"Why...my king has become like this?" Melina asked.
"This starts with a car accident..."
When Shiri talked about this again, Futaba also cooperated and came to Melina's side holding her laptop.
"Let's watch this video first. This is the report about Qiu Yuan's death at that time." Xili said.
Melina turned her attention to the video playing on the laptop screen...
The title of this video is "Two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 30 tourists were killed when the tour bus crashed into a cliff. The following are the recorded images of the bus tourists during their lifetimes."
The person who shot the video seemed to be Qiu Yuan's mother, because in the video Qiu Yuan was sitting by the window of the bus with an expression on her face that she wanted to vomit.
Seeing Qiu Yuan's expression, Qiu Yuan's mother said something disgusting like "I should let you go out for a walk in normal times! Now you can even take a bus to do this..." or something like that.
But I still asked Qiu Yuan’s father, who was sitting in the front row, to find some motion sickness medicine.
But this warm scene didn't last long. Suddenly there was a strong impact, and then the filming scene shook together.
The next second there were bursts of harsh metal tearing and crashing sounds, as well as the desperate shouts of tourists in the big bus...
In the end, after several violent impacts, the bus completely fell to the bottom of the cliff, and the lens in the video was completely shattered and turned into a silent blank.
"My king..."
Melina looked at the blank screen and felt her heart tightening.
"Qiu Yuan himself seemed to have been transferred away by the power of this wishing machine when he fell, but at this time the earth had already been occupied by nightmares."
"So Qiu Yuan's shadow remained on that big bus, which is equivalent to the nightmare tearing off part of Qiu Yuan and leaving it on the earth."
Xili couldn't explain what exactly happened at that time, just like they couldn't figure out the origin of the wishing machine.
Melina was silent for a while after listening to Ciri's summary, and once again asked a question that touched the hearts of everyone in the tavern.
"What about my king's parents?" When Melina asked this, Shirley and Futaba looked at each other.
Futaba made a reluctant sound of "Hmm," and Shiri gestured to Futaba, "Let's show it to her."
This made Futaba can only hold back the grief and stress reaction in her heart, and took out a photo and showed it to Melina.
Melina's eyes widened when she saw this photo...
Because this was a photo taken in a morgue, even though it was covered with white cloth, Melina could still see the outlines of two corpses.
"As you can see... just now he and Qiu Yuan were laughing and talking softly on the bus. It can be said that the most important parents to him have now become lying in the morgue.
A cold, stiff, body covered in spots."
When Xili said this, Melina was choked up and couldn't speak at all.
The first person who couldn't bear it was Futaba who had known this for a long time.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I still can't stand it." Futaba said that she couldn't even hold the notebook in her hand steady.
Shiri could only keep touching Futaba's little head with her hands, and at the same time comforted Futaba and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry."
Faced with this huge tragedy, Melina's endurance was stronger than Futaba's. She took a few deep breaths to adjust her emotions and asked.
"What about my king's half on earth? Who is taking care of my king's half on earth now?"
"Regarding this aspect... Qiu Yuan's medical expenses have always been paid for by the inheritance left by his parents, and daily care must not be entirely dependent on the hospital's nurses."
After Xiri comforted Futaba, she asked Futaba to call up a surveillance screen.
This surveillance picture shows a man with an extremely cold face and a strong body sitting on a wooden chair.
Melina looked at this strange man... and could clearly feel that 'he' had no soul, like a puppet on strings.
"He is Qiu Yuan's distant cousin...the relationship seems to be like this."
"Anyway, he was also on the bus at the time. He was already brain dead when we found him, but his body was still intact, so..."
Xili paused for a moment before telling the truth directly.
"So we borrowed his body and used this method to take care of Qiu Yuan's half body."
"Borrow his body?" Melina was still thinking about how to use it.
"Is it similar to soul possession?"
Shirley explained directly.
"If we simply bring our consciousness to this body, the happiness crystals we need to consume are very small, so small that they can be ignored."
"So everyone in the tavern takes turns taking care of Qiu Yuan every day. I remember that the person on duty yesterday was the demon hunter Dante?"
Melina listened and glanced at the demon hunter who was chatting with a swordsman named Link in front of the tavern bar.
No matter what, Dante didn't look like he could take care of patients.
"Who is on duty today?"
After Shirley comforted Futaba, she suddenly became curious about who was on duty today.
"Well... let me see, it seems that Dante and his brother Vergil are on duty these days."
Futaba knocked on her notebook and took a look at the schedule, and was shocked to find that the person on duty today was none other than the demon hunter's brother, Virgil.
Virgil?
When Melina heard the name, she immediately turned her head and looked towards the corner of the tavern.
As usual, this aloof demon swordsman was sitting alone on a food stall chair holding the Yama Demon Sword.
After Virgil felt Melina's gaze, Virgil looked back without fear...
With a look that could almost be described as cold and arrogant, Melina didn't feel any sense of oppression, but...
Why did Melina see this brother Virgil... He doesn't even look like the type to take care of patients!
No matter how you look at it, it is a killer star that can easily take away the lives of tens of thousands of people without even blinking an eye!
"Is he really capable of taking care of my king?" Melina directly expressed her worries.
"Don't worry, the job on duty is actually very simple. It's just to help Qiu Yuan pay the medical bills and exercise cousin Qiu Yuan's body at the same time."
Ciri waved her hand and vouched for Virgil.
"Virgil has been on duty several times this year. During his tenure, he was much more reliable than his brother Dante."
While Shiri was sworn to vouch for Virgil, Futaba raised her hand to remind Shiri of something.
"But...but Xili...if we are sure to purchase goods from Captain Qiuyuan's world...shouldn't we also wake up the half of Captain Qiuyuan on Earth?"
"Although the situation of the leader on Earth is indeed very bad, but... we cannot... nor are we qualified to let him sleep forever."
Futaba's proposal once again attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.
Although Qiu Yuan's shadow on the earth is in a deep coma, everyone in the tavern still has some methods to wake up Qiu Yuan...
They didn't wake up Qiu Yuan's half-body on Earth before because the current Earth is a real nightmare for Qiu Yuan.
Just the death of his parents was a serious enough blow to Qiu Yuan, and Qiu Yuan's body on Earth was also very weak.
Not only is the loss of multiple organs in the body, especially the loss of taste and smell, but also muscle atrophy and fragile bones, etc., which deprives Qiuyuan of the ability to walk...
Therefore, letting Qiu Yuan wake up with this half body on earth is not so much that Qiu Yuan returned to earth, but rather that Qiu Yuan was captured into a cage called reality and subjected to torture.
Not to mention that after Qiuyuan suffered these tortures and pains, Qiuyuan's shadow disease symptoms would be aggravated.
But even so...
"Everyone... I still think that Qiu Yuan's half body on earth should be awakened. I didn't make this decision because Qiu Yuan's half body was so weak that he couldn't live a normal life. Now... I think it's time."
Xili also agreed with Futaba's idea, and Xili's proposal was still unanimously approved by everyone.
Because everyone present is a conscious person who would rather live in pain than know nothing.
and…
"Qiu Yuan's parents protected Qiu Yuan very well even after death..."
Xili turned her head and looked at the projection of Qiu Yuan lying on the hospital bed and said softly.
"Now it's our turn as Qiu Yuan's family... to protect him."
After everyone made the decision to wake up Qiu Yuan, Virgil, who had been silent in the corner, had a faint smile on his lips.
Then Virgil stood up from the chair and walked towards the wishing machine.
This aloof magic swordsman is already ready to take Qiu Yuan home.
"Hey! Virgil!"
Dante, who was still chatting and talking before, was probably the one who couldn't let go of his brother the most, so he still stopped Vergil before he left.
Virgil just glanced sideways at his unreliable brother and said in a deep voice.
"You don't need to say anything, Dante! I will take good care of him."
After leaving these words, Virgil came to the wishing machine, put his hand on the wishing machine, and then closed his eyes.
The next second, in the monitoring screen of Futaba's notebook, Qiu Yuan's distant cousin in the chair suddenly opened his eyes and burst out with an extremely oppressive aura.
