My Endless Life.

Chapter 89: Magical Excess Syndrome

Someone is trying to kill Remus!
When he had done everything he should do, Li Qi immediately realized this!
And the assassin cleverly used a soundproof barrier to block the sound of the gunfire, making it impossible to immediately find the assassin's location!

Fortunately, Remus was sitting in a carriage at the moment, and the curtains of the carriage were drawn, making it impossible for the assassin to tell Remus's location.

Fortunately, Remus moved slightly away from his original seat because he wanted to talk to Li Qi.

Otherwise, the bullet would definitely hit Remus' head!

This great commander who just unified Uno a few days ago is likely to die here!

Because Borent was sitting a little further away from Remus, his reaction was a little slower than Li Qi's. Seeing that Li Qi had already protected Remus, he immediately said to the guards outside the carriage:

"Find it for me!! Find the assassin!!!"

But just as Borrent finished speaking, before everyone could start looking for him, another assassin appeared.

That was a assassin who had been prepared for a long time on a nearby building. After Remus reached the designated position, he immediately jumped down from above.

"Die! Executioner!!!"

There was fanaticism on the face of the assassin. He fell from the sky with a red gem containing energy hanging on his chest. It was the first generation magic orb that had been eliminated by Uno!

Although the first generation of magic orbs have many flaws, they must be used in conjunction with specially made firearms to exert their full power.

But if it is used as a bomb, its power is extraordinary!

The assassin fell from the sky with the orb hanging on his body, and it was obvious what he wanted to do!
Remus' guards, realizing what the assassin was about to do, immediately shot at the assassin.

However, most of the bullets were blocked by the opponent's magic shield. Although a small number of bullets hit the opponent's vital points, they failed to affect the orb.

The assassin with the first edition of the orb still landed on top of Remus' carriage!
Boom! ! !

The moment the assassin landed on top of Remus' carriage, the magic orb exploded under the violent reaction of magic!

The red flames engulfed everyone in the carriage in the blink of an eye.

At the last moment, Li Qi could only use all his strength to cast a magic shield to wrap himself and Remus.

The self-explosion caused by the magic orb was extremely powerful, but fortunately Li Qi had been wearing the new magic device on his body.

Although the makeshift magic shield was a little fragile, it blocked most of the impact of the explosion, leaving only a small part of the impact that hit Li Qi and Remus.

The carriage shattered under the explosion, and the remaining impact blew away all the people in the carriage. Li Qi fell to the ground holding Remus.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Li Qi raised his right hand with five fingers stretched out towards the distance without hesitation.

The magic bullet condensed in the middle of his palm, and the rune magic ring wrapped around Li Qi's palm.

There is more than one assassin.

The assassin who shoots from a distance is not the same assassin who drops from above as a human bomb.

The bomber has been blown to pieces by his own bomb, but the sniper in the distance is still there. What Li Qi has to deal with now is the sniper in the distance!
The sniper's position is not difficult to guess.

Perhaps to others, a sniper who makes no sound is like an invisible person wearing a black cloak in the dark night.

But in Li Qi's eyes, the sniper was as obvious as a firefly at night.

The reason is simple. The sniper used a soundproofing barrier to eliminate his own voice.

Although the barrier is invisible, the magic power is visible.

Therefore, you can't go wrong just by shooting at places with strong magic power!

The rune ring used to restrain magic power took shape in his hand instantly, and a magic ray with a diameter of nearly two meters flew out from Li Qi's hand quickly, piercing through the assassin's position in the blink of an eye.

After confirming through farsightedness that his magic cannon had hit the target, Li Qi retracted his palm and looked at Remus:

"Mr. President, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, are you okay? Accidents can happen to anyone, but not to you! You are Uno's 'treasure' now!"

Remus seemed more worried about Richie's safety than his own.

After everything was over, he immediately checked Li Qi's body up and down to confirm his condition.

That look of concern seemed to come from the heart.

Li Qi said quickly:
"It's okay. I was just hit by the impact of the explosion at the end. Your Excellency the President, don't worry."

After listening to what Li Qi said, Remus' expression seemed to be relieved.

Li Qi then asked:

"Mr. President, these people who assassinated you are..."

"It's just the legacy of the traditionalists. It seems that I am too kind to them."

Remus's eyes revealed murderous intent.

Li Qi remained silent.

Sure enough, he is a traditionalist. At this time, the only people who dare to assassinate the president in the capital of Uno can only be traditionalists.

Although the reformists achieved a complete victory in this struggle, the traditionalists were not without any influence.

There are still some remnant forces roaming around in the capital, and this assassination is probably their last act of resistance.

……

The assassination after the military parade also caused an uproar among the top leaders.

Many people suggested to Remus that he should kill all the remaining traditional members, including those who had escaped the purge and were now in idle positions.

The first person Li Qi thought of was Wood, and he was a little worried that his former superior would suffer an unexpected disaster.

But luckily, Remus didn't actually do that.

He can clearly see who is the enemy and who is the friend.

This assassination was not done by traditional members who were still in the system, but by nobles who were unwilling to lose their past glory.

They are also the real enemy.

Remus began to order his subordinates to carry out the final encirclement and suppression of the remaining traditional main forces, while Li Qi... was obediently accepting the examination of the medical magician in the hospital.

...In the end, Remus still couldn't let go of his worries about Li Qi. He firmly ordered him to go to the hospital for a check-up and found him the best medical magician in Uno.

Just as he said, he really regarded Li Qi as Uno's 'treasure'.

Although Remus' concern for Li Qi was out of purpose, it still benefited Li Qi a lot.

This made him feel that his decision to return to Uno this time was not wrong.

Even my mood has improved a lot.

But Li Qi's good mood did not last long.

When Li Qi saw the medical magician walking towards him with a report in his hand and a heavy face, his heart skipped a beat.

The medical magician's expression at this moment reminded him of the expression of the attending physician in his previous life in the music world when he was diagnosed with cancer by the hospital.

The expressions of both of them are the same.

No way? Again?

Li Qi had an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

Although I didn't pay much attention to my body on the battlefield in this life, I always used auxiliary magic to check my body after the battlefield.

He was sure that there was nothing wrong with his body.

So what does this doctor mean by this expression?
Li Qi was a little nervous, but his face didn't change. When he saw the doctor coming over, he asked:
"Doctor, your expression...is there something wrong with my body?"

"Um... well, how should I put it..."

The doctor found it difficult to speak, and there was a bit more pity in his eyes when he looked at Li Qi.

This made Li Qi feel even worse, and he said bluntly:
"Just say it."

"…I wonder if the Major has ever heard of a disease called 'excess magic syndrome'."

"What?"

"To put it simply, it is a disease caused by an abnormal circulation of magic power, which leads to an excess of magic power, thus affecting the human body. This disease is rare, and not many people have suffered from it in history, but..."

The doctor sighed and said:

"But... the life span of patients diagnosed with magic power excess is affected..."

"You said that this symptom will affect my life span?"

Li Qi asked with a frown.

The doctor nodded: "Yes."

“How much will it affect?”

"Major... this... you have to be mentally prepared."

"Never mind that, just tell me!"

"…Conservatively speaking, you have three to five years to live."

The doctor stated this fact with difficulty.

Li Qi was stunned. Does this mean that he can only live for five more years at most in this life?
For some reason, after hearing the news, Li Qi felt calm.

Perhaps it was because there were too many deaths, or perhaps he had anticipated the current situation.

He was not as frightened and panicked as expected. Instead, he sat calmly on the hospital chair and asked the doctor:
“Is there any treatment?”

"Excessive magic power is an irreversible disease. The excessive magic power in your body will forcibly transform your body into magic power of the same quality. All we can do is delay the progress of your body's magic power transformation..."

"Is it not possible to destroy the magic circuit and all the magic power?"

Li Qi asked again.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, that won't work. When the magic transformation begins, even if you destroy all your magic circuits and magic, your body will still absorb magic instinctively."

"Even if there is no magic circuit?"

"At that time, your body itself is a kind of magic circuit, a magic circuit that cannot be destroyed."

The doctor said, and then added: "But you can extend your life by destroying the magic circuit. Conservatively speaking, it should be able to extend your life by another five to ten years..."

Giving up all your strength will only extend your life by ten years at most.

For other people who value their lives, they might make such a choice.

But for Li Qi, it would be better for him to die now than to give up his magical powers.

I already have the answer in my heart as to what to choose.

Li Qi said to the doctor:

"I understand. Thank you, doctor. I hope you can keep this illness a secret from others."

"I'm sorry, Major. I still need to report your physical condition to His Excellency the President."

“…Please keep this confidential to everyone except His Excellency the President. Thank you.”

Li Qi asked again.

This time the doctor did not refuse. He nodded and agreed to Li Qi's request.

After saluting the doctor, Li Qi turned and left the hospital.

He thought about what the doctor had said about how long he had left to live, and then thought about the age at which he died in his previous two lives, and he had a rough guess in his mind.

"Nineteen... No, twenty?"

Li Qi guessed that he would probably not live past the age of twenty in any of his lives.

And this is the price, or one of the prices, for him to be able to retain his memory and reincarnate.

If he doesn't find a way to solve this problem, then even if he is reincarnated again, he probably still won't live past the age of twenty.
