Chapter 111 Worried Bai: Nan Qi, tell me, what are you worried about...
"I don't think you rushed into my cave because you wanted to commit suicide." Nan Qi gently raised his finger and tapped Sli's chest. "I saw clearly that you rushed into my cave without hesitation, and took Sli's body with you even though he was not in good condition."
Nan Qi folded his hands, supporting his chin, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Si Li lazily, as if he was tired. "Can you give me a real answer? After all, whether you leave the Central Star or stay in the Central Star, you will need Bai's help."
Sli was silent for a moment, then seemed to have made up his mind. His eyes became firm. "Can you promise not to treat Slang as a test subject? If you want to study me, you can study me. I will cooperate, but you cannot harm Slang."
"Brother!" Silang was anxious. "You can't do this. You, you can't do this to my brother. We can commit suicide now. If you do this to my brother, I will kill him and then commit suicide."
Sly's expression was filled with indignation. "I never imagined that Admiral Bai Smellide, hailed as the Empire's God of War, would be just like those pests at the research institute. He only cared about developing a 'weapon' with greater freedom, not caring how many lives it would cost."
Bai had no intention of using twins for the experiment. When he heard what he said, he was about to explain when he heard a low, magnetic chuckle.
The insects looked in the direction of the laughter and saw Nan Qi with his eyes downcast, his expression indifferent, as if he didn't take Si Lang's threat seriously at all: "Are you threatening me with yourself again?"
Nan Qi's voice was neither loud nor soft, and there was a smile in his eyes, but the aura surrounding him rose steadily with this sentence, which frightened Si Lang into breaking out in a cold sweat.
"I saved your lives. I also removed all that clutter from your necks, hearts, and arteries... You don't even have a formal identity in this world. The moment you show up, you'll be captured by the institute. The moment you rushed into my cave, you were doomed to have no way out."
Nan Qi had a smile on his face, but his eyes became colder and colder, like two extremely thin blades made of ice and snow piercing Si Lang's lungs, making him dare not even breathe.
"Bai is a military daughter, well-educated, and defending his country is ingrained in him. He's a gentleman and won't do anything to you, but I'm not."
Nan Qi's eyes were deep. "I am a male insect, the only SSS-level male insect in the empire. Bai is my female monarch and must obey me. I have my own planet and my own industry. I have money, power, influence, and ability... You have seen it."
After a pause, Nan Qi looked at Si Lang's pale face and continued, "Why do you think you can threaten me with yourself, or even kill Si Li in front of me and then commit suicide?"
Nan Qi chuckled and uttered a few words lightly: "Who do you think you are?"
Si Lang swallowed his saliva. Nan Qi's words were like a slap in the face. He was almost calling him an ungrateful person.
Si Lang also knew that he was an ungrateful person, but for the sake of his brother, he had to plan ahead.
They don't have the extra capital to negotiate with Nan Qi and the others. Their only capital is their identity as experimental subjects and the bargaining chip of possessing special abilities.
But Nan Qi seems to be even more powerful than them. The cat that can move freely through solid objects and the void opened by the cat, Nan Qi said that is his void and his ability.
That is the most precious spatial ability, which is the ability that the researchers at the Imperial Research Institute want to develop in their experimental subjects.
However, after several generations of efforts, the institute seemed to have no success, but Nan Qi did.
What Nan Qi has, they don't have; what they have, Nan Qi also has, and is even more powerful than them. Their identities, status, and abilities are not on par with theirs. They really cannot threaten Nan Qi. They said that before, just because they were lucky enough to think that Nan Qi and the others would be happy to see the prey.
His goal was to stop Nan Qi and the others from touching his brother. He wanted to stabilize Nan Qi and the others first, and then negotiate with Nan Qi later, exchanging himself for his brother's absolute freedom and the military's protection of his brother.
But Nan Qi's words completely shattered the last bit of hope in his heart.
He knew that Nan Qi had not lied to him. Nan Qi really didn't care about their life or death, and he really wanted to explore the secrets of the Imperial Research Institute from them.
Therefore, Nan Qi refused to accept any threats and wanted him and his brother to be the keys to their research on the secrets of the Imperial Research Institute.
Realizing this, Slang fell into complete despair. Is this their fate?
Are they unworthy of a normal life and can only be scrapped in endless pain and finally thrown into an incinerator and burned to ashes like non-recyclable garbage?
Sli was suffocated by the huge despair coming from Slang. The entire restaurant was filled with the "field" surrounded by Nan Qi's cold aura. He was so suppressed that he couldn't even hug Slang.
At this moment, a helpless sigh was heard. It was Bai who was sitting next to Nan Qi.
Bai gently pinched Nan Qi's ear, his voice full of pampering: "Okay, don't scare them."
As soon as Baihua finished speaking, the cold aura that had suffocated the insects just now melted away.
Nan Qi returned to his lazy state, holding Bai's hand that was pinching his earlobe and playing with it. The moment he looked up, his cold eyes swept over Si Li and Si Lang, then he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Bai let Nan Qi play with his fingers, his eyes neither gentle nor cold, as if he was looking at a strange insect.
"We will not conduct experiments that harm your body, as that would violate international conventions. However, you are experimental subjects after all, so we will conduct some routine research on you.
And I need you to tell me everything you know about the Imperial Research Institute, including why you rushed into Nanqi's cave without hesitation."
Bai: "As long as you cooperate, I will naturally protect you. Believe it or not, Nan Qi is trying to scare you, but he is not lying to you. We really don't care about your life or death. If you don't care, you will easily say that you will die."
After hearing this, Sli and Slang fell silent at the same time. If possible, they didn't want to talk about death.
They are even lower than the lowest male insects. Even if they have abilities, what can they do? Without legal identities and wanted by the research institute, their road has reached a dead end.
In order to have dignity and to no longer suffer endless pain, death is the only least painful way to get rid of it.
So, they are indeed ungrateful people. No matter what, the freedom they have now was brought by Nan Qi and others.
"I'll tell you." Sli took a deep breath and calmed himself. "At first, I just reacted instinctively. The feeling of that void fluctuation was similar to the mental fluctuations when Slang and I used our abilities."
"After I rushed in, I realized that this ability comes from mental power. It's the same as ours, but it's more stable than ours and doesn't seem to be harmful to the spiritual sea."
"Same?" Pu Bo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up. "Are you saying that the mental fluctuations when Nan Qi uses the Void Cave are the same as the fluctuations when you use your abilities?"
Sly thought for a moment: "Not exactly the same, but close."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Si Lang, who nodded, his eyes looking at Nan Qi intentionally or unintentionally: "If I didn't know he was an SSS-level male insect, I would have thought he was also an experimental subject."
"Nan Qi isn't some experimental subject," Bai frowned and changed the subject. "Is that why you rushed in so recklessly?"
"Not really. I guessed you were here to save Carter. If Carter can get in, then so can we." Sly thought back to the emotions mixed in with his instinctive reaction. After a moment of silence, he said, "Even if I die, it's better than suffering in hell."
"Alright, let's not talk about death anymore. Aren't you all alive and well now?" Mellon said, brightening the mood. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. This is our principle: not to harm our compatriots."
Pu Bo continued, "I'll be in charge of the specifics. I'll first carefully examine your bodies, draw your blood, extract your genes for testing, and test your spiritual sea and spiritual power. Are you able to cooperate?"
The twins looked at each other and nodded to show they were ready to cooperate. Pu Bo continued, "I still need you to help me identify a drug. Don't worry, I won't inject it into you. I will inject it into the mice, and you will observe their reactions and give me the answer."
The twins nodded again, indicating that it was okay.
Pu Bo: "That's all for now. As for your residence..."
"I'll take care of it," Bai Dao said. "You can stay in the guest room on the east side of the second floor for now, but I have one request. You can't go out, and the curtains in the room can't be opened. I won't be equipping you with a Star Brain for the time being. I will also find a way to resolve your identity issue as soon as possible."
Si Li quickly said: "Don't worry, we understand. Si Lang and I will also use this time to tell you everything we know."
Sli knew that Bai still didn't trust him and Slang, and didn't send them out because he was afraid that they would rebel and hurt other insects. He could completely understand this.
After reaching a preliminary consensus, the insects returned to their happy meal.
Bai discovered that Nan Qi ate very little, was not as energetic as before, and seemed a little absent-minded.
Bai was a little worried, so he quickly finished the food that Nan Qi put in his bowl, pulled Nan Qi and walked towards the bedroom on the third floor, leaving the insects looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Nan Qi didn't know why Bai suddenly pulled him up and left. He didn't ask, but followed Bai closely.
Bai pulled him into the room, locked the door, and forced him to sit on the bed. He also put his hands on Bai's waist and jokingly said, "Bai, do you want to force yourself on me?"
The expected look of Bai blushing and shyness did not appear. Nan Qi looked at Bai staring at him straight, and the worry in his eyes seemed to turn into reality, and he suddenly smiled.
"What's wrong?" Nan Qi pulled Bai to sit across his legs, facing each other, and shook him. "The look in your eyes, if you didn't know me, you would think I was going to die."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai stretched out his hand to cover Nan Qi's mouth.
Nan Qi whimpered a few times, and his warm breath sprayed on Bai's palm, and Bai slowly let go of his hand.
"Nan Qi." Bai called Nan Qi's name softly.
"Yeah." Nan Qi responded softly.
"Are you confused about something?" Bai said with a deep look in his eyes. "I can see that you are not in a good mood or spirit."
"Huh? You figured it out." Nan Qi curled his eyes and tilted his head to look at Bai, trying to get away with it. "I'm just not happy that Si Lang misses you so much. You're such a good person, but he insists on thinking that you're the same kind of guy as the Imperial Research Institute—"
"Nan Qi!" Bai interrupted Nan Qi, holding Nan Qi's face with both hands and kissing Nan Qi's heart, "Nan Qi, tell me, okay? Tell me, what are you worried about?"
