Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human
Chapter 39 The Tentacle Monster's Runaway Bride
The first encounter of fate is so wonderful.
As if inheriting Victor's romantic nature and loyalty, the two quickly fell in love, their love was passionate and intense, until they got married in the ocean sanctuary. Kong Yang was pregnant with a belly full of baby octopus eggs, and only then did they take each other to meet the parents' representatives.
The Black Witch and the Turtle Elder exchanged a glance, shook their heads simultaneously, and sighed.
It felt like witnessing some kind of cyclical curse, leaving one feeling helpless.
Fortunately, Ian and Kong Yang understood that love across races inevitably involves facing more prejudice, so they became even more inseparable, like a rope twisted into one.
Ian followed Kong Yang to land, to her home.
She has no family; the only teacher who raised her passed away six years ago.
Ian accompanied her to sweep the teacher's grave, and they went back together to sort through the teacher's belongings.
While tidying up a thick book on naval and land warfare, a photograph fell out.
The photo was old and yellowed, and Ian freed up one of his tentacles to pick it up.
It was a photograph of a beautiful, thin human woman with numb, world-weary eyes. She was wearing a black and white striped prison uniform and holding a strip of cloth with the number "10086" on it.
"That's Yangyang." Seeing him lost in thought, Kong Yang walked over, supporting his waist. "She's the only female comrade I know by name while working with the teacher."
"Rippling, rippling..." Ian murmured, lost in memories, as if something long buried was about to break through the soil.
He then extended two tentacles to support his lover's heavy, round belly, eliciting a comfortable sigh from her.
"Would you like to see my teacher's photo album?" Kong Yang kissed his lover's chin.
"Won't that be offensive?"
"Of course not."
Victor doesn't like taking photos. His photo album is only a thin book with less than twenty pages, fifteen or sixteen of which are photos of "Yang Yang".
As Kong Yang turned the pages, he introduced each photo one by one.
"Admiral Victor, I called him my teacher, but actually, he found me on the ocean when I was five years old. He never had children or married, and after his death, his belongings were awarded to me according to the law..."
Ian, who was beside him, seemed to be experiencing some kind of emotional surge, but he suppressed it with his usual strong and calm rationality. Only his fingers, which were stroking the photograph, were trembling slightly.
"Six years ago, how...did he die?"
"He went into the sea and never came back." Kong Yang, oblivious to his lover's strange behavior, recalled while stroking his chin, "But before he left, he watched the same videotape all night."
"What videotape?" Ian's eyes were unnaturally red, and his voice was hoarse as he asked, pretending nothing was wrong.
"It's a videotape of an ordinary land and sea battle. Hmm... the only unusual thing is that the opponent was a tentacle monster? Ah! Just like you! Yes, that monster looked exactly like you!"
Before Ian could even form a word, Kong Yang swiftly took out the videotape and put it into the projector.
She turned off the light, sat back on the sofa, and snuggled into Ian's arms. Ian familiarly put his arm around her shoulder.
The video, filmed from a helicopter perspective, shows the Navy destroying an experimental subject that escaped from a laboratory.
The experimental subject was incredibly strong, and his stubborn resistance caused serious damage to the army carrying out the operation. It was easy to see that the experimental subject was holding a human woman in his arms.
However, due to the blurry pixels, it was impossible to see its appearance clearly, not even the monster's.
The navy deployed enormous firepower and spent an extremely long time to finally trap the monster, but as they approached to close the net, the monster suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared in the videotape, it had already fled in the opposite direction of the sea.
Only the human female remained, struggling in the same spot.
So, the firepower was redirected...
They watched the videotape from beginning to end, with only the flickering light from the projector reflecting on their faces; the atmosphere was as quiet as a Christian church late at night.
Kong Yang gradually noticed that his lover's body was stiff. When he looked up, he saw that his light-colored eyes were staring straight at the screen, as if something as turbulent as a tsunami was about to surge out.
She realized that it was probably the sight of humans hunting his own kind that had triggered his grief.
So, I immediately turned off the projector.
The room was pitch black, except for the wall lamp strip attached to the fish tank on one side of the living room.
A hot, glistening object hit Kong Yang in the face.
She was moved by his emotions, recalling the taciturn and arrogant general in her memory, and sighed, her throat choked with emotion.
"My teacher dedicated his life to peace on land and sea. It's such a pity he never got to meet you."
"I've seen it."
"Um?"
Kong Yang didn't hear clearly, and looked up, only to be pulled tightly into his arms. She could hear his heart pounding in his chest like a drum, as if it were about to burst out.
Ian rested his chin on his lover's head, remembering how he used to rest his chin on his father's head when he was a child.
The moon is incredibly bright tonight, shining through the half-hidden window curtains.
He gently patted his lover's back, as if comforting her, or perhaps comforting his own confused and helpless self at age three.
"I said, don't regret it, we've met before."
