Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

Lin Luo's first reaction was that his special mental power had been exposed!

But that's not right. Only he, Elland, Parks, Hawke, and the Marshal know about this!

None of them seem like the kind of insects that could leak this information!

Could it be...?

Red-haired Bug took Lin Luo's silence as unwillingness. He thought to himself with sarcasm, "Of course, how could a high and mighty male bug, a superior male bug, be willing to give mental comfort to a lowly and vile space pirate?"

However, he had no choice in the matter!

Red-haired Worm's tone suddenly turned cold, his words carrying a threat:

"Lord Lin Luo, the place you are standing on is a starship, and outside is the vast universe. With just a thought from me, you could 'accidentally' disappear into the sea of ​​stars, and the Empire wouldn't even be able to find a fragment of you."

He paced closer, his voice lowered:

"And... that Major General Ailand, I heard he's badly injured? It seems you're deeply in love with him? While I'd be happy to bless this strange couple, however..."

He paused deliberately, appreciating the slight change in Lin Luo's expression, before slowly adding, "Whether there is a future between you two depends entirely on your 'decision' right now."

The fragments of Ailand's consciousness, hidden within Lin Luo's body, flickered slightly upon hearing this.

Faced with these repeated threats, Lin Luo forced himself to remain calm.

A hint of hesitation appeared on his face, as if he were puzzled: "Why... of all people?"

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Red-haired Bug's tone also became more gentle:

"That's a question you'll have to ask yourself, Lord Lin Luo. Who gave you such a big reputation on the StarNet now?"

"Moreover, you are an A-grade male insect, yet you don't even have a female ruler or female servant by your side. With such a 'clean' background, it's naturally the most convenient for you to make a move."

Hearing this, Lin Luo's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

They didn't know! They only valued his rank, not the special nature of his mental power.

This is truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; if the latter had been found out, he probably would have truly never been able to go back.

Lin Luo looked almost laughing in anger. He raised an eyebrow slightly: "So, according to you, I deserved it?"

Red-haired Worm actually nodded seriously: "Indeed, Your Excellency should reflect on your actions."

"Even if I helped you," Lin Luo cut to the heart of the matter, his tone clearly betraying distrust.

"How can I trust that you will keep your promise and safely take me back afterward?"

"I guarantee this in the name of the Thorn Pirates." Red-haired Bug said solemnly.

Lin Luo found it ridiculous: "You expect me to believe the reputation of a space pirate crew that kidnapped me?"

Red-haired Worm shrugged nonchalantly, his demeanor one of utter confidence: "You have no choice but to believe it, after all, sir."

Lin Luo looked directly into the red-haired worm's eyes: "Soothing the mental sea, you know that it requires the physical union of the male and female worms, right?"

Red-haired Bug looked back at him without hesitation: "Of course, but don't worry, you don't have to accept him afterward."

"As long as he wakes up and his mental state recovers to more than 50%, we will definitely send you back to the capital unharmed."

"You can completely pretend you've never met him and forget this unpleasant experience entirely."

Seeing Lin Luo remain silent, he added:

"Although the probability is extremely low, in case... there really is an insect egg, you can rest assured that we will never let it disturb your life."

"We will absolutely not allow your distinguished status to have any unnecessary association with space pirates. Just consider it a dream, how about that?"

Red-haired worm patiently persuaded him, but inwardly he thought to himself: I've really gone to great lengths. If my brother hadn't been unconscious and unable to move, I could have let him rape me instead of causing this much trouble!

Male insects are just being dramatic!

Lin Luo caught the message in his words: "The female insect you want me to soothe is unconscious?"

The red-haired worm nods.

"Do you know that appeasement requires a combination of approaches?"

Red-haired Worm nodded again: "Of course."

"..." Lin Luo gave him a look.

Under Lin Luo's gaze, he finally belatedly understood the unspoken words: how could a comatose female insect perform a "combination" that required the cooperation of both parties?

He looked away somewhat awkwardly, raising his hand to his lips: "Ahem, then I'll trouble you... to take the initiative."

Red-haired Worm walked to the wall, pressed a hidden button, and a sliding door opened silently, revealing the scene inside.

Lin Luo observed the room. It had a simple style, with carpets on the floor, necessary furniture, and a large bed in the middle.

Lying on the bed was a female insect. Her face was completely different from the free and unrestrained red-haired insect. Even in her coma, she exuded a rigid seriousness, and her face showed signs of vicissitude.

"Is there surveillance footage?" Lin Luo asked directly.

"No," the red-haired worm answered crisply, "I wouldn't install such a thing for the sake of a female's dignity."

"Then," Lin Luo pointed to the table, "bring over a jamming device and put it here."

"?" Red-haired worm looked puzzled.

"For double protection, we'll install a jammer, not only for his privacy but also for mine," Lin Luo insisted.

Red-haired Worm stared at Lin Luo for a moment, then agreed: "Okay."

He immediately sent a message to his subordinates, and soon the female insect who had led the way came over with something and respectfully handed it to the red-haired insect.

Red-haired Bug activated the jammer, confirmed the indicator light was on, and handed Lin Luo a brand-new personal computer, his tone slightly mocking: "Give it a try, cautious Lord Lin Luo."

Lin Luo ignored his taunts and quickly started operating the personal terminal.

All external communications were locked, and no video or audio recordings could be made, which put him at ease.

"Alright, you can go now. Don't open the door until this time tomorrow," Lin Luo said to the red-haired worm.

The red-haired worm seemed to have never been "commanded" like this before and looked very uncomfortable.

"Then I hope that Lord Lin Luo will remember not to try to vent his anger on him."

"Although he was unconscious, his unconscious resistance was enough to severely injure or even kill a male insect."

"Of course," Lin Luo affirmed.

Finally, the red-haired bug gave Lin Luo a deep look, then suddenly snatched the quantum computer from Lin Luo's hand and turned to leave.

The room door then locked automatically.

Lin Luo relaxed and slowly sat down on the sofa next to her. She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully sorted out every detail from when she was kidnapped until now.

In fact, he noticed something was off from the beginning; this so-called pirate group was far too disciplined.

Even a male insect as ignorant as him knows that most real space pirates are disorganized and chaotic.

The female insect that led him not only kept a complete secret, but her actions also subtly resembled those of a female soldier.

Perhaps because Ailand is a military female, he can clearly distinguish the differences in various habits between ordinary females and military females.

What's even more unusual is their attitude towards themselves.

Ordinary space pirates, upon seeing this "higher male insect," would probably be like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat, clamoring to "enjoy" it.

In the eyes of space pirates, it doesn't matter what class or class you are; once captured, you're all just "consumables."

But the red-haired leader seemed to be trying hard to convince himself that they were a group of space pirates, and powerful ones at that.

Whether they're using the name of space pirates to intimidate or have another hidden identity, it's best to cooperate with their performance and not dig too deep.

After all, the more you know, the faster you die.
