Chapter 797: Nightmare Dream (1)
The Beginningless Silkworm Clan, one of the primeval tribes.
Unlike the Arabian Nights, the Silkworms do not have a fixed place to live, they are a race that is kept in captivity. If captivity is not quite accurate, they can be seen as parasites in themselves.
Some races live in the mountains and forests, some races live in the mountains, some races live in the mountains, and of course there will be races living in the vassals of other races, and the Beginningless Silkworm Race is one of the representatives.
"The first time the Beginningless Silkworm Race was discovered by the Imperial People, it was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and in the past, human beings never even thought that there would be such an alien existence in this world, and they would not have thought that such an existence was actually an alien race." Guan Jue said.
"Actually, this race itself does not have the ability to survive, but they have intelligence, and it is a very high level of intelligence. It's just that most of them are dormant and rarely wake up, and what supports their actions is another simple consciousness. ”
In other words, the Beginningless Silkworm Clan actually has two divine souls, one is almost negligible, and the other has an extremely high level of intelligence. When they are asleep, they are almost like ordinary silkworms, both in appearance and behavior. ”
"In other words, this Beginningless Silkworm Clan is actually asleep now?" An Xiaoyu asked.
Guan Jue nodded: "The Beginningless Silkworm Clan is generally attached to another race, and it will show its other soul, and when it exists independently, most of the time it is in a deep sleep, unless there is a living creature to possess it, it will not wake up." ”
Looking at this meat insect floating in mid-air, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but shudder, thinking of the feeling of being parasitic in the body by this bug, it was a little creepy.
In fact, there is nothing complicated about the parasitism of the Beginningless Silkworm Race, they just parasitize in the digestive tract of other races, and obtain the nutrients decomposed by other races after eating, because they themselves do not know how to digest and have no teeth.
But despite being a parasitic race, the Beginningless Silkworm Race was still very popular among the primeval races, because of the extremely high intelligence possessed by his other soul. When the Beginningless Silkworms wake up, they will communicate with their hosts and use their wisdom to solve many problems for them.
Some simple-minded races especially like to be parasitized by the Beginningless Silkworm Race, while other races whose wisdom is no less than the Beginningless Silkworm Race, especially the big race, like to keep some Beginningless Silkworm Race in captivity to serve as a think tank for the juniors in the race, or to do special purposes at special times.
Obviously, the beginningless silkworm clan discovered this time was used for special purposes.
The beginningless silkworm clan is also a very peculiar existence among the primeval silkworm races, and it is the first time that mankind has discovered that the beginningless silkworm clan is actually one of the primeval ten thousand races, and there is a human race hybrid who accepted the parasitism of the beginningless silkworm clan, and then their existence is known.
Before, human beings had always thought that the Beginningless Silkworm Race was some special creatures captive by some races of the primeval race, after all, when the Beginningless Silkworm Race was parasitized, there was no way to see them at all, and all humans could see was those that were captive by the big race.
However, the Beginningless Silkworm Race will not show particularity if it does not go through parasitism, and only the host can feel their consciousness after parasitism, which leads to their extremely low sense of existence.
Now, the appearance of the Beginningless Silkworm Clan here makes Guan Jue and An Xiaoyu very strange.
"According to what you say, there is no way for the Beginningless Silkworm Clan to do anything alone, and it is impossible for them to even come to the imperial capital. So there is a race that came to the imperial capital with the Beginningless Silkworm Clan and hid them in this place? Ann whispered.
Guan Jue nodded: "Although I don't know what they want to do with the Beginningless Silkworm Clan, in short, this matter is very strange, the Xishan Ghost Clan and the Arabian Night Clan, and now there is another Beginningless Silkworm Clan......"
Although he didn't say it, An Xiaoyu understood, the Arabian Night Clan was probably brought by the Xishan Ghost, and the Beginningless Silkworm Clan itself was incapacitated, so it must have been brought over by other races, and it was also a big race that could captivate the Beginningless Silkworm Clan.
Doesn't that mean that now there are four primeval races lurking in the entire imperial capital, two of which are still big races, and the Arabian Night Clan is extremely harmful to human society, so what about the Beginningless Silkworm Clan?
An Xiaoyu couldn't help asking, "Will the Beginningless Silkworm Clan take the initiative to eat?" ”
"The recipes of the Beginningless Silkworm Clan are very mixed, in fact, they eat everything, but they don't take the initiative to eat, but need others to digest it before they absorb it. They do not have mouths of their own, they rely on skin organs for absorption, and they can only absorb simple nutrients. ”
"And what did they rely on to survive when their bodies were asleep?"
"It's by their fat." Guan Jue pointed to the bloated body of the Beginningless Silkworm Clan and said: "The Beginningless Silkworm Clan is actually a very greedy race, they have extremely high intelligence, and they know that it is difficult for them to survive without other races, so on the premise of not destroying the host's life, they will take the initiative to accumulate a large amount of nutrients in their bodies, which is what they are now." ”
"Hibernation ......" An Xiaoyu could only think of this word.
Guan Jue nodded: "If according to the general situation, these nutrients on the Beginningless Silkworm Clan are enough for them to sleep outside for about ten years, because their body structure is very small, you see such a big bug, in fact, it was not like this." ”
"What was it like?" Ann whispered curiously.
Guan Jue took out a photo from the terminal and handed it to An Xiaoyu.
An Xiaoyu was speechless after taking a look: "How insatiable is this race?" ”
The bug in the photo looks no different from an ordinary bug, even the size of a grain of rice, which is completely different from the bloated, almost palm-sized fat meat worm they see now, and even a little cute.
But they have become like this by accumulating constantly, simply!
But it's normal to think about it, if you want to parasitize in the human digestive system, such a big one is definitely not okay, and it is acceptable for a worm the size of a grain of rice to enter the stomach and intestines. But if this worm becomes like this in the digestive tract, how do they get it?
Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu has a bit of a vice, and the Taigu Wan clan is really so heavy that he has no friends.
"Anyway, now the entire imperial capital has been infiltrated by alien races too much, whether it is the Arabian Night Clan or the Beginningless Silkworm Clan, they are all vassals of other races. Although I don't know what the Beginningless Silkworm Clan is doing here, there is definitely a conspiracy behind it. ”
Guan Jue nodded and said: "The Xishan Ghost Clan is already staring at it now, anyway, there is not much of it, the race after the Beginningless Silkworm Clan, you can also look for it, but there are no clues now." ”
"Perhaps, I have some clues?" The Nightmare, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke.
"You mean this? Is this really something left over from your mother's family? An Xiaoyu held the cloud of smoke in her hand.
The schanter shook his head: "I don't know if it's left by my mother clan, but I'm sure that the aura on it is familiar to me, and the biggest effect of this kind of thing is to cover up the divine soul, you know, my main clan should be the one with a strong divine soul." ”
"It's a pity you don't know what your lord is." Secretly shrugged, put the Beginningless Silkworm Clan and the cloud into the special container sent by the technical team, and said to the Phantom, "You should not get involved in this matter yet. ”
The charm was a little tangled, and she also knew that An Xiaoyu was right.
Regardless of whether the Beginningless Silkworm Clan is behind her main clan or not, it is obvious that at this time, such a race that sneaked to the imperial capital and left behind the means, Bacheng was not at ease. And even if you know the race behind it, you don't necessarily know if it's the main family of the succubus, and even if they are the main family of the succubus, they won't necessarily maintain a friendly attitude towards the succubus.
After all, mixed races have a very low status in many races, especially among the big ones, and are regarded as dirty existences, and they are not considered clansmen within their clan at all.
If you involve the nightmare, I don't know if the other party will notice anything, and I don't know what problems will arise later. So after struggling for a while, the Nightmare had no choice but to nod, but said, "Do you want to take my blood back?" Let's see what kind of race it is, maybe there will be clues? ”
"That's a great idea!" The researcher of the technical team said suddenly.
They returned to the Ministry of Supervision with the blood sample of the phantom, and the technical team on the other side also began to study the situation of the Beginningless Silkworm Clan in other places, An Xiaoyu left here, but did not go back to continue to monitor the ghosts of the West Mountain.
Those Xishan ghosts have An Xiaoyu's divine soul imprint on their bodies, even if An Xiaoyu runs outside the imperial capital, he can find them. What's more, the innate ability of the Xishan ghost itself is originally more focused on strength and heaviness, and he is not good at such abilities as the divine soul, and he is not even keen enough to perceive it, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered by them.
Back at home, An Xiaoyu sat cross-legged on the bed and began a night of practice.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, it was another gloomy day, and as soon as the morning came, the wind and rain began to calm down again, and the rain fell on the windows and on the ground, making a "rustling" sound. An Xiaoyu got up from the bed, started cooking according to the routine, and then waited for the family to get up, ate together, and went to school with Xiao An.
But when she was in school, An Xiaoyu heard a strange thing.
When I arrived at the classroom, there was a bunch of people in the classroom who were gathering together and whispering. This kind of phenomenon is still very common in the classroom, after all, An Xiaoyu herself often secretly said something to Leng Yan and Xu He for them, so she didn't care about other people's affairs.
But after sitting down, Leng Yan came over, looked at the people gathered over there, and whispered, "Eh! Any idea what's going on over there? ”
An Xiaoyu glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”
"I heard that the emperor's family is offering a reward for a master of science and technology, or a master of cultivation, in order to have the password of a safe."
"What is the password for the safe?" Imperial Bank's? Ann Xiaoyu smiled.
"No, look at this, look at this." Leng Yan handed over the terminal, and An Xiaoyu saw the video displayed above, which happened to be a safe in a room. The safe is recessed into the wall, and the metal door is clearly visible.
An Xiaoyu didn't have any research on things like safes, but it can still be seen that there is at least one electronic protection device on this safe, and there are two physical locks that can only be opened by cooperating with passwords and keys.
Looking at the appearance of the surveillance video, the environment of the whole video should be at night, or there are no windows in the room, and the lights are not turned on, so the whole video is in a night vision state. At this moment, an old man in pajamas came and pushed the door in, and did not close the door of the room, and the light from the outside could be clearly seen on the ground.
The old man was wearing pajamas, his body looked very shriveled, and the white hair on his head had thinned out. He walked over to the safe, used his fingerprint and iris to open the electronic lock of the safe, then took out the key and opened the remaining two physical locks.
The door of the safe was opened, and the contents inside were coded, and it was impossible to see what it was, but An Xiaoyu was not curious. What she was more interested in was that the old man did not take anything out of the safe after opening it, but made a few gestures to a small roulette wheel inside the door.
Immediately afterwards, the old man closed the safe, locked the three locks, and then left the room and closed the door. The video in the room suddenly returned to night vision. Immediately afterward, the video interrupted, and the time jumped to the next morning, and the old man came to the room again.
The second time he opened the electronic lock with his fingerprint and iris, the old man took out the key and inserted it into the lock hole, turned the roulette wheel of the combination lock, and then twisted the key, but did not open the physical lock. The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and tried again, but the result was still unsuccessful.
At this end of the video, An Xiaoyu handed the terminal back and asked, "Alzheimer's?" Forgot your password? ”
Leng Yan smiled: "If it's really Alzheimer's, how can the old man's password only be remembered by himself?" You must know that Alzheimer's disease is not a sudden process, and it is said that there are two people in the family who know the password, and the other is the grandson of the old man, who is also a student of the Three Thousand Academy, and the password he remembers is exactly the same as the old man's memory, so the old man is not wrong at all. ”
"So, the password for the safe has changed?"
"That's right! Because the safe could not be opened, the family suspected that the safe was tampered with, and then retrieved the surveillance video, only to find that there were only people in such a video that night. But the problem is that the old man doesn't remember what he did when he came to the safe in the middle of the night. ”
"Sleepwalking?" An Xiaoyu judged it at once.
Leng Yan nodded: "Actually, it's not too accurate to say that it is sleepwalking, the old man usually has no symptoms of sleepwalking, and he also went to the hospital for examination after seeing the video, and found that there were no corresponding signs." But do you think that occasional sleepwalking can do this? ”
"Sleepwalking itself does not occur when people are dreaming, and people who sleepwalk do not actually have a specific code of conduct, let alone an accurate logic of behavior. They only react simply to external stimuli, responding through the subconscious mind in sleepwalking. It seems to be doing something meaningful, but it is just the release of some obstacles or suppressed emotions in the sleepwalker's psyche. Therefore, even if a person with sleepwalking is sleepwalking, he or she will not be able to open the safe from beginning to end, then change the password, and then close it back. "Dong Xiaoguan said at this time.
"Do you have some research?" An Xiaoyu asked.
Dong Xiaoguan scratched his head: "When I was a child, there was actually a period of sleepwalking, and the situation was very serious. Moreover, sleepwalking itself mostly develops in childhood and adolescence, because during this time, people's mental state is relatively more fragile and more prone to adverse reactions. ”
"You're still sleepwalking? I can't really see it. Could it be that you were the sleepwalking murderer who spread throughout the empire back then? Leng Yan suddenly asked with a smile.
Dong Xiaoguan panicked: "Don't talk nonsense, the sleepwalking murderer was controlled at the time, and he didn't understand what was going on at that time." When I was a child, it was just because of low self-esteem, and as you can see, I am actually not very capable, and it can be said that it took too much effort to be admitted to the mecha department of the Three Thousand Academy. ”
"Psychological pressure arises just because of serious study?" Leng Yan felt a little unreliable: "Then you have to be so self-motivated!" So desperate. ”
Dong Xiaoguan said with a wry smile: "I think it's not bad to go to school casually, but the problem is that I am not you, I am not from the Eastern Wilderness, there is no tribe that wants me to come to the imperial capital to save, and I am not the young master of the family, there are many other ways to go." I think it's good to be ordinary, but my parents don't think so! You just don't have a backache when you stand and talk, do you know how strict ordinary parents are for high school students and the national entrance examination? ”
Leng Yan was speechless.
"That means that even if this old man is sleepwalking, he can't do such a thing?" An Xiaoyu asked suddenly.
Dong Xiaoguan nodded and said: "That's for sure, people with sleepwalking disorder basically even have simple language, and their behavior is even more very simple, such as turning around the room, dancing with their hands, repeating a certain action over and over again, such a thoughtful and logical behavior?" Basically impossible, unless it's schizophrenic. ”
"But the old man doesn't have schizophrenia either......" An Xiaoyu thought for a while and then asked, "What about the sleepwalking murderer?" ”
Leng Yan had also found the news and handed it to An Xiaoyu.
After reading it, An Xiaoyu suddenly asked, "Do you want to go and see that safe?" ”
Dong Xiaoguan's face suddenly became embarrassed, but Leng Yan suddenly became excited:
"Meet at the school gate after school!"
