Chapter 330: Immortal Will

…

Outside the bedroom of an expropriated aristocratic mansion in Qianlimburg.

Chaoyang, Elodie and Xue Quan were waiting quietly in the corridor. At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the door finally opened, and several doctors in white coats came out. The leader of them took off his mask and nodded to the three people who looked over, "It's over. The operation went better than expected."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Chen." Xue Quan thanked him repeatedly.

"You're welcome. No matter how difficult the task assigned by the organization is, we will ensure it is completed." The doctor known as Director Chen replied humbly.

These people are all professional doctors transferred from the prevention and control center. It is said that they are top experts in military hospital surgery, and judging from the results, they have indeed lived up to their reputation.

There is no electronic monitoring equipment, the delivery of anesthesia depends on experience, and the lighting can only be maintained by piles of oil lamps. Under such circumstances, performing a major operation is not only extremely difficult, but at least it is at the top level.

"How is the patient doing now?" Chaoyang asked.

Although Director Chen couldn't figure out the origin of this young man, he was obviously an important figure because he could stand with Comrade Xue Quan. "I haven't woken up from the anesthesia yet, but my heartbeat and blood pressure are normal. We will also keep an anesthesiologist." Stay here to prevent accidents. Judging from the injuries, her chest was penetrated from the back, and there was congestion in the lungs, but luckily there was no pneumothorax. The arrow shaft creates a relatively closed environment. I have performed tens of thousands of surgeries, and this is the first time I have seen this.”

"In short, as long as the subsequent wound is not infected, the patient will most likely be able to recover. Of course... movement may be affected to some extent, depending on her recovery status."

Is it luck? Chaoyang doesn't think so.

That must be Sandra's instinctive reaction after years of training. She tightened her back muscles as soon as she was hit by the arrow, so that the wound did not expand further. This is an ability that only a master-level warrior has. An ordinary person would probably have died on the road.

"Thanks. Can we go in and see her?"

"Of course, it's okay if you just take a look."

After receiving the doctor's affirmative reply, Chaoyang and Elodie walked into the bedroom together. The room was obviously a bit stuffy. There were nearly fifty oil lamps placed there. Although the windows had been opened for ventilation, the heat would not escape for a while. Sandra was lying on the hard bed in the middle of the room, her eyes closed and her face slightly pale.

"Don't worry, her life is still very strong and she won't die for a while." Elodie observed for a while and said, "Don't forget that she was severely injured by the kelp monster when she was in Glory Castle, and she can move freely in a week. "

"Well, luckily you're here." Chaoyang replied subconsciously.

The purpose of calling Angel is not only to monitor physical signs. If the anesthesia fails and the patient wakes up midway, Elodie can also use singing to "mentally hypnotize" the patient and force him to calm down to avoid more serious consequences.

Fortunately, the doctors were very experienced and this did not happen.

He didn't notice that these words made Elodie cover her mouth unconsciously.

"Ahem... Speaking of which, was Miss Sandela chased here by the rebels?" Angel changed the subject, "I remember she went to the capital with that lieutenant colonel, right?"

"It's common sense, but I've asked witnesses and they all confirmed that Sandra came from the north."

"North?" Elodie thought for a while. There were large areas of uncultivated dense forest there, and there were only two dirt roads leading to the towns outside the forest area. It really didn't look like they were bypassing the royal capital.

"The route from Qianlimbao to Sancia can be taken by train or by caravan. But the soles of her shoes were all muddy, and she had obviously run all the way. Maybe there was an accident in the middle, which caused her to have to leave. Don’t escape from the north.”

"Hey, have you even looked at her shoes carefully?" Elodie said disgustedly.

"Actually, thinking about it, it's really not necessary. I can get the truth in a simpler and more intuitive way. Even if she is asleep."

"Are you referring to the dreaming technique?" the other party thought quickly.

"That's right." Chaoyang stretched out his hand and put it on the top of Shantela's head - he had a vague hunch in his heart that the other party must have encountered some imminent event, so he rushed to Qianlin Castle despite being injured. If she just exposes her identity and is wanted by Duke Longjiu, with her temperament, even if she dies outside, she probably won't want to bring trouble to Paradise. "Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay, I'll reluctantly accompany you to see it," the angel shrugged, and put his hand on the back of Chaoyang's hand, "to save you from wandering around in other people's memories and seeing things you shouldn't see."

What do you mean by something that shouldn't be seen? Chaoyang rolled her eyes. She didn't think that the dream spell could also peek into bathing and sleeping. The brain would not remember such insignificant things.

"Wow..."

The two heard the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

"Oh, isn't she from the mainland?" Elodie raised her eyebrows, "She seems to like the sea."

Sandra's memory labyrinth is a lighthouse standing in the sea, with rugged rock walls below. The waves are beating back and forth on these rocks, as if they will never calm down. This scene reminded Chaoyang of the Observation Tower of Brilliant Castle, which was also Sandra's office. However, the observation tower is backed by the defense army camp and is closely connected to the land, while this lighthouse is independent of the vast sea and appears extremely lonely.

"She may not realize that the time she spent in the Splendid Castle is the main part of her life experience." Chaoyang whispered. He flew down to the top of the tower with the angel, and then went down along the internal stairs. There were not many obstacles on this journey. On the contrary, the lighthouse seemed to be guiding them forward... The tower was very clean and tidy. There was a blazing torch on every lower half of the floor, illuminating their way forward.

I don't know if this is because Sandra's mental defense is low, or because she doesn't mind other people coming as guests.

Arriving at the bottom of the tower, the memory fragments here are quite clear, indicating that they were formed recently.

The two saw the snow and the continuous cities hidden in the mountains.

"There are such places in the Old World?" Elodie was surprised.

In her impression, humans are naturally resistant to severe cold. The higher the altitude, the less developed it is. It's good to have a village, but what is presented in front of them is a city that is no less than the Splendid Castle...

No, it should be far superior in terms of scale.

Next is a grand banquet. Various characters appeared one after another, but unfortunately, due to the limitation of memory, it was difficult for them to distinguish who these people were. They could only be sure of one thing, that Sandra was not a prisoner escorted here, but a guest who was treated with courtesy.

Then, a familiar woman flashed by. Chaoyang quickly remembered that he had met her once.

That was the old friend she was looking for, Iris Ben?

At this time, Ryan also appeared in Sandra's memory - even if the picture was still blurry, Chaoyang could recognize this lieutenant colonel of the Kingdom Army.

"It seems that they are still together." Elodie said, "Then why did only Miss Sandra run to Qianlin Castle in the end?"

Chaoyang shook his head and continued to move forward to the next memory.

The picture quickly retreated backwards, and the owner of the memory walked through the streets - she looked back from time to time, and the snow-covered city wall was getting farther and farther away from her. But someone was chasing her from behind, and the black figure was faintly outlined by the moonlight.

"Damn it, just escaped? There was no process in the middle..." Elodie frowned.

Chaoyang couldn't help but feel puzzled. In the previous memory, he was still a guest, so why did he start running for his life in the next one? There must have been a major turning point in the middle. Why didn't he leave a vivid memory in the memory maze?

Could it be that he missed something?

Sandra ran all the way until the snow-capped mountains were completely left behind, and the surrounding scenery became lush again.

At this moment, the memory suddenly changed, and its content returned to the city! And this time the picture was not only much clearer, but the two even heard the sound of talking!

"As long as the method is right... Gods will also wither!"

"Remember, my name is Kokomochi, a magic goddess born in the realm of nothingness."

"Qianlin Castle has fallen! We must fight back!"

"This is the only chance to stop the war."

"... Be careful on the road."

The memory fragments that had been seen before reappeared again. This abnormal phenomenon surprised Chaoyang! In theory, the memory segments are arranged in chronological order. The earlier the newer, the newer. After all, people cannot go back in time, so things experienced cannot be repeated twice!

Elodie suddenly showed a gentle expression, "I understand. During the last period of time, she kept recalling the previous content and turning it into new memories, which led to this situation. I guess this is probably quite difficult. She needs to replay it repeatedly in her mind in order to make her brain accept these deliberately shaped memories."

"Why did she do this?" Chaoyang was puzzled.

"Because Miss Sandra has seen you use the dreaming technique." The angel said, "In this way, even if she is seriously injured and cannot be cured, you can still bring the news."
