Chapter 149 Red Scale 2 [Update 1]
The two hugged each other to calm down, but in the end, their eyes fell on Chi Lin, who was as dull as rust.
"Without that energy, will Chi Lin be useless?" Ruan Xi didn't understand mechas, but he was not willing to see Chi Lin destroyed like this.
Moreover, he felt that Chi Lin was still "alive" and not "dead".
"That energy and that monster are like Chi Lin's heart. Now that the heart is gone, it is destined to remain silent." He Ziqian's tone and expression were obviously depressed and sad. He walked closer, raised his hand and gently stroked Chi Lin, feeling the no longer smooth surface under his fingers, and his other hand involuntarily clenched into a fist.
This feeling of being controlled by others is so terrible!
"Energy? However, although the source of the Red Scale's material is unknown, it was indeed made by humans. It has something in common with other mechas, right? Isn't the energy source of a mecha the core? The Red Scale's core shouldn't be in the place where the little monster appeared?" Ruan Xi thought carefully and always felt that he had overlooked something. However, he really didn't understand mechas, and these were all he could think of after racking his brains.
However, He Ziqian is different. He knows mechas very well, especially since Chi Lin is his partner who has fought side by side with him for many years. How could he not understand?
"You mean, as long as the core of the Red Scale can be reactivated, it can come back to life and will no longer be the restricted Red Scale before?" When He Ziqian said this, there was a bit of uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
He was really looking forward to something like that becoming a reality!
"Yes! That's right! It can't be ordinary energy! You have to use mental power! And it has to be your mental power, because you are the only pilot Chi Lin recognizes, and he only trusts you!"
The relationship between He Ziqian and Chilin is like the relationship between Ruan Xi and Dashu: partners, comrades, and family! To Chilin and Dashu, He Ziqian and Ruan Xi are irreplaceable.
"It must be like this! Chilin is waiting for me to wake it up!" After hearing Ruan Xi's words, He Ziqian felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened. In just a moment, his chaotic thoughts returned to their previous clarity. He was very sure of what he could do, what he should do, and what he must do.
"I'll help you!" Ruan Xi was particularly happy about this. He used his wood-related ability, transformed into a strand of silk thread, penetrated into He Ziqian's brow, and completely traveled around his body, taking away all of He Ziqian's fatigue and pain, just like recharging himself, making him quickly become energetic.
Ruan Xi had tried this method once in his previous life, but at that time, his ability level was not high enough. Although he saved the person he wanted to save by performing this healing technique, he almost lost half his life. Fortunately, his treatment was kept secret from everyone, and even the patient himself was in an unconscious state, so he just tried to give it a try.
This was the second time Ruan Xi had used this treatment technique in two lifetimes. He had no psychological barriers at all, and no physical discomfort. The whole process went extremely smoothly, which made him very excited.
His medical skills, secretly supplemented by the wood-based supernatural healing technique, will make him a bug-like existence even on the battlefield, in a situation that is always in an emergency.
Just thinking about it, Ruan Xi felt that he was so handsome that he had no friends.
"What is this? A healing technique?" He Ziqian was also amazed. He held Ruan Xi's hand and looked at him with eager eyes.
"Yes, it's the healing technique. Wood energy has the power of rejuvenation. It's a perfect match for my profession!" Facing He Ziqian, Ruan Xi was not on guard at all. He spoke excitedly and wished he could give He Ziqian a second treatment immediately.
Fortunately, he held back at the last moment. Good steel should be used on the blade. His healing skills are very precious. Perhaps, he can use them when he treats Qi Yuhan for the last time.
"Well, our little miracle doctor is indeed the best, no matter when and where." He Ziqian recently discovered that no matter what abilities he evolved, Ruan Xi could always bring him new surprises. In terms of evolution, Ruan Xi had never lost to anyone.
Perhaps, Ruan Xi is the savior sent by God to mankind.
He Ziqian didn't say this directly, but he had already silently confirmed this guess in his heart. The look he gave Ruan Xi became more gentle and profound.
Ruan Xi: "..." Well, it seems that there is something wrong with the way his boyfriend looks at him?
But at the moment, the two of them obviously had no time to think about other issues, Chi Lin was the most important issue.
"I'm starting." Chi Lin couldn't move, and He Ziqian couldn't enter the control cabin, so he simply placed his palms on Chi Lin's legs, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on releasing his mental power into Chi Lin's body.
From the very beginning, the release of He Ziqian's mental power was like a landslide and tsunami, rushing towards the location of the core - the chest cavity, which is directly below the control cabin, which is the source of Chi Lin's power.
Of course, if there were no inexplicable evil energy, this would indeed be the normal rule.
It didn't take He Ziqian much time to find the position of the core. There was no sign that the core had been moved, but the energy tank connected to the core was charred as if it had just been struck by lightning, and it looked as if it was completely damaged.
He Ziqian was secretly shocked when he saw this. He patiently checked all the places that needed to be checked carefully, then he withdrew his mental power and slowly opened his eyes.
"The core of the Red Scale is intact, but the energy tank has been completely destroyed and needs to be repaired. If it cannot be repaired..." then it needs to be replaced. However, the material used to make the Red Scale is special and unique in the entire Yinyu Empire. There is no replacement material at all.
"Try to fix it first. Can you fix it yourself?" Although Ruan Xi asked this, the light flashing in his eyes and the faint smile on his lips revealed his true meaning.
How could there be a mecha that her boyfriend couldn't repair?! That doesn't exist!
"able."
In fact, before Chi Lin's problems arose, He Ziqian was more accustomed to doing Chi Lin's own inspections and maintenance. He usually handled ordinary problems himself, and if he could avoid hiring a team specifically for him, he would try his best not to do so...
Thinking of this, He Ziqian's expression suddenly became serious. He frowned and said, "Ruan Xi, do you think... there is someone arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes in Chilin's exclusive maintenance team?"
"...Everything is possible!" Ruan Xi was stunned when he heard this, but every member of Chilin's exclusive maintenance team quickly flashed through his mind. He had only been there once with He Ziqian, and he had met all the people in that team, but he didn't say a word. His judgment of people was entirely based on intuition.
"Could it be those people who are particularly enthusiastic about Chi Lin? Or the one who appears to be the calmest?" Damn, it's like talking a bunch of nonsense, meaningless.
Ruan Xi sighed silently. Fighting openly and secretly was not really suitable for him. Whenever he thought about it, he felt that his brain capacity was not enough. It was so frustrating.
"You said everything is possible. Let's not think about that for now. If there really is a problem with that team, I don't mind waiting a few more days since they've been with me for so long." Although, it might not just be a matter of waiting a few more days.
The mastermind behind this was hiding so well that if it weren't for coincidence, they might have continued to be kept in the dark until the day of destruction.
"Okay, let's repair Chilin first, and then find a chance to check their background." He is not good at this kind of thing, but there are some people in the Goshawk Squad who are good at it, so there is no need to worry about not having anyone to use them!
But if this happens, I'm afraid they won't be able to live in peace for quite some time.
In contrast, the final exam that made the students panic was too easy. Ruan Xi was even a little impatient!
Different from using mental power to detect problems inside the red scale, repairing the energy tank is a real physical and technical job. Ruan Xi could only hand over the tools and help wipe the sweat and add oil. For the rest, he could only watch helplessly.
In less than half an hour, He Ziqian was already covered in sweat, with white mist starting to rise from his head. He looked as if he was floating in the air, which really made Ruan Xi laugh.
When He Ziqian heard Ruan Xi's laughter, he quickly glanced at him, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up. He asked casually, "What are you laughing at?"
"You're almost becoming an immortal, with a mist rising from your head!"
He Ziqian understood what was said immediately. He was very familiar with the situation of being so hot that white mist came out of his head. He couldn't help but chuckle. He just felt that Ruan Xi, who was trying hard to make him relax, was so adorable no matter how he looked at her.
No one can be more cute than this!
The repair of the Red Scale Energy Tank lasted for a full four hours, but no good result was produced. Seeing that it was on the verge of failure, Ruan Xi was unwilling to give up. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he quickly took action.
"Big Tree, Big Tree, give me a handful of your leaves. Maybe they can work wonders!" Ruan Xi suddenly had an idea and wanted to try this possibility. Big Tree couldn't help but sigh and advised, "My healing ability only targets living things, not mechas."
"How can we know if we don't try? Anyway, the worst possible outcome is already there, and I just can't bear to see Chilin ruined like this! Hurry up, give me some more leaves!"
Dashu: “…” He felt like his child was taken away by a wolf, and his elbows started to turn outward.
But, there is no other way, as he loves his own child, what can he do? He can only continue to spoil him.
"Here, here, don't cry if it doesn't work!" The big tree gave leaves and at the same time gave Ruan Xi a shot of prevention, lest his little Xi cry if it didn't work as he expected.
"I won't cry!"
Ruan Xi held a handful of leaves from the Tree of Life and presented them to He Ziqian. "These are given by the tree. Give it a try. The result can't get any worse anyway!"
He Ziqian: "...leaves of the Tree of Life?"
