Chapter 220 Normal People You are the hope of our entire village, Yuanyuan
Seibu requested that the Army Aviation be added to the list of war criminals.
All the nobles on that list were cruel and evil. Therefore, Bai Ling once issued an order that if these people were encountered, they could be killed directly without having to capture them alive.
But this time, Bai Ling did not agree immediately.
He remembered that this Lu Hang seemed to have an unclear relationship with Huo Yuan. If I give the order directly, it would seem that I don't take Huo Yuan's opinion into consideration.
So he put it aside and prepared to wait for Huo Yuan to come over to discuss it.
The ship took off, raising wild stars and vast expanses of sand. After four intensive jumps, the "Galaxy Fish" arrived at night local time.
The sea fog was thick and the rain was falling heavily. In the pitch-black night, a beam of cold light swept over. It was the ship's reconnaissance beam. After a while, the hatch opened, and the soldiers rushed forward to hold umbrellas, but were blocked by the back of their hands.
"Minister Huo." Someone shouted and trotted over in the rain.
A man in a black raincoat came down, walking with great speed. He has a cold temperament and white hair, but no one would mistake him for Commander Bai. Because of the pair of red pupils, the slightly charming eye arc and the calm eyes, it is obvious that she does not belong to the crazy beauty Commander Bai who would put a zombie bonsai in the office.
His mental stability rate is much higher.
But today was not as stable as usual.
The messenger came running over and observed a subtle undercurrent in Huo Yuan's eyes. He knew that the other party was in a bad mood, so he quickly swallowed back the fancy compliments on his lips.
Along the way, he dared not say anything except "Commander Bai is waiting for you."
Huo Yuan came here with a mission.
After a war, soldiers have a rest period and generals also need to take turns to take leave. This time, he came to replace the Seagulls who were on vacation and carry out the legion's rotation.
The procedures for transferring command have been completed. This time he will lead the third "mixed division", which includes a pirate group, a miner group, and a part of college students who temporarily joined.
The "mixed division" has mixed personnel composition and is more difficult to coordinate than other divisions.
But this is not a problem for Huo Yuan. Because during the years when he was the leader of a mercenary group, the members he recruited were even more chaotic than this, and he even earned the nickname "a mixed bag of fish and chicken".
"Minister Huo, Commander Bai is inside."
The messenger opened the door for him and followed him, walking silently across the low-key and elegant Persian carpet.
No matter how many times he came in, the messenger would be amazed at the magnificence of the manor. On the wall hung heavy gold frames, the paintings inside showed the nobility of the former earl's family. The fish head in the portrait pointed to the inner courtyard. As soon as I walked in, I felt a gust of wind blowing, and the beads of the crystal chandelier above my head collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.
Basking in the sun and listening to the swaying sound of the chandelier in this mirror house full of crystals is probably the Duke's family's favorite nighttime pastime.
This also includes admiring a tapestry that is worth a destroyer.
Huo Yuan looked and saw a corpse lying under the tapestry. Judging from the clothes, it should belong to the Earl himself. Next to the corpse's turned face, stood a pair of military boots. The owner of the boots raised his head, looking at the tapestry expressionlessly.
The man had a straight back and long muscular legs. His figure was reflected on the smooth black marble floor, with the dark shadow extending under his feet. Turning around, he revealed an indifferent face with a hint of neurotic arrogance that was barely noticeable.
Huo Yuan suddenly had a feeling.
Bai Ling standing there looked more aristocratic than the original owner of the house.
That's a sense of control.
Wherever he goes, the ground beneath his feet will be engraved with his name.
I heard that some time ago people on the Star Network suggested that the newly captured Midway Star be renamed Bailing Star to commemorate the victory of the battle.
Similar precedents are not uncommon, such as Washington DC, Stalingrad, Zhongshan and Mumbai in ancient Earth, which are all cities named after important historical figures.
When Bai Ling heard this, he refused immediately. It’s not that I feel I can’t afford it, but I said, “Let’s decide on the memorial after I die.”
He was actually ready to sacrifice at any time.
On this point, Huo Yuan admired him. Therefore, things that are on the tip of your tongue become even more difficult to say.
After all, Bai Ling's broken leg was caused by that group of nobles training hawks.
Now Lu Hang is suspected to have joined that group in exchange for resources. If I rashly plead for Lu Hang, it might hurt Bai Ling.
Just as Huo Yuan was hesitating, Bai Ling greeted him briskly, "Please sit down. It's raining heavily outside. Do you want a cup of hot tea? They just found a lot of good tea in the warehouse in the basement. I was just about to ask someone to taste it together."
A thought came to Huo Yuan's mind. After not seeing each other for a few months, Bai Ling seemed to be much more enthusiastic than before.
There was lightning and thunder outside, and rain was washing the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows. Huo Yuan took off his raincoat, sat down and drank a cup of freshly brewed black tea, and felt his body getting a little warmer.
At this time, the messenger outside came running in panting, holding a small iron cage in his arms.
Huo Yuan took a curious look and found that the cage was vaguely a plant.
The leaves are emerald green and shiny, and you can tell at a glance that the roots are strong and well-nourished.
"I got it." Bai Ling took the small iron cage, ignoring the panic of the messenger who jumped three steps away, and directly opened the code of the cage and took out the plant pot. "It's time to eat."
As he spoke, he bent down and placed the plant next to the count's body.
Huo Yuan looked again and seemed to see something hanging on the plant, rusty brown in color, like a huge red bean.
So weird. What kind of plant is this? He has never seen it before.
When he wanted to look again, Bai Ling had already walked over here, blocking his view.
Bai Ling got straight to the point and took the initiative to bring up the matter: "I know you have a relationship with Lu Hang, but Xi Wusi's proposal is also fine, so I want to hear your opinion in person."
Huo Yuan suddenly lost the mood to drink tea and blurted out the thoughts that had gone through his mind countless times on the way here.
He raised his eyes and looked closely at Bai Ling, "Lu Hang is not that kind of person. He is not interested in omegas. That must be fake news."
"Why are you so sure?"
"...Because," Huo Yuan closed his eyes and said slowly, "I slept with him."
"There are a lot of bisexuals and trisexuals nowadays," Bai Ling pointed out.
"He took the initiative... and forced himself." Huo Yuan took a deep breath.
Bai Ling gave him a surprised look, "Forced? Then he is even more suspicious."
"That's not what I meant—" Huo Yuan tried to find an example to explain, "He may have done something wrong, but he is indeed a gentleman. I know him. I was his roommate. At that time, my sister got pregnant and didn't have enough money from working. He lent me money to help my sister have an induced abortion..."
Lu Hang did help him a lot.
Even though Lu Hang's father slapped him and warned him not to get close to Lu Hang again, he still believed that the other party was a good person.
Perhaps at that age, the kindness extended by peers is enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
"Huo Yuan."
The hand fell on his shoulder and Huo Yuan trembled.
Bai Ling patted him gently and said, "Sometimes you have to admit that people will change. Some freshwater fish will turn into saltwater fish after living in the estuary for a long time, let alone humans."
"But don't worry, I am neutral on this matter. I will not put him on the list until I find more evidence."
The list of war criminals was originally dictated by the Disabled Eagles and confirmed by several victims.
If the Army Aviation really didn't do those things, then they can just capture the enemy's high-ranking officers and ask them to testify.
Huo Yuan felt a little relieved when he heard his promise.
That must be a ridiculous rumor.
There will be no confirmation.
"Well, you must be tired after the long journey. I asked them to prepare a room for you. Come and rest."
Bai Ling coaxed him to leave, and Huo Yuan stood up with the raincoat.
However, at this moment, a crisp creaking sound suddenly came from behind them. It was like some creature with a very strong bite force, gnawing on the bones with relish.
“Crunch—”
Huo Yuan turned his head and asked in confusion: "What is that?"
“Crunch, crunch, crunch—”
Bai Ling said disapprovingly: "Nothing, my little pet is eating."
"What pet, a cat?"
Huo Yuan thought about it and realized that he didn’t seem to see a cat running in just now. He only saw Bai Ling holding a pot of strange plants.
"It's a potted plant." Bai Ling turned around as if nothing had happened, and in the process, he moved away from Huo Yuan's view, allowing him to see the kidney that had evolved into shark teeth.
"It's called a Venus Flytrap. I brought it from the ship's garden. I originally wanted to put it in the office to eat flies and mosquitoes, but it has grown a bit recently and is always howling with hunger. It doesn't speak Imperial Mandarin very well, and it took me a long time to understand that it wants to eat seafood."
"I just happened to kill one today, so I brought it here to feed it while it's still fresh."
The Earl lives a life of luxury and exploits the people, so it is not unfair for him to be fed a kidney.
Bai Ling walked back and squatted. The plant kidney immediately turned around and placed its slippery, blood-stained skin close to his hand, rubbing against his palm with great enthusiasm.
Bai Ling pinched it twice.
The kidneys feel amazing, they are full of muscles so they are tough and fleshy, have high elasticity and are quite easy to pinch.
And it is particularly submissive - when pinched, the kidney will not protest, but will shake its leaves excitedly.
Bai Ling became addicted to it after playing it a few times, and started to use it as a way to vent his emotions in the office.
After you pinch it, there is a chance that a mermaid will spawn in the room.
Huo Yuan looked at all this in a daze, his mind going blank. He even pinched himself hard for a moment, wondering if he was still asleep on the spaceship and had an absurd nightmare.
He is talking to a plant... a kidney... No... How can organs grow on plants...
At this moment, Bai Ling suddenly leaned over and put his ear close to the kidney, as if listening to something. He frowned as he listened, raised his head and scolded impatiently: "You can't say he smells good! That's not something you can eat."
Huo Yuan: ...eat, who?
Bai Ling put down the kidney, and it slid along the upright leaves into the flowerpot, and greedily took a few big bites of the place it had just nibbled.
“Crack—”
The flowerpot was broken into pieces, cracked by the overly thick roots.
"It's time to change the pot again." Bai Ling sighed, and simply picked up the clump of roots and held them in his arms, as if he was raising a normal and cute little pet.
The nutrient soil in the pot originally stuck to his white military uniform, and gradually spread out a strange black stain.
Huo Yuan stared at the gradually expanding stain, his scalp tingling, and he couldn't help but think of some legends.
Anyone who gets too close to Isoparaiso will be mentally polluted and even go crazy.
"Baby, what are you playing with?" A deep and magnetic voice suddenly appeared, and an elegant blond alpha pushed open an inconspicuous door and walked in, "Put it down quickly, it will stain your clothes."
Seeing that it was Mr. D, Huo Yuan felt inexplicably relieved.
Fortunately, there is Mr. D.
This gentleman has always been a sponsor and is enthusiastic about public welfare. He is a rare upright person.
With him around, the possibility of Bai Ling being contaminated by Isuparaiso should be much lower.
Huo Yuan said "see you later" and said goodbye to Bai Ling and Mr. D.
He walked so fast that he didn't notice that the "upright" Mr. D was picking plant roots out of Bai Ling's hand while casting a meaningful glance at his back.
After a while, Huo Yuan arrived at the arranged residence.
Perhaps because of the strange scene he had just seen, he felt a little uneasy and guessed that the plant kidney might have been obtained from some unknown marine tribe.
He has always been rather averse to the ocean creatures, because their evolutionary tree is different from that of ordinary birds, which always scares people.
He bolted the door, turned around and started packing his luggage.
The box was opened and everything inside was visible. He didn't bring many personal belongings. The clothes he brought were distributed by the army, and he also had toothpaste and toothbrushes. At most, he brought some commonly used items, such as a laptop, striped socks given by his sister, and...
After hesitating for a second, Huo Yuan still reached out to the compartment of the box.
Pull out a photo frame from inside.
It is a graduation photo, with the words "Graduation Commemoration of the Conducting Department Class of 2008" written on it. It was packed with people, and everyone was smiling happily.
But the only thing missing was his smile.
Because that year, he was fired.
The graduation trip that was originally planned to go to Yexing was not carried out.
He still remembered that when that incident happened, he only had twenty-one days left before graduation.
Huo Yuan looked at the photo for a while, put it back and locked the box. Too much time has passed, and now there are not many regrets left, and the so-called resentment has long been worn away by time. Looking back now, I can only sigh.
People will change.
Maybe Bai Ling is right.
The classmates and friends in the photo have now become the enemies that he plans to attack tomorrow morning, and he has marked a red cross on their names.
Everyone has changed. He has changed too.
Is there nothing that is eternal and unchanging?
Perhaps, Lu Hang’s integrity?
But he could also be corrupted by his environment.
Huo Yuan put on striped socks and thought calmly, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter at all, he has changed, it’s fine if I kill him, the one who remains in my heart is still the eternal good Lu Hang.
His parents will be grateful to me.

Huo Yuan washed up and prepared to go to bed. He patted the pillow to make it fluffy and was quite satisfied with the room Bai Ling had arranged for him. The only difference was that the weather was a bit stuffy, so he ordered the room system to open the windows for good ventilation.
The rain had stopped and waves of dampness were seeping in from outside.
He put on his earplugs and reached out to turn off the light.
“Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring—!!!”
The virtual machine at the head of the bed screamed sharply at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Huo Yuan was startled, got up and hurriedly answered the call. The screen showed that the call came from the commander's lounge, and Bai Ling's voice came from the speaker:
"Did you sleep?"
Huo Yuan gritted his teeth: "Just about to go to sleep."
Bai Ling laughed, "Sorry for waking you up. I just suddenly remembered to remind you that it's best not to open the windows when you sleep at night, or some strange...animals will run in."
Huo Yuan held his forehead and scratched his hair, then sighed, "Thank you for reminding me, I'll close the window right away."
He slowly got out of bed, walked barefoot on the wet floor to the window and looked out. There was nothing except the sound of leaves dripping water.
The windows were locked, the curtains were drawn, and the thick screens blocked the view outside.
If he stuck his head out and looked at the left side of the outer wall, he would find a large blood-red net lying there.
There are two rabbits with their blood sucked out posted online.
I found that the window of the room I had visited before was locked, so I could only crawl away in frustration. I was too lazy to say "hello" to the ivy on the outer wall when I passed by it.
Looking down, the master bedroom on the first floor was still lit. The capillary network crawled into the small window reserved for it, and squatted obediently in the corner, acting as an electronic mosquito coil.
Bai Ling walked out of the hot bathroom with a towel around his neck. He looked up and found that the net was back, so he said to Yu Chen who was leaning against the bed reading a book:
"Can you talk to your parts and tell them not to run around? What if they scare Huo Yuan?"
Yu Chen looked up from the book and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't he an alpha?"
Bai Ling sat on the bed and rubbed his hair with a towel. "It has nothing to do with gender. It's just that he is the only normal one among us."
It's not like Sawa, Kid, and Seibuji—those three are already like that.
This is Huo Yuan, the hope of our entire village... and our entire army.
After all, Bai Ling didn't want future history books to say that the Wild Star Army was made up of a bunch of crazy omegas.
They still have a normal alpha.
Yu Chen closed the book, glanced at Bai Ling, and said meaningfully: "Normal person? Not necessarily."
As soon as Bai Ling saw his expression, he guessed that he must know something, so he lay on the mermaid's abdominal muscles, pressed him down and rubbed him hard, "Tell me the truth!"
Yu Chen couldn't persuade him, so he patted Bird's buttocks, pinched them, and said, "Okay, now it's Bird's story time. Honey, have you heard the story of the Sandman?"
