Chapter 081 Mad Scientist 13 Can’t guess, can’t keep it.
For a few seconds, Shen Ke stared blankly at Jian Ziyan's palm, unable to react to what it was.
When he realized what it was, his face turned pale little by little.
There was a suffocating silence in the air. Jian Ziyan withdrew his hand and seemed to open his lips to say something, but remained silent.
But Chen Ke looked so miserable. He opened his mouth in vain, his eyes showed endless despair, yet contained a glimmer of hope.
He asked, "Is it me...?"
It's actually like saying, "Please, save me."
Jian Ziyan looked at him and did not answer the question. Instead, he struggled to stand up and got out of bed.
"I'll go record the results of the experiment," he said.
After he left the room, suppressed sobs were heard from inside, followed by heart-wrenching roars.
After seeing the mark of the flame, Shen Ke understood everything.
That was his karmic fire, which he created with his own hands.
The karma fire entered into Jian Ziyan's body.
The Karma Fire is so overbearing that once it enters the carrier, there is no way to take it out except its host Chen Ke. It will flow in the carrier until the carrier is burned into ruins, and then it will break away from the carrier and return to the host's body.
Chen Ke had always known the horror of his special ability, and he would not easily use it unless it was someone extremely vicious. However, he forgot that when he captured Jian Ziyan, he had no intention of letting him live.
The causes back then led to the results today.
If Jian Ziyan didn't know that he didn't have much time left, he wouldn't be so eager to catch up with the progress, nor would he use his body for research so recklessly.
He knew he was going to be too late.
Chen Ke knelt on the ground, one hand tightly grasping the clothes on his chest. He stared at the ground, his eyes blurred.
He wanted to cry out, to scream, to destroy everything in front of him.
But his chest was filled with so much pain and self-blame that he could only utter dry and monotonous syllables, unable to even vent.
Because his emotions were too unstable, hellfire slowly emerged from his body. He was like a huge fireball, and everything around him slowly burned. The scorching temperature even spread outside.
If he continues like this, he will soon be devoured by the karmic fire and burned to ashes.
“…Chen Ke, Chen Ke!”
Shen Ke felt as if he received Jian Ziyan's voice in his buzzing ears, but he curled himself up even deeper instead.
He was too ashamed to see Xiao Yan. It was he who harmed him and ruined everything...
"Dr. Jane, don't go in! Ordinary people can't touch the fire of hell at all. You will be burned to ashes immediately!"
"Let me go."
Feeling a familiar breath getting closer and closer to him, Shen Ke's chaotic brain suddenly became clear, and then he began to panic.
"Xiao Yan, back off...back off!"
He finally screamed out, and at the same time quickly regained control of the hellfire and gathered it back into his body.
He lay on the ground, gasping violently. He raised his hazy eyes to look upward and felt a cold, slender hand pressing against his forehead.
"Chen Ke, are you awake?"
It’s his Xiao Yan.
Even though he had harmed him to this point, he did not give up on him and came to save him.
Chen Ke was stunned and speechless, tears streaming from his wide-open eyes.
Why save him? He should die as a token of his guilt.
He doesn't deserve it, Xiaoyan, he doesn't deserve it.
Jian Ziyan gently stroked Chen Ke's hair and placed his head on his lap.
"Chen Ke, this is not your fault." He said, "We are all bearing the blame for other people's crimes now. What I did was my own choice. It has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
"You are still comforting me now." Chen Ke's eyes were dull, and only tears could not stop flowing, "It was me... who hurt you."
Jian Ziyan's eyes softened: "I said, I won't comfort people, I will only speak out what I think is right."
Chen Ke's eyes finally came into focus. After seeing Jian Ziyan's pale face clearly, he gasped rapidly, revealing endless pain.
"Xiao Yan..." He stretched out his hands tremblingly, and gently and carefully wrapped his arms around Jian Ziyan's waist, like a baby bird that accidentally fell out of the nest, showing his incomparable dependence and helplessness, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan..."
He called out the name over and over again, as if this person would never leave him as long as he called out.
"I'm here, I'm here." Jian Ziyan replied repeatedly, "Chen Ke, I'm here."
Shen Ke sobbed and cried bitterly.
Behind them, the people who heard the noise and rushed to put out the fire had tears in their eyes.
Yu Hui wiped his eyes and waved to the others: "Let's all go and leave them two alone for a while."
The crowd came and dispersed, leaving only the two people hugging each other tightly.
After a while, Chen Ke stood up and undressed Jian Ziyan with trembling fingers.
Jian Ziyan let him do whatever he wanted, since there was nothing to hide now anyway.
When he saw the shocking wounds again, Chen Ke's eyes were filled with intense pain. He hesitated with his fingertips suspended in the air over the wounds, his voice choked with despair.
"How could you have the heart to do that..."
"This is the most effective method." Jian Ziyan held his fingers, "Don't look at it, it doesn't look good either."
However, Chen Ke held his hand firmly in return. He stared at the scars intently, as if he wanted to carve each one into his heart.
"Even Xu Guanglei has never been so cruel to you, Xiaoyan, you are really cruel." Chen Ke's voice was hoarse, and it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying, "You obviously have the softest heart, but you are only so cruel to yourself."
"I just want to achieve my own goal." Jian Ziyan said, "I only know how to do this one thing, and that is to do it well. This is my pride and persistence."
Chen Ke closed his eyes with difficulty, trying not to let the resentment that was almost hatred in his heart show.
What about me?
He wanted to ask.
While you were doing these things you insisted on doing, did you ever think of me for a moment?
But he didn't dare ask.
He had no right to question Jian Ziyan, let alone force anything. From the very beginning when they were together, he knew that he would never be able to get Jian Ziyan's love in his lifetime. What right did he have to question him now?
What's more, he was the one who forced him into this state. Why should he hate, feel unwilling, or care?
Chen Ke let out a heart-wrenching laugh and said, "Okay, whatever you want to do, I'll help you."
…
Jian Ziyan's body had reached its critical point, and after suddenly collapsing one day, he never recovered.
It took less than half a month for him to go from being able to stand to being able to move around in a wheelchair.
However, he never left the laboratory for a day and never stopped researching.
Since he couldn't hold the instrument steadily with his own hands, he gave it to Chen Ke. Chen Ke was his hands, his legs, and an extension of his body. Only Chen Ke could meet his requirements perfectly.
They are like two swords, each of them has an extremely dazzling light, but they do not overshadow each other. When they are together, it seems that there is nothing they cannot do.
It's not that the others were unaware of Jian Ziyan's physical condition, but even Chen Ke couldn't persuade him, and the others were powerless. They could only watch Jian Ziyan getting weaker day by day, but his eyes were getting brighter day by day. The fire burning from the depths of his soul was enough to make people ignore his weak appearance. In the eyes of others, he was hot and tall, like a giant standing tall.
However, what outsiders don’t know is that the pressure and pain Shen Ke faces are much greater than they imagined.
"I don't have enough blood. Please draw some more." Jian Ziyan said as he started to wrap a tourniquet around his thin arm.
Shen Ke was motionless.
Jian Ziyan used his teeth to help himself tie it up, then looked up at him and said, "Come on."
Chen Ke had a gloomy look on his face. No matter how much he wanted to reject Jian Ziyan, after seeing his silent urging look, he still walked over with heavy steps.
His body seemed to no longer be his own. Blood was mechanically drawn from that overly thin arm and stored mechanically.
"We are almost successful, we must not give up at this time." Jian Ziyan saw his rejection, "Chen Ke, hold on."
Shen Ke, who was pretending to be in blood, trembled, and he almost threw the things in his hands out, threw everything on the laboratory table to the ground, and yelled that he didn't want to hold on any longer, he couldn't stand it anymore.
But his remaining sanity stopped him, and he saved the blood meticulously, his eyes red and his voice calm.
"Okay," he said.
Gradually, Jian Ziyan couldn't even sit up.
He began to vomit blood frequently because his entire body had been burned by the karmic fire. He could not eat or even drink water, and Shen Ke could only moisten his lips with a cotton swab.
But how long can this last?
Shen Ke's breath became more and more desperate day by day. While he tried his best to maintain Jian Ziyan's life, he followed Jian Ziyan's instructions and continued to advance the experimental process. He didn't even know how he persisted.
He wanted to give up again and again, wanted to take Jian Ziyan away to a place where no one knew, and then die quietly together, just the two of them, without having to research vaccines or care about the world and the people.
The person he loves is about to die. Even if everyone in the world can survive, what does it have to do with him?
Jian Ziyan didn't know that in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Ke had become extremely terrifying, and no one dared to talk to him except Yu Hui.
He no longer has the energy.
When the first batch of vaccines were put into clinical trials, Jian Ziyan had already fallen into a coma and was only awake for two or three hours a day.
In order to maintain his life, Shen Ke tried various methods, even feeding him his own blood and letting him eat his own flesh in an attempt to draw out the karmic fire, but all these methods failed.
However, what is frightening is that towards the end, Shen Ke becomes calmer.
He stayed by Jian Ziyan's bed all day and all night, his eyes gentle and infatuated, and no one dared to disturb him.
Every time Jian Ziyan woke up from a long sleep, he would see his face at first sight.
"Xiao Yan, you're awake." Shen Ke seemed very happy.
Jian Ziyan hummed lightly: "Vaccine, how is the effect?"
"When have you ever failed in anything you make?" Chen Ke said gently, "We succeeded. The world no longer needs to be afraid of zombies."
There was a look of relief in Jian Ziyan's eyes.
After completing the final goal, the vitality that was already lingering on quickly drained away from his body. He and Shen Ke both knew that today was the day.
Chen Ke's lips trembled, but he still tried to smile. He held Jian Ziyan's hand and said, "Xiao Yan, before you leave, can you answer my question truthfully?"
Jian Ziyan turned his eyes to look at him with difficulty: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Shen Ke smiled, a tear falling from his eyes.
"Xiao Yan, have you really never had any feelings for me?"
Jian Ziyan stared at him for a long time, which made him panic. If there was no light in Jian Ziyan's eyes, he would even think that he was gone.
"Chen Ke." Jian Ziyan's voice was vague and hoarse, full of the powerlessness of an old man. "I have never understood feelings, but I think I have experienced the most precious feelings in the world."
"I have no feelings for this world, but you do."
"This vaccine is my last gift to you."
After saying this, he let out a long sigh, the light faded from his eyes, and he stared at Chen Ke motionlessly.
Shen Ke waited for a long time, and waited for a long time.
He sat by the bed, watching over someone who would never wake up again, and smiled sadly.
"Xiao Yan, you say you don't understand feelings, but every word you say is so affectionate."
"You kept me guessing your thoughts until you died, you bad guy."

The author has something to say:
At least it was because I was seriously injured by my aunt, so I had to take it easy, take it easy...
This part should be finished tomorrow.
Whether Jian Ziyan in this world is attracted to Shen Ke, probably no one knows except Jian Ziyan himself.
