Chapter 350 Monster Hospital (Forty-nine)
The other person's voice was filled with a murmur, and as these words fell into her ears, she felt something from the human form condensed by the black air falling into her body, but before she could notice it carefully, she suddenly felt sleepy.
When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer deep in the mud. The dazzling light made her feel very uncomfortable, and the black air that used to entangle her body disappeared without a trace. Although she could still feel the other party, the connection was very weak.
She became a member of the human race, but realized that the energy gathered in her body could not really make her the same as humans. The sun outside was shining brightly, completely different from underground. There were many colors around her, not pitch black anymore. She had more feelings like humans.
That person also gave herself a human name - Man Wugui. Obviously, the environment here is countless times better than underground, and she has seen many different landscapes, but there is always a feeling of emptiness in her heart. Every time she wakes up in the middle of the night, she remembers the initial warmth that the black air gave her when she was about to die soon after waking up.
Human life was peaceful and the colors outside were bright, but she always felt that her connection with the black energy was getting weaker and weaker, and the other party's power seemed to be gradually suppressed and swallowed up, and she would feel uneasy.
Ever since she came to the ground, she tried to contact the other party but received no response. She didn't know if she was being abandoned or for some other reason. She always thought of the meaningful words the other party said before she left.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and began to use the weak connection to find the other party's whereabouts. Finally, she found a place where the black air was stronger than other places, especially because it was surrounded. She wandered for a few days and occasionally saw the black air coming out from the ground, but soon the black air disappeared, as if it was absorbed by someone.
After wandering around that place for a long time, Man Wugui discovered that some humans would be affected by the black air and injured. The injured humans would be carried inside, and when they came out, they would be restored to their original state. She would not be affected by the black air, but she thought of getting closer to the other party and finding out what was going on.
After a while, she finally found an opportunity and pretended to be injured to enter the surrounded land. As soon as she stepped in, she felt a familiar smell from the land under her feet, but the smell was very weak until she saw that person.
At first, she thought that the person was the one she was looking for, because the appearance of the black energy at the beginning now appeared in front of her with a human face. But at a glance, she found that it was not the case. The person was just a shell like the other person, but actually not the same person. Instead, it was the black energy in the other person's body that made Man Wugui feel familiar.
Unlike ordinary humans, she could directly see the black air in the person's body. She could also feel that the black air became restless when it smelled her breath, as if it was awakened by her appearance.
The other party has been waiting for him. Such a thought suddenly popped up in Man Wugui's mind without any warning, and he was very sure that his guess was correct. The black energy in the body of the leader began to stir because of his appearance.
"I thought I'd never see you again."
The breaths were connected, and Man Wugui heard Heiqi's voice again. It was still so gentle, but there was a hint of happiness in this voice. Yes, it was happiness. This was the feeling she first learned, because without Heiqi's presence, she hadn't experienced such an emotion for a long time.
Whether it was her or the black energy, they both experienced the same feeling at the same moment.
"I thought you drove me away because you didn't want to see me again."
Her ability to express herself in words has become very fluent, and she is no longer able to utter only a few words, so she can express her meaning very clearly, and her tone even carries a hint of grievance, as if a child who has been away from home for a long time has finally found the arms of his parents and can't wait to express his feelings.
The black energy was silent for a while inside the leader's body, and then said with some disappointment, "How could that be? I'm glad you came to see me."
Although you don't know what this means, you have brought me new choices. Because of your coming, I have a new life. Hei Qi didn't say the latter sentence aloud, but just thought silently in his heart.
Originally, saving Man Wugui was just an accident. She originally wanted to absorb the last bit of energy in the other's body to nourish herself, but she didn't know whether it was an ignorant action when she just woke up, or her instinct to live when she just woke up and was about to die, or it could be that some accidents finally happened in her long and chaotic life, which touched something, so she had her own thoughts, wanting to give this life a little bit of strength, like letting her live, wanting her to see the bright world again.
She had almost given up struggling, but suddenly she started to perk up. She wanted to hold on a little longer, wanted to see this life have a body, be able to speak, wanted to see the other person with her own eyes, so she struggled desperately and injected her strength into the other person's body.
If there were no suppression from the power on the ground, she felt that there would be nothing wrong with hiding deep in the land, especially now that there was a little guy. She watched the little guy she provided for grow up little by little day by day. She woke up, she had consciousness, she had five senses, and she finally had a body.
She relies on herself, and she only has herself in her whole life. She doesn't mind the darkness of the soil, doesn't mind the bad smell here, doesn't think that she is scary in the dark, and doesn't need to let the black air in. Instead, she uses her warm little body to feel the existence of the black air. She even likes the feeling of the black air she releases, entangled around her. She has never expressed a desire to leave here, and seems to want to stay here with herself forever.
But I can't do this, because my own power is weakening, and the opponents on the ground are getting stronger. If one day you die, she will not be able to survive here. I have concerns. Since I gave her life, I must be responsible for this life. My own power is weakening day by day, and she is also delaying day by day.
Until one day, she knew she couldn't delay any longer. Before leaving, she didn't know what to say, so she had to avoid the important points and guide Manwugui, telling her to go see the light outside, that she would definitely like it, and how wonderful the world outside was, but she always avoided talking about the issue of separation.
It was not until Man Wugui opened his mouth and said that he wanted to leave here with her and see the outside world that she admitted that she was moved. However, she also understood what she would have to pay if she wanted to leave here completely, and how the outside world would change drastically. But she was still moved.
The contents were too heavy. Man Wugui had just woken up not long ago. Not to mention that she could not understand them at all, even if the other party understood them, she was reluctant to let the other party pay anything. So in the end she just murmured something, and reluctantly hid most of her strength in her body and sent her away.
The days that followed were like flowing water, and the suppressed pain seemed less important. She lived in a daze, but every time she would think of the days when that little life first came here, those happy days. She always thought that she had enough good memories, but now she realized that it was far from enough. She longed to know about the other person's current life, and wanted to know if she would think of herself when she saw the light, and whether she would look abrupt when she hid in the crowd, and whether she was hurt.
It was not until this time that she understood what it felt like to be worried. She felt that she seemed different from before. Before, she seemed to be just a chaotic individual without any distinct emotions. Since Man Wugui appeared, although her strength has weakened, her emotions have increased, and her sense of the outside world has become clearer and clearer.
The connection with Man Wugui was very tenuous. She could only confirm that he was still alive, but she could not learn any more details.
She found that since her emotions and perception abilities had improved, the suppression of her from the ground seemed to have weakened a little. However, because she had hidden most of her strength in Man Wugui's body, she was still unable to contend with the other party. However, for the first time, she had the urge to break free from this restraint and wanted to see this bright world with the other party in broad daylight.
And at this moment, Man Wugui appeared in front of her. How could she not be excited? When she was underground before, she used the black gas to transform herself just to let Man Wugui see her. But when the other party appeared, she felt a little beat in the black gas, just like a pool of stagnant water, finally causing waves, and this wave came from deep under the water. Something in her body finally awakened, and she also made a decision.
Man Wugui was unable to sense the other person's turbulent emotions, but when he heard the other person say that he was happy to see him, the empty feeling in his chest finally disappeared.
"Why are you trapped in this person's body? When can you get out? I can kill this person."
Time was running out, and the person in front of him had already begun to doubt his actions. Man Wugui seized the opportunity to communicate with the other person, "Human life is a bit boring, or maybe I just want to be with you, can you take me back?"
Man Wugui could feel the power of the black energy weakening, and could even sense the murderous intent of the person looking at her towards the black energy. She was afraid that the black energy would disappear, and she only wanted to be with the other person.
No matter how fresh the bright world is, without the company of black air, everything becomes dull.
She can do anything to be able to get along with the black energy again. It is not a big deal to get rid of the person in front of her, especially since the other party is using the same body as the black energy. If she takes this body away, she might be able to see this bright world with the black energy.
"We don't have to go back, just wait for me."
When Man Wugui left that day, he heard Hei Qi's last words.
