【Qijie】The Kingdom of Eternal Life

The mission that Xiaojie and two other sentries set out before was a mission to find missing persons.

To be honest, everyone basically does this type of task often, and they are more or less familiar with it.This mission dispatched one S-level sentry, two A-level sentries, and one B-level sentry, but it was not successfully completed, and even all of them were seriously injured. This is really very rare.

The reason why so many elites are dispatched for this mission is that on the one hand, there are a large number of missing people, and on the other hand, the identities of the missing people are also relatively special.

A total of 33 people were missing, and more than half of them had something to do with the Tower.For example, relatives of tower workers, neighbors who live on the same floor as sentries or guides in the tower, children who play best with offspring born to bound sentries... This kind of relationship is as thin as a spider's web Transparency is often easily overlooked.Even the towers don't pay much attention if there are only a few occurrences.But with more than a dozen cases added together, no matter how deceptive it is, it is difficult for the tower to find out and make some guesses.

In such a large-scale case of missing persons, more than half of the people have such an indirect relationship with the tower, and it is indeed necessary to be more cautious.As a result, four sentinels were sent but the task was not successfully completed. To some extent, this level of caution was indeed necessary.After all, if the tower did not send Xiaojie but sent out one or two sentries or guides according to the standard of ordinary cases, the latter might not be able to come back.

The mission went smoothly at the beginning, but it was a bit too smooth.Following the clues, they found that the missing persons were likely to be taken away in batches for human experimentation, so they followed the found address to make unannounced visits, and sneaked into the vehicle of the research institute to transport materials.

The experimental base is unimaginably large and heavily guarded.Because there was no map, the four of them divided into two teams and walked on two side roads. Xiaojie and Strange were on one side, and the other two sentries were on the other side. Xiaojie bumped into the right direction and found the place where the experimental cabin place.

Much more exaggerated than expected.

At least Xiaojie was taken aback when he saw it. The human body cabin densely packed the entire underground base, which was as big as a football field. In the light green physiological fluid, people slept with their eyes closed. All of them are pasted with chips and connected wires, leading into the machine, and the data that Xiaojie can't understand jumps on the screen.

Xiaojie sent a message to the two sentries of the other team that the target location had been found, and he and Strange started the rescue first.

They didn't open the experimental cabin hastily. To be on the safe side, they knocked out an experimenter when he placed an order.It is a pity that they did not bring a guide to fight together, and the two present were not sentries who were good at mental attack. He opened the screen of the experimental machine, and began to try to deactivate the machine that was jumping with some runes.

It started off very well.The wires connected to the machine were loosened one by one, and the light green physiological fluid was drained from the tank and slowly opened, but the people in the tank were still sleeping.Strange winked at Xiaojie, walked over to inspect these poor people who had been abducted and experienced some kind of experiment, after watching for a while, he seemed to find nothing unusual, he gestured to Xiaojie, Xiaojie Just allow the stop work of the machine to continue.

Unexpectedly, when No. 13 was released, a very harsh and indescribable noise suddenly sounded in their ears.The noise was neither sharp nor particularly loud, but it was like a blunt heavy hammer hitting his temple suddenly. Even Xiaojie, who was always on guard, was stunned by this blow .

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of nausea swirled up, drowning his whole body in it. What's worse, a steady stream of mental noises began to drill through his mental barrier, like a cold sharp cone, and like a sinister Snakes usually go deeper into the realm.Xiaojie realized something was wrong, and tried to break free with the pain, but he was an unbound sentinel, and his mental barrier was not enough to deal with such a malicious mental attack, so he only had time to send a message of alert and help to the tower's communication equipment , and passed out.

When he woke up, Xiaojie was not surprised to find that he and Strange had been separated. He was alone in a low cage, all communication equipment was taken away, and he was completely handcuffed and fettered. Looks like he's been given muscle relaxants.According to the bumps that came from time to time, he speculated that he should be packed into a transport box, and he didn't know where he was going to be transported.

There was nothing in the carriage except himself.Xiaojie punched the cage as hard as he could, but he couldn't even make a dent.Most of his five senses have been sealed away, and the hearing and sense of smell that used to have a radius of 500 meters are only five meters away. This may be the sequelae of mental noise pollution, and his memory of the next period is very vague.

"I just remember being taken to a base, where I was injected with a large amount of muscle relaxants and various unknown drugs every day. Probably because I was afraid that I would regain my strength, I was never given solid food. Inject nutritional supplements." Xiaojie pulled up his sleeve and showed Qi Ya the faint pinholes in his arm muscles, "Every day they will play mental noise for me at a fixed time, I really can't remember the other details, I should be able to Remember the face of the experimenter... Kiya?"

He called out his husband's name suspiciously.The latter sat on the sofa with his fingers crossed in a tower shape, covering his mouth and nose, and his silver bangs were scattered, covering his eyes. This time, Xiaojie couldn't see his expression clearly at all.

"Qiu?"

Although he couldn't see clearly, Xiaojie always had some bad premonitions.His instincts are always right.

He sat down and touched Qi Ya's arm carefully.The latter moved a bit, let go of his crossed fingers, let go, grabbed his fingers, and finally opened his mouth: "Go on. And then? How did you escape?"

Xiaojie was stunned for a moment, Qi Ya's hand was very strong, as if he wanted to confirm something, he held it tightly, even Xiaojie with rough skin and thick flesh felt a little pain in his knuckles.He struggled instinctively, but in exchange for a stronger grip, Qi Ya's grip loosened slightly, but he still held his hand relentlessly, showing no intention of letting go.

All right, pull if you want.

Although I always felt that something was a little awkward, but seeing Qi Ya's look of "there is nothing wrong, I just want to hold hands and listen to you", Xiaojie had no choice but to continue to say:

The people in the experimental base were very guarded. Even though Xiaojie was used to large doses of muscle relaxants and messy mental noises, they could always come up with new medicines to call him.The effects vary, some will cause him to fall into a coma, some will cause confusion, and some will force him to stop breathing, and suddenly regain the ability to breathe when the feeling of suffocation reaches its peak.These Xiaojies can actually bear it. Although the situation is severe, he can actually bear it. At that time, he also observed the timetable and personnel allocation of the experimental personnel during the limited waking hours.He is certain that he can escape, but the problem is that he does not know the location and situation of the other companions.

When Xiaojie hesitated a little, and finally decided to get rid of these potions first, an unexpected event happened that he didn't expect.

Although Xiaojie enjoyed the supreme VIP-level treatment and was locked in a separate room with heavy shackles, the room next door to him was actually the room of other people who were abducted as experimental materials.At this point in time, there happened to be a little girl from the experimental subject that differentiated into a sentinel, and because of the negligence of the experimenters, the girl who had just differentiated and could not establish a mental barrier and control the five senses was stimulated into a runaway, and the two rooms were separated. A large hole was cut directly out of the compartment.The experimenters in the base were in a panic. Xiaojie took advantage of the chaos and smashed the physiology cabin, trying to appease the runaway little girl. On the way to escape, he happened to meet Strange's physiology cabin and smashed his too. The three of them One piece escaped.

In fact, fortunately, for some reason that day, half of the personnel in the entire experimental base were allocated and sent away. It may be that there are other important matters that need to be dealt with.Also because of this reason, the defense of the base was much weaker than usual, and it was possible for the two of them to overcome the influence of those potions and escape with a newly differentiated sentinel girl who was almost a double-edged sword.They smashed a lot of physiological cabins along the way, but most of the people in them fell out and didn’t respond, and they didn’t know if they were still angry. They really didn’t have time to take care of them. After several rounds of gun battles, Xiaojie was exhausted and passed out.

When I woke up again, I was on the hospital bed, and when I looked up, I had an extra husband.

... I'm done.Xiaojie said.

Of course, in the end, he didn't say the sentence "I have an extra husband as soon as I look up".

Although he had explained everything he remembered as clearly as he could, his husband still sat there silent, holding his hand with terrifying strength. Might all be scratched.Fortunately, Xiaojie thinks that his copper skin and iron frame can still withstand Qi Ya's grasp. He doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't quite understand why Qi Ya doesn't speak, but he has a hunch that the reason why Qi Ya is so unhappy is that Probably because of him.

Is it because of him?

Xiaojie can't speak well, but he can vaguely perceive it.

It is precisely because of this vague perception that he sat here so honestly and let him be pinched, and not only was he not unhappy, but even a little...

A little bit of what?

He lowered his eyes and picked up an orange on the plate on the table.But what Qi Ya grabbed was his right hand, he was not left-handed, after several attempts, he could not successfully peel and remove the orange with his left hand.

At this time, most people give up.But Xiaojie was different. He was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. He stared at the orange, thinking about where to start.Just when he picked it up and thought about whether he could bite off the skin with his mouth, his right hand suddenly loosened.

The force that was holding him tightly loosened suddenly, and Xiaojie didn't even react at first.Until a plain white hand suddenly reached out and took away the orange he was about to bring to his lips.The bony fingers peeled off the orange skin skillfully, and a unique sour aroma of orange spread out. Xiaojie sniffed the tip of his nose, and then grabbed an orange petal that Qiya brought to his lips.

He spat out a few small seeds with a "poof", thinking: so sour.

"If it was in the past," Qi Ya stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth, and while chewing, said vaguely: "I might kill those people directly."

He was talking while eating the orange, and his words were contained in the juice splashed by the chewed orange petals, so he couldn't hear clearly.But even so, the understated murderous intent hidden in the words is still like a few sharp and cold iron pieces, hidden in the sweet and sour fruit sac of the orange, once chewed, the murderous aura overflows in the pieces.

Xiaojie blinked and said, "Then now?"

Qi Ya lowered his head and ate the oranges: "You gave too little information, I don't know who they are."

In other words, there is no way to kill.

In fact, it is also possible.If he really wants to kill, these are no reasons to stop him at all.

Qi Ya didn't say these words, just tore off two pieces of paper, and slowly wiped clean his fingers stained with orange juice.Xiaojie watched his movements and said, "Killing people is not good."

Qi Ya didn't look at him, and hummed.

Xiaojie smiled and said, "But I know that Qiya won't kill them even if he has enough information."

Qi Ya paused for a moment, then raised his hand and gently rubbed his head, "You have too much confidence in me."

Hearing that Xiaojie had been treated like that just now, thinking about the mess in the spiritual realm of Xiaojie who had just been rescued, he almost couldn't restrain his killing intent.Only when he firmly grasped Xiaojie's hand and confirmed that this person was still by his side did he forcefully suppress the killing intent.If the culprit was in front of him, he really couldn't guarantee that he could remember the line of principle highlighted in red and bold in the code of conduct of the tower's sentinel guide: no killing except in special circumstances.

It's been so long, but it's really hard to change a habit.

He suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand to grab Xiaojie's paw, and found that he had used too much force just now, and he didn't control his strength well, making his hand red and white.

...This must be painful.

Obviously, it would be good to get rid of him...

Xiaojie was about to eat the third orange, when his hand was taken away again, he looked away from the top of the orange in doubt, and glanced at Qiya: "So what..."

The following words were frightened so that the three souls went to the seven souls, and they choked dryly in the throat, swallowing until they lost their minds.

Qi Ya held his hand, didn't look at him, didn't speak, just bowed his head silently and silently.He lowered his eyes, his eyes were covered by long eyelashes, and his bangs were also scattered. Xiaojie couldn't see his expression, but he could see his movements.

Qi Ya slowly touched the skin on the back of his hand with his lips barely touching or leaving the ground.

very light.Very restrained.

I also cherish it.

Obviously it was just a moment, but the hot temperature seemed to penetrate into the skin on the back of the hand, penetrate into the blood vessels buried in the skin, run wildly along the blood in the blood vessels, break into the chest regardless of the wind and rain, and burn crazily in the heart. Into the bone marrow, burned into the ears.There was a whole house burning in front of my eyes, and there was a lot of chatter in my ears, and there was only the word "Qi Ya".

The familiar spiritual power permeates gently, with a soothing soft breath, enveloping him like a trickle, like an ocean tolerantly giving a moist and rich embrace to the dry land.

Xiaojie closed his eyes, sensing the spiritual guidance from his guide.

This tenderness and comfort is like being soothed by hot water to every tense nerve, dissipating all the remaining painful memories.

How familiar.During the time when he was plunged into almost eternal darkness, it was this kind of tenderness that accompanied him through dreams and pulled him out of the kingdom of death.

He opened his eyes, not knowing what to say, but couldn't restrain himself and said, "Is Qiya loving me?"

Qi Ya paused for a moment, then put down Xiaojie's hand.

Before he could answer, a hand that was squeezed red and white by him just now was climbed onto his shoulder.

Without raising his eyes, he felt a dry softness rubbing against his cheeks, and he walked away as soon as he touched them.

"Thank you." Xiaojie said.

Qi Ya was about to raise the hand that clasped his neck for a moment, then put it back on his knee.

"...Needless to say this." He said, "The little girl you rescued... is still there?"

Many sentinels can't survive the five senses when they first awakened. If the awakening environment is harsh, and no one guides him or her to build a mental barrier, it is very likely that he or she will die of pain or wander from there.

Xiaojie was slightly taken aback, and said, "Well, I remember it was sent to the medical department... Strange, why didn't Leorie tell me?"

"It may be taken over by another doctor." Qi Ya said, "Leori is so busy, it is not impossible to hand it over to others. I will call and ask now."

So he stood up and went to the balcony to make a phone call.Xiaojie lowered his head and planned to continue eating the oranges, but his fingers, which were usually stable enough to carry a tripod, were unbelievably soft for a moment. He worked hard for a long time, but only left a few weak scars on the skin of the oranges. .After a while, he finally gave up, raised his head and put his orange-scented hands on his forehead, and sighed red-faced as if admitting defeat.

TBC.
