——Unknown time and unknown place—

"The heart rate is faster, the electroencephalopathy index is rising, and the patient's resuscitation is detected. Block the patient's actions. You go and notify the person in charge..." In the hazy vision, Vader vaguely heard a voice from someone coming from her ear. She twisted her body to try to relieve the numbness caused by the resuscitation of her limbs, and found that something trapped her hands and feet.

"Forty-five ml of Shenmai and Shenfu injection each, add 5% glucose intravenous drip... The patient is restless, switch the drop bottle, add four ml of propofol every ten seconds until the agitation stops, hurry up!" His movements made the figure in front of him busy. The injection of the medicine into the body made the arm feel the pain that seemed to have been missing for a long time, and the mood and physical condition gradually became stable.

After a few minutes, Vader's vision began to return to clear light, and in front of him was a woman he knew but didn't want to see very much.

"Awaken? Can you hear me clearly?" Pandora, the woman who betrayed the squad during the mission, asked Vader.

"Ah...ah?" Vader opened his mouth and wanted to speak, only making a few strange syllables.

"Doctor, can she restore her language skills?" Pandora asked the doctor behind her who was paying attention to the medical monitor.

"The side effects of propofol will subside by itself in a few minutes. The vocal cords may still need to adapt to it, and the tone will be a little strange, but the language ability is fine," the doctor explained.

"I understand." Pandora nodded, "Doctor, do you have anything else to deal with here?"

"No more, her recovery is good, which may be because of the better physical condition."

"Then please avoid it first. I have something important to talk about with her."

"Okay." The doctor nodded and left, and the nurse and assistant also left, leaving the two people sitting silently in the ward.

"There are many questions to ask, aren't it?" After waiting for a while, Pandora felt that Vader's vocal cords seemed to have recovered from the anesthetic, so she spoke to break the silence.

"Well, well... Li Jingyun should have completed the task. It seems that after the matter is completed, he will be plotted by you or the forces behind you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lie here, and I will see your face when I open my eyes." Although Vader's idea was very clear, and maintaining a clear idea in any physical state is a necessary quality for an excellent killer.

"The analysis is good, but you imagine us too evil and powerful. Li Jingyun's situation was his voluntary sacrifice, and we just pointed out a way out for him." Pandora didn't care about Vader's words at all. It would be strange if they had done so many things that were sorry for others.

"If I were still there at that time, I would never let you succeed." Vader's expression was regretful.

"You were not there at the scene, and you can say whatever you want." Pandora shrugged, "Unlike your stupid friends, you are a smart person, you should know what your identity is now, right?"

"Prisoner or hostage?"

"prisoner."

"Are you all arrested..." Vader sighed, "How are they in their condition? Where is Maria Eisenfeld, who is acting with you?"

"Maria wanted to kill me in a rage, but she exploded with the airdrop boat. The other three were worse than you in some cases."

"Oh? What is a situation?"

"People in spirit, have you tried the feeling of being penetrated by someone else's soul? I suddenly felt cold all over and felt like someone was watching behind me."

"I have had experience and don't want to try it a second time."

"It's not a very comfortable feeling, right?" Pandora smiled. "Your three friends took a bath in the souls of everyone on the entire earth. The strong external electromagnetic field affected their minds. It can be said that they are not the people you know at all."

"How bad is it?" Vader frowned.

"Because there is no precedent, we can't figure out the principle, but the mental conditions of the three are unstable - Li Jingyun's life memories were completely eliminated, and the test results showed that he only retained some common sense in the long-term memory area, and there was no hope of returning other memories; Xiao Mengyu had a psychological age, and putting aside the lost memories, her style of behavior was finally commensurate with her physiological age; Emperor Yue Yong had a serious memory disorder, and it seemed that her spirit was not as tough as the other two people, so some things from other souls were mixed in the memory. Fortunately, because the three of them were very close when they suffered mental shock, they maintained a...well, very subtle connection between each other."

"So thanks to your friends, I suffer from amnesia, psychological degeneration and nerve division?" Vader's brows were almost twisted together, his bound hands were clenched tightly, and his blood vessels thrust constantly in the syringe.

"Putting aside objective conditions, yes." Pandora nodded shamelessly to admit.

"I am just a lower-level person with no combat power. I don't want to be 'valued' like him'. You can throw me in that church and wait for death. I can't guess why you value Li Jingyun so much. Of course, it's useless for me to ask, but I guess you must have something to do with him. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"The ability is not important, the brain is important." Pandora pointed his temple with her finger, "Not many of the old men on the board are capable people."

"Answer my question positively." Vader doesn't like this. She has seen many people similar to what Pandora said, half of whom were employers and the other half died under her knife.

"What an impatient guy." Pandora shook her head, "We hope you protect and monitor the actions of these three people, put the three trauma patients in an increasingly chaotic world. I guarantee they will not survive for a month."

"Released? After so many situations, I thought you would keep Li Jingyun's value from being drained."

"I think, but unfortunately the situation does not allow it." Pandora still had the innocent expression of no guilt. "I said that the mental state of the three people is unstable now, and the three of them have an inexplicable spiritual connection. If one of them deteriorates, they will immediately implicate others. It can be said that their mind is like a hair hanging on a heavy burden and it will break if it touches it casually. Life imprisonment can cause serious mental stress. Even ordinary people find it difficult to maintain mental stability for a long time, let alone patients. What we need is a Li Jingyun who can use his abilities healthily, not a ability bomb that can run wild at any time due to mental instability."

"So you asked me to be this protector? Humph, I really respect me. After all, I'm just changing from one prison to another with better conditions. I don't want to be the warden of my own friend."

Vader sneered.

"It's not that I respect you, it's that you look down on yourself too highly." Pandora shook her head again, "The warden's candidate is me, you can be a prisoner at most, and you are not the only protector. The entire Black Knights will protect these three people. You are just a sedative to maintain their mental stability."

"The Black Knights... I remember it should be the group of abilities under the Grand Duke, right? Those who dare to use their abilities are not afraid of the federal government causing trouble for you? I have had the experience of being controlled by abilities. I can guess how deeply hostile the human society will be to abilities in the current human society."

"Haha, federal government?" Pandora suddenly burst into laughter, "I really didn't expect that the old federal government had collapsed during your coma. Now the Black Knights are the heroes who save all mankind from destruction. Your Highness is the federal government!"

"You... are shameless!" After a long time of silence, Vader held up this extremely angry scolding from his teeth.

"Yes, we have robbed your honor, so what? No one will believe you, and the identity of the abilities will only put you in trouble. Now you are tools waiting to be used, and in order to better protect His Highness the Grand Duke, you will give you limited freedom. Recognize the reality, and then enjoy this false peace before it is torn apart. Everything will be over soon." Pandora stood up, her condescending eyes as if she was looking at an ant struggling in her palm.

"I accept your proposal, but there is a saying in the religion I believe in. Please remember: Everyone needs to pay it back. No matter what he does to try to fight fate, it will pay it back to the day of the judgment." Vader stared at the condescending eyes without any concession and fought back firmly.

"I'm ready to pay off everything I've done at any time, and you don't need your reminder." Pandora didn't care about Vader's warning. She untied Vader's shackles and threw an electronic document on the bed sheet.

"What is this?" Vader asked, rubbing his numb wrist.

"Now the information summary of the outside society, the medical records of your three friends, the future fake identities, and the site and settlement fees arranged by His Highness the Grand Duke. In short, everything else you need to know is on this. I am very busy and don't spend much time explaining it one by one. Be prepared to face the world again, use the communicator at the head of the bed to contact me, and I will release your friends from the cryogenic cabin."

"I understand." Vader didn't say much, opened the electronic file and started reading.

"By the way, I'll remind you one thing. We already know the secret of the so-called 'mirror personality', including its ability to maintain the memory of the body and oversteal the body. If you see it appear, I suggest that you do not let it do anything out of line or try to restore Li Jingyun's memory. This is for Li Jingyun's sake." When we walked to the door, Pandora killed a shot back,

"…!" Vader's body was slightly shocked when she heard this, but she didn't say anything but looked down and continued to look at the files, allowing the wards to close behind Pandora.

ps: I suddenly felt that the special document could not be written, so I wrote the regular chapter first...
