Chapter 122: Surrender (Part 2)
Shi Cunjin looked at Anushka, rarely having anything to say, and fell into silence.
The female soldier kneeling on one knee had wet blonde hair and bloodshot eyes like a wet drowned ghost in a Japanese horror movie.
His facial expression was frozen, and his lips were curved in a weird smile.
This discordant display reminded Shi Cunjin of a painting splashed with white ink. The blank space and colored ink coexist in a distorted manner on the same surface, a gorgeous defect.
How could this happen?
Shi Cunjin quickly reviewed the recent plans in a few seconds and only found one anomaly: he lost contact with Anushka for more than 24 hours during the war.
In just one day, Anushka became like this...?
Shi Cunjin began to understand the world from the original novel, came into contact with Anushka, and chatted with her online to dilute the stereotypes of the original novel. The Anushka he knew had a fiery soul different from the cold words in the original novel.
However, no matter how different it is, Anushka's character and style are based on the original setting, and his thoughts, personality, and cognitive subject will not undergo earth-shaking changes.
Anushka is a young and energetic major general who is highly regarded by his superiors. His arrogance is justified by his extraordinary talent. He commands an army of tens of thousands, so his character and way of doing things should and must be strong and extremely self-centered.
Shi Cunjin couldn't imagine how this type of "person" could lose control to this extent within 24 hours.
In particular, the reason for the loss of control was because of an online chat partner who was in an ambiguous period, and they did not even clearly define this ambiguous relationship!
All the communication between Fate and A567 is like hands under the tablecloth, tentatively holding, pushing and pulling each other, a virtual tango not on the stage.
Just a little vague and illusory ambiguity and resonance could force Anushka to rush into the battlefield without hesitation to find an online chat partner. Shi Cunjin thought about how Anushka's current identity would clearly interfere in the battle between the two groups, and how much trouble she would be in once it was exposed.
But Anushka just took action.
Shi Cunjin's rationality and sensibility are both intimidating: his obsessive nature actually breeds an invincible love brain.
He knew Anushka was easily carried away, but he was still shocked and felt the weight of Anushka's promise like never before.
All the certificates that A567 sent to Fite over the Internet can be invalidated on the pretext of being lost.
The planets, gold and valuables sent by A567 can be tracked and recovered by using the special identity.
The establishment and cancellation of all the privileges and facilities provided by A567 depend on his personal mood.
Shi Cunjin is a writer who knows clearly that words are infinitely deceptive, and he will not gamble on the opportunity of being born only on words.
He only believes that what he has under his control is absolutely stable.
The system consumed 35% of the energy points. As long as it wanted to hide with the host, the entire Zerg race’s technology would not be able to search for Fate’s real IP.
But Anushka just found it.
Crossing the endless virtual, impossible, and vague sea of stars, rushing into reality, breaking into Shi Cunjin's world, angry and crazy, absolutely real, changing the temptation on the Internet.
This time, Anushka put herself on the line: he promised.
Regardless of race or gender, or the differences between reality and fiction, his promise is only for the souls that have resonated with him.
Shi Cunjin's heavy defenses were knocked open by Anushka with a bloody head.
Even considering his age in the 21st century, Shi Cunjin has never been as speechless as he was tonight.
In a cold and eerie alien world, a true miracle was born tonight. The miracle flew across the sea of stars and landed before his eyes.
…
At this moment, Shi Cunjin's excellent verbal skills were also taken away. His lips were slightly opened and closed repeatedly but no sound came out.
Anushka's tentacles twitched suddenly, but her face still could not form any new expression. She tilted her head to the side and listened, and her tentacles suddenly straightened!
He didn't realize that Shi Cunjin didn't actually make a sound. He saw Shi Cunjin's lips moving but no sound came out, so he thought it was his problem.
Anushka leaned forward, stunned: “W…what, what?”
He moved forward eagerly, staggering on one knee. Shi Cunjin subconsciously reached out to help him. Anushka immediately grabbed Shi Cunjin's hands and threw him to the ground.
The pure black four-winged butterfly spread out, covering the two of them.
Anushka was very emotional, and Shi Cunjin just moved his lips, and Anushka's numb mind began to boil again.
He pressed Shi Cunjin to the ground, and excitedly rubbed Shi Cunjin's lips with his finger knuckles, with a twisted smile and a strange voice: "Give it to me, give it to me...the voice, give it to me."
Anushka has a terrifying expression, with excitement, emptiness, twisted happiness and bestial desire all on his face. He is like a blank sheet of paper that is easy to understand, clear, but has many possibilities.
Shi Cunjin looked at Anushka's crazy and blank bloodshot eyes, and suddenly felt that his thinking time was stretched out, and the world slowed down in his eyes. It was very strange, he had never had a similar experience before.
Shi Cunjin couldn't help but recall a comment made by a friend in the 21st century.
＊
Friend: "You can't do that. You will become more and more suspicious. Think about it? Apart from the brothers and sisters in the orphanage who you take care of, what other close relationships do you have? You have never kept in touch with any date for more than a week, and you have won more awards than flirtatious messages in college."
Friend: "You are good at discovering people's strengths and weaknesses. Being too attentive and careful will only make others think you are strange and uncomfortable."
“Not everyone in the world can face their own strengths and weaknesses as frankly as you can. It is difficult for people to accept their own shortcomings, flaws and incompetence.”
"You will miss out on a true lover because of this character, Shi Cunjin, you can't always be so sensitive and suspicious, or you'll tire yourself out!"
At that time, Shi Cunjin smiled and poured a glass of water for his friend, and responded calmly: "I understand. Next time before I send you New Year's greetings, I will learn more about your social situation to avoid writing the wrong name in the greetings to your sister-in-law and exposing the dirty tricks of you and your ex."
A friend with a broken arm and a cast on his arm was extremely upset: "You did this on purpose! You hate me! I curse you to be alone forever!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
＊
Shi Cunjin's luck has been bad since he was a child.
It can be as small as choking when drinking water with big gulps, to various admission tickets being lost or damaged due to strange reasons, to as big as having to change the route temporarily nine times out of ten due to accidents when traveling.
However, the mysterious difficulties of growth rarely really hurt Shi Cunjin.
The little troubles in life have made Shi Cunjin more patient than ordinary people. Patience makes it easier for Shi Cunjin to discover the details that cause troubles. His concentration and sensitivity have been honed by these troubles year after year.
Shi Cunjin used this sharp knife of thinking to cut off all the signs of misfortune.
Sometimes he couldn't tell whether he liked traveling because he wanted to experience his own perfectly planned itinerary, or because he preferred the unknown accidents that were bound to happen during the trip, exploring difficulties that were beyond his plans and then solving them?
Shi Cunjin is fascinated by unexpected difficulties, which is a flaw in his character.
But not everyone can overcome growth difficulties.
When Shi Cunjin was a child, there was a child in the welfare home where he lived in his childhood who was very sensitive to numbers. The child was a few years older than Shi Cunjin. He was the first genius Shi Cunjin came into contact with in his life.
Calculating math and formulas is as easy as eating and drinking water for this child. The director's mother loves this child very much and insists on sending him to participate in various competitions every few months despite limited financial conditions. There is a trophy room in the welfare home, and the trophies of this child when he was 10 years old occupied two walls.
Suddenly one day, the elder brother came back from a competition and could no longer do math and formulas, and he never touched numbers again until his death.
At that time, Shi Cunjin was still young and didn’t know the reason. He just felt it was so regretful and sad.
Shi Cunjin later found out what that brother had experienced: a rigged competition, insults, cheating, and the cancellation of his admission quota.
This adversity shattered the spirit of this genius, and his talent withered in his body.
That brother once explained mathematics to Shi Cunjin. Under his explanation and guidance, the world of mathematics became clear and vivid, interesting and full of the charm of dissecting the laws of the world.
The passion for solving problems was planted in Shi Cunjin's character at that time.
Such a stunning and extraordinary person never touched numbers again, closed the door to the world of anatomy, and extinguished his desire to explore the world.
Later, Shi Cunjin understood the childhood sadness in his heart.
The sadness I felt in my childhood is the sadness that countless people feel when they see the last life of a certain biological species die in nature.
Later, when he grew up and entered society, he encountered many unfortunate things, each of which made Shi Cunjin's mind stronger, and his combative desire to stir up trouble gradually increased.
At the same time, Shi Cunjin is a person who can control himself very well.
He realized that he was smart in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was not a good thing for intelligence and aggressiveness to appear in the same person.
One day, his aggressiveness will bring him into conflict with a monster that he cannot handle.
Shi Cunjin chose a lock for himself, dividing his fighting spirit to protect all his brothers and sisters who came from the same orphanage.
The director's mother is kindhearted. Most of the children in the orphanage need to apply for disability benefits. They encounter many troubles and discrimination in society that normal people cannot imagine.
Following the dean's mother, Shi Cunjin became the pillar of the "family". His brothers and sisters were the lock of his growing desires, and he was the wall behind his brothers and sisters to block trouble and death.
Some people, after experiencing a difficult fire, become depressed for the rest of their lives, but Shi Cunjin is not like that. His patience is like the vast grassland. Even after being plowed by wildfires and lightning again and again, he can still sprout again in a spring after the rain and invade the earth with great momentum.
…
Being a wall is not easy, you need to think more and always have countless backup plans. Being a friend, brother, parent, and teacher to younger siblings is not an easy thing either.
Shi Cunjin must be mature enough to withstand all the pressure, but also have the youthful mentality of brothers and sisters who dare to joke with him.
Before coming to this world, Shi Cunjin was accustomed to showing others a friendly and considerate mask.
But now, Anushka used herself as a promise to open the door of Shi Cunjin's heart. Shi Cunjin, who had been loyal to his own desires and restrained himself for many years, walked to the door, walked out, and stopped beside Anushka, who was covered in blood.
…
…
The female's long silence was like a bad sign.
It's a bad omen!
Anushka's emotions surged again, and as they surged, they broke. She used her fingers to dig into the female's mouth like crazy, "...sound, sound..."
Shi Cunjin's lips were immediately scratched by the nails. The pain brought him out of the subtle and strange state of slowing down, and he felt water dripping on his face.
Anushka stared with bloodshot eyes, and tears mixed with blood dripped onto Shi Cunjin's face. He retracted his fingers and licked Shi Cunjin's wound, still maintaining the bestial mindset of an omega wolf, and subconsciously cleaned the stain for the alpha wolf.
After licking the blood, Anushka regained some sanity, but he had no idea why it happened, as anger rushed to his mind first.
Anushka had a fierce expression on her face. She pinched Shi Cunjin's chin and forced him to look at her in the eye: "Don't be angry, don't be sad, don't be afraid! The Wanderer will save your relatives, and the Wanderer will save any wasps that have a relationship with you!"
Anushka vented her feelings repeatedly, and after saying two sentences, she really opened her wrist brain and issued a new command: [Stop the control war, and count all the surviving wasp cubs! ]
"Is that okay? Is that enough? What else do you need to not be angry? Not be sad? Be happy?"
Anushka was crying blood and speaking incoherently: "Happy. Don't be afraid, don't cry, happy."
"Are you angry? Will you be happy if the Wanderer can slaughter the Third Army of No. 56?"
"There is another Wasp branch two weeks away. I can kill them all."
Anushka held Shi Cunjin's face, lowered her head and rubbed her face against his lips. Her furious voice lowered, her breathing became rapid and painful: "Don't cry, don't be sad."
"Happy, happy."
Shi Cunjin closed his eyes, neither afraid nor sad, and in a blink of an eye he accurately dissected the core of the chaos and the solution.
It is Anushka who has been controlled by fear.
Shi Cunjin put his hand on Anushka's back.
This "person" is not good at expressing good emotions. At the same time, he believes that fear and sadness are symbols of cowardice. One of the foundations of his character is arrogance, and proud people will never reconcile with fear and sadness.
Every word he said now revealed his true fear. He was so sad and scared that he was about to die.
Telling Fate not to be sad and afraid is also telling yourself.
The source of all this confusion: Fate has no connection with Anushka in any meaningful sense.
Anushka was leaning on Shi Cunjin's chest, breathing heavily. Shi Cunjin took the opportunity to touch his wet golden hair and for the first time spoke to Anushka in a cold and commanding manner.
"Anushka, I am injured. I need you to help me, I need you to provide me with medical care, I need you to save me."
Anushka was not listening and was rubbing Shi Cunjin's lips with her face. Feeling his lips shaking and opening and closing, she immediately half raised her head and leaned towards Shi Cunjin's pale lips.
Shi Cunjin immediately inserted his fingers into the golden hair, exerted force with his arms, pulled Anushka's golden hair to straighten his face so that he could look into her eyes.
He stared into Anushka's eyes, his pupils became needle-shaped, and spoke in the commanding manner that Anushka was most familiar with and accustomed to in her past military career, with the female instinct implanted in her: "Soldier, listen carefully to my instructions."
Anushka's expression slowly turned blank, as if she was about to return to normal, but Shi Cunjin knew that Anushka was still confused and couldn't distinguish her own identity and class.
The fact that she massacred the Third Army and intervened in the friction between the two groups is enough to prove that even if the communication was smooth for a short time, Anushka was still mentally ill.
Military females have special nerves. Once they lose control, it is almost impossible for them to regain consciousness on their own without the use of drugs and protective gear. At this time, being gentle is useless.
Shi Cunjin repeated it clearly again, simplifying all the requirements for building a relationship into the instructions that Anushka was most familiar with. After saying it three times, he began to order Anushka to respond.
"Soldier, I noticed you are wearing an electric shock collar. Please briefly describe the functionality of the electric shock collar as a protective device."
Anushka's lips were slightly parted, but she didn't speak right away.
Shi Cunjin wiped away the tears and blood on his face and rubbed Anushka's lower lip with the bloody thumb.
Anushka closed her mouth, then slowly opened it, letting out an inaudible "ah" and began to report.
"...control, the electric shock chip will stimulate the female soldier's nerves...to achieve...awakeness and suppress emotional secretion...secretion..., there are three levels of electric shock, after the electric shock is performed, the nerve therapy needle built into the neck ring will repair the female soldier's nerves, and the built-in hormone inhibitor will be released afterwards...the female soldier will be controlled and calmed down."
Shi Cunjin said: "Give me the remote control."
Anushka took out a lightweight metal piece from the small bag of tactical magnetic tape and handed it to Shi Cunjin. Her expression remained blank and she followed each instruction and action.
Shi Cunjin asked again: "What does it feel like to be subjected to electric shock?"
"First gear is paralyzed, second gear is incapacitated, third gear is dead."
Shi Cunjin asked him: "How many times have you experienced this?"
"Second gear."
Shi Cunjin said: "I hate it. I don't like it."
Anushka paused. This word was not an instruction, and he did not react immediately.
Shi Cunjin slowed down his tone and said, "I hate it and don't like it. Right?"
Anushka's pupils were still covered with blood and her face was covered with traces of blood and tears. The sudden silence was even more terrifying.
Shi Cunjin carefully considered every word and picked out the most commonly used words in Anushka's diary: hate, annoyance, and dislike.
When a person suffers a major emotional shock and is unable to digest it for a period of time, he or she will return to the state of numbness, helplessness, and fear that we experienced as children, thus leaving behind indelible post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Shi Cunjin knew the words that Anushka used most often in her childhood, and asked them one by one, as if he was asking the older one, or as if he was responding to the cub hidden in his memory.
When Shi Cunjin repeated it for the fourth time, Anushka nodded slowly: "Hate it, don't like it, right."
Anushka stared at Shi Cunjin's silver eyes, and suddenly said, "Fate likes it."
Shi Cunjin wiped away the tears under his left eye with his fingertips: "Lower your head."
Anushka lowered his head, and Shi Cunjin placed the metal remote control on the back of his neck. With a slight sensor beep, the black ring was taken off.
As long as Shi Cunjin kept giving instructions, Anushka kept her head down.
This time he did not show any emotion, but quietly laid his head on Shi Cunjin's neck.
Shi Cunjin took out the nerve therapy needle and hormone inhibitor built into the electric shock collar and looked at the light leaking into the butterfly's wings.
After a few seconds of silence, Shi Cunjin untied the needle cap with one hand, pinched Anushka's neck, and motioned him to lift his face.
…
…
Anushka regained consciousness and reason emerged from the deep sea. The first sensation he felt was: bitterness and sweetness.
My tongue smelled the bitterness of the medicine and an indescribable taste of liquid that I had never tasted in the past 23 years. A new type of repair liquid?
This taste made Anushka addicted and hungry. He exerted force greedily, wanting to monopolize as much of the new sweet spring as possible, and then grind it bit by bit in his throat and swallow it to digest it.
The smell whetted his appetite and left his stomach empty.
Suddenly, Anushka frowned, and there was a sharp pain in the scalp beside his ear. He heard a few exaggerated gasps and painful gulps. He opened his eyes impatiently.
“…”
Anushka almost thought she was dead.
Why else would Fate be in his arms?
etc.
Why is Fate's face filled with tears?
etc.
Fate in his arms tilted his head back, covered his mouth and coughed desperately.
The scarf she wore when they first met was long gone, Fate's collar was disheveled, her lower lip was red as blood, and there were blue and red criss-cross rope-like bruises on her neck.
Because of leaning back, Fate's neck arched into a beautiful arc, her neck bones and flesh were evenly proportioned, her skin was delicate and thin, and several obvious blood vessels could be faintly seen under the skin. The bruises on her neck looked like falling snow, and Chong felt thirsty as if his throat was burning with fire.
Anushka suddenly thought of a question: Is it a lighting problem or a genetic disease? Why is her skin like this?
Shi Cunjin suddenly put his hand on Jin's head, which had involuntarily moved closer, and coughed, "That's enough."
What is enough? Anushka started to say, then froze.
Neck... This part of the neck, except for the place where the hormone suppression ring is buckled, there are rope-like strangulation marks on the skin on both sides with sticky water marks.
A small guide from the tutorial given by her friend D suddenly flashed through Anushka's stagnant mind.
[The tongue of the butterfly tribe is long and thin, with strong suction power. The tongue of the sub-female butterfly tribe has no obvious soft barbs, so it is deeply favored by the gentlemen. The sub-female butterfly tribe has raised the marriage and fertility rate of the entire tribe by itself. The butterfly tribe ranked top 3 in marriage and fertility rate in 2000. ]
Anushka lowered her head little by little, and he came to his senses. She could tell Fate's real age from his broad shoulders and facial bones at a glance.
Puberty, early... period? Early...?
?
?
…?
Shi Cunjin finally calmed down and stopped coughing. His eyelashes were wet with tears, and when he blinked, the tears on his eyelashes blurred his vision.
He was somewhat unable to read Anushka’s expression.
The surroundings were abnormally quiet. Shi Cunjin immediately lowered his head and wiped his tears with the back of his hand. Just as he was about to raise his head, Anushka pressed his head down with her hand.
“…Anushka?”
Shi Cunjin finally heard Anushka's normal voice again, hoarse and calm: "Prison Star has more than 300 methods of punishment, 160 of which use props, and 50 are electric shock therapy."
Shi Cunjin: ...? Seven.0 Wine. Si ⑹⒊⒎⒊ bell.
Anushka: "I will send you the information later. You can choose the one you like. I will find a bug to transport it to you within an hour. You can choose the one that suits you."
Shi Cunjin: ...
The two doses of powerful medicine in the electric shock ring have expired?
…
At the same time, in other areas of Planet 56.
"The count is finally complete," said a wanderer.
There were sporadic responses from the team's channel.
After a while, a voice sighed: [It's a waste to use the super-standard alien anesthetic here. It costs hundreds of millions per piece. ]
An hour ago, the chief suddenly issued a new order. Although the entire army was puzzled, some fleet commanders were still wondering: Is the chief affected by some bug?
But no one questioned the commander-in-chief's orders.
Their general is the brightest new star in 2000, with a brilliant record and countless honors. It is impossible for a bug to use mind control to influence General Kash, and it will be crushed to death by the general before it gets close.
The Kashu army was puzzled, but quickly mobilized all its forces to carry out the order.
The commander-in-chief's order was to stop the war and count the number of cubs. The Kashu Army exerted 100% of its bureaucratic and considerate skills and directly intervened to completely stop the friction war between the two groups.
The Rover warship dropped a batch of high-quality alien tranquilizer bombs on the surface of Planet 56. Within 20 minutes, all the crazy bloody battles on Planet 56 stopped!
All the Wasps were paralyzed. A certain Third Army base was too close to the Wasp battlefield and was hit by the Wanderer's tranquilizer bomb.
The female insect of the Third Army was sitting in the dormitory when she suddenly fell unconscious.
Other Third Army: ...
This is really the style of the Space Berserker Team, so polite!
Another 20 minutes later, the rover dispatched a team of medical ships to contact the 3rd Army Base and Wasp Army Base at No. 56 to launch a global post-war search and rescue operation.
All the surviving members of the Wasp Army were captured and imprisoned in the Third Army base. Imprisoning them in the Wasp base would be like sending insects to waste.
After an hour of busy work, the rover team returned to standby mode.
The channel team chats from time to time:
[Did any of the CEO’s social circle friends end up on Planet 56? ]
[Impossible, the president's social circle is full of privileged people. How could a privileged person like a place like this?]
…
[Fortunately, 56 is a medium-sized star, and the climate control system can be rebuilt after a while. Today's thunderstorm is really rare. ]
…
[The sun is out, and the clouds at No. 56 are so blue. Is this really a color that can be adjusted without a climate control system?]
【The natural climate is amazing. 】
…
As we were chatting, suddenly that familiar voice came on the microphone: [Fuck! ! Did you know! The general manager just issued a new order! ? ]
[Hmm?]
[What? Why didn’t our team 6 receive it? ? ]
【ah?】
Young voice: [This order was given to the First Army Medical Ship Team alone. The commander-in-chief cleared out the No. 4 medical ship and sealed all the boarding ports. Not a single military doctor was left. They all went to the No. 5 ship.]
The young man said mysteriously: [The commander-in-chief is not a worm, it's outrageous! My brother is the military doctor of the 4th ship. When he left, he happened to be in a special position. The commander-in-chief was holding a sub-female in his arms with a military cloak. Sub-female! Sub-female! Ah! Sorry brothers, I don't mean to offend the sub-female soldiers in the team. But I really haven't seen the commander-in-chief's personal friends with sub-female relatives! Do you remember? The commander-in-chief disdained to share the stage with sub-females in the martial arts exchange competition! ]
…
The team channel fell into silence for five minutes.
After a while, a lower voice started to speak uncertainly: [There is a rumor on Starnet that Fate is a sub-female...right?]
The next second! There is another slightly older voice conditional reflection: [Which one is the 404th HOT post at Fit Station? ]
Suddenly, the team channel fell silent again.
Then, there were a series of weird, furtive responses: [Tsk.] [Eh.] [I give in to you, a bunch of idiots.]
[Eh... How long have you been chasing? Is there such a quick reaction on the battlefield? Ugh... How many copies of the Collector's Edition of "Roommate" did you collect? A comrade of mine asked me to ask if there is any of the Bladewing Dragonfly?]
[I feel dizzy when I see the department logo on the microphone. I beg the command department to remain anonymous and give me some of the beautiful awe of the military command system.]
[…]
…
Another five minutes passed before a deep and deep voice came from the private channel microphone: [The number one on Fate's list... couldn't it be our general manager? ]
【Not the first place in guessing? 】
[Emm, with this kind of financial resources and this kind of military woman who is good at slacking off... how many are there in the four major regions? Not to mention the inexplicable delay of the chief this time. ]
[Fuck, I can’t even imagine it… Stop talking about it, it’s so scary. ]
“What the hell!??”
The system that was back online screamed in fear in Teacher Shi's mind.
"I haven't seen you for a few hours. How did you end up in the Wanderer group!!!"
"Ah? Ah?"
On this day, the system once again recalled the first day of the restart, when Teacher Shi was dissatisfied with the initial disadvantage of the planet and took horrific action to change the track overnight for three days.
Shi Cunjin rubbed his temples and said, "Don't ask. First check if there are any other surveillance cameras in the bathroom of this room."
The system began to detect this ultra-high-specification medical ship belonging to the rover in a daze, confusion, and helplessness.
