Chapter 769 Silent Gift
Chapter 769 Silent Gift
"This is……"
Lu Chihuan looked down at the small box, hesitated for a moment, scratched his cheek embarrassedly, and then said:
"Can I open it?"
Zuo Lie rubbed Lu Chihuan's hand with his big furry head. His golden eyes were as bright and warm as the sunlight, as if silently expressing his indulgence towards Lu Chihuan.
It seemed that no matter what Lu Chihuan wanted to do, he would nod and agree without hesitation.
All of a sudden.
Lu Chihuan's heart was soft.
He raised his hand and ruffled Zuo Lie's fiery red fur.
One hand gently touched his wet nose again, and after a moment, he hummed and whispered: "How come you are still like this after changing the world? You don't seem to have changed at all."
Puppy-like personality.
Once he has identified a person, he will follow him with his tail wagging. Even if that person is against the whole world, he will still choose to stand behind that person unwaveringly.
Zuo Lie didn't understand what Lu Chihuan was saying.
Instead, he nudged Lu Chihuan's palm with his wet nose, as if urging him to quickly open the small box and take a closer look to see if there was anything he really wanted inside.
"All right."
"I'll open it right away."
Lu Chihuan raised his hands in surrender, and after getting Zuo Lie's permission, he quickly and gently opened the lid of the small box, only to see some beautiful little stones, bones of some star beasts, a bunch of dried citrus branches, and other things inside.
Rather than being Zuo Lie’s toys, these are more like treasures that he has carefully collected.
Although it doesn't seem to have any value at first glance.
But for Zuo Lie, whose animal nature has overcome his reason, these are all he has.
Even though he had forgotten his human memories and locked himself up in this hunting ground, he still remembered to preserve these treasures well in such an environment.
This is enough to prove how important these things are to Zuo Lie.
But unfortunately——
He conscientiously gave these things to himself.
have to say.
This straightforward and heavy feeling made Lu Chihuan at a loss as to how to react. He buried his cheek in Zuo Lie's soft fur. The fur, which had just been washed, still had a bit of plant fragrance.
After being dried by the sun.
Fluffy like clouds.
He sniffed his slightly sour nose, thinking that since Zuo Lie was so good to him, he must do something for him.
Think of this.
Lu Chihuan turned his head flexibly again, wondering if he could start from Zuo Lie's contaminated genes. It would be great if he could control his animal nature.
of course.
He couldn't do this himself.
But he knew someone who could do it, such as...world consciousness.
Zuo Lie seemed to be aware of Lu Chihuan's mood swings. His big fluffy and soft tail swept across his calves again, and a low whimper came from his throat.
As if to comfort him.
"I'm fine."
Lu Chihuan raised his head and rubbed the red ends of his eyes. His dark and bright eyes seemed to be clean after being washed with water. He then curved his eyes and softened his voice and spoke:
"Zuo Lie."
"thank you."
As he said this, he was about to pack up the treasures in Zuo Lie's small box, but ended up finding a necklace inside.
Below the necklace is an openable pendant, which looks a bit like a thick book, while above the book is a lying wolf-shaped animal intricately inlaid with gems and diamonds.
do not know why.
Lu Chihuan felt that this was some kind of totem or a symbol.
There was a line of words below the animal in an indecipherable language. Because so much time had passed, the words had become a little blurry and it was impossible to tell what they were.
Look at the pendant.
The photos originally placed inside were also heavily stained, even covering the faces of Zuo Lie's parents in the photos, leaving only Zuo Lie sitting upright as a little pink ball in the middle.
For an instant.
Lu Chihuan couldn't help but frown.
Before in the main world, Zuo Lie had actually shown him this necklace pendant.
It is said that this thing is one of the few relics left by Zuo Lie's parents. Ever since his uncle who adopted Zuo Lie returned it to him, he has cherished it and hung it around his neck.
Very little time to take it off.
However, the wolf-like animal made of gems and diamonds on the necklace pendant had probably been pried away by the uncle and sold for money, so when Lu Chihuan saw the necklace pendant, there was only a bare shell left on the outside.
Fortunately, the photos inside were still intact. Zuo Lie embarrassedly opened the pendant and let Lu Chihuan look at it for a while. Lu Chihuan also remembered the appearance of Zuo Lie's parents.
It can even be said to be a deep memory.
It was precisely because the two necklace pendants were so different that when Lu Chihuan took out the necklace pendant from the small box just now, he didn't associate them together for a moment.
perhaps.
It was precisely because of human interference in this world that led to his death, and the resulting butterfly effect affected everyone's destiny, disrupting everyone's fate.
So is Zuo Lie.
In this world, he did not grow up on a remote small planet, nor was he valued by the governor of that small planet because of his strong mental power and sent to the Dunson Military Academy.
Instead, he was captured on this planet as a slave, and because of the radiation leak in the laboratory, his genes were contaminated, and he struggled to survive in extreme pain.
At the same time, he also has the ability to switch between human form and animal form.
Probably in this process.
The photo in his necklace pendant was contaminated for some unknown reason, so that even though he has grown up to this age, he still doesn't know what his parents look like.
Lu Chihuan had no intention of evaluating which world's Zuo Lie's life story was more pitiful, but he knew that Zuo Lie in every world was like a raging fire, burning tenaciously and persistently.
then.
Walked in front of him.
Thinking of this, Lu Chihuan smiled at Zuo Lie again. His fair and slender fingers stroked the dirty photo on the pendant. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the fluorescent jade hanging on his wrist suddenly flickered a few times.
Then it lit up.
This is a reaction to energy being detected.
For a moment, Lu Chihuan couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes fell on the necklace pendant in his hand. He aimed the fluorite jade at the wolf-shaped animal made of gems on the outer shell of the necklace pendant, and saw that the light of the fluorite jade became brighter.
energy……
It turned out to be hidden in here.
Lu Chihuan's wrist trembled slightly involuntarily, but for some reason, the first emotion that came to his mind was not happiness, but a slight sense of disappointment and apology.
after all.
This necklace pendant is Zuo Lie’s favorite thing and also a relic left to him by his parents. If the energy contained in it were to be taken away, the color of the gemstone on the outside would definitely dim.
Therefore, Lu Chihuan was hesitant to take action.
However, Zuo Lie saw that he was staring at the necklace pendant, so he gently rolled it up with his wet tongue, carefully held it in his mouth, and then tried to hang it on Lu Chihuan's body.
His movements were clumsy.
Before he knew it, Lu Chihuan was covered in saliva.
Lu Chihuan doesn't mind
He just couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and rubbed Zuo Lie who tried to shove his big furry head into his arms, then said softly, "Okay."
"I understand what you mean."
"This necklace pendant does contain what I need, but once I take away the energy inside, the sparkling gemstones on it will most likely become dim."
Knowing that Zuo Lie might not understand what he said, Lu Chihuan pursed his lips and gestured with his hands, trying to fully express the meaning of his words.
anyway.
He also hoped to consult Zuo Lie's opinion.
After all, he did not regard Zuo Lie as a savage and ignorant beast, nor did he want to plunder anything from him. From the beginning to the end, Zuo Lie was equal to him, even though his current appearance was no different from that of a star beast.
Zuo Lie’s pair of golden eyes were like a ball of warm sunlight.
It also makes people involuntarily think of the beautiful and pure yellow topaz. He looked at Lu Chihuan quietly, as if he understood what he meant from the other party's gesture. For a moment, those wild eyes seemed to regain rationality.
He whimpered softly.
Then he touched the back of Lu Chihuan's hand with the warm and moist surface of his tongue.
This is a silent agreement.
Lu Chihuan suddenly felt his eyes a little sour. He barely adjusted his expression, grabbed Zuo Lie's thick and furry paws in his palms, and then shook them gently a few times, "Why are you so nice?"
It was so good that he couldn't bear it.
You have to know that since he came to this branch world, he has never been able to obtain energy so easily. He doesn't need to confess his origins, nor does he need to be so cautious.
Zuo Lie was still so generous even though he had no memory of their time together.
How could he not be moved by this?
Zuo Lie seemed to realize that Lu Chihuan was praising him, so he couldn't help but roll around on the mat like a spoiled child, letting out an excited and joyful hum from his throat.
He is very happy.
Lu Chihuan held his chin and watched his every move. After playing with Zuo Lie for a while, he placed the firefly jade on top of the necklace pendant and let it absorb the power contained in it.
Watching the light blue energy escaping from the necklace pendant.
He was slightly stunned again.
Last time, the self who was born in the destroyed branch world said some true and false words to him, and at the same time planted a seed of doubt in his heart. He did not trust the world consciousness as much as before, but at the same time he did not know how to get out of the predicament.
His existence is so insignificant.
The world consciousness is like a huge monster to him, and the other party can crush him to death with just a finger.
In the face of absolute force.
All the struggles and calculations are in vain.
Although he can now move freely in both the main world and the branch world, his power is still too weak compared to the world consciousness, and he has no chance of competing.
unless.
It would be great if he could become an existence that the world consciousness fears or is wary of.
Think of this.
Lu Chihuan's eyes fell on the energy in front of him, and he stretched out his finger as if bewitched, but before he touched the spiritual power, the voice of world consciousness rang out.
“It’s energy!”
"It's really strange, how come you can collect energy so quickly this time."
Lu Chihuan was suddenly awakened.
He retracted his outstretched finger as if nothing had happened, and pretended to be calm and natural. His voice sounded steady, "Zuo Lie's location is not difficult to find."
"Besides, he is in a period of chaos right now. Not only has his animal instinct taken over his rationality, but he has also been very nice to me. So it doesn't take much time and effort to get the energy-containing items."
The world consciousness greedily absorbed the power hidden in the necklace pendant like a hungry glutton, "It seems."
"Fate is on my side this time."
"Since the power is already in your hands, why don't you just leave now? The seal that was snatched away by the so-called messenger of God due to your negligence last time is probably in the hands of my enemy."
"This time we might as well just go to their base camp and take the things back directly."
These words.
World consciousness is something that is taken for granted.
However, Lu Chihuan's reaction was to sneer. He reached out and moved the necklace pendant a little further away to prevent the world consciousness from absorbing the energy inside. His voice also sounded a little cold.
"I don't like the tone of your voice."
Although he understood.
This time he came to the Beast Star to look for energy, and after getting the energy he would leave. After all, the responsibility he carried was too heavy for him to stop.
But as soon as the words of world consciousness were spoken, their meaning seemed to have changed.
It seems that everyone is just a chess piece in its hands. Once they are no longer of any value to it, they will be discarded mercilessly without even a trace of warmth or comfort.
"And what do you mean by being snatched away by the so-called messenger of God because of my negligence? At that time, the Golden Crow was controlled, and there were a total of four people on the other side, plus there was a waterspout nearby."
"I'm lucky to be alive."
"You are so good at talking now, why didn't you come out and help me back then?"
Lu Chihuan felt that the world consciousness had become a little bit arrogant since it obtained the energy. It seemed that it had forgotten that it was not its subordinate that could do whatever it wanted, but that they were equal partners.
in short.
He thinks that world consciousness needs to be criticized.
After being scolded by Lu Chihuan, the world consciousness laughed dryly a few times, and seemed to realize that it had ignited Lu Chihuan's anger, so it explained again:
"I'm not rushing you."
"It's just that these orcs who have mutated due to genetic pollution can't remember all the memories during the period when their animal nature took over and they lost their reason. When he switches back to human form, he won't remember that you have been here."
"I won't even remember the time I spent with you, so it's a waste of time for you to stay. You might even get yourself into trouble. I'm doing this for your own good."
As soon as I heard this.
Lu Chihuan's face went blank for a moment.
