Pheromone Recognition Disorder

Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Are you married?

Asparagus.

No one knows what the mysterious underground city lord said in the secret communication with His Majesty the Emperor that night, and what kind of deals and agreements the two parties reached. In short, the final result of this matter was that riots broke out in Shiwen District very quickly.It ceased, but that was the end of the military takeover of the First Legion.

His Majesty the Emperor even issued a special order to directly classify Tiandong Star as an autonomous region.

As a result, control of Tiandongxing returned to Ye Shu's hands.

Even though Zhou Jiuya was anxious to find traces of Jiang Ci, he still completely disagreed with the result.

"-I need an explanation!"

In the communication, His Majesty the Emperor did not show his face, only a clear and smooth voice came from the communication device,

"The Forbidden Abyss is no longer on Tiandong Planet, and we have already obtained the other things we should get. It is unnecessary to spend a lot of military and financial resources to occupy and take over a planet."

Zhou Jiuya knew what he meant by "other things that should be taken". For more than two hundred years, Ye Shu has been guarding the Forbidden Abyss with the protection of the interstellar black market. Because of this, Tiandongxing Underground CityThe interior is a breeding ground for darkness and evil.

Among them, a large number of imperial nobles have secret transactions with Tiandong Star that cannot be seen, such as arms, drugs, human trafficking, etc., and what Pei Changyun wants to get is the evidence of these transactions.

His calm tone contained the indifference and murderous intent unique to an emperor,

"The empire has gradually entered a period of peace. It's time to cut off some branches and leaves that have been eaten away by moths."

Of course Zhou Jiuya knew this, but this reason was not enough to convince him.

"What's going on with the insect nest on Asparagus?"

This question made His Majesty the Emperor pause slightly and let out a chuckle of unknown meaning.

"Who knows, you should ask Huo Chao this question."

"Hiding so many insect eggs in the wreckage of the Forbidden Abyss, and then letting Ye Shu secretly take them to Tiandong Star to hatch, and even hiding it from everyone for three hundred years..."

Three hundred years.

Everyone thought that Ye Shu, that stubborn brat, was simply stuck in the past and couldn't get out, and was just guarding the Forbidden Abyss. But in fact, what he was hiding was an insect nest.

——It is a future Zerg army.

Not knowing what he thought of, Pei Changyun actually laughed,

"As expected of him, he even lied to me..."

Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor repeated to himself,

"You even lied to me..."

Zhou Jiuya was silent for a moment, understanding the reason for Pei Changyun's compromise.

——Because that was Huo Chao’s order.

For a few of them, this explanation was all they needed.

"But the Zerg..."

is the enemy.

It's an enemy they can barely defeat.

But Huo Chao would not do anything that would threaten all mankind, so he must have left behind some way to perfectly avoid a second war with the Zerg.

Just when Zhou Jiuya was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Pei Changyun say,

"——Remember that child on Earth who was suspected of being able to control the Zerg?"

The silver-haired alpha's pupils suddenly widened,

"You mean...?"

"Yes, a new king insect has been born."

Pei Changyun tapped the table repeatedly.

"——That's the key Huo Chao left for us."

In fact, Zhou Jiuya had had this kind of speculation ever since the child was discovered on Earth, but he was just not sure. What's more, he had been looking for it for almost two months and there was no news.

"I'll find him as soon as possible."

The crisp tapping sound stopped suddenly, and Pei Changyun said coldly,

"What are you looking for? Haven't you already found it?"

"..."

Noticing Zhou Jiuya's momentary shock, His Majesty the Emperor gave a cold sneer,

"Otherwise, do you think that anyone else can control the Forbidden Abyss with an A-level core? The Zerg have been hiding on the Tiandong Star for three hundred years, how could they suddenly appear?"

However, Pei Changyun's most certain reason is still——

"Huo Xianfeng..."

His Majesty the Emperor chewed on the name.

"The three words Huo Xianfeng are already... the most obvious statement."

Pei Changyun closed his eyes deeply, and his whole body seemed to be pulled back to a time long, long ago.

…

On the high white tower, there were two teenagers looking up at the end of the distant sky together. It was still early in the morning, and the sky was dark except for a few stars.

[Huo Chao, let’s build a country we like together in the future.]

[Hmm... It sounds a bit troublesome, but it's okay.]

The young Pei Changyun looked surprised at this answer. He turned around and asked,

[Feeling troublesome?Then why did you have to join the army and drag me along?]

[Because I am short of a consul.]

Huo Chao lazily said,

[After much thought, you are the perfect candidate.]

The young Pei Changyun was slightly startled. He turned around and suddenly asked softly,

[Huo Chao, what is your dream?]

[Dream...]

The black-haired boy repeated in a daze, as if he was thinking about something seriously.At this time, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Pei Changyun down.

Eh?

He instantly fell from a tower hundreds of meters high. A strong feeling of weightlessness hit him, and Pei Changyun's eyes suddenly widened.

At that moment, the wind howled across the sky and the earth, and the shadow of death climbed up. He reluctantly opened his eyes in the crazy airflow, and saw Huo Chao also jumping down from the tower,

[Feel the wind, Pei Changyun——!]

The man's snow-white robe suddenly bulged in the strong wind, like a snow kite whistling down!

Wow——

At that moment, dawn breaks——

The red-gold sunlight fell on the young man's face. It was the first time Pei Changyun saw such an open and bright smile. It really seemed like his name.

——Like a warm and warm rising sun.

At that moment, Huo Chao suddenly opened his arms, as if he was embracing the whole world, and he was also embracing him.

[My dream is to become the wind.]

[Not controlled by anyone, free——]

Huo Chao didn't have time to finish the last word, because Pei Changyun couldn't bear it——

[Stop talking nonsense and find a way to land quickly!!!]

Otherwise, they might be thrown to death.

[Oh oh oh!]

So Huo Chao immediately summoned the Forbidden Abyss in a hurry, avoiding the news headlines the next day of "Two teenagers jumped off the building together, suspected of having died in love."

After landing, Pei Changyun's legs were a little weak and a little angry, so he punched the opponent to the ground.

[Hello, second grader, Huo Chao!]

[——You are not yet!]

Huo Chao grabbed Pei Changyun's ankle, threw him down, and choked back,

[What kind of country should we build? Pei Changyun, why don’t you just become the emperor!]

The two of them rolled into a ball on the grass. Finally, they ran out of energy and just lay together, lazily watching the sun rise slowly from the east.

"..."

No one spoke at that time, until after a long silence, Pei Changyun suddenly heard Huo Chao whisper to him,

[Don't worry, our dreams will all come true.]

At that moment, no one thought that these casual words would actually come true.

Fate played a huge joke on them.

Many, many years later, Pei Changyun strategized and dealt with the major forces, and finally succeeded in overthrowing the alliance and assuming the throne of emperor.

And Huo Chao jumped from the forbidden abyss in that doomsday disaster, fell into the tsunami-like tide of insects, and was swallowed up by the explosion that destroyed the world.

- Obliterated by the Changfeng.

[after,]

[No one can... control our lives anymore.]

"..."

In fact, this memory flashed back in His Majesty's mind for only a few seconds.

But he seemed to feel that he had fallen into the deep sea and was about to drown. He finally used all his strength to break free and return to reality.

When Pei Changyun saw the name "Huo Xianfeng" for the first time in Zhou Jiuya's report, he knew it.

——That boy is Huo Chao’s secret.

But at this moment, Zhou Jiuya did not understand the so-called explicit meaning in the name, but even so, he had made similar speculations, but there were still many doubts.

"Huo Xianfeng doesn't match the age and physical characteristics of the one on Earth..."

"Zhou Jiuya, you remember,"

Pei Changyun sneered,

"Never look at Zerg by human physiological standards, especially..."

"——The King of the Zerg."

rustle

The wind in the wilderness blows, and the roses all over the mountains and plains are swaying. The branches and leaves and flowers rub each other to make a rustling sound. Thousands of beautiful petals are picked up by the wind and scattered into the distance.

On the cliff of a high mountain peak, Huo Xianfeng stretched out his hand and caught a piece. Jiang Ci immediately noticed that the color was wrong, and he frowned.

"So red."

Or to be more precise,

——The color is frighteningly red.

As if watered by blood, the edges of the petals were even rich and bright, almost black-purple.

Generally speaking, the color of rose flowers is between red and pink, sometimes even pinkish white. Their flowers look like roses, but the flowers are larger, almost as big as a volleyball, with more petals and layers.Layers upon layers, delicate and gorgeous.

But compared to the flowers, their overall flower branches are also very huge, which is just right for the Zerg. In the eyes of humans, they should be classified as large trees.

However, according to human standards for flower planting, the ornamental value of rose flowers is very good.

However, few people know that the fragrance of rose flowers is also very special, somewhat similar to the combination of milk and rose.

But that’s not the case with the rose flowers here.

It was blooming so grandly and beautifully, but it carried an extremely obvious smell of decay. Huo Xianfeng felt like it was a huge cemetery of rose flowers, which made him feel an indescribable nausea.

Jiang Ci looked back at the sea of flowers below with a solemn expression.

"Someone is planting a lot of roses here."

After all, the neatly arranged flower branches are full of artificial traces.

But why do we need to plant a large number of roses?

This plant has only ornamental value to humans and has no meaning other than attracting bugs.Jiang Ci, who grew up in the empire, couldn't understand why anyone would want to attract those terrible monsters?

Jiang Ci said with some vigilance,

"There are so many rose flowers here, maybe there are Zerg species."

"……Um."

Huo Xianfeng threw away the petals in his hand and closed his eyes deeply.

——Indeed there is.

In the darkness, he saw many dim spots of light.

In the Zerg neural network, the brightness represents the vitality of the Zerg, while the size of the halo represents the strength of the Zerg.

When they were on Earth, those were the Zerg species that had survived the nuclear explosion, and most of their light was not very bright, just like the light bulbs in an old house, struggling to exert the last part of their light and heat.

Asparagus is different. The larvae are well protected. They are full of strong vitality, immature and simple, like the newborn sunrise, warm and enthusiastic.

As for here...

Those light spots were probably like candles in the wind, hovering on the verge of death, but they had already tried their best just to be discovered by the king.

——Can’t even give the simplest response.

Huo Xianfeng suddenly wrapped his arms around Jiang Ci's neck from behind, lowered his head and buried it in the omega's neck, and took a deep breath.

"you……!"

Jiang Ci froze immediately, but before struggling, the young man's hoarse voice suddenly came to his ears,

"Don't move, let me hold you."

"..."

Jiang Ci was stunned. He turned his head slightly. Although he couldn't see the expression on Huo Xianfeng's face, he still noticed the abnormal mood of the other party.

"...Huo Xianfeng?"

The boy didn't answer, he just lay quietly on the side of the omega's soft and warm neck for a while, and then stood up.

"Let's go."

He looked far away, his eyes fixed on the white house hidden in the sea of flowers.

"Since it was artificially grown, someone must be right."

Jiang Ci looked at Huo Xianfeng's side face. At this moment, the young man's expression was different from his usual laziness. He looked particularly cold at this moment.

He felt as if there was a ball of sadness that could not be resolved in those deep black eyes, and it seemed as if there was nothing at all.

The silver-haired major general was stunned for a moment, didn't ask anything, just lowered his eyes and replied,

"……good."

At this time, Huo Xianfeng suddenly turned around, reached out and hooked a strand of Jiang Ci's hair, and wrapped it around his fingertips.

"Your hair color is too conspicuous, you need to change it."

This action was very intimate, but the boy did it so naturally that Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment and could not immediately resist. However, by the time he reacted, Huo Xianfeng had already let go.

"……Um."

But it is true that his hair color and eye color are too conspicuous. Needless to say, Huo Xianfeng, Jiang Ci also needs to change, including of course the imperial military uniform he is currently wearing.The reason why he didn't change it on Asparagus was because he needed to rely on his appearance to enter the auction.

"I just don't know what they wear here."

After all, it is the territory of the church, and if the dressing styles are too different, it is easy to make mistakes.

Huo Xianfeng didn't think this was a problem. He glanced at Jiang Ci's thigh.

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."

Half an hour later——

They arrived at the white house surrounded by a sea of flowers.

From a distance, it looks like a white house, but when you take a closer look, you realize that it is a small white city.The decoration and construction style are very classical, and people dream back to the Cold War Age, which was earlier than the Earth Alliance period.

There are also some scattered self-built houses outside the city, but they are all white.There are not many pedestrians on the road, but there are also quite a few.

There are not many people on the road, but not many, and the clothing style is also very classical, a bit like Western medieval dress.There are guards guarding the city gate, and security checks are required, but it doesn't seem to be very strict. They just want to collect some oil and water from passers-by.

Huo Xianfeng glanced around, and finally focused on a small, slightly remote house outside the city.He turned around, grabbed Jiang Ci's wrist, lowered his voice, and his solemn and serious expression seemed to be explaining some top-secret mission.

"Let's go steal clothes!"

Jiang Ci: "..."

Although he knew their general purpose and action plan, when these words came out of Huo Xianfeng's mouth, why did they suddenly become so difficult to describe.

It was the first time for the Major General to do such a sneaky thing in his life, but his movements were still very fast and vigorous, and he followed Huo Xianfeng and climbed over the wall in one go.

The latter took out a piece of wire from nowhere, pried it casually, opened the door, and quickly found men's clothes that barely fit in the closet.

Seeing that Huo Xianfeng started to untie his belt without any hesitation, Jiang Ci stiffened for a second and then immediately turned his head.

"...You change first, I'll go out and guard."

"Oh it's okay, I don't mind."

Jiang Ci: "...I would like to introduce it."

"Huh? Didn't you take the initiative to watch it last night?"

When he said this, Jiang Ci could clearly hear the rustling sound of changing clothes. He closed his eyes, tried hard to get rid of the strange images in his mind, gritted his teeth,

"...Shut up and change quickly!"

"I'm ready."

But in just a few words, Huo Xianfeng was able to change. The clothes of people here are relatively loose, so even if the body shape is not suitable, it will not appear too tight. It is just that the pants are a bit short, but fortunately they are tied in.You can't even see it from the inside of the boots.

Jiang Ci kicked the person out very coldly, and then quickly changed.

"...Tsk."

Regret flashed across Huo Xianfeng's eyes. He originally wanted to see what Jiang Ci's shirt clip looked like.

The two of them squatted at the city gate for an hour, and then walked out after confirming that the security check was indeed just a simple entrance fee.

boom!

"Ouch, sorry, sorry,"

Jiang Ci watched Huo Xianfeng "accidentally" bump into two people, and then threw the wallet to him.

"Take it, the entry fee."

Jiang Ci, who was forced to become an accomplice: "..."

I don’t know where this guy learned so many sneaky tricks.

He lowered his head and looked at the banknotes in his bag. They all looked like he had never seen them before, but the pattern on them had a white tower printed on them.

Jiangci's grades in all subjects during the Military Academy period were full marks, so he could easily recognize that it was a church building from the Earth Alliance period.

——The Holy White Tower.

He narrowed his eyes slightly,

It seems that this is indeed the territory of the church.

However, even though the two of them were fully prepared, they were still stopped by the guards.

"Unfamiliar face?"

There is nothing we can do about this.

Jiang Ci has already dyed his hair and eyes into the most common brown, changed his skin color, and used beta pheromone concealer. As for Huo Xianfeng, he also dyed his hair brown and addedThere are many spots on the face.

But even so, the appearance of the two people was still really outstanding compared to ordinary people, which made the guards look at it twice and stepped forward to ask,

"Stop, where are you coming from?"

They just came to this planet and don't even know where it is. How could they know the names of other places?

But Huo Xianfeng didn't panic at all. He blocked Jiang Ci without leaving any trace, then thrust a handful of banknotes into the guard's hands and complimented,

"Where else could it be? Brother, you have such a sharp eye, haven't you seen it already?"

"Hmph, you're a smart kid,"

The guard took the money, narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed a helpful look on his face.

"Looking at how tall you are, you are from the north, Mingcheng?"

Huo Xianfeng did not follow the other party's words rashly, he just smiled.

"Brother, look, we have been walking all the way, and we just want to go to the city to rest."

"You came all the way from Mingcheng to find Ling Tieshi?"

The guard snorted coldly,

"I advise you to accept it. Ling Tieshi here has long been hollowed out."

Ling Tieshi?

Jiang Ci immediately caught the key word. It was an extremely rare ore, and the smelted Lingtie was the best for making mecha shells.

The most important thing is that the outer shell of Forbidden Abyss is made of this kind of Lingtie.

It seems that the Church has obtained the remains of the Forbidden Abyss and is preparing to restore it.

Jiang Ci held Huo Xianfeng's hand and gently traced writing on the young man's palm with his fingertips.

[Church, Ling Tie, the ruins of Forbidden Abyss, repaired.]

Jiang Ci spoke cryptically, but Huo Xianfeng immediately understood what he meant.But the young man didn't show any clues on the surface. He looked at the guard and responded openly.

"Brother, we still want to try our luck."

"Okay, okay, you're really stubborn."

The guard waved his hand impatiently.

"go in."

"Okay, okay."

Jiang Ci lowered his head and was led by Huo Xianfeng as he passed the guard.At this moment, the guard suddenly stopped them,

"etc!"

At this time, his eyes glanced at Jiang Ci, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly frowned, and strode closer to Jiang Ci.

"You beta...?"

Jiang Ci immediately became nervous, thinking that the beta pheromone masking agent had failed. After all, he had failed once before because Huo Xianfeng's temporary mark injected too much pheromone.

Huo Xianfeng couldn't sense pheromones, so he had the same guess as Jiang Ci at the same time. Now he was alone and helpless. Once Jiang Ci's omega identity was exposed, it would cause a lot of trouble.

He immediately stood in front of Jiang Ci, and at this moment he had the idea of silencing him.

But at this moment, the guard's eyes suddenly passed over Jiang Ci and fell on Huo Xianfeng.

At this moment, his eyes were very revealing,

"——The alpha pheromone on your body is too heavy, right?"

Huo Xianfeng: "...?"

Jiang Ci: "...!"

This sentence succeeded in making Huo Xianfeng's murderous intention disappear instantly.

But Jiang Ci understood what the other party meant. Beta cannot be marked by alpha. Even if he does the most intimate things, he will only leave some faint pheromones.

There are only two situations where alpha-rich pheromones will remain on Beta's body.

Either being marked repeatedly by alpha and engaging in prolonged intercourse, or she is pregnant.

But now Jiang Ci no longer has the pheromone characteristic of pregnancy, so the only situation left is the former.

The guard tutted several times.

"Young man, even if you are married, you don't know how to exercise restraint."

"..."

Jiang Ci turned his head away, his face was so dark that he could no longer look at it.

"cough……"

Huo Xianfeng coughed lightly,

"not yet."

The guard was surprised. He didn't know what he thought of, but his face showed some understanding.

"Eloped? No wonder you came here from Mingcheng, which is so far away."
