Upon hearing this, the atmosphere became tense.

He got up and walked around the room a few times, still showing no intention of confronting the local forces.

Even if this woman is a big fish, she still needs the ability to eat it.

"You don't want to?" Natalie could tell that the man didn't want to get involved.

Perhaps they were wary of the orphanage's power, or perhaps they were afraid of something else.

The man snapped his fingers, and the sea monster entered, carrying a plate of energy gems from Granz.

"Madam, take these and leave. You can't fight them; they're much more terrifying than you think."

"Why?" Natalie refused to back down. "You know, right?"

The man was, after all, from Earth, and he was somewhat biased towards Natalie, but his power was only used for transportation, not to oppose the galactic forces.

In that case, his entire stronghold would be wiped out.

"Sir, you know that orphanages use humans for experiments, right?"

The man didn't speak, but his face was very sour.

So, it's all true.

Natalie was now certain of her suspicions.

The orphanage and the righteous forces behind the Milky Way are in cahoots, and her boss is also aware of this.

Ironically, the Galaxy Special Police, who always claim to uphold fairness, are doing the cruelest things.

They are not sheltering humans, but criminals.

Natalie's faith crumbled.

"Madam, don't be sad. I was just as angry as you when I found out, but what could we do? I run a transportation business on Granz Star, and sometimes I rescue a few lucky stars and send them away."

The man told his story.

He has been on Granz for over a hundred years, initially searching for a monster that could prolong his life and cure his daughter's illness.

The orphanage helped his daughter, but one day he noticed something was wrong. After investigating, he learned that his daughter's recovery was the result of the deaths of more than a hundred girls.

Behind the experiment lies humanity as the foundation, which is not as rosy as the Milky Way portrays it to be.

His daughter still died because she learned the truth, couldn't accept reality, and piloted her spaceship into a collision with a meteorite, dying in the explosion.

Natalie fell silent after hearing this.

"Why are you staying here?" she asked.

"I'd be happy to help some lucky ones if they manage to escape; at least the truth needs to be known, ma'am."

The man handed Natalie a spaceship ticket, hoping she would leave.

"Don't die on Granz. It's not worth your life. The corporation is very powerful. If you don't leave alive, no one will know about the evils on Granz, madam."

"I'd like to ask you to help me find someone named Qi Ran. You should have seen the arrest warrant," Natalie said, handing the man a black card.

"Madam, you are very generous."

The man accepted it. "I know that child. Did he really run away with the monster? How romantic! They must have a complicated love story."

Natalie: "........."

She suddenly felt uneasy about the man.

"Oh, sorry, I prefer reading unusual love stories." The man smiled and told the sea monster to escort Natalie away safely.

After leaving the bar, there was indeed a road leading directly to the spaceship's cargo hold.

The sea monster told Natalie.

"The master was one of the few who was willing to help humans escape. He believed in human mythology and thought that if he did more good deeds, his daughter would have a better life in her next life."

Natalie didn't know what to say, but before leaving, she gave the sea monster a pearl.

The Granz hybrids love Earth's pearls; they consider them priceless treasures.

Upon seeing the round, moon-white pearl, the sea monster was overjoyed. It didn't leave the harbor until the spaceship took off and disappeared from sight.

…………

At the edge of the abyss cave, several monsters were attracted by the scent of humans. Before they could even get close to the strangely shaped house that resembled a bird's nest, they were devoured by five monsters lurking in the shadows.

Qi Ran heard the noise, but didn't have the strength to get up and check.

In these days, his body began to feel unwell, and he was in a daze all day, unable to perceive the passage of time.

Honghong spat out its tentacles, climbed onto the bed, lay down next to Qiran's arm, called out "Mom," and then stopped moving.

After Xiao Hei returned, it fed Qi Ran the detoxifying mucus, but it had no effect.

"I told you long ago, no human can survive here. You want him dead." Us entered and bluntly stated the boy's fate.

"You've fallen for him, but is it impossible for either of you to know?"

After a long silence, Xiao Hei picked up Qi Ran and asked Wu Si, "Can only humans save him?"

"Um."

Us nodded, looking at the boy who was almost lifeless, and was very disappointed in Xiao Hei. "Just leave him near the gate of the orphanage, but not too close."

Little Black left, its figure disappearing into the nest.

The five little ones realized something and tried to chase after them, but were stopped by Us.

"It's no use you sticking to her. Your mother is human. She can't go to the abyss. She'll die. Only human areas are suitable for her to live in."

Us crouched down and touched the weakest Red.

"You can go find him when you can control your form."

"Really?" Honghong asked, stopping her crying and instead whimpering and sobbing.

"Of course, disguise is our survival instinct."

Us looked at the other four. It was obvious that these four only carried Xiao Hei's genes, while only Hong Hong carried a little bit of the boy's genes.

Because she carries human genes, Honghong is weaker than her brothers and not good at fighting monsters, but she is quite intelligent.

When Qi Ran woke up in a daze, she saw the sunlight on Granz Star.

The surrounding trees cast dappled shadows, and he was moving rapidly in Xiao Hei's arms, heading in an unknown direction.

"Little Black".

Qi Ran raised his hand and touched Xiao Hei's cheek. On this face that looked exactly like his, there was a lot more serious and sad expression.

"I'll take you back. Live well, and I'll come to see you again," Xiao Hei said, lowering his head to kiss the boy deeply.

It really wanted to keep him, but if it did, the person it loved most would die.

Xiao Hei was reluctant to part with it.

Since he couldn't adapt to the world in the abyss, it was willing to evolve several times until it could deceive humans, and then reappear before the boy to live with him.

Xiao Hei stopped and gently put the person in his arms down. "Wait for me."

Monsters don't have many bad intentions; they just want to survive and reproduce with their favorite partners.

It didn't understand Qi Ran, but it knew that Qi Ran didn't hate it that much.

Qi Ran weakly squinted, his vision filled with Xiao Hei's blurry face. Xiao Hei lowered its head and kissed him.

The moss after the rain is soft and moist, making it the perfect place to lie down.

Even with excessive weight, it won't feel uncomfortable.

Qi Ran was sometimes awake, and sometimes she heard the monster's gentle breathing, which landed on her eyebrows and eyes, as light as a feather brushing against them.

This is when Xiao Hei is at its gentlest.

Her gentleness was so extreme that Qi Ran couldn't help but become addicted.

But when he woke up, Xiao Hei was no longer by his side. Only a sticky sensation remained on his skin, as if it hadn't left and was still clinging to the treasure, demanding warmth.

Qi Ran got up, dazed, turned on her smart device, looked at the signs, and walked towards the familiar location.
