Male Lead, Please Don’t Covet the Mob Character Cannon Fodder (Quick Transmigration) - Chapter 22

“Bai Gu’s death can only be considered his own fault. I will not blame the Guard Team for negligence,” Bai Lin said, looking at the tall young man standing before the laboratory bench. A glint of predatory determination flashed in his eyes. “The priority now is ‘Fuxi.’ Bai Gu injected him with an excessive dose of estrus inducer, and he is currently in an extremely violent and irritable state.”

“If he is not pacified in time, we might lose this precious experimental subject. If the Federation Council seeks accountability then, none of us will escape.”

Hearing the underlying meaning in Bai Lin’s words, Qingshi narrowed his eyes. “Is there a way to pacify ‘Fuxi’?”

Bai Lin smiled at Qingshi. “I have no way to comfort ‘Fuxi,’ but you can.”

“Me?” Qingshi pressed his right hand against the heavy energy gun at his waist. His deep blue gaze turned into sharp blades directed at Bai Lin. “What can I do?”

“Captain Ji, do not be in such a hurry,” Bai Lin said. He casually found a chair and sat down before continuing. “Male Heinos Nagas have a habit of injecting their hormones into a chosen mate to mark them and deter others.”

Qingshi was slightly stunned. He instinctively thought of the wound the male lead had bitten into his left wrist. Could it be that at that time?

Bai Lin crossed his hands over his stomach and leaned back in the chair, looking quite relaxed. “I specifically chose Bai Gu, a student with Taipan snake genes, to see ‘Fuxi’ just to induce his mating response.”

“What I did not expect was that ‘Fuxi’ had already chosen a mate the moment he woke up.” Qingshi could feel the corner of Bai Lin’s gaze lingering on him. “Logically speaking, Captain Ji, your falcon genes should be the natural enemy of snakes, just like how you and my student could not stand each other.”

“However, our understanding of Heinos Nagas is limited after all. Perhaps this unique intelligent species has already jumped out of the biological chain. After all, they are rumored to be the form closest to ‘God’.”

After listening to a bunch of nonsense, Qingshi pressed his tongue against his cheek. “So, Mr. Bai Lin, after saying all that, what do you need me to do?”

“For the next few days, I hope Captain Ji can stay in the same room as ‘Fuxi’ and use your scent to pacify him.”

Stay in the same room? Qingshi almost instinctively recalled the male lead’s kiss that felt as if it would swallow him whole. His pupils trembled. “No.”

Bai Lin seemed to see his hesitation and added, “Rest assured, Captain Ji, you only need to stay with ‘Fuxi.’ You do not need to do anything else.”

“…” Qingshi bit his teeth. Since it was the male lead, he could not just watch him suffer. “Fine, I agree.”

A few wrinkles appeared at the corners of Bai Lin’s eyes. “Captain Ji is truly noble. I hope you can go to ‘Fuxi’ as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the higher the probability of an accident.”

Qingshi nodded to acknowledge him and retreated to the door to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned back to ask, “Is there a specific time limit for the few days Mr. Bai Lin mentioned?”

Bai Lin’s expression was peaceful, like a kind uncle next door. This appearance often made people forget that the genes of a wolf resided in his body; a greedy, devious wolf that would stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

Looking at the little bird that was about to fall into the net without knowing it, the corners of his mouth curled into a strange arc. “Three days.”

“Alright.”

Qingshi handed most of the base permissions to Deputy Captain Vincent and arranged the base work for the next few days overnight to ensure the normal operation of the base while he was away.

After finishing the handover, he went to find Bai Lin without stopping to prepare for pacifying the male lead.

“‘Fuxi’ is inside. Please, Captain Ji.” Bai Lin opened the door of the alloy-made confinement room and made an inviting gesture.

Qingshi looked into the pitch-black space, sighed, and walked in without looking back.

The confinement room was originally a place where guard members who made major mistakes received punishment. It was surrounded by the strongest composite alloy metal in the Alliance. The male lead, whose danger level had risen several levels, could no longer be kept in the Research Park, so he was placed here.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Qingshi pulled a dim lamp out of his watch space and observed the place he rarely visited.

The room was small, barely 50 square meters. Once the door closed, it became an airtight space. On the top right of the door was a red button. Pressing it would connect to the duty staff in the external central control room. This was the only channel of communication between the people inside and the outside world because the alloy walls contained a signal interference device. Usually, communicators could not receive signals inside.

Further up was a square object encased in a black box. Qingshi guessed it should be a protected microphone device.

The male lead was confined to the innermost wall. His hands, waist, and most of his tail were locked by composite alloy metal protruding from the wall in a Ge shape. The tip of his tail hung motionlessly on the floor.

Qingshi held the lamp and walked closer to take a few looks. The male lead’s head was slightly lowered, and his eyes were closed, as if he had not yet regained consciousness. The originally terrifying wounds on his body had almost healed.

What an amazing healing speed.

Mounting the lamp on the wall next to the male lead, Qingshi pulled out a chair and sat down. He then took out a paper book and began to flip through it slowly.

Ignoring the environment, it could be said to be a leisurely holiday.

Perhaps because he was suddenly liberated from busy work and the surroundings were excessively quiet, Qingshi fell asleep unknowingly.

When he felt a strange movement at his ankle, he woke up abruptly. His foot quickly stepped on the thing touching him.

Looking down, it was a section of a dark green tail tip, wiggling slightly under his foot, trying to climb up his leg.

Qingshi looked toward the wall where the male lead was confined and indeed saw that the male lead’s deep emerald, almost black, eyes were already open.

“Qing… qing…”

The thin lips moved slightly, revealing the tips of two sharp tubular teeth inside.

Qingshi gave him a disdainful look, then turned back to flip through the book in his hand.

“Qing…”

The tail under his foot was still squirming, but the strength was not great. It seemed he did not want to break free, but only wanted to catch Qingshi’s attention.

The male lead’s nagging calls reached his ears. Qingshi frowned impatiently and increased the force of his foot. “Be quiet.”

The tip of the tail clearly paused for a moment, then slumped aggrievedly on the ground and stopped moving.

Jia closed his mouth and stopped trying to call his mate’s name. He looked at his mate’s flickering profile under the dim light, feeling only a surge of heat in his heart.

A flick of his forked tongue captured the sweet scent on his mate. The estrus symptoms that had been forcibly suppressed showed signs of a comeback, but…

Jia looked at the alloy metal binding him. Just wait a little longer. Wait for him.

During the three days Qingshi stayed in the confinement room, earth-shaking changes occurred in the outside world.

Meng Xi pushed open the door of Bai Lin’s laboratory aggressively and slammed a fist onto the laboratory bench in front of him. “Bai Lin, on what grounds did you take over the base? Where is Qingshi? What did you do to him?!”

Bai Lin glanced at him emotionlessly. “Did your teacher teach you to respect your seniors like this, Researcher Meng?”

“Cut the crap!” Meng Xi grabbed Bai Lin’s collar and lifted him up. “Tell me now, where did you put Qingshi?!”

“Captain Ji volunteered to participate in a secret experiment. The Council handed the acting authority of Dawn Base over to me.” Bai Lin unhurriedly opened his communicator and pulled out an appointment letter stamped with an official seal.

“This…” Seeing that bright red Federation Council seal, Meng Xi released Bai Lin’s collar and stepped back two steps. He asked in confusion, “But I have always been the one responsible for Qingshi. How could he agree to your experiment and not tell me?”

Bai Lin slowly straightened his messy collar. “Researcher Meng, one should not think of oneself as too important.”

“You!” Meng Xi looked at Bai Lin angrily. After gritting his teeth hard, he turned and left. “Do not let me catch you doing anything wrong!”

Behind him, Bai Lin showed a half-smile and muttered, “What a poor fellow.”

In an unnoticed corner, a piece of flesh the size of a fingernail with dark green scales, soaking in transparent liquid, suddenly twitched a few times. It was so fast it seemed like an illusion.

Three days passed in a flash. Qingshi had enjoyed a rare period of relaxation. The only regret was that no shower was installed in the confinement room. Although there was an automatic cleaning device, Qingshi still preferred the sensation of hot water on his body.

What made Qingshi a bit puzzled was that Bai Lin said the male lead was in a violent and irritable state, but he saw no sign of this at all.

During the three days he spent with the male lead, the creature was quiet and perfectly normal.

However, just in case, Qingshi still stayed there for the full three days before preparing to leave.

He pressed the red button at the door, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear a response from the central control room, and the door showed no sign of opening.

Qingshi looked at the microphone above and frowned in confusion.

What was going on? Did something happen outside?

“Ahem.”

Just as Qingshi was making worried, wild guesses, a human voice suddenly came from the microphone overhead. “Captain Ji, these three days must have been quite pleasant.”

Although the voice was altered and diluted by an electric current, Qingshi still recognized who the voice belonged to. “Mr. Bai Lin, what is the meaning of this? You are not letting me out?”

“Haha, Captain Ji, do not be in a hurry. It is mainly because there is an important study that requires your participation.” Bai Lin’s mood was clearly very good, his smile obvious.

An ominous premonition suddenly surfaced in Qingshi’s heart. He glared at the microphone and shouted, “Bai Lin! What did you do to Vincent and the others?”

“Oh, those disobedient fellows have been thrown into the icy sea.” Bai Lin lightly dropped a bombshell.

“Bang!” Qingshi smashed a fist against the composite alloy door and said through gritted teeth, “Bai Lin, how dare you! Are you not afraid that your actions will be known by the Council?!”

Bai Lin smiled faintly. “How does Captain Ji know that the Council is unaware of everything I am doing? Do you think I could take control of such a large base by myself?”

Qingshi’s eyes widened slightly, and his body could not help but shiver. “You… what on earth do you want to do?”

“Captain Ji, I learned from reviewing materials recently that the Heinos Naga tribe has a characteristic,” the triumphant Bai Lin slowly revealed secret information that the Federation’s high-level officials had never publicized. “There are no females in their tribe. Can you guess how they reproduce?”

Qingshi’s heart jolted. He instinctively turned back to look at where the male lead was. In the darkness, those emerald green vertical pupils were exceptionally prominent.

After a long silence, he used his dry throat to ask back, “How do they reproduce?”
