Don't bother me, I'm super fierce

an hour ago.

Facing the griffin who found himself attacking immediately, Shi Zhou turned around and fled without saying a word.

He didn't expect that he could still see the soul with the naked eye and contact it. After all, he thought that he had lost this ability, and the dream of Phoenix was just a coincidence.

What was temporarily good news to celebrate has now turned into bad news.

Gryphons are now able to attack him directly.

Taking advantage of the cover of the dense forest, he crazily dodged, and the potholes he went were all marked by the sharp claws of griffins.

Rolling sideways barely avoided the attack, half of his face was scratched by rough stones.

I thought that his mental power, which was so weak that it was not worth mentioning, would be the best tool for him to use right now, because it would not pose a threat to the griffin, so in a sense the griffin would not be so wary of him.Unexpectedly, everything went wrong.

The strangeness of the Griffin made him sink in the middle of the battle.

It's so wrong, I thought it was because the mecha was not fully enlightened, which caused it to be aggressive and unable to judge right from wrong, but the frantic state of the Griffin every time it didn't know how to do its best, clearly revealed that something was wrong.

After a while, both sides stopped.

Although Shi Zhou was on the run, the Griffin's attack power was too strong, and his back was covered with bloody wounds.

And the Griffin was already close to the end of its force, panting heavily, retreated a distance, and opened its eyes wide to guard against Shi Zhou.

Shi Zhou walked steadily, walking towards the griffin step by step, and raised his hand.

The griffin roared, and slapped it hard with its sharp claws.

Shi Zhou didn't dodge either, a huge wound was torn open on his arm, hot blood poured out in large streams, fell on the brown soil and merged into one, frowning heavily to hold back the pain.

The griffin seemed to wonder why the man didn't duck.

Shi Zhou took a deep breath, pressed the griffin's fur, and his beak pierced most of his palm when he turned his head, his expression remained motionless.

"I won't hurt you." Shi Zhou repeated, reaching out his injured hand again to gently stroke the criss-crossing scars on its body, and lightly touching its golden brown long hair with warm fingertips.

Griffin fixedly looked at Shi Zhou, assessing his thoughts.

One minute later, it raised its head and let out a long howl, then quietly bent its legs, and put its head against Shi Zhou's legs.

Shi Zhou's tense nerves relax for a moment.

*********

"Can you see the soul of the mecha?"

Si Lin was surprised. There were only a handful of people in the empire who could communicate with "souls", and most of them had double-S or 3S-level mental power. Previously, they only cared about Shi Zhou's injured appearance, and forgot about this biggest doubt.

But Shi Zhou's mental power is obviously only D-level?

After thinking about it, Si Lin asked what was in his heart: "Are you really only D-rank?"

"It's written clearly in the medical examination report. Even if you think I'm a liar, don't you still believe in the sophisticated testing equipment of your army?" Shi Zhou explained calmly, and he really didn't lie about this matter. .

Si Lin muttered softly, "I don't suspect you to be a liar."

When Shi Zhou heard it, he pretended not to hear it, and focused on calming the griffin with his mental power slowly.

The Griffin's mech was stuck in the swamp, no matter how strong Shi Zhou was, he couldn't get it out for a while.

And the spiritual Griffin turned over, lazily revealing his belly, looking particularly enjoying it.

At the same time, its mecha body disdainfully exhaled a mineral oil-smelling snort in the direction of Si Lin.

Si Lin: ...

"I have to take it back for modification." Si Lin frowned as if he couldn't bear the smell of mineral oil on his body, "Don't worry, it will get the best treatment."

"En." When Shi Zhou pulled his mind back, the "soul" of the griffin had gradually fallen into a sleep state. Its nerves were particularly chaotic, and it almost never rested. With Shi Zhou's guidance, it finally had a chance to rest for a while.

It is far less fierce when it is asleep than when it is awake. It nests up neatly, and its tail curls up limply.

The cold and suffocating feeling brought by the mecha body on the other side has dissipated a lot, and the uncomfortable temperament that I felt disturbed at a glance before has eased a lot.

Shi Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, let go of his tense nerves, and unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

"You were the one who communicated with Phoenix that day." Si Lin asked when Zhou regained some energy while waiting.

"Huh?" Shi Zhou was a little dazed due to the lack of oxygen in his brain, and it took him a long time to realize what Si Lin was saying, and he repeated, "Huh."

Si Lin took off his cloak and spread it on the ground, facing Shi Zhou: "Sit."

With the convenience in front of him, Shi Zhou couldn't sit still.

Si Lin came directly from the meeting site and didn't have time to change clothes, so he was still wearing the same set of clothes that he attended the meeting.The cloak is one of the custom-made marshal uniforms. The black cloth is carefully embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the golden roses are gorgeous and flamboyant. This is a unique honor given to him by the empire.

Shi Zhou felt that it might hurt his ass to sit on the bottom.

"What's wrong?" Si Lin asked when he saw that Zhou Chi hadn't moved.

"I'm afraid I'll lose my life if I sit down." Shi Zhou joked, patted the dust on his legs, sat down and found a comfortable position.

Si Lin smiled face-saving, and sat next to Shi Zhou.

"If you want to ask anything, you can ask me." Shi Zhou grabbed the short, withered grass by his hand, tilted his head and waited for Si Lin's question.

"How did you get in touch with Fenghuang?" Si Lin searched for a long time and couldn't seem to find any problems, so he randomly asked one.

This kind of thing is a long story, but Shi Zhou's generalization ability is better, so I can make a long story short:

"I met it by accident a few years ago. After I went to the base army, it found it with the remaining spiritual power."

After arriving at the base army, he found it with the remaining spiritual power, which means that Shi Zhou had completely lost contact with Phoenix for a period of time, and his mental power might even be shielded.

What happened?

Si Lin had doubts in his heart, but considering that it might involve Shi Zhou's privacy, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he just changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Is the mecha training so tiring and these things related?"

When Shi Zhou turned his head, seeing the light floating in Si Lin's eyes, he nodded slowly.

He didn't really want to answer at first, but things seemed to be developing in a direction he couldn't predict normally, and there was a layer of unknown fog.If he avoided this question, Yi Silin probably wouldn't say anything because of his personality.But by coincidence, looking at Si Lin's upright and ascetic face, Shi Zhou inexplicably had the feeling to be an honest and not a scumbag.

"Can it be treated?" Si Lin asked, watching Shi Zhou's expression, if he showed any concern, he would immediately stop talking and apologize.

Shi Zhou thought for a moment: "I don't think so, the situation is too complicated, and the damage is irreversible."

He had a gentle smile on his face, and he folded the grass he pulled out from his hand into the shape of a star: "Thank you."

Of course he knew what Si Lin meant by wanting to help him.

"Does that mean anything?"

"Huh?" Shi Zhou hesitantly handed Si Lin the star that Si Lin was holding on to, "This?"

"Yeah." Si Lin took it calmly, carefully put it in the shirt pocket close to the left chest, and looked back at Shi Zhou generously, "Let's continue."

What did you say?

Shi Zhou was helpless and didn't know what to share. This kind of topic started endlessly.

"I'll finish the task first." Shi Zhou suddenly remembered that he was at the practice site, not the shooting site of some idol drama, "I think you will come to me again, let's talk about it then."

He got up quickly, turned around and shrugged at Si Lin.

I'm afraid he won't have such a good time in the next few days. He has already let others know everything. He has already started to think about where he should go if the army doesn't want him. Maybe going to the border to do some small business is a good choice.

Ideas belong to ideas, even if you know it is impossible to realize, you have to think about it.

As soon as he left the field, instructor Zheng led him on the road worriedly: "The principal wants to see you."

How could it be possible for Principal Green to be able to come to this day with only the superficial kindness of the past, at least he did not restrain his majesty in front of Shi Zhou.Although the mouth hidden under the white beard is smiling, the mental coercion secretly released is not at all missing.

Shi Zhou said that it is understandable, after all, any uninformed person would think that he is a troublemaker with malicious intentions at first glance at these messy things.

Shi Zhou raised his head and smiled at Green, catching a glimpse of Si Lin who was half in the shadows out of his corner of the eye.

Oh, except Si Lin.

Green saw the young man in front of him so relaxed, his lips were pale and bloodless, and he looked white and harmless. He subconsciously withdrew his extroverted mental strength, stroked his white beard, and cut directly to the topic without wasting each other's time:

"Student Shire, I hope you can go to the imperial capital with us and go to school to receive education."

"People who can communicate with the 'soul' are rare in the world. The empire does not want to miss a talent like you. The education in the imperial capital is more systematic and will be of great help to you."

According to the form of the routine, let's talk about the routine first. He talked pretty, and Shi Zhou listened pretty well.

"Sorry, I just want to stay in the army. If the army doesn't let me stay, I can leave, but I'm really not interested in the imperial capital." Shi Zhou replied dryly.

Although everyone now knows that he is not dead, and his disguise of hiding in the army is almost useless, it does not mean that he has to return to the imperial capital.

It is the root of all evil, the birthplace of all his unbearable memories, and he has contributed to his acting skills all his life. Looking back now, he still feels very ashamed.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.

Both parties know that the current words cannot convince the other party, but they always want to maintain a calm surface.

Shi Zhou got up from the chair, ready to leave to give both parties enough time to sort out their thoughts.

"Shi Zhou." Si Lin called out the name accurately, and there was an inexplicable lingering feeling between his lips and teeth, which was different from his usual cold and mechanical tone.

Shi Zhou paused, whistled with interest, turned around and tilted his head.
