Chapter 102 What’s the relationship?

"Relationship?" Lu Zhizhi tilted her head and thought, but did not answer. Instead, she asked Li Chenjun a question: "What is our relationship?"

Li Chenjun's pupils trembled slightly and his expression became gloomy.

"You taught me the marking, just like you taught me the spiritual sea connection before, but you didn't teach me what this relationship is."

Lu Zhizhi was very confused about this. She marked Li Chenjun completely out of trust in him. At that time, he said that this was the only way to help her recover her mental strength and deal with the engraving issue. He never made it clear from beginning to end that marking could not be done to other people, nor did he say what the mark represented.

And when she later marked Hector, it was under the manipulation of Liu Congyun, so there was no question of whether they had a relationship or not.

Only marking Jiashi was a choice she made on her own initiative after the memory fusion.

In the past, she would never have been able to do such a thing.

Because no matter whether it is Lu Zhizhi who was well protected by her brother in the apocalypse, or the simple Lu Zhizhi who was spoiled by the Lu family since childhood, she would only accept the behavior of others with a good temper, and rarely had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to control others.

But Lu Zhizhi, who had merged the two memories, had some naive questions about the past.

What would happen if we didn’t just play the role of being protected, but took the initiative to create and take control?

Being treasured, pampered, and loved all sound like descriptions and annotations of happiness, but she felt suffocated when she recalled the two memories, because she began to realize that the price of being treasured is losing the right to decide one's own life;
The meaning of being pampered is that from now on your life can only depend on the person who pampers you. He doesn’t need to use any means to destroy you. He just needs to leave and you will be left with no one to rely on.
Being pampered is the sweetest bomb. In fact, "pampering" is just the simplest means of control, just like her coaxing of Hector and her indifference to Jiashi, which are just a way to manipulate other people's emotions. And how much sincerity there is in it, only the controller knows.

The girl in his arms leaned on his shoulder, so he couldn't see her thoughtful expression, but could only hear her voice as sweet and soft as usual: "Qia Xi said that I played with others. If this is playing, then have you played with me before?"

Li Chenjun couldn't utter a word of rebuttal, and his heart ached unconsciously.

He wanted to tell her that we belonged to each other.

But for a long time, there has always been a clear reminder in his mind that Lu Zhizhi can't belong to anyone. At this point, the special status of the guide can no longer make them a one-to-one relationship like ordinary people.

"No, Qiaxi is wrong." Li Chenjun's arms tightened, holding her tightly in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "I am willing to be marked by you, I belong to you. As for you and them, I will not ask anymore."

Afterwards, Li Chenjun patted her back to coax her to sleep as he did before, but he himself stayed awake all night.

In the following days, Lu Zhizhi has been concentrating on training and preparing to go to the wormhole. She has learned in detail about the characteristics of the Zerg and the route of this mission, and has made many preparations, except for meeting Jiashi. And contrary to his usual behavior, Jiashi would rather lock himself up than take the initiative to find Lu Zhizhi even though he was tortured by the combination fever.

Feng Heng watched their stalemate and felt very awkward.

He always thought that Lu Zhizhi was just a little rabbit that would bite when she was anxious, but he didn't expect that if her heart was really hardened, she would be the most ruthless person.

As a sentry, although he usually disliked Jiashi, he was well aware of the consequences of not being appeased during the heat of the moment, so he reported the situation to Qiashi.

"Considering that the sentinels who are not comforted during the heat of the battle will go berserk, I think Jiashi is not suitable for this mission. It would be better to replace him as soon as possible." Feng Heng said.

After listening to him, Qiasi asked him without even looking up, "Are you dissatisfied with the guide?"

Feng Heng raised his eyebrows: "What I mean is, given Jiashi's personality, if it were in the past, he would have pestered her to comfort him a long time ago, but now he just locks himself in his room and hurts himself every day. I think his mental state is not suitable for joining the team, and his relationship with her must be very stiff, which will affect the mission."

Qiaxi smiled and said, "You want to use this opportunity to get rid of an annoying love rival, Feng Heng."

Feng Heng looked at him coldly, but did not deny it. Instead, he said, "Isn't this something the commander would like to see?"

Qiasi narrowed his eyes, and the two looked at each other, with sparks in the air. After a while, Qiasi sneered and said, "Do you think she hates Jiashi? Or do you think Jiashi will give up on her so easily?"

Feng Heng was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

“These two people are fighting for control of the relationship.”

Qiasi leaned his upper body back on the chair and pinched his eyebrows.

"Jashi is different from you. He killed his father when he was young and showed an extremely cruel side since he was a child. Later, he graduated from the White Tower as an outstanding graduate, participated in the major battle of 921, won the medal of daring to die, and is now one of the five S-level people. Such a person climbed up by stepping on the corpses of countless of his own people. He has no morals or rules in his heart. The reason why he has been obedient over the years is that his mental pollution is more serious than others, and he needs the protection of the White Tower. The appearance of the guide is the only antidote for him.

Haven't you thought about it? If Jiashi overcomes his weakness of mental pollution, he can even surpass Hector and become the first. Who do you think he is pretending to be pitiful now? "

Feng Heng hesitated, "But on the flying ship that day, and even after she came back, she acted like she didn't care about Jiashi at all."

"I thought you met her on the deserted planet, and at least you knew her better than I did. I didn't expect it to be just like this." Qiaxi said quietly, and sure enough, she saw Feng Heng's face darken, so she chuckled. The mood that was previously made irritable by Lu Zhizhi actually improved after seeing Feng Heng suffer a setback.

Chashi said, “Why do you think she marked Gashi?”

"Of course it's because Jiashi always harasses her and does things to her at every turn." Feng Heng swallowed the word "estrus" and said, "She just wants to control Jiashi, the mad dog."

Qiasi suddenly laughed out loud and shook his head, "You always like to underestimate her."

He opened the drawer and chose cigarettes over candy.

Nicotine temporarily relieved Qiasi's tired nerves. He held the cigarette in one hand and turned the screen to face Feng Heng.

The screen showed surveillance footage from the purification room. Feng Heng saw that Jiashi, who had been staying indoors all this time, was now walking towards Lu Zhizhi, and it was obvious that Jiashi had gone berserk.

He immediately asked anxiously: "Are you just going to just watch and do nothing?"

Qiasi leaned back in his chair and smoked. He stared at the surveillance screen, the light in his eyes flickering. "Whoever intervenes now will ruin her plan."

Feng Heng was startled and looked at the screen, only to see Lu Zhizhi sitting on a chair, watching Jiashi approaching. She could order Jiashi to stay where he was or go back immediately with just a word.

But she didn't.

She just sat there quietly, seemingly waiting.

Until Jiashi came over and grabbed her neck hard with both hands.

Feng Heng was about to rush out to help Lu Zhizhi, but Qia Xi stopped him: "Why don't you just go and watch first."

He turned around and saw in the picture that Lu Zhizhi was almost suffocated by Jiashi, but in the next second she slowly raised her hand and placed it on his forehead. However, this time there was no golden light under her palm, but she was constantly absorbing the turbid energy in Jiashi's mind.

"What is she doing?" Feng Heng's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Qiaxi looked at Lu Zhizhi in the picture, lowered his eyes and sighed, with an unrelieved heartache in his eyes, "She is using her own special ability to absorb all the mental pollution accumulated by Jiashi over the years into her own body. This method can only be used when the sentinel is in a rampage state."

"So she deliberately ignored Jiashi and deliberately angered him just to help him get rid of his pain completely." Feng Heng stared at the surveillance footage in a daze. His heart suddenly felt sore and unbearable that even his stomach felt churned.
