Chapter 32 Temptation
◎This is a different price◎
The interrogation in the video continues.
"Do you know what this necklace is?"
"……have no idea."
The familiar blue light flashed again, and Yu Xiaoqing's haggard face turned even paler. Her eyes bulged like a dying fish. This time, Yu Xiaoqing finally surrendered before she could say anything: "I know, I know, I know..."
The blue light disappeared.
Yu Xiaoqing's mental defenses completely collapsed.
"How do you know?"
"That necklace suddenly started moving one day. I wanted to find the person who was responsible, but... she disappeared from my recent contacts list. Even my past chats were cleared. I felt uneasy, so I found a professional instrument to examine the necklace, and then... I saw the bug through the instrument."
"Do you know what kind of bug that is?"
"I don't..." Yu Xiaoqing lied habitually.
Blue light flashes.
"I know!"
"You know?" the interrogator repeated, but this time, although he still tried to keep his tone steady, there was a hint of anger in his voice.
But Yu Xiaoqing was afraid of the blue light at this time and did not notice that the interrogator's tone was wrong. When he heard the other party asking this question, he blurted out everything, fearing that if he answered slowly, the blue light would flash again.
"That's a bug! I'd be scared too, so I looked it up, and then, I found out."
"Now that you know, why don't you report the situation to Star Alliance Security?"
"Because... I'm afraid of being held accountable."
"Then why not just destroy it on its own?"
Yu Xiaoqing's face paled even further, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Whether it was from the pain or the nervousness, her lips moved several times before she finally uttered a word. "I've thought about it, I really have... But if I lose it, I'll lose everything I have now. I can't, and I can't afford it."
After experiencing the pleasure of having outstanding men surrender to her and obey her in everything, she no longer wants to become an ordinary woman who would be dumped by men.
"Just because of this?" Just because of this ridiculous excuse, the safety of the entire Sigma planet, and even the entire Interstellar Alliance, could be disregarded? The interrogator's tone finally lost its calmness and was filled with disbelief and anger.
"You don't understand! It's sealed in the necklace, so it can't grow. It'll be fine! Besides, it's just an egg. As long as I keep an eye on it, it won't harm anyone!"
"Enough!!!" The interrogators never expected that Yu Xiaoqing could still say such stupid words at this time.
He had seen many selfish people, but the only one who was so selfish and still thought he was not wrong was Yu Xiaoqing.
Yu Xiaoqing was stunned by the interrogator's sudden outburst of anger. Then, as if realizing something, she suddenly shouted angrily, "Qin Shu, it's all Qin Shu's fault! Well, you're deliberately torturing me just to help her get revenge! I just mentioned such a small matter, why did the Star Alliance fleet dispatch? I see, I see! You were pretending to be businesslike just now, but now you're exposed, right?"
"..." Qin Shu really didn't expect that even though she was so far away from him, she would still be caught in the crossfire. Why didn't she realize that Yu Xiaoqing's train of thought was so strange before?
But come to think of it, Yu Xiaoqing had always harbored strong malice towards her, the only survivor of the accident, saying that if their family had not insisted on traveling, her father would not have died, so their family were murderers.
After hearing it so many times, even Yu Xiaoqing herself began to believe it, completely forgetting that her father was not qualified at all to be their family driver, and that it was Aunt Xu's desperate pleading that got him the job.
Relying on her status as a "victim", at Qin Yue's instruction, she wrapped the bullying in a cloak of "reasonableness" and kept finding ways to unite other students to bully her, causing a lot of trouble to Qin Shu at the time, although she didn't get any advantage from Qin Shu in the end.
So, on a rainy day, Qin Shu discovered that the stray cat that she had fed and was close to her on campus was missing, until - she found its body in the desk.
By that time, its body had become stiff, and its beautiful orange-white fur was covered in blood. Its furry head, which she often stroked, was also smashed into a bloody mess by a heavy object.
That day, she found Yu Xiaoqing with a stone in her hand. If her deskmate at the time had not stopped her, Yu Xiaoqing would not have just had her head split open.
Since then, Yu Xiaoqing transferred to another school, and those who wanted to bully her did not dare to provoke her again. After all, she was really mad at that time and beat Yu Xiaoqing to death.
She was also severely warned by the school.
"Qin Shu?"
"Hmm?" Qin Shu only came back to her senses when she heard Xu Wen's call. She looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Are you okay? I saw you were suddenly in a daze."
"fine."
"Well, that's good. I was just saying that the Star Alliance has begun a thorough investigation into the person who mailed the Zerg necklace. However, they are very cunning and have completely erased all traces of the Zerg on the Starnet. Their methods are very sophisticated, making it impossible to recover or track this information in a short period of time. The same goes for the courier. No relevant information has been found, and we strongly suspect that Yu Xiaoqing was just one of the recipients of the Zerg eggs."
"You mean—someone else received eggs?"
"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Qin Shu couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "And now we have no idea who received the eggs, nor do we know how many eggs have flowed into the Interstellar Federation?"
"Yes, the situation is very serious right now. Even as we speak, some of the eggs may have evolved into adults and even begun to reproduce. You have to know that the reproduction speed of the Arachi insects is terrifying. By the time we notice it, it will be too late."
It takes time to follow up on the various clues, and what they lack most right now is time, because the situation may become uncontrollable at any moment.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"Yes, I just received a call from the Federal Parliament. I need your help in recruiting a Heroic Spirit who can help us locate the Zerg."
Qin Shu also knew that the situation was urgent, so she nodded and immediately connected to her [Heroic Recruitment] system. In order to avoid the situation where Xiaomei accepted the wrong commission like last time, she also reserved two vacancies.
only--
When Qin Shu saw who had accepted her recruitment commission, her expression instantly became subtle.
"What's wrong?" Xu Wen had never seen Qin Shu show such an expression before, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"This heroic spirit..." Qin Shu seemed to be searching for a suitable adjective, and finally sighed in giving up, "Forget it, you can see for yourselves."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared beside Qin Shu.
Her long, beautiful red curly hair just covered her naked upper body, making her fair skin look more translucent and radiant. Her beautiful eyes, as green as emerald, were full of charm at a glance.
She placed her hands on Qin Shu's shoulders as if they were boneless, opened her red lips slightly, and whispered in Qin Shu's ear, "Boss."
It was just two words, but they made my bones go numb.
"..." Qin Shu didn't say anything, but just calmly looked at the woman's lower body. What was there were not human legs, but a beautiful fish tail with green scales.
Obviously, their business car was spacious enough, but her long fish tail could not stretch out and could only be folded together, which looked very aggrieved.
Zhou Yin, who was driving in the front seat, was so shocked that she gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. Fortunately, she had a strong mental state and managed to drive the car very steadily.
Xu Wen took the initiative to look away, then took off his suit jacket and handed it to Qin Shu.
Qin Shu didn't say much. She spread out the clothes neatly and then put them on the mermaid's shoulders.
After doing all this, she introduced her to Xu Wen and the others: "Siren, Lorelai."
Lorelai smiled broadly. "Hello."
The voice is sweet and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Xu Wen had a very good mental state. He was stunned for only half a second after hearing this, and then nodded calmly: "Hello, Miss Lorelai, is there anything you need our cooperation with?"
"Well, I need you to spread my singing to every area you want to inspect. Don't leave out even a single corner. I promise that no matter if it's a human who has obtained an unknown necklace or an alien insect that has already taken control of humans, as long as they hear my singing, they will come to me regardless of everything."
Instead of going through the trouble of looking for the Zerg, it would be better if they came to you.
"...Okay." Although the method seemed a little different from what they imagined, Xu Wen had no objection to it.
Qin Shu had no objection to this solution, she only had one request -
"Can you find a place for her to live away from my house?"
She didn't want her new home to be visited by these alien insects.
"Of course, Miss Lorelai, do you have any requirements for where you want to live?"
"Just a big enough pool will do." Although Lorelai looked very coquettish, her request was very simple.
But after she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Qin Shu eagerly, with a look of expectation and hope, but also a bit of blame, blaming Qin Shu for not understanding romance.
"...Is there anything else?" Even if Qin Shu was slow-witted, she understood that Lorelai had something to say.
"Boss, Xiaomei mentioned this in the Banshee group yesterday. She said that if you can accomplish something beyond your ability, there will be a bonus, right?"
"Hmm?" How come she didn't know she had said that?
"You see, before, I could only deceive human sailors, but now, for you, I even kill bugs. So, can you give me a bonus too?" Lorelai said, her big tail still swinging, her eyes full of hope.
Qin Shu was silent for a long while after seeing this, and then she finally found her voice: "Do you banshees have a group?"
The focus is completely off track.
"Yes, yes. If you like, boss, when your achievement points are high enough to open the chat module, I will add you to our group."
Okay, Qin Shu now knows what functions are contained in those gray modules that she has not unlocked yet.
