Chapter 597: Taking an Oath in Your Name

~7 min read 1,296 words

"Long-jointed Centipede? What is that?"

Yingzhou always felt this term was strange, especially hearing these words from the mouth of an Alien Race.

"Hahaha, that was an inspiration we gained in the Sixth Defense Zone during our battles with the Alien Race. Although the meat of the Long-jointed Centipede cannot be called delicious.

However, it wins in its sheer quantity, and the meat of the Long-jointed Centipede is renewable. Because Long-jointed Centipedes cannot be killed, after you cut the meat from their bodies, you only need to wait a period of time, and the meat of the Long-jointed Centipede will grow back again. It is very useful."

Hearing what this attendant said, Yingzhou always felt these words sounded so familiar?

Isn't this the method mentioned in the short videos from his past life about how to eat meat without killing? It's a real-life version of death by a thousand cuts! These Aliens are truly perverted!

Then what is the Long-jointed Centipede they speak of? Could it be...

"Councilor Li Feiyu, if you are interested, you can have Lord Heertui take you to visit the Long-jointed Centipede farm."

Yingzhou did not answer the attendant's words, his gaze noticing the pattern engraved on the handle of the silver spoon, which looked just like a human face watching him.

When Yingzhou touched the spoon, he felt the meatballs seemed to change direction.

This attendant began to add seasoning to the meat soup. After finishing the seasoning, he took a bowl with gold-rimmed patterns to serve the soup, with a few meatballs floating inside.

"Councilor Li Feiyu, drink this meat soup while it's hot; it won't taste good once it's cold."

The attendant handed the bowl to Yingzhou, saying this without the slightest change in his signature smile.

Yingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the attendant, with no intention of drinking the soup.

"Is Councilor Li Feiyu worried that there is something wrong with this meat soup? If you don't mind, I can taste it for you first."

Yingzhou smiled and nodded, watching the attendant's performance.

Seeing the attendant drink a bowl of meat soup, he then served another bowl of meat soup and handed it to Yingzhou.

"What a delicious meat soup, please have a taste."

Yingzhou gathered Spiritual Power into his eyes and saw a tentacle with an eyeball extending from behind the attendant's true form, which was wrapped in green energy; that eyeball was recording every move Yingzhou made.

"Many thanks, I will have a taste."

Yingzhou took the bowl of meat soup, slowly brought it to his mouth, and downed the meat soup in one gulp, including the two meatballs.

As the meat soup entered his throat, Yingzhou secretly used his Spiritual Power to form a filter net in his throat, burning all the meatballs he had swallowed.

Yingzhou pretended to swallow with enjoyment on the surface, while actually sealing the toxins in an isolated area of Spiritual Power in his stomach.

"That will do. I am not very hungry. If there is nothing else, I would like to rest for a while."

Upon seeing Yingzhou drink the meat soup, the attendant also very nimbly took the tray and left Yingzhou's room.

After the attendant left, Yingzhou went to the bathroom. After confirming there were no surveillance devices from the Alien Race in the bathroom, he vomited the meat soup he had just drunk.

With the aid of Spiritual Power, Yingzhou saw the hair mixed into those meatballs, confirming the guess he had just made in his heart.

"Phew... stay calm... for the sake of the Task reward, let you jump around for a while longer!"

A wisp of flame appeared in Yingzhou's hand, burning all the food he had vomited out.

The next morning.

Yingzhou opened his eyes on the chair, stood up, and stretched his body; a series of cracking sounds rang out.

"Those Aliens don't seem to have any intention of coming to find me. The meat soup they gave me yesterday was very strange. Are they waiting for my reaction? But, last night's meat soup didn't have very strong energy fluctuations..."

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just at this moment, a rhythmic knocking sounded, which made Yingzhou raise an eyebrow.

"Could it be they were waiting for me to wake up in the room? I didn't use this bed last night; I'd better mess it up first."

Yingzhou simply left some wrinkles on the bed, then walked to the door and opened it, only to see Heertui, dressed in a pitch-black formal suit, looking at him with a smile.

"Councilor Li Feiyu, I wonder how you slept last night? Are you accustomed to it? By the way, how was the taste of the Long-jointed Centipede meat soup?"

The series of questions made Yingzhou ponder the meaning behind Heertui asking this. After letting Heertui enter the room, Yingzhou sat on the chair and said to Heertui.

"It was fine. Are there any arrangements for today?"

Heertui looked Yingzhou up and down. Instead of answering Yingzhou's question, his pupils suddenly turned pale green, and he said to Yingzhou in a highly seductive tone.

"Councilor Li Feiyu, do you yearn for Human Civilization to be saved?"

Yingzhou felt a slight energy fluctuation impact him; this energy fluctuation was exactly the same as the Alien food he had vomited up last night.

Is it trying to see if I am currently controlled? How should I act so as not to reveal any flaws?

"I do! It is precisely because of this that I have made contact with you!"

Heertui did not expect this Li Feiyu to be so cooperative; it seems his entry point this time was very accurate.

This is a very good start. Once this Li Feiyu consumes more Long-jointed Centipede meat soup, the certainty of turning him into a perfect Puppet will increase by several points.

"Very good, Councilor Li Feiyu. Are you willing to take an Oath in your own name? You must consider it carefully; once you take this step, there will be no turning back."

As he spoke, Heertui took a string of beads made of emerald green stones from his bosom, handed it to Yingzhou, and slowly began to speak.

It doesn't matter, what does the Oath taken by Li Feiyu have to do with me, Yingzhou?

Hearing Heertui say such cringey words, Yingzhou swallowed back all the things he wanted to complain about and slowly said.

"I am willing! What should I do?"

"Next, repeat after me. I, Li Feiyu, take an Oath in my own name."

Yingzhou looked at the cringey Heertui and said to him.

"But, I am the one named Li Feiyu. You used my name, so whose name should I use?"

Heertui was stunned, looked at Yingzhou, took a deep breath, and said.

"I am just telling you what you should say; don't worry about these details. Say what I just taught you."

"I, Li Feiyu, take an Oath in my own name!"

"For the sake of Human Civilization, I am willing to abandon everything and accept all power that can help Humans!"

"For the sake of Human Civilization, I am willing to abandon everything and accept all power that can help Humans!"

"If I violate this, the stone beads engraved with my name will take my life!"

"If I violate this, the stone string engraved with my name shall take my life!"

Just after Li Feiyu followed Heertui in swearing the Oath, the stone string in Heertui's hand emitted a burst of emerald green light, and the three characters "Li Feiyu" appeared on a larger stone on the string.

"Very good, Councilor Li Feiyu. I greatly admire your conviction to sacrifice everything for the Human race. Believe me, your ideals will certainly be realized!"
