black queen hypothesis

For the next half hour, Silvio really understood what it was to be restless and live like a year.

At the earliest time, he was still rejoicing that all the compartments of the Athena were well sealed; as long as the air purification system in the living compartment was increased, there would be no pheromone residue after ten seconds.The sound insulation effect of the cabin is also perfect, unless there is a big accident like an explosion|explosion.

But he soon realized that he forgot another very important thing -

That spiritual connection is far from being truly formed.

It can't be said that Vilas deliberately lured|seduced anyone; after all, judging from other similar situations he has seen, Vilas has achieved the ultimate in isolating the synchronous influence of mental fluctuations——

If a guide has a sudden bond fever, even Sentinel with a pheromone compatibility of more than 60.00% with him will not be able to prevent the guide from directly projecting the influence on their mental landscape, thus artificially arousing their desire to bond.The higher the compatibility, the more uncontrollably the Sentinel will transform into a beast.

The pheromone compatibility between him and Vilas has reached an astonishing 100%, and a small part of the spiritual connection has also been established.This combination is almost inevitable, however, he can only detect some tiny details - the fabric rustles, as if someone is rubbing it unbearably; the panting, as if the mouth is blocked by something; , Suspicious sound of water...

Obviously, Vilas didn't want to affect him, and Vilas didn't have that need in the first place.And if he can ignore it, he should also ignore it...

Oh come on, Oswald is so manic that he almost rebelled!

In order to prevent the spirit guide from running into the cabin uncontrollably, Silvio decisively injected himself with a neutralizing agent.This was the first time this happened: because he had a dangerous premonition that if he didn't do it, the consequences would be something he didn't want to see.

Look at Vilas again.He frizzed out on the carpet once, then managed to throw himself into the bedding, biting the pillow for the second time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.He felt that this achievement was something to be proud of, after all, he firmly held the mental barrier; no matter whether he made the place dirty, Sylvio should thank him——

There's nothing scarier than bonding with an enemy, right?

Just as he took off his clothes, flattened his limbs, and closed his eyes to prepare for the third climax, the cabin communicator rang unexpectedly.

Vilas turned his head sideways, staring at the flickering blue lights bit by bit like a ghost.That was the internal communication system, and there were only him and Silvio on board; so what was the other party doing calling at this point, showing off?

Out of a mentality that would never show weakness, Vilas cursed in a low voice, and still picked it up. "I'm assuming you know what binding heat is?" he snapped.

Recognizing the lustful voice, Silvio was silent for a long time. "I still have two neutralizers here."

Vilas immediately remembered how the other party injected him with a neutralizer before he had time to react. "No," he immediately refused, "it's too late." Usually it might be useful; but this time the special neutralizer didn't last as long as it should normally have for a week, which means that another shot is more likely to be counterproductive.Even if you have to fight, it will take another two days...

Silvio became more and more silent.

Vilas told himself over and over to be patient, but his body protested | louder and louder; sweat rolled, his whole body trembled, and he could barely hold back his breath. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

Before Silvio could object, he heard the blind voice.He twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, and leaned back all of a sudden.The swivel chair made a slight noise, but he didn't notice it.

The extremely sharp five senses allowed him to hear the groan that Vilas was about to blurt out, and also let him hear the sound of the liquid dripping and drawing silver threads, and then soaking on the carpet.However, the other party still refused him without hesitation.Does this mean that he is the only one whose will is shaken?

And Vilas, who fell back on the bed, suddenly felt that the skin on his shoulders, waist, and thighs became sharper to the touch—because a sentry with pheromones who matched him had put his hand on it—he closed his eyes suddenly. Close your eyes, trying to forget that excessive and fatal physical attraction like two poles of a magnet——

You are the one who has the spiritual dominance, he reminded himself solemnly, he has already lost once on the battlefield, and he must never lose again!

Soon, he couldn't think about it anymore.The turbulent lust | came back, and he quickly fell into the center of the vortex.

Two days later, the Athena arrived safely in Capitol.Silvio does not intend to land directly, but chooses to dock with the prepared space station in low-Earth orbit first.

"Is the medical officer ready?" Silvio made the final confirmation before opening the hatch.

Bacall on the virtual photoelectric screen could not bear it anymore. "What's the situation?" He asked quickly, not lacking in worry: "Could it be that you were injured?"

Silvio looked at the soldiers waiting behind him and shook his head. "come in."

In a very short interval, he called the cabin again.When the other side picked up, he asked calmly, "Are you okay?"

Vilas's answer sounded ten-tenths weak and very hoarse. "Thank you for your concern, I still can't die."

Silvio frowned slightly at this similarly contradictory answer, but his tone did not change. "If you can go, come out for a checkup." He paused for a moment, "If you can't..."

However, Vilas rarely cooperates. "I see," he interrupted Silvio abruptly, "10 minutes...no, just 5 minutes."

The call was disconnected without hesitation again, and Silvio couldn't help rubbing his temples.

When Bacall came in with the medical officer, what he saw was such a situation. "You won't be really hurt, will you?" He was taken aback, but his senses told him in the next second that this guess was outrageously wrong. "It's not you, or the other one?"

Silvio sent the medical officer into the medical cabin to wait before replying: "No injury, normal physical examination."

Bacall didn't believe it at all. "Come on, you think I don't know, and you never call a medical officer for problems that can be handled by yourself?"

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Silvio sighed silently. "Sudden binding fever."

"...What?!" Bacall was truly terrified. "He's still you... No, it must be him..." He stared at Silvio suspiciously and worriedly while analyzing, "You two..."

"There is no combination." Silvio simply and neatly answered Bacall's unspoken question. "He locked himself in the cabin for two full days."

Bacall's eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide unconsciously. "What do you mean by that? He chose to go alone, and you..." He waved a hand indiscriminately, "Watching from the side? Didn't do anything?" Isn't the amazing compatibility of these two people Say so!

"I didn't look at it." Sylvio frowned unexpectedly. "Or you are willing to try to break through the mental barrier of a super S-level guide."

There were too many hidden messages in these words, and Bacall was completely dumbfounded.

Vilas is indeed a super s-level guide, but no one has ever told him that a super s-level guide can still keep the mental barrier stable during the bond fever?In addition, if Vilas can ensure that the mental barrier is strong enough to not affect the surrounding sentinels, does that mean that Silvio did not give him inhibitors?

Why?

Before Bacall could figure out why, the concerned party had already appeared at the end of the corridor.He walked over slowly, and the two sentinels keenly caught his half-wet hair and the smell of water that smelled like a bath.

Then he went straight into the medical cabin along the directional path.Bacall finally came back to his senses, and found that he unconsciously took a small step forward—if Silvio hadn't blocked him, he might have followed Vilas into the door. "That was just... Quinn's pheromone smell?"

Silvio paused before nodding, expressionless.

"The widest range of pheromone compatibility is not groundless..." Bacall muttered—he was a little scared, but fortunately he didn't do anything too rude just now—"He just took a bath, so those pheromones Did it get on his clothes before?"

Silvio didn't answer.He watched the situation inside the medical cabin through the glass porthole—the medical officer's movements were well-trained, and Vilas hadn't changed much except that he lost weight again.It's natural to lose weight. I haven't eaten for two days and two nights, and...

"……terrible."

Bacall's voice brought back Silvio's sanity.He looked away from the porthole and glanced at his old friend.

"It's horrible," Bacall repeated, with a look on his face that bordered on awe. "You and him," he pointed back and forth, and made a conclusion with great certainty, "you can hold back in this situation... Both of you are not human!"

If you have to say that, then Quinn is more inhuman... The Black Queen is not called for nothing.Silvio thought quietly, not intending to say it.

But Bacall did not expose the matter so easily. "Okay, it's understandable that Quinn's spirit is not good due to the sudden combination fever, why don't you look like you haven't slept well?" He asked again, and he couldn't say that he didn't have any cramps, "Could it be that you were attracted? So much so that you couldn't sleep at night? "

Silvio can't deny the attraction of Villas to him, just as he can't deny that his current state is indeed not the best. "The small spaceship is ready?" He changed the subject decisively.

Bacall didn't catch Silvio's flaw, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful. "Of course, it's a trivial matter." He promised, and couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do?" First the space station, then the medical officer, and finally the spaceship... In fact, he was already very suspicious, but he still wanted to hear from Xi Wei O said it himself.

"Send Quinn away." Sylvio threw out the answer he had prepared a long time ago, and as expected, Bacall was shocked once again——

"What interstellar joke are you playing?!"
