World Four
The 'I didn't' was not loud, but it was clear, and the firm tone in Wilson's voice when he said it was equally clear.
Arisa really didn't know what the other party was trying to do at this moment. Was he trying to relax and let down his guard? Impossible. Wilson and he graduated from the same military academy, and they were so familiar with each other. There was no way Wilson didn't know what kind of Zerg he was.
So it was profitable? But apart from his identity as a mid-level male insect, what else could he possibly be that would allow Wilson to treat him, a captive, with such gentleness?
Arisa couldn't understand.
Wilson had walked to the door of the room, then lowered his head and aimed his eyes at the square on the door.
Just when Arisa remembered that the other party used his eyes to unlock the door, and was even thinking about gouging out Wilson's eyes to unlock it, she heard Wilson's unusually calm voice from above: "More than just eyes." It was as if he knew what he was thinking.
Arisa then continued to watch Wilson place his hand on the box.
——Very good. Arisa didn't panic when Wilson discovered her plan. She even continued to think to herself. It seems that she will have to cut off Wilson's hand when the time comes.
"It's more than just fingers," Wilson said again.
Just when Arisa was about to ask "Are you not done yet?", she saw the machine above start to scan Wilson's entire body.
"—Confirmed female," the emotionless electronic voice said. "You have permission to leave. Please wait."
The door opened after the electronic voice finished speaking.
Arisa glanced at Wilson. Although the nutrient solution containing anesthetic ingredients made it impossible for him to do even a simple action like raising his head, he still tried to control his facial muscles and gave Wilson a sneer: So you were waiting here to laugh at him.
"There aren't many males in the Star Pirates, so they're very valuable here too." Wilson saw Arisa's sneer and explained, "That's why all the doors in the starship require females to open, and they have to be alive."
Great, now there’s no way to escape.
Arisa doesn't think she can handle a male insect.
Wilson carried Arisa away, naturally attracting the attention of other Zerg in the aisle.
Arisa's expression didn't change at all as the Zerg came closer; he was used to their gazes. Besides, he couldn't use any strength right now, and couldn't just beat them up like he'd hoped. So, he might as well just stay put in Wilson's arms.
"...Is this the male Zerg that caused our starship to be damaged like this?" When a Zerg said this, he wanted to get closer to see what the male Zerg looked like.
But as he approached, his eyes met Wilson's, and the second half of his teasing fell through his fingers, turning into a dry laugh. Wilson's eyes, staring at him, contained no emotion, but he was absolutely certain that if he dared to get any closer, this high-level female insect would kill him without hesitation.
High-ranking females were like males in the Zerg community—rare and precious. And this cadet before him was a high-ranking female, one highly valued by their leader.
Of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to go up to her.
He had been in the Pirates for so long, but he had only seen such a look when the boss's male insect was seriously injured.
Although this female Zerg is very smart and knows how to assess the situation, it is not common to see Zergs who know how to assess the situation.
Just as Arisa was thinking, 'Are all the Zerg in this space pirate world so indifferent to the existence of male Zergs? Don't they even know how to be a little curious?', a male Zerg suddenly came close to her, almost touching her face. Arisa couldn't hold back and immediately let out an interstellar curse.
Because the other party, like Wilson, was also a Zerg he was familiar with.
This familiar Zerg was now looking at him with a completely different gloomy look than before. Then he looked at Wilson and asked in a tone that sounded like a question: "Wilson, why did you take him out of there? Don't you know that the presence of male Zerg will affect the other female Zerg?"
Wilson stopped.
He still held Arisa in his arms, but his golden eyes turned directly to the Zerg that both he and Arisa were familiar with. "Gayel, I don't know when you became a sub-female, or when you became a female like me."
"According to you, the male insects on this starship should stay in the room all the time and not come out, right?" Wilson asked.
In this pirate group, the male who can be recognized by other female pirates must have experienced many battles with them, and that means he has already given his life to them.
The accusation Wilson put on Gayel was so big that the other Zergs who knew Wilson was trying to stab Gayel couldn't help but look at Gayel.
"That's not what I meant!" Being stared at like that by other Zerg, especially pirates, Gayel immediately began to panic, his previous questioning tone dissipating. "I just wanted to say that his position is still unclear! It would be dangerous for us if you rashly let him out!"
Arisa didn't say anything, he crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
He knew Gayel because he was also a federal military academy student he was familiar with.
But the other party is different from himself. He didn't get in through exams, but was thrown into the military academy by other Zergs in Gayel's family.
The reason was that when other Zergs were teaching their own female Zerg a lesson, the other party directly pushed the male Zerg away, stood in front of the female Zerg, and fought with the female Zerg.
This wasn't a big deal, after all, it was an internal matter within the Gayel family. But it wasn't a small matter either, because when Gayel was questioned about it, he not only dismissed it as a big deal, but also made the strange statement, "No female insect should be treated like this; they're human too."
Putting aside the female Zerg's powerful self-healing abilities, Gayel's actions alone would lead the other Zerg to misunderstand that he was related to the beaten female Zerg. And the inexplicable word "human" in his words made the more intelligent Zerg realize that something was amiss.
However, Gayel's family was wealthy and powerful, and they did not intend to abandon this male insect, so Gayel was thrown into the military academy by his family.
However, after being thrown into the military academy, Gayel did not restrain himself at all, and even became worse.
The other party was spreading his opinions in various places, saying that male and female insects should be tied together one-to-one, which made Arisa, who was at the same level as him, feel confused.
Because if we really follow Gayel's method, then the only ones that can pair one-on-one with male insects are probably high-level female insects.
So what happens to the lower-level females? Like the higher-level females, they too will go into a mental tragedy. Furthermore, there are far more low-level females than high-level ones. If they don't receive the comfort of males for a long time, there's no guarantee they won't do something that harms the entire Zerg system.
Arisa, a male insect in the same grade as Gayaru, had also heard his self-righteous and idiotic declarations up close.
However, his behavior was different from that of other male insects. He did not keep his distance from Gayel, but instead approached him with a very sympathetic attitude.
Wilson once asked him why he did what he did, and Arisa's answer was: "I have to keep an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything that is detrimental to the Federation."
He planned to place the bomb under his own nose so that he would not be unable to extinguish it in time if something happened.
This battle was only between the Federation and the Empire, so there weren't many male insects on the field. Arisa looked at the file that listed the names and positions of the other male insects. There were only a few male insects on it, and Gayel's name wasn't on it at all.
So why is the other party here?
And the other party spoke to Wilson in such a familiar manner. What exactly was the relationship between Wilson and Gayel now? Arisa didn't know, but he decided to overthrow Wilson and did this because there might be another hidden reason.
He must be extremely vigilant.
After all, Gayel had just mentioned 'we'.
"It's none of your business." Wilson said to Gayel, then turned and left. "Gayel, stop meddling in my business."
"You know exactly how I feel about you!" Gayel was stunned. He was furious. "You know exactly how I feel about you! I can give you the position of a legitimate lord! And I promise that I will only love you forever...worm!"
Arisa had no idea what the new word "love" was, but the other person's tone clearly pointed in one direction, and he knew what he meant even with his knees.
Arisa's memories were suddenly brought back to the time when she was in the military academy because of this sentence.
He was talking to Wilson at the time and discussed what kind of Zerg they would eventually marry.
He still remembered that Wilson said to him in a very serious tone: "I want to be your female insect."
Arisa thought for a moment and said, "If you earn enough merits, I can reserve a position for you as a lord."
Wilson seemed to Arisa to be an overly upright female insect. She wasn't as devious as other female insects, nor would she try to seduce him.
This formal attitude is more to Arisa's liking.
——But when Gayel said this, the matter ended there.
Arisa didn't think any female insect could resist the temptation of being with only one male insect.
He opened his eyes and met Wilson's gaze.
He looked at Wilson, whose forehead suddenly began to sweat, and this time he curled up a genuine sneer, then turned his eyes away and closed his eyes.
"That's enough, Gayel!" Wilson turned his head this time and spoke word by word, "What on earth do you mean by all this?!"
"What on earth do you want to do!?"
Because of anger, black insect scales like broken grains even grew on the edges of his cheeks, and irregular silver insect patterns appeared on his neck. Those insect patterns continued down his neck, and it was not difficult to see that they extended all the way into his chest.
The pressure from the high-level female insect mercilessly engulfed Gayel whole at this moment.
Gayel was originally a low-level male insect and had no ability to resist at all. He was forced to kneel down by this pressure.
The female insect next to her took great pains to prevent herself from kneeling down as well.
Fortunately, he was not one of those hated by Wilson, and even more fortunately, this was not Wilson's complete insect form, so he actually managed to hold on under the pressure of the high-level female insect.
"Don't let me hear that again." Wilson said to the kneeling Gayel, "I have never been interested in you. I never was, I never will be, and I never will be."
He strode away with Arisa in his arms, leaving Gayel staring at his back with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Gayel knelt for a long time before he completely broke free from the high-level pressure from the female insect.
He supported his knees and slowly stood up.
The space pirate who had watched the whole thing wanted to go over to comfort him, but immediately moved away after meeting Gayel's cold gaze.
And Gayel also left, but he did not go to his room, but to the room of the pirate boss.
He put his hand on the door, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to knock.
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
The huge iron door opened, and the female insect Feide sitting in the main seat smiled when she saw him.
"Thanks to you." Fide opened his arms towards Gayel, "Many female insects have accepted our invitation."
Gayel didn't respond to him, he could smell the scent of something just done in the air.
Even though he concealed his expression well enough, Fed could clearly see the disgust in his eyes.
"What do you want from me?" In comparison, Fide's emotions were much better concealed. His expression remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed the disgust in Gayel's eyes.
"Wilson took Arisa away," Gayel said. "He's defying your authority!"
Fide didn't quite understand how this had anything to do with his own authority. After all, Wilson had asked him before he wanted to take Arisa to the room. But he certainly couldn't say that, because he still needed to use Gayel.
So a smile spread across his face: "I know, I will teach him a lesson, don't worry."
Having said that, if the other party was smart enough, he would not have continued asking questions, but Gayel obviously did not know what it meant to quit while he was ahead.
Because he stared at Fed and asked, "Why not teach Arisa a lesson?"
"Why do you think I should teach him a lesson?" Fide's patience was running low. "He went from being a promising cadet to being a captive of our pirates. Isn't that an insult?"
"Male insects shouldn't have the right to act so recklessly!" said Gayel.
Fed's smile deepened. "Okay, I know what to do. You can go back first."
Gayel wanted to say something, but Fed raised his eyebrows at him: "Unless you also want to do something with me? Well, actually I am a little interested in you." The kind of interest that wants to kick you.
Gayel was stunned for a moment, then he immediately turned around and left after he came to his senses, not wanting to say a word, as fast as if he was running away.
The door closed again, and a handsome pink-haired male insect emerged from under Fed's desk.
"What do you think of him?" Fed asked the male insect.
"I think he's an idiot," the male replied, "and he seems to think we're idiots too."
"This is a double-edged sword." Fide hugged the male insect in front of him, "Do you want to do it again, my lord?"
"Don't come now," Leslie in his arms gave him a sweet smile, her tone gentle, but very firm as she pushed away the hands on her waist, "Why don't you go do something with him? I see you seem quite interested in him."
Fede: ...Damn it.
