Take a break! All the stars for the only guide

Chapter 69 Dog Training

Lu Zhizhi is not full of sympathy, nor is she a saint. She has no intention of saving anyone, but she has seen Jiashi's past and feels that at least one person should understand why he has become what he is today. In order to avoid pain and find a fulcrum and reason to live, he actually made a lot of efforts, but in those days when he saw no hope, no one ever helped him.

She knew at a very young age that kindness is not unconditional and has no bottom line. Her brother told her to protect her kindness and not let it be exploited, and she has always remembered this.

So Lu Zhizhi said to Jiashi: "I can help you purify regularly, but the method, time and place are determined by me. If you accept it, let me go now and get along with me like a normal person."

After she finished speaking, she saw Jiashi was silent, his eyes flickering, making it hard to tell what he was thinking. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why?"

Lu Zhizhi said: "I am a guide. It is my responsibility to relieve the pain of the sentinels."

Jiashi looked at her for a while, took her off his legs, tidied her clothes, then silently took two steps away, keeping a certain social distance from her.

"Then why did you ignore me no matter how hard I tried to please you?"

"Jiashi, that's not flattery." Lu Zhizhi looked at him seriously and said, "That's threatening, attacking, and forcing. Everything you do makes me hate it."

Jiashi's eyes trembled, then he lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a very soft voice: "Then can you teach me?"

He looked at Lu Zhizhi, his heart pounding, his throat dry with nervousness, "Can you teach me how to please you?"

Lu Zhizhi sighed softly, walked over and touched Jiashi's head symbolically, "I can't teach you, because people can't live to please others. Jiashi, everything in the past is in the past, you have to find the meaning of your own existence, I know it sounds big, but it can be any reason."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, afraid that he didn't understand, and said, "Take me for example. I have to live no matter what, so I dare not let others know that I am infected. Even if one day, I really become an alien beast, I will live as an alien beast."

Jiashi listened quietly, his expression more serious than ever before. He asked, "Why?"

"Because if I die, no one will remember my brother anymore."

Before turning into a zombie, the brother told Lu Zhizhi that people are not really dead after death, but have gone to another world. Only when the last person who remembers him dies, is he truly dead.

So if Lu Zhizhi wants her brother to "live" longer, then she herself must work hard to live longer and always remember her brother.

Jiashi thought that the brother she was referring to was Lu Yuan. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Any reason will do?"

"Of course, the reason could be to live so that you can eat your favorite ice cream as many times as you want, or to keep meeting the people you want to meet, or it could simply be to make yourself live a good life and be rich. In short, you will definitely find a reason to keep living."

She looked into Gashi's eyes and said with a smile, "Gashi, come out of the darkness, and you will find that there are many things worth looking forward to."

When Jiashi heard this, his heart trembled, and a warm and soft feeling flowed through his limbs. He looked at her eyes, her hair, her kind smile, her pink fingertips, and an emotion he had never experienced before made him tremble unconsciously, sometimes tense, sometimes loose.

It was not the pain he was familiar with, nor the pleasure he pursued, but a more complex, advanced and profound emotion. This emotion made Jiashi feel unfamiliar. He didn't know why he was like this. He only knew that he wanted to listen to her from now on and do whatever she said. No one could bully her, not even himself.

If Lu Zhizhi asked him at this time, what is the reason for your life? Jiashi thought he would answer: It's you.

But Lu Zhizhi didn't ask.

She has never liked to worry about other people. Even when she helped Jiashi, she only did what she could. She didn't care about anything more.

Then, she asked Jiashi to help her restore her mental strength, and he did so obediently, and did not take the opportunity to touch her again, nor did he mention the terms of the transaction. After that, Lu Zhizhi was sweating all over, her brows were furrowed, and she looked a little weak. Jiashi's condition was not much better, but he still had a pale face and smiled at her, like a dog waiting for praise.

"My power is too overbearing. It can only repair 3% at most each time. If it exceeds this limit, you will feel uncomfortable." said Jiashi.

Lu Zhizhi tried to release her mental power, and saw a golden ball of light leaping at her fingertips. Although it was much weaker than before, she was already very satisfied.

Jiashi's spiritual ability can supply energy to her, but it is not directly converted into spiritual power. This power enters Lu Zhizhi's spiritual sea and is automatically filtered into spiritual power. After passing through the guide's special genes, it has spiritual power with a purifying effect.

Lu Zhizhi sent the faint light ball into Jiashi's brow, and saw that his breathing became heavier, and the expression between his eyebrows gradually relaxed, and even his eyes became soft. He couldn't help but want to reach out to hug her, but when he was halfway, he remembered that she didn't like it, so he took it back embarrassedly and touched his nose.

"Can you give me a reward?" asked Jiashi.

Lu Zhizhi rubbed his head perfunctorily and said, "Good dog."

Jiashi smiled and took the opportunity to say, "I also deleted your report in the inspection cabin. This is the only original copy left." He handed the report to Lu Zhizhi as if he was presenting a treasure.

Lu Zhizhi opened it and saw a line of conclusions:

Current status: Unmutated.

Infection level: 65%.

Probability of mutation: 99.9%.

Euthanasia by injection is recommended.

When she saw the last line, her blood ran cold.

This is not a simple physical report, but a sentence.

This report proves that all of Lu Zhizhi's previous concerns were correct. Once people knew that she was infected, it would be tantamount to death.

Only then did she truly understand the true meaning of what Gashi said that night in the castle: "Infection means death."

Xingxing's attitude and tough approach towards alien beasts made Lu Zhizhi shudder.

This is why she tried every means to conceal the fact that she had not recovered her mental strength. Firstly, it was because she already had a secret, and secondly, she was afraid of being diagnosed with an infection, but these were not the most important things.

What she feared even more was that once the White Tower or the command center discovered that her mental strength could not be restored, she would be a hollow guide who could do nothing. Would the White Tower still have room for a worthless guide?
She removed the page from the report and burned it, then gave it to Chasi.

After coming out of Qiaxi's office, Lu Zhizhi was still a little worried. Jiashi accompanied her quietly throughout the whole process. When they parted, she suddenly remembered something.

"When are you going to get that android away? I don't need it."

Jiashi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What bionic man?"
