Chapter 58: Corpses
"Woo. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Bebel clung to Kuroko's shoulder, and saw Luz approaching with a needle wheel beetle in her arms, and let out a strange whine in her throat. As soon as Luz's shadow fell on them, Bebel was so frightened that she curled up behind the little black man.
Beibel feels full of strangeness at the moment, if she has a similar physique to Xiao Heizi and looks like a twelve-year-old girl, then she is less strong and arrogant in the past, and more shy and cowardly, she is really no different from a child.
Bebel's mind is degraded, and she can't fight back against Luz's compulsion. Even if Luz was in fact only deliberately trying to scare her, Bebel's expression immediately changed, and she lost her blood, withdrew her hands, and huddled in the corner of the house like a raccoon, hiding in the shadows and shivering.
"That fool who went to the hotel to do something recklessly, let her taste the pain for a while. ”
“………”
"Little Black's eyes, what's wrong with you?...... Don't worry, that guy has done this before, and when he gets the 'Orc-Humanoid' machine back, he will go back to his original state and go back to that living state. She's okay with that. But...... I really didn't expect the little black to have that kind of thought. A week ago, you couldn't have made such a move. ”
Kuroko understood what Luz was trying to say, and it was natural for Kuroko's behavior to surprise her, because Kuroko was also surprised by what she was doing, and even wondered why the idea of prompting that action appeared.
The little black man left the beep and came to the outside world. The world's big and small things attack the retina of the little sunspot and revolutionize her values. Those wonderful beasts, all kinds of human beings, each with different sounds and smells, they communicate with each other, they influence each other, and those who see it, the little black man seems to have changed more or less because of this.
Moreover, it was during the period when the little sunspot had not yet realized it, and it quietly changed.
"The corpse of this queen ant exudes an inexplicable smell of concern. The smell was very familiar, consistent with the smell of the target we were tracking. It was the smell of beep and the smell of fear, and it was the existence that made its body involuntarily feel dangerous and wanted to escape. ”
The little black man walked up to the center of the open space, and Luz held the needle wheel beetle, and leaned in to check the corpse of the ant queen following the little black man's movements.
The corpse of the giant white ant, twice the size, lay in front of them. It was huge, two-thirds of the platform was under it, and Kuroko and Luz could only find less than a third of the range to gain a foothold.
The corpse of the queen ant is the same color as the white giant ant that the Luz ride, and is white. In the dim lighting left behind by this abandoned mall, the color had lost the nourishment of the soul, and still exuded a milky white full of light.
The corpse of the queen ant is similar to that of the worker ant next to the white giant ant in silent mourning, except for the miserable damage, the internal structure is broken, as if it has been gnawed, torn and devoured by fangs, exposing the empty core and revealing the outside.
If you look closely, you can see that some of the blocks on the surface of the dry and flat shell are stained with different shades of dirt, and the closer you get to the dark range, the more the special smell gradually worsens.
The smell was like the smell of a charred animal in the desert exposed to the sun. If the origin of the smell is, as the black spot inferred, then the dirty part of the outer shell can be explained.
During the period before and after the queen's death, she was subjected to an unknown high temperature baking.
"Little black, if that's the case. Then I have something I don't understand. What kind of thing is enough to produce burns, or even the high heat of burning the shell of the queen ant? The merchant who sells this type of riding beast must consider the quality of his goods, and it is impossible for the high heat and other things that will cause the quality to change here. ”
"It's impossible for me to answer that kind of question. Human life thinking, I actually feel that it is impossible to have more experience than you. If you are just looking for a random topic, through communication, to promote the flexibility of your brain, then you should go to Bebel, please don't expect me or the white giant ant to give you an answer, at the moment she is the only one here who is familiar with the human thinking mode and thinks about possible directions...... Yes, only Bebel...... She?"
…… No, no, it's not just her. There is another ...... in this room.
Why didn't the little black spot find out? The little black man has such a sensitive nose, and Luz, who is a "meander", also has a keen sense in the dark, but why did they not notice it at all when the "guy" approached?
It was too late for that question to be answered by the time they looked up and got the answer when they sensed the direction of the puzzle.
The unknown "guy" seized the opportunity, and what "it" did on their upper body, they simply didn't have time to deal with .......
***
Ever since the merchant abandoned the white giant ant's nest, that "it" had chosen it as its new nest. The resting place of "it" is the room where the corpse of the queen ant lies on its side.
The presence of "it" has caused the smell of the white giant ant nest to mutate, and it has been contaminated with the smell everywhere. The "smell of mutation" was undetectable to the Luz. After all, they are here for the first time, and there is no "experience" in the past to compare with the "present", so they will not perceive that there is already a "singularity" in the nest.
"It" sensed the Luz's intrusion, and shrank back, coiled on top of it, waiting for an opportunity. Wait for the Luz, these alien "lambs", to automatically enter "its" hunting range.
The platform on which the Luz stand to observe the corpse of the queen ant is the preset condition of "it", and it is the hunting area that "it" has the highest grasp. In this way, "it" greatly increases the probability of success when carrying out hunting operations.
Blackspot and Luz are on the platform to explore the cause of the queen's death, focusing all on it, indirectly lowering the vigilance around them...... No, that's just an excuse, it's what Xiao Heizi deliberately thinks so, if ...... Normally, even if her concentration is scattered, her nose's sensitivity to detect abnormalities will not be affected and will not be affected.
