I Come from Afar Within the Zerg

Chapter 198: Banquet (medium)

Views:

Nalanda helped You Que walk towards his room. When they passed the first room at the corner of the corridor, You Que deliberately glanced at the door: "Isn't this room a lounge?"

Nalanda was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this is my elder brother Bei Owen's room. Since he passed away, my father has sealed it up."

Bei Owen died? How did he die? Didn't he die at the hands of Sanya? No wonder Nalanda was so embarrassed.

"I see."

You Que glanced at the combination lock on the door and didn't ask any more questions.

Nalando's bedroom happened to be next door. He used his fingerprint to open the combination lock and helped You Que sit on the sofa. The door automatically closed with a click because it was elastic, and suddenly there were only the two of them left in the luxuriously decorated bedroom.

Nalanda leaned forward and half-knelt at Youque's feet, as if he wanted to see his injury, but the male insect retracted his legs and changed the subject: "Is there any water here? I'm thirsty."

Nalanduo glanced at Youque with a frown and said, "We have wine and tea. What would you like to drink?"

You Que: "Whatever you like."

Nalando shook his wine glass, and couldn't help feeling a little more complacent when he remembered his father's instructions that he must make this male insect completely bewitched.

So what if he is a pure-blooded crown? As long as he beckons his finger, he will come closer. How can Sanya's broken body compare with his

You Que stretched out his hand to support the edge of the table, and swapped the two glasses of wine without leaving any trace, so quickly that people couldn't see how he did it. "Nothing, I saw that you haven't come back for so long, so I came to help."

You Que sat quietly on the sofa. He flipped his wrist, picked up the empty wine glass on the table, tilted it over and shook it: "I'm going to ask you this question. What did you put in the wine?"

You Que tried to push the door and found it was blocked by the lock. He took off his tie clip, inserted a long flat needle hidden inside into the keyhole, turned it left and right for a few moments, and the balcony door opened with a click.

Nalanduo had no choice but to get up from the ground, open the low-temperature wine cabinet and take out a bottle of wine. He turned his back to You Que, blocking his sight with his body, and flicked his fingertips, and a small blue pill fell silently into the goblet, and was instantly submerged in the wine.

Yafe crawled to Youque's feet with a red face, tugged at his trouser legs and begged anxiously: "Your Majesty... I feel so uncomfortable... Please help me..."

You Que said nothing, but just clinked glasses with him and drank the wine in the glasses together.

Nalanda was startled when he heard this. He turned to look at Youque, but found that the male insect had stood behind him without him noticing. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. He subconsciously stepped back and leaned against the table: "Your Majesty, how did you get here..."

You Que estimated that he would be dizzy for a while, so he opened the window and walked to the outer balcony, next to which was Beowen's room. You Que took two steps back and took a running start, then jumped neatly to the opposite balcony. When he landed, there was a slight sound, but it did not alarm any insects.

Nalanda didn't notice Youque's little move at all. Hearing this, he turned around, picked up two glasses of wine, handed the glass in his right hand to him, and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, don't be so anxious. Tonight is a long night, enough for you to drink slowly."

Female insects can be teased appropriately, but they still need to maintain their reserve, so Nalanda did not do anything overly extraordinary next, but waited quietly for the male insect's medicine to take effect.

You Que originally thought that Nalando had used a drug that made him feel like aphrodisiac, but he didn't expect it was an aphrodisiac. He could only lean over and knock the other person unconscious with a single blow. Nalando was a sub-female, and not as strong as a female insect. He groaned and soon lost all reaction.

Nalanda was both ashamed and annoyed, but as the drug took effect, his consciousness gradually became blurred. He fell to the ground, unconscious, and tore off his clothes in unbearable pain.

He originally thought that Nalanda was a female insect with just a little cleverness. Now it seems that she is indeed just a little clever. Youque had not used the method of drugging eight hundred years ago, but the other party still took him as a fool. Or, in their eyes, all male insects are sex-hungry ghosts

"you!"

You Que was a pure-blooded male insect after all, so Nalanda couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When he got closer, he could even smell the faint pheromone on the other party, which caused him to have some emotional reactions.

However, as time passed, not only did Youque not react at all, but a strange heat suddenly surged in Nalanduo's body, and his exposed skin instantly turned red as if it had been scalded.

After he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and took a step back to distance themselves from each other which was too ambiguous.

It’s okay, the skills are not lost.

Nalanda's legs went limp and he fell to the ground uncontrollably. He looked at You Que with rapid breathing, surprised: "How could this happen... What did you do to me..."

You Que saw that Nalanda was pouring the wine for a long time, so he stood up and walked behind him, and suddenly asked, "Why is it taking so long?"

You Que put his tie clip back in place and walked into the dark bedroom. He was worried that turning on the light would attract attention, so he turned on the terminal lighting function on his wrist and used the bright light to look around.

The light and shadow wandered in the air, slowly passing over the smooth floor, exquisite furniture, and finally stopped on a picture on the wall.

You Que stared at the black and white photo, and felt that the male insect on it was sinister. He walked over to take down the photo frame, and slowly groped on the wall with his fingertips, finally touching a bulge, and then pressed hard -

“Crack!”

A barely perceptible sound was heard, and a crack suddenly appeared on the originally flat wall, which slowly opened from the middle to both sides, revealing the dark secret room inside. A smell of dust and decay wafted in the face, making people frown subconsciously.

You Que placed the photo frame on the table, used the terminal lighting, and walked in carefully. He walked through the shelves filled with countless valuable collections, his footsteps echoing as he landed, and finally found a horizontal table in front of him.

You Que remembered that Eggers said the mechanism of the second secret room was under the table, so he leaned over and crawled under the table. He fumbled around inch by inch, not knowing what he pressed. He only heard a slight "di liu" sound, and suddenly a small password display screen lit up under the table, with a line of words written on it -

[Please enter your password or fingerprint]

You Que frowned when he saw this. He took off the terminal on his wrist and illuminated the keyboard from the side. Suddenly, even the dust could be seen clearly.

This secret room was built in the inner room. When he walked over just now, You Que found that all the collections on the shelves were covered with dust. They had not been cleaned for a long time, even the display screen was no exception.

But I don’t know if it’s because there were bugs here in the recent period, but the numbers 6, 3, 2, 7, and 1 on the numeric keypad obviously have less floating dust.

But the password has six digits.

You Que stared at those numbers, his fingertips hesitant a little. Normally, one only had three chances to enter the password. If he was unlucky, the alarm might be triggered in one try. Moreover, these five numbers might be repeated. He was afraid that he would not be able to finish trying until dark.

You Que was not afraid of triggering the alarm. He wanted to lead all the guests to this secret room, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find the wings that were taken from Sanya and alert the enemy in vain. 6, 3, 2, 7, 1…

6, 3, 2, 7, 1…

You Que stared at these numbers, feeling vaguely familiar. He remembered something and opened the terminal to search for the files on Beiowen's death. He then checked the birth dates and ages of their family members one by one.

The birthday is wrong and the age is wrong.

You Que's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to come to the Maren family to inquire next time. He switched the screen and was about to ask Eggers to find a way to find out. However, when he exited, he glanced at the autopsy report at the bottom of the file. There was only a short paragraph on it -

The body has been destroyed and it is impossible to obtain evidence. According to the confession of the murderer, the time of death of the deceased was approximately 9 o'clock in the evening on January 7, 2763. This is for reference only and cannot be verified.

When You Que saw this, a dark light flashed in his eyes. It turned out that the password was not Bei Owen's birthday, but his death anniversary. You Que checked it carefully again, and after confirming that it was correct, he carefully entered the numbers 276317 in order.

[drop!]

[Password is correct]

As these words popped up on the screen, the floor tiles behind You Que suddenly shook. Four tiles suddenly sank and disappeared, revealing a long staircase leading directly underground. The entrance was deep and could only accommodate one person.

Seeing this, You Que stood up from under the table, lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked down. He saw that there seemed to be an even smaller secret room inside, so he walked down the stairs carefully.

The corners of the secret room below were inlaid with lighting tubes, but the light was dim green, which inevitably made people feel eerie. A pungent smell filled the air, very much like preservatives.

You Que covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, having an inexplicable ominous premonition. He walked down the stairs and saw several rows of display racks inside. On the racks were many glass jars of different sizes, glowing green under the light.

You Que thought they were vases at first, but when he got closer he discovered that there were "things" in these glass jars, either a floating mass of hair-like objects, or a rare and exotic beast with golden scales all over its body that was born not long ago, and all kinds of strange things.

You Que's pupils contracted when he saw this. He never expected that the bottles would contain this kind of stuff. He just felt as if a chill was spreading rapidly on his back, and even the smell of preservatives in the air made him feel like the stench of a corpse.

Beiowen is a complete pervert. His pursuit of "collection" has reached a pathological level. At first, his collection was just ordinary antique paintings and rare gems, but later it gradually "expanded".

He began to be dissatisfied with this.

He began to pay attention to some more taboo and rare collections...

For example, a young Galluz covered with golden scales, a female insect with golden hair as smooth as silk, the hands of a most skillful craftsman, or a pair of the most beautiful wings in the world...

You Que looked around and was shocked. He quickly searched for the pair of wings belonging to Sanya among these collections, but found nothing. Finally, he found a few heavy silver boxes on the shelf at the back.

You Que randomly pulled out a box and found that it had a combination lock. He wanted to enter the password again, but he felt that it was impossible to use the same password twice, and he was in a dilemma.

What's in this box

What does the password mean

You Que squatted on the ground, thinking hard, and didn't notice that a black figure appeared behind him. The other party was obviously very skilled, and his footsteps were as light as if there was nothing. When he walked behind You Que, he slowly stopped and looked at him quietly in the darkness.

"… "

You Que glanced at a black shadow that appeared on the ground at some point, and keenly noticed something was wrong. He quietly grasped the micro-light energy gun hidden in his coat pocket, and pulled the trigger with his fingertips. When the black shadow gradually grew larger and approached, he turned around without warning and drew his gun to press against the opponent's waist and abdomen, his voice cold and sharp -

"stop!"

The other party paused when he heard this, and indeed stopped. He could have dodged just now, but for some reason he did not move. Instead, he flicked the gun barrel with his fingers in the dark and said with interest:

"Are you destroying the bridge?"

Hearing this familiar voice, You Que's face changed. He saw the insect he had pointed his gun at slowly leaned forward and squatted down, raised his hand and took off the hat used to cover his face. A beautiful face suddenly appeared in the green light and shadow, looking seductive and ghostly. It was Sanya:

"You took this gun from me."

You Que saw this and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes: "Why are you here?!"

Didn’t he tell Sanya to stay at home

After Sanya took off his hat, his silver-gray hair fell down, but it was not as long as usual, but trimmed into a neat short hair. He didn't say anything, but lowered his head to check the surroundings of the box. He saw an English character engraved on the upper right corner, and slowly turned the code wheel, and asked back: "If I don't follow you, how are you going to decipher these codes?"

You Que was about to ask if you knew the password, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a light click, and the box in Sangya's hand opened. A burst of cold mist blew out, and a pair of silver wings appeared inside, as if they were made of ice and snow, extremely beautiful.

There was a moment of silence in the air...

Sang Ya gently turned the box and faced You Que: "These boxes contain the wings cut off by Beowin. He likes to mark them. The password is the date when the wings of those female insects were cut off. Roy is engraved on the upper right corner of the box... If I remember correctly, the day when the wings of this female insect were cut off was May 6, 2760."

It was the first time that You Que saw the wings of a southern female insect, but in this environment, he was in no mood to appreciate such beauty. Instead, he felt that it was more horrible than being torn into pieces. He frowned and asked, "How did you know?"

Sanya shrugged slightly. "When I captured Beowyn, I interrogated him. Later I found out that I was not the only female insect whose wings were cut off. The rest were either B-level or C-level. They died from excessive blood loss after their wings were cut off and were recorded as missing insects."

You Que was silent for a moment: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sanya raised her eyebrows lightly: "My dear Lord, you never told me that you came to the banquet today to find Wings."

You Que felt that this female insect was really disobedient, and his teeth clenched a little: "Your face is too easy to recognize. What if Ma Lun finds you..."

"Hush."

Sanya put her index finger to her lips, interrupting him and said meaningfully: "It's not my intention to come here today. Maren specially 'invited' me to come here."

You Que was stunned.
