old dream

Chapter 241 Final Search
Ke Lin was lying on the hospital bed staring blankly at the ceiling. For half a year, he had been working on clockwork, and now he was suddenly idle, which made people feel a little at a loss.

Ji Lian was holding cotton with tweezers, carefully wiping the blood and pus from his wound.The stimulus stimulated his recovery, but several wounds never healed.Even if you sew them on with seams, they will soon fester and burst.As soon as the wet bandage is removed, you can see the complex texture of the crystal map under the wound.

Even when he was half asleep and half awake, Colin would be aware of the existence of those crystal maps.They are like burning wounds radiating residual heat all the time, but they can't feel the pain.Perhaps even some nearby nerve endings have died.

"Long before I met you, I took care of patients like this."

Ji Lian took out the clean gauze again, wrapped up the open wound, and tied it tightly:

"That was when I was in the monastery school. Several extraordinary people had this kind of wound on their bodies...but they were usually old people. At that time, I was excluded by others, and I ended up taking care of several nuns who suffered from this kind of suffering. In fact, they It's not as scary as others say, but it treats me very well, but after a while..."

While taking care of Ke Lin, Ji Lian talked about the past.Then she stopped slowly.Ji Lian was stunned for a while, then unconsciously lowered her voice:

"So I can know... this is the terminal symptom of the overflow of spiritual essence."

This physical body is on the verge of collapse.

Luca said that wizards are consumables, and he should be almost exhausted.Because the ether channel has been crowded for a long time, this moment comes much faster than others.

However, when the memory seal is released, the spiritual body imprisoned in consciousness will be liberated.The silt in the channel will also go away, by then.

"If the spirit essence stops overflowing, my ether channel returns to normal width." Colin said:

"Will the crystal map recover by then?

"Even if no one has seen such a situation before, at least not in the records I have seen." Ji Li'an said:
"But it is generally believed that ... the growth of the crystal map is irreversible."

"Cutting or shattering?" Colin said, looking at the immaculate white ceiling:
"There are no blood vessels on it, and it may be easier than removing the tumor."

"It's connected to something more troublesome than blood vessels." Ji Lian shook her head slightly: "You know that."

your consciousness.

"Crystal maps are valuable samples and...field material," she said:
"The price of the crystal map in the black market has always been very high. So some people make a living by stealing the corpses of wizards, and even hunt living people for it. But there is no host who has survived after being dissected from the crystal map."

"So unlocking the memory seal is the only hope." Colin said lightly:
"Although it is very slim, at least it exists."

The ether channel was temporarily blocked, causing the spiritual essence to overflow in advance, which may not have appeared in the predecessors.

"Do not."

Ji Lian first subconsciously denied it, and then realized what she said.She was taken aback for a moment, but continued:
"No...it doesn't matter whether cracking the seal can solve the problem." Ji Lian's language was a bit intermittent;
"You can't even put all your hopes on this ceremony... because this is a newly designed ceremony, no one can guarantee that it will be successful, in case it fails."

Ji Lian couldn't help pinching the lotus leaf on her chest:

"You have to think about what to do if you fail..."

Then you don't fall into complete despair when you find out that the ritual doesn't work.

"There are other possibilities." Ji Lian said:
"I've never heard of anyone entering the terminal stage at such a young age. So you have the physical strength to fight the past, and there are new stimuli..."

Maybe I wanted to cover up the problems with the ceremony so that Colin would not have expectations for it.Ji Lian thought.

But also because she has been dealing with despair.That's why I strongly understand: you can't blindly bet everything on a single thing like Colin.Expectations are too high, but it is the easiest to be heartbroken.

There has never been any evidence to prove that after the overflow of the spirit essence stops, the sprawling crystal map will shrink by itself.

If that's the case, as long as the wizard cuts off the connection with the imaginary world, the crystal map should start to recover.

But compared to Ji Lian's nervousness, Ke Lin laughed instead.

For he has no fear of death:

"Okay, okay, I understand."

After exhausting all possibilities, Colin said relaxedly:

"I trust your ability. But I won't blame you if the ceremony fails."

So let's just pretend it doesn't matter.He said.

You've done enough after all.

…………

…………

Although the wound was serious, it didn't hurt, which made it easier for Colin to get out of bed and walk.The three worst wounds were on the right upper arm, back, and flank.Be careful, it won't affect walking.

So Colin prepared to go out the next day.Even though the redstone would be in place within days, it was impossible for him to completely let go of his nerves before the ceremony actually began.

Moreover, even though Ricardo is playing the role of lieutenant, the most crucial thing must be decided by him.

Ricardo became a little depressed, but he didn't fall down because of the shock brought by Luka.At least not at work.He was speechless after seeing Colin. Colin patted him on the shoulder, looked at his bloodshot eyes behind the mask and said:
"Choose some of the most expensive wines and take them home." Colin said:

"And then don't let me see you drunk again."

"Everyone here is looking for Luca." Ricardo said:
"I have also used our intelligence network and those detection devices. But there is no result."

Through Ricardo and Goldie, Colin roughly knew what happened after he fell into a coma.

Just as he thought, it was Ricardo who led the police detectives to raid the private prison and rescued himself.But Luca escaped in the end.Even in the process of fleeing, the wizard killed a senior member of the Ninth Bureau.

Luca Chestalo is the leader of the Redstone organization. This fact has been confirmed through various spiritual traces, and he is still in Stade City.

And the Ninth Bureau will never let this loss be easily revealed, so a search of unprecedented scale kicked off in Stadella.

Whether it's secular police detectives, hunting groups, or the Ninth Bureau, even underground wizards have been launched with rewards.Now the whole city is searching for Luca's whereabouts.There was even news at one point that the authorities were planning to use this incident to ask the church to use the narrative agency.

However, due to the growing scruples of the church towards the principality, it failed in the end.

The search has been going on for two days, but no one has got any news from Luca.

But maybe it's just a matter of time.

　It was written to find a BUG, ​​that is, Colin heard from a bootlegger that Luca was the King of Redstone...

　　All businessmen know it, and it is impossible for the ninth game not to know it.Everyone bear with it for now, I will go back and round it up later.

　　2020.11.10 has not been changed yet. According to the notice, Colin knew about this from the Chestalo family.
