Chapter 029 The Usurper Villain Alpha4
The Insect Queen's abnormality was too terrifying, and the human army dared not move rashly, and stood still under Si Wang's orders.
Si Wang looked at the insect mother tumbling in the space with flickering eyes, and couldn't help but associate its abnormality with Jian Ziyan who had just entered.
Countless questions filled his mind. He gripped the joystick so hard that his knuckles turned white. He stared at the insect mother without blinking, not missing any of its movements.
The Zerg Queen's rolling became more and more violent, as if it was fighting with something invisible, and because it was suppressed, it was struggling desperately. Even the Zerg around it were crushed to death by it, and the human fleet was forced to dodge in a panic.
Suddenly, the insect queen stopped struggling and stood quietly in the space. The vigilance and fear in everyone's heart reached the highest level.
However, the next second, the insect queen turned around and left.
Not only itself, but also the surrounding Zerg seemed to have received orders.
They all followed it and turned and left.
The humans were terrified and many of them asked Si Wang what to do. Si Wang was also shocked when he saw this scene.
What's going on? How come the insect queen, who seemed to be determined to fight humans to the death, suddenly changed her mind?
After weighing the pros and cons, Si Wang ordered a retreat.
Even if the Insect Queen is weak, she cannot be defeated by the current force. Insisting on attacking will only result in the soldiers' deaths.
But Jian Ziyan... I'm afraid he will never get out.
Si Wang's eyes were gloomy. He controlled the warship and prepared to turn around and go back.
At this moment, the insect queen, who had not yet completely left, suddenly made a vomiting gesture, and in the human army's instantly alert defense, she suddenly vomited something!
After spitting this thing out, it finally left.
Even Si Wang was stunned by all this unbelievable stuff. He froze for a moment before zooming in on the screen to see what was floating in space after being spit out by the insect mother.
Upon seeing this, he immediately straightened his back.
That thing was exactly the spaceship that Jian Ziyan had just driven into!
Si Wang couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. There was anger, absurdity, and, deep in his heart, a hint of relief that he was unwilling to admit.
He initiated the communication, and the image in the escape ship's cockpit appeared on his screen. He frowned and was about to speak, but the moment he saw the face on the screen clearly, he forgot to react.
That...that is...
He thought that his best friend, Su Sui'an, had already died in the Zerg army.
…
【Jian Ziyan: “…”
419:?
Jian Ziyan: "This world is progressing so fast."
Hearing the trace of regret in his tone, 419 had a bad feeling: "...Are you regretting that you won't be able to sleep with the main character in the future?"
Jian Ziyan: "Well, am I that kind of person?"
Jian Ziyan: "Alas, but when I go back, he probably won't attack me again. I have to think of a way."
419:?
Jian Ziyan: "Now the actors are finally here, the show is about to begin, please forgive me for coming here!"]
In the imperial palace, Si Wang came back with a horrifying look on his face. Everyone was silent, not daring to offend him.
Su Sui'an had been rescued from the escape pod, and as soon as he returned to the imperial palace, he was placed in a nutrition chamber reserved for the emperor. Medical officers and mental healers surrounded him and tried their best to rescue him.
Among them is Bai Mingxi.
Bai Mingxi was also frightened when he first saw Su Sui'an. If Si Wang hadn't signaled to save him, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.
During their treatment, Si Wang kept standing outside and watching everything with that expression on his face. The air pressure around him was so low that people even dared not approach him.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Mingxi came out, wiping the sweat off his face. Meeting his boss's gaze, he nodded tiredly, "His vital signs and mental state are stable, but he has been damaged too much and is very weak. But it's only a matter of time before he recovers."
Si Wang asked in a deep voice: "When can he wake up?"
He had too many questions to ask Su Sui'an. If he hadn't been concerned about his health, he would probably have shaken his shoulders to force him to wake up.
Bai Mingxi looked hesitant: "I'm not sure. If I can continue to use your royal repair chamber, I should wake up within five days."
Five days.
It's okay, he can wait.
The administrator came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, Master Li Shaoqing has been treated, he just had a few scrapes, and has been sent back to the Li family."
Si Wang's eyebrows twitched: "Just a few scratches?"
"Yes, although it looks scary, it is indeed just a scratch. It will be fine after applying some anti-inflammatory medicine."
Si Wang was silent for a moment and once again turned his attention to Su Sui'an who was being treated.
If he still doesn't realize that there is something wrong with Jian Ziyan at this point, then he has sat in this position in vain.
Jian Ziyan's words were vicious, but he didn't really want to hurt Li Shaoqing, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of throwing him into his hands in the end.
What's more, there is Su Sui'an...
Si Wang’s eyes darkened.
He had always thought that Su Sui'an had been thrown out of the warship by Jian Ziyan and had long since been destroyed, but the one who appeared before him now was indeed Su Sui'an, who was still alive.
Then there must be other hidden stories behind that incident.
What's more, Su Sui'an was sent back in the spaceship that Jian Ziyan took away, so it is self-evident who put him in.
Why did Jian Ziyan do this? What did he hide?
If it was really Jian Ziyan who killed Su Suian, how could Su Suian appear in Jian Ziyan’s spaceship?
In Su Sui'an's current state, no one would think that he had climbed into the spaceship by himself.
Si Wang felt increasingly heavy in his heart, and he vaguely felt that he might not be able to bear the truth behind this.
Just when he was in doubt, a guard came to inform him that Hao Hui, the former president of the Imperial Medical Association who had just stepped down, came to ask for a meeting.
The Imperial Medical Association is the largest and most formal medical organization in the empire. Even the exclusive medical officers of emperors of all dynasties were selected from it. It has a very high social status and recognition. The former president, Hao Hui, is a medical genius and has a resounding reputation among both the nobility and the common people.
It's just that he just stepped down a month ago, and left the Imperial Star that night and disappeared. Therefore, even though the empire was in a critical situation recently, he could not be found to come back and help.
Unexpectedly, he would show up at this time.
Si Wang's eyes moved, and he asked someone to take Hao Hui to the study nearby to wait, and then he prepared to rush over.
As soon as he took a step, Bai Mingxi grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Facing Si Wang's cold and questioning gaze, Bai Mingxi mustered up his courage and said, "Si Wang, can you let me go with you?"
Si Wang hesitated for a moment. Bai Mingxi had helped him a lot, so there was no need for him to refuse such a small thing. So he nodded. Bai Mingxi showed a look of joy and quickly raised his legs to catch up.
The two came to the study and met the legendary President Hao Hui.
He is a Beta of considerable age, with silver hair and kind eyes, making him amiable at first sight.
However, this kind-looking old man looked anxious. When he saw Si Wang coming in, he didn't even bother to be polite. He rushed over and grabbed Si Wang's clothes.
This violent behavior stunned everyone. Si Wang did not expect him to be so excited. He raised his hand to stop the guard who wanted to pull Hao Hui away, and said slowly: "President Hao, please don't be anxious. Talk slowly."
Although he looks cold and cruel, he is not a cruel king. He will not convict others without knowing the facts if they offend him. That is what Jian Ziyan would do.
Hao Hui knew that his behavior was very rude, but he didn't care too much. After grabbing Si Wang, he asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, where is Xiao Yan? Where is Xiao Yan?"
This unexpected question left everyone in the study room unresponsive.
Bai Mingxi asked uncertainly: "President Hao, the Xiao Yan you are talking about is... Jian Ziyan?"
After much thought, this person is the most likely candidate, but how is this possible?
Everyone in the empire knows that President Hao Hui is upright and incorruptible. He doesn't even speak harshly to nobles. Even if someone threatens to kill him, he will not bow his head to please someone he hates. That's why he has a very high reputation in the empire.
How could such a person ask in such an inappropriate way...Jian Ziyan?
Hao Hui simply nodded, acknowledging everyone's guess.
"Please forgive my impoliteness. Before I explain, can you answer this question first? Please." The old man looked at everyone eagerly, eager for an answer, "Where is Xiao Yanren? Is he okay?"
Others really didn't know how to answer this question, so they all looked at Si Wang. Noticing everyone's gazes, Hao Hui also fixed his eyes on Si Wang's face, full of urgency.
"Jian Ziyan is not here." Si Wang said in a deep voice, "He escaped from prison."
"What?"
Hao Hui was stunned and muttered to himself: "He escaped from prison? He really escaped from prison? No, why would he escape from prison at this time?"
Hearing the whisper, Si Wang's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"President Hao, do you mean to say that you know about Jian Ziyan's prison break?"
This matter was a secret among the top brass of the empire. Apart from his own troops, no one knew about Jian Ziyan's prison escape. Now that Hao Hui said this, it was obviously a big problem.
Hearing this question, Hao Hui seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked Si Wang up and down carefully, and his eyes became strange.
"Your Majesty, are you...alright?"
Si Wang's eyes and aura darkened, and his calm and courteous appearance just now was immediately filled with a dangerous aura.
"President Hao, I respect your contribution to the empire, but I hope you can understand that the situation is different now. You should answer my questions first."
The pressure from the top Alpha's aura was not something that most people could bear, and Hao Hui was no exception. He took a few hard breaths, and only gradually recovered after Si Wang consciously withdrew his aura.
His eyes finally regained their rationality, but he still did not directly answer Si Wang's question. He looked at Si Wang hesitantly, with a violent struggle on his face.
"President Hao! You'd better tell His Majesty everything you know, otherwise you may not be able to bear the consequences." The administrator hurriedly helped to warn. He knew that Si Wang did not want to deliberately embarrass Hao Hui, and he was the only one who could do this. "Jian Ziyan is now a fugitive with a heavy sentence. Anyone who is related to his escape from prison will be detained and punished according to the laws of the empire."
"I know, but..." Hao Hui sighed heavily. He looked at Si Wang hesitantly again. After seeing his bottomless eyes, he asked softly, "Your Majesty, which mental healer cured your mental damage?"
It was another unexpected question. Si Wang's eyes paused, while Bai Mingxi looked surprised.
The administrator was confused: "Of course it was Lord Bai. He was the only spiritual healer accompanying His Majesty at the time."
"Is that so..."
"No! That's not the case!"
The collision between Hao Hui's hesitant voice and Bai Mingxi's rare intense tone pushed the atmosphere to a more subtle level.
Now, all eyes were focused on Bai Mingxi.
Bai Mingxi's face was pale. He looked at Si Wang anxiously and spoke quickly: "Si Wang, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but you were in a hurry to deal with Jian Ziyan's prison escape at that time, so I didn't have time to tell you. I was planning to tell you as soon as you came back, and then I encountered the matter of Su Suian..."
"Su Sui'an?" Hao Hui interrupted in shock, "Are you talking about the Su Sui'an who died three months ago?"
The vague uneasiness from before resurfaced. Si Wang calmed the two people who were obviously in a mess with a calm look, and looked at Bai Mingxi first: "What's going on?"
Bai Mingxi was extremely anxious, and immediately spoke after getting permission: "You were seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and Doctor Zhang and I were at a loss. Doctor Zhang asked me to give it one last try, but I couldn't fight the mental mark left by the Insect Mother. At that moment, my consciousness suddenly disappeared, as if someone had knocked me out. When I woke up, your mental power had been basically restored, and the mark of the Insect Mother had been erased. I just made the final repairs."
"What did you say?" Si Wang's pupils shrank suddenly, "Then who cured me?"
"This is impossible!" The administrator was also deeply shocked. "Your Majesty, at that time, all the famous mental healers in the empire gathered in the Imperial Palace. Only Lord Bai could barely stabilize your mental power and prevent the damage from spreading. No one else could do anything. If it weren't for Lord Bai, I'm afraid no one in the entire galaxy could save you!"
It was precisely because Bai Mingxi was the only Omega who could possibly become a level 5 mental healer that they had never doubted that Bai Mingxi had saved Si Wang. Now, hearing Bai Mingxi personally deny it, saying that he could not cure Si Wang at the time, things suddenly took a subtle turn.
A certain guess vaguely emerged in Si Wang's mind, but he didn't want to believe it, or even think about it in this direction.
After being silent for a long time, Hao Hui suddenly looked straight at Si Wang.
"Your Majesty, even now, you still can't guess who saved you?"
It was silent.
Si Wang was in great shock and even lost for words for a moment, but Bai Mingxi was not a fool after all. He thought about Hao Hui's reaction and his face turned pale.
"President Hao, you mean..." His voice was out of control.
He trembled uncontrollably, with a mixture of disbelief and shock, "... Is it Jian Ziyan?"
"This is impossible!"
Si Wang voiced strong opposition with a cold and decisive tone.
"Jian Ziyan is an Alpha, and an Alpha with only B-level mental power. How could he be a mental healer? Moreover, he hates me to the core and has tried to kill me many times before. My mental power has been severely damaged. I'm afraid he wants me to die quickly. How could he come to save me?"
Hao Hui showed no surprise at what he said, but just asked, "Are you sure that Jian Ziyan is an Alpha?"
This shocking question left everyone speechless.
Everyone knows that people's gender will be divided at the age of 18, and the Empire's gender testing regulations are very strict, so there is no possibility of falsification.
On the first day of Jian Ziyan's differentiation, he was sent for testing by the Jian family, and the result of B-level mental power Alpha was known to the whole empire.
Could this... be fake?
"What do you mean?" Si Wang's tone was still cold, but he was obviously angry. "Hao Hui, you'd better stop playing dumb and explain everything clearly right away."
He didn't mention the consequences, but everyone could sense that he was issuing an ultimatum.
Hao Hui's face was very ugly. He was in a dilemma: "I shouldn't have said these things... I'm afraid I will ruin Xiaoyan's plan, alas."
"Chairman Hao, is what you said just a little bit short of that? Don't be confused for a moment and lose your life in vain!" The administrator was also anxious. He was really afraid that Si Wang would get angry and directly crush Hao Hui to death.
Hao Hui obviously knew this. In fact, when he impulsively rushed into the imperial palace, he also thought about the possibility of telling everything, but he did not expect that he did not even see Jian Ziyan.
However, now that things have come to this, I am afraid I have no choice but to speak out.
Hao Hui sighed, and his face suddenly became tired and old.
"Your Majesty, I really shouldn't be the one to talk about this, but I'm really worried about Xiaoyan, so after I tell you everything I know, please... tell me the real situation of Xiaoyan now."
Si Wang said nothing.
Hao Hui said: "You must have guessed it. Xiao Yan is indeed not an Alpha. He is actually... an Omega, and an Omega with S-level mental power."
Even though he had already guessed this possibility, the feeling that the dust had settled still shook Si Wang's heart, like a volcanic eruption causing a violent tsunami.
"Omega...?" The last bit of color left Bai Mingxi's face and he became completely stunned.
The most important reason why he hated Jian Ziyan was because of what he had done to him... But if Jian Ziyan was an Omega, how could that have happened? Was it just his own imagination?
No, this is impossible. The humiliation and pain I felt at that time are still vivid in my mind. How could this be fake? !
Bai Mingxi began to tremble all over and was about to faint. The administrator immediately supported his body and prevented him from falling.
He was also stunned with shock, totally unable to believe what he heard.
The only one who remained rational was Si Wang. Even though his heart was devastated, he still maintained a calm appearance.
He asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, because I was the one who personally changed his gender test report." Hao Hui said, "His real test report is stored in my computer. If Your Majesty wants, I can find it and show it to you right away."
Si Wang didn't say anything, but signaled with his eyes to retrieve it immediately.
Hao Hui turned on the computer without saying a word. At this point, there was no point in hiding it any further.
After seeing the solid test report, Si Wang fell into a long silence.
Bai Mingxi almost fainted, but he pinched his thigh hard and saved himself from the brink of fainting.
He didn't care about anything else, and held onto Hao Hui tightly with his slender hands, almost pleading: "President Hao, tell me, what is going on? This is impossible. If he is an Omega, then what about my previous experience? Is my resentment just wishful thinking?"
"Master Bai, calm down!"
The administrator hurriedly tried to pull Bai Mingxi, but he was pushed away and just looked at Hao Hui persistently.
Hao Hui looked at him reluctantly: "Kid, I know how you feel now, but what I said is true. Xiaoyan is indeed an omega..."
"Impossible!" Bai Mingxi said sharply, "I, I still can't forget everything that happened that night. How could he be an Omega?!"
"That's why Xiao Yan was able to hide it from everyone." The old man who had dominated the title of the empire's number one genius doctor for many years suddenly revealed a look of admiration from the bottom of his heart. "Xiao Yan's mental power is not only S-level, but a year ago, he had already become a fifth-level mental healer. This news is just like his gender. Only I know it."
"What?"
Even Si Wang, who was the calmest, couldn't suppress the horror on his face.
No one in the entire galaxy does not know what a level five mental healer means. Even Bai Mingxi, a level five embryo, can enjoy such privileges and attention, let alone a true level five mental healer.
It is a miracle that is a hundred times rarer than an S-class Alpha and is hard to find in the entire galaxy.
There are no level five mental healers in the interstellar world today. If what Hao Hui said is true, Jian Ziyan is the only one in the entire interstellar world and an irreplaceable treasure.
If this is really the case, then what did all of them do?
Si Wang’s face turned paler little by little.
Hao Hui didn't know what he was thinking, and continued, "There hasn't been a level 5 mental healer in nearly a thousand years. That's a field that none of us can reach. Xiao Yan is undoubtedly the most brilliant one. He discovered that mental power can not only be used to cure diseases, but also to control and kill people, and even change people's thinking and memory. Your memory of that incident was deliberately fabricated by Xiao Yan, and it's fake."
This sentence was said to Bai Mingxi, and Bai Mingxi obviously could not accept this explanation.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible... Why would he do this? If he is really a level 5 mental healer, why would he go to so much trouble to design all this? As long as he reveals his identity, the entire empire will support any decision he makes! Why would he want to... kill me and Si Wang out of jealousy?"
This is exactly the deepest problem in Si Wang and Bai Mingxi's hearts.
Si Wang has no obsession with returning to the Jian family, and Bai Mingxi will simply choose to ignore the pursuit of people he doesn't like. However, Jian Ziyan chose the most drastic means. After being rejected by Bai Mingxi, he turned love into hate, and either forced or threatened him. After knowing Si Wang's true identity, he also killed him ruthlessly and wished to kill him.
His previous words could be said to be because he was afraid of losing everything he had gained, but if he was really a fifth-level mental healer, and a fifth-level mental healer who was only twenty years old, as long as he raised his arm and called for it, fame, wealth and honor would be within his reach.
The Jian family? In front of him, the Jian family is not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
Why did he go to such great pains to hide all this... and try so hard to kill them?
There was a hint of deep hope in Si Wang's eyes as he looked at Hao Hui. He wanted but was also afraid of hearing the answer that was about to come. He was afraid that this terrible truth would completely ruin him.
"Because Xiaoyan was infected with a brain worm." As if they were not frightened enough, Hao Hui threw out another shocking secret, "He knew he was about to die, so he made a crazy plan."
"No..." Si Wang finally spoke, but his voice was as ethereal as a ghost, "Impossible..."
"If it weren't for Xiao Yan, I would also think this is impossible. I don't believe that there are humans in this world who can stop the invasion of brain worms. But the fact is that we have greatly underestimated the power of a level 5 mental healer." Hao Hui's eyes were filled with tears, but he could not suppress his admiration. "He is the first person in human history who was parasitized by a brain worm but resisted its control."
Si Wang's face also became as miserable as a ghost.
"Let's take a step back and say that if Xiao Yan is not a level 5 mental healer, then who cured His Majesty's injury?" Hao Hui asked sharply, "You have admitted that Bai Mingxi, who is most likely to treat His Majesty, is also unable to do so. Who else do you think can restore His Majesty's health overnight?"
The wandering thoughts before were slammed down and hammered into the abyss. The possibility that I had never dared to think about had come true.
Si Wang couldn't help but take a step back, and in a fit of rage, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.★
But now everyone was immersed in this shock, and no one came to treat him.
"...So he had always wanted me to kill him. When I first caught him, he not only did not resist, but kept provoking me." Si Wang spoke hoarsely, "It's not that he can't escape, but he doesn't want to escape at all. He wants to die."
"Who would want to die if there is hope of survival?" Hao Hui whispered, "You haven't been infected with a brain worm, so you don't know how terrifying it is. Your thoughts and consciousness are controlled, especially when you still have self-awareness. Watching your body being invaded and eaten away bit by bit, your thoughts and emotions no longer belong to you. It's a terrible cage."
There was a strong sense of pain in Si Wang's eyes. He recalled the expression on Jian Ziyan's face when he said he wanted to kill him. There was clearly a suppressed expectation in the depths of those eyes, but he concealed it under his flamboyant appearance, and everything he said was regarded as a provocation.
Why didn't he see it?
...How could he not see that?
It was a person's will to die, and also an extremely obscure cry for help.
He was begging him to kill him, he was begging him to give him freedom.
But instead of saving him, he inflicted even more cruel harm on him.
Si Wang's heart seemed to fall into an icy abyss. In the numb pain, he heard Bai Mingxi asking softly.
"You just said he had a crazy plan. What is that plan? Can you tell us now?"
Hao Hui's eyes turned serious.
"He knew he was going to die, so he wanted to find someone to take his place and protect the empire."
