At about four o'clock in the morning, in the Stone Pillar Forest of the Red Sea in Africa, in the medical room of the "Sand Ship---Dawn".
Bedivere climbed up from the newly opened medical cabin and rubbed his shoulders. Almost all the injuries on his body were repaired, except for a little pain, and a burning sensation on his feet. He turned and looked at the other person next to him.
The medical cabin has been opened.
"Eve, are the father and son gone?" he asked subconsciously.
"The meaning is unknown. Father and son?"
"Well, that kitten and that ridiculously big tiger." Bedivere corrected.
"The distinguished guest in the medical cabin has completed treatment half a world ago, and another distinguished guest took him away." The ship's artificial intelligence replied.
"oh."
"Father and son?" Instead, Eve asked Bedivere: "The meaning is unclear, please explain."
"No... I'm just sleepy, don't worry about it." Bedivere fooled him casually. He didn't even know how he came to the conclusion that the two people were father and son. It was a strange guess. But Mu
Both Te and Gusta have left the Dawn, and this kind of thing is no longer important.
"Is it now... four o'clock in the morning?" Bedivere looked at the clock beside him and yawned: "Ah... I got up so early. Do you want to go back to the captain's cabin to make up for it?"
Let’s take a nap..."
"Captain, there was an emergency message from you an hour ago." But Eve said, "Do you want to accept it?"
"Take it." The werewolf young man said casually. Although he really wanted to catch up on some sleep, he wasn't actually very sleepy. Instead, he was very concerned about the emergency message sent an hour ago.
The electronic recording left by "Mr. Bedivere." The voice of Constantine, the Knight of the Round Table, sounded: "Elaine is awake. If you are free, come and visit him."
"...Elaine?" Bedivere frowned in disbelief. Wasn't Elaine's light soul left in a different world nine hundred years later during time travel? In this era, Elaine's soul is
The body is just an empty shell without a soul. Logically speaking, it is impossible to "wake up". What is going on?
The werewolf young man quickly put on his clothes and ran to the medical room, ignoring the sticky feeling of some medical gel on his body. About ten minutes later, the [British Battleship---Attack on the Paramedis]
In the medical room.
"Elaine, do you recognize me?" Bedivere asked.
"Um...uh..." The white bear man lying on the hospital bed replied vaguely. That may not be considered a kind of
The answer was that it was just a subconscious stress reaction to the environmental noise. His eyes were dull and drifting away, and he looked completely lost.
"What's going on?" the werewolf young man asked Prime Minister Merlin on the side curiously. Elaine looked both awake and unconscious, a state of dementia. This seemed worse than if he was completely asleep.
"As you can see, he has lost his soul." Merlin replied while raising his hand to release the shady barrier, sealing the compartment of the medical room where Elaine was to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping. In this way, only
Among them, Bedivere, Merlin, Constantine and Elaine can hear each other's words.
"His light soul was taken away and remains on the other side of time." Merlin then replied: "So the body of Elaine in front of us is just an empty shell without a soul, unable to think alone.
.He seems to be awake now, but because he has no light soul, he will remain in this state of dementia until his light soul is retrieved."
"Does this...mean that he will always be a fool..." Bediwell said helplessly: "Although this guy is a fool himself, but now this is too...
"
"Hey!" Constantine interrupted unhappily.
"...It would be fine if we just keep this state." Merlin shrugged: "At most, we can just treat him as a dementia patient and take care of his daily life temporarily. The problem is, he
This state is very unstable. Over time, it is very likely that a new light soul will awaken in this body and then...occupy his body."
"In other words, it's impossible for an empty shell to remain empty for a long time, right?" Bedivere rubbed his chin and thought: "Even if you leave it alone, Elaine's body, which is only an empty shell, will eventually
Or will another independent consciousness awaken...If it really becomes like that, what will happen?"
"The newly awakened light soul will reject the old light soul. Even when the body gets used to the newly awakened light soul, the body itself will reject the old light soul." Merlin shook his head and said: "If it becomes like that
, even if we can get back Elaine's original light soul, there is no way to put his light soul back into this body. The best case scenario will be that he has two light souls in one body, that is.
The so-called dual personality. This may affect his life; in the worst case, this body will completely reject the old light soul, and the old soul will become an ownerless soul and then disappear..."
"Then Elaine really died. Even if Elaine in this body is still alive, Elaine will no longer be the original Elaine." Constantine said with a pale face.
Merlin nodded silently.
"So...is there a way to delay the awakening of this soulless body?" Bedivere asked: "I guess you must have a way, Master Merlin?"
"The only way is to isolate Elaine's body from the outside world." Merlin said: "The less stimulation this body receives from the outside world, the slower the new light soul will awaken. Seal this body in a place where there is no sound.
There is no light source, and there is no depth of darkness that any external information can reach, which can inhibit the awakening of the new light soul to the greatest extent."
"You might as well seal his body in the coffin." Bedivere snorted: "But is there really no problem with doing this? Wouldn't Elaine's body be suffocated and die? Well, it needs to be used
Is the freezer compartment frozen and sealed?"
"I have a better way." Merlin said, taking out a bottle filled with gel-like objects from his arms: "I still remember that little tiger saved a group of people from the underground research institute of a certain pharmaceutical factory.
? While rescuing people, he also brought us a souvenir, which is this kind of medicine called [stasis gel]. This thing can make the creatures soaked in it appear in a state of hibernation or suspended animation.
, it is actually an inhibitor of quantum jump, which is a very black technology thing."
"You plan to soak Elaine's body in this kind of thing?" Bedivere asked.
"More accurately, just make a helmet-like equipment, soak his head in this, and stop his brain activity." Merlin replied, "I'm sorry that this [stasis gel] cannot be mass-produced."
. Even if I have a way to produce something similar, the current production is not enough to soak his whole body. The compromise is to soak his head in this to suspend life activities. The parts below the head are wrapped with [Shady Barrier]
stand up."
"Is this enough?"
"Not enough. Even if we put this body into a black coffin that is completely isolated from the outside world, his body will still be stimulated by the outside world, and some propagation media such as electromagnetic waves and photon waves will still have a way to penetrate into his body. Although it will
It has been greatly slowed down, but there will still be a new light soul slowly awakening in this soulless body." Merlin replied: "What we have to do is still race against time, try to get rid of the new light soul in this body before the new light soul awakens.
Bring Elaine's old soul back. This is the only thing we can do for him."
"...I understand. Just do this." Bedivere nodded and said: "I always feel that doing this is not good for Elaine, but if it is to let him survive...
.That’s it. When will you be ready for the next time travel?”
"I'm making adjustments." Merlin replied, "I will notify you when the adjustments are completed."
"There is another question." The werewolf youth asked again: "Tomorrow is the final battle of the [Round Table Trial] Arena. Elaine looks like this. I doubt he can wake up tomorrow. We can't let the final battle
Delay for a day or two?"
"The rules are the rules, they cannot be changed simply." Merlin shook his head: "Elaine will probably be absent from tomorrow's game."
"He is so unlucky." Bedivere looked thoughtfully at Elaine, who was in a daze on the hospital bed, and frowned regretfully.
"I also have a question." Constantine also asked: "If the child named Leo came to visit Elaine and saw him like this...or he was locked in a black coffin and couldn't move.
, how should I, the attending doctor, explain to that child?"
"Tell him the truth, of course." Bedivere rolled his eyes at Constantine.
"Are you...serious?" Constantine glared at Bedivere: "You can't just talk about time travel to outsiders, right?"
"But Leopold has the right to know all this, doesn't he?" Bedivere asked back.
"Why do you think so------" Constantine looked at Bedivere with a long face.
"After all, aren't the two of them, um, related?" Bedivere replied vaguely.
"Well, what's the relationship?" the young Knight of the Round Table asked maliciously, as if he didn't acknowledge the relationship between Elaine and Leoport at all.
"This is too stupid. I don't need to argue with you." The werewolf youth was furious and turned around and left: "In short, explain to Leo the ins and outs of the matter. Do you understand? You can avoid talking about time travel and rescue."
Queen Greenville, but at least the story of Elaine’s experience must be explained clearly. Elaine has worked hard, he has made the greatest sacrifice, and the people who care about him most have the right to know what he has done. If you don’t tell
If it's me, I will tell you everything. Which one has a greater impact? You can choose for yourself."
After watching Bedivere leave, Constantine and Merlin looked at each other. (To be continued)
