Just as he was about to begin treating the fatal wound on Artoria's chest, Guhan suddenly discovered that he had encountered something he didn't want to see. After another distortion in spacetime, Guhan actually discovered a corpse on the floor of the Seamless Corridor.
"Lu Qingping!"
Guhan felt an enormous wave of anger surge into his heart. This corpse was none other than the little girl that Lu Xihua had rescued, the pitiful Lu Qingping who had rushed to the Seamless Corridor to inform Guhan.
In truth, after parting ways with Lu Qingping, Guhan had already guessed that Lu Qingping would be in great danger.
This was because Lu Qingping didn't have any power to speak of. She was just an ordinary human, and any one of the Yuan Kou in the Seamless Corridor could easily kill Lu Qingping.
Thus, after parting ways with Lu Qingping, Guhan had already predicted that Lu Qingping would very likely die in the hands of Yuan Kou. But Guhan had never expected that Lu Qingping would actually die in such a manner.
But now, she had become a corpse that resembled a broken doll, casually tossed into the Seamless Corridor. One of Lu Qingping's legs and one of her arms had disappeared, and a large hole had been gnawed out of her chest … yes, that's right, a large hole had been gnawed out. Lu Qingping's thigh, arm, and chest had been forcefully eaten away by some sort of creature.
"Damned bastard, this child must have felt incomparable terror and pain before her death!"
Guhan looked at Lu Qingping's eyes, which were so wide that they were about to pop out of their sockets, and thought to himself with incomparable grief.
"Could it be that there are wild beast-like Yuan Kou in the Seamless Corridor?" Seeing this scene, Guhan thought to himself in both grief and anger.
"What's wrong?" At the same time, Guhan made up his mind that as long as he encountered any wild beast-like Yuan Kou in the Seamless Corridor, then Guhan would definitely tear that Yuan Kou into a thousand pieces and take revenge for Lu Qingping.
"What's wrong?
I can sense that your will is filled with grief.
Guhan, did you encounter something sad? "
Inside the dimensional pocket, Artoria, who sensed Guhan's thoughts immediately asked with concern.
Artoria's mind and Guhan's were one, so Artoria could easily sense the changes in Guhan's mind.
"Sigh, my disciple's adopted daughter has been killed …" Guhan said calmly. And then, Lu Qingping's corpse appeared in his dimensional pocket. Guhan naturally couldn't just leave Lu Qingping's corpse in the Seamless Corridor. As Lu Qingping's senior, Guhan had to bury her so that she could rest in peace and become one with the earth.
"What a poor child!"
Seeing Lu Qingping's mutilated corpse, Artoria sighed. But through his mind, Guhan could sense that Artoria didn't feel much fear when she saw such a bloody corpse.
"I see corpses like this every day on the battlefield of Britain. This is nothing to me." As if sensing Guhan's thoughts, Artoria took the initiative to explain.
"Yes, I'll avenge her!"
Guhan nodded. Although he was very sad, Guhan quickly focused his attention on repairing the huge wound on Artoria's abdomen.
But in this way, a new problem arose. The injury on Artoria's abdomen was not as simple as a wound. In fact, two-thirds of Artoria's stomach, four-fifths of her kidneys, and many other internal organs were fatally injured. These internal organs were all in a state of mutilation.
This was not as simple as repairing muscle tissue. Every organ was a vital organ, and the composition of the various cells in it was ever-changing. If the organs were organized with the wrong cells, then even if Artoria's wound was repaired on the surface, once it left the dimensional pocket, it would immediately fall into a terrible state due to the abnormal functioning of the organs.
For safety reasons, Guhan must fully understand the structure of the organs in order to reconstruct Artoria's wound. But Guhan was not a medical graduate.
Even if Guhan was a medical graduate, it was impossible for him to know the specific composition of each organ. So at this time, Guhan urgently needed a specimen to let him know the structure of the human organs.
And at this time, there happened to be such a standard that could satisfy Guhan's needs.
"I'm sorry!" Guhan apologized to Lu Qingping's corpse.
"That's not good, we can't desecrate the dead!" Artoria immediately said as she guessed what Guhan wanted to do.
"It's okay, I've always thought that the living are more important than the dead!"
Guhan said calmly. Ignoring Artoria's objections, he sent more than 100,000 nanomachines into Lu Qingping's body at the same time and began to dissect and analyze the cell composition of Lu Qingping's various body tissues. This analysis took a full 100 days, and Guhan's mind also split from 100,000 to 819200. He could control such a large number of nanomachines at the same time.
When Guhan finally finished analyzing the various organs in Lu Qingping's body, he finally began to repair the last wound in Artoria's body.
Thanks to the simultaneous work of 819200 nanomachines, although Artoria's last wound was incomparably large, the speed of recovery was much faster than most of the previous wounds. In just ten days, Artoria's body had completely recovered. Guhan even finished repairing some of the hidden internal injuries in Artoria's body. Artoria was completely in the healthiest state.
…
"Is this the world of the Seamless Corridor?"
After nearly a year, Artoria finally left Guhan's dimensional pocket and appeared in the world of the Seamless Corridor. She used her mind to control her body.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't been able to control her body for a long time, the moment Artoria touched the ground, she couldn't completely control her body and fell flat on her face.
"Why aren't you helping me up?"
Artoria could not help but complain when she saw that Guhan behind her was just watching a show. He had no intention of helping her up at all.
"Only by using my own strength will I be able to adapt to this body as quickly as possible and stand up as soon as possible!"
Guhan said calmly. Although Artoria admitted that Guhan's words made sense, a wave of dissatisfaction and unhappiness still surged out. She said fiercely, "I don't need you to help me up. I can do it myself!"
Then Artoria began to try to control her body and stand up from the ground. At first, Artoria did a good job. Half of her body was up.
But as her legs gave out, Artoria's body couldn't help but fall to the ground.
But this time, Artoria didn't touch the ground. Instead, she was lifted up by a strong arm, and her body was embraced in his embrace.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't help me?"
Artoria felt the warmth coming from Guhan's body. She pouted and said fiercely.
"I regret it!"
Guhan unconsciously buried his head in Artoria's neck. He sniffed the body fragrance coming from Artoria's body and said faintly, "I realized that rationality is sometimes meaningless. I know that falling is good for your recovery, but I don't want to see you fall in front of me again."
"…" Artoria suddenly did not know what to say. She had never heard someone say words of love to her that seemed to be without any feelings, but in fact, it was full of love.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them had intertwined in the dimensional pocket for a year, Artoria felt an unprecedented warmth flowing through her body. She felt as if she was about to melt in this man's embrace.
And Guhan seemed to have also sensed the change in Artoria's feelings towards him. His lips started from the back of Artoria's neck and kept moving forward until they finally pressed against Artoria's lips.
At this time, Artoria was also aroused. Her body was gasping for breath that was as fragrant as an orchid. Their lips finally touched.
Guhan began to indulge in the sweet liquid in Artoria's mouth. This was an urgent impulse that Guhan had when he first met Artoria in a game dungeon nine years ago. This was also the fundamental motivation that drove Guhan to personally enter the Seamless Corridor to save Artoria despite the danger.
Now that his efforts had finally paid off, Guhan could finally embrace Artoria's body. Naturally, he would immerse himself in Artoria's lips and constantly ask for what he needed.
But the happy time was still too short.
"Damn it … I really didn't come at the right time …" At this critical moment, the entire Seamless Corridor began to change color again. Gu Han, who was afraid of losing Artoria, had no choice but to interrupt the kiss of his dreams and put Artoria back into his dimensional pocket.
"Do you know?
Actually, I prefer the feeling of staying in the dimensional pocket! "Artoria said to Guhan after returning to the dimensional pocket.
"Why?
Don't you like the real world outside?
Isn't returning to the real world your long-cherished wish? "Guhan asked Artoria curiously.
"But only here can I feel your thoughts and truly enjoy the feeling of intertwining with your thoughts … In fact, compared to the kiss just now, I prefer this feeling of being one. It's closer to the love that Teacher Plato taught me," Artoria said with a smile.
"I also prefer this feeling!" Guhan replied with a smile. But soon, Guhan would regret such an answer.
