HISO Chapter 65
by VolareChapter 65 Does He Miss Him Too?
“Boss, you really overestimate my abilities. How could I possibly control so many mercenaries?”
The town elder wanted to cry but had no tears. However, if it was just a matter of forcibly managing them for a few days, he could find a way. He hurriedly agreed, afraid that Xie Jinsheng would kill him with his knife.
…He only hoped that this boss would leave the town quickly.
Who knew that the man would tear up his train ticket right in front of him and say, “Is the mercenary squad still recruiting?”
Town elder: “…Huh?”
“Answering a question.”
“Recruiting, of course, recruiting!” Heavens, what a sin! This boss actually wanted to become a mercenary in town.
The town elder’s inner tears filled the Pacific Ocean.
He swore, truly, in all these years, he had never seen such a powerful Alpha.
If he didn’t look human, people would suspect he wasn’t even from Earth!
Xie Jinsheng took the mercenary certificate and left.
Following the faint jasmine scent in the air, he roughly confirmed the location and was about to head in that direction when he was suddenly interrupted by a weak grape pheromone.
“Thank you.” It was the Omega from earlier who had been in heat. He had already taken a suppressant and looked rather delicate, but there was a faint birthmark on his cheekbone.
It looked…
Xie Jinsheng hesitated for a few seconds.
No, it was more like the wood and vine-type Omega wearing a white veil in the underground city of the Old District.
They had similar birthmarks, even in roughly the same location. Could it be more than just a coincidence?
Xie Jinsheng had no interest in pondering human matters and withdrew his gaze.
The reason he had stopped just now was because he had noticed that the other party, or rather, the one from the underground city, had a momentary expression that was somewhat similar to Yu An’s.
But, in the end, they were different.
There would never be a second Yu An in this world. Similarly, he would never bow down to a second Omega.
The rescued Omega was still pale and weak, asking him, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
Several small Os nearby were also looking at him expectantly.
“No need, just stay away from me.”
Xie Jinsheng said before turning to leave.
Unexpectedly, several waves of Omega pheromones with scents of milk tea, coffee, and other beverages suddenly swept over, carrying flattery and deliberate seduction.
The temperature in the air suddenly dropped.
“I have a wife.” Xie Jinsheng’s expression was also cold. His dark eyes swept over them as he said, “Put away your pheromones, or you will suffer the same fate as the last person under my knife.”
His body didn’t even have the slightest reaction.
He was cold and unapproachable.
The Omegas who had attempted to seduce him immediately shivered, clearly realizing one thing—
They had been foolish just now. This powerful Alpha was definitely not someone that ordinary small Os like them could covet!
It was truly unimaginable what kind of Omega would be able to make such a man fall in love in the future.
“Ah-choo.”
Yu An suddenly sneezed.
Was someone talking about him behind his back?
Otherwise, why would his nose suddenly itch?
He paused for a few seconds, looked at the key in his palm, and sighed.
He had originally wanted to try to destroy it. After all, he was weak and helpless and might not be able to protect it, but 089 had told him that this thing was very special.
Before it was fully assembled, it wouldn’t release any special abilities.
It was no different from an ordinary key and was incredibly hard.
As expected, he had tinkered with it for a long time, smashing three hammers in the process, but it was no use. He gave up.
He should just follow the steps.
However, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he had seen the pattern on this key somewhere in the Space-Time Bureau. But because it was only a third of the whole, he wasn’t sure. He probably wouldn’t know until he collected the second key.
“089, remember to print out a map of the town.”
Yu An planned to get up early tomorrow to familiarize himself with the environment and then consider how to obtain the qualifications to go to the base.
Outside, the snow was falling even heavier.
Wrapped in a blanket, he finally remembered why he had felt so uncomfortable when he rented this place four hours ago.
It was because in a cultivation world, he had stayed in a shop where several taels of silver were stolen from him, causing him, an evil cannon fodder character, to not make it back in time to follow the plot.
This led to the Dragon Aotian male lead and the female supporting character getting married on the spot, consummating their relationship in one night, and even conceiving a child.
The female lead instantly became a background character, went to cultivate immortality, and became a female Aotian a hundred years later, even falling in love with her female disciple (who was also the daughter of the male lead and the female supporting character). The plot completely collapsed and exploded, shocking Yu An.
He was fined two months’ salary when he returned to the Space-Time Bureau.
The furnishings of that small shop were somewhat similar to this room.
The fear of being controlled by pickpockets, leading to mission failure, had returned.
So, he got up again and tinkered for a long time, not only locking his bag and key in the cabinet but also spraying a layer of fake Alpha perfume near the door.
After a while, Yu An seemed to have thought of something, picked up a paintbrush, and wrote a long passage of words.
Twenty minutes later.
089 leaned over to look, fell silent for a long time after seeing the abstract words, and then asked when it saw a comic: 【Host, is that Xie Jinsheng you drew…?】
“Yeah, I put him in the room to give me courage and ward off evil spirits.”
Although this wasn’t a cultivation world, just an apocalyptic world, drawing a talisman wouldn’t really work.
He was just doing it on a whim.
But a positive psychological suggestion might have miraculous effects.
【Host,】 089 commented, 【you better not let Xie Jinsheng see your stick figure drawing skills in your lifetime.】
He had drawn such a fierce Alpha as a skinny weakling!
An epic downgrade.
If the person himself found out, it was really scary to think that the host would be assassinated.
“Ah? It doesn’t look like him? I think it looks exactly the same.” Yu An paused for a few seconds and said, “Oh well, he won’t know anyway.”
Habit was a terrible thing.
He drew him on paper—although the drawing was somewhat different from the real person, putting it by his pillow was as if Xie Jinsheng was still by his side.
In this apocalyptic world, he didn’t need to be afraid.
After saying good night to each other, Yu An fell asleep, and 089 also curled up in its small bed to hibernate.
It could feel that the host’s mood wasn’t good.
But no matter what difficulties it encountered in the future, it would do its best to help the host!
However, in the middle of the night, there was a rustling sound near the window.
089 looked up, thinking it was the sound of icicles falling, not paying much attention. Who knew that it would catch sight of a tall, familiar black figure standing in front of its host’s bed!
It was Xie Jinsheng.
Why would he appear here in the middle of the night?!
089 nearly had its system soul scared out of its body.
Could it be that he was so angry that he wanted to run over and bully people?
Then its little pretty host’s virgin butt, which had been a virgin for a hundred years, might be in danger tonight!
It was about to scream when it suddenly remembered that Xie Jinsheng had some perverted attributes.
Every time the host was sleeping, the other party would do nothing but stare. And every time the host was awake, he would pin him against the wall and verbally threaten him…
It should first observe what Xie Jinsheng wanted to do before deciding whether to wake Yu An up or not.
The moonlight outside the window reflected the snow, falling dimly into the room.
Xie Jinsheng lowered his eyes, looking at the boy curled up in a ball, sleeping peacefully.
Earlier, he had left the valley a few hours earlier than him, but he hadn’t expected the outside to be covered in white snow.
But looking at the snow, he didn’t understand why he felt a surge of discomfort in his heart.
Especially when the red plums fell on the ground, blooming like blood. He frantically wanted to smell the jasmine scent.
But Yu An hadn’t come out, and he couldn’t find his way back.
It wasn’t until he waited outside for two days that he saw the Omega come out, and that was when he realized that Yu An hadn’t lied to him.
The flow of time was indeed mismatched. He hadn’t made him wait too long in the corridor.
It was a pity…
Xie Jinsheng raised his hand, wanting to touch him, but stopped abruptly, remembering something, and scoffed.
He had been unable to resist thinking about him these past few days.
But what about him?
Did he miss him too?
Or was he not concerned at all, sleeping so soundly, with every day in the future being so carefree?
Even if it was just raising a dog…
He should have some feelings after all these days, right?
The more Xie Jinsheng thought about it, the more he couldn’t help but pinch the boy’s soft, fair cheeks, until he winced in pain in his sleep before letting go.
Really, why was he arguing with a sleeping teenager?
Xie Jinsheng thought self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, he caught sight of a piece of paper pressed under Yu An’s pillow.
What was this?
