After learning the truth, Ning Xingzhou collapsed for a while, but he had to swallow his great pain and grief back to his stomach. He didn't dare to let Sikong Yuan know, he was afraid that the other party's emotions would collapse because of this, and the disaster consciousness would find an opportunity to take advantage of it.
He had to force himself to pull himself together.
He wanted to do everything he could to save Sikong Yuan from disaster. This is the crux of his heart, and also his greatest rebellion against fate.
Therefore, he chose to become a spiritual healer and became a "deserter" among countless people.
In these years, he has been looking for a small chance of winning against the disaster, and from time to time, he helps Sikong Yuan to channel the chaotic spiritual realm, so that the other party can have a moment of peace in this ten-year tug-of-war.
However, manpower has its limit after all, and Sikong Yuan's state has long been on the verge of the limit.
However, after so many years of research, there is still no effective means to deal with disasters. The only progress is probably to realize the simultaneous blockade of disaster consciousness by blocking Sikong Yuan's consciousness, but the duration is limited and the risk of rebound is extremely high, and , Sikong Yuan must take the initiative to accept.
After all, Sikong Yuan's level of spiritual power is above all of them. A forced blockade is like a fantasy.
As a last resort, Ning Xingzhou proposed a solution that only exists in theory—
Through some means, temporarily block Sikong Yuan's master consciousness and disaster consciousness, and let his spiritual body directly enter Sikong Yuan's consciousness world, repair Sikong Yuan's mental damage over the years, and then use some guiding methods to avoid alarming In the case of disaster consciousness, wake up Sikong Yuan's main consciousness in advance.
His level of mental power is not comparable to Sikong Yuan, if he enters with memories, it will be like a foreign object with sharp edges and corners, which will definitely cause a counterattack. Therefore, he temporarily blocked his own memory, smoothed the edges and corners, but also kept back.
That system is an artificial intelligence developed by him privately. It is installed in the dormant cabin and is always alert to prevent him from getting lost in Sikong Yuan's spiritual world. And the so-called impact value is the degree to which he has repaired Sikong Yuan's spiritual world.
From the campus to the end of the world, from order to disorder, it stands to reason that it will eventually lead to a small world that is infinitely close to the real world, but it was stopped in advance.
After all, he still underestimated the spiritual power gap between him and Sikong Yuan. As early as in the campus world, Sikong Yuan's consciousness had a tendency to awaken vaguely, so in the second world, the place where they met would become a game world Among them, and in the end of the world, it is completely different from his script.
Most importantly, he did not expect that Sikong Yuan's awakening would happen before his memory recovered. What's even more exaggerated is that the other party actually blocked the passage of his memory recovery by relying on the control of the conscious world.
And the consciousness of disaster awakened much earlier than he expected.
This is the worst case scenario.
In his original plan, if things go well, there will be a wave of time lag. Taking advantage of Sikong Yuan's main consciousness awakening before the disaster consciousness, he and Sikong Yuan will jointly seal the disaster consciousness, even if it cannot be completely sealed, it will still be possible. Extend the front for a while.
Of course, this is only an ideal situation. More possibilities are that, like now, the consciousness of disaster has been awakened too early, and Sikong Yuan and Calamity are forced to fight decisively.
This is the most likely scenario, and Ning Xingzhou was aware of this long before the plan started. Therefore, his trump card is prepared for this situation.
Sikong Yuan was able to spend ten years with the consciousness of disaster, which meant that Sikong Yuan's spiritual body was an existence at the same level as the consciousness of disaster. And when he enters the world of consciousness and restores Sikong Yuan's mental body to its peak state, it will allow Sikong Yuan to fully possess the strength comparable to the consciousness of disaster.
And at this time, Ning Xingzhou himself was the biggest variable in this battle.
What Sikong Yuan didn't know was that things like the spiritual body could be merged. In other words, he who was in Sikong Yuan's spiritual world could be completely absorbed and transformed into strength.
Therefore, his last hole card is to completely merge with Sikong Yuan during the decisive battle between Sikong Yuan and the consciousness of disaster, resulting in a qualitative change of 1+1>2.
This is the only chance he has come up with after decades of thinking. Even if the price is that he will never wake up, he still hopes that Sikong Yuan can win this battle.
However, Sikong Yuan didn't give him this chance.
even…
The only source of disaster that the other party had gone through untold hardships and finally refined was also given to him.
This also means that Sikong Yuan's only reliance to counteract the consciousness of disaster is gone.
He lost this bet...
Ning Xingzhou walked up to Sikong Yuan step by step, raised his hand to caress the other's cheek that was completely engulfed by the black flame, and was in a daze.
In the end, he still became that one, the one who dragged his feet.
…
"Commander Zhou, Calamity 003 seems to be out of control, and the signal from the dormant cabin has been completely cut off. What should we do now?"
Commander Zhou looked at the black flames all over the sky, and sighed heavily, his thick voice was full of regret, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, "It seems that Dr. Ning... failed in the end."
However, he was not dominated by the depressed mood for a long time, and his eyes were replaced by a wave of determination, "All the officers and men obey the order, follow me into the disaster area, wipe out the disaster species, and stop the disaster from spreading at all costs!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
A reply resounded through the sky, and they were nervous and looking forward to it. They knew that this trip was dangerous, but the long-term success in all battles made them look forward to returning victoriously after a hard battle.
Commander Zhou looked at the faces full of enthusiasm, feeling unbearable grief in his heart. These people don't know the horror of the disaster, but he is clear that they are going to die in this attack.
From the time they were sent to station here, it was doomed.
In the face of disaster, they have no choice. We can only rely on the sacrifice of moths to the flame to pave the way for the latecomers-survival.
…
The familiar burning pain returned, every inch of skin, every pore seemed to be suffering from lingering pain. Sikong Yuanxu opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually blurred.
Is everything going to end like this
He thought he was mentally prepared enough, but when the real thing happened, he was still unwilling.
He knew that Ning Xingzhou had a heart for the common people, that's why he took this rescue operation. However, this salvation plan was completely ruined by him.
Because the right to choose this question has always been in his hands. And he, Sikong Yuan, has always been a selfish guy, so, between Ning Xingzhou and the common people in the world, he chose Ning Xingzhou without hesitation.
As long as Ning Xingzhou can survive, what does anyone else have to do with him.
It's just that in the future, he won't be able to accompany Ning Xingzhou.
Ning Xingzhou always took it for granted. Without him by his side, would he be framed by others? This time the mission failed, he was dead, but Ning Xingzhou...will he become a critic again
Or, will the seat next to Ning Xingzhou be replaced by someone else? Will someone replace him and accompany Ning Xingzhou forever
When his consciousness disappeared, Ning Xingzhou was still in his mind. And only Ning Xingzhou.
Unfortunately.
Really sorry.
No matter how painful the body is, no matter how exhausted the spirit is, it cannot calm down the unwillingness in the heart.
He... can't let go.
With the last thought, he closed his eyes, his consciousness completely plunged into darkness.
It's just that after his consciousness fell asleep, his consciousness body was not completely swallowed by the black flame, but instead continued to distort and change, gradually forming a strange vortex.
The vortex was pure black, bottomless, exuding a terrifying aura, and the overwhelming black flames around it froze in an instant, like a mouse seeing a cat and scatter in all directions like crazy.
But the terrifying black vortex didn't give Hei Yan a chance to escape. It kept spinning and expanding, as if it had boundless suction, pulling Hei Yan into it little by little, swallowing it completely.
…
"Commander Zhou, Commander Zhou... the disaster seems to be... dissipating?"
"Nonsense, I can see it!" Commander Zhou, who has always been calm, was emotionally agitated for a rare time. The black flame that was still raging a moment ago inexplicably became obedient, and the radiation range was also shrinking sharply at an unimaginable speed.
"Could it be... Dr. Ning... he succeeded?" Commander Zhou spoke intermittently, his hands trembling with excitement.
"However, the dormant cabin was completely disconnected earlier, could Dr. Ning already..."
A certain member of the Special Operations Team was straightforward, and said what was in his heart. Commander Zhou twitched and waved his hand, "Go, follow me to see."
If the disaster is really brought under control, even Doctor Ning's sacrifice will be worth it, and the whole world will remember this hero. It's just that the commander-in-chief may find it difficult to explain. After all, the commander-in-chief... also has the surname Ning.
…
Ning Xingzhou looked at the scene in front of him with a stunned expression.
It stands to reason that Sikong Yuan, without the blessing of the source of disaster, would not be an opponent of the consciousness of disaster. Next, his body will be completely controlled by the consciousness of disaster, and he will be reduced to a walking corpse that erodes human beings.
But what's going on with the current situation
The black flame that filled the sky was actually being sucked into Sikong Yuan's body little by little until it completely disappeared, revealing the skin that originally belonged to humans.
It seems that everything is back to normal.
Ning Xingzhou stared blankly at the other party, not understanding what happened, but the tears stuck in his eyes, and he couldn't find a reason for them to fall.
Sikong Yuan still didn't open his eyes, the moment the black flame disappeared completely, he seemed to be exhausted, his figure swayed slightly. Ning Xingzhou hurriedly raised his hand to help, letting the other party half lean on him.
The other party was much taller than him, and leaning against him, Ning Xingzhou could hear the powerful heartbeat of the other party's 'thumping' as long as he lowered his head slightly.
That's right, and a heartbeat.
Ning Xingzhou swallowed his saliva, his heart beating like a drum, knowing that having a heartbeat doesn't mean anything, but still has a strong premonition - Sikong Yuan won.
At this moment, what is contained in this body is Sikong Yuan, not calamity.
…
"Doctor Ning! You're still alive!" An excited voice came from afar, pulling back Ning Xingzhou's mind.
"Bah, green-headed ghost, can you talk? Why are you so surprised? Dr. Ning is so powerful, of course nothing will happen." The speaker was a tall and heroic woman, who was extremely arrogant when talking to her companions. When looking at Ning Xingzhou, his face was full of shyness.
No matter how many times I read it, I still feel that Dr. Ning is too good-looking, and he is not at all different from the rough men in the team.
Seeing her, Ning Xingzhou inexplicably thought of the friends he made in the conscious world, and nodded slightly at her. Then, he looked at the leader of this group of people, and yelled squarely, "Commander Zhou."
"Doctor Ning, this is... a success?" Commander Zhou's eyes fell on Ning Xingzhou and Sikong Yuan, still feeling a little unbelievable.
I was already prepared to die bravely, but I was suddenly told that there was still work to do. The feeling was really complicated.
"It should be." Ning Xingzhou said very vaguely, because he himself didn't know what the current situation was. He could only vaguely rely on his intuition to determine that Sikong Yuan at this moment was harmless.
"Should?" Commander Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Haha, Dr. Ning is quite modest. I'll report to the Commander-in-Chief right away, and the celebration banquet will be held as soon as possible."
As he said that, his eyes fell on Sikong Yuan, "However, his condition doesn't look very good. Let's go to the institute for a physical examination first to see if there is any serious problem."
Ning Xingzhou was silent.
After a long time, he asked, "Is that all?"
Is the so-called physical examination to see if there is any serious health problem in Sikong Yuan, or to see if there is any disaster left in his body? I'm afraid that if Sikong Yuan's physical indicators are a little abnormal, he will be regarded as a dangerous person.
With the temperament of those old antiques, the safest way is to remove Sikong Yuan as a container.
And most importantly, he couldn't be sure whether Sikong Yuan was still in an abnormal state. If so, sending him to be tested now is to push him into the fire pit.
He didn't want to make this bet, and he didn't dare to make it.
"Sorry, I refuse." Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Ning Xingzhou spoke slowly. He raised his left arm and instantly established a link with the optical brain on his wrist. Outlined a light armor like a wing.
This is the flight armor specially customized for him by the military department when he was in school, SS rank.
"I want to take people away." The existence of the battle armor narrowed the difference in size between him and Sikong Yuan. He embraced Sikong Yuan who was still in a coma, flapped his wings violently, jumped into the air, looked down at the crowd, and his expression was transparent. With long-lost arrogance, "If you want to stop it, just try."
As a "God of War" genius, when he gave up becoming a warrior, it was definitely not because he was afraid of fighting.
"Damn it! Is this person addicted to being a deserter? Do you want to run away at this time?" There are many special forces who are unhappy with Ning Xingzhou. Seeing that Ning Xingzhou is about to leave with the disaster star, he quickly activates his armor mode, ready to intercept.
But he was stopped by a pair of callused hands.
"Commander Zhou, who is this?"
Commander Zhou didn't answer, but shook his head slowly. He just felt that Ning Xingzhou was a benefactor to them and to the common people, and they should not face their benefactors with swords.
Ning Xingzhou took a deep look at the old Marshal, did not stay any longer, simply turned around, took Sikong Yuan with him, and left without looking back.
He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know if Sikong Yuan would wake up one day.
He only knew that he would never regret what he did today.
