After that, Mei seemed to have returned to normal on the surface. At least in the eyes of others, she was no different from usual. Only Guang found that Mei seemed to have a certain change in his relationship with him. Since that confession, he found that Mei had changed. Although she still talked to him and her attitude didn't seem to have changed, Guang could always feel a cold attitude that kept him at a distance...
On the contrary, 02 is becoming more and more integrated into the team. Although the relationship between Mei and her is still a bit stiff, for others, 02 is already one of them.
However, at this moment, a group of unexpected uninvited guests suddenly appeared.
"They are 9's, members of the personal guard directly under the APE."
Seventh Sister extended her hand and introduced the teenagers standing opposite them to Fang Zheng and the others. They looked about the same age as everyone else. These teenagers wore white uniforms and smiled at the members of the 13th Squad.
"Hey, hello, Team 13."
"It's really surprising. What are the guards doing here?"
Fang Zheng glanced at the people opposite him and asked in a low voice, while the blond boy who was leading the group smiled slightly.
"It's nothing, actually. The wise man just asked us to check out the situation, especially..."
As he spoke, the blond boy looked at 02 who was standing in the crowd and glaring at them with an unhappy look. Seeing him looking at him, 02 snorted coldly and turned away. The blond boy smiled indifferently, then looked at Fang Zheng and spoke.
"Hello, nice to meet you. You must be the captain of the 13th Squad. I am very interested in you."
"I have no interest in you at all."
Fang Zheng stared at the blond boy and spoke calmly, while the latter just smiled slightly.
"That's a pity. By the way, can you arrange a place for us to live?"
"You guys are going to live here?!"
Hearing this, Mei cried out in surprise, and the blond boy nodded.
"Yes, this is also part of our mission. I think you won't mind."
"I do mind."
Fang Zheng completely ignored the blond boy and looked at the Seventh Sister standing behind him, who sighed helplessly.
"This is the order of the wise man..."
"All right."
In response, Fang Zheng could only shrug his shoulders.
"That's all that's got to be done."
While everyone from 9'S was choosing a room under the guidance of Seventh Sister, Fang Zheng immediately gathered everyone together.
"Listen carefully, everyone. You all need to be careful during this period. I suspect these guys have bad intentions."
"Is this person coming with bad intentions???"
Faced with Fang Zheng's reminder, the boys and girls looked at each other in surprise.
"Why?"
"These guys are a special unit directly under APE. If they're not going to fight, why are they coming to the Thirteenth City? Do you really think they're here to relax and travel?"
At this point, Fang Zheng snorted coldly. The top management suddenly sent their direct subordinates to the local area, either to investigate something or to stir up trouble. In short, for the local area, parachuted members from the top management are not welcome. Coupled with the sissy look of the blonde, Fang Zheng is sure that these guys coming here must be no good.
"In short, you should all be careful. Don't say anything you shouldn't say in front of them, and don't do anything you shouldn't do. To put it bluntly, don't give them the opportunity to find fault with you."
Although everyone didn't quite understand what Fang Zheng meant, seeing his serious expression, they all nodded in agreement. After all, Fang Zheng's prestige as the leader of the 13th Squad was there, and even if everyone didn't understand what he meant, they would most likely do as he said.
Unfortunately, these kids were not good at keeping secrets. Just one day later, Fang Zheng and his companions ran into trouble.
"Excuse me, can I bother you for a moment?"
When the members of the 13th team were chatting in the lounge, suddenly, the blond sissy came in with the other members of 9'S. He smiled, looked at everyone, and then took out a book.
"Does this impress you?"
When she saw this book, her expression suddenly changed, because this was exactly the "Guide to Childbirth" that she had gotten in the seaside town.
And looking at Kokoro's expression, the blond boy smiled.
"It seems that you have an impression of it. Then, please tell me what is going on. Code 556."
Having said that, the blond boy's expression suddenly became expressionless and unusually cold.
"This was found in your room. Can you tell me where you got this book from?"
"I……"
Facing the cold gaze of the blond boy, her heart couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, Fang Zheng reached out and pressed her shoulders, then stood up and stared at the people opposite with unfriendly eyes.
"We allow you to live here, but we don't allow you to rummage through other people's things like rats, blond sissy, do you know what politeness is?"
"I'm just curious why 556 has this book."
“Yes, I’m sorry…”
At this time, Xin finally spoke. She looked at everyone and started talking.
"Actually...I want to have a baby."
"Why?"
Hearing what Xin said, Yuno, Mei and Mirai were all stunned. They had all read the romance novels that they had brought back before, so they knew what a baby was. But on the other hand, the boys didn't know what Xin was talking about.
"Baby?"
"What is that? Is it some small animal?"
"Giving birth? How do we do that?"
This group of people...
Hearing the questions raised by the boys, Fang Zheng was speechless. Although boys do mature later than girls, you are not late bloomers at all... You haven't even sprouted yet!
"Why……"
However, upon hearing Xin's statement, the blonde sissy just chuckled.
"But that's something the wise men forbid, right?"
"Eh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Chunweizi was immediately shocked.
"Isn't that terrible?"
"But, but, is that really a bad thing? Because whether it's the adults now or us, aren't humans born this way?"
"Why?"
The little fat boy was shocked to hear Xin's words.
"Were we not created by the wise men?"
"No, in fact, we are just like other animals, and we have been like this for a long time. For thousands of years, creatures have continued their lives in this way. So, that... is why we are divided into boys and girls... Maybe this is my willfulness, but before I disappear, I hope to leave some kind of existence..."
I see.
Hearing this, Fang Zheng finally understood why Xin was so obsessed with giving birth to a child. He had read the internal network information of APE. Although these children looked no different from humans on the surface, just like Misaka Sister, they were forced to mature and had some defects at the physiological level, such as rapid aging. Although they were only in their teens, their metabolic rate was much higher than that of ordinary humans, which meant that ordinary humans could live to 70, 80 or 90 years old, while these children were lucky to live to 30 years old.
Speaking of which…
Fang Zheng glanced at Xin's hair.
He did see a few white hairs in it... It seems that it was because of this that Xin noticed it and read the book that he had this idea.
"Until now, I thought that we were good for nothing except flying the Franks in battle. But maybe that's not the case. We can give birth to new life and leave it to the future. When I discovered this, I felt very happy and joyful, so..."
However, before Xin could finish her words, a cold voice came.
“That’s disgusting.”
Hearing the voice, Xin turned her head in surprise, only to see the blonde sissy staring at her with a look of disgust.
"You're disgusting."
"Why?"
"This is so boring. The so-called reproductive function is something that humans abandoned during evolution. If we deny this, everyone, male or female, will be constrained by gender again. This is the incompleteness of humans..."
"boom!!"
However, before the blond sissy could finish his words, Fang Zheng swung a punch and hit his delicate face. The next moment, the blond sissy was knocked away.
"X?!"
Seeing this scene, the members of the 13th team screamed immediately, while Fang Zheng put one hand on Xin's shoulder to block her behind him, while staring at the blonde sissy lying on the ground.
"So, you are the ones who are neither male nor female, right? Perverts?"
Staring at the 9'S team members in front of him, Fang Zheng opened his mouth and revealed a hideous and cold smile.
"People like you who are neither male nor female are truly disgusting. To be honest, just seeing you makes me want to vomit. What the hell are you? You are neither male nor female. Just looking at you makes me feel sick. You are just like a group of bugs. No, you should say they are single-celled organisms, after all, bugs can be divided into male and female. And you...what the hell are you?"
"you……!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the blonde sissy stood up with her face covered, staring at him coldly.
"So, you mean to disobey the orders of the wise man?"
"So what?"
Fang Zheng looked at the blonde sissy with disdain.
"Look at you. You have nothing. You are fragile and incompetent. You know nothing. That's why you obey the orders of those old immortals like puppets. Without them, you probably wouldn't even know how to breathe, right?"
"Don't speak ill of dads!!"
Hearing this, the blonde sissy suddenly jumped up and threw a punch at Fang Zheng. At the same time, Fang Zheng spun around and kicked him in the face. Then the blonde sissy flew out of the lounge like a cannonball.
"Listen up, bastard."
Fang Zheng clenched his fists and stared at the people in 9'S in front of him.
"Now, get out of here immediately, otherwise you will never leave here again."
“…”
Faced with Fang Zheng's threat, the blonde sissy stood up silently, covered her cheeks, and stared at Fang Zheng.
"This matter will not end like this. We will tell the wise man."
"If you lose, you'll just go back and cry and tell your parents. You're really a bunch of useless bastards."
Fang Zheng didn't care at all and sneered.
"You can go, but you have to remember, blond sissy..."
Having said this, Fang Zheng stared at him.
"You have made a choice and you must bear the consequences, and this consequence... may not be something you can afford."
