Chapter 21 It's Our Turn to Protect Him
"Why... my king became like this?" Melina asked.

"It starts with a car accident..."

When Shirley talked about this again, Futaba also cooperated with her and came to Melina's side holding her laptop.

"Let's watch this video first. It was a report about the death of Qiu Yuan at that time," Xili said.

Melina turned her target to the video screen playing on the laptop screen...

The title of this video is "Tourist bus fell off the cliff, two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and [-] tourists were killed. The following is the video recorded by the bus tourists during their lifetime."

The shooter of the video seems to be Qiu Yuan's mother, because in the video, Qiu Yuan sat on the window seat of the bus with a nauseous expression on his face.

Qiuyuan's mother saw Qiuyuan's expression, although she said something disgusting, "I should let you go out for a walk! Now you can take a bus like this..." and other disgusting words.

But Qiuyuan's father, who was sitting in the front row, was still asked to find out the medicine for motion sickness.

But this warm picture didn't last long, suddenly there was a strong impact, and then the shooting picture also shook along with it.

The next second was a burst of piercing metal tearing and crashing, as well as the desperate cries of tourists in the bus...

In the end, the bus completely fell under the cliff under several violent impacts, and the footage in the video was completely shattered and turned into a silent blank.

"My king, he..."

Melina looked at the blank picture and felt her heart was tightened.

"Qiuyuan himself seems to have been transferred away by the power of this wishing machine when he fell, but at this time the earth has already been occupied by nightmares."

"So Qiu Yuan's shadow remained on the big bus, which is equivalent to a nightmare that tore a part of Qiu Yuan off and left it on the earth."

Ciri also couldn't explain what happened at that time, just like the origin of the wishing machine, they couldn't figure it out.

Melina was silent for a while after listening to Ciri's summary, and asked a question that pierced the hearts of everyone in the tavern.

"What about my king's parents?" When Melina asked this, Ciri and Futaba looked at each other.

Futaba made a voice that sounded reluctant, "Mummu", and Ciri made a gesture of "Let's show her" to Futaba.

Futaba could only suppress the grief and stress response in his heart, and pulled out a photo to show Melina.

Melina's eyes widened when she saw this picture...

Because this is a photo taken in the morgue, even though it is covered with a white cloth, Melina can still see the outlines of the 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 are now lying in the morgue. A cold, stiff, speckled corpse."

When Ciri said this, Melina choked up and couldn't speak at all.

The first one who couldn't bear it was Futaba who already knew about this.

"No matter how many times I read it, I still can't take it." Futaba said that she couldn't even hold the notebook in her hand steadily.

Shirley could only keep touching Futaba's small head with her hands, and at the same time comforted Futaba by saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry."

Faced with this huge tragedy, Melina's ability to bear it was stronger than Futaba's. She asked after taking a few deep breaths to adjust her emotions.

"What about my king's half body on earth? Who is taking care of my king's half body on earth now?"

"Regarding this aspect...Qiu Yuan's medical expenses have always been paid by the inheritance left by his parents, and the daily care must not be entirely dependent on the nurses in the hospital."

After Xili comforted Futaba, she asked Futaba to call up a surveillance screen.

This surveillance picture is a picture of a man with an extremely cold face and a strong figure sitting on a wooden chair.

Melina looked at this strange man...can clearly feel that 'he' doesn't have any soul, like a marionette.

"He is Qiu Yuan's distant cousin...the relationship seems to be like this."

"Anyway, he was also on that bus at the time. He was brain dead when we found him, but his body is still intact so..."

Ciri paused at this point, and then directly told the truth.

"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 borrow it.

"It's almost like possessing a soul?"

Ciri explained directly.

"If we just bring our own consciousness to this body, the crystallization of happiness that needs to be consumed is very small, so small that it can be ignored."

"So everyone in the tavern took turns taking care of Qiuyuan every day. I remember that the person on duty yesterday was Dante, the demon hunter?"

Melina glanced at the demon hunter who was chatting nonsense with a swordsman named Link in front of the tavern bar.

In any case, Dante didn't look like he would take care of the sick.

"Speaking of who is on duty today?"

After comforting Futaba, Ciri suddenly wondered who was on duty today.

"Hmm... Let me see, it seems that Dante and his brother Virgil are on duty these days."

Futaba knocked on her notebook and glanced at the schedule, and suddenly found that the person on duty today was none other than Virgil, the brother of the demon hunter.

Virgil?
Melina immediately turned her head to the corner of the tavern when she heard the name.

This lonely magic swordsman sat alone on a stall chair holding Yan Modao as usual.

After Virgil felt Melina's gaze, Virgil looked back without fear...

The eyes that can be described as cold and arrogant, although Melina will not feel any sense of oppression, but...

How did Melina see this elder brother Virgil... He doesn't seem like the type to take care of patients!

No matter how you look at it, it is a killer who can easily take tens of thousands of lives without even blinking an eye!
"Is he really competent to take care of my king?" Melina directly expressed her worries.

"Don't worry, the job on duty is actually very simple, just help Qiu Yuan pay the medical expenses, and exercise the body of Qiu Yuan's cousin by the way."

Ciri waved her hands and vouched for Virgil.

"Virgil has been on duty several times this year, and he was much more reliable than his younger brother Dante during his tenure."

While Ciri was swearing to vouch for Virgil, Futaba raised her hand to remind Ciri of one thing.

"But... but Shirley... if we are sure to buy from Captain Qiuyuan's world... shouldn't it be time to wake up his half body on Earth?"

"Although the leader's situation on Earth is indeed very bad, but... we can't... and we are not qualified to let him sleep forever."

Futaba's proposal once again attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.

Although Qiuyuan is in a deep coma in the shadow of the earth, everyone in the tavern still has some methods to wake him up...

They didn't wake up Qiuyuan's half body on the earth before, because the earth is a real nightmare for Qiuyuan today.

Just the death of both parents was a serious enough blow to Qiu Yuan, and Qiu Yuan's body on Earth was also very weak.

Not only the lack of multiple organs in the body, especially the loss of taste and smell, but also muscle atrophy and bone fragility deprived Qiu Yuan of the ability to walk...

So really letting Qiuyuan wake up with this half body on the earth, it is not so much letting Qiuyuan return to the earth, it is better to say that Qiuyuan is caught in the cage called reality to be tortured.

Not to mention that after Qiu Yuan suffered these tortures and pains, it would aggravate Qiu Yuan's symptoms of shadow disease.

But even so...

"Everyone... I still think that Qiu Yuan's half body on the earth should be awakened. I didn't make this decision because Qiu Yuan's half body was too weak to live normally. Now... I think it's time."

Ciri also agreed with Futaba's idea, and Ciri's proposal was still unanimously approved by everyone.

Because all the people present are enlightened people who would rather live in pain than know nothing.

and…

"Qiu Yuan's parents will protect Qiu Yuan very well even after death..."

Xili said softly after looking sideways at the projection of Qiu Yuan lying on the hospital bed.

"Now it's our turn as Qiuyuan's family...to protect him."

After everyone made the decision to wake up Qiuyuan, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Virgil's mouth who had been silent in the corner.

Then Virgil stood up from the chair and walked towards the wishing machine.

This lone magic swordsman is ready to take Qiu Yuan home.

"Hey! Virgil!"

Dante, who was still chatting wildly before, was probably the one who was most worried about his brother, so he still stopped Virgil before he left.

Virgil just glanced sideways at his unreliable brother and said in a deep voice.

"You don't need to talk too much, Dante! I'll take care of him."

After leaving these words, Virgil came to the wishing machine, put his hand on the wishing machine and closed his eyes.

In the next second, in the monitoring screen of Futaba Notebook, Qiu Yuan's distant cousin who was sitting on the chair suddenly opened his eyes and burst out with a very oppressive aura.
