Chapter 54 Domination I do not agree with the pheromone matching theory
The moment he heard the answer, Ji He felt himself freeze uncontrollably, as if he was lying on ice.
Although he had long anticipated that the Alpha might find a suitable Omega to spend his life with, when he witnessed this possibility with his own eyes, his despairing heart could not help but begin to burn again.
Beta lowered his head and rested his injured wrist on the control panel, as if he didn't feel the pain.
The destined Alpha and Omega are like the two poles of a magnet, with a natural attraction to each other.
These doctrines that Michael once disdained are now the reason why he needs Aaron.
"This strong attraction comes from an instinctive impulse and cannot be restrained or reversed simply by relying on reason and will."
Michael didn't think Huo Yubai would be an exception. He wanted Ji He to despair of his persistence and stand completely on their side.
When Ji He raised his eyes again, his expression had returned to normal.
"But if humans are only controlled by desires, then what is the difference between us and animals without intelligence?" Beta took a deep breath and said calmly.
Michael smiled without saying anything, looking at the computer in front of him.
He wants to shake the idealists, turn the oath of the federation into a piece of waste paper, and let the flames of imperialism burn the entire galaxy.
In this world, there are always people who do things that others dare not do.
Michael casually withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Ji He, glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "You really believe in love."
Ji He stood straight, shook his head slowly, and said, "I just believe in all the beautiful and bright things in this world."
If he no longer believes in these things, he doesn't know how he can exist.
Michael sneered at this, and suddenly felt that there was a reason why these two people could get together. At least they were both so naive that it was ridiculous.
"Really?"
"Then you'll see what happens."
Ji He pursed his lips. The virtual reality projection made him feel as if he was at this lavish banquet.
But Huo Yubai certainly couldn't see him, and he seemed not to notice the pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness.
Ji He's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he asked in a dry voice, "What do you want to do?"
The fact that Michael had spies in the capital planet was nothing, but being able to monitor the celebrity banquet without anyone noticing when the epidemic was rampant and the central area was under martial law was beyond Ji He's expectations.
The other party went to so much trouble, it certainly wasn't just for him to see Colonel Huo and this Omega lady.
Michael smiled and replied, "Nothing, just asking the colonel for something."
The central area of the capital planet is a gathering place for the rich and famous. Even though the virus has caused panic among the people, it has not prevented the current chairman from holding a banquet.
This was the first time Colonel Huo had returned to the Capital Planet since he had fled to the Icefield Planet, so his name was naturally on the list.
Alpha had no intention of attending such a party, but he went anyway because of the constant urging of others.
The man was wearing a black velvet suit and coat, and was choosing accessories.
When his fingers moved to the feather-shaped diamond brooch, Huo Yubai's eyes dimmed for a moment.
Obviously, Ji He was not by his side, but it seemed as if she was by his side all the time.
The home robot brought a smoky gray tie to Colonel Huo, but he flicked it gently, which meant he was rejecting it.
Huo Yubai lowered his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror. His cheeks seemed a little sunken than before. He reached out and picked up a white boutonniere.
The home robot's system is instilled with the etiquette culture of the upper class, so when it sees a white corsage, it will naturally detect the corresponding meaning.
If you wear a white boutonniere at a wedding, it represents pure love, but if you wear it at a funeral, it represents mourning and remembrance, which is obviously not suitable for today's social occasions.
After listening to the robot's reminder, Huo Yubai reached out and rubbed the white petals, with a vague sadness in his eyes.
"That's it."
A row of high-end suspended vehicles were parked in the underground garage of the villa complex, and countless people in beautiful clothes came up from the transparent light ladder.
“Does my makeup look good today?”
An Omega had just put on his lipstick and was talking to the girl he was traveling with.
Zhong Wenxi looked out of place among the well-dressed people. She came without any makeup and had a bare face.
"Ms. Zhong, what brings you here today?"
After briefly greeting the visitor, Zhong Wenxi walked quickly among a group of Omegas wearing high heels.
She was wearing a top, pants and flat shoes. She didn't look like she was going to a party, but more like she was wearing something for daily commuting.
"Alas, all the money invested in Michael Fund has gone down the drain."
The Omega who was speaking was wearing a long blue dress that trailed the ground, and was bending down to adjust her high-heeled shoes.
"I told you that 15% interest is not reliable. Do you really think that Min Ran is a business genius?"
Once a scam is packaged in a magnificent way, no one will think of finding out what is wrong with it. They will just follow the crowd, fearing that they will not get any benefits.
"Even the federal military was deceived, so don't be here to talk behind the scenes."
Those federal government officials naturally bought a lot of Michael's funds, but they were not the ones who lost the most.
The ones who really lost everything were the ordinary people.
They put all the money they had saved for most of their lives into the Michael Fund, but they never imagined that their hard-earned money would become fertilizer for indirectly supporting big shots.
For a time, many people could not accept the situation and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The new round of voting for the 13th Committee is imminent, and everyone is eyeing their own seats, wanting to keep the high hat on their heads.
There are people in the federal government who do practical work, but there are also many who just sit there doing nothing. Banquets like this will not stop just because a few people died, they will only become more grand.
"That must be Colonel Huo."
"I'm afraid they won't be able to run in this election."
Rumors about Colonel Alpha spread like wildfire on the Capital Star, saying that he was extremely stupid for breaking up with the Huo family and ruining his own future because of a dead Beta.
In the final analysis, it was just an attempt to squeeze the Huo family out of the Thirteenth Committee.
The fire is scorching and the flowers are blooming.
Huo Yubai stood alone on the terrace, ignoring the people behind him who were singing and drinking quietly.
"Colonel Huo?"
At some point, Zhong Wenxi appeared behind Alpha, holding a glass of wine that she hadn't drunk yet.
Huo Yubai turned his head to look at the person who came, and his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
"Yes, Dr. Zhong."
The two of them always spoke in a distant polite manner, but when they stood together they still attracted a lot of people's attention.
Zhong Wenxi doesn't like such banquets. It would be better to let her stay in the laboratory or hospital, where she would be more comfortable.
"Doctor Zhong, what can I do for you?" Huo Yubai sat down slowly, crossing his long legs.
Zhong Wenxi paused the wine glass in his hand, walked over and said, "As a doctor, since I have encountered this, I still want to remind the colonel."
The terrace where they were located was not far from the robot band that was playing music. The sounds drifted in with the night wind, enveloping the whole area.
"Although your pheromone disorder has been basically cured, your other conditions are not good."
Zhong Wenxi leaned forward slightly, and there was no ambiguity in his words. He just stated the facts, hoping to help the other party.
"You should also be able to feel that your insomnia and depression levels are getting worse. These problems will also affect your physical health."
"But you have been letting it go and ignoring it. Why?"
"I……"
Colonel Huo did not continue. He could not explain to this conscientious doctor that he just loved someone very painfully.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Zhong Wenxi nodded, feeling that this colonel was not as powerful as the rumors said. At least at this moment, the feeling that Alpha gave her was very fragile.
"Colonel Huo, I have something else to explain to you."
Zhong Wenxi cleared his throat and continued, "I don't agree with the pheromone matching theory, and I don't think a number can determine my life."
“I hope we can work together well.”
She made her words very clear and her attitude was very graceful.
Omega sat down and clinked the wine glass in his hand against the Alpha's.
The transparent crystal made a crisp sound when it collided.
She tilted her head back slightly to drink the wine, a little quickly. The wine tasted a little spicy when it first entered her mouth, and slowly a soft aroma spread in her mouth.
Colonel Huo looked at her, picked up his glass, and repeated in a low voice: "Cooperate well."
Zhong Wenxi drank some wine, revealing a pair of watery eyes. She felt her body getting a little hot. She was afraid that she would lose control after getting drunk, so she walked to the lounge alone.
In the lounge.
Omega could vaguely smell a hint of honey in the air. She lowered her head and reached for the lemonade she was using to sober up, her whole head buzzing.
The next second, Zhong Wenxi reached out and touched the back of her neck. A corner of the restraint patch had curled up without her knowing. She smoothed it out with force and prepared to leave.
"It's so uncomfortable..."
When her hands touched the golden door handle, her whole body suddenly went limp, and a certain secret desire rapidly rose in her body.
Dr. Zhong realized belatedly that this was not just ordinary drunkenness, but someone had drugged her.
How could I be so careless?
Zhong Wenxi clenched his teeth and suddenly smelled an extremely fresh cypress scent, which was the Alpha's pheromone.
"It's Colonel Huo."
As an S-class Alpha, Huo Yubai was very sensitive to any pheromones. At the moment, he was not sure which Omega had suddenly burst into passion, so he was checking the lounge.
A quick knock on the door sounded in the corridor of the double-row lounge.
The robot waiter prepared the inhibitor and followed Colonel Huo.
"Doctor Zhong."
Zhong Wenxi took a deep breath, adjusted his voice, and replied, "I'm here."
Colonel Huo stood outside the door and asked the robot waiter to deliver inhibitor to Dr. Zhong, feeling that something was amiss.
Zhong Wenxi saw the familiar Omega inhibitor, checked the batch number, scanned the traceability code with a computer, and then injected the drug.
The inhibitor stickers are no longer useful.
Without this layer of barrier, the small room was instantly filled with Omega honey-scented pheromones.
"Colonel Huo, are you still there?"
"Um."
Because the two of them were 100% compatible, Huo Yubai was also feeling uncomfortable. He just hoped that the inhibitor would take effect as soon as possible so that someone could send Dr. Zhong home.
"There seems to be something wrong with the inhibitor."
Zhong Wenxi was so feverish that he was confused. He scratched his damp palms with his fingernails and spoke out his judgment weakly.
