Chapter 124: A Generation of Pirates 11 "Another Dimension Invasion!"
Jian Ziyan is good at very few things. He is good at killing people, and even better at sailing. No matter how dangerous the waves are, he can always keep everyone on his boat safe.
There are many things he is not good at, and the thing he is worst at is showing weakness.
In the world of pirates, the strong are respected. They have no sympathy or mercy. They will not spare him just because he is young, so he never shows weakness to others, because he knows that the weaknesses he exposes will only become a weapon for others to attack him.
In order to survive, in order not to become a lamb to be slaughtered, he learned to be cruel and to kill without blinking an eye. Even if he didn't like it, he had to disguise himself as a jackal in order to survive in a world full of jackals.
But now he couldn't pretend anymore.
He was in so much pain, pain all over his body, and even more so in his heart.
The crying voice was like turning on a switch, and overwhelming grievances and sadness surged up. He shed a tear, which was a sign of his extreme weakness.
But judging from the reactions of the people in front of him, it seemed that their reactions were even greater than his.
That tear stunned them. Felix froze with red eyes. Lun took a step forward, but realized that Jian Ziyan probably didn't want to see him now. He stopped abruptly with a gloomy look on his face.
"Yan Yan..." Felix's blue eyes were full of pain and confusion, "What should I do to make you forgive me?"
Jian Ziyan looked at him, his eyes still clean and clear, just like the clear sky that could never be seen in Crescent Bay. It was this pure cleanliness that attracted him at first sight.
He thought that he had been isolated from the world since childhood, ignorant of worldly affairs, and unaware of the cruelty and calculations of human nature, so he gave him all the remaining pity and tenderness in his heart.
He was covered in traces of humiliation on the Destroyer, but the only reason he was able to stand up again was to protect his Felix. He didn't want to implicate Felix, who was living a peaceful life in Crescent Bay, because of his own reasons.
However, in fact, Felix understood everything and knew everything. He even saw things more clearly than himself, but he made a more correct choice.
Jian Ziyan said: "I just said that you did nothing wrong, why do you need to ask for my forgiveness?"
"No……"
Felix was very confused. He had been living in seclusion at the bottom of the sea for nearly a hundred years and had never tried to like someone in such a humbly way. He didn't know what to do. Only the deep panic in his heart told him that it was not possible to do so now, and Jian Ziyan would only move further and further away from him.
"I shouldn't have watched your suffering and arrogantly thought that I could control everything." Felix tried hard to express his heart. He tried to hold Jian Ziyan's hand again, as if he didn't feel the slight resistance. He held his hand tightly in his hand, as if if he held it like this, the other party could no longer escape.
But he was overwhelmed by the panic in his heart, which made his brain confused. He could only utter a simple apology, "I'm sorry..."
Jian Ziyan looked at him, his brows filled with fatigue and coldness.
He was barely nineteen years old, but at this moment he looked like an old man about to die. There was not much emotion in his dark eyes. If it weren't for his pale face that made the red at the corners of his eyes particularly obvious, the cry and tears just now would have almost seemed like an illusion.
"I received your apology." It seemed as if all his strength had drained away, along with all the emotions he should or shouldn't have had. Or rather, he should have been dead from the moment he decided to board the Destroyer. Now, even he himself didn't know what he was left in this world.
It would be better if I died at that moment. At this moment, he thought absentmindedly.
Felix's eyes lit up with hope, and he held Jian Ziyan's hand tighter: "Yanyan, have you forgiven me?"
Jian Ziyan turned his head and looked out the window.
The weather has been gloomy, as if a storm would come at any time, just like this seemingly prosperous but actually precarious country, and just like them, the marginalized little characters struggling in the times.
"Go back, Felix." He turned his gaze, "Return to your sea, obey the teachings of your ancestors, and never come out again."
Felix's hand trembled violently, and under Jian Ziyan's gaze, a crystal tear fell from his eye socket, turned into a crystal pearl in mid-air, and landed beside Jian Ziyan's hand.
"Yan Yan, don't you want me anymore?" he asked.
Jian Ziyan lowered his eyes and looked at the drop of pearl, thinking absentmindedly that this was the mermaid's tear.
Hearing Felix's words, he curled the corners of his mouth and looked up at him.
Although he was the youngest among the people present, he looked at Felix as if he was looking at an ignorant child.
"Your ancestors were so far-sighted, how come they have become fools in your generation?" Jian Ziyan said, "The fate of mankind is inevitably heading towards an extreme. Your presence will only muddy the waters. By then, even you will be implicated. How can you be worthy of your subjects?"
Felix understood what he said. Penorma's fortune had reached its peak, and it would pay a huge price for its cruelty and arrogance. However, he had fallen in love with the boy. How could he leave him alone in such a vortex?
"Let me take you away." He said eagerly, "The history of the sea people is longer than that of humans. I will ask the sea god to show his power. There must be a way to cure you, or even let you live under the sea."
"I hope you understand what you are saying, Mermaid King." Before Jian Ziyan could say anything, Lun En couldn't help but speak, "Humans are social animals. You want him to leave his tribe and live with a bunch of cold-blooded animals like you?"
"If this is the way to keep him alive, what qualifications do you have to object?" Felix didn't even raise his head. "If you are willing to accompany Penorma and wait for its demise, then go ahead. Also, don't think that I really don't dare to kill you."
The last sentence sounded chilling and chilling.
He wanted to kill the man who had forced the boy, and the very thought of it made his bones tense. If he was not 100% sure that he could save the boy, he would never have kept his life until now.
Lunn was not afraid of him at all. He sneered, "You think you can do whatever you want under the banner of doing good for him? Fish are fish. They can never have the hot blood and emotions of humans. Your selfishness makes me feel despicable and terrible."
Felix stood up suddenly, and the two men stood face to face without flinching, their eyes filled with ruthless intent to tear each other's tendons and bones apart.
Jian Anyi frowned after taking one look at them. She said nothing and her gaze fell on the young man on the bed again.
No matter how much the two men said, they could not interfere with Jian Ziyan's decision. The boy had been tough and stubborn since he was young, and no one understood him better than her.
Jian Ziyan looked calmly at the two people arguing over him, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
Jian Anyi guessed correctly, he had made the decision long ago and no one could interfere.
"Go back." Jian Ziyan said hoarsely, "Just pretend you've never seen me and go back to your country."
Felix trembled all over. No matter how much criticism he received from Len, it was not as painful as Jian Ziyan's calm words.
"Yan Yan, you don't want to believe me anymore, right?" There was uncontrollable despair in his voice, "Because I lied to you, you no longer love me, and you no longer believe in me."
Lun frowned subconsciously. He thought to himself that it was not good. Although the boy pretended to be indifferent, how could he take back such strong feelings? It was obvious that the boy had to suppress a lot of pain to still appear calm, but this fish had to poke him in the heart with every word!
"Let's stop here, Mermaid King." He said very quickly, "Jian Ziyan doesn't want to go with you, do you still want to force him to go back to the cold seabed with you!"
"Shut up!" Felix's face showed a clear murderous intent, and sharp nails grew on his fingertips. He was so angry that he pinched Lun's neck fiercely. "How dare you mention the word forced? Lun Alva, what position do you have to talk to me!"
"you……"
"That's enough."
The quiet sound immediately subdued the two men who were fighting like beasts. They froze at the same time, looked towards the bed anxiously, and became frightened at the same time.
Jian Ziyan lowered his head, and trickles of blood dripped onto the gorgeous sheets, along with some transparent liquid.
"...That's enough." He said it again, his voice trembling, "Why, why do you have to force me..."
Felix and Len immediately stopped caring about anything else. The two men who had been so vicious and cruel just now showed expressions of heartache and helplessness at the same time.
Jian Ziyan used all his strength to suppress the suffocating pain.
"Felix, you asked me to trust you, but you never believed in me. How can I trust someone who gave up on me?"
Felix loosened his grip on Lun's hand, and his sharp nails dug into his palm. Precious mermaid blood dripped down, and his face turned pale.
"I do love you, but why do you use this to torture me over and over again?" Jian Ziyan said in a trembling voice, "It's not that I don't want you, it's you who gave up on me again and again, Felix." -_-! This -_-! work -_-! is -_-! by -_-!
Even if he had thousands of righteous words and legitimate reasons, it was undeniable that in every consideration and choice, he was the one who was abandoned.
This is true for my mother and for Felix as well.
It’s funny to think that the only person who only saw Jian Ziyan from beginning to end and never deceived him was Lun En, who hurt him badly.
The mother looked at him as if she were a rebel who threatened her position.
Felix looked at him as if he were a suspected conspirator.
But they all pretended to be sincere, which made him deeply trapped in it, as if he was in a dream that he was destined to wake up from.
He didn't understand why he didn't get any kindness at all when he didn't do anything.
He has pretended well enough, why must we tear down his last cover and see his bloody and miserable heart?
Every word Jian Ziyan said was heart-wrenching. Felix felt like a fish thrown onto the shore. The pain spreading to his throat made it difficult for him to breathe. Every time he exhaled, his heart would feel a heart-wrenching pain.
At this moment he suddenly realized that the boy loved him so much, but would never forgive him again.
"I'm sorry..." He slowly knelt on one knee beside the boy's bed, and with trembling hands he wanted to wipe away his blood and tears, "I'm sorry..."
However, Jian Ziyan turned his head away.
He wiped the blood from his lips without looking at anyone.
"Get out, everyone."
"Yan Yan." Felix couldn't control the painful look on his face. How could he let the boy stay in the room alone at this time!
"go out."
The boy's voice was hoarse and full of fatigue.
"Please."
Click.
The precious mermaid's tears rolled to the floor, but no one cared.
…
【419: "Ren's forgiveness value has reached 90, what else do you plan to do?"
Jian Ziyan: "Hmm? What else do you think I will do?"
"I don't know." 419 said honestly, "But based on your style, I feel like you wouldn't be content with just this little forgiveness."
"The one who knows me best is Little Nine." Jian Ziyan said with a smile, "Such an extreme world is perfect for an uprising. The next step is of course to get our male lead back on track. As long as he can remember my name, this world will earn a lot."
"bloodletting?"
Lunn stared at the trembling court doctor with distrust.
"Yes, Admiral." The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Bleeding is an extreme method, but it is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases in the current era. Now that the young master is seriously injured and can't be cured, it might be a good idea to try this last resort..."
"He has lost so much blood.
, if you continue to release it, can you ensure that he won't bleed to death first?" Lunn asked coldly.
Felix lowered his eyes, and others could not see his expression, but since he did not object, it was clear that he rarely agreed with Lun's opinion.
Bloodletting, that sounds extremely unreliable.
"But there really is no other way now..." The doctor's voice trembled as he said this, "He is too seriously injured and subconsciously refuses treatment. There is no medicine that can effectively treat him now..."
"You mean, he refuses treatment?"
The doctor looked at the blond man who suddenly spoke. The man's voice should have been very pleasant, but now it became rough and hoarse, as if it had been scratched by something.
"Yes," the doctor said. "He has no desire to live."
Felix remained silent for a long while before he uttered a self-deprecating laugh.
"Answer my question earlier," Lunn said, "Can you guarantee that he won't bleed to death if you use bloodletting as a treatment?"
"To be honest, I can't, General." The doctor said carefully, "but compared to watching someone die like this, I think I can still struggle a little longer... Of course, the choice is up to you."
He subconsciously believed that Jian Ziyan's wishes should not be taken seriously, and that it was Lun who was in charge of the overall situation.
Lun also fell into a long silence. He looked at the only woman who had not spoken but was most qualified to express her opinion. There was some questioning in his eyes, but then he realized that this woman wished the boy would die, so why bother?
"Tell the doctor to prepare the bloodletting equipment." Unexpectedly, Jian Anyi spoke up, "First, use conservative treatment. When there is really no other way, it won't be too late to use bloodletting."
"That's odd," Lunn said. "Have you changed your mind?"
Jian Anyi pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his tone. She looked towards the tightly closed door of the inner room with her back straight.
"I once wanted him to die, but I never thought of making him suffer." She said softly, "He is my child. There are some choices I have to make, but this does not prevent me from loving him."
This statement was really contradictory, but Lun did not want to argue with her. He waved his hand to signal the doctor to make such preparations, and sank into the sofa and lit a pipe.
In the smoke, his face was tired, looking to the other side, the tall and pale man seemed to be pretending to be a mural, sticking to the wall and not moving.
Felix lowered his head. Amidst the violent emotional fluctuations, he suddenly felt some hazy fragments flash through his mind. He didn't have time to see clearly, he just felt a sharp pain in his head.
At this time, the housekeeper of the general's mansion hurried over and whispered a few words into Lun's ear.
"Duke Kate? What is he doing here?" Lunn frowned. "Didn't I tell you that I'm not going to see anyone?"
"It seems that the news that you, General, have captured Captain Jane has spread." The butler said in embarrassment, "Duke Kate is usually the most lewd and decadent. He refused to leave no matter what and made some very... jokes at the door."
The other party was a noble with status and real power. He, a mere butler, had no power to expel him by force, so he had to come and disturb Lunn.
Lun almost forgot about this and his face turned grim.
Previously, in order to undermine Jian Ziyan's pride, he allowed rumors to spread when nothing had happened. Now that he has been found out, he can only say that he has reaped the consequences.
"I'll deal with him." Lunn stood up. "Don't let anyone in there hear this noise."
Felix fought against the headache. Even though he wanted to kill the Duke, he didn't want to leave Jian Ziyan's side, but a voice sounded in his heart.
Follow up.
That voice had a magical power that could not be disobeyed. Felix's pupils blurred for a moment, and a red light flashed that no one saw. He actually raised his leg and followed.
…
"Admiral Lunn, my old friend!"
The fat duke with a big belly smiled at Lun when he saw him, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
Lunn said coldly, "Duke Kate. I've been quite busy lately, so I'm afraid I can't entertain you well enough. If you don't have anything important to do, please go back first."
Duke Kate didn't expect that before he could even open his mouth, Lunn skipped even the basic courtesy and started to chase him away, and his smile immediately disappeared.
"It seems that the mysterious oriental black pearl really satisfied the general." He said meaningfully, with a lustful light in his eyes. "How is it? Does it taste good? Is it worth the whole Penorma nobles' longing for it for so many years?"
Lun's eyes suddenly became sharp, he gritted his teeth, and told himself not to touch this disgusting thing yet, and only then did he barely suppress his anger.
But he immediately remembered that he had done the same thing before, facing Jian Ziyan with such a contemptuous and insulting attitude. His heart suddenly trembled, and all his anger just now subsided.
He had no right to call Duke Kate disgusting.
"I don't know where you heard these rumors, but I didn't catch the captain of the famous giant Ghost." Lunn said coldly, wanting to send the man away first.
Duke Kate narrowed his eyes and said, "General, I know that beauties are hard to come by, and such a powerful beauty is even harder to come by. I don't mind you trying it first, but I want to let me share it after you get tired of it. If you continue to perfunctorily treat me like this, I'm afraid it's not very nice of you."
Lun En's heart was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were red from holding it in. He stared straight at Duke Kate and said, "I did catch Jian Ziyan before, but he escaped later. Didn't you hear about it?"
After all, he was a pampered aristocrat. When Duke Kate saw his eyes that looked like they came from hell, he suddenly felt a little scared of his arrogance.
“Is that so…”
After all, Lunn was a powerful official who controlled the power of life and death in Penorma, and his ruthless methods were well-known throughout the country. Duke Kate did not dare to confront him face to face. He was about to say that he would wait until the person was caught before talking about it, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Felix standing behind him.
Felix stood silently behind Lun. He had a handsome, pale and cold face. Although he had a noble temperament, he was a stranger and must not be a noble.
Duke Kate's eyes lit up, his thoughts turned several circles in an instant, and his hand reached out to Felix.
"Is this person new here too? General Lunn, you are so mean to hide so many beauties in your mansion..."
A cold light flashed, and Duke Kate's words came to an abrupt end.
He felt his vision rapidly lowering and rolling, and with a bang, he saw a headless corpse splattered with blood, seemingly wearing his own clothes...
Before he could even show his fear, Duke Kate was beheaded and died in the admiral's reception room.
Lun was startled, turned his head suddenly, and met a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Felix..."
Before he could finish his words, the strong sense of crisis he had developed on the battlefield suddenly flooded his body. However, a force of absolute oppression suppressed him tightly, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Slowly lowering his head, he saw a pale arm piercing his chest. When he tried to open his mouth, blood gushed out of his mouth.
"You are not... Felix." Lunn stared into the man's red eyes, "Who are you?"
The other party did not answer him, but just let him slip from his arms and fall to the ground.
"Anyone who hurts Ayan must die."
Felix murmured, he raised his head and identified the direction to the inner room as if he was here for the first time.
At this moment in the room, Jian Ziyan, who was happily playing games in the consciousness space, was almost deafened by the sudden alarm sound.
[“Strong alert! Strong alert! The space is invaded by another dimension, invaded by another dimension!”
Jian Ziyan suddenly jumped up like a fish whose tail was poked, hugged 419 and started shaking: "What's wrong? What's going on?!"
419 also made a warning beeping sound, and said in fear: "I don't know! I didn't receive any instructions..."
At this time, Jian Ziyan's task panel was forcibly opened. At the position that marked the world's danger level, the original S sign flashed and turned into a blazing red asterisk.
Jian Ziyan was stunned. He subconsciously turned on the surveillance camera and saw a man with blond hair and red eyes, covered in blood, slowly walking towards the outer hall.
In front of him, Jian Anyi slowly stood up and met the man's strange scarlet eyes. 】
