Philo
Wei Shao sat in the hospital corridor, with a faint smell of disinfectant lingering around his nose.
Philo stood five steps away from him, his eyelashes slightly drooping, but his eyes were fixed on him.
He inexplicably felt nervous as if he was back in high school and being stared at by his teacher, and then he looked away in an attempt to hide his guilt.
The waiting time is a bit difficult.
The saying "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts" probably also applies to the Zerg. Wei Shao was worried that his alien identity would be detected.
He quietly raised his head and glanced at Philo.
Philo was staring at him.
He coughed lightly and lowered his head somewhat awkwardly.
Three minutes later, he quietly raised his eyes again.
Philo was still staring at him.
…
Coincidentally, every time Wei Shao raised his eyes, he found that the general was looking at him.
He finally couldn't help it and asked tentatively: "Admiral, is there something dirty on my face?"
As soon as these words came out, Philo's eyes immediately underwent a subtle change - Wei Shao suspected that this was the look he gave to a fool.
Philo's brown pupils moved, and he looked at him quietly, as if he was really trying to determine whether there was any dirt on his face.
"No."
The tone is very firm.
As certain as when he was said to be a male insect.
After saying this, Philo lowered his head, pulled out the gun from his waist, and wiped it with his sleeve.
He wiped it very attentively, without looking at anyone or paying any attention to anyone.
Wei Shao breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
"Admiral, Your Excellency, the test results are in."
The inspector held a test report, hesitated for a moment between Fei Luo and Wei Shao, who were both shivering with cold, and finally handed it to Wei Shao.
"Thanks."
Wei Shao habitually looked into the other person's eyes and thanked him before taking the report.
Unexpectedly, the inspector reacted so strongly to this. He immediately looked flattered, and his fair face couldn't help but blush.
"Sir, this is what we should do. You don't have to..."
"What's the result?" A faint voice approached with the sound of military boots hitting the ground, and Philo interrupted their meaningless conversation.
"It really is a male insect." Wei Shao looked at the report in shock. "——Well, what I mean is, I came to the Emperor Star as soon as I opened my eyes. I can't remember anything before. I didn't even know that I was a male insect..."
Philo did not comment on this somewhat confusing explanation. He and Wei Shao looked at each other for two seconds, and suddenly stretched out his hand.
The hand was slender, smooth and with distinct joints. If it weren't for the thin calluses on the fingertips, it would be hard to believe that it was a soldier's hand.
Wei Shao subconsciously straightened his back and shook hands with Philo gracefully.
There were sounds of people gasping for air all around him. He looked over in confusion and accurately saw the disbelief on the faces of Filo's men.
Soon, he knew why.
"Report to me." Philo's voice was chilling, "Also, let go."
"...Oh." Wei Shao smiled stiffly.
It turns out it wasn't a handshake.
Thank you. I wanted to live on another planet since the first day of my time travel.
Philo took the report and turned the page. Wei Shao also leaned over.
A long string of obscure technical terms was followed by a sentence he could understand:
"Spirit level... B?"
"Well, B+." Philo responded and turned another page.
There were even more unfamiliar characters on this page, and Wei Shao couldn't understand them - just like his half-baked language communication ability, he only knew the Zerg language in general.
He wanted to ask Philo, but was afraid of annoying him.
Although he had only read less than five chapters of the original work, the author made it clear at the beginning that Philo actually had no good feelings towards the male insect group.
"Your mental strength fluctuates greatly. During the test, the peak value exceeded A, and the valley value was only C+. It is very unstable." Fei Luo looked at Wei Shao, "What do you think?"
Wei Shao thought for a moment and replied, "I feel my head is swollen and painful. Is this related to this?"
Philo was silent for two seconds, then said, "The report says that you may still be growing."
Since Wei Shao was an illegal resident, the hospital did not know his exact age and could only make guesses in the report.
"..." Wei Shao, who was about to turn twenty, didn't dare to say a word.
Philo's hand that was turning the page suddenly stopped and his brows furrowed deeply.
Wei Shao had realized that the general was not as cold as described in the book. He boldly approached Philo and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The report also says that your pheromone purity is 95%."
He did know this, as it was mentioned in the book that male insects secrete pheromones that can soothe the genetic defects of female insects, thus stopping the female insect's blood from going wild.
Listen to Philo's tone...
Wei Shao asked: "Is it higher than the average?"
"No," Philo shook his head, "It's much higher. The pheromone purity of male insects is generally below 60%."
-
Outside the hospital, in a police car.
"Mr. Wei Shao, your identity as a male insect is true. We have no right to arrest you. This case will be handed over to the Male Insect Protection Association, and they will make the judgment. You are free now."
Wei Shao nodded, not quite understanding, "Okay."
He actually didn't know the difference between the approaches of the Male Insect Protection Association and the public security department.
But looking at the attitude of the police, you can see that the current situation is much better than before.
His mood did not ease because of this change, but became even more depressed - why should the female insect be arrested directly when there is a conflict between male and female? And the conflicts between Xiongxiong can be handled normally?
Although the book mentioned that male insects are rare and precious, but with such indulgence, is it possible that there can still be normal male insects?
"In order to provide sufficient information to the Male Insect Protection Association, we need to understand the specific reasons for the physical conflict between you and Sir George."
"He provoked me." Wei Shao got angry when he thought of that wretched face.
"Sir, please be more specific. Was it a verbal or physical provocation? And what was the reason?"
"...He called me a bitch, he thought I was a female insect," Wei Shao's face turned blue, his fists clenched, "and then he touched my butt."
The policeman's face was serious: "Don't worry, George the male insect's behavior has constituted the crime of molesting male insects. Even if he is a male insect, he will be punished."
"Locked up for fifteen days?" Philo, who had been silent, suddenly looked over.
His tone was quite calm, but somehow it made people feel that he seemed not very satisfied with this punishment.
"Yes," the policeman replied, "he is a male after all."
Fei Luo turned around and asked Wei Shao: "Do you remember your age?"
This question was asked in the testing room a long time ago.
Wei Shao of course gave the same answer: "I don't remember."
After saying this, he looked at Filo's cold profile, as if he had sensed something.
Philo took the report from his subordinate, turned to a certain page and handed it to the police.
"The doctor determined that he is still in the developmental stage, which means," he glanced at Wei Shao, "this Lord Wei Shao is most likely not yet an adult."
The policeman's eyes widened.
In the Empire, the crime of injuring and molesting underage male insects is much more serious than the crime of injuring and molesting male insects.
Even if the criminal is a male, he will be imprisoned for three to five years.
The reason is simple. The pheromones and mental power of immature male insects are in an extremely unstable state. If they are violated, they may die directly.
"We understand," the policeman said, his expression becoming more serious. "So, Admiral, what you mean is -"
Philo handed him the report and said, "Let's get him an identity first."
The policeman glanced at the word "unknown" in the age column and understood.
"Your identity information will soon be entered into the public security system, and you will be able to get your own ID card in three days. Since you have been an illegal resident, your movements will be monitored by the public security system for a full two years."
"Okay, thank you." Wei Shao responded softly.
The policeman put the report into the file and bowed to Wei Shao sincerely: "Sir Wei Shao, I am very sorry for offending you before. Please allow me to apologize to you. If necessary, I can pay you a certain amount of mental damages."
As public servants, they are more sensitive in this regard than ordinary female insects. After all, protecting male insects has always been the political correctness of the empire.
Wei Shao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just a small misunderstanding."
The policeman pursed his lips and smiled: "Sir Wei Shao, this is my phone number. If you have any difficulties in life in the future, you can ask me for help."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Wei Shao took the business card without thinking much and prepared to put it in his pocket.
The red-haired adjutant standing next to Philo suddenly sneered.
The policeman's face turned red instantly and he bit his lips until they were bloodshot.
Philo warned calmly, "Ludel."
Ludel raised an eyebrow and made a zipper motion with his hand around his mouth.
Wei Shao: “…”
Even if he was a fool, he should have realized that something was wrong by now.
Due to his habitual thinking as a straight man, he subconsciously thought that this was a sign of care from the police, and did not notice the ambiguous meaning behind the business card.
The thin business card suddenly became very hot, and Wei Shao's ears began to burn under the gazes of several people.
"It's better not to bother you," he handed the business card back to the female insect police officer, thanking her with a hint of alienation, "Thank you for your kindness."
The policeman was stunned for a moment: "It's just a business card."
Wei Shao didn't say anything, his hand holding the business card still suspended in mid-air.
The other party showed a disappointed expression and could only take the business card back.
-
After leaving the hospital, Wei Shao looked around the unfamiliar streets blankly and took a step forward.
"Wei Shao."
It was Philo's voice.
Wei Shao paused, turned around, and stared at Fei Luo across a blind path: "Anything else, General?"
Philo's eyebrows slightly frowned: "Are you angry?"
"No." Wei Shao shook his head slightly.
He wasn't really angry, he just felt a little strange.
Although George is really disgusting, it doesn't seem necessary to deliberately find loopholes to aggravate the charges.
It seemed as if Philo had a grudge against the insect and was using it to punish it.
"George's female lord was a soldier in my team. His name was Harry. He died in a car accident last month, along with the baby in her belly."
As if seeing through his thoughts, Philo spoke without warning.
Wei Shao was stunned.
"That is a fully grown female insect cub. If it can be born successfully, it will probably become an excellent imperial soldier like its father in the future."
"Herri was very brave and killed many enemy insects that invaded the empire on the battlefield, but he died in a ridiculous murder in the end." Philo's index finger gently flicked the trigger of the gun. "George secretly loosened the screws of the family car because he had gambled away all the family money and wanted to get a lump sum pension for military dependents."
"But he didn't know that Hurry had already submitted an application for early retirement to the military... I personally approved that application."
At this point, Philo's voice became a little hoarse.
"Hurry said on it that he was pregnant and wanted to return to his family."
