That night, Lu Jin'an came to Gu Zhilin's room again and saw Gu Zhilin sitting on the balcony with incense burning beside him, making a few hand seals.
He was muttering something to himself.
He stood quietly to the side without saying a word, and only asked after Gu Zhilin had finished doing everything: "What are you doing?"
"You're blessing the talismans. Did you give Jiang Jiyang and Zeng Yan their talismans?"
Lu Jin'an nodded and said, "It's already been sent over. Will this blessing consume your mental energy?"
"There is a little, but it won't have a big impact." Gu Zhilin carefully put away the talisman and then put away the agarwood as well.
"Come over for meditation?" He found it somewhat amusing to see that Lu Jin'an had already changed into her pajamas.
This person followed me like a chick following its mother hen, always needing to be by my side whenever it came to cultivation.
But thinking about it carefully, it's actually a good thing. If Lu Jin'an encounters any problems during his cultivation, I will definitely be able to discover them in time.
"With you staying here every night, it feels like we're living together." He paused, realizing something was off about his words: "That's not what I meant, I was just expressing my feelings."
Lu Jin'an did want to live together, but he also knew that it was impossible at the moment.
So she simply smiled and said, "I'm glad you don't mind me bothering you."
"Of course I don't mind."
The two of them found their seats and sat down in perfect unison.
He stopped talking and devoted himself entirely to meditation.
In fact, Gu Zhilin had always been concerned about the person who appeared in his mind during his last meditation, but he had never seen him since.
More importantly, he could feel a sense of familiarity.
But I can't remember anything.
So this time, when he entered his sea of consciousness again, he exerted his mental power to the fullest extent, wanting to see if this situation would occur again.
However, it still had no effect; there wasn't even a trace of unfamiliarity.
This made Gu Zhilin somewhat discouraged, but at the same time he strengthened the protection of his sea of consciousness.
After all, it's too dangerous for strangers to be able to freely enter one's consciousness.
After he absorbed cosmic energy and strengthened the protection of his sea of consciousness, he opened his eyes again and saw Lu Jin'an sitting opposite him, quietly watching him.
"Actually, if you're awake, you can do your own thing first, you don't need to wait for me here." After all, Lu Jin'an had only just begun to be able to enter a meditative state, so each time she entered a meditative state, the time was definitely not very long.
So this person has been watching you for a very long time.
Although he didn't mind being seen by Lu Jin'an, he still felt it was a bit strange.
Lu Jin'an felt a little flustered; she couldn't very well say that she liked watching him.
Fortunately, his long-standing habit of calmness left no trace on his face: "I just wanted to observe your state of meditation and learn from it."
"You're really eager to learn." Gu Zhilin smiled awkwardly.
Neither of them continued the topic. One was afraid to continue, and the other was also afraid to. Gu Zhilin felt that continuing would make him overthink things.
The two practiced Tai Chi together, and then Gu Zhilin taught him a section of Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade).
Lu Jin'an has a higher level of understanding of Tai Chi and Baduanjin.
Basically, Gu Zhilin would fight in front, and Lu Jin'an could follow up from behind.
After exercising, the two quickly washed up, drank some nutritional supplements, and then left the military area together.
This was the first time Gu Zhilin had left the military region since joining the army, even though it hadn't been long.
But he always felt like a long time had passed.
It felt like it had been longer than the six months since I woke up.
When we arrived at the Life Research Center, Zhou Muyun was busy.
So when he saw the two of them, he simply told them to wait in his office and then left.
"He's always like this, don't mind him," Gu Zhilin explained on his behalf.
"Of course I don't mind." Lu Jin'an said indifferently, somewhat displeased that Gu Zhilin was explaining things to her on behalf of someone else.
There's a feeling that their relationship is closer.
"You stayed at the research center for a while after you woke up, right? Can you take me to see where you stayed?"
Gu Zhilin was taken aback, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
It could even be described as somewhat conflicted.
"Is it inconvenient?" Lu Jin'an frowned, because in his impression, Gu Zhilin had always trusted him and had almost nothing to hide from him.
"It's not that it's inconvenient," Gu Zhilin sighed, "I just hope you won't find it offensive."
He glanced at Lu Jin'an with some unease, and seeing that the other person was indeed very curious, he led Gu Zhilin out of Zhou Muyun's office.
Walk down the corridor to the left.
Lu Jin'an followed behind him, but she had some doubts in her heart.
He had visited the Center for Life Sciences before, and more than once.
This direction... doesn't look like there are any living rooms.
Sure enough... Gu Zhilin finally led him to an observation room and stopped.
Except for the restroom, the entire observation room is made of glass.
It can be said that, apart from satisfying his physiological needs, Gu Zhilin's every move was being observed and monitored.
This... is not how you treat humans at all.
Lu Jin'an was a little angry, angry that the Life Research Center did not respect Gu Zhilin.
She was also angry at herself for not finding him sooner.
"I was awakened from the cryogenic chamber, and the research center staff placed me here so they could monitor my physical condition at all times," Gu Zhilin explained when he saw the man beside him clearly unhappy.
"They're not just worried about your health; they're just using you as a test subject. You can't possibly not know that. Gu Zhilin, why don't you hate them?"
Since he met Gu Zhilin, this man has never expressed any dissatisfaction with the Life Yanu 9 Center.
But he had clearly been treated like that before.
Why not?
"Because they really didn't mean any harm, and... when I first woke up, I was on guard against the outside world, and I did act a bit too aggressively, hurting some people and damaging some things. It's normal for them to be wary of me and for the monitoring network to be so."
When Gu Zhilin first woke up, he didn't know who was around him and assumed that there was no one he recognized.
These people were saying things like he was a beta, which made him a little confused.
For safety's sake, he immediately summoned the power of the five elements and used fire to attack the staff member closest to him.
Even at its most violent moment, it borrowed the power of thunder, damaging the instruments around it.
His actions were clearly terrifying and unknown to the group at the time.
They weren't even sure at first whether Gu Zhilin was human or not.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no language barriers, he might very well have been treated as a human.
Therefore, the observation and recording were conducted with his own consent.
