Chapter 62: Son of Prometheus, a life-threatening fighting style!
"How do you know my identity as the son of Prometheus?"
It was as if a huge rock was thrown into the lake of Qian Shulian's heart, causing ripples. Endless doubts and surprises spread in his heart, enveloping him like a fog.
This secret truth should only circulate among the whispers of a very small number of people and be hidden like the stars in the dark night.
He, Qian Shulian, a young man with extraordinary blood, specially chose this remote land as a safe haven, hoping that in the tranquility of this foreign country, he could put on ordinary clothes, spend every day quietly, and bury the past deep in his heart.
"No need to be so defensive, my intention is just to have a normal conversation."
Seeing Qian Shulian's almost dramatic reaction, Lin Chen's mouth corners inadvertently outlined a gentle smile.
In his eyes, this excessive vigilance seemed a bit immature, forming a sharp contrast with the experienced and steady Ji Yajun.
The river of time has not left too many traces of vicissitudes in Qian Shulian's heart, so that he still retains a purity and vitality that has not been eroded by worldliness.
But it was this unique youthful vigor that made Lin Chen feel a different kind of charm.
Compared to old trees that have experienced wind and rain, Qianshulian is more like a new bud in spring, full of vitality. Even in the face of unknowns and challenges, it still holds infinite possibilities and aspirations.
This unpolished purity and directness may, at some inadvertent moment, bloom into a striking radiance.
It's just that his life span was indeed too short.
Hearing that the other party only wanted a friendly conversation, Qian Shulian's nervousness seemed to be blown away by a gentle breeze. He then slowly sat back on the bench and continued to taste the cake in his hand.
Every bite of the delicate cream blending with the soft cake slowly bloomed on his taste buds, bringing a hint of imperceptible comfort.
There was no trace of surprise in his eyes at the sudden conversation in his mind.
After all, in this complex world, people with such a unique identity as him have already witnessed too many phenomena beyond common sense.
To him, the voice in his head is as common and natural as the sun rising every day.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Qian Shulian decided to respond to the unknown invitation directly with the voice deep in his heart. His tone was indifferent, but also concealed a subtle curiosity and expectation.
“Just imagine, if I hold the secret that can make your river of life flow forever, are you willing to believe in the existence of this miracle?”
Lin Chen's words seemed to have transcended the barriers of time and space, directly causing ripples in Qian Shulian's heart.
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing Qian Shulian to pause unconsciously.
The cake stayed in mid-air, and that moment of stillness seemed to freeze the air around it.
Then, he slowly put the cake into his mouth, chewing it with a deep meaning. A bitter smile quietly emerged in his heart, which was both a sense of relief for this unexpected hope and a helpless self-mockery for the fickleness of fate.
"Oh, if there is such a possibility that I can stay in this world for a little longer, what a wonderful wish that would be."
Qian Shulian's inner thoughts were mixed with a faint longing and an unspeakable sorrow, just like the farthest stars in the night sky, flickering a faint light that was both near and far.
Mainly the sons of Prometheus, basically all of them have genetic defects.
It is this genetic defect that prevents them from living longer.
Unless the laboratory created the drug Raphael. At least in their eyes, only this drug could save their lives.
As for other methods, it should be completely impossible.
"Besides, I know I don't have much time left, so I plan to do something useful in the remaining time."
As Qian Shulian spoke, her eyes gradually became firm.
Even his aura changed accordingly.
The evolved trustee in his arms, after feeling Qian Shulian's feelings, also began to make heartbeats, resonating with his will.
Deep in Lin Chen's heart, there seemed to be a bright mirror, reflecting every subtle ripple in Qian Shulian's heart.
He understood that Qian Shulian would do whatever it takes every time she made a move, a determination to race against time.
Qian Shulian's life candle seemed to be shorter than that of ordinary people from the very beginning. This helplessness made every step he took on the battlefield feel tragic and heroic, involving the line between life and death.
The tactics he adopted were tantamount to fighting for his life. He regarded every attack as a declaration of mutual destruction and used his own injuries to exchange for the death of the enemy. His attack was direct, ruthless and left no room for maneuver.
It is not just a battle, it is more like a struggle for life, to prove the value of one's existence, even if it is only for a moment of glory.
Every time a battle ended, Qian Shulian's body was always covered with scars, and his battle suit was soaked with blood, but he never easily used the legendary pair of stone wings to heal himself.
It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't. The Wings of Stone are rare wonders in the world. They can promote cell division at an incredible speed, thereby stimulating the amazing self-repair ability of living organisms. But behind all these miracles, there is a cruel truth.
For Qian Shulian, whose life span is already short, accelerating cell division is tantamount to burning his already limited life flame prematurely.
It was a treatment method that cost him his life. Every minute and every second of recovery was silently cutting into his remaining time, further compressing his already short life.
This kind of exchange was too heavy a burden. Qian Shulian was unwilling and dared not bear it.
Therefore, under countless bloody dusks, the price of victory was that Qian Shulian licked his wounds alone, endured the severe pain, and silently endured the physical fatigue and spiritual torment.
He is like a lone figure in the night. Even though he is covered with wounds, he remains tenacious and unyielding, quietly waiting for the next storm to come. In his own way, he interprets what it means to live and fight as long as you live.
So when Qian Shulian plays with his life, he is even more ruthless than Himeya Jun.
Lin Chen didn't want to feel sorry for him, but planned to use this guy to provoke Noah.
The main reason is that Qian Shulian has never used the power of Nexus in battle.
I have not yet experienced what a true life-and-death battle is like.
After he fights the first alien beast in his life.
He would have understood what a life-and-death battle would be like.
It won’t be too late for Lin Chen to slowly use his own power to seduce Qian Shulian when the time comes.
