Armor: I can only summon the general

After the three of them poured out their hearts to each other in the corridor, they split up to take care of the others who had not yet woken up.

Although Kufens is in a coma, he is currently not in any serious condition and will wake up after a while.

Therefore, Hua He asked An Mixiu to take care of Bei Kai, who was the most seriously injured, while Qiao Shefei followed him to the ward to take care of Xin Nan and the other three.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, the four summoners in the ward also reacted. The first to wake up was Xi Zhao, who gently opened his eyes in the sunlight.

After a short period of adjustment, Xi Zhao realized his surroundings were so familiar. It had only been a short time since his last hospitalization, and he was already back.

Xi Zhao turned to look at his three brothers, who still had their eyes closed. He let out a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly.

'I wonder what's going on outside. Is Bing'er alright? And Zhao Jia and the others, are they still alive...?'

During this turmoil, Xi Zhao's shadow warriors and the employees of the security company all contributed to maintaining stability.

That's why Xi Zhao was afraid they would suffer losses, since the death of innocent lives was always unavoidable in the war between light and shadow.

Perhaps, dying in this war is the best atonement for their sins…

With this in mind, Xi Zhao took another deep breath and exhaled heavily, his thoughts becoming clear.

Although these shadow warriors have reformed and returned to human society, they cannot hide the crimes they committed in the past.

If these reformed Shadow Warriors truly die in the chaos, then their sins in life will be wiped clean.

As for those who survived, they will do even more to atone for the sins they committed as Shadow Warriors.

Xi Zhao, who was deep in thought, suddenly stopped. He heard footsteps, turned around, and immediately noticed a familiar face that was both unexpected and yet reasonable.

"Huahe! You're awake?"

"Hmm? Something feels off. Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"

Hua He led Qiao Shefei to Xi Zhao's bedside and said softly, "Awake? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"It's alright, as long as I'm alive, there's nothing wrong with that." Xi Zhao said so naturally, as if life and death were just commonplace for him.

Hua He expressed his understanding, after all, he grew up in the film industry and accompanied King of the Realm for more than ten years. It is understandable that there are differences in cognition due to different growth environments.

Hua He nodded and continued to ask with concern, "You've slept for so long, your stomach must be empty by now. What would you like to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Zhao shook his head without hesitation, "If you want to buy food near the hospital, then there's no need. There isn't a single restaurant around here that suits your taste."

"You're quite picky, kid. Does this fit your persona? Shouldn't you be the kind of person who would skin a rat alive and feed it to someone so hungry?" Hua He teased Xi Zhao with a smile.

"That was a long time ago."

Speaking of this, Xi Zhao couldn't help but recall what happened before his last hospitalization. At that time, he had just escaped from the Shadow Realm and even performed a minor surgery on himself to remove the tracking chip from his body.

However, because there was no disinfection or sterilization process during the surgery, and there was no stable source of food and water during the postoperative recovery period, Xi Zhao unfortunately developed a wound infection.

In the early stages of the infection, when Xi Zhao was still able to move, he had to make do with whatever he could find, such as small traps, to catch small animals to eat.

The area around the unfinished building was teeming with rats, and during that time, Xi Zhao had to rely on rats to stave off hunger.

Looking back on that experience now, even Xi Zhao can't help but marvel at how lucky he is to have survived such a situation. He also thinks of the girl who saved him.

"By the way, Huahe, do you have any news about Minci? How is she? Has this turmoil affected her?"

Xi Zhao's sudden question made Hua He frown: "Why did you suddenly think of asking about Min Ci? Are you two very close?"

As soon as he said it, two scenes flashed through Hua He's mind, scenes from the plot he had just watched several times.

In the first scene, Xi Zhao once recruited two young girls as his henchmen. Later, he reformed and the two girls got bored and bullied Min Ci in front of Xi Zhao. Xi Zhao stepped in to help and saved Min Ci.

'He did save her from dire straits, but how those things came about is none of your business...'

In the second scene, Xi Zhao is ostracized by Bei Miao and has the idea of ​​returning to the film industry. Xiao Song asks Min Ci to contact Xi Zhao. The two arrange to meet and confide their secrets to each other.

"Yes, Minci's true identity was only truly revealed around that time, through Xizhao's words in the plot."

Thinking of these images, another question arose in Hua He's mind.

'But I seem to remember that in this world, Minci and Xizhao didn't seem to have much contact. The plot is different from the original; after Xizhao left the Shadow Realm, he's been on my side the whole time, and it seems he doesn't need Minci to save him. So what's the situation between these two?'

Seeing Hua He's furrowed brow in thought, Xi Zhao said naturally, "You forgot? I remember telling you that she was my savior."

"Hiss~" Hua He gasped, "I really forgot about that. I took a nap and my memory isn't quite right."

"Well, here's the thing..."

Xi Zhao recounted the story of his chance encounter with Min Ci and how she saved him, explaining every detail clearly. It took him more than half an hour to finish telling the story.

Hua He and Qiao Shefei stood quietly by the hospital bedside, listening intently. Hua He would occasionally respond to Xi Zhao with words like "um," "ah," or "I see," while Qiao Shefei listened silently without saying a word.

After Xi Zhao finished speaking, Hua He nodded emphatically. "Oh, I see. What a coincidence. But I don't think I've had a chance to ask about Min Ci yet. I'll call Aunt Hui first and ask her."

As he spoke, Hua He picked up his phone and went outside to call Aunt Hui to inquire about Min Ci's situation.

In the ward, Qiao Shefei stood by Xi Zhao's bedside. Xi Zhao watched Hua He leave the ward and then met Qiao Shefei's gaze.

"This was really a close call; I thought I wouldn't make it back."

Qiao Shefei smiled in response: "Well, we're back now. The outcome is good after all. There's no point in thinking about these things now. You all need to recover as soon as possible. Let's try to eliminate the remnants of the film industry as soon as possible and end this war of light and shadow that has lasted for thousands of years."

Xi Zhao's eyes were filled with longing: "Yes, Hua He mentioned this to me before. He said he wanted to end the war in our generation. Maybe we can really achieve this goal."

"This is inevitable. We will surely win this battle of light and shadow and usher in a beautiful and peaceful life."

Although Qiao Shefei said these words, he himself did not believe them. After the war of light and shadow ended, there was still the war for Earth's energy crystals left over from the Song Dynasty, as well as the threat that had not yet appeared.

In short, George Sheffield did not see the day when peace would arrive amidst the flames of war, but he remained hopeful and worked hard for that day to come.
