Chapter 42 Military Invitation

Pei Du did not check the message on his phone on the way, but just walked back along the route. Sheng Shixian followed Pei Du for most of the way, and when Pei Du was about to reach the villa, his figure quickly disappeared behind him.

Pei Du watched his every move. After Sheng Shixian left, he withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the villa.

The lights in the villa were not on, and it was pitch black inside. Pei Du opened the door of the villa, entered, and pressed the light switch at the door.

The room suddenly became bright. Pei Du walked inside and saw Sheng Shixian lying on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sheng Shixian opened his eyes and climbed up from the sofa. The shackles and iron chains on his hands and feet were still there, and the gag was also worn on his mouth. Perhaps he had just woken up, and there was a bleary eye in the corners of his eyes.

Pei Du walked up to him, untied the gag on Sheng Shixian's mouth, and said, "The car broke down on the way there today, and it took a long time to come back. Are you hungry?"

Sheng Shixian pinched his aching jaw and nodded pretentiously in front of Pei Du.

Pei Du didn't care. He said, "There's a new junior fellow in my lab named Ling Yu. He said he knows you. Do you remember him?"

Sheng Shixian froze while pinching his jaw, but quickly returned to normal in a few seconds. He frowned and looked at Pei Du and said, "I don't remember who he is."

"They say he's your brother." Pei Du said calmly. He stared at Sheng Shixian's facial features and continued, "But I don't think you two look alike."

"I don't have a brother." Sheng Shixian answered quickly. He seemed to remember something bad and changed his words, "I don't have any relatives either. They are all dead."

Pei Du raised his eyebrows: "You can remember it all"

Sheng Shixian said: "I can remember some."

"Then who am I? Do you remember?" Pei Du asked him.

Sheng Shixian paused and said softly, "You are my master."

Pei Du: “…”

He noticed that Sheng Shixian always liked to put his hands behind his back when he talked, so his eyes shifted over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's a little itchy." Sheng Shixian lowered his head.

"Itchy." Pei Du looked behind him, "Let me see."

Sheng Shixian hesitated for a few seconds and turned his back to Pei Du. Pei Du lifted his shirt and saw that the skin on his belt was scratched and red.

Sheng Shixian's nails were sharp and he used a lot of force, leaving red marks of blood. If Pei Du hadn't cut his nails into different shapes before, Sheng Shixian would have probably scratched his back into rotten meat.

"It's right at the coccyx, it's itchy." Sheng Shixian said in a dull voice.

Pei Du had a vague idea of ​​what was going on after he finished speaking. He pulled Sheng Shixian's pants down, and his fingertips rested on the red mark just above his coccyx. "Here"

"Hmm." Sheng Shixian felt a shudder in his heart the moment he was touched. He bit the soft flesh inside his lips and lowered his voice, "Am I going to grow a tail?"

Pei Du raised his eyelids and glanced at him. Sheng Shixian lowered his head with his back to Pei Du. His slightly curly black hair was thick and blocked most of the expression on his face when he turned his face to the side.

"Maybe." Pei Du said.

He took out the medicine box that he had left at home and found a special medicine to apply on Sheng Shixian.

When the alien species grows a long tail, it will indeed feel itchy. The new tissue is incompatible with the surrounding skin, and there will always be friction and discomfort at the beginning.

But Sheng Shixian already had a tail

Before Pei Du could think clearly, he heard Sheng Shi's envious voice again, "Only pigs and dogs have tails."

Pei Du paused as he was massaging with his fingertips, and he looked at Sheng Shixian, whose back was bent, and his figure always became hunched over when the haze rose over him.

"Things with tails can also be tigers and leopards." Pei Du said, "A tail is not a decoration. Your tail will be a weapon in the future."

Sheng Shixian turned to look at him, "You like tails"

Pei Du couldn't be said to like it either. He was an alien species that was not completely alienated, and no animal-related parts grew on his body. But who wouldn't want a long tail that could pierce through walls?

Pei Du glanced at Sheng Shi's envious ears and said, "I just want it."

Sheng Shixian turned his head again, rubbed the new soft flesh on his head, and said in a joyful tone: "Then I can consider letting you touch it later."

Pei Du: “…”

Pei Du finished applying the ointment to Sheng Shixian, and that was the end of his work for the day. He had a casual dinner without any unexpected incidents, and Pei Du spent the rest of the day studying the contents of the Black Book.

Sheng Shi's envy also subsided. He used to suffer from frequent anxiety attacks, but now he stays in the room all day and has even learned how to use a computer.

Pei Du didn't know what he was secretly doing on the computer. He occasionally passed by Sheng Shixian, and Sheng Shixian was clicking the mouse frantically in an attempt to cover up his mistake, as if he was addicted to the online version of Candy Crush.

When Sheng Shixian returned the computer to Pei Du, he had completely deleted all the search records in it.

Pei Du did not investigate further. He paid attention to Ling Yu's movements and found that there had been little news about Ling Yu since the last news report, and now he had disappeared from the public's sight as if he had become invisible.

Director Gong Yuanshen finished his overseas experimental research two weeks later. He sent a message to Pei Du as soon as he landed. The rage in his tone almost penetrated the microphone and hit Pei Du hard.

"Did you get into trouble again during the days I was away? The military is calling me like crazy! Tomorrow, important military officials are coming to the laboratory for exchanges, and they specifically want you to go. What's wrong with you..."

Pei Du listened to Gong Yuanshen's words in silence. He waited until Gong Yuanshen finished his roar before speaking: "Director, I have only been working at home and in the laboratory recently. There is an important experimental project now, and they may want to communicate with me."

"Just pretend. I don't know you yet." Gong Yuanshen guessed something. He didn't ask any more questions. He just told Pei Du, "The person who came is the commander of the military department in charge of provincial investigations. It's a high position. You have a special status, so be careful with your words, especially about your parents. Don't mention it if you can..."

Pei Du lowered his head and listened without saying a word. He felt warmth on his fingers and when he lowered his eyes he saw Sheng Shixian slowly playing with his fingertips. After amusing himself for two or three seconds, he wanted to take his index finger and put it in his mouth to bite it.

Pei Du pinched his chin and pressed down the small piece of red tongue that Sheng Shixian exposed with his fingertips. Soon, most of his finger was wrapped in the moist and hot breath.

"Go to the side." Pei Du lowered his voice. He ignored Sheng Shi's jealous frown and moved his fingertips threateningly deeper before slowly pulling them out.

Sheng Shi narrowed his eyes with envy. He rubbed his jaw and looked at Pei Du, but Pei Du had already gone to another place with his cell phone.

"Okay, Director. I will do as you ask..."

Hearing the calm voice, Sheng Shixian turned his head and sneered.
