StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 193 Goodbye, Cecilia

Then a light, fluttering piece of white paper landed in front of him.

Gatana looked up at her, puzzled.

His hands were bound and he couldn't move them, so he couldn't see what was written on the paper with the writing facing down.

Before leaving, Shen Qingqing said, "I hurt you three times in total: once for the Zerg, once for the Zerg Queen, and once for her. She is excellent, even extremely powerful, but she was wrong in dealing with you from beginning to end. She should have nipped you in the bud the moment she saw you."

“But none of that matters anymore,” Shen Qingqing threw the torture instruments on the ground. “Her remains will be cremated and scattered into the Wangxing Mother River in a day. The details are written on a piece of paper. You'd better take care of yourself.”

The door to the cell slammed shut, and the vibrations not only shook the air but also his heart, which was bound by the shackles of the prison.

Outside the detention room, Andor handed her a handkerchief and comforted her, "Qingqing doesn't come here often, so she's probably not used to it yet. Wipe your face first; you've been crying."

Shen Qingqing then realized that tears had been streaming down her face without her noticing.

"Ah."

Tears soaked the white handkerchief, leaving tear stains. Andor silently withdrew the handkerchief and looked at her, saying, "But why did Qingqing tell him about this?"

He couldn't understand why Gatana was a sinner of the Zerg and should receive the punishment he deserved.

At the same time, Gatana is also the Zergling least qualified to see the Queen.

He was not qualified to meet any of the insect queens.

"Because this is his last chance to extinguish his illusions," Shen Qingqing said, expressing her thoughts.

“His obsession is Cecilia, and now that Cecilia is dead, only by letting him see his obsession being scattered into the river can he truly realize how despicable his actions were. Besides, my goal is not to eliminate all of the Zerg's enemies, but to turn them all into allies.”

Faced with their lack of understanding, Shen Qingqing explained, "I didn't say I wanted to forgive what he did to the Zerg. I just wanted to take this opportunity to give him a warning. Only after we have properly buried Cecilia will we truly begin to deal with our final enemy."

On the banks of the Zerg Mother River, only a few Zerg stood at the harbor, watching from afar as a raft made of countless flowers drifted toward the center of the river.

Gatana was among them.

The prolonged lack of sunlight forced him to squint and slowly adjust to the bright light.

Suddenly, a colorful raft appeared in my sight.

The rafts, laden with flowers, sunshine, and fragrance, carried Cecilia to the heart of the river.

Shen Qingqing handed him the flaming arrow.

"Take her away from here. You know what to do."

Gatana was trembling all over, his breathing became rapid, and he instinctively did not want to receive the arrow.

For him to personally send her away was more painful than taking his life!

"What are you still hesitating about? Didn't you already see her off once?"

Shen Qingqing's voice, like a demon's whisper, lingered in his ears. As if possessed, Gatana picked up an arrow, then drew the bowstring taut and charged up.

The arrow pierced the air with a piercing whistle before landing steadily on the bamboo raft in the middle of the river.

The flames burned fiercely until the figure could no longer be seen, until the bamboo raft sank to the bottom of the river.

It wasn't until he saw his hopes dashed that Gatana realized his previous actions had been meaningless.

There weren't many Zerg on the riverbank to begin with, and only a handful were invited to attend the funeral. After they dispersed, only Gatana remained on the riverbank.

He was still staring blankly at Jiang Xin, lost in thought.

He didn't know what had gotten into him that made him pick up the arrow.

Perhaps they didn't want her to fall into the hands of other Zerg.

It could also be due to deep-seated jealousy.

In short, he regretted it.

……

"Qingqing, are you really going to leave him there alone? Aren't you afraid he might do something crazy?"

All Lia knew was that the funeral was held in a hurry, and that Gatana, who was a prisoner of the entire Zerg, was actually released to attend.

What if Gatana, like before, defectes to another tribe and wipes them out?

They can't always escape danger unscathed.

"Lia, you have to believe that he is not that powerful. Everyone has flaws as long as they are alive."

Shen Qingqing was immediately met with opposition from Lia, "I don't want to hear your nonsense. I just want to know why you trust Gatana to keep him here. He clearly doesn't look like a good guy."

"Because he can't recognize his own feelings."

A gentle breeze swept by, and countless pure white Cecilia flowers appeared on the water's surface without anyone noticing.

Inside the underground city, Ge Yuan was ready to dock with the Zerg stranded in outer space on Wang Xing and bring the remaining Zerg to Wang Xing.

"If you had come back any later, you would have seen how that great and arduous monumental project was created!"

Ge Yuan opened the document and asked Andorra to come over for coordination.

He patted him on the shoulder with admiration, "Young man, keep up the good work, you'll definitely have a place next to the Queen of Insects in the future."

“Even if I lie flat, there will still be room,” Andorra said softly.

"Oh! You've finally figured it out?" Ge Yuan said casually. "Hey, you're quite the expert compared to Saenster. He's also pursuing my Qingqing. By the way, I have some firsthand information about Qingqing's hobbies and such. Want a copy?"

"No."

"Don't refuse so quickly! Buying it is a win-win situation. I swear on my name, you definitely won't lose out!"

Ge Yuan persisted in buying firsthand information about the Insect Queen and generously provided the corresponding "Rules of How to Pursue the Insect Queen," which attracted a large number of Zerg to scramble to buy it.

Upon hearing the news of Cecilia's departure, Go Yuan did not show much emotion. Instead, like Andor, she asked how to deal with Gatana next.

“Well… I swear I plan to have Saenster bring him back if he doesn’t come back on his own,” Shen Qingqing said truthfully. “After all, one Gatana has already caused us enough trouble, we can’t let him fall into the hands of other races.”

"To put it bluntly, everything Qingqing told me before was a lie?" Lia crossed her arms. "She made it sound so convincing, but in the end, she forced him to come back when he wasn't coming back."

“It’s different, Lia,” Ge Yuan knew what Shen Qingqing was thinking. “In terms of tactics, this is called ‘since the other party is unwilling to be dignified, then we will help them be dignified,’ which is a kind of roundabout tactic.”

"Alright, alright, being cultured is impressive," Lia decided to obediently go and look at the legal documents she had obtained from other Zerg. "I'm leaving now. Don't call me unless it's for a lawsuit."

Ge Yuan, who witnessed Lia's departure, didn't understand her unusual behavior and asked Shen Qingqing, "What's wrong with her? Why has she suddenly become so studious?"

"It's probably because of pursuing dreams."
