Eye of Darkness

In the boundless darkness, he felt a growing sense of powerlessness all over his body. Yan Ming's heart sank bit by bit. A suffocating feeling like sea water gradually surged into his heart and gradually eroded away.

"Ming..."

Just when Yan Ming felt that he was about to fall into eternal darkness, a faint voice came from his ears.

Yan Ming opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw that at some point, Geng Gui's smiling figure appeared in front of Yan Ming. Suddenly, without any warning, a few different colors appeared in the dark world, even the deep purple The dark body almost blends into the surrounding darkness.

Gengar.......

Yan Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and slowly, figures appeared in Yan Ming's sight one by one, such as Fengsuogou, Zoroa, Almost Baby, Zhuguangling, Charizard, and Xiaomao...

Gradually, this faint light began to expand.

Everyone....

Yan Ming, who was gradually regaining consciousness, looked at the group of people in front of him, including family members, partners, rivals, friends...

These are everything he has experienced since he came to this world.

I.....

Looking at the images in front of him, Yan Ming's nose was slightly sour and his eyes were red.

Thanks.....

Involuntarily, Yan Ming stretched out his hand to touch the people with smiles on their faces, but the scene in front of him gradually turned into ashes and disappeared the second he was about to touch them.

Everyone!

He sat up with a sudden impulse, and before he could recover, an unspeakable severe soreness hit his whole body the next second, and Yan Ming couldn't help but groan softly in pain.

Subconsciously, he lowered his head to look at the injuries on his body. His whole body was wrapped in white bandages, but even so, scratches and wounds deep into the bones could still be seen clearly before his eyes. The terrifying feeling of rolling skin and flesh was obviously not complete. Rehabilitation.

Looking at the scars on his body, Yan Ming vaguely remembered what happened last night.

Gengar...Gengar!

"Ming, you finally woke up!"

Gengar's slightly surprised voice came from his mind.

"what?!"

Hearing Geng Gui's words suddenly, Yan Ming quickly raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Geng Gui who was intact and looked happy.

Without waiting for Geng Gui to say anything, Yan Ming involuntarily gave Geng Gui a bear hug and hugged Geng Gui who was leaning next to the hospital bed, completely ignoring the soreness in his body. It was so funny and like a bear. A child who feels aggrieved and helpless and wants to cry to his family.

Seeing this, Geng Gui wanted to break away and let Yan Ming have a good rest, but he found that Yan Ming's arms were getting harder and harder. It was clear that he could not fully hug his body, but he still clung to him firmly.

Silent, feeling the fragile feeling in Yan Ming's heart that could rarely be conveyed at this moment, Geng Gui did not move any more.

Looking at Ming's small body in his arms, he wondered why, inexplicably, if this was how his master faced him when he was a child...

He raised his hand and gently placed it on his slightly trembling back. Geng Gui let Yan Ming hold him like this.

Ming...your clumsy hug...came too late...

The warm morning sun penetrates through the window sill into this small medical room, filling and soothing every shadowed corner...

I don't know how long it took, but Yan Ming buried his head in Geng Gui's chest, his voice was slightly choked, and he said muffledly.

"How long have I slept..."

Gengar remained patient and replied warmly.

"Three days."

"Three days..."

Yan Ming muttered silently, and finally let go of his hands holding Geng Gui.

Looking at Geng Gui who was a little at a loss because of his actions, Yan Ming couldn't help but chuckle, which made Geng Gui, who was a little nervous inside, suddenly turn a little darker.

Seeing Geng Gui staring at him with an unkind expression, Yan Ming quickly changed the subject.

"What about everyone?"

As he said that, Yan Ming began to look around. There were not many furnishings in the hospital room. In just a moment, Yan Ming saw several elf balls placed on the belt on the table tray, as well as the ones Yan Ming wore during the battle yesterday. pieces of clothing that have been mended and clean.

Seeing Yan Ming's eyes falling on the elf ball, Geng Gui walked over without waiting for Yan Ming to say anything and brought the things in front of Yan Ming.

After taking the belt and clothes, Yan Ming opened the elf ball without thinking too much. Suddenly, the small room was filled with elves.

Because the elf ball was locked, they didn't know exactly what happened, but after not seeing each other for such a long time, they understood that Yan Ming was in danger.

When they finally came out, they were already on the detection equipment at the Elf Center. Yan Ming was nowhere to be seen. Even the usually steady Xiangbawa and Soraya wanted to search for Yan Ming immediately.

Not to mention the hot-tempered and aggressive Charizard and the others, they almost demolished the Elf Center.

Fortunately, Gengar appeared in time, stabilized everyone, and roughly explained the situation.

But after that, everyone fell into silence. Although Yan Ming survived the crisis, at this critical moment of life and death, not only could he and other elves not be able to help Yan Ming tide over the difficulties, but they had become a bargaining chip for the enemy to threaten Yan Ming. They could not bear it for a while. Constantly falling into self-blame.

Even they know that there is no way around it.

Afterwards, they entered the elf ball and were brought to Yan Ming by Geng Gui. As for the clothes, someone brought them to them when Geng Gui came to the door.

The elves who appeared in this room at this time all looked at the bandaged Yan Ming with self-blame. The guilt in their hearts made Yan Ming sigh.

Smiling slightly, Yan Ming looked at the elves, feeling the emotions conveyed by them and the emotional bonds behind them, and shook his head.

"Everyone, it's not your fault this time..."

As he spoke, Yan Ming lowered his forehead slightly.

"I have never dared to face my inner flaws..."

Yan Ming raised his hand and rubbed the head of the wind speed dog next to him.

"I have never paid attention to your concern for me and ignored your wishes...I'm sorry..."

Hearing what Yan Ming said, the elves were a little surprised, and they were as at a loss as the fire-breathing dragon and the candlelight spirit.

They did want to fight with Yan Ming, but they had no idea of ​​blaming Yan Ming because it was their choice.

Moreover, they have always known that Yan Ming, who is only about ten years old, still needs time to grow.

Almost the moment the baby came out, she noticed the change in Yan Ming's mentality, so she kept looking at Yan Ming. At this time, hearing what Yan Ming said, she took a step forward, raised her hand to hold Yan Ming's hand, and then Under Yan Ming's gaze, he placed Yan Ming's hand on his heart.

"Ming, don't feel sorry..."

"Ming, the reason why we want to fight and improve our strength through various channels does not necessarily mean that we really like fighting."

Saying that, the almost doll smiled slightly.

"Ming, do you know that our elves' pursuit of strength was originally just an instinct for biological survival, which is a kind of unconscious self-improvement."

"And when we are willing to choose a trainer, what we desire and value is the trainer yourself, and it is also the complex emotional bond that will be nurtured between us in the future."

"It is precisely because of curiosity and longing for this emotion that I chose you, Ming."

As he said that, the little doll looked at the elves beside him, and then said warmly.

"In order to protect this bond, we have motivation to improve. It is also because of this hard-won bond that our growth has a deeper and more complex meaning."

The doll raised its other hand, gently placed it on Yan Ming's furry head, and rubbed it.

"So Ming, don't be too harsh on yourself. As for us, we don't regret our original choice during this time with you. We want to fight with you and face difficulties because we want to deepen this relationship." The bond is also ours, wanting to protect you."

Feeling the warmth from the almost-doll's palm and listening to the soothing words of the almost-doll, Yan Ming remained silent, his eyes a little sour.

"Ming, you know, you are learning to grow up now, and I, we, are really happy to be able to witness your changes, and we are also lucky to be able to accompany you in your growth."

"So Ming, please remember to go step by step. No matter what decision you make in the future, please don't forget that we will always be behind you to accompany you forward."
