"Beep... beep... beep..."
The instruments in the ward followed the changes in the indicator lights and made regular sounds, while the data currently displayed on the screen also slowly flashed across, indicating that the patient's current condition was stable.
A burst of pain came from all directions, causing Valk to wake up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the light blue ceiling above his head, and then tried to sit up, but the pain in his waist and abdomen made him give up the idea for the time being. .
"Lie down first, don't try to use force." A slightly younger voice came from the side, and Valk turned his eyes to the side.
A young-looking male doctor was standing beside him, carefully observing the data on the instrument, and holding an electronic recording board in his hand to write down some key information.
After observing and recording, he put away the record board and approached to ask.
"This is the hospital department of Edes Academy. How do you feel now?" He revealed the sage silver nameplate on his white coat.
Nameplate: Patrick Francati, Light Feather Sequence 6, Senior Recovery Attending Physician
As the best doctor in Edes Academy, even though he has been responsible for the physical examination of many students, Valk's physical fitness is extremely rare and strong.
"My whole body aches, especially my waist and abdomen." Valk honestly said his feelings.
"Of course, this is the first time I've seen a brave young man like you who can directly resist the puncture of a lightsaber." Partridge had a funny look on his face.
"Remember, if you see a dangerous weapon like a lightsaber in the future, stay away. It's best to kill them remotely."
"Is there no way to use the lightsaber in close combat?" Valk asked in confusion.
"Of course there are, and there are many ways to do it, but I don't recommend it."
"The most common thing is to wear high-strength armor. However, it generally requires armor two levels higher than a lightsaber to effectively withstand the most powerful punctures."
"For example, some members of the agency are equipped with golden-level lightsabers, which require military-grade crystal-level mechas to completely ignore their damage."
"Most people cannot do this under such conditions. In reality, it is more common to rely on dodge and confrontation with similar people."
"After all, the person holding the lightsaber is a person, and a person will have flaws, such as his moves, his speed, his angle, etc."
"In addition, the lightsaber is also a relatively crude weapon and consumes a lot of energy. Even a Sequence 5 transcendent can only fight for a few minutes using a rushing lightsaber. His magic power is spent on this, and he is naturally weak in other aspects. If you can find a flaw or use other advantages to make up for it, you can easily defeat the opponent."
"In the end, it's a fight between the same kind. Since the other party uses lightsabers, there's no reason why we don't have to, right? As long as you play better, of course you can completely torture the other party."
"These are the three common countermeasures. The best strategy is to use excellent armor to resist, the middle strategy is to rely on skills to attack his weak points, and the worst strategy is to fight against the same kind, and life and death are determined by the lightsaber."
"I understand, thank you, teacher." Valk said thoughtfully, seeming to really listen.
Seeing that he was still interested in studying, Partridge shook his head. He didn't know whether to praise him or to say that he had a good attitude.
"You should take good care of your injuries first. Don't be so anxious about studying. By the way, I'll help you order whatever you want to eat for lunch today."
"What to eat, isn't it usually the doctor's order?" Valk was a little surprised. He had been to the hospital many times before, and every time the doctor told him what to eat and what not to eat.
"That's what quacks do. They just let their patients eat fixed meals to save time and avoid trouble."
"But for me, I think it's more helpful for you to eat something you like and stay in a good mood. As long as you don't eat too much, I think it's OK."
"I understand, then order me a honey chicken drumstick set."
"Oh, this is quite common. Honey and meat are also mild, just perfect for replenishing the body. It seems you are quite skilled." The doctor picked up his personal terminal and quickly ordered food, then put it aside.
"While you are waiting for lunch to be delivered, can you tell me what happened at that time? Although I am currently a doctor, I am also a teacher in the academy. I would like to know the specific cause and process."
"The situation is like this..." Valk began to tell what happened that day, and many dusty memories came to mind.
…
Ten years ago, the black strontium suburb of North Nine District.
He was awakened by the howling of the cold, the snow was falling, and the sky was always gray.
After breaking away from the old blanket on his body, Valk looked around and found that he was in an abandoned garbage dump. After standing up for a while, he looked at his hands that were red and swollen from the cold, feeling a little helpless and sad.
'Abandoned again...'
This is not the first time. He has never seen his father. After his mother took him for a while when he was a child, she disliked him for dragging her down and left with another man.
Then who adopted him? It was probably his grandfather. The stooped old man fed him simple food and finally fed him.
However, my grandfather also lives a difficult life, and he cannot always eat well. Hungry always accompanies life.
He followed the old man and lived curled up in a small house in the suburbs. The old man usually made a living by picking up garbage and raised him for a few years. Then his body became increasingly difficult to move due to aging, so he entrusted him to one of his nephews. , and later died of old age and illness in the house.
After the death of the old man, the forty-year-old 'nephew' family became increasingly unable to bear the child who looked like a strange beast. On a winter night, after feeding him sleeping pills, they threw him into dozens of Outskirts kilometers away.
Valk, who had already noticed that the family disliked him, was not surprised. He was just thinking about what food he could get today.
He stood up wearing an old blanket and walked around the countryside in search of things, turning over various snow-covered ruins in search of useful things. Later, he began to wear more and more things on his body. Although it was a lot heavier, at least it was not heavy. So cold.
After walking aimlessly along the road for a long time, he discovered a red pavilion on the side of the road. The pavilion stood alone in the wilderness, with intact network terminals and communication equipment inside.
He tried to open the pavilion, but was only denied.
[Identity monitoring failed, no resident identity chip found, please enter your federal resident code for verification...]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
[Input error, data format does not match, please re-enter]
…
After several attempts, he walked away frustrated, occasionally turning his head to look at the intact pavilion in the wilderness.
Many years later, he learned that as long as the identity verification was passed, he could enter the pavilion, feel the warmth, no longer be disturbed by the cold wind, obtain basic starch protein emergency food, and contact the autonomous hovering car to go to places where humans gather. City.
But none of this had anything to do with him at that time, and he could only continue to wander in the wilderness.
…
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally found a small town where humans gathered. There were an estimated fifty households in the town, as well as small shops and supermarkets.
He tried to get closer and was quickly spotted by surveillance cameras around the town, and then chased away by the self-discipline unit.
Although these T6 level self-discipline units have no law enforcement power and cannot use violence against humans, they will emit strong alarms to attract the attention of the residents of the town, which often forces them to flee.
In this way, it was not until two days later that he found the blind spot of surveillance around the town, sneaked in at night, and found some food.
He was so happy to finally survive and eat those semi-rotten foods. That experience was something he would never forget.
He secretly lurked in this town for two days, but was still discovered by the townspeople. Fortunately, these townspeople only drove him away and did not send him to the security agency. They probably thought it was troublesome.
After leaving that small town, he started wandering again, walking around like this until one day he finally passed out in the wild, his body gradually became colder, and all his thoughts slowly stopped.
