Marriage application report? Are we going to get married now
Chengyue, who had been quiet all the time, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Aci,"
The cold and unfamiliar mechanical female voice made Jiang Ci stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw a porcelain-white earring on the table floating towards him.
"Hello, I'm Chengyue. The first owner was your mother, but after the control authority was transferred, my current owner is Cecilia."
"… Hello."
Jiang Ci knew it was Cheng Yue, his mother's mecha. Yesterday, because he suddenly found out about the pregnancy, he focused all his attention on Danzai and Huo Xianfeng, so he almost forgot about Cheng Yue's existence.
But Jiang Ci didn't know how to communicate with the other party because it was too unfamiliar. But Cheng Yue, as an AI, didn't feel awkward or embarrassed. It just wanted to ask,
"Are you just going to write the application report like this, and if it's approved, then you'll be married?"
"Um."
Jiang Ci nodded. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.
Chengyue couldn't quite understand Jiangci's behavior, because in its database, there was a fixed process for AO marriages, first pheromone matching, then blind dating, and generally the process of love was very short, because pheromones could quickly make both parties physiologically dependent. However, the so-called betrothal gifts and dowry customs still continue to this day. The marriage relationship between the two parties is still called marriage, and it is basically the alpha who proposes.
Bai Min's situation was special at the beginning, but during the relationship, it was Jiang Jinsheng who proposed to her.
"Don't you need any proposal or other ceremony?"
Jiang Ci felt that it was irrelevant. The marriage application report would be submitted sooner or later. They had already expressed their feelings to each other and started to nurture a new life together, so it was natural for them to get married. Moreover, he had seen some marriage proposals at the Omega Protection Association, and they didn't feel good. So he shook his head,
"No need. The purpose of those ceremonies is probably just to show some feelings and commitments."
Jiang Ci looked at Cheng Yue, a smile of satisfaction and happiness gradually spreading in her eyes.
"—I have received the most precious and sincere."
The light of Chengyue flickered, and the cold mechanical female voice seemed to suddenly have a little more warmth.
"Then I wish you a happy wedding."
"… "
Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, turned her head away a little embarrassedly, and coughed lightly.
“Thank… Thank you.”
But at this moment Jiang Ci suddenly remembered that Cheng Yue's control authority was voluntarily transferred to Cecilia by his mother, so -
"Cecilia, she is..."
As if guessing what Jiang Ci wanted to ask, Cheng Yue answered him directly.
"It was indeed Leah who informed the Pope of your parents' escape plan, but the latter seemed to have known about it before that. So Leah could only pretend to inform on the Pope in order to learn about the church's pursuit plan. The Saint is an omega with the best genes. Her mission is to combine with His Highness Huo Chao and give birth to offspring with the strongest genes for him."
"But Mercy fell in love with your father and later had you. The Pope was furious and ordered your mother to be injected with the stigmata. If the mother has the stigmata, the child cannot survive. This is why she was not injected with the stigmata before."
"So... Cecilia rescued me?"
Jiang Ci thought quickly
"Does the Pope know about this, too?"
Of course I know.
It was so obvious, but Cecilia had always stood on his mother's side and was willing to save both her and him at all costs. Why did the Pope keep her
There are two possibilities. Either Cecilia still has some important role to play, or Cecilia is firmly under the control of the Pope and poses no threat to him.
Jiang Ci felt that both possibilities were possible. He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked,
"Chengyue, does Cecilia have any other mission besides reinforcements when she comes to the military base this time?"
"When the Pope gives confidential missions, mechas cannot be brought in, and Leia cannot tell me."
The clear moon floated down and came closer.
"However, Leah knew in advance that the Eye of Holo would attack. According to my calculations, she has a 70% chance of escaping successfully."
Jiang Ci suddenly looked up.
She knew it, but she didn't run away! This means she was captured on purpose.
Was it the Pope's order? Or did Cecilia want to be captured herself
Jiang Ci suddenly stood up and walked out. Bai Ze quickly caught up with her.
"Aci, where are you going suddenly?"
"—to meet someone."
Bai Ze thought Jiang Ci was going to see Cecilia to get things clear, but unexpectedly, he went to find He Zhun.
"Major General Jiang Ci!"
There were two alpha soldiers guarding the door of the medical room.
"Um."
Jiang Ci nodded, was silent for a few seconds, and asked,
"how is he?"
"Very quiet and cooperative."
"Yes, thank you."
Jiang Ci opened the door and walked in, and saw He Zhun sitting on the bed. The man was reading a paper professional book, which was very new, or more precisely, it looked like it had just been printed. There were very few paper books in this era. However, the wounded under special control were not allowed to contact the outside world. So apart from medical equipment, no electronic products were provided.
However, the conditions in the medical room are very good, and there are even fruits by the bed.
Jiang Ci stared at the man quietly. He often saw He Zhun in the medical room, but he had never seen him lying on a hospital bed. After not seeing him for a few months, He Zhun had lost a lot of weight. The ordinary hospital gown looked empty on him. Some blue blood vessels could be vaguely seen under his pale skin.
At this time, He Zhun noticed Jiang Ci coming in and looked up.
"You came?"
"How are you?"
They both spoke at the same time, but the next second the room fell silent again.
After a while, He Zhun spoke first.
"Sit down, what do you want to ask?"
"… "
Jiang Ci came over and sat on the chair beside the bed.
"Why did you inject me with the so-called... 'Zhisu'?"
When He Zhun saw Jiang Ci really sit down, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. According to her temper in the past, she would not sit down. However, he did not show it, and even answered in a calm tone, as if he had expected Jiang Ci to ask such a question.
"Because only a forbidden item like the Zhimei Flower can lead you to Tiandong Star, and I also need you to bring Xiao X to the Forbidden Abyss. At the same time, your presence can also divert the attention of Ye Shu and Zhou Jiuya."
"so… "
Jiang Ci looked at him.
"You didn't consider my safety when you achieved these goals, did you?"
"… "
He Zhun had calculated the dangers of Jiang Ci going to Tiandong Star. He had already given Ye Shu a tip before Jiang Ci set out. Moreover, the Jiang family had planted many hidden lines on Tiandong Star. However, he had not expected Jiang Ci's plan to be so desperate. He also had not expected Huo Xianfeng to appear one step ahead of Ye Shu.
At that time, Huo Xianfeng intercepted all the approaching alphas, so Ye Shu was unable to arrive.
But He Zhun did not explain, he just said to Jiang Ci,
“There are a lot of people who will protect you.”
"so what?"
"Jiang Ci,"
He Zhun closed the book, his tone was exceptionally cold.
"Let's ask the important questions."
"… "
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, knowing that it was meaningless to continue arguing like this.
"Doctor Wen said that the Zhisu in my body has been metabolized, but to the Zerg, I still smell like Zhimei flowers."
He Zhun opened his eyes slightly wide and finally showed some shock.
"Zhisu... will not give you a floral scent. It is just an extract that cannot be absorbed by the human body and is harmless."
The two of them were stunned at the same time. This could only mean that the smell that the Zerg smelled was originally on Jiang Ci.
After a few seconds, Jiang Ci reacted first.
"…Okay, then I'll ask Dr. Wen to look into this matter again."
He Zhun lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Dr. Wen...
It was normal for Jiang Ci to ask Doctor Wen to check. After all, he was now a prisoner, a spy, and a specially-controlled wounded, so he really shouldn't be involved in such a confidential incident.
But he couldn't help but say,
"However, Dr. Wen is a military doctor by training, and his expertise is more inclined towards the treatment of various battlefield wounds and daily illnesses. If you want to get an accurate result as soon as possible, I personally suggest that you go back to Hengyun Star and find those professionals in the Capital Academy of Sciences to check it out."
"Oh, I see."
"I remember there was a guy called Wei Jun in the Academy of Sciences who was very good."
"… "
—That was He Zhun’s former rival.
Although he is extremely talented and has an amazing resume, he is an alpha with his eyes in the sky. He always makes trouble for He Zhun and ridicules him many times because of his beta gender. They are considered his mortal enemy.
He Zhun knew Jiang Ci did it on purpose, but he still choked up. He closed his eyes and calmed down.
"It's up to you who you want to find, but you came here today, probably to ask about Cecilia?"
"right."
Jiang Ci stopped at the point, he remembered the main thing,
"I want to know whether she was captured on purpose, or whether it was her own plan or the Pope's instruction."
He Zhun had said before that Cecilia could be an ally, which meant that he already had some understanding of the latter in the church.
"I do not know about this."
He Zhun shook his head.
"But Cecilia won't live long, so I personally think it's the latter."
"-What's the meaning?!"
Jiang Ci instantly became nervous. He saw He Zhun put the book aside, then slowly unbuttoned the collar of his hospital gown. Then, the golden stigma spread from his heart to his neck, and then to his side face.
"The stigmata need to be fed with the Zerg's neural fluid, but it also requires a variety of complex and precise proportions. If the concentration is too low, or if the neural fluid is not injected for a long time, it will die like your father... due to organ failure. Some time ago, I discovered that there was a problem with Cecilia's neural fluid ratio, and the concentration was abnormally high. Although I don't know what will happen if it is too high, it will definitely not be a good thing."
"The only person who has the authority to change the ratio is Bernard, the head of the Stigmata Research Institute. He is also called the 'Stigmata Breeder'. Bernard only takes orders from the Pope, so the matter regarding Cecilia should also be the Pope's intention."
He Zhun collected the holy mark and continued,
"The lives of all those who have been injected with the stigmata are firmly controlled by the Pope. And it is not just the neural fluid that controls the stigmata. The Pope can control the stigmata, of course, including Cecilia and me."
He Zhun discovered this when he saw the Pope locking the clone with the stigmata.
Jiang Ci found that his guess was correct.
"So, the Pope left Cecilia to be useful to him, and he controls Cecilia's life?"
"It can be said like this."
He Zhun nodded.
"But Jiang Ci, you'd better think about it. The two people who have the greatest hatred for the Pope and are the most threatening are Huo Xianfeng and the Emperor. Which one do you think the Pope can use Cecilia to attack?"
"… "
Just now, Huo Xianfeng was called away by Pei Changyun alone.
Jiang Ci suddenly felt his heart tighten, he stood up,
"You should take good care of your injuries. I have something else to do."
This means that he will be locked up for a while longer.
He Zhun called him: "Wait—"
Jiang Ci stopped but didn't look back. He heard He Zhun ask,
"Is Huo Chao's clone dead?"
"Yes, he was beheaded by His Majesty himself."
"… That's good."
He Zhun's tone slowed down, as if he had finally relaxed.
"But the body must be cleaned up, hair and blood, all the stuff must be cremated, or if you want to use it as experimental material for research, it's best to transport it..."
Jiang Ci turned back suddenly and asked expressionlessly,
"You called me and told me this?"
"… "
He Zhun was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips.
"Well... As your former personal doctor, I suggest that in the early stages of pregnancy, it is best to use some deep pheromone comfort in moderation."
"Then, regarding the solution to breast engorgement, medication may not be good for your body. Hot compresses and massage will be much more effective. As for massage techniques, I can record a video for him so he can learn."
This "he" definitely refers to Huo Xianfeng.
Jiang Ci: “…”
boom!
The door to the medical room closed.
He Zhun looked at the door for a few times, lowered his eyes, and said nothing. He just picked up the book on the bedside table and continued reading. The young man's usually cold and gloomy brows finally showed a little more warmth.
Pregnant omegas do emit different pheromones, but this is a military camp, and Jiang Ci used pheromone masking agent to avoid embarrassment. But for He Zhun, when you are familiar with a person's various little habits for a long time, it is easy to see the difference.
When Jiang Ci was upset with him, he would not sit. Moreover, Jiang Ci, who always sat in a completely military posture, would not subconsciously cover his lower abdomen with his hands. Not to mention, when an omega who had difficulty growing muscles suddenly had larger chest muscles, it was very telling.
"very nice… "
He Zhun looked out the window at the fighter planes cruising by.
"But it would be better if it were later."
"A little later..."
Now is wartime, perhaps it will be safer to wait until the Phantom Cult is completely eliminated and peace comes.
On the other side, Jiang Ci strode out of the door and walked back quickly.
Ever since He Zhun revealed her pregnancy, he felt like everyone in the world knew about it. He even felt that every soldier and officer he met by the way they looked at him had a special look in their eyes.
Doctor Wen had checked for so long but couldn't find anything, and even Huo Xianfeng had to use various methods to confirm it. But He Zhun could tell at a glance. He even saw that she had been deeply soothed by pheromones last night, and... breast engorgement.
How on earth can you tell this? ! ! !
"Bai Ze, are my pheromones exposed?"
"checking… "
Bai Ze replied: "No, after the pheromone masking agent was improved, the effect is very good. And the small amount that leaked out is also Huo Xianfeng's pheromone."
So if someone who doesn’t know Jiang Ci sees him, their first reaction would probably be to think of him as an alpha.
Then how did He Zhun know
Jiang Ci couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He now had to go see the Emperor and ask him about Cecilia.
Knock knock.
"Enter."
Jiang Ci walked into the conference room. All four people were there, including Ye Shu. But the atmosphere seemed a little heavy. He wanted to say something, after all, the emperor only called Huo Xianfeng and not him. Now it was official business, and Jiang Ci had to obey orders. He came uninvited and it was against the rules.
"Your Majesty, I..."
But before Jiang Ci could explain, the Emperor spoke up.
"You came?"
Pei Changyun nodded.
"-sit down."
"yes."
This was a round conference table, Jiang Ci subconsciously sat next to Huo Xianfeng, and turned her head to look at him. Wang still had a cold look on his face, and at this moment he was sitting on the chair with a majestic and domineering attitude.
But before Jiang Ci could say anything, she felt a warmth around her waist.
—It’s Huo Xianfeng’s tail that’s coming around.
Jiang Ci had a blank expression on his face. He reached out to grab the tip of the other party's wildly shaking tail. He tightened his fingers, leaned over, and said in a low voice,
"Huo Xianfeng, please restrain yourself."
"-not me."
Huo Xianfeng frowned.
"I told you, most of the time Tails has a mind of its own, you can't blame the bug."
Jiang Ci: “…”
This is someone else's fault.
"cough."
Zhou Jiuya on the opposite side coughed.
Jiang Ci's body stiffened, and she suddenly noticed that the table in this conference room was a glass screen, the kind that could project images, but when there was no picture, it was transparent.
So now everyone's eyes are focused on the tip of the tail that is shaking wildly in Jiang Ci's hand.
"… "
