As you can see, the manipulators who saw through the humanoid body in front of them were nothing more than a similar fake conjured up by an indefinite worm, immediately attacked it again, and then loaded it into the isolation bomb after cleaning it of its outer cells. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And that's the end of the video. ”

After this valuable video from Charlie's mecha was played, facing the many operators in the multimedia lecture hall, the moon immediately informed everyone of the results of the research on this video by the Alien Research Institute.

"Based on our repeated viewing and research of this video, why did the indefinite worm use its remaining foreign cells to transform into a human body, and our guess is that it hopes to achieve self-preservation through this transformation."

"Far from the nest, and there are no large number of adventitious insects nearby that can help it, the only companion around has been stripped of its outer cells and locked up in the isolation bomb. In the case of witnessing this kind of thing happen to one's own kind, the normal regeneration rate of one's own foreign cells is completely inferior to the speed at which dozens of people cut and burn its foreign cells, and it is not surprising that they have not tried to regenerate their foreign cells with no effect. ”

"Giving up the most common way of self-preservation, instead compressing the real body, and then covering a small number of foreign cells, transformed into the shape of the manipulator he just swallowed the adventitious worm, if it is not the wrong size of its mutations, and it cannot detect any human vital signs from it at all, then I think that there will indeed be manipulators who are blinded by vision and choose to give up attacking it."

"Now, we have sailed from the solar system for more than 500 years, and we have not encountered such adventitious insects for the time being, so we don't know what kind of characteristics the human body has that is transformed by foreign cells. But one thing is certain, that is, if one day in the future, the manipulators encounter such an adventitious insect on the battlefield, then, there is no need to doubt or scruples, just shoot at it, after all, they are not our partners. ”

"Hey, Aoba," Edward, who heard Izuki's explanation and tilted his head slightly towards Aoba, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice, "If one day, I am eaten by an adventitious worm, and then it is imitated by it, and it looks at my face, can you bear it and shoot it?" ”

"Why not? No matter how much the replica looks like you, it's not you. You said to yourself, if you were faced with a wax figure modeled after me, or a robot with my face attached, would you be able to shoot them decisively? ”

The attitude expressed by Aoba is exactly what Izuki wants to achieve by sharing various information related to thermal and humanoid adventitious insects with many manipulators in the lecture hall. So, after many of the manipulators present expressed their attitude that they would not be deceived by their own eyes, the lecture came to an end.

Because it is more convenient to move in a wheelchair without using your legs, when her comrades-in-arms got up from their seats one after another and rushed to the entrance and exit of the lecture hall, Dior's peace stood on her shoulders, so she and Aoba who could not rest assured of her, temporarily avoided the crowd and moved to the wall to wait.

In the process of waiting, the "Didi" ID informed Ping An that someone had sent her a video call invitation, so after she pressed the accept button on the projection screen, Ling Yi, who was on the Mothership Hope at this time, was displayed in front of Ping An and Aoba.

Regarding the ultimate purpose of the USR's in vivo human brain experiments, which is to complete the upload of consciousness and realize the dream of immortality, the three people who just learned the truth yesterday, Ping An, Aoba and Dior, did not need to discuss, so they unanimously decided that they could not inform Ling Yi of this matter for the time being.

Because, the communication between the advance ship and the mothership was very likely to have been intercepted by Richard at this stage, so it was obviously not advisable to use such a communication channel to talk to Ling Yi about such an important matter.

What's more, Ling Yi was very cautious and cautious in the series of measures he took when investigating the "fake death incident" in private, so respecting his original intention of wanting to go slowly without startling the snake, in order to avoid him being exposed now, he was directly targeted by the USR and many decision-making crew members, and then became in a worrying situation, and after the half-year advance mission was over, the three of them found a secret way to tell him about it, which was obviously more wise.

At a distance from the crowd that flocked to the exit of the lecture hall, Ping An and Aoba, who were chatting with Ling Yi, who had learned about Ping'an's injury from Renhua, fell into the eyes of Annie, who was helping Izuki sort out various materials and take care of various utensils, which simply made her feel unbearable.

It's just that, because she has to help her aunt next, through an online conference, with many people on the mothership, to report and communicate about the situation of the two new adventitious insects, and in the evening, the entire lecture that has just been recorded will be sent to the rest of the crew members who need to know about these situations, but have not been able to come to the scene for various reasons, Anne, who is extremely busy, did not make any trouble in the lecture hall because of her jealousy.

Leaving the multimedia lecture hall, Aoba went to the mecha maintenance workshop according to the request sent to him by Takami, and exchanged a series of questions with him about how well the intermachine performed in all aspects when it fought underwater yesterday. Ping'an, who was separated from him, went to the operator's body management center on the advance ship for the rehabilitation of his right calf according to Shu Lang's doctor's instructions.

In the spacious and bright recuperation room, the wall facing the door of the recuperation room has a large square floor-to-ceiling window that separates the outer space from the interior of the ship.

Outside the transparent window, after completing the offboard mission that afternoon, more than a dozen operators of the mothership escort team were flying smoothly towards the advance ship against the stars not far away, like the sun at dusk.

Indoors, under the guidance of Shu Lang's robot assistant, with a thin sweat on his forehead, he completed today's rehabilitation project, and after the medical robot left, Yu sat back in the wheelchair, slowly sipping the inorganic salt solution, while looking out the window at the magnificent universe in the process, in this room where there was no one else except her and Dior, unintentionally waiting for an uninvited guest.
