Lin Sanjiu was filled with surprise for a moment and stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react. During the few questions and answers just now, the native voice became quiet again. At this time, there was only liquid falling from nowhere, drop by drop.
Entering the puddle, the quiet echoes gradually dissipated.
Sibaan, who was standing not far in front, tilted his head slightly, revealing a straight profile of his nose. He lowered his eyes and avoided the Queen Mother: "I understand. In order to grow up, how much do you need in total?
Nutrients? Maybe we can help you.”
No need.
That voice, which seemed to be pressing directly on the soul, was huge and vast and filled my mind; it was difficult to describe the tone of the Queen Mother when she spoke, or even whether it had a tone at all -
As a steak, you should look like a steak.
As soon as she heard this sentence, Lin Sanjiu was shocked and immediately raised her head. She will never forget this sentence until her death - in her home world, it was this sentence that Ren Nan said to her that opened the door to
Her first day as an Evolver.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
She opened her mouth and felt her lips trembling slightly. "Sba'an, it... I heard this sentence from someone before. I suspect that it can intercept our brains."
some messages.”
"Is it your memory?" Siba'an raised his voice slightly, and just halfway through the question, the queen's voice dropped again.
...You will always be separated from this side of the glass, looking at other people's lives...parallel lines that will never intersect.
This sentence was very unfamiliar, and it obviously did not come from her memory; when Lin Sanjiu raised her head, she happened to see Sibaan twisting his head violently.
After the Mother Queen said these words, there was suddenly no movement in the dialect - it seemed to have given up the attack of the purple-black long insect, and just remained silent in the dead silence; Lin Sanjiu raised his head and glanced at Grandma, the special humanoid object was different from the
When her eyes met, she quickly understood what she meant.
The goddess looked at the brains behind the two men for a while and shook her head.
She said nothing, which meant that the Queen Mother did not take any action.
Just like that, in a cavity that was unknown how many meters deep underground, the two of them stood frozen, one behind the other, with their backs to a mountain-like brain. No one moved or made a sound.
What on earth is the Queen Mother going to do?
"You're right," Siba'an suddenly broke the silence. Different from his previous casual and intimate tone, he sounded like he was really angry at this moment, and his voice dropped coldly: "It can indeed touch our memories.
.But now, what it captures should only be some fragments."
Those words really belong to him.
"How did it do it?" Lin Sanjiu's nails dug deeply into her palms, "Why... is it the parasite we were infected with? Can parasites do such a thing?"
"Have you ever heard of Toxoplasma gondii?" the blond man replied in a low voice, "It is carried in the body of cats and has no effect on the cats themselves; on the contrary, rats infected with Toxoplasma gondii will lose their fear of cats... They
He will even walk past the cat in a swagger without knowing how to escape."
The queen mother behind her was still silent, as if she didn't exist. If Lin Sanjiu hadn't known that she couldn't be so lucky, she would have even wondered if it was planning to let them go.
"I've heard...you mean, the parasite we are infected with is very similar to Toxoplasma gondii?"
"Yes, but it's much more powerful." Siba'an thought while replying: "Once this parasite invades our brain, it can immediately split into three new sources of infection, driving us to
They spread. It seems that the first thing to be affected and damaged is our emotional center."
"So although our rationality is still there, we are neither afraid nor doubtful." Lin Sanjiu said this and added: "The information about Shambhala also entered our brains through parasites, right?"
The blond man nodded: "This can only be the reason."
The clearer the voices of the two people talking, the more silent the mother queen behind them seemed. Such an astonishingly huge "brain" was only dyed with a ravine and curved edge by the light, and most of the body was melted into the darkness.
...Lin Sanjiu imagined that it was like a ghost sticking to the back of their heads, quietly listening to their every word.
"The parasite has probably invaded our hippocampus now - where we store memories." Siba'an raised his hand and tapped his temple, still not looking back. "That's why it can touch our body."
memory."
"I understand," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but exhale, "Somehow they were able to read some of our fragmented memories, and... then passed them on to the Queen Mother." After saying this, she thought for several times.
Seconds later, I finally found a suitable analogy: "It's like...just like Bluetooth transmission!"
"Yes," Siba'an nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped talking. He thought for a while before speaking again, his voice a little erratic: "Yes... but I am not as optimistic as you.
I don’t think the Queen Mother’s goal is to read our fragmentary memories.”
"You mean?"
"I suddenly can't think of what to say." The blond man shook his head vigorously, "... Its goal is very clear, which is to absorb our brains as nutrients. So many people came to Shambhala one after another.
, but those who can constantly fight against their own will like you and me are probably rare... It encountered such a rare situation, I think it must be brewing a new way to deal with us."
"It's going to target our hippocampus?"
This time, after she finished speaking for a long time, she still heard no reply from Sibaan. He seemed to be stunned, standing straight in front of him. Lin Sanjiu called him several times, and then he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses.
Startled: "What did you say?"
"You...what's wrong with you?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Will you continue talking?"
"What should you continue to say?" Siba'an seemed a little stunned: "Why is the Queen Mother silent?"
"I don't know." She murmured, "By the way, what did you just say...?"
She clearly remembered that she was thinking about something just now, but as soon as she thought about it, she forgot what was going on in her mind and couldn't remember it no matter how much she thought about it.
"I forgot." Sibaan said word by word.
Lin Sanjiu also forgot.
"This is too coincidental, this is not normal." She murmured, "Are we talking about why the Queen Mother is silent?"
It was just a conversation half a minute ago, but now it was like a piece of thread falling into the water, drifting slowly into the depths of her mind with the water waves. No matter how hard she grabbed it, she could only grab it with nothing.
"No, no," a hoarse old woman's voice drew both of their eyes to the goddess. Her pointed and long nose drooped down, glistening with beads of sweat in the dim light: "You guys just forget
What were you talking about about the hippocampus and memory - how could you not remember it so quickly?"
The feeling of "sudden realization" was like a beam of moonlight cast at night, which just illuminated Lin Sanjiu's mind, and then seemed to be swallowed up by dark clouds, leaving her only a mist.
Almost as soon as the goddess finished speaking, she forgot again.
It seems that Sbaan is in the same situation.
"I vaguely remember that we were saying that the counterattack just now didn't work." He said in a low voice, "What items do you have that can automatically attack without any operation?"
Lin Sanjiu heard Teacher Yi's voice faintly flashing through the depths of her mind, and disappeared before she could hear it clearly.
What is she reminding herself of again?
"I have," she responded hurriedly before she had time to think about it. The painter was called out twice in just a short period of time, and seemed a bit at a loss; but this time the target was very clear - Lin Sanjiu rushed behind him
With a finger pointing, he immediately hugged his bucket and brush, hurried to the front of Sibaan, set up his easel and sat down.
The light in the earthen cavity was dim, and all the details were submerged in the haze; so he painted very quickly, stopped the brush, and suddenly a strong air flow blew up in the earthen cavity, and rushed straight into the blank space of the canvas. The wind continued.
The ground hit something behind her, hitting some soft shell-like texture, making a sharp and crisp sound; even with the size of a queen, it was moved by the suction of the canvas - it
Probably also fighting against the suction, the ground was constantly being hit, and there were heavy tremors again and again.
Sibaan did not move.
"I always feel that we seem to have forgotten something very important..." His low voice was almost inaudible amidst the sound of the Mother Queen shaking the earth. As he spoke, he glanced at the empty space in the center of the picture.
A large piece of canvas—and then suddenly stopped moving.
"Lin," he suddenly raised his voice and pointed at the canvas and shouted, "can you see it? There seems to be a person lying next to this blank space, which is at the feet of the queen."
Lin Sanjiu was startled and squinted her eyes to look at the canvas. However, the painter had just run too far to capture the panoramic view, and she could not see anything for a while; Sibaan lowered his head and looked at it for a few seconds, and suddenly he felt
He let out a long breath: "It's Mim!"
Oh no! This thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
At this time, the queen was attracted to the canvas, and was struggling and rolling behind it, shaking the earthen cavity, and causing countless dust to rise; Mim was too close to it, and as long as the brain rolled up a little
, then no matter whether he was dead or alive just now, all that can be left behind is just a puddle of flesh and blood.
"I'll bring him back," Siba'an waved his hand, and the half-moon shaped silver light disappeared together with the goddess, replaced by a waist-high metal cylinder on the ground. Lin Sanjiu was stunned and hurriedly called out
A voice: "Wait, don't turn around!"
But she said it too late - when Sibaan turned around, she also forgot why she couldn't turn around. My mom, I thought I would be able to sit down and post at two o'clock, but it didn't arrive until six o'clock... It feels like I haven't had a whole day.
I closed my eyes and my mind went blank. It took me an hour to finish the last few hundred words. But it was not easy to finish writing. During the next period of time, I plan to put up security guards at night and update the text before morning. Give me this
