Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

The black portal has been refusing to open the other end for a long time.Mo was very scared, but the gene firmly fixed him here to wait for his fate, like a puppet held by someone else's silk thread.

Finally, a door of light appeared in front of the darkness.

Mo took two steps and stopped, then walked out of the portal tremblingly.He returned to the planet of the dragon people, the empty place in front of the martyrdom.In front of him stood many clansmen holding torches, and an old man with a white beard.They have the same appearance as him, but they all look unfriendly.Mo looked at them carefully, wondering what they were going to do to him.

"MO, you did not complete your mission. You are the first sacrificer of the dragon race rejected by advanced civilization." The patriarch's tone was regretful.

"What sacrificer?" Mo looked at them in bewilderment, "Jin was just angry for a while, he didn't really want me."

"Did he admit you to be his spouse?"

Mo couldn't answer, and in his memory, Jean had never told anyone that he was his spouse.

"Is this the first time he's left you?"

Mo couldn't answer either. Not long ago, Jean wanted to leave him alone in Murloc Port.

"Does he have a favorite kind?"

Mo's heart ached, and he remembered the scene he saw again.

"You can still say that you have fulfilled your mission?" The patriarch's tone gradually became cold.

Mo was speechless.Although he didn't understand what the patriarch's so-called mission was, such a scene made him not even have the courage to ask.

The patriarch's majestic voice sounded like a high-ranking judge.

"MO, you are a clansman who was sacrificed. From the moment you were sent into the portal, you shouldered the responsibility of protecting the entire clan. Now you have returned with your life, putting all clansmen in danger of being angered by advanced civilizations .”

Mo listened to the words he didn't understand, and looked at those unfriendly faces, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually spread.He turned his head suddenly and wanted to go back to the portal, but the portal behind him had long since disappeared.

"From now on, you can't enter the forest where the clansmen live, and you can't enter the place of death. Because no matter whether you live or die, you are not worthy to be a member of the dragon people." After finishing speaking, the patriarch pointed to a shallow stone cave outside the border of the place of death , "There is your only home."

"Don't..." Mo shook his head desperately.He still remembered the cold, frozen body he had seen there, which was his own.

"I want Jean, I want to go back!" Mo ran to the patriarch, grabbed his clothes and begged, "Jin won't let me go, please let me go back!"

The Patriarch looked at him.The pity in his eyes was ruthless to Mo.

"It's a pity that I can't send you back, because the advanced civilization has declared that you will be rejected. If I send the unwelcome people back and anger them, no one can afford this responsibility."

At this time, some of the clansmen holding torches began to speak loudly.

"He's too selfish, he only wants to save his own life, and doesn't care about the lives of his clansmen at all!"

"Why did you choose him in the first place? Isn't this causing trouble for us?"

"It's no wonder your spouse doesn't want you, and no one in the clan wants you!"

"Yes! We don't welcome you either, leave our planet!"

The more the clansmen talked, the more excited they were, waving torches high and loudly condemning Mo.Mo hurriedly let go of the patriarch in fear, but was forced to retreat again and again by his compatriots, and finally retreated into the cave.The patriarch sighed deeply, and spoke to Mo in a sympathetic tone.

"This is your only destination. You have seen the anger of the clansmen. If you dare to enter their residence without permission, you should know what will happen."

"I want to go back." Mo plucked up the last courage and begged on his knees, "Please send me back to Jean, he will never be really angry with me, he won't..."

"Obey your fate, MO." After the patriarch finished speaking, he turned and led the tribe out of the clearing.

The light from the torch gradually faded, and the surroundings became dark.The silhouette of the towering tree looks very scary at night.A gust of cold wind blows, and the temperature keeps dropping at night, and Mo's body temperature is getting closer to the temperature of the natural environment.He curled up in the cave, timidly looking at the dark and cold world around him, he had never been so afraid.

Trembling, he took out the little golden statue of Jean from his pocket, held it up to his cheek and rubbed it, as if he was usually coquettish to him.

"Jin, Mo wants to go back to the big ship..."

He murmured, tears falling on the little golden statue.He thought of the researcher who liked to make fun of him, Cook who made him jerky, Rodney who took care of him, and Gene.He really wanted to go back to them and live happily with them. MO was never his name, nor was it his planet.He relies on the harbor of nostalgia, which is somewhere far away at this moment.

"Mo wants to go home..."

Popola Star, Giselle's Home

Jean sat in the living room on the first floor, covering his face with his hands and was silent for a long time.There was a communicator in front of him, and there was a message from Rodney on it, which he had just seen.

"The records of the portal show that Mo followed you to Planet Popole. Please bring him back safely."

By this time Gene's mind had calmed down.He knew that all of this was his fault, but just now, when he was shocked, he took all his anger on Mo and said harsh words to him.Gene calmed down, returned to the door on the second floor, and opened the door of the room.However, when he walked into the room, he found that the room was empty.

"ink?!"

Unexpectedly, Gene began to search everywhere, in the closet, under the bed, and on the balcony.He ran to the first floor, the courtyard, and turned the whole house upside down, not even letting the trees go, but there was no one there.

Gene couldn't help being anxious and worried. He ran out of Giselle's house and started knocking on doors and asking.In the quiet alley, the door lights of one house after another were lit up, and after a while the whole alley knew that an orc was lost.A kind neighbor walked out of the house and helped Jean go to the street to inquire.But not to mention finding Mo, no one has even seen him.

It was a sleepless night like this.

Evening, Red Giant Star

When the portal siren sounded, Rodney was the first to run to the mech.However, he only saw Gene with a tired face.

"Captain, where's Mo?" Rodney felt a bad premonition.

Gene said nothing.He walked out of the transfer area with heavy steps, and sat on the high steps used for mecha repair.He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead with his hands, relieving the fatigue of staying up all night, while thinking about what to do next.

"Did Mo get lost?" Rodney saw something, and he didn't dare to disturb him loudly, but he couldn't help but worry about asking.

"He triggered the timeline and sent Giselle away. I couldn't help yelling at him, but he didn't know where he was going." Gene's tone was full of regret, "I searched all over the nearby area, and there was no one. People saw him. An orc with a tail is so conspicuous, how can no one see it?"

Rodney listened to his description, "Will he accidentally pass himself away?"

Gene didn't speak, and that was what worried him the most.An idiot who is picky about food, afraid of the cold, and ignorant of the heights of the outside world, probably won't be able to last even a day alone.It was him who spoiled him so much that he couldn't survive independently.It was also himself who pushed him out of the protection range.If anything happened to Mo, Jin would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Gene breathed a sigh of relief, "The mothership activates the portal to land on Popole star, ready to conduct a large-scale search. Even if he teleports himself to the ends of the earth..."

He stopped in mid-sentence.He suddenly remembered that last time on the planet of the dragon people, Mo had been looking at that cave.At that time, Gene felt that he had foreseen something in the future.

"Turn on the tracker, and immediately locate the position of the dragon-human planet!" Jean stood up and ordered.

Rodney understood what he meant, "The captain is saying that Mo is on the planet of the dragon people? I will go to confirm the location immediately!"

Gene watched Rodney leave with hope, but the cloud in his heart could not be dispelled.Because he still remembers Mo's expression when he stopped there last time, if he was really there, what he saw would be...

An hour later, the planet of the dragon people

A portal opened, and Gene and Rodney came directly to the place of death.Before they left last time, they left their locators here.When the two walked out of the portal, it was a sunny day outside, and various birdsong and insects could be heard in the nearby woods, which was completely different from the silence before.

"Sure enough, last time we were blinded by illusions.

Gene took out his laser pistol and signaled to Rodney to be more vigilant.The two quickly passed through a woodland, and not far away was the open place in front of the place of death.Jean ran at full speed to the border of the place of death, but gradually slowed down when he came near the cave.His heartbeat accelerated due to nervousness, his breathing was unconsciously wrong, and he wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound.

Because he saw a figure in the shallow stone cave, wearing his familiar clothes, but lying there motionless.

Jean's footsteps gradually became difficult.When he came to a distance of three to forty meters, he stopped, not daring to go any further.

"Mo." He mustered up the courage to shout, his voice trembling.

The figure never jumped up like usual, ran towards him with its tail flicking, and plunged into his arms.He still lay there peacefully, motionless.

"Mo..." Gene's voice changed, and his vision began to be blurred by tears.

Only then did Rodney catch up to him and saw the scene in front of him before he could catch his breath.His eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he saw.

"ink!"

Rodney yelled and ran over, threw himself down in front of the cave and picked up the man.He shook his body desperately, but the stiff and cold body did not respond, and the tail that loved to whip him no longer curled up.With a bang, the little golden statue in his hand fell to the ground.

Gene stood there, looking at the golden statue that fell to the ground, at Rodney who was crying heartbreakingly, and the body he held tightly in his arms.It was like an auditory hallucination, as if his voice sounded again.

"Gene hug!"

"Gene, I'm hungry!"

"This is Jean's den!"

"Gene?"

"Gene!"

At that moment, his time seemed to stop.
