Chapter 3 The Snake with its fangs crawling forward
"According to reports, the death toll in this terrorist attack totaled about 300 people, and the total losses amounted to millions of new federal dollars. It was an extremely bad terrorist attack."
"Condemn! Strongly condemn!"
Li Xun turned off the TV in the ward to make the environment quieter...
Lean on the bed, close your eyes and let your body and mind slowly calm down.
"Galahad, how is your health?"
"No problem, my king, I can obey your orders and go to war at any time."
That powerful voice filled with a sense of justice sounded in Li Xuan's mind, but it was just a little weaker than before.
Li Xuan heard this weak voice and was silent for a while...
"Galahad, do you hate me?"
"Wang...why do you say such things?"
"In order to survive, I detonated you as a bomb."
"This is just necessary. As the king's knight, I have already made the intention to sacrifice my life for the king, so the king does not need to blame himself."
Blaming himself... Li Xuan didn't have such thoughts, he was just afraid that the guardian spirit's combat effectiveness would be reduced because of this incident.
The guardian spirit appeared when Li Xuan fell into the dream demon when he was six years old.
He claims to be a knight from heaven who protects the Holy Grail, and was once one of the Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur.
He was loyal to Li Shun and solved all the troubles caused by the dream demon for Li Shun.
As for how he came and why he appeared, Li Xuan didn't understand. Whenever the dream demon appeared in his sleep, he would always burn down his house.
Li Shun didn't know why...but after reading the biography about King Arthur, he concluded that King Arthur seemed to have the blood of the red dragon...
The legendary dragon bloodline and King Arthur should be just legends.
"My king..."
Suddenly, Galahad's cautious voice sounded in Li Xun's mind.
"What?" Li Xuan asked calmly.
"Maybe your soul cannot understand human emotions, but your body can...so it is recommended that you follow the guidance of your body."
According to his own body? Li Xuan prefers to listen to his own reason.
"Why?"
"...King, you cannot do something you regret again. Please understand."
Galahad knew deeply that what once led to the destruction of the Kingdom of Great Britain was neither the actions of Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table, nor the rebellion of Mordret, the daughter of King Arthur...
It was King Arthur himself who led to the demise of the Holy Kingdom of Great Britain!
As a king, there is no need for emotions!
King Arthur does not understand human emotions...
This was something that the courtiers complained about at that time.
"I will do what I think is right." Li Xuan eliminated the connection with Galahad, closed his eyes and let his body relax.
Today...is the time to attend the funeral of Rinishi-san, but why does my chest feel so uncomfortable when I think of the time I spent with Rinishi-san?
Is it an illness? Li Xuan patted his heart and found that there was nothing abnormal.
"Um, Mr. Li." Hiashi Ichiro, wearing a serious black suit, pushed a wheelchair into the ward: "Don't force it."
He came specially to pick up Li Xun to attend his daughter's funeral.
"I...can't accept it if I can't even see the person who saved me for the last time." Li Xuan reluctantly got off the bed and sat on the wheelchair with some difficulty to answer him.
Today is not only the time for the girl's funeral, but also the time for her cremation...
If I don't go today, I won't even see her for the last time.
"..."
Without saying anything, Ichiro Nisshi pushed Li Shun's wheelchair out of the hospital and walked towards the cemetery in the suburbs.
Xiling City can be considered a small city among the provinces of this new federation, a slightly rural city.
There is no national hustle and bustle of big cities, but it adds a sense of calm and soothing.
This is a good place for patients to recuperate. Li Xun’s home is not in this city, but Li Xun’s school is here...
He had parents and a younger sister at home. It was only two years ago that Li Xuan broke up with them and ran away from home as an exchange student. He left the imperial capital of the New Federation of China and came to live in this foreign province.
Therefore, Li Xun has always lived alone. Even if he is injured, there is no one to take care of him.
During the journey, Hidden Ichiro silently stared at this solitary boy. His black hair had grown slightly longer because it had not been trimmed for a long time. His thin body was a bit weak, and his very delicate face had no trace of anything on it.
He showed no expression at all times, as if he had nothing to do with this world.
Indifferent to everything.
But Hidden Ichiro understood that this boy was just not good at expressing himself. That must be the case.
The whole journey was silent.
We finally arrived at the cemetery. Because the starting point of this terrorist attack was this city, the relatives of the deceased were basically here in this city.
Today is probably the time when the funerals of those who died in the train incident will be held together. Their relatives are all wearing serious black suits, making the atmosphere in the entire cemetery slightly depressing.
Rinishi Ichiro bypassed the group of people and pushed Li Shuan to the depths of the cemetery.
Where is a woman and a girl who looks similar to Luozi crying bitterly...
"My wife and another daughter...are also Luozi's sisters."
Rinishi Ichiro explained with some embarrassment. Li Xuan looked at Luozi's sister and mother, and then turned his attention to a glass-covered coffin not far away.
A young girl lies peacefully in the coffin...
Without Ichiro Hinishi to help Li Shun push the wheelchair, Li Shun turned the wheels of the wheelchair with his hands and walked towards where...
"What is he going to do?" After the crying mother saw a stranger approaching her daughter, she seemed to be planning to do something, but was stopped by Hinishi Ichiro.
"Let him go..." Risashi Ichiro shook his head and looked at Li Xuan silently...
Li Xuan could only look at the girl lying inside through the glass.
Very quiet, much quieter than before...I became more beautiful without wearing glasses.
Li Xun put his hand against the glass, feeling the cold temperature, which seemed to penetrate into Li Xun's heart.
Painful? Uncomfortable? Sad?
This should be the emotion everyone feels when they see their friends die.
The only problem is that Li Xuan can't understand this feeling. All he can do is silently stare at the girl who looks like she just fell asleep.
There is no pain, no sadness, only a tight feeling in the chest. This is the thought coming from Li Xun's body.
The things in his mind were also confusing and difficult for Li Xuan to sort out...
"I'm lying here, but I can't go on a school trip." Li Xuan told the girl under the glass...but the other party seemed to have lost hearing.
This lasted until night before the funeral began again...
The flames burned away all traces of this girl's presence in the world.
Seven days later.
The world changes both impermanently and rapidly.
After seven days, the terrorist attack was gradually forgotten by everyone.
At this time, we are in a mid-range apartment.
Li Xuan opened his eyes as the first ray of sunlight in the morning entered the room.
I put on my school uniform, walked into the bathroom, picked up my toothbrush and looked at myself in the mirror.
That eternal poker face is always cold. Li Xuan pinched his long black hair and was considering whether to cut it off, but when he looked at it, it was already time to go to school.
, so Li Xuan simply washed up a few times, took a piece of toasted bread and walked out of the room.
His home is very far from the school. Because of the terrorist attack, Li Xuan had to take another tram to another city and then transfer to a bus.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is something that has to be done.
Lifting one shoulder, he walked towards the tram stop.
Everything is as if nothing has changed, and the world is still running according to its original trajectory...Li Xun has always thought so.
Even if he discovers another world, his life in this world will remain the same.
But the death of that girl made Li Xuan deeply realize that another world will affect this world.
Li Xun was unable to change and did not want to change.
There was no terrorist attack this time, and Li Xun's luck was not that bad.
After getting on the tram safely, Li Xuan found that there were several students from the school in the carriage, and it was a bit crowded...
But fortunately I found a place...
The moment the tram arrived at the station, the crowd rushed out, but Li Xuan sat indifferently, waiting for everyone to leave before leaving...
This is what Li Xun thinks, but there seems to be someone who thinks the same as him.
In a short moment, there were only two people left in the carriage...Li Xuan and a young man who looked like a fox.
Judging from the way he is dressed, he should come from some kind of high-ranking family...
Since the British Empire ruled one-third of the world's land, the aristocracy has gradually been revived around the world.
As an area occupied by the New Federation of China, this province also has racial superiority.
"These mortals really dare to touch me." A look of disgust appeared on his face, and he patted the clothes on his body as if there was something dirty.
His temper was worse than expected, but Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to it.
Li Xuan stood up and was about to leave...
"Hey... the unknown king." The young man, whose eyes were squinted like a fox, suddenly said to Li Xuan who was about to step out of the tram.
King...the title of president is now popular, and there is no such thing as king, but Li Xuan still turned around and looked at the young man.
His eyes were like a fox's, showing a sense of cunning and cunning.
"Are you ready to be killed by me?"
Preparation to kill? Sorry, Li Xuan still wants to live a little longer and is preparing to answer this guy's unintelligible questions...
"You have been exposed. In this war of imperial power, you are a victim. Become a sacrifice to me, Harukawa Abe, and I will make your death look more beautiful."
After leaving only these words, he disappeared into the carriage.
