Chapter 669
s.h.i.+ Sheng could probably guess which gift was referred by that r.e.t.a.r.d.
It must be him that she could not get Jing Xian out of the game.
You have your strategy. I own my solution.
I don’t believe that I can’t triumph a r.e.t.a.r.d.
s.h.i.+ Sheng entered the gaming pod again. It was the same darkness. When the lights appeared again, s.h.i.+ Sheng could feel resistant.
She made herself stable, drew out her sword, and slashed at it.
“Ka-cha!”
It sounded like gla.s.s shattering from the front—the blinding light from the front spread over quickly. s.h.i.+ Sheng lost balance and fell forward.
s.h.i.+ Sheng stepped on her metal sword immediately to stop herself from falling.
s.h.i.+ Sheng took some time to get used to the lighting, then only saw what was at the bottom clearly.
It was a mechanized white room filled with cylindrical gla.s.s jars in the middle. Inside of it was all sorts of people, no less than a hundred.
Everyone appeared to be asleep, standing with their eyes closed in the gla.s.s jars.
“What a pervert!” s.h.i.+ Sheng detested, quickly searched around the jars.
She found Le Jin in a corner, and Jing Xian was next to her. s.h.i.+ Sheng slashed open the gla.s.s jar with her metal sword.
Jing Xian fell out of the jar instantly.
s.h.i.+ Sheng caught him and carried him out.
“Jing Xian.” s.h.i.+ Sheng set him aside, pulled his face mask off. A gorgeous face was exposed. Unlike the youthful look in the game, it was a grown-up, handsome-looking man.
s.h.i.+ Sheng called out his name a few times before Jing Xian woke up.
The blinding light made him squirt his eyes. In front of him was all white and s.h.i.+ny light. Before he could cover his eyes with his hand, another hand covered the light for him.
The light in front of his eyes softened, and he was slowly adjusted to see the person overhead.
Why did she come back?
He could not recall anything other than her last words.
s.h.i.+ Sheng waited for a moment before helped him to get up, “I’ll get you out of here.”
Jing Xian stood up, and his sight was widened. The view in front of him froze him.
What is this place?
“Warning, warning, warning…”
The piercing electronic voice rang throughout the entire place. Red lights were s.h.i.+ning from the bottom of the gla.s.s jars. The whole place was quick to fill with red lights.
“Follow me.” s.h.i.+ Sheng cupped Jing Xian’s face, “everything will be fine as long as you follow me, alright?”
Jing Xian was still in shock.
s.h.i.+ Sheng suddenly got close and kissed him on his pale lips, “trust me.”
His lashes trembled and back off, looking at s.h.i.+ Sheng confusedly. He licked his lips faintly. It was an unconscious movement, but it was so darn s.e.xy.
s.h.i.+ Sheng turned away and looked up.
The place she fell from had already turned into a roof. s.h.i.+ Sheng dragged Jing Xian in the door direction.
“Piang!”
The door was stormed open. Some people in white uniforms showed up at the door, with white firearms in their hands.
They quickly scanned through the whole area and spotted s.h.i.+ Sheng, “Get her!”
s.h.i.+ Sheng clutched onto Jing Xian tightly and dashed out. She slashed through the jars as she pa.s.sed by them.
It was all depending on them whether they could get out of there or not. She did not have time to save them.
Those people were shocked that s.h.i.+ Sheng would charge out so recklessly and fired at her hurriedly.
Instead of bullets, they were firing some sort of laser.
s.h.i.+ Sheng covered Jing Xian while avoiding those lasers, dashed to the door speedily. She slashed open the door with her metal award, and two persons were on the ground right away.
s.h.i.+ Sheng destroyed the door as she rus.h.i.+ngly disappeared there.
The pa.s.sages here were curve and crooked. s.h.i.+ Sheng was tired of running and straight away slashed a way out.
By the time those people got there, they had already lost track of s.h.i.+ Sheng.
……
The girl in the gaming pod opened her eyes. Her chest was inflating and deflating quickly, pumping oxygen into her lungs. The pressure on her body disappeared slowly.
s.h.i.+ Sheng composed herself and got out of the gaming pod, walked to the healing pod next to it.
His eyes were still shut tight in the healing pod, without a trace of waking up.
s.h.i.+ Sheng’s fingers tightened slowly. Did I not bring him out?
“Beep-”
s.h.i.+ Sheng’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She slowly turned around to look at the equipment next to the healing pod. The wavy line on the ECG chart flattened out.
Shoot!
s.h.i.+ Sheng looked at the person in the healing pod. She felt depressed. They had to wait until another dimension to meet again.
However, the beeping voice began to beep again after several seconds.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The boy in the healing pod opened his eyes slowly. His pitch-black iris was filled with confusion.
s.h.i.+ Sheng blinked. The surprise came too sudden. She took a while before opening the healing pod.
“…” Jing Xian opened his mouth, but he could not make a sound.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get you a doctor. Don’t talk and move.” s.h.i.+ Sheng shut the healing pod right away.
She forgot that he was not the same as her. She might have accidentally killed him if she got something wrong.
s.h.i.+ Sheng called the doctor. The doctors’ silhouettes blocked s.h.i.+ Sheng. Jing Xian’s eyes widened to see her shadow through the silhouettes busy helping him.
But he knew that she was there.
After some time, the doctor only managed to complete a check-up on Jing Xian. he shoved many vocabularies to s.h.i.+ Sheng, and s.h.i.+ Sheng could not understand most of it. All she knew that the fact that he woke up was a miracle.
However, the doctor did not know that this miracle happened in numerous places at the same time.
“We will send him to the hospital for a more thorough check-up after his conditions are stable.” The doctor left two nurses to take care of him and left with the others.
“You can rest in this room. I’ll take care of him.” s.h.i.+ Sheng pointed at the adjacent room.
“Are…” the nurse was concerned, “are you sure you can handle this?”
s.h.i.+ Sheng nodded lightly.
Those nurses looked at each other, “then please call us if you need anything.”
The nurses exited the room. s.h.i.+ Sheng grabbed a chair and sat next to the healing pod.
Jing Xian laid inside. He could not see her face clearly because of the lighting.
He was still incapable of speaking. His vocal cord was destroyed. The doctor said it devolved due to years of not speaking. The details needed to be confirmed in a hospital check-up.
Jing Xian stretched his hand, wrote a word on the gla.s.s of the healing pod.
“Yes, I’m.” s.h.i.+ Sheng nodded, “but I don’t look as good as I used to. I can’t do anything about it if you don’t like this face.” you have no other choice.
Jing Xian, “…”
He pondered before writing – that place?
s.h.i.+ Sheng thought about it for a moment, “it’s a conscious world.”
The technology from the future could restore trapped human consciousness, but this technology was forbidden. The consequences were severe if caught.
And to use this technology, the conditions were demanding, unless it was an enormous consortium with the military’s backup, or not it would be impossible to make it.
This is a fictional world. The rules that were written out obviously are not as harsh as in real life.
