In the center of the shadow city, the medical center.
A young girl dressed in a light yellow dress was lying quietly in the medical cabin, just like a sleeping princess. Her exquisite face, which usually had an aggressive or cunning smile, was now devoid of all expression, leaving behind only a tranquil and gentle beauty. A few strands of playful hair rested on her face, adding some liveliness to her pale complexion. Perhaps it was because I wasn't used to such a rich lady, but when I looked at the girl in front of me, I actually felt as if she was a completely different person.
"This lass, she's quite beautiful when she's quiet."
There was no one around, so naturally, I was muttering to myself.
Lin Xue had already been lying here for an entire night, and she was still in a deep sleep. Her stubbornness back then had far exceeded my expectations, but I never expected that the situation would be so troublesome.
Her eyes had already been burned blind by her own actions.
Of course, it only took us about two minutes to heal her.
That must have scared you.
The biggest problem wasn't the physical injuries. Even though the scene of this lass's bloody tears made me break out in cold sweat, just as she said, it was only a "small injury" caused by her energy going berserk. What really needed to be healed was her berserk prophecy ability.
Recklessly plunging the fragile human spirit into the chaotic future, using a single perspective to find the only realistic scene from the endless history, this sounded so abstract that it would make one's head explode. But, this was the real scene after Lin Xue activated her ability. Under normal circumstances, the extraction of the future would be done automatically by her ability, but …
What if the ability used to filter the massive amount of information was now disabled?
This was Lin Xue's situation. Due to overusing her ability to pry into the truth of millions of years ago, and to pry into the future of a "Rubik's Cube" that she couldn't understand at all, the part of her prophecy ability that was responsible for filtering the future was now forced to shut down. However, her "eyes" couldn't stop losing control, and the massive amount of information was flooding the young girl's mental world. If it was an ordinary person experiencing all this, not to mention the fact that such a massive amount of mental activity would instantly cook their brain, even if they had the physical qualities to process all this information, the person involved would instantly be lost in the complicated scenes of the future, forever unable to separate reality from illusion, and forever trapped in a series of distorted illusions of the future.
Of course, Lin Xue wouldn't be so unlucky. Her spiritual power was more than enough to resist this level of false information, and in order to minimize the damage she would receive, we had already thought of a way to have Lin Xue enter a deep sleep, and at the same time, used the medical pod's energy to suppress her spiritual activity as much as possible. This wasn't an easy task, as the spiritual power of a Commander-level Apostle was incredibly powerful. Not to mention, Lin Xue was someone who could rely on her spiritual power to see into the future, and she was someone who relied on her mystical ability to survive. A mere medical pod, even if it was a flip-up medical pod, would be of limited use against Lin Xue's spiritual power. After just one night, the medical pod's effectiveness was practically zero.
This was also why I had to wake up early in the morning to guard the empty medical center. There were two options for suppressing Lin Xue's berserk spiritual power. The first was to gather a large amount of energy to create a suppressive force field, forcefully suppressing her power from the outside. The second option was to use my ability to interfere with Lin Xue's spiritual power to control it. Anyone with an IQ of over 9 would be able to think of the safer option.
"You really give me a headache."
I looked helplessly at the young lady who was sleeping soundly without any reaction. I shrugged my shoulders and stood up, intending to stretch my already stiff body.
"I should have made Bubble play less games. If only that lass could put in a little more effort and redesign these special facilities for humans," I couldn't help but mutter as I looked at the ice-cold machines around me.
As a place that only Commander-level Apostles could use (Even though the powerful Empire Leaders wouldn't be able to use this thing in most situations), this room naturally wasn't like a normal medical center with a large circle of beds. Instead, there was only a medical pod placed in the center, which could be considered the treatment of an intensive care ward. However, even though the space was ample and the care was attentive, the ice-cold metallic color of this place still made me feel a little uncomfortable, especially when I occasionally turned around to look at Lin Xue who was lying in the medical pod. Yep …
I strongly agreed that this new medical pod designed by Tawil was really like a f * cking coffin!
Especially when there was a sleeping beauty lying in it …
"Blockhead, why do you have such a strange expression on your face?"
Without any warning, Lin Xue suddenly sat up in the medical pod and said to me with a dark expression.
"Damn!" I was just thinking about the coffin, the morgue and the zombie princess in my head. Now that I saw Lin Xue sitting up in the "coffin" with a dark expression, I was horrified.
"Yep … Cough cough, you're awake?" If Lin Xue knew what I was thinking about just now, this lass would definitely look for Tawil with her life. She had been holding a grudge against the ill-fated relationship between her and these coffin devices for a long time. Yep, looking at Lin Xue's current expression, she didn't seem to have fully recovered.
"Ah, I still have a headache."
Great Prophet Lin Xue frowned and rubbed her temples. "Blockhead, that Rubik's Cube …"
"Tawil has already stopped using brute force to crack it." It seems that this lass still wasn't very clear-headed. Her memory of what she experienced yesterday was most likely blurry.
"Yeah, my brain is still a bit messed up. I can't remember what happened yesterday." Sitting in the medical pod, Lin Xue's face was bitter as she swayed back and forth. "Blockhead, I want to drink orange juice!"
I didn't immediately get up. Instead, I looked at Lin Xue with a strange expression. From the beginning, I felt that talking to Lin Xue was weird, but I couldn't tell what was wrong … Whatever, I'll just let my pitiful mortal level brain be an ostrich for a while.
I gave up analyzing the abnormal behavior of this troublesome missy and got up to pour her a drink.
Lin Xue liked orange juice, but it wasn't the high-class stuff that was squeezed from fresh oranges. This didn't match her identity as a missy at all. She only had a soft spot for the 6-kuai large tub of orange juice from the supermarket. I had already guessed that she would want this thing when she woke up, so I prepared it in advance. But before I stood up, Lin Xue suddenly muttered, "Of course I won't add ice! That would completely change the taste! What an idiot! "
My movements instantly froze in midair — —
That's right, this was the weird feeling that I felt just now!
Lin Xue was always half a beat faster!
When she was talking to me, she was always answering the questions I was going to ask. Of course, since she already answered, I didn't ask those questions. Also, since it was something I was going to ask anyway, I didn't notice anything strange with her answers at first. This was the source of the weird feeling, Lin Xue's spiritual world, could it be …
Noticing my unmoving gaze, Lin Xue couldn't help but feel a bit creeped out by my stare. But before I could tell her what I found, she already had a look of understanding on her face. Then, she slapped her head with her claw, "Oh no, blockhead, what I … What I see now overlaps with the reality one minute later!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at the distressed Lin Banxian classmate. Although I couldn't empathize with the symptoms of the overlapping of reality and future, I still expressed sympathy. This was probably a disease that even Jingle couldn't do anything about. Should I call it Superman Disease? Prophetic Phenomenon Syndrome?
Lin Xue grabbed her hair in exasperation and looked at me holding back my laughter. Then, she suddenly revealed a sad and worried expression, "Wu, blockhead, what should I do? Will I be unable to recover? Will I have to look at this world forever? "
"Don't think too much." Seeing Lin Xue suddenly reveal such a sad expression, I also knew that this was not the time to joke around. I immediately brought the orange juice to her side, "Bubble calculated, your spiritual power should be able to recover in a few days …"
"Haha! I'll let you laugh at me! Now watch my Pegasus Starlight Rupturing Fist! "
I smacked Lin Xue's head, "Maybe I'll be sitting in that position in a minute, but for now, you should get used to aiming in the shadow! Impulsive girl! "
Miss Lin, who had randomly swung her fist in a direction where there was no one around, lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Hearing my sarcasm, her face immediately flushed red. Then, she snatched the orange juice from my hand — — this time, she took aim — — and gulped it down.
"Hmph! Just now … Just now was just a demonstration! How could I make a mistake! Hey, what's with that expression on your face? "Lin Xue looked at the direction beside me and threw a tantrum at a certain" one minute blockhead "who would no longer appear in that position," Damn blockhead … Ah! I'm in despair, I'm in despair towards this world full of shadow! "
"Who told you to mess around again." I felt that I had watched enough comedy, so I stopped while I was ahead. I pressed my hand on Miss Lin's head and released an even stronger spiritual power suppression, "How is it, girl? Do you feel better now?"
"Ah, the shadow disappeared!" Lin Xue immediately shouted in surprise and then frowned, "But my spiritual power was also frozen."
I feel that the current Prophet Lin's temper is like a child's? Could it be a side effect?
I thought unscrupulously while my hand unconsciously rubbed Lin Xue's head. The young girl's originally soft long hair instantly turned into a bird's nest.
At this moment, Lin Xue finally realized that she was being rubbed on the head like a child by her rival. Anger immediately flashed across her face and then she slapped my hand away, "Hey! Don't get carried away in front of me … Wu, the shadow appeared again … "
The young miss who just slapped my hand away immediately got caught in the shadow crisis let out a cry of sorrow. Then, she grabbed my hand and pressed it on her head again, "Help me focus!"
Why was it that every time he interacted with Lin Xue, it would always end up in a strange direction?
With such a painful feeling of ridicule in my heart, I still obediently raised my ability again to suppress the spiritual power that Lin Xue was unable to turn off on her own. Fortunately, Lin Xue is currently in a weakened state after reviving. If it was a normal day, it would not be easy to block the prophet's eyes so easily — I haven't even won against her in Landlord.
Of course, I don't need to pat her head this time. I just wanted to tease this brat a bit.
"Xue brat, can you tell me now? That Rubik's Cube, what exactly did you see?"
"That's all I can say," Lin Xue said as she combed her long hair that I messed up with an ivory comb from god knows where. "In any case, it is an extremely dangerous thing. It is the data that recorded the process of the Empire's slumber. At the same time, it is also one of the reasons why the Empire went into slumber. I peeked into its past, but the only conclusion I got was that it was created by the Schilling people. I also predicted its future and discovered the disastrous consequences of forcefully deciphering it … En, it might not be the second slumber of the remaining Apostles, but the danger is not any less than that."
Lin Xue didn't reveal any more information, but I could tell that she was holding back.
"I can't say much," The young girl silently combed her long hair and suddenly explained in a low voice, "The future is constantly changing. Revealing too much about it will make everything blurry. In the end, it will turn into a fog that even I can't see through."
"It's okay. This way, the pressure on you will be even greater."
This sigh wasn't just out of politeness, it came from the bottom of her heart.
Strictly speaking, Lin Xue was probably the one who understood everything the most out of all of us. Although she couldn't peek into the future, she could at least see the countless dangers in the future. Speaking of which, why did I think that my future was so dangerous, bastard!
However, Lin Xue couldn't find someone to share this burden with.
The future couldn't be revealed too much, even if one more person knew about it. Facing this kind of predicament, Lin Xue could only bear it by herself. She was constantly walking on a dangerous warning line, doing everything possible to give us metaphors, using as little information as possible to reveal as many secrets as possible to us, but she couldn't say a single word more. Although in most situations, my average level of understanding made the missy go crazy, I could still feel the pressure she was under.
"Pressure or not, it's a piece of cake," Lin Xue said carelessly while glancing at me from the corner of her eye. "However, your blockhead's sluggishness is usually the source of my greatest pressure."
I innocently shrugged my shoulders, I was almost immune to this missy's sudden poisonous tongue.
"That's right, girl, I remember … when we were in front of the Rubik's cube, you called me Ah Jun, right?"
I suddenly remembered and couldn't help but ask while scratching my head to confirm if I was hallucinating.
"Of course it's your hallucination," Lin Xue snorted without a care, "This missy will never fall into the evil clutches of a #&…% ¥# man like you."
This was the second time Lin Xue said something that was censored the second time it came out of her mouth.
However, although her tone was firm, was the blush I saw when the missy turned her head an illusion?
"Idiot, slow, unenlightened, blockhead, stubborn …"
While I was in a daze, Lin Xue suddenly muttered a string of vicious words that came out of the prophet's mouth without any hesitation, and this time it wasn't censored.
"That, girl, I didn't offend you right?"
"Move aside, I'm memorizing the periodic table of elements!"
Which unlucky world's basic elements are formed by a bunch of idiots!
Of course, Lin Xue couldn't hear the resentment in my mind, she suddenly sighed and showed an expression of giving up, "Forget it, who asked me to be an idiot … Blockhead, come here!"
"What?" I didn't understand and moved closer. Although the missy's overbearing attitude was just a habit of saying something she didn't mean, but if I ignored her, she would definitely have a way to cause me trouble.
"Just stay there and don't move!" Lin Xue had a strange smile on her face, but her eyes flashed with a craftiness that I couldn't see through. Under my baffled gaze, the missy suddenly took a deep breath, and then, her spirited eyes rapidly enlarged in front of my eyes.
"Chirp!"
I suddenly felt a cold sensation on my lips, but at the same time, my mind was blank.
Overload, overload! My brain is overloaded!
What just happened? Nothing happened, right?
Okay, okay, let's face the reality, let's face the reality, just now, was …
Kissing? Or rather, I was forcefully kissed by Great Prophet Lin?
Ultraman and the little monster shook hands and made up? Robot Prototype and the apostles built a future together? Zhong Kui and Killian worked together to build a harmonious Eden, and Little Tiantian and Brother Pillar finally had a drink together?
Can someone explain the current situation to me!
As if I was electrocuted, my entire body bounced back, and with a loud bang, I flipped over from the chair. When I got up, I saw Lin Xue still pointing at her lips with her index finger, muttering, "It seems that's all, to think that I was so full of fantasies before …"
But your cheeks are so red that they're glowing.
I actually didn't dodge just now. In fact, due to my rich combat experience, I should have reacted subconsciously when Lin Xue suddenly moved her face closer, but the intense conflict between 'possible' and 'impossible' made my mind go blank, and when I finally reacted, there was only a remnant cold sensation on my lips.
"Ah, Blockhead, your expression is so interesting!"
"Hey, this isn't the time to talk about this, right?" I couldn't help but press down hard on Lin Xue's head, but I didn't know if I was angry or happy, "What was that about just now?"
Although she tried her best to show an indifferent attitude, the moment I said that, the missy couldn't help but blush even more. To be honest, ever since I knew her, I had never seen the missy act like a girl like this — — Okay, this is a personal attack.
"Ugh, about that," Lin Xue suddenly frowned, tapping her temple with her index finger, "Maybe my mind is still not clear. What happened just now?"
Playing dumb?
It was only natural for me to have such doubts, but I had to admit that the confused expression on Lin Xue's face was quite real. More importantly, would the missy who used to be my mortal enemy really rush up and offer a kiss on her own accord?
Thinking about this, even I couldn't help but agree with Lin Xue's explanation … No way!
Looking at my undisguised doubt and attitude of wanting to get to the bottom of the matter, Missy's determination and courage just now disappeared, and the blush on her face didn't disappear at all. She started to divert my attention with a laugh, "Blockhead, I have something to tell you …"
