Chapter 555 Intense Pain

Now, the entire space inside the instrument is filled with an orange-red liquid, making it difficult to see clearly, and everything in sight seems to be covered by an orange-red filter.

Even so, the system could still clearly see wisps of blood drifting from Lin Xiyue's lips and hands, rising slowly in the solution like wisps of smoke.

[Host, you must hold on!]

The system looked at Lin Xiyue anxiously. Although it couldn't directly help Lin Xiyue, it kept cheering her on in its heart.

Lin Xiyue was in extreme pain at this moment. Her body was trembling uncontrollably due to the excruciating pain, and every muscle felt as if it were being torn apart.

She clenched her teeth, and large beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead, mixing with the surrounding orange-red solution.

Just when Lin Xiyue felt she was about to give up, suddenly, a slender and fair hand reached out from under her and swiftly wrapped around her waist.

"!!!"

Lin Xiyue was completely unprepared for this to happen. She was so frightened that she trembled all over and involuntarily spat out a series of bubbles.

[Don't be afraid, it's Boss Mo.]

The system's voice rang in Lin Xiyue's mind, promptly calming her fear.

Sure enough, as the system spoke, another hand belonging to Meros reached out and gently patted Lin Xiyue's arm, as if to tell her not to be afraid.

The touch of that hand felt unusually warm, gradually relaxing Lin Xiyue's tense nerves.

"call--"

Lin Xiyue let out a long breath, as if a large part of the pain in her body had been released with that breath.

Her body, like a deflated balloon, leaned limply against Meros's back, regaining a sense of relaxation.

However, after she regained some strength, she was surprised to find that the pain in her body had lessened considerably.

The feeling is like suddenly going from a difficult childbirth to the pain of a broken bone.

Although it still hurts, the pain level has clearly decreased by one level compared to the almost unbearable agony before.

Lin Xiyue knew in her heart that this must be thanks to Meros.

The moment he touched her, it seemed as if a magical force was transmitted to her, helping to share some of the pain, which is why she felt such obvious relief.

After recovering a little, Lin Xiyue still felt weak all over, as if all the bones in her body had been removed.

Despite her physical discomfort, she managed to turn over with difficulty, like a salted fish, with the help of Meros, finally allowing herself to face Meros.

When her eyes met Melos's, she saw a faint smile on his face.

However, Lin Xiyue found that smile somewhat frightening in the warm solution, even sending a chill down her spine.

She knew very well that Meros's smile was not one of happiness, but rather a hidden anger beneath the surface.

Although his expression seemed gentle, Lin Xiyue could sense his dissatisfaction and anger towards her.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue's heart tightened.

“(*￣︶￣)”

But she quickly adjusted her expression, slightly raising the corners of her mouth to reveal a seemingly natural smile, hoping to use this to cover up her inner unease and panic, and successfully play dumb to get through the situation.

Don't try to fool me. Why did you come in? Didn't the system tell you this solution was specially prepared for you?

However, just as she was secretly relieved, Meros's voice suddenly rang in her mind, like a thunderclap piercing the night sky.

This sudden question caught Lin Xiyue off guard. Her body trembled violently, and her already large eyes widened instantly, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Moreover, due to extreme fright, she choked violently in the solution, which was unlikely to enter the body on its own. A violent cough echoed in the solution, and a series of bubbles suddenly surged out.

Just now, Lin Xiyue was secretly rejoicing, feeling that her luck had been pretty good this time.

Now, both she and Meros are submerged in the solution, and neither of them can speak, which prevents her from being directly scolded.

She originally thought that as long as she could get through this period and wait for Meros's anger to subside a bit, even if he got angry again later, he probably wouldn't be too harsh on her.

After all, time heals all wounds, and with this period of buffer, his anger will certainly not burn as fiercely as it does now.

That was what Lin Xiyue originally thought, but in the next second, she suddenly heard Moros's voice.

The sudden sound, coupled with her extreme guilt at that moment, caused her to choke instantly.

However, this was already considered a relatively mild reaction, considering that it was quite remarkable that she was able to remain calm under such circumstances.

The words that Meros spoke were transmitted through the channel that the system had previously established.

Because this channel was used so infrequently, Lin Xiyue and the system had completely forgotten about its existence.

If Meros hadn't spoken in the channel at that moment, the two of them probably wouldn't have remembered that such a channel existed until the matter was over.

[Now you know you regret it? And you, why did you let her in?]

There was a hint of reproach in Meros's tone.

He first gently patted Lin Xiyue's back to help her relieve the discomfort after choking, and then spoke on that channel.

It was noticeable that although he was still quite stern when speaking to Lin Xiyue, it was much gentler than what he said to the system in the latter half of his statement.

Hearing Meros's stern voice, the system felt extremely wronged. It felt so innocent, because it was clearly the host who told it to do this, but now it was being scolded by Meros. It had no way to express its bitterness.

[Um... Boss Mo, you know I really can't resist the host. QAQ]

So it could only pitifully explain to Meros in a low voice over the channel.

Yes, I asked. I saw you in so much pain inside, and I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to come in and keep you company.

Seeing that the system was being scolded so badly by Moros, Lin Xiyue couldn't bear it, so she quickly spoke up in the channel to explain.

【you……】

When Molos heard Lin Xiyue's words, he was suddenly stunned. He did not expect Lin Xiyue to say such a thing and did not know how to respond to her for a moment.

……
