Bedivere walked out of the darkness, passing through one cold floor after another stained with bright red, and came to the last and most deeply hidden scene.
It was hidden so deeply in Queeg's subconscious that Bedivere even had to follow Queeg's memory to find this place and this fragment of memory.
There, everything was frozen. It was no longer a moving picture, but more like a scene composed of cold statues.
There, the young leopard man Queeg knelt in front of a cold corpse, covered in crimson.
He drove a sharp stake through Tugg's chest, thus ending the child's suffering. The surrounding guards used spears to try to restrain Queeg, but their weapons penetrated the translucent Queeg's body and had no effect. Queeg
Ge's [virtualization] ability was probably awakened on that day.
"Quig." The werewolf young man walked over slowly and sat quietly next to the leopard man: "It's very sad, isn't it."
[It’s very sad.]
"There's nothing you can do except free him, right?"
[Nothing can be done.]
"You have been blaming yourself and cursing your own powerlessness. You think that if you had greater power, you might be able to protect him, right?"
[Yes.]
"Then you are wrong." Bedivere said: "In order to resist fate, you did everything you could. You agreed to the little boy's request, and you should have a clear conscience. The same thing, no matter how many thousand or more it would cost you to do it again,
A hundred times, the result will be the same. The point is not what you did first was good or bad, but the choice you made without regrets."
So, there was a moment of silence.
"Tuge will wake up, I promise. I will use the best medical technology and the best medicine to find a way to wake him up." Bedivere said, "So... please wake up too."
Face him. No matter if you are in pain or regret, no matter if you are apologizing or thanking him, please once again hold your chest high and stand in front of him."
Queeg's phantom appears next to Bedivere.
"I can't do it..." he said.
"You can do it." Bedivere grabbed Queeg's hand: "He is your relative, there is nothing to be afraid of."
The locked darkness gradually receded, and the dusty world fell apart. Queeg stood in front of Bedivere. This time he was no longer a translucent illusion, but a solid person.
"I... am so scared..." He wiped his tears and cried like a child who was afraid of the dark.
"I know you're scared. But we're here too. You're not alone. Please trust us, okay?"
"...Yeah." Queeg agreed obediently.
And there was a sound in the sky. A strange noise that was rubbing the air.
Bedivere raised his head and looked at the Jotun giant that was gradually falling from the sky and approaching rapidly, with its teeth and claws bared. But the monster finally came and wanted to stop Bedivere for the last time. But the Jotun giant at this time was not scary.
is slower than Bediville—three times!
"Anyway, let's beat that guy to a pulp first." The werewolf young man took out the spell fire calmly.
"Uh!" Bedivere came to his senses. In reality, Queeg had already let go of his hand. He pushed the young leopard man and backed away!
His throat was bruised and painful, but at least it wasn't broken.
"Boss!" Lawrence, who is also a conjurer, was the first to understand what happened: "Success?"
"Successful." Bedivere affirmed: "Everyone, enter the second stage of the operation! Prepare the barrier generator projection device!"
"Oh!" "Come right away!" The two tough men next to them could not wait to take out their equipment. The opportunity to personally defeat a legendary ancient creature like the Jotun Giant may only come once in a lifetime.
"Uh! Uhhhhhh!" Queeg was retreating while shouting in pain. Queeg's consciousness was fighting with the Jotun giant's consciousness, trying to drive the Yotun giant out of his body.
"You can't get rid of me!" the Jotun giant shouted in Queeg's voice: "You good-for-nothing guy! Just accept your fate!"
"No... don't!" Queeg also resisted in Queeg's voice, as if he was schizophrenic.
"What are you struggling for! What are you resisting!" The Jotun giant still kept saying: "Don't move around there! I will ravage you! I will crush you! I will humiliate you!"
"Just lie on the ground and accept everything I give you!"
"Just keep silent and accept the fate I give you!"
"Slave race...no, despicable things below the slave race!"
The giant roared: "Trampling an insignificant ant like you on the ground is obviously my supreme entertainment!"
"That's why you lost, Jotun Giant." Bediwell raised the magic fire: "Origin, status, race... ignore these things and only calculate the value of the soul——
——All lives are equal, no one is more noble than anyone else, and no one is more humble than anyone else!"
With a squeeze of his hand, flames burst out from Queeg's body, pouring out of the leopard man's nostrils, mouth, and ears. It was a harmless flame, but it had other meanings.
That's right, Bedivere used a spell just now to carve a curse into Queeg's body.
He ordered Queeg's body to drive out the spirit of the Jotun giant! And Queeg's consciousness was happy to do so!
The body and mind of the Leopard Man Queeg are repelling the Jotun Giant, so naturally there is no place for that guy! Along with the flames, a burst of mercury-like white mist pours out of Queeg's body, rises in the air, and forms a ball!
"Close the net!" The time has come, Bediwell gave the order.
Nat and Bereld fired out the so-called "Boundary Generator Projection Device" almost at the same time, which were two spheres. Those spheres formed a spherical barrier in mid-air, instantly capturing the white mist, and then they
When it hits the ground, the barrier shrinks and becomes unbreakable.
The Jotun giant is perfectly trapped within it.
"Hey, Jotun Giant!" Bediwell walked up to the sphere and stepped on it: "It is indeed my highest entertainment to trample an insignificant ant like you on the ground!"
"You will regret it!" The white mist made a weak voice.
"No." The werewolf youth picked up the sphere and smiled sinisterly, "The energy of this sphere is said to last for two hundred years. I will seal you in cement, sink you into the deepest part of the Red Sea, and lock you up until the end of the world. - And
And you?"
He looked at the chaotic white mist in the sphere.
"There is no body to attach to. There is no other person's will to integrate with. How long can you last without being a parasite anymore?" Bedivere sneered: "[The decline of the soul] has already caught up with you. You just sit quietly at the bottom of the sea."
Wait for death, you old thing from the old days!"
"No!" The monster's roar became weaker and weaker: "No, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Ten minutes later, in the Dawn's medical room.
The staff from Great Britain had just arrived to remove Tugger's life-saving capsule and were preparing to perform multiple surgeries on the child for the last time. In the medical room where the life-support capsule had been removed, Quigg stood quietly.
"Are you okay?" Bediwell asked from behind the leopard man young man.
"Yeah." The other party answered a little perfunctorily and absent-mindedly.
"By the way. I just want you to know that the things I have seen in your subconscious will never be told to anyone else." Bediwell said again: "Lawrence, please don't worry, I will
Let him shut his mouth."
"I'm not worried." Queeg said with a bitter face: "Even if you know, you don't care."
"That's good." Bedivere also smiled bitterly: "Let's go. This time with [the water of the Lake of Immortality], Tuge will definitely be saved."
"Yeah." Queeg nodded.
"I want to confirm for the last time," the werewolf youth walked out of the medical room and asked the magic swordsman Solar who was guarding the door: "Is it really okay? I tried to revive Leoport with the lake water before.
It only took effect for a short while. Then he left. It seems that the lake is not omnipotent."
"That's because Mr. Leopold passed away before using the lake water. Even the lake water cannot go against the laws of nature and bring the dead back to life." Solar replied: "But the Leopard Man Tuge who was sent for treatment this time is still alive."
It's very weak, but there are indeed signs of life deep inside the body. The lake will amplify the signs of life and temporarily bring him out of the line of death. After that, it depends on the level of the doctor, my friend."
"Okay." Bedivere nodded and turned to look at Queeg: "We did everything we could. No matter what the outcome is, don't regret it?"
"I don't regret it." The Leopard Man young man replied, with a firmness he had never seen before.
"Elaine? What are you doing here?" When he arrived at the medical room, Bediwell not only saw Constantine, but also the white lion Elaine who was waiting aside. Elaine, who had just lost Leo, was supposed to
Resting in the Dawn, I didn't expect this guy to cheer up and come over here to join in the fun.
Cheer up...it doesn't seem to be the case. Elaine looks a little distracted, and her eyes are still red.
"Because there is a small problem, I may not be able to be the chief surgeon of this operation." Constantine raised his arm, which was bandaged, as if he was injured: "So I asked Elaine to help.
."
"Elaine was the surgeon?" Bedivere had never heard of what happened before, so he was surprised: "Are you kidding me? How can he be the surgeon? Is he a doctor?"
"He is." Constantine said, "Leopard was revived by him. Although the resurrection only lasted a short time."
"No, it won't fail this time..." the white lion man muttered in a low voice: "Absolutely, must, save. Really save."
Bedivere still doubted Elaine's ability, but he couldn't doubt the persistence in Elaine's eyes.
"I will also be there to guide him in the operation. There will never be any trouble, I promise." Constantine also said.
Elaine, who had just lost Leo, must have had great awareness before appearing in front of the operating room again. Even if she had encountered misfortune, she still wanted others to be happy.
——Who can deny this sincere heart of wanting to help others?
Bedivere turned his head and glanced at Queeg for confirmation. Queeg nodded without complaint.
"Then let's start, please." They finally chose to believe in miracles.
The operation process was very short. I don’t know whether it was because Elaine’s movements were faster than Constantine’s [Hand of God], or because the [Lake of Immortality] was so powerful, but the lights in the operating room turned on for a while and then went out again.
. But it was really not a major surgery. It was just to treat trauma and sew up the body of a dying person. The rest is all the credit of the "Lake of Eternal Life".
The tired-looking White Lion boy walked out of the operating room. Behind him was Constantine, who also looked quite tired. Elaine found a bench to lean on, and was instantly overwhelmed.
"The operation... was successful." Constantine was so weak that he leaned on the wall and said, relying only on his will as a doctor to hold on: "The child's life signs... have stabilized."
"Great." Bedivere finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Queeg next to him was the same.
"His condition needs to be monitored for some time. But I believe he will survive." Constantine went over and picked up the sleeping White Lion boy: "Let other doctors handle the rest. No, okay."
I'm sleepy...I have to retreat first."
As if he was afraid that no one would take care of Elaine if he fell here, Constantine hurried away with Elaine.
"Thank you..." At this time, Queeg burst into tears again. He took turns wiping the tears from his eyes with both hands: "How...how should I repay you?"
"No need for anything." Bedivere said, but he thought for a moment and changed his words: "If you really want to repay us, just treat us to dinner, chef. Especially, please cook a good meal for Elaine."
"Uh, um!" Queeg agreed in a hoarse voice, crying and laughing like a simple child. (To be continued)
