Advent

"what?"

Belian's questioning was so blunt that Allen almost didn't react.

"Did I disturb your childbirth..."

So Bellian looked at Allen and repeated.

He didn't realize that Alan was at a loss, but became more panicked because of the other party's reaction—Alan didn't know that for children growing up in the central axis area, the combination and fertility of Alpha and Omega is quite sacred.

In a place like the central axis area, Omega with weak physique is quite precious, and the ring area is even more pervasive for the surveillance of people outside the region.

Therefore, if an Omega enters estrus and begins to make out with his own Alpha, all people outside the territory will do their best to create conditions for them so that they can successfully pass through estrus and conceive their own children.

For Belian, the most obvious sign that Omega and Alpha are in estrus is that they start to emit a good smell, and then the two will stick tightly together, kissing each other intimately, lip to lip.

——It happened to be the previous state of Allen and Raymond.

"Don't disturb Alpha and Omega having a baby."

Whether it is the relatives around or the elders in the camp, they have seriously warned the children in the autonomous region.

Because that is a very rare, very happy thing...

Although Belian is still ignorant of the relationship between Alpha and Omega.

But he already has enough experience-he can always smell a kind of deja vu in Alan and Raymond, just like the couples who are about to roll together that he has seen before.

The only difference is that if Belian interrupted Alpha and Omega in heat before, the latter would not care about his existence at all.

But Allen and Raymond separated immediately after discovering him.

"Feel sorry……"

Belian thought a lot, but in reality, only a moment passed.

"No, it's all right, Belian."

Under Belian's clear and innocent gaze, Allen had already reacted.

His cheeks were reddish, and he quickly argued.

"He and I are just...uh...I have no plans to have children with him at the moment..."

Oh damn what the hell am I talking about?

Why did he accidentally start following Belian's words?

God knows it was just a kiss.

As soon as the words were spoken, Allen felt that the atmosphere seemed more awkward than before.

To make matters worse, Raymond next to him cast a scorching gaze at him almost as soon as his voice fell.

Allen could only pretend that he didn't notice at all.He didn't even dare to guess what the man beside him was thinking...

Fortunately, Belian is indeed a cute child like an angel. After hearing Alan's denial, he immediately believed Alan's words.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had not disturbed the sacred fertility activities between Alpha and Omega.

After confirming this, the young child returned his attention to the handful of silver plants in his arms.

"This is a star flower for you, Alan."

He whispered, stepped forward, and handed the plant in his arms to Allen.

Allen took it subconsciously, and the bouquet of star flowers with silver branches and leaves exuded a light, ethereal and wonderful fragrance in his arms.

This is a beautiful flower even on Earth...

It must be very difficult to grow such flowers in such a harsh environment in the central axis area.Even if Alan doesn't know the ecology here at all, he can guess the moment he sees the flowers. This kind of plant must be very precious to the people in the central axis area.

But now Belian handed such a large bouquet to himself without hesitation.

"...It must be quite precious, right?"

Allen couldn't help but asked worriedly.

"Actually, you don't need to give me so many things... Whether it's flowers or medicinal materials, you should keep them for yourself."

"But, this is the star flower..."

Bellian blinked and replied very bluntly.

"This is Uncle Calvin, who brought seeds from his hometown. He said that the star flower can bring real stars to our world...and on that day, all of us can go to that piece of starlight to form a heaven."

As he spoke, Belian smiled happily at Allen.

"...Ellen is like a star to me! So this bouquet of flowers was originally intended for you—"

"Belian..."

Allen was once again in trouble.

He didn't know how to face his child who was full of expectations for him.

Had Calvin already told such a kid that he was "the one" Allen?

But it's not the same as unreal fantasy and legend.

Even as a "sea monster" at the beginning, he was actually just an ordinary person who couldn't even live his own life well.

He is not a so-called "star" at all, and he has no ability to bring people from outside the region to a world without pain...

But these are extremely realistic truths, how can I speak to the expectant child?

Just when Allen was feeling at a loss, he suddenly felt that Belian seemed a little too silent.

Allen froze for a moment, raised his head involuntarily, and looked at the other party through the lush silver bouquet, but caught a strangely deep and mature look in the eyes of the original innocent child...

"I should have left..."

Belian murmured, and then he suddenly reached out and stroked Alan's forehead gently.

"Alan Bracewell. You and your partner will have many, many lovely children...Your lives belong to each other, and you will be one with each other for eternity."

The weird, ethereal, and strange tone that came from the depths of the child's throat made Alan stunned for a moment, but after a moment, Belian shuddered suddenly, then he took a step back, and took his hand back from Alan's body in a numb manner .

The strange maturity and weirdness in his eyes disappeared suddenly, as if everything was just Alan's hallucination.

He was even a little confused, as if he had forgotten why he reached out to touch Alan, and why he said such strange and vague words.

As early as when Belian's tone changed, Raymond had already stepped forward vigilantly in an attempt to separate Allen from Belian.

Alan was blocked by him and looked at Belian. The latter looked the same as before, just an ordinary kid who didn't understand anything and didn't know anything.

He was taken aback by Raymond's vigilant gaze, and then looked at his fingers in a daze.

"Yes, sorry."

After panicking and handing his carefully prepared bouquet to Allen, Belian quickly left Allen.

Allen was left holding the bouquet of flowers and watching the child's back for a long time, without recovering for a long time.

What did you mean when you heard that sentence?Belian, why...why did he become like that?

What made Allen even more disturbed was why he actually felt that the faint whisper from Belian seemed like some kind of wonderful prophecy.

No, he must be thinking too much, maybe Belian is just talking nonsense, after all, he is just a child.

It's just... it just gets a little weird every now and then.

"Ellen? You've been looking at that little thing."

Seeing that Allen's attention was once again attracted by the disgusting creature cub with a stench all over his body, Emperor Naga felt unhappy for a moment.

(However, thinking of that little thing saying that before leaving... the unhappiness doesn't seem to be very strong.)

Raymond came to Allen as if nothing had happened, and then reached out and hugged the bouquet of star flowers into his arms. Then, he turned his head and blocked Allen's sight with his body.

Now, Allen could only look at him.

"...Does Allen like that kind of dirty cub so much?"

With a hint of grievance, Raymond asked Allen a little dissatisfied.

"This kind of child is not beautiful at all. If Alan likes it, you and I will also—"

"Raymond, stop."

Allen quickly interrupted Raymond's words.

"The two of us haven't gotten around to talking about that kind of thing..."

Although a bit unbearable, Allen still had to puncture Raymond's fantasy.

"By the way, you're right, I really like Belian..."

Allen sighed, then said.

"Actually, the children here... the people here, and all the people from outside the territory here make me feel very strange..."

Recalling what Calvin told himself before, Allen's expression became a little complicated.

"...Maybe it's because my singing has never brought anyone anything."

Allen sighed lightly.

"Many people have suffered misfortune because of me..."

For example, Mr. Mason.

For example, the mother who is still in the madhouse.

For example, at the beginning those interests were swept away by fanaticism...

……

"Whether it's someone else or myself, I thought my singing could only bring disaster and despair, but I didn't expect that in such a remote place, there were people who were saved because of my singing."

Allen murmured to Raymond.

The latter immediately became quiet when Allen spoke.

Allen liked Raymond's gaze at this moment.

Perhaps, only in front of this guy, Allen has the courage to speak his mind so frankly.

"Although it's a little embarrassing... But I think I should be happy. I hope they can live well, and I also hope that my singing can really bring them hope, but, it's just that I'm just an ordinary person... "

Allen sighed.

And in this situation, even I can't protect myself.

Thinking of the series of events he was involved in, Allen felt a little depressed.

Those outsiders like Alan so much.

But Allen is very clear that he can't actually do anything for these painful and innocent people...

Of course, immersed in his own thoughts, Alan didn't know it, when he told Raymond frankly that he really liked the group of people outside the territory.

Between the dirty and narrow pipes and metal structures in the central axis area, some kind of flesh with deadly suction cups and a large amount of mucus slowly squirmed.

They withdraw their bodies from certain positions.

Similarly, in the central axis area... some people also escaped their original fate because of Alan's whisper.

Take, for example, a certain Central Axis sheriff.

After expressing his enthusiasm for idols, Calvin put himself into work again,

A drop of mucus dripped slowly down the dilapidated plumbing connection above his head.

The sticky and even warm liquid fell directly on Calvin's back.

"Well, what the hell is this—"

Calvin shuddered, then frowned and walked away from that position in disgust, but he didn't know that at that moment, it wasn't just slime that was supposed to fall on him, but some kind of terrifying cosmic creature. He mouthed ferociously.

But... Allen still likes people outside the territory.

Although Raymond really couldn't understand why-why Allen would like these strange creatures with mixed blood, hard lives, and very weak vitality.

Raymond sighed softly deep in his core.

But since Ellen likes life, let them live on.

he thought.

Well, from this point of view, He is indeed becoming more and more human.

If it is this kind of life, when Raymond is not Raymond but just Naga Emperor, He probably doesn't even bother to classify them as food, because they contain too little energy.

...By the way, being hugged by him with a bouquet of flowers is also an eyesore.

The feeling of discomfort in Raymond's heart became stronger when he remembered what good things Belian had interrupted before.

As if aware of Raymond's mood at this moment, Allen suddenly stretched out his hand involuntarily, and then hooked Raymond's little finger

"Don't worry, although I also like the people of the outside world...But, as a humanoid creature, there is only one I like the most, and that is you."

You have not fallen out of favor.

Allen didn't know why he said this to Raymond suddenly, it was like an instinct, he always felt that Raymond really needed such pampering now.

Sure enough, as soon as Alan's voice fell, Raymond's eyes brightened instantly.

The young and tall Alpha hugged the bouquet in his arms again. Suddenly, the silver bouquet, which was originally mediocre and stinky, became extraordinarily fragrant. The faint scent similar to mint rose suddenly and poured into Raymond's nostrils.

It is at this very moment...

bouquet……

Aroma of the Silver Bouquet...

In the depths of the memory of the real "Raymond", some fragments that should have been deleted surged out because of the fragrance of flowers.

Raymond paused slightly in an undetectable range.

It was actually a memory that had been forcibly erased, and was hidden under countless intricate psychological hints and interference information. No wonder the Emperor Bai had rummaged through it so many times before, but he never noticed it.

But now, the scent of flowers is like a key, opening the black box hidden at the bottom of consciousness.

The memory of "Raymond" spewed out in an instant——

... at first thought it was dark.There is a strange feeling in the air around the body, it is not on the earth, but on a different planet.

In the poorly decorated but small room with enough heart, there is a bouquet of silver flowers on the bedside of "Raymond".

And behind the bouquet is a small encrypted communicator. After a man's holographic projection covers the silver branches and leaves, his voice is transmitted very clearly.

"...Don't forget that we stuffed you into the airship and sent you to Planet Reynas for a mission! The reason why you are there is not because of others, but because you have a mission to complete!"

The voice was sharp and haughty and repulsive.

This was followed by "Raymond" responding...

That is, even as the Naga White Emperor, he could feel uneasy and hesitant.

"But...sir...this is a crime of genocide. If this thing is found out in the future, I will go to a military court...and waiting for me can only be the death penalty..."

"Raymond Morecambe...you really don't look like your father. Mason wouldn't be so indecisive like you when you were your age! You are still worried about the military court. Have you forgotten that you received The order came directly from the military! The last thing you should worry about now is the military court."

"But……"

"Son, think about where you are now! Reinas occupies such an important position, but it is an autonomous planet that is not controlled by the earth at all. Have you ever thought about how much this is a huge hindrance to the military plan, goose military department Once you stop, all human beings in the solar system will stop.

And everyone knew that the group of people from outside the territory on Reinas did not belong to human beings at all.That's nothing more than a bunch of bastards - but think about how much our people go to feed these utterly ungrateful bastards.We are raising a bunch of aliens with our own money... It's time to stop this waste, we don't need to let those guys waste the resources of the earth people! "

"You're right..."

"Raymond" remembered the scene he saw during the day.

The planet Reinas has a natural environment very similar to that of the earth, but the people here seem to be still in the primitive society. Their life is so primitive and backward, everyone is as stupid as a monkey that just crawled out of the jungle.

Yes, actually that man said yes, there is no need to waste resources on such things.

Sensing his determination, "Raymond" stood up and took a deep breath.

"I will complete the task, please rest assured." He said softly to the communicator, then he turned around and took out a small knife.

His body trembled slightly, and his heart beat very fast.

The Emperor Bai could feel Raymond's fear and hesitation at the beginning, but in the end he still attacked himself. After cutting his skin... he squeezed out a small capsule-like thing from under the skin

Well, when the capsule was placed in his palm, his body trembled even more.

It's still that kind of fear... great fear, even if Raymond has indeed made up his mind, when he sees the capsule, he still feels uncontrollable awe.

Immediately afterwards, he wrapped up the wound on his arm, then turned and left his residence...

He slowly approached, a huge lake that was crystal clear.

This is the most important drinking area on the entire planet Reynas, next to the capital of Reynas.

Trembling, Raymond threw the capsule into the lake

In the dim, trembling, fuzzy memory, through Raymond's eyes, the Emperor Bai could see the capsule disintegrate quickly after it touched the lake water, and then some special liquid spilled out. green.

...

Then, there was a piece of vague and distorted interference information. Obviously, after completing this task, Raymond was forcibly erased by his own people, and the erasure of this memory was so thorough that even now the White Emperor still has no memory. way to know exactly what happened.

Followed by another memory of Raymond, this time he has returned to the earth

It should have been an ordinary weekday morning. "Raymond" was sitting at the dining table like a young master, waiting for Allen to provide him with breakfast. The smart butler next to him was providing him with morning news with a blank expression:

"Reynas Star, the most important autonomous planet in the distant star region, recently broke out due to unknown reasons. The United Earth Government has issued a warning to all Earth personnel in the solar system. Please do not go to Reynas Star in the near future... The Earth Coalition Government We have urgently extended a helping hand to the aboriginal peoples of Planet Reinas, and all the survivors have moved into the space artificial living base... A new medical team has been sent to the planet for follow-up investigation..."

Well, if Raymond hadn't been erased, he would probably remember that he was the chief culprit of the plague, but in the memories retrieved by Emperor Bai, he was just smiling at Ai at the breakfast table. Ren said viciously.

"For God's sake, how much money do people on Earth have to waste on resources like this ghost place. What does the plague of people from outside the region have to do with people on Earth? That kind of garbage should die there—what are you? Expression? Do you think I'm wrong?"

In my memory, Allen was sitting at the other end of the table expressionlessly.

In the memory of "Raymond", Allen's expression looked particularly disgusted and dissatisfied.

...as if he looked down on Raymond at all

In the next second, "Raymond" was immediately enraged.

He pushed back the table abruptly and stood up, then kicked his chair hard.

Then, he slowly rolled up his sleeves and walked slowly towards Allen.

"Speak... Alan, do you think what I just said was wrong?"

……

The Emperor Bai suddenly withdrew from this memory.

Although it was only a vague and dim memory, Emperor Bai still had a strong dislike for himself because of this memory.

Once again, the tentacles fired an extremely disgusting chemical at him through the thin and complicated connection...

After all, they are not advanced enough to distinguish between memories and the White Emperor himself.

Thinking that he was now Raymond Morecambe, the Naga White Emperor once again fell into extreme regret.
