When Lin Yuan found Ni Ji, the sentry was staying in a small room full of miscellaneous items.
He looked okay, not as miserable as I had imagined.
He just sat in a dark corner, with water droplets hanging from his hair and his whole body soaked by some kind of potion.
Lin Yuan remembered this potion - the mimicking agent.
When she first met Ni Ji in the contaminated area, Ni Ji dipped her finger in a little mimicry and drew a circle on the floor beside her, isolating all human scents from Lin Yuan and preventing the mutants coming and going outside from noticing her.
This time, perhaps because he was afraid of being found by the sentinels with a keen sense of smell, or to cover up some strong smell, he did not hesitate to pour such an expensive potion all over himself.
When Lin Yuan came in, he was biting the corner of his clothes and injecting a guide element into his abdomen.
There were several used needle-free injections lying on the ground beside him.
Overdose of guide factor is very scary. After all, it is a man-made drug, unlike natural guide factor. Overdose will destroy the Sentinel both physically and mentally.
Lin Yuan grabbed Ni Ji's hand and stopped his crazy behavior that completely disregarded his body.
I found that his body temperature was very high and his palms were frighteningly hot.
But his eyes were still clear, in the darkness, there was a little light in his eyes, like a black stone washed in the clear lake water. There was a burning rage in his black eyes, something that he hated was happening.
"Lin Yuan," he called out Lin Yuan's name, his throat sounding hoarse, as if he was severely dehydrated. He pressed the guide element in his hand into Lin Yuan's hand. His hand was shaking, and he no longer had the strength to control this convenient needle-free syringe.
He tried to slow down for a moment before he finished speaking in a calm tone, "Lin Yuan, please help me."
This is the White Tower, the holy and beautiful Garden of Eden.
Where there are the most guides, you can be a guide yourself.
But the sentry sat in a damp and dim corner, biting the corner of his clothes and madly injecting himself with excessive doses of artificial guide factors that were harmful to the body.
The room was narrow, cluttered, and dimly lit. The sentry leaning against the corner looked calm, expressionless, and maintained a calm attitude. He also poured himself with a mimicry to cover up his smell.
Lin Yuan didn't understand what happened to him for a while. Until she got close to Ni Ji, she suddenly smelled a faint smell.
This may not be a smell in the physical sense, but a kind of information penetration that can only be understood between guides and sentinels.
It's hard to describe, and it reminds Lin Yuan of the smell that can only be smelled in an orchard during a harvest at a certain time of year.
One autumn, when there was no gardener at home, she and Little Crab strolled to the backyard of their home, where there was a whole orchard of fruit trees. The branches were full of ripe fruits, tempting people to reach out and pick them.
The ripe and soft persimmons were picked from the branches by Lin Yuan's snow-white fingers. With a light bite, the juice was sweet and the sweet smell spread in the mouth, so sweet that it made people intoxicated.
The sentry, whose face could not be seen clearly, was sitting in the darkness at this moment, and his senses suddenly overlapped with that season.
The autumn grove, the ripe fruits, the deserted silent world, the sweet temptation.
Lin Yuan understood at that moment what happened to Ni Ji, the kind of emotion that would normally only be aroused between the closest partners.
Not long ago, in the palace at the top of the tower, Ji Xuan was forced into that state by the queen.
At this moment, exactly the same thing happened to Ni Ji.
The sentinel attempted to inject himself with guide factors frantically to suppress some uncontrollable state that was burning from within his body.
If I hadn't found him, he would most likely have died from the abuse of guide element.
What's even more terrifying is being found in this state, dragged out of here and taken to the hall at the top of the tower.
The tentacles reacted even faster than Lin Yuan's. Almost at the same time they sensed that Ni Ji released that smell, the overwhelming tentacles enveloped the space around the two of them with unprecedented strength.
With Lin Yuan as the center, the tentacles spread out and surrounded, tightly trapping the two people in a narrow space formed by the tentacles intertwined with each other.
They used themselves as shields to guard the sentinels that were beginning to leak out their emotions, firmly blocking any will that was peering into this corner.
The queen's cold gaze continued to sweep over from above again and again.
But in her mental scan, this narrow storage room was nothing more than a dead space without any mental fluctuations, not worth her taking any further look.
"It's okay, don't inject this randomly." Lin Yuan said to Ni Ji with a little stutter, "I will watch over you and won't let you get caught."
She didn't know why she was so nervous. She believed that she could protect Ni Ji.
No matter what kind of emotions he expressed, she believed that she could prevent the being with powerful spiritual perception ability at the top of the tower from discovering and finding this place.
But Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan is also a strong, calm and self-controlled Sentinel, but when he falls into the heat of the combination, his reason and dignity are completely submerged by the most primitive things in an instant.
In front of outsiders.
This is the most humiliating torture for a person with strong self-esteem.
"Ni Ji..." Lin Yuan looked at the sentry who was huddled in the corner, not knowing what to say.
A huge anger rose in her heart.
In the past, she hated the White Tower and the distorted system of the Empire, and regarded Her Majesty the Queen, who seemed gentle but was actually eccentric, as her enemy.
But that emotion was deeply buried in her heart, peaceful and stable, allowing her to follow the plan step by step, gradually retreating into her plan to find out the truth. Even when testing each other with the queen, she could remain calm and composed.
But at this moment, a hot current like lava flames in her heart pushed open the sealing stones and burst out, making her feel the burning anger for the first time in her life.
Why did she treat my sentinel like this and put him in such an aggrieved and painful situation
No one knows how innocent and lovely this guy is. He is a huge gem, the purest sea under the glacier and snow peaks.
He owns the most charming garden and mysterious palace. No matter what kind of desperate situation he falls into, he always keeps his strong and proud character, which is never tarnished or bent. He is self-respecting and proud, self-disciplined and gentle.
She is like a treasure and the best person I know.
Those guys actually wanted to eat him alive, and used such a twisted method to force him to appear, and then put him in a cage to humiliate and torture him.
Just thinking about how that kind of thing almost happened, Lin Yuan's anger burned uncontrollably. The flames grew more and more intense, and there was no way to extinguish them. She felt that she could no longer tolerate it, and one day she would burn the source of the evil to calm down.
A dirty tower, a rotten dynasty, and a filthy emperor.
These things that are white on the surface but rotten inside will eventually be burned by the anger of her and countless people.
Ni Ji turned himself around in the darkness.
He felt that there was a primordial fire burning from the deepest part of the sea, so hot that even the deep sea could not extinguish it.
Fine bubbles rose from the dark blue seabed, the sea water was being heated, overloaded, dyed crimson, and changed color.
The whole person was falling, and countless things he held on to were being peeled off and disintegrated along the way.
The deepest wounds and pains, softness and fragility, embarrassment and unbearableness, as well as some unspeakable ugliness are all surfacing.
It floated to the surface and was presented to the person he least wanted to be seen by, placing it in her sight without any obstruction.
The tentacles squirmed, leaving them a small private space that could only accommodate two people.
Ni Ji closed his eyes and turned his back. The mimicry agent and sweat soaked his tight-fitting tights. The wet black fabric stuck to his skin, outlining the taut lines of his back.
This is a well-tempered sentinel with broad shoulders, a tight waist, and very powerful legs.
He has been to contaminated areas thousands of times, endured countless painful tortures, and can charge into the enemy camp alone and take people's lives without blinking an eye.
But at this moment, he curled up in a dark corner and lost even the strength to give himself an injection.
His body was soaked with sweat, he was shaking uncontrollably, and was emitting a subtle smell.
Like a stranded fish, it helplessly swung its tail on the rocks. The red fruits on the autumn trees drooped softly from the branches.
Like snails crawling slowly in the wet green grass in spring, like butterflies clinging to each other in the shadow of roses at night.
Lin Yuan's throat moved and he felt an inappropriate emotion rising in addition to anger.
She quickly checked herself carefully to make sure that her spiritual world had not been invaded or influenced by the Queen.
But there is such an indescribable thing, I was hooked by the person in front of me and awakened by the slight breathing sound.
It's like there is a cunning fish swimming inside the body, elusive to catch, yet extremely vivid.
Make her feel that her throat is a little thirsty and she wants something, preferably something very sweet.
The small space encircled by the tentacles was soon filled with the breath of the sentinels, and all the details seemed to be magnified in such an environment.
You can see the sweat flowing in the darkness, the frowning brows, the bitten thin lips, and the tightly clenched fists wearing black gloves.
Lin Yuan and the will of all the tentacles merged into one as never before at this moment. They rarely had all kinds of ideas and strange hobbies.
At this moment, all their spirits were highly consistent, and their hobbies and concerns were concentrated in one place.
The noisy chattering stopped, and the world was completely silent. In the small space, only the breathing and heartbeats of the two people could be heard.
Starting from Lin Yuan, every brain and every thought was only focused on the sentry in front of them, watching his every move and feeling his uneasiness.
My mood fluctuated due to the special emotion he exuded.
From Lin Yuan to each of her tentacles, one could clearly see Ni Ji's bitter endurance and torment.
He stretched himself to the limit, and the tentacles moving on the ground were wet with the sweat he left behind.
The tentacle's suction cup squirmed, licked off a few drops of sweat, and couldn't help but get excited.
"Do you want me to help you?" Lin Yuan heard his own voice.
The voice sounded extremely unreal, bewitching in the humid air, and it hardly seemed like it came from one's own throat.
The sentinels on the ground quickly gave some unclear answers.
The sound was like thin sugar melting in a pot, sticky and unclear, sweet enough to make people daydream, but completely incomprehensible.
It sounded like an invitation, like a plea, and a little like crying.
Lin Yuan couldn't help himself and reached out to touch his hair.
I touched soft wet hair, and the person began to tremble as soon as my fingertips touched it.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt that she had seen such a scene before. She must have seen it, the dim space, the surging tentacles, and the wet sentinels.
Looking down, he saw the pair of thin lips that he had bitten himself. They were stained with blood and shimmered with a faint light in the darkness.
Those were the lips she had tasted herself, Lin Yuan suddenly felt certain.
She leaned closer and saw that Ni Ji's eyes were misty, like amber that had turned into water. Their noses touched and they could smell each other's breath.
Lin Yuan lowered his head and kissed those thin lips, then handed his guide Su over.
It was just as she had imagined, the sweetest thing she had ever tasted in this world.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, even breathing was forgotten.
I don't know how much time passed before they separated from each other. I looked at each other gasping with mouth open, and heard the sound of my heart pounding in my chest.
This feeling is extremely pleasant. Every part of my body feels comfortable, and every hair tip feels smooth and smooth. I can't help but want to continue asking for more, wanting to get more happiness from him.
In such a dim space, a faint light coming from nowhere allowed her to see a little bit of water light sliding down the corners of the man's eyes.
Such water light is frightening, and Lin Yuan began to remind himself not to go too far.
I remembered the complete collapse of Ji Xuan’s spiritual world after that, and the mess in his mental picture.
Having seen the strong emotions of hatred, anger and humiliation in Ji Xuan's mental picture, how could he bear to do the same thing to Ni Ji.
Don't go too far, Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan repeatedly emphasized to himself, just to help him, to help him get through this time.
I'm just helping.
But it was too sweet and tasted so good that I couldn't help but lower my head and taste it again.
