At this time, Noel happened to see Noah behind Su Mingan.
"Sure enough... it seems so." Noel's eyes flickered for a moment like thorns. He and Noah were very similar, both had similar blond hair and blue eyes, and were lively and eccentric. Even the pronunciation of their names was very similar. However, Noel was a player, while Noah was the leader of Doomsday City and one of the nine seats.
“Grandpa, I still don’t want you to go to the banquet.” Noah ignored Noel’s gaze: “That fake city lord has suppressed everyone. Even if you reveal your identity, you may be persecuted…”
Su Mingan shook his head: "Go back, we will take action tonight."
Noah pursed his lips and did not persuade him again. He just stared at him blankly like a golden retriever. Su Mingan turned around and prepared to go into the room.
"——Sir! Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of running in the distance. A flaxen-haired girl came running over, wearing a neat military uniform and holding a milk-like lily in her arms.
"Sir! The white lilies grown in the greenhouse have bloomed. This is the first flower we have successfully grown. I give it to you!" The girl raised the lily in her hand and handed it to Su Mingan who was standing at the gate.
Su Mingan took the flowers.
The flower of love, the flower of purity, the flower of blessing.
People blessed by lilies are usually loved by everyone and can resist the temptations of the outside world to remain uncontaminated. In order to please Akto, people first cultivated his favorite flowers.
In the world of ruins, flowers symbolize spring.
…It turns out that spring can be born here.
"Thank you." Su Mingan said.
This is not a valuable flower, in the main world it is worth 0.1 points. But here, it symbolizes hope.
The girl gave a shy smile.
She is the granddaughter of Sen Celstia, Chun Celstia. She is sixteen years old this year. In terms of age, she is still the elder sister of Che and Yueyue, and does odd jobs in the greenhouse.
After learning that the white lily had bloomed, she rushed all the way and was the first to deliver it to Su Mingan.
"Sir, we want you to see the colors of spring," said Haru.
"Thank you, I'm very happy." Su Mingan said.
Chun seemed to have received great encouragement and bowed deeply until Su Mingan closed the door.
"——Thank you! I wish you success!"
With a click, the door closed. Noel washed his hands and put on white gloves:
"Su Mingan, lie down on the bed."
There was a flat bed under the bright operating light. Su Mingan placed the lilies on the table, and the iron frame made a harsh sound.
He heard Noel's voice:
"Su Mingan, why do you think humans are human? Because their bodies don't have mechanical parts?"
"Humans are human because they identify themselves as human." Su Ming'an replied while lying on the bed, "When a person's self-awareness tells him/her that you are a human, then no one can deprive him/her of the right to pursue independence."
"Is that so?" Noel nodded and began to be a riddler: "It seems that someone is really lucky..."
His voice was too soft for Su Mingan to hear the second half of his sentence.
The anesthetic penetrated his skin, Su Mingan's senses were fogged, and he closed his eyes.
The bright white light and the reflection of the scalpel shone in the room. Noel pursed his lips tightly, his expression extremely focused. He looked at the black-haired young man lying on the operating table. He sewed foreign objects into the wounds on his body with extremely delicate movements, and the pulling silk threads overlapped as densely as a spider web.
Not human flesh and blood, cold, foreign, hard. Those fine metal pieces, nails, chips. Inlaying, connecting, implanting, stitching them... Noel is like a painter, carefully painting the colors of each plate, painting the white paper with bright colors, and stitching up the broken blood wounds in front of him bit by bit.
Like perfecting a broken piece of art, an incomplete statue.
Noel noticed that Su Mingan seemed to treat his body as a cold tool. He would not feel pain because it could be repaired. He would not feel fear because it would return to the original state.
The reason why Noel felt guilty about his child was because he knew it deeply in his heart - humans are human because they act with human bodies, think with human bodies, feel and love with human bodies. When matter itself changes, thoughts will inevitably shift. When part of the body is replaced by metal parts, humans will have a wrong understanding of themselves.
If possible, Noel hopes that he will never use his scalpel on his teammates.
Yet it was used, at the other side's strong insistence.
An hour later, the lights dimmed and Noel threw the red-stained gloves into the trash can.
“Pah.”
He snapped his fingers like a magician.
"Okay, wake up."
A second later, Su Mingan opened his eyes.
He moved his body and found no obstruction.
"Any questions?" Noel said.
"No, it was very successful." Su Mingan said.
He took off his blood-stained clothes, put on the white suit he had prepared in advance, and pushed open the door holding the lilies.
"Good luck to you, Su Ming'an. The enemy is a god." Noel warned.
"I'm used to the situation where the enemy is a god." Su Mingan shook his head and took a step forward.
He suddenly heard a rush of wind and something heavy was falling towards him.
In an instant, his entire body glowed with light, preparing to move through space.
But he forced himself to stop. He saw clearly what the heavy object was.
“Bang!”
A heavy ringing sound.
A corpse fell in front of him.
Her flaxen hair fluttered in the air, her flaming pupils lost their luster, and half of her body was shattered by the impact of the fall, spilling a large amount of dark red blood and shattered internal organs.
The strong wind blew up Su Mingan's black hair and messed up the lilies in his arms.
