"If it were in the outside world, if someone saw the Originium crystal, they would be lucky to be chased away. Most people would be caught and imprisoned to die. I really don't understand why you want to see it."

Facing Frost Star's words, Roya's consciousness continued to cover and sense her physical condition. He found that it was really a miracle that she could stand here alive. Most of her organs were probably assimilated with the Originium, so they were so heavy, and every battle would make the situation worse.

Is this the infected person? Luo Ya nodded slightly, and after weighing it for a moment, he put on that casual smile again.

"Indeed, there's nothing to see. After all, I can't see it. But... I want to change the current situation of the infected. Do you believe me?"

"Come on, you're not infected, so of course you don't understand the suffering of the infected. I get frostbite even when I touch someone, so I can't hug anyone. But you're a good person, and I recognize that."

Shuangxing just shook her head. Some pain can only be understood by the person involved. Others cannot empathize with it. However, she is sure that Luo Ya is not a bad person. This guy is just a good person who is hard to hate.

"Indeed, I am not infected, and I don't know what kind of pain this disease will bring, let alone what kind of inhuman treatment the infected people have suffered in other places."

Nodding in agreement with Frost Star's words, Roya reached out his hand without hesitation and before anyone could react, he firmly grasped Frost Star's hand, along with the black Originium crystals.

Bright red, hot blood dripped from his palm onto the ground and then began to burn. Ignoring everyone's surprise, Luo Ya just smiled at Frost Star.

"But I can be."

Roya's blood kept falling on Frost Star's arm, but unexpectedly it was not as hot as the blood on the ground and burned. There was only an indescribable warmth. Roya was deliberately trying not to let the blood burn her.

This made Frost Star stunned. Even Patriot and Tallulah didn't react to what Roya was doing, but the next moment he chose to hug Frost Star's body directly, causing the Snow Monster Princess to freeze instantly.

"you……"

"Look, there is still someone who can hug you."

Luo Ya's voice was very soft, and only Frost Star could hear it. He felt a biting cold in his arms, as if he was holding an ice sculpture. He even lifted Frost Star up a little so that her toes were off the ground.

"You're not that heavy after all."

His consciousness gradually blurred. Luo Ya put Frost Star down and felt a little unsteady on his feet.

Everything happened so suddenly that Tallulah was the first to come to her senses and rushed forward to take away Roya's hand, but he was already drowsy. The moment he held the Frost Star Originium, he felt a lot of complicated memories and consciousness impacting his mind.

"Roya! Roya!"

Seeing Roja fainted in her arms, Tallulah quickly picked him up and ran towards the medical team. Without any protective measures, he came into contact with the human body's Originium crystals and got wounded. The probability of contracting oripathy was 99%.

For the first time, Tallulah realized that she could be so anxious for a younger brother whom she had only known for a few days.

Chapter 108: Awakening of Roya (4k)

Oripathy, infected people, in fact, these things are not so scary to Roja. For him, who can only live for more than a year each time and will be resurrected after death, oripathy is just a temporary negative state, and it is not like the blindness caused by excessive use of abilities that will remain permanently, so he reached out without hesitation at that time.

It is impossible to understand the infected without being infected yourself. This is the idea of ​​most people in the Reunion Movement, including Frost Star. Just like when Abrana called on the Tara people based on their bloodline, the Reunion Movement will probably take a path of uniting the infected, but they should not just unite the infected.

Since they think that only infected people can empathize, then Roya will become an infected person first. He must first prove that his determination is not just words, and then he will have the qualifications to make others believe in him.

Complex emotions, complicated memories. At the moment when the sharp Originium crystal cut his palm, Luo Ya finally understood why he had failed to use his ability to "cure" Xiao Ke's mineral disease, because the essence of Originium was not a disease, at least not a disease in his understanding, but something more complicated.

But the reason why he fainted at that time was actually very simple, because the Originium showed extreme resistance when it touched his blood. It, or they, did not want to infect Roya. It was a kind of fear and awe, mixed with more complicated emotions.

"But...it still hurts."

He gritted his teeth and slowly sat up. Because he was blind, he couldn't react at first whether he was dreaming or had returned to reality. However, the next moment, Tallulah's call made him immediately realize where he was.

"Luo Ya, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Tallulah clenched her fists anxiously, and her eyes were filled with worry. The temperature was not high, and it was estimated that Frost Star was also in the room. Roya wanted to cover his head, but his right hand was still wrapped in bandages, and so was his left hand. He was afraid that he would have to eat porridge.

"I'm fine, um... huh?"

He had only said half of his words when he sat on the bed in a daze. Luo Ya suddenly stopped responding, like a dull robot.

This made Frost Star and Tallulah anxious. Roya's behavior just now had basically doomed him to suffer from oripathy. Now he was behaving like this again. It was hard not to worry.

But before either of them could speak, Luo Ya just shook his head and leaned back a little, with a strange look on his face, as if he had lost his wallet and found a winning lottery ticket. He really didn't know how to express himself.

"Ah wait, I'm fine, I'm fine, I just remembered something, how are those five guys?"

Only Tallulah and Froststar were conscious in the room. Roya estimated that the interrogation of the five people was handed over to the Patriots, and Froststar did not hide anything about it.

"He secretly used the food and cotton clothes that the logistics team leader Ivan and the medical team leader Aryan had withheld to support two families in Xuan'er Village. The men in their families died while hunting, leaving only the elderly and children. Without those supplies, they might not survive the winter.

"As for the other three, Combat Team Leaders Anson and Brof wanted to betray the Reunion Movement. They threatened Ivan with their families to prepare enough supplies for them to escape. Educator Pavel was captured by the patrol team a week ago. He was coerced and bribed into becoming a spy planted by Ursus. He was also the one who persuaded the first two to escape."

The whole ward was quiet for a while. Luo Ya really wanted to move his fingers, but he didn't know who had tied the bandage so tightly. However, after thinking about it, he came up with a solution.

"Ivan and Aryan will be demoted and given a serious warning. Send people to check the surrounding villages that have contact with the Reunion Movement to see if there are similar situations. If anyone cannot survive this winter, they can be invited to the Reunion Movement camp for shelter. If they are unwilling to come, give them enough supplies.

"As for the remaining three, Anson and Brof were temporarily detained, and Pavel was killed directly."

Rewards and punishments are measured, and merits and demerits are clearly distinguished. Roya is not the kind of person who holds grudges, and he usually retaliates on the spot, but strictly speaking, Ivan and Aryan are not simply acting out of personal gain.

If it was before, Roya, who had no position in the Reunion Movement, would have no right to issue orders, but it was different now. Froststar nodded to show that she knew, and then looked at Roya's left hand with complicated emotions in her eyes. She wanted to say something but couldn't, but Tallulah had already expressed her thoughts first.

"Is it necessary to do this, just to... get them to approve of you?"

This statement made Roya raise his eyebrows, and then shook his head to indicate that Tallulah and Frost Star were wrong, and he was not such an impulsive person.

"The five of them are not worth doing this for me. As for the Ore Disease, although it is nothing to be afraid of for me, I want to ask you, sister, do you think there are few people in the Reunion Movement who feel the same way as them that 'non-infected and infected people cannot understand each other'?"

Tallulah hesitated for a moment, then shook her head in denial. Rather than saying that there were very few, it would be more accurate to say that more than 90% of the infected people in the entire Reunion Movement actually held such thoughts deep in their hearts. They had all been bullied by others because of their oripathy to varying degrees, and there was an incurable shadow deep in their hearts.

Frost Star subconsciously looked down at herself. Indeed, she had the same idea. She had always felt that the infected and the non-infected were in two different worlds.

An organization composed of infected people, if Patriot and Tallulah had not led them forward while also restraining their actions, who knows what these infected people who are extremely jealous of normal people would do? They would only think about sharing their pain, even if the object of revenge has nothing to do with themselves. Venting hatred does not need a reason.

With his hands tied, Roya could only tap the floor with his tail as a distraction while thinking, confirming his current condition as he spoke.

"Do you think the infected people in other parts of Terra would have the same idea?"

This was another question with an obvious answer. Tallulah nodded. Although Ursus's policy towards the infected was more brutal and inhumane, in the final analysis, the infected would not have a good life in other places.

"So don't think of me as an impulsive person. Are the five of them qualified? What I want is not to bring them down, but the prerequisite of being able to face all the infected people face to face."

The infected not only exist in Ursus, but discrimination against the infected also exists in Ursus, Victoria, Casimir, and Lungmen. Roya has actually seen many infected people, but compared to Ursus, the conflicts among the infected in other places are not as acute, but they are also brewing and fermenting.

Roja was a little depressed because his motives were misunderstood, but the resurrection after death was still his secret for the time being. He could not tell Tallulah and Shuangxing, otherwise the trust relationship they had just established with great difficulty would be shaken. Tallulah's mental state was unexpectedly stable, which was beyond Roja's expectation. It was estimated that the two of them had discussed something before he woke up.

When Tallulah heard what Roya said, a burning flame suddenly appeared on the tip of her tail. She wanted to pinch his ears and slap him if she could, but now she could only scold Roya verbally.

"But you are too impulsive. I will do this. Now... the Integration Movement does not have any sophisticated medical equipment and cannot help you. The risk of infection is basically 100%. Why do you have to become infected?"

Covering her head, she wished she could use the horns on her head to hit Roya's heart directly. Tallulah was really mad at this stupid brother. Now she no longer doubted whether Roya was her brother. With his stubborn mind and his character of not caring about anything when he was angry, he was definitely one of her own!

"Since you care so much about this... Sister, let me tell you a story."

Luo Ya leaned lightly against the pillow, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible. The worst thing about being a Draco was that his tail was too troublesome, and leaning like this would crush his tail.

........................

A long time ago, there was a disabled beggar begging in a city. A gentleman dressed in gorgeous clothes saw him, walked up to him and asked, "Sir, why don't you wear clean clothes?"

The beggar stepped back somewhat embarrassedly and said, "My lord, I don't have money to change into a decent set of clothes. I don't even have money to eat."

The gentleman was obviously confused. He squatted down curiously and looked at the ugly face. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and asked again: "What you said is really strange. How can you need money to eat? You just need to tell the servant what you want to eat, and the food will be served on the table, right?"

"But I have no servants, sir. I am only a pauper, and paupers need to cook for themselves."

Facing the beggar's answer, the gentleman couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes flashing with disappointment and disdain for the beggar, and his tone became a little unhappy, "My grandfather's grandfather was also a pauper, so I know it's not easy to be a pauper, but as long as you work hard, you can reach my position. It seems that you are not working hard enough, what a pity."

"How can you understand the difficulties of the poor? You have never known what it feels like to have no food to eat. Sometimes I even have to eat grass roots and tree bark to fill my stomach!"

Facing the angry beggar, the noble gentleman laughed proudly, "You stupid beggar who is full of lies, if you have no food to eat, why not eat cake? Who would eat grass roots and tree bark? My pets don't eat those. I won't help a liar like you."

The noble gentleman left proudly like a victorious rooster, and the bowl in front of the beggar was still empty, nothing had changed.

……

"So, do you understand now?"

Luo Ya used his tail to pick up the water cup on the bedside and took a sip of water to make his throat feel better. Although his story has been changed a little, it should not be that difficult to understand.

Of course, Tallulah and Froststar understood what the story was trying to say, and they also understood Roya's actions to some extent. Roya's tail continued to slap the floor, and his tone was casual but calm.

“In fact, in the eyes of many people in the integration movement, I, a normal outsider, am just an aristocratic gentleman who does not understand their suffering, cannot comprehend their circumstances, and even stands high and blames them for their misfortunes.

"Just like that nobleman, who said so much but was unwilling to give even a dollar of charity, was just making excuses for his hypocrisy."

Therefore, Roya needs to prove that he has the courage to stand with them, and prove that he is not a hypocritical person who only talks big. He cannot use violence to intimidate, because the Integration Movement is not like Longmen. Doing so will only lay a greater hidden danger and cause the Integration Movement to disintegrate directly in the future. What Roya has to do is different from before.

He also couldn't try to explain to these guys who had never even stepped out of the snowfield why they should go to Victoria or Casimir. These people didn't even know the direction of Victoria. There was no need to talk to them about the changes in the situation on Terra. If you said you wanted to go to Kazdel, they would ask you which village it was.

First of all, he needed to make Tallulah, Froststar and the Patriots trust him, and secondly, the other people in the Integration Movement. Roya estimated that the news that he had voluntarily contracted the Ore Disease would have spread by now, so it would be much easier to mobilize the others.

Tallulah already understood Roya's plan, but she really felt it was a pity. She wanted to do something but couldn't. If the equipment here was good enough, Roya's risk of infection would be much lower, but it was unlikely now.

That is why Tallulah understood more than ever how backward and weak the Integration Movement was. There were obvious shortcomings in all aspects. Their medical department could only do some simple bandaging. Tallulah pursed her lips, her tone filled with loss and sadness.

"But Luo Ya, although you can talk to the infected people face to face in the future, but...how are you going to interact with normal people? You said that we should not only focus on the infected people, but now..."

“I’m not infected.”

Roya interrupted Tallulah and felt that his cheap sister and Froststar's eyes seemed to become more sad and self-blaming. He realized that the two of them might think that he was comforting them so that they wouldn't be too sad.

Reluctantly, Roja used the black flame to burn off the bandage on his left hand, and showed his intact hand to Tallulah and Froststar.

"Look, the wound has healed. If we can do some detailed examination, the result will not be much different from before."

Although the secret of resurrection cannot be revealed, some things can still be confessed. He can take this opportunity to show his extraordinary recovery ability. Even if Tallulah and others investigate his identity as the deputy director of the Guard Bureau, he can explain that he was not dead at the time, but was buried because of serious injuries, and then left Longmen or something.

Looking at Roya's intact palm, Frost Star and Tallulah were speechless for a moment, and then Tallulah excitedly rushed over, making Roya deeply realize one thing - Draco's horn that could pierce a pillow was really not a lie.

"Ow!!!!"

Chapter 109: Conversation with Tallulah (7k)

Facts have proved that sometimes danger does not necessarily come from the enemy, but may also come from comrades and one's dear sister. Luo Ya has experienced this deeply.

"In the future, I might be able to develop a kind of horn set specifically for Vaifan and Drake, as well as species like dragons that can stab people to death. Well, I also need to make a bed for Drake to rest well."

While complaining, Luo Ya got out of bed. Although he used his lifespan to speed up the recovery of his injuries, Luo Ya still felt a dull pain in his chest. Fortunately, Chen Huijie did not think of this trick at that time, and he would have either chopped or kicked Luo Ya, otherwise Luo Ya would have had to retire early in Longmen.

Feeling guilty, Tallulah stood obediently by the side and wiped the blood off the corner. When she thought about how she had just lost her composure and bumped into him, causing Roya to be injured for the second time, she felt a little embarrassed, and her apology voice was a little weak.

"sorry."

Frost Star rolled her eyes at Tallulah. She was so scared just now that she almost thought Tallulah was going to kill Roya and almost took action.

However, it was because of Tallulah's collision that Roja demonstrated in front of the two people how terrible his recovery ability was. The two holes that were so big were restored in just a few seconds. This kind of recovery ability is definitely not something a normal person can have.

"So Roya, you really don't have oripathy, are you sure?"

Tallulah was still a little anxious and worried. She wanted to carry Roya to the best hospital for a checkup. Roya knew that this was indeed a little hard to imagine. He was also surprised that he didn't get the mineral disease. But what he didn't expect was that the voice in his mind seemed to be more humane than before, as if it had a distinct tone. The most important thing was...

[Remaining life: 12780 hours]

The remaining life span was obviously abnormal. When he met Tallulah a few days ago, there were still 12789 hours left. Compared with that time, now it was only less than half a day. It was because of this voice that Roya was stunned just now, but he couldn't tell others this secret, and he was not sure whether it was the change brought by the Originium, so he could only reach out to the two people.

"Do you need me to do that again to prove that I'm okay?"

“Don’t give me that!” Before Tallulah could say anything, Froststar was furious, with her rabbit ears stretched straight. “If you dare to do this again, I will freeze you into an ice sculpture!”

Now, the look in Talulah's eyes when she looked at Frost Star was very problematic. No, sister, this is my brother. Why are you so anxious when I haven't even spoken yet?

Luo Ya knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would be in the wrong. He could only nod his head to show that he knew he was wrong. After all, it was not appropriate to hug Shuangxue at that time. He admitted that he was wrong, but Shuangxing did not seem to intend to let Luo Ya go and continued to scold him.

"Also, it's fine if you suddenly grabbed a girl's hand, but you even picked her up. Do you believe that I will ask that old stubborn guy to kill you with a spear?

"My arms are all covered in blood, and my clothes are dirty, too. Look..."

Shuangxing originally wanted to show her arm to Luoya, but suddenly she remembered that Luoya couldn't see. It was just that he behaved like a normal person in daily life, so people subconsciously ignored the fact that he couldn't see at all. In fact, he also had many difficulties, but no one noticed.

"I'm so sorry, I can't see you, but I can touch you. Can I shake your hand and apologize to you?"

Realizing that Froststar was in some kind of entanglement and regret, Roya took the initiative to reach out her hand. Tallulah wanted to say that Froststar's body temperature might freeze him and was afraid that Roya would do something terrifying again, but Roya's tail gently pulled her tail, signaling her sister not to fail to read the atmosphere at this time.

Frost Star stared at Luo Ya's hand. She still remembered that the last time she hugged someone was more than ten years ago. At that time, the Patriot saved her and gave her a hug and hope of survival despite the risk of frostbite. And now another man reached out his hand to her with such a relaxed and casual smile.

She stretched out her hand to touch him, but was afraid of hurting Luoya so she wanted to take it back. Shuangxing's thoughts kept changing in an instant. Just as she was about to take her hand back, Luoya took the initiative to lean forward and hold her hand.

The biting cold was enough to frostbite one's fingers. Roya used Draco's power to provide Frost Star with warmth without burning her. This was what he learned from Rafshini. Just feeling the temperature of Frost Star, Roya muttered subconsciously.
