Chapter 39 Lingering Memories (2)
After reviewing his memories, Qi Hao finally understood what had happened. Just before his consciousness faded, the Azure Flame Blade Demon possessed him.
"So why can a human like you be possessed?" Azure Flame Blade Demon was completely baffled, as a human's fragile body should not be able to withstand it.
"(?? . ??)>Didn't you come up to me first? How would I know if you don't know?" Qi Hao said nonchalantly, as if he wasn't the one who was possessed.
"I was only thinking about saving you at the time, my body acted purely instinctively, as for you..." Cangyan Rengui looked at the calm Qi Hao and couldn't help but pinch Qi Hao's face. "Your heart is about to explode! Can't you be a little more panicked!"
"(?ˉwˉ?) It's already exploded, what else can you do~~" That's called being calm after dying twice.
At this moment, the screen lit up again, and the unconscious Tan Xiaoshi was awakened by the noisy noise, and could only see blue in front of her.
"Found it! It fell here! The other one is nowhere to be found either, hurry and take it back!" Then everything went black again, and when it lit up again, she had been transported to the base, inside a green petri dish. She was completely weak, her consciousness was blurred, but Qi Hao could clearly see the time on the wall next to him: 2477. The current year was 2482.
“( ′??)?(._.`) You…you’re ten years old, do you know that?” Qi Hao touched the Azure Flame Blade Demon beside him, who was still unaware of what had happened. A strange feeling arose, so much so that he had a slight stomachache.
Upon hearing this, Azure Flame Blade Ghost paused for a moment, his expression turning grim: "Hmm... at least I know now."
The scene changed again. This time, a set of cursed armor was placed into a petri dish by the mechanical arm. The energy of evolution restored Tan Xiaoshi to some consciousness, but she soon fell into a deep sleep again. In Qi Hao's perception, this evolution was only painful. She felt that even evolution was part of an experiment.
Qi Hao and Cang Yan Ren Gui's expressions grew increasingly grim as they watched, and the next scene made Qi Hao regret not having Cang Yan Ren Gui kill the man in the white coat. Qi Hao felt a sharp pain in both hands, and in the scene, Cang Yan Ren Gui's elbows were cut off cleanly.
Excruciating pain struck, and then Azure Flame Blade Demon was forcibly fitted with an alloy arm. Subsequently, the arm underwent inhumane modifications, with the steel and fire attributes clashing at the junction, causing the body to suffer from a constant, explosive pain!
First, I fainted from the pain, then I was awakened by the pain, like a painful cycle.
What followed was relentless experimentation, adjustments, and torture; his arm was disassembled countless times.
The years of suffering disappeared one day, seemingly because the experiment had succeeded. Soon after, Qi Hao and the others rescued her, and in a state of blurred consciousness, the screen went completely black.
Even though it was over, Qi Hao had not yet recovered from the torturous experiments.
Hatred continued to accumulate on the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
"Phew." Qi Hao let out a sharp breath, finally recovering from the pain.
Then Qihao recalled the method that his mother had taught him, hugged her, stroked her, and comforted her wounded heart, saying, "I'm here, don't worry."
"What use are you?" The cold words came from the Azure Flame Blade Demon's mouth, followed by a heart-wrenching sob. As if venting her anger, she roared at Qi Hao, "If it weren't for you humans, I would still be a princess of the kingdom! If it weren't for humans, my parents wouldn't have had to abandon us! If it weren't for humans, I wouldn't have had to endure such pain, to the point that I don't even know what kind of elf I am! But you, human..."
In the end, she still cried. The pain of her parents' disappearance, the pain of five years of experiments, the hatred of being killed by humans and losing her family, and the complex emotions she felt when humans rescued her from the pain all piled up in her heart. As a result, she vented her emotions haphazardly on Qi Hao. Emotions need to be released, otherwise psychological problems will occur, and the longer they are suppressed, the more serious they will become.
Qi Hao didn't say anything, just held it there. The torture she had experienced was nothing compared to the entire world of torture combined; it was practically the ultimate humiliation.
Thankfully, she's now a little girl; it would have been so messy to have her as a lump of clay.
After a long while, Cangyan Rengui's crying gradually stopped. She slowly raised her head and looked at the guy in front of her who had clearly experienced her past completely but was unharmed and could even comfort her instead.
"You went through it all too, so why are you alright?" She looked at Qi Hao curiously. She was very curious why such a painful five years could only make this guy barely show any discomfort.
"(?˙―˙?) Huh? Me? Let me put it this way, maybe I haven't experienced as much pain as you, but it's definitely been much more brutal." Of course, I died instantly!
"I don't believe you, look at yours." After saying that, Azure Flame Blade Ghost turned his head to look at the screen.
But then, Qi Hao's past actually appeared on the screen—his previous life!
"Holy crap! No way! It's really going to release it!" Qi Hao was immediately astonished; this thing could be released so easily.
"Here, as payment, I'll allow you to eat popcorn. Is this what it tastes like? It's sweet." Cangyan Rengui said, picking up a popcorn and stuffing it into his mouth. After five years, he wondered if his body still had a sense of taste. Seeing that Cangyan Rengui had a bucket of popcorn in his arms, Qi Hao finally understood something.
"(||?_?) In other words, the screen will only display the image if one person wants to see it, while other things require our agreement, right? After all, you agreed." Qi Hao looked at the girl in his arms and the popcorn in her arms, thought for a moment, then grabbed a handful of popcorn and put it in his mouth. "( ̄¬ ̄*) Let me make this clear first, don't regret watching it."
Azure Flame Blade Demon nodded, then carefully examined Qi Hao's past. An ordinary person, an ordinary upbringing; aside from the lack of an elf, everything seemed normal. However, she noticed Qi Hao's birth date: 2005.
"You, me, ah, are you human or a ghost?" Azure Flame Blade Ghost looked at Qi Hao, then at the screen. "You're over four hundred years old?!"
Qi Hao couldn't answer this: "You should just keep watching."
Left with no other choice, Azure Flame Blade Demon watched again, sensing that she was about to witness something extraordinary.
As time progresses, the happy elementary school days, the relaxed middle school years, the intense high school years, the joyful times with family, the playful banter with friends, the happiness on birthdays, and the bittersweet memories are gradually repairing the broken heart of the Azure Flame Blade Demon. Interestingly, all the games and anime related to Pokémon in Qi Hao's memory have been replaced, and the timeline has reached 2022, the year Qi Hao least wants to remember.
lb!
The familiar sound of gunfire rang out.
In an instant, Azure Flame Blade Demon's pupils began to dilate and contract, and then it began to breathe heavily. However, there was no need to breathe in the consciousness space. The feeling of suffocation surged into its heart, its vision became blurred, and its hearing began to disappear, as if it were outside the world.
"Stop!" Qi Hao shouted, and the scene immediately froze. Cang Yan Ren Gui shakily got up and this time she threw herself into Qi Hao's arms, as if she were drowning and wanted to grab onto anything she could. She cried even more intensely than before.
"It's terrifying! I... Waaaaah, I thought... Waaaah, I'm going to wash it off!" Sure enough, just as Qi Hao expected, all sensations could be shared.
But death is different. If a person has experienced death, then they should be dead. They cannot tell others what death feels like. And if someone were to force themselves to experience it, they would probably die. Even if the body is still alive, the soul will die.
"Don't be afraid, it's all in the past. My story is just beginning," Qi Hao comforted her, and then the timeline shifted to this lifetime.
Kyurem's powerful aura pulled Azure Flame Blade Demon back from its fear.
"Let me introduce you! This is my father, the legendary Dragon of the Path! Kyurem!" Qi Hao stood up, extended his hand to Azure Flame Blade Demon, and revealed his signature shark fangs in a smile. Together with Kyurem on the screen, who was laughing because he had taken Qi Hao in, they created a unique shock to Azure Flame Blade Demon's mind!
