Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 39

Chapter 39

After listening to the doctors and nurses’ description of Ji Xingyuan’s physical condition, Qi Feiluan realized that Ji Xingyuan actually showed signs of pheromone disorder yesterday.

He did not receive the notification immediately, did not rush to the hospital when Ji Xingyuan was being treated, and even learned the news from the doctors and nurses after he had been treated for a day and night.

So… is he already an “outsider”?Does he even need to be vigilant?

Although Qi Feiluan knew that he was just a tool to Ji Xingyuan, he was also the most handy and useful tool.

But what if this tool loses its use value?Or maybe one day, the master will decide that this job is no longer convenient and useful?

If even the value as a tool is denied, Qi Feiluan really doesn’t know how to live.

Qi Feiluan lowered his eyes and sat on a chair in the corridor waiting for Ji Xingyuan’s review to end.

The closed ward door opened quietly, and the doctor came out and said to Qi Feiluan: “No problem, Mr. Ji will let you in.”

Qi Feiluan nodded to the doctor, passed by him, and walked into the ward.

The ward door closed quietly behind him, cutting off everything from the outside world.

Ji Xingyuan sat on a chair next to the hospital bed. There was a silver metal box on the table next to him. He said to Qi Feiluan, “Come here and sit.”

Qi Feiluan had a vague premonition when he saw the metal box, but he still walked over.

Ji Xingyuan opened the box, revealing a tube of injection embedded inside. Inside the glass tube was a bluish liquid, which looked like a piece of clean ice under the white light.

After Qi Feiluan walked to the hospital bed and sat down, Ji Xingyuan said: “This is the pheromone extracted from my glands yesterday.”

At this point, he paused. At that moment, Qi Feiluan even felt that there was some child-like expectation in his eyes. He said, “Can I inject it into your body?”

Then Qi Feiluan understood that there was also childlike cruelty in the childlike expectations.

Is Ji Xingyuan asking for his permission?

Qi Feiluan couldn’t tell for a moment whether it was crueler to use violence to force someone to harm someone, or to ask someone for permission to harm oneself.

Every time Qi Feiluan thought Ji Xingyuan was cruel enough, he would always find more cruel ways to torture him.

Is this his punishment for counterattacking Ji Xingyuan at Cloud Tower?

Or is it because he was tortured by these pheromones yesterday, so he needs to feel the same pain today?

Before Qi Feiluan could speak, Ji Xingyuan continued: “I just hope that we can have an effective communication. I have asked the doctor that there will be no side effects when injected into the body, and there will be no sequelae after metabolism. If you don’t agree, then we can find other methods. If you should refuse me, refuse me. Don’t regard this as an order. This is just a request of mine.”

Effective communication?

It’s not that Qi Feiluan hasn’t tried to communicate with Ji Xingyuan, but all kinds of efforts are not as good as throwing stones into the valley, where there will still be an echo.

Qi Feiluan said calmly to Ji Xingyuan: “Okay, I agree to your request.”

He was also tired. Since Ji Xingyuan felt that through this method, they could have an effective communication, so that was fine.

Alcohol and pheromones are just media that numb people’s nerves and allow emotions to overwhelm reason.

Qi Feiluan was born without pheromones, and had never experienced the exchange of pheromones between AOs, let alone the special period when AOs were dominated by pheromones.

He had also suppressed it for too long and wanted to try the feeling of being controlled by pheromones.

But the problem is…

Qi Feiluan unbuttoned the high-collar shirt he was wearing one by one, revealing the silver metal surface underneath, and said, “I no longer have glands, where should I inject them?”

When Ji Xingyuan got the metal box containing the pheromone concentrate today, he had already asked the doctor.

The doctor’s expression at that time was simply indescribable. He said with embarrassment that very few clinical cases in the past had been directly injected into glands. Even glands with degenerated Beta are, after all, organs specialized in producing pheromones and metabolize pheromones more quickly.

If this Beta does not have glands, the only option is intravenous injection. However, during intravenous injection, the pheromone will flow through the body with the blood and be absorbed by the blood and flesh throughout the body through the capillaries. In this way, the pheromone will remain in the body for a longer period of time.

“Wrist veins.”

Qi Feiluan followed the instructions and took off his uniform jacket and put it aside, unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolled up the cuffs neatly, revealing his white wrists, and handed them to Ji Xingyuan.

Ji Xingyuan took out the tube of ice-like pheromone concentrate from the box, closed his prosthetic left hand wearing black leather gloves, and fixed the wrist.

From the past, Qi Feiluan was used to staring at the needle during injections, watching the needle penetrate the skin. As Ji Xingyuan slowly pushed in, a cold feeling climbed up the blood vessels. After the coldness, there was a burning sensation, spreading from the lower arm to the upper arm.

Within a few breaths, the burning sensation spread throughout his body, and then he felt his body temperature slowly rising, as if every nerve in his body had been frozen and then heated.

That weird heat even wrapped up the original vivid pain, turning the sharp pain that should have made people awake into a slow and gentle pain.

Qi Feiluan seemed to have fallen into a hot cloud formed by the combination of high temperature and pain. After a while, even his brain slowly transformed into that chaotic hot cloud.

After Ji Xingyuan pushed in the tube of pheromone concentrate, he stared at Qi Feiluan closely, not letting go of any of his reactions.

He found that Qi Feiluan’s eyes were gradually covered with a layer of moist mist from the clear and firm look before.

The usually straight waist relaxed slightly, and his expression gradually showed a sense of confusion.

It was as if a person who was originally equipped with indestructible armor suddenly took off his armor and turned into a hot, moist cloud.

Ji Xingyuan couldn’t help but lean forward, trying to see more clearly.

“How do you feel? Is there anything particularly uncomfortable? The doctor is right outside.”

Qi Feiluan tried hard to focus on Ji Xingyuan. He could not even maintain his sitting position. He could only support himself on the bed with his hands and said slowly: “It’s very hot.”

Ji Xingyuan couldn’t help but stretched out his left hand to touch Qi Feiluan’s cheek.

Inside the genuine leather gloves were cold mechanical prostheses, which made Qi Feiluan subconsciously stick to them, hoping to get some cold comfort.

Ji Xingyuan unconsciously lowered his voice and asked him coaxingly: “Aluan, last time I invited you to Yunta Restaurant, did you regard the invitation as an order?”

“Yes.” Qi Feiluan said with a hint of confusion, “What else could it be besides an order?”

Although Ji Xingyuan had already realized the answer, the negative emotions that night surged again. He said: “That was just an invitation. It was an invitation from a suitor to invite the person he loved to go on a date.”

“The one you love? Me?”

The pain and heat made Qi Feiluan’s thinking a little sluggish. He couldn’t concentrate on thinking or think about what to say.

Under this situation, the thoughts he had just woken up became more and more clear. Qi Feiluan subconsciously said: “But am I not your tool?”

Ji Xingyuan’s left hand fell on Qi Feiluan’s shoulder and tightened. He was also a little confused: “I said, I will treat you as my equal and the person I love. I will no longer treat you as a tool. Why do you still think of yourself as a tool?”

Ji Xingyuan stared at Qi Feiluan’s moist eyes and asked word by word: “Have you never believed what I said?”

The pain in his shoulder made Qi Feiluan wake up from the hot pain in his body. He and Ji Xingyuan looked at each other as if they were holding a knife blade with their bare hands.

Why?

Ji Xingyuan asked him why?

Ji Xingyuan actually asked him why?

Maybe it was the high temperature of his body that aroused his anger, or maybe the pheromones injected into his body really affected his emotions. Qi Feiluan suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a self-deprecating smile, and said: “Because you are treating me with the same attitude and method as you treat tools.”

“I really don’t believe you. You said you wanted to apologize for your behavior four years ago, but it’s not just about this surgery.”

Ji Xingyuan saw the layer of moist mist in Qi Feiluan’s eyes slowly gathering into two bays of shallow water. However, the layer of water did not condense into raindrops and fall. Instead, it was like a mirror, allowing him to see more clearly the sudden fire in Qi Feiluan’s eyes.

The burning, bright flame, which once made him feel extremely warm, now suddenly burned him, causing him to avoid looking.

Qi Feiluan’s mouth was a little dry. If it weren’t for the fact that his neck was replaced with a metal prosthesis, he would have lost his vocal cords long ago. His voice must be very hoarse when he speaks now.

But it is precisely because the metal prosthesis replaced most of the structure of his neck that his voice is still clear and cold.

“You probably don’t even remember… It was about half a year after the operation. Once, I went to the space port to hand over the cargo. The handover process was not smooth and there were some conflicts. Among the people I fought with, there was an Alpha who was in a susceptible period…”

Qi Feiluan had a high fever and spoke a little slowly, which also gave Ji Xingyuan time to recall.

After Ji Xingyuan heard the three keywords ‘half a year after surgery’, ‘spaceport’ and ‘Alpha in the susceptible period’, he located the corresponding memory.

Although Qi Feiluan was unscathed at that time, his uniform jacket was stained with a little of the Alpha’s blood, and his whole body was covered with the Alpha’s pheromones.It happened that it was close to his susceptible period, and then…

Ji Xingyuan moved his eyebrows and heard Qi Feiluan continue: “After the handover was completed, I returned to the Ji family manor. After the report, you pulled me into the bathroom. You asked me to take off my clothes… one by one, take them all off, and stand naked in front of you.”

It’s not pleasant to talk about the past, because not only do you have to relive the bad memories again, but you also have to retell Ji Xingyuan’s embarrassment at that time.

At that time, Qi Feiluan was roughly pulled into the bathroom by Ji Xingyuan. Ji Xingyuan looked at him sinisterly and threw him one word: “Take off.”

Qi Feiluan didn’t know what he had done wrong, but then he realized that it might be because of the blood stains on his jacket that made Ji Xingyuan uncomfortable.

He took off his coat as he was told, but at the same time he was very confused. Ji Xingyuan received the same training as him. Not to mention the small piece of blood, even if there was a bloody mess in front of him, he shouldn’t have any reaction.

Then, Ji Xingyuan saw that he made no other moves and said, “Take them all off so that they can be washed clean. You are covered with that Alpha’s pheromones.”
