Chapter 264 Coma
Chapter 264 Coma
Bei Miao's eyes fell on the lonely recorder on the table, as if they had lost focus. His fingers trembled slightly, and he slowly reached out to the recorder and gently touched the small switch.
As he moved, a low and continuous sound began to spread in the air.
"A little boy fled the scene in a hurry out of fear." The voice in the recording carried a deep helplessness and sadness, which made people feel sad.
Bei Miao's face turned pale, and he bit his lips tightly, trying to control his emotions. However, when the next words sounded, he could no longer suppress the pain in his heart.
"But then, another little boy bravely stepped forward and used stones as weapons to challenge the unknown threat..." These words pierced Bei Miao's heart like a sharp sword. Tears flashed in his eyes and a low whimper came from his throat.
He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly with excitement. Then, he suddenly used his forehead as a hammer and slammed it heavily on the table, making a heavy and heart-pounding sound.
At this moment, Bei Miao's world seemed to be trembling, and his heart was filled with self-blame, regret and endless pain.
He thought of his former self, the timid and cowardly little boy. He regretted not facing his fear bravely like the boy in the recording, but instead chose to escape.
In an instant, a bright red spread from his forehead, like the afterglow of the setting sun, slowly sliding across his cheeks, and finally blooming into a shocking blood-red flower on the table.
Bei Miao's eyes were closed tightly, his brows furrowed into a deep furrow, as if he was suffocating under the pressure of an invisible burden.
His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood seeped out silently and intertwined with the previous bloodstains, but all this seemed unable to awaken his perception of pain.
Kunzhong witnessed this scene with mixed feelings in his heart. Shock and worry intertwined into a complex web that tightly bound him.
He instinctively wanted to get closer and give Bei Miao some comfort, but was stopped by Xi Zhao in the blink of an eye.
Xizhao's eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness and calmness. He knew very well that at such an emotional moment, the most important thing was to remain rational and calm.
"Ah——!" Bei Miao's wailing was like thunder tearing through the night sky, carrying endless pain and confusion, echoing in every corner of the room.
That voice is both a question to fate and an accusation of one's own heart, which moves people.
Bei Miao's eyes were empty and desperate at this moment, his hands tightly covering his chest. An unfathomable sense of guilt surged like a tide, almost drowning him completely.
Deep down, he was determined to exclude Xizhao, believing that it was for some legitimate reasons. However, the cruelty of reality was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting through his self-righteousness.
"Why can he do what I can't do?" Bei Miao asked himself repeatedly in his heart. The coldness born out of prejudice made him push Xizhao into deeper darkness with his own hands.
Self-blame and regret entangled him like a poisonous snake, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Beimiao, ah Beimiao, how can you be so stupid!" He muttered to himself, his voice filled with endless disgust and hatred for himself.
Two lines of clear tears slid uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the cold ground, as if testifying to his inner regret.
"I seem to have never really grown up." He whispered, with deep self-blame and helplessness in his voice.
Looking back on the past, he felt sorry for his little sister Xiaoxue and was disappointed with his comrades. Everything seemed like a heavy shackle that made it hard for him to breathe.
He roared, his voice full of pain and struggle, as if he wanted to vent all the pain and unwillingness in his heart.
Tears and sweat intertwined, blurring his vision and the boundary between him and reality. In his mind, it seemed as if countless sharp spikes were constantly piercing, causing him to suffer so much pain that he almost fell into the brink of madness.
However, in the end, the roar gradually subsided. Bei Miao's body collapsed to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained out of him.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and he finally fell into a deep coma. In this darkness and silence, he might be able to find a moment of peace and salvation.
......
In the quiet atmosphere of the ERP research room, a sudden sharp alarm exploded like thunder, instantly breaking the original calm and making people's hearts involuntarily tense.
"Power fluctuation warning!" Li Xinnan's brows quickly darkened upon hearing this, and his eyes flashed with alertness and urgency. He turned his head almost instinctively and cast his gaze towards Meizhen who was busy responding.
Meizhen looked serious, her hands jumping rapidly on the keyboard as if playing a piece of music. While operating, she announced calmly: "Locate the source of the anomaly immediately!" Every word she said revealed her unquestionable determination, as if she was the stabilizer in this storm.
Li Xinnan nodded silently. Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he also knew that he had not yet recovered the ability to summon the Flame Dragon Armor and could not directly join the front line.
So, he turned this anxiety and expectation into trust in his teammates, with deep expectations in his eyes.
He slowly shifted his gaze towards Dongshan, Kunzhong and Xizhao, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.
"Dongshan, I entrust this important mission to you." Although his voice was soft, it contained a power that should not be underestimated, making people feel an invisible responsibility and pressure.
Dong Shan heard this and the corners of his mouth curled up with confidence. That smile showed both his calmness in the face of challenges and his desire for victory.
He stepped forward, side by side with Kunzhong and Xizhao, and walked out of the laboratory with firm steps, ready to meet the upcoming unknown challenges.
