Chapter 103: Is he going to die?
The two people had just experienced a life-and-death game and were both gasping for breath.
The morning light poured in from the window. The South Hospital was always cold and chilly, especially the nurses and doctors here, who were intimidating. But at this moment, the two of them leaned against each other in an awkward manner, looking a little funny.
Jian Yue said unhappily, "Don't worry about so many details at this time, Senior Sister."
The corners of Ji Qingya's mouth twitched, and her face showed a tired breath. Her voice was a little broken, but she did not forget to ask Jian Yue: "Why are you still calling me senior sister?"
Jian Yue said honestly: "But you don't like to be called mother-in-law."
Ji Qingya: “…”
Where on earth did her son find such a weirdo to piss her off? !
Seeing that she seemed to be suffocated by anger, Jian Yue finally comforted her: "Then...Aunt? You should stop being angry?"
Ji Qingya broke her defense and said, "Shut up!"
Jian Yue: “…”
From whom did the young master inherit his personality? He doesn’t usually seem to be so explosive.
Ji Qingya scolded, "I don't know what that kid sees in you. You're dishonest and restless, and you have more tricks than the other. How can you be worthy of him?"
No one cares.
Ji Qingya was intoxicated by the morning light outside and Jian Yue's talent. She was already a little furious. At this moment, her identity was exposed and she was provoked by Jian Yue twice. She broke down and asked, "Don't talk. Are you dumb?"
Jian Yue: "Didn't you tell me to shut up, Auntie, have you forgotten?"
Ji Qingya was so angry that she was hurt: "You did whatever I told you to do. I told you not to run away last night, did you listen?"
Jian Yue said, "You didn't say you were my mother-in-law at that time. But coming back to the point, aunt, since you said you wouldn't kill me, can you tell me the information of the other chip for the sake of our family now?"
Ji Qingya glared at him fiercely: "I just promised not to kill you, why should I help you."
"That's wrong, aunt." Jian Yue squatted down and reasoned with her: "If you help me, you are helping the young master. If you help the young master, you are helping yourself. Think about it carefully, I am actually helping you!"
Ji Qingya: “…”
There was a moment of blankness on her face.
The audience in the live broadcast room really laughed out loud when they saw this scene:
"No, this is the first time I've seen someone so good at fooling people."
"Butler Wang, you better have had a serious job before."
"I almost believe what you said. I want to help him!"
"No hahaha you guys, I doubt he could even unify the nightmare world if he wanted to be the boss."
Ji Qingya still had some common sense as a normal monster. She hesitated for a moment, then glared at Jian Yue and said, "Don't think I will believe you if you say that. You just want to use him to escape from here."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Aunt, if I really wanted to use him, then I should call him now and ask him to come over. Tell him that I helped him find his mother. He will definitely love me more. Then I can make a request. Wouldn't that be better?"
Ji Qingya looked at Jian Yue with a complicated expression. Jian Yue stood beside her bed. The morning sun slowly revealed its morning light. The warm yellow sunlight fell on his shoulders. He looked back at Ji Qingya and smiled: "Are you right, aunt?"
“…”
Ji Qingya was speechless.
"Aunt, you should know exactly what Leng Li wants to do." Jian Yue turned to look at her and said, "Young Master did all this for your reasons. He always told me that his mother was a great and kind scientific research doctor who selflessly helped those in need. Your death on Hope Island was a shadow that he would never get over. He wanted to destroy Hope Island, so you may have been his reason, too."
The entire triage desk was in complete silence.
Jian Yue said: "If there is really selfishness in this world, my selfishness is to hope that Leng Li can completely leave that shadow and live the life he wants. But as long as the sacred tree is there, as long as the island of hope is there, as long as the innate ability is there, he will never be free. Do you want to watch his life being ruined by this island? Because of your research results?"
These words seemed to hurt Ji Qingya's heart.
Ji Qingya was completely devastated after hearing this. She stood up excitedly and asked sternly, "What do you know?"
Jian Yue was slightly stunned.
There were footsteps heard not far away. It was morning, and the nurses who were changing shifts were coming. Ji Qingya was slightly stunned, then looked at Jian Yue with hatred, raised her hand, pulled Jian Yue and ran in another direction.
Her hands were really cold, as if she was holding a piece of ice, and did not look like the hands of a living person at all. Her strength was also very great, and she was almost dragging and pulling Jian Yue away forcefully, as if she was pulling some prey.
Jian Yue was pulled forward by her. The two of them walked through the corridor. Every room was closed tightly and no gaps could be seen. In the dim corridor, there were only the sounds of two people's footsteps. A cold breath came from Ji Qingya's body.
Turn again.
This is already the fifth floor.
A new staircase appeared in front of the two people, and Jian Yue asked, "Sixth floor?"
If I remember correctly, the rules of the South Hospital clearly stated that there was no sixth floor in the hospital. If you saw a staircase, you must not go up. So he definitely could not go up to the sixth floor!
Jian Yue said weakly, "Um, Aunt? Just send it here. I won't go up."
Ji Qingya ignored him and dragged him upstairs. The sixth floor was pitch black, like a man-eating beast with its bloody mouth agape. Before he even went up, Jian Yue felt a chilling sense of danger.
"Senior? Mother-in-law?" Jian Yue collapsed and said, "Oh my god, I still want to live!"
The audience in the live broadcast room were all happy to see this:
"Hahaha, anchor, are you scared sometimes?"
"Anchor: I am scared, please let me go"
"Stop making me laugh so hard. Why is it so exciting and thrilling for others to explore the sixth floor, but he is so funny?"
"Others were afraid of encountering ghosts, but he was dragged up by the ghosts."
Ji Qingya finally stopped, looked at Jian Yue with some displeasure, and said sternly: "You can't die!"
Only then was Jian Yue pulled up by her.
Ji Qingya's steps were heavy. When he reached the sixth floor, Jian Yue found that this place was completely different from other places. This was not a ward. It was connected in all directions with pipelines connecting all parties. Following his line of sight, he found that these pipelines were all connected to a huge tree! This was a tree with withered branches!
Jian Yue blurted out subconsciously: "Sacred tree?"
Isn’t the sacred tree in the north? How come it is in the hospital on the sixth floor in the south?
Ji Qingya stood in the corridor, looked at the sacred tree with cold eyes and said: "Yes, this is the sacred tree."
Jian Yue asked: "Has the sacred tree really withered?"
Ji Qingya glanced at Jian Yue and said, "Didn't you break off a branch yourself and leave? You should know the answer better than me."
Jian Yue: “…”
No, wasn’t he doing it secretly? How come the whole world knew about it?
Do these people respect other people's privacy?
Covering up his inner complaints, Jian Yue said, "So, the sacred tree in the north is fake?"
Ji Qingya sneered and said, "Of course not."
Jian Yue was stunned.
"The one in the north is also a sacred tree, but it is only a part of the trunk." Ji Qingya said: "The one here is the other part."
Jian Yue was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Are you still researching it now?"
In the research room not far away, glass bottles of different sizes were filled with different liquids, which looked very much like the juice of the sacred tree. The cold glass bottles reflected different lights, and they looked beautiful at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could smell a faint fragrance, which was exactly the same as the fragrance of the maple forest, which made Jian Yue feel nauseous.
Ji Qingya stood beside him and said, "The research has been completed long ago. The branches of the sacred tree are left here only to make people who stray in think that the sacred tree sap here is really from the sacred tree."
Jian Yue widened his eyes. When the truth was too obvious in front of him, people could only sigh that their imagination was too limited. They originally thought that the juice of the sacred tree would at most contain a little water, but they didn't expect that it had nothing to do with the sacred tree.
"The juice of the sacred tree is just a substance left by the remnant branches of the sacred tree in its early years. Later, the remnant branches no longer had any substance. The topic my teachers and I are responsible for researching is how to replicate this substance. The king hopes that we can research this mysterious substance that brings talents from the sacred tree. Through our abilities, we can allow people all over the planet to still have talents even without the sacred tree."
Jian Yue said thoughtfully: "Did your research succeed? That's what people outside say anyway."
Ji Qingya smiled bitterly. She looked at the glass with cold and dead eyes and said, "The power of the sacred tree cannot be replicated. How can it be researched? The sacred tree is the tree of life. Its energy comes from the heavens and the earth. It is not something that technology can create out of thin air. If you want to continue to have such power, you must pay a price."
Jian Yue thought about the sap of the sacred tree that was still being used, and the things buried under the large maple forest.
The beautiful maple forest buried countless lives that would never see the light of day again. Jian Yue's voice was icy cold: "Is the study of talent so important to you?"
Ji Qingya's eyes became more relaxed as she watched all this. She said, "The teacher said that sometimes it is worth making some sacrifices for the survival of the planet."
Jian Yue said without hesitation: "What bullshit, no one deserves to be sacrificed. The sacred tree was born to save the world. It has existed for a million years. Isn't that enough for your planet to develop? Your teacher is just taking other people's lives for the sake of others. Do you think you are great with your bandit logic?"
Ji Qingya had never been scolded like this before.
She looked at Jian Yue in a daze, and then finally smiled for the first time. She said, "Do you know what my talent is?"
Jian Yue glanced at her sideways: "Not a shadow?"
Ji Qingya shook her head and said, "My innate ability is that I can communicate with souls."
Jian Yue was a little shocked. Isn't this spiritualism?
Ji Qingya said: "When I was very young, I was studying on Hope Island. One year, I got lost and saw the sacred tree. It was really beautiful. At that time, I suddenly saw its soul, which was beautiful white. It told me that it was leaving. It had lived for millions of years and felt very lonely and boring. Its life had come to an end, so it was leaving."
If Jian Yue hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have thought that Ji Qingya was fooling him again. However, when he looked at Ji Qingya, Ji Qingya's eyes were full of seriousness.
Ji Qingya continued, "I never saw the sacred tree again until one year later, when I returned to Hope Island to save a student. At that time, I was already ten months pregnant. I finally saw the sacred tree again, and it said it was leaving. I felt very sad at the time, so I asked it if it was willing to see the world in a different way."
Jian Yue was shocked. He said, "You mean..."
He thought of many possibilities.
I didn't expect this to be possible.
Leng Li is the reincarnation of the sacred tree. He is the lonely savior sacred tree.
Ji Qingya nodded, with a nostalgic look on her face. Looking at the dry branches of the sacred tree not far away, she said, "This is my secret. I dare not tell anyone until the child is born. From the first moment I saw him, he was wrapped in white light, a white light of the soul that only I could see."
Jian Yue finally understood a little more. He asked, "Which scientific research team did you join later?"
"Yeah." Ji Qingya said: "Leng Li was predicted to have a bad health when he was born and might die early. I was very scared and worried. I wanted to revive the sacred tree and I wanted my child to have eternal life. What have I done wrong!"
When she said this, her tone was calm, but Jian Yue could still see some madness on her face.
If the obsession is too strong, you will become possessed.
Jian Yue said: "Have you found a way?"
Ji Qingya's expression returned to normal. She slowly walked to the center of the room, looked at the branches of the sacred tree in front of her and said, "Only by completely destroying the control of the entire island over the sacred tree, and after the sacred tree disappears, all the innate abilities will also disappear. When Leng Li's innate abilities are gone, he can get rid of all the shackles and will not be affected by the sacred tree's body anymore."
Jian Yue subconsciously said: "Then why don't you find another chip and turn on the self-destruct device?"
Ji Qingya turned to look at Jian Yue, her eyes calm and she said, "One of the chips in the self-destruction device of the sacred tree is a mechanical chip that can open the door outside, and there is a chip outside."
Jian Yue and her looked into each other's eyes. He didn't say anything, and Ji Qingya didn't say anything either. The two stood face to face, and Ji Qingya's expression became more and more solemn. She said, "It's Leng Li."
"The core of Hope Island is built with the main trunk of the sacred tree. The core energy of the sacred tree is stored there and is used to drive the self-destruction device. Only Leng Li's innate ability transformed into nuclear driving force can open it." Ji Qingya said.
Jian Yue didn't want to listen to this kind of nonsense, so he asked directly: "Is it dangerous?"
Ji Qingya said without hesitation: "Yes, when the core energy merges with Leng Li's energy, the core ability of the sacred tree will begin to absorb external energy to become the energy of the entire nuclear driving force. Leng Li is likely to... die."
Jian Yue already understood completely.
He finally understood why Ji Qingya had stayed here for so long and had not gotten the second chip. Even if she knew where the first chip was, there was nothing she could do.
The audience in the live broadcast room also went crazy:
"ah?"
"Leng Li is the last chip?"
"I was wondering why no one could clear Hope Island completely!"
"Who would have thought that Leng Li was the last chip!"
"In other dungeons, players have no chance to come into contact with Leng Li!"
"Don't even mention it. For the other copies of Hope Island, let alone finding the second piece, we can't even find the first piece."
"Because Qin Yu always jumps off the building at the beginning of the dungeon!"
"Will I ever see someone clear the Hope Island dungeon in my lifetime?"
The new viewers in the live broadcast room were talking about it.
For these new viewers, of course the best way to clear the copy is to know. However, for the old viewers, who have watched the whole story from beginning to end and already fully understand Jian Yue’s situation, they were much more silent.
There is no doubt that Butler Wang is really lucky, but now, there is no doubt that this result is probably the most difficult for Butler Wang to accept.
Jian Yue stood there for a moment, and finally asked, "Why did you merge your soul and body with that of your senior sister? Did Ji Qingya tell you something when she came to you?"
This question is too sharp.
Even some viewers overlooked this point.
Ji Qingya was stunned. She sighed and said with a look of pain on her face: "Back then, I returned to this island because the king was cleaning up the last batch of scientific researchers who had mastered the core secrets. He did not allow anyone else to know the method of destroying the sacred tree because he wanted to continue this cruel method. If we did not come back, he would attack our family. I had no choice but to come back. I was seriously injured and met Ji Qingya when I was about to die."
Jian Yue said: "Ji Qingya saved you."
Because Ji Qingya's talent can share the pain of others.
She nodded and said, "Yes, at that time she and a girl named Liu Shuangshuang were also seriously injured. They were two brave girls. They found me. After learning the secret of the sacred tree, I hoped that the two children could escape from here as soon as possible, but they refused. They said that they would not live long anyway, and hoped that I could survive and put an end to it all."
When she said this, a look of pain appeared on her face, and even her cold eyes were no longer so dead. Jian Yue seemed to be able to see the despair at that time.
Perhaps Ji Qingya and Liu Shuangshuang were also in this despair back then.
Or more.
In fact, both of them are full of hope because they see hope in others.
The system panel popped up: "The main quest storyline has been unlocked to 95%, Ji Qingya's last wish has been unlocked, the host can leave the dungeon after completing the quest."
Below this panel.
The system refreshed another message: "
Limited time mission: [Destroy the sacred tree]
Mission details: Please complete the mission of destroying the sacred tree within half a month."
Jian Yue quietly looked at the tasks that were refreshed on the panel. The progress of the tasks was 95%. If it were in the past, he would have been ecstatic, but now, his heart was calm.
He could actually feel the system's urgency.
It was afraid that he wouldn't do the task well, so it immediately popped up a limited-time task, silently urging him and also like a silent threat, threatening him that if he didn't complete the last task well, he would never be able to leave this copy.
Jian Yue looked at the panel and smiled with a hint of sarcasm, but there was no smile in his eyes behind his glasses.
"You don't have to call me senior anymore." The nurse next to him said, "Just call me Xun. That was my old name."
Jian Yue looked at her and said, "What would happen if the sacred tree had not been destroyed?"
Xun said, "If the sacred tree is not destroyed, there will only be batches of people sent to the island. In addition, the king intends to cooperate with other planets and will send our gifted people to other planets to solve interplanetary tasks. These are very dangerous jobs, and I'm afraid all the first-year students will have to go."
Jane Yue understood what she meant.
By then, more people will be injured and sacrificed.
Only by destroying the sacred tree can all this be ended. Only by destroying the sacred tree can everyone leave here and live a good life.
Jian Yue asked: "How long will it take for this to be implemented?"
"At the latest, half a month later." Xun looked out the window not far away and said sarcastically, "The king is not a kind person."
The sacred tree has brought huge benefits to the planet, and he will never let it go.
Jian Yue looked at the entire laboratory quietly without saying anything for a long time. His face was very calm, so calm that it seemed as if he was really just here for a visit. He was not in the forbidden sixth floor, but in an ordinary laboratory.
The audience in the live broadcast room also sighed a little:
"The Hope Island dungeon is too difficult."
“This copy really should be rated S+.”
"Butler Wang has no choice but to do this mission. If he doesn't do it, too many people will die."
"Why does it feel like everyone is forcing him?"
Jian Yue looked at Xun and said, "What do you think?"
Xun's face showed some coldness. After so many years in this cannibalistic place, her obsession had driven her a little crazy. She said, "I can't let him go to die! In this world, no one knows this secret except me and you. Don't you love him? Just let him take you away from here!"
Jian Yue looked at her quietly and said slowly, "Ji Qingya and Liu Shuangshuang sacrificed their lives to save you, Auntie. Many students in Class 2, even Wang Yan and others, also used their lives to protect the first chip. Each of them suffered pain and torture. The chip is their only hope. You are the only person in the world who knows this secret. If even you don't save them, in the future, perhaps countless people will have to live in pain."
Xun was stunned. How could she not know? It was because she knew that she felt pain. She looked at Jian Yue and said, "Are you going to let him die?"
The quiet room.
Jian Yue leaned against the table, rubbed his aching and numb arm, and said calmly: "There is no absolute dead end in this world. Don't worry, if there is someone in this world who wants him to live the most, that person must be me. I have already lost him once, and I will not let the same thing happen a second time."
He couldn't bear to watch his Xiaoyu die again.
The more Jane thought about it.
He's really going to go crazy.
