mother of all races

Do not think too much……

Lin Xi said to herself.

He could feel that his emotions still seemed to be stuck in that nightmare, which even brought about physical changes, his heartbeat was fast, his body was extraordinarily heavy and trembling—the sadness and pain brought by the man in the dream. Despair, like something highly corrosive, deeply soaked all of Lin Xi's thoughts.

What happened to that man?

Does that man... really exist?

If he really exists, why does he appear in Lin Xi's dreams over and over again?

"call……"

Lin Xi rubbed his hair, he sighed, and subconsciously reached out to touch his bedside table.

He keeps a few calming gel sticks stashed in his nightstand, cute little treats he's used to soothe himself whenever he feels like he's getting emotionally unstable.

And the only thing he needs to be careful about is not letting Bryce find out about it——

However, Lin Xi missed it. He didn't find the calming gel stick he wanted at all. He only touched the empty drawer and the dents caused by the impact on the edge of the bedside table.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized that he was no longer on the Sun God.

Just one day ago, he met the alien species he had raised again, and the alien species named Xavier just carried him into the air and brought him back to the carefully arranged lair.

only……

Lin Xi raised her head and looked around her.

Suddenly it seemed that this was his living cabin on the Helios, and nothing had changed. He saw the familiar walls (even the rust marks on the metal veneer were the same as before), the familiar lighting facilities, Not even his workbench in the corner of the cabin has changed.It's just that, until now, all the facilities are just decorations, and they have already completely failed.

Because all these things were dismantled from the ruins of the Helios by Xavier bit by bit and moved directly to its cave on the cliff, and then reassembled.

Of course, Lin Xi had to admit that the familiar environment made him feel somewhat at ease - if it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have just fallen asleep like this.

It's just that when he wakes up from the nightmare, the familiar environment around him will always give him a sense of space-time confusion.

He needs to think for a while before he remembers his current situation...

Whether it is a nightmare or reality, there is a sense of absurdity that makes Lin Xi at a loss.

That is, after Lin Xi was brought to this large natural cave on the cliff by Xavier, he knew why his living cabin on the ruins of the Helios became so empty.

During the period when Xavier thought he was abandoned, it did a lot of extra little work besides watching soap operas on Earth day and night.

For example, it gritted its teeth and took care of the plants from Sulu in the greenhouse for Lin Xi, who he "hated". Points to bring all back to the cave, and Xavier brought back not only Lin Xi's things, but also collected many relics left by other crew members on the Helios...

Lin Xi's mood suddenly became extremely depressed when he thought that the sundries that Xavier meticulously scavenged and piled up in the cave actually belonged to other crew members on the Helios.

When she was struggling to wake up in that dark cave, and then found that she had lost all her memories, Lin Xi was eager to know what she had forgotten for a moment...

But now, he vaguely hopes that he doesn't know those things.

Xavier is different from the little white monster he met when he just woke up. He learned the human language on this planet, which means that it can communicate and communicate freely with Lin Xi.

After the ecstasy brought by the reunion, Lin Xi soon began to ask about a series of things about her amnesia.

Of course, what Xavier knows is actually very one-sided. After all, as a heterogeneous species, it cares about things that are completely different from real humans, but even so, Xavier's description is already detailed enough.

Under Xavier's explanation, and with the items collected in the cave, Lin Xi managed to piece together some realities that he had long forgotten.

For example, the forced landing of the Helios, the madness of the captain Taran and the mutation of the crew...

And those mechanical warriors who attacked them——

Some blurry images flashed across my mind.

Lin Xi suddenly shivered.

He sighed and pressed his stomach involuntarily again.

Even if there were only some fragments of memory—the dummy, the rotten face and the cold eyes—the pictures in his memory were still like specimens of nightmares, permanently stuck in the depths of his heart.

Lin Xi even suspected that maybe it was because she was afraid of that figure that she refused to think about the past.

...Although on the other hand, he looks terrible now.

Lin Xi's eyes slowly fell on the body of the... particularly terrifying bug that she was carrying on her back.

In addition to the lost memory, what troubled Lin Xi was naturally his own mutation.

Up to now, Lin Xi still doesn't know why she transformed into a strange half-human, half-insect inexplicably.

Just today when Xavier took him back to the cave on the cliff, he asked about it again and again.

It's just that, as I said before, Xavier is just a heterogeneous species, and the thinking mode of heterogeneous species is completely opposite to that of human beings.

"But Lin Xi should be like this..."

When Lin Xi was eager to find a way to change back to his original form, Xavier just stared at Lin Xi's body obsessively, and then said solemnly

In the end, it was his own notes that gave Lin Xi the clue.

"Mother of all races."

Lin Xi saw that word in his notes.

He can be sure that this word, or everything about the alien species, must have given him a great stimulus, so that after seeing this word, many irrelevant memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

Crazy people, priests of new discs, and ancient myths...

Lin Xi really hoped that he could find the notebook belonging to Toshio Ando mentioned in the notes, but unfortunately, after searching Xavier's collection, he still found nothing, and finally fell asleep exhausted.

Is there any connection between the mutation in oneself and the myth of the ancient Sunu people?

What are heterogeneous?Is it himself, Xavier, and the white monster that suddenly appeared in front of him?

Lin Xi's thoughts became chaotic, her heart seemed to have turned into a stone, pressing heavily on his chest.

He thought that if he could find clues about memory, his life would become clearer, but now he has to admit that even if he reunites with Xavier and finds countless relics of the crew, he still has no sense of his past. I don't know anything, and I don't even know why I became the horrible appearance I am now.

So far, the only thing that can make Lin Xi happy is that he has received a fairly positive reply from Xavier, that is, both Bryce and Alyssa have left the ship in the lifeboat inside the Helios. planet.

"Bryce, Alyssa, are you going to be safe? You're going to save me..."

Lin Xi pressed the center of her brow, and then whispered softly.

"Lin Xi..."

A hoarse and deep voice came from a corner of the cave.

He raised his head and moved towards the direction of the sound, just in time to see Xavier slowly crawling towards him from the cave wall.

Compared with the daytime, Xavier's appearance now has a very subtle change.

Its facial contours were a little softer, and the metal-colored carapace was covered with a neon-like soft brilliance, and that brilliance could emit a hazy gleam even in a dim environment.

And its huge, blood-red compound eyes are even more piercing.Lin Xi couldn't see the slightest sleepiness on that ferocious face (Lin Xi was very suspicious that the other party might not need sleep at all).

Ever since Lin Xi woke up, he has been feeling vague sights... Maybe Xavier has been watching him since he woke up.

In fact, from the very beginning of their reunion, Lin Xi discovered this alien with a terrifying figure... This out-and-out alien monster had a strange love and obsession for him.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi realized that she didn't seem to dislike such emotions.

This may be related to his discovery that he was abandoned alone on a different planet, or it may have a lot to do with the mutation of his body.

Maybe if he continues to mutate like this, he will eventually lose his human appearance completely, and maybe he will become a complete monster...

In a flash of Lin Xi's effort, Xavier quickly crawled from the edge of the cave to the bed.

It stuck to Lin Xi's side, and its affectionate appearance always reminded Lin Xi of the puppy she had raised.

At this moment, it was tilting its head and staring straight at Lin Xi with those piercing red compound eyes. Its tentacles trembled slightly, catching the scent molecules emanating from Lin Xi's body.

Lin Xi could feel that the other party was trying to connect with her spiritually.

However, Lin Xi shook his head and refused to share his emotions with Xavier.

That feeling was a little too intimate, Lin Xi secretly thought in his heart.

"Are you not happy?"

Lin Xi's tiny retreat and resistance were quickly noticed by Xavier, and its tentacles drooped slightly.

The beautiful neon on the body is also slightly dimmed, which makes it look like it has faded.

Maybe it needs to find a time to further transform itself, it needs a pair of beautiful big wings - Xavier unconsciously swung his current hard, not so good-looking wings, the roots of the wings were slightly hairy itch.

But after all, Xavier today is not the simple and ignorant alien who didn't understand anything at the beginning. Although he was somewhat depressed in his heart, he still tried his best to maintain his superficial calm in front of Lin Xi.All the handsome and dashing villains in the soap operas it's seen are like that.

"Did something happen...?"

it asked in a low voice.

Lin Xi could see Xavier's uneasiness and uneasiness, and he immediately shook his head.

"It was just a nightmare."

Lin Xi said softly.

"Nightmare?"

"Yes, nightmares..."

While speaking, Xavier stretched out his insect limbs and put them on Lin Xi's wrist.

"If you're scared..."

Xavier stammered.

"... I... I actually... I can stay by your bed until you fall asleep again. If you know that I am guarding you by your side, you shouldn't have to be afraid, no matter the enemy Or a nightmare, I will solve it for you."

After a brief pause, Xavier suddenly changed his previous stammer, and spoke fluently to Lin Xi in a particularly low voice

"actually……"

Actually I didn't feel scared.

Lin Xi almost said this sentence.

He didn't lie, although he called that dream a nightmare, but he was very clear that the man who was constantly depressed towards him in the dream didn't have any malice, the only thing he could feel was the man's incomparable sadness with despair.

However, at the moment when she spoke, Lin Xi accidentally met Xavier's scarlet eyes.

Although Xavier himself was the first person who proposed to protect Lin Xi, at this moment, Xavier lying on the bed seemed more nervous than Lin Xi who had a nightmare.

Lin Xi could even see a little fear and anxiety in those insect eyes.

Facing Xavier's strange appearance now, Lin Xi couldn't help but startled, and then suddenly realized that what Xavier said just now sounded a little familiar.

It seemed to be a line from some urban soap opera that was popular when he left the earth.

After discovering this, Xavier's previous stuttering and later fluency all suddenly became logical.It's just that Lin Xi couldn't figure it out no matter what, Xavier thought this way back then, and would start reciting such ridiculous lines.

It is true to protect Lin Xi, and it is also true to want to sleep with Lin Xi.

Even though Xavier tried his best to maintain his deep illusion in front of Lin Xi, in front of human beings, the mind of alien bugs is still as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Lin Xi couldn't help but blinked.

In a trance, a familiar scene suddenly appeared in Lin Xi's mind - in that scene, there was a huge butterfly with a terrifying appearance.

The butterfly climbed down from the wall.

The butterfly was lying on the bed with him, covering his body with its wings.

Lin Xi couldn't help being stunned. When he came back to his senses again, there was already a faint memory in his mind.

That was... the original Xavier.

It's just that Xavier at that time was just a simple little butterfly. Even if he wanted to sleep with Lin Xi, he was very calm. It didn't understand at all, and Lin Xi would be troubled by it.

But now Xavier has learned the unique concealment and fear of human beings...

This is probably the growth that the abandoned misunderstanding brought to Xavier.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi's heart suddenly became very soft, even before he himself could react, he had already nodded to Xavier.

"Okay..." he said softly.

And before his words even fell completely, the terrifyingly huge bug climbed onto his bed directly. However, Xavier, who was just a light butterfly in the form of a heart at the beginning, and now this one covered with heavy and hard The variants of the carapace are basically two different forms.

Xavier had just spent the first half of his life on the bed. He had already experienced an explosion, and the dismantled and reassembled bed had already creaked under the weight.

After hearing that sound, Xavier's movements froze all of a sudden, its tentacles tensed suddenly, and it shook uncomfortably. It was placed outside the bed, while the forelimbs and upper body rested calmly on the edge of the bed.

"I'll stay here with you."

It spoke to Lin Xi in a deep and calm voice.

Lin Xi stared at Xavier like this, he clenched his teeth so that he would not show too obvious a smile in front of Xavier.

But in the end, he still couldn't help stretching out his hand, and caressed the other party lovingly.

"Actually, I can also go under the bed to accompany you. After all, I am no longer... a normal human being."

Lin Xi said in a soft tone.

Just such a simple touch, Lin Xi felt the pure and strong joy and joy suddenly burst out from Xavier.

Lin Xi once again felt the hot current gushing from the depths of his soul.

Even though the road ahead is long and the past is complicated, at least at this moment, Xavier's pure joy infected Lin Xi's already heavy heart at the same time, and it also somewhat relieved some of his strong anxiety caused by nightmares and the past.

It was at this moment that Lin Xi suddenly burst out with a strong desire.

"I wish I could remember...remember what happened between me and you."

Lin Xi murmured.

There must have been a strong emotional connection between myself and this alien species in front of me in the past, Lin Xi definitely thought.

Otherwise, how could he have such strong emotions for such a terrifying monster under the condition of amnesia?

Lin Xi didn't know if it could be described as love, but...

Unknowingly, the distance between him and Xavier has become closer and closer, the human part of him, that soft body, is tightly attached to Xavier's extraordinarily strong and cold carapace.

Xavier's elytra spread slightly, and a sweet and viscous buzz burst out from his chest.

That is at this moment.

"click..."

Another crisp sound of small stones falling came from outside the cave.

In fact, the sound was quite subtle, but it was the night on AS192, and there was no sound around, even the sound of a small stone falling could be regarded as a huge movement.

The movements of Lin Xi and Xavier froze for a moment.

After a while, Lin Xi let out a long sigh, and he broke free from Xavier's embrace.

Probably a familiar scene, it has happened before, after Lin Xi walked out of the cave, he was not surprised to see a familiar white shadow on the edge of the cliff

It's the white monster.

As a kind of it, even if it was deliberately left far away by Xavier, it still found Lin Xi and Xavier accurately by instinct.

But at this moment, most of its body is still hanging outside the cliff, only its two forelimbs are stuck on the edge of the cliff platform, and a pale face hangs like that under the thick night, which is very conspicuous.

After Lin Xi and Xavier's eyes met it, the white monster seemed to realize that its arrival was a bit inappropriate, and its tentacles were trembling crazily on the top of its head particularly restlessly.

The next second it slowly took a step back down the cliff.

It tried to cover its body with the stones on the edge of the cliff, but its action didn't do anything—Lin Xi saw Xavier's killing intent as soon as he turned his head.

Even if he doesn't need to connect through a spiritual connection, he can still clearly receive the strong killing intent of the one around him towards that hapless family member.

Lin Xi felt a little amused, but at the same time was extremely embarrassed. He had a strong premonition that this time, it might take a lot of effort for him to appease Xavier so that he would not tear the white monster into pieces. .

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but sighed.

Let's skip the complicated and tedious work of soothing.

Even Lin Xi didn't know how he did it... In the end, he finally calmed Xavier.

Under his repeated assurances, the white monster climbed up the platform from the cliff in shock.

Then followed in the footsteps of Xavier and Lin Xi and slowly entered the cave step by step.

Such a long time of tracking made the little white monster look a little embarrassed. It had some scars on its body, perhaps caused by the monsters in the forest. Its forelimbs were worn out, and its wings were covered with colors. Gorgeous dust.

It tremblingly hid on the edge of the cave, a corner farthest from Xavier.

The sinister atmosphere made this sensitive monster extremely nervous.It looked at Lin Xi pitifully, and let out a series of whimpers.

However, Lin Xi could clearly feel that the more pitifully that little monster whimpered, the more furious Xavier beside him was.

Fortunately, just when Xavier was about to lose control of himself and wanted to attack the little white monster, the little monster struggled to utter a few fragmented human language.

"There's something... rattling..."

It danced and gestured at its body, trying to tell Xavier and Lin Xi what it was about the voices they heard before.

"Something dangerous is moving in the ship."

"It's scary, it's scary, it's going to hurt me."

The little white monster had a strange voice when he spoke.

If it wasn't in a hurry, it wouldn't want to make such an ugly sound in front of Lin Xi.
