Chapter 113 Resurrection
Fang Yun went through the most dangerous and longest "winter" in his life. During the time he was missing, Sifley implanted more than forty soybean-sized micro-bombs into his abdominal cavity. Although they did not explode completely, three of them exploded accidentally and caused serious damage to his internal organs. The empire's top doctors conducted sleepless consultations and only then did they save his life.
When I woke up again, half a month had passed.
Fang Yun opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw were all kinds of unfamiliar medical instruments. The snow-white walls and ceiling around him carried the dead air and oppression unique to hospitals, and every breath he took was painful.
For a moment, he even thought he was back in the human world. However, the black-haired man sitting next to the bed reminded Fang Yun clearly that this was still the dangerous Zerg.
"A...per?"
Fang Yun hadn't spoken for a long time, and his throat was like an old bellows, wheezing and gasping. If you didn't look at his mouth shape, you would have no idea what he was saying.
Amber sat on the bed with his legs crossed, holding a magazine to kill time. When he saw Fang Yun wake up, he closed the book and asked, "Are you awake?"
Fang Yun struggled to speak: "Why are you here..."
Amber certainly didn't come here to accompany him. Although he wasn't a bad guy, he wasn't a good guy either. He had no relationship with Fang Yun, so how could he come here to accompany him? "I accompanied Ludwig to the hospital to visit my comrades, and I came to see you on the way. I didn't expect you to wake up."
Fang Yun coughed twice after hearing this. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He asked excitedly, "Where's Severus? Where is he?"
Amber raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you still miss him?"
Logically, Sevilla should have died on the planet Gorga, after all, Amber chopped off his head with a sword. However, the system was like a stagnant pool, and no prompts popped up, forcing Amber to suspect that Sevilla was not dead yet.
Fang Yun's chest ached from coughing when he heard that. He briefly suspected that Amber was deliberately trying to piss him off. He didn't even have time to hate Severus, so how could he possibly miss him? With bloodshot eyes, he said, "I...I'm going to kill him..."
Amber raised her eyelids and looked at him, as if she was waiting for Fang Yun to say this. She said meaningfully, "There will be a chance. You should have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
He threw the magazine aside and prepared to leave when a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "You are also a human...right?"
Amber didn't answer or turn around because he didn't think the question was important.
Fang Yun lay on the bed, closing his eyes in pain: "I didn't... didn't mean to hurt you... Sifley said... that you were a male insect with a bad reputation, and you often took advantage of your identity as Major General Ludwig's fiancé to do things to him... I was instigated by him... That's why I deliberately put drugs in your wine..."
"It doesn't matter."
Amber still didn't turn around. The light from the window shone through, and his tall figure was a little blurry. He lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Just bear the consequences."
Sivley had done something wrong and needed to bear the consequences, and so did Fang Yun.
Ever since the Black Eagle Corps returned from completing the clearing mission, it caused a sensation in the empire. The person who attracted the most attention was undoubtedly Amber, the great hero. Words like "the prodigal son who has returned", "a sudden turnaround", and "the light of the male insect" were applied to him one after another. He became the topic of discussion in the aristocratic circle, and even the military was preparing for his promotion.
Amber himself rarely showed up, staying at home and seldom going out, using the excuse of recuperating at home and declining the invitations to the banquets that came in like snowflakes. He had been secretly calculating the time, and sure enough, he received the news from the exploration team at about the same time as in his previous life.
"Since the Legion came back from exterminating the aliens, the geology of the planet Vorga has been severely damaged. The Insect Emperor originally wanted to send a survey team to survey the situation and discuss remedial measures, but he didn't expect to find the seriously injured Siflai at the bottom of the valley."
Duke Bach sat on the sofa and told the news he had heard yesterday. He had no idea how much shock his words had caused. He sighed slightly and said:
"When you came back from the battlefield, there was no news about Sivry. I thought he had died in the battle. Director Em said that he had been transferred to the Interstellar Hospital last night. His injuries were minor and he would be discharged soon."
Ludwig, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, paused when he heard the words. He raised his eyes slightly, looking a little surprised and uncertain. He didn't expect that Siffre was still alive. After all, the gunshot hit him directly in the middle of the eyebrows.
Ludwig's emotions were fluctuating, but his face didn't show it: "Really? The situation on the battlefield was too chaotic, and I thought Severi was lost. Now that he's found, it's good. How about we go visit him together in a couple of days? What do you think?"
He turned his head and looked at the black-haired male insect beside him. His military boots lightly touched the edge of the other's leather shoes, with an undercurrent that only they knew about.
Amber thought that Severus was not dead after all. It seemed that he still had a resurrection card in his hand, but he had used it up when he was knocked down the valley by Ludwig in his previous life. "That's good. I can just prepare a discharge gift for him."
When he said this, his tone was quite meaningful, but unfortunately Prince Bach did not notice it.
"There's no rush for Severe. I'll have the driver pick him up from the hospital later. As for you two, since you're back, shouldn't you take the time to hold your wedding? If you delay any further, you'll have to wait until next year."
After returning from the battlefield, Amber became a new noble in the imperial capital, and many female insects were secretly watching him. Although Amber was already engaged to Ludwig, as long as there was no wedding, they were not completely without a chance. Even if she couldn't become a female monarch, being a female servant would not be bad.
Although Duke Bach seldom goes out, he is not completely ignorant of the wind direction outside. He called them both over today specifically in order to settle the marriage as soon as possible.
Amber smiled slightly: "Of course, but we have to wait until Severi comes out of the hospital. After all, he is Ludwig's brother, and he can't be absent when we get married."
No one knew what Siflai had gone through during his time on the planet Golga. When he came back, he looked completely different. His beautiful blond hair had become dull and had turned into a malnourished yellow. His blue eyes had become cloudy and dark, and everyone he looked at looked like a poisoned needle. During the few days he stayed in the hospital, he would lose his temper at the slightest dissatisfaction, smashing things and scolding people, causing great trouble to the medical staff.
When the third prince came to visit with his servants, before he even entered the house, he heard a series of clattering sounds, followed by Severe's hysterical roar: "I said I want to be discharged! I want to be discharged, don't you understand?! I don't have much time left, I don't have time to waste with you here!"
"I'm sorry, but the dean said that you stayed on the planet of Golga for too long and didn't wear protective clothing. Your body is likely to be affected by the radiation from the mine. You must stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, otherwise your life will be in danger..."
"Get out! Get out! What do you know? If I don't leave the hospital, my life will be in danger!"
The doctors and nurses thought that Severi was just going crazy, so they packed up their things and walked out, leaving him to continue making noise and smashing things inside.
The third prince Nurman frowned slightly when he saw this, and walked into the messy ward. He ordered the servants behind him to close the door, pulled a chair and sat down, saying in a bad tone: "Sivley, did you call me all the way here just to see you go crazy?"
When Sifley saw the Third Prince, he finally regained some sanity from his near-madness. His eyes were sunken and haggard, and he crawled out of bed and said, "Third Prince! Find a way to get me out! Please think of a way! I really can't stay in the hospital anymore. I have something important to do!"
The third prince scolded in a low voice: "If you want to go out, then behave normally. Who would let you out if you are crazy?!"
The Lanyi family holds an important position in the empire. Ludwig has already formed a faction with the fourth prince. The third prince has no choice but to pull Siffre in, but he did not expect that the other party was suppressed by Ludwig so much that he has not achieved any results in the military for such a long time.
When the Third Prince thought about this, he no longer had his previous gentle and smiling face, and said in a cold tone: "The Insect Emperor is already considering the matter of appointing a crown prince. Duke Bach was once the Insect Emperor's first teacher and he is very trustworthy. If he supports the Fourth Prince, we will all lose!"
Siflai held his head in frustration. He only had a few days left to complete his assassination mission. His life was at stake, so he had no mood to listen to the Third Prince complaining, "So what do you want me to do?!"
The third prince said in a deep voice, word by word: "You, go and be the head of the Lan Yi family."
Severus paused when he heard this, and looked up in disbelief: "What did you say?"
The third prince sneered: "Why, you don't dare? As long as you deal with that old man Duke Bach, I will support you to become the head of the family, how about it?"
Sivley's eyes widened: "But..."
The Third Prince interrupted coldly, "No but, you just tell me whether I want to be discharged from the hospital or not?!"
“…”
There was lush greenery outside the window, but there were no cicadas chirping, so there was no sound at all in the sweltering summer, and it was terrifyingly dead silent.
The driver came to pick up Siffre on the day he was discharged from the hospital. He sat alone in the back seat of the aircraft. His blue eyes looked a little scary due to the bloodshot. His whole body fell into shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He was like a ball of black mist.
Sivley held a thumb-thick glass bottle of medicine in his hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is Grandpa home?"
The driver felt that Severe looked a little scary, especially his bloodshot blue eyes, which were no less than those of a ghost. He answered fearfully, "At... at home."
The gloomy hatred in Severi's eyes almost solidified into substance: "What about Ludwig and Amber?"
He had never called Ludwig by his full name, always calling him brother, brother.
It was midsummer, but the driver felt a chill on his back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Major General Ludwig and Her Excellency Amber are going to have their wedding soon. They are busy choosing wedding dresses and decorating the venue, so they are not at the old house recently."
“…”
Sivley didn't say anything else, but said sinisterly: "Drive faster, I want to go back early."
The assassins can only end this endless life by completing a hundred missions. When they complete the last mission, the current world is where they will stay and live. Although Siflai doesn't like the Zerg, a broken place, and is quite dissatisfied with the gender assigned to him by the system, if he can get Ludwig's luck, he will stand on the top of the mountain and live a glorious life.
As long as he kills Duke Bach, he can become the patriarch of the Lanyi family. Then Ludwig and Amber will be at his disposal. Even if he fails to complete the task, he must make these two people die with him!
Sifley raised his eyes and looked at the rearview mirror. His originally pure blue eyes were gradually disappearing and the color of his pupils was getting darker and darker. This was the backlash of stealing luck. He couldn't wait any longer.
The aircraft slowly landed at the old house, and the driver left after completing the pick-up mission. Siffre pushed the door and walked into the hall, but found the room quiet. He went upstairs and found that Duke Bach was lying in the room taking a nap. There was a pile of invitation samples on the bedside table, obviously preparing for Amber and Ludwig's wedding.
Severi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had been suffering from life and death torture during this period, while Ludwig and his wife were quietly preparing to get married. How could he not hate them in his heart?
He glanced at the slightly old face of Duke Bach, gritted his teeth silently, and took out the syringe from his pocket tremblingly. The third prince said that this medicine would create the illusion of sudden death from heart failure, and Duke Bach was already old, so he would definitely not have any doubts.
Sivley had killed countless people, so he was very skilled at injecting drugs. He quietly lifted the quilt, revealing Duke Bach's hand with clear veins. He pushed some of the air out of the syringe, and then slowly moved it closer to the inside of the arm.
"Bang!"
When the needle tip was about to pierce the skin, a stone flew out from nowhere and knocked the syringe to the ground. Sivley was startled, and before he could react, Duke Bach, who was taking a nap on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his wrist, looking furious: "You beast! You actually want to hurt me!!"
"Grandpa?!"
Severus panicked for a moment. Just when he was about to strangle Duke Bach to death with a fierce look in his eyes, he heard a muffled sound from the floor. Amber suddenly climbed in from the window outside. He was wearing a decent suit and still had that calm and disgusted look. He said slowly:
"Sivley, long time no see. I haven't had time to congratulate you on your discharge from the hospital yet."
Sivry's eyes widened, he looked at Duke Bach, then at Amber: "Did you collude to deal with me?!"
Duke Bach threw him to the ground, his chest heaving with anger, but more of it was disappointment: "When Lady Amber said you had evil intentions, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true! Sivley, who gave you the courage to harm Lady Fang Yun?! Who gave you the courage to harm me?! You already have so much, what else are you not satisfied with?!"
Although he didn't love Severi as much as Ludwig did, he had paved all the way for her. Now Severi was trying to harm him just for the position of the head of the family. How could Chong not be disappointed? !
"How much do I have?"
Hearing this, Siflai slowly stood up from the ground and sneered, "If I had more, why didn't you give me the position of the head of the family?! Don't think I don't know that you loved Ludwig the most since he was a child. In order to let him take over the family, you have always disciplined him strictly and let me go my own way. Don't say these high-sounding words to deceive me!"
As he spoke, he hid the syringe in his pocket without leaving any trace, squeezed the liquid out quickly, bent the needle, and then turned around and rushed out the door -
Sifley turned off all the surveillance in the house when he took action, and he did not succeed in the injection. Even if he was discovered, there would be no evidence. As long as he quickly goes to find the Third Prince to find a solution, there may be a chance to turn things around!
Siveley had beautiful thoughts, but just as he escaped from the room, he suddenly heard a gunshot in his ears, and then his right knee went numb, and he fell to his knees with a thud, his face turning pale with pain.
Ludwig had been waiting outside the door since some time. He lazily leaned against the wall, looking down as he fiddled with the light gun in his hand. There was a look of indifference in his eyes. This scene seemed familiar to him.
"Sivley, long time no see, why are you running away when you see me, huh?"
Ludwig smiled and shook the gun in his hand. His cold eyes fell on Severi's right leg, which was bleeding. He slowly climbed over it like a venomous snake, looking dangerous no matter how he looked at it. "I'm so sorry, my gun went off accidentally and I hurt you again."
Siflei's face turned pale, because he clearly saw the murderous intent that flashed across Ludwig's eyes. He didn't know if it was because he had taken away the other party's luck, but every time he faced Ludwig, he always felt an indescribable tremor and fear.
