() This is something that Summerbreeze must make Ifrit understand.

The course of history has long since changed, and the future is full of infinite possibilities, including the worst.

............

In this boundless sea, Xia Feng doesn't know what he is facing, and the most dangerous things in the world are often unknown things.

This time, reason told him that he couldn't protect others like before, and he promised Hemmer to protect Ivlit, but the black and white twins only ran until the 13th day, to put it bluntly, he was not sure, if he died, the level of trouble would directly rise by several levels, and of course he wouldn't know if he was already dead.

By that time, it will be too late, in order for everyone to survive, he must call on his strongest combat power at the moment, and the result is still unknown, he may also die, and Ifrit may also die.

Ifrit is very immature, so he has to make Ifrit understand the meaning of doing this, and prepare for death, maybe this is a sign of his own incompetence, but to put it mildly, even if Ifrit will die, he will let the little fire dragon make her own choice and understand why she died.

Hemmer took a huge risk to protect her, and he himself saved her with his life more than once, so this time, he hoped that Ifrit also understood what it meant to protect others with his life.

At this moment, Puda rushed out of the cabin with a small box and ran to Xia Feng, where he opened a gap in the box.

"Brother Feng, here are 4 S-grade source stones and 11 A-grade source stones."

"Take out the S-rank source stone and give it to me."

"Okay."

Taking an S-grade source stone from Puda, Xia Feng brought it to Ivlit.

"Ifrit, I need your strength, we have to face the existence of non-human beings in the deep sea, everyone is the same, the most important thing is your own life, but this time I want you to risk and protect the people you want to protect, are you willing to fight side by side with me?"

Ifrit looked at Xia Feng in a daze, at this moment, in her life where her understanding of the meaning of life was very shallow, she seemed to understand something.

A memory that was not very long, but very long for her life, came to her mind.

.............

.............

Rhine Life, Experimental Base No. 4.

When Ifrit awoke from her slumber, she had no memory in her head, like a newborn baby, and she knew nothing except the language system that seemed to have been copied and pasted into her brain.

Since then, it has been common to go through various experiments on the laboratory bench every day, and I have been stimulated by severe pain to the point of fainting, paralyzed by drugs, and broken open like a rag doll.

However, when the experiment was over, the indifferent faces in the white coats left the lab one by one, and only one person remained.

The man would wash her body carefully, put her on clean clothes, and gently hug her into his arms, and later she learned that this man's name was Hermer.

Since then, the solitude with Hermer after the experiment has become the only time Ifrett looks forward to, and Hermer has taught her some common sense of life, told her some stories from books, and brought her delicious sweets.

Whenever she saw Hermer, Ifrett's heart was like a blank sheet of paper, she didn't understand what this emotion was, it was like a matter of course, she knew that Hermer would protect her, but she didn't know what she should do.

...........

I don't know how long it has been, maybe she has been quiet, and Ifrit's freedom in the experimental base is no longer restricted, but whenever she passes through the corridor, those in white coats will look at her strangely, and some will whisper.

"It's Subject 19, I don't know what the higher-ups think, but they actually allowed her to move freely."

"Hey, the SP experiment is very special, maybe it's to build her mind."

"It's just an inhuman monster, what kind of mind do you want, anyway, the previous 18 were all dead, and I don't think it will succeed this time."

Ifrit lowered her head, she heard those voices, but she didn't know how to react, she just felt an inexplicable tingling sensation in her heart.

"What are you talking about!"

At this moment, she heard Hemer's familiar voice.

"Ifrit, she's not an emotionless subject, she has her own mind!"

The two staff members who were reprimanded by Hemo were stunned for a moment, and then said with a sneer.

"Yo, isn't this a new high-achieving student, and you even named the test subject, have you played with the house?"

"I really don't know what kind of relationship you used to join the SP experiment.,A newcomer.,I heard that I also participated in the construction of the core part of the experiment.,Could this test subject be your ......?"

"Smack!"

A crisp voice came, and Hemmer, who was usually rational and calm, actually hit someone for the first time.

Ifrit, who was standing next to her, froze, and at that moment, she seemed to understand something, perhaps, protecting her was not what Hermer should have done.

After 2 days.

Two charred corpses were found in the corner of the underground laboratory, and the two were identified as participants in the SP experiment.

Illitelli confessed to being the murderer, and since then she has been restricted from her freedom of movement, and she has been kept in quarantine except for the time spent experimenting.

............

In front of the isolation cell, Serenia questioned her through the bar.

"Ifrit, why do you want to do such a thing, answer me."

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"Those two people seem to have said something very excessive to Hermer, and I don't want Hermer to run into them again."

Serena stared silently into her eyes from the outside.

"You want to protect Hemmer?"

"I don't know."

Sereia opened the door of the isolation room with her authority, walked in and picked up Ifritra who was squatting on the ground, and said to her seriously.

"Hemmer protected you, so you also want to protect her, there is no problem, but you don't know the consequences of doing this, if you understand the price of arbitrariness, and still choose to protect a person, then it is real protection, just like Hemer, if you meet someone in the future who knows the seriousness of the consequences and still chooses to protect you, you should protect him."

.............

In a distant time, the flame djinn Iv "Fleet" Lit could not protect others, because its flame would melt everything, and naturally, no one would protect it, and when it disappeared, everything in the world did not have any sorrow or pity, but only rejoiced.

Drawing her thoughts back from distant memories, Ifrit quietly looked at the source stone handed to her by Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng, when you rushed into the sea of fire to rescue me that day, did you know that you might die?"

Xia Feng was stunned, this was the first time he had heard Ifrit call his name seriously.

"I know I might die, but I'm still going to save you, it's my own choice, and it's none of the same, including you."

.............

Unlike just now, a strange memory came to Ifrit's mind, like a movie, and all kinds of unfamiliar images played out in her mind in turn.

Burning forests, boiling lakes, fiery red skies, blazing earth, and at the very center of the flames that seemed to consume everything, she was herself.

No one is waiting for her to protect, no one is going to protect her, even though her lover is standing in front of her, but she can't hug or touch.

What she saw was the memory of the flame djinn "Iv" Lit, and in the end, it disappeared into this world with this deep regret.

..............

..............

On deck.

Everyone felt at the same time that an invisible heat was inexplicably born, and in the next second, the elements in the air began to tremble uneasily.

Xia Feng's expression was sick, and at this moment, in the pupil of his left eye, an illusory flame beast seemed to be reflected.

In this era, its name is Firefiend.

The invisible heat wave forced everyone to retreat one after another, and Ifrit's body seemed to ignite a sealed furnace, and the afterglow released only distorted the air.

A wave of heat hit Xia Feng's cheeks, and his sixth sense, as the inheritor of the black and white twin, told him that this energy was not the Source Stone technique, it was the flame of the Fire Demon at the same level as the black power in his body.

Ifrit raised her head and reached out to take the source stone that Xia Feng had handed her.

"I understand that I may die in the face of something in the deep sea, but, before I die, I will protect the people I want to protect on this ship, and this is my choice Ifrit."
