This time, her voice was still soft, but it carried a sense of determination.
"You are my son, I will definitely cure you!"
The scene reappeared.
Chen Xiao "saw" himself sitting on a swing, with a beautiful house behind him and a neatly trimmed lawn. The house had pretty red walls and green-painted wooden steps.
But I can sit alone on the swing and gently rock myself.
He saw himself, as if his body had grown larger, his arms and legs had become longer and stronger, and his hands gripping the swing were still small, but he was no longer a baby.
Behind me were beautiful houses, beneath my feet was lush green grass, and above me was bright sunshine and a blue sky... everything seemed perfect.
But why did he feel a persistent sadness in his heart? That deep loneliness made him suddenly feel empty, so very empty…
Finally, Chen Xiao suddenly understood.
This sadness stems from... the absence of that beautiful woman and that gentle voice in this scene.
In the scene, Chen Xiao finally saw the beautiful woman again. She looked much more haggard, wearing glasses, but still unable to hide the weariness in her eyes. She was squatting in front of him, holding a transparent object with a sharp needle on it and some strange liquid inside.
"Chen Xiao, be good, don't cry. After the injection, you'll be better, and everything will be alright..."
That gentle voice suddenly calmed her mind. Chen Xiao stared almost greedily at that beautiful yet haggard face, as if unwilling to look away even for a moment, and as if she didn't even notice the sharp needle piercing her skin...
The strangely colored medicine was slowly injected into his skin through the syringe, but Chen Xiao did not seem to feel any pain. The color of the medicine was a deep, eerie blue!
Before me, in the woman's beautiful eyes, there was a hint of relief, a hint of anticipation, and a hint of ease.
Her gentle voice rang in Chen Xiao's ears: "You will surely live under a free and blue sky... My son, this is my expectation for you!"
These words flowed into Chen Xiao's heart, as if his very core had been suddenly and violently shattered by something that had granted him forgiveness!
It seems that a hard outer shell has shattered!
"...living under a free and blue sky..."
Why, why, why... does this sentence sound so familiar?
A free and azure sky...
I'm so sad! Why am I so sad?!
What happened to him?!
Poseidon looked at Chen Xiao in surprise.
Three hours passed, and when Poseidon finally regained his mobility and jumped up, he was astonished to see the guy who had tortured him so badly standing in the distance, like a stone statue, holding a tattered flag in his hands, motionless.
He... is dead?
The moment the thought arose, the sea god himself dismissed it.
After regaining his freedom, Poseidon easily detected Chen Xiao's aura. His heartbeat and breathing indicated that this despicable guy... was still alive!
Damn it!
Poseidon felt helpless, but seeing Chen Xiao still standing there motionless, his eyes... clearly unfocused.
Poseidon suddenly wondered: Has he gone mad?
A perfect chance to escape!!! I had the idea of turning around and flying away to get away from this bastard, but after only two steps, my feet were already off the ground. I could have flown far away in just one breath and gotten rid of this guy.
But... why did a strange feeling suddenly arise in my heart, as if, as if...
It's as if a voice inside me is resisting! Resisting the thought of leaving! ? ?
A voice was shouting: Don't go! Don't leave him!
Wow... this is truly a ghost story!
Poseidon was stunned by the voice in his mind! How could this be??
Then, as if by some strange twist of fate, she turned around in a daze and found herself next to Chen Xiao in a completely different state.
When her gaze finally landed on Chen Xiao's face, the Sea Goddess was stunned.
He...he's crying?!
Two lines of glistening tears were clearly visible on Chen Xiao's cheeks.
Tears?!
He's crying?!
Poseidon was stunned. This guy, this terrifying demon, he can actually cry?!
He stretched out a trembling hand and waved it in front of Chen Xiao's eyes, but the guy seemed completely oblivious.
Poseidon couldn't help but gently push Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao's body remained stiff and unmoving.
She couldn't help but think: If I were to seize the opportunity to kill him with a single blow right now, maybe he wouldn't even react?
Instinctively, she reached out and gently pulled Chen Xiao's hand. The sea goddess's fingers touched the black banner in Chen Xiao's hand. The moment her fingertips touched the black banner, she suddenly felt as if she had been burned. Although it didn't hurt, the feeling made her feel vaguely uncomfortable.
The sea goddess looked down at her hand, and then she was astonished to find that the black banner in Chen Xiao's hand... silently turned into pieces, floated up, and dissipated into dust!
She looked at her finger in surprise. A small red dot had appeared on her fingertip, and on the dot was a drop of bright red blood.
