When Lu Qiu came out of the depilatory, the spaceship had stopped outside the stone castle.
Mastiff Eighteen provided a brand new towel.
Lu Qiu was rolled into a human flesh roll with a towel, only showing a pair of eyes, and was carried into the house by Wells in his arms.
"Brother, I'm going back first, I have to appease my brothers, call me if you need anything." Mastiff Shiba stood in front of the aircraft and did not enter the house.
Wells turned around and thanked him: "Thank you this time."
"We don't have to be so polite. See you in Qiuqiu."
Lu Qiu couldn't reach out, so he winked at him, and said in a muffled voice, "Goodbye, thank you."
Entering the room, the towel was untied, and Lu Qiu saw that the hair on his body began to fall off in a large area, and soon a piece fell on the ground.
Before long, there was nothing left where the depilator was in contact, and the skin was as smooth as ever, even better than before.
The only thing that is a little embarrassing is that the eyebrows, eyelashes, and even part of the nose hair are gone.
Now she looks like an alien.
Wells took her to the bathroom next to the kitchen, put her in for a second wash, and poked around in the cupboard for a long time to find a bottle of skin conditioner.
Lu Qiu asked suspiciously, "What is this, shower gel?"
"The skin care agent was sent by Langdon."
Rondon is often depilated, but not always with skin care products. He often sent some useless things, knowing that Wells wouldn't use them, he still sent them among other gifts.
Fortunately, his fault, now it is really used.
After confirming that his face and body were clean and that he was no longer in an ape state, Lu Qiu finally felt at ease.
"Hair, can the color on it be washed off?" Lu Qiu asked, pulling at his own hair.
The orangutan's hair is not long, not only bald, but also a bit mid-section. So now her hair is one of the common hairstyles for men, and she has been cut pitted, in short, ugly is one word.
If the color can't be washed off, she can only reluctantly use the depilatory again, turn bald and start again.
Wells glanced for a while, and said uncertainly, "I'll ask."
Landon has the most experience in this kind of thing.
Lang Dong replied to his message in seconds.
"Wash off the color? Yes, I also sent it to you. You can find it. There are all kinds of dyes, fixatives, and decolorants."
Wells: "…"
I really don't want to look carefully at what Lang Dong sends on weekdays.
Fortunately, Ruth hadn't thrown away much of the things Langdon sent him. After rummaging through the boxes for a while, he asked him to find a bottle of decolorizer.
After washing her hair, Wells touched Lu Qiu's head and carefully applied the growth agent to her.
"I also want the face, and the eyebrows. Wait, I'll make the eyebrows myself."
He closed his eyes and waited. Lu Qiu was not too worried about Wells' technique. He opened his eyes and looked in the mirror and carefully drew himself a slender eyebrow with the growth agent.
As an office worker, she is quite good at makeup.
I used the vegetable stem as a cotton swab and smeared a little on the eyelashes, but I accidentally smeared too much.
Lu Qiu quickly wiped off the excess, holding his chin and said, "I suspect that tomorrow I will either become Crayon Shin-chan or a camel."
Wells: "???" What is Crayon Shin-chan
After finishing the whole body, Lu Qiu finally washed his hands and took off the contact lenses.
She still remembered the fact that her terminal could not be used, and when she opened the terminal again, the interface was still blank.
He shook his arm and went to Wells to show him: "The terminal was damaged by those animals and can't be used. I always wanted to contact you."
After the hair fell off, you could see that there was a spot on her skin that was slightly reddish, which was half the size of her little fingernail. This was a fake mobile terminal. She pinched it with her fingers and it didn't come off, and it didn't seem unusual to the touch. It was amazing. .
Wells frowned, stretched out the tip of his claws, and digged on it very carefully for a while. After a while, the small terminal was removed.
However, because the claws were too sharp, Lu Qiu's arm was still scratched with blood.
Wells hurriedly asked the robot doctor to come up and give her medicine carefully.
After the fake terminal is removed, the covered area below is where the real terminal is implanted.
This time, it's a robot doctor to operate.
A very thin jammer was inserted into the real terminal.
Because it is too small, there is no blood when it is taken out.
After the terminal returned to normal, the message reminder popped out like crazy.
Both Wells and Modes sent her a lot of messages, especially Wells, who almost overwhelmed her message reminders.
She opened them one by one to check, and Wells grabbed her and turned off her terminal. He looked away a little uncomfortably and said, "Don't look now."
Lu Qiu blinked: "Huh? Well, don't look at it."
She changed clothes and sat on Wells to check the wounds on his body, which had completely healed, as were the claws.
She rolled up her sleeves and gave the giant cat a good bath.
By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already evening.
Lu Qiu lay on Wells' back, feeling exhausted, tired, hungry and sleepy.
Wells carried her to the kitchen downstairs, made rice and corn, boiled broth, and chopped fruit.
"Let's eat and go to sleep."
He slowly put Lu Qiu down and shook her gently.
Lu Qiu opened his eyes in a daze, attracted by the aroma of the food, picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of rice.
"Huh, it's still the best meal at home. It's so good."
Chewing the rice feels alive again.
Wells just lay down and watched her eat with a satisfied look on his face.
After Lu Qiu finished the big bowl of rice, he realized that Wells hadn't eaten. He ate a lot of food along the way in the desert, and later he was half full by those animals. Now he's just a little hungry.
"Look at what I'm doing. You haven't eaten for a day. Why did you only prepare mine? What about yours? What if you don't eat?"
She said, putting down the bowl and running to the food storage cabinet: "There should be food, isn't there any canned freeze-dried at home? I'll go and make one for you now."
"No, there is."
Wells hurriedly stopped her, brought some not-so-fresh food over, ate it slowly, and looked up at Lu Qiu after taking a bite.
Like that, I was afraid that she would suddenly disappear again, full of unease.
After Lu Qiu ate a bowl of rice and half a corn, he had time to ask what happened after he left.
"Russ is still in Riva Star, hasn't he come back?"
"He stayed to deal with some things."
"Did the animal that caught me caught it?"
Wells nodded: "Caught."
Lu Qiu also had something very puzzling: "At that time, I felt like I was dreaming, and I dreamed that a voice kept talking to me in my ear and asked me to move forward. I kept walking and walking in the dream, and finally When I opened my eyes, I found myself standing in front of a door. I thought I was sleepwalking, what is this, I was hypnotized? How?"
Wells flicked his tail, frowned and said, "There is a problem with the dinner, adding hallucinogenic mushrooms, different animals will have different reactions after eating them, hallucinations and lethargy will appear. You speak, and you can't help but follow along."
The echo bug is not a bug, but a super-mini machine that has been flying in and out against the carpet, so it was not caught by surveillance.
Lu Qiu was stunned and continued to ask: "Did you find out who ordered it? The Mastiff Eighteen said it was Oliver. Between you??"
She has only understood part of Wells's affairs so far, and there are many things she has never heard of him.
To say that the grievances between Wells and Oliver are actually a pile of trivial things. There is no real big contradiction.
Although Oliver is the second prince, he is not much older than Wells, not more than a year before and after.
Because there is also a very good prince, who was trained as the next throne reserve, Oliver has been compared with Longfellow since he was born.
Talking time is not as early as Longfellow, the result of Kaizhi test is not as good as Longfellow, and even the strength is much worse.
Oliver is a little inferior in his bones, and with such a brother around, he has always had a shadow in his heart.
Later, Wells was brought to the palace, and he found out that although Wells was very late in speaking and literacy, and even without the teacher's special instruction, his grades were actually very good, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and his talent was amazing.
Oliver felt very unwilling and angry.
Longfellow is better than him, but Wells' mother is just a beast without any intelligence, a child born of a low-level beast that can be used as food at any time, why is he better than himself.
He privately asked the animals to find Wells' stubble.
But it was just a small fight, and Wells could easily solve it.
Until later Oliver discovered her mother's secret.
After Wells was brought back, all the animals that his mother Hesel sent to take care of him were animals that were much more ruthless than him, and even opened his eyes.
It can still be done.
As Wells became bigger and stronger, Oliver hated him more deeply, and even concentrated all his hatred on him.
Wells felt very inexplicable, and there were always animals coming to challenge him or framing him. Oliver didn't do these things himself. He trained many subordinates to do some shameful things for him.
Wells had difficulty seeing Felix at first because Hessel stopped him, and then Oliver intervened.
After realizing this, Wells found an opportunity to confront him.
The two of them had a fight that night.
Oliver suffered a disastrous defeat, and he was beaten to the point of being deformed, swollen from a cat to a pig.
From then on, the beam was completely settled, and Wells had to beware of animals shooting arrows behind his back every day when he went out.
The situation continued until he left the palace for the giant rock star. After knowing that he would never return to the capital star and would never pose any threat to himself, Oliver let go completely.
Wells can't say that he hates Oliver, but he sometimes thinks that he is very sad. He obviously has everything, his parents' status, power and money, but his life is as dark and twisted as a blind bug.
Wells briefly talked about the past between them and said: "Burren, the lord of the neighboring territory bordering the Falling Star Forest, his father and grandfather both supported the faction of the second prince. I collected their criminal evidence in private and handed it over to me. Longfellow, the fall of the Burren family two days ago is equivalent to breaking Oliver's arm. He should be here for this matter. Sorry, you are involved."
In the past, Wells wouldn't have said this to Lu Qiu, at most he would have said it, but now he feels that there is nothing he can't say to Lu Qiu.
"So that's what it is." Lu Qiu was stunned and rubbed his paws, "You don't have to feel guilty about me, just stick to what you want to do. Nothing happened now, I'm still lucky. It’s quite high, and even if we encounter it again next time, it will definitely save it from danger.”
Wells tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then caught the point of her words: "People?"
This word sounds a bit unfamiliar.
Lu Qiu suddenly got stuck and said it out of habit.
There is no one in this world, and she is the unique existence, how to explain it, can you tell Wells
In fact, it doesn't matter if you say it. After all, this is Wells. Even if you know it, there is no problem.
She took a breath and said, "That's right, it's my race. I'm not a monkey, nor an orangutan, but a human. I don't know what to say here."
After thinking about it, she didn't find any similar words, so she described it carefully.
Wells was shocked. people
Although there is no detailed data record, but the Yan Beast Empire has always had legends about people circulating, just like the myths and stories passed down orally by humans in the past.
The legendary human beings have been covered with mysterious colors for a long time.
Human beings are unimaginably smart, they are not only smart but also powerful.
But, Lu Qiu, is he human
Wells stared at her unblinkingly with round eyes, and didn't say a word for a long time.
He believed Lu Qiu's words without much doubt.
Otherwise, why did she suddenly appear so strangely, and she couldn't find out the calendar.
"Where are you from? Before the Falling Star Forest, where were you?"
He was always afraid that Lu Qiu would suddenly disappear just like when he suddenly appeared.
This time the shocked person was Lu Qiu. It never occurred to her that this was the first question Welles asked.
"what do you know?"
"I can't find your origin."
Lu Qiu suppressed the scream in his heart, but of course he couldn't find it. She came from across the country, so how could she find it.
One person and one cat looked at each other for a while.
Lu Qiu swallowed nervously.
She changed the subject first: "Do you know people?"
She speaks quickly, but she still doesn't know much. Lu Qiu doesn't know there are legends about people in this world, but just listening to Wells' tone, she clearly didn't get entangled in the matter of people. Instead, she immediately asked her where she came from. Come.
Wells nodded: "Since thousands of years ago, there have been legends about people. Every intelligent animal has a special gene in its body. According to speculation, this gene is from human beings. The more genes it has, the more intelligent it is. The greater the chance, the smarter you will be.”
Lu Qiu was shocked again. She had some guesses when she saw the ring before, but now this guess has been confirmed.
It is true that humans have crossed over.
Just, why do most animals have human genes in them? Could it be that senior he? ? ? Is this senior too unscrupulous and a little too heavy? But why is there no reproductive isolation? This is so unscientific.
Trying to shake the yellow in his head, Lu Qiu asked, "Have humanity gone extinct? Why?"
"It's not very clear, there is no record. The civilization of the empire once failed, and many materials were lost. The cause of human extinction has not been recorded."
Lu Qiu felt very regretful, but at the same time a little happy.
Knowing that there were human beings who lived in this world like her, and it was passed down as a myth, was very proud.
Wells continued to stare at her.
Knowing that he was waiting for her to answer the previous question, Lu Qiu stroked her hair, which had started to grow a little longer, smiled at him coquettishly, hugged his front paws and rubbed his face: "About where do I come from? Come on, it's a long story, why don't you talk about it next time?"
"Are you going back?" Wells' eyes darkened, and the paw pads were softly pressed against her cheeks. "Go back to your world."
Lu Qiu nodded: "Of course I want to go back, but..."
But before he finished speaking, the man was suddenly knocked over by the giant cat.
Wells' claws pressed lightly on her body, still staring at her with dark red eyes.
His voice was soft but dangerous: "You want to go back? Do you want to leave me?"
Lu Qiu blinked, feeling that Wells was a little scary like this.
The moment he saw Lu Qiu, Wells's boiling emotions calmed down a lot, except that he was a little clingy, and returned to his previous appearance.
At least that's what it looks like.
But in fact Wells is very uneasy now, very uneasy, even if Lu Qiu is already by his side, he has been afraid that she will leave again and disappear from his side again.
After confirming that Lu Qiu might not exist in this world, his anxiety reached its peak.
The dark red pupils turned bright red, and Wells made a low roar in his throat, the kind of low roar when threatening other animals, the hair on his body was completely exploded, the sharp teeth were approaching her little by little, and his expression was fierce. , as if to bite her neck directly, so that she will never be able to leave.
"Are you leaving me?" he asked again.
Lu Qiu felt distressed and wanted to sigh.
She didn't finish her words, and there was obviously a but after that sentence.
"What I want to say is that after meeting you, I have no idea of going back."
She was not afraid of Wells like this at all, and even took the initiative to raise her hand to hug him.
"I'm really not from this world. But I can't go back, and there's no way I can go back. I have nothing now, no past, no family, no friends. Only you."
"I only have you."
Wells' claws on her neck suddenly loosened, his pupils shrunk to the extreme, turning into a thin line, and his body froze completely.
But Lu Qiu had already fully embraced her with his arms, his ears were pressed against his heart, and he heard the sound of his heart beating against his eardrums.
"So, as long as you don't abandon me, I'll never leave you."
Wells raised his claws and hugged her tightly, murmuring, "No, never."
Wells felt that Lu Qiu was like a ray of light, no matter what kind of hole there was in her heart, she could sew her up perfectly, and then stuff all the sunlight into it. Make him feel warm and content.
After hugging for a while, Lu Qiu took the initiative to get up. She didn't find the chain at home. She got into the closet and pulled out a long tie. One end of the tie was tied to her own, and the other end was tied to Wells' paw.
"I tied a dead knot, this end is in your hand, as long as you don't let go, I won't get lost."
Wells looked at the tie on his wrist, raised his paw and pulled it, and Lu Qiu returned to his embrace with strength.
He hummed, and hugged Lu Qiu and lay back in the familiar cabin.
A small light was turned on on the wall, and the orange light illuminated the room warm and cosy.
Lu Qiu dazedly patted the giant cat on the back and put him to sleep. Wells had been tense since last night, and it would be a little exhausting to relax.
The terminal message was sent at this time, it was Modes.
"Brother, the father invites you and Qiuqiu to come to the capital star."
The moment he saw the news, Wells sat up abruptly and read the news over and over several times.
"Is it his own idea?"
The day Wells left the Capital Star, he was asked not to go back again.
He suspected it was Modes' request, not Felix's idea.
But Modes gave him an affirmative answer: "Yes, it is the request of the king. You wait, he will inform you in person, I just let you know in advance."
Sure enough, every two minutes, Felix himself made a video call.
An incomparably majestic giant cat projection appeared in front of him. He was very tall, at least more than six meters. He had short hair all over his body, and the fur pattern was somewhat like a saber-toothed tiger. A pair of eyes similar to Wells, both amber.
That's about the only similarity between them.
"Wells, long time no see." After saying hello, Felix turned his head to look at Lu Qiu, whose back was upright unconsciously, with a gentle attitude, "You are Qiuqiu, hello."
Lu Qiu showed a nervous smile: "Hi, Your Majesty, hello."
Why did you suddenly see your parents? She wasn't ready yet.
"What's the matter with you inviting us to the Capital Star?" Wells asked directly without any thoughts of reminiscing.
Felix nodded and didn't say much: "There are some things, I will talk about it when you come over to meet."
He was about to hang up the video with just those words. Before hanging up, he glanced at Lu Qiu again.
Wells's good mood just now was completely ruined by this call.
Originally, he was also planning to go to the Capital Star tomorrow, but not to see Felix, but to Oliver.
But now, he actually has some bad feelings again.
Lu Qiu immediately noticed his anxiety: "What's the matter, don't want to go? Can I refuse?"
Wells shook his head: "It's not this, even if you don't see him, you have to go to the Capital Star."
He bought a spaceship ticket for tomorrow morning. Although the distance to the capital star is farther than that of Riva star, the actual sailing distance is faster to the capital star.
Back at Wells' side, Lu Qiu slept very well that night, but Wells tossed and turned again, more nervous than before.
The rope made of the tie hadn't been untied, it was held in his claws all the time. After waking up, he pulled it as soon as possible to make sure that Lu Qiu was still by his side, and then he lay down at ease.
After being awakened twice, Lu Qiu rolled over and hugged him in a daze, whispering softly, "Good boy, go to sleep."
The next morning, Lu Qiu was woken up by the hair hitting his face.
She touched it and found that the hair had grown under her ears overnight.
However, the effect is so good on the first day, and the growth rate will gradually return to normal after that.
But this was enough to make Lu Qiu happy.
The newly grown hair is of good quality, not damaged, and still black and bright.
Lu Qiu quickly got up and looked at himself using the terminal as a mirror.
The eyebrows are a bit long, like the white-brow heroes, but they can be trimmed. It's not a big problem, but the eyelashes are really long and dense like camels, as if they come with false eyelashes, which are very charming.
In a good mood, she tied her hair a little on the top of her head, and after having breakfast with Wells, went to the spaceship port again.
For some reason, unlike Wells' anxiety, Lu Qiu had some inexplicable anticipation and excitement.
I always feel that there will be some unexpected surprises.
