Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 408 Earth, That's a Beautiful Place
After regaining consciousness, Adair immediately chased him out of the deep sleep.

"Sister Wang!"

Hearing Adair's shout, Alia, whose back was turned to Adair, froze.

Then turned around and looked at Adair.

"I'm fine..."

Alia seemed to want to give Adair a reassuring smile.

However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a rapid coughing sound.

"Cough-cough-!"

Alia pressed her throat tightly with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other, but this could no longer conceal her terrible state.

"How do you look like you're okay? Sister Wang!"

Seeing this scene, Adair walked up to Alia step by step, his face gradually filled with unbelievable panic and anger towards Alia.

In this regard, Alia, who finally ended the cough, was silent, and apologized to Adair: "I'm sorry."

"I don't want you to apologize to me..."

"I know."

Alia interrupted Adair's words.

"I wanted to tell you so myself."

Alia looked into Adair's eyes and said seriously.

"I'm sorry, Adair, it's useless for my sister to suffer from the red death disease so quickly."

Being watched by Alia like this, Adair clenched his fists and said with a painful face: "Why you?"

Yeah, why is it just me?
Alia was silent for a moment before answering.

"Probably, this is fate.

"In the face of fate, there is no difference between me and that mother."

Even, back then, their mother, the queen of the beholder world emperor, was the same.

Therefore, she would suffer from the red death disease. If you think about it carefully, it is not a particularly bizarre thing.

However, although she cannot refuse the suffering that fate has arranged for her, she can choose her own attitude when facing that suffering.

Thinking of this, a smile slowly appeared on Alia's face.

That smile was a bit sad, but it surprisingly didn't carry any haze of being shrouded in illness.

Alia accepted this reality.

And decided to face it with the pride of a princess.

"Don't show that look, Adair."

Alia comforts Adair.

"With Father and Uncle Edith around, I'll be all right."

Then persuade him.

"Compared to me, you should have more important things to do now, don't you?"

Alia raised her hand, helped Adair turn around, made him face the direction of the sleeping place, and pushed him gently behind his back.

"Okay, let's go back, haven't you promised father to take good care of this place?"

"But……"

"No buts."

Alia interrupted Adel with her majesty as an older sister.

"Go quickly."

Alicia urged.

After a moment of silence, Adair finally took a step forward.

Seeing the back of Adair leaving, Alia let out a sigh of relief.

But before she finished her breath, she quickly raised her hand to cover her lips, and fell into a violent cough again.

And every time Alia coughed, it was like a sledgehammer hitting Adair's heart.

Adair hastened his pace of leaving.

But after a while, Alan came out from the deep sleep with three escort soldiers.

"Sister Wang!"

Alan looked at Alia worriedly.

Apparently, Adair had already informed Alan about Alia's suffering from the Red Death Disease.

Seeing this, Alia couldn't help but have a look of helplessness on her face.

However, before she could open her mouth to comfort Alan, she heard Alan speak to him quickly.

"It's okay, Sister Wang, father will definitely find a way to save you!"

After speaking, Alan ran away in a hurry.

No matter how much Aria yelled, she didn't look back.

Apparently, while Adair told Alan the truth, he also conveyed to him the entrustment to tell Adenis that Alia had suffered from the Red Death Disease.

This made Alia feel a little headache.

Because she didn't want her own affairs to affect her father's judgment.

But at the same time, it feels very heartwarming.

There was even a little bit of undue expectation.

Will my father drop what he's doing and come back to see me?
Then he shook his head vigorously to get rid of this little thought.

Princess, sister, daughter, three different identities, brought three different feelings to Alia.

It has to be said that human beings are really complex and contradictory creatures.

Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Alia glanced at the sleeping place and the direction Alan was leaving, and then gave an order to a guard soldier waiting here.

"Tell my situation to the mother who is suffering from red death disease, and ask her if she would like to come to me and wait for the result."

"Yes."

The escort soldiers were ordered to leave.

Then, Alia ordered the other escort soldiers to find something, and she planned to build a simple residence here.

After a while.

The mother took her son and came to Alia's side together.

"Your Highness Alia...will we die?"

"No, we'll be fine."

Alia smiled at them gently.

"No matter what, I will always be with you."

……

……

On the way to Edith's lab.

Alan catches up to Adnis who is walking briskly.

"Father--!"

In the distance, as soon as he saw Adnis's back, Alan shouted loudly.

"Alan?"

The shout successfully reached Adnis's ears.

Adnis stopped.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping now, taking care of the people with Alia and Adair? Why did you come here?"

Adnes asked.

While asking the question, a faint uneasiness flowed in his heart.

Then, Adnis' bad premonition came true.

"It's Sister Wang... Sister Wang is suffering from the Red Death Disease!"

The moment he heard this answer, Adnis felt his heart was pulled hard.

The induction to the outside world quickly moved away, only the grief that was difficult to breathe intensified.

"Alia... is she suffering from the Red Death Disease?"

Just like Adair thought of his mother when he heard the news, Adenis also thought of his wife who died of red death disease the moment he heard the news.

Red death disease!
How many precious treasures do you have to take away from me before you stop?
Adenis looked up at the red sky, filled with anger and hatred.

"Father... Father!"

Alan's shout brought Adnis back to consciousness.

Adenis lowered his head, looked at Alan's flustered young face, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

don't panic...

Whether as a leader or as a father, he can't panic now!

Besides, he wasn't really hopeless.

Thinking of this, Adenis asked Alan.

"Alan, do you remember the mission you took on 65 years ago?"

"That mission..."

Hearing what Adenis said, Alan was stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, his eyes immediately lit up.

"yes, I remember!"

Alan said happily.

"I see, I'm going to send Sister Wang to Earth!"

Saying this, Alan couldn't help but see the beautiful blue sky of the earth in his heart.

Yes, the sky there is blue.

Under that blue sky, there is no place for the Red Death.

However, just as Alan was about to turn around, Adenis stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Alan, don't act rashly!"

Adnis reminds Alan.

"Don't forget, we are no longer eyes and souls, but fragile flesh and blood."

Adnis said solemnly.

"So, don't be impatient, we only have one chance, and if we fail, we will die, understand?"

Hearing this, Alan's expression froze, then he lowered his head and looked at his body with an obvious dissatisfaction on his face.

"Why do I have such an inconvenient body? In this way, isn't it the same as those humans?"

Hearing Alan's words, Adnis' brows were deeply furrowed.

"Alan!"

Alan was startled by Adnis's sudden increase in volume.

"Father?"

Alan looked at Adenis puzzled, wondering why his father was so angry suddenly.

Seen by Alan's suspicious eyes, Adnis's inner anger gradually turned into self-mockery.

"Sorry, Alan."

After a moment of silence, Adnis took a deep breath and exhaled, apologizing to Alan.

"It was my dereliction of duty as the leader and father that gave you such an idea. If there is a chance in the future, I will have a good talk with you about this matter. So, now, I hope you can put me first. Keep this sentence firmly in your heart.”

Adenis looked into Alan's eyes seriously and seriously.

"We are human!"

Beholders are the name of this world, and they are residents of beholders. Naturally, they can call themselves beholders, but that's just a code name.

At the same time, although they lived with the incarnation of eyes and souls, that was just a tool they created for survival.

Therefore, they can look down on the earth people from the technological level.

But the only thing is that they can't look down on Earth people from the species level.

Because they are essentially the same as the people on Earth, they are all [people]!
Seeing Alan who was ignorant because of his words, Adnis sighed lightly and patted Alan on the shoulder.

"Okay, about this issue, I will think about it after all this is over. Now, go and prepare the devices needed for teleportation."

Adenis told Alan.

"Remember, don't just prepare Alia's, but also have a device that covers all the people, so as to ensure that after I confirm with Edith the process that allows the physical body to be safely transmitted, I can send it in the shortest possible time. Everyone teleports to Earth, understand?"

"Ok!"

Alan affirmed.

Then, the two separated.

Adenis continued on to Edith's laboratory.

Alan started to return in the direction he came from.

The two turned their backs to each other and drifted away.

……

……

On the way back to sleep.

When passing by a ruin, Alan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look.

"Is it an illusion?"

Just now, he seemed to see the shadow of Shen Haicheng.

Shaking his head, Alan continued on.

And just opposite the ruins in the direction Alan looked at earlier.

Shen Haicheng held the dead pink eye soul, leaning against a half wall on the edge of the ruins, staring blankly at the red sky above.

"Huayin..."

A low whisper came from his mouth.

And at this moment, a shimmering gray curtain suddenly appeared, swallowing Shen Haicheng into it.

Disappear.

……

……

Edith's laboratory.

Without any shouting or searching, Ardenis saw Edith as soon as he reached the door.

I saw that facing the front of the door, Edith was sitting on the ground, his pupils were dilated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Or, just simply in a daze?

"..."

Adenis was silent for a while, and made a sound to remind Edith of his arrival.

"Edith, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Edith came back to his senses, his pupils focused, and he looked at Adenis.

"I'm waiting for your instructions."

After finishing speaking, Edith got up from the ground... But just halfway up, he felt a pain in his old waist, which made the corners of his mouth tremble uncontrollably.

Adenis noticed this, and stepped forward to help Edith.

"Thank you."

Edith glanced up at Adnes and thanked him.

Adenis didn't speak, just shook his head and helped Edith to an empty chair.

Edith wasn't too polite.

He really needs a break now.

After sitting down, Edith looked up at Adenis who was still standing, and suddenly smiled.

"What, it seems that the departure of the Great Eye is not a good thing at all."

He felt the change in Adenis' mood at this time.

At the same time, upon hearing that sentence, Adenis first had a look of shame on his face, then looked at Edith and couldn't help but smile.

"That said...it seems to be the same."

But thinking of the reality that needs to be faced now, the smile on Adenis's face turned into a sigh.

"Edith, Aria is sick with red death."

Adenis did not directly tell Edith his conclusion, but threw the matter out first.

Sure enough, Edith, who almost watched Alia grow up, suddenly became worried and nervous.

"How come so fast?"

"Probably, it's because everyone is very weak now."

Adnis said worriedly.

"If things go on like this, I'm afraid that before tomorrow, about half of the people will suffer from red death disease.

"And during this period, if someone really died from the Red Death, someone would definitely choose to seek refuge with Denton."

After a pause, Adenis looked into Edith's eyes sincerely and continued.

"So, I want to stop things before they get to that extent, but I need your assistance...

"Edith, do you have the technology to safely teleport your body?"

After a moment of silence, Edith nodded.

"Yes I have."

"Then, in 'there', are you sure you can cure Alia?"

Looking at the nervous Adenis, Edith nodded slowly.

"Yes, as long as a neutralizing agent is made, it can cure the red death disease in the 'source-off state'."

Saying so, Edith reached into his arms and took out a small box from his arms.

When I opened the box, I saw four or five circular patches with cat faces painted on it.

"This is the finished product I prepared before...the formula for the neutralizer is in the interlayer under the box."

After speaking, Edith handed it to Adenis.

Adnis raised his hand to take it, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Adenis suddenly said:
"Sure enough, those bags of rice were transported by you from the earth after the eye-soul system collapsed."

Having said so much, Edith naturally doesn't need to hide anything anymore.

He nodded directly and answered Adnis.

"Yes."

"It turns out that you didn't agree with the 'guidance plan' from the very beginning?"

"Oh, guide? It's an invasion."

Hearing this, Edith sneered directly.

"Adenis, if your next sentence is to ask why I didn't tell you what I think earlier, then please ask yourself first, will you listen to my opinion at that time? Don't forget, You who are swallowed up by the ideal of a 'perfect world' refuse to understand people's hearts."

After the words fell, there was a pause, and Edith said in a distant tone.

"Earth, that's not only a beautiful place...

"'She' is still our hometown."

After hearing these words from Edith, Adenis, who was speechless, suddenly thought in the process of reviewing the past.

Perhaps, from a very long time ago, when he first came up with the idea of ​​letting people take the initiative to forget "the history that he came from the earth", he had gone astray.

So, after a long silence, Adnis closed his eyes, and made a confession to the earth in a prayer posture.

"sorry."
