◇ Chapter 44 Sweet Wine
Lin You suddenly attacked, White fell to the ground, and there was silence on the field.
Lan En raised his eyes in surprise and fixed his gaze on Lin You.
Lin You stood in front of him, completely blocking White's sight, in a completely protective posture.
Lan En was stunned: "Your Highness..."
Lin You ignored him and kicked the edge of the table leg, which frightened White so much that he trembled three times. He looked disdainful and said, "Are you qualified to discipline my people?"
Lann moved his fingers slightly.
...his people?
And in Lin You's mind, the system made a sharp roar: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Oh my god, what are you doing? There's a plot later with lines!"
Lin You pressed the system: "Be patient." He looked ahead vaguely: "Isn't it coming?"
They were making quite a big move here. The guests around them quickly turned around and someone walked over quickly, asking in surprise: "Oh my God, Xiaoyou, what are you doing?"
The visitor had a gentle temperament, and was wearing a black tuxedo made of solid material and elegantly dressed. It was obvious that he was also an invited noble.
Lin You looked at him, stood up a little straighter, and said in a more obedient manner: "Big Brother."
The eldest prince of the empire, Lin Yu.
This novel's background board only has one plot here, and this person is not found at other times.
Lin You didn't know any elder brother at all. It was purely a description in the novel, which said that the three princes of the empire were friendly and respectful to each other, and the third prince listened to his two older brothers very much. So he acted according to the character's setting.
Lin You lowered his eyes and looked at the ground obediently, but his private expression was quite cold.
——He did not forget that after Lann's death in the novel, the third prince died in a power struggle.
The original text is not very detailed, but when it comes to power struggles, the ones who want the third prince dead are no one else except the other two princes.
Lin Yu was quite surprised. He glanced at Lan En, paused for a moment, then glanced at White, and said in a surprised tone: "Xiaoyou, White, what are you doing?"
Lin You sneered: "Ask White and tell him not to get involved in things he shouldn't get involved in."
The original text describes the Third Prince as moody and unpredictable, but Lin Youfa's character doesn't change at all when he goes crazy.
"…getting involved in something he shouldn't get involved in?"
The eldest prince glanced at Lan En again, and then smiled and said, "Why hurt the harmony? We are all in the same circle. We can play together often in the future. There are so many fun things to do. We don't have to stick to one female insect, right?"
He helped White up and smiled, "Xiaoyou has had this temper since he was a child. He hates others touching his things the most. You have to bear with it."
White echoed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
The eldest prince pulled Lin You up again and advised: "Our little You is an adult now, he can't be so willful, not to mention..."
He glanced at Lan En again and said coldly, "She attacked her ex-fiancé, and the evidence is solid. She doesn't want to reflect on her crime, but she is being attentive to the prince of the empire. There is nothing worth cherishing about such a female insect, right?"
“…”
Lann bowed: "Your Highness is right."
The eldest prince didn't look at him, but stopped Lin You and coaxed him, "Come on, don't be angry, brother has prepared a coming-of-age gift for you."
A nice gentleman
There is this part in the novel, and Lin You is not surprised at all. He pretends to be surprised and pulls Lin Yu: "What gift?"
Lin Yu smiled slightly: "For adult male insects only, you will like it."
He led Lin You into the hanging hall and waved towards the corner. The waiter immediately brought out a black leather suitcase and placed it flat on the long table.
Lin Yu stroked the suitcase with his fingertips, seemingly casually: "The female insect of the Colette family is not a good thing. You are too close to him. What did Lan En do that caught your eye and made you protect him like this?"
This is the original plot, word for word.
Lin You also looked at the teleprompter and said lazily, "What other reason could there be? He has a pretty face and I also want the Colette family's wealth, it's that simple."
The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction.
Lin You looked at the box: "Brother, stop talking about this, where is my gift?"
Lin Yu handed him the suitcase: "Here, these are high-end products newly delivered by the Pheromone Research and Development Center. I only have two of them."
Lin You opened the buckle, and a cherry pink cocktail was quietly placed on the velvet cloth. The liquid was crystal clear and dreamy.
Generally speaking, this extremely bright color rarely appears on food, and once it does, it often means it is poisonous.
Lin You reached out and took out the wine. Although he already knew what it was, he still read the label and pretended to be curious: "What is this?"
"Some little gadgets to liven up the fun." Lin Yu smiled, revealing an understanding look. "Lan En is a little difficult to deal with, right? Then you can let him try this. He will never be able to leave you again. Once he loses your pheromones, it will be more painful than killing him. I guarantee that he will scream and beg for your reward."
Lin You stared at the wine calmly, but his right hand uncontrollably clasped the mouth of the bottle, squeezing so hard that his fingertips turned blue.
If Lann's suffering in the first half of the book came from the Third Prince and White, then what ultimately caused him to live a life worse than death and die in a foreign land was this small bottle of pink wine.
Pheromone addiction aid.
Pheromones of the Zerg have always been the focus of research. They can not only make the most powerful female soldiers surrender and live a life worse than death, but also heal hidden injuries and soothe the spirit. The huge gender ratio of the Zerg requires most female Zergs to rely on artificial pheromone preparations. Therefore, here, the pheromone research and development center is the Empire's own high-level scientific research institution.
They not only develop substitutes for normal pheromones, but also expand experiments with the tacit approval of senior executives in order to earn huge profits. Addictive preparations are one of them.
If it is a normal combination of male and female insects, although there will be fluctuations due to pheromones, such as Lan En, he especially likes to be close to Lin You, but even if they are separated, it will not be fatal, it will only feel uncomfortable. However, if addictive drugs are added, it will be unbearable heart-wrenching pain.
At the same time, similar to the banned drugs of the human race in the previous life, this substance will greatly damage the nervous system. After drinking this, Lann became half a disabled person. From tonight onwards, he can't even hold a gun steadily.
The eldest prince seemed to really hope that something bad would happen to Lan.
Lin You seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked softly: "66, is this the same thing as what Lan En confiscated in District 23?"
They saw the black market samples during the Third Army's visit, and 66 also extracted a drop for physical and chemical analysis.
In a place that Lin Yu couldn't see, the wine in Lin You's hand quietly fluctuated, and a tiny drop evaporated and dissolved, and all the molecular formulas inside were displayed on the system's screen.
66: "It's not the same thing. The effects are different, but the production methods are extremely similar. What you saw in Area 23 seems to be an intermediate product of this thing."
"In other words, someone conducted experiments to produce a large number of intermediate products, that is, illegal pheromone preparations, in order to manufacture this, and then these products were circulated on the black market in Area 23 and used by innocent female insects?"
66: “Yes.”
Lin You: "Can you find the origin? Is it District 23?"
Counterfeit pheromone preparations have always been a low-cost, high-profit, violent industry. The huge cash flow brought by fake injections is enough to impress the top leaders of the empire, and mass production requires sophisticated modern factories. These illegal factories cannot be placed on the main star, but must be on remote and uninhabited planets.
66 "I'm not sure if it was produced in Zone 23. I need some air samples from there for analysis."
Pharmaceutical products require sterility, but the air cannot be completely filtered. The composition of air on each planet is different, and as long as there is a sample, 66 can analyze it.
Lin You: "I'll think of a way later."
As he spoke, he looked at the cocktail for a long time, as if fascinated by its color.
The eldest prince leaned against the door frame, not urging her, but just smiled: "Isn't it beautiful? How about it? Do you like my gift?"
Lin You smiled and said, "Of course I like it. Brother knows what I want best."
In the original text, the Third Prince coveted Lan En's beauty, but was afraid of his strength. While he was trying to squeeze him, he was also afraid that he would suddenly explode and put a knife to his neck. Having such a thing would be great.
Lin You accepted it, but Lin Yu had no intention of leaving. He just smiled and said, "Don't you want to try it?"
Lin You also smiled: "Of course I will try."
He waved to the waiter and said excitedly, "Ask Major General Lan to come over."
This was originally part of the content of the novel.
The prince's mansion has many small rooms for guests to rest. Each room is equipped with a large bed, soft bedding, and complete supplies to meet any emergency needs.
Lin You opened the bottle in front of the eldest prince, poured the wine into the glass, and shook it with interest. The eldest prince smiled ambiguously and closed the door for him: "Remember to tell me the effect of using it."
Lin You smiled and nodded. Just as he sat down at the table, 66 suddenly warned: "At 6 o'clock, right above the stained glass vase, there is a pinhole camera."
Lin You glanced and saw the rice-grain-sized lens in the glass texture, reflecting a cold light.
He leaned slightly to the side, pretending to play with the ornaments on the table, half of the view of the camera on his back was completely blocked, and ordered: "Bring up the things I prepared."
The waiters filed in.
*
Ten minutes later, Lane walked up the stairs under the guidance of the waiter.
He pulled off a sapphire brooch from his chest, handed it to the waiter, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, did you tell me why you asked me to come here?"
The banquet was coming to an end. White had behaved himself after being kicked and no longer dared to look at Lane. Everything was in order, but the waiter suddenly summoned him to go upstairs.
The first floor is the banquet hall and the second floor is the guest rooms.
The waiter silently rejected the gem and said, "Your Highness said nothing."
After a moment, he lowered his brows and eyes and reminded cryptically: "His Highness just left."
The Colette family and His Highness have an old grudge, and everyone on the main planet knows it.
Lan En paused, then smiled and said, "Thank you."
Although he was smiling, his smile did not reach his eyes. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was as cold as a frozen mountain that had not melted for a thousand years. But when the door opened to both sides, revealing the handsome face of the Third Prince, Lan En's expression changed instantly. He bowed politely, his eyes sparkling with affection, and smiled: "Good evening, my prince."
"Good evening, Lan."
Lin You pulled out a chair and nodded in greeting: "Come here, I just got a bottle of wine and I want to invite you to taste it."
Lann: "It is my honor to taste fine wine with Your Highness."
He sat down at the table, his deep blue eyes smiling as he glanced at the various wine vessels on the table, but when he saw the wine in Lin You's hand, he suddenly stopped and his face turned pale.
He recognized the color of the wine.
In the warehouse of District 23, in the medicine cabinet of the black market, in the blood flowing in the Third Army comrades as they screamed in pain.
The cherry pink liquid rolled into the transparent glass cup. Lin You pushed it to Lan En in front of the pinhole camera: "Try it."
“…”
If being tortured and molested is just being stuck in the quagmire, then drinking this glass of wine will mean endless eternity.
Lan had imagined this possibility long before he climbed onto the Third Prince's bed, so when they met for the first time, he hid the gloves and coat stained with pheromones and asked Devin to imitate and analyze it.
But the pheromones of high-level male insects are not so easy to imitate. In the end, they even had to use black market methods. That method had extremely negative effects. The injections they developed would cause the body to collapse within two years, until it was difficult to even get out of bed. Many comrades in the Third Army died from this.
But even so, there is still little progress.
Lin You pushed the wine glass forward, urging silently.
If it was before, Lan En would have probably just drank it after weighing the pros and cons, but the Third Prince's unusual attitude gave him some extravagant hopes. Lan En couldn't help but think: If I begged softly...
If he pleaded softly, would the Third Prince be soft-hearted and could he avoid this blame?
He then pursed his lips, forced out a fake smile, and asked softly: "Why does Your Highness want to use this thing?"
Lan En stood up and moved closer to Lin You. He put his fingers on the metal buttons of the uniform and casually peeled off the top two, exposing his slender neck and collarbone. His cold white skin was exposed to the air, causing fine goose bumps.
He sat down next to Lin You, with his skin exposed to the Third Prince's reach. As long as Lin You stretched out his hand, he could slide in through the gap in the uniform and play with everything he wanted to play with.
"These things are so boring to use. Is Lan not obedient enough?"
Lan En stared at him with his azure eyes, sadness hidden deep in his eyes: "Your Highness, if I am obedient enough, can you spare me this glass of wine?"
Lin You hooked the wine glass with his thumb and couldn't hold it anymore.
The wine was fake, he had replaced it, but even so, facing Lan En's sad eyes, Lin You couldn't open his mouth to ask him to drink.
The major general was really sad and really scared.
This is the original plot, and the lines are also the original lines. The description in the novel is: "Through the camera's feedback, you can clearly see Lann drinking the cherry pink liquid. He closed his eyes tightly, and his Adam's apple trembled painfully, as if what he drank was not wine, but hot magma."
"When he finished the cup, two drops of wine rolled down his Adam's apple. His long silver hair was wet with sweat. He staggered and pushed the cup away, half-knelt on the ground, and retched silently."
The original owner of the novel had done such a despicable and shameful thing, that Lin You felt very uncomfortable when he saw it. Now that he had to act it out in front of him, he wanted to drag Lan En away directly, throw the wine on the eldest prince, angrily call him an idiot, and then walk away.
But he couldn't do that.
Lin You has only been here for two months, but he has already felt the undercurrent beneath the surface of the Zerg. Lan En must have been deliberately framed by someone. A major general of a country can only survive by cutting off his tail.
Lin You is currently under the protection of Admiral Hoyle and has not encountered much wind and rain. However, with a little thought, he knows that the prince's position is the eye of the storm. If he is not careful, he will be shattered to pieces. If his personality collapses too much, Admiral Hoyle will be the first to cause trouble for him, not to mention anything else.
Taking the initiative to withdraw from the plot at this time will not only fail to help Lann, but will also force them into a desperate situation.
Lin You glanced at the script and said in a cold voice, not allowing for refusal: "Drink it."
“…”
The light in Lan En's eyes gradually dimmed, and he smiled silently, not knowing whether he was laughing at Lin You or at himself. The smile grew bigger and bigger, so much so that Lan En had to lower his head to hide it.
In the deathly silence, he seemed to have finally accepted his fate and raised his hand to touch the cherry pink wine. His fingertips trembled along with the glass, but when he was halfway through touching the glass, he was stopped by someone.
Lin You turned his back to the camera and lip-synced, "Don't worry, it's okay."
He sighed, trying to grasp the original owner's personality: "Don't be afraid, I'm going too far, this is just a joke."
Before Lan En could react, Lin You finished speaking, took the cup and took a sip, then pulled him over in front of Lan En's surprised gaze and kissed him roughly. From the camera's perspective, it looked like he was forcing Lan En to swallow it with his mouth.
The cherry pink liquid overflowed from the junction of their lips and teeth, rolled down their Adam's apple, and most of it was swallowed by Lin You. Lan En only tasted a little bit between his lips and tongue.
Very sweet, with just a hint of alcohol.
It is white peach sweet wine with cherry blossom pigment added.
Citrus-scented pheromones silently overflowed and lingered around Lan En. Lan En's Adam's apple trembled silently, and cold sweat slightly overflowed from his forehead. Then, Lin You pressed his shoulders and motioned him to half-kneel down and make a retching motion. Lin You touched his trembling back soothingly in a place where the camera could not see, and repeated softly: "Don't be afraid."
After completing all the actions specified in the novel, Lin You pulled the major general into his arms. He was a little smaller than the major general, but this posture was surprisingly harmonious. Lin You stroked Lan's back as if he was comforting a restless large animal. The metal medal on Lan's chest hurt him a little, but Lin You did not let go.
Lin You whispered, "Don't worry, I never thought of feeding you that kind of stuff."
Lann closed his eyes tightly, gasped for a long time, then opened his eyes, glanced at a certain place, and then his pupils shrank.
He saw the rice-grain-sized camera hidden behind the glass screen, flashing a cold light.
The author has something to say:
