In the kingdom of fairies, Kaka, the king of fairies, is inspecting the wards of the infected.
This ward has been built for hundreds of years and has always been covered by a barrier, specifically for treating infections caused by "darkness".
Every infected fairy will be isolated and monitored by other fairies 24 hours a day.
Kaka's hand gently touched the glass window, and his eyes stayed on the fairy girl who was quietly staying in the room. Through the transparent glass window, the situation in the room was clearly visible.
The elf girl in the room is called Ye Ye. She is still very young by the age of fairies, but she rushes to the front line of building a temporary seal without hesitation, doing her best and exceeding the task.
But in the end, the goddess of luck did not favor this diligent girl.
Unfortunately, Ye Ye was still stained with "darkness". This "darkness" was like a ball of black flame that would never be extinguished, continuously burning her thin wings.
Fortunately, the darkness did not penetrate too deeply, and as long as we take some time to defend ourselves, the darkness will not spread further.
While Kaka was looking at Ye Ye, Ye Ye was also looking at him.
Ye Ye endured the pain from her wings and smiled at their king. Little did she know that her poor acting skills were seen through by Kaka. No matter how beautiful her smile was, it could not hide the pain coming from her body.
Trying to calm his heart, Kaka smiled at Ye Ye who was on the other side of the glass wall. Only if he remained optimistic could the girl on the other side of the ward remain optimistic.
everything will get better.
Kaka wanted to tell the girl this, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't say them. He couldn't guarantee it at all.
After leaving Ye Ye's ward, Kaka walked forward a few steps and arrived in front of another ward.
The fairy staying in the room had one arm completely swallowed by the "darkness" and twisted into a black tentacle resembling an octopus.
The goblin in the room had a ferocious expression, as if he was fighting against something.
His condition is not optimistic, his body has undergone abnormal changes.
If he cannot bear it with his willpower, this change will spread throughout his body and further deteriorate, causing him to be corrupted into a strange creature that wanders aimlessly, destroys everything, and has a liquid as thick as oil flowing through its body.
Kaka pursed his lips and clenched his fists. The people were clearly suffering, but he could do nothing about it.
"Your Majesty, the statistics are out." The clumsy secretary Sisi stumbled through the long and narrow ward corridor and handed the document in her hand to Kaka, "A total of 567 goblins have been infected by darkness. Among them, 412 were slightly injured, 77 were alienated, and the rest were completely corrupted."
Kaka did not take the document, but asked directly: "Among the corrupted fairies, are there any who have escaped from darkness with their own will?"
Once things enter the corruption stage, they become difficult to recover, but not irreversible.
Among the corrupted, there was a small group of goblins who, after being corrupted, miraculously escaped from the darkness and regained their self-awareness.
The fairy miraculously regained her self-awareness, and for some reason, she will no longer be disturbed by the "darkness" again.
The goblins didn't know how they did it. They just felt that they had a very long dream. After waking up, they couldn't remember the content of the dream at all.
The principle of how these fairies regain consciousness is still unclear, but fairies like them who will not be infected by "darkness" again can greatly reduce the pressure on the ward and can take care of other infected people wholeheartedly without being infected themselves.
Unfortunately, there are only a handful of people who have been corrupted and miraculously regained consciousness, and even if they fill their schedules, they will not be able to take care of more people.
Kaka has always hoped that there would be a fairy who could completely walk out of the "darkness" and understand its principles. This would prevent the continuous birth of extremely dangerous corrupt individuals and would also save him from having to endure the inner torment.
Sensing the hope in Kaka's eyes, Sisi couldn't bear to break it, but she still reported the numbers to Kaka truthfully.
"Your Majesty, no one has yet escaped corruption."
“Really?” Kaka was not surprised by the result, but he could not hide the disappointment in his eyes. “Continue to observe for a few days. Someone will definitely be able to defeat the ‘darkness’. They have just been corrupted not long ago. You must have faith in them. If things really develop to an uncontrollable state, I will be responsible for personally going over to put an end to them.”
No matter how clumsy she was, Sisi still sensed the monarch's inner struggle from Kaka's words.
Every corrupted person is their compatriot. How can they not be painful when they have to personally deprive the lives of these soldiers who once fought on the front line
Sisi tried to comfort Kaka, "Your Majesty, I believe everything will be fine. Humans should come to help us soon. With their help, things should be resolved quickly as before."
Kaka frowned and sighed.
It will take at least a week for the humans to send someone over. They say they need to hold a conference to select talents.
The goblins risked their lives to control the continued expansion of the "darkness", however, humans are still prioritizing their own affairs and are very slow. They don't seem to be nervous at all and don't understand the seriousness of the situation at all.
Kaka didn't know how long the barrier built by countless fairies at the risk of their lives could last. He once urged humans, but the answer he got was to wait a moment.
He had finally managed to send someone over within a week.
Looking at his compatriots suffering on the other side of the glass wall, Kaka felt heartbroken and clenched his hands tightly.
"Are we really helpless except waiting? What happened today will surely happen again in the future. Are we really helpless and can only watch the tragedy repeat itself again and again, and watch our compatriots sacrifice one after another? Is there really no solution?"
The unspeakable emotions in his heart will accumulate more and more, and Kaka will be in a state of confusion.
The rules of the fairy kingdom meant that they could only watch the tragedy repeat itself time and time again, and take actions that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause, unable to completely eradicate the unknown darkness originating from underground.
But they have no power to change the status quo.
Suddenly, a loud sound of breaking wall echoed throughout the hospital, instantly bringing Kakara back to reality. The crisp sound of glass falling was extremely clear in the corridor.
Several fairies in charge of medical care ran over in a hurry. When they saw Kaka, they immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Lord Koko the Cleaner has been corrupted again and started wreaking havoc in the hospital!"
