As a male insect, I am cooking food live

Little Taber paid no attention to the outsider.

His silence actually aroused more interest from outsiders.

"Brother Alva? Is he injured?" He asked, pointing at the bloodstains on the ground. He didn't seem to be frightened by the bloody scene in front of him.

He didn't even show any discomfort at the smell of blood.

"Your Highness Ekman, please stay away from him." The female insect named Alva stepped forward and stood between little Taber and Ekman.

"Brother Alva, I told you to just call me Ek." Ekman shook his head, "Repeat after me, Ek."

"...Eck."

Ekman nodded in satisfaction.

"This is the right thing to do."

Only then did Shen Hui shift his gaze from Taber and look at Ekman.

Ekman in his childhood was nothing like the arrogant and domineering person he is as an adult.

"Get out of here." Little Taber didn't take the two bugs seriously at all. "Otherwise, you'll die."

Alva protected Ekman behind him tightly, but Ekman seemed unaware of the explosive atmosphere in front of him.

He poked his head out from behind Alva, revealing round eyes, and said in confusion:

"But you seem to be in great pain? Don't you need help?"

Joshua came back to his senses from the great panic and immediately turned to look at Ekman when he heard his voice.

"Alva, quickly protect His Highness. Tubbo Capet has killed Lord Laverne!"

Taber remained silent, still with no intention of taking action or arguing.

"Annoying." Taber confided.

Ekman showed no panic when he heard the news that Laverne had been killed.

Shen Hui noticed this anomaly. He felt that Ekman was extremely strange at the moment, as he did not feel any sympathy for his own kind when facing the death of his own kind.

"Hmm..." Ekman lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Alva for help, "Brother Alva, is this how you use your mental power?"

As Ekman finished his words, yellow tentacles filled the entire space.

On the contrary, he felt as if he was detached from the world. It was as if everything before him was just a dream.

Shen Hui noticed that Alva had an incredible look on his face.

It seemed like this was the first time I saw Ekman using his mental power.

Taber looked at the tentacles with disgust.

"B-level, male insect, even if you are a cub, if you break into my sea of ​​consciousness, I will still kill you."

After hearing Taber's words, the yellow tentacles drooped down intelligently, looking aggrieved.

"But your sea of ​​consciousness is in bad shape. I just want to save you."

Alva looked puzzled.

"No need." Taber denied.

"Okay then." Ekman did not force it. He retracted his mental tentacles and walked towards little Taber.

He stepped on the cold blood, leaving a trail of footprints on the white ground.

About one meter away from Taber, Ekman squatted down with his arms folded, then tilted his head to look at Taber.

"Can you answer a question for me?"

"..."

"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as your agreement!" Ekman nodded.

"..." Little Taber stood up.

"Why did you kill Laverne?" Ekman asked.

Little Taber didn't respond, so Ekman asked again without getting tired of it.

It's chirping and so noisy.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Well, you're right," Ekman nodded in agreement, then said, "But I just want to know."

"He abused the female insects and forced the female insect cubs to be his female servants, so I killed him."

Little Taber watched Ekman's reaction. This was the first time he had seen a male larva, and it looked completely different from an adult male.

Perhaps, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He saw Ekman giving him a thumbs-up and little Taber remained silent.

"What do you mean?" said little Tub. "Are you mocking me?"

"Hey, you misunderstood." Ekman immediately shook his head, "This is to say that you did the right thing."

All the female insects present turned their eyes to Ekman.

At this moment, Ekman seemed like an outlier.

Ekman didn't care about the looks of other insects. He looked at Taber seriously.

"The scum deserves to die. He bullied so many kids. He is a bad person."

Shen Hui's eyes shone. He quickly recalled the scenes of his time with Ekman in his mind, but he didn't see it at all.

And Alva's reaction seemed to show that he was unfamiliar with Ekman in front of him.

Taber ignored Ekman's odd quirk.

"What if I lied to you? He's actually a good bug."

Ekman was stunned by the question.

"Go away quickly. I can't control my sea of ​​consciousness anymore." Little Taber ordered them to leave.

But what he didn't expect was that Ekman grabbed his hand, and his tentacles spread out in an instant, invading little Taber's sea of ​​consciousness.

Before falling into coma, Little Taber heard the other party say -

"Then I will have to wait until you recover and hand you over to the law for judgment."

After Taber fell unconscious, all the scenes were instantly swallowed up by darkness. Shen Hui stood alone in the darkness.

He looked thoughtful, and when he came back to his senses, he found the young boy Taber standing in front of him.

The young boy Taber looked at Shen Hui without his previous strong aggressiveness.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Hui contained emotions that Shen Hui could not understand.

He curled his lips and extended his hand to Shen Hui.

Shen Hui did not move.

The young boy Taber took the lead and took a step forward, and the two insects were almost face to face.

"You don't have anything to ask?"

It was too close, Taber's breath brushed gently across his face, and Shen Hui took a step back.

But Taber saw through Shen Hui's little movement at a glance, and he put his arms around Shen Hui's waist.

Now, they are closer.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No."

"Then why are you hiding? Aren't we a couple?"

Shen Hui was stunned, with a look of confusion on his face.

"You do not know?"

"...What should I know?"

Taber looked at Shen Hui as if he was looking at some strange creature.

"Only the partner that the Capeworm has chosen can enter his sea of ​​consciousness."

thump--

Shen Hui's heartbeat quickened as if hit by something.

"I am the Night Pearl. It is much easier for the Night Pearl to enter the sea of ​​consciousness of a female insect than that of an ordinary insect..."

"You want to eat it and deny it."

"?" What's going on? Shen Hui didn't quite understand why Taber's attitude suddenly changed.

"Lieutenant General Taber, I am here to heal your sea of ​​consciousness." Shen Hui gave up struggling, "I have no intention of prying into your memory."

"You always get tangled up in strange places," said the young Taber, "I showed you my memories to scare you away from me."

"You show a guilty expression. No wonder I was reluctant to let go." The young man Taber held Shen Hui's hand, and their fingers were interlocked.

"And you haven't seen the end yet."

"..."

The young Taber held Shen Hui's hand tightly and whispered:

"Or are you scared? You don't dare to look any further."

"No, I'm thinking about Ekman." Shen Hui said only this.

But the young Taber soon realized the unfinished meaning of Shen Hui's words.

"Perhaps, the other party is not [Ekman]," said the young Taber. "After all, he is completely different from the Ekman that all the bugs talk about. He himself is also like a flash in the pan."

"Lieutenant General Taber, can you let go first? The most important thing now is to heal your sea of ​​consciousness."

"No hurry." The young Taber said, "You won't die for now, just finish reading the last memory."

The young Taber showed a trace of pity towards Shen Hui.

"After reading this, you can decide whether to save me or not. After all, saving a paranoid lunatic will not do you any good."

The young boy Taber let go of his hand and pushed Shen Hui.

The young Taber stood against the light. Shen Hui could not see his expression. He only heard -

“I won’t let you go home.”

--------

All the sounds around him flooded into Shen Hui's mind in an instant.

"Tubber Capet, why did you assassinate Lord Laverne?"

"He tortured and killed the female insect cubs."

"Tubber Capet, that's a poor excuse. Lord Laverne's reputation for kindness is known across the galaxy."

"roll."

"Taber Capet, what are you resisting? Confess your crime, and the Capet family master will save you."

"...Tab Cape, have you thought about the consequences? If they kill Lord Laverne, what will they do with the female insects marked by Lord Laverne?"

"..."

"...They are still cubs and cannot do the mark-cleaning surgery at all."

"You feel happy for a while, but in the end, aren't you the ones who are hurting your own kind?"

[It is you who killed them.] It was the voice of Lieutenant General Taber.

The light came, and Shen Hui saw the scene clearly.

Little Taber was tied up with torture instruments and stood in the center, surrounded by a crowd of insects.

Little Taber was blindfolded.

His pointed ears twitched slightly, and little Tub realized that a bug was walking in front of him.

"Joshua, did you see Tubberg Capet kill Lord Laverne?"

"Yes."

Little Taber heard rapid breathing.

"Alva, you saw with your own eyes that Tub Cape had the desire to attack the male insect."

"Yes."

Someone pointed at the tip of his nose.

He heard the male insect who had once given him a thumbs-up said in a frightened tone:

"Blood...lots of blood, and Laverne was just lying there."

"Your Highness Ekman, can you repeat the scene at that time?"

"No, don't, Alva, you say it."

"Okay, Eck."

"Don't call me Eck."

"Okay, Your Highness Ekman, Judge, the situation at that time was..."

The more Shen Hui listened, the more his brows furrowed.

This was a one-sided trial and they had already convicted Lieutenant General Taber.

"Tubber Capet, the evidence is overwhelming, you may plead guilty."

"I killed Laverne because he deserved to die."

"Do you have evidence?"

"...Are the injuries on my body not evidence?"

Little Taber heard the commotion at the table, but he didn't take it seriously.

"There are no injuries on your body." A bug tore open Taber's clothes, and his skin was as smooth as before.

"And you, the one who killed Lord Laverne, has irrefutable evidence."

The restlessness at the table became more and more obvious.

"Sir, this is a trial, you can't go over there!"

Little Taber realized something and his pointed ears stood up.

The restraints on his eyes were removed and he saw Angus.

Angus, with red eyes, hugged Taber.

"Tabby, you were framed, right?"

Taber was about to nod.

"You are so young, how could you possibly kill Laverne? Laverne is well-known for being kind to his cubs, it is impossible for him to do such a thing. Did other insects frame you? Tell the female father..."

Tabby is so young, yet she is so well behaved in front of him.

How can the flowers in the greenhouse know the bloody storm outside? Taber met Blake's eyes at the table.

Both the father and the son understood what the other meant.

"Father Xiong, I killed him."

Angus let go of his hand in disbelief and took a step back.

Ekman grabbed Angus by the corner of his clothes.

"Sir Angus, are you afraid of Tubber?"

No, it's not. Angus' mind was in a mess.

"Tabby, what will the sentence be?"

"Sir Angus, killing a male insect is punishable by death."

"It was an accident." Angus said with red eyes, "Lavien died of illness due to his declining health."

"...Sir Angus, this is not quite right..."

"And I, Angus, am tired of Black Cape and Tubb Cape's perversity. I apply to dissolve my marriage with Black Cape and go to live on Dolan Planet."

"..."

Angus looked at Tub with a hint of fear in his eyes. He was too confused, but he didn't want his cub to die, and he didn't want to see Black again.

Tubby kills the bug, which is a huge shock to Angus, who needs to escape and be able to save Tubby.

"Lavien's death is a fact, right?"

"You are right, Sir Angus."

Lift it high and put it down gently. No one cared about Taber's wishes.

"Father Xiong, are you leaving?"

Angus paused, without looking back.

"No worm believes me," Tub said.

"Because you are too weak." Blake walked in front of Taber, "So, no bug will believe you."

The swarm of insects gradually dispersed, with only Taber left in the center.

Shen Hui walked forward without hesitation, and facing Taber with dead eyes, he left a kiss on little Taber's forehead.

"I believe you." Shen Hui said.

Little Taber focused his eyes and held Shen Hui with his backhand.

The young boy Taber smiled at Shen Hui.

"You came towards me on your own, Shen Hui."

"So, I won't let you go."
