Qi Le

Discovering the seriousness of the problem, Qi Le couldn't care less, and immediately wanted to turn back into Lihua.After trying three times in a row, he found a serious problem, meow, he couldn't change back!

This discovery made the cat father completely confused.

Really shocked, Qi Le's eyes widened, his pupils shrank sharply, and the sharp nails popped out half an inch, scratching Xial's robe, and his whole body fell into a state of explosive hair.

How could this be? !

"Don't panic, it's okay." The deep voice rang in his ears, with a confusing rhythm.

Warm palms covered the back of Qi Le's neck, and his slender fingers penetrated into his hair, massaging his scalp with his fingertips.Xial lightly supported the back of Qi Le's head, and the other one covered his back, and slowly slid down the spine, stopping at a position close to his waist.

Qi Le shuddered involuntarily, and let out a nasal sound abruptly.

If he was still Lihua, he would definitely be "meowing" by now.

"This is the effect of bitter vanilla, mixed with another pheromone." Accompanied by the voice, a warm breath brushed against Qi Le's ears, with a soothing taste, "The effect will pass, don't worry."

"Pheromone?" Qi Le yawned, leaning on Xial's shoulder, unconsciously rubbing his cheek.

At this moment, he completely ignored the posture of the two of them.He only felt that the breath surrounding his body was very comfortable. He lazily lifted his chin, and made a sound similar to "snoring" in his throat.

"Correct."

Xial's voice was very soft, and he moved his fingers away from the black hair, rubbing Qi Le's throat with his fingertips, his pupils narrowed slightly, and his sharp fangs protruded from his lips.

"Relax, close your eyes, it won't be long before you get back to normal."

Qi Le moved a little awkwardly, was held down by Xi Yaer, and yawned again, trying not to close his eyes, causing the other party to chuckle.

A light kiss fell on the tip of the nose, and the warm breath swept over the corner of the lips, fleeting.

The cat dad suddenly raised his head, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant.The nails popped out another half inch, showing their fangs to Shial.

He didn't know why he made such a move.

Demonstration?

caveat?

It doesn't seem to be.

The other party seemed to understand what he meant, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and moved his fingers along his chin, stopping at the back of his neck.

Qi Le's movements stopped, and he let out a few guttural sounds unwillingly.The hand on the back of the neck was moved away for a moment, and he found that he could move freely, regardless of 21, he opened his mouth and bit it.

It's a pity that he didn't move fast enough to bite Xial's hand, but only bit a piece of sleeve.

At the same time, the seductive smell hit again, Qi Le let go of the cloth in his mouth, and licked Xi Yaer's palm.

Seeing this scene, I thought that my father was being bullied, the kitten meowed angrily, its body suddenly grew in size, and its fur turned into brilliant red gold.Tai Sui who was hanging on his body suddenly became heavy, firmly imprisoning his limbs, no matter how the kitten struggled, he couldn't rush to save him.

"Meow? Ow?!" ​​The kitten was very dissatisfied, why suppress him?

"Don't go over there." Tai Sui wrapped the kitten and retreated to the table in one breath, "The condition of that alien is not right, Qi Le reacts to his smell, don't go over there!"

"Smell?" The kitten tilted its head, what else is there besides bitter herbs?Why can't he smell it?

"I don't know." Tai Sui shook his head, grabbed the edge of the table firmly with the edge of his body, and firmly controlled the kitten, "Be obedient, don't go there, your father will be fine."

If you really rush over, it will really be a big deal.

Tai Sui has lived for a long time, and his understanding of alien races is far better than other races on Blue Star.

There is a lot of knowledge in his mind, some come from blood inheritance, some come from the memory in the process of growing up, and some come from nowhere at all, it is messy and intertwined like a ball of thread.

In other populations, in a similar situation, they would be driven insane without a brain explosion.

Tai Sui is not the case.

Relying on his unique talent, he often sleeps for dozens or hundreds of years. In his sleep, the messy balls of thread will be sorted out automatically.After waking up, I am naturally refreshed and will not be upset by messy memories.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a fragment of memory flashed through his mind, clearly telling him that Qi Le was not in danger, and that alien race would not hurt him.It only gets worse if you let the kitten rush through it.

The kitten doesn't have the talent to read minds, it can't receive Tai Sui's memory, and it still wants to struggle after barking twice.However, Tai Sui was determined, firmly "glued" him to the table, and never allowed him to move half a step.

Fortunately, Qi Le's condition didn't last too long, after about a quarter of an hour, he finally successfully transformed from humanoid form back to Lihua.Stepped on the furry paws, plucked the ears twice, swept the tail twice, and was held down by the big hand the next moment, unexpectedly did not swing the Shadowless Claw.

"Meow."

Qi Le licked his paws, he never thought that he would be so obsessed with the form of Li Hua.

However, things are not absolute.

Just like when he first arrived, he was completely unaccustomed to changing from two legs upright to four claws on the ground. If he suddenly loses his original form and maintains a humanoid form for a long time, it will also become quite inconvenient for him who is used to his current life.

Life is finally on the right track, Qi Le doesn't want any accidents to happen again.

"Is it better?" Xial leaned back in the chair, squeezed Qi Le's paw, and wanted to rub his stomach, but was slapped away on the spot.

However, compared with the previous few times, the cat father did not pop out his claws.The slap of the soft paw pads on the hand was more a game than a warning.

The captain stared at the back of his hand, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if opening the door to a new world, trying again and again, in exchange for hard slaps again and again.After a few times, the cat dad got a little annoyed with taking pictures, and couldn't help but want to stretch his paws, and someone still enjoyed it.

Patting someone's hand away again, Father Cat frowned.

Counting the previous one, this is already the second time he involuntarily changed his form.

Is it really because of the smell?

In addition to bitter vanilla, Shiar also mentioned a pheromone, what exactly is it?

Qi Le raised his head and tried to sniff the air, trying to catch the smell that Shiar mentioned.But nothing but cold metal, not even bitter herbs.

Do you want to ask directly?

Father Cat raised his head, met his ice-blue eyes, and felt that this was not a good idea.

When thinking about the reasons for the change, it is inevitable to think of everything that just happened.Realizing what he had done, Father Cat froze for two seconds, and buried his head with his paws.

The estrus period is still early, how could such symptoms appear?

He has to calm down.

After confirming that the "alarm" was lifted, Tai Sui finally let go of the confinement.

The kitten ran up to Qi Le with three steps in parallel, and meowed twice.

The father cat swept the kitten with his tail, signaling him to stay where he was.Then he turned his head, decided to listen to his intuition, put aside the doubts in his heart for a while, and patted the repaired instrument with his paw. When he found that the blue light had disappeared and the screen was dim, he let out a "meow" immediately.

"Don't worry." Shiar put Qi Le on the table, took off the discolored crystal nucleus, and replaced it with a more energetic one, "This should be a recorder, but it's old, so I can't confirm the information inside Is it well preserved."

The crystal nucleus began to work, and the screen slowly lit up.

The blue light diffused and slowly gathered together, showing a slightly blurred picture.

Seeing the image in the light, Qi Le's eyes widened, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Dark underground passages, long and narrow corridors, heavy metal doors, spacious laboratories, messy instruments, crowds flocking to the tunnel, even if they can't hear the sound, they can judge that this is a disaster scene.

The image is very blurry and the screen shakes constantly.

The crowd seemed to be being chased by something terrifying, and wave after wave poured into the corridor, panicking and running desperately.The video is intermittent, and occasionally there will be a short pause, which seems very strange.

Light replaced darkness again, and a figure in a white robe suddenly appeared behind the crowd.The atmosphere stagnated for a short time, and even through the screen, Qi Le could feel the panic of the crowd.

The man in the white robe is the Predator, chasing his panicked prey, cornering them and crushing their last hopes.

The crowd tried to resist, and a dozen strong men rushed towards the figure in the darkness, trying to buy time for the others.

Too bad they didn't succeed.

Blood splattered like rain, and shattered wreckage was thrown overhead, causing even greater panic.

The panicked crowd continued to run, reaching the end of the corridor, and desperately opened the metal door.

The smile with tears in it didn't unfold, it froze on his face for an instant.What waited for them behind the door was not vitality, not the sunlight falling from overhead, but zombies gushing out from the depths of the tunnel.

A large red light appeared in the darkness, and the zombies received orders, like a pack of ferocious wolves, rushed into the crowd ferociously, tearing up all their prey cruelly.

The sharp claws are covered with blood, and the flesh of the prey still hangs between the teeth.Before the victim can stop breathing, the predator has already rushed to the next target.

Qi Le held his breath.

The background color of the picture suddenly increased, and the blood splattered out, not a large area of ​​bright red, but a strange purple.

The person who recorded all this crowded in the crowd, did not run away in panic, but struggled to retreat to the wall, leaned against a hidden room, found that the door could be opened, used the crowd to avoid zombies, and hid as fast as possible. went in.

The picture flashed by, showing the scene in the room, metal brackets standing side by side, neatly placed petri dishes, fungi and mutated plants that had begun to grow, and the long and narrow corridor hanging in mid-air.

Qi Le's eyes widened suddenly.

That's the cultivation room, the cultivation room in the underground bunker!

The screen began to shake again, and the metal door suddenly bulged inward, as if a huge shock wave spread out.

Blood poured in from between the cracks in the door and dripped down the edge of the corridor intermittently.

A few fell into the petri dish and mixed with the original culture solution.

The withered fungus began to become alive, the lotus leaves continued to stretch, and several vines hung from the roof. Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole room became full of vitality.

The roots of the mutated plants climbed along the wall, consciously fixed the metal door, and blocked the gap tightly.

The inside and the outside of the door seem to be two worlds.

The image stopped abruptly here, and everything abruptly returned to darkness.

Qi Le stared at the scattered blue light and fell into a long silence.

"Meow."

The kitten walked up to Qi Le and rubbed against his front legs.The cat father finally came to his senses, instinctively lowered his head, and licked the kitten's ears.

Xial didn't speak, but clasped his hands on his lap, paying attention to Qi Le's reaction.

"I know that zombie in the white robe." Qi Le turned around, curled his tail over his front legs, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "I've seen him in District [-]."

"He hurt you?" Xi Yaer leaned forward, and pointed his fingertips exactly where Qi Le was injured.

Qi Le nodded, and briefly explained the cause and process of the battle.

If termites are not successfully induced, and there are no other native species to help, the outcome of the battle is really unpredictable.

"He's different from other zombies." Qi Le raised his paw and patted Shiar's finger.I really can't find a suitable adjective, so I can only boil it down to the word "dangerous".

"I'll kill him." Xial picked up Qi Le and stroked his back.His cheek was pressed against the back of his neck, the tip of his nose was buried in the smooth fur, and he rubbed gently, as if remembering his smell.

The cat father is a little numb.

Instead of burying your stomach, stick it on your back?

What is this development?

He wanted to turn his head away, but his ear was bitten again.

"Meow!"

Dad cat squinted his eyes, patience is limited, if you don't let him go, he will really show his claws!

A low-pitched laughter came to his ears, and the familiar smell wafted into his nose again. Although it was very faint, Qi Le couldn't help his paws from getting weak, and accidentally flashed into a humanoid form again.

When he found out that the situation was wrong, he had already rubbed back and forth on the side of Xial's neck a few times, and there was a faint fever in his body.

The communicator rang suddenly.

Seeing who sent the message, Shiar put one arm around Qi Le, pulled the robe over his body, and then turned on the virtual light screen.

Father Cat counted silently in his heart, counting from one to ten, and finally successfully transformed back into Li Hua.His movements were fast enough, and he still couldn't escape Aldo's eyes.

The pirate captain froze on the spot with his mouth wide open, unable to believe what he had just seen.

"Aldo," Xial pinched Qi Le's ear, drawing Aldo's attention back, "Can I expect good news?"

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news." When he knew it wasn't gossip, Aldo immediately entered the "work" state.

"Which one do you want to hear first?"

"You can decide which one to talk about first." Xial hugged Qi Le, leaned back in the chair, and did not intend to follow Aldo's pace for this conversation, "But I must remind you, this is related to your ability to obtain How much will you pay?"

"……All right."

When encountering the captain who doesn't play according to the rules, the pirates in the universe can only touch their noses, put aside the usual methods, give up the plan to raise the price, and honestly give the answer the other party wants.

"I tracked down the Tacrek merchant ship and encountered a cosmic storm near the ninth death star."

"The Ninth Death Star?"

"Yes." Aldo put away his smile and said sternly, "You must know what this means. To avoid accidents, I ordered the spaceship to stop moving forward and released a monitoring robot instead of tracking."

"I understand." Shiar nodded.

"Next, there are two pieces of news I want to tell you," Aldo turned his head, whispered a few words to the crew beside him, and then continued, "The bad news is that the spaceship I was tracking was not destroyed by the cosmic storm. It was shredded, and it was not drawn into the space-time tunnel."

"So they're still alive?"

"As far as the information sent by the monitor is concerned, that is indeed the case." Aldo spread his hands, "It is not for me to decide. However, they were lucky to escape the cosmic storm, but they failed to escape the curse of the Death Star."

"Oh?"

"That's the good news I want to say." Aldo paused, and found that Shiar's expression hadn't changed, and finally gave up on the trick.

"The spaceship fell into the Ninth Death Star during a cosmic storm."

"The people on board did not die in the crash, and they will never leave this planet, barring a miracle."

"No matter what species it is, without the protection of radiation protection devices, if they stay on the ninth death star for more than half a year, they will be assimilated by the species on the planet."

In short, they lose their thinking, sanity and memory, leaving only their survival instincts.

Shiar pondered for a moment, stroked Qi Le's back with one hand, and slid the other hand on the virtual light screen to call up detailed information about the ninth death star.

Qi Le stretched his neck as far as possible, and when he saw the planetary landscape and the incredibly huge creatures on the screen, his ears pricked up unconsciously.

Zombies will be assimilated by this planet?

He thought it was unlikely.

However, according to Aldo, this planet is inaccessible and cosmic storms often occur. Even if it is not assimilated, it is likely to be trapped there. For species threatened by zombies, this should be a good thing.

But saying a thousand words and ten thousand words will not solve the problem fundamentally.

For an existence like Gu Xuan, it is better to completely disappear to make people feel at ease.

"Don't worry." Seemingly feeling what he was thinking, Shiar pinched Qi Le's ear, "I will kill him, no matter where he is."

Qi Le lowered his ears, as if he smelled that seductive smell again.

The cat dad immediately covered his nose, making sure that there was no tendency to change his shape, and then he relaxed a little, picked up his paws, and began to think seriously: Leaving aside the pheromones for now, what is the matter with the stalled heartbeat?

"If there is an accident in the middle, and all the contracts cannot be reached, the remuneration can be halved."

On the screen, Aldo, upholding the good reputation of the pirates, offered to lower the price.

Of course it's impossible for free.

After all, he chased all the way to the ninth death star, and finally determined the location of the merchant ship.He almost broke into a cosmic storm halfway, so he should be compensated accordingly.Furthermore, he has two other "goods" on board, I believe Shiar will be interested.

"You want to use them to trade with me?" Siyaer hooked the corner of his mouth, "Perhaps the mother planet is more willing to ask a high price."

"I want you to listen to what they have to say before making a judgment call," Oren said.

"can."

The two tentatively reached an agreement, and Leia and Oren were brought into the command bay.

Seeing Shial on the screen, Leia felt hopeful, knowing that the opportunity she had been waiting for had finally come.

Oren paused, he could still remember Shiar's warning to him, and he also knew the horror of this man.Although the position has changed, but facing the commander of the Blue Star base suddenly, the sense of fear still arises spontaneously.

"I have quite valuable information." Leia cut to the chase.

In front of such things as the speaker and clan elders, you can go around and say that you keep half and half, and you can still get away with it.If it's Shial, it's better to say something and prove your worth before the opponent runs out of patience.

"Tell me." Shiar lowered her eyes.

The person on the other side of the screen thought he was thinking, but in fact, he just pinched Qi Le's paw and tried to rub Papa Cat's stomach for the hundred and hundredth time.

Due to the angle of view, Aldo, Leia and others naturally couldn't see it.

On the other side, Tai Sui and Xiaomao are very clear.

The kitten growled again, trying to rush forward.In the end, he was stuck on the table again by Tai Sui, and it was still useless to flap his four claws.

"My mother died at the hands of my father." Not paying attention to the gazes of Aldo and the crew, Leia met Shiar's eyes and said in a deep voice, "During the war between Star [-] and Star [-], my The mother told the secret of the population, which caused the fleet of Piedroes to fall into trouble. But she did not actively betray, but was controlled by a potion."

"How do you prove it?"

"I've seen the same potion, and I was forced to take it." Leia knew very well that persuading Xial was his only hope and the key to his revenge against the First Clan.

"As long as I check my blood, I can find out the ingredients of the medicine."

At first, Leia didn't understand why the body couldn't be left behind since his mother was dead and the secret was naturally covered up.He didn't realize it until he discovered the change in his blood.

This potion contains several special ingredients, once taken by a specific species, they will be fused immediately, and can never be excreted from the body.Therefore, in order to keep the secret, after the death of the mother, the body must be destroyed without leaving any traces.

More chances of him disappearing.

A soldier who served on the frontier, died in some battle, and his body was taken by the family to be buried without arousing any suspicion.

"I can swear that everything I said is true." Leia's eyes became transparent because of emotion, scales crawled up her cheeks, and the gills around her neck kept opening and closing.

"If you are willing to shelter me, I will swear allegiance to you!"

To master such a secret means danger and death to Leia.

Changing to Xial represents infinite possibilities.

Behind him stood Governor Alecto, who possessed enough power to compete with the mother planet.As long as the method is appropriate and "goodwill" is released, it is absolutely possible to form an alliance with Constellation, and even pull Constellation together.

The First Clan can use such a despicable method to obtain the secrets of Constellation. Looking at the entire alliance, no group is absolutely safe.

While Leia was waiting with bated breath, Shiar finally managed to touch Qi Le's stomach, but at the cost of leaving three claw marks on the back of his hand.

"You can come with Aldo's fleet."

"Thank you sincerely."

Leia bowed her head and folded her arms across her chest, swearing her allegiance to Shial in ancient ritual.

Oren stood where he was, not knowing what to say.

What would he have in exchange for asylum?

Why did Shiar accept him?

Perhaps, the other party is more willing to twist his neck.

"Commander, there is one more thing." Leia raised his head, glanced at Oren, and said seriously, "I hope to bring Oren Farnis to Blue Star."

"Are you willing to take responsibility for his actions?"

"Yes." Leia solemnly promised, "If there is anything wrong with him, I will kill him myself."

"I hope you will keep your promise."

Shiar didn't reject Leia, but just reminded: "Molan is at the Blue Star base, what does this mean, I think you can understand."

"Yes."

After expressing his thanks to Shial, Leia looked at Oren, and the first thing he said was: "If you can't prove your worth, I will choose to consolidate the friendship with Moran."

The translation is: If Oren can't show his usefulness, then he doesn't mind handing over the former heir of the first clan to Moran, so that he can win the favor of the other party and win a powerful ally in the base.

Oren: "..."

What about the friendship of fleeing together?

Leia spread her hands, her smile full of sarcasm.

There is half of the blood of the First Clan in his body, so he is so insidious and despicable.

"If you were faced with the same choice, what would you do?"

"I……"

"Could it be different from me?"

Oren was silent.

He has no way to deny that if he encounters the same situation, he will give up Leia without hesitation.

As they spoke, Aldo negotiated the full payment with Shial.

After the communication ended, the pirate captain stood up suddenly, pressed Leia's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Are you interested in being a pirate?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Leia shook her shoulders, avoiding Aldo's hand, "I have sworn allegiance to Shial."

"Ok."

Aldo stretched his waist, and said to the first officer: "You command, I'm going to catch up on sleep." He stopped suddenly halfway, and said to the navigator, "Set the shortest route, I want to go to Lanzhou as soon as possible." Stars get paid!"

"Yes!"

In the Blue Star Base, after finishing the call with Aldo, Xial carried Qi Le to the restaurant.

Qi Ning lay on his shoulders, Tai Sui was still hanging on the kitten's back, Heidou blinked, and looked at the plants climbing outside the tower, feeling quite nostalgic.As if sensing danger, the vines outside the wall quickly retracted into the flower bed, and all of them disappeared.

Meeting Sanders and Gaspers in front of the restaurant, Shial nodded slightly.The former's nose moved slightly, and he exchanged glances immediately, his face full of shock.

What exactly happened, and why did Shial emit this pheromone?
