Chapter 49 Humanoid Weapon 16
The people behind seemed to have discovered their position a long time ago, but they were in no hurry to come up, and they would never confront them head-on. They just kept doing things to harass them.
During this period, Sha Jia found the opportunity to track them down, but every time they escaped cunningly before Sha Jia could make a move.
They seemed to know Yan Bei's terrifying destructive power better than anyone else, but if they didn't dare to confront Yan Bei head-on, then what was the point of them continuing to do all this?
Is he stalling for time? After realizing this, Sha Jia felt that he should not waste time on this, and he should take Yan Bei away as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Sha Jia turned to look at Yan Bei who was sitting in the passenger seat. Unexpectedly, a look of irritation appeared on the white-haired young man's face. He himself hadn't noticed it yet, but such an expression on his face was definitely unusual, which made Sha Jia more certain of his guess.
Arnold probably also knew where these people behind him came from.
-
The shells fired from behind landed on the ground, leaving large holes.
The shabby car sped through the mountains and forests. Shajia drove the car calmly to avoid the attack from behind.
At this moment, Yan Bei, who was sitting next to him, had a dazed look in his eyes for a moment, and then suddenly grabbed his arm. Shajia was disturbed by him, and the whole vehicle slid to the right, and finally, after hitting a steep rock wall, the engine stalled.
Thick smoke billowed out of the car. Shajia opened the door and rolled out, then put out the small flames on his body on the ground.
He didn't even notice the unknown person who was quickly catching up with him from behind, but immediately rushed to the other side of the car door and dragged out Yan Bei who was stuck in the seat due to the collision.
During the time when they had the accident, the guy who had been following them for so many days finally stopped hiding.
One after another, pure black ghost-like landers surrounded the two.
Sha Jia was vigilantly observing the enemies on all sides, his brain working frantically to think of countermeasures. At this time, Yan Bei pulled him behind him. Sha Jia was stunned for a moment. In that moment, all he could see was Yan Bei's thin back. Although he was far less tall than the enemy, he was able to block the young Sha Jia seriously.
-
Yan Bei doesn’t know these people very well, but they give Yan Bei a very familiar feeling.
Yan Bei couldn't figure out why he felt familiar, but no matter what, he just had to help Sha Jia deal with all the bad intentions as he did before.
A gust of wind blew up out of nowhere.
A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Yan Bei's mouth, and his internal organs were in excruciating pain. This was the price he paid for using his abilities to the fullest.
He protected Sha Jia behind him. Just as the two sides were confronting each other silently, Yan Bei suddenly felt his strength weakened and found that he could not move.
What's going on?
He was in a trance because of a situation he had never encountered before. He wondered why he couldn't control his body.
At this time, the landers surrounding them on both sides slowly moved to make way, and a lander of extremely dark color stopped in the middle.
The black-clad attendant respectfully opened the door for him.
An old man with white hair and complicated clothes got off the car. He was leaning on a black, smooth, alien skull-shaped cane, and a black alien fur cloak dragged on the ground. The wrinkles on his face looked like a pool of molten magma, and the crown was branded with a dark curse.
A pair of old eyes on the magma moved slowly. He glanced at Sha Jia and then fixed his gaze on Yan Bei's face.
"Come here."
He gave an unquestionable command. As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bei immediately felt a force driving him towards the man. He tried to resist this force, desperately resisting the feeling of being out of control of his body.
But how can people fight against their own will?
Yan Bei took a step forward, and then he walked towards the old man like a robot that had been successfully turned on.
-
Shajia looked at the strange situation around him with a confused look on his face. What was this? Who were they? It was very different from what Shajia had imagined. How come this serious group of guys looked like Arnold's family? How was it possible? Didn't Arnold escape from the laboratory?
He looked at Yan Bei in panic.
The silver-haired man lowered his head. From Shajia's perspective, his entire face was covered by his hair, with only the tip of his snow-white nose showing.
Arnold...
A feeling of fear emerged from Sha Jia's heart, and he reached out to grab Yan Bei, but before he could touch him, Sha Jia walked towards the old man without hesitation.
Sha Jia stared at his back in a daze, his outstretched hand frozen in mid-air. He turned his head stiffly little by little to look at Yan Bei's back, watching him walk quickly to the old man, stand beside him respectfully, then turn around, revealing a face that Sha Jia was very familiar with, but he didn't even look at Sha Jia, staring coldly at the front.
The fear of losing what he had gained was like a storm sweeping through Shajia's heart. His body suddenly didn't seem like his own body, the world before him became white and dazzling, and the sun was shaking in the sky.
The scene became stiff. There were many people standing nearby, but no one cared about Sha Jia. After seeing Yan Bei coming back, the old man prepared to return to the car.
Seeing Yan Bei was about to leave with him, Sha Jia suddenly woke up and shouted, "Wait a minute, who are you——"
Before he could finish, he felt a sudden pain in his back and was knocked to the ground by a stick. At the same time, the people who had surrounded him suddenly came over.
The two people who were preparing to get on the car also stopped and looked at the besieged boy on the ground with indifference.
At this time, Shaka was not yet the general who commanded the three armies many years later. His body was maldeveloped due to long-term lack of nutrition, and he had almost no ability to fight back when facing a group of normal adults, even though these people did not use weapons with great destructive power, but instead used the most primitive and violent weapons against him.
They murdered and silenced people as if they were performing a traditional and elegant musical for the nobility.
The white-haired old man stared coldly at the musical performed for him. At this moment, the silver-haired boy standing next to him began to tremble uncontrollably.
The white-haired old man turned his head and saw that his most important sword was grieving for others at an inappropriate time. His whole body was controlled and he couldn't even move his eyeballs, so he could only watch this tragedy with tears flowing from his eyes that couldn't close.
The white-haired old man sneered contemptuously. He stretched out a slender hand from under his cloak and pinched Yan Bei's chin. The cold voice rang in his ears like a poisonous snake licking his cheek.
"Did you see that? This is what happens when you disobey my orders."
Yan Bei's body was stiff and he couldn't speak.
"Your Majesty, perhaps he is of some other use?" A man's voice sounded in the old man's ears, but he just frowned and then waved away the owner of the unnecessary voice.
"Get lost, idiot! Stop teaching me. You're interested in such inferior materials. Are you planning to take advantage of me again?"
The man standing in the shadows did not dare to retort and quietly retreated to his original position.
I didn't know how much blood had flowed out of my body. I could only feel my brain slowly getting colder and every bone in my body felt as if it was broken.
Is he going to die?
The black-clad men around him gradually dispersed. Shajia fell in the mud, his ears filled with blood and mud, and he could only see a blurry, distorted and deformed world.
The pain slowly left my body.
Shajia shook her fingers and gently closed her eyelids.
"Brother!" A young man's voice pierced the darkness and exploded in Shajia's ears like thunder.
It's Arnold.
Shajia opened his eyes suddenly and tried to keep them open, but his eyes were so swollen as if they were soaked in formaldehyde. Everything in front of him was blurry and he couldn't see clearly where the voice calling him came from.
At this moment, a pair of hands gently touched his face. A soft, gentle and cautious touch appeared on his face, cold but soft.
"Brother...Brother." Yan Bei knelt down and stroked Sha Jia's face while dropping pearls. All around him, the black-clad servants were lying on the ground, except for the old man.
Under his touch, Shaka felt the pain in his body begin to ease a lot. He blinked and could see the scene in front of him much more clearly.
elder brother……?
Although he thought they had this kind of relationship before, this was the first time Arnold called him that.
Sha Jia couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to touch Yan Bei's face, but because he was too weak, he only touched his smooth hair that was hanging down, and his hand dropped because of weakness.
The world went dark.
-
In the pure white ward, Shajia suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the instruments monitoring vital signs around him rang at the same time.
Then, the door of the ward was flung open, and a group of people in white and yellow uniforms rushed in at the same time. They all wanted to be the first to rush in, but they were squeezed and shoved in the door, and in the end no one let anyone in.
Shajia was still lying flat, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind still not free from the emotions of the dream.
"Get out of my way!"
At this moment, a familiar voice pulled him down from the floating sky to the hospital bed. He couldn't get up for a moment, so he turned his head to look. The crowded crowd stopped moving, and then one by one they were ruthlessly pushed out by a pair of hands.
The door of the ward was suddenly empty, and the owner of the hand revealed his true identity at this time. He was an ordinary young man with a buzz cut. After driving everyone away, he only left Shajia's doctor in the room, and then closed the door mercilessly, blocking out a row of curious heads looking in.
Shajia was helped to sit up. While the doctor examined him, he began to question his adjutant.
“辛苦你了，最近情況怎麽樣了。”
沙嘉的副官，也就是那個趕走了所有人的寸頭青年開口說，“一切都在按照計劃進行着，雖然因為您不在導致了軍中人心不穩，要把您蘇醒的消息傳達下去嗎？”
“不。”聽完了副官對現狀的描述後，沙嘉飛快地思索了一會，随即下了新的決斷，“不要把我蘇醒的消息透露出去，軍中現在這樣就很好，如果可以的話，葬禮也可以繼續安排下去。”
“好的，将軍。”副官沒有多問，平靜地應了下來。
“對了，沙嘉。”寸頭青年沒有再維持着之前一臉嚴肅的樣子，而是向前走了兩步，靠近沙嘉的耳邊咬牙切齒地說，“你不許再像那次一樣孤身犯險了，甚至連一句訊息都沒提前留下。”
“我沒……”沙嘉一時間愕然，這次意外當真不是他有意安排的，但是他還沒來得及解釋就被寸頭青年再次打斷。
“不要再拿那套你覺得自己有鎖血挂的說辭來糊弄我們了，你要是再背着我們随便亂跑的話，我可攔不住他們要把你腿打斷的決心。”
說完，他又起身一秒恢複嚴肅的樣子，不再打擾沙嘉的休息，恭恭敬敬地行了個軍禮後和醫生一塊離開的病房。
看着多年好友離開的背影，沙嘉一時間啞然失笑。
看了一會，他又慢慢地收回視線，雙手掩面，脊背疲憊地慢慢彎下去。
驟然恢複的龐大記憶給他造成的心靈沖擊不小。就算時醒來後也還有許多複雜且沉重的情緒萦繞在心頭，剛才房間門口那一出鬧劇将情緒沖散了許多，但此時驟然安靜下來，對命運的怨怼又不受控制地浮現出來。
他當時明明已經是必死無疑了，可是為什麽又突然醒了過來，後來還有幸被克萊夫老師救下，
他為什麽沒有死成呢，安當時那些人下手的程度，完全不像是還會好心留他一條命的樣子，但是他卻再次醒了過來，甚至擁有了無與倫比的身體素質和戰鬥天賦。
他終于知道了過往百般尋找的記憶，可現在他卻無比希望神能夠把這部分記憶從他的腦子裏抹出去。
為什麽要讓他知道。
他全力對付的、憎恨的、詛咒的、陷害的、想要殺死的，置他于死地的都是他曾經唯一的親人。
到底是為什麽？
要如此戲耍他。
他到底該怎麽做？
房間的光線随着主人的動作慢慢黯淡下來。
黑色的身影佝偻着，長久地維持着同一個動作。
-
帝國的另一邊。
“博士，逃走的實驗品被帶回來了。”
“陛下。”看見被侍從們包圍中的老人，博士誠惶誠恐地低下腦袋。
“博士，你不會再犯這種錯誤了吧。”老人盯着他低下的腦袋，問。
“絕對不會了，陛下，除非我死，否則絕對不會再讓他脫離控制。”
得到博士拿頭保證的回複後，老皇帝心滿意足地離開了，原地只留下博士和反應僵硬的白發實驗品。
在一行人離開的聲音消失好久後，博士才慢慢擡起腦袋。
看着面前呆滞空洞的實驗品，仔細了看了一圈後，他喃喃自語，“哪裏變得不一樣了？”
又仔細看了片刻後，他突然恍然大悟，“你的那個丢哪裏了？送出去了？哈、哈，要是這樣那未免也太有意思了。”
他說着說着突然放聲大笑起來，笑聲在空曠房間裏回蕩，但是唯一的聽衆卻只是睜着空洞的白色眼瞳，愣愣地站着，沒辦法給他一丁點回應。
【回憶結束……】
宴北從床上醒了過來，神情愣愣的。
他并沒有太受原主的記憶影響，相反他在冷靜地權衡這段記憶中透露出了什麽訊息，以及可供他利用的部分有哪些。
但是他沒有思考多久，因為這段記憶的解鎖，連帶着原主之前無數次被洗腦的部分都受到沖擊，如同洪水大量的記憶沖擊着宴北的腦殼，讓他的頭顱瞬間疼到炸裂。
因為是實在是太痛，他痛到從床上跌落，這動靜驚動了其他人，沒多久，在一陣急促慌亂的腳步聲後，宴北的房間門被邦邦敲響。
“統領？你怎麽了？”蘭斯站在門口，先是叫了宴北，得不到回應後又喊到，“愛德華！給我開門。”
不，不能讓他進來，眼睜睜聽見自己的智能管家就要給開門，宴北立刻就給愛德華下達了新指令。
絕對不能讓那個家夥進來看到他崩人設的樣子。
“愛德華，關門，不要放他進來。”
但是智能管家卻出乎意料地拒絕了他的指令，“不，統領大人，基于你如今身體上劇烈的數據波動來看，你現在可能沒辦法清醒的下達指令，經過我的數據分析，我認為你現在需要蘭斯先生的幫助。”
它說完，門随之流暢打開。
“統領！”蘭斯一看清裏面的情形，瞬間瞪大了眼。
只見在昏暗的房間裏，銀色長發身形瘦削的男子緊緊蜷縮在地面上，他此時全身都因為疼痛而控制不住發抖。可他的一只手還在拼命往前伸着，似乎是打算去夠智能管家的開關。
蘭斯情緒激動地沖了進來，他伸手輕輕按上反派的身體，同時聯絡耳麥裏的手下，“立刻讓‘夜莺’過來我這邊，現在。”
不。
宴北還想要阻止他，但光是忍耐疼痛就耗盡了他全部的力氣。
“蘭斯先生。”
智能管家無聲地幻化出一道數據身影在他的身後。
蘭斯沒有回頭，習以為常地問道，“剛剛是發生了什麽導致統領突然發作的。”
“我不知道，蘭斯先生，我檢測不出來，統領是在睡夢中突然驚醒的。”
“查不出異常嗎？”
“是的，蘭斯先生，僅靠我的功能沒辦法查出任何異常，拜托您幫統領做一下全面檢查一下吧。”
“這用不着你來提醒。我的人要到了，你給他開門。”蘭斯聽着耳麥那邊的訊息，在回複智能管家的同時又對着夜莺重複了一遍，“你直接進來，不用考慮別的。”
門再次打開，明亮的走廊裏，一群身着黑的“夜莺”逆着光站立。
一看見他門打開，蘭斯立刻伸手将宴北抱了起來，同時對着一人一智能說，“愛德華，打開醫療間的通道，‘夜莺’跟上來。”
方才因為頭疼昏迷過去的宴北此時又清醒了一些，迷迷糊糊間他聽見什麽醫院、檢查類的字樣，下意識就生出了逆反心理，他伸手攥住蘭斯胸前的制服，“不，不要去。”
“你說什麽？統領？”蘭斯沒聽清他說了什麽。
宴北被疼痛折磨地意識恍惚，只是嘴中不斷喃喃重複着下意識的話語，“不可以，不能去那邊，會被發現的……”
“等一下吧統領，你不要急，等醫生幫你緩解症狀後你再告訴我。”蘭斯輕輕安撫着脆弱的病人，将他放上了檢查臺。
随着藥劑的注入，宴北因為疼痛而不斷顫抖的身體慢慢平靜了下來。
這座地下醫療間是蘭斯這兩年來在皇帝和懷亞特的眼皮子底下建起來的，早在統領第一次出現異常的時候，他就在計劃着這一件事了。
他一直都懷疑帝國實驗室那邊對他的統領沒幹什麽好事，他暗中購置儀器，組建醫療隊。就是為了避開帝國實驗室，以準備随時可以接手宴北的身體檢查和治療。
但是在他做完這一切後，才發現最難的部分确實說服統領去接受檢查，這次突然不明原因的發作也算是給了他機會了。
整個隐蔽的醫療間內，除了蘭斯以外的所有人都在井然有序地忙碌着。
過了幾個小時，他們終于排查出一些結果了，有個人停下動作，來到了蘭斯的面前，蘭斯也放下手中聯絡器，因為二人的異常，懷亞特試探的信息已經發了過來，但是蘭斯此時根本不想理會他。
“是什麽原因。”蘭斯問來人。
“是一枚微型芯片。”夜莺說。
“芯片？做什麽用的？”
“還沒有搞清楚，統領腦子裏的這個東西使用的能量十分奇怪，從未見過。但是似乎是因為什麽影響了芯片從導致了病人的頭疼的病情發作。”
“能先讓他不疼嗎？”蘭斯心疼地皺起來眉。
“只要取出來應該就會停止了。”
……
托盤上一粒很小很小的東西被拿到蘭斯的面前。
“就是這個東西了，它的發信裝置似乎遭到了破壞，一直沒辦法将消息順利發送出去，是否攔截它的消息呢。”
“好，我現在就要知道這信息是傳遞給誰的。”
“查到了！”
居然是——皇宮。
-
“果然是他們做的。”
看着病床上面色蒼白昏迷不醒的宴北，蘭斯一臉冰冷地捏碎了手上的東西。
-
在取出宴北腦子裏控制了他許多年的東西以後，蘭斯又裝了個一模一樣足以瞞天過海的道具上去。
Obviously, now is not the time to lay everything out. After all, the old monster that has been lingering in the clouds of the empire for more than a hundred years is not so easy to catch.
And Lance was going to make him pay.
With a gloomy face, he sent the message.
-
On the other side, Shajia, who was lying on the hospital bed, received an unknown message.
He carefully checked the source of the message and tried to trace back to the sender, but all these methods were useless. In the end, he returned to the message itself.
The message is anonymous, but there is a tiny orchid painted on the corner?
After translating the code in the message, Shajia decided to set off without hesitation.
-
Early in the morning, when the adjutant and his team opened Shajia's ward for inspection as usual, he was stunned at the door for a moment. The people behind him didn't know what was going on and kept urging him impatiently not to block the door.
However, the adjutant standing in front did not respond to him directly. He just shook his head and then moved aside a little so that the people behind could see the situation inside clearly.
"That guy ran away again."
"Who ran away?"
The people behind looked into the room in confusion, only to see that the clean white ward was no different from when they left yesterday. Even the flowers on the bedside cabinet had not wilted much.
There was no one there except the bed.
"Ah... what a dare this guy is. He just ran away alone without even saying a word." The admiral who had been handling all matters on Shajia's behalf while she was unconscious was completely furious.
"Yeah... Looks like you have to deal with today's affairs again. Haha." A gloating voice came from the side, but the angry admiral had already turned and walked away.
The adjutant put away his smile, took one last look at the room, and gently closed the door.
In a bunch of yellow flowers in a glass bottle, a small card with a secret contact code was gently spinning in the wind.
