mother of all races

It was as if someone had suddenly thrown him into icy water, his skin and internal organs were as cold as ice.

In Lin Xi's imagination, he was screaming and cursing at "Number One".

But in reality... his body froze completely.

Lin Xi felt that her heart seemed to be shrinking into her stomach, and her throat was as dry as if it had been stuffed with straw.

He wanted an explanation, but at this moment, he couldn't even say a word.

In this corridor covered in fleshy jelly, time seems to be frozen.

"why……"

I don't know how long it took before Lin Xi heard himself making a hoarse question.

A strange and bloodthirsty desire surged within him.

That was the extreme anger at "No. [-]" for not obeying his request—in a trance, Lin Xi even rushed up and tore open the throat of "No. [-]" with her sharp claws, so that she could know that she did something wrong.

"name."

What Lin Xi didn't expect was that "No. [-]" actually gave him an answer, and it was a completely unexpected answer.

"name?"

At first, Lin Xi didn't even understand what "No. [-]" was talking about.

Until "No. [-]" stood there trembling slightly, and then spoke again.

"It has a name."

"Number One" whispered, and it shook the head that belonged to "White". ;

"It has a name!"

Immediately afterwards, it repeated it again, but this time its tone became particularly anxious and painful.

"You...you said..."

"Number One" stammered and organized his language. He had just killed his own kind, and even ate the newborn "White" directly at Lin Xi's feet into wreckage, but it looked extremely sad...

You said, you'd give me a name.

But you don't.

If it is said that Lin Xi's defense of "White" at the beginning only made "No. [-]" feel sad and jealous.

After listening to Lin Xi tenderly giving such a beautiful name to that disgusting and weak monster at the other end of the corridor, "No. [-]"'s body was completely occupied by that extremely strange emotion.

It even thought that it was about to usher in a pupation again.

Because that feeling is too uncomfortable, too painful.

It seemed that venom was constantly surging and expanding under the skin, and the dark emotions were constantly gnawing at its soul from its body.

But when "Number One" reacted, it found that it had quietly approached "White" and killed him directly.

It carefully swallowed the disgusting thing into its stomach.

"White".

It kept chanting the word in its mind.

If the "white" is eaten...does it mean that the name belongs to it?

"Number One" thought very bluntly.

But Lin Xi looked at it after waking up, as well as the indescribable anger, which shattered the fantasy of "No. [-]".

It just gets it without any explanation.

Even if it eats "white" with its own mouth, that name still doesn't belong to it.

And, it made Lin Xi really angry.

The physiological instinct of "No. [-]" is constantly clamoring in its body, making it crawl down, cater to "Him", please "Him" to make up for its own mistakes...

It should.

But "Number One" looked at Lin Xi who was full of anger, and the tingling pain in his chest completely overcame his instinct.

"My name...you promised...name..."

"Number One" murmured to Lin Xi.

And at this moment, Lin Xi finally remembered the promise he made carelessly a long time ago.

He did say that when Number One emerged from the cocoon alive, he would give it an official name.

It's just that this matter has long been forgotten by Lin Xi.

"For God's sake--"

Lin Xi opened his eyes wide and he whispered in disbelief.

The anger in his chest was like an inflated balloon, which burst with a bang after inflating and dissipated.

He didn't know how to face all this.

"...You killed it for this reason?"

He murmured, rather than saying it was a question, it might as well be talking to himself.

"You are mine, not theirs."

"No. [-]" looked up suddenly, stared at Lin Xi and said word by word.

Well...it's not just a name-induced envy.

And possessiveness.

"Number One" is no ordinary creature.

It is xenogeneic.

And it doesn't understand anything.

It just follows its own instinct...to please itself and to reproduce.

Lin Xi said to herself from the bottom of her heart.

The death of "White" was an oversight.

He underestimated the possessiveness and jealousy of Number One, and the life-and-death rivalry between their races.

This made Lin Xi feel more and more heavy.

It never occurred to him that one day he would have to face this situation.

"No, I'm not yours, and I'll never belong to anyone, any monster."

Lin Xi looked directly at "No. [-]" and said firmly.

Under the stern exterior, only Lin Xi knew how weak and helpless he was, and there was nothing he could do.

Ever since her body mutated, Lin Xi has been deliberately keeping herself from thinking too much so as not to go completely insane.

He tried... tried to accept "Number One" and other monsters with a normal heart.

However, he will never be able to truly degenerate.

If one day he was completely reduced to that kind of irrational monster...he would never allow himself to have close contact with such a monster and reproduce.

Just thinking about this matter, Lin Xi felt that his spirit was about to collapse.

He will probably kill himself directly before this thing happens.

Lin Xi heard a voice in his heart say so.

"Lin Xi is mine."

"Number One" completely ignored Lin Xi's words, and repeated them aggressively.

Immediately afterwards, it quickly folded its wings and swept to the other side of the corridor just like before.

According to its original intention, it should dive directly into the shadows deep in the corridor and escape far away.

Although there is no way to fully understand what Lin Xi said just now, his eyes, his expression, and his tone... all made "No. [-]" heartbroken.

But obviously thinking so, "Number One" stopped involuntarily at the corner that was about to leave Lin Xi's sight.

It hesitated for a while before slowly turning around.

It doesn't know how to describe that feeling...but it is still looking forward to it silently.

Expecting that Lin Xi would call it to stop, then put on a straight face and comfort it.

Lin Xi would always do this when it was a star butterfly-like larva.

But this time, it had been standing at the end of the corridor for so long, but Lin Xi still stood silently in the distance without making any sound.

Then, "Number One" watched Lin Xi turn around and silently began to pack up the remains of "White"... Judging from his pale and dignified face, he seemed to be very fond of "White" Sad to die.

"No. [-]" fluttered its wings.

After a while, it wrapped its body with its wings.

Then it whimpered and wept in the darkness surrounded by its wings.

The author has something to say: number one: woo woo woo I am so miserable woo woo woo my wife doesn’t even want to give me a name woo woo he even said he doesn’t like me...

White: ... t
