overnight evolution

Xi took a deep breath, and the cold air flowed through his lips, making a weak hiss.I could feel the muscles under my palms regathering strength, and the emotions in the eyes of the young man beside me gradually settled down, leaving only a firm light in his eyes.Xi tightened his fingers tightly on the hilt of the sword, and said as if promising something: "If he dares to leave like this, I will kill him for you."

The boy's fingertips were still trembling, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force, but now he turned his face sideways and gave me a comforting smile, "These people are begging him, Ask him to take them away from this continent. But Ah Feng, don’t worry, as long as he dares to nod, I will kill him for you.”

My grandfather coughed lightly and called his name: "Qi."

The young man didn't seem to hear it at all, I was the only one left in the dark eyes, and the clear voice slid past my ears: "Although I can't keep him, I can definitely kill him."

The heavy clouds finally dissipated completely, and the moonlight was like water, covering the sky and the earth.More and more people rushed towards him, broke through the final limit, and approached with their accusations and blood and tears.

When a sleeping baby was carried by his mother to the front of the crowd, Xiu finally moved.

His figure turned into countless particles of light, falling from the sky like quicksand.In the next second, the whole person reappeared in front of the mother and child, and quietly reached out to touch the child's sleeping face.The woman who was no longer young slowly shed tears and whispered something in front of him. Behind them, countless people listened quietly with sad expressions, even the woman who was screaming hysterically shut up. As soon as he opened his mouth, bloody tears scattered in front of him like red crystals.

Although Xiu's expression didn't change, his gaze became cold.Grandpa frowned while sitting in the wheelchair, clasping his palms on the solid armrests, deforming the hard metal.

Then, Xiu finally started to speak.I stared hard at his lips, trying to make out what he was saying from the shape of his lips, but it soon became apparent that it was futile, too.There is an invisible barrier between us and this group of people, and we cannot cross it anyway. We cannot approach their world, let alone interpret their thoughts and behaviors.

"Why...they are different from us, why can't I hear it at all?" I murmured out the confusion in my heart, rather than expecting someone to give me an answer, it is better to vent my emotions unconsciously.

Since I stepped into this world, no one is willing to answer my questions. They always avoid and shirk blindly. Every time I have to wait until something happens before I know what I should do and what I should not do. What happens if you do, and what happens if you don't.Well, it sounds like I'm complaining about my guardian's incompetence, but in fact... I can't say how competent he is.

There are always people missing, or something goes wrong, and now there is a tendency to throw me here——

If he does, I... I don't know what to do.

Xi listened intently to their conversation, a look of wavering flashed in his eyes, which was soon replaced by determination.He shook the sword in his hand, turned his eyes to me again, and said softly: "Feng, come with me."

He pulled me back with his backhand, and the surrounding light suddenly distorted.The visual nerves attacked by the brief darkness, my grandfather's drink was cut off like a scratched record.After he reacted again, the wind that hit his face had become as sharp as a knife, mixed with rough sand, and fell into his eyes, making his eyes hurt.

Xi gasped for a moment before setting up a small light curtain to block the wind and sand. I looked down and found that two people had reached the top floor of the castle, and countless aircraft were hovering in midair, forming a semicircle.Xiu is not far from us, with a tall and straight back, still looking very reliable.

Xi's physical strength was a little weak, and he slid to the ground leaning on the broad sword in his hand.My mind was blank, and my eyes were still fixed on Xiu's figure, watching him caressing the baby's little face, as if he didn't notice our appearance at all.

After my thoughts gradually returned to my mind, I controlled my stiff hands and feet and sat down on the ground.After a long silence, he found his voice and asked him, "Xi, where is your crystal?"

You can't teleport without a crystal, even a three-year-old knows that.He didn't deny it, and took out a necklace directly from his arms. What hung at the end was a water-colored crystal the size of a fingernail. At this moment, the warm light only made people feel extremely glaring.

"for--"

I couldn't help but sneer after I uttered one syllable. How many times have I said this word today?How many times can I get someone's answer?

In the end, he shook his head resignedly, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, whether it's your first time coming back has nothing to do with me."

He was putting the necklace back under his clothes with one hand, his movements became sluggish after hearing this, and he looked at me with dark eyes sadly.I turned my face away from him and said, "I don't want to know who gave you the permission to develop this castle, I just want to know, what did you bring me out for?"

"Don't you want to know what happened?" He lowered his eyes and continued to tuck the necklace into his clothes. "The old man won't let me tell you, so come out and say it clearly."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but look sideways at him, and then a dull pain arose in my heart.

"He won't let you tell me, so you still bring me out?"

Xi raised his head, his eyes were full of seriousness, and he said word by word: "I said that I would never lie to you. Since it is what you want to know, it doesn't matter if I tell you everything." He straightened his arms and pointed The people in front said softly, "Did you see them? The original bodies of these people are all insects. The original body is a very wonderful thing. It can tell others that the evolution of those races is hidden in your genes." puzzle."

I recalled the tall phantoms that filled the entire world, and found that they were indeed all in the form of insects, and there were no other creatures.

Xi put down his trembling arms, looked at the people surrounding Xiu, and continued, "Zergs have their own way of communication, and their sound waves are not at the same frequency as the sound waves that other races can receive, so you can't hear them. Communication. This is species segregation, if you don’t have Zerg genes, you will never be able to integrate into their world.”

"But...but you can hear it." I felt that I was approaching a bizarre truth. The sense of confusion and fear made people hesitate, and I didn't know whether I should take another step forward and pierce this layer of window paper.

"Afeng, I... There is a reason why your grandfather doesn't want you to know these things." Xi's eyes were clear, and he didn't mean to laugh at me, "If you don't want to listen, then tell me."

After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for me to make a decision.

I didn't allow myself to think for too long, and simply made a decision: "Tell me."

If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to get closer to the truth.I try to clear my mind, "You're a griffin—"

This time, Xi didn't give any confusing answers, he nodded hesitantly: "I am, but..."

"Yes, that's fine!" I interrupted him, refusing to experience the coldness from the depths of my soul more clearly, "I don't care, I don't care...whether you are his, his son or not! I don't care , you hate me, I, I..."

A flame exploded in my palm, Xi immediately pulled me over and hugged me tightly: "Feng, I don't hate you, how could I hate you? You are mine—"

He closed his mouth and did not continue.My hands were trembling, and out of the corner of my eye, my eyes fell on the person whose back was still facing us, and I sadly realized that I couldn't avoid reality at all.Xiu had a son, and probably a deep past, but told me nothing.

Bastard, what the hell is this old man?You really didn't play tricks on me, you should show some sincerity!

"Ah Feng, Ah Feng—"

The boy next to me called my name repeatedly, trying to calm me down, "I don't hate you, I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you..."

I grabbed the clothes behind him, and my voice was stuck in my throat: "You...how can you not hate me? I...fuck, if I'm with your dad, I'll be a stepmother! Fuck it— —”

Nima, I became someone's stepmother for no reason, stepmother, bastard!

... I don't know whether to cry or laugh out loud for him.

Xi was stunned for two seconds. He probably didn't expect me to say such a sentence. He immediately lied on my shoulder and laughed so hard that his whole body became weak, and he could hardly sit still.

I was also dumbfounded by his smile, and then I felt extremely annoyed, and at the same time, I was inexplicably laughed: "Is it that funny?"

Xi's voice came muffled from my shoulder, still with an obvious smile: "Yes..."

I frowned: "If you laugh again, I will turn my face off if you laugh again!"

"I...it's alright, poof—" He endured and endured, forcefully letting go of me, "I won't laugh anymore, Afeng, you...stepmother, poof, you are not my stepmother."

——Well, it’s not the stepmother, but the stepfather?

"Listen now."

He still couldn't help laughing, pointing his back to our Xiu, "I'm not his illegitimate child, he doesn't recognize me."

Seeing my suspicious face, he withdrew his smile and said seriously, "It's true, I'm really not his illegitimate child. We—" he thought for a few seconds, and said softly, "It just happens to be the same kind, as a lion. Vultures, but with Zerg genes in their bodies. When the sleeping blood is awakened, it will attract countless companions. Those in power on this continent have created countless new species, but they cannot tolerate the Zerg and the descendants of Atlantis. They are of mixed blood. They have been treated too much unfairly, and urgently need to seek a strong shelter, so they are begging the strongest man on this continent to take them out of here. The thing—that’s it.”
