Kill the Sun

Chapter 105 Chapter 105 – Wake Up!

Nick looked at the Dreamer with an imploring look.

He only hoped that Horua wouldn't die.

If Horua died…

Nick wouldn't know what he would do.

For the last couple of days, he had already been feeling horrible, and being the reason for Horua's death would make things only worse.

Nick slowly took a couple of steps back, showing the Dreamer that he didn't intend to attack it.

The Dreamer slowly turned to look at the boy lying in front of it.

Then, the Dreamer slowly turned to look at Nick again.

"Please," Nick repeated.

After that, the Dreamer looked at Wyntor.

"Do it," Wyntor said with a nod.

Lastly, the Dreamer focused on the boy again.

A moment later, it took a step forward and lowered its head to focus on Horua's eyes.

Right now, Horua's eyes were half-opened and blankly staring at the ceiling.

The Dreamer kept focusing on Horua.

A couple of seconds later, Horua's eyes closed on their own.

When Nick saw that, he became excited.

Horua couldn't close his eyes himself, but just now, he had actually closed them!

Horua was still alive!

The fact that he could close his eyes meant that he was still in there!

Nick's heart rate increased as more time passed.

A couple of minutes of silence passed.

Nick felt like these minutes were hours.

"Ugh…"

Nick's eyes shot open when he heard a groan coming from Horua.

Horua's voice sounded incredibly hoarse and coarse, but that was to be expected after not talking for over three months.

However, the important thing was that Horua had actually said something!

"Argh…" Horua groaned in pain.

While the earlier groan had been one of discomfort, this had definitely been one of pain.

It sounded like Horua had just tried to stop himself from screaming.

Sadly…

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Nick's eyes looked with fervent intensity at Horua as he screamed in absolute agony.

In his entire life, Nick had never heard a human scream in so much agony!

The only scream that was more intense came from the Screaming Coffin.

Worried that Horua might die, Nick charged-

"Nick, stop!" Wyntor shouted, holding his arm in front of Nick.

Nick could barely hear Wyntor's voice due to Horua's loud and terrifying scream.

"It knows what it's doing!" Wyntor shouted. "Trust in the fact that it knows what the optimal course of action is for its survival!"

Nick's body shook.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Horua's scream was terrifying, and Nick felt like he wanted to either punch the Dreamer or run away.

No matter the case, Nick felt like he had to do something!

Suddenly, blood shot out of Horua's mouth as his vocal cords broke apart and leaked blood.

"STOP!" Nick shouted with all of his power.

Nick was just about to push Wyntor to the side when the Dreamer actually turned to look at Nick by only moving its head. Its body was still hunched over Horua.

The Dreamer's intense but dead stare focused on Nick's eyes as Horua kept screeching in agony and pain.

"Nick, stop- ugh!"

Wyntor was pushed to the side by Nick as he ran towards the Dreamer.

When the Dreamer saw Nick approach, it jumped backward with quite a bit of speed and landed in the corner of the room.

In an instant, Nick arrived between Horua and the Dreamer.

Nick wanted to attack the Dreamer so badly, but since the Dreamer had already stepped away, the immediate issue was solved.

So, he turned around and focused on Horua.

That was when Nick saw that Horua's eyes had shot open in terror and agony.

Horua's eyes were completely red with blood, and his body entire body was rigid as all his muscles strained.

His scream had become silent, but his mouth was still opened in an expression that perfectly reflected someone screeching in agony.

But most shocking of all, Nick saw Horua's pupils rapidly moving around.

He was awake!

"Horua!" Nick shouted as he quickly kneeled beside Horua to grab his hand. "Everything's okay! You're awake again!"

However, Horua didn't notice Nick and just focused on the ceiling as his entire body strained.

"Horua!" Nick shouted as his grip on Horua's hand tightened.

That seemed to do the trick, and Horua's pupils seemed to fight and strain as they tried to focus on Nick.

Time seemed to stand still as Nick just looked into Horua's eyes.

After seemingly an eternity, Horua's mouth slowly moved.

No sound came out.

However, Nick could tell what Horua was mouthing, and his heart nearly broke into pieces.

"I'm… sorry…"

That was what Horua was mouthing.

Nick knew what this meant.

As a child, Horua believed that Nick was causing him this pain, and the only thing Horua could do to stop Nick from causing him even more pain was to submit and apologize.

The pure terror in Horua's eyes told Nick as much.

"No, Horua! You're going to get better!" Nick shouted as his grip on Horua's arm relaxed.

Horua stopped mouthing words and looked at Nick with strained pupils.

An eternity seemed to pass.

"Horua!" Nick shouted again.

And then, Horua's pupils suddenly moved upward, losing all focus as his body lost all strength.

"Horua!" Nick shouted once more as he started to shake Horua's shoulders.

Horua didn't move.

Next, Nick put his ear to Horua's mouth to listen.

Silence.

Five seconds of silence.

"He's not breathing!" Nick shouted in panic. "What do I do?!"

"Is his heart beating?" Wyntor asked urgently.

Nick put his ear to Horua's chest.

Nothing.

"It isn't!" Nick shouted.

"Make way!" Wyntor shouted as he pushed Nick away.

Nick rapidly moved to the side and looked at Wyntor with hope.

Wyntor immediately started to push on Horua's chest in a certain rhythm.

"Go to my office and get the Recovery Liquid in the lowest drawer!" Wyntor shouted.

Nick nodded and immediately ran out of the Containment Unit.

After entering Wyntor's office, Nick immediately opened the lowest drawer and quickly found the small green bottle.

Nick raced back with the bottle and saw Wyntor still performing CPR.

"Give it to me," Wyntor said.

Nick gave the bottle to Wyntor.

Wyntor opened it and poured a couple of drops on Horua's head and some into his throat.

Wyntor had already stopped performing CPR and just watched Horua with Nick.

This would decide whether Horua lived or not.
