Red Nautilus is the smallest geographical area among the twelve central realms. Apart from the sea area covering half of the planet, there are only four major human regions. Among these four major regions, three are closely connected.
The land is next to each other, sharing the same vast continent; only the last cyber area hanging alone in the ocean became Lin Sanjiu's foothold after arriving in the Red Nautilus World.
Although she knew that her luck had never been very good, the long journey from Howling Cape to the Free Zone still made her sigh.
Looking out of the window, she was tired of looking at the dark blue, unchanging sea. A few days ago, the spacecraft passed through forest-like rocks, high and low volcanoes, and large areas of dark red red parrots.
The empty shell of the snail flew over the sky - from then on, it was the boundless sea.
These days felt so long, probably because she had to keep an eye on the Queen of Soul all the time.
Unexpectedly, it had been particularly quiet in the past few days, showing no resistance, and did not even try to confuse Zhang Huabi or Captain Ma Long with illusions - but the more it was like this, the tighter the strings in Lin Sanjiu's mind became.
Compared with when he first got on the ship, ayu's belly is much smaller, and it seems that the soul inside is slowly returning to its original state. But after all, it is wearing a human skin, and the stretched skin is not
Without support, it was piled loosely on the abdomen, which made people even more afraid to look at it: every time Ma Long came in to deliver water, his eyes were always on everyone's heads.
According to the Queen of Soul, after breaking away from the shell, the soul family will return to the size when they were born; but the larger the original size, the longer the recovery time will be. After the red nautilus was sunk by humans, they could not
After lying dormant at the bottom of the sea for many years, he finally landed ashore again - counting the days, it was probably exactly a month or two before Lin Sanjiu's teleportation.
For the soul, this time is truly unlucky.
"Are you just like worms, crawling all the way from the sea into the city?" Lin Sanjiu asked with great interest, "Come on, let's talk about it from the beginning."
The Soul Queen was silent for half a second, and it was impossible to tell what attitude it had through human skin: "...Of course not. When we are close to the sea surface, we can release chemical hormones into the air. Basically, ordinary carbon
All living things will react to this hormone. The most common one is coma."
Having said this, it couldn't help but glance at Zhang Huabi, and then glanced at Lin Sanjiu.
In fact, when they missed on the cliff, the Queen of Soul had already secretly sprayed this chemical hormone on them once - this hormone also takes a long time from secretion to accumulation, and what it sprayed out was already the same as the one in the past.
The amount had been accumulated in the past month; but I didn't expect that Lin Sanjiu's mouth and nose were like decorations. Without realizing it, he chopped off its lower body without being affected at all.
Unlike Zhang Huabi, Lin Sanjiu did not have special items to defend herself, but after all, she had suffered a loss before and learned a lesson, so when dealing with souls, she had already activated it and "covered" her head and face.
After the battle at Kisaragi Station, her control ability has greatly increased, and her consciousness is also slowly increasing every day due to her growth-type physique. It is already surprisingly abundant - in fact, since entering the spacecraft, she has no more
Closed.
But judging from Malone's reaction, the Queen of Soul seems to have stopped making any small moves.
"You keep talking."
It was obviously a creature that did not need to breathe, but the Queen of Soul still opened her mouth when she heard this - through her mouth, she could vaguely see something that was not human, flashing from the depths of "Ward's" throat.
"People who were unlucky enough to inhale hormones were naturally put on by us... Carriers like ayu were the first to put on human skin. After they sent more compatriots into the city,
Then find more people to wear them. From then on, they move around in human settlements, build nests, and collect supplies..."
"Are you more than a thousand souls in the Cyber Zone?"
"No...the number of carriers is too small. There are only seven, and there are very few people near the coastline...so we can only enter in many batches; some are in the Cyber Zone, but most of our compatriots are still in the
seabed."
"I once saw one of your flesh chambers... filled with unconscious people. What was that for?"
The Queen paused, as if she was unwilling to continue. But one of the important reasons why Lin Sanjiu took the trouble to bring Ayu and another group of souls was to use them to blackmail each other - if the Queen of Souls didn't
If you are willing to speak, cut open the ayu and kill a soul; if what you say is not completely true or does not add up, kill another soul.
Sure enough, it still spoke: "...Those are all preparations for the compatriots who will come later. No matter how great our abilities are, we have limitations. We can't just stun humans on the street... That's our reserve.
Warehouse. You carry the smell of our reserve warehouse, which is why ayu follows you."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but smell herself, but found nothing. She frowned and asked: "Reserve warehouse? I see that many people in it are almost out of shape due to long-term coma, how can you still use it?"
?”
The Queen of Soul said calmly: "Use what you can use, and forget about what can't be used. Anyway, there will always be new humans sent to the reserve warehouse."
In other words, if it weren't for him, then the goatshoe man, the young man in Mao suit, and the others would probably die as "spare consumables"... Lin Sanjiu tried his best not to reveal his inner emotions, and asked as expressionlessly as possible
Said: "When in a coma, humans will fall into illusions?"
The Queen of Soul nodded.
"So...when did I pass out?"
The Queen can know the state of all souls, so she should also be aware of Sajie's actions - as expected, it moved and said: "You have dealt with souls alone, and you were infected with our scent but were not knocked unconscious, so
As soon as I walked out of that path, I was noticed by another compatriot... Sajie is one of the souls responsible for transporting you."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned - she never expected that she would fall into an illusion from such an early age - she still remembered that she planned to go back to the business district to look for the young man who led the way, but she didn't expect that even
She didn't even make it to the underground market before she was already unconscious!
The Queen hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Before entering the crack in the ground, you were awakened once; then Saje led you with illusions, allowing you to walk step by step into the storage warehouse under the crack."
...In this way, many places actually make sense.
The Satyr and others did not move with her. Judging from their physical condition, they had been thrown into the flesh cavity many months before Lin Sanjiu. And the reason why she could see in the illusion
She saw the "neighbor" in the flesh cavity and even saw Sajie, the "guide". This was all because her consciousness was trying its best to remind her that everything around her was wrong.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little shuddered - she had rarely felt this way since her death at Ruyue Station.
Zhang Huabi sat quietly aside, looking a little dazed. She didn't know many things, so what she heard was confused. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't intend to tell her everything, so for a while, the spacecraft fell into a strange situation.
in the tranquility.
This brief silence was immediately interrupted by a "squeak".
Malone put his head in and met four pairs of eyes. He coughed quickly and pushed the door open with his shoulder, revealing a tray in his hand: next to a small pot of water were two cups and a small saucer.
Dried meat and some cakes.
As the only staff member on the ship, the captain had to do everything.
Although Lin Sanjiu gave the captain a lot of extra red crystals for drinking water, Ma Long came in too frequently; today was not even halfway through, and he had already come twice. The last time he brought
Some dried fruits.
After glancing at the middle-aged man, Lin Sanjiu wanted to say something, but then felt that she was probably being too preoccupied. As soon as he stretched out his hand towards the kettle, Ma Long hurriedly said "I'll do it, I'll do it."
He poured her a glass of water.
The water in the glass is crystal clear and refreshing.
The two souls opposite were sitting expressionlessly, not even looking at the water. Zhang Huabi had been looking out the window since just now, as if she was not very interested. After thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu took a sip.
water.
It tasted like ordinary water, with a slight rusty taste, and it slid briskly into her throat.
I waited quietly for a long time. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
It seemed that she was indeed overly concerned - Lin Sanjiu took a breath and withdrew her consciousness from the water.
"This cake is good, would you like to try it?" Malone stayed a little longer this time and said with a smile: "I brought this with me when I passed through Thebesas. It is a specialty there. Everyone during the teleportation loves it.
Take it with you..."
Somehow, Lin Sanjiu found it difficult to say "No need for now".
After a pause, she finally picked up the cake - the egg-yellow cake looked crispy and burnt, and gave off a faint strange aroma, which was quite appetizing, but one piece of cake was bigger than a human head.
, not easy to get.
While tearing off a corner with his hands, Lin Sanjiu turned around and said: "I understand, you go back first -"
Before she finished her sentence, her vision suddenly blurred.
The dense dark gray smoke evaporated from nowhere. It seemed to be steaming slowly, but it filled the entire space in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu was startled. She had just jumped up when something appeared in her field of vision.
There was only a deep, shallow, fog-like smoky gray left inside.
The fog was so thick that when she lowered her head, she couldn't even see her own chest; but when she raised her hand to her eyes, she realized that fierce mist was constantly spraying out from the gap in the cake.
As the smoke floated in front of her eyes, she could even see the small particles in it; after taking two breaths, she already felt burning discomfort in her nasal cavity.
As the name suggests, this special item is the essence extracted from the thick haze collected over the years; in addition to blocking vision and causing serious health problems, it can also be stored in various items and released
When doing it, strive for a dramatic effect that will slap you in the face if you don't pay attention.
Ma Long would never attack him suddenly. This was definitely the work of two souls. Just as Lin Sanjiu cursed secretly, he immediately felt a pain in his eyes, as if he had been scratched by something.
She burst into tears. The effect of the haze essence was immediate. In just two seconds, her nose, mouth, and eyes felt as if she had been buried in the sand.
The moment before she couldn't help but close her eyes, a black shadow suddenly stabbed at her side - and she suddenly opened her eyes at the same time. Lin Sanjiu twisted around and avoided it.
A knight's spear in Malone's hand.
"Zhang Huabi!" Holding her foot firmly, she couldn't help but growl. "Watch them!"
There was no response in the thick fog.
Zhang Huabi's shadow seemed to be swallowed up by the thick fog; she didn't seem to notice anything was wrong at all. She was still sitting quietly - if Lin Sanjiu could see it, she would realize that this fat girl had just been beaten
A bored yawn.
The knight's spear poked out from the side like a snake. Lin Sanjiu's bone wings moved slightly, and he immediately responded like a living creature and held the spear.
In fact, in terms of combat power, Ma Long is really not much better than the Soul Clan. With a little thought, she can come up with at least five or six ways to deprive him of his mobility; however, what really restrains Lin Sanjiu is that he is neither flying in the high air.
spaceship, nor worry about the two souls lurking in the dark -
But she couldn't attack Malone.
I heard that there is a psychological phenomenon. The more you see a face, the more beautiful it becomes. Perhaps this is the theoretical basis for long-lasting love? Thanks to this human psychology, many singles can be saved.
.
A middle-aged man with little money and no charm had no choice but to display this ability. He originally thought that he would be able to marry a wife, but unexpectedly it would affect his enemies.
How to use: Be sure to let the target see you a few more times. The more times the target sees you, the stronger the opponent's impression of you will be, and the less likely they will attack you.
In order to display this ability, Ma Long had obviously been preparing for several days - Lin Sanjiu had seen him an average of two or three times a day in the past few days, so once she was hit, the effect was immediately obvious: once she floated
With the thought of counterattack, her hands immediately dropped down as if their bones had been removed, without any fighting spirit.
In the thick fog, a low rustling sound came from the direction of the two souls. Lin Sanjiu raised her heart. There was only a "dang" sound, and the spear hit her again.
Bone Wings - At the same time, a very light "bada" was quickly caught by her ears.
Almost in the next second, she realized what it was.
That was the sound of the black leather rope slipping from the Soul Queen's body.
The two souls had no hope that Ma Long could defeat her. All this was done to create a chaos that they could take advantage of - it was originally something Lin Sanjiu snatched from the Garden of Eden, but they didn't actually know its correct use.
There are no matching tools; it is somewhat unexpected to be able to bind the Soul Queen for such a long time.
It seems that we can't do it without that... Lin Sanjiu thought a little reluctantly. Then she gritted her teeth. As soon as a thin shadow appeared in her hand, she immediately slapped the ground hard with her backhand.
"Stop it!"
Since this action did not cause any substantial harm to Malon, he was successfully released from it and quickly swallowed up the owner of the knight's spear.
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu used the soul clan's ability. She waited for a few seconds with her heart in her arms, and finally found that the gray smoke around her gradually dissipated - behind the thick fog, Ma Long had a pale face.
I didn't know what kind of "reality" I saw. I gasped and slowly slid along the wall to sit on the ground, and smashed the spear down with a "clang".
The Queen of Soul, who had once again earned her freedom, was standing not far away, watching her quietly.
Since it has no legs, the way it "stands up" is so weird that it makes people feel numb - but Lin Sanjiu's eyes only paused on it for half a second, and then glanced at Ayu beside the queen.
Ayu is standing next to a window. Outside the window, there is the vast sky and sea.
Lin Sanjiu breathed out slowly.
She didn't know the operating principle of this spaceship, nor its flight and altitude; but judging from the common sense she learned before the end of the world, once this window was broken, the only thing that could survive would be the soul.
Under Soul's intense gaze, she smiled, then pulled the single sofa that she had just knocked over and sat down quietly.
As the Soul Queen was obviously startled, Ayu behind her immediately lowered her hand.
"You...have been going through so many twists and turns for so many years, right? The main reason is to find a body to reproduce the next generation?" Lin Sanjiu deliberately spoke slowly, and every word was asking questions knowingly.
"However, no matter how many places you change, you still can't find a body that allows you to reproduce." She nodded at the Queen of Souls and said: "And the reason why you fell in love with me is because I am different from ordinary people and have the ability to reproduce."
Modifying genes... and I also successfully modified my body."
When the Queen of Soul's eyes fell on the bone wings behind her, Lin Sanjiu was almost convinced that she saw a flash of light.
"But haven't you ever thought about how I transformed myself?" She tilted her head and asked softly.
This question really made the Queen of Soul speak.
"……what have you done?"
"Because I know someone." Lin Sanjiu's smile remained unchanged. "She personally created an intelligent creature that has never existed in this world - and this kind of creature can also mate and reproduce."
Only the devil knows whether the "sages" can reproduce - but this does not prevent her from continuing: "Out of friendship, she also transformed my body... You also saw my bone wings, they are quite powerful, right?"
The people in this world who are willing to believe that Nuwa made weapons for the enemy are probably not born yet - the Queen of Soul is no exception. She stared at Bone Wings without moving her eyes for a while before finally speaking.
"What do you mean?"
"What I want to say is actually very clear." Lin Sanjiu's voice was cool and cool: "The first option is that you continue to stand there and then be killed by me before you break the window; the second option is,
Come back obediently, sit on this sofa, and think carefully about what requests you should make after meeting my friends. What do you think?"
...When the Free Zone is in sight, the Queen of Soul is sitting on the single sofa, motionless looking at the human world outside the ship. (To be continued.)
