"It's Ning Jiayi——"
This was the first sentence Su Liang said to Lu Taipan after he woke up.
It was already the second day after Su Liang emerged from the memory of "Wuming". When he opened his eyes on the hospital bed, he was already lying in the top medical cabin of the Snake Cave's medical center.
In the accidental mental connection with "Nameless", he did not suffer much substantial damage, which was confirmed by both the mechanical examination and the medical officers of the Snake Cave.
However, the special impact on mental power still caused Su Liang to react strongly.
Reality and the girl's memories continued to entangle, and Su Liang could feel his temples throbbing with pain. He had clearly not received any physical damage, but when he raised his hand, he could still clearly feel the cold fixing device piercing his flesh and bones, nailing him to the metal frame like a specimen, and the intense pain.
calm--
I am already awake.
Su Liang kept repeating this to himself in his heart.
He is not "Nameless", he just mistakenly broke into the girl's past memories.
But no matter how clear-headed he was, his body simply wouldn't obey him.
He was shaking, his teeth were chattering, and his body was twitching.
He tried to take a deep breath to calm himself, but the extreme fear and pain that remained in his spiritual world still controlled his body. He kept sobbing uncontrollably, and his lungs were so constricted that it was extremely difficult for him to breathe smoothly.
"Don't be afraid, you're back, I'm here."
Lu Taipan hugged Su Liang tightly.
He kept repeating it in the boy's ear very gently, even though just a few hours ago, when Su Liang hadn't woken up yet, the man's aura was violent and cold, so terrifying that even Xue Yinhuan and Black Mamba couldn't get close to him.
There was a hint of darkness in Alpha's eyes. In the past, this man could command the battle with full energy even if he didn't sleep for several days. However, in the night after Su Liang fell into a coma, he became extremely haggard due to tremendous pressure and fear.
But in front of Su Liang, his voice was low and soft, and he was still the powerful and reliable master of the snake cave.
The ice-cold pheromones delicately enveloped the young man, like cold tongues of fire slowly seeping into his skin, devouring and burning away his fear and terror bit by bit.
Su Liang's tense body finally relaxed a little slowly. Lu Taipan's existence was an extremely powerful anchor point, which stabilized his confused mind in the real world.
It took Su Liang a long time to calm down, and he only achieved this calmness by forcibly controlling himself.
He had to stick closely to Lu Taipan, absorbing the pheromones from the man beside him and feeling the Alpha's huge and powerful mental power in order to maintain basic mental functioning.
The boy's face was pale and his eyes were wandering when he spoke. He looked very bad and very pitiful, but no one would blame him for this.
Because to some extent, Su Liang personally experienced the past of "Wuming", the high-level Omega who was taken away by the "farm".
When Su Liang rescued those Omegas from Area 48, he felt that what they had experienced on the "farm" was comparable to purgatory.
It was not until he learned from the mental fragments what high-level Omegas would encounter that he realized that perhaps, not being at a high level could be a blessing in disguise for those Omegas.
Yes, unlike those low-level Omegas, high-level Omegas will not give birth to children continuously like livestock to supply the "farm" with newborn fetuses, but their experience is actually more miserable.
Everything they do is to feed the information glands on the back of their necks.
In order to make the information glands develop better, the "farm" will even continuously inject them with various drugs. It doesn't matter even if those drugs will produce various serious side effects. As long as they can be guaranteed to survive before differentiation, no one will care about their lifespan because they will be destroyed after their information glands are dug out.
In the eyes of the operators of the "farm", these Omegas are not so much human beings as they are just culture media for cultivating information glands.
The drugs used to catalyze the differentiation of information glands will destroy their nervous system. Their perception will become abnormally sharp and their bodies will also be abnormally sensitive. This means that for these Omegas, there is something screaming in their ears all the time. Even if it is just the hum of the life support system, it is a huge noise for them. When they breathe, the cold temperature of the nutrient solution is like a knife cutting their trachea, and the flowing liquid poured into their throats is even hotter than magma, as if it can corrode their internal organs.
Because of this, the "farms" keep them in tiny petri dishes out of fear that they might hurt themselves.
In the later stages, when that kind of "drug" was injected into their bodies, in order to prevent them from tearing out all life-sustaining tubes when struggling, the "farm" would even perform surgery to cut off their hands and feet.
It's all just for the information gland.
"I... I was able to... keep my body... No, 'Wuming' was able to keep his entire body just because Ning Jiayi felt that the 'culture medium' without hands and feet was too ugly and did not conform to his aesthetic taste."
After carefully telling Lu Taipan and the recorder Viper everything he saw in the "Nameless" memory fragments, Su Liang finally couldn't control his emotional breakdown.
"He said...he prefers a prettier donor."
Su Liang couldn't help but retching.
In order to maintain the activity of the gland, the donor must be awake throughout the process of gland removal. They will feel as if they are being cut open alive and having parts of their organs removed. Then, while still conscious, they are carefully processed into...raw materials.
A special potion used to increase levels and boost mental strength. It comes from their corpses.
And he has seen such things countless times from the perspective of "nameless". "Wuming" saw with his own eyes his companions being taken away, experimented on, and then made into drugs that were injected into his body.
Su Liang finally understood why "Wuming" would go completely crazy every time he was awakened. No one could have survived that and still remain sane.
Their greatest gift is complete and utter madness.
The long night finally passed.
After a long time, Su Liang finally closed his eyes under the effect of the sedative.
The venomous snake who was in charge of recording the details didn't even dare to look up at Lu Taipan's expression. Even under the influence of numerous restraints and isolation devices, the leaked mental power was still so terrifying that it made people's knees weak and breathing difficult.
Soon, the medical officer, Viper, and even the artificial intelligence quickly evacuated the ward.
Only Lu Taipan and Su Liang were left alone.
Even the air in the ward seemed cold and had a heavy weight to it.
Lu Taipan held Su Liang tightly in his arms. After the latter fell asleep, he finally didn't have to pretend anymore. He clenched his teeth tightly and could smell a faint bloody and rusty taste in his throat.
"Xiaoliang."
He kept gently kissing the boy's forehead and between his eyebrows, feeling the pain that permeated his soul as it was cut by extreme love and anger.
His boy had suffered unspeakable torture in his spiritual world. Even after finally falling into a deep sleep with the help of tranquilizers, his beautiful face was still filled with anxiety and panic.
Her delicate eyebrows were still tightly furrowed, and there were still traces of wet tears at the corners of her eyes.
Perhaps in his dreams, he would dream about the things that "Wuming" had experienced - and that girl had completely collapsed because of those experiences, her spiritual sea shattered, and she had completely fallen into madness.
And Su Liang was still trying hard to hold on.
Lu Taipan looked at Su Liang and felt a huge sense of frustration for the first time in his life.
He had no way to ease Su Liang's pain, nor could he relieve his mental confusion.
At this moment, Lu Taipan even hoped that he could be an Omega and Su Liang could be an Alpha. If that were the case, at least he could help Su Liang relax by sorting out his mind.
There was a slight flicker on the communicator.
The flashing of the communicator meant that someone was looking for him. The only person who dared to look for him at this time was the medical officer.
The Lord of the Snake Cave knew that it must be related to Su Liang's current condition, which made him sigh and let go of Su Liang from his arms with great difficulty.
However, before Lu Taipan could leave the bed, he felt someone grabbing his sleeve tightly.
The sleeping Omega was like a drowning man clinging to the only piece of driftwood, with tears in the corners of his eyes, trembling as he tried to retain the breath of his Alpha.
The Lord of the Snake Cave never knew that Su Liang’s sleeping face could make him so heartbroken.
"Be good, I'll be right back."
Knowing that Su Liang couldn't hear him, Lu Taipan still leaned over and whispered in the boy's ear.
He took off his uniform, carefully folded it into a thick piece, and stuffed it into Su Liang's arms.
He watched Su Liang put his face close to his uniform, took a deep breath, and then his breathing returned to normal.
Then, Lu Taipan left the ward with a gloomy face.
He saw Medical Officer Beta at the door of the ward.
The older medical officer's expression was not much better than Lu Taipan's. He had been taking care of Su Liang's body, fearing that something might happen to the young man. He had just relaxed for a few days when he found out that his patient was sent back to him in a coma. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the medical officer to control his emotions even in front of the Lord of the Snake Cave.
Especially after he clearly understood what Su Liang had experienced, he felt even more distressed.
"Before Master Su Liang, there has never been a similar case in the records. Master Su Liang's spiritual power directly connected to the completely shattered spiritual sea of 'Wu Ming' and repaired it. However, during the repair process, Master Su Liang himself was also swept up in the shattered consciousness of 'Wu Ming' and passively resonated with 'Wu Ming'."
The medical officer pinched the bridge of his nose, but couldn't help but sigh again.
His tone was heavy.
"It would be fine if it was just a normal mental resonance, but... according to the description of the ancient Leia people, 'Xima' can directly peek into another person's heart and drill into their mind to personally experience everything that mortals have experienced before." The medical officer raised his eyes and looked at the Lord of the Snake Cave. "What Master Su Liang has experienced may be worse than we thought. He has obviously suffered mental trauma. But his level is too high. The instruments and drugs we currently have may not work on him, especially since Master Su Liang is already in the late stage of differentiation. During this period, his spiritual sea is originally in an unstable state..."
Lu Taipan interrupted the medical officer gloomily and said, "Just tell me if there is any way to make him feel better."
Finally, he added: "Don't worry about his differentiation or whether he is still a high-level OMega, he...he is very uncomfortable."
Facing the older medical officer, the Lord of the Snake Cave couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness in his tone at the end of his words.
"But I can't help him at all."
The medical officer was silent.
"If Su Liang has successfully differentiated, the intense mental shock during the marking should be able to offset the negative memories left by the mental resonance. And after the marking is successful, the link between you and him can also rebuild his mental sea barrier, allowing him to recover quickly."
Lu Taipan frowned even more tightly: "He hasn't fully grown yet!"
He emphasized.
"That's right," the medical officer regained his composure, "Master Su Liang has indeed not yet completely differentiated, but..."
The older Beta hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the Lord of the Snake Cave was in even more precarious sanity, the medical officer still gave his advice with worry.
"If you can control yourself from making the final mark on Master Su Liang, then you can try to release the maximum amount of pheromones to him."
"Maximum pheromone release?"
Lu Taipan's eyes narrowed slightly.
The medical officer's face looked very gloomy.
But he still braced himself in front of the snake master: "Yes, you are an Alpha, and a very compatible Alpha with him. Theoretically, your pheromones can indeed alleviate his problem. However, I need to emphasize that you must not really mark him. Master Su Liang's situation is too special. His brood sac is not fully developed. If it is formed, an Alpha of your level will really hurt him!"
Lu Taipan fell silent.
The medical officer's expression was extremely serious: "Excuse me, Master Snake, given your previous... actions, I personally think that doing this will be a very painful test for you. The attraction between high-level AOs is very strong, and you need to overcome your most instinctive impulses. If you are not sure about this, we can think of other ways to alleviate Master Su Liang's mental problems-"
"unnecessary."
Lu Taipan responded calmly.
The medical officer was startled.
"As long as I can make him feel better, that's enough."
The Lord of the Serpent Cave whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, a panicked call from a young man came from the ward behind him.
"Mr. Mi? Where are you?"
The boy, who was usually gentle and steady, had a little sob in his voice just because of Lu Taipan's temporary absence.
Almost at the same time as he heard the call, Lu Taipan quickly returned to the ward under the extremely worried gaze of the medical officer.
The metal door slowly closed.
The medical officer stood outside the ward for a long time before leaving with a complicated expression.
He really couldn't be sure whether the advice he had just given was correct for Su Liang and Lu Taipan.
