“Just to be safe…”
G502 looked at Meng Dalei, who was unconscious on the bed after being toyed with, and seemed to think of something.
She snapped her fingers.
Immediately, an exquisite little pink-haired girl walked in from outside the door.
This pink-haired girl was practically a miniature version of G502.
If one looked closely, they would notice her eyes lacked any spark, as if she were a delicate doll.
“Watch her. If anything seems wrong, tell me immediately,” G502 said to the little girl.
The little girl only nodded silently.
Every Imperial Guard had a unique talent granted by the Insect Hive.
Her talent was [Selflessness].
To put it simply, she could create different clones of herself.
At a critical moment, she could regain her consciousness within one of these clones, making it a powerful survival skill.
Those insect eggs in the corners were all her clones.
She had originally intended to use one clone to act as Meng Dalei’s daughter, thinking she could trick Meng Dalei into believing they had conceived a child together.
Unfortunately, [Selflessness] had a fatal flaw — it lacked any life and was more like a puppet.
Meng Dalei was no fool.
While she said, “I believe you, baby,” she had secretly gone to get a paternity test.
Hmph, Witches.
This had stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Not only did Meng Dalei discover that [Selflessness] was not her daughter, but she also made the terrifying discovery that this so-called daughter actually possessed Zerg genes!
Fortunately, G502 reacted quickly.
To prevent her identity as a Zerg from being exposed, she had controlled Meng Dalei to orchestrate this cheating scandal herself.
Now, public opinion had shifted to Wen Ruyu and that unlucky person, while no one was paying attention to Meng Dalei.
G502 walked out of the bedroom.
In the luxurious villa’s living room, the ceiling was covered in a dense, white, web-like substance.
Something was still squirming inside, and pairs of eyes looked at her in terror.
These were the people who had performed Meng Dalei’s paternity test.
G502 had no choice but to contain them first.
‘I have to hurry.’
G502 knew she didn’t have much time.
She could use Meng Dalei’s name to keep these people trapped here for now, but over time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Speaking of which, she had been too careless.
Between the Zerg and the Witches, only the Royal Family in mimicry form lacked reproductive isolation.
Imperial Guards like her could also use Mimicry, but it was just a shell.
They couldn’t mimic the most important part — magic.
There was a saying that the body fragrance of a Witch was the scent of the magic within her.
Every Witch’s magic was unique, which was why their fragrances were also one of a kind.
The Royal Family could perfectly mimic magic, which meant they could blend their magic with a Witch to give birth to hybrids.
She was an Imperial Guard and couldn’t bear a child for Meng Dalei.
That was why she had tried to use [Selflessness] to muddle through.
She hadn’t expected that while Meng Dalei was small, she was quite shrewd and had played her.
G502 shook her head, tossing these stray thoughts aside.
Her main task now was to confirm whether the Zerg in the Lower City this morning was an Imperial Guard.
—
Holding Meng Dalei’s Space Anchor, G502 entered the coordinates for the Lower City.
A white light flashed, and when she opened her eyes, the scene before her had changed.
She couldn’t help but marvel at the Witches’ technology.
This kind of Space Shuttling was something only the “Excavators” among the Zerg soldiers could achieve.
However, to do so, those Excavators had to use their special mouthparts to gnaw away at space bit by bit, and the cost was enormous.
Consuming 1 cubic meter of space required sacrificing one Zerg soldier.
Therefore, during every emergency battle, it took thousands of Excavators to reach the front lines.
“Th-This lady, who are you?”
There were still two police officers on the scene.
Their equipment showed that the person arriving was using the Bureau Chief’s coordinates, and they were immediately startled into incoherence.
“I am the Bureau Chief’s secretary. She sent me to inspect the situation,” G502 lied casually.
The two little ones were covered in dust from their work, and the scene had mostly been cleaned up.
The two little Witches immediately saluted, their expressions very serious.
“Are these the remains of that Zerg?”
“Yes!”
G502 carefully observed the pile of blurred remains before her.
Charred chunks of meat emitted a foul stench.
G502’s brow furrowed.
For some reason, she actually sensed a familiar aura.
‘Strange…’
In a sense, all Zerg were children of the Insect Hive.
There were bloodline connections between Imperial Guards.
G502 pinched a piece of shredded meat, her lips moving slightly.
She glanced at the two little Witches who were stealing peeks at her ample chest and felt like laughing.
“I’ll have to ask you two to sleep for a bit~”
Before her voice faded, the two Witches felt their vision go dark, and they collapsed into sleep.
After confirming no one else was present, G502 sat on the bodies of the two little Witches.
She crossed her legs and tossed the shredded meat into her mouth.
Aside from some Imperial Guards who were granted the talent of memory probing by the Insect Hive, other Guards had to devour the flesh of their kin to probe their memories.
They used their shared bloodline to digest and obtain the information.
The shredded meat entered her mouth, fishy and foul, but G502 remained expressionless.
As she chewed, countless memory fragments flashed through her mind.
‘K424! How can it be you!’
G502’s pupils shrank, her face full of disbelief.
K424 was her student; she had even been the one to assign the identification number.
She remembered there was always a tag-along following K424.
If K424 had met her end, then K423…
G502’s heart sank.
As the memory fragments increased, G502’s expression became a kaleidoscope of emotions.
‘The Empress!’
G502 finally realized why K424 and K423 had suddenly disappeared.
20 years ago, the Witches had abducted the Empress.
Their Tyranid Swarm had suffered heavy losses, and countless Imperial Guards had vanished.
She hadn’t expected that K424 and K423 had been with the Empress the entire time.
The grief G502 felt for K424’s fall was immediately washed away by a wave of immense joy.
The Empress!
She finally had a clue about the Empress!
And it was a new Empress!
To her, whoever carried the Insect Hive was the Empress.
‘Quick, who is the new Empress?’
G502 frantically extracted the memories.
However, K424’s memory fragments were very unstable.
Finally, a blurry image of a girl with white hair and cherry-blossom eyes slowly emerged.
‘Su… Ling? What a beautiful name!’
As expected of the Empress.
She had finally obtained the Empress’s honorable name.
‘But why does it sound so familiar?’
G502 scratched her head.
She felt like she had heard this name somewhere before.
Wait!
G502’s seductive face suddenly froze, and her expression turned ashen.
She seemed to remember where she had heard the name.
With a sliver of hope, she took out her phone and logged into the Superintendent Department’s system.
Sure enough, the unlucky person who had taken the fall for Meng Dalei was Su Ling.
Looking at the pitiful photo of Su Ling in the system, G502’s vision went dark.
“Your Majesty! No!”
