Lop-Eared Guard – 22

18th Aug 2022

Warning // physical violence

Yan Yi took a breath and used all his strength to stand up. He picked up an iron bat from behind the door and dragged it on the ground as he climbed down the wooden stairs one step at a time. 

The first thing he saw downstairs was Gu Wei stepping on a stool with half a broken sharp bottle of wine in his right hand. He pointed the sharp edges towards the door, his breaths short as he cursed severely, “Causing trouble every month, are we not doing business anymore?”

There were still small groups of customers in the shop who were shrinking behind the round tables that were toppled over, trembling as they hid. However, they were carried out one by one to be interrogated by the alphas who wore leather jackets. 

They were led by a J1 differentiated locust alpha with a golden-dyed mohawk. 

The locust alpha picked up a detection needle and lifted up the hiding customers one by one, scanning everyone’s glands before tossing them aside like they were garbage. 

“Go. Search upstairs.” The locust alpha waved his hand and the five J1 differentiated alphas followed up the wooden stairs.  

“Hey, you can’t just run up there.” Gu Wei was afraid that it would be dangerous for Yan Yi alone upstairs. He reached out and grabbed the locust alpha’s arm, instantly releasing oppressive pheromones in that moment while letting out his J1 differentiative ability at the same time. 

Once the husky alpha’s J1 differentiative ability was released, any object that came into contact with his fingers would turn into several broken pieces in an instant. 

The locust alpha’s sleeves made a sound of leather tearing apart. He turned around and gouged Gu Wei out with his eyes, withdrawing his hand in time and then threw a swift and forceful leg out at Gu Wei.  

Gu Wei subconsciously warded it off. The gland cells’ awakened biological characteristics of a locust gave the owner the attribute of developed hind legs. No one could avoid their leg-sweep. Gu Wei abruptly hit the wall. He put his hand on the high stool in a hurry, and the high stool instantly turned into pieces. 

The locust alpha turned and carefully looked Gu Wei up and down, scorning, “A J1 differentiated puppy dares to bark at us?”

Gu Wei held his lower abdomen; he was after all a civilian. The leg that just swept across was like a steel bar whipping his stomach, the pain felt as though his spleen and lungs were broken into several pieces. He gritted his teeth weakly and glared at him, “What do you guys want to do?” 

The locust alpha sneered, “Is there anyone with a high-grade gland upstairs?” 

The ones who came to cause trouble were not ordinary hooligans. 

Yan Yi was quietly observing on the second floor. He took two steps back and leaned sideways to hide in front of a dressing mirror, pressing onto his violently fluctuating heart and slowing down his breaths. 

“Gland hunters…” Yan Yi gripped the iron bat, gently resting it on the side. He undid his cuffs and folded the white cuffs up to his elbows. He then tore two strips of cloth from the white bedsheet, wrapping them separately around his left and right hands as bone-protection wrist covers. 

“Uhh.” All the blood in his body was colliding restlessly. Yan Yi clutched his heart in pain and squatted down, kneeling on the ground as sweat poured out like raindrops. His glands were still in a semi-dormant state; it had now only been restored to the J1 level.
