Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang, bang bang...

In the endless darkness, Luca had no other senses, but he could hear a heavy and steady sound, like a pulse surging, beating his heart rhythmically, urging him to wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt a bright light entering his pupil through his eyelids, and wanted to open his eyes, but found that his body was beyond his control.He couldn't see, he couldn't hear, he couldn't speak, he wasn't even sure if he was breathing... only the voice remained.

He's still here, Luca thought, I haven't lost him yet.

The uninterrupted resonance gradually calmed his bewildered mood.

The darkness struck again, as if he had a premonition, Luca suddenly became agitated.The originally ignorant body felt a sharp pain, as if he was cut off with a sharp weapon, and the tendons and flesh were torn apart bit by bit, and finally broke completely, but he could not die. The pain was so painful that he almost crazy.

From that moment on, that voice disappeared and there was no response.

Bang bang, bang, bang.

Stopped abruptly.

Nothing, nothing.

He had no way to resist, and there was no one to call for help, everything fell silent, so, after a long time, Luca also fell silent.

Since it is truly hopeless darkness.

Then what else can he expect.

When Luca woke up, he saw two familiar faces.

Matthew Hook, Doctor Spike.

He was still wearing the loose and bulky hospital gown, which made him dazed for a moment, thinking that he was still in the laboratory under the Lake of Blue Prayer.Of course, this is impossible.

Like anyone new to sobriety, Luca wondered where he was, what happened, and most importantly, where Ryan was and why he couldn't sense him.

"Here..." Luka paused.

"You..." Luka paused again.

"I..." He rubbed his throat and smiled bleakly, "Is it because I can't make a sound, or I can't hear, can you say something?"

Dr. Spike faced him, and Luca saw his mouth open and close, but didn't hear any sound, he ran the whole distance with reflex arc, nodded clearly: "Ah, I'm deaf."

Matthew also said something, but Luca didn't understand: "Sorry, I'm a little... Not used to it, can I trouble you for a while and write it for me?"

Matthew only wrote him one line: You have been forcibly unbound, and now you and Hades no longer have any relationship.

Luka was stunned for a while, then nodded: "Well, I see."

Matthew gave him an emotionless look and walked out.

Dr. Spike is very interested in Luca, after all, a research subject who is forcibly unbound is very rare.

Seeing that he hadn't left, Luca said, "Shall we chat?"

Dr. Spike gave Luca a writing board as a communication tool between them.

He wrote on it: Speak softly, you are too loud.

Luca coughed in embarrassment, he couldn't hear himself, and he couldn't control the volume for a while, so he just realized that both Matthew and Dr. Spike were suffering from his loud voice before.

After thinking about it, he took the writing board and replied on it: How about I write it too, ha ha.

The corners of Dr. Spike's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, "Haha" I don't need to write such meaningless things.

The two had a silent conversation.

Spike: How are you feeling now, headache?How is your guiding ability?

Luca: May I ask why this happened?

Spike: You answer my question first.

Luca: I refuse to answer any questions without solving my doubts.

Spike: Are you negotiating terms with me?

Luca: Don't say that, I'm just trying to get a little profit for myself.Always know what happened to you, so that you can be in the mood to deal with your research.Don't worry, I don't have many questions.

Seeing that he looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Spike compromised a little.He told him about the decision of the military department and told him: This is normal, you are just abandoned, just like our Dean Matthew.

Luca: Aren't you all wanted after the Spitsch Medical Institution was destroyed?

Spike: That said, General Hooker will never really push his son to a dead end. Besides, many of our research results are indeed ahead of other institutions. The military department is also very interested in this, just a little Made an accommodation and gave us a place to hide.So now we are honestly working for the military, and the SG system has also acquiesced in our existence.

Luca: (￣0￣)

Spike: ...what do you mean?

Luca: It means "oh".So which planet are you landing on now?

Spike: You probably wouldn't expect it, but we're on Evergreen.Although housing prices are high and rents are high here, the living conditions are good, there are many entertainment items, and the public security is also good.

Luca: (￣0￣)

Spike: Are you ready to cooperate with my research?

Luca: Wait, one last question.

Spike: Say.

Luca: Ryan...how is he, is he okay?I want to meet him.

Spike: Don't get your hopes up, he's not here.Our doctors were brought into the military headquarters to treat him, but no one has come back yet. According to the report, he is still awake, but he is fine.Sentinel, life is very hard, when he wakes up, he might be better than you.

Luca: (￣0￣)

Spike: Okay, it's your turn to answer me.How is your guiding ability?

Luca: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Spike: What do you mean! !

Luca: It means "hey".I think I am no longer a guide. Although the spiritual realm is still there, I can no longer control it, and the spiritual body can't sense it. The barrier is completely gone, and it can't be rebuilt. to any external spiritual information.You see, I can't even hear a normal voice.

Spike: This may be a sequelae, not necessarily permanent, of course, this is also a very typical case.

Luca: Are you taking notes?

Spike: Hmm.

Luca: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Spike: ...

Who can tell him what the meaning of this thing is!has no meaning!

After a preliminary understanding of Luca's condition, Spikey let him rest, and of course he was not allowed to leave the ward.

Luca lay on the bed, smiling self-deprecatingly.

Was it abandoned?I don't know what step the military will take?Now this is obviously not thorough.

About half a month later, someone came to visit.

It was expected, and it was also unexpected.

Dr. Spike gave Luca a pair of glasses, not because of vision problems. These glasses are specially made for deaf people, and can translate lip language in real time, so that Luca no longer needs to communicate with people through writing.

The main reason why he got glasses so quickly was because Spikey couldn't stand his emojis.

After repeated practice and testing, Luca has been able to control his volume. He smiled at the visitor: "Aita, I didn't expect you to know this place too. Well, that's right, General Hook arranged, you are his son ..."

"Bind with me," Aita said bluntly, "I asked Spike, and he said that you still exist in the spiritual realm, that is, you can still be rebound."

"Ah..." I don't know if it was due to the impact of this severe injury, but Luca's reflex arc seemed to be longer. He stared blankly at Aita for a while and asked, "Why did you do this? I have lost the ability to guide I can't do anything."

Aita didn't answer his question, but said, "You don't need to do anything for me."

Luka thought for a while: "If you can't be a guide, you can't be a guide. I used to have a good life. What's the point of such a worthless binding? Aita, whether you are out of guilt or pity , I don’t even need such alms.”

His tone wasn't intense, but it was a clear refusal.

When Aita heard his last words, her eyes trembled slightly: "Luka, at Blue Star..."

Luca said: "You deserve a better guide, I hope you can trust him a little more, don't lie to him, believe me, no matter how dull a guide is, they are very sensitive to lies."

Aita was silent for a while, and he swallowed back the apology stuck in his throat.

There are some things that they know each other well, but they can no longer say it out loud. It will become a wall, and people inside and outside the wall no longer belong to the same world.

"You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day." Aita said goodbye to Luca.

"Don't come." Luca waved at him and said half-jokingly, "Leave me a way out."

After he left, Luca walked to the bathroom with limp steps, took off his hospital gown, and twisted his neck with difficulty to look in the mirror.

He has lost a lot of weight recently, his back is a little scraggy, and his neck bone almost protrudes slightly.That totem has dimmed a lot, from the original fiery red to the current dark gray.

It turned out that the totem, the abandoned guide, looked like this.

Luca rubbed his fingers on it, the skin was unconscious, like...

It's like being dead.

Luca knew that Aita was here to kill him.

To cut off his connection with Ryan, only his death is the most thorough.Otherwise, after Ryan woke up, how could the military department explain to him such a stubborn temper?

What Aita said before was probably "persuading surrender", but unfortunately he "doesn't know what to do", so the next time Aita reappears, it should be a real farewell.

It's just that Luca didn't expect that when that day came, someone would come to rescue him.

When Gacy kicked him out of the gate of the Spitsch Research Institute, Luca laughed out loud, like a madman, laughing presumptuously and mournfully.

"Freedom," he said, "freedom is shit."

The freedom after being framed, isolated, and abandoned, he would retch when he thought about it, it was not unusual at all.

Aita was struggling with Gacy's spiritual suggestion, which he couldn't hear.

The institute's siren was whirring, but he couldn't hear it.

In the sanatorium of the military department, he couldn't hear Ryan's manic roar.

He only heard Jiaxi's voice in his heart: "Then you go eat shit."

There was a sudden scream in the sky, and everyone present raised their heads involuntarily.That voice carried powerful spiritual power, even Luca, who was deaf, could feel the pulsation of his eardrums.

Most could not tell where the sound was coming from, but the Sentinels and Guides saw it clearly.

Luca turned around and yelled at Jiaxi in a gust of wind: "Dear mentor, you are so handsome! Your spiritual body is a pterodactyl dragon——"

"It's so noisy! Sit still!"

Jiaxi dragged the noisy and stupid apprentice onto the pterosaur's back, and walked away amidst Luca's shout and the echo of the dragon's roar.

Caressing the hard black scales, feeling the strong wind above the clouds, Luca's heart was extremely surging.

"Master, where are we going—"

"Can't you fucking keep your voice down!" Jiaxi slapped his head, "Go and pick up your son first, and then meet my sentinel."

Luca's reflex arc ran a marathon: "...my son?!...You sentinel?!"
