EROS [Zerg]

When confronted by Afdero, En'er simply picked up the cup on his desk, lifted the lid, blew on the steam, and casually replied:

“I told him you were already tired of him. No female insect would like a low-level male insect that hasn’t even grown its first hairs hanging around her.”

After speaking, En'er looked at Afdero, who had a look of disapproval on his face:

"As a low-level male insect, he should know his place, and I remember you told me that you don't like him, which is correct, right?"

Afro looked at the mouth that was breathing hot air but uttering the coldest words, "It's hard to imagine that a female insect would talk about her offspring like that."

“Of course I am his mother-father.” Enel smiled at Afdero: “Do you think I’m harming him?”

“This is your family matter, Colonel Enel.” Afdero sensed the other’s probing and gave Enel a smile that didn’t reach his eyes: “You invited me here not just to impart some parenting experience to a newlywed female insect, right?”

"You...are married?"

Upon hearing Afdero's reply, En'er's relaxed expression instantly turned serious and incredulous: "You actually dare to get married?"

“Just a few weeks ago.” Afro looked at Enel’s expression with satisfaction: “The subject is a very gentle male. You’ll be happy for me, won’t you?”

Ener's face turned cold for once as he looked at Afdero with a probing gaze: "Having been in Kowe for so long, don't you know what you are? A half-finished experimental subject whose genetic defects are unknown, what kind of monster will be born after combining with the genes of a male insect? Aren't you scared?"

“You don’t need to worry about that. General Kuwait is quite looking forward to what I’m doing.” Afdero’s smile gradually faded. One second he was refuting triumphantly, and the next he was mockingly sneering: “Besides, do you really know what kind of person I am?”

Ener held the cup, carefully looked Afdro up and down, and finally put the cup on the table, saying:

"I know more about you than Kuwait does."

“You could say I’m a witness…” En’er paused here, looked at Afdero, and suddenly smiled: “Kooway put you here so you could get some information from me, right?”

"Do you think it's likely?" Afro scoffed. "That madman wouldn't send a second insect to relay any information he wants from you; he'd interrogate you himself."

"I'm here to find out why you did that back then?"

"Huh?" En'er seemed to have heard something very funny: "Do my reasons matter?"

“At first, I believed your reason for conspiring with Kuwait to deceive me, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that many details didn’t add up,” Afro said. “You may be colluding with Kuwait, but there should be many things he doesn’t know, right?”

Enl looked at Afdero with appreciation and nodded slightly: "Of course, but why should I tell you?"

Aphrodite said, "I also have information that you don't know to exchange."

"You go first," En'er tapped the table with his fingertips. "I'll think about it."

Afro knew he had to say something that would pique the other person's interest: "About Evanson."

"He was killed by insects."

Enr's previously outstretched claws clenched suddenly, but his tone remained calm with the scrutiny of a superior as he looked up to meet Afdero's gaze directly:

"Who killed him?"

Afro met Enel's gaze under the invisible pressure: "This is the second question. If you want to continue asking questions, you'll have to offer some useful information in exchange."

Ener sneered, "That's interesting, but you might not dare to listen to my news."

"You are the experimental subject that Evanson proposed to create."

Afro scoffed: "That news is outdated; Kuwait already told me."

Ener continued, "But did he tell you how you were created?"

Afro pursed her dry lips and suppressed her smile: "Please continue."

“Evanson and I became friends in school. When we were students, we had an immature idea.” Erdon paused for a moment: “Back then, we thought that the injustice that society brought to female insects was because female insects were always restrained by mental riots. The only effective and legal way to appease mental riots was to use male insects’ pheromones to appease them.”

"Once an insect's life is controlled, the price of freedom becomes too high."

"At that time, we had a lofty, or rather, self-indulgent sense of mission, to save the female insects in the world."

"Actually, we have also developed a special medicine that, in theory, can provide some buffer space for female insects experiencing mental outbursts."

"But in reality, this drug has not undergone any professional testing. Only two insects have received this drug: one is Evanson, and the other is Owen. Because neither of them reached the point of mental power riot, our conclusion is that it is harmless to the body."

"Evanson took our research results to Kowe, hoping to get some help and guidance, but in Admiral Kowe's eyes, they were nothing more than a bunch of little insects playing house."

"The matter of the medicine was later put on hold, but perhaps because of Evanson, we also received some special treatment and came into contact with some things we had never seen before."

"Your story begins with Evanson bringing an undivided embryo back to our humble laboratory from the Imperial Academy of Sciences."

"To be more precise, he stole it."

“I’m not a genetics major and don’t know the specifics, but I do know that Evanson altered the embryo’s genetic sequence without telling any of the other insects what he changed.”

"He illegally copied the gene sequences of thousands of cosmic organisms from the Imperial Academy of Science's gene bank."

Aphrodite said, "What you're saying isn't a secret. It was something that even the technicians at the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology knew back then."

Enel smiled and said, "Evanson said he didn't use them; he stole those gene sequences just to confuse the issue."

"What's even more unbelievable is that he actually chose to cooperate with space pirates. It's hard to say whether this is also to confuse the public, but if it is true, then it's too troublesome."

"There are at least a hundred known pirate groups, and at least a dozen of them may be capable of conducting genetic experiments."

"It's difficult to confirm, and communication is also very difficult."

“It can only be said that he doesn’t trust you.” Afro smiled. “You can’t blame him for that; perhaps he realized something.”

Ener looked at Afdero: "What are you trying to say?"

Afro smiled slightly: "I saw many, many Evansons in Admiral Kuwait's laboratory."

"They were all Evansons, but who knows which one you met back then?"
