As a male insect, I am cooking food live

Chen looked at Shen Hui, who was silent, with a hint of worry on his expressionless face. He looked at Shen Hui's back as he left, and followed him out.

The two returned to the meeting room where they had discussed the battle plan, and Shen Hui and Chen Buguo sat down in their respective seats.

The once bustling conference room now only had two people. Shen Hui looked at the four empty chairs with a deep gaze. Chen Guoguo was no longer as playful as before. Since Fang Jianyi's death, Chen Guoguo seemed to have become a different person.

In other words, Chen Guo just became like Fang Jianyi.

"Captain." Chen said, "Don't take other people's words to heart."

Even at this time, Chen Buguo was able to quickly adjust his emotions to comfort Shen Hui. Chen Buguo had grown, but the price of growth was not what he wanted.

"It's just that Captain," Chen said after a long hesitation, "sometimes I have an idea."

Chen was just looking at the seat on his right - that was Fang Jianyi's seat. In the past, he would lean on Fang Jianyi and tease him casually at this time.

Fang Jianyi would frown, but would still indulge Chen Buguo's behavior, and then turn around to discuss the battle plan with Wen Yan.

Jiang Yuexin would stay close to Wen Yan and offer suggestions from time to time. Lin Jinwen would silently take notes and nod from time to time. Liu Yan would be confused and look at them with a silly smile.

That time was missed after all.

Shen Hui looked at the empty seats, and the voices and smiles of each of his teammates appeared in his mind. He knew that he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he see them sitting in their seats with deathly faces staring at him.

"What idea?" Shen Hui asked.

"If... we don't accept the mission." Chen Guoguo said, "With our abilities, we can still do a lot of things if we don't accept this mission..."

[Yes, Huizi.] Liu Yan pointed at Shen Hui with her remaining left hand, her face full of resentment, [If only we had returned the same way.]

Shen Hui looked at Liu Yan's broken body and had difficulty breathing.

Chen, however, did not notice Shen Hui's condition. He continued to talk: "If we had sent one more person to go with you, the captain, Lin Jinwen would not have..."

At Lin Jinwen's position was a charred corpse emitting a foul smell, and its empty eyes were looking at Shen Hui.

[Captain, if I had brought one more person with me, I wouldn't have died.]

Shen Hui seemed to smell a burnt smell in the air. He suppressed the urge to feel nauseous and felt a little suffocated.

"It would be great if Wen Yan was with Jiang Yue Xin. Normally they are inseparable. Why did she do that time..."

[Captain, I, I'm in so much pain.] Jiang Yuexin's mouth was filled with flying iron wire worms. The girl's legs had long disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood. Jiang Yuexin looked at Shen Hui with tears in her eyes.

[Captain, you killed Yue Xin.] Next to Jiang Yue Xin was Wen Yan, who had a bloody hole on her head. Wen Yan looked at Shen Hui with disdain, [You made me leave Yue Xin.]

Iron wire worms and blood flowers, Shen Hui's eyes went dark and his hands rested on the table.

"And Fang Jianyi," Chen Guo's eyes turned red, "If..."

[Captain, are all of them worthy of our rescue?] The shrunken corpse sat in Fang Jianyi's seat, looking at him with his dry face.

Shen Hui stared at Fang Jianyi's face and reached out to hold down his hand holding the gun.

Every time a team member died, Shen Hui would see them when he came to the meeting room - in the same appearance they looked when they died.

Shen Hui took it all in, looking at him with resentment or tears. On the surface, he remained calm, still cheerful and reliable as usual, and continued to carry out the mission with the surviving teammates.

Now, only Chen Buguo is left.

Shen Hui retracted his gaze and focused on Chen Buguo. He ignored the whispers of the undead in his ears and waited for Chen Buguo to finish the rest of his words.

"If... we hadn't saved that survivor," Chen Guoguo said viciously, "then Fang Jianyi wouldn't have died."

"Captain, if you could do it all over again," Chen Guo turned his head mechanically, staring at Shen Hui with his inorganic eyes, "Would you make the same choice again?"

Seeing Chen Buguo like this, Shen Hui felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"...That's enough." Shen Hui said.

"Captain?" Chen Guoguo frowned and looked at Shen Hui. He said mechanically, "It's better to start over again, isn't it?"

"Or, Captain, do you want them all to die? Die at the hands of those bugs? Even their bodies can't be found."

"I say, enough." Shen Hui raised his pistol swiftly and pointed it at Chen Buguo.

"..." Chen Guo's face turned cold, and at this moment his expression seemed to overlap with Fang Jianyi's.

He was not afraid of Shen Hui's gun, but stepped forward and pointed Shen Hui's pistol at his temple.

"Captain, are you going to kill me?" Chen Guoguo said coldly, "I am your only team member." Chen Guoguo put his forehead against the gun, "Come on, kill me."

Shen Hui's hands did not tremble. He looked at Chen Guoguo and said, "I said, stop snooping into my memory."

"...Spying?" Chen looked at Shen Hui, "Captain, are you finally losing your spirit?"

The death of each teammate did not cause Shen Hui to collapse mentally, but made him more sober. As the captain, he naturally could not show his weakness in front of his teammates.

"Captain, you need to take a good rest for a while. Don't go on any more recent missions... Fang Jianyi and I have made an appointment with a psychologist before."

It was wrong from the beginning. Shen Hui had sensed something was wrong a long time ago, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Shen Hui did not escape from the constant shock of team members' deaths. For Shen Hui, escape has never solved any problems. These could not destroy Shen Hui's consciousness, but instead reminded him of his memories.

But at this moment, he finally understood why he lost a part of his memory, why he could not reach the anthill, why his teammates died...

Someone was snooping into his memories and using them as a blueprint to trap him in a nightmare. If he was trapped like this, he would no longer be Shen Hui.

The Chen in front of him was the one who was spying on his memories—just like Liu Yan before.

"Using my teammates," Shen Hui's usually gentle face was now full of indifference, "I won't let them go."

Shen Hui shot without hesitation, and Chen fell in a pool of blood.

[Chen Guoguo] smiled foolishly: "Now, your only team member is also dead, Shen Hui. He was killed by you."

Shen Hui did not have much emotion when he saw Chen Buguo's death. Chen Buguo was the only survivor in the team.

Shen Hui walked out of the meeting room. The sky outside was clear. Shen Hui heard someone asking himself.

【Don't you want to start over? To achieve a perfect ending. 】

The scene in front of me changed quickly.

"Captain, captain, come quickly! This guy Chen is cheating again!" Jiang Yuexin pouted and stomped her feet.

"But cheating doesn't work if you don't use any strength." Liu Yan said with a smile.

"Chen Buguo." Fang Jianyi called the other person's name directly.

"Haha, if we don't let him cheat, wouldn't that be like asking for his life?" Lin Jinwen said with a smile.

"Yeah." Wen Yan nodded.

All his team members are still alive.

"Captain, come quickly. Don't be in a daze." Jiang Yuexin called again.

Shen Hui was about a foot away from them, but he didn't move. He just looked at his teammates.

"Captain, you are not still recalling your actions, are you?" Chen Buguo smiled, "It is indeed amazing. If you hadn't subdued the fleas in time, Fang Jianyi would have gone from a handsome man to a dry skin."

Fang Jianyi slapped Chen Guoguo on the head, causing Chen Guoguo to cry out in pain.

"Yeah, luckily the captain had the foresight to let Ah Yan accompany me." Jiang Yuexin patted her chest with some fear, "Otherwise I would have been parasitized by the iron wire worm. I'm so afraid of pain."

Wen Yan nodded and touched Jiang Yuexin's head.

"Huizi, no, Captain, if you hadn't predicted the trap in the northwest of the ant nest, I probably wouldn't be here." Liu Yan touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly, "My parents have always wanted to thank you. Next time, come to my house and have a visit? Xinyue has given birth to a little girl."

"Thanks to the captain for setting up the firing line in advance." Lin Jinwen said as he grilled skewers, "otherwise, I would be the one being grilled now."

"Lin Jinwen, could you please stop telling such hellish jokes?" Chen Guo was disgusted.

[This is the best ending you can have. Aren't you tempted?] The voice was bewitching.

[Your teammates are not dead, they are still by your side. This is the best ending, no one will suffer because of this, and you don’t have to blame yourself. ]

[Haven't you always wanted to go back in time and change their deaths? Now they're all alive, isn't that great?]

【Go, go to them, and everything will come true. 】

Shen Hui looked at the team members quietly, then smiled and said, "I won't go over."

The five of them stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him in confusion: "Captain, why don't you come over?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to be with us?"

"Very good." Shen Hui nodded gently. It was so beautiful that even though he knew it was an illusion, Shen Hui couldn't control his emotions. This kind of scene was what he had been pursuing countless times when he woke up from a nightmare.

If it were his previous self, Shen Hui would have already sunk into it. Perhaps in the first stage, when he and Liu Yan went to the ant nest, Shen Hui would have returned on the spot.

To avoid the tragedy of Liu Yan's death.

"Then captain, why did you reject us?" the five people said.

Chen Guoguo stepped forward and extended his hand to Shen Hui. "Captain, come with us."

Shen Hui looked at Chen Buguo with a much colder look in his eyes. "I told you that Chen Buguo would never talk to me like this."

[Chen Guoguo] took his hand back and shrugged: "Okay, but this is the best outcome. I can't understand why you refuse."

"The team members who fought alongside you are still alive, and all the burdens and responsibilities are gone. Isn't that good?"

"Aren't you tired? You've always been responsible and relied on by everyone. As long as you wake up, you will take on more responsibilities. Isn't it good to be confused for a while?"

Shen Hui shook his head: "I won't escape. Just like he said, I won't blame my past self."

“Oh?” [Chen Guoguo] raised his eyebrows. The four people behind him disappeared at some point. [Chen Guoguo] took a bite of the skewer and his expression brightened.

[Chen Guoguo] ate all the skewers.

"He told me not to be too harsh on myself even though I have already done my best," Shen Hui said.

"Well, it seems you won't change your mind." [Chen Guoguo] clapped his hands, and there was a sense of nobility in his gestures. "Then you have barely passed the test of the illusion."

"Senior, even if it's a test, it's not very polite to snoop into other people's memories at will." Shen Hui did not let down his guard.

"Didn't you shoot me twice?" Chen Buguo asked back, "It's even. Also, don't call me senior, there are still people."

"..." Shen Hui did not respond.

"I am your ancestor. This is the test that every generation of Night Pearl must go through when they are promoted."

"Then you should understand better after you peeked. I am not a Zerg."

"Humph." [Chen Guoguo] reached out and took another skewer. "If you weren't Night Pearl, you wouldn't have this test."

Shen Hui thought that the other party only recognized the body and not the soul.

"Hey, how come you are the only one left of the Night Pearl..." [Chen Guoguo] looked Shen Hui up and down, feeling very satisfied in his heart, but being unforgiving in his words.

The character is strong. This alone makes it far superior to the previous Night Pearls. [Chen Guoguo] is more and more satisfied with it the more he looks at it, but of course he can't let the younger generation see it. Otherwise, he might be so proud of it.

The opponent is very likely to be the next S-level Night Pearl Flash Butterfly. Of course, not now, the S-level Night Pearl Flash Butterfly still needs to go through some [small] tests.

Don't mention it, there are many delicacies in the memory of this younger generation that I have never eaten. Ahem, I have gone off topic.

"Little bug, do you know who I am?"

"A peek into memory."

"Okay, okay. I apologize." [Chen Guoguo] was really defeated by Shen Hui. "It's obvious that neither your male father nor your female father has the character of holding grudges. How could they have given birth to you?"

"Memory is a very private thing," said Shen Hui.

"What a unique statement. Unfortunately, we, Night Pearl, can look through the memories of all female insects." [Chen Guoguo] said casually, "Okay, let's end the small talk."

In the other party's view, there is nothing wrong in looking through the memories of other insects. The two insects have different opinions, and Shen Hui did not force it.

"I'm Ken." Chen Guoguo's appearance changed, and a black-haired male insect appeared in front of Shen Hui. It is worth noting that the other party's eyes were golden yellow.

Ken. A male Night-Shining Pearl Butterfly that subdued the Azazel clan.

"Let me see... Al? Oh, it's another one. Never mind, I'll just call you Shen Hui." Ken said lazily, "Congratulations on passing the trial."

"The illusion will generate what you fear the most. If you can break through it instead of getting addicted, you will be promoted to A-level. Otherwise, you will be promoted to B-level."

Every generation of Night Pearl Flash Butterfly is A-level.

"I'm just a remnant soul, a dead soul. I'm mainly responsible for organizing trials for you youngsters." Ken seemed to remember something, "You're good, there's a chance you can be S-rank."

"But you don't seem to be particularly interested in this place?" Ken frowned. "Forget it, I don't know how to put it. Well, as expected, you are just like your father."

"You will have another chance to see me later. Now, you can go back."

Ken waved his hand, not giving Shen Hui a chance to speak. Shen Hui's eyes went dark.

-

Shen Hui opened his eyes, but before he could wake up, he heard Al's anxious voice.

[Shen Hui, you finally woke up. Your chat partner has noticed something is wrong! ]

Shen Hui woke up immediately.

"Al, 11, tell me what's going on."
