Chapter 97
In the end, Sirius never told Celtichill where he had gone.
He left peacefully, as if a dream existed in Celtic's hallucination, in which the little male insect embraced his cold and ferocious body, pressed his warm cheek against his sharp mandibles, and his long silver hair fell all over him.
Hill's choice was to never see them again.
Celtic turned and left. Cyrus slowly poured the remaining wine from the second-floor balcony onto the ground. The noise seemed irrelevant to him, and he had no idea where Hill had gone.
He abandoned his female insect and his brother.
The only thing he did before he left was to personally order the removal of Hessen's bone wings.
Hessen and Celt refused to let go of the other insect until their deaths, trying to drag it down with them, which resulted in the two insects surviving together.
It's foolish that two sinful insects traveled so far to return to the empire.
Hill personally witnessed the execution, watching as the female insect's bony wings were stripped away, dripping with blood. Stripping away the bony wings would likely result in immediate death, but perhaps it was a case of the wicked living forever, for Hesen had survived and was breathing his last breath.
But from this day forward he will bid farewell to the skies, becoming a true cripple, discriminated against by the Zerg, and his trial after his bone wings are removed will be carried out by the Imperial Court.
According to the father's wishes, if Nathaniel wanted to reduce the punishment, Hessen would be hanged; if Nathaniel took the blame, then Hessen's best outcome would be life imprisonment.
"Letting him die at Nathaniel's hands is the greatest punishment for him." These were Hill's last words as he stood up.
Where is Hill?
Will Celtic be able to find him?
Sirius took a drag of his cigarette, feeling that neither tobacco nor alcohol could soothe his agitated heart.
——
x12 is a junk planet. Such planets lack suitable resources for open exploration and their environment is unsuitable for the Zerg to live in. They cannot become habitable planets, so they are gradually abandoned. Occasionally, discarded goods from first-magnitude planets are brought here for sale.
This is a garbage planet that has no value due to its harsh environment, but it is not a garbage planet where garbage is dumped; at least there are no mountains of garbage.
Recently, a female insect, or perhaps a sub-female, came to the town. She was very beautiful, with long, snow-white hair and delicate, deep eyes, like stars in the night sky.
However, the place where he lived was very remote. The planet x12 was covered by blizzards all year round, and he lived at the edge of the blizzard.
The nearest one to him was an orphanage.
The female insect larvae, having just learned about fairy tales, privately discussed how he resembled a princess from a fairy tale set in the snow.
Curiosity is a child's nature, and the young often trek through layers of snow to find the insect, or simply watch it from afar.
Occasionally, this unnamed insect would find them and give them some very sweet candy.
The female larvae felt he was distant and aloof, like a pile of fragile snow worms.
Oh no, the book says snow worms are fragile, but not on X12. There are six months of blizzards here, mixed with constant thunder and lightning, so the snow worms are exceptionally strong, just cold, so cold it feels like your whole heart has been frozen.
Today is a rare sunny day on x12 planet. The long-awaited sunlight shines through the dark clouds, and the green trees in the courtyard, weighed down by snow, stubbornly refuse to bow their heads.
The male insect lay in a deckchair basking in the sun, a white blanket on his knees. The warm sunlight enveloped him and hardened the snow.
The sunlight made him a little sleepy, so he slowly closed his eyes.
Crunch, crunch.
He heard footsteps.
Was it the insect cub from the neighboring orphanage that was pushed and shoved by its companions, or was it the robotic insect that came to deliver supplies that broke the tranquility of the snow?
He opened his eyes to a crystal world. A tall, powerful female insect walked towards him from the vast snowfield. She had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and her cold, gray eyes were like those of a hawk, determined to win him over.
On the twenty-seventh day after leaving the capital planet, Celt found him.
