Chapter 565 Thin
After the meal, Pantene gestured to Yue Ji to weigh himself.
The reason for making such a suggestion is that Yue Ji has lost a lot of weight.
Facing Pan Ting's request, Yue Ji did not show much. He just nodded slightly, and then spoke in a calm tone.
"I was probably around 140 pounds before, but considering the losses in normal combat..."
At this point, Yue Ji paused for a moment, as if remembering the intense battle scenes and the injuries he had suffered, "Maybe the actual weight will decrease."
After saying that, Yue Ji slowly stood up and walked towards the scale placed in the corner of the room. The moment he stepped onto the scale, the pointer started to move quickly and finally stopped at a number that made him speechless - 98 catties.
When Yue Ji saw this number, he was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the number displayed on the scale and didn't speak for a long time.
Now his whole body was wrapped in thick bandages. He had just had a big meal, and even so, he only weighed 98 kilograms.
This weight is even lighter than the petite Pantene.
The price of eating flesh and bones is not just this. During that year in the distorted time and space, he may have weighed only 70 kilograms at first... This was the flesh and blood that took countless time to grow back.
Pantene had a lot to say, but after seeing Yue Ji's hair, she still asked in confusion.
"Yue Ji, your hair doesn't seem to have changed at all. If you really have the kryptonian life, your hair should turn white, right?"
In response, Yue Ji just explained with a wry smile.
Perhaps, the hair did not change or turn white because the body's distribution and growth power had reached its limit. It was not even possible to turn the hair white. Just restoring the flesh and blood consumed all the strength.
This is also why Yue Ji’s hair no longer grows longer, but only falls out from time to time.
After returning to the dining table, Pantene asked Yue Ji to get the pink kettle. She had allocated personal items for Yi Xilin, Ma Xiayi, and Yue Ji to use, but in the end Yue Ji only brought the green one.
This made Pan Ting a little puzzled, but Yue Ji's continued silence made her understand something.
Yue Ji's sequel was a lie from beginning to end.
So he knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth.
"Honestly, my whole body aches like hell."
"You are really holding on."
"It hurts so much that I can't sleep..."
"You can't tell the difference between the colors, and you can't taste the flavors anymore..."
It must be said that Pantene is a very considerate girl. After these words were spoken, Yue Ji fell into silence for a while. He put down the black kettle he was using tremblingly, and then added.
"Yes, and my fingertips are trembling from exhaustion, and it hurts like hell... In some places, I don't even know whether it is bright or dark. You may not understand, but I am now maintaining my actions with the same energy as transforming into Ultraman.
If I don’t use the energy of the Evolution Truster, I probably won’t be able to move, so… this is the sequelae of that form.”
"If you keep fighting with that kind of power, will you lose everything?"
Yue Ji did not answer Pan Ting's question, but he had a premonition that if this continued, Yue Ji might not be able to feel anything.
He may lose a lot of things, such as light and darkness, sound, perception and warmth.
Looking at Yue Ji's trembling left hand, Pan Ting could only helplessly pack up the things around her.
At this moment, Yue Ji's already thin body was made to look extremely fragile. Even if he was given the same powerful strength as Ultraman, he would still find it difficult to resist the seemingly weak Pantene in front of him.
This is the cruel reality, like a merciless storm sweeping in, leaving people nowhere to escape; it is also the horrifying backlash force, following like a shadow, leaving people with no escape.
Suddenly, Yi Xilin, who had already lost consciousness, accidentally knocked over the wash basin beside her. In a flash, Yue Ji quickly reached out and tried to catch the wash basin that was about to fall to the ground.
However, although Yue Ji successfully grabbed the washbasin, his own strength was too weak and he could not keep his body steady.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and Yue Ji was ultimately unable to avoid falling to the ground, his entire body instantly becoming miserable.
Seeing this, Yi Xilin tilted her head blankly at first, as if she was somewhat confused by what was happening before her eyes. But then, out of an instinctive reaction, she slowly stretched out her hands and dazedly pulled Yue Ji, who was lying on the ground, up.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you well. I'm really sorry..."
Pan Ting was very unhappy when she heard Yue Ji's words.
"It's already like this, what else can we say? If you had told us earlier that you are Ultraman, maybe we could still..."
However, Pantene's words came to an abrupt halt as she looked at the scene in front of her and recalled the horrific and desperate death scene some time ago.
She couldn't say anything.
This might be the reason why Yue Ji wants to be alone.
But even so, the accident still happened.
The sky outside was still as dark as ink. Due to the battle between Nexus and Grimd, the already sparse starry sky became even more sparse, and the number of stars had obviously decreased a lot.
Looking up, most of the sky was occupied by large areas of darkness, with only a few stars struggling to shine faintly through the gaps in the dark clouds.
Yue Ji lay quietly on the bed, his eyes looking at the ceiling, his thoughts intertwined like a tangled mess. Although his body was very tired, his mind was unusually clear and he could not fall asleep.
He involuntarily turned his gaze to the Evolution Truster placed beside the bed.
He could clearly feel that the energy contained in the Evolution Truster was rapidly decreasing, and what confused him even more was that no matter how hard he tried, the energy in his body seemed unable to be smoothly transferred to his left arm.
At this moment, his left hand kept shaking, completely out of control, as if it had lost contact with his body.
It feels like I have become an unconscious vegetable. Although I can still complete some basic movements, it is impossible to perform more delicate operations.
Now, even simple daily actions like typing on the keyboard might become a luxury for him, and Yue Ji felt lonely.
In this world, there are many things he can give up or compromise on, but the only thing he can do is face the computer, the game that has always been hidden deep in his heart...
