Chapter 7 Chapter 7

Luo Shizhen helped Chu Xiao to the bathroom and looked at the wood elves flying around inside with some surprise.

“There are some here too?”

"Well, there are surveillance cameras in other places, but it's not convenient to put surveillance cameras in the bathroom, so the one here is the wood spirit, so if there is a problem, the wood spirit will send out an alarm."

Chu Xiao seemed to be in a good mood, but suddenly stopped, adjusted himself, and looked at Luo Shizhen with a serious expression:

"Shi Zhen, after you enroll, do not come into contact with awakened people other than me, especially Qin Yinian."

Luo Shi really didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped to this point, and looked puzzled: "Why? Aren't we here to go to school?"

How can you go to school without interacting with classmates?

"They are dangerous."

Chu Xiao stared at Luo Shizhen and said word by word, "Did you see the gloves Qin Yinian was wearing? Do you know why he was wearing them?"

"Know."

Chu Xiao was stunned: "You know?"

Luo Shizhen said in a boastful tone, as if to say, "I know a big secret":

"Qin Yinian has mysophobia. It's spread all over our class. They say his family is extremely wealthy and he rides a helicopter to school. He's also allergic to girls. If a girl touches him, he'll suffocate to death. Only true love can make him less allergic, so he wears gloves for everything he does."

For this reason, Luo Shizhen secretly sympathized with Qin Yinian in his heart.

Chu Xiao: “…”

The people in Class 3 usually spread all sorts of nonsense.

He said coldly, "He wears gloves because he can't control his abilities. On the first day Qin Yinian awakened his abilities, he burned his house, causing three people in his family to suffer severe burns, eleven to suffer moderate burns, and twenty-five to suffer minor burns."

Luo Shizhen opened his eyes wide: "There are so many people in his family."

Chu Xiao knocked him on the forehead: "Is this the point?"

"The point is, he can't control himself. He will indiscriminately hurt everyone around him. That's why he transferred to No. 3 Middle School. My abilities clash with his, and I can suppress him and keep him from losing control."

"But as time went on, I couldn't control him anymore. So if he talks to you, just ignore him and stay away from him. If he loses control, you can't avoid him."

Seeing Luo Shizhen looking at him with eyes wide open, which made him look particularly obedient, Chu Xiao softened his tone slightly:

"Do you want to be burned?"

Luo Shizhen quickly shook his head.

He didn't want to think about it. When he was a child, he helped his grandmother to light the fire and was burned by the fire in the stove. It was so painful.

Chu Xiao was satisfied: "Then stay away from Qin Yinian."

Luo Shizhen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "But why can't I contact other students?"

He also wants to make friends with his classmates.

In Class 3, although most of the male students didn't play with him much, Zhang Chuan would occasionally talk to him, and the female students in the class were also very friendly.

According to Luo Shizhen's experience, female classmates are generally kinder, and he once fantasized about whether he could have a romantic relationship.

Later, I accidentally heard a few female classmates chatting.

"Shi Zhen looks like a small furry animal, so cute."

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too. It's so cute."

Luo Shizhen's newly awakened desire for premature love suddenly shattered into pieces.

Cute, like a small animal, in his opinion, this is obviously not a good description for a man who is suitable for mate selection.

He didn't understand and was depressed about it for a long time.

Obviously, he is not short, at 178cm tall, although not 180cm, he is already very tall. Moreover, although his academic performance is not good, he exercises regularly and has four abdominal muscles.

He can still work in the fields. Every time his fifth uncle asks him to help in the fields, he praises him for pulling the plow faster than an ox.

The physical education teacher also said that his physical fitness was the best in the class.

Why, why is it cute?

Luo Shizhen thought that it must be because he was too shy when he first started school and failed to leave a good impression on the girls in the class.

After Teacher Chen confirmed that he would go to the Awakener School, Luo Shizhen secretly vowed that he must not be too shy this time and speak louder to people. Maybe, he could have a wonderful love affair in school.

Luo Shizhen said in a low voice a little nervously:

"Well, everyone has different personalities, right? Not everyone is like Qin Yinian, right? I just want to get in touch with people who have good tempers."

"It's all the same."

Chu Xiao didn't know what he was thinking about. A hint of gloom appeared on his bright face. He lowered his eyes and said in a light tone:

"Awakened people are all crazy. You will know it sooner or later."

He waved his hand to shoo away a small wood elf. "Do you know why even the bathroom is monitored by wood elves? Because the Awakened can go crazy at any time, so even the bathroom needs to be monitored. However, considering the so-called privacy, there are no monitors, just some wood elves."

It was really hard for Luo Shi to imagine a school full of crazy people. If everyone was crazy, shouldn't they all be sent to a mental hospital?

He said weakly: "But, but Teacher Chen said that I am also an awakened one. I think I am doing well now."

The doctor in the white coat just now gave him a psychological test and praised him for his excellent mental health.

"Besides, Teacher Chen seems to be in good condition, and you and Qin Yinian don't look like you're going crazy."

"That's because we are pretending, suppressing, and restraining ourselves."

Chu Xiao stretched out his hand, and the young man's slender white fingers gently pressed on Luo Shizhen's chest, feeling the steady and strong heartbeat.

He stared straight at Luo Shizhen: "Do you feel it?"

Luo Shizhen was confused: "What are you feeling?"

"Every Awakened person can feel this: the higher the Sequence Level, the more out of control they become. They want to invade, attack, feel angry, violent, want to tear things apart, and also want to... possess."

"This is also a kind of pollution, but we remain sober for a long time before being completely polluted."

"Every time they undertake a mission, every time they face something strange, the Awakeners will become more polluted. That's why the security officer brought you to Luoxia City for testing because you are suspected of having the ability to purify. This is because Awakeners with the ability to purify can prevent the Awakeners from being completely polluted."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and his figure involuntarily moved closer to Luo Shizhen.

Chu Xiao's gaze dropped to his earlobe, which was small and very white. He couldn't help but move closer.

At the end, the tone was almost like whispering in Luo Shizhen's ear.

"I once hoped that you weren't an Awakened, but now that you are one, at least we are the same kind."

"Luo Shizhen, do you feel the same as I do?"

Luo Shizhen felt that his ears were a little itchy from his breath.

If Chu Xiao hadn't been talking, he almost thought the other party had turned into a zombie and wanted to bite him.

He shrank his neck and the hairs on his back stood up. Yes, it was the same reaction as when he encountered zombies before.

"Chu Xiao, you're a little weird..."

"Is it strange? I don't think so." Chu Xiao murmured, his eyes gradually filled with darkness, and he moved closer, his lips almost touching the white earlobe.

Further down, there are shoulders of moderate width.

Why didn’t I notice it before? Luo Shi really has a great body and a firm chest. He once showed off that his physical education teacher praised him for his well-developed chest muscles.

It's just that Luo Shizhen is too shy. He always looks at everyone with a pair of harmless and clear eyes. He looks so easy to bully that people ignore how great his body is.

Chu Xiao's gaze continued to move downwards, and the chest muscles hidden under the clothes were caressed with every breath, appearing and disappearing, feeling soft to the touch, and looking full of health and vitality.

Luo Shizhen's waist is also very tight and strong, making people want to pinch it and feel what it feels like.

Chu Xiao's breathing became a little faster than before, and he slowly stretched out his hand...

--Bang!

The next second, he was pushed out several steps. Because of his inconvenient legs, he stumbled and bumped into the door, almost falling down.

Luo Shizhen pushed the person reflexively before realizing:

"I'm sorry, I forgot to control my strength again. Are you okay, Chu Xiao?"

Since childhood, Chu Xiao's physique has not been as good as his. Although he is tall, he is not as strong as him. Therefore, when facing him, Luo Shizhen has always been used to controlling his strength.

He hurried forward to help Chu Xiao, carefully checking whether his legs were injured.

"How do you purify it? Let me purify you?"

The confusion in Chu Xiao's eyes was completely interrupted by this. He closed his eyes and suppressed the annoyance rising in his heart.

"I'm fine. No need. You don't even know how to use your abilities."

——He is back to normal.

Luo Shizhen felt this, and he looked at Chu Xiao worriedly: "Chu Xiao, were you going crazy just now?"

He nervously observed Chu Xiao's teeth, and then raised two fingers in front of him:

"Are you going to bite me? Are you going to turn into a zombie? Chu Xiao, what time is this?"

Luo Shi's genuine concern made Chu Xiao feel much better. He didn't like being like a wild beast, completely controlled by instinct.

But that's what the awakened ones are like.

But at least, he has Luo Shizhen by his side.

Chu Xiao opened his eyes, his gaze fixed: "What are you doing with the mop?"

Luo Shizhen made a number 2 with one hand, and with the other hand, he held the bathroom mop between the two of them and explained seriously:

"I'm afraid you'll turn into a zombie and bite me. If you do, I can use this mop to block your mouth."

This was a little trick he got when he fought the flying zombie last time. As long as he blocked its mouth, the zombie wouldn't be able to bite him.

Chu Xiao looked at the wet mop that had obviously just been used by the cleaner:

"...You want to stuff this toilet mop into my mouth?"

Luo Shizhen looked at his face and explained in a low voice with a guilty conscience:

"The bathroom only has a mop and a toilet brush. You like cleanliness, but I can't use a toilet brush..."

For a moment, Chu Xiao didn't know whether he should thank Luo Shizhen for remembering that he loved cleanliness.

"Let go, I'm fine, and I won't turn into a zombie."

Luo Shizhen hesitated and quietly checked Chu Xiao's expression again. After being glared at coldly by him, he reluctantly put the mop back in its place.

No matter how much regret Chu Xiao felt, it was all dispelled by Luo Shizhen's sudden move.

He took a deep breath and got back to the point: "You saw it. That was a loss of control. You can understand it as when an awakened person loses control, their animal instincts overwhelm their human instincts. You haven't had that reaction yet, probably because you've just awakened. You'll understand after a while."

"So when we enter the Awakener School, we will be assigned a lot of training, which is to exhaust our physical strength and make the Awakeners who have just learned to control themselves exhausted and unable to lose control."

Luo Shizhen listened and said blankly: "It's like raising a husky."

Chu Xiao was puzzled: "What?"

"Exactly. Zhang Chuan has a dog, a Husky. He says Huskies are too energetic and always want to destroy things. So his nanny walks the dog for several hours every day. Zhang Chuan says that if the Husky's energy is used up, it won't destroy things anymore."

Chu Xiao listened so much that veins on his forehead almost popped out: "Luo Shizhen, you said I was a dog?"

Luo Shizhen whispered: "No, I just said it's a bit similar, and I like dogs very much, dogs are so cute and furry..."

Seeing Chu Xiao's expression of "What the hell are you talking about?", he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way! Don't you want to go to the bathroom?!"

"Are your legs comfortable? Can I help you hold them up?"

He naturally reached out to pull down Chu Xiao's pants, but was dodged nimbly.

Luo Shizhen was puzzled and looked at Chu Xiao, who was limping but had run a long way away. "What are you doing?"

"Why should I ask you?"

Chu Xiao blushed slightly: "Why are you taking off my pants?"

Luo Shi really didn't understand why he looked like this:

"You have to take off your pants when you go to the bathroom, right?"

Chu Xiao's ears turned red, and his lips trembled a few times: "You don't have to take off your pants."

Luo Shizhen was confused: "How can I help you with your little ** if I don't take off your pants for you?"

Then he saw Chu Xiao's face flushed red instantly, as if he had eaten a super hot pepper.

"Luo Shizhen! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Shizhen felt very wronged by Chu Xiao's harsh words. He didn't know why Chu Xiao's tone suddenly became so bad:

"If you don't want me to help you, then don't. Why are you so fierce? You can be fierce with me if I do something wrong, but I'm just concerned about you right now. I get angry too!"

He muttered:

"Didn't you just say your legs hurt and you couldn't stand steadily? If I don't help you hold on, you'll pee sideways. It's so unhygienic. I'll have to clean it up after that."

The option of just ignoring it if the ground was soiled did not occur to him. Luo Shi was determined not to do such an unethical thing.

Chu Xiao has a problem with his legs, so of course he has to be the one to clean the house.

Chu Xiao's face was so red that he could almost cosplay Guan Gong. He opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but closed it again.

Then he limped into the compartment and slammed the door shut.

Luo Shizhen scratched his head, feeling a little aggrieved, but still concerned about his friend, and shouted again:

"Then I'll wait for you outside. If you can't do it yourself, call me and I'll help you."

With a click, Chu Xiao locked the compartment.

Luo Shi really thought that this might be what Chu Xiao meant by losing control. He probably didn't lose his temper on purpose, but he just couldn't control himself after becoming an awakened person.

Thinking about it this way, he was not angry with Chu Xiao at all.

In fact, when Chu Xiao was not angry, he was quite nice to him. After all, they were good friends who grew up together. Chu Xiao also often helped him with his homework, so it was okay for him to be tolerant when he lost his temper.

Luo Shizhen was trying to comfort himself when he suddenly seemed to hear a chuckle coming from behind.

It wasn't Chu Xiao's voice.

He looked around in confusion, but didn't see anyone. He was too embarrassed to knock on the doors of other compartments, so he could only continue to wait quietly for Chu Xiao.

Soon, Chu Xiao came out. He still looked cold and refused Luo Shizhen's help. After washing his hands, he went out first with a cane.

"Chu Xiao, walk slower, be careful of your legs hurting!"

Seeing that he was walking so fast, Luo Shizhen was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly followed him and chased after him.

After they left, the innermost compartment door opened. The man nodded his fingers, and the awakened one, who was lying on the ground like mud, took off into the air. The wood elves who had been following the awakened one and pecking at him to clean up the pollution for him also quickly followed and flew up.

The awakened person felt his body being lifted into the air, coughed, and opened his eyes dazedly.

Seeing that it was him, the Awakened One laughed: "Sui An, it's you, am I having another attack?"

The man raised his leg and went out. Behind him, the awakened one who had taken off into the air also floated and followed, following him like a balloon.

Sui An had sharp eyebrows and eyes, and he was still in his combat uniform, looking like a lazy black panther. However, everyone in Yong Zhou knew that he was much scarier than a black panther.

"I heard something happened to you right after I got back, so I came looking for you right away."

Even as he said this, his pace remained steady, just like his tone:

"This attack isn't serious, but don't go on any more missions for the next two days. The pollution level in your body is very high. Be careful not to completely lose your mind."

The Awakened One flipped over in mid-air, still in a boneless state:

"Isn't it serious? Why do I feel like I'm hallucinating? I seem to hear someone saying that they need to help the little girl or something."

Obviously, Sui An couldn't possibly say such a thing, so it could only be an auditory hallucination.

He was very self-aware: "Oh my god, why are my auditory hallucinations so violent? I really am a violent person."

Sui An thought of something and chuckled, "It's not an auditory hallucination."

"Huh? Don't tell me you said that? I'm going to have a nightmare."

Sui An: "It's a little kid. From the looks of it, he's a new student at the school."

The awakened one tried to open his eyes, but failed, so he just closed them and chatted with his eyes closed:

"New student, are young people nowadays already being obscene at this age?"

"I remember that you're the new instructor for this class. It's hard to imagine what it would be like for you to be an instructor. By the way, Sui An, can you teach students?"

Sui An walked in the corridor, still carrying the awakened people like balloons. When other awakened people he met in the corridor saw him, they all lowered their heads and avoided him.

"It shouldn't be difficult."

He thought of what Luo Shizhen had said just now and raised his eyebrows:

"Training them is like training a husky. It's not difficult."

The awakened one who had turned to sleep upside down: "?"

Husky? What Husky?

In front, several combatants froze when they saw Sui An.

Sui An stopped and waved his hand, and the awakener floating in the air fell into the hands of these people.

Several people hurriedly helped the man up and found that he was still alive. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain! Captain, are you having another attack?"

Some people also expressed their gratitude: "Inspector, thank you for sending our captain back."

The team member next to him quickly poked his arm and whispered, "Don't call him that. Call him Captain Sui."

The man quickly changed his tone: "Captain Sui, we'll send the captain back first. We'll thank you next time."

Sui An seemed very easygoing and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Several combatants dragged their captain for a long distance as if they were being chased by a dog. They only breathed a sigh of relief after turning the corner of the corridor.

"You just called him Inspector. Don't you know he hates hearing that title?"

"When I saw the captain like this, I forgot about it in my haste and only thought about the fact that the Inspectorate was the most important position."

"Then why don't you remember that the Inspector General is specifically responsible for cleaning out polluted Awakeners? You're lucky. Captain Sui has been cultivating himself these past few years, and his temper has improved a lot. He won't do anything just because of a name. I heard that when he was young, he would get angry at the slightest thing, and everyone would stay away from him when they saw him. It's nothing like now, where he can even be an instructor and teach students."

"Ah? Captain Sui teaching students? He's so brutal with his own team members, so how can he teach students? Won't he kill them?"

As the others were muttering, the semi-conscious captain burped:

"No, you are not allowed to talk about the boss behind his back."

Several combatants: "But Captain, don't you often discuss this privately?"

Captain: "I'm in our team. Sui An is a Sequence 01 Awakener. You're talking about it just after walking so far. At this distance, he can hear it, hiccup!"

For a moment, all the team members were as quiet as chickens——

After making sure that the members of the Third Battalion were silent, Sui An walked down the long corridor, his black combat boots stepping on the ground, measuring the distance between the tiles boredly.

“Here!”

A voice that he had just heard came from the front. Sui An looked up and saw Luo Shizhen still wearing the school uniform of No. 3 Middle School, with a smile full of surprise and dependence.

He strode towards Sui An, his clear, dark eyes filled with pure trust.

Not like a Husky, more like a Samoyed.

Silly, but eye-catching.

Samoyed didn't notice Sui An at all, brushed past him, ran to another person, and shouted happily:

"Teacher Chen! Are we ready to go to school? Chu Xiao and Qin Yinian are outside!"

Chen Heyan put down his phone, smiled and touched Luo Shizhen's head: "Yes, let's go."

Sui An watched the two of them perform a scene of teacher-student love and filial piety, and listened to Luo Shizhen calling him "teacher" left and right in a sweet voice.

He had never been to the awakened school, and he had only led a bunch of irritable team members, who needed to be subdued by force before they could speak a few human words instead of barking. Sui An thought uncertainly:

Are all students so clingy?
