Qingcheng Xie is sitting quietly in his cell.

His eyes were covered with snow-white bandages, which were still oozing with blood.

The cook who had been in charge of his diet came to bring him another meal, and this time he finally had a bowl of porridge.

Halfway through the congee, the door to the cell was opened and some of Dela Man's lab workers came in, this time without any blood-trap test, but directly to Qingcheng Xie, saying, "Time's up.

"...... Oh." Qingcheng Xie is still calm, "Finally confirmed."

"......"

"There's still some porridge left." He said lightly, "I'll finish it and leave."

It is strange to say, obviously not something that must be agreed to him, but in the face of this even if the hard gouge out the eyes of the man did not show the slightest weakness, those researchers but can not refuse.

They stood in place and waited.

A little later, Yu He finally came here in person.

"Mr. He."

"Hello, Mr. He."

The researchers were not as high ranking as Yu He, and when they saw Yu He, they immediately bowed their heads and eyes and greeted him.

Qingcheng Xie's hand, holding the porcelain spoon, also paused slightly.

Yu He ignored the researchers, he walked into the room and his eyes fell on Qingcheng Xie's body.

He saw the man who was about to become a living donor, sitting at the table with his back straight. Because of the loss of light, Qingcheng Xie's movement of drinking porridge became very slow, he slightly sideways, the thin face in the cold tone of the light, showing a thin jade-like pale.

Qingcheng Xie is completely blind.

Yu He looked at him, and inexplicably, his heart was suddenly very stuffy and boring, like being stabbed hard - but he didn't know why.

The man just sat there quietly.

It is an old saying that the deaf are foolish and the blind are wise, because the deaf cannot hear the sound and always shout and appear reckless, while the blind cannot see anything and tend to concentrate and behave cautiously and quietly, which is a similar expression that Yu He once read in "The Spring Harp".

He still remembers the Spring Harp, and also remembers that he used to follow the example of the male lead in the Spring Harp, massaging Qingcheng Xie's feet and tucking them into his arms for warmth. He also remembers Qingcheng Xie, remembering all the things that happened, but his mind has been controlled and forcibly implanted into the transformation, he does not have the slightest feeling for Qingcheng Xie.

That tenderness should all be gone.

A voice inside his head kept telling him what to do, and he vaguely resisted, but the voice was like a giant beast subduing his chest, overwhelming him completely.

He just looked at him blind.

Numbness.

Stifling.

He didn't know why he wanted to cry, but his heart felt like it was frozen, and no tears came out.

From the beginning to the end, there was dead silence.

After finishing the remaining porridge, Qingcheng Xie slowly put down his spoon and raised his head, roughly in the direction of Yu He.

It was Qingcheng Xie who finally broke this silence.

"So it was you who came to see me off." The voice was deep and calm, as it had been in the past.

Yu He : "Yeah."

After a few seconds pause, "Is there anything else you want to say."

"......" Qingcheng Xie was quiet for a while, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he only smiled lightly, the smile was too light and too gentle, like a peach jellyfish floating past, in his bloodless face, transparent to Almost invisible.

At the end, he and the man said, "It's okay, it's nothing."

He said, stood up himself, judged the direction roughly, and took two steps forward.

Yu He frowned, and some emotion seemed to be heavily tugged deep in his brain. He thought how this person is such a superior temperament, independent used to, even blind have to rely on their own walk.

As he was thinking about it, Qingcheng Xie accidentally touched a corner of the table and tilted his body.

"Beware."

"......"

By the time Yu He himself reacted, he was already holding the man's hand as if it were a habit that ran deep into his bones.

But the next second, Yu He felt a sharp pain in his cranium like a crack, his brain seemed to turn on some punishment mechanism, he couldn't help but release his hand, took a deep breath, turned his head to the researcher standing by the door and said, "Take him downstairs. I'll be right behind you."

"Yes!"

Qingcheng Xie was flanked by researchers and passed Yu He by the wrong side.

When the two crossed paths, Qingcheng Xie stopped and after a pause, he said, "...... kid ...... thank you."

Thank him for what?

Why do you have to thank him when you lose your sight ...... Why do you have to thank him when he is sending him to surgery?

Why are so, but also call him a kid ...... why ......

Just thinking about it, Yu He felt as if his soul was being cut open! It was as if the spirit wanted to break free from the body and embrace the man who was drifting away from him from behind. Hold him, let him not go.

Don't go.

He was trembling minutely, his molars clacking, holding back that inexplicable heart-rending pain.

Close your eyes ......

"Click."

The door, at last, closed behind him.

When the footsteps slowly disappeared, Yu He leaned against the door of this cell as if he was exhausted, his gaze still directed at the place where Qingcheng Xie had been sitting quietly with his eyes downcast.

There was still a beam of light shining down there, and the emaciated man under the beam had left.

Yu He lifted his hand, his fingertips were cold and shaking, and touched his heart...

Dela Man's dogma is the highest.

Any sacrifice is worth it.

There is no such thing as an irreplaceable person.

These words were like a spell that bound his soul, fiercely sealing and imprisoning the dragon that hissed in his heart.

With a bang, the dragon sinks into the abyss!

The last ray of warmth that escaped from his heart was when Qingcheng Xie sat across from him on his twentieth birthday and calmly said to him through the fog of the hot pot -

"Happy birthday."

He tilted his head, gasping for breath, the controller on his chest emitted a fluorescent red light, a long-ago gentle wish that eventually spread like a ripple, slowly ......

It has returned to dead silence.

.

Qingcheng Xie eventually went through a secret passage and was taken to the bunker lab.

The deepest part of Dela Man Island was heavily guarded, and he was pushed in a wheelchair all the way down, eventually passing through three thick alloy blast doors and arriving in the exaggeratedly large basement.

The last heavy door closed behind him.

Qingcheng Xie was pushed into the center of the underground laboratory.

There stood two riot-proof transfer capsules made of special glass, which looked like huge capsules. The device looks simple, but the security factor is so high that few weapons can destroy the device and harm its contents.

This is where the brain transplant is about to take place.

Cuizhen Duan had opened his arms and was lying in one of the capsule pods, the other empty one was for Qingcheng Xie. Behind this device, a group of transformers and transformed hyenas stood in black, they were responsible for guarding the whole ceremony, currently all on standby, the control ring on their foreheads blinked like a pair of red eyes, lighting up countless dark red stars in the darkness.

Dongni An and several other senior researchers are busy in front of the large and complex device, as Dongni An performs the final calculations on Qingcheng Xie's DNA sample.

Wen Duan was sitting in the main chair where Cuizhen Duan sat before, and behind him stood Yun Li, who was expressionless, as if he was in a state of mindfulness.

He watched the researcher push Qingcheng Xie all the way closer, eventually stopping at the bottom of his steps, a few meters away. Opening his mouth, he said, "You're here."

"I'm coming."

"Is there any last thing you want to account for."

"No." Qingcheng Xie said, "It's time for you to keep your promise."

Wen Duan : "......"

For Qingcheng Xie really just handed down this thing, Wen Duan is not so convinced, until this moment he is still very alert, although into this basement just full body scan can be inside and outside the body of even a less than 0.5 millimeters of shrapnel are clearly checked, he is still wary of him.

Wen Duan slowly got up and walked to Qingcheng Xie, looking at him from above. Look at his sick and decaying face, snow-white gauze, blood oozing from the gauze, blood under the sunken eyes.

That's weird ......

Why does it make him feel so uneasy when he is obviously a person crippled like this?

It was clear that there was no metal on his body except the shackles holding him, so why did it still make him feel so dangerous?

Wen Duan did not relax as he said to Qingcheng Xie, "I will make good on my promise to release Yu He and release him from mind control. Please go into the bio-pod first."

Qingcheng Xie, however, said, "Please let him go first. When he returns, you contact the commander of the Dreambreaker and explain the situation in front of me, and I will confirm his safe arrival and volunteer to enter the capsule to cooperate with your operation."

"......"

"That's the order we agreed on before, Wen Duan ."

Wen Duan did not answer, but Cuizhen Duan's voice rang out.

She was already in the cabin, her voice was coming out through the cabin's loudspeaker, and her brittle childish voice sounded treacherous at this point.

"Primarch, now it's the situation that has changed." Cuizhen Duan said, "We have to operate first, and Yu He has to stay here until the operation is completed, unless you have the ability to get the dream-breakers outside who escaped from the prison to stop their attacks."

Qingcheng Xie heard Cuizhen Duan's words, but did not look up in Cuizhen Duan's direction, his face was still facing where Wen Duan was standing: "Are you going to break your word?"

"...... Don't worry, I'll let him go back once the surgery is over."

Qingcheng Xie was quiet for a moment: " Yun Li said the power you can never understand, Lisheng Chen."

"What Lisheng Chen, his last name is Duan!" Cuizhen Duan said sternly, "Well, no need to be so nagging, Wen Duan , bring the man here, let's begin!"

Wen Duan took a step forward.

However, Qingcheng Xie opened his mouth, his tone as cold as the ice in the cold days of the ninth.

" Wen Duan , you remember what I told you. As long as I don't want to, even if you get my body, the power of the First Emperor will end."

Wen Duan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

This time, even Cuizhen Duan did not dare to rush, her eyes widened in the cabin, her expression twisted and nervous.

"Just stand there and don't take another step forward, or I will destroy my power immediately."

"......"

Perhaps because Qingcheng Xie was in a wheelchair, followed by the researchers who were escorting his wheelchair, and because he himself was calm and composed, no less so than Wen Duan, he looked surprisingly like an evenly matched big brother, and he didn't back down from the negotiating table.

"You do what we discussed initially." Qingcheng Xie's voice had an undeniable oppressive force in it, "I'm here for him. In this matter, we have no negotiation."

Wen Duan stared at Qingcheng Xie's face, speculating on every word he said, staring at any detail of his facial expression. But Qingcheng Xie's words there is no logical problem, Qingcheng Xie also did not temporarily put forward any excessive demand, as for the expression, it is calm as an ancient well, can not find the slightest place of doubt.

He turned back and glanced toward the taenia enveloped in the biobarn.

Cuizhen Duan's face was tense, she had seen the choice she had to make, there was really no way back, Qingcheng Xie holding the weight of "the ability to self-destruct the first emperor", they seemed to have the initiative, but in fact, until he voluntarily entered the warehouse and then be anesthetized, they are passive.

Cuizhen Duan finally averted his eyes coldly from Wen Duan's face.

This is a tacit signal of approval.

Wen Duan said, "Yes."

"Then, when Yu He comes over, please order him to leave Dela Man and go back to the Dreambreaker side immediately."

About ten minutes later, Yu He came back from his cell.

The door of the underground laboratory opened and closed again as he entered. Yu He went straight to the big test bench, this time he didn't look at Qingcheng Xie anymore, he would be heartbroken at the sight of this person, and as the guardian of Dela Man, he didn't want to do so. But when he came in, he found that everyone seemed to be waiting for him.

He paused for a moment, "What's wrong."

Wen Duan raised his hand and did not explain much, but gave an order directly to Yu He who was standing by the door: "The mission is over, you can go back to the Dream Breaker headquarters."

The words fell, Yu He's controller emitted a stronger light, Yu He was stunned, but the mechanical power was too powerful, enough to brainwash hundreds of people, no one could bear. He did not have time to think, his gaze has suddenly become lax.

Wen Duan : "Satisfied?"

Qingcheng Xie, however, said, "You need to make this order more perfect."

Any loopholes in front of Qingcheng Xie is impossible to be hidden, Wen Duan silent for a moment, continued to fill in: "After returning to the Dreambreaker headquarters, no attacks on the people there, allowing them to unload the blood compulsion mechanical device in front of your heart and destroy it, no need to resist."

Qingcheng Xie thought about it and then nodded slightly.

Wen Duan then dropped his hand, and finally said to Yu He, "Go ahead. Just now."

Yu He was in a fully controlled state at this time, he received the order with no expression, stood up straight and headed for the door, finally looked back at them, pressed the button with a drop, opened the alloy door and walked outside.

A few seconds later, the alloy door closed behind him.

Wen Duan said, "Is that satisfactory?"

"It's OK."

"So--"

Before Wen Duan could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by a panicked voice coming from the large test bench: "Wait!

It's Dongni An!

Dongni An had been absent from their conversation just now as he scrambled at the test bench to finalize the results of Qingcheng Xie's set of DNA analyses, and just as Yu He turned to walk out the door, that algorithm popped up!

"Drip drip drip ......"

The alarm was spinning. At the same time, a bright red value signifying a certain fact pierced Dongni An's peachy eyes.

The blood rushed to his heart so fast that Dongni An's brain almost exploded, his sweat and hair stood on end, and he was so terrified that he screamed: "Don't let Yu He go! Let him come back! Qingcheng Xie is lying to us - he doesn't have the ability to self-destruct the First Emperor's powers! We can just perform the operation!!! No need to ask his permission!!! And I found it in his blood-"

It's too late.

He hadn't finished.

The end of the wheelchair, the eyes destroyed seemingly useless thin man has opened his mouth, he held back to hide the blood compulsion waiting for this moment, he is the closest Cuizhen Duan this moment! This woman, usually there is no way to approach, until now ......

Instantly, in a very firm voice, he sternly ordered in one word

"All present, drop your weapons and sit on the ground, at my command, do not - resist - !!!"
