Chapter 84 Hair
"Are you interested in history too?" Hu Yi passed by Lin Si and saw him reading the war record of the encirclement and suppression of Zhimu. "Which article are you reading?"
"'Shandi', there's very little information available on this. I don't know why it was banned."
"But I know." Speaking of his area of expertise, the little butterfly became noticeably more lively and bold. He pulled out a chair and sat down next to Lins. "The hardening of its limbs is incredibly strong. Even high-intensity laser cannons can't blast through its armor. It's like a rapidly moving fortress."
"It led the Star Beasts to conquer seven planets, until they reached their original home planet, Hofuka. It's said that it was a very difficult battle. Each generation of Beast Mothers possessed special abilities. Some strengthened their bodies through defense or offense, while others were more spiritual. However, the specific abilities of 'Shandi' remain undetermined."
"At first, everyone thought it was the most common defensive type, because its armor was indeed difficult to penetrate."
"But during the Hoover attack, the military discovered it could accurately identify the main attacking and feinting teams, and deploy them in advance. It was almost as if there was a spy within the military. However, after careful investigation, the military ruled out this possibility."
"'Shandi' has eight eyes, and usually only the primary eye is open. However, in the early stages of a major battle, its secondary eye will open once or twice, each time during redeployment. This is why some experts suspect its ability is foresight."
Hu Yi laughed sheepishly. "But that's all hearsay. After all, 'Shandi' ultimately failed. If it could truly 'foresee' things, why would it have ended up on Hofoka?"
Lins's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. "Is there a portrait of 'Shandi'? I couldn't find it on Starnet."
Hu Yi took out a pen and scratched a few times on the paper. He explained as he drew, "My drawing isn't very good. I saw it in my grandfather's materials when I was very young. It's basically like this."
The paper showed a huge star beast with a round body and dozens of slender legs. It really looked like a fortress.
Eight eyes are distributed in a circle on its head like light bulbs surrounding it.
"Hmm... I suspect this was banned partly because it looks too similar to the Spider Clan." After Hu Yi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Lins's dominant insect species was the Interspotted Spider. Although it seemed that it could not revert to its ancestral form, this was a statement that the Spider Clan would find presumptuous. "Sorry, I didn't mean that the Spider Clan looked like Star Beasts..."
"It's okay. It does have some similarities to the spider tribe, except it has more legs. It's more like a... robot vacuum cleaner than a spider." Linston paused, then laughed. "However, the Star Zhi and the Zerg may have the same origin."
"You also believe in the theory of common origin?"
Hu Yi smiled even more brightly. The theory of homology was not a mainstream theory at present, but he felt it made a lot of sense. He didn't expect that Lins had the same idea as him.
He actually found a like-minded person!
So he chattered even faster: "I think the Zerg and Starzhi have so many similarities. The biggest difference is that the Zerg can transform into human form, while Starzhi can only remain in insect form. But isn't a Zerg that has gone berserk at level V a Starzhi?"
"And our genetic similarity is incredibly high! Even the repair fluids used in Zerg medical procedures are often extracted from Star Beasts! There have even been cases of organ transplants between Zerg and Star Beasts!"
"Scientists once successfully transplanted wings from winged star beasts onto wingless Zerg. If research continues in this direction, the Zerg's combat power will be significantly improved. Unfortunately, the Zerg's mental frenzy accelerated, and it soon died... It's safe to say the danger is still very great. After all, a major cause of mental frenzy is the continuous atavism..."
"After the overthrow of the Old Empire, genetic experiments became rare. After all, it was still too against insect nature."
Hu Yi analyzed what he had seen and heard.
Lins lowered his eyes.
Therefore, the old empire had conducted genetic experiments in more than one direction.
Ashley was one of those victims.
However, Ashley's grade is too high, he stands out too much, the only S+.
Lins doesn't believe that the top management doesn't know about Ashley's situation.
Who wouldn’t want to hold such a good knife?
"Lins, have I said too much..." Hu Yi closed his mouth and carefully studied Lins's expression. This female insect always smiled, and her fangs and dimples greatly weakened the deterrent effect of her dominant insect species.
However, when he stopped smiling, his amber eyes became frighteningly deep.
It seems like if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
"Thank you, I learned a lot."
Lins smiled again, his eyes curved, and the cold pond turned into a clear stream.
"I'm happy to, I'm also interested in these!" Hu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and watched Lins leave the library.
Was it an illusion... He just felt that Lins was so scary for a moment...
Is this how the Spider Clan suppresses the Butterfly Clan?
——
When Lins returned to the dormitory, he saw a row of colorful bottles in front of Ashley.
"What is this?" Lins put his arms around Ashley's neck from behind and rested his head lazily on his shoulder.
Ashley's warm breath sprayed on the side of his neck. His Adam's apple rolled twice, and after a moment he said, "Hair."
Your hair itches.
Lins received the message accurately. He smiled faintly and said, "Hair? What's wrong with your hair?"
Ashley glanced at him sideways, wondering why Lins hadn't understood what he meant. He went over his words in his mind and realized they weren't particularly relevant.
"Itchy head." He added a word.
Now he understood.
"Is your scalp uncomfortable?" Lins still didn't understand, so he continued to ask. Then he used both hands to support himself and put his nose close to Ashley's hair. He sniffed hard, and Ashley could feel the slight coolness in her hair. "I don't find anything unusual."
"you."
Ashley frowned slightly, and a small wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows.
Your hair itches.
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Lins tilted his head.
Ashley would be an idiot if he couldn't detect that Lins was teasing him again.
He pursed his lips, curled the corners of his lips slightly downwards, and stared at Lins with his scarlet eyes.
Lins finally couldn't help laughing. He reached out and touched Ashley's hair. His soft fingertips inserted into his hair and gently massaged his scalp.
"Stupid spider."
【Why? 】
【Not an idiot.】
【Don’t like me anymore? 】
Lins almost failed.
But he was very curious to know how Ashley would react when she found out.
Very.
A fun person will never miss any fun.
But he was kind enough to give Ashley another hint.
So Lins took Ashley's hand and slowly placed it on his head.
Ashley's hands were large, with thin, bony fingertips. Lins never doubted the power they held.
It can definitely crush a female insect's head.
"Senior, touch me."
He said softly.
He likes me.
【He is acting like a spoiled child.】
My hair is so soft.
【fragrant. 】
【like. 】
The sweet and sour aroma of berries constantly conveys messages of joy.
Lins waited quietly for Ashley to discover the secret hidden in his hair.
——The antennae of the male insect.
[It smells good.]
He's so good.
【I still want to touch it.】
【What's this? 】
Lins waited with bated breath, the mixture of surprise and ecstasy must have been extremely sweet and sour.
But he waited for a moment and did not feel any [surprise] or [ecstasy].
He waited for a slightly bitter taste.
It's like berries hanging on a branch, no one picks them, and finally they can only rot in the ground.
Sweet and bitter.
Ashley's fingers touched his tentacles.
Antennae are much harder than hair and feel completely different, which spiders with very sensitive fingers will definitely be able to detect.
Lins interpreted this slightly astringent taste.
【Heartbroken】
Why is it [heartache]?
Lins was puzzled. He looked up at Ashley and felt Ashley's fingers sliding towards the back of his head, avoiding the position of the two tentacles.
【Lins is not a spider.】
He wanted to get close to me.
He loves me very much.
I should have agreed to it earlier.
I made him wait for so long.
Lins laughed.
"Senior Ashley, I put a lot of effort into getting close to you," he said softly.
The berries then become more sour.
"Can you give me some compensation?"
Ashley stared at him, then nodded.
Lins discovered that the interspotted spider is really a very lazy little spider.
Ashley barely even nodded.
"Then come closer."
Ashley did as she was told.
The two could hear each other's breathing.
Even at such a close distance, Ashley still kept his eyes open and observed Lins carefully.
He seemed to be unfamiliar with the emotion of shyness.
He is very good-looking.
【Then what? 】
He smells so good.
【I want to eat it.】
[Cannot be eaten.]
But he smells so good.
【Take a few more sips.】
Too close, the messages in Ashley's mind kept coming to Lins. They were like a thousand little spiders dancing in Lins's mind, one fiddling with the web, the other falling off.
"Close your eyes." Lins continued, his voice soft.
So Ashley closed her eyes.
His face was expressionless as always. When his eyes were closed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the six red lines looked more like totems painted with paint.
He didn't say which pair to close.
【Can I watch secretly? 】
【no. 】
Listen to him.
Lins leaned forward and took a place that rarely made a sound into his mouth.
He slowly rubbed his pointed little canines against Ashley's lower lip, as if trying to taste it.
The fragrant berries become extra juicy.
"Ashley, what else can you use your mouth for besides eating and talking?"
The words were practically spoken against Ashley's lips.
The spider, who was ordered to close his eyes, still kept his promise, and his eyelashes trembled violently.
【knew. 】
【Well enough……】
Kiss.
Lins bit Ashley's lower lip again and swallowed his unspoken answer.
