Dragon Gate Swordsman

But this... this idiot actually brought over a dead body!

Barefoot doctors are also real doctors! They are not Mongolian doctors who let you do such despicable pranks!

"But she still has a heartbeat..."

"That's a stress twitch in which the muscles haven't completely stiffened yet! But it's more likely your illusion!"

Seeing that the veins on the doctor's forehead were popping out, Chongxiao didn't dare to say anything more. He could only pick up the "corpse" and leave the rural clinic in shame.

In fact, he didn't mean to offend, but anyone would not be in a good mood after carrying a "corpse" and hiking in the wilderness for more than a day... After all, he had no way of confirming whether the Sarkaz woman was still alive.

The barely perceptible heartbeat did not disappear, but there was no sign of recovery either. Even the wounds on the head, chest and abdomen showed no signs of healing, so Chongxiao could only make do with bandaging them with the first aid items he had "rescued".

Fortunately, the sheets and blankets originally prepared for Xiaobai on the back seat were still there. Wrapped around her, they served as clothes and concealed her appearance. Otherwise, if the residents of the mobile village saw Chongxiao running around with a corpse on his back, wouldn’t they be furious?

Tsk... If I had known this would happen, I would have buried you right there...

This mobile village is right on Longmen's navigation route, and the distance is not very far. If Chongxiao had not brought the Sarkaz women with him, he should have already reported to the Security Bureau headquarters.

The reason why he patiently found a doctor for her, apart from the slightest sign of life, was mainly because he was reluctant to give up the secret medicine given by Kal'tsit.

It's all given, we can't waste it, right?

After walking some distance from the village, Chongxiao, who was a little annoyed, put the Sarkaz woman and the luggage under a big tree.

Then he took out a five-zhu coin that was circulated in Yumen.

"Big sister, it's not that I don't want to save you, but your life is completely in a Schrödinger state, and I really can't do anything... So, I'm going to toss a coin now. If it's heads, I'll work harder and take you back to Longmen to find the best doctor. If it's tails..."

Chongxiao raised his head and looked around. "The environment around here is not bad. I guess those people who hurt you won't be able to find you."

Then he flicked his fingers and threw the five-zhu coin into the air.

Sigh... what am I doing? Impersonating the god of death to decide whether to take away the soul of a dying person?

Chongxiao caught the coin and laughed at himself, but then he was startled, as if he had thought of something...

Death? Taking away...souls?

He turned his head and looked at the Sarkaz woman leaning against the tree. After her wounds were simply cleaned and bandaged, her appearance was no longer as shocking as when she was lying in the coffin, but it also added a sense of pitiful fragility.

Chongxiao frowned and fell into deep thought.

He came up with an idea, but was not sure what would happen, because this was different from the previous weapons with various wonderful functions. It was an existence that really touched the forbidden boundaries.

"……Try it."

In the end, Chongxiao made a decision.

A familiar scene appeared again, just like when the Frost Sorrow of Proud Laughing at the Red Dust was created, the blazing golden flame surged out again and slowly condensed into the shape of a sword.

But compared to the previous creations, this weapon is extremely plain and simple. Even the reverse-blade sword given to Red seems to be more exquisite... Moreover, both of them are in the shape of samurai swords.

Its name is Tianshengya.

"I just remember that this sword is used to save people, not to kill people, but I don't know what exactly will happen."

Chongxiao swallowed and said, "So, big sister...if something really happens and you can't rest in peace, don't blame me..."

After saying that, he swung his sword lightly and stabbed the natural tooth into the chest of the Sarkaz woman.

one second...

Two seconds...

five seconds...

There was no movement, from either Tianshengya or the Sarkaz woman.

Chongxiao still didn't give up, and waited patiently for another half a minute before he grinned at himself... It seemed that those fragmented memories were not entirely accurate.

Feeling a little frustrated, Chongxiao sighed, then pulled out the natural tooth.

But at this moment...

"Ok?"

Looking at the cracks that suddenly appeared on Tianshengya's sword and quickly spread out, Chongxiao was stunned.

Except for the destroyed Rebellion, every weapon he created was indestructible. Even Nian was amazed by it. However, this one became... disposable?

Before he could react, the cracked Tiansheng tooth suddenly shattered and turned into countless points of light that dissipated in the air.

Chongxiao was stunned...this scene had never appeared in those vague fragments of memory.

Besides, if it can only be used once, how can it be worthy of being called a sword that saves lives?

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a whimpering sound.

Looking down, he saw the Sarkaz woman sitting against the tree slowly opening her eyes... Well, to be precise, her left eye, because the other one was covered with layers of bandages by Chongxiao's poor bandaging technique, and it must have been difficult for her to move her eyelids.

Well, it's disposable, but at least it's useful.

Chongxiao took two steps forward, squatted down, and waved his hand in front of her.

"Can you see it?"

After a long silence, she nodded with some difficulty.

"Okay, what's this?"

Chongxiao raised three fingers.

There was a hint of surprise in those confused and bewildered eyes, but he still gave the answer in a low voice.

"three."

"Very good, it looks like your brain is fine... So what's your name?"

"Me? I am...I..."

The Sarkaz female froze for a moment, then revealed a look of pain.

Her hands were shaking, and she seemed to want to cover her head, but she was too weak and stiff to do so.

Seeing this, Chongxiao couldn't help but reach out and put his hand on top of her head... Whenever he did this with Texas in the past, that Xiu dog... well, Xiu wolf... would quickly calm down and narrow his eyes.

The Sarkaz female shrank back, clearly not used to it, but she had no ability to resist.

"Forget it if you can't remember it. How about I remember it for you..."

"Te...Leia..."

"what?"

Although Chongxiao is now quite proficient in the Sakaz language, he only heard Leia's name because of the other party's weak tone.

"Leia, huh... do you still remember who you are?"

Before he finished speaking, the Sarkaz woman showed a painful expression again, forcing him to comfort her again and again: "Ah... forget it, it's okay if you can't remember it. How about this, I'll take you to the rescue station in Longmen first, heal your wounds first, and then we can take it slowly."

"What...injury? Am I...hurt?"

"Of course, you were stabbed before, and... uh, but it shouldn't be a big deal..."

Chongxiao glanced at her broken horn and the gauze on her head, and didn't dare to say, "You were also hurt by me while driving."

It’s not that he’s afraid of losing money… After falling into a coma last year, Li Wuan sent a detailed report to Shendu and asked Yingzhen to issue him a token of the captain of the imperial guards. The corresponding treatment and remuneration would naturally not be less, so it can be said that Chongxiao no longer has to worry about money.

Of course, the premise is not to leave the territory of Dayan.

The main reason is that this matter is related to Kazdel. If the other party loses his memory due to serious injuries, it would actually be a good thing.

Chongxiao, who was distracted, did not notice that Leia raised her hand tremblingly and pulled off the gauze on her head...and what was even more surprising was that except for the dried blood that had not been completely wiped off, the wound on her head had actually healed.

Does natural teeth have this effect?

Chongxiao felt something was wrong...but overall, being able to save the other person was already a miracle.

"Want to stand up?"

"Um……"

After receiving a positive answer, Chongxiao stood up, grabbed Leia's hand with a little force, and pulled her up.

But her still stiff and weak legs were not enough to support her body, so she fell forward and fell into Chongxiao's arms.

Uh… I can understand why you carried me all the way here, but I really don’t mean to take advantage of you now…

Chongxiao tried to pull his gaze forward to avoid looking down at the slit in Leia's collar, which would have given him a glimpse of an unspoken beauty...but this made him notice some black spots at the base of the girl's neck.

That wasn't a mole, scar, or bruise, but a hard Originium crystal.

Has the infection reached this level?

"…Does it hurt here?"

He touched the girl's back carefully.

Leia didn't say anything, but shook her head slightly, and at the same time put her arms around Chongxiao.

This wasn't a liking for him, it was more like trying to hold on to something that could save him, like a drowning person desperately trying to grab onto anything he could.

Fear of death and attachment to life?

At such a close distance and in such intimate contact, even though Chongxiao's spiritual power was much weaker than before, he could still feel Leia's emotions.

This also made him sure that Leia really couldn't remember the original events... Her still somewhat confused mind was almost blank, just like herself who had just been brought back to Longmen...

Alas... Just for this reason, we can't just leave it alone.

"Rest a little longer."

Chongxiao helped her sit back down, then said gently: "Then I will take you back to Longmen."

……

Auditorium 1, Tremont Polytechnic Institute, Columbia, VA.

Saria knew very well why her friend had dragged her here despite her busy schedule, but she didn't understand why there was any hesitation about it.

You should know that Kristen obtained her doctoral degree in this college, and her vision and ability have been proven by the increasingly famous Rhine Technology.

So if you really like someone, then just ask the academy for that person directly. Why would you have to come here again and again to observe secretly?

The head of the defense department will certainly do his best to protect the personal safety of the commander-in-chief, but if the commander-in-chief himself always does not do his job and runs to the university all day to "spy" on others, then Saria will have something to say.

"Kristen, if I remember correctly, this is your fourth..."

"It's the fifth time, Saria."

The cheerful chief interrupted her with a smile, "Last time you were dealing with the mess that the Engineering Department caused, so I didn't say 'Oops, I was wrong!'"

Facing Saria's sudden "death stare", Kristen immediately put on a flattering smile and handed her the snack in her hand, "Want some? The newly launched Dolez Twisters."

"I don't like sweets, you already know that."

"Eh? But you can accept chocolate..."

"It's a substitute for normal nutritional intake. Just because I can accept it doesn't mean I like it."

Just as Saria's image in the eyes of everyone at Rhine Life, even when facing the general manager Christen, she still maintained a serious, even somewhat solemn and rigid expression, not giving this boss any face at all.

And Kristen... the president of Rhine Life, who is famous for her image as a young, promising, sexy and cool female president and senior intellectual, if her performance at this moment was seen by others, I don't know how many glasses would be broken.

In addition, compared to her usual dignified and elegant or majestic and formal attire, the general manager today seemed to have returned to her college days. Her casual outfit also made her look several years younger.

Although the general is only 28 years old, except that she may be considered an "old woman" in the eyes of some anime fans, she is actually still in the most standard prime age.

As for why the two had to conceal their identities many times and come to this college, the reason was because of Ji Xueer, a student invited by Yan State, who was giving a research report on the podium in the auditorium.

Of course, her name here is Snow Pheasant.

Tremont Polytechnic Institute pursues an oppressive education method, and the students invited to study here are all specially recruited, so they will have an additional research report equivalent to a graduation defense, which is usually conducted in the third year after admission.

But Xuezhi was an exception. After only one and a half years, she took the initiative to propose to give research and study reports together with her seniors.

The topic of the report is about the improvement of automated engineering transmission equipment. The ideas and thoughts are good, but the topic itself is not outstanding and it is difficult to gain the recognition of the tutors.

In addition, when giving a report on the stage, Xue Zhi was too nervous and did not explain many details clearly, so he only got a passing score.

Admittedly, it is already amazing for a girl to achieve such results at this age and at this time. Unfortunately, most of the invited students at Tremont Polytechnic Institute are very outstanding, and she is really not conspicuous.

Only Christen, who had observed her several times, discovered that Snow Pheasant's true talent was buried in these low-level mechanical structure topics, and her novel and advanced ideas could be fully used in higher-level scientific research.

For example, energy transmission and automation are currently plaguing all countries on Terra.
