Pheromone Recognition Disorder

   Chapter 43 Jiang Ci’s Room

    Before meeting Huo Xianfeng today, Ye Shu thought a lot about Huo Chao and their past.

    He hadn't remembered that person for a long time.

    Since Huo Chao's death, everyone familiar with Ye Shu has been deliberately avoiding that name. Huo Chao has obviously been dead for so many years, but now that he suddenly mentions it, although the picture of the past is yellowed, it is still clearly visible.

    The beginning of this long story can be traced back to the sudden rise of the Illusion God Religion more than three hundred years ago.

    After this mysterious church began to intentionally seize the right to speak in the Union Parliament, many local governments felt a profound crisis.They feel that this is divine power devouring human rights, which is destined to bring disaster.

    At the same time, many people took advantage of the troubled waters, and military coups and riots began to occur everywhere.

    Huo Chao entered the alliance army at that time.

    However, at that time, Ye Shu was just an ordinary thorny boy, fifteen years old.Because the alliance had too much to take care of itself, it was common for local nobles to collude with the garrison.

    Those worms imposed taxes and oppressed the people, not like protective guards, but like enslaving colonists.Later, unable to bear it anymore, Ye Shu's parents united many people to protest and wrote an anonymous letter of complaint.

    Of course, the letter was not sent out. The garrison opened fire on the unarmed people, and all those who protested were killed.Ye Shu hid under the bodies of his parents and breathed a sigh of relief.

    Later, he was seriously injured and fled everywhere with hatred. Just before he decided to join the rebel army organized in a certain place, Ye Lu accidentally heard that an officer named Huo Chao hanged more than a dozen soldiers in public.The criminals who colluded with businessmen.

    So Ye Shu found the other party with the last glimmer of hope and handed him the blood-stained letter.

    The latter looked at him silently and seriously for a long time, then gently touched his head and said,

    "……okay, I get it."

    Obviously at that time, Huo Chao looked not much older than him, but when the other party said those words, Ye Shu believed them without hesitation.

    Later, Huo Chao did quickly eliminate the group of evil moths and arranged a new adoptive family for Ye Shu.But the latter stayed with Huo Chao shamelessly.

    It’s just that Ye Shu hadn’t gone to military school at that time. He was thin and small and couldn’t do anything. He could only wipe the floor in the military camp every day.He also has to train with ordinary soldiers every day.

    "Huo Chao, do you really plan to keep that little guy?"

    At that time, Jiang Jinsheng thought this scene was very novel. When he came to see Huo Chao occasionally, he would praise Ye Shu for how bright the floor was.

    Pei Changyun didn't have any objections. After all, as the Executive Officer of the Political Department and the Director of the Military Intelligence Department, he didn't take seriously a child who could only wipe the floor.

    It was at that time that Ye Shu met Jiang Jinsheng and Pei Changyun. They were already very familiar with Huo Chao and had a very close relationship.

    He remembered that every time Pei Changyun came, he would hold a thick stack of documents and put them on Huo Chao's desk.

    "Here, this is a newly issued document from the alliance, as well as intelligence and combat information collected by the Military Intelligence Office. I have highlighted several parts in red. Please remember to read them today."

    Finished it today?!!

    Huo Chao: "...can I just look at the red ones?"

    Pei Changyun nodded: "Okay."

    Then Huo Chao opened it and took a look

    ——All red.

    Huo Chao: "..."

    When Jiang Jinsheng next to him saw this scene, he burst into laughter without any politeness.

    Therefore, basically every time Pei Changyun came, Ye Shu would see the lights in Huo Chao's office turn on all night.

    Ye Shu wiped the ground for three full years before he was transferred to the guard at the door of Huo Chao's office, and then transferred to the battlefield.In ten years, he followed Huo Chao to various battlefields. The latter was promoted from a local officer to a lieutenant general.

    At the same time, Ye Shu also accumulated some military exploits and climbed up step by step.

    At that time, Ye Shu was very envious of the friendship between the three of them, and later he worked hard to become one of them.It's just that he was born with a magnetic field that was not harmonious. He couldn't stand the way Pei Changyun was condescending every time, and the latter also looked down on him, a kid who made his living by cleaning floors.

    But with Huo Chao here, everyone gets along well on the surface.

    As for Zhou Jiuya, he was still a gloomy and taciturn military academy student at that time, and he would not join Huo Chao's command until several years later.

    There was a small-scale battle. Huo Chao's decision-making and strategy were perfect, so he did not go to the battle and just sat in the base camp as the commander.

    But at the critical moment, the opponent unexpectedly showed up with a very powerful recruit for some reason, causing them to suffer a big loss.

    Pei Changyun quickly found out the other party's identity. The recruit's name was Zhou Jiuya, Jiang Jin's half-brother.

    The two of them knew each other's existence. Jiang Jinsheng openly admitted his father's unreliability and the existence of this younger brother, but Zhou Jiuya always felt that he was a stain.

    Also, although Jiang Jinsheng is also an alpha, all his talents are focused on his head. He is unable to activate mechas in any kind of fight. He is completely opposite to Zhou Jiuya.Therefore, he was severely laughed at by Huo Chao before.

    So when he heard about this incident, he called Huo Chao without any politeness and laughed crazily.

    "Hahahahahaha, you are so exhausted, Huo Chao!!! Tsk tsk tsk, you are indeed a boy with half my blood. Maybe in a few years, he will be able to pin you to the ground and beat you!"

    Huo Chao: "...ha."

    very good.

    Then the next day, Huo Chao personally drove Jin Yuan to the expedition.

    Just when everyone was trembling with fear, they discovered that Jinyuan did not attack their base camp or their aircraft carriers. They even ignored the supreme commander and went straight to a new recruit.

    "????"

    Everyone was confused.

    Zhou Jiuya was even more confused. He had no idea that it was his brother who filled him with hatred, and he was confused and beaten by Huo Chao until he couldn't take care of himself.

    Because of Huo Chao's action, this battle was won without any suspense. Zhou Jiuya was thrown into a prisoner of war camp and left to dry out for three months. Finally, Huo Chao showed up with Ye Shu and successfully surrendered.

    Since then, Huo Chao's personal team of confidants has been established.

    Later, with more and more victories, the name Huo Chao became famous throughout the league.Eight years later, the rebellion in the local government has been suppressed on a large scale, and some reactionary forces who want to take advantage of the troubled waters do not dare to take the lead.

    In the same year, the Illusionary God Sect successfully controlled most of the voice in the Alliance Parliament, and even had a faint tendency to directly sideline the Parliament.Huo Chao was promoted again and directly promoted to commander of the alliance.

    The war finally subsided, and the Alliance ushered in a brief period of peace.

    History has proven that when every war ends, mankind will always usher in a wave of baby boom.Without fighting, a group of alphas who have nowhere to expend their energy will naturally want to find wives.

    So at that time, Pei Changyun arranged many large-scale blind dates for the soldiers.At the same time, leave regulations were also relaxed, allowing many soldiers and officers who had been away from home for many years to go home to visit relatives. Pensions for martyrs and comfort for their families were also perfected.

    He handled everything beautifully.

    Even later, Pei Changyun was not only able to manage military affairs, he even had a great say in the political management and planning of the entire alliance.

    This is Pei Changyun.

    In Ye Shu's eyes, this person is very dangerous, because he has a good insight into people's hearts, and will always seize the most perfect opportunity and use the most ingenious method to obtain the greatest benefit.

    So at that time, the person with the highest prestige in the army and whom everyone respected the most was Marshal Huo Chao, but the one he liked the most and was the most approachable was Pei Changyun, the top executive officer of the Political Department.

    At that time, because Pei Changyun organized several blind dates in the army, Jiang Jin even joked about it and called him "Pei Matchmaker" for a long time.

    However, Pei Changyun doesn't react as fiercely as Huo Chao. When he is laughed at, he immediately secretly retaliates and takes revenge. He has always liked to hide, dormant, and wait for the time to come.

    The time came quickly. Since Pei Changyun often dealt with nobles from major aristocratic families, many people found this "matchmaker" and wanted to ask him to help match them.

    Therefore, during that time, Pei Changyun had a lot of high-quality alphas on his left hand, including Huo Chao, and a group of beautiful omegas pampered by nobles from major aristocratic families on his right hand.

    Well, isn't this a coincidence?

    There is no doubt that Jiang Jinsheng was the first to suffer.

    He went on blind dates for a whole month, day and night, even if he did experiments for a month, his eyes were not that busy.And because he was contaminated with too many different omega scents, he was already considered a scumbag.

    Jiang Jinsheng was holding Pei Changyun's waist, speaking weakly, and finally gave in.

    "Brother Pei...show your noble hand."

    Pei Changyun finally figured it out after holding in his heart.

    So later on, neither Ye Shu nor Zhou Jiuya escaped.But the one in the front was too straight and failed, while the one in the back, Zhou Jiuya, scared people away because of his fierce appearance and expression.

    So, both of them failed.

    As for Huo Chao, he is actually the one that most omegas truly admire and want to get in touch with.

    After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the alliance at a young age, holds great power, has a face as handsome as a male model, and has a clean private life that is almost a blank slate.

    Not only from pure mate selection criteria, but also from family interests, Huo Chao is the best choice.

    So Pei Changyun placed a pile of Omega information on Huo Chao's desk and said as if unintentionally,

    "Does the Marshal also want to go on a blind date? But there are many omegas who want to get to know you."

    "Blind date?!!"

    Huo Chao looked horrified, every cell in his body was saying rejection.

    "No! No way!!! I won't go."

    Pei Changyun can tell many things from a person's tone and expression. For example, when Huo Chao said this, it was obvious that he was rejecting from the bottom of his heart.

    The Lord Archon lowered his eyes and tried hard to hide the raised corners of his lips.

    "Yes, I understand."

    Ye Shu was there at that time. In fact, although he hated Pei Changyun, as an alpha who had not seen an omega for hundreds of years, Ye Shu still had strong curiosity and affection for those beautiful, cute and delicate creatures.

    Moreover, it is alpha's nature to pursue omegas, so he didn't understand why Huo Chao was so resistant, so he asked directly,

    "Why, Marshal?"

    "...because I don't like it!"

    At that time, Huo Chao was silent for a few seconds. He subconsciously glanced at Pei Changyun next to him and gave a very blunt answer.

    "——I don't like such fragile and delicate creatures."

    Huo Chao's expression was so resistant at that time that Ye Shu was still deeply impressed.

    But the most important reason was that Pei Changyun had tricked Ye Shu and asked him to ask Huo Chao if he liked beta and alpha.

    Pei Changyun was always very eloquent and had a brilliant tongue. Without even saying a few words, Ye Shu was deceived into thinking that he would die for the sake of the Marshal's lifelong happiness.

    "So, Marshal, do you like beta?"

    "...?"

    Huo Chao frowned and glanced at him with a stern look.

    "hiss……"

    Ye Shu immediately took a breath of air,

    "It can't be A..."

    Wow——!

    Before he finished speaking, Huo Chao directly picked up Ye Shu's back collar and threw him out of the window.

    ——That's the fifty-eighth floor.

    Fortunately, they all carried the mecha with them, so Ye Shu didn't fall to his death. However, he was deducted half a year's salary for deploying the mecha in the administrative area without permission.

    "..."

    Ye Shu was different from the others. Among the five of them, he was the only one with a serious ordinary background. Therefore, the only source of wealth was his pitiful salary.

    This incident made Ye Shu deeply remember that Huo Chao didn't like omega, and was even very disgusted.Likewise, the Marshal doesn’t like beta or alpha either.

    Maybe Huo Chao has a cold personality or something.

    Of course, Ye Shu only dared to think about this in his mind.It was just that this incident impressed him so much that he was convinced that Huo Chao would never leave any descendants.

    But Huo Xianfeng didn't understand very much.

    Disliking an omega is very contrary to the nature of an alpha and is really unbelievable.You know, Huo Chao is almost a perfect image that has been mythical in the world's impression.

    Powerful, selfless, fearless, philanthropic, dedication, sacrifice.

    Almost all great words seem to be related to that person.According to the mainstream values ​​of today's star age, it is normal for such a great person to have affection and protective desire for a weak and beautiful omega.

    "I think something happened that made Huo Chao hate omegas."

    "..."

    Ye Shu was no longer surprised by Huo Xianfeng's acumen, because he was used to the other party's intelligence.

    "You guessed it right. At that time, an omega deliberately broke into Huo Chao's house when he was in estrus. It was an A-level omega, and it was the first time he was in estrus as an adult. The rich pheromones were enough to make any alphago Ape."

    Not to mention how a weak omega could break into the marshal's home, but at that time Huo Chao had no sense or ability to think about this problem.

    Huo Xianfeng frowned and almost immediately smelled a hint of conspiracy.

    "But in the end, the outcome of this incident was that Huo Chao locked himself in the cockpit of the Forbidden Abyss, and the omega who deliberately broke in was completely marked and knotted by a certain guard who came over."

    Ye Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to think of the past a long time ago.

    "A month later, the doctor said that the omega was pregnant with a child."

    But generally speaking, the higher the level of AO, the easier it is to get pregnant. Although the guard is only B level, the other one is an A level omega, so the latter is pregnant.

    "That was the first time we saw Huo Chao look so furious. He put down all military affairs and personally ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. However, no one expected that the Alliance Council would be blamed in the end."

    Speaking of this, Ye Shu paused, didn't know what he thought of, and sneered,

    "Later I found out that, to be precise, the reason behind this incident was related to the Illusionary God Cult."

    "But the condition of the pregnant omega was not good. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, but her whole body was visibly thinner. It was as if it was not a great process of giving birth to life, but the horror of being parasitized and sucked out of life by something.event."

    "Huo Chao personally killed the child and the omega. Everyone who knew about it was given a hush-hush order and signed the strictest confidentiality agreement. Then, he went to the church's headquarters, the Holy White Tower, alone."

    No one knew what happened inside that night, but when Huo Chao came back, he was covered in blood and his expression was extremely gloomy and terrifying.He immediately destroyed all his DNA samples and all medical examination reports and information that had been entered into the system.

    There is an unwritten rule in the army that all soldiers and officers will store a blood sample and detailed physical examination report when they join the army.So that when injured, military doctors can query the wounded's physical information as quickly as possible.

    "After doing this, he immediately led the entire legion and left the earth directly. He was stationed on the Hengyun planet, which was under construction thousands of light years away. He also announced that the Alliance Legion was officially renamed the Dawn Legion."

    At that time, mankind had just entered the era of the big universe, and Hengyun Planet was the first habitable planet they discovered besides the Earth.

    ——This is now the capital star of the empire.

    "This incident completely became the trigger for the breakup between Huo Chao and the Alliance. All the media that originally praised it immediately criticized it, saying that Huo Chao was ambitious and attempted to overthrow the Alliance's rule and implement tyranny. Things got worse and worse, and the two sides almost started fighting."

    What Ye Shu said, Huo Xianfeng had also found relevant fragments of information, and it was basically consistent. He thought that if things develop like this, it is very likely that today's emperor will not be Pei Changyun, but Huo Chao.

    "But fate is like this, it always takes a turn for the worse inadvertently."

    "——The Zerg appeared."

    Such a terrifying monster immediately became the biggest threat to the entire human race. Ye Shu smiled bitterly,

    "So the two sides temporarily suspended a truce, and Huo Chao had no choice but to step into the battlefield again. He also cooperated with Jiang Jinsheng to start building the Skynet defense system on Earth."

    "The war with the Zerg and the war within humanity are not at the same level at all. Except for the few battles that Huo Chao personally fought in the early stage, we almost never won. Because there were too many sacrifices and military supplies, Huo Chao ordered Pei Changyun to returnEarth, discuss with the Alliance to fight against the enemy together."

    "This cooperation was finally reached after a lot of hard work between the two parties. We finally breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, the church suddenly stabbed the Dawn Legion in the back."

    "That was the first time they demonstrated only theoretical space shuttle technology. So we were caught off guard and lost miserably. I was seriously injured and lost an arm. I was in a coma for two months at the medical center on the planet Heng Yun. The remainingI spent the next three months in a state of half-asleep and half-awake..."

    When he said this, Ye Shu subconsciously touched his left arm, half of his face disappeared into the shadows, and he whispered,

    "By the time I woke up, the Zerg had already invaded the earth."

    ——It was an unprecedented catastrophe.

    No matter how many times I recall it, it still makes my hair stand on end.

    "I rushed over with all my strength, but I only met Zhou Jiuya who was withdrawing his troops... As for the church, they had long ago escaped using space shuttle technology."

    Ye Shu's voice was trembling and choked,

    "They... all abandoned Huo Chao and left him... alone there... detonating millions of nuclear bombs..."

    "Pei Changyun...Pei Changyun...!!!"

    The disabled alpha cried almost every word when he mentioned this name.

    "His mecha storage box is full of...the remaining juice and petals of the rose flower."

    "The Zerg... He was the one who lured the Zerg there! It must be him! It must be him!!!"

    Huo Xianfeng watched him quietly and waited until Ye Shu's mood calmed down before asking softly,

    "Then have you asked Pei Changyun?"

    "Ask...how can you not ask..."

    Ye Shu smiled miserably,

    "He said that he did it on purpose because that was the only way to eliminate the Zerg at once. There are millions of nuclear bombs on the earth, and there is no device that can deliver them all at once. Moreover, if they are released into space, it will cause the space environmentgreat changes.”

    Therefore, lure the Zerg to the earth, and then use Skynet to intercept the aftermath of the explosion and the Zerg trying to escape.

    ——Once and for all.

    "He told me very frankly that this was not Huo Chao's order, but his own plan. The Hengyun planet has been initially developed and is enough to receive all the survivors on the earth. Compared with the extinction of the entire race, it is better to... moveA family…”

    Ye Shu proudly poured out the resentment he had endured for so long. His chest heaved violently, and his face was covered with dense beads of sweat.

    "How dare you say it, Pei Changyun... If his plan is so foolproof, why did he sacrifice Huo Chao to detonate the nuclear bomb?! Why didn't he go himself?!!!"

    If Zhou Jiuya hadn't stopped him that day, Ye Shu would have killed Pei Changyun even if he pulled him to die together.

    "..."

    Huo Xianfeng listened in silence until the other party finally calmed down, then he slowly spoke,

    "Ye Shu, do you want to cooperate with me?"

    The disabled alpha was startled, and suddenly raised his eyes. The young man's outstretched hand was reflected in his dark green eyes.

    "..."

    Wow——

    An hour later, Huo Xianfeng walked out of Ye Shu's room.Two guards stood on either side of the door.Although the decoration and facilities of the room where Ye Shu lived were very good, he was still under house arrest.

    Huo Xianfeng is here with Ye Shu. He has roughly gathered one-third of the outline of the puzzle. The remaining most delicate parts may need to be found by Pei Changyun or the Pope.

    When going back, Huo Xianfeng saw Jiang Ci waiting at the door.The starlight outside shone in through the huge window, casting a faint glow on the beautiful silver hair.

    However, Jiang Ci did not ask Huo Xianfeng what they talked about with Ye Shu, but told him,

    "That sister of yours...Tang Cha? We will send her to the orphanage on the capital planet along with all the children on the Asparagus planet, and arrange compulsory education and a family willing to adopt her like normal children."

    Is this a soft policy?

    In fact, Jiang Ci didn't need to say it. Huo Xianfeng originally planned to mention it and he had prepared the chips. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ci had already made arrangements.

    "Well, it seems your empire's child protection laws are not just empty words."

    Huo Xianfeng stretched out his hand, intending to open the door.

    drop

    "Fingerprint input error."

    "..."

    The young man was stunned for a moment. He went out for the first time in three days, so he discovered that fingerprints were required to open the door.A hand reached out from the right, pulled his wrist away, and pressed a fingerprint on the door open button.

    The next second, a pleasant electronic sound sounded——

    "Ding, welcome back, Major General Jiang Ci."

    "Enter additional fingerprints."

    "Ding, this permission requires iris verification."

    So, the silver-haired omega came closer, lowered his head slightly, and got closer.The long silver hair as clear as snow fell down, and a few strands of hair accidentally slipped through Huo Xianfeng's fingers.

    Buzz——

    My heart trembled slightly for a moment.

    The young man's fingertips stiffened unnoticeably for a moment, then he raised them and made a curve around them.

    "Dip, the verification is successful, please enter."

    A blue light soon lit up on the electronic screen.

    Jiang Ci stepped back. He was completely unaware of the minor events that had just happened. He just naturally gestured with his eyes to Huo Xianfeng to record his fingerprints.

    "alright."

    The cool and silky feeling was suddenly withdrawn from the touch. Huo Xianfeng's expression remained unchanged. He just rubbed his fingertips slightly, and then stretched out his hand to place it on the place where Jiang Ci pressed it just now.

    He turned sideways, his phoenix eyes lowered lazily, and his gaze swept over the omega's beautiful silver hair.

    "So you came to me now just to take my fingerprints?"

    Jiang Ci pursed her lips and said coldly,

    "...I'm just telling you about Tang Cha. By the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in and run away."

    Huo Xianfeng blinked and chuckled with unknown meaning. Since the aisle was not very spacious, his voice had a slightly magnetic texture due to the reverberation.

    "Oh, that's it..."

    When the input progress was 87%, the young man suddenly asked,

    "So, the Major General gave me his room?"

    "..."

    Jiang Ci's body stiffened. He was so stunned by Huo Xianfeng that he didn't have time to think too much.As for the past three days, he has been staying in the military hospital.

    "...I also have rooms on other warships. This one is just redundant and would be a waste if left empty."

    Huo Xianfeng said "Huh" and raised the corners of his lips.

    "Oh, it seems I guessed correctly, that is the Major General's room."

    "..."

    Jiang Ci choked.

    At this time, electronic sound suddenly sounded——

    "Hey, the entry is successful, please note your name."

    The young man stretched out his index finger and wrote on it one stroke at a time,

    "Huo Xian Feng."
