Chapter 435

It smells familiar.

It’s the strong disinfectant smell I used to smell when I was young.

When I open my eyes, I see a familiar sight.

Nurses rushing back and forth between thin white curtains, IV lines connected to arms. It is a hospital, as expected.

At that time, the curtain was pulled back and a nurse approached. She makes eye contact with me and shouts something.

I wanted to ask what was going on, but my voice wouldn’t come out. There is no sound, so it feels like watching a silent movie.

Other people who came after hearing the silent cry diligently checked my body.

It’s definitely a familiar sight, but it feels strange.

It feels instinctive.

Something is wrong with this situation. We need to get out of here right away.

At that time, someone held my hand.

The faces of the person holding my hand and the person next to him are both blurry and unrecognizable.

However, as soon as I saw them, the wariness within me completely disappeared. As if someone had forcibly turned off my instincts. And what filled the empty space was a feeling of longing.

The moment I realized who the other person was, I woke up.

–

「Really?」

When I opened my eyes, the strong smell of disinfectant that I had just smelled disappeared in an instant.

Warm heat rising from the floor, Aadhai and No. 26 sleeping with their bodies pressed against mine. Seeing that reminds me of where I am. This is Gallagon’s nest, not a hospital.

‘What just happened?’

I think I definitely saw something important in my dream, but I can’t remember. Even if I try to remember, my head feels hazy, like there’s fog.

Moreover, I felt an unpleasant feeling whose cause was unknown. How can I express it? It is similar to the instinctive hostility felt when encountering an enemy that is difficult to handle.

‘Did you have a nightmare?’

「Big baby?」

At that time, number 26, who was sleeping next to me, woke up.

「Why aren’t you sleeping?」

[zuzuzu zuzu zuzu (I think I’m having a nightmare)]

「What is a nightmare?」

[Zuzzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (having bad thoughts while you’re sleeping)]

Number 26, who came into contact with my wavelength, brightened as if he understood what I meant.

“You’re thinking of a bad person. I hate it when I think of bad people, too.”

[Zuzuzu (that’s right)]

“I’ll get rid of your thoughts about bad people!”

The guy who said that pulled out one of his tentacles and gently stroked my head.

So, strangely enough, I felt at ease. I still couldn’t remember what I was dreaming about, but all the discomfort was gone.

‘I feel like my digestion is finished. Should I just get up?’

I woke up anyway. The ranker I captured earlier is in Jax Beta, so I have to go there.

The moment I lifted my head to get up, I made eye contact with Adhai.

[Zuzuzu(Are you awake?)]

「Two」「What are you doing?」

Is it because he became Red Gallagon? A strange sense of intimidation is felt from the purple eyes that glow in the dark.

Of course, there is still no problem with moving.

As we approached, the ship’s hangar door opened. My kids and I boarded the Jax Beta safely.

“I thought you would sleep better, but you came early.”

Heavenly Mother opened the door and welcomed us from the inside.

[Zuz, zuzuzu, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu (I woke up early. You woke up early too, right?)]

「I have something to do.」

She pointed to a corner of the hangar.

There were crude metal pipes neatly placed there. As I approached the auxiliary organ under the chin, a subtle odor of blood was detected in the tube.

“It’s a coffin containing the dead Wolfs who were kidnapped by pirates. “I want to bury them on this planet.”

[Zu (Really?)]

“Because those children have to live here too. “It would be better to have my family’s grave next to me.”

The 10 young Wolfs rescued by Heavenly Mother were eventually decided to join us.

It’s not specifically for humanitarian reasons. Because they knew more about me, I couldn’t send them back like this.

“They are smart and kind kids. If you take good care of it, it will be of great help to you as well.”

[Zuzuz zuzuzu (I hope so)]

Although I didn’t say it out loud, I think it’s better to kill it and dispose of it. She probably knows that too, which is why she says that.

Gallagon, Coldblood, and now Wolff. The number of people joining me is increasing.

‘I was always alone in the game.’

Looking at things like that, I feel like I’ve changed a lot too. Just as Amorph evolves according to its environment, I may be like that too.

“By the way, I heard from Isabelle, has Adhai changed his appearance nicely?”

The Mother of Heaven was amazed when she saw Adhai’s changed appearance for the first time.

「Me」「Cool?」

“Yes. The hard work was worth it.”

“No. 26 worked hard too.”

“Yes!”

Aadhai spread her wings wide and showed off her beauty. Number 26, who heard the praise, also expressed his joy by shining brightly.

「Anyway, the reason you came here early is because of that bastard, right?」

[Zuzuzu zuzuzuzuzu (Okay, I’m going to interrogate you now)]

「Okay. “I’m in jail now, so I’ll bring you.”

Then about 10 minutes later.

Sky Mother left the hangar and returned with Shinobu, the 25th ranker.

“Mr. Amov. “Did you call me?”

The one controlled by the parasite bowed with a servile smile.

“I have something to ask you.”

“Please feel free to ask anything. Amov, what you want is to answer as sincerely as possible...”

“Stop saying things you don’t mean. “You made a deal with Akira Eugene, right?”

“yes. That’s right.”

“A way to contact it or bring it out of the solar system. “If you know anything, tell me everything.”

The guy who heard my question rolled his eyes nervously and answered.

“Well, the elder, or rather Akira, does not leave the solar system except in extremely exceptional cases. “Usually we send agents or shadows to handle it.”

“Let’s talk about that exceptional case first.”

“Uh, as far as I know, the last time I went out to command the combined fleet to capture Aimov was the last time.”

“Anything else?”

“Before that, I had only been to the A-11 star system once to attend the Megacorp Dispute Resolution Conference.”

“I went there to deal with the civil war that broke out earlier.”

A-11 The star system is a place that both I and Heavenly Mother know.

When a civil war breaks out or a dispute arises between families, the seven families of Megacorp gather in that star system. There, people from each family discuss how to solve the problem.

What if another civil war breaks out? Otherwise, Akira would never go there.

“What else is there besides a dispute resolution meeting?”

“That’s all I know... Ah! Now that I think about it, there is one thing that comes to mind. I wonder if this will help...”

“Tell me.”

“Yes, yes. “There is information I heard from a shadow that received support from Akira in the past.”

“shadow?”

“yes. “My name is Sihyeon Eugene, and I am a strange bitch who has become a shadow despite being Noble Capital.”

A familiar name appeared out of nowhere. I couldn’t help but be surprised when I heard it.
