Reiner's chin was pinched, and he looked up blankly.
This was the first time Leiner had touched the male insect's hand.
The male insect's fingertips felt cool to the touch, unlike the female insect's high body temperature.
The male insect's black eyes, as deep as a magical vortex, reflected Reiner's figure.
A pressing thought popped into Reiner's mind: he wanted those beautiful black eyes to be fixed solely on him.
"If I reveal the secret, will you keep watching me?"
Yao Zu looked at Leiner, his Adam's apple bobbing:
"Tell me everything, and I will satisfy you immediately. What is the beginning of evil?"
Reiner narrowed his eyes, recalling his memories, and slowly recounted the cause of the incident.
"The breeding center has a quota for the birth of a male insect every year."
If the number of male insects born in the first half of the year is insufficient, they will activate the sex-indicating fluid in the cold storage to mass-produce insect offspring.
I am a mass-produced insect offspring, a descendant of the mantis and silverfish.
The mass-produced male insects will be sent to Aphrodite.
The female insects are sent to a breeding center for unified care.
Where resources are scarce, competition is bound to be fierce.
From the time I was old enough to understand, I began to skillfully commit crimes.
I will steal the administrators' genes, analyze them, and then use the secrets to blackmail them.
Secrets can be exchanged for food, nutritional supplements, and energy bars.
Only female insects with good physical fitness are qualified to join the legion.
I need resources to make myself stronger.
The first time I traded a secret for resources, I got a nutritional supplement worth 3000 credits. The secret is…
The dusty memories were awakened, and Reiner's hidden sins were laid bare before the black-haired male insect.
Reiner did not glorify his actions; he relied on his abilities to steal secrets, initially simply for survival.
Some habits, once formed, can never be changed in a lifetime.
Just like him, he always wanted to exchange secrets for resources.
The eldest prince of the royal family, Roderick, has a top-tier interstellar background and is certainly well-resourced, making him Reiner's top choice.
At first, he secretly moved his dormitory room to be next to Roderick's.
He wanted to know Roderick's secret, but he never found the opportunity.
Until that day.
The James craze began.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Reiner casually touched James and learned his secret.
The next day, he deliberately provoked James.
He deceived James in order to provoke Roderick.
As long as Roderick beats him up.
He would then be able to obtain Roderick's genetic fragments to decipher the secrets.
But who knew that Admiral Ulysses would suddenly interfere?
The general's appearance was unexpected.
Reiner had no choice but to lay his cards on the table and reveal his origins.
Because he was afraid of punishment, afraid of unfair punishment.
James and Roderick are new elite soldiers, powerful and well-connected.
He was just an ordinary commoner, a female soldier, and couldn't compare to them.
He had to suppress his fear and his trembling muscles to pretend to be nonchalant in front of everyone and say: I just like gossip.
He was terrified when he got home that night.
The delayed trial was like a sword hanging over his neck, ready to fall at any moment.
the next day.
He pestered James, stopping on the general's usual route to discuss the issues.
James assumed that he had accidentally touched Admiral Ulysses' skin.
But how could that be?
He had long since developed muscle memory; given the chance, he would definitely steal genes.
He deliberately ran into Admiral Ulysses.
He wanted to use the secret to threaten Admiral Ulysses.
In exchange for secrecy, they could avoid punishment.
He succeeded, the distraught general, the brain-dead James.
Everything was just right; he inherited the general's genes.
But before he could decipher the secret, the general became enraged and announced the punishment.
"James! Reiner! You two, immediately, right now, write a letter of self-criticism! Announce it over the entire fleet's loudspeaker during dinner!"
Reiner was happy when the punishment came.
He received the same treatment.
Admiral Ulysses is fair!
But the general's genes had already been passed on to him.
The secret has been deciphered.
This secret is too terrifying. He must find a secluded place to bring James to his side and fight alongside him!
In a dream.
In the pure white hall.
Reiner confessed everything, then, with his eyelashes lowered, he uttered his final words:
"Your Excellency, this is my sin."
The black-haired Yao Zu's eyes held unwavering justice. He cupped Leiner's face in his hands and solemnly pronounced judgment:
There is no natural savagery, only awe of punishment.
Only by punishing evil in a proper manner can conscience be fostered.
This time you obediently confessed everything, so I'll give you what you want.
Reiner's heart pounded when he heard this.
Ignoring the pain, his hand reached through the thorny vines and grasped the hem of the male insect's robe:
"Your Excellency, I want you to save me."
The black-haired Yao Clan member stroked the corner of Leiner's mouth with his fingers and said seriously:
"No, I never save bastards, I only judge you so that you won't make the same mistake again."
Reiner nodded, looking confused.
Then came the softness.
In the pure white hall.
The thorn cage disappeared.
Different voices echoed in the main hall.
Please use your imagination.
————————
Inside the warship.
Roderick, covered in sweat, was walking out of the gym.
Recently, Admiral Ulysses has been ignoring him, so Roderick has to go to the gym alone to train every day.
He walked through the empty passageway, adjusting his breathing.
Just as he approached the dormitory, his nostrils twitched slightly.
Roderick frowned and sniffed blankly.
Why are there female insects entering their peak breeding season again?
Roderick quickly knocked on James's door and shouted loudly:
"James! James! Are you in your hot period again?"
The motion-activated lights in the passageway lit up one after another.
The female insects, who had gone to sleep early, all woke up again.
Inside the door, James, looking miserable, got out of bed and shouted back:
"It wasn't me! I was just about to fall into a deep sleep! Why did you wake me up! My male insect has already run away!"
In less than a minute, the dozen or so female insects in the neighboring room came out one after another.
They peered through the doors, trying to figure out where the smell was coming from.
"Roderick, this time the smell is coming from the left side of your dorm room."
Upon hearing this, Roderick and James said simultaneously:
"Leiner's room is on the left!"
James' eyes lit up, and he cheered wildly, waving his arms and legs.
"Quick! Call the doctor! Give Reiner an injection too! Karma's coming back to haunt us! I never thought retribution would come so quickly!"
The female insects watching were eager to get started.
Three minutes later, the doctor arrived at the door carrying a box.
Roderick did the same thing and removed Reiner's door in ten seconds.
Everyone went inside to watch the excitement.
Suddenly, they heard Reiner's voice:
"That's when I discovered Admiral Ulysses's secret. The Admiral actually..."
Beside him, James's expression gradually changed from excitement to terror.
Damn, bro, you didn't say you talk in your sleep?! How are we going to keep this a secret?!
