Chapter 118 Curse, Punishment and Nightmare
"call……"
Louis sat up suddenly, making so much noise that Colin, who was on duty outside, asked through the door.
"Your Highness, are you having a nightmare again?"
"Um."
After whispering a response, in the darkness, Louis looked at his fingertips, which seemed to still retain the warmth of holding hands. The scorching flames in his dreams were his eternal nightmare.
Since twenty years ago, he has fallen into the same dream every night. In the dream, he ran away with his sister, but he watched her being surrounded by pollutants in order to save him again and again.
But today was a little different. My sister, who never spoke, spoke.
Even blamed him for not running away quickly,
The way she held herself was also very stiff and rough, like picking up a long weapon.
"Did I miss my sister so much that I subconsciously manipulated my dreams and made her escape from the flames?"
Louis didn't understand, but the dream was strange enough to begin with, and now it had only changed a little bit, so maybe it wasn't surprising.
Moreover, whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of his sister's gentle smile. How could she make such a cruel judgment in such a gentle voice?
Those who are saved will live in regret forever. It is a gift, a curse, and a punishment.
From then on, he embarked on the journey of finding his sister and never stopped for a moment.
"Your Highness...are you really not considering arranging a guide to provide spiritual counseling? Is your spiritual sea..."
"Don't say anything more, Colin. If you try to persuade me, I'll send you away."
Colin's eyes dimmed, he sighed and stopped talking.
There was actually no fire in the contaminated area. Those flames were just projections of Louis's dreams. Day after day, year after year, they grew from weak flames into blazing flames.
His sister's departure was his nightmare, and finding her became his obsession. His spiritual sea had already overlapped with his dream and could no longer be separated.
The black sewage is about to cover the entire spiritual realm, and the flames will one day burn everything.
Lewis didn't tell anyone that his spiritual sea had been damaged to the point where it was almost impossible to repair. Every day, every dream, he would feel the pain of being burned by fire.
It was only a matter of time before he lost control. He had already made up his mind. If he couldn't find his sister, he would walk into the contaminated area at the last moment, separate his spirit body, and end his life.
"This way, I can always be with my sister."
Louis stroked the lines on the quilt, and suddenly thought of the bionic man created with his sister's genes.
He frowned and raised his voice to ask,
"What about R? What has she been doing lately?"
He gave her a vacation and then ignored her. That guy was completely different from her gentle and strong sister. He was cold and weak.
"You mean that... B-level guide? She's been treating eleven sentinels for the past three days. Professor Xie went to her to experiment with the guide spirit potion tonight. The data has been sent to me."
Colin paused.
"He was going to give it to you personally, but two new sentries called him away."
"New sentinels? Ah, those two latecomers. Looks like they've finally given up on looking for their sister? I thought they were going to run away."
Louis sneered, but Colin didn't dare to refute. After all, no one dared to challenge the imperial power. If the two sentinels really escaped, they would probably become wanted criminals immediately. He thought about it and reported to His Highness.
"I've already arranged for them to join the Extreme Danger Elimination Team and head to the dangerous area marked by the Exploration Team. Do you have any other plans?"
Si Jue was the top student in the individual soldier department. Although Qi Hanxing had just enrolled, his combat performance in the virtual space was always very high, so he was also arranged to join.
The places that the elimination team entered were extremely dangerous. Although there were sufficient protective equipment, it would still be a bit difficult for two new recruits to go there right away.
"Give it a try first. If it doesn't work, send it to the exploration team for some training. By the way, who are they looking for?"
"She seems to be the daughter of the Catelyn family, but I heard she was taken away by mistake. Her name is also Lilith. I'm not often on the Central Star, so I'm not sure."
Colin spoke cautiously, and Louis then remembered that he seemed to have heard this name before, but there were probably more than ten thousand girls named Lilith on the Central Star. He had long passed the stage of being stressed by hearing a name.
"This name is really common... Let Will look up this Lilith and send her information. No, let her check it first. I'll ask her when I have time."
"Regarding R... never mind. If she has any applications, you can approve them at your discretion. I don't want to see her for the time being."
"yes."
After hearing Colin's reply, Louis closed his eyes tiredly. It was still dark, so he could still get some sleep. In his dream of a blazing fire,
But this time he closed his eyes and fell asleep until dawn.
…
"So early..."
Lilith patted the home robot to stop making noises, then slowly washed herself and took the nutrient solution in her mouth.
"I'm so sleepy. Why should I go to work? I even had nightmares in the middle of the night that kept me running for ages."
She closed her eyes and bit the nutrient solution, but almost spit it out.
"Pah! Why does it taste like mushrooms!"
After cursing the person distributing the nutrient solution, Lilith opened the door fully armed, thought for a moment, and then stuffed the remaining one or two potions into her bag.
Anyway, Xie Huan didn't ask her for it, so she took it with her just in case.
The first team led by Robbins had not yet assembled. Seeing her hurriedly rushing over, they all looked up at the sky and the ground, but did not dare to look at her.
"Sorry, am I late?"
“…”
No one spoke. Lilith tilted her head in confusion. Robbins coughed lightly and took her backpack.
"No, there are still fifteen minutes left. Actually, you don't have to come so early. Lanqi always likes to be late."
"Captain, I heard you saying bad things about me."
Like a ghost, Lanqi emerged from the body, staring at Robbins angrily, and then quickly passed by the girl covered in black robes.
"R, hello."
Why is everyone so shy? No, why isn't Shen Jiaxu here? If she had known he was going on a mission, she wouldn't have worn this bulky helmet.
Lilith was about to ask when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Um, sorry..."
The girl turned her head stiffly.
The silver-haired, red-eyed boy stopped in front of her and spoke in his usual polite tone.
"I'm a new recruit in the elimination team. The captain asked me to ask Captain Robbins for a new danger zone map."
