hunting light

Ian was wearing pajamas, sitting on the sofa, with a relaxed and lazy posture.There is an antique gramophone next to it, vinyl records are slowly rotating, and a magnetic male voice floats from the speaker, overlapping this modern and minimalist living room with the study of the Parthenon Manor.

"You are what I have been looking for all my life, you are the crystallization of my tears.

My beloved, you don't know how much effort I have put in to find you..."

Leon suddenly had a sore nose.Everything he wanted to say seemed to be sung into this song.

He walked over, sat beside Ian, and held him in his arms.Ian is now used to this kind of intimacy, and he didn't resist much.

"Remember this song?" Leon asked.

Ian nodded.

"Do you remember the last time you heard it?"

Ian recalled, saying: "I crowned you last year, in the study of the Parthenon Manor. The two of us...danced a dance..."

"That's right." Leon kissed Ian's forehead, hugged him horizontally, hugged him firmly, put his face against Ian's smooth forehead, and sang softly along with the music.

"The days to come, me and you, the days to come.

It's just ahead, it's clearly visible..."

Leon's voice is thick and magnetic, but also a little lazy, and his slightly out-of-key voice makes his songs more sincere.

"We were lost in a storm, we lost hearing from each other.

How could I stop searching if I didn't bring you back to me? "

Ian's expression was heavy, and the chaotic memory fragments in his mind were spinning and pieced together.

He still remembers the coronation ceremony, the time he spent with Fryer and Leon in those days, they laughed in the sun and the sea of ​​flowers, and they were lingering under the stars...

Scenes flashed before my eyes.

He saw the scene of the reunion of the four Aurora mechs.

He bid farewell to Leon and returned to Xilin, and the group of old vultures greeted him under the spaceship with dark eyes.

He threw the documents on the reform of the Holy See system on the faces of the group of archbishops, feeling infinitely happy in his heart.

And at that time, Guang Ji was also in his sea of ​​consciousness, laughing triumphantly.

He put a bunch of empty starfish flowers in a fresh-keeping box and ordered someone to deliver them to Leon.

He walked alone in the "Guangji" starship...

……

"Oh God, please light up his light again, and give hope to those who love each other..."

While singing, Leon took Ian's hand to his lips and kissed it.

The intense and messy scene dissipated, and Ian calmed down.

"The days to come, me and you, the days to come.

It's just ahead, it's clearly visible..."

Ian closed his eyes.

The tentacles of the mental net that had been forcibly torn off finally moved.They took the initiative to explore the past to Leon, touching the scars on his mental network.The meridians of the spiritual network of the two were reconnected bit by bit.

The connection between sentinels must be initiated by the guide.This was the first time in two months that Ian took the initiative to connect with Leon.

The dark matter that had accumulated in Leon's sea of ​​consciousness for too long finally found an exit, poured towards Ian, and was immediately dispelled by Ian skillfully.

The man's frown gradually loosened.

The long-lasting pain deep in the brain is disappearing, and the irritability and depression accumulated in my heart are also rapidly disintegrating.Leon felt the long-lost joy and ease.He was no longer depressed and suffering, and he was suddenly full of confidence in himself and Ian.

And at this moment, a thought popped up in his mind!

This... is the blessing brought to him by the Holy Master!

Although the Lord is an AI, it is the incarnation of God in the world.

It has helped mankind maintain social stability for so many years, eliminate wars and plagues, and it is a friend of mankind.

I should obey the Holy Lord's guidance and follow its will...

I should... believe in the Holy Lord.

Belief in... the Holy Lord?

Leon opened his eyes suddenly, like a beast that had been bitten suddenly, subconsciously pushed the body out of his arms.

The eruption of the Dark Sentinel was extremely powerful, and Ian was powerless to resist even if he was prepared.He didn't even have time to utter an exclamation before his body flew out, knocked over a high-backed chair opposite, and rolled to the corner of the wall.

Leon felt as if he had been struck by thunder, his eyes were shattered, and his brain exploded with a bang.

"Ian—" His body reacted before he realized it, and he flew over.

Leon kicked the sofa away, and touched Ian's face and body in horror: "What do you think? Where does it hurt? Tell me!"

Ian's face was pale, and he grabbed the arm of his right hand.He is dislocated.

Leon's eyes were red, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice, the pain of self-reproach made his face twisted ferociously.

He carried Ian back to the sofa, carefully reset his joints, and then used a therapeutic device to treat the redness and swelling of the affected area.

Ian stared blankly at the red and swollen five finger marks on Leon's face, and couldn't help reaching out to touch them.

Leon dodged reflexively, his eyes guarded.

Ian froze.

"I..." Leon restrained himself hastily, "I'm not treating you...I just...you just talked me out of it."

"Yes." Ian said condescendingly, "Sorry, I didn't get your permission."

"No! It's not because of this!" Leon scratched his hair irritably, "You are unconscious. Those things are like viruses planted in your brain, and when you connect with me, they will infect me... ..."

His voice suddenly became extremely sad, hoarse and almost out of tune: "You just forcibly untied me to avoid affecting me...I didn't protect you well...It was me..."

Ian was at a loss.He still can't recall the memory of unbinding.

Leon rubbed his face vigorously, wiping away the tears.

He got up and rushed out the door.

"So, you just threw Ian out to...?"

In the observation room outside the medical clinic, after listening to the witness... machine... Asura's report, both of Sang Xia's eyes popped out of their sockets.

"Cough!" Asura answered before Leon, describing vividly, "Straightforward, crisp, even I didn't realize it. Otherwise, I will definitely catch Ian, absolutely!"

"Asura!" Leon shouted angrily.

"It's useless to lose your temper with me, Leon." A black mechanical wolfhound sat on the ground with blue eyes, it was Asura who had changed into a beast.However, its accent has not changed, it still has a tongue-rolling western accent, which complements the canine expression perfectly.

"Dr. Roland has already warned you that when Ian recovers to a certain level, he will be able to use his guiding ability again. The consciousness instilled in his brain is deeply rooted and very aggressive. He can't control it himself. Once your mental network is connected, he will subconsciously instill those things into you."

"Don't repeat what that egghead doctor said to me." Leon said impatiently, "I'm already going to exile him to drive an excavator. He can't do anything about Ian's illness!"

"But I think his training on your subconscious mind is very effective." Sang Xia said, "When your subconscious mind is invaded by external consciousness, it can immediately become alert and resist in time to protect yourself. For example, this time, your reaction Just get an A+—if it's not Ian."

"Is the target Ian?" Leon rolled his eyes so that only the whites remained.

"That's domestic violence, Your Majesty." Sang Xia lowered her head and tapped on the photon board, "I really have to make a note of this. If the news leaks out—the chance of this kind of royal gossip leaking is almost 100%—I still You have to avoid being questioned by reporters at a press conference."

"I will never have this happen again!" Leon said angrily, "This time it was a complete accident!"

Recalling the scene when Ian's body flew out helplessly, Leon felt that a sharp sword fell in the air, cutting him to pieces, bloody and bloody.

Regret, fear, self-blame, anxiety... All of a sudden, thousands of emotions came to my heart.

Leon exerted strength in his hand, and with a few clicks, the metal railing was bent into ninety degrees by him.

"Your dementia symptoms have been a bit frequent recently, Your Majesty." Advi, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "Do you still dislike receiving the services of those guides? The guides in the Royal Medical Corps have undergone strict training. Professionals, the level is not low. You have to trust those guides..."

"That's the problem." Leon said coldly, "I don't like anyone touching my spiritual net. Besides, I tried, and the level of those guides is not very good."

"Of course they can't be compared with Lord Ian." Adway said calmly, "Your Excellency is the only light guide in the world. But obviously, Your Majesty, Lord Ian is not suitable to guide you now. In fact, I think you two should keep a certain distance."

In the medical room behind the glass wall, Ian sat up from the examination equipment.Leon's attention was immediately diverted.

Ian's dislocated shoulder was fine, but Leon, worried that he had suffered internal injuries from the fall, brought him in for a full checkup.

After returning to Leon's side, Ian received the most meticulous care, shed the initial morbid paleness, and recovered his health.

Today's Ian's dark eyes are shining with stars again, and his lips are red again.He is like a pearl that has washed away the dust, and finally exudes a full and warm luster.

But when Ian took off his shirt, revealing his red and swollen shoulders, Leon suddenly felt that someone had punched him in the chest.

Such a person who should be held in the palm of my hand and cared for for a lifetime was thrown out by myself...

Leon's eyes began to swell and heat up again.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Adway said, "It is not an option for you and Lord Ian to go on like this. Unless you can stop contacting him, the courtiers will worry that you will be influenced by him again. About Lord Ian For the next treatment plan, you must make a choice as soon as possible."

"This is not an ordinary choice." Leon said sternly, "I will forcibly clean his memory and even make him pregnant. Do you know what these mean?"

"Breaking the law?" Asura blinked his cat's eyes and asked naively.

Leon: "..."

"It's as if what you did to him before was legal." Ms. Sancha Hughes, a graduate of the Master of Laws, immediately began to analyze the case. Ann has been under house arrest, which is illegally imprisoning foreign citizens and interfering with their personal freedom."

Leon: "..."

"He still doesn't allow people to believe in the Holy Ming Cult." Asura added, "Whenever the Holy Lord is mentioned, he jumps and curses, beats and smashes."

Sang Xia: "Hinder the other party's freedom of religious belief, use violence to coerce the other party to submit!"

Leon: "..."

"Your Majesty still shares the bed with Lord Ian all the time?" Even Adway got involved, "I think Lord Ian is reluctant about this."

"Sexual assault!" Sang Xia gasped exaggeratedly, "My dear, if these things are leaked out, I can imagine what the media headlines will say: Emperor Byron imprisoned the pope, sexually assaulted him for a long time Pregnant!"

"Don't forget to mention domestic violence." Asura added considerately, "Oh, and brainwash it so that it will be easier to continue sexual assault in the future..."

"Your Majesty, you will become a legal coffee!"

"It's still the most famous in the galaxy!"

"Your prison photo will be printed on the cultural shirt..."

"Are you finished?" Leon suddenly transformed into a Tyrannosaurus rex, and flames spurted out, "I called you here because I want you to list my crimes? You also want to experience driving an excavator in a mine star live?"

Both of them looked at the emperor with a look that was very similar to a dead fish.

The emperor sadly found that he had failed to win his respect.

"What we mean is," Adway is the chief of staff after all, and corrected his attitude again, "Your Majesty resolutely kept Sir Ian by his side because he believed that he wanted you to do this. He has lost his rational judgment ability, and entrusted himself to you. Although there is no legal authorization document, you are indeed his most suitable guardian."

"The Chief of Staff is quite right." Sangxia also echoed, "Your Majesty also knows that everything you do is not hurting him, but saving him. I think he will understand."

Ian seemed to feel Leon's breath, and looked towards a glass wall.

Although he knew he couldn't see himself from Ian's side, Leon still took a step back.

This emperor, who can face millions of lions alone on the battlefield, dare not look at the person he loves the most at this moment.

"And, Your Majesty." Advi's tone became serious, "You are not just Ian's lover, you are also the king of a country and the chairman of the alliance. You have an obligation to put yourself in the best condition. Ian Mr. An is now a threat to your mental safety, as a subject, I suggest that you keep a distance from him before you make a decision."

The emperor wanted to growl, but was interrupted by Sangxia's words: "Ian's inspection is over, do you need me to take him back to his room, or do you go in person?"

The emperor sighed wearily, waved his hands at the two subordinates, drooped his ears, and dragged his tail away.

"Your health is fine, my lord." Dr. Roland said to Ian with a smile, "If you still feel uncomfortable, you can call us at any time. I will ask my assistant to take you to change clothes. Simon?"

A male assistant came over in response.

As soon as he approached, a familiar smell mixed with several flavors floated into Ian's nose.

This young man named Simon has a faint smell of Leon's pheromone...

Ian's eyelids trembled slightly, and he looked at the other party.

The young man looked about 20 years old, with soft brown hair, fair skin, and although his eyebrows and eyes were not particularly handsome, he looked very pure and gentle.

He is an Omega, slightly shorter than Ian, with a slender figure, and there is a lightness in his movements.

Ian also smelled a special bath liquid from him.

Ian used to use it too.For a long time, he used to cover up the pheromone smell that Leon left on him...

Ian frowned.

The boy felt Ian's gaze and smiled shyly at him,

Ian asked softly, "You...are a guide, right?"

Simon fearfully said: "Yes, my lord. I am also a guide in the Royal Medical Corps, with a grade of A. We are all professionally trained guides. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

Since Ian became the bishop, he began to promote the knowledge of the sentinel to the world, and established a new "White Tower" organization to receive and train those who have awakened the ancient sentinel gene for free.

Under Ian's advocacy, over the years, the governments of various countries have gradually paid attention to this kind of special talents with atavistic physique.The number of sentinels is scarce, and they are very precious human resources in all countries.Since receiving systematic training, the fate of this group of people has changed.

"Will you guide His Majesty the Emperor?" Ian asked.

Simon quickly glanced at Ian again, while putting on his shirt for Ian: "Yes, my lord. Our guides are specially prepared for His Majesty. Since he was injured in the spirit network, he needs regular counseling."

"He..." Ian expressed concern, "How is the situation?"

"Your Majesty is a strong person." Simon's brows and eyes suddenly became very gentle. "It's hard to guide him, and it's not easy to connect with his spiritual network. We often need...to use some other means..."

Ian's eyelids twitched again.

Simon lowered his head, the charm in the corners of his eyes and brows was half-hidden by shyness.

"We all... admire His Majesty. He is the Dark Sentinel. The most powerful man in the world." Simon's voice was full of undisguised admiration, "He is a god!"

To this group of people, the high-level party has a crushing attraction to the low-level party.

For a dark sentinel like Leon, the thick and majestic aura he exudes unconsciously must have an almost fatal appeal to ordinary guides.

There was a sudden commotion at the door, and the protagonist in the conversation, His Majesty the Emperor Leonardo III, walked in like a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus with a gloomy face.

Simon hurriedly picked up Ian's changed clothes, and together with his colleagues, quickly slipped away through the side door.

In a blink of an eye, only the emperor and Ian, who was only half dressed, were left in the room.

Ian glanced at Leon lightly, lowered his eyelids, and continued buttoning his shirt.

Under the light blue shirt, the skin on the chest is white and soft, and the slender fingers are well maintained, and the fingertips are pink.

Leon's words boiled like lava, but when his eyes touched this scene, he turned into a jammed squib.

He was distracted, his eyes followed Ian's fingers around Ah Rao, watching the fabric covering his skin little by little.

Obviously, I have seen this man's naked appearance countless times, but I can always be seduced by his unintentional look and style inadvertently, just like a moth knowing that there is a net, but slamming into it.

Ian tidied up his clothes, sat upright, and asked Leon with his eyes.

Leon came back to his senses, and said in a low voice: "I'll take you back to your room. Or do you want to go out for a walk? There is no place to go on the flagship, but the Xia Haitang in the greenhouse on the top floor seems to be blooming..."

"Okay." Ian said.

Leon came back to his senses after a slow beat, and was instantly elated.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that Leon put Ian under house arrest.

For a long time in the past, there seemed to be a sense of anxiety rooted in Ian's heart, which made him feel insecure.He resists leaving the room and doesn't like meeting strangers.Leon is really the person he is most happy to get along with.

Doctor Roland and Leon analyzed that Ian's fear came from his deepest level of consciousness.

There has not been invaded by Guangji, and Ian's true self is still preserved.It was this cognition that I wanted to escape from Xilin and hide in the Byron Empire, which led to Ian's subsequent series of behaviors.

And Leon's strict care of Ian, and the knowledge that he has returned to Leon's side, let Ian's self gradually find a sense of security.

He was like a frightened little rabbit huddled in its nest. After feeling that the storm outside subsided, he finally poked his head out.

This huge flagship is comparable to a small city, and the garden located in the VIP area on the top floor is a spacious greenhouse.

On both sides of the road in the greenhouse, the summer crabapple trees are entering their flowering season. Pink clouds of flowers hang from the branches, and the falling petals cover the gravel road.

Ian walked slowly along the gravel road.Leon was half a step behind him, following closely behind him, his eyes glued to his lover's handsome side face.

The emperor in military uniform looks like a loyal bodyguard at the moment, guarding his beloved.

"A guide in the Royal Medical Corps?" Leon raised his thick eyebrows, feeling a little nervous.

"Yes, there are a few guides accompanying the army. But their ability is very limited, and the counseling is not painful, very unpleasant. Sometimes they are even influenced by me in reverse. I have received several treatments and it just doesn't matter. Yes. How did you even think of asking that?"

"I'm a little... worried about your physical condition." Ian whispered.

Leon snorted, and his tail stretched out from behind, wagging happily.

Ian suddenly glanced sideways.

The tail quickly retracted.

The emperor was expressionless, looking like a tough man, and said in a deep voice: "My situation is much better than yours. You should still worry about yourself."

Ian smiled and continued walking forward.

The emperor's tail poked out timidly again, confirming that the crisis was over, and wagging desperately at Ian's back.

"I sorted out a lot of memories recently." Ian said, picked up a petal that fell on his sleeve, and flicked it into the grass.

"I also found something wrong. Before I crowned you, the memory was out of order, but it was still a whole. I could even recall many of the things we said. But when the coronation was over and I returned to Xilin, The remaining memories are basically fragments."

Leon looked serious, and stepped forward to Ian's side: "How much do you remember?"

Ian frowned slightly, and said: "The memory fragments of the period when I just went back are relatively complete: after I went back, I immediately started reforming the Holy See. I have won the support of the majority of middle and lower priests, and the reform has been carried out very well. smoothly."

"You used to be a great pope, Ian." Leon praised, "I deeply admire your courage and wisdom. You were alone in the Holy See at that time, and you dared to make such drastic reforms. You are truly courageous!"

They sat down on a bench.The virtual sunlight falls from the ceiling, and through the branches and leaves, the gold leaf is sprinkled all over the ground.The light and shadow made the outline of Ian's nose particularly straight and handsome.

"Reforming the Holy Ming Church is the true meaning of my desire to be Pope." Ian said to Leon, "You still remember when you were in Area 96, you, Sangxia, and a boy named Daniel, you were in the bar the debate in the

"Of course." Leon was still a little embarrassed when he recalled what happened when he was a hot-blooded teenager.

"From then on, I thought that it would be great if I could make rectifications to the Holy See." Ian immediately smiled, "I thought I was just an idealist, but I never thought that I would be lucky enough to realize my goal personally. Ideal. It's a pity that after I abdicated, the reform was anticlimactic and ended without a problem..."

Although he knew that it was best for them not to have any more physical contact, Leon still held Ian's hand at this moment, holding his cold fingers in his palm.

"The reform of the Holy See will continue again, believe me, Ian." Leon said firmly, "Maybe not led by you personally, but there will always be someone who inherits your will. The whole world is undergoing drastic changes, and the Holy See is no exception .It does not change, it only perishes."

In the second half of the day, the two returned to a state of peaceful coexistence.That unexpected conflict was ignored by them tacitly.

But the obvious change is that Leon is alienated from Ian.

Not only was he no longer kissing and hugging Ian like in the past, instead of making people blush, he kept a clear distance instead.

Ian didn't seem to respond to the change.As usual, he sat in front of the lamp with a book in his hand after dinner, concentrating on reading.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Ian closed the book and was about to get up and go to the bedroom, when he took a tentative look at Leon.

In the past, as long as Leon came back to spend the night, they would have a love affair every night.

When Leon was in a good mood, he would drag Ian into the bedroom early, or put him on the sofa, carpet, dressing room, bathroom, etc. anywhere.Afterwards it behaves like a big dick.

Ian has also gone from resisting at the beginning to drifting with the crowd later.

In his heart, Ian still resisted this disdainful relationship.But his body has been subconsciously tamed, getting used to that extreme intimacy.

This kind of life is very regular, like having to clock in once a day, so Leon didn't move when it was time to go to bed tonight, making Ian feel as if there was some unfinished task.

His Majesty covered his face halfway with the document, and looked like he was working overtime and diligently, without raising his head, he said, "Go to sleep. From today onwards, I will move to the bedroom next door, and I won't bother you again."

Ian froze for a moment, then said, "Okay. Good night."

Then he went into the bedroom without looking back and closed the door.

Is this gone?

Leon raised his brows upside down, threw the official document behind his head, and rushed to the door of the master bedroom.

In fact, the hearing of the dark sentinel is excellent, and the door of the bedroom is made of ordinary materials. Even if Leon is in the next room, he can still hear every move inside.But he just wanted to squat on the carpet like a dog, put his ears on the door, and become a Stoka.

Ian walked slowly in the bedroom, first went to the dressing room to get his clothes, took a shower, and then stayed by the window for a while, probably saying an evening prayer.

The sound of his feet stepping on the carpet is very soft, he must be barefoot...

Leon wondered.Thinking of Ian's white and thin feet half-sinked in the dark gray plush carpet, he couldn't help feeling a little thirsty.

The sound of the quilt being lifted, Ian went to bed.

He didn't turn off the light, but there was no sound of turning the pages of the book.

Ian got out of bed again and walked around the room.

Can't he sleep?Is it because he lost his body temperature without me by his side, and couldn't get used to it for a while?

The corner of Leon's mouth curled up, and he didn't even notice that the footsteps had come to the door when he was distracted.

The door opened suddenly, and warm yellow lights poured out, covering the pervert squatting outside the door.

Leon raised his head stiffly and looked at Ian.

Ian: "..."

Leon: "..."

Ian frowned.

A hairy tail stretched out from behind Leon, shaking it flatteringly.

With a blank expression, Ian slammed the door on Leon's dog's face.

He lay back on the bed and turned off the light.

A moment later, there was a very faint sound of "Woo..." from outside the door.

The man said everything, and went back to the bedroom opposite the door.

In the darkness, the corners of Ian's lips curled slightly.

The author has something to say: I said it, this article will be sweet.
