Chapter 124 Treatment
As the fat boss spoke in panic, the glass in the lounge where Huo Xiu was shattered.
The next second, an alien with two pairs of wings appeared in the room.
He had a human body, but two pairs of wings abruptly grew on his back. The front wings were leathery, while the hind wings were relatively transparent - exactly the same as when Huo Xiu first saw him.
But at that time, Carlos' wings were electrocuted by Huo Xiu's lightning and emitted a blue-purple light, but now, his wings were broken.
Carlos has a strong healing ability, but the recovery period for wing injuries is longer than other parts of the body.
Even though he lay in the medical cabin for two hours, he could not recover as before.
The two looked at each other.
The tall, black-haired male insect opened his arms, and the next moment, a warm body crashed into his arms.
The force was so great that Huo Xiu was forced to take a step back.
"Carlos."
Huo Xiu had no choice but to stop the female insect in his arms from moving forward, and was then wrapped by Carlos' wings.
Carlos said nothing.
But Huo Xiu had very sharp hearing, and Carlos was so close to him.
His head rested on his shoulder.
Huo Xiu heard the sound of nostrils flaring and the slight whimper in Carlos' throat.
Huo Xiu reached out and pressed the back of Carlos' head, while his other hand passed through his waist.
He used a little force to make the soothing gesture more realistic.
It gave Carlos a sense of security as if he had landed on solid ground.
"Feel sorry."
Huo Xiu said softly.
“…”
Carlos didn't answer, but the sound of his nose twitching became more obvious.
His outstretched insect wings had been retracted to his shoulder blades, making his body slimmer, allowing him to squeeze into Huo Xiu's arms.
As the sound of glass continued to shatter, Harvey and Sean appeared in the lounge.
Huo Xiu raised his eyes and saw the expressions of 0.0 and OoO.
The one who was not so stupid with his mouth closed was Harvey. He was pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looking at Huo Xiu carefully.
Huo Xiu was also familiar with another female insect with a mouth, named Sean.
"Is this a real bug?!"
"Isn't he an intelligent AI?"
"Is he a robot bug now?!"
Obviously, Sean's question also expressed Harvey's thoughts, but Harvey is a smart guy. He always knows when to shut up and when to play dumb.
Carlos' emotions had gradually calmed down. He held up Huo Xiu's face and looked at him carefully.
He has a very high brow ridge, narrow eye slits, and a distinct nose-forehead angle, and is very tough and handsome.
“It’s exactly the same as in the game.”
"No, you need to look better."
"Little farmer, who are you?"
If Huo Xiu was a real bug from the beginning, his ability to hide would be too strong. Carlos almost turned the Federation and the alien domain upside down but still couldn't find him - but this is impossible. Carlos is confident in his abilities.
But if Huo Xiu is really an NPC, what's going on with his current body?
Carlos could already smell a very faint scent of pine, which was the smell of pheromones.
——The identity of Huo Xiu male insect is obvious.
But if it is a male insect, how could it appear on a garbage planet?
"It's a long story." Huo Xiu looked around and stopped at Sean, who was so tired that he wanted to stretch his ears. "Let's go home first."
Carlos liked Huo Xiu's choice of words.
Moreover, Huo Xiu's identity was not important to him at all.
As long as Huo Xiu can stay by his side, what does it matter if he is a Star Beast?
——
Harvey and Sean were left to clean up the mess.
Huo Xiu and Carlos returned to the starship.
In the familiar room, Huo Xiu told Carlos his origins in a concise manner, only omitting the system part.
"You are not a bug of this world?"
Carlos leaned on Huo Xiu, and a faint light appeared in his emerald eyes again.
"Yeah." Huo Xiu nodded.
Then he changed the subject: "Now it's my turn."
"Carlos, your spiritual sea--" Before Huo Xiu finished speaking, Carlos laughed.
He completely relaxed his body and wrapped himself around her as if he had no bones.
"Yes, I have defects. The thickness of the barrier of my spiritual sea is much thicker than that of a normal female insect. Even an S-level male insect cannot enter it to comfort me." Carlos said with a smile, but his body was trembling.
The doctor said he only had three months to live.
The worst outcome Carlos could imagine was double death—no, maybe that was a good outcome.
But he didn't expect that Huo Xiu was alive.
Alive and warm, with a warm embrace and strong arms.
In fact, Huo Xiu is a male insect.
But even if Huo Xiu is a male insect, what can he do? The barrier of his spiritual sea cannot be opened, and he will soon be completely out of control.
Death was not scary to Carlos; he had long since accepted such an outcome.
——But he was unwilling.
Just a little bit.
He was just one step away from getting...
Happy.
"So, little farmer, since I'm so pitiful, can you do it with me right now—"
"I want you."
"I miss you so much."
"Don't you want to know what dominant insect species I am?"
"I can tell you right now..."
His movements were quick, and the thin fabric tore as the main insect moved.
In the dark room, the bright green light appeared again.
And the source of that light——
Carlos swayed his waist slowly.
"My light organs were able to light up when I was seven years old. I skipped the juvenile stage that all insect species have."
So Jeremy was right, he was a lowly bastard.
Carlos smiled beautifully, his emerald green eyes lighting up faintly.
He was like the lowest female insect, begging for mercy with his most disgusting part and the most humble posture.
"Little farmer, please enjoy your meal—"
Carlos didn't want to think about the future. He didn't have one anyway.
He just wanted to be with Huo Xiu...just wanted to be with him.
Before Carlos could finish his words, Huo Xiu pulled him up and threw him into the soft big bed, and then covered his head with a quilt.
At the same time, it also blocked the light source.
At this moment, Huo Xiu finally understood why Carlos liked to curl up under the sheets when he slept.
Ome covered his eyes, his face flushed yellow as he stubbornly completed his mission. "Executor, I'm going offline. Um...you can't enter Carlos's spiritual sea directly, but you can break his mental barriers."
"But please be careful during this process! Carlos's spiritual sea is already at a rioting level, like a pressure cooker with constantly increasing pressure! If it weren't for his strong barriers, he would have died eight hundred times already."
Ome gave Huo Xiu instructions like a machine gun, and then sent him a guide to using the mental tentacles.
"After crushing him, comfort him well! I'm offline now, Executor, good luck!"
The small TV disappeared with a thud.
"Do you believe me?" Huo Xiu asked.
Carlos closed his eyes meekly.
"Little farmer, do I even need to ask this question?"
A bluish-purple light appeared in the dim room.
"It's going to hurt a little."
Huo Xiu whispered.
——
Carlos couldn't move a finger, sweat soaking his platinum hair and long eyelashes.
They were all wet and drooped limply on their owner.
Carlos lay there, unable to move.
He complained weakly, "Little farmer, you said it only hurt a little."
Huo Xiu glanced at him and took a sip of water: "I just said it would hurt."
Didn't say 'a little'.
"What you said...it hurts a bit."
Carlos used his rusty brain to reconstruct the scene from two hours ago and accurately found the adverb of degree used by Huo Xiu.
"fraud……"
"I'm going to die."
Huo Xiu corrected his wording: "To be precise, you will survive."
He reached out and brushed away the curls covering Carlos' face, and used his slender index finger to flick his trembling eyelashes.
"Carlos, you will survive."
Huo Xiu's voice was very low, but Carlos could hear the gentleness in it.
Like warm milk, like a quilt that has been dried in the sun.
But it is more solid and convincing than all of them.
The process of breaking down the barriers of the spiritual sea can be described as torture.
The blue-purple spiritual tentacles lashed at the spiritual barrier as thick as a city wall like a whip.
Carlos had a splitting headache and was in a state of atavism with each blow.
He gradually lost control.
From conscious endurance to subconscious resistance, and finally to total loss of consciousness, leaving only the body's instincts.
But one can imagine how tough Huo Xiu is. He clamped Carlos' hands behind his back and pressed his knees against his wings.
The elytra are the most vulnerable part of winged insects, even Carlos is no exception.
The spiritual tentacles continued to attack the stubborn spiritual barriers in an orderly manner.
Carlos's roars turned into sobs, and finally he realized that sobbing was of no use, so he could only whimper in the smallest voice.
It sounds so pitiful.
But Huo Xiu has a heart of stone.
He remained unmoved and continued to use his mental tentacles to pry at the cracked barrier.
Sure enough, showing weakness was just Carlos's trick - the cunning and resilience in his nature were fully exposed at this moment.
Having completely lost control of himself, he launched a final counterattack when he realized that he could not arouse the abuser's sympathy.
The outcome, of course, was suppression.
Countless electric currents rushed through his wings, and pain and fear appeared in Carlos' heart at the same time.
Carlos finally gave up and let Huo Xiu use his mental tentacles to break down his mental barriers.
"The next treatment will be in three days."
Huo Xiu said expressionlessly that he gave Carlos three days of rest based on the advice given by Ome.
Carlos's mental sea barrier was extremely stubborn. Today, he only broke a corner of it, but a look of collapse appeared on Carlos's face.
His lively green eyes were completely out of focus, like gems about to shatter.
Huo Xiu was ready to give him some time.
Just like you need to open the valve before opening a pressure cooker.
"During this period, you need to fight frequently, but the degree of atavism cannot be too high - so entering the "Godless World" would be a good choice."
Carlos needed to vent this raging mental energy.
"Or fight me."
Huo Xiu continued, saying that he was confident that he could use his mental tentacles to take down Carlos when he reached a high level of atavism.
"You are so professional, little doctor."
Carlos blinked his green eyes, he was fascinated by Huo Xiu's serious expression.
"Of course I'm going to fight you..."
He tilted his neck back, recalling the feeling of being controlled when Huo Xiu suppressed him. His whole body trembled with excitement, and even his breathing caused a slight tremor.
The signs of Carlos's "illness" were too obvious.
In addition to his eyes that could ignite ghostly flames, his luminous organs were even more eye-catching.
This female insect has no idea how to write the word shame.
He shines brightly.
"That's right, little doctor."
"Have you guessed my dominant insect species?"
