CH 23.1

Lu Liran did not expect that the inhibitor would fail at this time, and that the duration is shorter than last time.

He clenched his teeth, resisting the wave after wave of heat and unspeakable itching in his lower abdomen, and took out a syringe that looked like a round cufflink in his terminal.

Under the attack of the heat, his original skilled actions and movements became slow and chaotic. 

Lu Liran bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the sharp pain made him wake up a little bit.

He rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, and a metal needle popped out from the bottom of the syringe, with a “click” sound, it plunged into his arm.

Lu Liran closed his eyes, enduring the pheromone that was acting rapidly for a while.

Whether it is a pheromone inhibitor or a pheromone neutralizer—— the former can completely cover up the pheromone, while the later can disguise an Omega pheromone as an Alpha, and vice versa—— as they flood into the body to take effect, they all collide with the hormones in the body, causing vertigo in the person injected with it.

The duration of vertigo is related to the physical fitness and dependence of the individual injected.

Lu Liran is already familiar with this kind of discomfort, but it doesn’t mean that it makes enduring the discomfort easier.

He closed his eyes tightly, trembling indistinctly, sitting in the damp and cold cave, his face pale.

He had just injected himself with a pheromone inhibitor, and it was supposed to be injected with a pheromone neutralizer half an hour later, but he didn’t have that much time, he had to finish the injection before Ke Ji came back. 

Without the intermediate buffer time, injecting the neutralizing agent was like a dose of hot oil, and the veins on Lu Liran’s neck were swollen and reddened due to the pain.

The narrow cave space was packed with choking tequila pheromones.

——As if warning everyone, this is a strong Alpha who is not easy to get along with.

Lu Liran closed his eyes tightly, he exhaled a breath carrying a rush of heat, and the abnormal hot tide deep inside his body slowly subsided under the effect of the inhibitor.

But even so, Ke Ji still wants to catch the other person, and his intuition makes him believe that there will always be some connection with that person.

However, the Omega pheromone only drifted in the woods for a while, and was soon washed away by the smell of damp soil in the woods. It was like a hallucination in a dream, even Ke Ji couldn’t find it.

He stood in the middle of the woods in a daze.

The sky was still drizzling and a cold breeze blew through the forest, only then did he regain his senses, remembering that he had other things to do. 

He identified the herbs that Lu Liran might use and walked a little deeper into the woods, gradually discovering that the ecology here showed signs of human intervention and was clearly not some no-man’s land, which also proved the fact that Lu Liran chose the right route to get out.

Ke Ji guessed that they had already entered the conserved forest. This is a wide forest area specially designed and cultivated by the government in order to prevent avalanches from threatening the normal operation of the human world.

Here, the survival threat factor will be greatly reduced.

While picking herbs, Ke Ji was also paying attention to other traces of activities in the forest. 

That Omega seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. The obvious pheromone smell meant that the distance between them might only be tens of meters apart, but Ke Ji searched all the forests in this area, and found no sign of the second person’s activities.

Ke Ji could only return the same way with the herbs he picked.

When he returned to the cave, he first took two steps back, before being suffocated by the choking Alpha pheromone in the cave.

The same Alpha’s competitive nature and instincts stimulated Ke Ji to nearly release his pheromone to counter-attack as well. 

Fortunately, he was covered with a layer of Omega pheromone like a protective suit, allowing Ke Ji to stop in time when he was on the verge of losing his composure.

Lu Liran noticed that Ke Ji was back again, and he didn’t miss the small movement of Ke Ji suddenly taking two steps back.

He suddenly realized that he was an Omega—— no matter how mysterious the other party’s ability was, Ke Ji was still an Omega who was easily attracted by Alpha pheromone.

Lu Liran gritted his teeth and propped himself up, growling low for Ke Ji to leave the cave. 

Ke Ji frowned slightly, but soon realized what Lu Liran was worrying about. He paused, and had no choice but to put the herbs he picked at the entrance of the cave, and said: “Then you take the herbs and treat your wound.”

Lu Liran slightly swayed his upper body, because of the previous heat and the side effects of the two subsequent intervention injections, his face was abnormally flushed, and his vision was slightly blurred.

It wasn’t until Ke Ji opened his mouth that he noticed that the man was still holding herbs.

He was slightly taken aback, it turned out that Ke Ji’s departure earlier was not out of anger? He went to find herbs for him? 

Lu Liran groaned and walked two steps forward, he grabbed the herbs on the ground, then looked up at Ke Ji standing outside the cave, and saw that the man’s face was still slightly gloomy, as if his anger had not disappeared.

He pursed his lips, not understanding why Ke Ji was angry, he was the one who was injured, he was the one who opened it, he was the one who was unlucky and suffered the pain, and Ke Ji was not implicated.

What a weird guy. Lu Liran thought in a daze, he didn’t open his mouth to break the ice, and just turned around and walked back.

Ke Ji saw that the other party had been tormented to the point of collapse and lost all strength, but was still stubbornly unwilling to open his mouth to show weakness. He pinched the center of his eyebrows helplessly, just as he was about to go in, he then thought that because of his identity, he was rejected by the other party just now. 

He had no choice but to give up, he guarded the entrance of the cave, and said to Lu Liran: “I’m right outside, call me if you need anything, I’m always here.”

Lu Liran didn’t say a word, and he didn’t want to admit that because of Ke Ji’s words, he felt a long-lost sense of security and wanted to rely on him.

He shook his head in a daze, as if to shake the thought out of him all together.

This sense of security and dependence are like poppies, making people vulnerable, addicted, and impossible to escape, and he couldn’t have both. 

Lu Liran stuffed those herbs into his mouth, while correcting the expression on his face, he chewed it and spit it out in his palm.

His mouth was filled with the bitter and numb taste of herbs, but he didn’t frown, he just pressed and rubbed the spitted herbs on the wounds that had opened again, then squeezed the wound slightly harder.

The sharp stinging pain tugged and stirred his nerves, as if the wound had been reopened with a sharp knife, then rummage through the tender flesh, and sprinkle a layer of fine salt on top.

Lu Liran trembled all over, and couldn’t help letting out a low panting of “ho ho”. He leaned against the cold and hard rock wall behind him, and there were bursts of blackness in front of his eyes. 

Ke Ji was sitting by the bonfire outside the cave, he rarely encountered such a choking and out-of-control Alpha pheromone situation.

He frowned slightly, secretly wondering what kind of accident Lu Liran had landed on—— Is it a problem of mental power that caused the pheromone to go out of control? Or is it because of illegal use of some kind of pheromone control agent?

He knows that there are many different control agents related to pheromones on the black market, which can enhance or weaken pheromone influence, or like him, disguise himself as another gender……

A thought crossed Ke Ji’s mind, but he found it unbelievable, and quickly suppressed it—— Is he a Beta pretending to be an Alpha? But that doesn’t make sense either. 

He squinted his eyes and thought about it, and finally felt that it was more likely to be a mental disorder.

Judging from Lu Liran’s abilities and skills, the opponent is undoubtedly a very good Alpha. And usually the more powerful the Alpha, the more intense the accompanying mental power is, and from time to time, there will be small riots. The uncontrolled side effects of pheromones can only stabilize when they’re bonded and marked an Omega, whose mental power is equally powerful and vast enough, otherwise they can only rely on drug injections.

The reason why Ke Ji understands so well was because his mental power was also very easy to lose control. It wasn’t until the bond with a temporary mark that time that he suppressed it a little. But a temporary mark was like a trigger bomb. While suppressing and maintaining stability, it also makes potential torture and threats more unpredictable.

This was the reason why Ke Ji didn’t dare to use more mental power. 

Long-term abuse of different control agents can produce more or less side effects, some of which can be recovered with conditioning, and some irreversible.

Ke Ji lowered his eyes, he hoped that Lu Liran did not use such things easily.

Without giving Ke Ji much time to think about it, he heard a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the cave.

Hearing the sound, Ke Ji subconsciously turned around, and saw Lu Liran half curled up with his eyes closed, half naked lying on the slush floor. 

“……” Ke Ji cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly got up and ran over.

He checked Lu Liran’s condition again, the wound hadn’t been fully bandaged, and the herbal medicine was stuck into the wound, no wonder he passed out from the pain.

Ke Ji took a deep breath, and readjusted the label on Lu Liran—— the Alpha who didn’t treat himself well. 

He even secretly wondered in his heart whether the other party had any hidden tendency to self-destruct.

He shook his head to shake off this strange idea, and re-bandaged the wound on Lu Liran’s chest near his ribs.

He used the dagger to cut open his own clothing, the ventilation of this close-fitting clothing is good. He tore it off as a gauze, and wrapped up the wounded area tightly.

Ke Ji rolled down Lu Liran’s close-fitting quick-drying clothes to his chest, and accidentally scratched the man’s chest with his fingers, and saw that even though Lu Liran was still in a coma, his body was trembling sensitively and involuntarily 

Ke Ji paused, his face slightly embarrassed, he hurriedly rolled up his quick-drying clothes, and put Lu Liran on the haystack on his side without looking sideways.

We are both Alpha, be generous, and it’s not on purpose.

After treating Lu Liran’s wound, he quickly came out of the cave, he sat in front of the bonfire, and kept watch all night.
