The source of the mutation is the "complex mental body thinking network" composed of multiple mind flayers whose seals were leaked, as recorded in the ruins of the institute.
It possesses rudimentary intelligence - roughly equivalent to the intelligence level of a fifteen or sixteen year old minor, who is actually not very smart.
However, it still caused huge trouble to everyone.
After sensing the existence of another personality in Medea, this mental body network focused on her. Because the main personality mental body is closely connected with its own life body and spiritual body, the connection between the secondary personality is slightly fragile.
Therefore, after accumulating enough power, the mental body network teleported the people of Cang Qing Sword in, and by the way tore off a part of Medusa's mental body, intending to use it to supplement its own mental body and improve itself.
of IQ.
Then it was tainted by purgatory.
As the so-called daughters of Purgatory, Medea and Medusa's existence is always under the gaze of Purgatory's will. They are an important interface between Purgatory and the main plane. How could they be eaten by a mere mind flayer?
?
The result of forcible devouring is reverse devouring. This complex mental body thinking network composed of a large number of mind flayers was instantly infused with a large amount of alien energy by Purgatory, and in turn transformed into the shape of Medusa.
Her thoughts were synchronized and her will was assimilated, almost becoming a copy of her.
If Medusa still retains the male fear of Ask, then the mental body network that has inherited this trait may have great kindness towards Ask.
However, contact with this man can no longer bring her pain, so the mind body network decided to get rid of this guy who haunted Medea - to a certain extent, this also shows the Medea's inner Medea.
Shah also maintains considerable hostility towards Asker.
Then he was directly defeated by Asker, and the whole process took less than five minutes. Even with the additional bonus of Purgatory, the strength gap between the two sides was still as big as a chasm.
The above is all the information about this intelligence that Medea obtained after taking back her incomplete mental body.
The swordsmen of the Richard Turner Swordsmen who had previously withdrawn from the hall also returned to the hall at this time.
Then I saw the hall was in a mess, with signs of explosions and burning everywhere.
Ask sat on the ground, leaning on the desk next to him, while Nora was helping him treat him.
Medea was picking up the translucent corpses of mind flayers all over the ground, crushing each one she picked up, while still muttering something about "restoring her mind".
"What are you..." Hans asked aloud.
"It's solved." Ask said, "The mutation is gone."
Swordsmen:???
We haven't done anything yet! We just stayed outside for less than five minutes and you solved it?
Then everyone's hearts buzzed, Damn, he deserves to be the chief!
As the illegitimate son of a demigod teacher, no one would be surprised if he suddenly took out a 4,000-meter-long sword and split the entire town, let alone a few minutes to resolve this mutation.
"Let's go and explore the last room." Asik said this and led everyone towards the depths of the passage.
In the last hall of the ruins, everyone suddenly saw countless large cocoons made of mucus hanging from the ceiling.
Each translucent cocoon was tightly wrapped in mucus, and the people inside had fallen into a coma, with extremely frightened expressions, as if they were trapped in a nightmare of endless fear.
Just like the sleeping residents in the town.
This is obviously the Mind Flayer's method, and the purpose is even more obvious: to provide painful energy to the "Medusa" just now through the torture of endless nightmares.
The swordsmen began to rescue these victims, while Asker and the two girls quickly plundered the last hall.
In a cabinet, the three of them found four well-sealed bottles of psychic sequence potions: two bottles of psychic I and two bottles of psychic II.
"It's not too shameless, and of course it's not too sexy either," Aske commented.
You may get a variety of rewards by clearing the dungeon. The worst is money, followed by spiritual materials, which have a relatively high yield rate.
Then there are the finished magic potions or formulas. Getting these is considered a small profit. The best ones are of course extraordinary items, but the probability is very low and they are rare.
After putting away the potion, all the victims in the hall were rescued. Asik even found two old acquaintances here: Andrea and Matthews, two members of the large mercenary group.
The group leader was also caught in the mutation. At this time, he was curled up like a quail in the mucus, and his unconscious face was full of panic and pain.
It can be seen that everyone is equal in the face of mutation. No matter you are a high-ranking leader of a large mercenary group or a soldier with no background, if you are not smart enough, you will be finished.
When transporting these victims out of the institute, the narrow iron door that was split open was another obstacle. After everyone's hard work, everyone was finally transported out.
"You did a good job." Outside the iron gate, Richard Turnard seemed to have recovered, stood up with a long sword, and said to Asker.
What about us? All the swordsmen burst into tears. We also worked hard, teacher!
However, the greatest credit for this trip really belongs to the chief, and no one can say anything to take credit for it, they can only express their sincerity.
After leaving the underground passage, the air became clear, and the fog in the town outside had dissipated without a trace. It was obvious that with the end of the mutation, everyone, along with the entire town of Runfield, had returned to the surface world of the real plane.
The town residents who were sleeping in various houses, because they were no longer controlled by the Mind Flayer's mind network, woke up one by one and walked around the streets in a daze.
It's time to meet up with the remaining girls. You can ask someone first.
Asker walked around the roadside and caught a sneaky-looking guy - this guy looked like a mercenary.
Before he could ask, the other party said:
"It is impossible to refund the money, and it is impossible to refund it in this life. Don't you understand the principle of money and goods? Besides, even if this mutation is over, the password you bought will not be used in similar mutations in the future.
It can’t be used. How could you have come up with such a wonderful idea if you didn’t buy it?”
Ask:???
"Secret code?" Asker asked, "What code?"
"Hey, you're not asking me to return the goods?" The guy was also smart and immediately shook off his hand, "Then why are you holding me? Let's go, let's go! I'm very busy, uncle."
This guy ran away in a flash.
"What happened to that guy?" Hans asked.
"I don't know." Asik sighed, "Then we can only find it slowly in the town."
"The chief's team is called Cangqing Sword, right?" Nuremberg said, "We can also help ask."
After placing the victims in the nearest building, some of Richard Turnard's swordsmen left some to guard them, while the other part spread out to inquire about the location of the Blue Sword mercenary group.
Anyway, this mutation is over, so everyone is in a very relaxed mood, so they just take it as a rest and walk.
"Hey, the mercenaries over there, have you ever encountered the mercenary group named 'Cang Qing Sword'?"
"Cang Qing Sword? I've never heard of it. By the way, have you ever encountered a mercenary group named 'Iron Ship'?"
"Iron ship?"
"Those bastards sold us a secret code, saying that it was a clone that could cope with this mutation. Unexpectedly, within 10 minutes of buying it, the mutation was over! Even the fog dissipated! We
I need to find the Iron Ship Mercenary Group to return it!"
"………………"
The swordsmen asked all over, but they didn't find out about the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, but the name of the Iron Ship Mercenary Group sounded familiar to them.
However, I finally found out that there is a group of female mercenaries stationed in the church in the center of the town. Considering the gender ratio in the mercenary industry, it is estimated that the girls are inseparable.
So Asker and Richard Nar said goodbye, and hurried to the center of the town with Medea and Nora.
