Chapter 716: A Last Wish in the Blazing Heat
Ifrit is not afraid of fire, this statement is not pure. Not being afraid and "not being afraid" are completely two different concepts.
Just as someone said that I am not afraid of death, it is not because I have the ability to resurrect that I am not afraid of death, but because he feels that he can bear or is willing to bear death in the face of certain things.
Of course, Ifrit does have some degree of immunity to flames, but her current state is obviously not something that can be solved by being immune to flames.
....
"Ifrit, don't be pushy, I'll take care of it."
"Oh, I'll leave everything to you, and you're not a god."
This was the first time Ifrit had said such a thing, and since then, she has understood that Xia Feng has been bearing the wind and rain for her.
And this bearing is not his obligation.
Xia Feng glanced at the young man who looked similar to him at the main entrance of the base, and found that a "person" also began to move in this direction.
"Ivlit...."
"I feel it too, there's another guy over there, it's dangerous."
"I can handle it, you go back and find the turtle ...... first"
Ifrit's weak, stubborn voice interrupted him.
"Source Stone."
"What?"
"Give me the Source Stone."
Hearing Ifrit's words, the wolf next to him subconsciously took out a source stone from his bag.
Seeing this, Xia Feng immediately shouted.
"What are you doing, don't give it to her!"
Judging from past experience, Ifrit was no longer able to continue fighting after unleashing the powerful explosion just now, and now being able to stand and talk was considered extraordinary.
However, the enemy will not give them time to discuss in the battlefield.
....
"Boom!"
In the distance, No. 021 suddenly aimed his palm at this side, and then, a thick flame roared towards him.
Xia Feng just wanted to raise his knife to meet him, but he saw that Ifrit didn't know where to get the strength, so he kicked him away directly, and then snatched the source stone from the wolf's big hand.
In the next second, Ivlit's thin body met the pillar of fire.
The flames bloomed, and the unbearable heat of ordinary people spread out, and if they didn't go, they would all be severely burned in the heat of the flames.
In desperation, the red knife grabbed Xia Feng, who wanted to hesitate, and rushed out of the coverage of the high temperature with the wolf.
Because the range of movement was too large, Xia Feng's communicator fell to the ground.
...
Xia Feng didn't actually lose his judgment due to impulse.
His sanity told him that he couldn't ignore the 022 that was coming at him step by step until he helped Ivlit.
After getting out of the heat range, Xia Feng glanced back at Ifrit, she was right, this kind of flame really couldn't hurt her.
Turning around with worry, Xia Feng rushed to the back of the turtle and the turtle.
"Everyone, back down, shrink your defense!"
He didn't know what the strength of the boy who had copied his abilities was, so he had to get everyone back.
He's going to stay with everyone, and he's going to have to keep up with the boy as long as he makes a move.
...
...
As the flames dissipated, Ifrit's raised palm gradually drooped, panting heavily.
Even if she held the source stone at the moment, it was difficult for her to release the power she had just now, and the "furnace" in her body seemed to be imprisoned by a huge shackle, and she could only feel its existence, but she could not activate it again.
021 held out his hand, and flames rose from his palm.
"Sister, in this state, it is impossible for you to win against me, I want to merge with you and become a person."
"Shut up."
Stepping away from her weak legs, Ifrit gritted her teeth and rushed towards 021.
Unable to release the flames, she could only attack with the most primitive method, which was fists.
However, she was greeted by No. 021, who had been blessed by the Source Stone Technique and was filled with flaming fists.
...
"Bang!"
Ifrit's arm was easily knocked away, and the punch slammed into her face.
The thin body spun and flew out, falling to the ground and rolling a few times.
No. 021 kept up with the footsteps and gradually approached.
"It's useless, I have the simulation data of the Fire Demon recorded in my head, even if you can consume the source stone in your hand now, you can't beat me."
"Closed.... Mouth. ”
Bracing herself, Ifrit struggled to her feet.
021 relentlessly raised his palm, and a thick pillar of fire knocked out the re-up-standing Ifrit again.
...
The high temperature emanated on Ifrit's body, but because of the excessive consumption just now, she couldn't exert the corresponding strength at the moment, so she could only be beaten passively.
After being knocked down a few times, she lay on the ground and struggled a few times before she got up.
"Sister, it seems that I can only make you completely incapacitated, and then devour you in the same way as the simulation experiment."
Unable to open her eyes and look at No. 021 walking towards her step by step, Ifrit opened her mouth.
"I'm not your sister, my name is Ivlit."
"No, you don't have a name, and neither do I, we're all the same, only numbers."
"Who said that, I'm not the same as you!"
021 looked at her with a blank expression.
"Ifrit is the real name of the Firefiend, but you are not the test subject of the successful Firefiend Project, if I succeed in devouring you, I will become Ifrit."
"No, you're talking nonsense!"
"We're all the same, you're 019, I'm 021, and the subject shouldn't have a mind of its own, because we can be replaced at will."
"Nope."
"It is our mission to provide data support for experiments, to change the planning of follow-up experiments at the cost of failure, and to be destroyed after losing value."
"No, no, she said I wouldn't be replaced."
"Number 019, my sister, we will all be replaced, like now, I will replace you in a moment, and then you will disappear, and no one will remember that a worthless test subject ever existed."
Ifrit's voice grew weaker and weaker.
"No, we're different, different ....."
A distant memory came to Ifrit's mind.
Obviously, she has forgotten a lot of things, but she always remembers this picture.
....
Inside the cold laboratory.
As the experimental equipment stopped functioning, the people in white coats left one after another.
Ifrit was already in a state of confusion from the pain all over her body, when a pair of warm hands picked her up and embraced her into her arms.
Inside Hermer's private room.
Ifrit was carefully washed of the potions and filth from her body, and after taking a hot shower, Hemmer helped her change into clean and refreshing pajamas.
"Is it warm?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to eat sugar, it's specially prepared for you."
"Yes."
Sitting in the chair, Ifrit's cheeks bulged, and the sweetness of the candy made her so happy that her little head couldn't help but sway from side to side.
"It's delicious."
Hemmer looked at her tenderly.
"If you like it, I can always prepare candy for you in the future."
Feeling the touch of being caressed by Hermer's head, Ifrit asked with wide eyes.
"You're a good guy, what's your number?"
"I don't have a number, my name is Hemer."
"Hemmer.... Hemmer.... Okay, I'll call you Hemer from now on, by the way, my number is 019. ”
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a large number of people from the Defense Section broke in.
The leader of the team had a cold face and a terrifying gun-type weapon in his hand.
"Fellow Hermer, don't have any contact with the subject, you're violating the rules."
"I'm sorry...."
Subsequently, the helpless Ifrit was forcibly taken away.
...
A few months later.
Ifrit was back in Hemer's room again.
Warm hot baths, dry clothes, delicious sweets, Hemmer took care of her as before, gently.
Sitting in her chair, Ifrit was a little restrained.
"Hemer, didn't those guys let you have private contact with me?"
Hemmer smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, I got permission, now I'm not a clerk, I'm already a doctor."
"Doctor? Isn't it amazing? ”
"Heh, nothing remarkable."
Taking Ifrit's hand, Hemmer pulled her up.
"019 is just your code name, but everyone should have their own name, the name is unique, it is an irreplaceable existence, from today on, your name will be Ifrit."
Ifrit blinked wide-eyed and muttered.
"Ifrit ....."
"Well, to celebrate that you have your own name, this is for you."
Hemmer smiled and handed a storybook to Evlit.
"What is this?"
"This is the book."
"But... I don't understand. ”
"It's okay, I can teach you slowly, from now on, we will always be together, Ifrit, for me, you are a special being."
...
...
The battlefield was filled with heat, and Ifrit's ears seemed to echo with Hemer's gentle voice.
"Hemmer....."
Her senses were numbed by the aches and pain, and weakness and weakness took over her body.
For some reason, tears had fallen from the corners of his eyes.
"Hemer..... I'm not an experimental subject.... Woo woo, I have a name, it's the name you gave me, I'm not the same guy who only has a number, right? ”
Tears blurred her eyes, and the figure of 021 gradually blurred towards her.
Ifrit didn't know what devouring was, but perhaps this was her mission as a test subject.
"Evely!"
In a blur, Hemer's voice suddenly reached Ifrit's ears.
The communicator that had just been left on the ground by the summer breeze made a sound, and even though its appearance had been burned by the heat, the excellent heat-resistant parts still maintained its last communication function.
Hemer's voice was crying, but in the cry, there was an unshakable persistence.
"Ifrit, you are not an experimental subject, you are my most important person, for so long, Xia Feng has taken you to see this huge world, you are the same as everyone, but different from everyone, the same thing, you also have the right to enjoy this world, instead of staying in the cold laboratory, the difference is that you have a unique name, this name, for me, has a unique meaning, no one can replace you, you are the only existence in the world, accept the love of friends, To love the person you want to love, your life is just beginning. ”
....
Hurmer's voice echoed through the communicator, and Ifrit's blurred eyes blurred.
In the pupils, there is a bright brilliance.
Hemmer seemed to have said something similar to her a long time ago.
But at that time, she did not understand the meaning of these words, for her at that time, the cold laboratory, and the candy that she looked forward to after the experiment, was her whole world.
After following Xia Feng to escape from Rhine Life, she saw the world beyond the laboratory.
During the one year I spent at the Black Feather Grill restaurant, various images with rich emotions were constantly staged in front of me.
Everyone is giving their own emotions and receiving the love of their peers.
From Xia Feng, she saw the outburst of various emotions, the persistence in a desperate situation, the courage to defy death, and the determination to take everything for the important people.
From Colombia to Victoria, from the south to the north.
The snow-capped mountains of Syracuse, the steppes of Casimir, the cataclysmic areas of Sami, the prisons of Longmen, the snowfields of Ursus, the rings of the Royal Academy.
Xia Feng taught her with practical actions.
What is the interweaving of sorrow and joy, the coexistence of laughter and tears, and the life of flesh and blood.
....
At this moment, Ifrit finally understood what the inexplicable emotions that had been permeating her heart were whenever she looked at Xiao Mo in the cage.
It turns out that it is love.
Love, on the other hand, is mutual.
....
"Smack!"
The sound of shackles shattering seemed to come from the soul, and the furnace that had been sealed due to the lack of emotion was completely broken at this moment.
The last wish in the blazing heat turned into endless flames.
Flame Djinn Ifrit and Ifrit at Black Feather Grill are connected at this moment.
The fire demon has truly awakened.
