Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Wow, frog!
"Why are you back alone? Where's Albedo?"
The man in purple armor said, "The Albedo of this world doesn't have a deep hatred for Benjamin at this time. He won't help us."
"So Albedo won't be coming this time? What a shame! I really like his sense of humor. He's much funnier than the one in my world."
Said the black-haired boy in the black shirt.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if you let him out?"
"No, Albedo and Benjamin are almost always at loggerheads in every world. If I release him, he'll definitely go after Ben Tennyson and the two Time Walkers that Annoying Conflict has brought in from that world. This will give us a huge advantage."
"Is it really necessary to go to all this trouble?" the young man scoffed. "The people in that world are younger than us, using watches two generations below ours, and they have very little experience. They can easily win, so why are they so wary?"
"As for the two Time Walkers called in for support, one is an incompetent with a bit of cleverness, and the other is a rookie who can use a little magic. They're so pathetic that it makes me laugh. If it weren't for the fact that you can't exclude the Time Walkers, neither of them would be worthy of appearing before us."
"Dr. Maodun wouldn't just pick anyone. Age and experience aren't the only criteria for judging combat effectiveness. We've all learned that lesson before."
The man said seriously.
"Dr. Mao Dun can't just pick people randomly, and he's even directly seeking outside help this time. This cosmic dimension is the result of a deal between Mao Dun and another organization dedicated to maintaining stability. Its own time and space are inherently stable. The members and partners of this organization, comprised entirely of Time Walkers, are not to be underestimated. I told you so."
"'Ben Tennyson' is no slouch either, but so what."
The boy smiled maliciously.
"No matter what achievements I make or how much growth I achieve in the future, whether it's for humans or the universe, if I die before I reach maturity, I won't be able to do anything. A dead person poses no threat."
.......
Bellwood City is warm all year round, but Albedo's words still gave the three people in the room goosebumps.
If Albedo wasn't lying, being able to cross such a long distance to pull Albedo out of the heavily guarded cell and throw him to the besieged planet of Gavin...this creepy ability is indeed worthy of Azmis giving Benjamin tutoring overnight.
"Looks like I guessed right?" Albedo saw the three people's expressions turn ugly, and the depression in his heart almost dissipated. He said kindly, "If you ask me, you don't have to despair too much. This can be considered a good thing."
Benjamin said dryly, "For you?"
"I won't deny that if I ever heard you were killing yourself, I'd definitely order a couple of chili fries and indulge. But that's not what I'm talking about."
Albedo snapped his fingers and said.
"If the person who did this is your enemy and you are still alive and well, it proves that person is now powerless against you. If he is not your enemy, then what are you afraid of?"
He had clearly said this before coming to Earth. He and Azmis both knew that there would be a major crisis concerning the survival of the universe, which was why he decided to activate the replica Omnitrix.
Benjamin also asked Azmis and got a positive answer, but he didn't even remember it now. Looking at his silly look, he must have forgotten everything.
What the young earthling named Li Hua said was absolutely right. This guy is truly an invincible giant idiot in the universe.
Albedo: "I guess you guys just sensed that something big was going to happen, so you came to calm me down, right? You don't have to give such high-sounding reasons up front, just be straightforward. Although I won't help you, I don't want the universe to be destroyed either. That wouldn't benefit me."
"Not entirely," Li Hua said. "Besides what we discussed earlier, Jason also wants to offer you an offer and invite you to join him in rebelling against his staid mentor."
Jason: "I didn't, I'm not you, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Hua, why are you shaking everything out loud?
That's just one of my fantasies about traveling to outer space after I graduate from college. You should at least wait until I get into college!
Albedo looked happier, and this time he adopted the conversational style familiar to mature professionals. He said to Jason, "Then you can just say it directly. After all, I'm such a genius, it's normal for someone to want to poach me. Oh, and he just mentioned that your mentor is also very old-fashioned? Maybe we have a lot in common."
Jason had thought of a lot of things to say to lower Albedo's psychological defenses, but in the end, the other party gave it to him for free: "......"
No, wait a minute, so Albedo is this kind of talkative person when he's not crazy?
Or is it the influence of Li Hua's DNA?
Benjamin had mixed feelings.
Jason, how come you came to Bellwood and not only poached my teammates, but also my enemies so quickly?
Is this the retribution for me letting you and your family go so many times in the DC Universe?
At this time, Li Hua looked up at Albedo and said, "Albedo, let me make it clear that what I am going to say next will not involve any racial discrimination, interest discrimination, personal cognitive discrimination, or other emotions. I simply want to ask you - do you Gavin people really eat insects?"
After arriving in this universe, because Azmis and Jason wanted to dig Albedo later, Li Hua used plumbing equipment at Kevin's place to check the information of the Gavin people.
Put aside the fact that the Gavins were tadpoles when they were young, had two brains and two sets of thinking systems, could not fight because of their small size, and had a bloody history of being enslaved before the development of technology, what Li Hua cares about most now is their "insectivism"!
"That's not offensive. We do eat, but we can also digest Earth food." Albedo asked, "You want to know about the ecology of the Galvan people?"
Li Hua pleaded, "No, I mean please don't use my body to catch bugs and eat them."
"Of course I wouldn't do that. What are you thinking?" Albedo said, "You are a primate. Would you lose your mind and climb a tree when you see wild fruits? I'm not a barbarian."
Li Hua had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Albedo continue:
"Besides, you Earthlings have very fragile stomachs and poor immunity to parasites, so consuming wild insects is very risky. Furthermore, given Earthlings' energy consumption, eating insects is simply not sustainable."
So you wouldn't eat bugs in a human body, you just don't have to?!
Jason: "Please don't eat domesticated insects, at least don't use Li Hua's body to eat them."
Li Hua: "It's okay actually, just don't eat in front of me."
Benjamin: "You don't have to accommodate Albedo like this."
"It's normal for each race to have different food cultures and preferences. Not to mention aliens, even foreigners eat insects. Anyway, Albedo is using that body now, he will definitely not let himself get hurt by eating it."
Li Hua felt that not allowing the Gavin people, who have insectivore nature and social culture, to eat insects was as torturous as not allowing northerners to eat noodles or southerners to eat rice.
Anyway, it wasn't me who was using the body at that time, and I couldn't kill anyone by eating it. If Albedo wanted to eat it, just let him eat it. Just think of it as getting the achievement for myself.
"And to be honest, I've also eaten silkworm pupae, bee pupae, and unshed cicadas. They're all considered insects. It feels a bit hypocritical to only give them to me and not to him."
Jason: "Then why didn't you eat Benjamin's grandfather's special dish last time?"
Li Hua: "I ate something stir-fried or fried. It looked more palatable, and most importantly... Kevin vomited. Why would I eat something I already knew was unpalatable? With that in mind, I might as well try some Chinese medicine."
Although it may be a bit unfair to Mark to say this, Li Hua insisted: As a dish, as a kind of food, being unpalatable is the original sin.
However, Albedo might indeed accept Mark's raw food. The insectivorous Gavins are definitely not as resistant to live insects as humans.
Mark would also probably be happy that someone finally understood his culinary preferences.
So Albedo stayed here temporarily.
Of course, as a person with a criminal record, not everyone welcomes Albedo, such as Kevin who was once stuck on the wall by Albedo.
Kevin, upon learning that Albedo was actually living in Li Hua and his group's safe house, rushed over as soon as night fell: "I have no problem with your truce, but are you crazy? Living under the same roof with a former gangster?"
Kevin and Gwen both knew that the three of them planned to talk to Albedo and reach a peaceful truce, so as to eliminate a powerful enemy before the war.
So after receiving the call saying that they had convinced Albedo, Kevin and Gwen did not go there.
But if Kevin knew that this would be the result of his "persuasion", he would have rushed to the scene no matter what.
The earth is so big and there are so many houses to live in, why does a former villain and gangster like Albedo have to live under one roof?
Albedo, who was busy eating at the time, looked up from his spicy chips and used Li Hua's face to retort Kevin: "You have more criminal records than me."
If someone else asked this question, Albedo might be angry, but Kevin Levine?
Compared to himself who escaped from prison in a confused way, Kevin was a real prison escapee, and he had previously been in a prison for serious criminals.
Kevin: ?
I asked one person and another person answered... Why does this development seem so familiar?
"No way? Could it be..."
"Albedo" smiled a bright smile that could give Kevin goosebumps: "Yes, I'm Li Hua, and he's Albedo."
Kevin found that he seemed to have become somewhat accustomed to Li Hua's unexpected actions: "...What's the reason this time?"
If I remember correctly, it seemed like it was just exchanged from an alien body yesterday, so why was it exchanged again today?
Oh, that's not right.
Although Albedo's soul is that of an alien, he does use a human body. Li Hua may not feel any psychological burden when switching bodies with someone of the same age, race, and gender.
Li Hua said: "At that time, Jason and Ben's conversation with Albedo only achieved a double explosion effect, both physically and psychologically. So I had to use some unique conversation techniques."
Kevin: "Whose serious conversational skill is swapping bodies with your enemy? Where did you learn this conversational skill from? From the next universe?"
Jason:........
Jason: "I'm sorry, but our universe isn't to blame."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Albedo gets along pretty well with everyone except Benjamin from his own universe.
What? Why not include Azmith?
Albedo put up with Azmis for years before he rebelled. In that respect, he can be considered a legendary Greninja.
