Chapter 414: That Man
The shared dream was filled with Anunu's cries. The vast, empty palace contained only the four of them. They watched as Anunu punched Caesar with her little fists, then hugged his neck and cried again.
"Can't you just listen to me for once? I can think of a way!"
"I can find a way. Why are you in such a hurry to differentiate? Even if you don't differentiate, I... I can still like you. What are you going to do about Sitar? What am I supposed to do?"
The truth is that Sevier and Sitar had always told Anunu that the male insect king was born to exist for her. Even if they hadn't said it, her genes and the inherited consciousness network would have told her what a insect race, a supreme insect king, should do.
She absolutely could not give up Caesar; they had similar experiences, and giving him up would be tantamount to giving up her past self. She wondered what would happen if she were abandoned in the same way.
In fact, as a queen insect, she had no need to worry about her familiars. According to the laws of the insect race, mistakes are punished and heretics are dealt with. The way of handling problems is very simple and straightforward, without too many twists and turns.
But Anunu is not that kind of Queen Worm. She habitually hides all her bad emotions, sometimes without even realizing it herself.
These negative emotions, suppressed deep inside, accumulate and eventually erupt at some point.
For the past few years, Anunu has been worried about Caesar splitting apart, and her worries have finally come true. The fierce battle between Sitar and Caesar is telling her that the two of them cannot get along peacefully. This is forcing her to make a choice, which is why she shrinks and has confused memories, and has a certain degree of subjective choice.
Only in this way can she avoid having to make a choice, and Sitar and Caesar will not hurt each other.
Having endured years of hardship and witnessed much harm, Anunu, after gaining a stable life, will resort to a "retreat" approach to solving problems. These are the most important people in her life, the people who have given her love. She wants to repay others' efforts and warmth tenfold.
However, her responsibilities as the Queen Worm forced her to make choices that considered the bigger picture, which was the root of her suffering.
In recent years, she has returned to her Zerg identity and is accepting the changes that genes have brought to her body and soul. However, these changes cannot completely affect her thinking. This is not only because of her past, but because this is the essence of her soul.
She just wants everyone around her to be well, and she will work hard and do her best to protect the people she cares about.
But she also understands that not everything in this world can go as planned, and not everything can be perfectly as one wishes.
She cannot decide or control other people's thoughts and actions; she can only decide what to do herself.
All she can do now is seal the cores of Sitar and Caesar to prevent them from harming each other, but in doing so, she almost killed Mingxiao.
If Mingxiao dies because of this, she will blame everything on her own side.
Caesar and Mingxiao are both her servants. Servants dedicate everything to Ohmu, and Ohmu is also responsible to her servants.
During the few days she shrank, she was dazed when she was conscious, like Anunu who had not yet been affected by her past experiences. But everything she saw was stored deep in her mind. In her consciousness, Anunu's soul bore these pains.
Anunu released all the negative emotions that had been building up inside her within this well-constructed dream world.
The two male insect kings cried so hard that they felt guilty and wanted to go back to their ancestors to apologize.
Anunu was crying in her dream, and now she was lying in bed, sobbing softly with her eyes closed.
Jiang Fan and A Xun were awakened by her crying, and they both went to her bedside to see her.
Jiang Fan licked her face to wipe away her tears, then nudged her with his nose, trying to wake her up. Judging from her appearance, she must have been having a nightmare.
Ah Xun nudged Jiang Fan with the horn on his head and shook his head at him.
Anunu is currently trapped in a dream. The Ohmu can construct a complete world with their consciousness, and ordinary people cannot wake them if they do not want to wake up.
Ah Xun's consciousness circled outside their dream world. Although he couldn't see them, he could sense their emotional fluctuations. It seemed that they were arguing inside and taking the opportunity to revisit the events of the past few days.
It said that how could a little firefly with such a personality be completely unaffected by emotions? It actually kept all the bad emotions in its consciousness and then vented them all in its dreams.
Such a small queen beetle...
How could they bear to let her shed tears!
The male insect king is really useless!
Ah Xun cursed the male insect kings and the current insect race in her heart, then lay down beside her.
At this moment, a figure quietly approached from outside the door, but neither Ah Xun nor Jiang Fan noticed it because they could not smell the scent of non-living things.
A pair of indifferent eyes peered through the crack in the window, their gaze shifting from the two furry balls huddled together to the small figure on the bed.
Upon seeing her, his mechanical eyes flashed with blue light, tracing geometric data patterns that did not belong to biological energy.
But this light had no warmth; it was colder than the wind and snow outside.
Ah Xun and Jiang Fan had only closed their eyes for a short while when suddenly they realized something was wrong. They turned to look out the window, and in an instant, thin needles coated with a high concentration of anesthetic flew into their bodies.
They immediately stood up, trying to be on guard, but the anesthetic took effect very quickly, and Jiang Fan's body went limp as soon as he stood up.
Ah Xun wasn't affected much; it stood guard by the little king insect's bed, growling warily at the door.
The door was pushed open, and a tall figure stood in the doorway. The figure was dressed in a black combat suit with a hood, and an old scarf fluttered behind him. His eyes shone with a ghostly blue light.
Upon seeing his face, Ah Xun was horrified—it was him!
This man is the same robot that it and Caesar encountered when they landed on this planet many years ago!
