Chen Zhi walked up to Ji Ying and looked at her chapped lips:
"I asked you just now. You will be free tonight. If you haven't had water for three days, can you still hold on?"
"This is nothing...",
Ji Ying lowered her head and looked at the ground, the expression on her face was a little stiff.
"In our past missions, we often went without food for several days, and we have long been used to it!"
"oh……",
Chen Zhi nodded slightly,
Do you know why you are being punished?"
Chen Zhi looked at Ji Ying and asked.
"Know."
Ji Ying replied in a deep voice:
"Violating the principles of the organization and releasing people from Wuhou Valley without permission is a crime of disobedience!"
"It's not because of this...",
Chen Zhi shook his head gently and looked at Ji Ying softly:
"The leader punishes you to let you know not to change yourself because of anything!
You turned out to be a person who would not disobey orders under any circumstances, even to the point of being paranoid. This is the best character for a samurai.
What the leader wants to know is, why did you let the young men from Baijia go that time?
Especially Baike, why do you show him extra mercy?
Did he have anything to tempt or coerce you?"
"No!" Ji Ying replied softly.
"Why is that?
You are such a stubborn person.
What could be the reason for you to disobey the organization's orders and secretly let them go?",
When Chen Zhi said this, his expression suddenly became very serious. He looked at Ji Ying's eyes seriously. Without mentioning every detail of the expression on her face, he could easily understand any words Ji Ying said now.
Hear what is true and what is false.
"Warrior Ji Ying, let me ask you, do you have love for Baike?
It’s the kind of love between a man and a woman!”
"No?"
When Ji Ying answered this question, she did not hesitate, her eyes were very steady, and there was obviously no element of lying involved.
"That's just a boy much younger than me!"
"A boy? Haha~~~",
Chen Zhi smiled, pulled up a crimson chair next to him, and sat on it,
"He doesn't think of himself as a child. In the end, with his ability, he will probably die together with me.
Or maybe, if he wins, he will kill me and come out!
Then the world may change because of him, and all of us will have to return to the era of slavery.
So in the end, it was you who saved the world?"
"None of this has anything to do with me!",
Ji Ying still lowered her head, with beads of sweat on her long eyelashes.
"Please forgive me for not having the mind of a leader or clan leader. I am just an ordinary person. I helped him because I pity him too much!
That's the sympathy between warriors. Those children are so good, they have wonderful bones, and they are all rare and good candidates for learning physical skills.
Moreover, they have no miscellaneous things in their hearts, no desires, no desire to get any honors, and they will not resort to any means to become stronger. We are beyond our reach in this regard.
I guess my father had the same idea as me at the time. He didn't want to lose these young people, and he couldn't bear to do it.
Patriarch, you should advise the leader to take these young men into your own hands in the future!
They may become our organization's strongest warriors!"
"The innocent boy you see now, under certain circumstances, may become your talisman if given certain conditions."
Chen Zhi lowered his head and looked at Ji Ying's face,
"We can let some people go, but we can't be kind to women!
We should not put kindness on principle, because the price of kindness is very high in the bloody storm.
Sometimes one wrong step requires countless lives to make up for it, so wrong kindness is a crime.
Also, I hope you can return to your former self. As a warrior, you don’t need to worry about these upper-level matters."
"Yes!" Ji Ying responded silently and lowered her eyes.
Chen Zhi still looked at Ji Ying's pale face,
"So, what about Bai Ke?
How do you remember him now?"
"No memories!"
When Ji Ying heard this name, her whole body shivered like an electric shock. She seemed to really not want to mention this name.
"He said before he died,
Let me forget about him!
Then forget about it..."
“Forgetting is not something people can do if they want to!
And as far as I know, the more you want to forget something, the easier it is to remember it.
You have to understand one thing: don't easily feel guilty, let alone be swayed by guilt.
Ji Ying, do you understand what I say?
Don’t let guilt become your inner demon!”
"Inner demon?"
Ji Ying suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Zhi. Her eyebrows suddenly stood up. After being thirsty for three days, tears actually shone in her eyes.
"It's you who turned your guilt into a demon, right?"
After Ji Ying finished speaking, tears began to fall. These rolling tears looked extremely distressed on her dry and beautiful face, making her feel as if her heart was being torn.
Her chapped lips trembled, and after staring at her mind for a long time, she said tremblingly:
"Clan leader, your inner demon is still there, right?"
After Ji Ying finished speaking, she looked at Chen Zhi with deep eyes. In front of these eyes, it seemed that all the lies were meaningless.
Chen Zhi looked at Ji Ying at this moment and really wanted to say something panicky, a lie that all men would tell.
It is a kind of white lie that can make people's hearts less heavy and give them hope.
However, Chen Zhi couldn't say it out, especially when facing Ji Ying's eyes at this moment. No matter what, he couldn't say it out.
Chen Zhi didn't give Ji Ying any answer, and then turned and left.
He could feel Ji Ying's tears flowing down like a fountain behind him, breaking Chen Zhi's heart.
Human beings are really wonderful creatures. They can neither control their own feelings nor understand their own feelings.
Sometimes you will develop feelings for people out of nowhere and be unable to extricate yourself.
Sometimes even if you try hard to love someone, no matter how good the other person is or how good the reasons are, you still can't do it.
Therefore, human love is the only thing that cannot be controlled by others, including yourself.
There is no need for any reason to love or not to love.
After coming out of the Blood Talisman Camp, Chen Zhi did not participate in the training activities of the warriors in the organization. Instead, he went directly to the Dafa Temple and prepared to go home tonight.
He needs to have an online interview with his father today to talk about the new gadget his father made for him, that unique human weapon...
