StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 192 Visitation

"No, Qingqing, don't listen to his nonsense... I keep my word!"

Saenster hurriedly tried to explain, but it was no match for Andorra's sharp retort.

"But I just heard that some insect wants to have a beauty contest with me. What's going on?"

Andor's height of 1.7 meters is somewhat lacking compared to Saenster, but he is young enough and is also a modified insect, whose height can be customized in the future. Therefore, compared to Saenster, Andor feels that he still has a certain advantage.

When the two of them stood together, they looked like two slices of bread, sandwiching Shen Qingqing, who was like a meat pie, in the middle.

The familiar pose is back again.

Just like when it was born, it was sandwiched between Saenster and Michel.

Shen Qingqing insisted that she had legs and could walk on her own, and asked Andor to put her down.

But the tension between the two males was palpable, and Andor pretended not to hear, continuing his verbal sparring with Saenster.

"Could you all speak one at a time?" Shen Qingqing said helplessly, rubbing her temples.

The two of them chattered away like birds.

In the sudden silence of the path, Saenster raised three fingers of his right hand to the sky and swore, "I will accuse Andor of adultery and defiling the Zerg, a crime that cannot be forgiven!"

"Never mind, never mind." Shen Qingqing genuinely felt that the Saenster in front of her was like a completely different person, utterly different from the cold and distant one she had met at first.

"By the way, how is Gatana?"

Shen Qingqing had been busy with her livestream and the Zerg's financial affairs for the past few days and hadn't heard any news about Gatana, which made her curious.

Andor used his free hand to access the information. "He hasn't caused any trouble in the last few days, he's just kept saying he wants to see Lady Cecilia."

Then the screen changed.

Gatana's arms were bound behind his back with chains. His once proud head was now bowed, and his long gray hair fell to the ground. A few pale rays of light shone through the narrow window of the cell onto the cold floor, adding to his vulnerability.

The sound of entering the cell door caught Gatana's attention.

When he looked up and saw Saenster and Andor behind Shen Qingqing, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to take sides so quickly, Andor. Is it the Fourth Elder's idea or your own will? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to the Queen Insect."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't had water for a long time.

The Zerg will not give a kind look to someone who betrays the Zerg and the Zerg Queen.

Therefore, the insects responsible for guarding him during his imprisonment did not care whether he lived or died, since the superiors had ordered that as long as he didn't die, it was fine.

Forget about water and food; the Zerg are a bit poor right now and can't afford to worry about Gatana.

Fortunately, the Zerg can survive for months without food, so Gatana still has the strength to talk to them.

“Looks like you’ve been having too much fun these past few days,” Andor didn’t answer him, but instead started picking through the torture instruments hanging on the wall. “Do you prefer the cold or the hot?”

“He must be cold. This is a good opportunity to loosen up his muscles,” Saenster said.

Although the two insects usually didn't get along, they were surprisingly in agreement on how to deal with the Gatana matter.

Andor carefully selected a long whip and made the choice for Gatana without waiting for his reply.

"I prefer simpler styles."

Andor spoke, his fingertips tracing the gleaming silver barbs on the whip.

The whip looked ordinary, but it was covered with fine barbs of varying lengths, and even smaller barbs pointing in the opposite direction. If it were lashed out at a person, it would be enough to tear off a piece of flesh.

Even if the Zerg have exoskeletons for protection, being struck by such a torture device will still leave a mark.

Moreover, Gatana's exoskeleton had already been removed from his body by Andorr himself while he was imprisoned.

The hard exoskeleton was ripped off his flesh alive, damaging his body and his spirit. In addition, Andor used a lot of drugs to maintain his condition so as not to leave any marks.

So, apart from his pale complexion and hoarse voice, there was nothing wrong with Gatana as he appeared before Shen Qingqing.

She thought the Zerg had not actually tortured him.

She was even considering whether to personally whip him a few times to vent her anger.

Seeing this, Andorra, who was standing nearby, very considerately handed her the long whip.

To show that he had good eyesight, he even dipped his finger in chili water.

The main feature is the alternation of hot and cold.

"Snapped!"

At first, she didn't get the technique and almost fell over when she tried to swing it.

During the battle in Andorra, she held a handle behind her and taught her how to use it.

After trying twice, Shen Qingqing said she had already mastered it, so Andor let go.

The second lash produced a small but noticeable crackling sound, but unfortunately, it still missed its target.

So Saenster, who was standing behind Gatana kneeling on the ground, kicked him hard in the back.

"Don't you have any self-awareness? Don't you know you should keep whipping her?"

Gatana was extremely humiliated. Not only was he being used as a live target for practice, but he was also being insulted by his opponent.

But he still wouldn't let it go, "Heh, I thought you were so great, but this is all the strength you've got?... Uh! No way, that's really pathetic..."

Although because Shen Qingqing was relatively weak, the blows landed on him without causing any pain.

But as his words became increasingly provocative, before Andor could even make a move, Saenster took the whip handle and began the actual torture without saying a word.

One red mark after another appeared on his body. Only the surface healed, while the inside was completely mangled and bloody. Gatana was subjected to such intensive torture, and bloodstains were faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.

But he still refused to back down, and even refused to lower his head, boldly continuing to look at Shen Qingqing, who was being protected by Andorra, with a defiant gaze.

"The Insect Queen is just a parasite that hides behind the insect race... cough cough, I don't like you, I just... like the smell of you all..."

He remained stubborn, even though he could no longer sense Cecilia's presence from Shen Qingqing.

“Stop, Saenster,” Shen Qingqing told him to stop, then squatted down in front of Gatana and looked him straight in the eye. “Cecilia is dead, killed forever by you, and so is the Zerg.”

"Heh, so what?"

Gatana uttered a few broken words from his throat, "I love the Queen, I only love her as the Queen. If any other insectoid were the Queen, I would love another insectoid as well."

"you are lying."

Shen Qingqing tugged at the chain binding his neck. "Don't try to use this excuse to hide your true feelings, Gatana. Admit it, you've fallen in love with her. This feeling has nothing to do with identity, pheromones, or anything else. It's just because her name is Cecilia."

"But now, she has disappeared from my mental realm."

Shen Qingqing walked to the door and turned back to say, "Whether you believe it or not, the facts are already set. If you don't intend to tell me the internal information of the Wolf Clan, that's fine. I can wait until the Zerg regains its glory and tramples the Wolf Clan underfoot again."
