Chapter 86: The Zerg 20 “Amoris, you’re wearing my clothes…”

“You’re back.”

Amoris put down the towel in his hand and greeted Arnold, who had just returned. But for some reason, even though it had only been a day, there seemed to be a strange distance between them.

Arnold also didn’t expect to see Amoris coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower as soon as he returned. He hadn’t figured out how to face Amoris, how to face everything between them.

Moreover, everything that happened at Catherine’s Club tonight was giving him a headache. When he returned to the military headquarters tomorrow morning, he would definitely be swamped with work.

Although he was only a guard for the Third Prince, this matter did happen under his nose, and once he got involved, it wouldn’t be easy to get away.

He also wondered who that female Zerg who assassinated Baron Albert was. He remembered kicking the other party’s calf when he fought her. He knew his own strength very well. Although it wouldn’t cause a fracture, there would definitely be bruising.

He could have someone pay more attention to this. Arnold thought to himself, then edited a few messages and sent them to Erwin.

Baron Albert was a rising star in front of His Majesty recently. If something went wrong at this critical moment, he was afraid that…

Sigh. In an instant, Arnold felt as if he had a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders.

He tried to drive these troubles out of his mind and then looked at Amoris again.

Because his golden hair was wet, the color was a little darker than usual, and strands of it hung down on his scalp.

Amoris didn’t like using a hair dryer. He found the sound too noisy, so he usually let his hair air dry naturally. Fortunately, his hair wasn’t as long as Arnold’s; otherwise, it would probably take several hours to dry completely.

And Arnold always reminded him that it wasn’t good to have wet hair for a long time. But the beautiful sub-male didn’t care about these things.

Sometimes Amoris couldn’t stand Arnold’s constant nagging in his ear, so he would obediently listen and grab a towel to dry his hair.

But more often, Amoris would lie on the sofa like a spoiled child and pretend not to hear.

Arnold would always be the one who couldn’t stand it and dried his hair for him, while Amoris would just sit back and relax.

So now Arnold subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to dry his hair for him as usual.

But just as his fingers were about to touch the towel, it was taken away by its owner.

“No need,” Amoris said. The next second, he seemed to feel that these three words were too stiff, as if they seemed very cold, so he quickly added, “My hair is almost dry. The rest will dry naturally.”

“I’m a little hot, so I’ll go back to my room first.”

As soon as Amoris finished speaking, he turned around quickly, as if he were running away from something.

And Arnold looked at his back, lost in thought.

Although it was already summer, the temperature at night wasn’t stuffy. How could Amoris feel hot?

Could it be that he was sick?

His gaze had been on Amoris’s hair before, and he hadn’t paid much attention to other places. Arnold didn’t notice until now that Amoris was wearing a bathrobe.

After Amoris moved in, because there was some difference in their body shapes, Arnold’s clothes would be a little too big on Amoris, so Arnold bought him a new set of toiletries, buying them according to Amoris’s size, so they wouldn’t be ill-fitting.

But now, the length of the bathrobe Amoris was wearing extended all the way to his ankles, completely covering his calves. It should be his, no matter how he looked at it.

“Amoris, you’re wearing my clothes,” he called out to Amoris.

“Ah?” Amoris, who was at the stairs, paused. He seemed to realize it only now, and looked down at his outfit, appearing as if he had just woken up from a dream. “Really, maybe I didn’t look carefully when I was showering just now and grabbed the wrong one.”

“No wonder, I was wondering why I felt so hot.”

“I’ll wash it and return it to you later.”

After saying that, Arnold could only see Amoris’s figure disappear on the stairs.

Hurrying back to his room, Amoris slammed the door shut.

He leaned against the door panel, panting heavily, letting himself slide to the ground.

He hadn’t engaged in any strenuous exercise, so why was his heart beating so fast?

He hadn’t noticed it at the club, but when he was showering just now, he discovered a patch of bruising on his calf. He frowned and pressed it, and sure enough, it felt sore.

Can’t be rubbed off… it’s not dirt.

The pain belatedly exploded, and Amoris subconsciously hissed, then suddenly realized—

Arnold couldn’t see this bruise.

So he deliberately wore Arnold’s bathrobe to cover up this mark.

But what should he do next?

Amoris sat on the ground, coolness spreading from behind him and the soles of his feet, slowly engulfing him. It was early summer, but he felt as if he were in another world.

It wasn’t the coolness brought by the summer breeze, but the biting wind of winter.

He looked out the window in annoyance, the moon and stars sparse, there was nothing.

He didn’t know if he wanted to find something in this starry sky or simply seek solace.

“Heh.”

Amoris tugged at the corners of his mouth and gave a bitter laugh.

When did he start caring about these ethereal things?

“Didi—”

Just then, the terminal on Amoris’s wrist rang.

Breaking free from his complicated thoughts, Amoris raised his hand to check the message.

It was from Iwen.

It was their next target—a arms dealer, who was of some importance to the Noir Arena and the forces behind it.

According to reliable sources, this arms dealer would arrive at the Imperial Star in the near future and attend a banquet in a week.

And this was the best opportunity to deal with him.

Getting rid of him would definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Noir Arena, which was something Amoris was happy to see.

In fact, this arms dealer lived in the Heiser Star System for a long time and was almost the local tyrant there. One reason was that the Heiser Star System was far away from the Imperial Star, making it inconvenient to manage; the other was that it was a mixed bag of people and was occupied by Star Pirate groups all year round.

The fact that the arms dealer was able to tear himself out of such a chaotic place was enough to show that his strength was not ordinary.

But even more famous than his strength was his personality.

Rumor has it that the arms dealer has a mansion in the Heiser Star System, which is extremely luxurious. In the lobby on the first floor, there is also a huge sculpture, all white, like jade but not like jade. It does not have the warmth and delicacy of jade, but instead exudes a desolate white, giving people a sense of coldness.

Some people say that it was a giant alien beast captured by the arms dealer, skinned, and made from its bones.

Others say that it was made by smashing and piecing together the bones of the Zerg. Whether they are male or female Zergs, they are smashed, mixed, and then never separated.

You are in me, and I am in you.

However, this is not the most shocking thing.

It is said that there is also a basement in the arms dealer’s mansion, where countless of his proud collections are placed.

They are pairs of wings, just like butterflies, some are several meters wide, and some are less than one meter.

Each pair of wings is different in color, and even the patterns on them are unique.

The arms dealer is very willing to invite others to visit his home.

But everyone who is invited to visit will shake their heads after seeing it. It’s not that the arms dealer’s collection is bad, but it always feels a bit strange.

A kind of indescribable strangeness.

After staying for a long time, they even have a illusion, as if some unknown creature is constantly climbing up their legs, biting their whole body, and then releasing dangerous toxins, flowing through their limbs.

Until one day, a female Zerg stumbled out of it.

He sobbed, his tone trembling.

He said that he saw his brother’s insect wings.

He and his brother were twins, and even their insect wings had similar places. He said that he would never admit his mistake.

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

Someone quickly reacted to what the indescribable strange feeling was before.

It is fear and rejection.

That is their natural fear and rejection of the corpses of their own kind, which is engraved in their genes.

What they saw was not pairs of beautiful wings, but the souls of their kindred, engraved with their resentment and unwillingness.

But after he reacted to all this, what followed was endless fear and disgust.

After the Zerg die, the various organs of the body will quickly fail, including their insect wings.

It will gradually shrink, and the color will no longer be bright.

Only when the Zerg is alive, pulling out the insect wings can the color be completely preserved.

The insect wings of the male Zerg have long lost the function of flying and fighting in the process of evolution. The color is relatively simple and the size is not large, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is a decoration. Some male Zergs even have surgery to remove their insect wings because they find them troublesome.

But the insect wings of the female Zerg have the function of fighting, and the part connected to the body is as hard as a bone. Pulling it out alive, the pain can be imagined.

So for the female Zerg, losing their insect wings is equivalent to losing their lives.

After this incident, the arms dealer’s cruel and bloodthirsty reputation became more and more popular, and everyone was afraid of him.

This is the information that can be searched by searching the arms dealer’s name on the Star Network. It seems that he doesn’t care about his reputation.

Amoris silently put away the terminal.

Taking the insect wings as collections and inviting people to visit them openly, should he say that he is arrogant, or indifferent to life?

Compared with the arms dealer, Albert’s abuse of the female Zerg is simply a small witch seeing a big witch.

But neither of them are good people.

Amoris silently despised their behavior in his heart.

He was a little sleepy. What about tomorrow, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

Thinking like this, Amoris let his body fall into the soft big bed.

The next day, he got up early in the morning in order to avoid Arnold, and he had already thought of the reason.

He didn’t expect that when he walked to the living room, he found that Arnold had already left before him.

Breakfast was also packed and placed on the table.

And when he came back at night, Arnold was never there.

It wasn’t until he went to bed that he heard the sound of the door lock turning downstairs.

It was like this for several days in a row.

That’s good too. Amoris thought silently.

He looked at his calf. The bruise had subsided by more than half. It was estimated that it would be completely healed in a few days, and then it would be foolproof.

The days passed by like this under the seemingly calm surface.

Amoris basically went to school and left school every day, occasionally doing errands for Iwen, and there was nothing else.

It is worth mentioning that when the mecha class was teamed up, the Second Prince Carlos and the Third Prince Payne always liked to be in the same group with him and Custer. Thinking of Custer’s popular physique in the original plot, Amoris could understand.

It was just this Carlos who seemed to be secretly watching him all the time, but never took the initiative to talk to him.

It was strange, but he couldn’t think of it for a while. He carefully recalled the original plot, and Carlos did not have any intersection with Amoris.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the joint military school exercise will officially begin in two days.

During this period, Amoris could feel that the Imperial Star was turbulent and unpredictable, as if there were undercurrents surging. Every time he went out, he could see several unfamiliar faces. Of course, he was not referring to strangers, but people who had obviously come to the Imperial Star from other star systems.

He could also feel that the gazes peeking at him were becoming more and more numerous. He understood that it was the people from the Noir Arena, just like Phil told him at the beginning.

What should he do?

Just then, the terminal on his wrist vibrated.

It was a notification, which said that Arnold would be one of the examiners for this exam.

Seeing the familiar name, Amoris realized that he hadn’t seen Arnold for a long time.

When was the last time they spoke?

In the past month, both of them seemed to be very busy. Even if they met, they would just brush past each other, and just a greeting would exhaust all their time.

There was no time to think too much, because he received a new message, from Iwen.
