Chapter 116: Promise "So what?" Lin Xi interrupted him,...
"So what?" Lin Xi interrupted him. "Just because your father was a space pirate, does that mean you should consider yourself a space pirate as well?"
Adamson took a deep breath and said, "You don't understand. You haven't experienced the suffering of others. How can you, a male insect, understand the hardships involved? When you first identified me as a space pirate, weren't you also prejudiced against me?"
Some words sound nice and sound good, but only the parties involved know the truth.
Adamson once asked his father why he didn't disband the pirate group. They could take their wealth and find a secluded planet to start a new life.
But his mother-in-law told him: "If you become a space pirate for one day, you will be a space pirate for the rest of your life."
Bie Chong will not believe that pirates have turned over a new leaf just because they don't want to be pirates anymore.
They have endless prejudices in their hearts. Even if the pirates do good things, they are willing to believe that the pirates are good people, but they will still reject them subconsciously.
This is the social convention, no one can change it, and Chong will not be willing to coexist peacefully with the pirates just because of a moment of kindness in his heart.
Kindness is only temporary. Once the emotion passes, nothing is left.
It's like a movie or TV show. After watching it and letting out your emotions, you still go on with your life, no matter if it's blissful or a mess.
Lin Xi's emotions were a little fluctuating, and Adamson said he didn't understand, but in fact, he did understand.
As Adamson said, some people think that since he is a male insect, he should have no worries about food and clothing since birth. But this is only one-sided. It is not that there are no exceptions, but that there are too few examples in life, or people subconsciously comment on them with a popular image.
In his previous life, disability was not Lin Xi’s fault, but when interacting with others and talking to them, he inevitably had to face them. As long as someone saw those different eyes, his expression would subconsciously change.
Whether it is kindness, sympathy, sighs, or avoidance, disgust, and aversion, they are all strange emotions.
This kind of emotion is very normal. If it were him, he would probably not be able to control it.
After living for so many years, you should get used to facing such looks, but humans are not machines, so how can you get used to it?
Even occasionally, I heard conversations like, "Is he blind in one eye?", "He looks so pitiful", "It's better not to say it, it would be bad if someone hears it", and so on. These kinds of words were not harsh, but just ordinary curiosity. At least no one mentioned the blind man.
But strange looks and words, whether well-intentioned or malicious, bring bad emotions to people and cause a slight sting, even if they don't mean it.
Lin Xi said, "Actually, you've done quite well. You've disbanded the Pirates, taking the first step towards establishing a new power and reining in your subordinates. If it weren't for Uban, you would have managed the Nameless Organization quite well."
Adamson needed an opportunity to rescue the pirates. If it were that simple, all the pirates would have turned over a new leaf.
The imperial army is not useless. Even if the pirates hide, they can be found as long as there are traces.
Most of the bugs in the Pink Skull Pirates were indeed dead, and many of them were close confidants of the previous leader. They had killed many bugs and were all desperate criminals who deserved to die.
There were also some who had disagreements with the leader. Some wanted to become leaders themselves, and some wanted to further expand their power. They all died in that cosmic storm.
Only a handful of bugs survived, and Adamson's life was exchanged for the previous Adamson's.
Lin Xi added, "I don't care about your past. If the crime you committed isn't punishable by death, I'll hire you as bodyguards when you get out. How about that?"
Lin Xi's words are spoken, and they cannot be taken back.
Adamson's brewing emotions were somewhat broken by these words, and the expression on his face froze for a moment, just like a bug that should have burst into tears, but suddenly lost the mood to cry, and the tears could not come out, and he felt quite powerless.
Adamson coughed, then choked on his own saliva. His face flushed red from coughing. He glanced at Muas beside him before reluctantly saying, "Is the military all so... selfless?"
If every female soldier was so friendly when she caught a criminal, and even found a job for him after he served his sentence, the military would probably be exhausted.
Lin Xi twitched the corner of his mouth. Don't think that he doesn't know what the other person is expressing just by changing the words. If you say he is naive, then he is naive. At least he is sweet.
However, Lin Xi still looked at Muas's face. After all, he had no property, and with his salary, he didn't know when he could buy a big villa.
He now eats, drinks and lives at Muyas's. Naturally, he has to consider the other party's mood when hiring two bodyguards.
"Wife, is it okay?" Lin Xi asked.
Muas's expression was originally a little unfriendly, but after hearing Lin Xi's words, it softened a lot.
Even if he becomes a bodyguard, what does it matter? Lin Xi only listens to him and is the only one who can control him.
"They are just two bodyguards. As long as it's your decision, I have no objection. But in the future, when you recruit insects, you still have to keep your eyes open and focus on the quality of the insects." Muas said meaningfully.
Lin Xi nodded: "There are only these two, there shouldn't be any other bugs. But this is just a verbal agreement. If he doesn't meet the requirements, we won't take him."
If they find out that they have insect lives on their hands and have committed a crime, they will definitely not take it.
Muas smiled, feeling much better. "That's true."
Adamson: "..." He really worried for nothing.
Adamson's look at Muas just now did not mean any provocation at all. Linxi is a male insect, and the two insects are so close, so Muas must be its queen.
In front of the female lord, the male insect openly recruited two female insects as bodyguards, and it was suspected that he was interested in them as female servants or female slaves. Adamson didn't mind. He could feel that Lin Xi had no other intentions, but he didn't know whether this would make the other master insect unhappy.
They just want to live a good life. With a male insect as a backer, their future will be much better.
His illness also requires the help of Lord Male Insect.
Of course, asking Mr. Male Insect to condescend to treat him was something he could only think about in his mind. Adamson had never thought of such a bold idea before.
Space pirates can rob male insects, but male insects are very delicate. Forcing them to have sex can soothe their mental power, but forcing male insects to channel their mental power rarely succeeds.
The female insects will also be afraid. If the male insects are unwilling to guide them and cause trouble in their spiritual sea, they will be in big trouble.
The leader had been captured. Lin Xi looked at Muas and said, "So we're going to wait here?"
Muyas knew Lin Xi was reluctant, but he still tried to comfort her: "It's too dangerous up there. We've already done the most important thing. Let other bugs do the small things. We have to leave some military merit for the other female soldiers."
Lin Xi blinked and felt that what Muas said was not wrong. Since they ate meat, they should also let other insects drink some broth, but she always felt something was wrong.
Lin Xi looked at the tied-up Adamson and complained in his heart that it was too easy to catch him. There was no challenge at all. If he had known earlier, he should have played with him more.
Adamson met Lin Xi's gaze and found that the other party was looking at him. He smiled friendly, but when he saw Muas's warning look, his smile froze and he quickly restrained it.
If Adamson knew that Lindsey saw him and wanted to beat him up a few more times, he probably wouldn't smile so kindly.
The nameless organization was already underground, and Linxi and Muas were even underground. Although they felt the ground shaking, the underground structure was built solidly and used the best materials, so collapse should not occur.
Just in case, they still have to escape from underground at the right time.
Muas glanced at the computer and said, "It should be coming to an end outside. Let's get out quickly."
When the situation becomes desperate, Muas is afraid that Uban will suddenly become stubborn and take someone with him even if he dies, and blow up the underground black market, and then the whole thing will be over.
Adamson was tied up, but he could still walk. Lindsey and Muas walked in front, and he followed behind.
The bug in front was walking fast, and Adamson was following a little slowly. His hands were tied, and his sense of balance was a little poor.
When Adamson accidentally fell again, Lin Xi was a little surprised: "You used to be a space pirate, right? You should be pretty good, right? Why do you always fall on the ground?"
Hearing this, Adamson felt ashamed. The other party might as well have said that he, a female insect, was not even as good as a male insect, which would have been more appropriate.
Adamson said embarrassedly, "I've been lying down for a few years, and my body is a little weak. I haven't recovered yet."
Adamson remembered that he still had to apply for the bodyguard position from the Excellency. His ability was too weak and he would definitely be rejected. In order to get this golden thigh, Adamson could not let the Excellency think that he was too useless.
"Don't worry, sir. I'll be back in two days." Adamson said anxiously.
Lin Xi scratched his head, feeling that the insect was a little weird. Perhaps it had been lying down for too long, and its mood was a little changeable.
After coming out of the floor, Muas closed the passage and found that the gunfire outside had not stopped, but the club was still intact and had not been affected by the war.
Lin Xi's mental power extended out, sensing the situation outside, and his expression suddenly changed.
Looking at Lin Xi who frowned, Muas asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xi looked unhappy: "There are still bugs guarding outside the door."
Muas also frowned.
"Is Wuban crazy? At such a critical moment, instead of sending the insects to fight, he wastes them guarding us?" Lin Xi was very confused.
Muas took a deep breath and asked, "How many bugs are there outside?"
Lin Xi estimated: "About a dozen."
Adamson followed behind, overhearing their conversation. He seemed to have guessed something, "I know this worm of Uban. Once he wants something, he'll hold on to it, even if it means death."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi really wanted to roll his eyes. Such a selfish bug was obviously not suitable to be a leader, and Adamson actually dared to give him power.
As if knowing what Lin Xi was thinking, Adamson said helplessly: "I fell ill suddenly at that time. There were no other bugs in the organization, so I could only entrust it to Uban, and I asked Ryan to monitor him privately."
He said the last sentence in a low voice, realizing that he was indeed a bit unreliable. After all, Ryan's eyes were full of him, the leader, and he really knew nothing about managing a force.
