Chapter 22: Holding her in his arms, a strange and sour feeling passed through my heart...
Second Legion
"Sir, do we need to wait?" Anseno asked.
"Of course not." Oliver narrowed his eyes. "Take him to the Deep Sea Interrogation Chamber and let the interrogators interrogate him."
"Yes." Anseno nodded.
But when Anseno was about to push Kerry forward, he felt his fingers burning, and the intense temperature made him subconsciously retract his hand.
"Let him go." A cold voice came, and the white cheeks of the silver-haired female insect had a light luster in the dim light. His appearance was exquisite and dazzling, so perfect that it seemed like a sculpture by God.
However, at this moment, this elegant and unparalleled face was filled with endless coldness.
Oliver looked at Lanrod in surprise. He didn't expect Lanrod to come so quickly.
At this speed, he probably dropped everything and rushed over as soon as he saw the news.
Glancing back at the pretty face of the black-haired female insect, Oliver raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "What is His Highness Lanrod doing? We are just following procedure and taking him to the deep-sea interrogation room."
When he heard the words "deep-sea interrogation room", Lanrod's gorgeous and narrow eyes narrowed with a chilling coldness.
The Deep Sea Interrogation Chamber is where the Empire interrogates the most severe prisoners.
Legend has it that as long as you enter the deep-sea interrogation chamber, even a dead person can be made to speak.
"This is my man, and the First Legion should handle it." Lanrod looked at Oliver coldly and said.
Oliver curled his lips and smiled: "Your Highness, we found the person, so we have priority."
As soon as Oliver finished speaking, he felt the air around him suddenly change. The next second, Carrie, who was originally behind him, had fallen into Lanrod's arms.
The black-haired female insect was held gently and delicately in Lanrod's arms. His jet-black hair fell on both sides of his cheeks, making him look very well-behaved.
Carrie felt chaos all around him. He was drowsy and his eyes were only slightly out of focus.
Suddenly, Kerry felt his whole body soften, as if someone was hugging him in the most gentle manner.
There was a cool and pleasant scent at the tip of her nose, and Kerry had never felt so at ease.
Trying hard to open her eyes, Carrie saw an elegant and smooth jawline beneath the delicate silver hair. Her fair skin gently touched the soft hair, and together with the faint light, it created a breathtaking beauty.
His consciousness fell into a daze again, and Kerry burrowed into Lanrod's arms in a daze, as if only in this way could he feel a little safe.
Lanrod hugged Carrie gently. When he saw Carrie rubbing him gently, his heart felt sour and happy, and he felt soft to the touch.
"Your Highness Lanrod, what do you mean?" Oliver frowned.
Lanrod hugged Kerry tightly and looked up at Oliver. "This is someone from my First Legion. I will handle it personally."
Oliver narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is the person we found in the E69 star field. You have to know that most people would be digested into dregs if they entered the belly of the alien beast, but he survived. Isn't that strange?"
Anseno stood behind Oliver and explained, "Your Highness, in this situation, the priority is to consider whether Kerry is related to the alien beast. Sending him to the deep-sea interrogation room is the best way to deal with it."
The deep-sea interrogation chamber can be said to be the most terrifying interrogation chamber in the empire. The interrogators there even have the right to forcibly invade the spiritual realm. As long as it is something they want to explore, there is nothing they cannot find!
As for the injuries to the person being interrogated, that doesn't matter.
Lanrod looked up at Oliver and Anseno, then leaped into the air, being more cautious for fear of disturbing Kerry.
"If you have any objections, you can report them to your superiors," Lanrod said.
"You!" Oliver chopped his foot in anger as he watched Lanrod disappear.
Anseno pursed his lips: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Oliver's eyes were cold. "Then just report it to your superiors. Our procedures are in compliance anyway."
Anseno nodded. He looked up at where Lanrod had left and said, "His Highness Lanrod treats that female insect differently."
Oliver sneered: "It's more than just unusual. Who have you seen him hug?"
Anseno pursed his lips: "But...that black-haired female insect is really pretty."
Oliver glanced at Anseno and said, "Yes, she looks pretty, but what's the point of being pretty? After all, she's a female insect, not a male insect."
"Okay, let's go. I have to report what happened today!"
private ship
Lanrod carried Carrie in his arms and quickly came to the medical cabin. He looked down at the unconscious Carrie, and his heart felt soft and gentle.
The black-haired female insect was lighter than he thought, even its skeleton was slender.
Too thin.
With a trace of heartache in his heart, Lanrod gently placed Carrie in the medical cabin and removed the restraints on Carrie's wrists.
The medical cabin on Lanrod's private ship has the most advanced technology available, and common injuries can be detected and repaired.
【Detection start】
The silver-white medical cabin shone with a metallic luster, and the detection light swept across from top to bottom.
【bite--】
【Testing completed, weak.】
The medical hatch opened automatically, and the detection light was completely turned off.
Lanrod looked up at Kerry's test report and breathed a sigh of relief. There was no other trauma, mainly physical and mental fatigue, and he would recover as long as he had a good rest.
Using the medical cabin, Lanrod provided Carrie with basic energy replenishment. Now all she had to do was rest well.
Bending down and carrying Carrie out of the medical cabin, Lanrod came to his own lounge and then carefully placed the black-haired female insect on his bed.
Lanrod looked at Kerry's closed eyes, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.
How can you be so thin?
Lanrod thought.
In the past, Kerry’s military uniform was too loose and you couldn’t see anything.
But when the loose clothes were taken off, all that was left was a slender body.
Inside the medical cabin
In the darkness, Carrie watched the fragments passing by, feeling his brain was overloaded.
What are these, what are these?!
etc,
who I am?
right!
I'm Carrie.
Countless fragments of light dissipated in an instant, and they turned into stars, rushing into Carrie's body with gentle force.
After an unknown amount of time, Carrie woke up from her coma.
The long black eyelashes moved, and Kerry gently opened his eyes.
What caught my eye was a face so perfect that it was breathtaking, so exquisite and rich that it was impossible to find any flaws.
Kerry was stunned. He looked at Lanrod who was sitting beside him on the bed.
Lanrod seemed to be asleep, his eyes lightly closed, his soft silver hair spread out, softening his cool and extremely handsome face.
Kerry thought that Lanrod hadn't rested for a long time, and there was a faint blue color under his handsome eyes.
This light blue color is very conspicuous on the fair skin of the silver-haired female insect.
Carrie stared at Lanrod blankly, and countless memories began to return. He remembered being swallowed by "Void", and also remembered being found and being sent to the deep-sea interrogation room.
Her long eyelashes moved slightly, and Kerry thought of Lanrod's extremely gentle hug.
Lanrod's body temperature was obviously cold, but he felt very warm.
He looked up at Lanrod's sleeping face. Perhaps because he had to look after him, Lanrod's sleeping posture was not comfortable.
He supported his head with one hand and with the other...
Kerry's eyes slid down and he saw that Lanrod's other hand was very close to him, only a few inches away from his fingers.
His breathing became lighter, and Kerry moved his left hand as if possessed, lightly rubbing Lanrod's slender fingers.
The body temperature of the silver-haired female insect is still cool.
Looking up at Lanrod, Carrie saw the silver-haired female insect's long eyelashes move slightly, but then returned to calm.
It must have been a long time since I had a rest.
Kerry thought.
As his eyes passed over the graceful profile of the silver-haired female insect, Carrie never thought that he would be able to see Lanrod again in this life.
After all… he thought he was dead.
There was suddenly a void in his heart, and Kerry thought of the scene at that time again.
Is he sad?
Maybe a little.
Is he scared?
Maybe a little.
A strange and sour emotion passed through Carrie's heart, and he looked up at the silver-white ceiling.
After an unknown amount of time, Carrie heard a slight rubbing sound.
"Are you feeling better?" The cold voice was soft, and there was an amber light in the silver-blue eyes that Carrie had never seen before.
But before Kerry could answer, he felt himself being gently embraced.
Lanrod's strength was very gentle, as if he was hugging a fragile treasure with endless cherishment.
Kerry's long eyelashes trembled for a moment, then he gently raised his hand and hugged Lanrod back.
The silver-haired female insect had a slender and strong waist, and her soft silver hair fell on Carrie's neck like the finest silk.
"I'm sorry." Lanrod held Kerry's hands tightly. His cold breath hit Kerry's skin, making her shiver.
"...Sir, you just did what you should do." Carrie smiled.
Lanrod hugged the ground tighter, as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would lose the most important thing.
"Carrie..." Lanrod rubbed Carrie's neck, and her soft, silky silver hair fell down, carrying a cool and pleasant scent.
After an unknown amount of time, Carrie let go of his hand and said, "Sir, I can't breathe."
The black-haired female insect curved her eyes, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
"Sorry." Lanrod loosened his grip, distanced himself from Kerry, and lowered his eyes to look into those star-like eyes.
With pity in his heart, Lanrod said, "You need to rest well."
Kerry pursed his lips: "Sir, you too."
Kerry could see the fatigue in Lanrod's eyes, a fatigue that was difficult to conceal no matter what.
"Yeah." Lanrod looked at Kerry for a moment, then lowered his head and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Kerry was stunned.
Since he came to this world, he has almost always lived on nutrient solution. At first, he drank the lowest grade nutrient solution. Later, after joining the military academy, he began to try nutrient solutions of different flavors.
After all, natural food here is expensive, and unless you are a male insect or an upper-class family, few people will eat natural food.
Compared with nutrient solution, natural food has richer nutritional value and is easier to digest, but their production process is complicated and they are difficult to purchase.
Therefore, as strong female insects, they mostly drink nutrient solution and rarely eat natural food.
"Are you talking about the taste of the nutrient solution?" Kerry asked tentatively.
Lanrod shook his head slightly: "You are too thin. Natural food will be easier to digest."
Kerry was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
He remembered that military women who ate natural food were usually considered pampered.
After all, on the cruel battlefield, being able to drink a sip of nutrient solution is already a luxury.
