parasitic son

Dear Xingquan:

In your previous letter, you mentioned a carapace monster.I've never seen this creature in person, but I've read it described in books.

This creature is called a wanderer.According to the size you have described, dear star spring, I am afraid you will soon see them blooming. The book says that it will be a very beautiful and charming spectacle. Please do not miss this rare opportunity.Speaking of which, you may ask what I mean by bloom.Blooming is literally blooming like a flower.Yes, this kind of crustacean monster is not some kind of animal or bug, they are a kind of plant.

This plant is commonly found in the Thorns galaxy.After the seeds of the Wanderer germinate, a larva that looks like a beetle crawling around will grow, and the fully mature body will be as big as a giant spirit cow. They will swim and migrate according to seasonal changes.By the way, youzi can be eaten after blooming, and the pulp of youzi after the seeds have been scattered has always been a delicacy respected by the locals.Liana said that although its taste is not as good as tass balls, it is still delicious enough.I decided to list it as my second favorite food after tass.

Xingquan, something has changed in my life.

The long-term substandard work made me fall into a state of self-pity and self-pity. The company took in me who was stuck in the mud, but I couldn't meet the company's expectations for me.Whenever I think of this, I always feel pain and shame.The shame of being relegated to the [-]th rank stimulated us all the time, and so did Tita and everyone else.But tiredness is always holding us back.We start to become gradually numb.The days of struggling at the bottom are so long, so long that I thought it might be like this for a lifetime.

In the culture of my race, there is the saying of the wheel of fortune. We believe that when the wheel of fortune turns to a special point, a person's fate will change greatly.I have always thought that entering the company is my fate.Then on that day, my fate took another turn.

Affected by a strong storm that day, we rarely stopped working for half a day.Tita and the others seized this precious rest time and went back to the dormitory and fell asleep.I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and wandered out of the dormitory area.At this time, I saw the stars flowing in the sky.

This is the most amazing view of Asaph.Huge nebulae flow in the sky, and the stars are like flowing springs.When we first came, we were shocked by this magnificent sight.Tita didn't even want to look at the sky much, he said it was as if he would be sucked in if he kept looking.What he said was the truth.Whenever I stare at the flowing and spinning stars for too long, I get dizzy and my eyes swell.But that day, the fountain of stars in the sky was so beautiful, I stared at this phosphorescent light and walked forward in a daze.

Before I knew it, my eyes were sour, and tears rolled down my cheeks.Only then did I realize that I had reached the depths of the wall that I had never visited before. Inside the wall should be a secluded garden.Blue branches and leaves protruded from the wall, emitting a clear cold light under the starry sky.Going deeper, I smell a quiet fragrance, the deeper I go, the stronger the fragrance.Just as I was wandering outside the wall, I saw a grayclaw.It was held in a metal clamp and lay bloodstained on the ground.

This creature looks very similar to the Elt.I mean no offense to the Elts, because they all look the same petite and effeminate.I curiously asked if it was okay.It responded to me with a slight meow.It seems to say that it has been waiting for me for a long time, let me save its life immediately.

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how to fix this little thing.I picked it up together with the metal clip, thinking all the way what to do.It was badly wounded, blood dripping down the road.When I took this little thing back to the dormitory, everyone ignored me with a very indifferent attitude.

Because this little thing can neither help us improve work efficiency nor improve our work ability, it is just a small gadget that wastes time and energy.

After taking off the metal clip, I took out the scallop cake and gave it to eat. It sniffed the scallop cake and dismissed it.Obviously so weak, but very picky eaters.I later went to Xiong Shi and begged him to go to the restaurant to bring me some cooked food scraps.Level [-] employees do not have the right to go to the restaurant.Since Xiong Shi became a full-time employee, we haven't spoken for a long time.He never expected that I would take the initiative to come to him.Xiong Shi looked at me in surprise, but finally nodded in agreement.I got the bacon scraps that Xiongshi gave me, and the gray claw civet raised its head as soon as it smelled it.

It ate very quickly, and looked at me with a pair of round eyes after eating.I took care of its wound a little bit.Its injuries were serious, except for the broken right leg caused by the clips, there were several round red spots on its body, which should be burns caused by some kind of sharp instrument.Its tail hair had been artificially cut in half, and its back had signs of being whipped.I don't understand why anyone would be so mean to this little guy.He was well behaved and quietly at my mercy while I fixed his leg bones.When I was done with the dressing, he nudged me, his little nose wet.

At first it stayed quietly in my dormitory, I don't think it can survive the night.But by day two, it looked in good spirits.On the third day, it started bouncing around the dormitory excitedly.Its movements are ridiculous and clumsy.

The roommates in the dormitory used to just fall asleep after returning to the dormitory.When Tita went back that day, he lifted the quilt and yelled, and the gray-clawed civet got out of the quilt, squatting on the spot and looking at him curiously.Tita wanted to chase it away, but it jumped over and carefully licked Tita's feet.

"It's licking me," said Tita, confused.He turned to look at me.

This is the first time that Tita, who has always been unable to cheer up, has shown such an emotional expression since we have been working for so many days.He gently stroked the little thing's back carefully.The little thing let out a comfortable meowing sound.Tita smiled.

Then the next day, when they got off work, another roommate ran up to pet it.In just a few days, it became the darling of the whole dormitory.This speed caught me by surprise.It bursts in, out of nowhere, in our dreary world of work.Like the only bright color in a dark world.Liana said that the little thing is a very rare thing, and only the rich and the rich will keep it as a pet.I think it might be that she likes it too much and deliberately raised its value.

We always miss it when we are not working in those days.Every day after get off work, as soon as the dormitory door is opened, it will happily jump over to greet us.The moment I saw it, I felt a sense of healing as my tiredness and aches all over my body dissipated.It is the comfort of our boring life.

It's not just me, it's all my roommates.

But such days did not last long, the company monitored us secretly raising this fluffy little thing in the dormitory.The one who came to see us was Nirou the slug. Her attitude was very polite and gentle, but her words were very clear.The company does not allow low-level employees like us to keep pets in the dormitory, let us dispose of it as soon as possible.

"Its injury hasn't healed yet," Liana said.

"Now you still have a chance to deal with it yourself." Nirou said, "If you let the security guards handle it..."

She didn't finish the second half of the sentence.Nirou has always been gentle, but we see what she means right away.But everyone hated this little thing.Its injuries were not fully healed, and it still wobbled and clumsily when it walked.But if you don't drive it away, only death will greet it.

After get off work, I walked aimlessly by the fence with this little thing in my arms.I don't know where to send it.

The stars that flowed in the night sky were extraordinarily bright.

In the end, I wandered to the depths of the wall from last time.Go to the end of the wall, there is a rusty copper door, I pushed it open.In front of you is a secluded courtyard, half-height green shrubs are planted beside the tidy stone path, and small pale flowers are hidden in it, exuding a quiet fragrance.Two rows of statues, grotesque monsters, stood on the cornerstones of the path.

Where is this?

I looked around in a daze.This is a part of the corporate base that I have never set foot on.This place is very different from our simple dormitory building. There is obviously a careful geometric aesthetic design here, and there is a special refinement and elegance.I suddenly felt that this was not me, a place where a low-level employee of the company should set foot.

The little thing in my arms struggled suddenly and violently.It jumped out of my arms and staggered towards the depths of the courtyard.

There was a man standing there.A Homo sapiens female.Grayclaw let out a merry cry and rushed towards her.

The woman bent down and picked it up.The little thing cheerfully kept rubbing its head against the woman's body.I know it likes me very much. Among the few workers in the dormitory, it likes to hang around me the most.But I didn't expect it to be so enthusiastic in front of this strange woman.At that moment, I suddenly understood that this woman is the owner of this little thing.

The woman spoke: "Are you the one who saved it?"

I answer yes.

The woman smiled, and she thanked me sincerely.

Then we chatted.I told her I was the bottom fourteen employee in the company and this little thing gave us a lot of joy these days.

"It can be seen that Sisi likes you very much."

It turned out to be called Sisi.

This Homo sapiens female looks very young, like a maiden.But I can't tell her exact age.She was well-dressed from head to toe, in contrast to my rough workman's attire.Homo sapiens of this class are qualified to perform revitalization surgery on themselves. Even a [-]-year-old man can use medicine and surgery to maintain a youthful posture.

She speaks very politely and her eyes are bright.Chatting and chatting, for some reason, I told her all about my situation, including me and everyone being demoted to No.14, our repetitive boring day and night work, and our increasingly tired body and mind.She listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.

Then she brought me a drink.The drink takes on an odd orange color.I took a sip curiously, and suddenly felt that my whole body was bathed in the rich fragrance.Seeing my intoxicated expression, she covered her mouth and smiled happily.

After the chat she escorted me out of the courtyard.Xixi was held in her arms, and she stood at the gate of the courtyard, waving goodbye to me.

After I returned to the dormitory, I could still smell the faintly scented tranquil fragrance.

On the second day, I was directly promoted to No.11 member of the security team.When I received this news, my co-workers and I were shocked.

The Marriott executive announced the news himself, and he became mild and strange to me.I got a new set of guards uniform, the old ones were thrown in the trash.I moved out of the dirty, cramped ground floor dorms and got a nice clean staff dorm.That room has soft crisp carpets and various personal living facilities.Cleaners come to clean every day.

Xiong Shi asked me: "What happened?"

I was also at a loss.

I no longer have to go to the mining area to work desperately.Now my work intensity has been greatly reduced, and I only need to follow the security guards to do routine patrol inspections.Compared with those days in the past, my current job can be said to be happy and happy.

After moving into the eleventh-level dormitory, I haven't seen Tita and Liana for dozens of days.I miss them a lot, but can barely touch them.

They worked in the mine until late at night.

Then one day I suddenly figured out my bizarre promotion.

I went to the courtyard deep in the wall again.

"I was promoted because of you?"

The Homo sapiens girl replied straightforwardly: "Because you saved my only friend here, Sisi. I want to thank you."

I told her with some embarrassment that I was just passing by and never expected to actually revive it. "Actually, I also want to thank it. After saving it, it brought joy to me and my co-workers." Then I asked the girl why she had such great energy to promote me.

"I'm going to ask my master." The girl stroked Sisi and said.

"Your master?"

"Yes." The girl told him that her owner was Diesel, who was a senior executive of the company.

I see.The answer didn't surprise me.I thanked the girl again, only then did I realize that I didn't know the girl's name yet.

"My name is Muli." The girl said with a smile.

Muli, Muli.I said the name on the way back.I turned my head to look at the courtyard, and the fountain of stars flowing in the sky was shining noisily, casting a cool and beautiful halo.
