"My current identity is Gu Dan. But many years ago, my name was Xing Yucheng." As Xing Yucheng spoke, he removed the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance. The mask, now separated from his human face, transformed into a card.
"You weren't here—when did you come back to life?" A look of surprise flashed across Ning Jue's face.
"Six or seven years ago."
"Then why did you hide it from me?"
"We met once six years ago. You saw my condition then; I could die at any moment. The more people know, the more they'll worry, right?"
Ning Jue certainly remembered this incident six years ago on the starship of Kayun Star.
"No wonder she refused to tell me back then, it turns out..."
"But now I wish you had known it was me back then."
"What do you mean?" Ning Jue's smile faded, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I owe that girl two lives."
"Xiao Han? She spent six years curing you?" Ning Jue realized that Lian Han had been wandering for six years, not to relax but to save people.
Xing Yucheng paused for a moment, then said, "She saved my life."
Ning Juejingli: !?
"What's the meaning?"
"It means what you understand. A method of saving lives by exchanging one's own."
"Where is she?" Ning Jue's face turned pale.
“The Ice Clan, to her mother’s place,” Xing Yucheng replied.
"What's going on? Where did this method of exchanging lives for lives come from? Teacher, please explain yourself clearly."
"It's a talent for mental power. You all have top-tier talents, including Word Power, Purification, and even my Spatial Leap. But Xiao Han's talent is called Sacrifice."
"sacrifice?"
"Similar to her grafting card, but—to give an analogy, if you are injured, she can heal you, but in return, she will suffer the same degree of damage."
"If she gets injured, she can transfer her damage to..."
“No. If it were possible, it wouldn’t be a sacrifice. Sacrifice is a completely self-destructive ability. That’s why Xiaohan has never used it, and has said she would never use it in her life.” Even now, thinking about it, Xing Yucheng still feels heavy-hearted.
"So your physical condition has reversed now?"
Xing Yucheng shook his head, "Her situation is more serious now than it was for me six years ago."
"Isn't it an equal transfer?"
Xing Yucheng closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa. "What do you think made me able to hold on for six years? A miracle? So miracles are all man-made."
"She started using sacrifices to prolong her life six years ago?" Jing Li's expression changed.
"Yes, this girl was already prepared to die six years ago."
The thought that this trip was his idea made Jingli's face turn pale. He only thought that his junior sister cared about her teacher and would take good care of him, but he didn't think that his injuries would worsen, and how she would take care of him.
So he just watched her sacrifice herself for him? Ning Jue knew he shouldn't think like this. Since Lian Han had decided to do this, she was likely keeping it a secret from his brother the whole time. He was probably even more worried than her now—but he just couldn't control his thoughts. Ning Jue took a deep breath and asked, "And what about her now?"
"She's asleep. Her mother used the Ice Clan's ice source, and her condition has begun to improve, but no one knows exactly when she'll wake up," Xing Yucheng replied.
At least they were still alive. The two breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Xing Yucheng slowly said, "That silly girl always thought that my appearance more than ten years ago sealed her rampaging spiritual power, making me her savior. But in reality, with that little guy Xingye by her side, even if her spiritual power went berserk, nothing would happen. And if she hadn't happened to go berserk, I would have already disappeared back then. She never owed me anything; on the contrary, I was..."
"Teacher, it's my fault. If I hadn't suggested that you all go for a walk together, she wouldn't be like this now."
“The whole story has been explained. I will keep my information to myself for now. In the meantime, you should all keep an eye out for ways to save them. If Bingyuan doesn’t work, we won’t be completely helpless.”
After Xing Yucheng finished speaking, he put his mask back on and got up to leave.
"where did you go?"
"The Ling family apologizes."
“I’ll go too.” Fearing that the Ling family would make things difficult for him, Jingli stood up.
Xing Yucheng gave him a cold look. "Adding you to the mix makes it not an apology, but an attempt to put pressure on him."
"But your health..."
"Get out of here. I could take on ten of you in my prime."
Jingli: ...
Watching him leave, the remaining two exchanged glances, wondering, "Shall we sit down?"
When did she tell you who I am?
"After the teacher woke up."
"I will be setting off for the North soon. Let me know if there is any news."
Jingli nodded. "I understand, the general is very busy. But once Major General Li is trained, you'll be free."
Ning Jue said nothing, got up and left...
On a certain planet, in a hidden underground palace.
"Have you found it?" The man's voice was still gentle and pleasant.
"Still no signal. She might not be in the Federation," Yi Jun replied.
"No signal? Not in the Federation?" The man repeated his words, then chuckled. "Then I'll go find her myself. It's rare to see her so weak; this is a good opportunity."
What kind of good opportunity? Of course, it's a good opportunity for brainwashing.
"How are things in the North?"
"The Nightbringers' successive attacks have thoroughly enraged the Zerg. We don't need to do anything; they've already begun secretly assembling their army."
Where is it?
"The North".
"The North, huh? Then let's give our General another grand gift."
The Zerg and human front should advance; consider it a warning to humanity. And if any of the troublemakers can be eliminated as well, that would be even better.
Yi Jun kept his head down, not daring to make the slightest sound unless the other person asked a question, for fear of attracting the other person's attention again...
"The night is so beautiful."
The girl walked through the alley, ignoring the shouts, groans, and cries for help around her, letting the faint red stains fall on her body, and occasionally looking up at the red moon in the night sky.
The blood-red full moon is an ominous sign, but it is perfectly suited as a satellite of the Black Prison Star.
Because this is a planet shrouded in blood and sin.
"The moonlight was just as beautiful that day." The girl was unusually dressed today in a white gauze dress, with a matching white veil covering her face, both of which were veiled in a faint red glow under the red moon.
She walked in, covered in blood, like a grim reaper emerging from hell.
Xiao Ya remained silent, not daring to interrupt her self-talk. Seriously, at this moment, anyone who messed with the host was doomed, right?
If the girl is usually as tense as a string, then now she has relaxed that string, letting herself be enveloped by long-accumulated negative emotions, letting herself be immersed in sadness and hatred. At this moment, the girl is beautiful, crazy, and dangerous.
Only by venting those emotions can she return to her normal self. And the targets of her venting—those guys—even if they die, they deserve it…
