Two hours later, Lin Xi was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping on the makeshift treatment bed in the medical room, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand (Bryce also insisted this time that this was his last stock), warm and bright lights and close at hand. Bryce finally stopped his racing heart, and the safe and calm scene in front of him even made him feel like he was in another world.
The attack caused by the monster attracted many people, and the monster suddenly disappeared without a trace in the boat. The power was quickly restored, but Lin Xi's room was already in a mess. He didn't think too much when he aimed at the terrifying monster and shot at it. The living cabin of the Helios was originally designed. I never thought that someone would hold an electronic pulse gun indoors and pull the trigger like crazy. Perhaps the only thing that made Lin Xi happy was that the few dying star butterfly eggs were intact.
But... this is not something particularly joyful. Lin Xi shuddered involuntarily when she thought of the face of the half-human, half-insect monster she had seen before. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to develop love for bugs in a short period of time... He thought so.
After receiving the news, Bryce quickly brought Lin Xi to the treatment room. Alyssa was leading others to investigate the whereabouts of the terrifying monster—such a terrifying thing suddenly appeared inside the Helios, and the faces of those who heard Lin Xi's narration instantly turned pale.
Lin Xi hoped that those people could find the movement of that thing quickly, otherwise he suspected that his brother, who had a tendency to be overly anxious, might not be able to sleep for a long time.
"Oh, Lin Xi, please, don't look at me and show that expression..."
Bryce, who was busy at first, seemed to feel Lin Xi's gaze. He turned around, and when he saw Lin Xi, he showed an expression as if he had a toothache.
"You look like a wounded and scared puppy right now. But, with all due respect, you're really lucky this time. You don't even have a scratch... at least not on me. Don't look that pitiful anymore."
Bryce said angrily. If he hadn't come over and nervously checked the physiological data monitoring patches attached to Lin Xi's body with a worried look on his face, what he said might have been more convincing.
He claimed that Lin Xi was frightened during that nightmarish external attack, but in Lin Xi's view, the person who was really frightened was Bryce, and at this moment he was using his own way to calm down. .
This made Lin Xi feel a little sorry deep in his heart. Sometimes he seemed to worry Bryce too much.
"I'm sorry." Lin Xi murmured.
"Shut up."
Bryce interrupted him brusquely.
However, after pretending to be busy at work for a while, Bryce silently sat next to Lin Xi. He stared at his brother's pale face, and then lowered his voice.
"Is that a half-human, half-worm monster? Like Liz Chen's child?"
Bryce asked a little confused.
Although he had tried his best to pretend to be calm, Lin Xi could still clearly feel that Bryce really cared about the monster that attacked him.
"That's right..."
Lin Xi said reluctantly.
"So Professor Ando missed one when he killed his children? Or... a monster broke the covenant and broke into the spaceship? No, none of this makes sense. The only half-human, half-insect monsters are humans and Sonu. Only human hybrids can be born, but Liz is already dead, and Ando is still lying in the confinement room as a living dead. Where did this monster come from? Why did he attack you again... "
Bryce mumbled a little frantically.
"I also want to know the answers to the questions you asked."
Lin Xiqiang said with a smile.
"Maybe I can give you an answer—"
A hoarse female voice, weakened by excessive exhaustion, came from behind the two brothers.
Lin Xi and Bryce were both startled. When they turned around, they realized that Alyssa had arrived next to them at some point. Alyssa had been rubbing her temples painfully due to lack of sleep.
"One good news and one bad news—"
"Don't be pretentious, dear, just tell us the answer directly. What happened? What attacked Lin Xi?"
Bryce couldn't help but ask.
"Well, we didn't find that kind of disgusting monster that looked extremely scary - in general, Dr. Anten was very decisive when killing his children." Alyssa shrugged and said, then she looked Turning to Lin Xi, "We checked the blood stains in your room. The blood stains belong to humans."
"Humanity?"
Lin Xi frowned.
"No—I saw it with my own eyes, what that monster looked like—"
"Sam."
Alyssa directly gave a name.
"Do you remember the name? Sam."
All Lin Xi's sounds were stuck in his throat in an instant.
How could he not remember? The madman-like mercenary was still looking for trouble for him one second, and the next second he beat his companions to almost death with a frightening madness. Then, he was inside the Helios again. To create such a horrific tragedy.
Alyssa looked at Lin Xi's suddenly pale face, and she let out a long sigh.
"We've been looking for that guy... but to be honest, I didn't expect that madman to actually have the guts to come back to the ship. All the blood stains left in your room are Sam's. We are distributing power. Some of his DNA was also found on the wires in the cabin. Although I have no idea what he was thinking, but... I think he touched your cabin this time to vent his anger or revenge? "
"No, that can't be Sam, those saliva... that monster's saliva can even corrode the control panel next to my cabin door!"
Lin Xi retorted subconsciously.
He still remembers the scene that flashed into his eyes at the speed of light of the pulse gun.
Such an extremely terrifying face, and that huge, deformed body.
Even the most terrifying monster in the world couldn't have that kind of appearance, let alone the saliva that almost drove him crazy, and the feeling when the sticky liquid dripped on his shoulders. Lin Xi doubted that he would forget it for the rest of his life. Don't fall off.
At the mention of the saliva, Alyssa's face wrinkled up, and she showed a disgusted expression.
"Ah, saliva, yes, our technicians checked the mucus, and now I can tell you the disgusting fact, that mucus is all Sam's saliva - although we don't know why he has so much saliva, and Keep spitting on you. But the data is unmistakable. As for the corroded electronic components you mentioned, Sam must have planned in advance how to destroy your door. He took the acid with him, and then... everything was simple. You just woke up from a dream, which might still be a nightmare, and then you saw that bastard Sam, who might also be wearing some kind of mask to intimidate you. "Alyssa said, she paused for a moment, and then looked at Bryce, "I really hate to say this, but I still want to say it... Lin Xi, I don't mean anything else, but in my opinion, since you After that accident, your mental state was very bad. You probably saw it wrong."
Alyssa’s tone was calm and gentle.
Under such a narrative, even Lin Xi himself became a little uncertain.
His room was indeed dark at the time. Maybe he really saw something wrong
Lin Xi thought.
But whenever he tried to recall the scene he saw, he would still shudder deep in his soul because of the monster's appearance.
That huge insect body and that abnormal skin...
Suddenly, a vague idea passed through Lin Xi's mind.
Lin Xi's hand trembled slightly, and the liquid in the cup suddenly rippled.
It suddenly occurred to him that on this ship, the huge and particularly ferocious "monster" actually had a ready-made one - the star butterfly that was supposed to undergo transformation in the pupa shell, his "number one".
Lin Xi shuddered suddenly, and he almost subconsciously denied the vague guess at the first time. This is so ridiculous. "No. 1" has always been in its own pupa shell, and it is a star butterfly. There is no way a star butterfly can turn into that kind of half-human, half-insect monster...
However, no matter how many reasons can be listed intellectually to explain the absurdity of that guess, Lin Xi's soul itself has been sending out uneasy warnings.
The bug face that the monster showed back then seemed to have red eyes too
And the human glance it glanced at Lin Xi when it left was also...
Facing the already tired Alyssa and the worried Bryce, Lin Xi finally had to force herself to accept that Sam was the monster.
However, after Alyssa and Bryce left, Lin Xi's expression suddenly tightened.
He quietly slipped out of the medical room and walked directly to his greenhouse without hesitation.
