put away your canines

"Mr. Wei, the matter has been settled." A bodyguard lowered his head, "Next, do you have any other orders?"

"Ah."

In the flickering light of the cigarette butt, this Mr. Wei raised his index finger and brushed his upper lip habitually.

In the nicotine that is about to lose focus, from his nose to jaw, from fingertips to wrist bones.Every twist and turn reveals a snake-like sense of danger.

His pupils are light-colored, like a spoonful of sticky honey, and when he stares at something, it always triggers a sticky illusion that can almost pull out filaments.

If it is not exposed to such light, the pair of pupils may release unparalleled incitement.

He was wearing a Neapolitan three-piece suit, flannel, and a brooch with diamonds.The shell-made gown buttoned tightly to the throat, and the proportions of the figure pinched out by the clothes are outstanding.

This man behaved more like a well-bred medieval duke than the largest shareholder in the family group.

Wei Chen rested his chin on one hand, crossed his legs calmly, and placed the cigars on the tray.

At his feet, a middle-aged man was kneeling with his mouth full of blood, as if his shoulders had been crushed by invisible gazes—just now, this Omega had dug out his glands himself.

Removing someone's organs seemed to him just the price of a kiss of lips.

"Okay." He exhaled a puff of thin white smoke, and said, "Your matter should have a result."

The middle-aged man's Adam's apple immediately slipped and trembled.

"Forgive me! Forgive me, please." He knelt on his knees, his arms bound with nylon ropes and unable to move.But his chin rubbed against Wei Chen's leather shoes flatteringly—his face was pressed against his narrowed arch, and a delicate kiss was printed, "I was wrong, really..."

A power ring tapped his knee nonchalantly.

"He's in heat with a strange Omega, trying to mark it forcibly." The slender finger wearing the ring made a simple gesture.

Diagonally behind him, the female Alpha, who had been silent for a long time, leaned on the back of the sofa, leaned over to his shoulder, and handed a medium-sized vise to his palm.

Wei Chen looked at it left and right, and said in a calm tone, "——You shouldn't have committed the crime for the first time."

Unable to respond.Every cell in his body was stifling his voice, warning him not to respond.

Alpha could only keep his eyes wide open, looking around in cold sweat.From the angle of kneeling down, he could only see a poisonous scorpion tattooed on the back of Omega's hand.

Every stroke of the jungle creature is portrayed exquisitely.As it approached, he only had time to feel the spines poking into his own arteries.I am about to die under the gaze of these eyes, becoming one of the captives, prey and bait.

In a daze, the jaws plunged into his mouth and clamped the last canine tooth.

The beautiful lips that are close at hand move a little.

"say."

"It was an accident. Really, really it was just an accident." The middle-aged man whimpered, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, "You haven't been given inhibitors, and you haven't been marked. That's why I, I didn't hold back... "

Those snake-like eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's ok."

"what?"

——The answer to this question is only a simple movement.A metal object clamped his canine teeth, and with a little force, the already loose teeth would be pulled away from the gums in an instant, pulling out a streak of blood in mid-air.The left half of the scalp seemed to be split by something, and there was a burst of severe pain.

Alpha huddled up on the carpet, knees almost pushed to the limit.He screamed loudly, and the expensive European-style carpet under his body slowly spread a circle of water stains.

Wei Chen always watched everything with cold eyes, and the screams only merged into vague ripples in his ears.

He relaxed his crossed legs, resting his elbows on the padded armrests, his cheeks.Tap the leather surface repeatedly with your fingertips.

When knocking on No.15, the indifferent spectator finally got up and stepped over the dying Alpha.

"Let's go."

The secretary who was on call at all times followed quickly and sent disinfectant wipes.Wei Chen wiped each finger clean slowly to avoid blood stains remaining between the fingers.He gave the other party a last look—because the man was grabbing his trousers, begging for forgiveness.

"Come on, please, my daughter is still in college. If I die, all my debts will be transferred to them..."

"Wei, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with that, and he doesn't even know about it." The female Alpha standing beside him with arms folded grabbed her coat and put it on her shoulders, "Let me remind you. This is a waste of time .”

"Vera." Wei Chen moved the toe of his shoe and crushed the middle-aged man's finger.He looked down at him and smiled, "Have someone tidy up the carpet too. I like a cleaner place."

Vera understood immediately, she took a step back and dragged the screaming Alpha into the shadows.Others also gathered around.

After that, what filled the smoke was no longer silence, but extremely shrill cries, until the voice gradually weakened and gradually returned to silence.

The secretary opened the heavy door for him, and the air in the corridor flooded in instantly.

"...Well, an Alpha that is about to divide." He stood still, hesitating, and at that moment, he sneered, "The timing is quite a coincidence."

***

At the only orphanage in the South Islands, unadopted teenagers spend their childhood there until gender separation is complete.Children of different age groups and genders will be supervised separately.

Because once the division is complete, no matter whether they have plans for the future or not, those children who fail to leave the islands will be deported and become the most common laborers on the docks, maybe even worse than that.

On weekdays, they need to exchange labor for many things.

Now is the working time after lunch, Yue Chuan found a place near the corner and sat down alone, put on his gloves, and twisted the linen rope required by the hospital.Recently, several freighters have been moored in the archipelago to take a rest, and the hospital hopes that they will hurry up to produce a batch of handmade products.There are many resources in exchange for doing this—food, water, and priority referrals to adoptive families.

Yue Chuan didn't care about the third option. In his opinion, he only needed to complete the order blindly, and the others were out of consideration.It's a pity that the working time left for him is always shortened by various accidents.

—— "A Yue, why did you come here? I've been looking for you for a long time. By the way, have you heard about it?"

Someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, and the empty stool beside him was lifted up a few centimeters.No need to think about it, the boy who occupied the seat is called Ike Ye, a standard East Asian face.He is a social expert who has no shortage of friends, and most people admit to maintaining a good relationship with him.The two met in an activity class, an unfortunate grouping plan.

Every time he recalled this "misfortune", Yue Chuan felt extremely painful.The partner refused any trouble, and all manual work was pushed to him alone.Not only that, but Ikeno will take a few finished products and give them "generously" to his friends.Yue Chuan really didn't want to express his opinion on this matter, he was not good at it, and even his helpless emotions were misunderstood as permission many times.

This sent a wrong signal to Ikeno, making him think he was entitled to run amok.

"Why are you ignoring me again?" Chi Ye stretched out his five fingers, rolled his eyelids while deliberately shaking his eyelashes, "What's the answer, A Yue? Did you not hear about it or did you not want to listen to me?"

Koshikawa avoided his gesture by shaking his head.

"...I haven't heard of it."

"That's right, that's right." Chi Ye smiled disapprovingly, "It seems that there is a large-scale event today, and I heard the instructor talking to others outside, and they said that we should gather in the auditorium at that time."

"Ah."

Seeing that he responded with a modal particle but was still busy with his hands, Chi Ye stretched out his hand to grab his rope.

"It doesn't matter if you don't finish these things—don't be too busy."

"To finish today."

"Isn't it for you to finish this kind of thing in one day, is it necessary to be so serious?" He quickly wrapped the rope around his wrist and hugged him behind him, not letting him continue to rush, "Ah Yue is really, can't we be a bad boy together? ?”

"……why?"

"Because your performance is so good, you will be adopted." He seemed to have a long history of resentment about this matter, pouted and looked unhappy, "I don't want you to be taken away."

Yue Chuan looked down at the flax rope that was about a third of the way to be completed, several places had been loosened by Ikeno's stepping on it, and it was estimated that it would have to be re-knitted.

"If no one adopts you. When the differentiation is completed, we will leave the orphanage together and find a job together. We will live happily together." Chi Ye smiled and put his arms around his shoulders, rubbing his cheek hard, "Sounds great, right? Are you looking forward to it? Ah Yue, you want to be friends with me forever, how can you be adopted alone first?"

Just as Yue Chuan was about to push it away, he heard footsteps like raindrops.The instructor stood in the middle of the square and announced to them that the working hours ended early.

"Assemble. All line up and go to the auditorium."

Under the guidance of the leading teacher, they arrived at the auditorium and lined up in a standard square team.Yue Chuan stood in the seventh row, the third position near the gate.After entering the door, someone inspected their standing posture, clothing and mental outlook with a serious look.The rules were emphasized three times: no talking, no superfluous movements, no laughing or talking to yourself.

After the inspection was completed, the team leaders retreated to both sides of the team, and after nodding to the security personnel at the gate, the auditorium gate swung open.

Among the moving figures, Yue Chuan first saw a few bodyguards in suits and leather shoes.Scars, tattoos, and missing fingers, these men stink of blood more than even the most dangerous murderers.There is a pistol hanging from the leather buckle on their back waist, and they all look well-trained in terms of gait and aura.

He concluded that this visitor had something to do with it.

First up on the podium was the director of the orphanage, Mr. Fei—he only allowed others to call him that, which he thought was polite.The stocky old gentleman carried a thick stack of speeches, and his neckline barely covered his goiter neck.On the stage with him, there was a man who attracted most of his eyes as soon as he came up.

In the distance, he could only vaguely see the man wearing a navy blue striped tie with tie clips.Quite a high-profile double-breasted vest and a solid-color shirt, which are concentrated on the waist and thighs, have a natural appeal.People can't help reminiscent of old-fashioned British movies, gentlemen, trench coats, and maybe old-fashioned manners.

"Good afternoon, children." Mr. Fei held up his reading glasses, pressed his blunt fingers against a line of words, and said stiffly, "This is Mr. Wei. Applause, let us welcome with applause—"

"...There's no need to be so troublesome." The man raised his hand to interrupt his long speech.The light blows his soft bangs, bringing a sense of beauty combined with old times and classical murals.

At that moment, Yue Chuan's pupils almost shrunk to the size of a pinprick.It was as if something had seeped into the blood.A thin layer of sweat rose from his throat, and there was a strange feeling of blood congestion in his waist and hips. He suddenly realized that there was an indescribable fragrance in the air.

But the smell is indescribable, it is straight, very fragrant, very strong.Like a magnet, but also like a memory dormant in instinct.

"A Yue... are you okay?" Chi Ye took his hand and said in a low voice, "I saw this man on TV, his name is Wei Chen. Although he is very famous, he always does something Terrible thing..."

"What do you mean?"

"He's a very famous guy on the West Coast. I don't know exactly what he does. I've heard he pulls Alpha's teeth—and some of their glands if they don't like it."

Yue Chuan was silent again.

"Without teeth and glands, those Alphas may live worse than those at the bottom." Chi Ye didn't hear his abnormality, and sighed blindly, "A Yue, fortunately we will differentiate into Betas. He can't help it Hurt us." Just as the voice was falling, the man on the stage gently picked up the microphone, and the audio was on standby for a few seconds.

"Next, you will have a month-long military training. The content is confidential, but I can tell you a rule in advance." His voice is very pleasant, with an indescribable charm, "Here, in addition to killing The other party has no taboos."

"What the hell is he talking about?" It wasn't just Chi Ye who was shocked.The other children also became agitated following this instruction, obviously unable to accept this inexplicable rule.But Yue Chuan didn't notice anything, his mouth was dry and his eyes were fixed on the center of the storm.

The secretion of saliva accelerated, and the saliva was about to drip out along the gap between the teeth.At the moment when his steps almost moved, he seemed to have sensed something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he lowered his head covered in cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, a predator-like gaze swept over.

***

This time the prey was alert and unobtrusive.This is very good, this kind of hunting is the most interesting.

Wei Chen squinted his eyes in vain, the toe of his shoe was slightly tilted to the outside.The bodyguard guarding behind him took advantage of the situation and came forward to offer a cigarette, trying not to touch his chin and the corners of his mouth with his retracted fingers.

"Okay, gentlemen." The smoke slowly flowed out from the corners of his lips, he resisted the itching of his glands, and announced to everyone, "Next, let's use this game to guess who is the hidden one. Among you... outliers."
