The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 525 - 443: Thank You, Kaelis

There were people asking if he was okay, messages from teachers and classmates at school, and even from True Man Kong Guofeng and True Man Tianmu of the Eleventh Army, congratulating him on advancing to the finals and offering encouragement — although the two cities were far apart, since Lin Guang chose to send messages to them, they naturally had early access to the expensive interstate Ether data.

Of course, besides congratulations, more were concerned about the status of his body after the battle, with worry evident between the lines.

Lin Guang’s swiping finger paused slightly.

It was a message from Miaomiao.

[Good luck, I’m waiting for you to come back.]

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Guang just gently replied with a "Hmm".

He patiently replied to everyone’s messages.

For those who congratulated him, he simply replied with thanks.

For those concerned about his health, he lightly explained that his state was good and there was no major problem, telling them not to worry.

Just as Lin Guang finished replying to the last message.

Dr. Kaiwen had already prepared the coffin-like Meditation Pod, and all types of auxiliary Spiritual Liquids and arrays were debugged and ready.

Lin Guang stood up from the bed.

"..."

Kaiwen looked at Chelina, Vishdair, and Lisa, and softly said, "You all... better wait outside."

"Being too close might not be good for your bodies either."

"..."

Vishdair furrowed his brows.

Lisa and Chelina also showed an unwilling expression.

But seeing Lin Guang’s eyes at this moment, they couldn’t say anything more.

Finally, the silver-haired girl came to Lin Guang’s side, her amber cross-starred eyes gazing into his.

"I’ll just say one last thing."

"Make sure to come out lively, you hear?"

Lin Guang’s dark golden eyes looked at her, revealing a smile, and softly spoke.

"I will win."

At this moment, Chelina, Vishdair, and Lisa’s eyes all moved slightly, seemingly relieved.

Because in their memories, every time after uttering these words in the past.

Lin Guang indeed had never failed.

Not once.

......

As they left the room, Lin Guang also walked to stand next to the Meditation Pod, shoulder to shoulder with Kaiwen.

"Are you really confident?"

She softly said, "Decompiling the information contained in the Source Stone to restore it into matter, even life, is just the first step."

"The Source Stone itself is just a tool, a carrier."

"The real test and enemy is the Will within."

In extreme terms, if the Source Stone assimilated the body, in essence, one could rely on cloning a new body and replacing the brain to resolve it.

But the harm of the Ore Disease, for Lin Guang, lies in the pollution of information, soul, and Will.

That’s why Kaiwen didn’t try to clone a new body for Lin Guang.

Even if the body is still flesh, as long as the Will and the Sea of Spirit cannot hold, it will instantly turn into a Source Stone.

This is the most fundamental desperate situation.

However, at this moment, Lin Guang suddenly turned around, using his dark golden pupils to look at Kaiwen.

"Teacher."

Kaiwen did not remain silent.

This time, she looked at Lin Guang, and earnestly responded in a soft voice, "I am here."

The youth’s eyes focused on her emerald green eyes.

"I already have a method... but I can’t say for sure about its success rate either."

Lin Guang did not explain what his method was, just looked at the extremely beautiful woman in front of him, smiled, and softly spoke.

"So, the next question might be the last one I can ask you in my lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Kaiwen’s body almost uncontrollably froze in place.

"Teacher."

"Why have you been so unreservedly good to me from the very beginning?"

This was not a strong or accusative question, yet it pointed without disguise to Kaiwen’s consistent mysteriousness.

Her nature would not allow her to pour her feelings and resources into an unfamiliar person without reason.

Is there an ulterior motive? Or was it premeditated?

With this question.

Kaiwen slowly closed her eyes.

She remained silent for so long that Lin Guang thought she wouldn’t answer.

Then, she opened her eyes.

Her normally calm and cold emerald green eyes, like calcite refracting different polarizing lights within the crystal... displayed countless complex emotions.

There was relief, compassion, expectation, and also something Lin Guang couldn’t fully understand, but could perceive as deep as the sea, full of indescribably profound emotions.

Finally, she reached out, lightly tidying Lin Guang’s collar slightly disheveled from battle, her voice gentle as if coming from afar:

"In the past, there was a very foolish person."

"When she arrived on that distant land called Terra, her creator gave her a command."

"Seek traces of life on this land, to seek hope and future."

"Later, she lived for a long, long time with this command, but never managed to accomplish anything."

"She wanted to save that land, that world, yet laughably, she fell silently on the road.

"Fortunately, it wasn’t the end for her; she arrived in a place very far away."

"The end seemed to have moved away from her, but that wasn’t what she wanted."

"Because... she couldn’t save her own world."

"Perhaps that world has been destroyed, or perhaps it hasn’t, but it is now out of reach."

"She chased desperately, seemed to grasp a light, but that light eventually vanished from her palm due to her own reasons."
