Chapter 462: I really want to
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
Caesar scrutinized Anno from head to toe, noticing the ropes binding her hands. He drew his knife and swiftly severed them, then frowned and looked behind her.
Anno grabbed his hand. "I wanted to come here myself. I was suffocating up there. I knew they wouldn't hurt me, but I didn't expect it to be you guys here."
At this point, Anno cupped Caesar's face in her hands, and Caesar followed her movement, pressing his forehead against hers. A sliver of the antennae on Anno's forehead peeked out, and they briefly connected in consciousness.
This is an innate interaction action of the Zerg. When a Zerg member who has been separated from his kin for a long time finds his kin, he will touch him in this way.
Anno was forced to sever her consciousness for so long, constantly under the surveillance of a more powerful consciousness, unable to connect with her clan through the consciousness network, which always made her uneasy.
Now that she was back connected to Caesar's consciousness, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, we are almost there. We only need the last nine keys."
Caesar whispered to Anno.
During their time hiding in the City of Heaven, Caesar and his men were constantly searching for the key. In reality, the key was a data code, which was stored in the energy stones that the hundred members of the Enlightenment Organization never parted with.
These one hundred Celestials are the highest-ranking and most powerful beings in the City of Heaven, and they are surrounded by various protective measures. We cannot disturb these Celestials. Right now, we can only rely on Caesar's spatial gate and Sitar's precognitive abilities to obtain the key.
"Nine more to go?"
Anno turned on the personal terminal, and an image was projected. "Can you input it?"
The image shows an energy stone with a string of blue text codes lit up inside.
This picture was taken one evening when Fei Jue and she were together. She said she wanted to see his keys, and he actually showed them to her.
Caesar immediately took out a diamond-shaped black energy stone pendant. The pendant emitted a burst of light and entered the text code in Anno's hand, showing a progress of 92%.
Everyone was overjoyed to see that the progress had advanced another step.
"You're lying! You even said you didn't have the key."
Little Stone, hands on his hips, addressed Anno.
Anno smiled and said, "I don't have a key. I got this from someone else."
Little Stone wanted to say something, but under Caesar's death stare, he shrank back and hid behind Erwu, muttering softly, "I didn't know this pretty lady was with us. I was wondering how she could be a Celestial. Even Celestials aren't as pretty as her."
As soon as he said that, his companions all looked at him. "Little Stone, you said before that she must be a celestial being, and that celestial beings are good at deceiving people, and that we shouldn't believe her."
"That's right, Little Stone, how come you changed your tune so quickly?"
Little Stone stubbornly retorted, "That's what I said on purpose; that's not what I really thought."
"Little Stone, you don't want to get beaten up, do you?"
Everyone laughed, and Little Stone blushed with embarrassment at their laughter.
He looked at Anuo and said to her, "Pretty sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were with us. You should have told us sooner."
Anno said, "I don't know who you are either, but you are indeed very capable."
Hearing her praise, the children immediately became happy.
Caesar whispered in her ear, "Your Highness, you are very good at coaxing children."
Anno said, "Children are the easiest to coax; there's nothing difficult about it."
As she spoke, Anno turned her head and saw Sitar standing quietly to the side, looking at her calmly and gently.
It was definitely the right thing to do to let him spend this time with Caesar.
They knew she was trapped in the Golden Palace, a place where danger lurked at every turn. With her safety at stake, nothing else mattered.
Sitar opened his arms to Anno, "Come here."
Anuo pounced on him, clinging tightly to his waist with her legs, and burying her face in his neck, rubbing against him vigorously.
She took a deep breath and smelled the faint scent of his pheromones, which made her feel much more at ease. Sital hugged her tightly, not caring at all that she was covered in dirt, and nuzzled her cheek, kissing her cheek.
Anno whispered in Sitar's ear, "I miss you so much."
Sitar's voice was deep: "I miss you too, Anunu."
Anno, hiding from the others, nibbled on his ear, "What I was thinking about was that..."
Then she whispered a few words to him.
Upon hearing this, Sitar's ears turned red, and his deep blue eyes stared fixedly at Anno.
"I really want to."
Anuo's voice carried a hint of grievance. Now that she had been given a taste of meat, she had only had one bite and couldn't get any more after that.
Seeing her like this, Sitar decided to give her everything.
"No rush, sweetie. Once we get back, you can have whatever you want."
Although Anuo was still a little dissatisfied, hearing him say that reminded her of the night he whispered softly beneath her in the dim light.
hiss......
I can't think about it anymore; the more I think about it, the more I want it.
Anno hugged Sitar and rubbed and kissed him vigorously before finally letting go, feeling a little more satisfied.
Sitar tried to wipe the dust off her face, but she pressed his hand down. "No need. I have to go back. If I stay here, they'll find this place very soon."
“Don’t worry.” Sitar gestured for Anno to look up. The lights in the hall dimmed, and Anno looked up to see a pattern of blue light covering the entire ceiling.
“I used my abilities to block Mo’s spying. With the support of my and Caesar’s core energy, it can be maintained for a while.”
Anno placed his hand on Sitar's cheek, his tone worried: "It must have taken a lot of energy. The energy here is very suppressed. I can feel your energy being backfired."
Sitar held her hand and didn't hide anything from her: "It's a backlash. The energy stones they use are different from ours, and we can't increase our energy much with their energy stones, but we can hold out until we get the key."
Speaking of keys, Anno pondered, "Now there are only two keys left that I haven't gotten my hands on, they should belong to Caius and Xi."
“That’s right,” Sitar said. “You got the Non-Secret. Xi was the hardest to get. The guards around Caius are all quite strong, and there’s also one of our own kind. Now, apart from those two, the rest are not difficult to get.”
Anno understood that although Sitar said it was easy to obtain, acquiring so many keys from superior celestial beings was actually quite a task.
He and Caesar would have to expend a large amount of core energy to temporarily create an energy field to isolate themselves from the spying of the mortals, and then obtain some information from them, so as to obtain the key code from them discreetly.
If even one of them discovers their intentions, they will become more vigilant, making it even harder to obtain the key.
The City of Heaven is filled with an energy different from that of the Zerg, making it feel like walking through a swamp, which is very difficult and uncomfortable for them.
Anno thought for a moment and said, "I'll go get the key from Xi's side."
“Anunu.” Sitar touched her cheek and looked into her eyes, saying, “Xi is very powerful. Don’t be fooled by her performance.”
Anno nodded: "Don't worry."
After saying that, Anno looked at Caesar and said, "Take me back."
As soon as she finished speaking, several people rushed into the hall and said to Erwu and the others, "There was a conflict upstairs, but it wasn't our people."
Sitar and Anno said, "Besides us, there are many resistance organizations lurking in the City of Heaven. Perhaps we can take advantage of the chaos to lure Xi out."
Anno said, "I'll try to see if I can get it."
Caesar opened a spatial portal and sent Anno to a square in the City of Heaven, where the resistance was clashing with the City of Heaven's guards, and chaos reigned.
Caesar originally wanted to take Anno to a safer place, but she refused.
These past few days, she's been following Fei Jue and has seen that the entire city is under martial law, with guards searching everywhere for them. Caesar is the number one target and has been on their radar for a long time.
This is a perfect opportunity for Caesar to blend in undetected during this riot.
"Overthrow the City of Heaven and give us back the future of Lyca!"
"Overthrow the City of Heaven and give us back the future of Lyca!"
Anno mingled in the commotion, watching a group of neatly dressed Lyca people waving flags and shouting. Drones surrounding them were exchanging fire with the guards, but both sides had shields and neither side gained the upper hand.
She looked at the group of people shouting, and among them were some Celestials. What made the Celestials different from the other Lyca people was that they all had energy patterns on their bodies.
No wonder, those guards were only half-offensive and half-defensive; with Tianren present, they couldn't take any forceful measures.
More and more guards arrived, and they began to surround the resistance, halting the movement of the resistance organization.
Anno saw Lingqi and the others, as well as Fei.
As if sensing something, Fei spotted her in the crowd at a glance. His expression hardened, and he rushed towards the crowd without regard for anything else, only to be stopped by Lingqi and the others.
"You're crazy. No matter how powerful you are, there are so many of them."
Fei said in a completely emotionless voice, "If anyone dares to stop me, I'll kill them all."
After saying that, he shoved Lingqi aside and ran towards Anuo.
Seeing that he was about to draw his sword, Anno immediately knew what he was going to do and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
As soon as she came out, Zero Seven and Eleven rushed towards her, protecting Fei and leading her out of the resistance organization.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, Fei scooped her up in her arms and flew towards the Golden Palace.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Anno said in a relaxed tone, "I'm not hurt, don't worry."
Fei glanced at her and said, "Next time, let me be by your side."
“Sure,” Anno agreed readily. “You can do it yourself. Can you defy Caius’s orders?”
Fei Shen's expression froze for a moment.
Anno chuckled and said, "Look, you can't even disobey his orders, so how did you come to my side?"
After a long pause, Fei whispered, "I will."
A simple sentence, yet the tone was very firm.
Anno reached out and touched his face. "I know you've made progress. I believe in you. I will take you back to where you truly belong, back to our home."
Fei paused for a moment, then asked, "Is this our home?"
Anno smiled and said, "Yes, it's our home."
