With a "snap", a shapeless shadow fell from Lin Sanjiu's hand, and when it fell to the ground, the empty limbs threw out an arc in mid-air, and then fell softly on the torso. The red-haired old Jack's body sac cracked a long slit in his back, exposed to the fluorescent lamp.

Almost at the same time as it touched the ground, a small shadow suddenly flashed out of the nest and rushed towards the sac, quickly sinking into the crack with a piercing scream.

Lin Sanjiu quietly watched as the corpse bulged out like a cloth bag - it was obvious that there was not much to get into, but the torso of the corpse was gradually filled, and it began to take on an appearance close to that of a real human; But the change didn't last long—when "Old Jack the Redhead" rose from the ground, he and his companions didn't look like the same creatures.

It was as if a fist had been shoved into his face, and most of his head hung down softly, resting on a chin shaped like a rotten peach; The arms swayed empty beside the body, the thing that supported the body sac disappeared at the thigh, and the end of the limp calf dragged the two foot-shaped bags together and folded below the thighs—at first glance, it felt as if a person had been half melted and was flowing to the floor.

The fourth thing barely opened its mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

But this was enough - Lin Sanjiu himself was faintly surprised: he couldn't imagine that one of her most incredible guesses turned out to be the truth.

AYU glanced at the half-standing body of the red-haired old Jack. He looked at Lin Sanjiu again, his mouth pursed tightly - among the four creatures, she was most like a real living person.

Was it because she was the first to empty humans and wear corpses? Lin Sanjiu secretly guessed.

“…… Your body bag has no flesh and blood and bones for us to eat, and even if you put a 'soul' in it, you can't become like a few of us. When AYU spoke again, her apparent composure seemed to disappear for a moment, but after her voice trembled, she returned to normal. This body bag is our handiwork - who are you? Why do illusions no longer work for you? ”

"I thought you didn't need my answer so much." Lin Sanjiu saluted back and showed her snow-white teeth. At her feet. Several translucent pieces of flesh squeaked and screamed like rats. escaped from the broken nest of flesh and shook off the slime; In the blink of an eye, the piece of flesh that had been pierced by the bone spur collapsed on the ground, convulsed and died.

Every piece of meat that dies. The faces of AYU and the other three were ugly.

"Is that what you gave birth to?" Lin Sanjiu's expression could even be said to be a little cruel. She pinched the last piece of flesh that was still struggling. The disgust and sarcasm in his voice could not be hidden. "Kill her child in front of her mother...... I'm sorry. ”

"I've said I don't-" AYU didn't finish his sentence, and as Lin Sanjiu's fingers suddenly closed, he immediately raised his voice: "-Wait! ”

Amber eyes turned to her. The lump of meat made a high-pitched sound as the pressure stopped.

"Okay, okay," AYU said, holding up her only hand and surrendering, "...... What the hell are you going to do? We won't touch you, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, okay? ”

Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, and the bone wings behind her gently raised with her emotions - the other party's reaction was not unexpected.

From the confrontation just now, it can already be seen that this creature is not good at fighting; And since Lin Sanjiu smashed half of the meat nest, the three AYU on the other side have not stopped trying to create illusions - once or twice, the illusions did appear realistically for a few seconds, but they quickly disintegrated in the images transmitted back by consciousness.

Having been relieved of their biggest reliance, the three of AYU could only stand not far away defensively, not even daring to rush over to save the piece of meat that she had slaughtered. They also knew very well that in terms of combat strength alone, Lin Sanjiu could kill them several times.

"The problem is, you've already messed with me, and more than once." Feeling the slippery touch between his fingers, Lin Sanjiu called out a tube of potato chips from Ruyue Station a little disgustingly, emptied it, and stuffed the meat pieces into it. “…… Well, where should I ask first...... What the hell are you? ”

AYU's expression looked like someone had stuffed a handful of dirt in his mouth. She glared at the Pringles cone before answering, "...... Soul. We are souls. ”

"The soul is what the you look like?"

"No, no...... Soul is the name of our people. I don't know if it's because of the hostage relationship, AYU cooperates strangely: "This name has been following us since our hometown...... I don't know who named it, but it's exact, don't you think? Whatever the creature is to us, it's just a flesh and skin, and it's us who really dominate - just like you humans call souls. ”

"Where are you from? How did you get here? ”

"Have you ever heard of a post-apocalyptic world called The Walking Dead? That's our hometown. AYU's dark eyes stared at her, and behind her, the other two bodies that had been hollowed out by the "soul" were also expressionless. “…… When the end of the world came, it was also the time when our race was born. ”

Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a chill burst out from behind her - "You guys...... Are you the reason for the end of the world? ”

AYU nodded slowly.

Other words...... They are the same as the extreme temperature of hell, the bitter cold of ice and snow storms, and the nuclear radiation of the Garden of Eden...... It's all the same thing.

Lin Sanjiu never thought that the cause of the end of the world could be ...... Travel.

"No, no," she suddenly remembered something, "the end of this world has already come once, brought by the extraterrestrial creature Red Nautilus—"

The second half of the sentence was suddenly swallowed back into her stomach.

AYU glanced at her, smiled and said, "What do you think is inside the red nautilus?" …… It's us. ”

"Red Nautilus Realm. It's already the third world outside of our hometown. In the previous world, we found this creature as powerful as its size...... So we changed from the previous skin to the body of the red nautilus. After eating the inside of a creature, our souls will create a similar structure in the skin pouch, thus gaining some of the abilities of the creature...... That's why I'm able to speak and move like you humans. In the same way, after we ate the nautilus, we were able to manipulate their slime and tentacles - and we came into this world by manipulating these huge shells. ”

Lin Sanjiu's fingers pressed the lid of the potato chip tube, and it was already faintly white. It took a while for her to feel like she finally understood AYU's words.

"Do you also change worlds every 14 months?"

"Oh. No. AYU shook her head. There are places where humans already have the ability to travel across the stars, and there are places where creatures, like the nautilus, are able to travel through space after being eaten by us - because they have been hollowed out, so they no longer have to consume oxygen and food. Before coming into this world. We've been in the dark for nearly a hundred years. ”

Nearly 100 years - Lin Sanjiu was shocked. The apocalyptic world began a hundred years ago? But think about it. If the Soul Clan had sailed beyond a certain speed and through the dimension, the timing would have been uncertain...... Because it involves a field of physics that she doesn't know about. Lin Sanjiu didn't think about it deeply.

Knowing that the other party's attitude of answering questions was a bit strange, she couldn't help but continue to ask: "...... Why do you keep traveling to the New World? ”

"Why do sheep eat grass? Why do fish swim? And why should humanity struggle in the end times? It's all because of the most basic reproductive instinct in genes. Like you, we will reproduce; In order to find the skin that allows us to reproduce, we have to keep trying. What's more, as long as we don't die, every time we change our skins, we are equivalent to being reborn once. ”

“…… You're saying you can't reproduce? ”

AYU's face darkened, and his gaze fell back on the potato chip cone. "That's right. All the souls you see come out of the first Walking Dead realm, and I'm just a carrier; For so long, we've had fewer babies and never had a newborn...... If you kill five souls today, we're missing five souls. That's why I want to talk to you about it, there's no deep hatred between us, we really don't have to lose both. ”

"Oh? So what do you want? ”

"There's still your friends in the R zone, right? Under the influence of our chemical hormones, it is very harmful for them to sleep like this...... Take so many people to exchange a soul with you and be at peace, don't you suffer? AYU even half-jokingly said, "We don't have anything but an empty skin, so we can't compensate for your injuries." ”

And the two behind her, as well as the red-haired old Jack who looked like a half-melt, never said a word, as if they were all at the disposal of AYU.

Lin Sanjiu felt that her mind was already filled with a lot of information, and it was even a little difficult to think - but finally she nodded. It wasn't long before the ship landed, anyway, save the people in the R section from the "soul" mouth first, and then talk about the rest slowly - AYU did keep his promise, and after a few hours, when the ship began to slowly land, let the other two men wake them up.

Although she still had a stomach full of doubts, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when Lin Sanjiu saw Ward rubbing his eyes and getting up from the ground, and Zhang Huabi was startled by two men when she first woke up. The other passengers didn't know they had just escaped being eviscerated, and were still muttering that they weren't comfortable sleeping.

"Alright, now you should give that soul back to me, right?"

After most of the passengers left one after another, AYU, who was left at the end, said to Lin Sanjiu with a smile. Beside her, Ward and Zhang Huabi followed her closely as if to protect her, staring at AYU and the others with a defensive expression - even if they couldn't see the meat nest and the red-haired old Jack at the end of the corridor, it was obvious that they felt that it was too abnormal for them to suddenly sleep until the spaceship landed.

To be honest, Lin Sanjiu didn't quite know what he should do.

She didn't want to just give up her soul—the only proof she had of a creature like that—but she didn't want to get entangled with it. After all, after they get used to their skins, they look like real people; If the Soul Clan keeps sending people to attack and harass, even if she is not afraid, she has to think about her friends.

With a little reluctance, Lin Sanjiu handed over the potato chip cone.

However, when AYU reached out to pick it up, she suddenly took it back and narrowed her eyes.

"You said so much that I almost forgot to ask something." Lin Sanjiu stared at AYU tightly, feeling his fingers cold. “…… Why did you let the passengers in the R zone pass out? ”

AYU's mouth opened and closed for a moment, and he didn't make any sound for a moment.

"After you gave birth to the first batch of souls, Zhang Huabi found that you became pregnant again." Lin Sanjiu wished that he had guessed wrong, but the hairs behind her back had already stood up. "That is, you carry more than nine souls...... Then before you went to find me in the Meat Nest, you stunned the passengers in the R Zone. ”

The man behind him seemed to move, but before anything could happen, the bone wings had spread rapidly, and the beast defended its master.

“…… On one side is the soul, and on the other side is the ready-made skin," Lin Sanjiu's eyes were as dry as his throat and uncomfortable: "...... The people in the R area have been hollowed out a long time ago, right? ”

As she finished saying this, she felt a gentle knock on the bone wing behind her.

Lin Sanjiu turned around slowly.

Zhang Huabi looked at her expressionlessly, and the little curls that had always been a little funny were tightly pressed against her scalp at this time, making her look unnatural somewhere.

Ward was different.

The dark blonde-haired youth, both in expression and movement, was as flexible and real as when he was alive, as if it were him.

"I deliberately delayed it for so long, just to make their appearance natural," Ward, or rather, the creature in Ward, said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to find out." ”

Lin Sanjiu felt a little like throwing up.

She didn't know how souls hollowed out humans, but she also knew that it was rare for souls to become so alive in such a short period of time.

"Ward" held out a hand at her and smiled again.

"Hello, I'm the Queen of the Soul Clan, and I'm glad to be able to ...... today Put on you. (To be continued......)
