“… General, that's... Please don't let ... That kind of bug is close..."

“… Hmm..."

You've said it for the tenth time...

Of course, Jason didn't say that last sentence. However, from Li Zhu's thousands of advices, he could deduce that before she met him, she must have suffered the loss of that kind of green worm in the bath.

Leaning against the trunk of a tree behind him, the sound of the waterfall pouring down his ears came to his ears, and Jason began to regret a little, obviously he had just come to fetch water, but it turned out to be a bath, which he really didn't expect.

Although there was still some embarrassment in his heart, Jason was obviously vigilant about the situation around him all the time.

About ten minutes later, only to hear a rustling sound behind him, Jason's thick eyebrows frowned, and the dagger he held in his right hand couldn't help but tighten. Guarding him with a dagger, he turned his head to look over, but he saw a slender snake rushing towards him.

“… Laugh at! ”

Jason's cry of pain startled Li Zhu, who was about to get dressed, and he hurriedly ran over before he even had time to put on his coat. As a result, Jason leaned against the trunk of a tree.

And three paces away from him was a snake that had been thrust three inches by his dagger. Because of instinct, even though the snake is dead, the snake body still can't stop turning.

Looking at Jason again, Li Zhu's heart froze when he touched the snakebite scar on the back of his left hand.

"How..."

The surprised question almost didn't come out, and Li Zhu immediately took his hand and frowned and thought for a moment.

Because the two of them came out to get water, they didn't bring medicine. And now, looking at Jason's slightly narrowed and gradually misty eyes, Li Zhu's heart fell, lowered his head and took his wound in his mouth, sucked out the blood in it, untied the strap of his hair, and pierced his arm.

He walked to the dead snake in two steps, pulled out Jason's dagger, cut it on the snake with the blade, took out the snake's turquoise snake gall bladder, and pinched it to smear the bile on his wound.

“… What are you... What to do..."

Jason's cool words made Li Zhu's action about to be smeared freeze in the air, and he raised his eyes to look at Jason with a cold face, and then looked at the wound on his hand.

Bright red blood... Represents...

"You're not poisoned?!"

After almost instinctively screaming, Li Zhu's brows furrowed, but what he got was...

“… When did I say I was poisoned..."

was asked by Jason like this, Li Zhu was stunned, and then thought that he really didn't say that he was poisoned. Well, this snake is actually not venomous...

"Then why are you dizzy..."

When I met the pair of dark eyes, there was a clear inside, and there was still the confusion caused by vertigo before.

“… Hit my head..."

When he saw the other party say this sentence with a cold expression, Li Zhu's face couldn't help but sink, and with a flick of his right hand, he let go of Jason's left arm, got up and walked two steps before suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked over again, looking down at Jason with low eyebrows, and when he met the pair of good-looking eyebrows, Moth Mei raised slightly, and then...

The right hand skillfully removed the hairband that was tied to Jason's left arm, and then flattened his mouth, and the whole expression was almost not humming, and it was accompanied by a disdainful expression.

Inexplicably, when he saw her expression, the corners of Jason's lips couldn't help but hook, although the arc was extremely small, he was still seen by Li Zhu in his eyes. Maybe it was because the arc he sketched was too soft, different from the frosty indifference on weekdays, which made her stunned.

“… I'm going back..."

Turning his head to himself, Li Zhu tried to take a step, and no longer paid attention to the person behind him who was smiling lightly.

After this experience, Li Zhu and Jason's dinner has been spent in a peaceful (mo) and peaceful (u) and peaceful (yan) atmosphere.

At night, when the whole forest is plunged into darkness, only the two bright and dazzling planets in the sky remain, and the cool and white light pours down, making people feel a little cool.

A pitch-black figure leaped out of the cave, swept lightly, and then disappeared into the forest, flying off into the distance. And moments after he left, another black shadow chased him away.

When the black shadow stopped in front of and behind the huge fuselage of the Red Lotus 3, I saw him skillfully open the hatch and skim into the cockpit. Then, he turned on the power with ease, and when the blue light shone on the screen, the long, slender silhouette was reflected.

The face illuminated by the light is obviously...

“… You're still going to go, right? A sleek voice came from the darkness, emotionless, cold and flustering.

When he heard this voice, the long figure was stunned and did not turn around.

There was a very light footstep in the darkness, and when the tall and slender figure appeared under the blue light, I saw that it was Li Zhu. And at this moment, her face didn't seem to even have half of her emotions.

"Yes, I have to go back." This sentence came out of Jason's mouth, and the firmness in it meant that Li Zhu did not doubt it at all. Because she knew that as long as he said it, he had to do it. However, she couldn't help but add:

"If death awaits you when you go back, you won't regret it?"

Death?

This term was abandoned by Jason as early as the moment he stepped into the battlefield. Because, no matter what time it was, he never took his life and death to heart.

"I didn't go back because HS-36 was my home planet, but because, only there, I would discover my worth."

It's rare, this time Jason explained his feelings at the moment in detail, this sentence, more than any previous sentence, made Li Zhu feel real.

But it is precisely because of the truth that Li Zhu can't refute it...

“… I'm sorry, Xiaozhu..."

The dark pupils widened, and the obvious pupil lines moved, Li Zhu raised his eyes to look at Jason, who had not yet turned around, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but involve a wry smile.

This is the first time he has called himself, but it's so strange, she really doesn't feel very happy, perhaps, because of the three words "I'm sorry" in front of her.

"You're not sorry for me, in fact, what I just said was just casually, you... Don't take it personally. As if to hide something, Li Zhu glanced over slightly, and half of his fair face fell into the shadows that did not reach the light.

When neither of them wanted to speak for a while, silence spread through the room like a flood of beasts. Until, red letters appeared on the blue display, and the mechanical female voice sounded in the cabin:

[The energy system has been repaired...]

Its prompt was very timely, or rather, it was so timely that Li Zhu was not prepared at all.

Although she knew that after she brought Jason here to let him know about the damage to Red Lotus 3, he would spend 3 hours a night here to repair it. However, Li Zhu did not expect that in just ten days, he would be able to repair and improve the system that deliberately left flaws in the design.

"Ready to go now?" Li Zhu's words broke the silence, and a pair of good-looking eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, but he didn't see a smile in his eyes. And it was only at this time that Jason turned around leisurely and faced her:

"Hmm."

Shaking her head and sighing, Li Zhu frowned slightly, but she thought in her heart: If I hadn't followed you over, would it be that I wouldn't have seen you tomorrow morning?!

Of course, she wouldn't ask that. Not because he was reserved or proud, but because he didn't want to hear him say yes.

Jason slowly approached her, and when his tall figure enveloped Li Zhu, he instinctively lowered his eyebrows and looked at her with his eyes raised:

“… I... I won't leave you behind..."

He had never spoken quickly, but this time he was a few beats slower than before, as if to imprint every word into her heart, as if to make her believe the meaning of the sentence without hesitation.

When he heard this, Li Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed that kind of smile that seemed to be not a smile. After covering his mouth with his hand and fading the smile on his lips, he asked in a fixed voice:

"Even if you don't say it, I know. Because, I have only chased you alone in this life, how could I let you escape so easily?! ”

There was a bit of deliberate relaxation in her words, and her jade-like face instantly spread with indescribable warmth, delicate as water, but more ethereal as clouds. Just staring at her so quietly, Jason felt that his heart was full of peace that he had never felt before.

So, when Jason came back to his senses, he found that his right hand had unconsciously attached to her sideburns, and his thumb was lightly imprinted on her porcelain-like face. But even after noticing, he didn't let go, just silently watched her slightly thoughtful expression.

"General, before I go back to HS-36, I want to ask you a question."

The confusion on Li Zhu's face disappeared suddenly, and the pair of water-cutting eyes raised slightly to meet Jason's gaze. When he saw him nodding in response, he said:

"Up to this point, have you trusted anyone but yourself?"

Believe?

When Jason chewed Li Zhu's words carefully in his heart, he couldn't help frowning, and a few wisps of annoyance came out.

He was troubled, not because he didn't have someone he trusted, but because, when he heard Li Zhu mention the word trust, a familiar face uncontrollably appeared in his mind.

Obviously, he already felt that he wouldn't trust anyone, but why did he still feel unhappy when that face flashed in his mind?!

"Whew! General, let's go back..."Li Zhu's deep breathing sound was like some kind of sigh, with a bitter feeling.

Or maybe it was because he remembered that face, Jason didn't pay attention to the way she spoke, and just nodded in response.

Not long after, the huge body of Red Lotus 3 spread its wings and flew through the atmosphere and into space.

……

HS-36 Planet:

When the body of Red Lotus 3 was found on the scanning radar of the space terminal station, the news was transmitted to the royal family in less than a minute. And the order given by the royal family is......

At the same time, in the cockpit of Red Lotus No. 3, Jason looked at Li Zhu with an unpredictable expression, thinking that she was probably afraid that she would be punished for stealing Red Lotus No. 3, so he couldn't help but comfort her:

“… I will, do my best to protect you..."

His voice is not loud, or he has never liked to speak loudly. But when this sentence echoed throughout the room, it slowly drew out a sense of stability in Li Zhu's heart.

When she smiled back at him, she saw the door that was still closed in front of the terminal station burst open. Seeing this, Jason immediately pulled the steering stick and jumped into orbit, because his gaze turned back too quickly, but he didn't see the rippling light hidden in Li Zhu's slightly lowered eyelids.

Red Lotus No. 3 stopped steadily in the base, and when Jason opened the hatch and came down from it with his hands raised, he slowly showed an unbelievable look to the crowd surrounding him.

Of course, if you see someone who has been dead for almost two months suddenly appear in front of you, the expression on your face will naturally be full of shock.

Despite the fact that it was Jason himself, the captain of the group apparently did not want to believe that he was still alive, and after reaching out to the gun-wielding team to keep him from approaching, he asked loudly:

"Who are you? Why impersonate General Jason Atlantisdear? ”

Jason didn't get angry at his question, but replied calmly: "I am Jason Atlantis Dill himself, I am not dead, please report this news to the royal family, they will naturally verify the authenticity of my identity." ”

After speaking, Jason took out the prepared fingerprint mold box and blood dish, printed his fingerprints under the gaze of everyone, and then pricked his hand to drip blood on the dish.

After doing this, he stepped back five meters and watched as the captain sent someone to take the fingerprints and blood.

Or seeing him act like this, the faces of the soldiers surrounding him looked better, but their alertness was not half relaxed than before. While everyone was waiting for the results of the test, the captain said, as if to ease the atmosphere:

"The inspection will take some time, please wait."

"Hmm..."

In fact, maybe even he thinks now that the person in front of him is Jason. Otherwise, how could he change his tone and add the word "please" before waiting a little bit?! At this moment, I saw the captain stand up straight, and then spoke:

"Yes! Yes! Be! Be! ”

Obviously, someone is talking to him through the sound sensor in his ear, and the only person who can have this permission is usually a general-level person.

After the captain finished communicating with the man, he waved his hand and asked the soldier to take back the gun, and he also put away the gun and walked to a place three meters away from Jason and bowed deeply:

"I was offended just now, please don't be surprised by General Jason."

This action is obviously more convincing than any language. Therefore, when they saw him bow deeply, the soldiers who had gathered in a circle immediately □ saluted.

"No, you're doing your duty, too."

Obviously, no one expected him to say this. After all, even in a similar situation in the past, the general would never say anything like that.

"Jason... Checkmate! ”

A familiar and pleasant voice sounded in the open base, and a man in a bright yellow uniform pushed through the crowd and walked with a warm smile on his face. The rapid pace showed his unconcealable joy at the moment, and when Jason appeared in his field of vision, the pair of good-looking eyes suddenly showed an irrepressible look of ecstasy.

“… Sazo..."Jason was stunned at first when he saw the tall figure, and after calling out his name, he let him slam a fist in his chest.

"You kid, I even thought you... I'll talk about you when I go back..."After Sazo whispered this in Jason's ear, he immediately looked away, coughed lightly, and continued:

"General Jason, the royal family invites you to the council chamber."

"Yes!"

"Xiaobai is in the cabin, you take care of her first, and I will tell the royal family the truth about her stealing the No. 3 plane." After whispering to Sazuo about Li Zhu's situation, Jason nodded to him and strode towards the royal chamber.

Or maybe it was because he was walking too fast, and therefore didn't have time to see Sazo's slightly lowered gaze.

The Imperial Chamber's House is where the fate of HS-36 is decided, and every major decision is confirmed from here and sent down to all parts of HS-36.

And at this moment, when Jason stood in front of this ornately carved door, he frowned slightly. Obviously, he had been here many times, but only this time, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

……

When the magnificent door of the council hall was reopened, a slender figure emerged from it, welcoming the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

His face, which was originally as handsome as a knife, was as cold as frost at the moment, and the clenched fists in his uniform revealed his anger at the moment. But when I raised my eyes, the pair of good-looking eyes were as heavy as water, making people unable to see a little emotion.

It wasn't until the door closed again that Jason's feet were like the wind, and after a few moments it was impossible to find him.

Tower:

The tower is located in the northernmost barren place of the military region, which is inhuman, and further north, there is an unfathomable cliff. As for why it was built in such a difficult place, it was because it was the place where the HS-36 army tortured and held prisoners.

The security here can be said to be the tightest outside of the imperial city, where the royal family is located. Among them, the most heavily guarded is Room 10, which specializes in dealing with traitors.

Inside the tower, the door to Room 10 is tightly closed. In fact, if there were no prisoners, the door to Room 10 would never be closed. As for the reason, no one knows. Therefore, at this moment, the door of Room 10 is closed, and there must be a traitor who is being interrogated inside.

Moving to Room 10, there were no torture instruments in the other torture chambers, nor the various poisons that were secretly made in the legend.

If you just look at it, you will think that this is just an ordinary small room.

Because, in the 20-square-meter room, there is a dark wooden square table in the center, and there are two wooden chairs with backrests on the two long sides of the table, and the wooden chairs are also thoughtfully cushioned. Above the table is a lamp, the surrounding walls are painted a soft grass green, and the floor is covered with white tiles.

Anyone who looks at this decoration will think that this is just an ordinary reception room. Who can associate such a homely room with the terrifying Room 10.

At this moment, Li Zhu was sitting on the upholstered chair, and opposite him was the man who was smiling like a spring breeze---- Sazuo

In fact, everyone knows that Room 10 is terrible, but they only think that it is because of its torture tools and torture methods. What they didn't know was that Room 10 was terrifying, and there was only one reason, and that was the man in front of Li Zhu.

Because, the hard-mouthed thief Bulls who made the interstellar not kill and unhappy back then, even confessed the key to his treasure house in front of this man. Then, as long as you confront this man, as long as he wants to know from you, you can't help but say it.

He's what makes Room 10 hell...

"Don't have anything to say?" Sazo's voice was still as gentle as ever, and even the smile on Jun's face was as dazzling as a spring day, rendering the entire interior with a hazy spring light.

"Say what?" Li Zhu folded his hands on the table, and his eyes looked straight at Sazo without dodging at all. Obviously, he is the one who is restrained, but he can't see the slightest weakness on Li Zhu's face.

Call...

Sazo's breathing sank, and his good-looking eyebrows were stained with an indescribable emotion, like regret, but more like sadness.

"You know, you're now... To be precise, the day after you stole Red Lotus 3, evidence of your collusion with K-18 was found in your room. So, two months ago, you were a traitor to the HS-36. Sazo's voice was unhurried, and the smile on his eyebrows was quickly removed before he spoke, and unlike the cordial kindness of the previous second, the cold face made his whole person cold and detached.

Of course Li Zhu knew what he said. Not only did she know that, she knew more.

"I know I'm a traitor, and I know that if I come back, I'll definitely come in here and meet you. Even Jason couldn't keep me. But... What you should do now is how to pry the information about the K-18 out of my mouth. And you, is that all you want to say?! ”

Li Zhu's face was cold, and the emotions on her face were calm and tranquil, as if she was not the subject of this torture at all, as if this series of conversations had nothing to do with her.

"Why... Are you always like this? Sazo's voice was full of helplessness, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were tangled, and his expression was not so much interrogating a prisoner as it was like educating a rebellious child.

"Why, you always want me to be distracted?" Again, Sazo closed his eyes and sighed to himself, with an indescribable sense of helplessness.

But looking at Li Zhu, on the other hand, there was no emotion on her face. Suffice it to say, she seemed to ignore Sazo's words.

“… I'm sorry..."

The clear voice slowly spit out these three words that did not match him at all, and when he heard the thick remorse between the words, if he didn't know Sazuo, Li Zhu might really be blinded, but unfortunately, she wouldn't.

"Admiral Sazo... Now or maybe I should call you a general... So, Admiral Sazo, don't you really think, that I'm still going to think that you would be so gentle with a traitor? Unlike in the past, when he hid his emotions, when he said this, the mockery between Li Zhu's words was very strong.

And when Sazo heard the honorific title with military rank, a kind of inexplicability flashed on Qingjun's face.

At this moment, the transmitter in Sazuo's ears rang, and after pressing the listen button, he saw his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Zhu with a pair of eyes, and only after a while did he answer "yes".

"I'll be out for a while and I'll be back soon." After finishing speaking, I saw that Sazuo quickly removed the emotions in his eyebrows and eyes, and his jade-like face returned to his daily intimate smile, but even if he smiled like this, no one could see the true emotions in his heart.

Li Zhu just sat and ignored Sazuo's words, as if nothing existed in her eyes at this time.

Just after Sazuo closed the door and left, Li Zhu stared at the green wall in a daze. But this daze lasted less than a minute, and the sound of the door opening was heard.

Turning his head to look at the past, he was confronted by the uniform that was as black as the night, and the man who couldn't hide his anxiety at the eyebrows.
