Chapter 143: Undercurrent Delerhi is already useless...
Xirui followed Atalan and the rebels to continue attacking other galaxies, so later on, his contact with Delshi faded.
But with Elmer around, Xirui could still hear the news from time to time.
I heard that Link and Delxi got married and got their marriage certificate very quickly, held many banquets, and invited many male insects. Soon after, Delxi became pregnant.
Later, I heard that Link was particularly happy when Delxi became pregnant.
However, there was a time when
There is a rumor going around that the banquets Link hosted were actually to attract some male insects to invest, and that the underground banquets used all kinds of improper means and methods that were disgusting.
There was also an arrogant male insect who said that he slept with Delshi, but just two days after he said it, he was assassinated by someone unknown.
It was rumored that this male insect had once coveted Delshi, but he was just talking nonsense when he was drunk.
In any case, the Link family's public relations team does spend a lot of money and is very efficient. This rumor only appeared for a day or two and then disappeared immediately.
Although the family Link inherited was not on the main star, it was financially strong. Now it had sided with the rebels and had been providing financial support to them, so Link had always had a good reputation.
Due to strategic needs, everyone was dispersed, and Xirui basically followed Atalan all the time.
Elmer often ran around, and if he could see Xirui, he would tell Xirui about Delexi's situation.
After hearing that Delxi was pregnant, Link became very concerned and was keen on looking for all kinds of "pregnancy-preserving drugs" for Delxi. Some of the prescriptions he had never seen before, but it was obvious that they were indeed time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, Link had a good reputation among the rebels.
However, Delshi's physical condition is getting worse and worse. I heard that she also has mental problems. Even the level of the female insect is declining. It seems that this insect egg is constantly draining all the energy from Delshi.
Atalan had been keeping an eye on Delshi, but he couldn't find anything no matter how hard he tried. Link's superficial work was too good.
Everything seems normal.
Everything seems to be fine.
Xirui really had no impression of Link. Maybe he had seen him when he jumped to the gathering planet, but Xirui didn't know Link, so he just took a look at him. There was nothing special about him, so he didn't pay much attention to him.
But Xirui didn't know.
Link, however, has been keeping an eye on Xirui.
That is, the male insect Cerie who suddenly appeared beside the leader of the rebels.
There are two male insects in Link's family this generation. Link is a male insect born to a slave raised by the owner of the family. He was brought back to the family when he reached adulthood. The other male insect is nominally Link's younger brother, named Lin Ruixi.
It is said that the brothers have a bad relationship, but they both look alike, especially their promiscuous head of the family.
However, few people would associate Cerie with Link. After all, Cerie appearing next to Atalan is too dazzling.
Originally, Lin Ruixi was going to compete with Link for the position of family head, because they were the only two male insects in this generation. But for some reason, Lin Ruixi disappeared inexplicably when he went out for fun before, and he didn't even show up for the competition, so the position of family head fell directly on Link.
In short, in the past two years, the name Cerie has become the right-hand man of the rebel leader.
But at that time, all the changes, all the seemingly reasonable and calm appearances, were actually undercurrents.
——
The residence of the Brahma sect.
The dark metal walls reflected the cold light, and the air in the huge hall was so stagnant that it was almost suffocating.
A completely enclosed metal box was escorted up by several soldiers. The heavy box made a dull thud when it landed on the ground, as if it contained some secret that could not be revealed to anyone.
Fanpai leaned on the high seat of the viewing platform, his long legs crossed, his fingertips caressing the rim of the wine glass absentmindedly.
The amber wine swayed slightly in the glass, reflecting the faint smile at the corner of his lips.
"Report to the Admiral, the items have been delivered."
A soldier stepped forward, his voice tense, clearly wary of what was in the box.
Fan Pai chuckled, his eyes lazily scanning the metal box. "Link from the Rebellion... did offer an interesting gesture of 'sincerity'."
He raised his hand and gestured, "Open it."
The moment the lid of the box was opened, a cold smell of medicine mixed with a faint smell of blood spread out.
The top layer was a tightly folded strategic deployment map, which was enough to cover the entire floor of the room when unfolded. And below it—
Curled up at the bottom of the box was a female insect.
The long gray hair was scattered in a messy manner, covering most of the face, revealing only the thin jaw and bloodless lips.
Delshi's hands were bound behind his back with specially made metal shackles, and his joints were bruised from long-term restraint.
His body was slightly curled up, and his abdomen, empty after giving birth, formed a sharp contrast with his skinny limbs.
The soldier took a step back suddenly. Apparently recognizing Delshi, he was so frightened that his throat rolled: "This...!"
Seeing this, Fan Pai chuckled and stood up slowly, his military boots making a clear sound as they stepped on the metal floor.
He looked down at the female insects in the box, then suddenly raised his foot and stepped hard on Deleshi's cheek.
The soles of his shoes rolled over his cheekbones, pressing the once high-spirited face into the shadow at the bottom of the box.
"Do you recognize him?"
He spoke in a frivolous tone, as if he were talking about a rare toy.
"Deleshi, once the rising star of the Orthodox Army, later became a traitor."
It was a harsh remark, but Deleshi did not react.
His pupils were dilated and his gaze was piercing the air empty, as if even the sense of pain had been stripped away.
There was a pearly white scale pendant hanging around her neck, which also looked particularly dull.
Over the past year, the so-called "pregnancy-maintaining drugs" provided by Link had already drained Delshi's vitality - those drugs were not for prenatal maintenance at all, but were poisons that forced the energy of the pregnant body to be converted into insect eggs in the abdomen.
His level plummeted, his mental core was on the verge of collapse, and now only a hollowed-out shell remained.
From the very beginning, Link was attracted by Delehee's status and high rank.
He saw Delshi as a mother, one that could produce high-level male insect eggs.
So Link blindfolded Dresi and invited other male insects to "join the cooperation" and produce insect eggs to cover up the fact that Link's fertility was impaired.
Fan Pai increased his strength and rolled twice more. Seeing that Delxi under his feet still had no reaction, he withdrew his foot without interest.
"Tsk, that's boring."
He curled his lips and casually threw the wine glass to the servant beside him.
"Throw him into the animal pond. My little darling...it's time for a treat."
The soldier swallowed, then stepped forward and dragged Delshi's arm.
The body was terrifyingly light, like a skeleton covered with skin, and it didn't even struggle as it was dragged.
His gray hair fell down, revealing the dense needle holes on the side of his neck, which were shocking on his pale skin.
Delech is gone.
Completely useless.
So, Link really played a good game of chess by going around in circles, and got the best of both worlds.
After using Delshi, he would "deal with" Delshi, and then he could use marriage to bind the next target.
For a guy like Link, the position of Queen is just a temporary one and anyone can sit in it.
Fan Pai sat back on the high seat, propped up his chin and looked in the direction they left, with a hint of cruel expectation in his eyes.
Two years ago,
Fan Pai began to like raising snakes. Later, he went to that planet specifically and caught several giant pythons, feeding them one by one.
Fan Pai felt disgusted by the giant python at first, but later he felt excited at the sight of blood.
Feed all the guys he dislikes to such a disgusting python!
How comfortable!
Link of the rebel army and Fanpai had underground dealings before, and they had also made deals before - Fanpai helped Link kill his competitor Lin Ruixi, and Link would send Delashi to Fanpai after using him.
Now, Link said with certainty that Cerie, who was standing beside the rebel leader, was the surviving Lin Ruixi.
Fan Pai didn't know whether it was possible or not. In fact, to him, the truth was not important at all whether Cerie was Lin Ruixi or not. What was important was that he had to settle all the new and old grudges with Cerie.
In the past two years, Link has basically won over the hearts of the people and put on a good show by leveraging Delshi's status and social circle.
This time, the Fan faction cooperated with Link to kill Cerie.
Then wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.
——The revenge from two years ago has been delayed until now, and it’s time to avenge it.
"Report to the Admiral!"
The soldier walked back into the hall, his face pale and sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he had just escaped from some terrifying place.
His voice trembled, and he didn't even dare to look up at Fan Pai. He just stared at the ground, as if the shadow of the animal pond still lingered there.
"That...that female insect, once thrown down..."
He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling.
"There's nothing left to see. I guess there's not even a bone left."
The soldier felt like a thousand horses were running through his mind. He was really afraid of snakes!
Fan Pai was leaning on his chair, his fingertips slowly tapping the armrest. Upon hearing this, his eyebrows slightly raised and he smiled with interest:
"Oh? My little baby has such a good appetite today?"
It was obvious that the soldiers were truly afraid of snakes—their cold and slippery scales, their silent movement, and even more so, the terrifying feeling of being crushed and eaten in the next second when their scarlet vertical pupils stared at them.
“I-Is that so…”
He responded dryly, his voice so hollow that it seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
The soldier couldn't help but recall the scene just now -
The water in the animal pond was dark and turbid, so bottomless that one could barely see it. One could only vaguely glimpse countless winding shadows swimming underwater.
Those snakes usually coiled themselves up, biting each other, and following the law of the jungle, but the giant python in the deepest part was the only one that always looked high and mighty, and looked down on other prey.
But today, it moved abnormally.
The moment the gray-haired female insect was thrown in, before the water surface even had time to splash, the pitch-black snake tail broke through the water like lightning and wrapped around his waist and abdomen.
The giant python's scales shone coldly in the dim light, and the tightening force was so strong that one could almost hear the sound of bones dislocating.
It seems like I found some particularly delicious food.
Then--
Dragged into the abyss, never to be seen again.
The soldier shuddered and dared not think about it anymore.
Fan Pai seemed to be in a very good mood and waved his hand lazily: "Okay, go down."
Finally, the soldiers, as if pardoned, saluted and retreated hurriedly, their steps so hurried that they almost looked like they were running away.
Silence returned to the hall.
Fan Pai picked up the wine glass and shook it gently. The amber wine reflected the meaningful smile on his lips.
"There's going to be another war."
“So exciting.”
