Taoyuan Manor, a small building by the lake.

Nightingale struggled to open her eyes, her head buzzing as if it were about to explode. She leaned against the edge of the bed and managed to sit up, her gaze sweeping across the room with a dazed look.

This is...where?

Fragments of memory flooded into her mind like a flood.

Twisted monsters, strange black fog, and... Kyle's cold eyes, and the indescribable pain in his chest.

Nightingale shuddered and subconsciously touched his chest.

There are no wounds there anymore, but the feeling of being pierced is like a brand deep in the soul, lingering.

"you're awake?"

A gentle voice sounded in my ears, filled with surprise and concern.

Nightingale looked up and saw Rosie's delicate face, filled with worry.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her throat was so dry that it felt like smoking, and she couldn't utter a word.

"Don't talk, drink some water first." Luo Xi poured a glass of warm water and brought it to her mouth.

Nightingale drank from her hand in small sips. The warm water slid down her throat, making her feel much more comfortable.

Fan Xiao and Ling Yuan also came in, stood aside, and looked at her with concern.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Rosie asked softly, her tone gentle.

Nightingale shook her head, her face pale, and forced a weak smile: "I'm fine... Thank you."

She paused, her voice trembling slightly: "I remember... I was controlled by a black energy, and then... Marshal Kyle..."

Nightingale knew that if it weren't for Kyle, she would probably have lost her life.

"I know." Luo Xi gently held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

"That feeling..." A trace of fear flashed in Nightingale's eyes. "It's like falling into hell. My consciousness is becoming increasingly blurred, and my body is completely out of control... I just feel cold... so cold..."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "I don't blame Marshal Kyle, I know he was trying to save me..."

"I'm glad you think so." Rosie said softly, with a hint of relief in her tone.

Kyle walked in, still looking cold, his black armor gleaming with a cold metallic glow in the morning light.

He walked to the bedside and looked at Nightingale with sharp amber eyes.

"Did you feel anything special when you were controlled?" Kyle asked in a low voice. "For example, the source of the dark energy, or any other clues?"

Nightingale frowned, trying to recall: "I... I seem to feel that dark energy coming from far away... deep in the starry sky... I can't explain the feeling..."

She spoke intermittently, that feeling was like being covered by a layer of fog, unclear, yet real.

"Also... when I was being controlled, there were voices talking in my head..." Nightingale's voice became lower and lower, with a hint of fear. "Those voices... I can't make out what they're saying, but... they're scary, and I want to... kneel down..."

Kyle frowned slightly, said nothing, and just listened quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ling Yuan walked to the bedside, his red eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses flashing with a gentle light.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips lightly swishing through the air, and invisible spiritual power rippled out like water waves, enveloping Nightingale.

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you take a look." He said softly, his voice carrying soothing power.

A look of gratitude appeared on Nightingale's pale face. She nodded, relaxed her body, and allowed Ling Yuan's mental power to penetrate into her sea of ​​consciousness.

Ling Yuan closed his eyes and carefully felt the situation inside Nightingale's body.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Strange..." he muttered to himself, "The dark energy in your body has almost completely disappeared."

Hearing this, Luo Xi quickly asked, "What do you mean? It's Kyle..."

"Yes." Ling Yuan nodded. "Marshal Kyle's methods are even more sophisticated than I imagined."

He paused, then added, "This dark energy is extremely sinister. Ordinary means are simply incapable of removing it. Marshal Kyle's ability to achieve this must be truly unfathomable."

After hearing this, Fan Xiao curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Tsk, that's nothing special." He muttered softly, "When I'm stronger, I can do it too."

"You?" Ling Yuan glanced at him and hit him mercilessly, "Wait for you? Maybe in the next life."

"You!" Fan Xiao was furious. Just as he was about to retort, he heard Kyle's cold voice: "Instead of bickering, why don't you think about how to solve the problem?"

Fan Xiao suddenly wilted. He glared at Ling Yuan fiercely, then turned to look at Kyle and shouted, "Uncle, I'm taking people to the central area of ​​the Chaos Star Region to investigate. I don't believe we can't find those guys' lair!"

"Nonsense!" Kyle frowned. "Do you think this is just a game? There are dangers lurking everywhere. If you act rashly like this, you're just committing suicide."

"But..." Fan Xiao was unwilling, "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Of course not," Kyle said. "I'll look into it, but not now."

He paused, then added, "The Chaos Star Region has been unstable recently. I suspect this incident is related to them, but I cannot rule out the involvement of other forces."

"What should we do then?" Rosie asked.

"Start with the outer reaches of the Chaos Star Region and investigate any unusual activity. At the same time, strengthen Taoyuan Star's defenses," Kyle said, "just in case."

"I'll go." A voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Lu Ye.

He stood there, tall and slender, his peach blossom eyes flashing with determination.

"I'll drive the battleship to the Chaos Star Region for reconnaissance," Lu Ye said. "This way we can get intelligence faster."

Luo Xi was a little worried: "But... it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Lu Ye smiled, his eyes gentle: "Don't worry, I will be fine."

He looked at Luo Xi and said firmly: "I want to do something for you...you guys."

"Okay, then you must be careful." Luo Xi warned softly, her tone full of worry.

Lu Ye nodded and replied "Yes", saying that he would.

Watching Lu Ye's leaving figure, Luo Xi couldn't help but frowning.

When Fan Xiao watched this scene, he felt as if something had pricked his heart, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

This guy, I've never seen him so eager to show off before.

Does the sun come out in the west today?

He turned his head and wanted to say something to Luo Xi, but found that her gaze was still following Lu Ye's direction, with obvious worry in her eyes.

Tsk.

The slight discomfort in Fanxiao's heart instantly swelled into sourness.

My chest feels like it's blocked by a ball of cotton, neither going up nor down, and it's really uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

No.

This cannot go on.

He had to get stronger, he had to get stronger.

Strong enough to protect Sissi, preventing her from frowning again and worrying about anyone again.

Absolutely, she must not be put in any danger again.
