Chapter 1545 Everyone is worried about you
Kahn's eyes narrowed, and he immediately raised his hand and waved.
An invisible magical force surged forth, instantly dispelling the flames!
The demon messenger was taken aback: "This is...?"
Kahn: "It's a forbidden spell. Once the target dies, the curse seal will activate and destroy the body. This kind of spell is usually used on assassins who are on important missions. Their masters are worried that if their mission fails, their memories will be read, so they resort to this method."
The demon messenger was surprised: "This person has been cursed with such a vicious curse? Could he have some special secret?"
Kahn didn't say anything, but walked straight up to him.
He looked at the charred corpse.
The skin on the surface of the corpse is gradually withering and peeling off.
The mechanical skeleton beneath was revealed.
A silver-white metal frame, an intricate gear structure, and an energy core still faintly flickering at the chest...
Kahn's pupils suddenly contracted.
Doll?
......
One day later.
The Demon Realm, Snowdrift City's First Healing Center.
The room was snow-white, and soft, therapeutic light flowed gently through the air.
Jiang Xiaoming lay on the hospital bed, covered with a thin blanket, his face pale, but his breathing was steady.
Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bai Xueling, Long Ying, Nangong Qiuyue, and others sat around the ward, their expressions serious, the atmosphere tense, their fists clenched, and their faces filled with worry...
"Three of a kind with one extra card." Gao Shenxue threw down three cards.
"Bombs." Night Song threw down four cards.
"I can't afford it." Nangong Qiuyue pouted.
"Pass," Long Ying said.
"Shunzi, I'm done." Yege chuckled.
"..."
Nangong Qiuyue said unhappily, "Xue'er, you deliberately let Ye Ge feed you cards again! Are you even our teammate?!"
Gao Shenxue: "I didn't."
Nangong Qiuyue: "You still say you didn't! Your intentions are way too obvious!"
“Exactly,” Long Ying said resentfully, “When you team up with us, you’re like a complete newbie, but when you team up with Ye Ge, you turn into a war god.”
Gao Shenxue gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "That's because whenever I'm with Xiaoye, I just happen to have good luck."
Nangong Qiuyue: "......"
Ye Zi stood beside the hospital bed, her hands raised, her palms glowing with a warm green light, continuously channeling therapeutic energy into Jiang Xiaoming.
Meanwhile, she would occasionally turn her head, her big, innocent eyes curiously watching Ye Ge and the others play cards, the tuft of hair on her head turning with each turn, like a lively antenna.
"Whoa—!"
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoming suddenly woke up from his hospital bed, as if he had just had a nightmare.
"Tell Ye Ge! I, Jiang Xiaoming, am not a coward!!!"
Everyone: "......"
Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bai Xueling, and the others all turned their heads to look at the hospital bed.
"Oh?" Ye Ge tilted her head. "You're awake?"
"I..." Jiang Xiaoming's eyes were half-open as he looked weakly at the people in the room, his gaze sweeping over their faces one by one. "You're all here... How's the battlefield...? Did you win?"
"Of course, we won long ago."
"What about Sima Qing?"
"died."
"Where is that female pope of the Extreme Yin Cult?"
"They were driven away."
"......call."
Jiang Xiaoming breathed a long sigh of relief, but said weakly, "That's good... I called the puppet control cabin earlier, but no one answered. I thought something had happened to you."
"How could that be?" Ye Ge came to his bedside and patted his shoulder: "You completed the mission very well. The organization will remember your contribution."
Jiang Xiaoming: "Hmm... But I feel like I slept for a long time after I 'died' over there... You guys didn't forget me in the puppet control pod, did you?"
"How could that be?" Ye Ge said seriously, "You went to carry out such an important and dangerous mission, how could we forget about you? After we came back from the battlefield, we rushed back to the control room to check on you without even eating. Everyone was very worried about you, weren't we?"
He turned his head and looked at the crowd behind him.
"..."
The crowd froze for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "Mmm...yes, yes..."
Jiang Xiaoming said with a touched expression, "I knew it! Zhu Yan was definitely lying to me. You guys definitely won't forget me this time... um..."
Before he could finish speaking, he closed his eyes and fainted again.
Night Song: "..."
Nangong Qiuyue asked in surprise, "Why has Xiaoming fainted again?"
Gao Shenxue said softly, "It's nothing. He just overexerted himself while controlling the puppet, and his mental strength was severely damaged. He'll probably be fine after lying down for three to five days."
Ye Ge raised a finger and placed it on Jiang Xiaoming's forehead.
He had seen all of Jiang Xiaoming's memories from the time he controlled the puppet.
With Ye Ge's current mental strength, she can already read other people's memories without harming their brains.
“However, Demon Lord Cain has probably already discovered the secret of the substitute puppets,” Night Song said softly.
Moreover, after this, Kahn will definitely realize that Jiang Xiaoming was not the one who cast the colossus of the demon god that day.
It's unlikely I'll be able to fool him again next time.
Xia Xiyao asked nervously, "Then, he won't be coming to cause you trouble again soon, will he?"
Ye Ge shrugged: "I don't know."
......
night.
The Demon Realm, Snowdrift City, Night Song's private room.
Outside the window, the light from the Demon Tree diffused through the clouds of a special hue, bathing the room in a dreamy lavender purple hue.
Ye Ge sat alone in the room.
at last.
It's time to take stock of the spoils of this battle.
He raised his hand and waved it, and several objects enveloped in light floated in front of him.
The first piece.
A ball of emerald-green light floated silently.
Within the ball of light, the outline of a winding dragon bone could be vaguely seen, radiating a vast and pure wood-attribute holy power—an ancient and majestic aura, as if containing the primordial vitality of the beginning of heaven and earth.
Azure Dragon Sacred Bone!
the second one.
A crimson, blood-red light slowly rotated beside it.
Within the ball of light, countless intricate runes came and went, moving, intertwining, and recombining like living things. Simply gazing at it evoked an indescribable sense of oppression—the natural deterrent of the power of laws upon mortals.
The Law of Power!
Ye Ge thought to himself that the biggest rewards of this battle were undoubtedly these two things.
His gaze lingered on the two orbs of light for a moment before moving on to the third.
The third piece.
It was a sealed container that looked like a golden urn.
The box was engraved with dense, ancient runes, which gleamed with a ghostly golden light under the purple glow of the Demon Tree. The lid was tightly closed, yet one could still faintly sense the chilling, malevolent energy emanating from within.
The six ancient undead spirits that Sima Qing had summoned earlier—Zheng, Fei, Gu Diao, Long Zhi, Bi Fang, and Ya Yu—are now sealed inside.
