Chapter 41 Differentiation Period
In the police car.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'm safe... I'm not hurt."
"I'm not feeling unwell...really! If you don't believe me, I'll come back and check it out for you."
"Brother, are you hurt? I'm glad you're not hurt... Where am I now? Uh..."
Duan Ke held the phone in one hand and glanced guiltily at Ji Qing who was sitting opposite him.
Ji Qing raised his eyebrows, indicating that he should not mention the affairs of the Administration to humans.
Duan Ke could only lie guiltily, saying in a low voice, "I'm getting ready to go home now."
"Brother, are you home yet? Is there anything else you need to do? Sure, I'll wait for you at home..."
Qin Huai gave Duan Ke a few more instructions, telling him not to run around and that he would be home soon.
Only after Duan Kequan agreed did Qin Huai finally feel relieved and hung up the phone.
"Your brother cares about you so much." Ji Qing joked, making Duan Ke so amused that he didn't know where to put his hands.
"Don't worry, it's just a formality. You didn't do anything serious, and you hurt me by accident."
"But I have to go." Ji Qing helplessly spread his hands, "You should also know that the judge in charge is very strict with you. If I don't arrest you, he will revoke my license."
After hearing this, Duan Ke didn't feel comforted at all, and his expression, which had been bad since he got on the car, became even uglier.
He swallowed, glanced at Ji Qing cautiously, and asked, "Um... is he in the Administration now? If it's just a formality, can we not have him involved..."
Ji Qing laughed and teased him: "Are you afraid of him?"
Duan Ke nodded frantically.
This is so much fun.
Qin Huai has been lurking for so long, it's not that he has never appeared in front of Duan Ke. It is very likely that he disguised himself as Duan Ke's neighbor or teacher.
This little succubus is so afraid of Qin Huai. If one day she finds out that an acquaintance around her is the Inquisitor himself, won’t she be scared to death?
Of course, despite his bad intentions, Ji Qing would definitely not tell Duan Ke, otherwise it would be a major work mistake.
The police car soon stopped at the door of the administration bureau, and Ji Qing took Duan Ke inside.
He walked in front of Duan Ke, but he could clearly sense that something was wrong with him. He was unusually nervous, looked very uncomfortable, and kept his head down.
Ji Qing frowned and stopped, looking at Duan Ke's golden brown hair, and asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Duan Ke is of course in a bad state.
His lips were turning pale, and before he could say anything, a soldier came hurriedly over, "Captain Ji!"
The soldier secretly pointed in the direction of General Lin's office and winked.
Ji Qing wondered why Lin Jiangli came over so late at night after getting off work.
Thinking that it might be an urgent matter, he whispered to Duan Ke, "Wait for me in the hall first."
Duan Ke nodded obediently and walked to the waiting bench in the hall and sat down.
The magic pattern that had been causing a dull pain since a while ago started to bother him again. Duan Ke bent down slightly, holding his stomach, and broke out in a cold sweat.
...I'm so hungry.
It has been a long time since I felt this empty. The monster just now sucked a lot of his magic power, and almost ate up all the magic power Qin Huai fed him in the past few days.
Duan Ke really wanted to call Qin Huai, but Qin Huai had just said on the phone that he had some urgent matters to deal with and would have to come to see him later, so he had to give up.
Duan Ke looked around. Coming to this place again after so many years, he still felt a lingering fear.
Over the years, the decor of the administration has not changed much.
When he saw the door, he could still vaguely remember the tall figure of the Inquisitor standing there firing, as well as the lingering smell of blood on him.
It's extremely inhumane.
Duan might understand that the Administration dealt with monsters appropriately, but he couldn't understand why they killed so many at once. Surely all monsters couldn't be bad guys?
The judge must be evil-minded, so he sees everything as bad!
I hope I never meet this horrible person again.
Duan Ke sat there obediently, his hands on his knees, subconsciously maintaining the sitting posture that Qin Huai had reminded him twice.
The boy with exquisite appearance was so eye-catching that the soldiers and clerks passing by could not help but slow down their pace in front of him, curious about who this monster in a beautiful dress was waiting for.
After a few minutes, another group of people appeared at the door.
A group of soldiers stood in formation, their guns drawn, surrounding a tall man with a sour face and the air of a rich young master, his hands folded in extreme impatience.
The man seemed to sense something and looked towards Duan Ke. Duan Ke and the man looked at each other and were both stunned.
"...Brother Hele?" Duan Ke asked in surprise, "How did you get arrested too?"
-
Ji Qing walked into Lin Jiangli's office and found Lin Jiangli leaning on the office chair with his hand on his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
Lin Jiangli raised his hand and signaled Ji Qing to close the door.
As soon as the door closed, Lin Jiangli asked anxiously, "Why did you capture Duan Ke? He hasn't done anything wrong. How could you capture the wrong person on a mission?"
"...He broke two of my ribs with one punch, does that count as a crime?"
After Ji Qing finished speaking, Lin Jiangli and he stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.
Lin Jiangli apologized angrily and asked Duan Ke why he hit someone for no reason.
"He wasn't careful either. I just went through the formalities and let him go."
Ji Qing grabbed the chair next to Lin Jiangli and sat down. "What's wrong? Did he use his charm on you? Why are you so protective of him? You didn't get so anxious when you caught the wrong person before."
I feel a chill in my heart when I mention Lin Jiangli.
He held his forehead and said weakly, "He didn't use it on me, but he probably used it on Qin Huai."
"He's Qin Huai's boyfriend now." Lin Jiangli emphasized the word "boyfriend" very strongly. "You captured our leader's wife."
"...What friends???" Ji Qing's voice was broken.
"……Boy friend."
"Male what?"
“…”
"Accept the reality, Captain Ji." Lin Jiangli patted his shoulder with a look of pity. "I think we'll see you at the exam hall again in a few days."
Ji Qing's brain was numb and he could hardly hear what Lin Jiangli was saying.
He belatedly recalled that earlier in the teaching building, Qin Huai had suspected him of having an affair with Xu Jue. What had he said to refute it?
...This thought reminds me of purple clay tea.
"You said..." Ji Qing choked for a long time, his voice extremely hoarse, "Is it possible that Qin Huai pretended to be Duan Ke's boyfriend just to get close to him, without actually having any real feelings for him..."
"Not likely." Lin Jiangli said regretfully, "I saw him with my own eyes, pulling Duan Ke and kissing her fiercely in the pitch-black darkness of the haunted house. Would you, as an undercover agent, kiss your nemesis fiercely?"
...Oh my god.
Ji Qing was like being struck by lightning. He couldn't remember how he got out of Lin Jiangli's office. He just wanted to travel back a few days and shut his mouth.
Lin Jiangli said that Qin Huai was now in the treatment room next door. He didn't know what he was being treated for, but he couldn't come out for a while.
…I have to release his wife quickly before the boss knows about it. Otherwise, if Duan Ke complains, I’ll probably be retaliated against until I retire.
Ji Qing walked out of the office, only to see Duan Ke sitting with the infamous Western Dragon.
Ji Qing had very sharp hearing and could hear the conversation between the two from a distance.
"Why did you go to that haunted house, Brother Hele?"
"I went to play an NPC. I happened to pass by and saw a sign recruiting temporary workers. Before I knew it, I had already got my work badge. Who knew that there was a daring monster behind me who dared to bite me, so I breathed fire and burned down the haunted house."
"...You're trying so hard. Was it fun to play the NPC? Did it scare anyone?"
"It's just okay. This haunted house isn't very well built. The hole in the floor where you can reach out and grab people won't open. I've tried several times but it's always stuck... By the way, are you feeling unwell? Why are you gasping for air? Do you have a stomachache?"
"Oh, it's okay. Maybe I just have a fever... I feel dizzy."
Ji Qing was furious at the familiarity between the two. This kid had some connections, even to the point of being so close to this difficult upstart.
But Duan Ke is indeed very likable.
He picked up a brochure titled "Strive to be a law-abiding monster and create harmony between humans and monsters" from the desk and handed it to Duan Ke.
"You can go back now. Go back and read this book several times." Ji Qing said casually.
He looked at Helekla again and said, "You can't leave yet. You have to stay. What you did is much more serious than what he did."
Helekla didn't even express any objection.
He looked at Duan Ke's increasingly red face and the action of holding her stomach, frowning deeply, "Are you really okay? Do you want me to go to the hospital with you now?"
"...No need." Duan Ke secretly pinched the sweat on his palms and softened his voice, "I'll just go home and rest for a while...Don't worry."
He was actually very familiar with this situation...
Before the last severe estrus period, Duan Ke had this feeling of about to have a fever, and his whole body was hot and numb.
However, the estrus period is not so tight, and the second estrus is usually not more intense than the first.
What happened to me suddenly?
Duan Ke couldn't think too much.
He forced himself to say goodbye to the two and took a taxi home.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he tried to take out his key in a daze, but was nailed to the spot by an extremely fragrant smell.
When he came to his senses, he had already uncontrollably flown into Qin Huai's window and broke into the house.
Is my brother at home...otherwise why would it smell so good?
Duan Ke was extremely anxious and relied entirely on instinct to support his movements, but he couldn't find Qin Huai after searching the entire house.
He half collapsed on the sofa, gasping for breath, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.
Duan Ke was unconsciously fiddling with the buttons on his chest, but when his nose came close to the sofa fabric, he smelled the familiar scent that had been haunting him.
…
Duan Ke's pupils suddenly shrank.
Why did his sense of smell become so sharp...
No, I should say, why did he become so sensitive to Qin Huai's scent that he could even smell the scent left on the fabric?
No, that's totally wrong.
How can the body be so sensitive?
But Duan Ke no longer had any energy to think about why.
The smell belonging to Qinhuai, an extremely aggressive smell, completely awakened the secondary differentiation body of the ancestor succubus.
He was about to melt, about to... die. All because of a little lingering smell.
Duan Ke accidentally brushed against the leather of the sofa, and the cool, slippery touch made him flinch. He clutched his burning abdomen and suddenly screamed.
Just a very small stimulation made him burst into tears.
They seeped into the golden brown hair and slid down to the sofa fabric, turning that small area into an ambiguous dark color.
Duan Ke didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt like a switch in his body had been completely turned on.
The fangs itched and ached, eagerly craving for human blood, or something else that could fill the succubus's stomach.
Where is he?
Duan Ke stumbled up from Qin Huai's sofa.
The taste here is too light... He needs something stronger now, this is far from enough.
Duan Ke gritted his teeth. Following his sense of smell, he quickly opened Qin Huai's wardrobe, and the fragrant aroma immediately flooded out.
Under normal circumstances, the polite little succubus would never do such a bad thing.
But now he can no longer be considered a rational creature.
He is in a special period of intense emotion that he cannot resist with his reason. He needs the comfort of his owner and needs to go crazy in the dark to feel a little comfortable.
But the owner is not here now, so the owner's personal belongings will take the place of the irresponsible guy.
Duan Ke took out all of Qin Huai's clothes, regardless of style or part, including belts, ties, and even more private parts.
Qin Huai didn't have many clothes, and the styles were very basic and everyday. He formed a circle with these few pieces of fabric and built a nest for himself.
Duan Ke stumbled onto the bed and curled up in it.
The stinging on his skin eased a little, but he still felt unsafe. The owner was not here, and it was dangerous here. Someone else might intrude into their shared territory at any time.
Duan Ke hesitated for a moment, endured the sharp stinging and burning sensation on his skin, and left the nest with great difficulty.
He locked the door as quickly as possible and rushed back into his nest.
He tried to soothe himself by rubbing, but it was completely useless. After hesitating for a few seconds, Duan Ke wrapped his palm with a delicate, frosted fabric tie and moved it down tremblingly.
…
His movements were awkward and unskillful, totally incomparable to Qin Huai's.
Duan Ke started crying again.
The room was getting darker and hotter.
-
Qin Huai knew he was dreaming.
His eyesight was good and he had never had trouble seeing things, but now, his vision was like being covered by a layer of foggy glass, and his movements were uncontrolled, as if they were following some kind of program.
But Qin Huai was very calm.
He examined the dream in an objective way, with his consciousness residing in his own body, allowing himself in the dream to control this body.
"Brother! What are we eating today?"
This overly familiar voice made Qin Huai's breathing stagnate. He wanted to turn his head to look over immediately, but he couldn't.
His calm heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. He wanted to call Duan Ke's name, but he could only hear his own cold and calm response without any emotion.
"venison."
Qin Huai lowered his eyes and turned the skewers on the fire. "Do you want some?"
"No, this meat is not tasty!"
Xiaoqiu shook his head desperately, then chuckled and jumped onto Qin Huai's shoulder. "I want to eat you! Can I do it today?"
"...Minors shouldn't say such things, Duan Ke."
"Just say it! I don't know anything about adulthood. And you obviously love to hear it. You smell so good right now!"
Qin Huai was silent, watching the two people in his dream bickering meaninglessly, like a bystander.
Although his tone sounded harmless and like that of a machine, Qin Huai could still feel how relaxed he was at that time. He was acting like an ordinary human being for the first time in a long time, just like a person who had been trapped in a coffin for a long time and was breathing heavily.
"We can go out today."
Qin Huai gently played with Duan Ke's thin tail. "Then as long as the monster that killed you has been dealt with by me, my people can't find me, so there is no threat anymore."
"Do you want to leave?" Qin Huai held him in his palm.
"Yes!" The little ball acted coquettishly in his hands, "Brother, you want to go with me. I want to follow you forever. You promised to support me, right?"
…
The scenes switched so quickly that Qin Huai couldn't hear what he said. The fragments in between were cut up and incoherent.
The next moment, Qin Huai was standing at the edge of the forest. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at him and Duan Ke. Xiaoqiu curled up in his clothes, trembling.
The former senior officials of the administration and their subordinates surrounded them.
The dream demon that he had clearly killed was standing side by side with the former inquisitor who was the leader, smiling grimly.
"You should have chopped me into pieces when you killed me." He said hatefully, "Maybe I would have really died."
The former Inquisitor was very impatient: "Why are you still talking to him? Haven't you already absorbed the power of that succubus? Erase her memory immediately, or I'll kill you too."
Qin Huai had never been so grateful that he had concealed his full strength from the higher-ups as he was at that time.
The top management thought they had enough people, but they still greatly underestimated the machines they had trained.
The picture is disconnected here again.
The next moment, Qin Huai saw himself calmly and accurately piercing the dream demon's vitals with his hands covered in blood.
There was no gunfire nearby, and he couldn't see, but he guessed that they must have been killed, except for the former Inquisitor who did not participate in the battle.
Duan Ke was still safely in his coat pocket, seemingly unharmed. It seemed he had protected him well back then; he wasn't as cold and unkind as he seemed. He already loved him dearly.
This time, Qin Huai listened to the advice. He drew out his long sword and chopped the monster into powder quickly and efficiently.
But he really didn't expect that this was a monster with too strong vitality.
The moment the dream demon dismembered him, Qin Huai felt his vision go black. His usually clear mind was now blank, and he could see nothing.
…
Qin Huai lay in the medical cabin and slowly opened his eyes.
The doctor who was waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him wake up.
She eagerly asked Qin Huai a few questions, which could preliminarily confirm whether the patient's mental state was normal and whether his memory was impaired.
Qin Huai looked extremely bad, but he still cooperated and responded one by one, his tone so calm that there was almost no emotion.
"What time is it?" Qin Huai answered and asked as if he couldn't wait.
"Three o'clock in the morning," the doctor replied.
"Time is of the essence. Your body must be examined immediately. Sir, are you feeling your memory returning?"
"Yes." Qin Huai said as he stood up from the capsule-shaped treatment chamber. "Although it's just fragments, I remember a lot."
"That's good... I only had a few clones as magical materials, and it took less than an hour to analyze... The conditions were too extreme. I was really worried about permanent brain damage."
"The magic power of this clone is very strong, making it the most suitable material for restoring memories." Qin Huai said calmly, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "If we delay any longer, the magic power will dissipate. This is a last resort."
"That's what I said, but..."
The doctor's tone suddenly changed. "Sir, where are you going? You must undergo a physical examination later! This kind of memory implant is too easy to damage the brain! You can't leave!"
"I'm in a hurry to get home. Someone is waiting for me."
Qin Huai walked to the door without stopping. "Thank you, doctor. I will come for a follow-up check."
The very old doctor looked at the judge's back in great shock.
She had been a military doctor in the Administration for almost twenty years and had never seen an officer who did not value his life so much.
Doesn't he know how dangerous it is to use magic to forcibly implant memories?!
It's one thing for the judge to disobey the doctor's orders and take a risk, but now he's refusing to even conduct an examination?!
Faced with the choice between keeping her job and upholding her medical ethics, the doctor chose the latter without hesitation.
The doctor ran out after Qin Huai in a rage, and forced Qin Huai to undergo a full physical examination. He only let him go after confirming that there was no problem.
It was already five in the morning when it ended.
The sky was gradually getting brighter, and Qin Huai was driving on the road.
When he was not on a mission, he always drove very steadily, but now he was driving a little fast, which was unusual for him.
The fragmented memories from the dream just now were still replaying in my mind uncontrollably, and I felt so suffocated that I could hardly breathe.
Qin Huai knew that he was not in a good condition. He turned the steering wheel lightly and drove towards the deserted road, rushing towards the apartment as fast as possible.
...I want to see Duan Ke as soon as possible and don’t want to wait even a second.
Qin Huai went back upstairs, walked quickly to Duan Ke's door, and knocked gently.
After waiting for a long time, he knocked a few more times, but no one answered.
The heart that had been dull for years suddenly became sensitive to emotions. The fear like ants gnawing spread in the judge's heart, and his brain was almost blank.
He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm and think.
Maybe Duan Ke is at home. He's been living there a lot lately, so he might be used to it.
If Duan Ke is not there, I can always find him quickly by calling him.
Qin Huai took out the key and tried to open the door.
Only then did he realize that his hands were shaking. It took him several tries before he finally found the right key for the lock.
When he opened the door, Qin Huai's heart dropped to the ground when he saw a pair of shoes at the door.
He breathed a sigh of relief, steadied his steps, and walked towards his room.
Duan Ke was raised to be very clingy by him.
But Qin Huai wasn't impatient at all. He wished Duan Ke couldn't leave him even for a second, like before, like a spherical pendant on his body, requiring his help even for eating and drinking.
Qin Huai turned the knob on his door, but it didn't open.
He frowned and turned it again, only to find that Duan Ke had locked it.
His heart skipped a beat again.
God knows how long it has been since he experienced such a huge ups and downs in emotions. He was almost having a heart attack. Any abnormal behavior of Duan Ke was threatening him.
"Duan Ke." Qin Huai knocked on the door, his voice hoarse, "Are you..."
Qin Huai didn't finish his words when Duan Ke slammed the door under his hand hard, and the sound of Duan Ke's collapse and crying could be heard from inside.
"Qin Huai..." Duan Ke seemed to be completely unconscious. "Qin Huai, I... I feel so uncomfortable... Ah... Ah..."
There is no greater feeling than a broken heart.
But he must not panic. Qin Huai bit his tongue hard, letting the sting help him stay calm, and commanded Duan Ke steadily and gently.
"Baby, open the door for me first."
Qin Huai coaxed him, "Don't cry, baby, don't be anxious. Try to see if you have the strength to open it. If you can't, just lie on the bed, don't lean against the door."
The door lock moved, and Duan Ke's voice was mixed with grievance and sobbing, "I can't open it..."
"Lay down on the bed, baby, lay down on the bed, not against the door."
Qin Huai coaxed him many times before Duan Ke finally listened. Stumbling footsteps were heard, and Qin Huai leaned against the door and listened carefully, knowing that he was no longer there.
Without any hesitation, he kicked the door open.
The door lock clicked with a thumping sound, startling the person on the bed. Qin Huai saw his bed and clothes in disarray, and his breath shuddered uncontrollably.
...post Q period.
Qin Huai strode to his bedside and wanted to pick up Duan Ke, but Duan Ke suddenly began to reject him.
The person who had just been trying desperately to get close to him suddenly shrank and covered himself with his clothes.
During special periods, the extremely sensitive succubus will subconsciously resist any creature that approaches, even its own owner.
"Don't be afraid...baby, I'm not afraid anymore."
Qin Huai half-forced Duan Ke to open his body, and took him out from the pile of clothes, coaxing him non-stop.
"Well done, my baby is so brave..."
"I'm sorry, I'm back late." Qin Huai kept kissing him, "I'm sorry."
The guy who failed in his job has gone home, so these replacements are meaningless.
Only Qin Huai can give Duan Ke real and complete comfort.
Their souls have long been together.
"Baby...I'm back."
Duan Ke seemed to finally hear who was calling him. He cried and panted, trying to resist his instinctive fear. He hugged Qin Huai tightly, letting him be pressed into the sheets and biting the side of his neck.
Qin Huai put two fingers together and placed them on Duan Ke's lips.
"Be good and open your mouth." Qin Huai's voice was hoarse and hot, "Let me feed you."
