Chapter 24

The young man with beautiful and smooth silver hair changed into his most commonly worn light white military uniform, combed his not particularly long hair, and fastened the metal button to the top. In the mirror, the beautiful woman lowered her brows, making him look particularly sinister and cold, like a poisonous snake choosing its prey.

He pushed open the door of the room, and the deputy who was waiting beside him handed him a transparent electronic screen in time. Most of the small matters had been handled diligently by his subordinates, and the rest were important matters that needed to be reviewed by the King Insect himself.

"There's no rush." ​​The Insect King glanced at it, folded the electronic screen into a small cube, and tucked it into the portable computer on his wrist. With a long stride, he changed direction and headed straight for the conference room. The subordinates who had been standing by, waiting with their heads bowed, didn't waste any more time and hurried to follow.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, the interior was decorated exactly the same as the hall in the collective consciousness network, except that the highest seat had become more exquisite and gorgeous.

The colleague with golden eyes was wearing a white coat and sitting at his seat, writing something on the electronic screen with his head down.

The colleague with long white hair was sitting in his seat as usual, with his eyes closed in deep thought. The rich businessman knew that he was unilaterally trying to establish mental communication with his mother. The other colleagues were basically not at home unless there was a decree from the empress. Their seats were often vacant and everything was the same as before.

The other Zerg were not qualified to follow in and stood outside on their own accord.

"Instead of handing him over to His Highness, you brought him back." The silver-haired king insect pulled out a chair and sat down gracefully. "What do you mean?"

Hearing his question, the scholar put away his electronic pen and sent the information he had been completing to his two colleagues. "I must first thoroughly check the person, eliminate the danger, and prevent any possible accidents. After all, we can't let the same mistakes happen again."

Speaking of that matter, the priest who had originally closed his eyes immediately reacted, suddenly opening his eyelids, his dark blue eyes filled with murderous intent: "Don't mention that to me."

The others were silent. When the Queen was assassinated, the priest was the closest and the first to arrive at the scene. Regardless of how much psychological trauma it caused to others, he was the most radical in opposing the keeping of the Ice Clan member. He almost succeeded in secretly taking action several times when the Queen was away, and was punished several times but refused to change his ways.

The King Insect had advised the mother to leave this person behind, saying that he was not of the same race, his heart must be different, and it was unsafe. However, as long as the Ice Clan member pretended to be pitiful and took a few steps with grievance, the mother would wave her hand and say, "Oh, stay for a while."

The Zerg Queen's soft-hearted ending has been engraved in history. A few words cannot fully describe how unforgettable it was.

We can't make the same mistake again this time. Scholars plan to cut the person apart for research and then put him back together. After all, with advanced technology and equipment, the human body is no different from a bunch of machines. At most, it is more sophisticated. If there is any mistake in the assembly, it can be disassembled and reassembled.

The priest nodded at this suggestion, and he added, "I'll go over there and brainwash her, give her some psychological hints, and if she does something wrong, I'll immediately detonate the mental bomb."

"Have you informed His Highness about what you are doing?" The silver-haired king insect did not object to the methods of his two colleagues. In the eyes of this group of insects with an extremely protective desire, this was normal. They were even worried that their methods were not enough. He was only worried that people would be exhausted and then go to see the Queen in a listless manner, which would make them look incompetent.

"Mother will pity her," the white-haired Overlord said firmly. His emotions were probably out of control, as the feathery tentacles sprouting from his head were fluttering. "She pities these lower creatures most."

As soon as these words were spoken, the wealthy businessman completely gave up his objection. Her Majesty the Queen was too merciful. Compared with these other ruthless executioners, she was like a saint. Because of their soft-heartedness, they paid a price that they could not accept at all.

The matter was settled and everyone dispersed. The priest wanted to see what the person who made the queen "obsessed" looked like, so he followed the scholar to the laboratory.

Even a rich businessman would not miss out on this kind of thing. As a result, the two king insects almost lost control of their emotions when they saw people and revealed their true forms. The fluctuation of their power damaged several precision instruments. They were stung twice by the scholar who rarely got angry with his poison needle and were kicked out together.

The big moth and the big spider, which were of similar color, looked at each other, both disgusted with each other, and went about their own business.

On the other side, it was already dusk when the military training ended in the afternoon. College students wearing low-profile camouflage uniforms walked out in groups. When they arrived at the school gate, An Xiaoya, who had nothing to do and wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest, waved goodbye to them.

Yue Qiaoqing on the side also waited for his alpha. The cold and beautiful lady took his hand. The little omega greeted Wen Yuxiao who was standing there, smiled sweetly and left, leaving her alone, staring at the crowded crowd in a daze.

Someone passed by and bumped into her hard. No one apologized, but it just happened to bring her back to her senses. She rubbed her aching shoulder and remembered that she needed to buy some medical spray.

Although she had used the spray from school to treat her hand injury during the day, there was still a shallow flesh-pink wound on her finger. An Xiaoya asked her to go back and spray it again, and then she remembered that she didn't buy this kind of medical supplies.

This was also the reason why she appeared outside on this bustling student street with a huge flow of people coming and going and countless shops and stalls.

Wen Yuxiao absentmindedly followed the navigation and passed by the pharmacy three times. He sighed and admitted that he was just upset and wanted to take a walk. Little did he know that the "heroine" he had been thinking about did not have a harem after being welcomed back, but was almost taken away for dissection research.

The streets ahead were blocked, and large numbers of military vehicles and armed men rushed there. There were even mechas flying in the air, circling overhead and scanning back and forth with red light.

She didn't know what happened here, but this also reminded her that she had walked too far from the school. Her body, which had been tired all day, began to ache at this moment, especially her calf muscles. She felt as if she would die together with him if he didn't sit down and rest.

Looking around, there were too many people gathered, so densely packed that he couldn't see what was happening inside. Wen Yuxiao turned around and prepared to return.

Suddenly, she keenly sensed something strange, looked straight in one direction, and met the eyes of a young man in the crowd.

The other person came along with the crowd. His height stood out even among the boys. He was extremely conspicuous. He had a handsome and delicate appearance, and looked a little silly. His blood-red eyes, which were obviously a little weird and scary, showed a clarity and stupidity unique to college students, making this tall and thin boy seem overly innocent and cute.

It's like a fluffy white-haired puppy on the side of the road, with tearful eyes and a face full of the soft and cute feeling of "Come and touch me", "Why don't you touch me yet", "I really want to be patted on the head".

When the boy raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a happy smile, his adorable doggy-like demeanor became even more obvious.

So much so that when he squeezed through the crowd and came to her side in the blink of an eye with somewhat abnormal speed, Wen Yuxiao really had an illusion that a clingy puppy saw its owner and ran towards him with its head raised, asking for a pat.

It's impossible to touch it, not in this life.

She was about to have a myocardial infarction when she saw the Zerg, and it was a good thing that she didn't fall to the ground and try to extort money from them. The rich businessman just said that there were some clues on the matter, but she had no idea about the specific progress. However, the other party's attitude towards her was pretty good, so her identity has not been exposed yet?

Her mind was in a tangle of thoughts and she couldn't make up her mind, while the boy, as obedient as a big dog, was still patiently standing by her side, staring down at her intently.

Realizing that he had been standing there for too long, and the people around him were good-looking and eye-catching, Wen Yuxiao secretly pinched his arm to wake himself up, stop thinking about those trivial things, and deal with the king insect in front of him first.

She said, "Do you want to come with me?"

The young man nodded and immediately replied, "Okay."

So she led her dog... no, a handsome boy towards the apartment.

There was no way. She really didn't know where to go. She was an Overlord, a war machine that could kill a group of people around it in three seconds. She couldn't just lead people to a crowded milk tea shop or restaurant and talk about Zerg matters in front of others without paying attention to others.

The only private place where she could feel at ease was the apartment. Although it was inhumane for her to bring the next resident home right after the previous one left, they were all king insects and could understand each other... right?

The young man naturally greeted the AI ​​butler at the door: "Terminal."

A polite smile appeared on the AI ​​screen. "Long time no see, Shadow-sama. A polite reminder: the last resident here was a wealthy businessman."

Unfortunately, it was too late. The King Insect, who had been following the Queen, had only reached the door before hearing these words. The boy, who had been calm just now, suddenly froze in expression. As the door of the room opened, the sweet smell belonging to another King Insect rushed into his brain. He couldn't help but retched reflexively.

When Wang Chong saw his mother standing at the door with a somewhat helpless expression, cautious and not daring to speak, his heart skipped a beat. It was over!

Seeing that she seemed to have misunderstood something, the young man explained to himself with his hands dancing excitedly: "Your Highness! Your Highness!! I don't hate you, I love you the most!! It's just that I really hate the smell left by that spider..."

He was very flustered when he explained, and his body movements were so violent that the black guitar case on his back was shaking. Wen Yuxiao, who was so embarrassed that she wanted to die, only noticed it. She thought there was just an ordinary guitar inside, and was distracted by the fact that Wang Chong also played music. She habitually grabbed the corner of his clothes, led the man in, and brought him a glass of cold white wine in front of him.

After all, I'm about to vomit, so drink some water to calm down.

The young man, feeling uncomfortable as if he had fallen into a spider's nest, happily grasped the paper cup as if it were a treasure. He held it in his palm and was reluctant to drink it. Wen Yuxiao, who was sitting opposite him, saw this and his mouth twitched.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, my code name is Shadow!" The lively and cheerful boy was able to win the favor of others. He introduced his identity in a chattering manner. He was the captain of the Zerg special operations team and was good at infiltration, disguise, and assassination.

At the end of his words, his blood-red eyes sparkled as he looked at the silent girl expectantly: "Your Highness, is there anyone you don't like? Leave it to me to deal with!"

"Uh... no, no, no, no need." The other party's kindness was a little hard to bear, and Wen Yuxiao quickly refused.

Trying to change the subject, she looked at the guitar case beside her and asked, "Can you play guitar?"

"Huh?" The Insect King was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have never considered that Her Majesty the Queen would ask such a question. He scratched his head and said firmly, "I can learn it right away!"

No... Wen Yuxiao felt a bunch of question marks popping up on his head. What is this violin case used for?

The young man's gaze followed her to the violin case, and he suddenly realized, "Oh, Your Highness, so that's what you're talking about. Inside is my weapon. Didn't you assign me a mission a few days ago? I'm quite suitable for it, so I completed it on the way to see Your Highness."

When Wen Yuxiao heard the key words, his eyes lit up. Since his life and property were at stake, he had to be careful. The king insect in front of him didn't seem to have any scheming minds. He answered everything he asked and looked a little dazed. He might also be the first to come into contact with the heroine. This was a good opportunity to dig up some information!

But it was impossible for her, a simple-minded girl, to use those indirect and subtle tactics. She didn't have such sophisticated rhetoric, so she could only ask directly: "So... um, uh, how is the progress of the mission?"

Uh ...

As soon as she said it, she regretted it. What kind of cliché was that? If only she had read more books on language, she wouldn't have spoken in such a crude way.

Now she could only pray that the Zerg on the opposite side was a much dumber idiot than her and would not notice anything. She really had nowhere to escape in this apartment!
