I don’t know how long I slept. The chaotic consciousness is like being placed in cold water. That should have been a terrible experience, but the blocked body can’t perceive all this, so the soul can only be at ease.

Maybe one day, maybe one month, at a certain moment of silence, Merlin's soul trapped in the darkness suddenly saw a ray of light.

A gentle call came in the light, like a warm hand, holding Merlin's helpless soul.

Then he drew him bit by bit, from the dark quagmire where the silence was gathered, and dragged him back to the warm world again.

"Uh"

He opened his eyes.

Light.

The light from the window hit him in the face, and Merlin's eyes closed again at the next moment.

The light of the setting sun was still too dazzling for him now.

It took him several minutes to get used to the light. His eyes were very dry, and under the stimulation of the light, he secreted fluid continuously, which made Merlin's vision blurred.

It's like the kind of uncomfortable ghosting that appeared when I was infested by the magic of darkness.

I can't see anything clearly.

Fortunately, darkness perception is still there.

Merlin closed his eyes, he was a little jerky, and diffused his dark perception, little by little, covering the ward covered by the rays of the setting sun.

This house is a little weird.

Its walls are made of metal, and there is basically no other decoration except for the living equipment inside, which is very simple and a little empty.

Merlin tried to spread the darkness perception farther, but perhaps because his body was too weak, he felt a burst of tears in his body when he increased the infusion of magic power.

This means that his body is currently unable to perform such actions.

Merlin could only give up the plan to explore around.

He didn't know how long he slept, but after a long coma, it was undoubtedly a very difficult behavior to regain control of his body.

Every muscle of his limbs is like an old gear lacking oil lubrication, and even moving fingers are very jerky. Merlin felt like he was manipulating a very old, problematic old computer. Every time he entered a command, he had to wait for several seconds before his body responded.

To make matters worse, there is a tube that helps him breathe deep into his nostrils, which makes him feel extremely uncomfortable now.

He had to find a way to get this thing out.

"It won't be difficult..."

While quickly adapting to her poor health, Merlin said to herself:

"Come on, it only takes a few minutes...you can do it."

It took him nearly 15 minutes to bend the fingers of his left hand.

It took another 5 minutes to curl up his arms.

After another five minutes passed, Merlin finally shivered and grabbed the tube inserted into the nostril.

After 3 minutes, he pulled the tube out of his body.

This simple action put Merlin under great pressure. He gasped and trembling his hands on the hospital bed, allowing him to sit up little by little. Until this time, Merlin found that there was a strange feeling between his legs.

He lifted the quilt and looked at it. Next moment, he made a desperate voice:

"Urinary catheter...Gosh."

Ten minutes later, Merlin pushed the infusion stand beside his bed, and moved himself little by little to the window of the ward.

Merlin's actions faltered like a drooping old man, but from his recovery to the present, he was quickly refitting to his body, which represented Merlin's body, except for some muscle atrophy and some weakness , Basically no big problem.

But this is just appearance.

At least Merlin knew that there was something in his blood vessels and body.

Gravity...

That thing was the culprit that caused him a long period of coma. I don't know if Dr. Hall had worked out a solution to his problem.

With this worry, Merlin opened the curtains, and the next moment, a deserted and lonely landscape appeared before him.

At dusk, Merlin’s shocking golden light shone on the Gobi and the mountains in front of Merlin in a splashing gesture, just like the earth was covered with the most gorgeous clothes. This is probably the most beautiful day in this place. It's time.

Merlin was a little thankful, and it seemed that he was the time to wake up.

And he also knew where he was now from the familiar hill in front of him.

"Paganoschi?"

Merlin lay on the window sill, he said softly:

"I really have a relationship with this place."

"boom"

Just when Merlin sighed, behind him, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Eric pushed the door in his hand and walked in. When he looked up, he saw Merlin who was standing by the window, bathed in the evening sunlight and smiling at him.

"Snapped"

The dinner in the hands of the young man fell to the ground, but thanks to the protection of the lunch box and the plastic bag, it did not fall to the ground.

"Hi, Eric. How are you recently?"

Merlin looked at the dull young man in front of him for a long time. This guy had matured a lot. He put on a pair of round-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose and also had a beard. He looked gentle and gentle, but it was the hair braided on his head. , Merlin was not satisfied.

This hair is called dirty braid, and it is a kind of cultural inheritance method for black people, but Merlin does not like such hair.

Facing Merlin's friendly greeting, Eric took several seconds to react. He raised his hand and waved to Merlin.

"Hello, Merlin, long time no see..."

"But since you can walk on your own, why not put on your pants?"

———————————————

Merlin is certainly not an exhibitionist, in fact, Eric's statement has some problems.

Merlin didn't wear pants. He just didn't find his clothes in this room. He only found a pair of boxers. His current physical condition did not allow him to wear too complicated clothes.

"You bastard, you are not allowed to tell the story, you know?"

Merlin was lying on the bed, holding a spoon hard, and sending a spoonful of fruit porridge into his mouth tremblingly, while talking to Eric who was smiling next to him:

"If you dare to talk everywhere, you will be dead!"

"I promise to say everywhere, I promise... Pooh, hahahaha!"

Eric tried hard to maintain a serious expression, but when he saw Merlin's trench coat, he thought of Merlin's image just now. He couldn't help it anymore, and he laughed while covering his stomach.

After a few seconds, under Merlin's expressionless expression, Eric hurriedly sat up straight, he coughed a few times and said to Merlin:

"Okay, I won't talk about your black history everywhere, rest assured."

"You can try it, but at your own risk."

Merlin drew his gaze, and the ordinary fruit porridge in his hand seemed to become delicious even when he did not eat water rice for a long time. He comforted his weak body with food, leaning against the bed and asked softly:

"What time is it now?"

"Uh."

Eric took out his phone and looked at it, and said to Merlin:

"6 o'clock in the afternoon."

"No, what day and month?"

Merlin looked at Eric:

"I mean, how long have I been unconscious?"

Merlin's question made Eric a little silent. He flipped the screen of the phone and put it in front of Merlin's eyes. He said:

"It's June 19, 2000. You have been in a coma for 9 months."

"9 months..."

Merlin closed his eyes, and at this moment, he lost interest in eating.

Eric didn't know how to comfort Merlin. His life was so long. He lost 9 months at once, which felt bad. And before Eric was allowed to enter the base to take care of Merlin, he also learned from Merlin's colleagues the whole process of Merlin's injury.

This clever kid probably guessed the reason for Merlin's silence.

"Afghanistan..."

After a few minutes, Merlin asked in a dreamlike voice:

"War... started?"

"No, no."

Eric's expression changed a bit, he said:

"Two months after you were sent back, the civil war in Afghanistan was over, and now an armed group called "base" has the power of that country."

"No?"

Merlin pulled a dull smile on his face, he said:

"The war has begun, Eric, it’s just that you don’t know... that pair of black hands won’t be stopped as easily, he has planned everything, all he has to do is to advance the plan, waiting for this general meeting The country surrounded by public opinion stepped into the quagmire, just like the original Vietnam War, he had found the country's deadliest weakness."

He clenched his fists, and under the influence of the emotions surging in his heart, the click sound came from his fingers.

Merlin said in a voice that gritted his teeth:

"They were deceived. Those people, that organization, would not be so calm. This time it was just a preview. The next time is the real war. Soon, the real attack will come."

"It's none of your business, Merlin."

Eric saw Merlin's breathing increase, and he quickly comforted:

"We all know that you have saved more than 100 people in Afghanistan. You are a real hero. But this is not something that can be solved by one person, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"You have tried your best and even almost lost your life. This is not your fault."

"For my job, just trying my best... is not enough."

Merlin leaned against the bed, he whispered:

"I had the opportunity to stop all this, and the soldiers should have continued their tasks well. If I entered the canyon for the first time, I did not choose to wait and watch, but acted immediately... this Nothing will happen, those soldiers will not die."

"I chose the wrong one."

Merlin closed his eyes and said:

"And the price is those lost lives."

"You are attributing other people's mistakes to yourself."

Eric pushed his eyes and said to Merlin:

"You can only do your best to delay the footsteps of the war, Merlin! You are not a god. You can't prevent millions of people from hating each other. You can't put all this on you. That's not your responsibility."

Facing Eric's persuasion, Merlin did not immediately answer.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Merlin sighed. He whispered as if chanting poetry:

"Everyone has their own role, some are responsible for having a good family, while others are responsible for protecting them."

"It's my duty, my task. I have the ability to do that, and I don't do that. After things happen, I can't persuade myself to stand by and watch. I make a decision, and then I should take responsibility... the world of adults, That's how it works."

"It's not a question of whether it can be done, Eric... you tried to tell me that all this is bound to happen, and when something goes wrong, I can tell myself, that's not my fault... but unfortunately, I can't do it, kid."

Merlin opened his eyes, he looked at the metal ceiling, he said:

"I should kill the members of the Ten Rings when I saw them, instead of leaving them to the soldiers. I was too stupid to see through Mandalin's sinister intentions, I missed the best opportunity ."

"I am committed to accomplishing the task, but in the end I have failed my responsibility."

"So?"

Eric stood up angrily, looking at Merlin, he said:

"You decided to stay here with self-satisfaction and tell me you are a loser? No! You are not a loser, Merlin, 99% of people in the world can't do the feats you do. Stop complaining about yourself. !"

"What do they have to do with me?"

Merlin looked directly at the empty ground in front of him, he said:

"I just wanted to say that I made a stupid mistake, and I have learned the lesson. If there is the next time, then I will not hesitate again."

Eric saw Merlin's decisive expression, and he didn't know what to say.

"Go help me call the chief of the base!"

Merlin waved at Eric, who was standing still, and he picked up his own fruit porridge again, then said without looking up:

"We should leave here."

"Are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Eric walked to the door and asked:

"Is it uncomfortable to stay here? Would you like to change rooms? I see a lot of vacancies here."

"Do not."

Merlin looked up and smiled at Eric. He said:

"Everything is fine here, but...it's not home."

"I'm just..."

"want to go back home."
