Chapter 73 Endless Learning Journey (10) Jinjiang Exclusively Authorized First...
Surrounded by Ani's breath, Ling Xiao slept for a long time.
He just wanted to take a break, but fell into a dark dream. A deep sleepiness penetrated into his mind, and her remaining breath soothed the pain of the plants that were thirsty for light.
This was probably the most defenseless sleep Ling Xiao had ever had since he joined the hunting mission. So much so that when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't tell the passage of time.
…It’s really the end.
There was a faint warmth left under the cloth, Ling Xiao's eyes were blank and his expression was not revealed.
The vines that could tie someone up at any time and dig their roots into solid concrete actually gave me the illusion that I would fall from a great height. This sense of falling into nothingness made him feel dazed, but also made him gradually regain a sense of reality.
She hasn't come back yet, leave now.
Ling Xiao was trying to crawl out carefully when he suddenly heard the sound of the dormitory door opening. The rustling sound of snakes moving and very light footsteps came into his ears. His whole body suddenly stiffened, and he stopped making any sound, trying his best to reduce his presence.
The python nearly killed him. The giant python's dark green eyes brought some psychological trauma to Ling Xiao.
"Where did she go?" A soft and cold voice sounded.
The sound seemed to be able to penetrate into one's bones, bringing with it a damp and cold breath.
"You..." She She paused and turned back in surprise. Her snake tongue hissed twice, collecting information from the air. "You actually spoke."
Standing in front of her was Luo Rou, wearing a red veil and embroidered shoes.
Luo Rou placed her hands neatly in front of her body. Her wedding dress was embroidered with bright red mandarin ducks. A drop of dark blood splashed in the mandarin duck's eyes. After being hanged, her long tongue stretched back into her veil, making a rare sound.
She She rarely saw the resentful classmates speak up, but Ani seemed to be very popular with these classmates. She hesitated for a moment and said, "She went to the school clinic."
"Are you sick?" Luo Rou asked. But her moist voice made this concern sound like a pry.
"It's just that there is a difficult classmate. She is more helpful, you know that." She She said, "She really should let me eat his food. I can't eat the food in the cafeteria for a whole day--"
Luo Rou's long tongue made a sticky licking sound inside the veil, and she seemed to be savoring the taste of the snacks that Annie fed her.
The sound was quite subtle, but Ling Xiao, who didn't dare to come out, could hear it clearly. He felt nauseous and tried his best to lower his breathing to avoid any noise. However, as his stomach twitched, his abdomen, which had been uncomfortable for the past few days, began to swell and ache slightly.
The pain is not obvious, the main feeling is fullness.
He didn't actually eat anything, but the inside of his empty body was shaking like a raging sea. Ling Xiao subconsciously covered his lower abdomen, covering the thin piece of skin and flesh with his palm.
In his narrow ovary containing seeds, there is a round and slightly elastic egg... This was left in his body by the tentacles, it belongs to Ani. Ling Xiao didn't understand her race and knew nothing about this egg.
It broke its usual calm and, like a hungry little animal, sucked the seeds that were pushed to the edge of the ovary into the membrane.
He shouldn't be able to feel this.
But damn, he could vaguely feel it!
Ling Xiao bit the back of his hand, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. He tried his best to suppress himself from making any sound.
The thin layer of sweat seeping from his forehead wet the roots of his hair, and physiological tears wet his long eyelashes. However, the more he endured, the more Ling Xiao felt that this round little ball was beginning to devour the other seeds.
The nucellus of another ovule was swallowed.
The pain is not intense, but what is intense is the extreme swelling and numbness. Ling Xiao's teeth bit the back of his hand until it bled. He closed his eyes, curled up his body, and refused to make any sound.
...Why is it...moving...
Did she say anything like that? ……child? ...Don't be ridiculous...
The egg absorbed his seed into the membrane, it grew a little bigger, and then moved noticeably under Ling Xiao's palm. The ovary actually cannot accommodate an egg that is much larger than a seed. Its body seems to have been broken open and stirred, trying hard to give the egg some space, but it still cannot move.
A rich aroma burst out. Ling Xiao couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed in the corner of the bed, unable to muster the energy to escape.
The conversation in Dormitory 404 stopped and he was noticed. But Ling Xiao didn't have the strength to escape. His body was drained, the tears that soaked his eyelashes mixed with a thin layer of sweat, his cheeks were burning, his heart was beating erratically, but his hands and feet were cold.
He thought, he couldn't help making a sound even when it hurt so little, he must have been... protected behind me for so long.
He wasn't like this before. He was very patient and could endure hardships. When no one cares about you, you have no right to feel wronged, and you will not feel that it would be better if someone was there when you feel incompetent.
Luo Rou obviously heard the noise. She walked closer to Annie's bed, touched the ladder to the upper bunk on the edge of the desk, and moved her covered head, wondering if she could see.
She asked, "Is there anyone alive?"
She She said: "It has always been there."
As the snake woman spoke, she had already stored more information in her mind.
"You didn't eat him." Luo Rou said.
"That's her stuff." She She is very good at demarcating territories for any creature weaker than herself. She naturally thinks that everything written on her recipe book is "food", and food is naturally stuff.
Only when they are as powerful as Annie and the vengeful spirits who are too powerful to be eaten, will She She consider them "people" and companions she can look at on an equal footing.
"Things?" a damp and cold voice asked softly.
"Let's store food." She She said according to her own understanding.
Luo Rou seemed to think this answer made sense.
Since it was Ani's reserve food, she stopped thinking about checking. She doesn't like strangers, and she dislikes men even less, but judging from the smell alone, Lingxiao is more like a potted flower kept on the windowsill of Dormitory 404, with a stronger plant scent.
The two of them no longer paid attention, but the sound of their activities continued to be heard slightly.
Ling Xiao continued to endure the sourness and fullness with trepidation. He pulled open the hem of his clothes, and his slender and soft waist touched her quilt. He endured it and took a slow breath, and the air mixed with the smell of tentacles entered his lungs.
He couldn't see it in a dark place, so he could only feel the egg under the thin skin with his hands. His fingertips could feel its elastic texture... Its presence was too strong, and another ovule was wrapped in it.
Ling Xiao curled up into a ball, buried his face in his knees, and his sweaty hair hung down. He felt that he should... No, not should, he would not bear fruit this year.
In addition, an inexplicable panic tugs at my nerves.
Every member of the vine tribe will conceive her own child, and will nurture seeds and cultivate young vines, but this is hers, from an outsider. This is unprecedented, and he doesn't know how to face it.
……what to do?
-
The school doctor came in.
The moment the doctor walked in, Moka's grip on her arm suddenly intensified. He popped one eye out from beside Ani's shoulder and looked at it, stammering, "Its head... its head..."
The doctor has a human appearance, but with a huge hypnotic clock on his neck. It is about two meters tall and is wearing the male faculty uniform on campus with a white coat on the outside. The pendulum of a clock is swinging slowly from side to side on its "face".
"It's an alien head." Ani pulled his hand off. "What's so scary about that?"
"How can it not be scary? Your hobbies are too weird, obviously very scary." Moka refused to let go, sticking to her, and continued to speak in a hoarse voice, "I know you are famous for your complex tastes, and you are interested in getting any race you see, and you fall in love with more than 300 men a year... But this is really not okay, it's really scary, don't get involved with him and leave me aside... Look at me, what am I doing, this is what I really think!"
Ani pinched her nose, and the veins on her forehead twitched slightly. She said, "Just be quiet."
"I don't want it. Please don't abandon me. I'll be scared to death... wuwuwu."
Ani grabbed his collar and tightened it like a dog. He choked and coughed for a while. His tail curled around her legs. He raised his eyes, his lips trembled, and he became obedient.
Moka's eyes accused her strongly, hoping that her eyes could make her feel guilty. Although the doctor only has an alien head on the surface - but maybe there is an alien under his clothes as well. Her tastes are not that broad, right?
The school doctor looked at the two of them.
He moved his head, and the pendulum swung back and forth a few times, the amplitude becoming slightly lighter: "Classmates, what are you doing here?"
The sound was like that of a rusty clockwork toy, with the sound of metal and rust rubbing against each other. Apart from the special tone, it is actually very normal.
Ani pulled Mokara to her side and said, "He's not feeling well and was frightened. We're here to rest. We'll leave soon."
The school doctor walked up to Moka, and the little succubus's pointed ears tilted back, with a nervous look on her face.
"Are you scared?" the school doctor said, "You'd better go and have a look. It's not good to go back like this. What do you think, classmate?"
It asked Moka.
The pendulum of the clock swung left and right, right in the little succubus's line of sight. Moka leaned towards Ani, wanting to agree with her and leave right away, but when the words came to his lips, he said inexplicably: "Yeah, let's... let the doctor take a look."
Ani glanced at him.
Moka snapped back to reality, eyes wide in shock, expression that said "What did I just say?"
Ani frowned, and their eyes met for a second. She looked at the school doctor, and the doctor in a white coat was also looking at her. Although he had no face, she felt a subtle smile from the swinging of the other's pendulum.
The doctor grabbed the little succubus' arm. The succubus had never gone through a formal coming-of-age ceremony, and still had the immature body of a nineteen-year-old, so he was immediately pulled over by the doctor.
Ani paused and let go of her hand.
Moka didn't expect that he would actually say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately his hair stood on end. He wanted to hide behind her again, but he was pressed down on the mechanical bed.
With a click, his hands and feet were immediately tied up with metal rings.
There was a bright overhead light above the mechanical bed, and it made his red eyes feel sore and stinging.
The surrounding robotic arms started up.
Annie stood by with her arms folded. She carefully observed the various facilities on the mechanical bed and watched the pendulum on the school doctor's face accelerate. Her fingertips rested on her upper arm, tapping it lightly from time to time.
"Student," the school doctor said in a gentle voice, "What are you afraid of?"
Tick. Tick.
The pendulum of the clock swayed, and the subtle countdown sound rang out from its head.
"I..." Moka tried hard to look in the direction of Ani against the light, but the light moved and enveloped his eyes again, and the other person's figure became blurred.
"I'm just... scared, scared of being bullied," he said.
The school doctor reached out and pried open his eyelids, then sat beside him to obtain some of his data and carefully adjusted the content on the screen.
Ani looked at some complex data on the edge of the screen.
The doctor stood up again and searched for something in the medicine cabinet. It paused as it opened the medicine cabinet, as if noticing that a bottle was missing.
But the school doctor just took out a few more bottles of tranquilizers, turned around, looked at the expressionless Annie for a few seconds, then walked to the mechanical bed and injected the medicine bottle into a card slot.
Ani paused as she tapped her fingertips on her arm.
In her opinion, this dosage was... too much.
The command changed, and the robotic arm revealed a section of the injection needle. As the fishy-sweet smell spread, the syringe behind the needle was filled with the liquid medicine and it slowly approached Moka.
Moka gritted his fangs in fear. He opened his mouth but couldn't scream out because his voice was too hoarse.
The sound of the pendulum swinging beside him filled his mind.
Moka's fear was immediately driven away by an inexplicable sense of emptiness. He wanted to scream, but he could only answer the school doctor's questions one by one, saying "Okay, doctor". His voice was low and hoarse, and incredibly soft, as if he would utter such soft words if anyone wanted to do anything to him at this time.
Ani finally spoke: "Moka?"
The little succubus raised her eyes slowly, but her position was blocked by the strong light and her face could not be seen clearly. Her lips moved and fragmented murmurs escaped from her lips.
"No... I haven't..."
"What are you afraid of?" The school doctor's voice broke into his mind, "Kid. You shouldn't be afraid of anything."
The needle was inserted into the blood vessel and the medicine was pushed in.
Although it is excessive, it is still within the tolerable range. Ani walked forward and tried to pull him off the mechanical bed, but the metal ring that bound Moka was not untied.
Ani looked at the school doctor with a hint of doubt: "Is the treatment over?"
The school doctor gestured for everyone to calm down.
It continued to speak to Moka, accompanied by the ticking of a pendulum clock: "Your fear is because you have not joined them yet. Is it that someone is deliberately trying to hurt you? Could it be that you fell accidentally and don't blame others."
"Maybe you're just too timid? No one wants to hurt you. Everyone is a good person."
"See, it's actually your fault that you angered them. If you had done a little better..."
Moka's lips moved, as if to follow the school doctor's voice and acknowledge this statement.
Before his voice came out of his throat, Annie suddenly grabbed the mechanical arm that was going to continue injecting the medicine. She was so strong that the machine made a clanging sound of fighting in her palm, and the needle failed to pierce Moka's skin again.
The next moment, she clenched her other hand into a fist and knocked the mechanical arm aside with a bang. The Zerg's biological armor covered the knuckles and wrist bones at the same time. The huge force directly dented the special metal, and the mechanical arm was flattened and the metal was torn from the root.
The school doctor stood up suddenly.
Annie's hands were completely covered with Zerg mimicry. Her hands, which could tear apart C5 alloy, hammered off another mechanical arm. Then she reached over and grabbed the doctor's collar: "I said, the treatment is over. Do you understand?"
The doctor's clock-like head was facing her, and its skull suddenly split open. A dozen mechanical arms stretched out from its brain and rushed towards her.
Annie raised her arms to block these slender yet extremely strong mechanical arms, and slammed her other hand into the opponent's chest - with a loud clang!
Her arm did not touch flesh and blood, but there was a hard substance under the white coat.
The loud noise almost made everyone dizzy. Annie shook her head. She had been baptized by Moka's high-frequency sound waves twice, and this kind of hypnotic and dizzying sound had much less impact on her.
When she looked up again, she was faced with a small mechanical arm heading straight for her neck. Annie's tentacles came out from the openings of her combat uniform and suddenly wrapped around each mechanical arm. The soft skin of the tentacles was not afraid of scratches and could recover quickly after being cut, so she immediately controlled these small mechanical arms.
The school doctor's voice was accompanied by the more violent ticking of the clock: "I'm healing him! I'm healing his fear!"
This sound makes people's ears ring.
A sound like a mechanical pendulum clock telling time came from the doctor's stomach. With each heavy and long clang, Annie felt that her "fear" had also disappeared.
Her tentacles wrapped around all the mechanical arms, and her free right hand suddenly punched diagonally upward, hitting the outer casing of the clock.
Its pendulum clock head swung chaotically and the casing was dented.
The doctor screamed: "He is cured! You are also cured--"
"Heal your father's head." Another fierce punch.
Ani seldom curses, and when she does, it means she is really angry. Violent sparks flew between the biological armor and the hard synthetic metal. As the sparks flashed, a puff of smoke filled the air. She knocked the school doctor to the ground expressionlessly, and her knee hit its solid body with a thud.
The sound of countless clocks.
The endless ticking of seconds.
Her emotions were gradually devoured by the hypnotic sounds around her, from fear to joy. The hypnotic suggestions enveloped the surrounding space, and everything became distorted.
But Ani concentrated on pinching the neck of the clock head, and punched the glass cover on its face again and again as the shrill sound became increasingly piercing. The extremely strong special glass seemed to be indestructible.
"You are so rebellious! You are so rebellious!" the doctor roared, "You are violating school rules!"
With another punch, she shattered the surface of the glass and saw the doctor's "face" covered with cracks of chapped ice crystals.
Annie laughed coldly, her tentacles no longer caring about the small mechanical arms, but instead tightly controlling its extremely angry and struggling body.
The small mechanical arms attacked her back, but the cut metal couldn't even penetrate the surface of the combat suit. Simple lasers were completely unable to penetrate the defense. Only when one of the robotic arms began to accumulate energy would she send out a tentacle to control it.
"Intentional injury is voluntary," she repeated to the clock head, grinning, "Then you fell accidentally, didn't you? It's my fault. I'm a good student who is well-known for being helpful."
“You are crazy!!”
The hypnotic sound of the clock almost swallowed up the whole world. The secondary brains of several tentacles were affected and became limp and dazed.
But because each of Annie's tentacle has a secondary brain, it is very difficult to hypnotize her. Annie didn't care that the vibration of the pendulum invaded her other emotion, swallowing up the sadness as well.
It doesn't matter.
Her mind was filled with an indestructible rage.
Ani punched the glass in front of it, and with a crisp sound, glass fragments flew everywhere.
"Am I crazy?" She stared at the dial. "Maybe you are just too timid. If you do better, you won't make me angry."
Fear climbed onto the school doctor's "face", the second hand on the dial trembled, and its voice trembled: "The treatment is over, the treatment is over! Take him away quickly, take him away!"
Ani smiled at it and said word by word: "Now, I am the one treating you, Mr. School Doctor."
Bang!
A trembling dial and a broken second hand.
There was also a pendulum that she held and did not allow to swing.
All the hypnotic sounds were paused. Annie closed her palms and fiercely pulled the pendulum out of its brain.
The screams stopped, and the small mechanical arm behind the cracked head stopped moving. She raised her hand, held the second hand that had just moved rapidly, and moved it back with her finger.
Time goes backwards.
The emotions swallowed by the hypnotic voice were spat out one by one and returned to her heart. Ani's anger was neutralized by other emotions. She exhaled slowly, and a line of words appeared in front of her:
[Best Healing - Event has been triggered, exploration degree +3%, student reputation +5, teacher impression -5, current exploration degree 15%]
[The best way to heal from being hurt is not to ignore it, but to fight back. 】
The doctor fell to the ground and didn't move. Only then did Ani notice that the school clinic was in a mess.
The surrounding furnishings were all askew, the medicine cabinet collapsed, the chair tilted on the ground, and the dismantled robotic arm broke into several sections and fell nearby.
She stood up and removed the metal rings that bound Moka on the medical bed. Ani stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
The other person looked at her.
"You," Annie paused and said, "Your brain was not working well to begin with, and you are even less smart this time. I rarely meet someone as stupid as you—"
Before she could finish her words, Moka rushed over and hugged her.
He used his hands and feet, pressing every inch of his skin against her hungrily. The little succubus hugged her tightly, trembling slightly. He lowered his head and rested it on Annie's shoulder, and his small dark red horns touched the side of her neck.
"I want... I want to chase you..." he said.
Ani: "...Don't repay kindness with enmity."
Although she had only encountered this one succubus, it was hard to say whether his intelligence level would give birth to a stupid mimic beast - this was not in line with her principle of eugenics.
Moka was about to cry. His tail was wrapped around Ani's body, and he couldn't suppress his sobs. "I don't care. I want to chase you. I want... I want to be your boyfriend..."
"You just want to hide behind me."
He refused to let go and used the uniform on Annie's shoulders to wipe her tears, wrinkling her clothes. He insisted: "No... I am mercifully allowing you... allowing you to sleep with me. Why can Ling Xiao sleep with you but I can't? He's not very smart."
With a few sobs, Moka turned his head, hooked his arm around her neck, and quickly said a string of numbers in Annie's ear.
Before Ani could ask, Moka said hesitantly, "This is my...key."
Ani looked at him in confusion, followed Moka's gaze and moved down, then suddenly realized and said in shock: "You still have a combination lock here?"
