Zerg friends are also delicious

After lying in the hospital for two days, Eden followed his parents back to Looster's residence in the Sistle area of ​​Red Hart.

Sistle District is only for princes and aristocrats to buy real estate. It is quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle, retro and natural, and it is dominated by vast suburban manors.The Loosters were the most conspicuous of them all.

It is many times more spacious and luxurious than Eden's residence near the school. It has a super large front yard, backyard, swimming pool, roof garden and other leisure facilities. The fully transparent glass windows provide excellent lighting and excellent views.As soon as you look up when eating breakfast outdoors, there is a lush greenery, which makes the insects feel refreshed.

In a daze, Eden thought he had returned to the Bruskay family's main house.

Interrupting this illusion is the multiplication of strange attendants and security bugs who are on duty in shifts and are so strict that a fly cannot fly in.

The Grand Duke of Looster had always hated such spectacles.His hen father is very private.Eden was puzzled by this.

With the continuous in-depth investigation of the kidnapping case by the Imperial Security Bureau, Eden got the answer.

Gang leader Gudabeji - the fire-scarred female - was once a very good enforcer of the Imperial Intelligence Service.

Compared with his colleagues, Gudabeiji is too idealistic.But he is very capable, coupled with his diligence, he sticks to the front line even if he is injured, and takes the completion of the task as the top priority. Therefore, he has made great achievements at a young age, was promoted to an A-level executor, and was entrusted with important tasks.

More than 30 years ago, during a rescue mission outside the Imperial Starfield, Gudabeji used himself as a bait to create an escape opportunity for the target insect and its companions.

The mission was successfully completed, but Guda Beiji was trapped behind enemy lines.The female, who was out of ammunition and food, tried every means to send a distress signal to her superiors before she lost contact completely.

Twelve hours later, the intelligence bureau integrated information from all parties and gave up the follow-up rescue of Guda Beiji on the grounds that "the probability of survival is extremely low and he is presumed dead".

This is a lie.

Turning over the mission files covered with dense "confidential" seals, the real reason why the Intelligence Agency gave up the rescue was revealed to all the insects-the cost was too high and the benefits were too low.

Gudabeji is indeed good, but not irreplaceable.In those years, the intelligence agency's budget was cut by more than half at the request of Congress.Rescuing Guda Beiji not only requires a large sum of star coins, but also some political interests.

How to choose is clear at a glance.

Before this kidnapping case, those who knew Guda Beiji thought he died in a distant alien planet.No one knows how he returned to Red Hart in a different form, and how he quietly built such a huge criminal empire in the red heart of the empire in decades.

"The Public Security Bureau thought he came to me for revenge on the female father?" Eden's eyes widened.

"Judging from the list of males Guda Beiji handled, the proportion of male cubs of noble origin is very large." Xia En's voice was cold and his expression was serious.

"This is very unreasonable. Compared with civilians, kidnapping and reselling a noble male cub is more costly and risky. Even if he can sell it for a better price, it is not worthwhile."

"If you think of it as Gudabeji's deliberate contempt for the imperial regime, it makes sense."

"But the female father has been away from the Intelligence Bureau for many years. What happened to Guda Beiji back then is not directly related to him?" Eden pointed out doubts.

Xia En was silent for two seconds, then looked at Eden with regret in his eyes: "Not only because of Lloyd, but also me."

The Looster family has always had a high reputation in the empire.For the past 20 years, Shane Looster, as the youngest S-class male, has been the well-deserved face and mascot of the empire.Plus the Imperial Marshal Clive...

Turning their worm cubs into their own sex|slaves... just thinking about it makes criminals shudder.

Eden recalled that "you have more chances than other worms" that the female worm often said... Apparently, Gudabeji knew his identity from the very beginning.It was even possible that the kidnapping had been planned long before he was harassed.

Gudabeji also has accomplices at large.The Public Security Bureau is tracking and arresting.For the safety of Eden, Shane ordered to strengthen the patrol and security of the park. Lloyd personally participated in the formulation of the security plan of the manor and the investigation of the kidnapping case.

Excluding Dean, the remaining four shadows followed, and together with the guards brought by Xia En, they guarded the safety of the little male.

No matter how much he shouted "too exaggerated" and "unnecessary" in his heart, on the surface, Eden quietly accepted the status quo of being followed by guards wherever he went.

He can't take any more risks.

Because of him, after returning to the imperial capital, the Marshal of the Empire, who was busy with daily affairs, only went out two or three times.All that can be pushed will be pushed away, and all official affairs that can be handled will be handled at home.Also because of him, His Excellency the Grand Duke, who hates staying at home the most, squatted at home and even started tending flowers and plants to pass the time.

For "the soon-to-be-born insect cubs".Shane and Lloyd claim so.But Eden knew very well that this was just an excuse not to make him feel guilty.

His female father is an S-class female, and it is far from enough to give birth to a single cub (even if he is an advanced birth mother) to be raised at home.

They are making up for the absence of previous parental roles.

Eden could feel it.

Every time he gets close to Lloyd, there is always a hidden trace of "guilt", "pity" and "fear" in the emotion that the female worm exudes.At this time, Eden would hug his female father without saying anything, letting him feel the fact that he was still safe and still here.

In contrast to the uneasiness and fragility rarely displayed by the Marshal of the Empire, the Grand Duke of Looster was very calm and indifferent - before and after the incident, his attitude towards Iden was no different.

"It is said that the worm will soften his heart when he gets older."

Xia En stared at the fiercely shaking game screen, and quickly said without raising his eyelids: "Well, it may also be due to unstable hormones during pregnancy."

"Me? Oh. Scared when I first heard the news. But I know you'll be fine. You're my worm and I have faith in you. I won't lose you."

"Hey! Here it is again! This trick again! Eden, come help me! This map really makes me want to throw up! Master of the universe, No.17 times, No.18 times ...."

Eden stared blankly at the gamepad thrown by Shane.

Father Xiong, did you forget that I will take the entrance exam in five days?

You play games like this every day, don’t you think something is wrong?

***

"He doesn't think so."

Lucian sat cross-legged at the table, biting potato chips with puffed cheeks, and said inarticulately:

"Norris, do you dare to imagine that there are such parents? My worms are so nervous about the college entrance examination that they can't sleep well, but they are online playing games all night?"

"They muttered to each other for three nights. I thought they were discussing which university to go to, and I was a little moved. It turned out... Hehehe, what they are mysteriously researching is actually a game guide!"

"My father-in-law used the rest time to go to the school over there to find out news for me when he went to the Laqier competition. What about him? He is so idle at home that he is about to germinate and doesn't care about me. Isn't that too much?!"

Lucian accuses Quinn.Eden nodded sympathetically.

They are such a group of teenagers.Desperate to prove his independence.Parents are too annoying to care too much.But when the parents are completely indifferent, they feel abandoned in their hearts.

"...well, maybe they just don't want to make a mess?" Norris tried to reconcile the two young males.

"..."

"..."

This is the penultimate day before the entrance exam.Sunday, June 2331, 6 Imperial Calendar.Muronia's graduating class is all on vacation.

Also on this day, they will receive the entrance examination information sent by the Central Intellectual Brain - the area coordinates of the examination, the school of the examination, the specific classroom and seat number, the time of each course, etc.

All candidates in the entire empire, regardless of origin or hierarchy, were randomly matched and combined on a planet-by-planet basis in the database.

If you are unlucky, the location assigned by Brain to the candidates will be very remote, and the candidates will have to check into a nearby hotel two or three days in advance.With luck, they might be able to go together.

Time is up.The three worms lowered their heads and refreshed the terminal.Tens of seconds later, they projected their entrance examination information on the light screen above the table, and searched for the location on the star network.

Lucian and Norris were assigned to the same district, and the school for the exam was only two blocks away.Eden is in a high school three hours away from Muronia, adjacent to the Sistle district, so there is no need to go there in advance.

Seth's...

【Seth, hurry up, hurry up!You are missing! 】

In the group of four insects, Lucian urged wildly.Finally, Seth sent a screenshot of his entrance exam information.It is another big area that neither the three worms want to make friends with.

Lucian sighed in disappointment.Norris held Eden's hand under the table: "Are you okay?"

Eden pulled back his thoughts and shook his head slightly: "I'll ask Nomick to get some more snacks." He got up and opened the door to go downstairs.

The door closed softly behind him.Eden let out a slow breath.

After that day, almost a week later, Eden never saw Seth again.

The night before he was discharged from the hospital, Lucian suddenly had a private chat with Eden, perhaps because he had heard something from Kun En.

Q&A throughout the chat.After Lucian quickly confirmed that Dean was Seth and they had a quarrel and were still at a stalemate, he uncharacteristically didn't express any opinions.

Eden guessed that Lucian had told Norris too.Otherwise, Norris wouldn't have that look just now.

Eden appreciated their thoughtfulness.

In fact, he and Seth weren't in a cold war.But he didn't want to tell the news to every worm around him.

They would greet each other good morning and evening on the terminal every day, and sometimes they would have a short chat.

The time and frequency of chatting are naturally incomparable with the "love period" when they were inseparable, but in fact they chatted more than when Seth disappeared at the beginning of the semester.

They just kept silent about one thing in tacit agreement with each other.

This kind of lukewarm "connection" once made Eden anxious and irritable.

Now?Eden found himself getting used to it.

This is a preview.A kind of preview of how they get along after they return to "friends" after Seth goes to Novressen.

Eden is good at thinking and likes to think.This time, he was tired of the war in his head.He didn't want to second guess what Seth was thinking.Because Seth has already expressed his attitude.

It's good that Seth didn't break up with him, didn't speak ill of him, and even tried to maintain the friendship with him.What else does he want?

They are all growing.He had changed, and so had Seth.Like Seth didn't tell himself so much.He must have his reasons.

What he has to do is to learn to trust and respect each other.

Eden returned to the room with a tray full of fruit for snacks.

Norris was sorting out review materials for Eden on the external terminal.While playing a mindless game, Lucian whispered nonsense into Norris's ear—he'd already secured several college sports scholarships, and it was a shame to ask this female to do what a candidate should do. It's too strong for a worm.

The three worms all skipped Seth's absence today and brought the topic to Switch.

Switch was discharged two days earlier than Eden.A few days ago, Eden took a group of bodyguards and guards to visit the male worm he had implicated.

Switch had lost a lot of weight, but his face was still fleshy.There are a lot of review materials in front of him, and he is much more energetic than Eden imagined.

Switch was very concerned about the progress of the kidnapping case. When he learned of Gudabeji's past, the boy's eyes flashed with complicated light.

The two of them were silent for a long time without saying a word.

Eden apologized to him.Switch firmly refused.

"It's not your fault, Eden."

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank you. Thank you for coming forward at that time."

"If I'm really caught... With my psychological quality, I'm sure I'm done for this entrance exam."

The sun was shining on Switch.He bit his electronic pen in distress, without any haze between his brows and eyes.

"Eden, although I know you must be fine, let's work hard for the entrance exam!" Switch rolled his eyes.

Eden looked at Switch, and felt that something that had been pressing down in his heart dissipated.His near-standstill time began to flow.

***

Late at night on June 6, Eden woke up and couldn't fall asleep again.

He pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony on the first floor, and sat in the dark night, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.

Brian, who was on duty outside, found him.

The female made Eden a cup of rich black tea latte.The soft milk foam wraps the tip of the tongue, and the warm liquid flows into the throat, effectively soothing Eden's soul.

Brian is Looster's shadow.

Eden has been suspicious since Xia En entrusted the other party to take him into the palace to pick out guards.But it wasn't until his father came to Redhart that he got confirmation from Shane.

So whether it is Curt or Sean's excessive trust in Brian, there is a reasonable explanation.

Brian found Eden that afternoon and sincerely apologized for his concealment.Eden accepted.Then he forgot about it until he met Brian again tonight.

It's amazing... It seems that I really don't mind.

Under the moonlight, Eden was holding a mug and staring at Brian's side face, his heart was very peaceful.

He was happy to see Brian.This adult female was still so powerful and handsome, but when she was alone, the accelerated heartbeat and ambiguous charm disappeared.

He had never liked Brian.He appreciates each other and has a slight affection, but the intimacy and trust come from long-term relationship, and it has nothing to do with gender, but only family affection.

What he really cares about and puts in his heart is only Seth from the beginning to the end.

And this fact, long before he realized his intentions, had already happened and existed for a long, long time.

I'm so stupid.Eden sighed.

"Do you want to talk?" Brian looked over, his blue eyes were gentle and calm, "Because it is you, there is no charge for this psychological consultation."

Eden curled his lips.

He told Brian about his lingering doubts about Gudabeji.

Obviously Guda Beiji had hurt so many innocent worms, but when the photo of her being escorted to prison came, Eden actually felt sympathy for the female worm.

After ascertaining the identity of the female insect, the intelligence agency immediately took the photo of the female insect from the memorial room.

The villains in film and television dramas are always completely bad.They take pleasure in hindering and torturing the protagonist, so when they fall, the entire audience applauds.

But the real world is completely different from the ones in movies and TV dramas and books. It is not black and white, but always indistinct gray.

Gudabeji once gave his life to protect the weak.But after his beloved motherland abandoned him like garbage, this female insect became the kind of insect he hated the most.

In that room, as Eden accepted the pain of the dead males, he also felt the anger and resentment in Gudabeji's heart.

If the budget of the Intelligence Agency had been doubled, if Gudabeiji’s boss had resisted the pressure and carried out the rescue, if Gudabeiji’s crime had been detected and prevented by bugs at the early stage...

Then those corpses sealed in the walls and underground will not be produced?Can the mistakes, the pain and the despair disappear from the families who lost the cubs?Even Gudabeji can die forever as a "hero" and his "goodness" will be appreciated and remembered?

Eden didn't understand why he felt so defeated.

"That's the way the world really is. Full of regret, disappointment, sadness and powerlessness."

Brian stared at him: "Master Eden, you are very kind. Considering your spiritual talent, you may often feel this way in your later life."

"You don't have to be ashamed to feel vulnerable."

"It's not a bad thing."

"This is a gift from the universe. Because only in this way, you will be eager to change the world."

"Your ability can help many bugs. It can reduce unnecessary injuries and pain."

"You can be a lighthouse, pointing the way to what was once Gudabeji and other lost bugs."

The moonlight is pouring, the breeze is blowing, and the shadows of the trees are rustling.Eden closed his eyes.In front of his eyes, the fuzzy white mist that had been covering him for a long time, together with the confusion, frustration and confusion in his heart, receded and disappeared.

***

On the morning of the entrance exam, Xia En gave Eden a new pair of glasses.

Compared with the pair lost in the kidnapping case, Eden now has a thinner metal frame, and the thin lenses are larger and rounder, with a strong retro atmosphere.

It looks more like a decoration for young males taking selfies than a medical device to correct eyesight.

The nose pads of the glasses touch the bridge of the nose.A familiar sense of stability quickly enveloped him.

Eden looked up in disbelief.In the mirror, his and Xia En's smiling eyes met.

According to Xia En's explanation, for more than ten years, he will integrate his externalized spiritual power into each pair of Eden's glasses to help Xiao Chong Cub filter the too strong emotional input from the outside world and balance and stabilize Eden's emotions.

"Lloyd and I have been thinking for a long time before we can come up with such a way to have the best of both worlds..."

"Now, judging from your mental strength indicators, you don't need a male father anymore." Xia En patted the boy on the shoulder.

"But habits have to have time to change slowly. Before you are fully ready, let it stay with you for a while."

Eden's fair skin was flushed.

Shane didn't make it clear.But with Kunen around, he guessed that Xia En must have guessed something.His loss of control, his sour friendship with Seth, their entanglement in the ward...

Eden wears his new glasses to take the entrance exam.

[Eden, good morning. 】

【You are the best, believe in yourself. 】

Before leaving, Eden received a message from Seth.

A smile played on Eden's mouth.

The joint exam covers cultural lessons, mental power application and physical skills, and it takes three days from beginning to end.For three days, Eden played normally, even calmer than usual.

His father was right.

Although the test data only increased slightly, his mental strength did undergo a qualitative change after the accident.It was no longer erratic, it had become calmer and more stable, and it was easier for him to control and manipulate.

On June 6, the second day after the entrance exam, Eden went to Dawkins University to take the make-up exam.

This is specially set by the school for some excellent applicants who missed the unified interview due to special circumstances.At the end of the make-up test, the interviewer routinely asked if he would be willing to adjust to another major if his first choice failed.

If it was the first few months, Eden would have vetoed it outright.

Now... Eden wrote a few names on the tablet with the electronic pen.

Monday, July 7.Students in the graduating class return to school to go through relevant procedures.Muronia is busier than any other day.

Students filled the corridor classrooms, and the noise almost knocked the roof off.

"Senior."

Eden appeared outside Gibson's classroom door: "Do you have time now? There is something I want to talk to you about."

Ten minutes later, Eden pushed Gibson's wheelchair into the small garden next to the school cafeteria.

At the beginning of July, the vegetation is exuberant and the flowers are blooming.The garden is full of fragrance, and the gurgling fountain water brings a touch of coolness in the hot summer heat.

There are no other insects present here except them.

"What do you want to confirm, Eden?"

Gibson's voice is as elegant and soft as ever.

"It was you who disclosed my information to Gudabeji, right?"

"Goodbye?" Gibson blinked, looking confused.Then he shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about, Eden."

"I saw."

Eden grasped the armrest of the wheelchair, bent down, and looked directly at Gibson: "In Guda Beiji's memory, I saw you, senior."

"Why are you doing this?" Eden gritted his teeth and held his breath.

"I thought we were friends...why?"

The author has something to say: Lucian: Why do I have so few roles!Outcry!

Norris: The other main character, Seth, didn't say anything.Are you that lack of attention?

Lucian: Yes.How to drop.

Norris: (touching head) Be good, you will be the protagonist one day.Be patient.
