HISO Chapter 29
by VolareYou have to know, tentacled monsters are very good at eavesdropping by the wall.
089 is as clear as a mirror.
And Yu An racked his brains, looking at the black tide behind the man, and suddenly understood.
So Xie Jinsheng was unhappy because his tentacles couldn’t be retracted.
089: […]
The host is good in every way, except that his brain circuits are touching QAQ at times.
It’s easy to be bullied by bad dogs this way!
Yu An remembered what happened in the Ruined City before, no wonder the other party kept his tentacles out all day long.
He didn’t expect that retracting tentacles was so difficult for Xie Jinsheng. The Alpha must be very distressed, after all, not being able to retract tentacles is as tormenting as a man not being able to pull up his pants and running around naked, right?
Yu An felt a little more sympathy in his eyes.
Xie Jinsheng’s eyes were slightly lowered at the moment, his mind full of what he had heard outside the window more than ten minutes ago.
Were those words true?
…He was really willing to risk going to the Old City to keep him on the train?
But weren’t humans always cunning?
The boy was so delicate, he would break at a touch, how could he joke with his own life.
Or was it that he sensed his tentacles at the time and deliberately let him hear it? With such keen thinking, could it be that Yu An had been pretending to be stupid all these days?
Uncertain thoughts swirled in Xie Jinsheng’s eyes, a chaotic mess.
The surging thoughts almost drove him crazy.
Suddenly, he felt his cold tentacle being grabbed by a soft hand.
“…”
He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his eyes.
He saw the boy bending down to pick up his tentacle, holding it in his arms, rubbing it very lightly, trying to warm him.
“What are you looking at me for, I, I’m helping you.” Yu An noticed the Alpha’s gaze, his ears turning slightly red, “Don’t worry, although it’s a bit troublesome, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you not be able to retract your tentacles.”
Xie Jinsheng: “…”
So he wanted him to retract his tentacles.
Yu An warmed it for a long time with his body temperature, but the tentacle didn’t respond.
Footsteps of people coming and going were heard from time to time outside the corridor.
Afraid that someone would break in and see this scene, he quickly pressed his soft face against it.
Feeling the cold and sticky sensation after being touched by him, he trembled for a moment, as if scalded by his cheek, and then slowly, little by little, began to retract.
Too slow, even slower than the previous two times.
When would it be retracted? In the year of the monkey?
Yu An became a little anxious, looked at the closed curtains, and suddenly had an idea.
The tentacle was suddenly put aside.
The warmth of the boy moved away, and Xie Jinsheng’s fingertips instinctively lingered for a moment. When he realized that he was reluctant to let go, he froze in place.
The next second, with a whoosh.
The curtains were pulled open, and a large amount of sunlight and warmth fell in, illuminating the dim garden room, and…
Him in the dark corner.
Xie Jinsheng closed his eyes uncomfortably.
When he opened them again, he saw the boy’s hair stained with gold, his whole person standing in the sunlight, so bright that people couldn’t take their eyes off him.
“Look, there’s sunlight,” Yu An pointed to the outside of the window, looked back at him, his voice filled with joy, “Your tentacles should be warmer after basking in the sun, and it won’t be so difficult to retract them.”
Xie Jinsheng: “…”
This Omega.
He really seemed to be a little fool.
How could tentacles that grew in the dark go to the light? Although the sunlight was harmless to him, the feeling of being infused with sunlight made his heart uneasy.
Bringing a sense of discomfort from being forced to be exposed.
But Yu An stretched out his hand to him like this, his eyes curved, and said softly, “Xie Jinsheng, give me your tentacles.”
How absurd.
How could a monster walk into the sunlight?
Xie Jinsheng’s lips were straight, his deep eyebrows slightly lowered, but he couldn’t suppress the fact that his pupils were slightly enlarged – he was also eager to walk into the light.
No matter how repressed.
Subtle reactions would reveal his inner thoughts.
“Xie Jinsheng?” Yu An called him, and asked, “Your tentacles aren’t afraid of light, right…”
The tentacle tentatively stretched out and rested on his soft palm.
Yu An immediately clenched it.
This scene looked like a secret holding hands for a moment.
Looking at the beautiful picture of the snow-white boy being surrounded by dark tentacles, falling together into the light and shadow.
A little light appeared in Xie Jinsheng’s eyes.
His heart seemed to have fallen into a piece.
A warm, flowing sensation surged from the tip of the tentacle that Yu An had touched, all the way to the depths of his heart. Causing his soul to tremble for a moment.
Yu An closed his eyes and rested.
Suddenly, he felt his sensitive ankle being affectionately rubbed by a soft thing.
It was a little itchy.
Yu An glanced at it and saw the tentacle lying a few feet away from him, and Xie Jinsheng was also sitting on the white stone bench behind him.
Nothing unusual.
“Is it an illusion?” Yu An muttered, not paying much attention, and continued to close his eyes and bask in the sun with the tentacles.
089: […]
It looked at the Alpha’s still cold face behind him, but his dark eyes were secretly filled with a little joy and heat.
It’s over!
This bad monster has learned that its host is not very smart in some aspects and is easy to take advantage of!
The next day at noon, Yu An received the departure notice.
The team going to the Old City was divided into the military and volunteers. He was the latter.
Gather at carriage number one at 14:00.
Before going out, Yu An gave himself a few injections of suppressants, just in case. And took a bottle of perfume that simulated the heat period of Omega, to confuse the infected K6 at critical moments.
In addition, he prepared a small knife, and a bottle of… very faint Omega pheromone given to him by Lin Si.
It was stated on it that this simulated Omega scent was extremely faint, and ordinary people could not detect it, only infected people could smell it.
It could be used to lure K6.
Everything was ready, waiting for departure.
Yu An originally wanted to tell Xie Jinsheng.
But that Alpha disappeared again after eating lunch. So he left a note saying “Wait for me to come back” and stuck it on the bunk.
[Host, are you afraid of this mission?] 089 asked.
Yu An shook his head: “Not afraid.”
Now that he had accepted this era, he would naturally be fearless of any challenge, because experience could allow him to survive better.
He hoped that this trip to the Old City would successfully find the troublemaking K6, retrieve the energy tool to start the train, and return safely.
But…
After Yu An arrived at the assembly location, he glanced at the people around him, and his gaze quickly fell on a figure in the corner.
It was a man wearing a black cloak, with a black leather mask covering most of his face, his hair was a little long, and even his eyebrows and eyes were covered in shadow, making it impossible to see clearly.
As if aware of his gaze, the other party turned around.
Yu An’s first reaction was that it was K6, but he immediately denied it.
That infected person had other purposes, it was impossible to be so ostentatious and suspicious as soon as he arrived.
He stared and stared, and gradually stopped.
No, how could this tall and slender 1.9-meter figure look more and more familiar.
Was it Xie Jinsheng??
