Chapter 119: Insect Observation Log (I)
On November 15th, Osaka, this was the first week that Ke Wen released the two alien insects captured in the previous weird riot. When he was in the Hall of Justice, Ke Wen deliberately tested how perfect the perfect replication ability of the two alien worms was, and the result was obvious, the alien worm directly copied Ke Wen's appearance in front of Ke Wen, and at the same time, he also copied all the memories of the Kamen Rider universe and the alien insects in Ke Wen's mind.
They understand what they are, and they understand the meaning of their birth, but they have wisdom and do not intend to accept this meaning, but they have no way to resist, and the instinct engraved into their lives is entangled with their wisdom. And when Cowen let them go, only to lock them up as an adult form of the time stream acceleration ability, they were confused.
Like two prisoners who have served many years in prison who have been released, the world outside that has changed for many years is full of strangeness. The two-headed alien insects named red and blue by Kewen are not difficult to move in human society, they just don't know how to deal with the relationship between their innate instinct and intelligence, and after Kewen let the two of them go, the red and blue alien insects also used their previous mimic Barry and Wally's appearance to mingle in the crowd.
They are confused, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, in the streets of Osaka, the faces of two foreigners in a crowd of Asians are extremely obvious, especially when these two foreigners are both tall and beautiful in terms of people's aesthetics, it is easier to attract the attention of others. Every now and then, women come up to join in the fun, trying to get information about these two handsome guys, but for Red and Blue, they are struggling with instinct and ego at this time.
If they follow instincts that are engraved into life, then don't they become playthings of the will of the universe? Live according to the will of the universe until one day you are killed by the so-called Kamen Rider? No! It's not the life they want, they're not afraid of death, they just shouldn't die in this way, at the mercy of others.
They don't understand the meaning of living like this, just to replicate the appearance of human beings, to live in disguise as human beings, and then kill people, continue to disguise, and finally die ugly, leaving not even a trace. Because they are aliens, the perfect disguise only makes them live as another person, the kind that cannot be recognized by those closest to them, which means that no matter what they do, they are the one they copy and not themselves.
The good thing is it, the bad thing is also it, and once he is exposed, then the people around him will always remember him, on the contrary, as a monster, the insect exposed himself, after he dies, no one will remember himself, they are like real pests, trampled to death and thrown aside, without even glancing. This way of dying may be the most ruthless, no matter if you do good things or bad things, in the end, no one will be grateful to yourself and hate yourself, as if you don't exist in this world at all, is there anything more ruthless than this?
I don't think it's anymore, so the two insects, Red and Blue, with Barry and Wally's faces, didn't do anything to harm humans. Because they don't know what they're satisfying by doing so, and even if they don't kill humans or eat them, they don't live forever. After a week of confusion, they ran into their kind.
Dick in the Hall of Justice, following the perspective of the canned robot released by Cowen, also saw such a picture, in the crowded square, red and blue with the faces of Barry and Wally wandering in the crowd, overwhelmed by the future. And just when the two of them walked to the center of the square, the pedestrians who were coming and going just now also stopped at this time as if pressing the pause button.
Then he turned in the direction of Red and Blue, and looked at the two of them in unison. When he saw this scene, Dick, who was still relaxing his brain, suddenly became energetic, although he had thought about more than one insect before, but there was no evidence, and he had never personally touched a similar one, but now, he saw that through the canned robot put by Kewen, he saw how terrible this creature called the insect was.
He himself is also a big disciple trained by Batman, and he can be regarded as flying solo, and later studied in the death knell training class, in terms of insight, he can be regarded as in the top ten in the world, probably. But in the picture just now, if it weren't for the fact that these insects revealed their identities, he wouldn't have noticed that these pedestrians in this square were insects, how many people can be accommodated in a square, let alone about 200 people, it would be no problem.
But of these 200 or so people, Dick can't tell whether it's human or not, which is terrifying. Because this means that these intelligent creatures called alien insects have silently penetrated into every corner of human society.
"Tsk, it's a big problem, you guy, can you really have a chance to turn the tables with these two?" Secretly scolded, Dick also understood the seriousness of the matter, but now he can't do anything, far water can't quench his thirst, there are alien insects infiltrated in Japan, why won't the local people be hit, and with this perfect replication ability, he can't tell the truth or falsehood even when standing in front of Dick.
While he was shocked and frightened by the perfect replication ability of the alien insects, Dick was also there to watch the image that Cowen had captured through the canning robot, and there were no traffic cameras in this area, or there were, but they had been dropped by someone with a heart. In short, the pedestrians who stopped in unison in the square, looking at their two unusually behaving kinds, also appeared in front of Red and Blue.
The entire square, including red and blue, all showed their original appearance, colors, and different forms of adult insects, only red and blue were larval forms, and the adult forms were locked by Kewen.
"One, two, what's the matter with you, why can't you transform." In the square, a scorpion-shaped silver insect said.
"It's not that we can't metamorphose, it's that we've been locked up by that guy called Kamen Rider, and now we already have so many of our kind in human society?"
explained, looking at the strange insects that surrounded the two of them, as well as this square, the two people who were immersed in their own world didn't notice anything unusual. For humans, it is true that the perfect replication ability of the alien worm cannot distinguish between the real and the fake, but for them who are also alien insects, they have their own set of identification methods, as long as the alien worm does not lose itself due to excessive perfect replication, it can basically be recognized.
The reason why I didn't pay attention during this time was only because the red and blue states were not in the right state, and I didn't notice the pheromone transmission between the insects.
"Damn Kamen Rider, it's really our lifelong enemy!" The other beetle with a chelica cursed, glanced at Red and Blue, and quickly confirmed the treatment plan, "No wonder you didn't notice our information transmission just now, it turned out that you were struggling with yourself and now you have changed back to larval form, this is very easy to do, since he blocked your adult form, then you will devour a few more humans, and use the quantity to make up for the qualitative gap, as for those humans who are devoured, we have more larvae to replenish." ”
When it comes to the problem that the red and blue insects have been entangled with before, they are also excited.
"Devouring a few more humans, the question is, what is the point of us devouring humans? Like humans, we are omnivores, and we don't need to devour humans to live, so what is the point of us devouring humans? ”
"Why are you two asking such questions, what it means to devour humanity? Isn't the meaning that we can replace humans? Our ability to reproduce perfectly is so strong, and our ability to reproduce is not inferior to that of humans, and more importantly, we are more united than humans. We are more suitable to be the masters of this planet, and when humanity is completely replaced by us, we will be new human beings! ”
The other adult answers Red and Blue's question, but the answer makes Red and Blue think. I looked at the body of my larva at this time, and then looked at the adult body of the same family, which was basically carved out of a mold, except for the difference in color and shape, there was basically no major change. They are alien insects, no matter how they imitate and how they are perfectly reproduced, they are alien insects, and they cannot change the fact.
But their own people seem to have forgotten this, and they think that if they devour humans, change into human form, and get rid of the shortcomings of human nests, they can become new human beings. The memories that had been copied from Curwen's side, as well as their own wisdom, told Red and Blue that they would not become the masters of this planet, nor would they become new humans, they were aliens.
"Tsk, what's the matter with you two, it's our mission to devour humanity, and humans have occupied so many things, it's time to spit it out for other intelligent life species to enjoy. Don't forget that we were born for this, and we will transform into adults as soon as possible, the day of judgment is coming, and we need more people! ”
I didn't understand Red and Blue's sudden nervousness, and after the insect gave Red and Blue instructions, his body squirmed for a while, and he changed into a human again. The square that had stopped just now also resumed its flow, and the time flow acceleration ability was activated, and the insects that had gathered in the square also disappeared into the crowd and disappeared without a trace. Only the red and blue insects that remain in the appearance of Barry and Wally are left, in a daze for this so-called mission.
Dick, who was in charge of reading the Worm's investigation logs, also captured key information from the conversation.
"The day of judgment? What the hell is this, damn, Kewen, what the hell are you doing, don't tell me that you plan to let these two alien insects rebel against this entire alien insect race, it's a bit fake, and even if you can succeed, two challenges to one race, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning! ”
Rubbing his aching eyebrows, Dick at this time no longer knew what the back hand arranged by Ke Wen, headache the perfect replication ability of the race called the alien worm, and thought of the Titan members who were tortured by the dreams of the people in the mirror in the conference room at this time, Dick began to wonder if his new generation could handle the big events that might happen next.
Just when Dick felt a big head for the operation of a riddler like Cowen, Cowen's voiceover sounded again: "If you see this, you should be able to see the observation target meet the clan, of course, I am not there, this is my guess." But there can't be just two insects, right, so I'm sure I'm right. ”
"Damn, you've been arrested, and you can still leave a voice pack to interact with me in advance, why don't you talk to me about stand-up comedy?"
Listening to Kewen's voiceover, Dick opened his mouth, and couldn't help but spit out the fragrance for a while, this kind of operation was really something Dick didn't expect. It's just that the place I didn't expect came, even if it was the voice pack left in advance, Ke Wen seemed to guess that Dick was complaining that he was talking about stand-up comedy, and replied directly.
"That's, I've all been arrested, it's hard to do a skit with you if you don't talk about stand-up comedy, isn't that funny?"
Resisting the urge to smash the computer, Dick shut up, thinking that if he heard Curvin's voiceover again, he might do something. And on the screen, Kewen's voiceover continues.
"As you can see, the wisdom of the insects is not inferior to ours, although it was born with a mission to fight against humanity. But there are good people, bad people, beasts, and insects, and as time goes by, they themselves will think, is it really necessary to go toe-to-toe with humans? There will also be insects among them who begin to think, maybe there is a way to get along with humans, the perfect replication ability of insects, to some extent, is a double-edged sword, and now, I am conducting an experiment, I don't know the results of the experiment, you can help me see, in case it happens, but I am gone, remember to burn the video to me. ”
At the end of the voiceover, another sentence was spoken, and the voice pack that Cowen had left in the canned robot was completely played, and Dick cursed and clicked the button to continue playing, opening another video in the folder. As soon as it was opened, it was not the insect avatars codenamed Red and Blue that came out, but the messages of two young people.
Hideki Xiang, age 25, professional racing driver, physical condition, terminal illness, character, kindness.
Clusters, age 27, unemployed, character, kind, brave.
[These two people were randomly encountered by me when I threw the two insects Red and Blue to Osaka, and there was nothing surprising about them, but their personalities made me feel that if they came into contact with Red and Blue, maybe something different would happen, which was my intuition, so I used a canned robot to guide these two people and let them come into contact with Red and Blue. 】
After such a subtitle appears, the scene also returns to the two insects, Red and Blue, who are still walking aimlessly through the streets of Osaka with the faces of Barry and Wally. They don't know that their own people are devouring humans there at this time, and living in human society in the place of this human identity, they just feel lost.
"Red, are we going to go on like this, devouring humans and metamorphosing into worms until that Kamen Rider kills us?"
"I don't know, since he released us, and after he knew the so-called truth, I really don't know what to do, what do you say we replace humans, in the end we are not living as another human being, we don't have ourselves at all. If we really die in the end, I'd rather die as an alien worm, at least in this way, the earth, the universe will remember that such a creature existed, and the rest, I don't care. ”
"Really? In that case, let's separate for the time being, we are all going to die anyway, and before I die, I want to really understand what kind of creature the human beings we are trying to replace by the alien insects, and I haven't had a good understanding of it until now. ”
"Goodbye, then, Blue."
"Goodbye, Red."
The two insects, Red and Blue, also said goodbye on the streets, and went to find the answers they wanted. The two disappeared from the crowd, and soon, the insect codenamed Blue, with the hole in the bar, also arrived at a traffic intersection. At the same time, as Ke Wen had a hunch, in a car repair shop opposite the blue worm, the young man named Xiang Xiushu, who was mentioned in the document earlier, also ended the car repair work with a smile.
"Ahem, guest, your car has been repaired, but this car is also some years old, for your future consideration, I suggest you change it, if you have this idea, I can also look for a good car here, just within your affordability."
"Hahaha, thank you for your kindness, township, I also understand, it's just that this car was with me when I started my business, and after all these years, even a stone has to be covered with heat, how can I be willing to sell it." But your suggestion is good, I'll go back and discuss it with my wife, and then I'll come to you to buy it. ”
"Walk slowly, ahem."
For the enthusiasm of this young man named Xiangxiushu, the guest did not feel wrong, and understood that the advice of others was for their own consideration. The car is aging, even if it can be repaired, the performance can't keep up, and it's right to buy a new one. Since it's buying a new car, and the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, why don't you earn it for your friends? Just listening to the coughing sound of the young man, the gray-eyed guest couldn't help but sigh when he left the store.
"What a good young man, with a shop and a girlfriend, alas."
Seeing the customer leave, the pale township also continued his work today with a few coughs. And the girlfriend who came back from the purchase also hurried over after stopping the car, stopped her boyfriend's work, and said with anger.
"What are you doing, township! Why don't you come to the store for a little longer? ”
"Ha, Qiuzi, I know my own physical condition, staying in bed can't solve any problems, wouldn't it be better to have this time to help you run the store more."
"Don't say that, township, you will get better, we will go abroad this time, there must be good doctors abroad who can cure you!"
"I'm just worried that you're doing this kind of thing so I haven't been willing to rest, this shop is you, I still have your brother's hard work, even if I really have to leave, you have to live well, you see, everyone outside is living so desperately, I'm also trying to live until the last moment, you accompany me like this, give up your life, that's the biggest disrespect for you and everything I have ever lived, isn't it?"
Holding his girlfriend, there was no fear of death on his face, he just looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, breathing every bit of air, and remembering every face he saw, until he met the four eyes of the insect codenamed Blue.
