Chapter 48
“Shua——”
Yael turned on the faucet, and the cool water flowed through his fingers. He then splashed it on his face to drive away the remaining sleepiness.
He wiped the water off his face and looked at his face clearly reflected in the bright mirror.
Something seemed to be stirring among the messy hair, and with a slight tingling sensation, he rubbed his bangs on it doubtfully——
The white forehead suddenly cracked into a tiny crack, and two black tentacles suddenly stretched out!
“?!”
Yael's pupils shrank, and he almost wondered if he was hallucinating due to lack of sleep.
Suddenly, the two tentacles seemed to move, swaying left and right as if they had their own consciousness, which frightened Yael so much that he took a step back and bumped into the iron shelf next to him where the shower gel was placed.
"Clang--crack!"
A series of loud noises rang out in the bathroom, followed by a rapid knock on the door.
Xi Ze's voice was serious and urgent. "My Lord? What's wrong?"
Maybe it was because Yer didn't reply for too long and 015 couldn't find the key, Caesar couldn't wait any longer, he just chopped off the bathroom door handle with a knife, pushed the door open and strode in.
The male insect stood there stupidly in the mess, and didn't look like it had fallen or been hit, but there was no guarantee that it didn't have other injuries.
Xi Ze took a step forward, took Yael's hand and turned him around.
"Are you injured?"
Yael, whose shoulders were held, was still a little dazed. He stared blankly at the female insect in front of him. The tentacles in his hair had shrunk back in fear from the loud noise just now.
It was not until it saw Xi Ze and felt the familiar and safe breath that the tentacles poked their heads out again, like two delicate stamens, shaking their heads among the scattered hair.
Xize was also stunned, his eyes fixed on the two tentacles, "Master? You suddenly released the tentacles?"
"I have no idea……"
Yael said slowly, looking a little flustered, his voice trembling slightly, "What is this?"
Xi Ze paused, his expression became a little strange for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "This is... Wait, come out first."
He pulled and hugged Yael out of the mess, let 015 in to clean up, and then pressed the male insect on the sofa with a serious expression.
"This is actually no big deal. Every insect has this problem. But it's only sometimes out of control... It's very simple. Connect your mental power to these two tentacles and you can easily control it."
Yael's breathing was rapid, and he could hardly slow down the pounding heart in his chest. He clenched his teeth tightly, and could hardly suppress the panic and resistance that was overflowing.
But the female insect's patient and gentle guidance brought him back to his senses. He subconsciously followed the steps and managed to retract the restless tentacles.
"It's okay, I have this too."
Xi Ze held down the male insect's clenched fist. The uncontrollable trembling made his heart a little sad. He took Yael's hand and touched his forehead.
Two silver tentacles emerged from the extremely tiny gap, emitting a sharp luster.
They hung quietly, not moving around like Yael's, and were obviously well-trained.
But that area is also very sensitive. When Yael touches it lightly, the two tentacles will quickly retract a little, then slowly extend out again, or even touch the fingertips obediently.
“…”
Yael stared at it for a while, his mind going blank.
He knew that this day would eventually come, or rather, this sleeping body would gradually wake up as he gradually integrated into the insect society and become more like an insect than a "person".
He had been resisting, but when the shock and helplessness faded away, he saw a female insect half-kneeling in front of him, with a worried and anxious expression. In order to ease his fear, it even took the initiative to extend its tentacles to let him play with it.
"…I'm fine."
Yael blinked his sour eyes and did not touch the extremely sensitive tentacles of the female insect. Instead, he leaned over and hugged him, "I'm sorry, I scared you just now."
He didn't have the energy to come up with lame excuses to cover up why he didn't know the tentacles that all the cubs were familiar with, so he was particularly grateful for Xi Ze's tolerance and silence.
"Fortunately, the shelf fell down just now. Is the Lord injured?"
Caesar patted Yael's back lightly, and only heaved a sigh of relief after getting a negative answer, releasing some pheromones to soothe the male insect in his arms.
"No, I'm fine."
Yael murmured.
*
The feeling of suddenly growing tentacles is very... magical.
This thing is like the end of mental power, or in other words, it is the main control point for driving mental power. Using this can control mental power more delicately, and even expand the perception range to an extremely long distance.
The humid mist in the early morning, the aroma of fried eggs coming from a door away, the squeaking sound of ice chips being stepped on outside, and the fluttering of birds in the distant sky...
It's all clearly presented in my mind.
Yael had never been more aware than at this moment of the difference between the Zerg and his original body.
They have humanoid forms, but are alien creatures that can transform into giant insects with flapping wings at any time. If used in the original world, he and Cize are still typical aliens.
Yael sighed, looking somewhat bewildered and frustrated.
Forget it, it's grown, what can I do about it.
Before he could retract the perception he had released, his sensitive tentacles captured the breath of another life form—
Familiar, powerful, vibrant, with an extremely strong presence that dominates all attention.
The two thin soft tentacles trembled, sensing this "outsider" from all angles, and the attached mental power stuck to it.
They smelled the scent of orange blossom in the female insect's hair, the faint bitter scent lingering around them, and the smell of soft and warm muscles when they were a little sweaty, with a hint of clean sensuality.
Smells good, like it.
They say so, completely disregarding the subject's painstaking restraint.
Ah, I was discovered.
They saw a pair of bright and beautiful golden eyes, which showed a sense of helplessness, yet also seemed extremely doting and indulgent.
The spiritual power that was pulled up was immersed in the breath of the female insect, just like being bathed in spring breeze. It completely ignored the wishes of the subject, and entangled stickily between the fingers of that hand, refusing to leave no matter what.
It's so itchy... Uh-huh, I like it... Give me some more... Touch it from head to tail, hehehehe... Uh-huh...
A useless fence-sitter.
Inside the door on the other side of the wall, Yael covered his face and forcibly severed the connection with the spiritual power.
The tips of his ears felt hot, and he washed his face with cold water several times before he managed to suppress the strange itching.
But this thing doesn't feel... so bad?
At least he was feeling much calmer now than he had initially imagined, but that was mostly due to Xi Ze's presence.
Truly integrating into this society doesn't seem to be such a scary thing anymore.
…
Yael quickly found the correct way to use the tentacles on the Star Network.
In addition to being the terminal of mind control, this thing is also a channel for deep mental connection with female insects. The two sides can share moods and senses to a certain extent through tentacles touching each other.
It seems a bit fun.
Yael flipped through the description of the mental link and suddenly became interested when he remembered the cold silver tentacles on Caesar's forehead.
"Let's try a mind link, shall we?"
The male insect in front of him had bright eyes, and was obviously very interested in this proposal.
Xi Ze's Adam's apple moved for a moment, but he still couldn't say no. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay."
The white plush carpet on the floor had been stained by various liquids, washed again and again, and became soft and fluffy after drying. It was a soft nest that could accommodate a snow leopard sleeping soundly on it.
But when Xi Ze saw it, he couldn't help but think of the things splashed on it, and his ears started to burn.
015 was locked in the room without knowing what was happening. Occasionally, he heard clanging sounds while cleaning. He had no idea what the bugs in the living room were doing, but these sounds only added to the tension and weirdness.
"This spiritual counseling should be a little different from the last time. I'm not sure what it will be like, but if you feel very uncomfortable, tell me and don't force yourself to endure it. Got it?"
After receiving a positive answer, Yael curled his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, raised his chin to signal the female insect, "So, shall we start?"
Having just agreed to take a closer look at the antennae, he stared closely at the female insect's forehead, tapping it lightly with his hands on his knees.
A strand of hair seemed to tremble, and then a thin silver tentacle stretched out from it. It seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and drooped down in a semicircle in a somewhat restrained manner.
The shock he felt when he first saw it had dissipated a lot, and he still couldn't quite accept it. But when the tentacle grew on Caesar's forehead, he thought it was particularly cute.
Really... cute.
Yael leaned over, reached out and gently touched the corner, and felt a soft and cool touch on his fingertips.
The two little silver things shuddered helplessly, and curled up like mimosa. After being poked, they shrank even tighter, carefully hiding themselves among the hair of the same color.
He knew how sensitive the tentacles were, so there was no rush to deal with them and Yael left them alone for the time being.
The next second, caramel-flavored pheromones spread, like a can of syrup overturned, flowing everywhere recklessly.
Even though she had been caressed many times and had been immersed in this scent for a long time, the female insect still groaned the moment she smelled it, and her body trembled uncontrollably for a moment.
Xize's breathing became increasingly rapid, and the tips of his ears gradually turned slightly red. When they were touched by fingertips, a warm blush appeared.
"Is it hot?" Yer held his cheek and poked the female insect's rolling Adam's apple, which caused a shudder.
雌蟲呼吸急促，那雙散落着碎金的眸光渙散開，意識不清地用臉輕蹭耶爾的膝蓋，聲音已經有些沙啞和哽咽，于低沉中帶着一點黏糊的鼻音。
但耶爾卻将膝蓋別開了，語氣溫和卻不容置喙，“別動，跪好。”
“……對不起。”西澤喉結劇烈滾動了一下，強行忍耐着保持原來的跪姿。
只是呼吸越來越急促，忍不住捕捉空氣中信息素的味道，還偷偷将翹起來的尾巴往雄蟲腳邊蹭。
但雄蟲并不為所動，甚至不願意伸手稍微安撫一下，這些聊以自.慰的舉動便不過杯水車薪，只能讓雌蟲更加焦灼且難熬。
他身上的信息素随之溢散開，像是泡開泡漲的茶葉一樣苦澀又香醇的氣息，咕嚕咕嚕地沸騰起來，在嗅聞到的瞬間舌尖就泛起了一絲奇異的甘甜。
“這就受不了了？還以為你能忍耐久一些？”
耶爾眉梢微挑，顯然有些意外，他屈起手指擡起雌蟲的下巴，食指順勢卡入他的尖牙裏，防止慌亂間傷到自己。
“……嗯。”
西澤呼吸愈發急促，眼尾泛着濕漉漉的紅，被按住牙的陌生經歷讓他有些僵硬，還有幾乎溢出來的不知所措、
“乖小狗。”
耶爾垂眸，輕笑一聲道。
西澤呼吸一窒，渾身顫抖了一下，濕漉漉的眸子裏流露出些許畏懼和依戀，好半晌，才輕不可聞地嗯了一聲。
“為什麽蹭我？這麽癢嗎？”
耶爾懲罰似的輕踩住它，慢慢用力來回碾磨，察覺到一絲不同尋常的威脅，那條雪白毛發的尾巴顯然有些害怕，生怕斷了似的閃躲瑟縮着。
“剛才說了別動了，西澤在軍中的時候，也是這麽不聽從長官命令的刺頭嗎？”
雄蟲不帶什麽惡意地輕嘲道，眸底興味深深，緊盯着雌蟲的神情，不想放過一絲有趣的變化。
“不。不是這樣的……嗯雄主……”
西澤上面被手指頂着，下面被毫不客氣地踩着，脊背瞬間被熱汗浸濕，蜷縮的腳趾無措地顫抖着，抓緊地毯上的雪白絨毛。
這時015似乎捕捉到什麽動靜，敲着門詢問道，“外面什麽聲音？你們怎麽了嗎？”
突然響起的聲音顯然吓到了雌蟲，手心下的身體頓時緊繃，似乎生怕015破門而出然後看到自己的窘境。
他頓時忘記了是誰把他弄得這麽慘，往耶爾的懷裏縮去，但尾巴上踩着的力道卻突然加大，絲毫不憐憫那些狼狽和眼淚，像是一個無比冷酷的劊子手。
明明戰場上受了多麽嚴重的傷，雌蟲也從沒有喊過一聲痛，淪落黑市被毒打折磨時，也從沒有出聲求過一句饒。
但在面對耶爾時，他卻很容易心生委屈，然後被步步緊逼到啞聲抽噎，每次都要被抱在懷裏很久才能平複下來。
耶爾見他叫得這麽慘，便脫了鞋光腳踩上那條尾巴，放輕了來回的動作。
那只腳白皙柔軟，沒有什麽繭子，是嬌生溫養出來的一方白玉，不像軍雌是在戰場裏磋磨出的厚重粗粝，細嫩到幾乎讓西澤害怕自己會硌到它。
他全身上下已經濕.透了，鉑金色的眼眸被水洗過般濕潤幹淨，半阖着眼壓抑急促的喘息。
“怎麽哭了？”耶爾抽出手指，俯低了身體，用頭抵着西澤的額頭，“別怕，門已經反鎖了，015出不來的。”
他輕輕吻去西澤臉上的淚痕，潮濕鹹澀的味道在舌尖化開。
西澤屏着呼吸感受耶爾噴灑的灼熱呼吸，因為臉上的柔軟觸感而心神劇顫。
但那吻只是蜻蜓點水，吝啬地停留了一瞬就離開。
“……可以親一下這裏嗎。”
他濕紅着眼睛啞聲請求，“就一下。”
耶爾便又低頭，在他唇上落下一個吻。
西澤便餍足地閉上眼睛，不再要求更多，溫順地在雄蟲的手心裏敞開自己，溺斃在一波波洶湧澎拜的精神力沖擊中。
他覺得自己好像一只氣球，被貪玩的小孩抓在手裏，一會兒揉圓一會兒搓扁。
體內的熱意酸脹不斷積累，随時都要爆發，最終在一記強力擠壓之下，晃晃悠悠爆開。
汗水落入眼睛裏，帶來一陣潮.濕的酸澀。
西澤沒有在意這個，只是聲音低啞道，“雄主，還不能動嗎？”
這次全程少了和雄蟲的觸碰，總感覺有點憋悶，少了極重要的一環似的很不舒服，要和雄蟲黏黏糊糊地緊貼在一起親一會才能好。
“乖，還不行，再等等。”
耶爾輕聲哄他，卻仍然沒有解除禁令，反而繼續釋放出了精神力。
雌蟲的精神力本源感受到召喚，被輕而易舉地勾了出來，明明和雌蟲一樣強大無比，卻團成小團黏糊緊貼在耶爾腳邊。
同時，耶爾感覺到額頭有些微妙的發癢，難以言喻的感覺席卷了他的感官。
看着西澤發間繃緊又放松，甚至有些細微痙攣的細軟觸角，他喉結微動。
想……
耶爾伸手撫上雌蟲頸側，沿着滾動的喉結往上，将他的臉擡起來，“擡起頭，乖……”
西澤臉上都是潮濕的淚痕，鋒利冷淡的眉眼軟和得不成樣子，仍在急促喘息着，乖乖由着耶爾擺弄。
“別動。”
耶爾低下頭和他額頭相觸，那兩根觸角剛好對上他有些麻癢的地方。
他們臉對着臉，所有神情變換都逃不過對方的眼睛，所以耶爾能清晰看見西澤眼中一閃而過的驚惶。
耶爾眯了眯眼，讓那股奇異的觸感慢慢突破皮膚——然後對接上了西澤顫抖着的觸角。
“赫赫……嗯啊……不……”
他看起來幾乎要窒息了，喉結上下艱澀滑動，好半晌才從喉嚨裏擠出不成型的字音。
耶爾用力将他的掙紮按壓下來，捧着他的臉阖上眼睛，感受着暖流在身體裏沖刷的極致舒适感，像是靈魂都得到了洗滌。
又因為精神鏈接有共享感官的功能，他能清晰地感覺到雌蟲也是舒服的。
而且因為特殊的反饋系統，程度相比他可能更強烈千倍。
啊，雌蟲被刺激到有點翻白眼了。
耶爾遺憾地斷開精神鏈接，有些意猶未盡地舔了舔唇，順手扶住西澤滑落的身體。
他屈起手指蹭過雌蟲的眼尾，将上面的濕潤水光擦去，像是一個小小的安撫。
“雄主……”
西澤被欺負得神色空茫，在雄蟲張開懷抱後卻還是第一時間靠了過去，額頭緊緊抵着耶爾的膝蓋，難以平複淩亂的呼吸。
說實話，真的很像耶爾養過的小狗勾被摸舒服之後，渾身癱軟哼唧撒嬌的樣子，特別有趣又可愛。
耶爾輕笑了一聲，心尖莫名發軟。
又想起剛才雌蟲一閃而過的驚惶，他不動聲色地試探道，“怕什麽，會覺得很痛嗎？”
“不痛……很舒服……”
西澤喃喃道。
他微阖着眼，将臉埋在雄蟲的懷裏，隔着一層襯衣抱住那瘦削的腰，近乎貪戀地汲取耶爾的體溫。
“那就好。”
觸角的反饋也是喜歡和舒服的，耶爾決定不去追問，輕拍着懷裏雌蟲的背等他慢慢平複下來。
“啵啵。”耶爾低頭親了一下他顫抖的眼睫，“不哭了。”
西澤紅着眼啞聲應道，“……好。”
精神鏈接能持續很長一段時間，但感受程度沒有直接相觸那麽激烈。
像是兩條尾巴糾纏勾連着，朦朦胧胧可以感知到對方的心情和狀态。
感受了一下鏈接的末端，那裏正源源不斷傳來黏糊糊的心情，又甜又軟，耶爾心情很好地回了房間，繼續和阿德萊德交流項目。
015則哼哧哼哧地将弄髒的地毯搬去洗。
西澤将小臂橫在臉上，呼吸還有些不穩，躺在沙發上平複身體裏退去的情.潮。
但很快，光腦傳來微不可聞的嘀嘀聲響。
他臉上的神情淡下去，伸手将光腦拿起來。
【白朗：局勢已經基本明朗了，皇室那邊的情況也穩定下來了，需要您定下一個具體起兵的時間。】
還沒等西澤回複，那邊又猶豫着發來一條消息。
【白朗：您……雄蟲閣下知道您的身份了嗎？這次行動需要提前告知嗎？還是特派出一批隊伍貼身保護雄蟲的安全？】
西澤怔了一下，下意識收緊了手指。
他曾經想過這個問題……但意外解除了雌奴頸環，和雄蟲的關系也發生了轉變，這幾天過得實在有點沖昏頭腦，讓他一時間完全沒想起來這件事。
要告訴雄蟲嗎？
西澤看着光腦出神半晌，難得陷入了瞻前顧後的猶豫。
他還沒準備好要怎麽告訴雄蟲，關于他曾經的身份，還有随之牽扯出來的那些複雜又雜亂的事。
這次起兵他的把握還挺大的，安托那邊想必已經收到了風聲，但是不足為慮，還有皇室和貴族那邊……但真正讓西澤顧慮的并不是這些。
之前雄蟲毫不猶豫地拒絕了他的提議——
【不要，你想報複誰盡管去，那是你的自由，我不阻攔你，但是我就待在這裏，哪也不去。】
Now that I think about it, the male insect's attitude is a little abnormal. It may be because of something that happened before.
After returning to the main planet, we have to find a way to go to the Male Insect Protection Association to get Yael's information.
To be on the safe side, let's keep it a secret from Yael for now.
After making the decision, Caesar and Bai Lang decided on the exact time and discussed tactics for a while.
But in the gap between thinking about tactics, a strange idea suddenly emerged and kept growing like a vine.
Could the huge difference between Yael and other male insects, and his reluctance to return to the main planet, be related to the strange words in the notebook?
Or is it that these three have no direct connection, but are intricately linked to the deepest essence behind them?
And if there really is a hidden truth——
What is the secret of male insects?
