Front legs pressing into the ground, Xi Jin braked emergently. Under the great inertia, the round bug’s butt even bounced a few times. It turned around, eyes filled with a plea for assistance.
However, it was already completely deserted behind him. The figure of its little companion had long disappeared.
The bug’s huge face froze.
In desperate times, people would always explode with unexpected potential. The instant that Nalun realized that something wasn’t quite right, his body already moved faster than his mind, and dodged into a flower shop nearby.
This shop didn’t look like a very busy business. The front of the shop was small with only one shop clerk inside. The shop clerk was currently giving Nalun a dubious expression.
This kind of completely bundled up man, from head to toe, looked really extremely suspicious.
Nalun said: “I want to buy flowers.”
So this was only a customer trying to buy flowers.
The shop clerk relaxed and asked professionally: “Is this a gift? We have a variety of different flowers here, each with different meanings in flower language. Look, this one is……”
Nalun stopped the shop clerk’s enthusiastic introduction and said coolly: “When giving flowers, the receiver and the meaning doesn’t matter. I’m more preferential towards seeing the flower itself.”
The shop clerk was befuddled: “Ah?”
Nalun: “Let me pick for myself.”
His tone sounded very gentle. When picking the flowers, he was also very calm. However, only he knew at this moment, just how fast his heart was beating. He walked in front of the shelves and looked at the gorgeous bundles of flowers, thoughts flying by swiftly–
Why would the military be guarding here?
It’s not like they expected someone to come rescue the bug, right?
Even if Sirius could predict the future, there’s no need to make such a big display.
It was only an incident of a bug attacking a human. Xi Jin’s identity was also only just a bug. No matter what, it shouldn’t be an existence that’s enough to attract the military’s heavy attention.
Sirius wasn’t someone to make a big fuss over a minor issue. Nalun was very certain of this.
There must be something that he didn’t know.

A huge bug attack versus an Insectoid attack, the latter was much more serious.
Recently, the Insectoids and the Empire’s relationship has been extremely tense. There have been many conflicts at the borders of the two territories.
First put aside the fact that after these bugs finished devouring their mother planet, they started coveting Asha Empire’s mineral planets; just in terms of race, there’s basic innate differences—
If you must know, the people of Asha generally didn’t have very good impressions towards giant insect species.
Was it possible that Xi Jin had already been exposed?
But there’s no reason to mobilize that many people, right?
Recalling how overjoyed that fat bug was after seeing him, Nalun’s mood instantly became complicated.
However, now wasn’t the time to consider this issue. Acting like an ostrich definitely couldn’t resolve the problem either. If he kept hiding inside the shop, Sirius’s lackeys would end up searching here sooner or later.
He needed to figure out a plan to leave this street.
Within the flower shop, Nalun could almost smell the heavy sweet aroma in the air. Casually, Nalun picked out a bundle of flowers and went to pay the bill in a natural manner.
“Add 3 yuan and you can receive a rose. Do you want to bring it back to give to your lover?”
Nalun shook his head, a low and urgent tone coming out from under his mask: “To be honest, there’s a stalker that’s been following me this entire time. From LuoRi Volcano to Langdon Street.”
The shop clerk: “……” Sure enough, something dubious was happening here!
After a strange moment of silence, the shop clerk attempted to find the right words to reply. After racking their brains, they discovered there wasn’t anything appropriate in mind.
Nalun said: “I need assistance.”
The shop clerk handed over the landline, saying: “Please press 1 to call the police.”
Nalun said: “Even the most efficient police officers need time to get here. He has already attacked me once just now. Right now, it’s very likely he’s waiting outside.”
The shop clerk opened his mouth hesitantly: “Then……you can wait inside the shop?”
Nalun declined: “That affects you too much.”
The shop clerk: “……”
Nalun: “Sorry.”
The shop clerk: “What, what is it?”
Nalun raised his hand and slowly reached behind his neck, saying gently: “I need to borrow something.”
The shop clerk swallowed uncontrollably, throat trembling: “What is it?”
Nalun abruptly struck, knocking that person out in an instant.
He pulled out his contact and found a person’s contact number. After that, he took off the personal comp from the shop clerk’s wrist and dialed a number.
After a moment of dial tone, the call was very quickly answered.
Sirius’s voice traveled through the comp and into Nalun’s ear. Just like Sirius himself, Sirius’s voice was cold, his manner distant.
“Who is it?”
Nalun changed his voice a few octaves higher and sharper: “Animal protection society. I’m a member of the insect branch.”
The other side remained silent for a good while: “What branch?”
“The insect branch.”
Sirius: “……” When did the Animal Protection Society get all these strange little branches?
Nalun went directly to the main point: “I received a report that you guys are transporting a rare alien insect into custody, and furthermore, have adopted some extreme methods that might have caused severe harm towards it.”
Sirius: “I’m more curious about why you know my phone number.”
Nalun: “We have a misunderstanding here. I hope we can sit down and discuss.”
Sirius: “You should be on Langdon street just like me. Where do you want to talk?”
Nalun gave the name of a restaurant: “I’m at the right most private room, waiting for you.”
After saying this, he hung up the call without waiting for Sirius’s response.
The restaurant that he gave was on the other side of the street, which was actually rather far from here. As for the private room inside, that was completely wild talk used just for distraction.
Dragging the unconscious shop clerk behind the shelf, Nalun swiftly exchanged their clothes. In addition, he put the personal comp back where it belonged.
“The Imperial Admiral’s contact number. Just consider it my fee for using your personal comp.” He even thoughtfully labeled it with Sirius Monte’s full name.
After wearing the shop clerk’s clothes, Nalun put on his mask, sunglasses, and hat again. Running to the back storage area, he discovered that this shop had actually insanely blocked off the backdoor.
Fortunately, there was a window that led to the street in the back.
Nalun nimbly jumped onto the windowsill and looked outside. Because of a terrain issue, outside was much higher off the ground than inside. He took a deep breath and jumped down– However, before he even did any preparations to cushion the landing, a swift shadow appeared and caught him.
Nalun froze.
A familiar face appeared before his view. His head instantly blanked. This familiar, completely caught-off-guard feeling!
“Sirius?”
Where did he jump out from this time?
Sirius placed down the person he caught, gaze landing on Nalun: “You recognize me?”
Nalun: “The Admiral’s image and prestige is widespread throughout the Empire. There shouldn’t be anyone who doesn’t recognize you.”
Sirius paused for a long time.
“It’s you.” There was a certainty in his voice. It was a tone like Sirius had already ascertained this as a fact.
Even though this person had changed clothes, he still wore the mask, sunglasses, and hat…… This person has practically reached a terrifying realm regarding hiding his face. Bundled up completely, from head to toe, was extremely eye-catching. It was hard for Sirius to not recognize him.
“The bug’s accomplice.” Sirius pointed out his identity and then asked: “Didn’t you agree to meet me in the private room of a restaurant?”
With a stiffened face, Nalun put on a bewildered look: “I was just heading towards the location of our appointment.”
