Reborn Beast Soul

Sleka went out to do the laundry, and Russell didn't accompany him. Although he really liked the alliance's trick of a handsome man, or should be said to be a trick of a beautiful wolf, he still didn't intend to let Sleka stay here.

He has his concerns, it's not that he doesn't believe in Sreka, but that many times, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.The current situation seems calm at first glance. The alliance can get powerful contracted beasts from him, and he can get financial and technical support from the alliance, but who can guarantee that such days can continue?

In such a world where the weak prey on the strong, if the alliance breeds one careerist, it can breed the second, so he never thought of believing the alliance's rhetoric, especially the truth that Mobis told him.

No matter whether the alliance killed those contracted beasts to force him to awaken, one thing will not change. The alliance always regards contracted beasts as creatures one level lower than them. Of course, as orcs, they are not wrong to think so , any creature weaker than them is naturally a lower-level existence than them. As a higher-level existence, why can't they decide the life and death of these people?

Russell used to think the same way. If he hadn't possessed such ability, if he hadn't been able to listen to the thoughts of contracted beasts, maybe he was also a member of the vast higher existence.

Russell sighed lightly, and stopped thinking about these things. He went to the school built with alliance funds and technology. Because of insufficient manpower, Russell gathered the contracted beasts that had turned into human forms and assigned them positions. , These people are responsible for taking care of other contracted beasts on a daily basis, especially those contracted beasts that have reached the edge of transformation. As for the rest, such as Xiao Huang and Sicily, Russell asked them to coordinate and manage all the contracted beasts in transformation.

Sicily is quite old in his heart, and he has not been the wolf king for nothing for so many years, otherwise he would not look like a boy in one transformation. With him in charge of other transformed contracted beasts, Russell can feel at ease.As for Xiao Huang, he is very popular among the contracted beasts. Together, the two of them can play a huge role. At least other contracted beasts are still willing to listen to the command of the two. There are no high-level ones among the contracted beasts.

Russell has also figured out some rules of transformation recently. Most of the transformed contracted beasts are contracted beasts who spend more time with him and whose intelligence has reached a certain level. Difficult to transform, such as S-level contract beasts such as elemental elves and devouring beasts, some of them have intelligence no less than adult orcs, but they just can't transform smoothly, as if there is something hindering them They break the last shackles as well.

In this regard, Russell also thought of some ways. Whether it was using his own evolutionary ability or stimulating the brain domain of these contracted beasts, he could not make these S-level contracted beasts transform smoothly. In desperation, Russell had no choice but to The plan to transform these contracted beasts was temporarily shelved.

Except for Xiao Huang and Sicily, the contracted beasts close to Russell are Da Dai. It is reasonable to say that Russell can also let Da Dai go out to take care of things like Xiao Huang, but Russell really dare not do that. There is no other reason, that is Da Dai puts the 'difficult' task of dazed in the first place all the time.

Especially recently, the technology of Da Dai has evolved to an unmatched level. In the past, when Da Dai was in a daze, he liked to find an open space and look up at the sky, but now Da Dai has practiced 'anytime, anywhere' and ' Summoning the masses' two dazed skills, in simple terms, means that Da Dai can immediately enter the empty daze state no matter where he is, not only that, as long as he starts to daze, the group of dumb beasts will be affected inexplicably. Induction, and then gather around him, so a single person in a daze will soon turn into a group daze.

So Russell can only let the bald-headed Da Dai be the mascot of the group, and among so many transformed contract beasts, Da Dai is also the most special, because Da Dai has never spoken a word of orc language, and even Xiao Dai Huang, whose IQ has only reached the level of orc infants, can speak some simple languages ​​after incarnation. Only Da Dai didn't say any other words to Russell except for the cry of 'dumb~dumb'.

However, Da Dai is not something that Russell needs to worry about, because Da Dai's ability to be lucky after the transformation is stronger. Not only that, but his power of thought has also increased. It can be said that his strength has increased a lot.

Russell has two training modes for transformed contracted beasts and non-transformed contracted beasts. In addition to arranging for them to familiarize themselves with their bodies as soon as possible, the transformed contracted beasts also need to teach them to master new fighting methods and abilities. As for the non-transformed contracted beasts The contracted beasts arranged for them to continue to develop their intelligence and strive to meet the requirements of the transformation as soon as possible.

After arranging the lessons of the contracted beast, Russell finally got a chance to rest. After obtaining the location of Sleka through the Phantom Eye, Russell went there.

The place where Sreka is located is not the lake, but a tree hole inhabited by water elves. When Russell walked there, he finally understood where Sreka’s washing water came from. It’s a pity that he arrived It was a bit late, so I didn't get to see Sreka doing laundry.

Sleka has changed back to human form at this time. It is no problem to transport clothes in wolf form, but it is a bit risky to transport them back. Although there are wooden barrels, wet clothes are easy to stain, so Sleka plans to In this way, the wooden barrel was moved back to the cabin, but before he had time to leave, Russell came to him.

"Thanks for your hard work." Russell originally thought that the picture of a man like Sleka holding a wooden barrel would be a bit inconsistent, but when he really saw Sleka in military uniform holding a wooden barrel with a serious face, especially When the wooden barrel was still filled with freshly washed clothes, he unexpectedly had a surprisingly harmonious picture, as if this man was born to be very suitable for housework. Is this an excuse for him to be lazy?

Russell waved this ridiculous thought out of his mind and said, "Aren't you going to ask me something?"

After a brief silence, Sreka said, "Clothes."

"Huh?" Russell raised an eyebrow.

"Let's dry it first."

"..." Russell was stunned. He looked at the generous back of the man in front of him in disbelief. At a time like this, would most people think that they should hang the clothes first? !How strict would this man be before he would give up? !

Russell held his forehead helplessly, but soon he was relieved, "Let's go, let's hang the clothes." Perhaps it was because of Sleka's personality that he had nothing to do with this man.

The two walked in the forest one after the other, and soon arrived at the cabin.Sreka found the bamboo pole used to dry the clothes with familiarity, and then assembled it silently. Seeing this, Russell held his forehead helplessly again. Sreka is even more familiar with where things are placed than he is. It really frustrates him.

After loading the bamboo poles and pulling up the rope, Russell handed over the clothes in the barrel to Sreka one by one. Although the two of them didn't speak, their actions cooperated very well.Russell looked at Sleka's serious expression on drying the clothes beside him, and suddenly felt that it would be good to just live like this for the rest of his life. At least someone would take care of the laundry and cooking, and he could be a veritable King of the Mountain.

"Ask an unrelated question." Maybe it was because the afternoon sun was very comfortable, so Russell suddenly became interested, "You also washed your grandpa's clothes?"

"There are servants."

"Is that so? That servant doesn't wash your clothes for you?" Russell was a little puzzled. If Sleka had been living under the care of servants since he left the army, it was absolutely impossible for him to be able to do laundry so proficiently. .

"Get used to it." Sleka took the clothes that Russell handed over, and carefully hung them on the bamboo poles. In order to fix them, he also used the most antique clips to ensure that the clothes would not be blown away by the wind.

Are you used to doing laundry by yourself?No, or it should be said that he is used to doing everything by himself, which is also in line with the character of a man who was thrown into the army since he was a child.

Russell handed the last few pieces of panties that sank to the bottom of the barrel to Sleka. I don't know if it was due to an illusion. Sleka, who was originally very efficient, moved a few beats slower than before when receiving the panties. However, since Sreka still had the usual unsmiling expression on his face, Russell didn't say anything more.

After drying all the clothes, Sleka automatically and consciously picked up the empty wooden barrel and entered the cabin with Russell. Because Xiao Huang and Sicily were helping out in the college area of ​​Beiwaisen, there was no one else in the cabin.

Russell originally wanted to continue the topic just now, but Sreka started taking out all kinds of luggage as soon as he entered the room, and started making beds according to the standard of the army. He seemed to be stationed here for a long time. It was so serious that it was too late for Russell to say any words of rejection.

"As I said, Sreka, if you are a man who can abandon your family, friends, and even the country, I will look down on you." Russell sighed softly, although he didn't want to be angry at this time. Sreka was cold, but the current situation made it impossible for him to keep Sreka here.

Sleka's body froze for a moment, and after a long time, he raised his head, stared deeply at Russell with those gray eyes that seemed to be able to see through other people's hearts, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

At this moment, Russell was stunned. He couldn't describe this feeling. It wasn't because of how terrifying Sreka's eyes were, but because he suddenly felt that maybe Sreka understood everything, but most of the time, this man chose to Just silence.

"Really..." Russell raised a faint smile on his lips, "Don't you want to know the answer to that question? You specifically asked Winster to ask me the answer."

Sreka didn't answer, but he looked at Russell and nodded silently.

"Before I answer, let me ask a question, why do you want to know the answer so much?"

"The reason for your persistence." Although the voice was still somewhat rigid and serious, there was a deep worry in those dark gray eyes that had never been seen before. Ever since hearing the answer Winster gave him, Si Reka has been thinking, what kind of self did Russell see from the eyes of the contracted beast?Perhaps this answer...is why Russell cared so much about contracted beasts, and even turned against the alliance. He wanted to get closer to Russell. For this, he had to know what Russell really thought.

"Actually, it's not an interesting answer." Russell closed his eyes, as if recalling the past, and slowly said, "It's just that the me reflected in the contracted beast is completely different from the me reflected in the orc's eyes. "

Russell still remembers the first time he saw Samoyed in a pet shop when he was a child. It was a snow-white puppy with black eyes like glass beads, and he had a feeling of innocence and kindness. The figure was reflected in Samoyed's eyes like that, as if he had become transparent and kind, that feeling...he would never forget it in his life, and since then, he has never been able to extricate himself.

Of course, this was just a simple liking for animals, so he went to medical school and went to work in a pet hospital after graduation, but the arrival of the end changed everything.

Russell slowly opened his eyes and said: "I have made many mistakes and killed many people. When I suddenly realized that my hands were covered with blood, I found that I had changed, I was no longer That’s who I used to be, in fact, that’s what I was.”

"During the battle, I can clearly see their fear of me from the bottom of the opponent's eyes, and I can clearly read their thoughts on me from the bottom of their eyes. Selfishness, cruelty, fear, all these negative emotions are accompanied by Seeing my reflection in their eyes, this is how I see myself in their eyes."

"But... only moving, no, it should be said that only contracted beasts are different, no matter what kind of person I am, no matter how evil thoughts I have in my heart, no matter how many people I have killed, or even how I use them, these The me reflected in the eyes of the contracted beasts is the original me."

"There is no killing, no betrayal, no intrigue, and I am just me in their eyes, without any other desires and emotions." Russell said with a light sigh: "I am relieved because of this, I got redemption. Of course, it’s just me avoiding to admit who I really am, and I hope that I will always be the one who stayed at the beginning, so I can’t let go.”

"It's just a psychological effect." Sleka frowned deeply. He didn't know what else to say at this time. Judging from Russell's words, he was already seriously ill. It was not a physical illness, but a It is spiritual. It is impossible to have completely pure things in this world. Even contracted beasts are the same. Contracted beasts are also creatures. They will be happy and afraid. If someone wants to kill them, the eyes of contracted beasts will There will be fear, so that what Russell said is simply impossible to come true.

"Maybe." Today, Russell has long been unable to distinguish his true thoughts, but he is certain of one thing, "Sreka, do you know? It's not that contracted beasts need me, but that I They're needed, that's the answer."

Sreka was silent. At this moment, he finally understood where the disobedience and uneasiness he felt after meeting Russell came from. Not only did Russell transfer all his emotions to the contracted beast, but It's the kind of crazy idea hidden under the indifferent expression that is desperate to guard the contracted beast even if it betrays everyone around it.

"Sorry." Sleka lowered his head, his black hair blocked his eyes, and only half of his cold face was exposed, making him look a bit like a dejected giant wolf. He originally thought he was very far from Russell. It's getting closer, but he didn't realize until now that he didn't know Russell, and he didn't even know what it was that had troubled and tortured Russell for a long time.
