【Ruijin】Eye of the Storm

Doesn't leave any real wetness behind.Jin looked at the gray wolf's beautiful and deep purple eyes, and knew its identity in his heart.

Standing in the distance, Gray helplessly and sternly yelled "Slash" to his self-acting mental body, with a certain degree of warning in his voice.Sure enough, Gray Wolf heard the master's implicit order, stood up reluctantly, slipped away from Jin's hands, and ran back to Gray.

Jin stood up again, with surprise in his eyes: "This is Grey's spiritual body, right? It's called Lie Zhan?"

Gray sighed, turned his head away slightly: "Yeah."

"Your mental body is a wolf! You're so handsome!" Jin praised sincerely, "By the way, actually I—"

The radio announcement of the start of the second round of exams abruptly interrupted the conversation between Jin and Grey, and they looked at each other in unison, and the space seemed to stand still for a moment.

Jin put his hands down by his side and broke the silence first: "Since everyone is here, let's have a fight, Gray." He thought for a while and added: "Although I know you must be very good, but Don't release water on me, I am very serious."

Gray looked at him: "Do you know what to do when the guide and the sentinel confront each other?"

Jin thought for a while, and replied honestly: "I know how to use my ability, and I have succeeded just now."

"It's just a fluke," Gray commented mercilessly, "the guide can't confront the sentries head-on, if you don't have [-]% level crushing power, you should choose to run away and ask for help. This is the most important thing in this actual combat training Purpose."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Bie saw Gray approaching him quickly.He didn't even have time to see the opponent's figure clearly, and Gray had already appeared less than half a meter in front of him.Jin immediately wanted to use the same ability as he did to Kelly just now, but found that Gray's speed was too fast, even much faster than Kelly. on the side wall.

Jin's nerves were completely tense. He never thought that in just a few months, the gap between himself and Gray would be so large. The Sentinel had won an overwhelming victory before even using his Yuanli weapon.

They were so close that Jin could almost see his own reflection in Gray's ice-like purple eyes, but Jin was surprised to find that Gray wasn't looking at him, but was staring at the spot on his cheek where Kelly was covered. The wound made by the weapon, the cat-like pupils instantly constricted like a beast, making the expression on the face of the already inaccessible person even more fierce.

This kind of Gray made Jin feel strange, and he shouted the other party's name under his throat, but Gray was still indifferent.He wanted to break free from the shackles of the sentinel, but the large movements of his struggles further pulled the wound.Jin could feel a little itching on his cheek, where warm blood was slowly oozing from the opening there.

Jin didn't know what happened, but felt that the sentinel in front of him was so terrifying that his body trembled unconsciously as if being controlled.The blond guide had no idea of ​​the great attraction of his own blood to the Sentinels. Gray's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he could hardly control the possessive and manic factors screaming in his body, like a hungry Like an overactive patient, he cannot restrain his urge to absorb "nutrients".

——Want to touch, want to get, want to be relieved.

Gray clasped Jin's body as if he was a prey, and the tip of their noses almost touched.

Sudden shrill sirens sounded all around them, Jin trembled in fright, and Gray froze in place for an instant.Jin saw that the sentinel seemed to be poured a basin of ice water over his head, his purple eyes were a little out of focus, and the power to suppress him instantly weakened, and his whole person looked shaky.

Jin didn't care about his sore arm, and hurriedly supported the silver-haired boy's shoulder, and called out worriedly: "Gerry...? Grey? You-"

The sentinel covered Jin's mouth.His condition was obviously not good, his lips were pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead as if he was sick.Gray didn't say anything, his chin rubbed against Jin's blond hair, accompanied by the sharp sirens and the footsteps of the crowd rushing around, suddenly turned his head a little bit, and slammed his forehead hard behind Jin without hesitation. on a solid wall.

Jin's voice was stuck in his throat, and he watched a lot of blood flow from Gray's forehead.The blood flowed down the contour of his forehead, crossed his brows, and stained his eyelashes. The sentry wiped away the obstructing blood that blocked his vision with his arm, as if his body was just a machine and could not feel the slightest pain.He seemed to have escaped from the huge shake just now, and returned to his usual calm and stable appearance.

Jin whined a few times in a hurry, and grabbed Gray's hand covering his mouth.

"—I'm fine," Gray whispered to Jin before he could speak, his voice was hoarse and dry, "don't worry, don't say it."

As soon as Grey finished speaking, a person jumped into the training ground from above.Jin looked over Gray's shoulder and found that the person who came was the dark-skinned sentinel instructor named Yinjue.

He held a scoreboard in his hand, and used the authority card to stop the screaming alarm bell.Gray took a deep breath, secretly pushed Jin back a little, turned around by himself, and looked directly at Yinjue with a calm expression.

Yin Jue's gaze paused on Jin's face, but he immediately turned to his sentinel trainees, and said in a deep voice, "Your sentry quality has exceeded the standard."

Gray remained silent, allowing him to probe.

Seeing that Ge Rui didn't mean to answer the reason, Yinjue seemed to have a basic guess about the situation.He was silent for a while, stepped forward and took off the No. 3 badge on Gray's chest, and threw it on the ground.

The number plate coasted for a short distance on the ground and stopped right at Jin's feet.He looked down and felt that his heart was crushed like a piece of waste paper.The blond boy's eyes were sore and swollen, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

"A sentinel that cannot be controlled by itself is a waste, and there is no need for waste to live," Yin Jue said, "Do you understand?"

Gray's back froze for a moment, and after a while, Jin heard his answer: "Understood."

Yin Jue turned around and gave Gray a final order before leaving the venue: "The confinement room will last three days, and report after bandaging."

In the three days after the actual combat training, Jin lived in a muddle.Zitang Huan was very worried about this, but he couldn't comfort him much.He already understood that the Sentinel named Gray meant a lot to Jin. Although Zitang didn't know what happened in the training ground that day, the rumors that "the top student of the Sentinel failed the first battle assessment" had already passed. It quickly spread throughout the sanctuary.

"Confinement is just the most common punishment in sentry training," Zitang Huan tentatively said to Jin during another unpleasant lunch, "Gary will be fine."

The blond-haired guide shook his head with a gloomy expression: "It's not this. I just don't know why Gray did that, it was so sudden. He's always been great, I know his, he shouldn't... he shouldn't get such grades .So there must be something wrong."

Zitang Huan opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.The two fell silent together at the dining table in the cafeteria.

After a while, Zitang suddenly heard Jin say abruptly: "No, today is the last day, and there will be no more chances after that. I have to go see him."

The purple-haired guide was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab Jin's cuff: "Wait, wait, who are you going to see? Gray? No way, Jin, this is too..."

"It's okay." Jin picked up his tableware, and looked at the daily patrol personnel standing by the guide cafeteria talking from a distance, with firm eyes, "I will definitely find a way, see me."

The Sentinel's dormitory is located in the southwest corner of the sanctuary. It is divided into two buildings according to gender, two people share a room, and they have their own bathroom and bathroom.It was already late at night when Gray walked out of the confinement room. After signing at the door, he returned to his dormitory room alone.

It is indeed very common in the sanctuary for sentries to be locked up for making mistakes in training.The sentinels are physically strong, and they can even go without food or drink for a few days if necessary, so what really tortures people is not the prison-like environment, but the chaotic and boundless darkness and silence.

Silence, this word is actually a bit rare for the sentinel.The overly sensitive hearing after awakening makes them rarely get real "quiet".For Grey, the darkness in the confinement room was too easy to induce the unsteadiness in his heart.He could use the pain to force himself to calm down from the sentinel's mania, but he couldn't use the same method to resolve those ghost-like painful memories in the confinement room.

He could only think constantly of Kim, and of the days they had spent together in Dengkru and Cho.Chewing on the past that has been endowed with strong colors can help him find clarity in the darkness. Even though he is suffering, at least he will not be addicted to it and cannot extricate himself from it. For Gray, this is enough.

The uniform on his body has begun to emit a strange smell because it has not been cleaned for three days.Gray frowned and endured the stimulation of smell, and opened the door of the room with the key.His roommate had already fallen asleep on the bed with mute headphones, and Gray walked lightly back to the private shower on his side, and took off his clothes in twos and twos.

Hot water poured down from the hood, Gray lowered his head and propped his hands on the tiled wall, letting the water wash his back and the back of his head, and closed his eyes.

He couldn't help but think of Jin he saw at the training ground.He seems to have grown a bit taller than when he just left Dengeru, Gray thought to himself, a boy in his teens is still in the stage of physical development, and he seems to have changed after three days.

——When getting close to Jin, Gray could clearly smell the guide element from his bamboo horse for the first time.He clearly knew that this so-called "taste" was just the result of the brain's self-imagining and deception. It was written in black and white in the textbook that "guide pheromones are colorless and tasteless", but Gray still stubbornly felt that Jin's guide pheromones had a unique flavor. unique atmosphere.

He couldn't describe it in detail.This is so unreasonable, just like him who passed all the anti-guidrin induction training with full marks, but when he was faced with such a small wound on Jin's cheek, he was forced to panic by the trace pheromone carried in the oozing blood drop. Like out of control, it can't be explained logically at all.

Rather than saying it was an accident, it would be better to admit that this was a kind of emotion beyond the scope of his ability to cause trouble in his body.

After taking a shower, Gray hesitated for a moment, then took the dry towel hanging beside him and wiped his wet hair casually a few times.After his hair was half dry, the sentinel lay flat on his bed and relaxed all the muscles in his body.

Gray stared at the ceiling directly above with his eyes open. His exhausted brain nerves had already experienced three days of tug-of-war, but at this moment, he still didn't feel sleepy.

At this moment, a few knocks came from the only window in the room.Gray was stunned for a moment, then quietly propped up his upper body and took a look, but there was nothing outside the window.He frowned and lay down again, but less than 5 minutes later, the familiar knocking sound sounded again.

The silver-haired sentry stood up and walked to the window in a few strides.As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a familiar face appearing outside the glass window in the next second: Jin Ding, with messy blond hair mixed with dead leaves and grass roots, stepped on the water pipe outside the third floor and was using both hands Holding the wooden window frame, he showed a bright smile at Geri.

At that moment, Gray deeply felt that his heart had made an emergency landing in just a few seconds, and even had hallucinations.He was only stunned for a second, then quickly opened the window and pulled the person in.When Jin stepped into the sentinel dormitory, Gray's roommate suddenly turned over.Both of them broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and both of them paused for a long time in a strange posture, making sure that the other party showed no signs of being woken up before continuing.

Gray took Jin's hand and ran through the long dormitory corridor to the water room at the end, and locked the door behind his back.

The water room was narrow and dark, only a small ventilation window on the top let in a little dim moonlight, hitting the two young men.

They huddled together facing each other, breathing slowly together.Gray only wore unlined clothing, with his back leaning against the cold wall, and his front leaning against Jin, looking from the side as if he was half-embracing the guide.

After making sure that he was not spotted by the inspecting managers, Gray finally turned his attention back to the people around him, only to find that Jin was staring down at their hands that were intertwined.Gray was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously wanting to let go.Unexpectedly, as soon as the touching skin separated, Jin's hand caught up impatiently, and wrapped Gray's cold and slender five fingers between his warm fingers, and clasped them tightly.

No one spoke, and the beating of the heart overwhelmed the sound of dripping water in the water room for an instant.

Jin looked up at Gray's face, but in just three days, the wound on his forehead had only a scar the size of a grain of rice. The sentinel's self-healing ability was really extraordinary.With his free other hand, Jin pushed aside the silvery hair scattered on his forehead, touched the scar lightly, and asked in a low voice, "...does it still hurt?"

Gray pulled his hand and shook his head: "It's okay. It's nothing to the sentinel."

"I didn't ask 'Sentry,'" King looked at him, emphasizing every word, "I was asking you, Gray."

The silver-haired boy naturally understood what he meant.He closed his eyes, touched his forehead lightly, and replied in a low voice: "I'm fine, really."

Jin pulled him to squat down, and the two of them were like small animals huddling together in the snow to keep warm, talking softly with each other.

"I don't want to stay here anymore," Jin said. "Let's go and find my sister. If we don't go back to Dengleu, we will go out in the world and find a place to live together."

Gray was silent for a while before speaking again: "We have no other place to go except here."

Jin bit his lower lip, looking sad: "There is always room for it..."

Gray looked serious: "The Sanctuary is only temporary. In two years, after graduation, we will go to the tower. Sister Qiu and Daniel, they both come from the first tower. If you want to find Sister Qiu, all the clues can only come from there Get it. We can get out of here when the rating is out."

"As long as you go to the 'tower', won't they let you and me separate, Gray?" Jin asked hopefully.

"..."

The silver-haired sentry didn't answer directly, paused, and continued: "Don't do this again next time, Jin. It's too risky."

Knowing that he was referring to things like tonight when he climbed the water pipe and turned over the window to find him in the dormitory, Jin immediately became depressed again: "Why not? If not, I don't know what to do to see you."

"You don't understand." Gray's voice sounded helpless, "Most of the sentinels here have not yet established a mature barrier. Once discovered, they will...will hurt you. The guide's pheromone is too easy to induce The Sentinels are out of control."

"Did you also suffer from this at the training ground?" Kim looked at him. "I had blood on my face because of the pheromones."

"……You knew already?"

Jin nodded: "Guess. But Zitang did mention to me before that the pheromone content in the guide's blood is very high. I thought about it, and it can only be the reason."

Gray frowned: "...Who is Zitang?"

"Zitang Huan is also a guide, my new friend," Jin Chong winked at him and said with a smile, "Zitang is a very nice person, don't worry. He won't say anything about my coming to you .”

Gray didn't speak. It's been a long time since Jin called someone other than himself a "friend". It was so long that Gray even mistakenly thought that this word should be monopolized by him for the rest of his life. .

Jin didn't notice Gray's complicated emotions, and continued to explain in a low voice: "Zitang said that, except for the sentries and guides who have been combined with sentries, they should not have too much contact until the level is assessed. Is it true?"

"... Sentinels and guides with too much difference in level cannot become combined sentinels. Because once combined, they can no longer partner with other people. To some extent, this is a waste of resources," Gray thought about the wording, "So, sort of."

"Why is it impossible to combine?" Jin seemed to be talking to Gray, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "If it were me, there would be no difference between grades and grades, right? Anyway, I just want to be with Gray .”

Jin's words were too straightforward, and there was no possibility that they could be misinterpreted as other meanings.Gray watched the only reflection of himself in the other party's blue eyes slowly enlarge, Jin leaned over gently, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, lightly touched the corner of the silver-haired sentinel's lips.

"Can't you, Gray?" Jin whispered.

One late night in Yita Sanctuary, the small water room was like a huge dream.

"Why not," his guide said to him, breathing tremblingly like spring water, knocking on the stone.

Gray didn't speak, and acquiesced to Jin's actions.There are some things that no one intends to deny from the very beginning, it just needs time to be watered and cultivated by sunshine.

In their gray past, outside the same impenetrable heart wall, there was always someone holding a bouquet of flowers and pushing the dusty casement open, and offering all the stored love wholeheartedly.

Gray's hand went through the fluffy blond hair on the back of Jin's head and pressed to his neck. The sentry fell back, and the guide followed him.They exchanged the first complete kiss in their lives in the corner of the water room. It was green and pure, but without the slightest reservation. They tried their best to cling, rub and absorb.

After both parties moved away slightly, Jin stared at the little sweat stain on the tip of Gray's nose and grinned.The sentry backhanded out the opponent's hand that had been inserted into his jacket while he was not prepared, and held it in his palm. The slightly bowed posture made it difficult for Jin to see his expression at this moment.

"You haven't said it yet," Jin blushed, and he pulled his collar and asked persistently, "Is it okay? It's about the union."

Gray turned his face away unnaturally, as if he was desperately enduring something, and after a while he replied in a muffled voice: "...wait until you grow up."

Jin withdrew his hand: "You are obviously only a little older than me, don't talk like my sister."

Gray couldn't help him at all: "Then what do you want to say?"

Jin let his body slide down a bit, leaned his head close to Gray's chest, and heard the powerful beating sound of Gray's heart there.

"Let us go to the Tower," so he said, "—when we grow up together."
