Chapter 80 Destiny Node

"…No."

“…”

The silent isolated basement was suddenly filled with intermittent groans. Shi Cunjin was lying on the bed, neither awake nor asleep, and from time to time he uttered hoarse murmurs, sometimes two muffled sounds, sometimes trembling heavy breaths, and sometimes a few broken words rolled out of his mouth.

"…mistaken…."

"Book…"

“No… stop…”

"…publish…"

The system immediately forgot everything about the Star Network. It paid close attention to Teacher Shi and asked uncertainly, "Teacher Shi? Teacher Shi, are you awake?"

Shi Cunjin did not respond.

The system is hidden in a small corner of the host's brain, and the two sides do not share the same thoughts. The system detects Shi Cunjin's mental and physical conditions by blood pressure, nerve reactions, and breathing changes. But now Shi Cunjin is in a metamorphosis cycle, all physiological reactions are chaotic and strong, and the blood flow rate is beyond normal. Once Shi Cunjin is silent, the system will immediately be unable to determine the host's condition.

Shi Cunjin closed his eyes and muttered fragments of words. The system tried to sort them into different sentences, but could not put together any meaningful commands.

It thought for a while, and then injected two more concentrated growth fluids into Teacher Shi. It was a little worried that it might have slowed down the growth rate and polished the bones carefully, which caused the pain to increase, causing Teacher Shi, who should have entered a deep sleep period, to be in a strange state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

"Books...books..."

“…No…No…”

The system listened to Teacher Shi's intermittent murmurs. Even though it knew that Teacher Shi could not receive any external responses, it assured Teacher Shi: "Don't worry! Teacher Shi! I am executing your orders! I did not do any unnecessary actions this time! Everything is moving forward steadily according to your plan! Please sleep peacefully!"

Shi Cunjin was breathing heavily, his eyeballs were trembling under his eyelids, and he couldn't open them. The system was injected with enough concentrated nutrient solution for growth, and his body continued to develop. Gradually, Shi Cunjin fell into a deep sleep again, isolated from reality, and his trembling and struggling body calmed down.

The system monitored the teacher's vital signs until they returned to normal, so it safely switched back to the Star Network. This time it was careful not to turn on a full scan. The A567 message box was still showing red dots, as fast as a machine gun sweep, 99+ in five minutes.

The system ignored the matter and returned to the live broadcast room to start seeding words.

@Fite stays tonight:

[…

…

Joshua had an excellent physical condition and the anesthesia was quickly metabolized. He only lay on the operating table for 30 minutes before regaining consciousness.

As he regained consciousness, Joshua was surprised to see me.

I still remember his expression at that time.

That was the first time I saw an expression on Joshua that matched his 19-year-old age.

His eyes straightened, his mouth opened slightly, and his lips moved repeatedly, as if thousands of words were broken into pieces, and finally he asked uncertainly:

Milan?

I didn't say anything.

It's not a tactic of playing hard to get or controlling one's mind. I just really find it difficult to quickly find the right phrase to respond.

The first half of my life was made up of decisiveness and efficiency. I am a stranger to "hesitation". It has been a long time since I hesitated for anything in my life.

So, my only response at the time was a soft "hmm".

Joshua was about to sit up. His injuries were not serious in the eyes of a military doctor of my level. He was a privileged species, young, and had an incredibly strong recovery ability. The anesthetic that would make higher species sleep for 2 hours was metabolized completely in him in 30 minutes.

Everything should be back to normal for him, and he should be able to get off the operating table, re-equip himself, and go on his mission immediately.

After hearing my voice, he lay back down.

His behavior puzzled me at the time, but I didn't show it.

He lay back and tilted his head to look at me. Unlike the previous times we met, he did not avoid eye contact. Instead, he exposed his entire face to my sight and stared at me without blinking.

Suddenly he said, you haven't been here for a long time.

I'm not stupid, and within a second I realized his situation.

Joshua thought of it all as a double lucid dream brought on by the effects of anesthesia.

The special anesthesia used for higher species will occasionally produce this effect. The higher species have too strong recovery and metabolism, and sometimes the medical department needs to add safe medical hallucinogenic drugs to the anesthetics of individual races. If these higher A-level species with terrifyingly strong recovery suddenly wake up in the middle of an operation, they will attack the doctor because they feel dangerous because the doctor is operating on their body and they are unconscious.

The hallucinogenic effect is to make them unable to distinguish between reality and wakefulness, which can buy more time for slow doctors.

I am not one of those doctors. I do not need hallucinogenic anesthesia to prolong my surgical operation time.

I didn't give Joshua any hallucinogenic anesthesia, but he still thought he was in a lucid dream.

He looked at me and began to speak.

The attitude is dependent and nagging in a way that gives me goosebumps.

He was like a young student studying abroad, constantly reporting to me the major events that had taken place in the past year.

From his description, I got to know the Capital Alliance, the Protection Tribunal, and the divided and collapsed legion system.

But in fact, Joshua's narrative was confusing and the topic jumped a lot. It was only after I slowly sorted out my notes that I was able to piece together the broken future in his words.

He had no idea that what he said was illogical.

I have been listening quietly.

Joshua ended by noting that he was promoted to major general this year.

He said, "I succeeded in becoming a major general this year, Milan. Earlier than any other time, they are all afraid of me and obey me very much. But I always remember the details of time wrong, and sometimes I will miss or be late when leading troops to fight. I can't rest. Once I rest, they will question me."

"But it doesn't matter. I've been taking concentrated growth nutrient solution recently, and I'm growing fast. My bones and scales are all formed. I'll drive away those who don't listen to me and oppose me, and then take the remaining soldiers and branch legions to fight in better battlefields, win the battles, and bring back the best star energy crude oil. Those insects who hate me will regret it."

"I have now bought a small star region. The autonomy is completely mine. The habitable planet has begun to operate normally. It is very safe there. I have also hidden the coordinates!"

He was showing off his handling skills.

This is a very childish approach.

But as long as Joshua is strong enough, that is the most effective.

As he said these words, he kept looking at me, and in the end he seemed to be asking for my opinion, or as if he was praying to me.

Joshua said, “After I am promoted to major general, I will go to the Second Army to find you.”

He looked at me and said, "Milan, I will definitely make it in time this time."

I looked at him and suddenly asked, "What about your family and friends? Don't you care about them?"

Joshua was stunned. He blinked and murmured: This is the first time you speak to me.

His subsequent answer was very honest, so honest that it made me unable to sleep or eat.

Joshua said, “I cared about them, but I didn’t recognize them.”

He said, "Milan, I can no longer distinguish between my parents and my brother after my first metamorphosis. Their faces have dissolved in my memory."

He told me honestly, gently and confusedly, Milan, I was afraid to be with them, it made me look abnormal.

At that moment, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

I can't imagine how he managed to survive all that time.

At that time, I immediately wanted to ask, why are you so persistent in finding me?

I have nothing to do with you. Wouldn't your relatives be able to help you better?

I was indeed extremely confused at the time. Admittedly, I was touched by his sincere and warm heart, but I still felt that something was wrong.

As a man of such talent, he could have successfully proposed to any of the high-ranking officials at that time as long as he was willing to take the initiative to approach them.

Why does he insist on sticking to me?

But I didn't have time to ask this question.

Someone is coming from outside.

At that time, the Ninth Base was a temporary camp, and all the infrastructure was large tents with poor sound insulation.

I heard the familiar military doctor's scolding, my students' frantic admonitions, and the noisy quarrels of other female soldiers.

These sounds come in bursts, like a storm, and gradually approach from far away within a few seconds.

Joshua had been looking at me, but his brows slowly furrowed. Apparently, he had heard the noise, too, and confusion showed on his face.

Because I was standing next to the operating table and he was lying on it, I kept thinking that it was all a dream.

Then, a female officer from the First Army who looked almost exactly like Joshua, with only a different eye color, opened the tent curtain. Her eyes were filled with arrogance and hostility. The first thing she did when she came in was to look me up and down. She said contemptuously to the female officer from the Second Army, Wasp, who was standing next to her, "Is this the great military doctor who can slap the god of death in the face that you are talking about?"

The female soldier wasn't even speaking to me.

…

[Interview paused for 20 minutes.]

[The author avoided leaving the living room.]

[20 minutes later, I returned to the reception room and Mr. Joshua changed his clothes.]…]

…

【? ? Detailed explanation 20 minutes? ?】

[Wait? I am 60 years old and I am still being bullied by you? ? You must be so ugly!! ? ? ]

[The one in front is obviously low-medium, high-level and special-level with strong vitality and medical technology, and they will only show signs of aging in the year they are about to die. The faces and bodies of the other ages, 60, 80, and 90, are the peak years of physical fitness. No, haven't you seen the official website photos of the ten military chiefs? No way, no way? You don't really think that those chiefs posted photos of their youth to make their faces prettier? How can military wives have such a brain? They have the same face until they retire! ]

[…

Joshua came back to his senses in a second when he heard the voice of the female soldier.

I saw a very rich range of emotions in his eyes.

He sat up straight, not daring to look at me again, scaly wings sprouted from his naked back, and he swooped fiercely towards the silver-haired, blue-eyed female from the First Army.

The female military officer only had time to scream "Joshua" before Joshua tackled her head on. He even rode on the female military officer's upper body. The female military officer waved her arms for a long time but failed to knock Joshua off her body. All her pride and arrogance were destroyed by Joshua's one tackle.

Finally, Joshua grabbed the female soldier's shoulders and dragged her out of the tent. There were screams outside the tent again.

The female soldiers from the First and Second Armies present were shocked by this scene.

After all, the two high-ranking A-class military females collided with each other and left the scene in a hurry without any image. The scene was very funny and hilarious.

But no one dared to laugh, and the atmosphere in the tent was heavy.

Everyone is afraid of revenge from the powerful Warsaw family.

How magical.

My heart was heavy with Joshua's honesty.

I was amused and sad at Joshua's excitement.

I recognized who the military girl was.

If I am correct, this is the future other half of "me" in Joshua's memory.

Joszko Warsaw.

They really look alike, they are like twins even though they are not twins.

It is indeed a genetic miracle.

but…

My eyes were on Joshua's back from beginning to end.

His wings are beautiful.]

The system controls Fit's account, and when it reaches this sentence, it pauses for one second.

The notification sound of the number one special level message that had been noisy in the background suddenly stopped.

System: I am a little concerned.

The author has something to say:

I will just suppress the pop-up screen for these few chapters and read them after the teacher wakes up.

The progress from Milan's perspective is 90%. From Joshua's perspective, the first Milan blow is about to land.
