Chapter 30
“Beep beep beep beep…”
The computer started to sound a series of message notifications.
Yael, who was sitting next to him, turned a deaf ear to the conversation and only opened the phone after he finished what he was doing.
Sure enough, hundreds of email reminders filled the homepage, and even after swiping up with my finger several times, I still couldn't reach the bottom.
He clicked in to see the details——
[If you don't want to get your throat pierced while walking on the street, hand over that female slave right away, or don't blame us for being rude! ]
[Do you think that female insect is a good person? Go somewhere else and show your ridiculous sympathy! ]
[Attachment 1.awi, Attachment 2.awi, Attachment 3.awi, Attachment 4.awi...]
[Don't think that we won't dare to touch you just because male insects have special protection. Wait and see, idiot. Don't cry and beg us to let you go in the end...! ]
【Attachment: Picture compressed package.zip (10G)】
[Poor bug and rotten thing, they are a perfect match, bah! ]
Yael lowered his eyes, indifferently ignoring the insulting words, took screenshots of all the emails, and put them into a file named "Intimidation and Blackmail" in the background.
Although I repeatedly told myself to stay calm, my fingertips couldn't help but tremble when I saw those videos and pictures.
I opened the window a little, and the cold wind from outside blew in my face, ruffling my hair.
Yael took a deep breath of the cool air and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
He started receiving these emails two days ago when he and Cecilia were watching a movie.
After replying with a "?", I started to receive an explosive email bombardment, the main idea of which was to hand over Nishizawa.
Although he kept making harsh remarks, Yael could sense the panic and anxiety between the lines.
Very strange.
The exchange probably wouldn't care about a female slave that should have been "dealt with". Although the workers were determined to kill Cecil, they didn't pursue her relentlessly after she was driven away.
This is enough to prove that Caesar is not that important in their eyes.
Then why did he suddenly receive such a threatening email more than half a month after he brought Caesar back?
Yael stared at the scene outside the window in a daze, and then his eyes gradually darkened.
The only explanation that made sense was that those guys didn't know that Xi Ze's existence was special, and thought that killing him or being robbed were no big deal, so they just covered up this embarrassing incident.
It is very likely that the people above the exchange or the insects with more prominent identities began to ask for information about Xize's current situation, which made them realize the seriousness of the matter and wanted to get the female insect back to the exchange before the matter was exposed.
As for those disgusting videos and pictures...
He had already caught a glimpse of some of the methods used to torture female insects during the live broadcast, but considering the level of perversion in this society, those were probably just child's play.
The contents that were sorted out separately and packaged and sent to him must be disgusting and bloody beyond the bottom line.
It bombarded him for two days, and he didn't open any of the dozens of gigabytes of videos and pictures.
The rotten flesh that should have been left behind and had been cut out with great pain long ago deserved to be thrown into the stinking ditch, slowly and completely disappearing with the passage of time.
Instead of being turned over and exposed, being used as a tool of intimidation and threat, with the extremely malicious intention of blocking the new path that the female insect has already embarked on.
He wanted to close the page directly, but a video cover image passed by his sight and made Yael's eyelashes tremble.
…
The picture shook for a while, and finally focused on the female insect's drooping head.
The hand grabbed his hair and used a very rough method to force his face upward.
The female insect's face was covered in blood, and one of its eyes was so bloody that it was almost impossible to open.
At that time, his eyes were not blind, but they were still confused.
The golden eyes were like shattered pieces of glass, clear and empty, staring at somewhere in the void, as silent as a corpse.
"Hey! Wake up... Why don't you react at all? Did you hit him on the head?"
"No way, I didn't. You were the one who hit me the hardest just now... Stop pretending! Get up!"
The abuser lifted him up by his hair, and the video zoomed out a little, capturing half of his body.
Yael turned his head suddenly and closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, his eyes were slightly red.
It's all in the past, already... in the past.
Now Cesar is alive and well in his house. He will soon regain his sight and stand up again...
So calm down, it's all over.
He took a deep breath for a while, prepared himself mentally, and decided to finish watching the video.
Based on the female insect's injuries and condition, it can be roughly judged that this video was taken within a month between the second and third times he saw the female insect.
After being splashed with a basin of ice water, a new round of beating began in the video.
It was not even an execution, but a wanton and malicious violence, a chaotic mess, vicious and blind.
Apart from the cursing and booing of other insects, the only sound in the video was the female insect's panting, which was intermittent, full of pain, hard and heavy, and she was trying her best to breathe in between suffocation and coughing.
Sometimes the camera is pointed at the female insect's face, trying to force out an expression of humiliation or shame.
But he didn't really look at the camera. He just lowered his eyelashes and breathed in silence, with only a slight twist of pain occasionally flashing across his face.
Sometimes when the camera turns outward, you can see the densely packed torture instruments hanging on the wall next to you.
Some of them were even dripping with fresh blood, and a dark light was flowing through the sharp spikes, which made people shudder just by looking at them.
His fingertips dug deeply into his palms, and all he could see was unbearable filth, but Yael was lost in thought uncontrollably.
Those guys just tortured him as if he were a piece of meat without any feeling or emotion.
But the fact is that when facing those forbearing golden eyes, the memories of being with Xize surged up, bringing with it a soft and heavy warmth, enough to completely cover all the images in the video.
He remembered the first time the female insect lost control and nearly died, but she stepped forward to catch him as he fell. He remembered the female insect's hatred and struggle, as well as her final compromise.
He always seems to be enduring and compromising.
He remembered the kiss that was imprinted on the back of his hand, the quilt that had been moved to his side and was already warm, and the way he had called him "Master" in a low voice, with his light golden eyes that were a little moist, suppressed and eager.
He remembered how the female insect was overly cautious when facing him, how she was so careful, how she wore clothes on her back, how she put her hand on his forehead to measure his temperature, how she trembled the moment her fingertips touched his face...
There were too many. Every scene and every frame seemed to be filled with some kind of hidden but deep and intense emotion, which filled his heart and chest only to be realized later, making him tremble with fear.
The video progress bar is nearing the end, and the torture that never gave the inmates a break finally stopped, but only because the instruments of torture had been broken and the torturers were becoming breathless.
"Hey, if you're willing to lick my hand and call me master, I'll let you go today, how about that?"
The insect that had just wielded the stick most ferociously squatted down, stretched out a hand in front of the female insect, and twisted its fingers like teasing a dog.
As soon as these words came out, the female insects next to him burst into laughter.
"Andes! You are so talented!... Go ahead and yell, I'll give you food if you yell. Haven't you eaten for three days? You bitch can really endure...!"
He saw a spark condensing in the female insect's dim eyes.
It was like a soul that had left its body and finally returned to its place. Amidst the pain and blood, a sharp light suddenly burst out, like the leader of the alpha wolf that finally found the right moment to strike back.
“Ah!! My finger – it’s broken!! Aa…
A piece of bloody rotten meat fell to the ground, and the strong guy whose finger was bitten off let out a deafening wail, as if what was bitten off was not a finger, but his entire life.
Yael heard a very light sneer from the female insect amid the chaotic background noise.
With a hint of satisfaction, contempt and sarcasm, it vaguely reveals the sharp arrogance that has never been extinguished.
Even though it was me who was lying on the ground, it seemed as if I was looking down at this farce of these poor insects from beginning to end.
"coward."
But Yael in front of the screen closed his eyes, loosened his pale, tightly pursed lips, and murmured almost silently.
...Don't be like that.
He hoped that the female insect would give in and let him suffer less. At least the trash behind the scenes would be happy to see him surrender rather than resist.
This is not impossible. There were many conflicts and frictions during the period when he first picked up the female insects, but none of them were unsolvable.
Most of the time, the female insect would silently compromise and submit, allowing him to invade her territory inch by inch, exploring and running wild on it.
The more resistance there is, the more severe the torture will be.
The video was recorded more than half a month after he picked up the female worm. He couldn't imagine how the female worm could have survived this period in such a miserable state.
At least he was heartbroken to the point of feeling his heart was about to be torn apart. He clenched his palms with his fingertips so hard that he was shaking, and waves of suffocation overwhelmed his mouth and nose.
The guy who was ridiculed and hurt started to curse with a distorted expression, and started to beat more chaotically than before, with more and more recklessness in his attacks, and the video was a mess.
"Stop it, you idiots."
An extremely cold and hard command suddenly sounded.
Then there was the clanging sound of military boots hitting the ground, and the machine recording the video was suddenly knocked to the ground, bringing the female insect's face into the picture at close range.
The female insect struggled to raise her head, but was crushed to the ground by a black military boot with spikes on the bottom.
The video stops abruptly.
But perhaps the real torture has just begun.
Yael stared at the screen, his mind blank.
After a long silence, he stood up and washed his hands.
The blood that was squeezed out of his palm was washed away by the water, and the red color gradually faded. The icy water in the cold winter was bone-chilling, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably.
After returning to the room from the bathroom, he realized belatedly that the room was so stuffy that he could hardly breathe.
He pushed the two windows open as wide as possible, and the biting cold from outside blew in all at once, making his face a little stiff.
After doing all these things blindly and urgently like a headless fly, Yael finally returned to the table.
The screen of the optical computer still showed the same image as after the video was finished. A small light-colored triangle remained on the profile of the female insect, like an indelible mark of shame.
The calmness that had been suppressed to the extreme suddenly turned into rage without any warning.
"Crack-bang!"
Yael raised his hand suddenly and swept everything on the table!
With a series of crackling sounds, the heavy desk was lifted up at both corners and then fell heavily to the ground, making a dull sound.
He could hear the creaking sound of hard teeth clenching, and the piercing buzzing sound penetrated his mind, overlapping with the pounding heartbeat and gradually spreading over his head.
Yael let his rage boil over, then calmed down as never before when it reached its peak.
——He changed his mind.
There is no point in systematically collecting evidence and using legal means to punish those guys.
Yael's eyes were cold and his glass-clear eyes suddenly turned and looked at the computer lying in the mess.
"Hello... Hello? Adelaide?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Do me a favor."
The sound coming from the optical computer was warm and calm, without a trace of disturbance, but after working together for so long, Adelaide could still distinguish the subtle differences.
He is angry, very angry, why?
"Help me fix this and be online one more hour a day."
The online time is the "communication and learning" time stipulated by Yell, which is very stingy, only three hours a day. Adelaide has complained about this unreasonable rule for a long time.
After hearing this condition, he threw all the reasons and legal ethics out of his mind and agreed without hesitation.
"Tell me, how can I help?"
After a series of tedious steps, Adelaide followed the path according to the email account provided by Yael, and found the computers. He broke through the defenses at an extremely fast speed and occupied them completely.
Through the micro-camera on the optical computer, one can see that the holders are a few reckless female insects. They look ferocious and are wearing uniform work vests. There seem to be a few small fly head-shaped characters on the work badges on their chests.
Adelaide narrowed his eyes and read out the words, "...Exchange?"
His page was shared with Yael's computer, and the image he was seeing now was synchronized with Yael's eyes.
The female insect in the camera had a distorted expression and questioned the scarred-faced female insect standing in the front.
"Andes, what do we do now? I can't believe who wants to watch these videos..."
“How much is left in stock?”
Andes bit a cigarette, his expression gloomy and cruel, "It's better to delay as long as possible. The female slave can't run away. Just find a chance to snatch her back."
This is the one whose finger was bitten off in the video. The identity matches.
Yael lowered his eyes and thought carefully for a while.
"I'll transfer 5,000 star coins to you. You transfer it to his computer and change the date to December 22. Mix it into the previous account and mark it as No. 36. Don't let anyone find out."
Adelaide raised his eyebrows slightly, and without asking why, he fiddled with the panel for a while, then neatly transferred the money as he said, "Okay."
"And then?"
"They bombarded me with threatening emails. Don't read the content. Delete all the initial emails."
Yael was silent for a while, then continued, "Can you implant a virus into their chips to prevent them from contacting me in any way? Or I can install something here to completely cut off my contact with them."
"I can install a jammer here. No bugs other than the ones you specify can send you any information."
Yergan nodded crisply, "Okay."
There was a knocking sound, then a long beep, and Adelaide's voice was heard.
"The email has been deleted, the blocker has been installed, and then what—"
"then--"
Yael's voice overlapped with his question.
Adelaide paused, and the voice next to him was so calm it was almost cold.
"Blow up their computers."
Adelaide's eyes were startled for a moment, but he immediately chuckled and tapped a key with his fingertips crisply.
"Yes, sir."
“Beep!!!!”
The moment the fingertips bounced back, the computer immediately entered the self-destruction program, and the bright red progress bar was loaded in one second.
"Andes, what's wrong with your computer? It keeps flashing red..."
"Bang--!!!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang-!!!"
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——”
“Ahhh my hand! The optical computer… ahhh my hand is broken, it’s broken!! Call an ambulance, hurry up!!”
“It hurts! It hurts so much!! Why did the optical computer suddenly explode? My hand, ahhhhh——!!”
The loud explosions rang out one after another. The advanced optical computer's defense was strong enough to blow off the entire arm.
The scene was filled with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and tragic wails mixed with roars echoed in my ears at 360 degrees.
Sweet as the sound of nature.
Yael narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the heaviness in his chest finally ease up a little.
Adelaide, who was also appreciating this scene, looked a little dazed and guessed something.
"After the optical computer was blown up, they would definitely buy a new one and import the data into it, along with the fake transaction records, leaving no trace of the intrusion."
"If the transaction records are exposed, sending a fake video to fool the boss would be a serious dereliction of duty."
He stopped there, then raised the corners of his lips and praised, "You are really cunning."
"Thank you for today."
Yael did not respond to his words, but simply said that he received an equally satisfactory reply.
"You're welcome. Remember to stay an extra hour tonight."
After closing the communication with Adelaide, Yer rubbed the surface of the computer and broadcast a voice communication.
"Hello, is this the City Machine Unified Control Center?"
It was the first time that he used his male insect's privileges. With a few words, he replaced the surveillance footage of him picking up Cize on that snowy night, as well as the records of the city machines chasing the female insects, and requested that the archive be deleted.
Then he continued to broadcast the news without stopping.
"Do you have hospital surveillance authority, Dr. Hughes?"
"Dean Elaine, could you please help me?"
Yael walked to the window and closed it. After receiving a positive answer, he relaxed slightly and chuckled, "Yes... OK, thank you."
Only after he finished all these things did his expression calm down. He also deleted the video sent in the email to make sure that his computer was clean and without any traces left.
He was silent for a while, then picked up everything on the floor and put it back on the table, making sure 015 wouldn't notice anything.
Finally, Yael removed the mental barrier, opened the door and walked out of the room.
*
The living room was empty and seemed a bit bleak and lonely.
"Okay, you see that red wire in there? One end is connected to... unplug it and plug it into the port next to it..."
The female insect's voice came from outside the balcony, and it seemed to be mixed with 015's voice. Yael paused slightly and walked outside.
On the balcony, 015's belly was wide open, revealing the complex circuits and precision gears inside, and a small mechanical heart was beating rhythmically.
The ground was covered with disassembled parts, and the scene looked a bit scary.
"Oh, okay, I'll look for it."
After hearing the female insect's instructions, it quickly lowered its head to look for the corresponding line and reached in to rummage around inside.
The weather was very good, and the sunshine as clear as water poured in, casting a shimmering shadow on the ground of the small balcony. The breeze lifted the curtains.
Caesar was sitting in his wheelchair on the far left side of the balcony.
The golden light blurred the outline of the female insect's body, and tiny spots of light danced between her hair and eyelashes.
He half-closed his eyes, as if completely immersing himself in the sunlight, and only occasionally issued a concise command.
Hearing him coming, Xi Ze turned his head, chuckled and called out, "Master."
The scene just now flashed before his eyes, and Yael's breathing stopped.
But when I came to my senses, the female insect's face was clean without a trace of blood.
The numerous scars on his body that were too painful to look at had mostly healed and were neatly covered by decent clothes.
The scenes in the video have indeed become part of the past.
"Okay, then what?"
015's voice interrupted them, attracting Xi Ze's attention.
The panic that had always lingered in my heart finally dissipated a little.
Yael leaned against the balcony door somewhat weakly, watching Caesar continue to instruct 015 to reassemble its own parts.
He is indeed a military henchman.
Healthy, strong, clean and respectable, this is what he should look like.
It was completely different from the scene in the video where she was naked, tortured, insulted, and crushed into the mud.
After the wrong-track train stumbled along a muddy road, it finally returned to the right track at a certain moment and gradually revealed its original dazzling brilliance.
That's how it should be.
Yael took a deep breath, and his depressed mood finally relaxed and he gradually cheered up.
"What are you doing?"
He asked, even though he had already guessed it, he still asked symbolically.
"Help 015 simplify some of its programs. This version of the smart butler was eliminated because many of its programs were too cumbersome. A moderate modification can make it run more easily."
Xi Ze is very familiar with machinery and modifications. After all, she is a military girl who has been dealing with mechas and advanced weapons for many years.
"I have passed most of the mechanical certificates, all at the highest level."
Xi Ze coughed, as if he was a little embarrassed for boasting. "So don't worry about 015 being damaged. A proper modification can extend its life by at least twenty years."
Yael stared at the harmonious scene in front of him in a trance. After a while, he raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a smile, "It's amazing."
Sensing that something was wrong with the male insect's mood, Caesar turned his head slightly.
But there was only a large block of warm yellow color in the field of vision, and the figure of the male insect was like a vague gray shadow, appearing inexplicably depressed and lonely.
He grabbed the wheel of the wheelchair with his palms, rolled forward a few times to get closer to the male insect, and whispered, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's OK."
Yael didn't want to talk about it any more, his eyelashes drooped slightly, "Nothing happened, don't worry."
"Really..."
Noticing the male insect's concealment and perfunctoriness, Caesar pursed his lips, but couldn't ask any further questions, and tightened his hands on his knees.
Yael raised his eyes again, looked at the female insect in front of him and smiled, "Can I hold it for a while?"
Without waiting for Caesar's answer, he bent down, opened his arms, and held the female insect in his arms.
The warm body filled every corner of his arms, as if he was completely buried in the belly of a plush snow leopard, soft and warm. Yael sighed with some contentment.
"My Lord, what's wrong...?"
Xi Ze's voice was very soft, and his fingertips twitched for a moment, then hesitantly touched the male insect's thin back and patted it lightly. After hesitating for a long time, he restrainedly tightened his arms and hugged him back.
"Nothing serious, just some dirt, but I've cleaned it up."
A gentle voice came from the side of my ear, with a soft, long tail like a coquettish tone.
"I'm a little tired... so I'll hold you for a minute."
"……good."
The air gradually calmed down, the afternoon glow gradually faded, and lightly dyed the rolling clouds.
The fine snow drifted down from the sky, reflecting some golden light, like falling twinkling stars.
The embracing shadows originally reflected their own clear outlines, but they were gradually melted and overlapped by the offset sunlight, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
After a while, 015 suddenly poked his head out and blinked his eyes.
"Have you finished hugging? Which line should you connect next?"
The author has something to say:
Good, good, today Yeye's boyfriend power is upupup!
The general is still the same battle-wounded male mother as always (6 saliva)
015 is still a silly little cutie
The core of redemption and healing will never fall!!
Ramblings: Yeye never said he was a good person, the author likes to take revenge on the spot (not a good person +1)
