"Then what else can we do? Lord Son of God..." The silent Amagi spoke, her face was extremely pale, and her guilt towards Akagi reached its extreme.
"..." Nagato shook his head. There were ways, but they were all impossible to realize.
Shinano and Musashi, who possess greater power, might have a solution, but neither of them was awakened.
Furthermore, Akagi does not have enough time to reach Tianyan Island. On the way there, the cursed power will explode, and Akagi will die completely.
"Please tell me the method, Lord Nagato... I want to try it no matter what! Please..." Kaga's voice was a little trembling, but extremely firm.
"....Maybe Shinano and Musashi can save Akagi...but they all..." Nagato didn't say anything else, with a hint of sadness in his voice.
This hope is a deeper despair for Kaga.
"Shinano..." Jiang Cheng was very familiar with this name. He knew that Shinano might have woken up.
"She is on Tianyan Island. She may have woken up."
"How is it possible..." Nagato asked in confusion.
"Does Nagato believe me?"
"Of course I believe you."
"What about Amagi?"
"Tiancheng also believes in the Lord." Tiancheng looked at Jiangcheng with her purple eyes and nodded firmly. As for Kaga, she was unwilling to give up this last hope no matter what.
"Then let's set off for Tianyan Island now."
"But, there is not enough time... Even at the fastest speed, the cursed force will completely erode Akagi's heart on the way..."
"Time is not a problem..." Jiang Cheng put his fingers on Akagi's wrist, feeling her pulse. Of course, he had no experience with the body structure of ship girls, but he could also feel the restless power in Akagi's body.
At the moment of contact, a faint golden light shot out from Jiang Cheng's fingertips and entered Chicheng's body.
The black runes on Akagi's body quickly faded away, and the black energy around him dissipated.
"Lord Jiangcheng..." Chicheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Jiangcheng with tired red eyes, and said slightly weakly.
"How is this possible?" Nagato held Akagi's hand again, and the force temporarily stopped eroding Akagi's body. Akagi could still be saved!
.....
81. Please make Sister Tiancheng happy!
At night, the sea is thicker than the night itself, a pitch-black darkness that is extreme compared to the blue sea and sky during the day.
A ship of the Sakura Empire was speeding in the darkness, bringing a faint light to the darkness.
In the cabin.
Akagi lay weakly on the bed, her red eyes half open, the dim light reflected on her pale cheeks.
Although she was physically weak, her spirit had never been so relaxed. The power in her body was temporarily sealed, and the impact on her was reduced to a minimum.
All change begins with accepting that power.
Now I think that I was a complete fool. I thought I was the special one who could control that power, but in the end I was bitten back by the power.
At that time, I had already been affected, but the influence was subtle and subtle.
Thinking back on what he had done during this period, whether right or wrong, Akagi had no intention of shirking responsibility. Although he was affected by the power, that power awakened the darkness deep in his heart.
"So... stupid... hehe..." Akagi's voice was unusually weak. She had to take a breath after saying a few words. Now she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.
"Sister Akagi..." Kaga, who was standing by, felt extremely sad when she saw Akagi looking so haggard and weak.
A cold hand held Akagi's hand.
"It will be fine, Sister Akagi... Lord Shinano will definitely heal you..." There were tears gleaming in Kaga's deep blue eyes, but she held them back.
"..." Akagi looked at Kaga and wanted to say something, but her weak body made her only breathe heavily. She wanted to raise her hand to touch Kaga's cheek, but she couldn't do it anymore.
"I'm sorry...Kaga...I've made you suffer over the past few years..." Akagi felt sorry for Kaga, and while she was madly chasing after Amagi, she forgot about Kaga behind her.
They are sisters too.
"It's nothing... Sister Akagi, don't say anything... Just have a good rest... Everything will be fine." Kaga was a different person in front of Akagi. She was no longer cold and awkward in expressing her feelings.
Looking at Kaga like this, Akagi felt even more guilty, but she no longer had time to compensate Kaga.
"Okay... Kaga... help me... find Jiang Cheng... Sir... I have something to tell him..."
Chi Cheng's feelings towards Jiang Cheng are even more complicated. Jiang Cheng helped her revive Tian Cheng, but then took Tian Cheng away from her...
She was both grateful and "angry" towards Jiang Cheng.
But when Chicheng thought about what he had done to Jiangcheng, he felt even more ashamed.
Kidnapping, coercion, verbal threats... Fortunately, nothing happened in Jiangcheng.
The scenes with Jiang Cheng emerged in my mind. He always seemed to be gentle, and was calm no matter what happened. Even in the face of my violent intimidation, I remained calm. I seemed like a child in front of him. This feeling was different from that in front of Sister Tiancheng.
.....
After a while, Jiang Cheng appeared in Akagi's room. Kaga closed the door, leaving only Jiang Cheng and Akagi in the room.
"Is Miss Akagi feeling better?" Jiang Cheng looked at the weak Akagi. She looked more elegant and calm, unlike her previous demeanor. Perhaps this was Akagi's original appearance.
"Thank you Lord Jiangcheng for your concern... Akagi knows her own body well." Akagi no longer has any hope for herself. She knows that even if she can get rid of the cursed power, she still won't have much time left.
"Shinanova will find a way. There is still hope, right?" Jiang Cheng tried to comfort Akagi. Even though their relationship was not very friendly, he didn't want Akagi to leave like this.
"Let's put those things aside for now... The reason I called Lord Jiangcheng is that I wanted to apologize to Lord Jiangcheng... Chicheng was rude before and caused trouble for Lord Jiangcheng..." Chicheng's tone was unusually sincere. She apologized for the trouble she had caused to Jiangcheng, but it seemed a little late for Jiangcheng.
Of course Jiang Cheng didn't care much about what Chi Cheng did. In his opinion, it was just the childish behavior of a child, and it was indeed the behavior of a child.
Of course, this does not mean that we should indulge children. They should be punished occasionally.
"Since the first time I met Lord Jiang Cheng, Chi Cheng had a strange feeling... an inexplicable feeling of 'hatred' and 'disgust'. Maybe he was afraid that Lord Jiang Cheng would take away something important from Chi Cheng... Now that I think about it, it's really unreasonable..."
"Later, when I met Lord Jiang Cheng again, I kidnapped him, thinking that Lord Jiang Cheng would surrender. It was so stupid..." Chicheng recalled the several times she met Jiang Cheng. At that time, she was so stupid that she couldn't be any stupider.
Perhaps she could have gotten the answer she wanted if she had communicated properly with Jiang Cheng, but she used the stupidest method.
"Is that so..." Jiang Cheng understood the cause and effect of the matter, so Chi Cheng just followed his feelings?
"Isn't it stupid..." Akagi's beautiful red lips opened slightly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her pale cheeks. This weak smile added a bit of sickly beauty to her.
"Later... I watched Lord Jiang Cheng drip his blood drop by drop on the Mind Cube. At that time, I thought Lord Jiang Cheng must be a good person... He was obviously an unrelated person, but he was willing to let himself get hurt. On the one hand, I was looking forward to more blood from Lord Jiang Cheng, and on the other hand, I thought Lord Jiang Cheng was stupid..."
"Is Akagi very heartless? Lord Jiangcheng is clearly helping me..." Akagi's voice became louder, and the light in her eyes became brighter. She seemed to have gained strength, and slowly sat up and leaned against the wall, and the fox ears on her hair also stood up.
"But after seeing Sister Tiancheng resurrected, Chicheng began to feel grateful to Lord Jiangcheng again, and thought about how to repay Lord Jiangcheng. As long as Sister Tiancheng was not needed, even if it meant sacrificing himself, it would not be a bad idea."
"But Sister Amagi still became Lord Jiangcheng's ship girl... Akagi was very jealous and angry... and wanted to take Sister Amagi back from Lord Jiangcheng." Akagi looked at Jiangcheng, and her fair hand unconsciously held Jiangcheng's hand.
This was undoubtedly warm for her at this moment.
"Lord Jiangcheng's hands are very warm. Sister Tiancheng must like them too..." The slender fingers gently touched Jiangcheng's palms. Jiangcheng did not stop him and let Chicheng caress him.
"Sister Amagi has always been the object of Akagi's pursuit. I want to be as perfect as her, I want to be her... Later I realized that I just wanted to see Sister Amagi again..."
"Now that I finally meet Sister Tiancheng, I have no regrets..."
"So please...please make sister Tiancheng happy! Lord Jiangcheng!"
.....
82. You are here...
How can I not feel regret...
How could she accept this? But it was too late.
"Sister Tiancheng and Lord Jiangcheng are a perfect match... Lord Jiangcheng will definitely bring happiness to Sister Tiancheng..." Akagi smiled, and it was a very miserable smile. Tears dripped from the corners of her eyes, leaving two tear marks on her pale cheeks.
"Sure enough, I'm still a little unwilling..."
"And as for the child Kaga... please trouble Lord Jiangcheng to take care of her... Although she looks difficult to approach, she is a gentle child at heart... I am so sorry for her." Akagi kept muttering as if she was making arrangements for her funeral. She couldn't tell these words to Tiancheng or Kaga, or she would collapse.
"There is still hope, Akagi, don't give up." Jiang Cheng gently held Akagi's wrist. Her wrist was very cold, and Jiang Cheng's warm hand couldn't warm her wrist. This time, Jiang Cheng's power no longer worked on Akagi.
"Yes... there is still hope..." Akagi nodded foolishly, but she knew that hope was not enough to create a miracle.
She held Jiang Cheng's hand with her backhand, interlocking their fingers tightly. It turned out that Jiang Cheng's hand was so warm, even warmer than Tian Cheng's...
Akagi's other hand gently reached towards his chest and took out a key.
"This is... Akagi's property. It is placed in the cupboard in Akagi's room... This is a little compensation to Lord Jiangcheng, please be sure to accept it." Akagi had nothing left to repay, so these worldly possessions were all he had.
Although it is not enough to express her apology, it is a little token of her appreciation.
Jiang Cheng did not refuse. He took the key with his other hand. Looking at the light flashing in Chicheng's red eyes, Jiang Cheng reached out and gently touched Chicheng's fox ears.
"Thank you..." Akagi slowly closed her eyes, her arms fell on the bed, and she fell asleep again, but there was a faint smile on her face.
Thank you... Lord Jiangcheng...
Jiang Cheng gently covered him with a quilt and turned off the lights in the room.
He walked out the door and closed it carefully.
Outside the door, the cold moonlight reflected on the fair face, and tears dripped from the chin, drop by drop onto the floor.
Kaga eavesdropped on the entire conversation between Akagi and Jiangcheng.
Her azure blue eyes looked at Jiang Cheng, with confusion and helplessness in them. She looked at Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng also looked at her.
Kaga didn't say anything, but reached out and held Jiang Cheng's hand, and she took Jiang Cheng further away.
The cold sea breeze blew up her short silver hair, and the tears on her face fell to the ground.
"Sister Akagi...she won't die, right...Lord Jiangcheng..." Kaga's tone to Jiangcheng has never been so humble. She looked at Jiangcheng, hoping to get the answer she wanted.
"..." Jiang Cheng couldn't give Kaga an accurate answer, he didn't want to deceive Kaga.
"Haha... no... right..." Kaga laughed, with a hint of despair in her laughter. Her plump body trembled uncontrollably. She raised her head not wanting the tears to flow too quickly, nor did she want Jiang Cheng to see her ugly side.
Why is this happening... Everything is apparently going in a good direction.
Akagi is very happy that he has a strong opponent after his resurrection.
Everyone was laughing during the day...why? ?
Is it because I am not strong enough...but what use is strong strength now?
Strong self-blame and guilt wrapped Kaga tightly, her heart was aching, so painful that she felt suffocated.
Kaga's eyes dimmed. Akagi understood, and she also understood...but she didn't want to understand.
"No." Jiang Cheng finally gave an answer. Kaga needed such an answer to survive. Even if it was a lie, she believed it.
"Really..." Tears blurred her vision. Kaga heard the answer she wanted to hear, and her eyes lit up again. Looking at Jiang Cheng's gentle face, her tears shed even more.
"Of course it's true, I never lie." Jiang Cheng gently supported Kaga's body to prevent her from falling.
"Really... hehe... Lord Jiang Cheng..." The next second, Kaga's legs fell heavily to his knees on the deck, and his pair of blue eyes looked at Jiang Cheng with a begging look.
"Please, Lord Jiang Cheng... save Sister Akagi... Kaga can agree to any price... as long as... as long as Sister Akagi can be saved..." Kaga saw the last glimmer of hope in Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng pulled Kaga up directly, and looking at Kaga's helpless expression, he stretched out his little finger.
"Then...it's a deal."
"We have a deal..." Kaga stretched out his trembling hand and hooked Jiang Cheng's fingers tightly with his cold little fingers.
Promised....
......
Tianyan Island, port.
The morning sun shines on Shinano's long silver-gray hair, making her furry fox ears even more lustrous.
