Chapter 87 Do you also think I'm losing control of my mind?
"The treatment is over. Do you have any other questions?"
Lilith said this with a refreshed look, looking down at the sentry who had turned into a puddle of mud, and blinked in a good mood.
"Ah, right away."
The man on the ground came to his senses and got up, then looked around in confusion with red ears.
"Um...cleaning..."
"The treatment room will be cleaned by robots. By the way, please tidy up your clothes."
By the way, if the uniforms are damaged, the Marching Army should reimburse them, right?
Without looking at the frantic sentry, Lilith recorded the data of this attempt on her computer.
"The healing time for an A-level is almost twice that of a B-level, but the improvement in mental power has more than tripled. It seems that the higher the level, the more mental power I consume, and the more obvious the improvement effect."
"Okay, it's decided. I'll focus on A-level healing, and the more B-level the better. If I keep doing this, my mental strength should improve quickly."
As for the S-level sentinels, Lilith had no idea. Sentinels of this level all had their own guides and it was impossible for them to come looking for her.
Unless they are new recruits.
Her eyes dimmed slightly. Xie Huan was also among those recruited. He belonged to the Extreme Danger Elimination Group and was the instructor of the second team. His working hours were the same as the other sentries.
As long as she rests when Xie Huan is on his day off, there is absolutely no chance that the two of them will run into each other. Don't worry.
As for Shen Jiaxu, he chose the first team to face the danger and explore the contaminated area in depth. Alice was also there, so he didn't need to settle for the rest.
Qi Hanxing and Si Jue... let them think she was dead. The temporary heartbeat seemed like a dream. She couldn't give up her heart, and it was also difficult for her to bear the seemingly blazing love.
That was too much for her.
The days in the contaminated area were a little easier than she had thought. She had gotten used to being woken up by Louis occasionally, opening her eyes to take a look at him before continuing to sleep.
Because her level was not high, most of the sentries that came to her were B-level, and there was only one A-level sentinel, Jim.
Come to think of it, she thought that after such a rough and embarrassing treatment last time, the other party would never want to see her again.
She shook her head and got off work on time at five o'clock. When she opened the door, a dark shadow appeared in front of her eyes. Her heart suddenly shrank. She almost thought it was that guy Louis again.
It wasn't until she saw the black eyes clearly that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fu Sui, why is it you?"
Fu Sui did not answer. His eyes looked a little strange, a mixture of chaos and disorder. The veins on his forehead bulged as he stared at Lilith.
It was not a good idea to talk outside. A sentry who was taking a break looked over lazily.
Most importantly, she felt that Fu Sui was in some danger. At least in the treatment room, she could control him. Lilith took a step back and returned to her "workstation".
"Come in and talk."
Fu Sui followed in silently and stood not far from her.
"What happened to you? Did the exploration of the contaminated area go badly?"
As far as she knew, Fu Sui came to the contaminated area to look for someone, someone very important to him. Seeing how distraught he looked, could it be that person was dead?
After all, Fu Sui was her partner, and it was perfect for her to use him to fool Louis. Lilith kindly and generously imitated him and patted his shoulder.
"If you have any sad things, you can tell me. Although I may not be able to help solve it, I can share your worries."
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, she didn't rush, took the black tea brought by the little robot, and leaned lazily on the soft fabric sofa.
After several minutes, Fu Sui finally spoke with difficulty.
"I don't know. I want to return to the place I remember, but the sentries on the front line said it's a heavily polluted area and we can't get close."
So the clues are broken? But it's not that depressing, right?
Lilith thought to herself, nodded encouragingly, and guided,
"Then what?"
"Then I asked him when it became a heavily polluted area, and he said it has always been like this."
“It’s always been…”
Fu Sui's voice was trembling. Lilith had never heard him sound so uneasy and confused. It was as if the belief she had always believed in was shattered.
"The contaminated area has existed for over a hundred years, and the heavily contaminated area is even further from the empire's borders. In the very center, no one has ever emerged alive, let alone a child. Your Highness said I must have remembered it wrongly."
But he clearly remembered everything that happened at that time. He and Xie Huan got lost in the fog, met the Federation people, and met the girl while escaping.
His memory might be confused, but what about Xie Huan? It's impossible for both of them to have misremembered it, right?
No, that's not right. Could the area they were in at that time really be the border of the empire? How could there be no stationed troops at such a close distance? How could they encounter people from the Federation so easily?
"So, you're saying that you and Xie Huan encountered the same mental illusion? Or perhaps, mental pollution?"
When one is in a trance, it is indeed easy to have memory confusion. Lilith was a little shocked. It seems that the influence of the contaminated area is much more serious than she imagined.
"No, it can't be an illusion!"
Fu Sui suddenly became excited and pressed her shoulders.
"I remember her long black hair, her gentle light brown eyes, and the back of her pushing the oil drum away... This can't be an illusion, it can't be!"
"You also think I remembered it wrongly?"
The black eyes became deep, and a sneer appeared on Fu Sui's lips.
Something is wrong, Lilith thought.
There is definitely something wrong with Fu Sui's condition. It has only been about five days since he joined the Long March Army. Could he have been wandering around the heavily polluted area?
Lilith's fingertips moved lightly behind her back, trying to press the button to activate the hypnotic gas.
But how could her actions be hidden from the sentry with strong five senses? Almost at the moment she intended to do so, Fu Sui's hand immediately slid down from her shoulder and directly clasped her fingertips.
The sentry's strength was always unreasonable, especially when he didn't know how to control it, his knuckles had to squeeze through the gaps between her knuckles.
"You don't believe me, do you think I'm losing my mind?"
Fu then lowered his body and lifted Lilith's chin.
"How can you understand how important she is to me? She is my savior, the person I am willing to give up everything to find. I will not let anyone who tries to deny her existence go!"
Her jaw was pinched painfully and her hands were held down, but Lilith was not unable to move. She bent her knees and pushed forward.
When Fu Sui groaned and swayed backward, she immediately pressed the hypnotic gas release switch.
