When the other party said this, Soshyan felt a lot more at ease, but he was still very concerned about the thing in Talos's mind.
"Why not remove the one in your head?"
"This...it has been tightly intertwined with the nerves of Captain Talos. If it is tampered with, it may damage the brain. The situation is a bit similar to the World Eater's Butcher's Nail, but the effect should be different.
of."
"That's it, I understand."
With that said, Soshyan and Veronica had already walked to the door, and then the door slowly opened.
On the white hospital bed, Talos, who was naked and had tubes inserted into his arms and chest, was leaning against the head of the bed. He raised his hands and kept clenching his fists. For some reason, Soshyan felt that his skin was even oily.
Much moisturized.
After seeing the two people walking in, Talos waved.
"Hi, Soshyan."
Soshyan walked to the bed with a smile.
"Taros, how do you feel?"
"Feeling? Well...if I have to say it."
Talos rolled his eyes upwards, shook his head as if thinking, and then smiled:
"If I face Mortarion again, I might be able to hold on for another twenty seconds."
"oh?"
At this time, Soshyan suddenly discovered a problem——
Talos's physique seemed to have changed, and he felt that the other person seemed to be taller than before.
"Taros, your body."
"I'm fifteen centimeters taller than before, and I've gained twenty-nine kilograms in weight."
"this--"
Soshiyang looked at Bangura standing aside in surprise, and the great sage then said:
"This is exactly what I am going to tell you, Chapter Commander, and it is also something we are studying. After Captain Talos used the panacea, the extra gene seeds in his body seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to release the
The substance that Captain Los' body continues to grow... Chapter Commander, you are very familiar with gene seeds. You should know that one of the functions of gene seeds is to assist the growth of transplanted organs and strengthen bones. This is why we infer that those things are gene seeds.
reason."
"infer?"
Bangura shrugged his shoulders.
"From a rigorous academic point of view, unless we take out that thing and study it in detail, everything we have is just an inference based on its effects and past experience."
"Will it still be like this after that?"
"We don't know yet, so I suggest that although Captain Talos's treatment has achieved initial results, we still need to continue to observe it for a period of time to see if that mysterious organ has other functions."
Talos waved his hand with a look of disgust.
"Don't bother, as long as you don't die."
Seeing Talos's calm look, Soshyan's heart moved, and then he said softly:
"Talos, do you know something?"
"what do you know?"
Talos had a smile on his face, but did not answer Soshyan's question.
At this time, Bangura hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Talos.
"Captain Talos, a few days ago I retrieved the oldest archives of the Forge World and discovered that the original body once secretly summoned nineteen biological sages, including the five sages of Ulanhuda, but there was no record of the specifics.
The reason is just a simple sentence of 'assisting in a special biological experiment', and then there are no records of these nineteen sages... Do you know the inside story?"
Talos shook his head calmly.
"I have no idea."
Seeing the impatient look on Talos's face, Soshyan knew that his friend no longer wanted to dwell on this issue, so he raised his hand to stop Bangura from continuing to speak.
Then he gently pressed Talos' shoulders.
"It's okay if you don't know. Just hope you're safe."
Talos's tense face relaxed, and then he looked at Soshyan.
"I can handle the extracted gene seed myself, okay?"
Soshyan nodded.
"Can."
"Besides, I don't want to stay here too long."
"Half a month, brother, just half a month, okay? I want to make sure that you are in good health."
Talos sighed helplessly. At this time, the intubation tubes on his body were basically removed.
"All right."
At this moment, Bangura seemed to have received some news, and turned to Soshiyang and said:
"Chapter Commander, Second Company Commander Ustad will be here soon. He seems to have urgent information."
"Um?"
Soshyan was a little surprised. What urgent matter made Ustad fly directly to Ulanhuda to find him, but it was probably not a small matter to make him, who is known for his calmness, so anxious. So he nodded towards Talos.
"You should rest first. I'll go see Ustad to see what's the matter."
"You go, and you all go, I'm exhausted after a day of tossing, I want to take a nap for a while."
At Talos' request, all medical staff and servitors left the treatment room, and most of the originally bright lights were extinguished in an instant, leaving only two small lamps emitting a faint cold light.
Talos was lying on the bed, with his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling and wondering what he was thinking.
After a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh, turned his head slightly, and stared at the shadow in the corner near the window.
"Father, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this form."
After a moment, a tall and thin figure walked out of the shadows. His whole body was covered with black cloth like a shroud. Under his long, messy black hair, a pale and lonely face was revealed.
Under the dim light, the giant moved without making any sound. He took two steps and then stopped moving. He just stared blankly at Talos, and Talos also looked at him. The two sides stared at each other in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, a hoarse voice was squeezed out of the giant's throat, like a leaky bellows.
"do you hate me?"
Talos closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, exhaling a cloud of turbid air from his lungs.
"Hate? I can't describe it, just like you can't describe your feelings for the Emperor."
The giant wrapped in shadow lowered his head slightly.
"I'm sorry... I gave you this responsibility without your knowledge."
"You've seen all this before, haven't you? And you never ask for our opinion, but this time at least -"
Talos turned his head again and continued to stare at the ceiling.
"...At least let me be a real hero for once."
The giant appeared silently beside the bed, stretched out his claw-like dry hands, and gently brushed Talos's forehead. Then Talos slowly closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Yes...you will become...a hero..."
That night, Talos returned to the place he had forgotten, a dilapidated shack at the end of a dark and dirty alley.
He gently pushed open the fragile wooden door, and the familiar smell of cooking noodles floated into his mind. A stooped figure sat at the dilapidated dining table. The room was so crowded that it could hardly accommodate a giant.
It was still the same red floral tablecloth, with a small bowl placed on it, with white noodles soaked in turbid soup, but Talos could no longer remember its taste.
When he stepped into the living room, the figure at the table slowly turned around. She looked very old. The fair skin in his memory was now like withered tree bark. The once blond hair was now a mess of gray weeds, but her
His kind eyes never changed.
Talos stepped forward, slowly knelt in front of her without saying a word, and then gently crawled on her thin legs like he did when he was a child.
The woman stretched out her trembling hand, gently brushed his head, and then held him in her arms.
"My child, my...hero."
The silent treatment room was empty except for the slight ticking sound coming from the equipment. Talos was lying on the bed, sleeping like a baby, with two lines of tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes——
On the helipad of the Brilliant Palace, as soon as Soshyan walked out of the door, he saw a gloomy-looking Ustad hurriedly walking towards him.
Then the first words the other party spoke made him widen his eyes.
"Chapter Commander, something happened to Chapter Commander Randall!"
