Being held in Herrinos' arms shows the close relationship between the two. According to the persona in this world, if it was someone else, Ji Ning could knock down the other person's hand with a cold face, but now he must pretend to be someone else. He had been hinted by Herinos that he certainly wouldn't do this to his only "friend".
So Ji Ning just showed a helpless look, pushed Herrinos' hand on her shoulder, and said, "There are still people there."
"Senior, who is this gentleman?"
Gu Chen smiled and nodded at Herinos, as a greeting. From his expression, Ji Ning could not tell what mood he was in right now. After all, as a former actor, Gu Chen's expression was always controlled as long as there was a need. All are perfect.
"I am his friend."
Herinos put down his hand graciously, and glanced at Gu Chen, but did not speak to him directly, but turned his head and asked Ji Ning with a smile, "Xiao Ning, who is he?"
"He's Gu Chen, the actor who partnered with me, and he's here to help me get medicine."
Ji Ning raised her injured arm, but did not mention the injury she suffered to save Gu Chen, and said to Gu Chen, "His name is Helinos, and he is my friend."
"Hello, Mr. Herinos." Gu Chen did not shy away and said truthfully, "I don't know if Senior Ji told you that he was injured to save me, so I'm here to help senior with medicine. It's my responsibility too."
"It was because of you?"
Hearing his words, Herinos' smile immediately faded a little, his eyes were deep, and he said indifferently: "Do you think the medicine is enough to pay off?"
"of course not."
Gu Chen shook his head, his tone was gentle and sincere, making it hard to feel disgusted: "After the filming is over, I will thank Senior Ji again, so—"
He looked at Ji Ning with a gentle smile between his brows and eyes. He pointed to his terminal and said, "If senior doesn't mind, I would like to exchange terminal numbers with you so that we can contact you in the future."
"I don't think it's necessary."
Herinos' eyes sank. Although he was still in human form, he still revealed a little coldness: "He doesn't need your thanks, and you don't need to be involved anymore."
"I know that your friend's injury will make you unhappy, but," Gu Chen said, "I think what I want to ask is Senior Ji's opinion, not anyone else's."
"Oh?" Herinos laughed instead, as if he had heard something very interesting, "I really rarely get ignored..."
As he said that, a dark red light flashed through his eyes, and the whole person's temperament suddenly became a little more seductive.
"Even if there is, they tend to change their minds later on—"
"enough."
Facing the inexplicably tense atmosphere, Ji Ning had no other choice but to raise his injured hand and said with a blank expression, "No one can help me with medicine?"
"… "
The other two immediately fell silent.
"… Feel sorry."
"sorry."
…
The result was that Ji Ning and Gu Chen exchanged the terminal's contact number, and then Gu Chen left, and Herinos helped Ji Ning spray.
Ji Ning stretched out his hand and let Herinos roll up his sleeves, then took his fingers in one hand and the spray bottle in the other, and sprayed the medicine mist on the long wound that had begun to scab .
Herinos regained the appearance of a blood race. He lowered his head at this moment, his long black hair slipped down, covering his face slightly, and his pale and slender fingers stroked the skin on the side of the wound lightly. He looked down and stared seriously. Ji Ning couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to take a bite while taking the medicine.
However, the blood prince didn't seem to have any desire to suck blood now. He just sprayed the medicine mist, helped Ji Ning tidy up his sleeves, and got up and took the medicine away.
"thanks."
Ji Ning tried to wave his arm. He had to say that the medicine in the future was magical. In his world, a severe cut would definitely require stitches, but here it was just a matter of spraying the medicine a few times.
Hearing his thanks, Herinos smiled: "Do you still need to be so polite with me?"
"You wanted to attack Gu Chen just now?"
Ji Ning wouldn't be polite to him, but he saw the red light in Herinos' eyes. In human form, it would only be revealed through the use of strength.
Herinos was silent again.
"I will save him has nothing to do with him, I will save anyone else."
Although he knew that Herinos would be unhappy, since he had a suitable reason, Ji Ning thought it was necessary for him to say so, so that even if Herinos intended to target Gu Chen, he would not do too much. .
If Gu Chen died, or Herinos gave Gu Chen a hint that Gu Chen would never fall in love with him, then he wouldn't even think about completing the task in this world.
"He's just an ordinary man, don't use your powers on him."
When Ji Ning said these words, his tone was very serious. He looked into Herinos' eyes and said solemnly, "Herinos, I don't want you to do this, because I regard you as my friend."
"… it is good."
After a moment of silence, Hirinos sighed, rubbed Jining's hair and said, "Since you said that, then I promise that I will not use my power on him." After he finished speaking, he said again. Add, "As long as he doesn't hurt you."
Ji Ning showed a faint smile: "Thank you, Herinos."
Seeing Ji Ning smiling at him, Herinos was startled, his eyes softened, he reached out and hugged Ji Ning gently, resting his head on his shoulder, closed his eyes and whispered.
"As long as you're still here, that's enough."
"… "
Hearing him say that, Ji Ning suddenly felt a little guilty, because he didn't tell Herrinos the truth, and even stayed by his side just to avoid being killed by Huo Wuling.
But his own power has not yet unlocked the seal, and now he has no other way to ensure his own safety, so even if he feels guilty, he has to hold Herinos' thigh tightly, and he will make up for Herinos in the future.
However, Ji Ning did not tell Hirinos what happened to Huo Wuling today, because this memory and system are related to time-travel. Get up, you will definitely be suspected by Herinos.
It seems that we can only wait until Huo Wuling appears next time...
Thinking like this, Ji Ning appeared calm on the surface, still abiding by the character of this world. Even if he was injured, he would have to call up the script from the terminal to review his scenes until it was too late, and Herinos asked him to do so. Go get a good rest, and then he closes the terminal and goes to sleep.
As a blood clan, Herinos actually didn't need sleep at night, but he said that he and Ji Ning had not seen each other for a long time, and planned to sleep with Ji Ning tonight, so he followed Ji Ning's schedule.
The hotel provides large beds, which are more than enough for two adults to lie on. In the memory created by Herinos, the two of them often slept in the same bed, and Ji Ning could not wait 24 hours a day. By the side of Herinos, of course there will be no objection.
When it was time to rest, the wound on Ji Ning's arm had healed, and it would not affect his sleep.
Although Ji Ning's body was very tired after a lot of things today, maybe because of the strong mental shock, Ji Ning didn't feel sleepy, and she didn't fall asleep after lying down for a long time.
He knew that Herinos, who was lying beside him, didn't sleep, but kept looking at him. Even though Ji Ning was used to facing all kinds of eyes, he still felt a lot of pressure at such a close distance. , and finally had to turn on sleep mode and force yourself to sleep.
But even in sleep mode, Ji Ning slept very restlessly.
His dream was very chaotic. In the boundless darkness, there were pieces of glass-like fragments floating around, and scenes were reflected on them, all of which were the world that Ji Ning had experienced.
He seemed to be in the interior of a kaleidoscope. With the rotation of the barrel, the fragments changed their combinations and shapes, and reflected different figures and faces. Ji Ning stood in the darkness, staring at those people.
Gradually, these fragments slowly merged together, and those hazy and illusory shadows also merged together, leaving only two people—
Huo Wuling, and Ji Ning, whose body was transparent like a ghost.
This is the world of the Infinite Stream novel "God Killing". Ji Ning is a ghost pulled by Huo Wuling from the ghost pit. When they first met, Huo Wuling was planning to raise a ghost, so he went to imprison the world. All the ghosts in the ghost pit, all of a sudden, Ji Ning was chosen among the countless ghosts.
At that time, Ji Ning had just entered "God Killing", and was trapped in a dense crowd of ghosts, there was almost no gap to turn around, his body was being torn apart frantically by the surrounding ghosts, and he was about to die in this hellish ghost pit. inside.
Until the moment Huo Wuling appeared, all the Specters fell silent and looked up at him silently.
At that time, Huo Wuling, who was still a teenager, was like strolling in the courtyard, walking on the ghost pit, her shirt was white and clean, and she lowered her head to reveal a beautiful and affectionate face, with a faint smile between her brows and eyes.
This land of death is immersed in pure darkness all year round, but he seems to be drenched in brilliance, so that all the ghosts here can clearly see his figure.
In other words, he is brilliance.
The Specter seemed to have seen the most terrifying natural enemy, and instinctively felt the extreme danger, but they didn't even dare to move, like a solidified white porcelain statue, standing sluggishly.
Only when Ji Ning saw this young man and knew that he was Huo Wuling, he immediately extended his hand towards the young man with joy and looked at him eagerly.
His cold fingertips were grasped by a warm hand.
"You chose me?"
Huo Wuling held Ji Ning's hand with a smile and asked.
In the dead silence of the ghosts, their eyes met each other. It might be a moment, or it might be a very long time. Huo Wuling laughed lightly, and slowly pulled Ji Ning out of the countless ghosts and let him stand by his side.
"Then... As a gift, I also choose you."
The young man smiled and stroked Li Gui's pale and beautiful eyebrows, kissed his forehead, and said.
"Promise me, don't betray me."
…
"Crack-"
The two overlapping shadows shattered like glass in the next moment, and the dark curtain was torn apart, revealing still darkness. Huo Wuling, who had a more mature face, stood in this darkness.
His snow-white shirt was stained with blood, and the blood on his chest was particularly thick. A hole was opened, and gurgling blood leaked out, dripping down his body and converging into a small pool under his feet.
He raised his head, his eyes were empty, and he looked in the direction of Ji Ning. His pale lips were slightly opened, and his voice was so broken that it was almost inaudible.
"… why?"
"You promised me then that you would not betray me."
"You promised me—"
"!!"
Ji Ning suddenly woke up from the nightmare. He sat up and gasped for breath. Herinos, who was sleeping beside him, opened his eyes and sat up. He leaned on his shoulder and asked, "Have you had a nightmare?"
"… "
Ji Ning nodded, still panting, Herinos poured him a glass of water and helped him drink it, then asked with a slight frown, "So scared, what did you dream of?"
"...Dream of a ghost." Ji Ning was soaked in cold sweat, he calmed down for a while, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and said to Herinos, "I'll take a shower first, and I'll be with you later. Say."
At this time, it was still dark, and the lights sensed that someone was moving, and automatically turned on a soft dim light. Using the light, Ji Ning walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
At this moment, the mirror light in front of the washbasin suddenly lit up, and the pale light illuminated the mirror surface, not Ji Ning, but Huo Wuling's figure.
Huo Wuling in the mirror stretched out his hand forward, his fingertips penetrated the mirror surface, touched Ji Ning, and suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Ningning."
He laughed.
"I'm here to pick you up."
