Chapter 64 Wash away the mark
Ever since they said goodbye to each other in the capital, Jiang Ci had never thought that on the day when he saw He Zhun again, the two of them would meet in such a scene.
He Zhun was still wearing his familiar white coat, with short soft chestnut hair, and a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Everything seemed to have remained unchanged, but it made Jiang Ci feel like he was in another world.
He clearly realized that there seemed to be something different about He Zhun.
Jiang Ci quietly stared at the other person's slightly bent eyebrows at this moment, and suddenly recalled a long, long time ago——
In the yellowed memories, the man with a blurred face pushed the other older child in front of Jiang Ci.
[Ah Ci, this is brother He Zhun. He will live with us from now on.]
At that time, the nine-year-old He Zhun showed him a soft and slightly shy smile, and carefully showed his kindness.
[Hello, Ah Ci.]
That smile overlapped with He Zhun's face at this moment, as if nothing had changed, but also as if everything had changed.
However, the young Jiang Ci's response to He Zhun at the time was that he silently ate the last bite of the cake, then picked up the plate without saying a word.
"Bang -" He Zhun's head was smashed and his head was bleeding.
Surprisingly, He Zhun, who was only nine years old, did not cry or even cry out in pain. He just subconsciously covered his bleeding forehead immediately.
Just like... now -
He Zhun's first reaction after being injured was always to hide the wound and then pretend as if nothing had happened.
Of course, later on, Jiang Ci was severely reprimanded by her father, slapped on the palm of her hand, and made to kneel for a day, and finally cried and apologized to He Zhun.
He Zhun was brought back to the Jiang family by Jiang Jinsheng when he was nine years old. Jiang Ci was only four years old at that time.
The eldest child He Zhun, who was suddenly brought back by Jiang Jinsheng, was initially hated by Jiang Ci because Jiang Jinsheng seemed to care about and love him.
He Zhun is obedient and sweet-tongued, but Jiang Ci is taciturn and has a bad temper.
He Zhun could freely enter and leave Jiang Jinsheng's most precious laboratory, but Jiang Ci could not.
Some people even said that He Zhun might be Jiang Jin's illegitimate son born outside. Just like Mr. Jiang back then, didn't he also have an illegitimate son named Zhou Jiuya outside?
…
All in all, everything made the young and sensitive omega child feel a great threat and grievance, and he regarded He Zhun as his number one imaginary enemy for a long time.
Therefore, Jiang Ci launched an attack on the enemy who tried to steal his father when they met for the first time.
Later, this incident became the only thing Jiang Ci regretted in his memory.
Less than a year after He Zhun came to the Jiang family, Jiang Jin passed away, and Jiang Ci's custody rights were handed over to Zhou Jiuya.But regardless of the inhuman existence of Xiao X, it was He Zhun who spent the most time with Jiang Ci.
——Because Zhou Jiuya is too busy.
Since the dissolution of the Alliance and the establishment of the Empire, the Church and the Empire have been in a delicate state.But in the human kingdom, there are not only two pure forces left. There are also some third-party small planetary countries that take the opportunity to become independent.
Therefore, frictions and wars, large and small, continued for a long time. It was not until Jiang Ci grew up and started attending middle school that the situation in the four realms finally stabilized.
Zhou Jiuya had always wanted to try his best to take over his brother's role and play the role of a father, but in fact he was unable to do so.It's not just because he is busy, but because he is the illegitimate son of the Jiang family. He has never felt true father's love since he can remember.
Therefore, the legion leader has no idea what a correct or normal father should look like.
Moreover, he is single and straight, and he has spent most of his life in a military camp with a group of rough alphas. He does not know how to take care of a delicate and sensitive omega child.
Whenever he wanted to express his concern, he was always in a hurry and ended up in an extremely embarrassing situation.
As a child, Jiang Ci was not a clingy and talkative character.Because Jiang Jinsheng was also very busy when he was still alive, sometimes even busier than Zhou Jiuya.
He stayed in the laboratory all day long, exactly like the image of the most glorious and positive scientist written in history textbooks who worked hard for the country and dedicated his life to the country.
Therefore, this also led to the fact that the young master of the Jiang family who was envied by outsiders and who should be loved in every way, actually had no idea how to be a child who could act coquettishly and be loved.
He is taciturn, cold and withdrawn, unable to communicate or express himself. He spends most of his time holding Little X in his arms and choosing a small corner to hide in the huge Jiang family mansion.
——Until he is found.
To be precise, he was found by He Zhun.
[Ah Ci,]
The handsome boy stretched out his hand towards him, his eyebrows curved in a gentle arc.
[Are you playing hide and seek with me again?]
[…]
Even when Jiang Ci was kidnapped that year, He Zhun was the first to find him.
Day after day, month after year, Jiang Ci finally reconciled completely with his number one imaginary enemy, and brought the other party into his most secret and softest realm.
So in the end, Jiang Ci was able to go to Tiandong Star alone for He Zhun in his weakest physical state.They completely ignored principles, military regulations, and the law to protect him and find ways to commute his sentence.
Because in a sense, it is not wrong to say that Jiang Ci was brought up by He Zhun.
Although Jiang Ci always called him "He Zhun" and "He Zhun", as the two grew up, their relationship was more like brothers than friends.
He Zhun seems to have a somewhat careless personality and is unreliable, but in essence, in Jiang Ci's heart, He Zhun has always played the role of a gentle and infinitely tolerant older brother.
It is an indispensable existence.
So at this moment——
When Jiang Ci discovered with his own eyes this dark and painful secret that belonged to He Zhun, the first thing that emerged in his heart was not extreme shock or anger at being deceived, but deep self-blame and sadness..
He blamed himself for the shadow and pain that he had never noticed, which was buried deep in his heart.
"He Zhun,"
Jiang Ci walked out slowly and opened his mouth. It took a few seconds to find his dry voice.
"What... did he mean just now?"
Jiang Ci heard everything, including Badhua's humiliation of He Zhun.
If it weren't for the fact that killing the other party rashly might put He Zhun in danger, Jiang Ci would have taken action just now.
"Ah...you heard me."
He Zhun lowered his eyes and suddenly chuckled, sighing like a brother.
"Our Aci has also reached this age."
But he didn't intend to say anything more. Even at this time, he said in the same joking tone as before,
"But it's so embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing. I'd better not listen to the specifics."
"..."
Jiang Ci pursed her lips, but did not ask further questions, but changed the topic.
"You did invent a new type of inhibitor that is harmless to the body, but it's not extracted from rose flowers, right?"
In fact, when He Zhun first told about Zhi Meihua, Jiang Ci had doubts. His sharp military nerves made him immediately touch on countless weird doubts, but in the end, Jiang Ci still believed He Zhun's words.
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe it. But I believe you are really doing it for me...for my sake, you would not hesitate to touch the Empire's forbidden objects to create a new type of inhibitor."
Jiang Ci has always thought this way, and has never had any doubts about He Zhun's motives.
That's why he went to Tiandong Star, in the way he hated most, pretending to be a commodity coveted by countless people and entering the auction. He wanted to find out the origin of Zhi Meihua and the mastermind behind it, so as to find a way to congratulate him.Quasi-reduction of sentence.
Even when he was blocked in the alley by countless alphas in heat, Jiang Ci never blamed He Zhun.
"It's true... Ah Ci, you are still as naive as ever."
He Zhun smiled and shook his head.
When he decided to lure Jiang Ci to Tiandong Star, He Zhun had foreseen that he and Jiang Ci would turn against each other, but he did not expect how the other party would behave when the fragile, tissue-like deception was exposed.But it was completely different from what he imagined.
"I thought you would immediately doubt me and report me. At least...you should question me a few times. But I didn't expect that you really didn't doubt me at all, and you went to heaven very obediently.Winter Star.”
Having said this, He Zhun paused and let out a cold sigh,
"——It's just a pity."
"In order for you to attract the attention of Zhou Jiuyao and Ye Shu, it was in vain that I spent so much effort and exposed the identity that I had hidden for so long."
The smile on Dr. He's face gradually faded.
"The appearance of that alpha and Leinster's incompetence were something I didn't expect. Otherwise, the core of the Forbidden Abyss would not still be in your hands now."
"..."
It turns out that this is the purpose.
It turns out that this is the calculation.
Jiang Ci closed his eyes deeply.
He couldn't explain exactly what he felt at this moment. In fact, during their last communication on Tiandong Star, he had already had doubts in his heart. However, he did not have the courage to question He Zhun.
Once something is said, there is no turning back.
"Why……"
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white and trembling.Because I needed to fight, I didn't leave my nails on, but I still felt pain due to the extreme force.
The final questioning was still unavoidable, and even became more acute due to delay and avoidance.
"Why do you do this?"
Jiang Ci couldn't find a reason, not even a reluctant motive.
But He Zhun said,
"Because this place can give me the best research equipment and materials, and I can do everything that is not allowed by the empire..."
"——Are you still treating me as a fool, He Zhun?!!"
Jiang Ci finally couldn't calm down any longer. He stepped forward and clutched He Zhun's collar tightly.
How could it be for such a shallow reason?!
How could it be this...ridiculous reason?
When he was extremely angry, even the medicine that concealed the color of his eyes was somewhat ineffective, and an explosive red color like magma emerged from the depths of those brown eyes.
"——I'm asking you why you are here!!!"
"Why are you with these disgusting guys?!"
“Why do you want to help people in the church?!!”
When he said this, he suddenly paused, as if his breath was suddenly choked and choked. After a few seconds, he made a hard and trembling voice,
"Why...let them hurt you?"
"Why... lie to me?"
"..."
He Zhun stared at him quietly without explaining. After being silent for a long time, he asked softly,
"You look so angry, do you even want to hit me?"
"..."
……also?
Jiang Ci's extremely angry expression suddenly froze, and he saw the loose gap of He Zhun's collar, which was lined with bruises and almost black finger marks.
At this moment, Jiang Ci let go of He Zhun's collar almost like an electric shock. For a moment, he couldn't help but tighten the corners of his lips, showing an expression of distress that made him want to cry.
"Speak carefully... He Zhun..."
Jiang Ci gently pressed his shoulders and tried his best to calm down his tone, but still couldn't calm down his chaotic thoughts.
"Please... talk to me carefully... no matter what your difficulties are, no matter what you..."
"——No hard reasons."
He Zhun pushed him away slowly and unwillingly, with a look of indifference on his face that Jiang Ci had never seen before.
"Jiang Ci, this is the end of the love story between lovers. You and I have never been the same person."
"You are just lucky enough to become a willful young master who is envied by everyone, comes from a wealthy family, and is loved by everyone."
"I've actually always hated you."
"From the first moment I met you, I hated you."
"..."
Jiang Ci stood there blankly, as if the blood all over his body had gone cold at this moment.
"Do you still remember the first time we met? At that time, you lived in the Jiang family's luxurious mansion, surrounded by circles of maids. You were so aloof that you even smashed my small dinner plate.They are all priceless.”
He Zhun slowly told the most unbearable evil thoughts and darkness in his heart, and turned it into a sharp dagger, ruthlessly crushing the most precious and fragile thing between them.
"Jiang Ci, your existence itself,"
He said word by word,
"It just makes me feel infinite jealousy and disgust."
"..."
Is this the truth?
So it turns out that He Zhun has always thought like this for so many years?
Jiang Ci desperately wanted to deny it, but couldn't find a reason.
——Because it makes perfect sense in a literal sense.
Whether it is based on reason or emotion, it is very reasonable.Because human jealousy is one of the most terrifying things in the world.
Jiang Ci heard the other party sneer,
"But, who told you to be Jiang Jinsheng's son?"
"The father of imperial technology, the top master of mecha manufacturing, and the most trusted supporter of Marshal Huo Chao, Jiang Ci, the man who has long been blurred in your memory, even if he died, he still left behind many, many secrets."
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire is your father's best friend, the Legion Commander of the First Legion is your uncle, and even the City Lord of Tiandong Star has been silently paying attention to your growth for so many years..."
He Zhun finally took off the friendly mask, revealing a cold and cruel look in his eyes.
"You see, if I stay by your side, I can get in touch with so many big people and get the best educational and scientific research resources in the empire. Even if I have a hold of you, I can easily contain so many big people."
"If it weren't for these reasons, why do you think I have to endure it for so many years and treat the people I hate the most in vain?"
"..."
The person I hate the most... is he making excuses?
Jiang Ci closed his eyes deeply.
At this moment, he finally realized clearly that Jiang Ci had never been Jiang Ci. From the moment he was born until now, in everyone's eyes, he was just Jiang Jinsheng's son.
——Not even independent, can be called a separate human individual.
It's just one that can be used to exploit the weaknesses and weaknesses of those big shots.
He is the best breakthrough point for all conspiracies.
"So He Zhun, after so many years..."
Jiang Ci stared at the extremely familiar yet suddenly unfamiliar face in front of her, her eyes turning slightly red.
"Every word you say to me and everything you do is derived from...use and conspiracy?"
"...Why, wasn't what I said clear enough?"
He Zhun opened the corners of his lips and mocked mercilessly,
"Sure enough, omegas are creatures with delicate minds, softness, and sensitivity. They are very gullible and are quite blind and stupid when it comes to emotional issues."
At this time, he suddenly came closer, put one hand on Jiang Ci's shoulder, then turned his head slightly, and leaned close to the other person's ear,
"Moreover, they easily and irresistibly succumb to the physiological control of alpha. It seems that you are no exception, Jiang Ci."
He Zhun touched the tooth marks on the back of Jiang Ci's neck, lowered his head and sniffed, and sneered in his ear,
"How long has it been? With such strong pheromones, are you already falling in love with him?"
"..."
Probably the people closest to you know how to stab the knife where it hurts the most.
Jiang Ci understood the meaning behind all his words——
He Zhun first severed the family relationship between the two of them for so many years, and then denied Jiang Ci's significance as an independent and self-respecting individual.
In the end, the concept of omega gender and physiological control, which Jiang Ci was most sensitive to and cared about most, completely overturned the emotions that he, as a person, could have and possess.
Whether it is family affection, love, or even the meaning of being an independent individual, they must be completely denied.
This set of rhetoric was very meticulous and advanced layer by layer. It almost targeted every weakness that Jiang Ci cared about most. Hitting any one at will would arouse the explosive anger of the Major General.
It looks like it has been carefully prepared. For others, it may take repeated deliberation and careful consideration to achieve such a perfect attack effect, but for a smart person like He Zhun, it is actually not easy to say such a heartfelt statement temporarily.Not impossible.
Jiang Ci closed his eyes deeply, and for a moment, his face showed an expression as if he was drowning and suffocating.
But that look was fleeting, and soon became as calm as dead water.His harsh voice said slowly,
"Do you really...hate me so much, He Zhun?"
"Don't think too highly of yourself, Jiang Ci,"
He Zhun pushed him away coldly,
"You are just a tool that I will throw away after I use it. Why are you talking about hatred?"
The young man's tone was somewhat imperceptibly irritable.
"Do you think this is still the territory of the empire? There is a military commander who will protect you and you can do whatever you want? Wake up Jiang Ci, the end result of you, an omega, appearing here is to be eaten to the bone by those people.No more left!”
He Zhun held Jiang Ci's wrist tightly.
"If you know what's going on, hand over the core of the Forbidden Abyss as soon as possible. Maybe I can reluctantly show you a way out."
"..."
Jiang Ci didn't speak. He suddenly realized something was wrong.
boom!
At this moment, the originally closed door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and Bahuad led a group of high-ranking believers in.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the brotherly love is so deep, I almost cried when I heard it outside."
"..."
Damn it!
He Zhun closed his eyes suddenly without showing any unexpected expression, but his breathing rate was obviously disordered at this moment.
After all, even he could detect Jiang Ci's existence, how could Badhua not notice it.
Badhua's dark eyes were fixed on Jiang Ci's face, looking at him wantonly, as if confirming something.
After a moment, the man sneered maliciously,
"It's been such a long time no see. That milky omega kid from back then has grown up."
Jiang Ci's pupils shrank suddenly.
He finally knew why he felt familiar when he heard this man's voice just now——
[I have to say that Jiang Jinsheng has done so many disgusting things, but the only thing that makes me slightly happy is that he has an omega son.]
In the dark and damp basement, the man gripped the silver-haired boy's hair and took a deep breath:
[This kid still smells like milk, but it smells much better than those betas.]
Badwa…
——The person who kidnapped him together with Leinster!!!
"White Pond!!!"
choke!
In the flash of lightning, Jiang Ci did not hesitate at all, and directly grabbed the deformed spear in the air and stabbed Badhua straight into it.He is now surrounded. If he waits any longer, he will only become more passive. Now he can only seize the opportunity when he is unprepared.
In an instant, Badhua's pupils tightened and he narrowly dodged. The sharp spearhead narrowly missed the side of the man's face.
At this moment, Badhua twitched the tip of his nose, his face suddenly changed, and he noticed something extremely terrifying and fierce. The strange alpha's pheromones were like a furious beast, roaring to declare his sovereignty.
"Damn, who marked you?!"
What answered him was a sharp silver light.
Jiang Ci's close combat skills were taught by Zhou Jiuya step by step. Although he is an omega, his fighting style is fast and fierce, and every shot is like thunder.
But after all, Baddewa had more experience in combat. He took out a dark scimitar and brought out piercing lightning with almost every strike. In just a few seconds, the two sides fought for more than ten rounds.A single collision will cause a dazzling fire to burst out several meters away!
Almost everything around him was shattered in the blink of an eye by the air waves and electric sparks caused by the attack.
In such a fierce battle, the people around had no chance to intervene.
But the space in this room limited Jiang Ci's performance after all. In addition, Badhua knew Zhou Jiuya's fighting style too well, so he was still better in the end.
boom!
The silver gun was flicked away, causing Jiang Ci's abdomen to hurt. He hit the wall violently, causing a violent collapse. There was a bloody knife mark on his arm.
The next second, Jiang Ci felt that all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away.
His pupils suddenly dilated.
——It’s an intoxicating drug!
The next second, there was a violent tug on his scalp, and the other party grabbed his hair again.
boom!!!
That big hand pinned Jiang Ci to the ground.
"stop!!!"
He Zhun's pupils shrank and he suddenly shouted loudly.
Badhua turned his head, as if he had grasped something against He Zhun, his eyes instantly became proud and sharp.
"how?"
He Zhun could hardly hold back his expression at this moment. He stared at Jiang Ci who was pressed to the ground with a face full of pain. He tried his best to calm down and only said,
"...The core of the Forbidden Abyss is in his hands, take it back first."
The core of the Forbidden Abyss is placed together with the core of Bai Ze, and it is always warmed and charged by Baize's core.
"Ah, this is simple. Once a creature like an omega is marked, it will do whatever it wants."
"..."
He Zhun was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately realized what he wanted to do. His eyes widened to the extreme and he lunged forward.
"stop!!!"
However, it was too late at this moment, as the two white-robed cultists held He Zhun down tightly.
boom!!!
The young man's kneecap hit the ground hard, making a numbing sound.
"Badwa—!!!"
But He Zhun didn't care. He struggled wildly, his eyes were red and his canthus was about to burst.
"you dare!!!"
But at this moment, the man took out a needle and pierced the side of Jiang Ci's neck directly.
"Although I don't know which alpha marked him,"
Badwar stared at the medicine that was gradually injected, his pupils shrinking due to excessive excitement.
"But it's such a pity that it's just a temporary mark. It can just be washed off."
He stroked the omega's painful side face and whispered,
"You know Jiang Ci, when Zhou Jiuya destroyed my eye for you, I swore-"
"In this life, we must make his life worse than death..."
Chapter 64 Wash away the mark
Ever since they said goodbye to each other in the capital, Jiang Ci had never thought that on the day when he saw He Zhun again, the two of them would meet in such a scene.

In the yellowed memories, the man with a blurred face pushed the other older child in front of Jiang Ci.
[Ah Ci, this is brother He Zhun. He will live with us from now on.]
At that time, the nine-year-old He Zhun showed him a soft and slightly shy smile, and carefully showed his kindness.
[Hello, Ah Ci.]
That smile overlapped with He Zhun's face at this moment, as if nothing had changed, but also as if everything had changed.
However, the young Jiang Ci's response to He Zhun at the time was that he silently ate the last bite of the cake, then picked up the plate without saying a word.

[Are you playing hide and seek with me again?]

Day after day, month after year, Jiang Ci finally reconciled completely with his number one imaginary enemy, and brought the other party into his most secret and softest realm.

Jiang Ci finally couldn't calm down any longer. He stepped forward and clutched He Zhun's collar tightly.
How could it be for such a shallow reason?!
How could it be this...ridiculous reason?
When he was extremely angry, even the medicine that concealed the color of his eyes was somewhat ineffective, and an explosive red color like magma emerged from the depths of those brown eyes.
"——I'm asking you why you are here!!!"
"Why are you with these disgusting guys?!"
“Why do you want to help people in the church?!!”
When he said this, he suddenly paused, as if his breath was suddenly choked and choked. After a few seconds, he made a hard and trembling voice,
"Why...let them hurt you?"
"Why... lie to me?"
"..."
He Zhun stared at him quietly without explaining. After being silent for a long time, he asked softly,
"You look so angry, do you even want to hit me?"
"..."
……also?
Jiang Ci's extremely angry expression suddenly froze, and he saw the loose gap of He Zhun's collar, which was lined with bruises and almost black finger marks.
At this moment, Jiang Ci let go of He Zhun's collar almost like an electric shock. For a moment, he couldn't help but tighten the corners of his lips, showing an expression of distress that made him want to cry.
"Speak carefully... He Zhun..."
Jiang Ci gently pressed his shoulders and tried his best to calm down his tone, but still couldn't calm down his chaotic thoughts.
"Please... talk to me carefully... no matter what your difficulties are, no matter what you..."
"——No hard reasons."
He Zhun pushed him away slowly and unwillingly, with a look of indifference on his face that Jiang Ci had never seen before.
"Jiang Ci, this is the end of the love story between lovers. You and I have never been the same person."
"You are just lucky enough to become a willful young master who is envied by everyone, comes from a wealthy family, and is loved by everyone."
"I've actually always hated you."
"From the first moment I met you, I hated you."
"..."
Jiang Ci stood there blankly, as if the blood all over his body had gone cold at this moment.
"Do you still remember the first time we met? At that time, you lived in the Jiang family's luxurious mansion, surrounded by circles of maids. You were so aloof that you even smashed my small dinner plate.They are all priceless.”
He Zhun slowly told the most unbearable evil thoughts and darkness in his heart, and turned it into a sharp dagger, ruthlessly crushing the most precious and fragile thing between them.
"Jiang Ci, your existence itself,"
He said word by word,
"It just makes me feel infinite jealousy and disgust."
"..."
Is this the truth?
So it turns out that He Zhun has always thought like this for so many years?
Jiang Ci desperately wanted to deny it, but couldn't find a reason.
——Because it makes perfect sense in a literal sense.
Whether it is based on reason or emotion, it is very reasonable.Because human jealousy is one of the most terrifying things in the world.
Jiang Ci heard the other party sneer,
"But, who told you to be Jiang Jinsheng's son?"
"The father of imperial technology, the top master of mecha manufacturing, and the most trusted supporter of Marshal Huo Chao, Jiang Ci, the man who has long been blurred in your memory, even if he died, he still left behind many, many secrets."
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire is your father's best friend, the Legion Commander of the First Legion is your uncle, and even the City Lord of Tiandong Star has been silently paying attention to your growth for so many years..."
He Zhun finally took off the friendly mask, revealing a cold and cruel look in his eyes.
"You see, if I stay by your side, I can get in touch with so many big people and get the best educational and scientific research resources in the empire. Even if I have a hold of you, I can easily contain so many big people."
"If it weren't for these reasons, why do you think I have to endure it for so many years and treat the people I hate the most in vain?"
"..."
The person I hate the most... is he making excuses?
Jiang Ci closed his eyes deeply.
At this moment, he finally realized clearly that Jiang Ci had never been Jiang Ci. From the moment he was born until now, in everyone's eyes, he was just Jiang Jinsheng's son.
——Not even independent, can be called a separate human individual.
It's just one that can be used to exploit the weaknesses and weaknesses of those big shots.
He is the best breakthrough point for all conspiracies.
"So He Zhun, after so many years..."
Jiang Ci stared at the extremely familiar yet suddenly unfamiliar face in front of her, her eyes turning slightly red.
"Every word you say to me and everything you do is derived from...use and conspiracy?"
"...Why, wasn't what I said clear enough?"
He Zhun opened the corners of his lips and mocked mercilessly,
"Sure enough, omegas are creatures with delicate minds, softness, and sensitivity. They are very gullible and are quite blind and stupid when it comes to emotional issues."
At this time, he suddenly came closer, put one hand on Jiang Ci's shoulder, then turned his head slightly, and leaned close to the other person's ear,
"Moreover, they easily and irresistibly succumb to the physiological control of alpha. It seems that you are no exception, Jiang Ci."
He Zhun touched the tooth marks on the back of Jiang Ci's neck, lowered his head and sniffed, and sneered in his ear,
"How long has it been? With such strong pheromones, are you already falling in love with him?"
"..."
Probably the people closest to you know how to stab the knife where it hurts the most.
Jiang Ci understood the meaning behind all his words——
He Zhun first severed the family relationship between the two of them for so many years, and then denied Jiang Ci's significance as an independent and self-respecting individual.
In the end, the concept of omega gender and physiological control, which Jiang Ci was most sensitive to and cared about most, completely overturned the emotions that he, as a person, could have and possess.
Whether it is family affection, love, or even the meaning of being an independent individual, they must be completely denied.
This set of rhetoric was very meticulous and advanced layer by layer. It almost targeted every weakness that Jiang Ci cared about most. Hitting any one at will would arouse the explosive anger of the Major General.
It looks like it has been carefully prepared. For others, it may take repeated deliberation and careful consideration to achieve such a perfect attack effect, but for a smart person like He Zhun, it is actually not easy to say such a heartfelt statement temporarily.Not impossible.
Jiang Ci closed his eyes deeply, and for a moment, his face showed an expression as if he was drowning and suffocating.
But that look was fleeting, and soon became as calm as dead water.His harsh voice said slowly,
"Do you really...hate me so much, He Zhun?"
"Don't think too highly of yourself, Jiang Ci,"
He Zhun pushed him away coldly,
"You are just a tool that I will throw away after I use it. Why are you talking about hatred?"
The young man's tone was somewhat imperceptibly irritable.
"Do you think this is still the territory of the empire? There is a military commander who will protect you and you can do whatever you want? Wake up Jiang Ci, the end result of you, an omega, appearing here is to be eaten to the bone by those people.No more left!”
He Zhun held Jiang Ci's wrist tightly.
"If you know what's going on, hand over the core of the Forbidden Abyss as soon as possible. Maybe I can reluctantly show you a way out."
"..."
Jiang Ci didn't speak. He suddenly realized something was wrong.
boom!
At this moment, the originally closed door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and Bahuad led a group of high-ranking believers in.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the brotherly love is so deep, I almost cried when I heard it outside."
"..."
Damn it!
He Zhun closed his eyes suddenly without showing any unexpected expression, but his breathing rate was obviously disordered at this moment.
After all, even he could detect Jiang Ci's existence, how could Badhua not notice it.
Badhua's dark eyes were fixed on Jiang Ci's face, looking at him wantonly, as if confirming something.
After a moment, the man sneered maliciously,
"It's been such a long time no see. That milky omega kid from back then has grown up."
Jiang Ci's pupils shrank suddenly.
He finally knew why he felt familiar when he heard this man's voice just now——
[I have to say that Jiang Jinsheng has done so many disgusting things, but the only thing that makes me slightly happy is that he has an omega son.]
In the dark and damp basement, the man gripped the silver-haired boy's hair and took a deep breath:
[This kid still smells like milk, but it smells much better than those betas.]
Badwa…
——The person who kidnapped him together with Leinster!!!
"White Pond!!!"
choke!
In the flash of lightning, Jiang Ci did not hesitate at all, and directly grabbed the deformed spear in the air and stabbed Badhua straight into it.He is now surrounded. If he waits any longer, he will only become more passive. Now he can only seize the opportunity when he is unprepared.
In an instant, Badhua's pupils tightened and he narrowly dodged. The sharp spearhead narrowly missed the side of the man's face.
At this moment, Badhua twitched the tip of his nose, his face suddenly changed, and he noticed something extremely terrifying and fierce. The strange alpha's pheromones were like a furious beast, roaring to declare his sovereignty.
"Damn, who marked you?!"
What answered him was a sharp silver light.
Jiang Ci's close combat skills were taught by Zhou Jiuya step by step. Although he is an omega, his fighting style is fast and fierce, and every shot is like thunder.
But after all, Baddewa had more experience in combat. He took out a dark scimitar and brought out piercing lightning with almost every strike. In just a few seconds, the two sides fought for more than ten rounds.A single collision will cause a dazzling fire to burst out several meters away!
Almost everything around him was shattered in the blink of an eye by the air waves and electric sparks caused by the attack.
In such a fierce battle, the people around had no chance to intervene.
But the space in this room limited Jiang Ci's performance after all. In addition, Badhua knew Zhou Jiuya's fighting style too well, so he was still better in the end.
boom!
The silver gun was flicked away, causing Jiang Ci's abdomen to hurt. He hit the wall violently, causing a violent collapse. There was a bloody knife mark on his arm.
The next second, Jiang Ci felt that all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away.
His pupils suddenly dilated.
——It’s an intoxicating drug!
The next second, there was a violent tug on his scalp, and the other party grabbed his hair again.
boom!!!
That big hand pinned Jiang Ci to the ground.
"stop!!!"
He Zhun's pupils shrank and he suddenly shouted loudly.
Badhua turned his head, as if he had grasped something against He Zhun, his eyes instantly became proud and sharp.
"how?"
He Zhun could hardly hold back his expression at this moment. He stared at Jiang Ci who was pressed to the ground with a face full of pain. He tried his best to calm down and only said,
"...The core of the Forbidden Abyss is in his hands, take it back first."
The core of the Forbidden Abyss is placed together with the core of Bai Ze, and it is always warmed and charged by Baize's core.
"Ah, this is simple. Once a creature like an omega is marked, it will do whatever it wants."
"..."
He Zhun was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately realized what he wanted to do. His eyes widened to the extreme and he lunged forward.
"stop!!!"
However, it was too late at this moment, as the two white-robed cultists held He Zhun down tightly.
boom!!!
The young man's kneecap hit the ground hard, making a numbing sound.
"Badwa—!!!"
But He Zhun didn't care. He struggled wildly, his eyes were red and his canthus was about to burst.
"you dare!!!"
But at this moment, the man took out a needle and pierced the side of Jiang Ci's neck directly.
"Although I don't know which alpha marked him,"
Badwar stared at the medicine that was gradually injected, his pupils shrinking due to excessive excitement.
"But it's such a pity that it's just a temporary mark. It can just be washed off."
He stroked the omega's painful side face and whispered,
"You know Jiang Ci, when Zhou Jiuya destroyed my eye for you, I swore-"
"In this life, we must make his life worse than death..."
