Lan Yu had a gloomy face, but Lu Rankong didn't notice his abnormality. He lowered his head and opened the terminal to talk. "How are you guys? Well, you're doing very well. Let the military deal with the Zerg. They will send starships to drive them out of the galaxy..."
"After the Insect King ran away, the insect swarm dispersed. They have already dealt with the follow-up. Let's go, don't dawdle any longer. The Insect King must have hidden somewhere, let's find him quickly." After closing the terminal, he turned around and was about to leave, urging.
Lan Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Who is dawdling? You can get ashore over there, but you have to swim so long to get here."
Lu Rankong pretended not to hear anything and walked straight along the path by the lake. Lan Yu sat on the ground angrily and didn't move.
After walking a distance, he stopped and turned around, saying earnestly: "How come you have no discipline at all? Don't be so irritable now, don't you know that the overall situation is more important?"
"roll……"
"Okay, okay, then let's go our separate ways. I'll just--" Lu Rankong stopped talking before he could finish his sentence and suddenly fell silent.
Lan Yu lowered her head and began to put on her shoes, thinking about going to the police after leaving the park and asking them to find a place for her to rest. Or you can find a hotel nearby, take a bath in a tub of hot water, go to the supermarket to buy Xinya brand shower gel, feel the breeze in the desert, and put on a hydrating mask. I also want a cup of coffee, with lots of milk and sugar...
As for the half-dead insect king, let the police and Lu Rankong find it.
"K, I found the trace of the Insect King." Lu Rankong shouted excitedly.
Lan Yu didn't take it seriously. She sneered and continued putting on her shoes.
"K, come quickly and take a look. This road is covered with the blood of the insect king. It is obvious that it came ashore from here and then escaped along the path."
Lan Yu didn't want to pay attention to him, but when she heard his voice didn't sound fake, she turned her head slightly and glanced over.
I saw Lu Rankong squatting on the ground, stretching out his hand to scratch the grass leaves on the side of the road, then raising his fingers to his nose and sniffing.
Lan Yu: ...
"Let's follow the blood trail to find that dog. It's seriously injured now. It can't fly and it doesn't dare to hurt anyone. We can't let it hide and recuperate." Lu Rankong stood up and faced the direction of Lan Yu.
Lan Yu knew that now was not the time to be angry. If there really was any trace of the Insect King, she had to find it no matter what. So she quietly tied her shoelaces, stood up and walked over.
When he got closer, Lu Rankong did not move. He just put one hand on his chest and the other on his chin, looking at him without saying a word.
Lan Yu raised her eyebrows impatiently.
"I said I was going to find the Insect King, but you didn't go against me. I was surprised. I was mentally prepared to fight with you." Lu Rankong said.
Lan Yu said with a gloomy face: "Colonel Lu, how come you have no discipline at all? Don't be angry now, do you know that the overall situation is more important?"
Lu Rankong didn't say anything else. He just nodded at the grass beside him, motioning him to look.
There is a short street lamp every ten meters or so on both sides of the path, emitting soft light.
Lan Yu squatted under the light to check, and saw spots of green and black sticky liquid on the grass leaves.
After he stood up, Lu Rankong turned around and walked forward, and Lan Yu followed him.
The two followed the path, following the blood trail of the Insect King. In the quiet park, the only sound that could be heard was the squeaking sound of the water-soaked military boots under my feet.
"The Insect King did not rush into the city randomly, nor did he stumble into the park by accident. He chose this route with a purpose."
Lu Rankong lowered his head and suddenly spoke. Lan Yu was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was talking to her.
"Why do you say that?" he asked.
"The Jie bugs live on the planet Longte and are used by the Longte people. When the Longte people were driven out of the Sasu star system a hundred years ago, the Jie bugs stayed in our star system and lived on a deserted planet called Kulun. Because they are relatively well-behaved and only one or two appear occasionally, we did not kill all of these interstellar beasts."
"If they hadn't received an order or summons, they wouldn't have left Kulun in such a large group. Since they came to Kata Star and headed straight for this city, and even adjusted their route to rush into the park, there must be something unusual nearby. Or, the park is a place they are passing through to their destination."
Lan Yu turned her head to look at Lu Rankong.
In the moonlight, his wet hair was pushed back, revealing his full forehead. Normally this hairstyle would make a person look ugly, but his features were fully revealed, his eyebrows became deeper, his nose became straighter, and a shadow was cast on his cheek.
Lan Yu had to admit that although this man was annoying, he was indeed good-looking, which made him look at him several times.
Lu Rankong also noticed his gaze and looked back.
Lan Yu looked away instantly and said coldly, "Stop talking so much nonsense, why don't you hurry up and find it?"
"Is this nonsense? You are a martial arts lunatic with nothing in your head. I am imparting knowledge to you. I am sincere and sincere. Do you understand?"
"roll……"
"What else can you say besides get lost?"
"roll……"
The two of them kept arguing all the way and unknowingly walked to the edge of the park. The bloodstains disappeared here.
In front of me is a row of tall iron fences, and I can see the roofs and lights of villas through the dense shadows of the trees opposite.
Under the streetlight, a few drops of green slime hung on the rusty iron fence. Lu Rankong took a closer look, pointed his finger at it, and said, "There are traces of the insect king's blood on the fence. It must have climbed over from here."
Seeing that his fingers were about to touch the mucus, Lan Yu took a half step back in disgust, glancing at him from the side.
Lu Rankong noticed his movements from the corner of his eyes, stopped and looked at himself, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Lan Yu frowned and said, "You knew clearly that it was the blood of the Insect King, but you still touched it with your fingers. Are you going to put it under your nose and smell it next?"
"Nonsense, how can you be sure I was going to touch it? I just made a movement." Lu Rankong withdrew his finger with a surprised look on his face, "And who said I wanted to smell it?"
Lan Yu looked at him quietly, with a sharp look in her eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Lu Rankong continued to focus on the fence. After a few seconds, he turned his head and said angrily, "Aren't you used to this?"
Lan Yu sneered, ignored him, and started looking around to see if there was a door or gap to get in. Extending my sight forward, I saw what seemed to be an iron gate not far away.
He was just about to go over to see if the door was locked when he heard a light sound of something falling to the ground behind him.
Lu Rankong stood on the lawn inside the fence, patted the dust off his hands, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Let's go look for it separately, you on the left and I on the right."
He took a few steps to the right before realizing something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Lan Yu who was still standing there, and asked in surprise, "What are you hesitating about? Are you trying to find a door to come in?"
Lan Yu had no choice but to hold the iron railing with both hands, jump to the top, and then flip over.
This villa area is built next to the central park where every inch of land is valuable and covers a large area. It can be seen that the people living in it are either rich or noble.
The two soon found the bloodstains of the Insect King on a lawn and continued to search forward.
They passed through the fragrant nanmu forest, bypassed the fountain with sculptures, and when they turned behind a villa, they suddenly stopped.
Under the bright but not glaring street lights, the insect king they were looking for was lying motionless on the stone railing outside the villa. At first glance, it looked like a rockery built there.
A leaf fell on its wings, and a gust of wind blew it away, and it slid down again.
Tick, tick, that's the sound of green slime dripping down the stone railing.
Lu Rankong made a gesture, and the two men drew their daggers and approached slowly and cautiously.
When they walked to the side of the Insect King and saw its current appearance clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief and put away the dagger.
The crab's bowl-sized eyeballs had lost their luster and looked like two gray pebbles. The tentacles hung limply, and the big hole in the neck pierced by Lan Yu was still oozing green blood.
Obviously dead.
"We have been chasing it since noon, and it has been so hard. Finally, we have solved it." Lu Rankong kicked the corpse of the insect king with his leather boots, "The rest will be left to the police station."
"Then you notify the police station. I don't care anymore." Lan Yu relaxed and shouted "cut" in her heart. Then she pressed her right shoulder, moved her arm, and walked along the fence to the front of the villa.
"Yes, the Jie worm... It's in the villa area near the park. It's dead..."
The voice of Lu Rankong speaking on the terminal came into his ears.
The family in the villa had not yet gone to bed and had not noticed any movement outside. The ground floor was completely dark, with only a few windows on the second floor showing lights.
Lan Yu looked at the row of white marble railings stained green by insect blood and thought that if they were to clean it up tomorrow, they would be busy for a while.
Just as I was daydreaming, I realized that Lu Rankong had ended the call and was looking down at the Insect King.
He just wanted to find a hotel to take a shower and sleep, so he asked loudly: "Are you going to wait here? I have to leave..."
Lu Ran turned his back and didn't reply. Lan Yu didn't want to waste any more time with him and simply turned around and left.
After taking two steps, I heard him suddenly say, "K, come over here and take a look. There's something wrong."
Lan Yu kept walking, "If he's not dead yet, just stab him again. Do you still need me to teach you how to do it?"
The person behind her fell silent. Lan Yu took two steps forward and couldn't help but look back. She saw Lu Rankong holding the stone railing with one hand, taking a step with his long legs, and easily climbing into the garden.
"What do you want to do!" he asked in astonishment, "Are you addicted to climbing over fences?"
"I think this is very strange. There might be something wrong with this family." Lu Rankong looked at him and nodded towards the house next to him. "Come in, let's go take a look."
"What could be their problem? Didn't they come out to serve you tea or water?"
Lu Rankong seemed to think for a moment and asked, "Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning?"
"You've been talking nonsense all the time, how am I supposed to know which part it is."
"The one who imparts knowledge to you."
"Is there such nonsense? I don't remember it..."
Lu Rankong waved to him, "Come in, I'll tell you again."
"Not interested..."
Lan Yu turned around and was about to leave again. Lu Rankong hurriedly said, "The Jie insect came here from Kulun Star. It should have been ordered or summoned by the Longte Star people. It just ran straight to this villa area and tried to climb into this house. Why do you think it was because of this?"
Lan Yu paused, thinking of the green man who was shot dead in Cactus Square a few days ago.
"You're right. Just like the bomb maniac we killed a few days ago, there must be a Longte in this villa." Lu Rankong lowered his voice and said, "The Insect King can sense the presence of the Longte. It came to ask for help, but was stabbed by us and died before entering the villa."
"It wasn't us, it was me. I was the one who killed the Longte alien, and I was the one who stabbed the insect king." Lan Yu corrected his words with dissatisfaction.
"Why are you still fussing over this now? Isn't the point that there are people from Longte in this villa?"
"What if it's the Insect King who ran here in panic? And it's pitch black. Wouldn't it be okay for it to run around blindly?" Having already obeyed the military's order to kill the Insect King, Lan Yu didn't want to care about the Longte people anymore. He just wanted to find a hotel to rest.
Besides, today’s scenes have ended and have been cut.
"In the eyes of the Jie insect, there is no night or day, and this interstellar beast is extremely obedient to orders. Without the summons of the Longte people, it would not have been possible for it to run so far and choose only this house."
Lan Yu turned her head away, indicating that you were just farting.
"The Longte people are very cunning, I need your help." Lu Rankong said.
Lan Yu had a stubborn expression of refusal on her face. "You are more cunning than the Longte people. They need help now."
Lu Rankong stared at him, but the light was shining behind him so he couldn't see the expression on his face. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Then go away. I can do it on my own."
Lan Yu really turned around and left.
He was walking alone on the path in the woods. The nanmu forest beside him rustled in the night wind, casting swaying shadows.
Looking at the ferocious shadows of the trees in the darkness ahead, he suddenly stopped, feeling a little scared.
Reason told him that even if ten ghosts suddenly appeared now, with K's ability, he could beat them and send them to reincarnation.
——Besides, there are no ghosts in this world except giant cockroaches and green-skinned people.
Haha, all fears are imagined by people, and they scare themselves.
Five seconds later, he turned around and walked back, his steps getting faster and faster, and finally he started to jog.
Lu Rankong looked up at the second floor of the villa and prepared to climb along the outer wall to the balcony. Just as he put his hand on hers, he heard Lan Yu's cold voice, "Are you planning to break into the house and steal?"
He turned around suddenly and saw Lan Yu standing outside the tightly closed iron gate of the villa, looking at him through the gaps in the carved patterns.
"Whether I'm stealing or doing something else is none of your business." He said unhappily and continued to climb up.
Beep——
The shrill and sharp doorbell rang rapidly, one after another, breaking the quiet night.
"Who is it?" There was a click in front of the iron door of the villa, and the video call was turned on.
"Open the door, the military is checking." Lan Yu said.
"Fuck you!" Lu Rankong looked at the second floor, then at the direction of the iron gate, quickly slid down the wall, ran across the garden and flipped out.
