Rarity: SSS [Interstellar]

Ji Xifeng, who was about to undergo surgery, sat in front of the hospital bed, lowered his head slightly, and waited for the nurse to shave his hair off.Yan Yuanzhou handed the writing board in front of him, on which was written: "Are you ready?"

He took the clipboard and replied on it: "Always be ready."

This sentence is a common answering phrase used by the soldiers of the alliance, but it is usually only used in meetings and military parades. Now it is moved by Ji Xifeng to answer Yan Yuanzhou.

When Yan Yuanzhou saw this sentence on the writing board, he also smiled, tried to touch Ji Xifeng's hair, stroked his soft hair, and wrote on the writing board: "Then I will prepare your hair first." surgery."

After finishing writing, he handed the writing board to Ji Xifeng, and was about to turn around and leave, but Ji Xifeng grabbed his arm: "Are you here for the operation?"

"That's right," Yan Yuanzhou squatted down and looked at him, "I'm the chief surgeon, Old Jane is the anesthetist, and the AI ​​is just an auxiliary role. The brain surgery is very delicate, and I'm worried about handing it over to the AI. Do you believe me? Can it be done well?"

"No." Ji Xifeng shook his head, "I believe in you."

"Okay." Yan Yuanzhou put his hand on Ji Xifeng's hair again, and the little nurse beside him almost rolled his eyes.

"Group leader Yan, you cared a little too much before the operation. Why do you keep putting your hands on the patient's head?" The little nurse laughed at him with sharp teeth, waving the scissors in her hand, "How about I put your hands on the patient's head?" Can you cut it with your hands?"

Yan Yuanzhou left Ji Xifeng's hair with one hand, and begged for mercy: "Okay, I won't bother you, don't bother me anymore. ——You can act more safely, the chief can say it, this is the face of our alliance army."

"I'm holding it steady." The little nurse sent Yan Yuanzhou away, turned around and came back to continue waving the scissors, "Major Ji, this is the first time I've seen our team leader talk so much to the patient before the operation."

Ji Xifeng lowered his head and didn't respond. The little nurse paused and patted her head suddenly: "Hi, I forgot you can't hear me."

Then he stopped talking, and there was only the sound of scissors waving and hair falling to the ground in the ward.The little nurse seemed to be a skilled hand at this job, so she cut off all the hair on Ji Xifeng's head.

"It's done, let's take a look." The little nurse handed Ji Xifeng a mirror, and sighed with emotion, "This man is good-looking to take advantage of, and he looks so good-looking even with his hair shaved."

Looking at his strange self in the mirror, Ji Xifeng couldn't help but patted his head.The cyan hair stubble is hidden under the scalp, matching his round head, Ji Xifeng thought of a funny description, like a round egg on his head.

"Major Ji, you are ready to enter the operating room." The nurse pointed to the time, led him into the sterile room, and handed him a set of anti-bacterial suits, "I wish you good luck."

Ji Xifeng lay on the bed, looking at the dazzling light above the operating room, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"Don't be afraid." Yan Yuanzhou stood on the edge of the operating table and put on his gloves. Ji Xifeng saw a comforting smile through his eyes, "—Old Jane, anesthetized."

Ji Xifeng tilted his head, saw a man also wearing a sterile suit standing aside, holding a shot of medicine in his hand, and asked, "Will anesthesia affect it?"

"No." Yan Yuanzhou leaned down and leaned in front of him and replied, "The anesthetic I brought from my senior brother can minimize the impact of anesthesia on the human body. You close your eyes and wait until you wake up again." I can hear voices."

After speaking, he put on the mask, glanced at Old Jane, and nodded: "Let's give medicine."

Ji Xifeng looked at the dazzling light above his head, but within a minute he felt blurred, his eyes went dark, and then he couldn't see anymore.

Standing in front of the operating table, Yan Yuanzhou leaned over to lift Ji Xifeng's eyelids and looked at his pupils: "The anesthesia has taken effect, let's start."

AI placed the surgical instruments in front of him, and Yan Yuanzhou picked up the scalpel and stretched out his other hand to touch Ji Xifeng's scalp.

Old Jane watched from the side, and couldn't help asking the question in her heart: "Leader, is the brain transplant going to be done now?"

"No."

"Then why do you need a craniotomy? If it's just to implant external devices, there is no need for such a major operation."

Yan Yuanzhou carefully held the scalpel: "Not only implanting external devices, but also cutting off the connection between the auditory nerve and the brain, and the structure of his brain is very different from that of ordinary people. Only external implants are prone to surgical failure and hearing recovery. It will be slow."

"Have you explained this to Major Ji?"

"No." Yan Yuanzhou's knife was already covered with blood, "It's the same whether you say it or not."

"Patients have the right to know."

Yan Yuanzhou breathed out carefully: "I can't say. If I say so, Xifeng will directly choose to perform a brain transplant. The probability of success of that operation is not high. The most important thing is," AI stretched out his mechanical arm to wipe him Wiping off his sweat, "I can't do that surgery, and no one in the league can do it."

"Your brothers may be able to."

"No." He shook his head, "I can't accept Ji Xifeng's life in other people's hands."

Yan Yuanzhou touched the equipment sent by AI, took a deep breath: "Old Jane, prepare to monitor the mental frequency, the most important part has begun."

Outside the operating room, Xiaoshu stood beside the sleeping fat tiger, stretched out his hand and gently touched the fat tiger's skin, the leaves drooped on the fat tiger's body, and thought to himself: "Fat tiger, fat tiger, you must wake up. "

Ji Xifeng, who was sleeping, felt his consciousness gradually sinking into a layer of water. Under the water was the boundless sky, and under the sky was the wilderness surrounded by wind and snow.

"This is my spiritual world."

Ji Xifeng glanced around the wasteland, and there was a mountain in the center, which was so high that even Ji Xifeng couldn't figure out where the end of the mountain was.

"I'm going there."

Not knowing where the idea came from, Ji Xifeng tightened his clothes and walked down the mountain step by step.

Wangshan ran to death, the sun and the moon changed several times, and Ji Xifeng couldn't figure out how long he had walked. He only knew that the mountain was too far away, but he must climb to the top of the mountain.

Slowly the wind and frost subsided, Ji Xifeng raised his head and looked at the rocks in front of him, he knew that he had finally reached the foot of the mountain.

In the spiritual world, all the training he has received is in vain, and even mountain climbing must be done step by step along the steep mountain road.

Tired, Ji Xifeng thought.

In the spiritual world, his body does not feel tired, but his spirit tells him that he is tired and needs to stay and rest.Reason urged him to climb up quickly, and he must not stop.

Once you stop, you will be frozen to death on the road.

In the operating room, the monitoring instruments kept making sharp noises, and Lao Jian quickly reported Ji Xifeng's physical condition: "High pressure 80, low pressure 50, team leader, the patient's condition is not good."

Yan Yuanzhou glanced at the numbers on the instrument, Ji Xifeng's heart rate quickly dropped back to 120 after rising above 50, and it was still dropping slowly.

"Leader, if this continues, Major Ji's body will not be able to hold on before the operation is completed."

"Stimulant needle." Yan Yuanzhou replied calmly, touched the scalpel in hand, and said in a low voice, "It will be ready soon, Xifeng, please persevere."

Ji Xifeng looked up at the still raging wind and snow, reached out to touch a stone above his head, and pushed his upper body onto a platform above, panting violently.

He didn't know why he was so tired, he just walked in vain, feeling the stones around him and slowly moving up step by step.

One more step, one more step.

"The cardiotonic injection worked, and the patient's blood pressure rose steadily."

"Give me another injection in half an hour." AI wiped the sweat off Yan Yuanzhou's forehead. He took a deep breath, and instead of picking up the external hearing aid device that should have been implanted, he touched the scalpel again.

Old Jane looked at the operation process, and then at Yan Yuanzhou who was serious at this time: "Team leader, what are you going to do?"

"There is a blood clot in Xifeng's brain, which is likely to compress the nerve. It is easy to cause secondary injury during the implantation operation." Yan Yuanzhou followed the guidance of the instrument to find the blood clot, "Get ready to remove it."

Yan Yuanzhou lowered his head, gently pressed his lips on Ji Xifeng's, and begged in a low voice: "Xifeng, please, please support me, I love you."

Ji Xifeng was already very tired, and tired.He gathered his clothes together and leaned against the stone, panting.He really wanted to stop now and just stay here.

There is no wind and snow blowing by hiding behind the rocks, let alone risking your life to climb the rest of the mountain road.

It's better to stop.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help tilting his head on the stone, his eyes were a little loose, and a dark and sweet dream was calling him.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he saw a small flower emerge from a crevice in the stone.It's more like grass than flowers. The flowers and leaves are shaking with the cold wind, but they never fall.Surrounded by a patch of soggy soil, the flower brought its surroundings out of winter and into spring.

Ji Xifeng stretched out his hand to stroke the flower, then picked it off and pinned it to his shirt.Holding himself up with both hands, he slowly stood up and took a step forward.

I don't know if it was the flower that gave him strength, or he gave himself a hint, Ji Xifeng felt that the fatigue all over his body was dispelled, so he mustered up the courage to take another step.

In the crevices of the stones, the grass that had lost its flowers sprouted another small flower. This flower gradually stretched its body, walked around the crevices of the stones, and lay on the stones to watch Ji Xifeng's back as he went away.

Ji Xifeng took the flower that bloomed in the crevices of the rocks and stepped up to the top of the mountain step by step.Below the peak is a vast expanse of snow, and above the peak is Ji Xifeng and the towering sky that seems to be within reach.

The sun poured down from the sky, dispelling the snow that had fallen on Ji Xifeng's body. He stretched out his hand, and a ray of sunlight jumped over his hand and landed on the ground.Ji Xifeng looked back at Yuxi to see the mountain road when he came, the snow was slowly melting and the wind stopped.

Then there is only a moment, and it seems like an eternal silence.

Suddenly the wind whizzed past Ji Xifeng's face, a bird's cry came from the valley, and the clouds fell into the valley, dyeing the whole valley a light green.This color seemed to jump out of Ji Xifeng's hands, and spread slowly, passing through valleys and rivers, along the melted mountains and rivers until it covered the whole world.

It seemed as if a voice came from above the dome: "West wind, west wind..."
