Chapter 114 Going Crazy
Huo Xiu had heard this sentence once in the morning.
However, the tone of the two times was completely different.
"You guys... know each other?"
Kang Mang was a little dazed. He looked at the female insect opposite him and felt that she looked familiar for some reason.
However, the next moment, the female insect with platinum hair appeared in front of him.
His slender five fingers turned into sharp weapons, and in an instant, he pierced two bloody marks on Kang Mang's throat.
If Huo Xiu hadn't reached out and pulled him, his head would have been pulled off.
Kang Mang usually fights in mecha battles and rarely engages in close combat, let alone using such a ferocious killing move.
He covered his wound, still in shock, and slippery blood continued to flow out from between his fingers.
"Kaka."
As soon as Huo Xiu opened his mouth, he saw Kaka's eyes became brighter, as if two balls of phosphorus were burning in them.
He stopped attacking Kang Mang and turned around to face him.
The wings behind Kaka flapped violently, and he approached in an instant. The edges of the seemingly fragile, transparent wings now had a sharp metallic luster.
His movements were so fast that they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.
A fierce wind whistled towards him, and Huo Xiu raised his hand to block it. Kaka's bloody fingers had sharpened, and if they had grown another inch, they would have pierced his eye sockets.
Huo Xiu frowned. This fierce attack was completely different from the previous fights in the garden.
Huo Xiu noticed that Carlos's mood was unusual.
His eye color changed—
The next second, Huo Xiu's hands were empty.
Not far away, blood suddenly spurted out of Kang Mang's chest.
"Fuck, you're the one on the leaderboard!"
The golden bugs were wearing expensive armor, but those expensive purchases did not seem to provide any commendable defensive power.
He looked down at the fingers piercing his chest.
Kaka pulled out his bloody hand and watched Kang Mang, who was declared dead, turn into data and disappear on the ring.
Then he looked up, a smile on his face, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"You are angry, little farmer."
He said as he moved closer to Huo Xiu.
Huo Xiu still had no expression on his face, but the corners of his lips were turned down.
This subtle change made Carlos's anger intensify.
The next second, Huo Xiu felt the wind passing by his ears, and Kaka's long arms had already wrapped around his neck from behind, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand slid from top to bottom, across his Adam's apple as if teasing.
His sharp nails were as cold as the tip of a knife.
The cooled blood crawled down his throat like a wet, thin snake.
"Little farmer, I really don't want you to die."
Huo Xiu frowned, but didn't attack. He just grabbed his flailing hands and said, "What are you crazy about?"
"hehe."
Kaka tightened his arms and pressed his whole body against Huo Xiu's back. The air he exhaled when he chuckled rudely went into Huo Xiu's collar.
"Yes, I am crazy." He smiled even sweeter, his voice lingering like the whispers between lovers.
"Hate crazy people?"
"Little farmer, hurry up and get serious." Kaka tilted his head, his tone a little cruel and innocent, "If he dies, he might really die."
Because Huo Xiu is different from other players, death may directly clear his data.
Blue-purple lightning slithered around Huo Xiu like a snake.
Carlos flapped his wings and hovered in the air.
He looked at the black-haired male insect surrounded by thunder energy and raised the corners of his lips: "Yes, that's right."
At this time, there were only Huo Xiu and Carlos on the field.
Huo Xiu raised his right hand, and thousands of lightning bolts rushed towards the female insect in the air like sharp swords.
The bluish-purple electric current hit Carlos's transparent wings, and he dropped it without hesitation.
The edges of the wings that were chopped off by the master himself still glowed with blue light from the electric shock, and Carlos had already appeared in front of Huo Xiu.
Despite the severe pain, the corners of Carlos' mouth were still raised.
The next second, tiny arcs of electricity intertwined in the air to form a huge electric net, wrapping up Carlos the entire insect, and then instantly pressing him to the ground.
With a loud "boom".
The ground of the training ground sank, and cracks spread out in a spider web shape accompanied by blue-purple lightning.
In the center of the depression, Huo Xiu pressed one knee against Carlos' chest and clamped his throat tightly with one hand.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Carlos' mouth, staining his lips darker.
"This level of thunder energy isn't powerful enough, little farmer." He smiled, but the depth of his eyes was hard to discern. "You could have just smashed me to ash, so why did you show mercy?"
"What are you crazy about?" Huo Xiu stared at Carlos with his deep black pupils and asked in a deep voice.
This time the tone was even stronger.
Carlos was always eccentric, but today he was even more so.
He felt his chest begin to vibrate beneath him.
Carlos laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and even choked on the blood in his throat and started coughing violently.
Seeing him like this, Huo Xiu released the hand that was holding Kaka's throat.
Carlos suddenly stood up and bit Huo Xiu's lips hard.
His movements were so fast that before Huo Xiu could react, he felt the taste of blood spreading in both of their mouths.
Very fishy and sweet.
The blood is warm, but the lips are cold.
Huo Xiu pushed him away violently.
Carlos propped himself up, licked the blood from his lips with a smile, and looked at him with his green eyes like a wolf.
"Don't you know what I'm doing, Huo Xiu?"
——
Since that day, Carlos has never been online again.
And Huo Xiu did not enter the companion system.
He was weeding and planting vegetables in his garden, and everything seemed the same except for the scabbed wound on his lip.
Until this day, there was a knock on the door of Lily Garden.
This was strange. Ever since he woke up, no insects had knocked on that door. The outer missions of Lily Garden were always very difficult, and most players had to climb over the wall in a hurry to enter.
As for Carlos, knocking on the door was even more impossible.
When Huo Xiu opened the door, he saw a strange female insect standing outside.
He was a little thin, wore a pair of plain glasses, and looked gentle and refined.
After seeing Huo Xiu, he first brushed his right hand across his left shoulder and bowed slightly, and then explained the purpose of his visit.
"Sir Huo Xiu, excuse me for disturbing you." The female insect handed a stack of cards to Huo Xiu. "This is a card that allows you to enter companionship mode."
"Who are you?" Huo Xiu asked.
"Excuse me." The female insect saluted again, "Havi Balk, we have met once."
When he mentioned this, Huo Xiu remembered that there was a female insect wearing plain glasses on Carlos's starship.
They met once.
Huo Xiu looked at the thick stack of cards in his hand. Some of the prop cards had a picture of a black kitten, some had pictures of mechas, and some had Q-version black-haired figures.
Harvey duly explained, "The companion mode in Godless World is usually initiated directly by the player. However, given your unique situation, we've created a prop card for you. The pattern on the prop card represents how to enter companion mode."
At this time, the power of "money" came into play - fortunately, Carlos asked to acquire part of the shares of Star Company, otherwise this kind of apology with ulterior motives would be difficult to complete.
Harvey never imagined that one day he would become a matchmaker—and he would have to break the dimensional wall to do so.
In order to connect this thread, he also has to register a game account.
"But the cooldown time is set uniformly by Euphemia and cannot be changed."
"He also asked me to bring you a message." Harvey's voice was very steady. "He won't be on the starship anytime soon."
"So if you don't want to see him, please choose the physical mecha."
"...There's one more thing, maybe I shouldn't say it." Harvey paused for a moment and decided to say something good about Carlos.
"He has secretly acquired a research institute and wants to create a bionic robot. However, his requirements for realism are too high, so the project is still underway."
"Even the chip that connects to the mecha wasn't made by Starry Sky Company."
"He started planning this a long time ago."
"I'm not telling you this to take credit for the leader."
"But I tell your Excellency that he is not good at this."
Carlos understood the ends and the means—but the motives behind these actions were unclear to him.
Care and love do not exist in his world.
Harvey left after he finished speaking.
From beginning to end, he never set foot in the lily garden.
——He is a very smart female insect and has been following Carlos for a long time.
Neurotic, suspicious, jealous and terrifyingly possessive.
He knew exactly what kind of a bitch Carlos would become when she fell in love.
——
"Did he agree?"
Carlos looked at Harvey, his emerald green eyes were a very beautiful color, but Harvey knew that was a sign that he was losing control.
The flames burning deep in his pupils were not an illusion.
But something that really exists.
"Mr. Huo Xiu accepted the prop card." Harvey replied.
But to be honest, he didn't think that Lord Huo Xiu would use those cards.
That male insect is completely different from the male insect in reality.
He didn't seem like an NPC who had just developed self-awareness. Harvey had observed him and found that although he lacked common sense about the Zerg, his personality was stable and sound.
Even more than most real-life bugs.
Carlos said nothing, then slowly moved his somewhat stiff green eyes.
“…He doesn’t know how to use it.”
He seemed to be talking to himself.
"Chief, you can go see him," Harvey said in a steady and calm voice. "Mr. Huo Xiu doesn't seem angry."
Huo Xiu even asked him for his private insect terminal number.
However, Xavi concealed this fact, for no other reason than that he thought Carlos would cause trouble because of this incident.
Those green eyes locked onto him.
Harvey got down on one knee.
"You are the female insect that Lord Huo Xiu has been in contact with for the longest time, and you are also the first female insect to discover and accept his existence."
Harvey was the bug that followed Carlos out of the Palmer family, and he knew what he had been through.
He sincerely hopes that Carlos can be happy.
“Although I don’t know what happened between the two of you…but you are different to Mr. Huo Xiu.”
Harvey has checked the background data and found that Mr. Huo Xiu has been in the garden these days and has not gone out.
Maybe he was waiting for Carlos too.
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Carlos and then stepped back.
