绝代双骄 林志颖

Chapter 212



The intelligent light source up above flickered on and off, casting an eerie shimmer on the skewed walls and cracked floors, broken cables crackled and burst into bright electric sparks.

Fragments of instruments and rubble was scattered randomly on the uneven ground, the scorched black marks left by the bombardment were deeply seared into the metal, alike to heavy scars.

Among the ruins, Ge Xiu walked forward swiftly.

His pace was so fast that Xiao Yi, who was following behind him, had to trot all the way to barely keep up.

After being bombed, the architectural pattern became more complicated. Even the researchers who had worked here for a long time would feel lost and unable to find the way forward, but this did not delay his footsteps at all. He seemed to know where his destination was with amazing clarity and made every turn without hesitation, as if he knew the distribution of all paths by heart.

Through the thick partition above their heads, the sound of exchanging fire in the distance could still be heard, followed by faint vibrations that shook the ground.

Ge Xiu stopped suddenly.

In front of him stood an extremely solid metal wall, even after being bombarded with full force, it still stood intact and the door lock system on it was still on— clearly, it used a circuit system independent of other equipment in the Research Institute.

He knew, he had found it.

As Ge Xiu stared at the gate in front of him, he hesitated for some reason.

He slowly took a deep breath, lowered his head, and put his palm on the door lock system in front of him. The powerful spiritual power impact overloaded its circuit instantly, the lock made a hissing sound.

The blue light dimmed and the metal door slowly opened in front of his eyes.

”Wait here for me.”

Ge Xiu ordered.

He didn’t look back, and walked straight towards the door.

The backup power system was restored and the door slowly closed behind Ge Xiu.

In front of him was a huge metal hall, which was hardly impacted or damaged by the bombardment just now. Numerous sophisticated instruments were silently standing in the hall, like different kinds of organs in deep sleep. Lines and cables extended from the back of the instruments and spread all the way to the huge training cabin placed in the center of the hall— it was like the nerve control center of the entire system, lying quietly in the middle of a spider web made of cables.

The cultivation cabin was filled with light blue nutrient solution, which was the only light source in the dark hall.

In the faintly glowing blue liquid, a man floated quietly.

The long black hair curled quietly in the water, spreading like tentacles, covering his eyebrows and eyes, hanging down on his broad shoulders and floating calmly beside his distinct and well-built upper half.

The snow-white bubbles were rising slowly.

He just lay there quietly, as if he had been sleeping like this for centuries, waiting for an unreachable future.

Ge Xiu subconsciously slowed down.

He walked to the training cabin and stared fixedly at the other party.

The blue light was reflected in his pitch-black eyes, like dots of sparkling light shining in the depths of his pupils.

Through a layer of glass and the light blue liquid, he stared at the familiar figure in a daze, as if he was looking at the other person from a certain moment three years ago——

The sound of chaotic footsteps of pursuing soldiers came from the corridor in the distance.

As he stood at the entrance, there was a vast unknown night in front of him, and behind him was a young man standing at the junction of light and darkness— the other party was standing against the light, with a dark gun against his throat, his straight and tall figure dividing the light and darkness, just a few steps away, but it felt like an uncrossable river. They stood there, staring at each other at the two opposite points, separated into two completely different worlds.

That day, he turned and leapt into the darkness.

And at this moment—he stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

When his fingertips touched the cold and smooth surface, there was a crisp cracking sound, and the snow-white spider web crawled over the surface of the huge nutrition cabin in an instant. In the next second, with a “crash”, the glass in front of him shattered and the light blue nutrient solution rushed out like a flood.

Ge Xiu accurately caught the man who fell into his arms.

The weight of the other was much more than he had imagined, pressing on his shoulders without reservation. The long black hair stuck to those bare and strong shoulders, winding like a snake, the slightly salty and moist breath rushed towards his face like an ocean, completely enveloping his senses.

The prison uniform on Ge Xiu’s body was soaked thoroughly with the nutrient solution and the chests of the two were pressed together without any gap.

He felt the other’s cold skin against his, he could even feel the quiet and steady heartbeat in the opponent’s chest— badump, badump, badump…

Ge Xiu took a deep breath, raised his hand, and carefully pulled out the tube connected to the other’s head and spine. Wisps of blood slid down the man’s back and were soaked into the dripping water.

——In the entire rescue plan, the biggest hidden danger lied in the chip in his brain.

That’s why he had to take over that research institute and undergo surgery, not only to seal his own memory, but also to implant interfering artificial neurons in his brain.

Ge Xiu knew a long time ago that if the people of the Research Institute wanted to use him to awaken Pandora, they must connect his spiritual power with Pandora’s main body.

And that was the crux of his whole plan.

As long as the connection lasted for enough time, the interference signals released by the implanted artificial neurons would gradually disable the chip in the other’s brain, making it impossible to control and locate him.

And now, theoretically speaking, the other party should be able to wake up.

Ge Xiu felt that the opponent’s heart was beating regularly, gradually and slowly matching the rhythm of his own heartbeat.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ge Xiu pursed his lips, bent down, and prepared to put the man’s heavy body flat on the ground.

But what he didn’t expect was that before he could do anything, a gentle touch suddenly pressed on his back—

the other’s cold palm was pressed against Ge Xiu’s back, there was only a thin layer of cloth between wet skin and his palm, the light, cherishing force was transmitted so clearly, so vividly, that it made people overwhelmed. Ge Xiu couldn’t help but freeze from the impact, for the first time he felt that his heartbeat was irregular, losing its calm.

In the next second, hardly understood and hoarse voice rang in his ears,

“…I seem, to have had a very long dream…”

Ge Xiu’s arms tightened subconsciously, he pressed his forehead into the other’s shoulder, his deliberately calm voice was muffled and sounded somewhat distorted because of this,

“…and then?”

“It was a very sweet dream.” The other’s voice had a small smile to it, “…I dreamed of you, a lot.”

Ge Xiu’s voice was a little hoarse, but he still retorted not to be outdone,

“Fool, don’t you know if it was a dream or not?”

Obviously, it was him who’d opened his sealed memory with spiritual power at the very last moment, it was him who’d send precious fluctuations of spiritual power in that short moment of chaos, so that his fleet could locate so accurately the place of Research Institute. Still pretending to be confused now… it was too deceiving.

”So, you admit it?”

The man in his arms gradually regained his strength, he slowly stood up from Ge Xiu’s body little by little, but the hand clasped on his shoulder was still firmly refusing to let go. He pressed the young man who was a little shorter than him securely in his arms:

“You said I was your boyfriend.”

“And you admitted, you lost.” His voice was still hoarse but was regaining its strength, “You’re going to marry me.”

“….” Ge Xiu smiled, “No, that’s you dreaming.”

The other party laughed softly, the vibration of his chest was transmitted to Ge Xiu’s chest along with the tightly pressing bodies, corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raise slightly.

After hugging quietly for a long time, U2625 relaxed the strength of his arms a little, and looked at him with a tilted head:

”You have grown taller.”

Ge Xiu used his eyes to measure the height difference between the two and was a little annoyed:

”…No, still not tall enough.”

At this time, Ge Xiu seemed to finally realize something. His eyes moved slightly downwards, landing on the bare collarbone and naked chest of the other party, and slid down to the tight waist…

Then he suddenly retracted his gaze, fixed his gaze on the other party’s face and said dryly: “…No, but I think the most urgent thing now is to find you a piece of clothing.”

Ten minutes later

The closed metal door made a beeping sound and then slowly opened to both sides. Two figures came out of the door one after another.

Xiao Yi suddenly came back to his senses, straightened his back habitually and turned his head to look in their direction, reflexively shouting,

“Welcome, Captain’s…wife…..”

The rest of his words stuck in his throat, unable to get out.

He saw, that right next to his captain, there stood a man with broad shoulders and great height, much taller than him.

A researcher’s lab suit was loosely draped over the man’s body. His long, black hair hung on his shoulders, soaking the clothes into a transparent colour, half of his chest with well-defined muscles could be seen at the slightly-open neckline. The overly handsome eyebrows and deep sharp eyes, brought just as huge impact as Ge Xiu’s features. Those black indifferent eyes were slightly dropping, cold and bright, with a glint like a sharp knife’s edge. When they swept over people, they brought a heavy sense of oppression, sprouting fear and making people retreat from the bottom of their hearts.

Wait?? Captain’s wife??

……this? ? ?
