The roar of the waterfall was still coming from behind Song Xiaocheng, but it was already a little far away. I had been walking alone in the jungle for an unknown amount of time, and there was nothing in the circle except for all sorts of strangely shaped and curly foliage ferns.

Not even a living creature.

It seems that the spiritual connection with Huan Lingyu has been completely broken. Although according to Huan Shao's statement, Song Xiaocheng, who is now lost in the waterfall forest, is just a small piece of spiritual fragments, but in his own feelings, he is still a real, flesh-and-blood living person.

If this continues, Song Xiaocheng is afraid that he will only have two fates: either he will be dyed of thirst and starve to death in this deep forest, or he will suddenly burst out of a big insect in a certain corner, and he will eat himself in two by three. After all, he now has no strength from Igna, it's like jumping into Tiger Mountain empty-handed, and if he really encounters any difficult opponents, he won't have any ability to resist except for teeth and nails.

But until now, he hasn't seen a single bug. Is this really the plane of insects? Song Xiaocheng even doubted Huan Lingyu's words.

When Huan Shao first talked about "bugs", Song Xiaocheng thought that this should be the last of the three supernatural events in X City without any suspense - the arsonist Yuan Zhangsu he had already seen, and the zombie matter was already known to the world, but the pile of mysterious bugs had never appeared.

Malu centipede ...... Song Xiaocheng was a little unsure if he hoped to see the storyline about the bugs here.

Song Xiaocheng felt that as long as he kept going in one direction, he should always be able to meet something. So he walked almost aimlessly in one direction farther and farther away, until he couldn't even hear the sound of the waterfall.

Everything around was quiet, and gradually even the sound of the waterfall could no longer be heard. There were no insects, no birds, not even a single wind in the dense jungle. Song Xiaocheng felt that his throat was about to stick together, and his tongue and lips were already sticky because of dryness.

"Go eat the leaves. ”

A strange thought appeared in Song Xiaocheng's mind.

No. Song Xiaocheng immediately dispelled that thought. Only lower animals eat leaves. Humans are higher animals and have to eat the bodies of other animals.

"Go eat the leaves. The leaves are delicious. ”

The strange thought was still not kicked out of his head. Song Xiaocheng's eyes were always drifting with leaves of different shapes. The curled vines look delicate and green, the delicate fern leaves still hang with crystal dew, and a small tender green fruit drags in the middle of a plate of large, fat leaves.

"Go eat the leaves. Go eat. ”

Why should I eat leaves!

"Go eat. Eating is good for you. ”

Song Xiaocheng simply ignored the thought, just kept his head and continued to walk forward, he began to think about Xiao Yu, thinking about her smiling face, thinking about the joy he felt when he was alone with her for the first time, hoping that this imagination could squeeze out that strange thought.

"Go eat the leaves. Go eat leaves, go eat leaves, go eat leaves. ”

All right. Well, maybe that's not a bad idea, and there's nothing else to eat anyway, so it doesn't hurt to try it.

Song Xiaocheng stopped, and there happened to be a sufficiently attractive plant in front of him. The delicate stem of the grass holds a small fluffy ball high, sparsely covered with slender hairs, and each hair has a crystal clear water drop on the top, which looks very cute

"Well, Xiaoqiuqiu, you look delicious!" Song Xiaocheng said, still hesitating whether he wanted to pick off the fluffy ball, and at the same time leaned his face in front of the ball, thinking that he would just bite it with his teeth and eat it in his mouth.

However, when he got close enough to the cute fluffy ball, another strange thought crossed his mind.

While Song Xiaocheng was looking at the ball, he felt that the plant was also looking at him.

"Hello?" he tried to greet the ball, but nothing happened.

Song Xiaocheng swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth gently, and leaned his front teeth against the fluffy cute ball. The ball remained motionless, just swaying slightly with the current, and a bright thought was shoved straight into his head.

"Don't kill it. ”

"What!" Song Xiaocheng was startled and jumped up from the ground. At that moment, he thought that someone was talking to him, "Who is it?" Huan Lingyu? Is it you?"

Song Xiaocheng stood in place, but there was nothing around him, only patches of plants, and there were no strange thoughts in his mind. He glanced down at the ball and swallowed, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

After about half a minute, Song Xiaocheng puffed up again, leaned back in front of the small ball, and carefully captured the previous feeling.

That's right, the ball was watching him, too!

This is no longer a one-sided perception when humans gaze at flowers and plants, and the grass at this time is also perceiving Song Xiaocheng in some way.

Gradually, this feeling became stronger and stronger, more and more clear, and a strong emotion poured unceremoniously into Song Xiaocheng's nose and ears like drowning, and he felt that his throat began to taste a strong sweetness, and the skin on his body seemed to be dozens of times more sensitive than before. He felt a slight flow of air running over his skin, he felt the moisture in the air be very heavy, and he felt something much broader at the same time.

Spacious......

More vast than the sky, brighter than the galaxy, farther than the sky.

It was still just the fluffy ball in front of him, but Song Xiaocheng's spiritual thoughts had already looked at the entire land. Suddenly, everything around him began to tremble violently, and everything and sight was distorted by a shock. Suddenly, everything was calm again......

It's just that he's no longer in that deep forest.

Strange ceiling ...... Unfamiliar room. A silky blanket covered his body.

It was as if he had suddenly been teleported again, and he was in a hut. The surrounding walls and homes look oddly shaped, with irregular curves and curved corners at the corners, like ......

Worm shells.

"You're awake!" said a young girl's voice happily. Song Xiaocheng followed the voice and looked at the door of the room with a very sturdy figure. At first, he thought it was a strong man, but when he looked closely, he realized that the silhouette might hardly be called "human".

"You've been in a coma for hours and mom says you're just asleep. The figure ran cheerfully.

When he approached, Song Xiaocheng saw clearly that the face of the thing was clearly a round-headed cricket! The height was about the same as Song Xiaocheng's, and his body was sturdy and burly, and it was hard for Song Xiaocheng to imagine what kind of body the "mother" of this thing would be. Although they walked upright on the same legs as humans, they looked terrifying: their long, stick-like calves were covered with spikes and serrations, their thighs were more developed than those of the strongest humans, and their feet were full of barbed spines. At the same time, the figure held two bowls in four hands, one with small brown and black particles, and the other with clear water.

"Come on, eat!"

The upper limbs, which also had spikes, put the bowl of small brown and black particles and the bowl of water on the bedside table beside Song Xiaocheng.

Song Xiaocheng instinctively shrank back, but realized that this insect didn't seem to have any malicious intent. Although it was really ugly enough, and there was no expression on that cold and hard face, the childish-sounding voice was very innocent.

"Where am I?" Although there was no creativity, Song Xiaocheng felt that this was the most important sentence he should ask at the moment.

The cricket, however, seemed startled, gasped, and turned around and ran out of the house.

"Mom, Mom, the little man can talk, the little man can talk!"

"Tina, did I tell you not to go into human houses! Humans are dangerous animals, they can bite off your fingers!" an adult woman's voice lashed out.

"But Mom ......"

"Go upstairs and do your homework!"

Song Xiaocheng was slightly surprised for a while, and smoothed out his current situation in his mind......

Have you been picked up as a pet by a little girl who has been cricket?

Looking at the two bowls on the bedside table like a dog basin, Song Xiaocheng gently twisted a small brown and black particle and put it in his mouth.

Glutinous, a little sweet, very moist, with a peculiar fragrance.

It's delicious!

Although I don't know what it is, but just one by one, Song Xiaocheng actually ate most of the bowl of mystery granules and dried a bowl of water.

Lifting the smooth dark green blanket, Song Xiaocheng jumped on the ground and found that he was still naked, and the little brother swayed freely with his movements.

Gently opening the door, there seemed to be a not-so-violent argument outside the house.

"Tina had to bring it back!" the grown woman's voice shouted through the clattering pan.

"Nonsense! I'll send it to the zoo tomorrow...... No, the zoo doesn't want it, humans are the dirtiest, and they will lose their hair if they pee everywhere!Send them to the epidemic prevention station and let them euthanize!" A very dissatisfied man's voice called sternly.

Song Xiaocheng was shocked into a cold sweat. Although he is a little older, he will not "lose his hair" so much that he needs to be euthanized.

"No, Daddy, I'm so pitiful......" the little girl's voice pleaded softly.

Xiaobai?

Song Xiaocheng pinched his chin. It seems that the identity of his pet has been basically confirmed. Just don't let yourself sleep outdoors.

Sure enough, the old saying is true: once you accept this setting, you still feel a little emotional. Although Song Xiaocheng is only in his twenties, in addition to never being a father, he feels that he has experienced everything in life. On the other hand, now, not everyone has the opportunity to experience such a thing as a pet for cricket people.

In the middle of the night, the little girl Tina had gone to sleep at the gentle urging of her mother who was a tall bumblebee-like cricket. Before going to sleep, the little girl didn't forget to run over and use those fingers with hooks and thorns to smooth Song Xiaocheng's hair.

Lying on his "human bed", Song Xiaocheng stared at the ceiling and let out a sigh.

Alas, it turns out that the gap between the worlds and the worlds is so huge.

Gently closing his eyes, Song Xiaocheng recalled everything during the day. He had to experience so many things every day, and he was also a little used to it—Lin Yu sleepwalking, the Great Rune, Hiratsuka and the ghost turned into legitimate merchants, Huan Lingyu's wonderful abilities, and all the supernatural events that Gao He said.

Today, I have to add a few more.

What the hell is going on with that plant? Why does it suddenly want to eat leaves? Why does it suddenly teleport to this bed after looking at that little ball so much?

What about the cricket man? Although he is a little closer to the purpose of his ascetic journey, he ...... Didn't you say that the good centipede and the horse? How did they become crickets? The gap between the horsetail and the centipede was already big enough, and why did there suddenly become another class of insects in addition to the labiopoda and the doublepoda?

Song Xiaocheng pondered for a long time and sighed again. It seems that no matter how much you think about it, you don't have to think about it, so you just don't want to think about it so much. There are still a few pits in the world, maybe they will be filled one by one with the update? With a slight yawn, Song Xiaocheng fell asleep.

It's just that as soon as I close my eyes, I obviously feel that I am sleeping more and more, but my consciousness is becoming more and more awake, and my senses are becoming more and more acute. Even after a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, Song Xiaocheng was keenly aware of the scene in the other room, and noticed that the two crickets were sleeping opposite each other, and neither of them spoke, but the thoughts in the minds of the two crickets were clearly seen by Song Xiaocheng.

Arthur's reaction was a bit too much, and it must have scared Tina, who liked the little man so much. ”

"There's been a sudden epidemic of human flu recently, and God knows if that thing will be transmitted to crickets! Tina is just a child, why is Ellie so ignorant?"

Song Xiaocheng was slightly startled, but suddenly felt that the keen feeling was passing quickly, and quickly captured that feeling again.

"Maybe I'm worrying too much, it's too dangerous to do things in the factory during the day......

There was another surge in his mind, and an even older scene poured into Song Xiaocheng's mind-

In a huge factory, a cricket man who was tightly wrapped in protective clothing was inspecting the assembly line, when suddenly there was a loud noise, and a small piece of crumbling blade on the assembly line machine was inserted into his mask, and the siren sounded in the workshop......

Song Xiaocheng opened his eyes in shock, sat up from the bed, and the distant and chaotic scene in his mind disappeared all of a sudden.

"Song Xiaocheng, have you seen it all?"

"Who ......!"

"You are welcome to be a part of us. An empty and distant voice floated in Song Xiaocheng's head.

"What? Who are you?"

"Song Xiaocheng, welcome to join the Tongzhi Network!"
