Chapter 35 Chapter 35 I Don’t Discriminate Against Sex
I suspect there is some kind of hallucinogenic substance in the air of Ascending City, otherwise why are all the people I meet mentally ill?
Well, although it was indeed my intention to thwart him, how could it not be his fault?
I didn't do anything, but he rushed to talk about "pheromones" and "being discovered" and so on. If he's not a psycho, what is he?
I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth and tried to look at him with innocent eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Officer Horry, are you susceptible to infection? I saw the inhibitory patch on the back of your neck."
I met his gaze calmly, my earlobes slightly reddened, and I turned my face away, somewhat awkwardly and immaturely. "I, I don't know how I can help you. But if you ask, I'll do my best."
There was a smile on Hori's lips, but there was nothing in his eyes.
But he was a master of disguise. His emerald green eyes blinked, and his exaggerated smile returned. "How about we go back to find Scott now?"
What's going on with this guy?
I was slightly taken aback and looked at him with concern. "Officer Horry, aren't you feeling unwell?"
"You mean the susceptible period?" Horry leaned back in the driver's seat and leaned against the car window.
At the same time, he tilted his neck back, showing off his excellent snow-white neck.
He raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. The contrast between the black gloves and the white neck was even more striking.
"Study hard, Xiaobai," he said with a bright smile. "Only fragile omegas are controlled by their vulnerable periods. That's why all twelve jurors are alphas."
If my character didn't allow it, I really wanted to let out an exaggerated exclamation.
You alphas still have the nerve to say that omegas are easily controlled by the susceptible period. If you have the guts, take off the suppression patch. What's the point of complaining here?
I bet that if this alpha officer dares to remove the inhibitory patch during the susceptible period, he will immediately transform into a cricket pupa and start drilling holes everywhere.
"Officer Hori, I think your words are too biased." I frowned in disapproval. "I know several omegas who are as outstanding as alphas. Their excellence cannot be defined by gender."
Betas like me, an honest person with a sense of justice, are very fair and will never discriminate based on gender.
Because I am not only sexist, I am also IQ-discriminatory, class-discriminatory, ancestry-discriminatory, regional-discriminatory, etc. Don't worry about why a little cockroach like me would discriminate, I have my own self-consistent logical system, so I also discriminate against the whole world.
This shitty world is not worthy of someone as outstanding as me.
I was very satisfied with my inner thoughts and decided to keep trying.
After listening to my speech, Horry chuckled again, as if he had heard something funny. "Your words are really interesting."
I smiled shyly and also found him very interesting.
He is an alpha, one of the people standing at the top of the pyramid, so of course he won't take my words seriously.
He is the vested interest. The vested interest is the only one who has the right to remain silent, and the only one who holds the power to speak. As long as he holds power, no matter how the people below him cry, he will just listen to it as if it were a bird's chirp, and maybe even praise the bird's beautiful chirping.
But it is impossible to really let the bird out of the cage. He himself knows that if he lets the bird out of the cage, no bird will be willing to sing for him.
The two people in the police car fell into a brief silence.
My eyes quickly glanced at him and then fixed on the file bag in his hand.
"Officer Horry, may I know why you took this file? Is it related to the case you are investigating?"
Horry smiled, and he opened the door behind me automatically. Then he pointed back and said, "Judge Scott is outside."
When I turned around, I met Levin's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
Damn, you almost scared me to death!
Luckily I didn’t eat it secretly… No, I didn’t have the chance to eat it secretly… What’s even more wrong is that I couldn’t eat it secretly at all!
Levin must have just finished the trial and was still wearing his black judge's uniform.
I got out of the car, raised my eyes and showed him a hint of surprise, but quickly lowered my head, "Levin, why are you here?"
Levin didn't look at me, but held the police car door with one hand.
After smelling the faint pheromone scent inside the police car, he covered his nose with some disgust, "Hori, if you are susceptible to it, why are you still wandering around outside?"
"There's nothing we can do. It's too tight." The blond alpha stretched out his legs after the passenger seat became vacant. "Judge Scott has his family's back, but as the youngest son, I can only rely on myself."
I stood behind Levin without saying a word, but in fact I was eavesdropping openly with my ears perked up.
When I heard what Horry said, I almost rolled my eyes.
I reluctantly admit that you have some ability, but the fact that you can transfer files as you please is because of the name "Hori", isn't it?
Alas, I am sad again.
The only one who truly relied on himself to get to the top is Bai Wuyong. As for others like "Scott", "Jane", "Hori", etc., they are all very bad Celestial Dragons.
Horry answered Levine's questions fluently, but didn't mention anything about me.
In his eyes I am not worth mentioning.
I also heard about the news about the slums during this period.
A huge explosion occurred in the slums, but the media in Uptown interpreted it as a "necessary measure to eliminate the rebel party" and repeatedly repeated the obscene, vulgar and immoral behavior of the slum dwellers in the article.
The people in Keya District had no idea that there was a slum. Even though the explosions were deafening, they just thought it was the expansion of Keya District and a military exercise, and continued to live peacefully like calves and horses.
Hahaha, is this the power of monopolizing public opinion? How interesting.
I really want to do that too.
Levine and Horry's conversation ended when the former closed the police car door in disgust.
"Let's go," Levin said.
I nodded and glanced back at the police car before leaving.
From the outside, the police car is extremely private and you can't see the people inside at all.
My mind wandered again. Even with the suppressant patch, would an alpha still release pheromones during its susceptible phase?
Useless trash, still mocking omegas, just as much trash.
So I asked without hesitation, "Levin, what does it feel like when you're susceptible?"
Levin kept walking. "Why are you asking this?"
His steps were slow and steady, neither hurried nor slow. I don't like standing behind people, so I stepped slightly in front of him and whispered, "I'm worried..."
Under his gaze, I pursed my lips and then expressed my thoughts in a complicated tone: "I'm worried that you will become like this when you are susceptible."
"Hori just said something bad. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up. I couldn't help but say something to him, and he's your friend, so I was afraid you'd be upset."
Seeing that Levin was silent, I gave up explaining again, "You don't like to hear these words from me, I won't say them again in the future."
Levin stared at me for a long time.
The time finally came to noon, and the scorching sun poured down mercilessly on the earth, making people sweat on their foreheads.
But not long after, the pillars standing on both sides of the street began to change shape, and slowly opened up into huge umbrella-like structures under the gaze of everyone.
The cold air came out of the ventilation ducts and quickly dispelled the heat from the pedestrians on the road.
Fuck the fathers of these Celestial Dragons. Even if I have seen this extravagant scene a dozen times, I will still curse them.
The lower-class people are working in the hot sky and eating popsicles that cost one dollar each to cool down, while you Tianlong people are happily enjoying the external air conditioners and parasols.
"It's useless."
I raised my eyes and put some distance between me and his drooping cheek.
He came very close and took off his glasses.
"Are you angry?" he asked.
I pursed my lips and tightened my jaw muscles to prevent myself from showing any other expression.
I practiced this angle in front of the mirror for a long time, and it definitely captures my image as a patient, affectionate, and pained honest person. Everyone who knows it will give it a thumbs up.
The omega male wanted to touch my face, but I dodged him.
"Levin, you're still outside. I don't want to..." I only finished half of the sentence.
Things like adultery should be done secretly, don't show it openly, otherwise how can I go fishing outside?
Levin's hand paused in mid-air, and soon he withdrew it.
Putting his glasses back on, he looked down at me condescendingly and taunted me, "You useless bastard, you'd better stop daydreaming about things you shouldn't have."
“No,” I answered decisively, and sure enough, I saw his defensive expression break. “After I left the ghetto, I no longer had any.”
"I just have a hard time letting go. After a while, I'll do as you wish."
Levin: “…”
You see, I'm really messed up, and you're unhappy. It's really difficult to deal with.
The air froze slightly, and the two men stood motionless at the door of the court.
People coming and going felt something was wrong and quickened their pace to move away.
I pretended I couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, so I took the initiative to ask, "Is that the case Officer Horry wants to investigate your case?"
"Yeah," Levin took over my position. "It's not a big case."
I asked curiously, "If it's not a big case, why do you need to be responsible?"
"Because the person who died was the deputy foreman's child," Levin said.
The so-called jury is an organization composed of many jurors. They do not belong to any government department in Upward City, but are directly under the jurisdiction of Baideng Bay and participate in all matters, big and small, within Upward City.
From constitutional amendments to the maintenance of public facilities, all decisions are made through their votes. If a major issue is unresolved, the jury members will report it to the White Light Bay, which will decide whether to implement it.
For example, directly blowing up the slums was an order issued by Baidengwan.
After hearing Levin's answer, I was even more confused. "The deputy foreman's child died, so how can it not be considered a major case?"
While we were talking, Levin had already taken me to his office and closed the door.
"The murderer is just a beta female from the Keya district," Levin said.
The deputy foreman's child died, it was a major case.
But the murderer is just a beta female from the Keya district, so it is a small incident that is easy to solve.
I understood a little, but then came greater doubts.
This doubt was not suitable to be raised, so I kept silent and chose to keep it in my heart.
My keen intuition made me realize that there was something wrong with this case, but due to my lack of knowledge, I was unable to detect where this aberration lay.
Tsk, so annoying. I really want to tie Levin and Olvera back to back in a cross shape and throw them on the bed to die.
However, these issues are not what I should be thinking about at the moment. For my own physical and mental health, I decided to put them out of my mind.
Levin had no interest in continuing to discuss the case with me, and instead asked about my day. "Did you have an argument with another intern today?"
I showed an expression that showed I was reluctant to talk about personal matters. I looked at him with complicated eyes, wanting to say something but stopping myself, and then said, "...Well, he and I have different ideas."
"Differences in ideas?"
"I, I'm grateful that you let me work at the court, but I don't want to rely on you for everything. He resented my presence because it exposed him to unnecessary competition, so we had a quarrel."
"It's just a small matter, don't worry, I can handle it myself."
"How can you solve this?" Levin raised his chin. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have a chance to argue with him."
What a rude thing to say.
If I hadn't worked hard, would you have put me in court? I've said it so many times, manual labor is also labor!
"Levin!" I said, feigning the anger of a man whose pride had been wounded.
Levin smiled, came to the sofa where I was sitting, knelt on one knee, and put one hand on my thigh, "Bai Wuyong, what do you have to refute?"
"You have nothing in Ascend City. What else can you do except for me to help you?"
"You could have just asked me to kick out the intern you argued with, but you still had that ridiculous pride and got angry at me. Have you forgotten that you have no right to refuse?"
"Stop trying to make me laugh with your useless ideas. It's useless. Your name is just like your class. You are both bastards."
Oh, you are scolding Bai Wuyong, what does it have to do with me, Bai Wuyin.
The man far away in Keya District, did you hear that? You were being scolded.
I am well aware of the essence of spiritual victory and never waste time on internal consumption.
If you praise me, then you are praising me. If you scold me, then it must be useless. Hehe.
Of course, for someone like me who has no principles, others can criticize me however they want, as long as I can get the benefits.
Just like the way I grabbed Levin's hair at this moment, silent but enough to pull him.
The unique cold touch of the gold-rimmed glasses irritated my skin, making me shiver slightly, so I pulled his hair harder and accidentally pulled out a few strands.
The omega took off his wet glasses and when he looked up he was startled by the face he saw in the dim light.
He couldn't tell whether the liquid falling on his cheeks was tears or something else, but it tasted salty and astringent, with a hint of bitterness when it slid down his throat.
"Levin..." The woman's breath fell on his earlobe, followed by a kiss that intensified the sensuality.
The kisses were very light and soft, and there was a long interval between each kiss, which came and went in an instant, as if she had made up her mind after thinking it over many times.
It was hard to imagine that the two contradictory qualities of aggression and timidity could be combined in a beta woman at the same time, mixing up his senses and integrating him into her body in an incomprehensible way.
"Ugh—" Levin suddenly grabbed the woman's shoulder, accidentally leaving a red mark.
The woman paused for a moment, then, driven by an offensive mentality, she raised her wet hand, pulled open his mouth, and clamped his upper jaw with her thumb.
"Levin," she whispered. "I beg you."
At this particular moment, the woman finally let go of her so-called pride and begged him, "Please consider it alms or a gift."
"Stop saying things that make me sad."
Use an offensive posture and say timid words.
She is really amazing.
So Levin could only nod uncontrollably, and finally fell into the glaring white light.
