Emerald eyes opened,
There are bright lights on the snow-white ceiling, with a white halo.
She whispered "Ah" softly and sat up from the hospital bed. Feeling something strange in her hands, she put her hands in front of her.
The clenched fist was gently opened, and a ring lay quietly in the palm. In a trance, Reina saw the flame jumping out of the ring, like an elf, giving birth to hands and feet. She slowly got up, waved to her, and hit A lovely hello.
Reina was too nervous to move, surrounded by the hospital's unique smell of disinfectant. For some reason, ever since she woke up, she could always hear strange sounds surrounding her ears, and various noises echoed in the corridor.
The soft footsteps, the soft sound of the door opening, the murmuring whispers, and the crisp sound of the collision of glass bottle mouths have become more acute and clear in the hearing that was once ignored.
Even the vision becomes a little different. The power changes the structure of the eye lens. It seems to be able to penetrate the human body in front of you and see what is surging under the skin. Different people have different colors.
"What's wrong with me?"
Along with these strange things, Rena's head gradually became heavier, her consciousness slowly became blurred, and she could feel the invisible, strange, and extraordinary power that she had never experienced before, slowly flowing through her body.
This was a strange experience, as if something wanted to break through the barrier and come to her side.
The flame was burning, and I just thought it would be better if it could be bigger.
"Suddenly",
A beam of fire burned from Reina's palm. Reina was so frightened that she quickly clenched her fists and the flame was extinguished.
When she opened her palm again, the flame returned to its original elf-like appearance.
"Awakened One?"
"What?"
The flames just caught the doctor's attention, and he came over and expressed enthusiastic concern. Reina raised her head in confusion, her palm-sized face full of doubts.
Awakener?
She had heard of this term, and it seemed that they were a group of unique people with special and extraordinary powers, but she did not expect that she would be related to the Awakened Ones.
"This is true for people who have just awakened. Some people will lose control of their power, and some people won't feel it at all. People with different physiques are all different, so don't worry."
The doctor thought Reina was scared, so he comforted her.
"I...awakened...?"
Reina was shocked by the news. She heard slight footsteps outside the door, and then the door to the ward was opened.
The two turned their heads.
"Captain Chris."
The doctor greeted Chris familiarly.
"Leave her to me."
"yes."
Chris walked towards Lena and waited for the doctor to close the door and leave. There was a "click" from the door, and Chris knelt down on one knee. This was standard knightly etiquette. Even if he wasn't wearing his work uniform, he still chose to show his respect to the doctor. Lena salutes:
"Sorry, Miss Reina, my subordinate is late."
"It's okay. We're not in the manor now. Besides, I'm not a young lady outside. I don't have so many rules. Get up quickly."
Reina hurriedly got out of bed and helped him up. The eldest lady seemed to remember something. She looked around, put on her shoes, and walked around the nearby ward, and found that except for Chris, there was no other familiar person.
"Where is Mr. Lochlan? And...is Evel here too?"
When she woke up in the alley, she was frightened by the two corpses and felt a little dazed. Then she felt the changes in herself. It was not until she came to the museum that she slowly recovered.
She recalled that she seemed to have seen Evel at that time, and a dark figure hidden in the shadows behind him.
But she doesn't know,
Foley's death was caused by Nika.
"Miss Reina, my subordinates have just asked. The person who came with you is in the operating room. I heard that the alchemist from the Atlas Alchemy Institute is also participating."
Chris explained to Lena.
"Is it Mr. Lockran?"
Could it be that he was injured?
Rena was a little anxious.
"I don't know, they don't know his name."
Chris shook his head and said.
"Please take me there."
"As you command, Miss Rena."
Chris performed a ritual of obedience to Lena.
"Oh, I told you, you don't need to be so restrained. Once I leave the manor... I will no longer be the eldest lady."
"As you command!"
"well……"
…
On the door,
The operating light is still on,
Jiang Chenchuan has returned from the third underground floor, finished his conversation with Leonid, and is waiting at the door of the operating room. He leans against the wall, supports his cane, and looks at the ground quietly, wondering what is going on in his mind. .
Strip away the relics,
This is different from ordinary surgery and carries great risks. Once it fails, everyone will not only face the risk of death of the parasite, but also may cause accidents such as loss of control of the relics.
"How long have they been in there?"
Reina came to Jiang Chenchuan's side and asked softly.
"Two hours."
Jiang Chenchuan raised his head and replied seriously.
He had promised Nika's father that he would find Nika and bring Nika to him.
The reason why he accepted the relic separation surgery was because Ethan, after checking the condition of Nika, concluded that the fusion was not complete. After discussing with the medical department, he decided to perform surgery on Nika and artificially separate Nika from the relic. .
"I hope the operation is successful."
Reina folded her palms and prayed, and Chris silently guarded Reina's back. This is the duty of the Knights of the Pure Temple, and it is also his personal wish.
"Um."
Jiang Chenchuan responded softly.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere became very silent.
Reina turned her head and looked at Jiang Chenchuan's profile seriously.
He seemed to have always been like this, with his brows furrowed, and even the tear stains at the corners of his eyes felt a bit heavy. But even though nothing happened, it felt like he was carrying a weight of tens of millions of kilograms.
"Why is this so?"
Lena asked in her mind.
She just stared curiously, staring...
suddenly,
A double image appeared in front of my eyes.
At first, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes. Maybe I was too tired today and experienced a fright, which caused the hallucination.
She rubbed her eyes, then turned to look at Jiang Chenchuan. The double image was still there, but when she turned to look at Chris, she received a confused look from him.
"Huh?"
Rena made a confused sound.
When she turned her head to look at Jiang Chenchuan again, she saw the ghost slowly moving, turned her head, turned her face towards her, and showed a cheerful and weird smile.
The eyes opened in the darkness.
For a moment, Reina felt endless malice attacking her from all directions. Countless dry arms stretched out from the abyss and grabbed her ankle. The cold touch felt like it really happened.
A scream alerted Chris and Jiang Chenchuan.
"Rena, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Chenchuan stepped forward and asked with concern, leaving his ghost still leaning against the wall, looking at everything in front of him indifferently.
see it?
This is the price of awakening.
