Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any strange plot unfolding here.
But for some reason, Cheng Yu was vaguely disappointed with the result.
Chen Yu is still a dead man, a dead man who cannot die anymore.
Calling up the divine system that still existed in his mind but seemed to have lost its signal and could not be contacted, Cheng Yu entered the system mall and exchanged it for a bestiality spell.
When the cursor in his mind moved to Bestiality, a translucent dialog box slowly appeared.
"High-level bestiality, a one-time consumable, can only be used by the host himself. After use, the host can communicate with any creature that has autonomous consciousness and can move independently. Each time this consumable is used, it lasts for thirty
minutes, during which time you can communicate with any number of creatures without locking."
Although the content of the introduction was not beyond Cheng Yu's expectations, the details still made Cheng Yu feel a little novel.
This bestiality is not limited to animals as defined on Earth.
In terms of the definition of animal, the general definition is - a living body that feeds on organic matter, cannot synthesize inorganic matter into organic matter, is composed of cells without cell walls, can move, and has a matrix.
This definition is actually mainly to distinguish animals from plants. After all, there are no more abundant life forms on the earth.
But if the life forms in science fiction or mythological novels also exist, then the current definition of animals is obviously imperfect.
The current definition of objects used in bestiality is obviously much broader.
First of all, it only requires autonomous consciousness and autonomous movement, which means that if the plant can run and be conscious, Cheng Yu can still communicate with it. Of course, the word plant has great limitations. The universe is so vast, and no one can
I don’t know if there will be another planet where life forms were born. On that planet, the life forms may not be carbon-based or even matrix-based, but since they are called life forms, they will obviously have
Growth, and some of them must have autonomous consciousness and autonomous movement capabilities.
If this is hard to understand, an example will make it clear enough.
Transformers, a toy created by the Japanese but popularized by the Americans, has obviously built a worldview composed of metal equipment and creatures after being gradually improved over the years. Although it is impossible for anyone to have seen Transformers, it is even less likely that anyone can
Dissect them, but if such living beings really exist, they obviously cannot be composed of cells, and there is no need to synthesize inorganic substances into organic substances, because they themselves are composed of inorganic substances as we define them.
However, they meet the requirements of bestiality, can move, and have their own consciousness, so even if they cannot quickly master human language, Cheng Yu can communicate with them without any obstacles.
Of course, this is actually a bit of an unfounded fantasy. After all, it is impossible for Cheng Yu to come into contact with other types of life forms, and the broad definition of bestiality does not seem to have much impact on the "beasts" on the earth.
significance.
However, this will not affect Cheng Yu's current behavior, because when he came here with Liu Manman before, he had already noticed that there were some cute things hidden in the small woods behind the "morgue".
of children.
Cheng Yu didn't know if Liu Manman had noticed this, but as long as he paid attention, it would be easy to find the existence of those cute children. But usually, it is difficult for humans to notice the existence of these little things unless they specifically observe them. They
The protective coloration itself is one aspect, but the most important thing is that humans often don’t deliberately guard against animals of this size.
But Cheng Yu is obviously different. He has been looking for someone who can use bestiality. When he came here and saw the "morgue" unexpectedly built in old London, of course he had to pay attention to whether there was anyone nearby.
An object that can be used to communicate and obtain information.
These cute little friends are a few little squirrels.
Cheng Yu clicked on the bestiality technique in his mind, and then selected the "Confirm" button on the pop-up dialog box.
The pattern representing the bestiality technique on the light green light screen in front of him turned into a faint golden glow and disappeared, but Cheng Yu did not feel any changes in his body.
However, Cheng Yu, who has experienced similar situations countless times, will certainly not doubt the abilities given to him by the God System.
Cheng Yu felt that in the small woods behind him, there were already two pairs of eyes looking at him, maybe out of curiosity, maybe out of vigilance. The two children kept squirming their little mouths, staring at Cheng Yu.
figure.
Slowly turning around, Cheng Yu smiled and said softly to the woods: "Hello, my two children, if you can understand what I say, then please jump off the branch and let's talk.
Say a few words."
Cheng Yu didn't know much about bestiality. After all, he had never used it before. But since the instructions for use indicate that this skill does not require locking the conversation partner and is a group skill, there should be no need for Cheng Yu to imitate it.
Is that the sound of an animal? The key is that Cheng Yu has never heard the sound of a squirrel, so he can't imitate it.
Therefore, it should be just Cheng Yu speaking normally, and the squirrels or other animals just responding with their usual calls, and the brains of both parties will translate the content of their voices into their respective languages under the influence of bestiality.
Bar.
Or, similar to mind-reading, the things that the other person is thinking will naturally appear in the mind. However, mind-reading is one-way, while bestiality is two-way, and bestiality is aimed at expression.
The meaning comes out, not the inner thoughts.
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, there was silence in the grove. The little squirrel that was still wiggling its lips no longer subconsciously made those movements, but stared at Cheng Yu dumbfounded, with mixed feelings in his heart.
, as if eating a rotten pine nut.
Squeak, squeak, squeak...
After more than ten seconds, Cheng Yu finally heard a few rat-like noises, which were extremely slight. If Cheng Yu hadn't been highly focused, these little sounds would have been lost in the sound of the waves.
.
It turns out that this is what a squirrel calls like...
Just as these words appeared in Cheng Yu's mind, he seemed to understand these single squeaks.
"Why do you say what we say?"
Before Cheng Yu could answer anything, another little squirrel also started chirping.
"He didn't speak our words. Whether you like it or not, he spoke human words."
"Zhizhizhizhi..." - "That's right, he didn't make any sounds like us, but why can we understand what he said?"
"I don't know if he can understand our squeaking. But no matter what, this man is the most amazing person I have ever met."
"Then ask him and see if he can understand us."
The two little squirrels communicated for a long time like no one else was around, but Cheng Yu just thought it was funny.
Seeing these two little squirrels, they were hiding behind the tree trunk from the beginning, and then the squeaking noises of communication became louder and louder. Finally, they no longer cared about their own figures, and walked out from behind the tree, squatting like human beings.
Sitting there, with a long and fluffy tail behind him, and two front paws gesticulating back and forth in front of his chest with constant squeaking sounds, the scene was really interesting.
If these two little squirrels hadn't planned to ask themselves, Cheng Yu would have really wanted to listen to them chattering for a while longer.
"I can also understand what you are saying. If you want to ask me why this is, I can only tell you that this is a special ability that I have, which allows me to communicate with you without any barriers. And
Not just you, if you can call friends of other species, I think I can also communicate with them. However, are you unable to communicate normally between different species?"
I don't know if Cheng Yu's question is a little too complicated. Although squirrels are called one of the ten smartest animals, they are obviously not smart enough to understand the complex composition of this world.
"Wow, it's really amazing. You can actually understand what we are talking about. Your ability is really interesting, but I don't know what you mean by other friends." The one on the left
When the little squirrel said this, he also made the last sound, wondering if the previous one was a stupid little guy.
The two little squirrels had strange expressions on their faces, with their huge teeth bared and their cheeks bulging, looking like they were smiling.
With a slight twist of their small bodies of about twenty centimeters, the two little squirrels jumped down from the tree trunk in unison, and boldly ran a short distance in the direction of Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but laugh. Even if he couldn't communicate effectively, seeing the innocent looks of these two gadgets, he would probably be turned into cute ones by them, right?
"Those are not important. What is important is that we can understand each other's language."
The two little squirrels looked at each other and nodded heavily. Their huge heads compared to their bodies are probably the reason why they are smarter than other animals.
"Have you always lived here?" Cheng Yu felt that although the two little squirrels became less afraid of him because of the fact that they shared the same language with Cheng Yu, they wanted to make them really regard Cheng Yu as a human being.
They are still unable to communicate in a relaxed manner like the same kind.
Then let's make a quick decision. Cheng Yu can speed up communication and get the answers he needs directly by asking questions.
The two little squirrels nodded. Little squirrel No. 1 (the one who opened his mouth later) was obviously more lively in character and said, "Yes, this forest is our home."
"Then you should all know what happened on the beach, right?"
The one who spoke was still Little Squirrel No. 1. It waved its front paws, puffed up its plump little chest, and said, "That is necessary. Nothing that happens here can escape my clever eyes."
"
Little Squirrel No. 2 finally sighed and said: "That's not necessarily the case. After all, we also need to sleep, and many times we go to the depths of the woods to play or look for food, so we don't actually know much about what happens at the beach.
many."
Hearing these words, Little Squirrel No. 1 was obviously annoyed and angry at having been exposed. It glared at Little Squirrel No. 2, but tried its best to avoid direct eye contact with Cheng Yu.
"But if what happens makes a lot of noise, you should all be able to hear it, right?"
Perhaps it was because he had been exposed once before, but this time, little squirrel No. 1 did not rush to answer.
Little Squirrel No. 2 said: "Theoretically, this is true. At least we can detect something unusual happening. But if we are deep in the woods, or even sometimes we just sleep in a tree hole, even if there is something moving outside,
, we won’t go out of our way to see it.”
Cheng Yu nodded, and the mental test was completed.
