Pheromone Recognition Disorder

Chapter 99 Jealousy

    This teaching training not only shocked the entire First Legion, but also shocked a group of old dandelions on the central temple... oh no, a group of gray-haired academicians.

    In fact, the academicians all know about Jiang Ci's situation, but they only know with their own eyes that the Omega kid who couldn't even carry a simple mechanical part can now drive dual S-class mechas and compete with the Empire.The most powerful legion commander fought back and forth.

    Only then did they truly realize what huge growth and changes Jiang Ci had experienced.While everyone was feeling sour and confused, they also discovered something strange.

    Although the old men have devoted their lives to research and know nothing about mecha melee combat, they still know who the pilots of Wan Jiang and Bai Ze are.Even a layman can easily see that Bai Ze's strength rises and falls.

    ——This is a teaching game.

    There are two people driving Baize.

    It's just that the instructors were a little strange. If they guessed correctly, it should be the strange young man standing on the head of the Zerg general just now.After all, everyone was watching as the man entered Bai Ze's cockpit.

    Although everyone knows about the existence of advanced Zerg, humans' general impression of Zerg is still that of huge monsters with terrifying and weird faces.

    Moreover, the Zerg's fighting methods are all about brute force, tearing, and biting.

    How come there are still people who can fly mechas???

    But Jiang Ci's proactive introduction gave all the academicians a real blow.

    [He is the supreme commander of the Zerg side.]

    But the most terrifying thing is not this, but the next sentence——

    [Also the person I am dating.]

    This news was nothing less than a bolt from the blue.

    Vice President Zheng felt bad because among so many academicians, he was the teacher who taught Jiang Cilai in the junior class that year. He had the deepest feelings for Miao Miao and the highest expectations.

    "He... Xiaojiang, you... you..."

    Vice President Zheng was so shocked that he could not even speak a complete sentence. It was at this moment that they noticed the presence of alpha pheromone on Jiang Ci.

    I originally thought it was from being contaminated in the alpha pile in the military camp, but now I feel it carefully, I find that it is due to thorough marking.

    However, after Jiang Ci told the news, he did not immediately receive blessings from the teachers.

    "oops……!"

    Although no one specifically expressed any objection, some people still slapped their thighs bitterly after hearing the shocking news.

    Jiang Ci is an omega. In fact, it is normal to be labeled as an alpha when you become an adult.In other words, it is abnormal that he has not been marked by alpha until now.

    The important reason why it is difficult for omegas to get ahead in various industries is that they are raised in greenhouses before they reach adulthood, and after adulthood, the estrus period two to three times a year will make it impossible for them to perform normal work.

    In everyone's perception, people of a gender like omega who are too weak to take care of themselves are like dodder flowers clinging to alphas and cannot live without them.

    But Jiang Ci didn't. In the nine years since he became an adult, he endured all the pain that an omega would talk about and resisted the instinct of an omega.In fact, this made many academicians shocked and proud, because they saw the potential of Jiangci to go further.

    ——As long as he is willing to come back.

    This is also the second reason why they insist on coming to Mingcheng regardless of the danger.

    But now, Jiang Ci has been completely marked, which means that like other omegas, he will probably disappear from everyone in the future.Not to mention, the one who marked Jiang Ci was not an ordinary alpha, not even a human.

    But an advanced Zerg!

    This means that they are not even sure whether the other party can have the protective desire for the omega like a human alpha.Or even whether this weird and unprecedented combination is correct.

    Huo Xianfeng was keenly aware of the gloomy atmosphere. Although he didn't care about this group of dull old men, he had to care about his wife, so he still said hello.

    The boy naturally waved,

    "Hey, good evening, old men..."

    boom!

    The major general had no expression on his face and immediately hit him with his elbow, so the latter immediately changed his words.

    "Ahem, teachers."

    "..."

    All the old-fashioned academics fell into silence.

    The atmosphere was very awkward.

    But after a few seconds, Vice President Zheng finally sighed and showed a kind smile to Huo Xianfeng, like an elder looking at a junior.

    "Hello, Mr. Huo."

    This also shows the cultivation of the vice-dean. Xiao Huo means closeness, but adding the word "sir" means respect.

    The old men behind him also quickly restrained some of the emotions on their faces. In fact, they were not disgusted with Huo Xianfeng, but just felt worried and sorry for Jiang Ci.However, after Vice President Zheng spoke, everyone at least maintained their superficial courtesy.

    But it was limited to polite greetings.

    But this also made Jiang Ci feel a little relieved. He actually consciously wanted Huo Xianfeng to integrate into his world, but now it seemed that this was difficult.

    However, just when Jiang Ci was racking his brains to think of how to start the next topic to make the situation less embarrassing, he heard Teacher Zheng in front of him suddenly ask,

    "Mr. Xiao Huo, when do you plan to get married?"

    "..."

    This question was so sudden that even Huo Xianfeng was stunned for a moment.

    Eh?

    Get... get married???

    Jiang Ci was shocked, and even the cells in his body were instantly shocked.

    "No! No! Wait!"

    Jiang Ci immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Huo Xianfeng, stopping the old man who seemed to want to ask for further details.

    "Wait! Zheng... Teacher Zheng, this is too... too sudden..."

    Even his uncle had never asked such a question.

    It is rare for the Major General to be so flustered and helpless in front of many people. He has always been very careful to maintain his mature, calm, strong and sharp image, so this state is actually rare.

    "We have just...and the situation is very tense and critical now, it is not the time to consider such things..."

    Compared with the panicked client, Vice President Zheng seemed very stable. He didn't seem to feel that he had asked a question that was difficult to answer.

    Because usually, after the omega is completely marked, he will be bound to the alpha. The next step is to get married immediately, and then be hidden at home by the alpha.

    This is also what all the teachers are most worried about about Jiang Ci being an omega.

    At this time, Vice President Zheng confirmed with Jiang Ci,

    "So you won't get married in a short period of time, right?"

    Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment: "...Yes."

    When giving the confirmation answer, Jiang Ci actually wanted to look back at Huo Xianfeng, but he suddenly didn't have the courage.Because even if Jiang Ci can firmly confirm their feelings for each other, there are still too many obstacles between them.

    The current tense situation, the conspiracy of the Illusion God Cult, the predicament of the capital planet, and the unresolved blood feud between humans and the Zerg are all obstacles.

    So it won’t happen in a short period of time.

    So the answer to this confirmation is also obvious,

    "That"

    The white-haired old man held Jiang Ci's shoulders, and the jagged old finger bones made Jiang Ci feel an unbearable strength.

    "Come back, Xiao Jiang."

    Over the years, although they were sad that Jiang Jinsheng's bloodline had taken the wrong path, they still paid silent attention to Jiang Ci.For example, a child skips a grade to enter the military academy, struggles among a group of alphas, participates in various military leagues, and finally successfully enters the First Army Corps and is awarded the rank of major general based on the military merit accumulated over seven years.

    They all know these things.

    "We all know that it's not easy for you. You are also very powerful. You have proven that omegas can achieve something in the military."

    How difficult it is for an omega to do this is simply unimaginable.They are also proud of Jiang Ci's efforts, his tenacity, and his achievements.

    But even so, all the academicians, including Vice President Zheng, still believed that Jiang Ci had taken the wrong path.

    This precious Miaomiao, from the moment she applied for the military academy, was already considered crooked in everyone's eyes.

    Because all of them felt that Jiang Ci would definitely inherit Jiang Jinsheng's mantle.Even though he is an omega, the aura brought by Jiang Jinsheng and Jiang Ci's own talent are enough to make up for the disadvantage of gender.

    "Jiang Ci, we all admit that you are indeed an excellent soldier, but with your potential, it would be a pity to be just a soldier."

    At this moment, all the old and hopeful eyes were focused on Jiang Ci, like silk threads, wrapping around him one after another.

    "Just now about the restoration of the forbidden abyss, the restoration of the temple, and the deciphering of the core mastermind, you even have a keener sense of smell than us old guys, so I can conclude that you have not given up or stagnated after so many years. You are stillIt’s learning and progress.”

    "The First Army can have many major generals, and even the empire has so many powerful alpha soldiers, who can make up for your current position. You should not be here, but should be in the research institute, becoming the main force in promoting the advancement of the empire's science and technology.strength."

    Cultivating an excellent soldier is indeed not an easy task, but if you want to find another good young man who has the potential to surpass Jiang Jinsheng, it will be extremely difficult.

    "..."

    Jiang Ci was suddenly frozen.

    For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

    ——until another hand fell on his shoulder,

    "Well, I'm sorry to interrupt you."

    Huo Xianfeng could tell that although the other person was affirming Jiang Ci every word on the surface, in fact, every word that person said was a complete negative.

    Denying Jiang Ci's hard work for so many years, and forcing him to choose the same path as his father.

    The corners of the young man's lips curled up slightly, and with a little force, he fished his wife back with one hand.His arms were wrapped around Jiang Ci's shoulders, holding him tightly in his arms.

    "Teacher Zheng, right? I would like to ask, who told you that any alpha officer in the First Legion can replace him?"

    "..."

    Jiang Ci was suddenly stunned. He looked up and saw the familiar side face of the young man. The latter still looked like he didn't care about anything, but suddenly, it seemed to be glowing.

    The Major General was suddenly stunned.

    Something similar to this was said to him by another person.

    ——He Zhun.

    In fact, Jiang Ci was not always firm.

    Every time he lay bruised and bruised in the repair cabin, he had been confused and even regretted.

    Is this really what he wants?

    Can all this hard work and all this pain really lead to the future he wants?

    Jiang Ci knows that his teachers are right, and he also knows that his uncle Zhou Jiuya is also right. He is an omega, even if he is S-level, even if he can beat some alphas, his genes determine that no matter how hard he works, he is an omega., and it is impossible to surpass Zhou Jiuya.

    Gender hierarchy basically determines life.

    In this ABO world, this is a law that will hardly change.

    But should we give up like this?

    Jiang Ci actually wavered.

    So later on, Jiang Ci often envied He Zhun, envied that he could do what he liked, and envied that he could rise step by step and shine in the professional field that he liked.

    But Jiang Ci was not jealous. On the contrary, he felt blessed and proud of He Zhun's achievements.

    Because during that dark time, only He Zhun stayed with him.

    The young man was sitting next to the repair cabin, carefully adjusting the proportions of various ingredients in the repair solution while monitoring Jiang Ci's body data.

    He Zhun's serious and gentle profile made Jiang Ci see the shadow of his father in him in a daze.So from that moment on, he finally showed his softest and most vulnerable side to the person he once hated the most.

    [He Zhun, do you also think I can’t do it?]

    [Do you also think...I chose the wrong path?]

    He Zhun was slightly startled at that time. He put his hand on the glass and stroked it gently. Through such a cold bulkhead, Jiang Ci felt a kind of warmth that was impossible to feel.

    [I never thought you made the wrong choice, Ah Ci.]

    He lowered his eyes, with a gentle look like an elder brother comforting his younger brother.

    [It’s just that I don’t want you to force yourself to do things you don’t like because of a temporary shadow or a temporary hurdle that you can’t get over.]

    He Zhun knew that Jiang Ci's sudden change was due to the harm she might have suffered because of him, and also the shadow of Jiang Ci being hurt. However, He Zhun never pointed this out, nor did he stop Jiang Ci's seemingly childish and rebellious behavior.move.

    [Being strong is a very, very good thing.Whether it is the strength of force or the strength of mind, it is a very good thing.]

    [Ah Ci, if you have the ability to protect yourself, or even protect many, many people, it will make me feel very at ease and proud.]

    That night, He Zhun's clear voice was particularly powerful in the peaceful night.Jiang Ci felt that the other person was like a warm and firm beacon in the darkness.

    [Ah Ci, you are actually very lucky. You have inherited Uncle Jiang’s ultimate talent in scientific research, and you also have the outstanding potential of a legion commander in combat, so you have more choices than others.]

    [So, whether this ability is in the form of technology that transcends the times or unrivaled powerful combat power, this is your own strength and something that you can only get by working hard. No one can.help you.]

    [Uncle Jiang and the army commander are indeed big umbrellas to protect you, but since you stand under the umbrella, you will be submerged in their shadow.So, if you want to step out of their shadow, you can't stay in their shelter forever.]

    [Ah Ci, your life should be your own choice.]

    [What kind of person you want to be can only be decided by yourself.]

    Long-lasting memories suddenly passed by like flowers, then swept away and disappeared.

    At this moment, Jiang Ci's eyes only reflected Huo Xianfeng's profile.

    "Bai Ze is a double S mecha. I remember that when I first chose the master, a military league was held across the empire. In the end, it seemed that Jiang Ci defeated all the competitors, and only he achieved the matching spirit.Force threshold, right?”

    Huo Xianfeng's tone was not aggressive. Instead, it was as relaxed as a daily chat. He leaned lazily on the Major General's shoulders, standing in a posture that the elders disliked the most.

    "Perhaps you are very discerning and have noticed that there is a genius alpha figure who has been buried?"

    "you……!"

    Someone had an angry look on his face, but he was quickly stopped by the person next to him.

    Vice President Zheng’s lips trembled, but he still had to stick to his opinion.

    "No, I don't mean that. I mean that Jiang Ci is more suitable for scientific research than being a soldier, and the country's scientific research strength is better than its military strength..."

    "That is what you think."

    Huo Xianfeng interrupted directly.

    "And your thoughts should not interfere with other people's lives."

    You shouldn't interfere in other people's lives...

    The meaning of this sentence is that in Huo Xianfeng's view, no one can interfere with his life.

    "Taking a step back, what you call the comparison between scientific research and military affairs... I'm curious -"

    "The establishment and prosperity of your human empire until now was not only due to Jiang Jinsheng, nor was it just due to the contribution of your Academy of Sciences Research Institute. There was also the sacrifice of Huo Chao, and Zhou JiuThe fighting and bloodshed of countless soldiers and soldiers, as well as Pei Changyun's painstaking policy management... and more, the contributions of ordinary people that you can't see."

    "If you really want to compete, if you really want to calculate, then please compare first and figure out clearly, among so many people's contributions and efforts over the past hundreds of years, which one is more important?"

    "Who is more noble than whom?"

    "..."

    At this moment, everyone was stunned.

    In the cage, Huo Xianfeng learned not only human fighting skills, but more importantly, he observed this weak but strangely powerful race from the perspective of a king.

    Huo Xianfeng is arrogant, which is his arrogance towards human beings as individuals. The more he learns about this civilization, the more he appreciates and admires it.

    They do not have the physical strength of the Zerg, nor the loyalty of the Zerg, but they are still a wonderful and special civilization.

    At this moment, Jiang Ci pulled Huo Xianfeng's hand from his shoulder, but did not let go, but held it.

    "Teacher, I have my own ideas about the way forward."

    Jiang Ci smiled apologetically but firmly,

    "Sorry, teacher, we have something else to do, so you should go to bed early."

    "……good."

    Jiang Ci pulled Huo Xianfeng away. When he was out of sight of the group of people behind him, he walked faster and faster, and even suddenly started running with the young man behind him.

    Huo Xianfeng ran with him without asking why or where he was going.

    At this time, there was only a red edge left in the setting sun, reflecting the dazzling red color of the distant sky. The world became dim, and they were surrounded by collapsed ruins.

    The striking scenery is the setting sun, a huge and terrifying monster, and endless ruins and debris.

    ——This all seems like the end.

    They run in the apocalypse, seemingly regardless, until they reach the end of the world.

    At this moment, looking at Jiang Ci's back running desperately, Huo Xianfeng suddenly understood why Huo Chao always liked to fall from high places and tirelessly repeated things that seemed meaningless to him.

    Because you can feel the wind.

    ——Because you can touch the feeling of freedom.

    Similarly, this is what Jiang Ci feels and is happy about at the moment.

    When the last ray of light disappeared and the whole world fell into darkness, Jiang Ci finally stopped. The extremely fast and long running made his breathing rapid and his cheeks red, but Huo Xianfeng still had a steady heartbeat and breathed naturally.

    This is the natural physical difference between humans and Zerg.

    Can't make up for it.

    But Jiang Ci didn't care, even the fatigue at the moment made him feel extremely happy and relaxed.

    "Huo Xianfeng,"

    He turned around and looked at the calm-looking young man. In fact, the dark sky allowed Jiang Ci to vaguely see the outline of the other person, so he reached out and held the person's face.

    "Um."

    Jiang Ci's hand traced his outline, and it took a long time before he spoke with rapid breathing,

    "You talk a lot today."

    "...You dragged me so far just to tell me this?"

    "right."

    The Major General stood up on tiptoes to kiss him.

    "You talk too much...today...that is, my teacher..."

    Just now Huo Xianfeng shocked the old man so much that his hands were shaking.

    "Why...are you feeling distressed?"

    Huo Xianfeng pressed his waist and did not respond, just waiting for the Major General to take the initiative to kiss him.

    "So you plan to... block my mouth like this?"

    "……Well."

    No one spoke after that.

    In the quiet night, there was only the sound of their intimate and ambiguous kiss.

    After a long time, Jiang Ci gasped and pulled away a little. He reached out and put his arms around Huo Xianfeng's waist, hugged him deeply, and whispered,

    "Well, actually a long time ago, He Zhun also said something similar to me. He said that I let myself choose my own life, but..."

    But Jiang Ci didn't understand it at that time until she met Huo Xianfeng.

    Until step by step, he felt a lot of things from Huo Xianfeng and learned a lot.It was as if the young Jiang Ci had always been accustomed to locking herself in a tight, airtight cabinet.

    In the past, it was He Zhun who opened the door and said to Jiang Ci, "I found you."

    But now it's Huo Xianfeng. The difference is that the young man doesn't just simply open the cabinet, he also pulls Jiang Ci out into the broadest world, taking him to feel the wind of freedom.

    So, until the end, Jiang Ci finally fell into the deep sea of love that he could not escape from, and was willing to sink.

    But before he finished speaking, Jiang Ci suddenly felt his back collar being grabbed by the young man, and then he was lifted away by the other person with one hand.

    "——Then go find He Zhun."

    After saying that, Huo Xianfeng turned and left.

    "...?"

    Eh?

    What happened to this guy suddenly?

    Jiang Ci stayed there for a few seconds, and then immediately chased after him.

    "Huo Xianfeng——"

    The Major General was actually a little confused. Before he could even finish the draft of his prepared confession, the person he was confessing to turned around and left.

    Huo Xianfeng was silent and had a cold face. His long legs were so windy when he walked that Jiang Ci could only keep up with him at a trot.

    "Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet..."

    "I said Huo Xianfeng, aren't you jealous?"

    "Hey He Zhun, he is just like my brother..."
