Gu Jianlin was prepared to be questioned, but he didn't expect to be asked this kind of question.
He unconsciously picked up the tea set on the table and played with it, and his thoughts once again drifted to the sea of eternity many days ago. That charming dream was not an illusion, but something that really happened at the soul level.
Ever since he entered the extraordinary world, he has always been wandering on the edge of life and death. He has never been able to ensure his own safety, so he will not consider emotional issues and repeat his father's mistakes. I just didn't expect that after going through so many things, I still incurred a huge love debt.
Yue Ji is force majeure, the person who accompanied him before he entered the extraordinary world.
Having been with him like a shadow for so many years, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
As for Lei Ting, they were originally close comrades-in-arms.
We all had an agreement to commit our lives to each other, but in the end we were tricked.
It would be very awkward if we meet again now.
It’s all Xu Fu’s fault.
"I know you have learned your father's lesson. Are you afraid that the girl you like will become a widow after you die? I think you don't have to worry about this problem. The future of this world is entrusted to a few young people. If If these people die, then humanity will undoubtedly be subverted in the catastrophe of the doomsday."
Ji Zhou glanced at him and said lightly: "And you happen to be one of them."
Gu Jianlin's hand holding the tea cup trembled like an electric shock. He didn't expect that he was so important.
When I thought about it, it seemed like it was the only amphibious creature he had now.
It would be nonsense if it has no impact on the future of the world.
"The world will be destroyed, and your girls are no exception, so you have to have a correct mentality. Life is short, enjoy yourself in the moment. Tell her who you like, and do whatever you want to do. If there is anything If you want to kill someone, do it quickly, don't wait for your enemy to die of old age."
When Ji Zhou said this, a rare trace of nostalgia flashed through her majestic and cold eyes. The sunlight outside the window reflected deep in her pupils, seeming to illuminate the old days buried deep in her memory.
Four hundred years passed in her eyes. Her voice was so majestic and murderous, and her tone was as stern and arrogant as ever, but she sounded lonely as time flew by.
It makes people feel moved.
Gu Jianlin tasted these words carefully and was slightly startled.
"You haven't thought about this because you have never lived for yourself."
Ji Zhou looked at him deeply: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Gu Jianlin held it in for a long time and didn't know how to answer: "Is she... okay?"
Ji Zhou sneered: "Looking at your potential, what happened has happened. Being a boy has indeed given you an advantage. Regardless of her talent and status, at least she is still very beautiful. But if you just look at Instead of profit, she took advantage of you, and she wouldn’t be able to survive without your blood.”
Gu Jianlin said quietly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Don't you know that in the supernatural world, spiritual union is often more significant than real union? In ancient times, once souls merged, it was considered a lifelong commitment, at least in our time. This tradition To this day, it has not changed.”
Ji Zhou said earnestly: "That's why I asked you whether you enjoy it? If the blending of your souls is smooth, it proves that you have already developed feelings for each other, otherwise it will not be so smooth."
Gu Jianlin felt that his expression looked like a clown.
"Looking at your expression, I know exactly what's going on."
Ji Zhou's expression was calm and he continued to deal critical blows: "No wonder Lei Lei is determined to identify you when she returns from the Sea of Eternal Life. Even if she thinks you are dead, she will remain a widow for you."
Lord Qilin was killed.
At this moment, Gu Jianlin hoped so much that this senior was deceiving him. Unfortunately, as a proficient profiler, he could tell at a glance whether someone close to him was lying to him.
Senior Ji didn't lie to him. There probably was such a rule in the extraordinary world.
How could this happen? The comradeship is really going to deteriorate now.
It would have been awkward the next time we met.
After knowing this, it was even more embarrassing.
Gu Jianlin put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little headache.
"Even if you don't realize it yourself, you do have feelings for her. It's not surprising. She is talented and beautiful, but has a cold personality but only looks at you differently. Anyone who meets her will like her. You are not a stone. My heart is just slow in this regard.”
Ji Zhou asked softly: "Are you going to accept her?"
Gu Jianlin's scalp was numb and he said helplessly: "It's okay for you to ask me to fight with others. I really don't know how to fall in love. If anyone wants to be harmful to her, of course I will kill him. Whatever she wants, I will try my best to help her get it. I hope she can live a safe and happy life."
A smile appeared on Ji Zhou's lips: "Isn't this enough?"
Gu Jianlin was stunned.
“Peace and joy are mostly a luxury.”
Ji Zhou looked at the cherry blossoms flying in the courtyard and said with emotion: "Being together does not mean having children every day. Moving forward together on a common road is also a good way to get along. For Lei Lei, her kind The level of existence is not as good as yours, but it is already the only alien in human history."
Gu Jianlin's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Senior Ji had indeed understood.
His special features cannot be hidden from these quasi-supreme level experts.
"Today's Thunder must take the path of the president. She must control the greatest power and power in the world in order to ensure her own safety. What will happen to a noble young lioness who is left alone?"
Ji Zhou glanced at him.
"Probably he was besieged to death by greedy hyenas, right?"
Gu Jianlin said softly.
Thunder's existence is already an alien. If she cannot become the leader of the world of order, then her existence will become a threat, and some people may even want to take away her power and cultivate the next her.
The next ruler of order will not allow her to exist.
No matter where she hides, people will come to her door, and she will never have peace.
Thinking of this, Gu Jianlin's eyes became cold and hard.
"Thunder has no way out."
Ji Zhou laughed at himself and said: "This is also the incompetence of us elders. We will not survive the day when the disaster strikes, so we can only place all our bets on you children."
Old Master Si tremblingly served the fragrant Qingxin tea, turned around respectfully and left.
Ji Zhou picked up the tea, took a sip, and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and asked seriously: "What are you apologizing for?"
Ji Zhou said lightly: "Don't you know everything about what happened to Lei Lei? This is the person chosen by the President. As the price of living, she must bear the burden of the world. The Ether Association did something to a little girl Such a cruel and inhumane experiment is indeed unworthy of morality."
Gu Jianlin silently stared at her side face. This majestic and cool woman didn't seem so majestic in the sunshine. Even though she was so beautiful that she had a sense of twilight.
It was the fatigue and sadness accumulated over time, as mellow as the fragrance of tea, and inexplicably making people feel sad.
"If this is the case, you don't need to apologize. Instead, we want to thank you."
Gu Jianlin said seriously: "Especially the president."
Ji Zhou glanced at him in surprise.
"It was true that I was ignorant in the past and always thought that the big shots did nothing. But the fact is that you have shouldered too much in the darkness. It is obviously the evil done by the Hermitage, but you have to bear it on yourselves."
Gu Jianlin said calmly: "Frieda's schizophrenia syndrome is not a natural disease, but a man-made experimental sequelae. Thunder's problem is not natural, but man-made. The inside of the Ether Association has been penetrated Yes, the experiment of transplanting flowers and grafting trees has been carried out secretly more than ten years ago."
He stated all the facts in the calmest tone, without any expression from beginning to end: "The reason why the Ether Association does not openly recognize the existence of the Hermitage is because the order must be impeccable, so that the whole world can be convinced and suppress those who An ambitious hero."
"If the Priory is publicly recognized, then the order will have weaknesses. Those who want to counterattack the order will be ready to take action, and the world will usher in unimaginable turmoil."
He paused: "Lei Lei is not the only one in the Order World who has this kind of problem. You did not choose to make it public, but conducted investigations secretly. Lei Lei was definitely not the experimental subject you selected, but because she did not accept subsequent experiments, It’s impossible to live at all. In order to conceal this matter, only the president personally came forward to bear all the evil. This is the helplessness of a monarch, and it is also the responsibility of a monarch."
This is what he found out at that biotech company.
It was then that he learned the truth about the President.
Ji Zhou paused slightly with his hand in the air.
"I guess this was done quite secretly, even the two vice-presidents may not know about it."
Gu Jianlin stared at her side face and continued: "Including Tang Zijing and Gu Cian, their missions are also voluntary. They are willing martyrs, not the victims of the President."
Ji Zhou was silent for a long time and drank the hot tea in his cup silently.
She sighed and smiled to herself.
"Little guy, you have grown up."
How the boy knew these things, she no longer cared.
He always has his own way, this is his ability.
It was just the first time in so many years that someone could understand her thoughts.
Over the years, some people have said that she is cruel, others have said that she is stupid, others think that she is cold-blooded, and even more people think that she is stuck in her ways, and some even want to replace her.
As the king of a world of order, of course she could ignore those rumors.
A true monarch is truly incompetent if he can be understood by everyone.
But, does she really not care?
The loneliness at those nights, the loneliness when it was cold at high places, the sourness when going against the world, the struggle and sorrow when sitting on the chair of power, the comrades who once fought side by side left one after another.
What she has done most in these years is to go to the cemetery of the Central Lingshu Yuan, lay a flower in front of the tombstone of an old friend, hold an old Buddhist scripture, and watch the locust flowers fall on the river bank, which lasts a whole day.
She didn't even have anyone to whom she could speak her true words.
"Everyone lives with a mask."
Gu Jianlin said softly: "Have you never lived for yourself?"
Some people think his lifestyle is hard and cruel to themselves.
In fact, he didn't think so.
Because there are people who are suffering more than him.
The President has probably not lived a single day for himself in the past four hundred years.
What right does he have to complain?
This may be the real reason why Senior Ji still doesn’t want to reveal his identity.
The President is the President.
Ji Zhou is Ji Zhou.
She took off her mask to get along with herself.
Even if Gu Jianlin guessed her true identity, he didn't want to expose it.
"I don't know what my future with her will be like, but I'm committed to you."
Gu Jianlin said seriously: "I will protect her at all costs. I will kill anyone who wants to harm her. I will ensure that she sits in that position and inherits the mantle of president. If possible, I will protect her at all costs." After the incident is over, I also hope that she can find a new successor and live her own life."
His expression was serious: "Just like you said, do whatever you want."
quite a while.
Ji Zhou actually smiled for the first time.
Not a sneer, but a very gentle smile, like a glacier thawing and the sun melting snow.
"Then the enemy you have to face is not that simple."
She raised her lips with a playful arc and said with a smile: "The president still has three months at most. The entire world of order is ready to move, and some people can no longer hold back."
Gu Jianlin was surprised.
The turmoil within the Ether Association will definitely break out after the death of the president.
This is inevitable.
But he didn't expect it to be so fast!
"Didn't I get the eternal bone back?"
he said in surprise.
"Silly boy."
Ji Zhou held his hand and smiled: "Without your immortal bone, the president would be dead."
Gu Jianlin's pupils suddenly contracted.
It seems that something else happened in the Sea of Eternal Life.
Even as strong as Skylark, he was seriously injured and lost his memory.
The President is even on the line between life and death.
"Next I want to tell you a secret, a secret that few people know."
Ji Zhou actually took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to his lips.
Gu Jianlin was puzzled. This piece of candy was actually a very common rock candy.
No one eats it anymore, it is usually used for cooking.
Just in the sunlight, this piece of rock candy is so crystal clear and glowing with countless strands of light.
"I grew up in a temple four hundred years ago. At that time, there was war, natural and man-made disasters, and many people starved to death. There was an old monk in the temple who took in us orphans and taught us how to practice. At that time, When we were naughty or mischievous, he would give each of us a piece of candy."
Ji Zhou said calmly: "Before listening to the lecture, eat a piece of candy first, and the children will be quieter."
Gu Jianlin said suspiciously: "Is this tradition?"
Ji Zhou hummed, with a hint of nostalgia in his smile: "After eating this piece of candy, I will treat you as my child, and I can secretly tell you some secrets."
Gu Jianlin took the rock candy and put it in his mouth. The sweetness filled the air and it was quite delicious.
Ji Zhou stared at him and didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that the rock candy melted in his mouth.
"Now I'm going to tell you how the Priory came to be."
She was like an old man telling a story to a child at home. She stared at the sunshine outside the window and said softly: "Including where the inheritance of the Ether Association comes from, as well as the split and turmoil in the past two hundred years, the true story of Qing and Red's rebellion. The reason is all because...the ancient gods have never been invaders of the earth."
