 Chapter 119 Cage

    As if the TV switch was suddenly pressed, the picture in front of Huo Xianfeng suddenly went black.

    But the hatred that filled his chest did not dissipate. Instead, it accumulated more and more, so much that it almost burst through his body, and then crazily penetrated into his soul, almost crushing his entire being.

    For some reason, Huo Xianfeng failed to disconnect from the clone this time like he did with Huo Chao.

    So he didn't wake up on the warm and soft mattress, but was imprisoned in this body, and then locked in another very familiar cage.

    In view of the extremely high danger that Huo Xianfeng showed just now, the clone was put into a new culture chamber.It was the thing they used to imprison his body back then.

    The cold culture fluid was poured in again, and the dense tubes filled the body again.A circle of densely packed white pillars was erected around the outside. They had strange shapes and continuously sent out strange wave bands, forming an invisible barrier.

    ——Psychic shielding device.

    This was the thing they had just used to cut off the connection between Huo Xianfeng and Cheng Yue, but now, due to the increase in number and energy output, he was also trapped in this body.

    "In the original setting, clones should not be conscious."

    Bernard's deputy temporarily took over his work. His tone was cold, and the voice coming through the layer of liquid and defensive glass was very vague.

    "His Majesty the Pope said that this consciousness does not belong to Huo Chao, so let us find out as soon as possible...it may belong to the one in Mingcheng..."

    Huo Xianfeng couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly. He felt that his brain was in chaos, but he still tried desperately to go back, but he was locked up.

    Every decision and every plan Huo Xianfeng has ever made seems to have never gone wrong, and every confrontation with the church seems to be a crushing victory for him.

    Every seemingly extremely dangerous game can always be saved in the end.

    But in fact, his way of stepping on the most dangerous edge every time can be fatal if he makes any mistakes.

    - He's trapped.

    Can't find a way out.

    It's like going back to the time when I was a prisoner a long time ago.

    At this moment, Huo Xianfeng saw a huge whirlpool opening up in the black void, and he was falling continuously in the whirlpool, as if falling into the abyss of hatred and pain, but he could never reach the end.

    He returned to the cage, and countless broken images swirled around him, like a crazy tornado in the endless darkness.

    These are his memories... they are all the truth that he has been trying desperately to find since he woke up from the earth.

    When Huo Xianfeng knew nothing, he never thought that he was Huo Chao, but as for the king insect cub trapped in the cage, he also felt that it was not him.

    Because Huo Xianfeng always thought that he shouldn't be like that...shouldn't be that gloomy and crazy look, nor should he be that hysterical, paranoid and cruel look.

    He should be confident, calm, free and easy, and do as he pleases.

    Unfettered, unfettered.

    Huo Xianfeng never took anyone seriously, no matter who he was, the army commander, the city lord, or the emperor, even Huo Chao, who everyone thought could not be surpassed.He can also casually chuckle and say, “I can do that.”

    ——This is the posture of a king.

    But later, the truth he was pursuing was peeled away layer by layer, and Huo Xianfeng discovered that——

    The child driven crazy by hatred is himself.

    It turned out that he had been so powerless, so painful, so humiliated, that he had not even been able to grow up, and had not succeeded in revenge until his death, and even caused the Zerg race to almost be exterminated.

    That night, the moment Huo Xianfeng saw the Pope again, all his restraint and reason seemed to disappear at that moment.

    He was trapped again, as if he had been dragged back to the past a long time ago. He was no longer a wanton boy who had reawakened from the earth, but a young king insect imprisoned three hundred years ago.

    Huo Xianfeng became the person he least wanted to face, hysterical, paranoid and crazy, like a beast that was blinded by hatred.

    Huo Xianfeng was once again immersed in endless pain and hatred, as if his life, his future, and all the meaning of his life were only revenge.

    Kill them!

    Kill them!!!

    The once dark memories played before his eyes over and over again.

    The cage that cannot be broken, the needle that penetrates deeply into the brain, and the indifferent faces looking at the experimental materials.

    [breeze!]

    The crying, apologizing, begging, and death of a close friend.

    [Xiao Feng...wait for me...]

    The bloody memories were played over and over again, forcing Huo Xianfeng to see every detail clearly. After too many reincarnations, Huo Xianfeng lost his ability to perceive time.

    He was lost in the darkness, so he didn't know that he had been in a coma for more than half a month.

    "Huo Xianfeng?"

    "Huo Xianfeng, wake up..."

    When Jiang Ci discovered that Huo Xianfeng was not sleeping but in a coma, he immediately called Dr. Wen.Zhou Jiuya also rushed over after hearing the news.But Wen Xubai, who hurried over with medical equipment, was almost killed by the long tail before he even got close.

    The sharp edge split the metal medical box into two almost instantly. If Jiang Ci hadn't reacted and stopped it, the consequences would have been disastrous.

    Everyone in the room was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

    They found that no one could get close to the unconscious Huo Xianfeng. The tail seemed to have self-awareness, and it would immediately launch a fatal attack on anyone who tried to get close to Huo Xianfeng.

    ——Except Jiang Ci.

    Only Jiang Ci was allowed to get close.

    Therefore, Jiang Ci could only conduct examinations according to Dr. Wen's instructions at that time.

    [No fever, breathing and heartbeat are normal.]

    But beyond that, nothing can be done, like blood tests, internal scans of the body, and more detailed examinations.Because in the sleeping defense state, the needle could not pierce Huo Xianfeng's skin, and human medical instruments could not scan the internal conditions of his body.

    So in the end Dr. Wen could only shake his head,

    [Sorry Ah Ci, Uncle Wen is helpless.]

    Since Huo Xianfeng fell into coma, Nora, who was usually very well-behaved and silent, became anxious and irritable. Not only her, but the entire Zerg race was in a state of irritability.

    They surrounded the First Legion and tried to take Huo Xianfeng away.There was a small-scale panic within the First Legion, but fortunately it was suppressed by Zhou Jiuya.

    On the other side, Jiang Ci quickly found Nora, comforted her, and asked her to temporarily stabilize the Zerg army.

    Huo Xianfeng said that the internal hierarchy of the Zerg is very strict, and the higher Zerg naturally suppress the lower Zerg, so besides him, the one with the highest status currently is Nora.

    [good.]

    Nora nodded.

    So the situation barely stabilized.

    But Jiang Ci still couldn't find the reason for Huo Xianfeng's coma, because there were no signs, and besides being comatose, the other party didn't have any other abnormal symptoms, as if he was asleep.

    Jiang Ci knew too little about the Zerg, and Nora couldn't explain clearly. She would only repeat anxiously back and forth,

    [The king is missing, can’t be found...can’t be found...]

    [But he is obviously here.]

    Jiang Ci didn't understand, Huo Xianfeng was obviously here.

    He is obviously here!

    Nora shook her head and repeated hurriedly,

    [The king's light is gone... gone...]

    In the spiritual network of the Zerg, the symbol of the king is the bright sun, while the rest of the Zerg are all starlight.

    [What does light mean?]

    Nora couldn't explain clearly, because the spiritual network is something that Zerg should know innately, just like a child can't explain why he can be heard when he speaks.

    At this moment, Jiang Ci held Huo Xianfeng's hand tightly and almost collapsed.

    - Because he doesn't understand.

    He didn’t understand what Nora meant.

    Jiang Ci knew that Huo Xianfeng could control the Zerg, but he didn't know that this way was the Zerg's spiritual network, and the connection between Huo Xianfeng and Huo Chao was also the secret of their mutual dependence in the church.

    They made an appointment not to tell anyone.

    So for so many years, no one knew.Even Bernard, who had been in charge of the King Insect experiment, and even the Pope, who had been paying attention to Huo Chao, didn't know.

    So Jiang Ci didn't know that Huo Xianfeng's sudden coma made him feel scared, so scared that he couldn't even think normally and calmly.Because Jiang Jin was in a coma for a long time before his death.

    Since Huo Xianfeng fell into coma, Jiang Ci has been by his side, just like when they first arrived on Tiandong Star, he had been guarding Huo Xianfeng who was in coma, never leaving.

    But the situation is different from last time. Last time, he was comatose due to overdraft, but not this time.

    Jiang Ci worked hard to find the reason every day. He recalled every word Huo Xianfeng said over and over again, even every detail after Huo Xianfeng woke up from the earth.

    Jiang Ci has a very good memory, but when he started to recall every bit of Huo Xianfeng, he realized that he remembered everything about the other person so clearly, and even every frame of the memory was vividly displayed..

    He stayed by Huo Xianfeng's side, caressing the side of Huo Xianfeng's sleeping face, and thought about it over and over again.

    Jiang Ci's face looked a little haggard due to long-term lack of sleep, anxiety and fear.Little

    Jiang Ci didn't say anything about not being able to eat it, but took it and drank it very neatly.Because Huo Xianfeng was in a coma, he couldn't afford to fall. On the contrary, now he needed to ensure a healthy body.

    Little

    "Ah Ci, why don't you take a nap for a while."

    Because the mechanical tentacles are too hard and the neural chain needs to be softer, Xiao X chose the neural chain.

    "We have three mechas guarding us."

    Moreover, there is a high-level Zerg Nora in the corner. Outside are the troops of the First Legion, and outside are densely packed Zerg.It couldn't be safer.

    "It doesn't matter."

    Jiang Ci shook his head. He had never been able to figure out what Nola meant by light. This sentence had no beginning or end, which made Jiang Ci seem to have reached a dead end and couldn't find any clue.

    But the moment Jiang Ci raised his hand to push Xiao

    "Forbidden Abyss, open the cockpit and give me your nerve chain and the spare one!"

    Because the driver mainly uses a neural chain to connect with the mecha, so as to achieve a state of empathy for control, the importance of the neural chain is self-evident, so there is usually a second backup link in the cockpit.

    "?"

    Jin Yuan didn't understand what Jiang Ci wanted to do, but he still followed the order.It flew out of the window, transformed into its complete state in outer space, then opened the cockpit and took the two people in.

    It's just that the appearance of the Forbidden Abyss will cause panic in the First Legion, so it returned to the Zerg camp.It was the underground space where the Zerg buried it.

    Jiang Ci didn't have time to think about anything else. He quickly dismantled the spare neural chain of Forbidden Abyss, not just one head like last time, but all of them, and quickly started to modify it.

    "wait!"

    Jin Yuan was shocked. It wanted to say something but was instantly trapped by Xiao X, who quickly sent a series of crackling radio waves.

    "Dad Jinyuan, don't disturb Ah Ci! Children's interests must be encouraged!"

    Forbidden Yuan: "..."

    It was speechless.

    At this moment, none of the three mechas could understand Jiang Ci's operation.

    Jiang Ci reset the first nerve chain to its normal state and removed the small device that secretly obtained genes at the tip. As for the second spare, it was slightly more complicated, and he spent three full days on it.

    After the transformation, Jiang Ci took the spare neural chain and connected it to the back of Huo Xianfeng's neck.

    Jin Yuan finally couldn't help but remind him loudly,

    "Ah Ci, he is unconscious. Even if you reverse the neural chain connection program, he still cannot connect to the mecha."

    Not to mention that Huo Xianfeng never uses the neural chain. Even if he uses it, the driver has to actively connect it, so it is one-way.It is the pilot's one-way connection to the mecha.But Jiang Ci changed the program and reversed the one-way connection.

    "I know."

    Jiang Ci connected the other one to the back of his neck.

    "Wait a minute, your mental power threshold..."

    Jin Yuan wanted to say that he was a bit low and might cause a big burden, but the moment Jiang Ci connected, Jin Yuan shut up.

    one thousand……

    In just half a month, his mental power threshold increased to one thousand!!!

    If this continues, I might even...be able to surpass Huo Chao...

    Jin Yuan was so shocked that he could not speak.

    At this time, Jiang Ci no longer struggled with what the light in Nola's mouth was. After thinking about it for so many days, he probably understood that Nora said that the king was missing, and it should be that some connection between them was broken.

    "Huo Xianfeng was able to directly command Tiandong Star and even the Zerg on Earth from the Holy Dew Planet. This proves that Huo Xianfeng has an absolute connection with the Zerg. But this absolute connection is now broken."

    Jiang Ci took a deep breath,

    "I can't understand the mechanism, so I can only find similar ways, such as the connection between humans and mechas."

    But Jin Yuan's mental cavity is not the end point but a transit point. Jiang Ci is planning to use the mecha as a medium to slowly and tentatively connect to another person's brain through the second spare nerve chain.

    Jiang Ci's mental power once coexisted with Huo Xianfeng's mental power inside the mental cavity of a mecha. Especially when Huo Xianfeng taught him with Bai Ze, Jiang Ci couldn't describe the wonderful feeling. It was like... theyAfter reaching empathy, he seemed to be able to sense the other person's existence inexplicably even for a long time afterwards.

    Therefore, Jiang Ci wanted to try again.

    Jin Yuan was shocked by Jiang Ci's idea, because it sounded like a fantasy.

    "Ah Ci! Wait, this is too dangerous!!!"

    Xiao X's voice became serious for the first time, and he looked very anxious.

    Because when the neural chain was first invented, no one tried to use it to connect people's brains. However, the results all failed and caused great damage to the experimenters' brains, and usually the mental threshold was higher.The lower one will suffer more damage.

    "Do you know how high Huo Xianfeng's mental power threshold is?!"

    ——That is a value that even Forbidden Abyss cannot detect!

    Jiang Ci also knew it, but there was no other way now. Instead of answering his parenting system, he directly muted the other party.

    Jiang Ci closed his eyes and began to connect formally.

    But to his disappointment, it was a void of darkness, like the outermost corner of the universe.

    Jiang Ci felt as if he was walking in some alien space, with nothing but endless darkness and coldness.

    Nothing at all……

    "Huo Xianfeng?"

    He walked for a long time, and it was still dark.

    "Huo Xianfeng!"

    He went from walking to running, faster and faster.

    "Huo Xianfeng!!"

    Jiang Ci ran wildly in the darkness and shouted with all his strength,

    "Huo Xianfeng——!!!"

    It was almost hysterical, but his voice seemed to be swallowed up by darkness as soon as he left his mouth.

    ……no respond.

    Jiang Ci felt out of breath, but no matter what, he couldn't stop, couldn't stop.At this moment, he felt as if some special power was coming out of his body.

    This way.

    Here.

    A wonderful intuition swept through his body, allowing Jiang Ci to find his direction in the vast darkness.

    At this moment, Nora, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly looked up, because she saw a new light spot lighting up in the spiritual network as bright as a sea of stars.

    It's very small, but gradually it gets brighter.

    Bright enough to be dazzling.

    boom!!!

    Jiang Ci seemed to have hit an invisible barrier.

    Then, he saw a huge cultivation cabin and countless hurricane-like fragments of images around it.

    At that moment, Jiang Ci finally had a deep and true understanding of the prison Huo Xianfeng talked about, and the man's understated but bloody past.He tore open the barrier and walked in.

    At this moment, Jiang Ci finally saw the past that Huo Xianfeng was unwilling to tell him.

    The king, who was supposed to grow up in the love of the entire race, became a prisoner from the moment he was born.The first thing this world gave him was pain, injury, and theft.

    He grew up fed by hatred and didn't even grow up.

    Huo Xianfeng was a prisoner from birth to death.

    Not only the memory, but all the pain, hatred, resentment, and all negative things were poured into Jiang Ci's mind at this moment.

    "ah!"

    The pain was so painful that it almost tore it apart, and Jiang Ci was trembling all over.But he still walked over step by step firmly.Walk towards that person through the endless, bloody debris.

    despair

    He pressed his palms against the cold glass and looked up at Huo Xianfeng.

    Jiang Ci's posture at this moment was just like the young Huo Chao a long time ago.

    But at that time, Huo Chao could only kneel on the ground, crying in shame, self-blame and pain to Huo Xiafeng.

    Because he couldn't save him... Even after Huo Chao spent twenty years, he couldn't pull Huo Xianfeng out of the abyss of hatred. He could only be trapped in the cage with him, and at the last moment he broke free, died.

    But at this moment, Jiang Ci's eyes were red but he didn't cry. He clenched his knuckles tightly, as if he was accumulating some terrible power.

    boom!

    He smashed the cage with one punch.

    Amidst the rumbling noise, Jiang Ci ran to the man desperately, opened his arms and hugged him deeply.

    "Huo Xianfeng——!"

    Jiang Ci hugged the young man's cold, trembling body tightly.Then tell him in the gentlest but firmest tone,

    "It's okay, I'm here."

    The author has something to say:

    Ah Ci was indeed pregnant, so she was able to connect and find Xiao Feng, but no one knows yet.
