After feeling that it was good that someone cared, Loki's gentle gaze began to become resolute again. It's good for someone to care about themselves, but they can't be immersed in gentleness. As one of the two major bosses of the Fantasy River, he will be a very important part of the world war that will appear at any point in the future. If you stop, then when disaster comes, how can you protect this tenderness?

"Absolutely...... I won't allow this to happen......" muttered Loki, who was rushing towards Shu. Originally, he still wanted to return to Brazil City to rectify it, but thinking of those Zerg who didn't know when they would make a comeback, Loki felt that there was not enough time, so he took Zhu Li and ran away in the direction of Shuzhong.

"......" Juri in Loki's arms tilted his head and looked at Loki. After being contracted by Loki, Juri, who had been chattering and tentatively probing Loki, disappeared, and she regained her taciturn nature, speaking with a gaze that was sufficient to fully express what she was thinking. Just like this time, after feeling Loki's sweet and gentle aura suddenly change from sweet and gentle as a marshmallow to a cold knife like an unsheathed steel knife, his gaze at Loki was full of doubts.

"Oh, it's nothing, Juri. Merely...... Just thought of something. Loki looked at Juri in his arms and comforted him softly.

Juri nodded. I have to say that Zhu Li is worthy of being the reincarnation of a person with a demon-level IQ. She could guess what Loki was thinking at this time from the few words that Loki had leaked and the changes in his temperament before. Then, thinking of it, Juri stretched out a hand, crossed Loki's shoulder, and gently grasped the hilt of the sword of the Judgment Code behind Loki, and spat out seven words in his mouth: "I...... will become a ...... Yours...... Sword. ”

Loki paused for a moment, then reacted. In the face of Zhu Li, who cherishes words like gold, he is really not used to it...... However, this did not prevent Loki from understanding what Juri was trying to say. "Well, I believe you. However, as a man, if you can't protect your woman, and you have to rely on women to protect you, then this man is too much of a failure. ”

Even though Loki clearly expressed his meaning, Juri's hand holding the hilt of the sword still did not let go, and at the same time, his eyes became firm: "I...... No...... Joking. ”

Loki gave Juri a gentle look, "Okay, okay, I promise that if I really need your help one day, I won't refuse." ”

Juri shook his head, let go of his hand, and then uttered the longest and most coherent passage after her contract: "Have you considered our feelings? Do you think we are willing to stay behind you and make a vase quietly? Do you think you can handle everything? Do you think we will feel better if you are hurt? Protecting a person is not only to protect her body, but also to take care of her mood. We didn't make a contract with you to be a vase, we wanted to fight for you, we wanted to be your strength, so we made a contract with you. We can understand how you want to protect us, but we also want to protect you, can you understand that?"

"......" Loki was silent. Actually, it's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, it's just that ...... In the days when he was an otaku, he always regarded these girls in the second dimension as something that needed to be cared for and cherished. He used to collect figurines just to give a little solace to this impossible wish. And now, all his past wishes have a chance to come true, so Loki has always cared for the girls he contracted with him as if they were his original figures, and did not allow them to participate in any battles that could be life-threatening. And he himself has been hypnotizing himself in his heart, those girls are fragile things, and he protects them like this for their good. It's just that when Juri has made everything clear now, Loki, who can't escape anymore, doesn't know how to refute Juri's words.

While thinking about this, Loki didn't close the psychic connection, so although he couldn't know exactly what Loki was thinking, the bouts of confusion coming from Loki's side still made Juri guess what was on Loki's mind. Looking at Loki's blank expression and listening to the sound of the wind rushing by in his ears, Juri didn't make a sound to disturb Loki. She knew that the comfort at this time could only make the man in front of her even more confused. Loki's knot can only be untied by himself.

For a long time, Loki ran like a robot. The footsteps move unconsciously, but the mind does not know where it has drifted. It wasn't until a long, long time later that Loki stopped, his godless eyes shining again. glanced at Zhu Li, who was already extremely sleepy but still cheered up, and kissed her on the forehead lovingly.

Seeing that Loki came back to his senses, Juri said softly: "Figured it out?"

Loki smiled brightly, "Got it." ”

Under Juri's calm gaze, Loki said slowly but firmly, "I was wrong in the past...... I've always treated you like something I can control...... I was wrong. Maybe you belong to me, maybe even if I dominate you, you won't resist, but...... I shouldn't have thought and done that. You are independent beings. In the river of illusions, there are countless fantasy planes, and there are countless of you. Each person has his or her own independent character, memory, and even personality...... It was my mistake to casually treat you as the templated tasks in anime...... I should give you the opportunity to choose your own life...... Rather than presumptuously defining you as collectibles......"

"You...... Finally understood......" Juri smiled.

"yes...... I see......" Loki sighed. However, he immediately lowered his head and said with a wicked smile: "But there is one point of view that I will not change - you are all my property, and I will never let go of any of you~~"

"......" Zhu Li showed a rare speechless expression of "defeated by you......

“…… Forget it, you can think as much as you like...... I'll get some sleep first...... It's so sleepy......" Glancing at Loki, Juri leaned his little head into Loki's arms, arched slightly, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.

Looking at Juli's little Lori who was sleeping in his arms, Loki chuckled and continued to rush forward. While sprinting, Loki did not forget to use his magic to prop up a protective shield and block out the oncoming biting cold wind. In this way, the two continued to move towards Shuzhong.
