan Rui didn't know if he said this sentence, but the other person obviously understood what he meant.He wasn't sure if he heard a chuckle, but he heard the second half of the sentence clearly, "I don't have a chance to say that oath... What about you? Will you help me say it? Partner."
Duan Rui was silent in a daze.
After a long time, a hoarse sound came out from the throat that seemed to be blocked by something: "...OK."
This conversation was sent to the other side by the wind, and Zhou Kai, who followed sneakily along the way, was also stunned.
Beside him is a young man who is full of reluctance and "draw the line" written all over his face. It is the psychological counselor who was forcibly pulled over by Zhou Kai.The latter's expression was also momentarily surprised, but he obviously recovered faster than Zhou Kai.
He looked at Zhou Kai, who looked stupid because he was in a daze, and laughed unceremoniously, and raised his chin to signal, "See? I've said it all, don't worry."
Zhou Kai ignored him, but looked down and met the black and white photo in front of him.
He doesn't know each other, but it seems that he doesn't need to know each other. They are companions and comrades who can be entrusted with their backs.
With his clenched hand pressed against his heart on the other side, he slowly repeated the oath he made when he joined the Alliance Army, "I am willing to build a barrier for mankind in the sea of stars."
The reason they fight for it has never changed.
Ren Yi finally chose the Type II escape method, that is, leaving the place where the main plot line is located, and gradually fading out of the world line like a real "tool man".Although they are all separated from the world, this method is much gentler than the death escape of giving up the vest, and at the same time consumes more energy. After all, there is always a price to be paid if the world consciousness helps to fill in the loopholes.
The reason Ren Yi was looking for was "Interstellar Travel". When he was packing his luggage and preparing to leave, he could hear the system crying and rolling with the little remaining energy balance.
In the past, the system certainly didn't care about this little energy consumption, but it's different now!After that time and space turbulence, the family property is empty!Of course it has to calculate carefully for the host!!
Ren Yi can only coax it, [When you find the next piece, you can return to the game after it is fused, and then apply for work injury compensation and it will be back.]
System: [I'm just worried about problems in the next world!]
Ren Yi: […]
Suddenly a little bad feeling.
The system also reacted, fearing that it would be a crow's mouth, and quickly made up for it: [Bah, bah, bah!Nothing will happen!!]
Ren Yi: Do you feel that these words are like inserting some kind of flag?
Ren Yi was also a little worried after being hit by the system like this.
Because of this, when Duan Rui, who was seeing him off, opened his mouth, he almost didn't react.
Duan Rui: "That day..." Which one was it?
Ren Yi only heard a vague beginning, and Duan Rui's voice lowered later, so he couldn't hear it clearly. He couldn't help but "huh?", then turned his head and asked, "What did you say?"
Duan Rui looked down and landed on the necklace that fell out of the collar following Ren Yi's movements.
Under the simple metal chain is an old version of the mecha chip. It is not ugly, but it is definitely not beautiful. It is more commemorative than decoration.
The moment the necklace fell out and turned, he saw the name engraved in the center.
——"Star River".
A name known throughout the league.
The question Duan Rui originally wanted to ask was caught off guard and got the final answer.
That day, Ren Yi did have a special person.
He introduced everyone in it, but in the end, he just silently put the only remaining flower in front of that person's tombstone. It was not an object that needed to be introduced by others.
Duan Rui remembered Zhou Kai's smile that day.
If it was Marshal Hall, what he said that day really seemed like an ignorant joke.
Duan Rui stared at it for too long, so long that even Ren Yi noticed where his gaze fell, he showed a dazed expression, and simply took off the necklace around his neck.
Duan Rui only felt that his hand was pulled up, and the palm suddenly gained weight. He looked at the necklace that suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Ren Yi.
The broadcast of the starship entering the port sounded at the right time, and before Duan Rui could ask anything, the person in front of him had already smiled and waved at him, took a few steps back, and merged into the crowd.
Duan Rui couldn't help but chased a few steps forward, but the huge flow of people in Xinggang soon separated them completely, he could only stop and watch the figure go away until it disappeared completely.
After a while, Duan Rui looked down at the necklace in his hand, and the expression on his face became tangled.
...What exactly does this mean?
