The first sign came quickly.
Jian Li's pulse dropped.
Ester felt it immediately.
"Shit."
Jian Yue leaned over his sister.
"Li?"
"I'm…"
She tried to take a deep breath.
Couldn't.
"…tired."
"Don't close your eyes," Ester said.
Jian Li looked at her.
"That sounds like a very difficult order."
"It is."
Ester placed two fingers against her neck again.
Slower.
Weak.
Irregular.
Mu Qing remained motionless.
"I can rebuild them."
Damon turned immediately.
"No."
"She's dying."
"I heard."
"I can reconstruct the formations."
"She just rejected exactly that."
"Then you want to let her die?"
Jian Yue raised his face.
His expression became dangerous.
Damon did not back down.
"No."
Mu Qing pointed at Jian Li.
"Then we need to replace the support!"
"No."
"You keep saying that like it's a solution!"
"Because you keep trying to solve everything the same way!"
Mu Qing fell silent.
Damon pointed toward the bed.
