Siren Blade

Chapter 160 Head to Headquarters
The rescue team of the Security Bureau quickly found the shelter. Judging from their reaction, they were obviously shocked by the fact that the mirage had been destroyed. An event on the scale of "the destruction of a whole city" would definitely cause a huge earthquake in the hidden world of this country.

The rescue force went to contact more follow-up manpower and material resources, and now the survivors in the refuge were saved.At the beginning, the latter was very wary of the arrival of the rescue force, and took a very sensitive confrontational stance. Fortunately, Joe Licorice stepped forward, so there was no more unhappiness.

Qiao Licao was also in charge of communicating with the rescue force. I took a Mazza and sat down on the roof of the shelter.Although I really want to help her, I'm not good at that kind of communication after all, and I haven't eaten for so many days. It's the first time I've been so hungry in my life, and I feel dizzy from time to time.Joe Licorice has prepared a lot of food and water for me, and I plan to replenish my depleted body here first.

"Can your stomach take it? Do you really not need me to cook some porridge for you?" She asked worriedly.

"It's all right." I knew my own digestion.

She continued to do communication work.While eating my food, I took out my mobile phone, intending to contact Lie Que.But the phone call hadn't been made yet, I just heard an explosion in the sky, I subconsciously raised my head to look at the sky, and a thick purple thunderbolt fell in front of me, and immediately turned into a familiar figure, it was Lie Que.

"What happened here?" He asked with a sinking face, and at the same time he was observing me, his brows furrowed deeper, "Are you injured?"

"My spiritual body is injured, but let's not mention that..." I said briefly, explaining all my previous encounters.

He glanced at the Maza under my buttocks, and then manipulated the purple thunderbolt. He actually used electric current to weave a similar thing, and then sat down on his buttocks.It really opened my eyes that lightning spells can still do this.He patiently listened to all my narration, and then took a long breath.

"Really, Ming Yi became like that after being bitten by blood..." He said blankly, "And the sentence is heavy... He actually colluded with fanatics, and even the investigation team at the headquarters also covered him."

His eyes seemed to fly into the distance, and after a while, his attention seemed to come back, and his eyes fell on my face again.

"I didn't expect you to defeat the fanatic." He sighed and couldn't believe it.To use an adjective that has become more popular in recent years, his reaction is like hearing an ordinary person say that he killed a tiger with his superb sliding skills.Fanatics are such a formidable opponent compared to me.

Still, he accepted my account in its entirety.

"I was lucky too." When I thought of my previous battles, I also felt like I was walking on thin ice, and if I made a mistake, I would die without a place to die.

"Using the words of martial arts novels, a fanatic is also a big man who 'megatronically shakes the world'. Even if he is placed in the security bureau, he is enough to become the leader of a certain camp." He said, "Now your name will definitely Truly resounding in the hidden world. Not in infamy, but in fame."

"That's too exaggerated," I said.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." He smiled, looked at me again, and frowned again, "But, is your injury really okay?"

"According to the current speed, I only need to rest for a month or two, and my spiritual body should be healed." I said.

"I'm not talking about this..." He shook his head, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, you remember to go back and have a physical examination."

He turned and left, leaving me in a daze.Since the Mirage Security Bureau has been destroyed, the work of cleaning up the situation for the Mirage has fallen on the shoulders of the security bureaus of several neighboring cities, including the Liucheng Security Bureau.To do things like rescue and resettle survivors, collect the remains of victims, deal with demons and demon warlocks who may still be hiding in the city, etc., the fanatics really leave a lot of mess.

Yet the lingering influence of the fanatics is more lingering than I imagined.

I immediately understood what problem Lie Que noticed in the conversation with me.

It is also a very simple logic to say.Because my spiritual body was burned by the power of the true spirit, the recovery speed is very slow, which is still a mild symptom.If this is not my own true spirit power, it is not just a problem of slow recovery.What about my body?

My body was also severely injured by the power of the true spirit by the fanatics, and that was not my own power of the true spirit.Why is my spiritual body recovering so slowly, but my physical body has fully recovered now?I actually felt that my body was completely repaired, and the siren was the one responsible for the repair. On the contrary, I was in the dark under the lamp, looking at the seemingly healthy body without noticing this contradiction.As an outsider, Lie Que was keenly aware of the problem.

Maybe it's because I'm more energetic after eating and drinking, my drowsy mind finally really restarted, and I became aware of strange details.Although I have eaten so much, my body always has a lingering sense of hunger, as if some important element is still missing in my body.It doesn't mean that it will affect the activities, but I just feel unhappy.

Perhaps this is the so-called "emptiness does not make up"?But my modified flesh makes no sense that this should be the case.

I mentioned the abnormal situation I felt to the siren, and she asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you are sick? But you should not be sick."

"I'll have to do a comprehensive physical examination when I go back," I said.

"That's unnecessary." She said, "I've absorbed the memories of so many demon warlocks, and I'm very proficient in the human body, so let me do this physical examination for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you," I said, "but what are you going to do?"

"I don't need any special spells, just input spirituality as a probe..."

While she was talking, I felt that the inside of my body seemed to be stuffed with tentacles as small as fluff, and I felt a little restless.She seems to have started the physical examination.

"It's the first time I've done this, and it might make you a little uncomfortable," she said, "Let me see, well, it's really all right... Wait, this is..."

The strange feeling inside my body suddenly disappeared, and she fell into a long silence.

"What's the matter? What did you find?" Although I asked, she hesitated, as if she didn't know how to tell me.

After a while, she finally explained clearly.

Simply put, I probably have less than a year left to live.

My body has been specially modified to fully adapt to the power of "it", and without the support of "it", I cannot survive alone.According to the past physical examination results of the Security Bureau, I would die within two years or four years.And the serious injuries caused to me by the fanatics using the power of the true spirit made it worse. My body only seemed to be completely repaired, but the damage still remained in my body in another form that could not be repaired anyway.

I realized right away that this was a "true wound" and an "irreparable wound."

The weapons I have always used against others have finally fallen on me.

I can't blame Siren for not diagnosing this matter in the first place. This is due to my own characteristics.Before my lifespan is exhausted, I can still live as before, even fighting, diseases in the normal sense cannot invade me, no matter how you look at it, I am extremely healthy.

I tentatively tried to see if I could solve this problem.For example, since my head has not been injured by fanatics, can I replace all the body parts below the head?This method is whimsical and even crazy to others, but it can be easily realized for me who has super-speed regeneration.As long as the head is cut off first, and then the body parts below the head are regenerated at a super speed.

It does sound a bit outrageous, but it is a bowl-sized injury, which is nothing compared to the injuries I experienced before, and it is a bit troublesome to deal with the rest of my body.

But this attempt also failed, and the regenerated body remained the same.I am afraid that the power of the true spirit of the fanatics has hurt something essential.

The cognition and application of the power of the true spirit by fanatics is obviously more advanced than mine.If he used the power of the true spirit to cut off someone else's arm, it is estimated that there would not be any tricks and circumvention methods such as "just cut off the wound and a new arm can be regenerated".Maybe in his eyes, my use of the power of the true spirit is like using a machine gun as a mallet.If I hadn't possessed the power of the true spirit, I wouldn't have been able to escape from such a fatal injury.

And even if I can do the same thing as him in the future, I can't reverse this change.I strongly felt that the "invisible countdown" hidden in this body had jumped for more than half of the time.Just like time will not go back, the lost lifespan will not come back.

Frankly, I don't feel much about the fact that I have less life left.Although there is an instinctive sense of urgency, I do not resist death.I was originally a person who deserved to die.only……

It's just that I thought of Siren, this girl who was destined to share my life and death with me.

If I die, she will be buried with me.

I……
-
After returning to Liucheng, I wrote a report on my experience and handed it to Lie Que, and also went to accept the physical examination of the Security Bureau, and the result was similar to what Siren said.

Out of confidentiality norms, the medical examiner only told me about this matter, and as a list of my superiors.Blue Bird is no longer my watcher, so I don't know about it yet.What Lie Que meant was for me to tell Jade Bird myself that I also have this idea.But when it came time to speak, I felt that it was more difficult to speak out than to express any of my thoughts.

I have no intention of hiding the blue bird, but, I feel scared.

Why do I have this emotion?All along, I have nothing to hide from the blue bird.My weakness, my stupidity, my meanness, my obscenity... even my suspicion of her, I also told her all.How is this different from what I confessed in the past?
Conversely, why did I hide nothing from the blue bird in the past?

Perhaps it was because I hoped that Jade Bird would be willing to accept me even in such a despicable way, but also sincerely hoped that she would despise me and simply push me away.As long as she stays far away from me, I can finally die alone in a corner where no one can see.

But, now I can't even die alone.When I die, someone will die with me.Whenever I realize this, it hurts me a lot.

And now even if I say that to Blue Bird, she won't stay away from me.She has been looking for ways to prolong my life for me, but I have lost so much of my life outside.My words just make her cry.

The next morning, Lie Que contacted me,
"Have you told Blue Bird about that matter of yours?" He asked in a complicated tone.

"Not yet," I said.

"Aren't you going to tell her?" he asked.

"No, I will tell her in two days at most." This is the deadline I set for myself, no matter what, it is still impossible for me to hide the blue bird.What's more, it is irresponsible to conceal this matter.

"Really." Lie Que said after a moment's pause, "But I'm not here to ask you about that, I'm going to take you on a business trip."

Hearing this, I directly asked the question I was most concerned about, "How many days will I be traveling for?"

"Don't worry, it won't prevent you from confessing to Qingniao. Because Qingniao is going on a business trip with us," he said.

"Where are you going on a business trip, and the three of us need to go together?" I asked suspiciously.

"The headquarters of the Security Bureau in the capital." He said, "What the fanatics have done has shocked the headquarters. The Security Bureau can no longer tolerate the organization like the previous night's continued domineering, and is preparing to concentrate its forces to launch a large-scale extermination campaign against the previous night. Therefore, the headquarters will hold a big meeting hosted by the legal camp in the capital. Jade Bird is my successor in the legal camp, and she has to show up on such important occasions."

"And you, as the hero who solved the mirage and fog incident with your own hands, also have to show up at the meeting." He continued, "In addition, the damage to your spirit body is too deep. The damage caused, right? We don’t have the conditions for you to recuperate here, but there must be at the headquarters, and you have to rest there for a while.”

"I see," I said. "When are we going?"

"Now," he said.

In the afternoon, Lie Que took Jade Bird and I to the capital by train.

"Li Duo, are you okay?" Qingniao asked with concern, "Is your body still hurting?"

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Actually, it still hurts, but it's not unbearable, and I'm used to it.

"Let's report to the headquarters first." Lie Que said.

We move towards headquarters.Looking at the streets with people coming and going, I unconsciously thought of the deserted mirage.In such a peaceful situation, the war in the hidden world is about to start.
