Chapter 308
Sophie, who was also in the cafeteria, saw Rong Rong and Simon.
He acted as if he didn't recognize the two people, elegantly eating his lunch, completely out of place with his surroundings.
But at one moment, his gaze swept lightly and quickly over Rong Rong's red lips as she struggled to eat the chicken leg.
Everything was completely undetected.
Capital Star.
Ever since Tulls returned from Planet X, he has been absent-minded.
His life seemed normal; he still cared for his sister, completed his work, and led his subordinates on missions.
But Mandy could tell that Tulls was always distracted.
Mandy guessed that something must have happened since her brother did not bring back the Queen's head that day.
Mandy felt uneasy, as if things shouldn't be this way.
That day, taking advantage of Turs' rare day off at home, Mandy hesitated for a while before finally asking, "Brother, isn't the monster dead?"
Tulls's eyes narrowed, and he immediately retorted, "She's not a monster!"
"Huh?" Mandy covered her mouth. "You really saw it? Isn't Planet X a barren, lifeless planet? So... there really is something there..."
As soon as fear appeared on Mandy's face, Turs immediately said, "I only saw a girl, there was no monster, don't overthink it."
Tulls patted Mandy on the shoulder. "You're probably having nightmares because you've been under too much stress lately. Try to get away and relax sometime."
"It's just a pity about that girl. She was frightened by me and accidentally fell into the spatial rift. There's still no news of her."
Turs lowered his head in frustration, his face full of pain.
"She's so fragile, it's all my fault for being too impulsive and scaring her! I should have been more careful!"
Mandy could sense that her brother was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
She didn't understand why. Where did this girl from Planet X come from? Who was she? Could she be the Zerg Queen? But wasn't the Queen supposed to take a long time to evolve into human form?
Mandy vehemently denied that the girl was the queen, unable to accept that the queen had successfully escaped and had such a significant impact on her brother.
"Impossible!" Mandy screamed in a shrill voice.
"What?" Turs looked completely bewildered.
Mandy quickly replied, "That's not how it was in my dream. There were no young girls, only giant bugs!"
Brother, could it be that you're seeing things, or that the insect used its mental power to create an illusion for you?
Yes! That's it! The Zerg Queen has incredibly powerful mental abilities! That's it! It must be an illusion she created!
Mandy spoke urgently, her face beaming with excitement; she felt she had found the answer.
There was no young girl involved; it was all part of the queen's scheme.
However, Tulls did not think so; on the contrary, he was very angry.
"She can't be an insect! That's absurd! She has powerful mental abilities, but how could I not distinguish between illusion and reality?"
I don't want to hear anyone call her a monster anymore!
The Zerg are long extinct! Mandy!
You should go back to school!
Tulls's face was serious, and Mandy's heart tightened. It was as if she had returned to her previous life, to the time when she discovered the Queen's identity but no one believed her.
Now she was absolutely certain that the girl her brother spoke of was the Zerg Queen. Who else but her could possess such magic, making her wise and powerful brother appear like he had lost his mind?
As for why the other party has now turned into human form, perhaps the results of her investigation in her previous life were wrong?
"Brother, what will happen if she falls into a spatial rift?" Mandy asked anxiously, wanting to know if the Queen was still alive.
"The odds are against them; no one can withstand a cosmic storm naked."
"Really?" Mandy breathed a sigh of relief.
Turs's face immediately darkened. "You want her dead?"
"Speaking of which, we also bear some responsibility for what happened to her. She was just an innocent girl, but because of your dream and my impulsiveness, she fell into the spatial rift!"
I don't expect you to feel guilty or repent, but you shouldn't at least be gloating! Mandy, what happened to you?
Turs was heartbroken. How could his kind and obedient sister, whom he remembered, suddenly become so cold?
"Have I changed?" Mandy felt a pang of pain in her heart and suddenly raised her voice, "Have I changed? Or is it my brother who's been blinded by lust?"
Turs's face instantly turned bright red. "You're absolutely unreasonable!"
Turs abruptly stood up and left in a huff, almost as if fleeing in disarray.
Mandy looked grim, both angry and anxious. Now she could only pray that the Queen had perished in the cosmic storm.
On the spaceship.
Lieutenant Larkin received the latest news that the search for the mysterious girl had made no progress.
As usual, he reported the results to Tulls, who remained silent with a stern face.
Today, Turs was in a very low mood, clearly indicating that he was in a terrible mood.
"Is the major troubled by the young lady again?" Larkin asked.
Tulls remained silent, while Larkin understood.
After thinking for a while, Larkin finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
"Why did you send us to Planet X to kill monsters back then, Miss?"
When Larkin received the order to go to Planet X that day, all he knew was that the young lady had said there were monsters there. As for why the young lady said that, or how she knew there were monsters on Planet X, he had no idea!
His intuition told him that something was amiss.
"It was all because of a dream."
"A dream?" Larkin didn't believe it. Thinking of the girl on Planet X, Larkin felt heartache again.
Perhaps he should use some special methods to find the person.
He knew someone whose identity was very mysterious and whose strength was unfathomable.
The other person is a loner, but very trustworthy.
For a fee, you can get him to do anything; he seems unafraid of offending anyone or being arrested by the federal government.
Perhaps the other party can find the girl's whereabouts, and then they will have an answer as to whether she is alive or dead.
That night, Larkin found the person he was looking for in the most famous underground city on the capital planet.
The other person's name is Roy, and he's watching a ring match.
Roy also wrestled five years ago, but after winning the All-Federal Championship that year, he never stepped into the ring again.
Roy was wearing a pure white clown mask.
He appears indifferent, absurd, and elusive, just like himself.
Larkin knew that Roy had been looking for something, and he had it in his possession, which he could use to make a deal with Roy.
Sure enough, the other party readily agreed.
After Larkin left, Roy continued watching the game.
He really wanted what Larkin had in his hands; it was the remains of the former queen.
He didn't want to sit idly by and wait for his death. What if he became the Queen's lackey again someday? He wanted to find a way to break free from the Queen's mental control, so he desperately needed the Queen's remains.
However, he was not in a hurry to do the mission. The mission Larkin gave him was difficult for humans, but it was very simple for him.
His sensitivity to smell is beyond human imagination; it is a racial gift.
Once he has locked onto the target's scent, he can find them unless they are hiding further away than the Zerg in the depths of space.
