forest country

Although Randy is only a doctor and a researcher, he is also a friend of Senior who has known him for many years. He hopes to do his best to keep the news of Senior's return from injury from being known to the outside world.

He recorded all those who knew about it and ordered them not to leave the tower.

That included Joe, Adela, and himself.

It's just such a simple thing that Randy finds it so difficult to do it, even more difficult than ten consecutive hours of surgery.Not only do we have to take care of the emotions of each insider to prevent backlash, but we also need to give them both kindness and power to supervise each other, especially since most of the insiders are assistants who have been with him for a long time, which makes it difficult for Randy to speak.

Now he finally realizes how good the Tower Master Senior is, and when he wakes up, he will no longer despise him as the Tower Master Water.

And Randy took the time to tell Mizusawa about his experience.

When Randy said these words, Mizusawa was applying a hot towel to his face.

"Well, you've said it three times, and I can recite it to you now." Mizusawa said in a muffled voice.

"Have you? Sure enough, your memory will not be good when you get older." Randy pinched the bridge of his nose, "I heard that you have been on the 19th floor these days?"

"Well, I think I've made great progress recently." Mizusawa took off the towel, rubbed the towel again in hot water, twisted the cap and applied the moisture on the face again.

Randy looked at his unbearable face, thought of someone, and said, "I'll let Kunting follow you for a few days, and I won't let him out of the tower, so you can supervise him by the way. If you don’t understand, you can ask him more, he will be a good teacher.”

"Thank you."

"By the way, I almost forgot the business." Randy took the pannier that used to hold Senior, and took out the heavy Greia spar from it, "You found this?"

Mizusawa pulled down half of the towel, exposing his eyes, and nodded.

"It's the first time I've seen such a big and complete Gelia spar." Randy raised the spar with one hand, and the refracted purple light reflected on his cheeks, "And I also found that this spar seems to be similar to the Neil was a great fit."

Hearing this, Mizusawa sat up immediately, and the towel fell onto his lap, revealing the bruises on his face that hadn't gone down.

"How to say?"

Randy explained: "To make prosthetics, the most important thing is to choose the right materials. The reason why the products of House A are so popular is because the materials they choose meet the physical needs of the public. For example, the same two prosthetics The first arm is a bit stiff to use, but it doesn't affect normal life, and the second one is very smooth to use, just like the original arm, which one would you choose?"

Mizusawa said without hesitation, "The second one."

Randy: "The first arm is very strong and can help you resist the attacks of ordinary daggers. The second arm is very thin, and the dagger can easily scratch the wound. Which one would you choose?"

This time Mizusawa hesitated: "If you are a person who is often injured, you will choose the first one, for example, you want to participate in some fights like arenas. But if you are a person who needs to do some fine work, you will choose the second one. Such as a profession like your doctor."

Randy: "That's right, most of the prosthetics on the market now are these two types, and buyers have to work hard to choose between the two when choosing, and the A House is to integrate these two, Each has some advantages. Although they can’t maximize their respective advantages, they still reach 70%. I have done research on the products of House A, and their prosthetics are mixed with some uncommon materials. That’s why In order to combine the advantages.”

Mizusawa listened carefully, nodding non-stop.

"But this material is a kind of ore that we don't have here. I have been looking for something that can replace it for the past few years. I have also done research on Greya spar, but there is no harvest." Randy pointed out Pointing to the piece in his hand, "I'm currently preparing for Senior's new body. When I found it yesterday, I just did a routine match. I didn't expect it to be successful!"

Randy's eyes light up: "You know what that means?"

Mizusawa shook his head half understanding.

"Everyone knows that this spar contains huge energy, and all the mayors are collecting it. But! No one knows how to use it except for its gorgeous appearance!" Randy took a deep breath, "If I can Success, not only will Senior be reborn, but I will also change this place!"

"Great!" Mizusawa nodded repeatedly.

After telling about his great discovery, Randy hugged the spar and left very comfortably.

Mizusawa continued to lie down with his head up, covering his face with a towel that had lost its heat, his vision was pitch black.

Randy was so happy, just now Mizusawa thought of something and didn't dare to say it.

Forget it, I hope I am worrying blindly.

A week later.

Mizusawa, who has not seen Randy these days, went to the 22nd floor to find him.

Randy reached a bottleneck at this time, he used all the body data of the people around him, and matched them one by one with a one-millimeter slice cut from the spar.

All fail.

And Senior's degree of fit is still very high.

"Why? It shouldn't be..." Randy, who hadn't slept much, rubbed his already messy hair, and then it became even more messy.

After listening to Randy's nagging, Mizusawa asked: "Before you said that Senior's tolerance for pain has exceeded the limit of human beings, is it related to this?"

"That's right." Randy clapped his palms together, "Why didn't I think of that!"

"Maybe it's just a bystander. Originally, I didn't know much about these things, that's all I know." Mizusawa said, seeing Randy busy again because of this new idea, he couldn't care about himself at all.

Mizusawa: "Forget it, I'll take a stroll by myself."

Randy didn't raise his head: "Don't touch my things, you can look at them as you like."

Mizusawa walked with his hands behind his back, for fear of bumping into something he couldn't touch.

This is the end of the 22nd floor, three or four of them are Randy's own laboratories, his assistants or other doctors will not come here, it is Randy's request, he requires absolute silence when working, As long as there are footsteps around, it will affect him.

Mizusawa is able to move around here now, thanks to the new idea he just proposed, otherwise Randy would have kicked him out long ago.

White walls, white floors, and all kinds of unknown instruments.

Mizusawa didn't look at it for a while, but felt bored. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to find Randy, he saw a map hanging on the wall in front of him.

The map is a bit strange. If you don't look carefully at the names marked on it, if you take a closer look at it from a distance, it looks like a clock dial, but it's not a circle.

On the square map, from top to bottom, from right to left, six cities are neatly marked, namely Water Lake City, Glory City, Storm City, Southern Desolation City, Dark City, and Glowing Silver City.

The six cities are of the same size and are adjacent to each other end to end. If they are strung together with a line, a circle can be formed.

And in the middle of them, there are four big words marked.

- Polluted land.

According to the map, the area of ​​the polluted land in the middle is unexpectedly larger than the sum of the six cities combined.I originally thought that only the surrounding areas of Storm City had polluted areas, but it turns out that all cities are in line with it.

Mizusawa unconsciously touched the edge of the map, which was also the edge of the paper.

This reminded Mizusawa of the iron sheet that Senior showed him that day.The iron sheet marked with the year, month and day seems to be the date of construction of the Storm Tower.

"What are you looking at."

Randy's voice came from behind.

Mizusawa asked: "Is this the whole map?"

"It's all of them. Look there, do you see the Guangyao Tower marked on it? It's where we are now." Randy pointed out to him.

"Then..." Mizusawa turned his head, "What's outside this map?"

The unexpected question made Randy rarely look up and down Mizusawa seriously.Later, when Senior woke up, Randy told him about it, Senior seemed a little proud, the person he saw was so smart.

Perhaps it was because Senior mentioned some unusual things in front of Mizusawa before that he had this association.

Or maybe, Mizusawa's memory starts from the forest, and everything outside the forest is infinitely strange to him, and he has no limitation of thinking here.

Although Yu Asong said that he was 11 years old when he met Mizusawa, but Mizusawa has no memory of being 11 years old.When I didn't know it before, I never thought about my childhood, but after Yu Ah Song said it, Mizusawa often unconsciously recalled my childhood, but I still can't remember one thing, maybe I used to think it was age Little memory is not good, but now it is confirmed that he has lost the memory before the age of 11.

It's like the people in these six cities, they were born and raised here, what their elders and people around them conveyed to them is that this is the world, and their cognition only has such a large scope, then their world is really It's only so big anymore.In addition, schools are rare, books are rare, and many people will never leave a city for the rest of their lives. Even if you tell them that there are unknown existences outside the city, they probably won't believe it.

Like a frog in a well, what you know is what you see, not big, but very persistent.

At night, the top floor of Guangyao Tower.

Mizusawa lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so he just got up and hugged the pillow and went to the next door.

Senior hasn't woken up yet, and his complexion has improved a lot with the naked eye. During the day, Randy also said that Senior's values ​​recovered quickly.

Mizusawa sat on the ground, leaning against the corner of the hospital bed, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, a full moon hung in the sky outside the window, and the hazy night shimmer cast a light shadow on his face.

"Senior..."

He murmured softly, this name could immediately appear in front of his eyes when he closed his eyes.

The note that said happy birthday was thrown in the swamp in the polluted land. Later, when Mizusawa went in to get the Greia spar again, he searched for it, but he still couldn't find it.

Ever since Senior ran to save himself that day, Mizusawa didn't dare to recall about himself, the forest, and the Blizzard mercenary group.

This is a cowardly side of his character that he has never discovered.

Mizusawa curled up with his pillow in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep amidst his wild thoughts or blankness.

Senior, who was floating in the light blue liquid, slowly opened his eyes. Through the glass, he first saw Mizusawa lying on the floor sleeping, and then the night that was more dull than his eyes, and then Close it slowly again.

Life is lonely, the journey is lonely.

You don't know who you're about to meet, and you don't know what you've missed.

But there is always a soul who is with you.

The world is too bitter.

Only you are that sweet.
