Panting heavily, he half-kneeled on the ground and supported his body with the Lieyang Sword, barely letting himself fall down.
His left arm hangs down limply, bent unnaturally, his chest collapses, his whole body is bloody, and there is almost no complete piece of flesh.
Blood flowed down from his body like a stream, staining a large area of frozen soil red.
And the situation of the girl opposite was not much better.
Of the two huge palms made of Houkai energy, one of them has completely disappeared, and the other is also covered with cracks like spider webs, as if it will be completely shattered after another attack.
The girl's abdomen was also cut open, and the internal organs inside were chopped up together. If ordinary people suffered such injuries, they would have died on the spot.
But the girl was still alive, the wound on her abdomen was exposed to the air like that, but not even a drop of blood flowed out, as if the blood in her body had been drained long ago.
"Only ... the strength of the final blow remains."
Lord gritted his teeth, stood up with difficulty, and looked at the girl.
He has reached the limit, and even the rock element can no longer be driven, and he can only barely maintain the existence of Lieyang Sword.
Raising his sword, Lord lowered his body and launched a final rush.
The palm that was on the verge of breaking slapped Lord with a howling wind, trying to block Lord's attack.
Lord had no strength left to dodge, so he could only squeeze out the last bit of strength in his body and charge forward.
However, the palm suddenly stopped in place.
Lord raised his head in astonishment, but saw the girl smile, and her chapped lips opened and closed slightly.
"kill me......"
Thus, Lord gritted his teeth and charged forward, and the sharp point of the sword successfully penetrated the girl's heart.
The girl's powerless body fell to the ground, and the Honkai palm dissipated.
The exhausted Lord couldn't maintain the existence of the Lieyang Sword, and without support, he fell beside the girl.
The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Lord's consciousness gradually fell into darkness.
At this time, he heard a weak, hoarse voice whispering softly.
"thanks......"
"..."
"I said it all, don't thank me..."
After 28 meetings
North America, anti-entropy headquarters, after the executor meeting.
Cocolia had a gloomy face, her high-heeled military boots thumped on the metal floor, and she walked straight to where Edward was.
The people along the way saw Cocolia's icy expression, coupled with the aura of killing anyone who dares to stop me, and then thought of the dispute between the two people in the meeting just now, they all consciously stepped aside , Even the voices of the discussions were quieted down.
Almost everyone turned their attention to Edward and Cocolia.
And Edward naturally noticed Cocolia who was striding forward, and he showed an appreciative smile looking at the outstanding junior like an easy-going old senior.
"Ms. Cocolia, what's the matter? What can I do for you..."
Cocolia hit Edward's old face directly with a powerful jab, and stuffed all the words behind him back into his stomach by physical means.
Then he grabbed Edward's meticulous hair and pulled back his leaning body. He pressed down hard, raised his leg and hit him with a knee, then let go, and kicked Edward's abdomen with a powerful roundabout kick, knocking him all over. Everyone was kicked out.
After playing a set of combo, Cocolia glanced at the executors who were also members of the decadent faction with indifferent and evil eyes, turned and left without saying a word.
And everyone who was caught by her gaze shuddered.
Edward spat out a few bloody teeth, stood up with the support of his subordinates, and wiped the blood overflowing from his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, quite embarrassed.
But he didn't say much, didn't question Cocolia, protested her atrocities, and just left silently.
After boarding the spaceship, his cronies asked Edward cautiously.
"My lord, why did you just...?"
"You want to ask me why I swallowed my anger? Don't bother Cocolia?"
"Yes, please forgive me for overstepping."
"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it."
"As you know, our plan failed again this time."
When it came to the failure of the plan, Edward did not show any disappointment or anger, but instead showed a slightly weird smile.
"When I heard the news that the plan failed, I was very angry."
"However, the monitoring device temporarily installed on Mecha Ji Ghost made me see some incredible things."
"And the value of this thing is much higher than that of Machina Ghost, the man-made controllable small Honkai, and even the woman Cocolia."
Hearing this, the confidant couldn't help asking curiously: "What is it?"
Edward glanced at him, and said lightly: "You don't need to know about this."
"......Yes."
Originally, Edward thought that there was something wrong with the plan, or that there was a hidden stake planted by Cocolia inside him, which leaked the news, so that Cocolia reacted in time and brought the tactical mech unit to make a quick return visit.
But when he saw the video uploaded to the cloud by Ji Jigui's monitoring device one second before he lost his vital signs, his face suddenly changed like a Sichuan opera.
He never imagined that the boy named Lord Edrick, who was completely ignored by him at the beginning, was hiding so deeply that he was very likely to have a natural stigmata.It was also because of him that the previous plan failed.
But Edward didn't feel remorse at all, instead he had other thoughts.
"I remember that in the X-10 experiment that Cocolia was in charge of, the last subject was not found?" Edward asked.
"Yes, she is still using various channels and means to find suitable experimental subjects."
"Then, let's find a way to stop her." Edward's cheeks and bridge of the nose were still in hot pain, but he didn't care about the pain now, and said with a sneer, "Don't let her find the last suitable experimental subject."
"Understood, I will give orders."
"Such a simple task, surely you won't fail again?"
The fluffy words came, but the body of the confidant trembled, and cold sweat broke out in an instant, and he nodded in agreement.
Instead of managing his frightened subordinates, Edward began to close his eyes and meditate.
His plan this time is very simple, to find a way to prevent Cocolia from finding the last test subject, and the X-10 experiment will stagnate due to the lack of test subjects.
But many people don't want the experiment to stop.At this time, Edward will unite these people to put pressure on Cocolia, forcing her to choose children from the orphanage as experimental subjects again.
Before the experiment started, Cocolia could still firmly oppose the suggestion of using children as experimental subjects, but when the experiment reached the final step, would she still be able to withstand the pressure?
And when she can't bear the pressure and has no choice but to compromise, she will definitely choose the best one among the children.
So, who is the child with the least experimental risk and the best success rate?
Naturally, it was Lord Edric who had a natural stigmata.
If the experiment is successful, then Edward will snatch Lord at all costs, and use various means to firmly control Lord in his hands.
If the experiment fails, that's fine too.All the experimental subjects who failed the experiment before ushered in death. Lord may not die, but the situation is definitely not much better.
In this way, without the owner of a natural stigmata, coupled with the complete failure of the experiment, the power of Cocolia's side will be greatly weakened.
No matter what, you won't lose.
......
Inside the anti-entropy headquarters.
A red-haired pair with ponytails and a blue curly-haired man stood in the dark, silently watching the backs of Cocolia and Edward as they left.
A moment later, the red-haired twintails poked the blue curly hair on one side with their elbows.
"Jiwotou, what do you think?"
"what?"
"Cocolia and Edward." The red-haired pair of ponytails pushed up the glasses: "It seems that when we were concentrating on research, there was a lot of chaos inside the anti-entropy, and it was a bit smoky."
"Yes." Blue Curly said, her voice was a little lazy: "As for the two you mentioned..."
"Edward didn't seem to be like this when he was young, did he?"
"Yeah, he wasn't like that at that time. He was capable but knew how to restrain himself and take steps step by step. He was courageous but knew how to be cautious and step by step. He had beautiful ideals and wanted to help the world with pure kindness. People who suffer..."
Hongmao sighed: "But in the end, I was addicted to the quagmire of desire woven by money and power and couldn't extricate myself, and even lost the bottom line of being a human being."
"So it will be a matter of time before he is liquidated. But it seems that this matter should be handed over to Cocolia." Lan Mao glanced at his old friend: "Also, don't you know it very well, Dr. Tesla?"
"Whispering, I just want to ask your opinion." Tesla turned his head, snorted softly, and continued to ask: "What about Cocolia? What do you think of her? Is it possible to participate in our plan?" middle?"
"Cocolia...?" Einstein pondered for a moment: "She has good abilities, is tough and ambitious, and although she acts cruelly, she has a certain bottom line and conscience... always It is a candidate who can come in handy.”
"so......?"
"It's not easy to make a conclusion like this now, let's observe for a while."
29 Awakening
Lord felt that he was in a state of chaos. He couldn't feel his body, like a rootless duckweed, floating with the waves in the boundless darkness.
He was thinking hard, trying to figure out what was going on, but it seemed that someone had used an electric drill to stir up his mind, and all kinds of thoughts were in a mess.
Fuck, it’s not cold, is it?
This thought suddenly flashed through his mushy mind, and he suddenly felt a little numb.
Don't want this kind of thing!
Um?wait... what sound?
"Lord...Lord...Lord!!"
Sounds like Cocolia's voice?
"Wait a minute, he's still breathing! He's not dead yet! Save someone!"
It turns out I'm not dead yet, so that's fine.
"Lord Cocolia, don't worry, Anti-Entropy's medical level is still very strong, and Master Lord is very hard-working, and he will definitely be fine!"
Hey, I told you not to call me young master.Don't you feel awkward when you call it yourself?
"..."
Listening, perhaps because he knew that he was not dead, Lord's high hanging heart was relieved at once, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
"Brother Luode... What's wrong with Brother Luode?"
"Mother Cocolia, what happened? Why did brother Lord get such a serious injury? Please tell Bronya."
"Sorry, it's my mother who was negligent this time..."
"..."
"Doctor, how is Lord?"
"His physical fitness is very strong, and he has survived the most dangerous time. However, his injuries are too serious, and he is still in a coma. It is better to live in the survival room until he wakes up."
"Understood, thank you for your hard work."
"..."
"Sister Bronya and Brother Lord have been in a coma for two days...why haven't they woke up yet?"
"Brother Luode is seriously injured, coma is a protective measure for the body. Don't worry, brother Luode will be fine!"
"Um......"
"..."
"The other me, Brother Lord, will be fine and wake up...right?"
[It will definitely, he is a big brother, he will definitely wake up. 】
"..."
"Lilia, when will Brother Lord wake up? I miss the delicious food that Brother Lord made, and I still want to play with Brother Lord."
"Lilia doesn't know either, but Lilia also wants to play with brother Lord."
"Brother Luode, wake up quickly..."
