506: How Mantis became a system host.

Alix’s eyes widened and she shuddered.

It was hard for her to imagine herself sleeping besides a cold corpse all night long.

That probably would have been too much for her brain to handle.

“Oh jeez!

what did you do?” Mantis mixed herself another cup of tea and on she went with her sorrowful tale.

“I was young, my father was not in the city and i was scared out of my mind, and in tears, so i did what all children do; i called my mother for help.

She answered the call and i told her what had happened.” She chuckled at the terrible memories.

“She said to me, i am not your mother anymore and don’t call this number ever again.

Our relationship ended the day i left that house, for you and your father, i am dead.” “What!” Alix exclaimed.

“What kind of crazy fruit says that to a scared ten year old?

Wow, this is so infuriating, woooooow.

What did you do?” “I run and to the nearest neighbors for help, they called the police and my grandmother’s body was taken away.

Since my father was not around, my mother could not be reached and no other relatives were willing to claim me, i was sent to an orphanage.”  Mantis closed her eyes with a strange smile on her face, it was like she was in pain but forcing herself to smile anyway.

“Life there was not good there either, there was a lot of bullying.

I will not bore you with the story but i think the reason why i got an insect morphing system is because i once wished to be like an ant.

You see, in that place, he bigger kids would always steal food away from the weak ones.

One time when i was starving i saw a tiny ant carrying a bread crumb which looked much bigger than its whole body.

I envied that ant so much, it was small and it had this big piece of bread that would fill it up for a whole day, maybe two or three.

I opened my mouth and wished to be like the ant.” She sighed and laughed at herself.

“It’s silly, right?” she turned her quizzing gaze to Alix.

“Not so silly because you ended up being a host to an insect morphing system.” Alix shrugged.

Maybe it was no coincidence that she got that exact system after all.

Did it mean she liked dragons….Alix slapped her forehead lightly.

She had been talking about having a dragon morphing system so much that she had forgotten that it was not the actual system she had.

Mantis couldn’t read Alix’s thought and she thought the little forehead slap was related to her story so she went on.

“I saw my mother again when i was sixteen, with her two daughters, not biological by the way.

They were shopping in the mall when we bumped into each other.

Our eyes met and she froze, scared out of her mind.

It was only for a few seconds and she averted her gaze and walked past me as if i was nothing to her.

My heart was torn to pieces again, just like it had been in the past.

I was young and foolish so i run to the roof top of the mall in tears and considered throwing myself off the building for a few minutes.

Maybe she would care if i died, maybe she would regret abandoning me.

I was so stupid that I didn’t even think about the feelings my father who had been raising me on his own after bringing me back from the orphanage.

When i came to my senses, all i wanted revenge on her.

Anyway, that’s when i got the system.

The very next day, i turned into an ant, looked up my mother’s address, went in and bit her.

It was a small bite, it didn’t kill her but a small part of me felt satisfied.” She sipped her coffee and sighed in relief.

“I haven’t told that story to anyone before.

Actually, nobody other than the captain has ever asked.” Alix understood why Mantis had not shared the story with other people, it was just the same as she didn’t like sharing her own story.

There were no badges of honor for sharing your scars anyway.

She looked at Mantis and raised her cup as if she was raising a glass to toast.

“Thank you for sharing your painful past with me.

I promise not to share this with anyone of course, i was just curious about what criteria you fit in the system choosing host category.

I guess we both belong to the shitty parent and desire vengeance category.

But look at us now, we have become winners in life.” “I will toast to that.” Mantis extended her cup to Alix and they toasted to their good fortunes.

Because Mantis had opened up, the two women experienced a feeling of camaraderie, like they had been friends for a long time and for a while, they discussed other things, system host, bureau and personal lives.

After an hour of great conversation, both of them were comfortable with each other and extremely relaxed that they had their feet up on the table.

“Truth time Mantis, how many times have you stung your horrible mama?” “Once a week.” They both cackled loudly, annoying the chicken which was fed up with the chatter and laughter.

“Do you know where that asshole Wei lives?” she asked next.

Mantis nodded.

“What are you thinking about doing?

Are you thinking about paying him a visit?” Mantis had a feeling that it was Alix’s plan….no, more than a feeling, it was a certainty.

The dragon was a vengeful creature and just as the captain had anticipated, the consequences of minister Wei’s entitlement were probably about to arrive on wings.

“Of course i am.” Alix did not deny her intentions.

“If he wants to see how a dragon plays around, i should show him.

He wants me to put on a show for the Enrich family so why don’t i put on a show for him first and show him what my flames can do.

Do you want to go with me?” “Oh i am all the way in, i still have a grudge against that fat fuck you know.

Finally there is someone in the city who is not boring or obedient, i knew i liked you Tai Alix.

Come on, let’s go, i was hoping that you would do this when i came over.” Mantis was so optimistic and excited that she stood up immediately.

Alix didn’t wait around and she followed Mantis, grabbing Majesty on her way out.

“Hubby Zhang, we…i will be back soon.

Keep my dinner warm.” Caishen didn’t get a chance to ask where Alix was going or what she was up to.

He rushed out to get some answers but the elevator was already on the move.

He took another one but by the time he reached the ground, they were speeding away on a motorcycle so he had no choice but to return to the house where his brother was waiting with a question.

“What are those two up to?” Caishen massaged the bridge of his nose and sighed.

“Nothing good.”
