Shepard and the larva stared at each other, neither speaking for a moment.
What is this thing? Why did Fang Zheng give it to me?
Shepard couldn't figure it out. She remembered clearly that Fang Zheng had said to open this box if she encountered difficulties. Initially, Shepard thought it would contain some sort of secret weapon or something. But... what is this?
If it were a regular woman, just seeing the larva would likely make her scream directly. However, Shepard was a battle-hardened Ironblood female warrior. She had seen even more disgusting things in the universe, so the worm wasn't much to her, just... how should this be handled?
"Commander!"
Just when Shepard was racking her brain, Kaiden's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Hearing her subordinate's call, Shepard shook her head to dismiss her doubts, then picked up the box lid and snapped it shut, stood up with the box, and opened the door, where Kaiden was staring at her nervously.
