The Red Nautilus is the smallest of the 12 realms in the center, with only four large human regions except for the sea that covers half of the planet. Of these four regions, three are closely related to each other, sharing the same vast continent; Only the last lonely cyber area hanging in the ocean has become the foothold of Lin Sanjiu after coming to the red nautilus world.

Although she knew that her luck had never been too good, the long journey from the howling cape to the free zone still made her sigh.

Looking out the window, she was tired of the blue, unchanging sea. A few days ago, the ship flew over forest-like rocky thickets, volcanic formations of high and low mountains, and vast expanses of dark red nautilus shells — and since then, the sea has been endless.

These days feel so long, probably because she has to keep an eye on the soul queen all the time.

Surprisingly, it had been remarkably quiet for the past few days, without resistance, and had not even tried to confuse Zhang Huabi or Captain Ma Long with illusions—but the more this happened, the tighter the strings in Lin Sanjiu's mind felt.

Compared to when she 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. It's just that after all, it wears a human skin, and the stretched skin has no support, and is loosely piled up on the abdomen, which makes people dare not look at it even more: every time Malone comes in to deliver food and water, his eyes always remain on the top of everyone's heads.

According to the Queen of Souls, after breaking away from the shell. The souls will revert to their original size; It's just that the larger the original volume, the longer it will take to recover. After the red nautilus was sunk by humans, they had to lie dormant at the bottom of the sea for many years, and then they finally came ashore again - counting the days, it was probably exactly a month or two before Lin Sanjiu teleported.

For the soul, this point in time is really unlucky.

"Are you just like a worm crawling from the sea into the city?" Lin Sanjiu asked with interest, "Come, let's talk about it from the beginning." ”

The Soul Queen was silent for half a second, and she couldn't tell what kind of attitude it had through the human skin: "...... Of course not. When we are close to the surface of the sea, we can release chemical hormones into the air. Basically. Most carbon-based organisms react to this hormone, most commonly coma. ”

Speaking of this, it couldn't help but glance at Zhang Huabi, and then swept towards Lin Sanjiu.

In fact, it was as early as the time when I missed it on the reef cliff. The Queen of Souls had already secretly sprayed them with this chemical hormone once - it would take a long time for this hormone to be secreted and accumulated. It's squirting out as much as it's been in the past month; But I didn't expect Lin Sanjiu's mouth and nose to be like an ornament. Unaware, he chopped off the lower half of his body unaffected.

Unlike Zhang Huabi, Lin Sanjiu has no special items for self-defense. But after all, she had suffered a loss once before and learned a lesson, so when dealing with souls, she had already turned on the [Protective Force Field] and "wrapped" her head and face.

After the battle of Ruyue Station, her control ability has increased dramatically, and her consciousness has slowly increased every day due to her growth physique, and she is already surprisingly abundant now—in fact, since entering the spaceship, her [protective force field] has never been turned off.

It's just that judging from Ma Long's reaction, the Soul Queen doesn't seem to have made any more small moves.

"You go on."

It was obviously a creature that didn't need to breathe, but the Soul Queen still opened her mouth when she heard this—through her mouth, she could vaguely see something that did not belong to a human being, flashing from the depths of "Ward's" throat.

"People who are unlucky enough to inhale hormones are naturally put on by us...... Carriers like AYU were the first to wear human skins. After they send more of their compatriots into the city, they will find more people to wear them, and from then on they will live in human settlements, build nests, and collect supplies......"

"Are your more than a thousand souls in the cyber zone?"

"No...... The number of carriers is too small, only seven, and there are very few people close to the coastline...... So we can only enter in many batches; Some are in the cyber zone, but most of the compatriots are still at the bottom of the sea. ”

"I've seen one of your flesh cavities...... It's full of unconscious people, so what's it for? ”

The queen paused, as if she was reluctant to continue. But an important reason why Lin Sanjiu took the trouble to bring AYU and another group of souls was to blackmail each other with them - if the soul queen refused to speak, she would cut open AYU and kill a soul; If it is not true, or if it does not match the truth, then kill another soul.

Sure enough, it still opened its mouth: "...... It was all for the sake of the compatriots who came after. No matter how great our ability is, there are limitations, and we can't just stun humans on the street...... That's our storage silo. You smell of our storage silos, which is why AYU will follow you. ”

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but sniff himself, but he didn't find any taste. She frowned and asked, "Reserve?" I see that many of the people in it are almost unhuman because of a long-term coma, how can you use it? ”

The Soul Queen said calmly: "Use what you can use, forget if you can't use it, anyway, there will always be new humans sent to the storage warehouse." ”

In other words, if it weren't for themselves, then the sheep's hoof man and the young man in the tunic would probably die just as a "spare consumable...... Lin Sanjiu tried not to reveal his inner emotions, and asked as expressionlessly as possible: "When you are in a coma, human beings will fall into illusions?" ”

The Soul Queen nodded.

"So...... When did I pass out in a coma? ”

The queen knew the state of all souls, so she should have known what Sajah was doing—and sure enough, she moved and said, "You have dealt with spirits alone, and you have been infected with our scent but have not been stunned, so you have just come out of that path." was noticed by another compatriot...... Sajay is one of the people who is responsible for transporting your soul. ”

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment—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 find the young man who led the way, but she didn't expect that she would be stunned before she even reached the underground market!

The Queen's words were not finished.

"You were woken up once before you entered the cracks in the earth; Then Saki leads you with a vision, and you step by step into the storage silo under the cracks. ”

…… In this way, many places make sense.

The Yotei people and the others did not act with her, judging from their physical condition, they had already been several months before Lin Sanjiu. was thrown into the flesh cavity. And the reason why she was able to see the "neighbor" in the flesh cavity in the illusion. even saw Sajah, the "guide", because her consciousness was trying her best to remind her that everything around her was wrong.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly shuddered a little—she had rarely felt this way since she had died once in Ruyue Station.

Zhang Huabi sat quietly on the side. His expression was a little stunned. There were a lot of things she didn't know. Therefore, it is also confusing. It's just that Lin Sanjiu didn't plan to tell her everything, so for a while, the spaceship fell into a strange tranquility.

This brief silence was interrupted by a "squeak".

Malone poked his head in. It was exactly four pairs of eyes. He coughed and pushed the door open with his shoulder, revealing a tray in his hand: two cups next to a small pot of water, and a small plate of jerky and a few pieces of cake.

As the only staff member on board, the captain had to do everything.

Although Lin Sanjiu gave the captain a lot of red crystals as a cost for drinking water, Malone came in too often; It's not even half past today, he's already been here twice, and the last time he brought some dried fruit.

glanced at the middle-aged man, Lin Sanjiu wanted to say something, but felt that she was probably too careful; As soon as she stretched out her hand to the kettle, Malone hurriedly said a few words "I'll come, I'll come", and diligently poured her a glass of water.

The water in the glass is clear and flawless, and it looks refreshingly cold.

The two souls on the opposite side sat expressionlessly, not even glancing at the water; Since just now, Zhang Huabi has been looking out the window, as if she is not very interested. After thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu took a sip of water.

It tasted like ordinary water, with a slight rusty touch, sliding briskly down her throat.

I waited quietly for a long time, and there was nothing unusual.

It seemed that she was indeed overly attentive - Lin Sanjiu exhaled and withdrew his consciousness from the water.

"This cake is good, can you taste it?" Malone stayed a little longer this time, and said with a smile: "This is what I brought when I passed through Debesas, it is a specialty there, and people love to bring it when they teleport......"

Somehow, Lin Sanjiu found that it was difficult to say "don't use it first".

After a pause, she finally picked up the cake - the egg yolk cake looked crispy and burnt, and exuded a faint strange aroma, which made people quite appetizing, but a piece of bread was bigger than a human head, and it was not easy to hold.

While tearing off a corner with his hand, Lin Sanjiu turned his head and said, "I know, you go back first-"

Before she could finish her sentence, her vision suddenly blurred.

The dark gray smoke evaporated out of nowhere, and it seemed to be slow, but it covered the entire space in the blink of an eye—Lin Sanjiu was startled, and just jumped up, only to find that there was only a deep and shallow, foggy smoky gray in her field of vision.

The fog was so thick that when she looked down, she couldn't even see her own chest; Still raising her hand in front of her, she realized that a raging mist was constantly spewing out from the gap in the cake.

As the smoke rose and fell in front of her, she could even see tiny particles in it; After only two breaths, she already felt uncomfortable with the fire burning in her nose.

【Haze Essence】

As the name suggests, this particular item is the essence of the heavy haze that has been collected over the years; In addition to obscuring vision and causing serious health problems, it can also be stored in a variety of items, aiming for a dramatic effect when released that will throw you in the face without noticing.

Ma Long didn't suddenly attack him, this was definitely the handiwork of two souls - Lin Sanjiu just scolded secretly. Immediately, I felt that my eyes hurt, as if I had been scratched by something, and I couldn't stop crying. The effect of the haze spirit was immediate, but in just two seconds, her nose, mouth, and eyes were so uncomfortable that she felt like she had been buried in the sand.

Just a moment before she couldn't help but close her eyes, a black shadow stabbed from her side violently - at the same time as her hair flashed, the [Consciousness Scan] suddenly opened, and Lin San narrowly twisted his body, avoiding a knight's spear in Ma Long's hand.

"Zhang Huabi!" Hold your foot. She couldn't help but growl. "Look at them!"

There was no response in the thick fog.

Zhang Huabi's shadow. It was as if swallowed by a thick fog; She didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and she was still sitting quietly - if Lin Sanjiu could see it, she would have noticed that this fat girl had just yawned boringly.

The knight's spear poked its head out from the side like a snake, and Lin Sanjiu's bone wings moved slightly. Immediately he answered like a living creature. Caught the spear.

In fact, in terms of combat power. Malone is really not much stronger than the Soul Clan. With a little brainstorming, she could come up with at least five or six ways to deprive him of mobility; However, what really restrained Lin Sanjiu was not the spaceship that was sailing high in the sky. It's not about the two souls lurking in the shadows—

It's that she can't do anything to Marlon.

【Love over time】

I heard that there is a psychological phenomenon that the more you see a face, the more you think it looks good-maybe this is the theoretical basis for long-term love, right? Thanks to this psychology of people, many single dogs have been saved.

A middle-aged man with little money and no charm developed this ability as a last resort; I thought I could marry a daughter-in-law from now on, but I didn't expect it to act on my enemies.

How to use: Be sure to let the target see themselves a few more times. The more times you do, the stronger the other person's affection for you will be, and the less likely they will be to attack you.

In order to display this ability, Ma Long had obviously been preparing for several days - Lin Sanjiu had seen him two or three times a day on average in the past few days, so once she was hit, the effect was immediately obvious: once she had the idea of fighting back, her hands seemed to have been pulled out of the bones, and she immediately hung down, without fighting spirit.

In the thick fog, from the direction where the two souls were, there was a low rustling sound. Lin San mentioned it in his heart, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the spear hit her bone wing again—at the same time, a very light "click" was quickly caught by her ears.

Almost in the next second, she realized what it was.

It was the sound of the black leather rope sliding off the Queen of Souls.

The two souls didn't expect Malone to defeat her, all in order to create a mess that they could exploit - the [Slave Girl's Bondage Rope] was originally something that Lin Sanjiu snatched from the Garden of Eden, but they didn't know its correct use, and they didn't have the tools to do it; Being able to bind the Soul Queen for so long was already somewhat unexpected.

It seems that it is not possible to do without that...... Lin Sanjiu thought a little reluctantly. Immediately, she gritted her teeth, and a thin shadow just appeared in her hand, and she immediately slapped her backhand on the ground.

"Stop!"

Since this action did not cause any substantial damage to Marlon, the [Reality of the Soul Queen] was successfully released from the [Card of Nostradamus] and quickly engulfed the owner of the knight's spear.

This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had used the ability of the soul clan, she waited for a few seconds with a heart, and finally found that the smoky gray smoke around her gradually dissipated - behind the thick fog, Ma Long had a pale face, and he didn't know what kind of "reality" he saw, panting, and slowly slid down the wall to the ground, and the spear smashed down with a bang.

The Queen of Souls, who had once again earned her freedom, was standing not far away at this time, quietly watching her.

Because it has no legs, the way it "stands" up is so weird that it makes people's scalps tingle - but Lin Sanjiu's gaze only paused on it for half a second, and then swept towards AYU beside the queen.

AYU was standing next to a window, and outside the window, there was the vast sky and the sea.

Lin Sanjiu exhaled slowly.

She didn't know how the ship worked, nor how fast or how high it was; But judging from the common sense she learned before the apocalypse, once this window is broken, I'm afraid that only the soul will survive.

She smiled under the intense gaze of her soul, and then pulled over the single sofa that she had just knocked over, and sat down quietly.

As the Soul Queen was visibly stunned, AYU behind her immediately lowered her hand.

"You ...... After so many twists and turns, the main reason is to find the body to reproduce the next generation, right? Lin Sanjiu deliberately slowed down his tone, and every word was knowingly asked.

"However, no matter how many places you change, you will never find a body that allows you to reproduce." She nodded at the Queen of Souls and said, "And the reason why you have taken a fancy to me is because I am different from ordinary people and have modifiable genes...... Also, I have succeeded in reinventing my body. ”

When the Soul Queen's gaze fell on the bone wings behind her, Lin Sanjiu was almost sure that he had seen a flash of light.

"But haven't you ever wondered how I can reinvent myself?" She tilted her head and asked softly.

Sure enough, this question made the Queen of Souls speak.

“…… What did you do? ”

"Because I know someone." Lin Sanjiu's smile remained unchanged, "She has created an intelligent creature that has never existed in this world before—and this creature can also mate and reproduce." ”

Only the devil knows whether the "sages" will reproduce or not—but that doesn't stop her from continuing: "Out of friendship, she also modified my body...... You've seen my bone wings, right? ”

The people in this world who would like to believe that Nuwa made weapons for their enemies were probably not born yet—the Soul Queen was no exception, and her eyes stared at the bone wings straight before she finally spoke.

"You...... What is the meaning? ”

"What I want to say is actually quite clear." Lin Sanjiu's voice was cool and cool: "The first choice is that you continue to stand there, and then I kill you before you break the window; The second option is that you come back, sit on this couch, and think about what you should ask of my friend after you see me. You tell me? ”

…… While the Free Zone was in sight, the Queen of Souls was sitting on a single couch, motionless looking at the human world outside the ship. (To be continued......)
