Chapter 182: Man Eaten by Ants
We walked through the jungle and listened to Ink talk about the evil spirits that he was going to deal with in this operation.
According to the ink paintings, they themselves are just the usual ants, about the size of soybeans. At first glance, nothing special, but they have an extremely high IQ, an extremely fast gait, and are very sensitive to human blood.
They cannibalize people for a simple reason – to get rid of their tiny ant appearance and get a new lease of life.
If you accidentally cut your fingers and don't deal with them in time to stop the bleeding, and then they happen to be around you again, when they smell blood, they will follow first, and when there is no one around, they will crawl on top of you, just a light bite, you will instantly lose consciousness and faint.
So they attack people, usually in the middle of the night.
In order to wait for the right time, they will be all over the space we are in, and this "time" is blood.
"One bite can shake off the insignificance and get a new life?" I don't understand, "The ant is so big, let alone eat people, a fly is enough to kill it." ”
Shui Mo said, "After you have experienced so much, why do you still have the same idea with Zhuo Jing?" ”
After teasing me, the ink explained that every time they bite a person, their bodies will become larger, and after the whole person eats them, they will become the appearance of that person.
Those who know about their evil spirits call them Ant-Man.
The whole process of being devoured is about a few minutes, and it can be said that there is no pain, the original words of Ink are, "A living person, inexplicably disappeared and was reborn." ”
"Being reborn", the word "been" is really weird. The ants ate me and then became "me" without me knowing it. That is to say, a person is forced to "break out of the cocoon into a cocoon" without being conscious, defensive, and resistant, while an ant is "breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly".
I shuddered when I heard it, and felt more and more that this world was more crazy and psychedelic than I imagined, and I didn't know how many of those missing people were swallowed alive like this.
I asked, "When they become humans, do they all go back to the animal world?" ”
Ink nodded.
"No exceptions? None of them want to stay in the human world? ”
"The humanoid form is only enough to support Ant-Man for a few days, and they have to get back as soon as possible within that time. Only the magnetic field here can keep them alive forever, otherwise when the deadline expires, they will become a carrion. "If nothing else, even you like it here, how can they be willing to leave?" ”
"Then what do you mean when you say that a human life can be full for a lifetime? After returning from eating, you can fill your stomach by basking in the sun and drinking the northwest wind? ”
Heart Dao, how can there be such a thing that can satisfy your life just by taking the aura of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
As a result, Shui Mo really responded, "That's why in their spiritual space, even if there are many kinds of animals, they can always be peaceful, and the casualties have never broken zero." Animal survival is nothing more than hunting for life that is weaker than themselves, but they don't need it. ”
"So many animals live together, and there has never been a record of death or injury?" It's hard for me to believe.
The ink sang in a formless way, "Because we are a family, a family that loves each other, we should share blessings together, and we must share difficulties when there are difficulties, and we will exchange each other for a long time......"
I asked, "Is it random what kind of animal Ant-Man will turn into when he returns here?" ”
Ink shook his head, saying that when they returned here, they would become one of the favorite animals in that person's life.
In this way, I think in a sense, Ant-Man's rebirth is still random. If it is for the person who died, their favorite animal in their hearts is specifically referred to, but for them who only hunt and kill people with blood, what will become after returning to the spiritual space is like opening a blind box.
Shui Mo said, "Actually, there is no danger factor in this operation, no matter what their reborn body is, it is the same as the aggression of ordinary animals, and this time it is the mentality that is practiced." ”
"How?" I don't understand.
"Imagine a cute and docile kitten coming up to you, and then rubbing back and forth on your legs, you can't touch it or hold it, you have to think about it, should you strangle it or should you just screw its head off, doesn't this seem to be a little different from the previous principle of long-distance hunting?"
I nodded, "It's really hard to start." If I had killed so many animals that were not aggressive and had no ability to resist, I would have lost sleep tonight. ”
"Insomnia just like that?" Shui Mo said, "The double body makes you suffer so much, so what about the next double body?" ”
"A heavy body?" I paused and asked, "Ant-Man is going to kill twice?" ”
"Clever!" "Ants, humans, and animals, these three identities coincide in their bodies. Ants and humans are their doublets, and animals are their doublets. When the duo dies, they will appear in human form, the form of the person they devoured, gouge out their hearts, and that's it. ”
I looked at the ink in disbelief, "Murder and dig out the heart? "The pores all over my body are resisting.
"Digging out the heart is right, killing? They're not human anymore. And a heavy body is aggressive, if you don't kill it, it will come and kill you. ”
Far hunting so many times, I never thought of doing something to dig people's hearts. Porcupines were the only humanoid spirits I had encountered, and I pulled out their hearts that time, but also when they were in phase. If they had been standing in front of me in human form, I would never have had the courage to do anything like that.
Zhuo Jing popped up in the back, "Bai Yi, what you see is just an aggressive corpse, why don't you get rid of it and keep it?" ”
"Bear kid is to the point." Shui Mo said, "Those people have long been eaten by ants. ”
Man was eaten by ants. For a long time, this phrase has been floating in my ears, and I can't help but feel ridiculous.
Human beings do not have the fastest speed, the most developed muscles, the most powerful strength, we have become the most dominant species in the world by virtue of our own wisdom, and even brazenly claim that we have no natural enemies.
We delude ourselves into thinking that we are at the top of the food chain, and we never think that one day we will become the food of those ants who are too small to be ignored and forgotten.
What is even more ironic is that they disdain to be the so-called supreme human beings, and they trample on our wreckage just to get rid of our insignificance and get a second life.
We are devoured and despised, what is wrong with the world?
But if you think about it, are humans really that innocent?
First invade, then kill, then eat, and finally ignore these acts...... Ant-Man's set of rebirth steps seems to be what humans have done and are doing.
Although they only kill once in their lives, they will pay a price for using such cruel acts to realize their dream of thriving blood. They hurt the lives of others for selfish desires, and did they also think that one day, they would die with a body with a lower pain threshold?
The death of a person is not the end of one story, but the beginning of another. Our trip this time is to turn back those lives that have been turned over.
The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, after all, cannot be escaped by every living being.
I don't know why, but before the hunt even started, I already felt very heavy. I can't see Ant-Man as the evil spirits that we have exterminated before, although they are all evil spirits, but they are the same and different.
I don't know how to describe this complicated feeling.
Shui Mo said that I was just because I hadn't hunted far for too long, and I had a problem, so he hooked my neck, "Why do you want to do so much, just suppress it!" ”
An elephant chirped, and we stopped.
Zhuo Jing said, "This favorite animal in life is an elephant? ”
Elephants are also one of my favorite animals.
Ink patted me, "Xiaobai, you remember, for a while, whether you see a double-body animal or a double-body walking corpse, those are their hypocritical tricks, the first move is to confuse you, and the second move is to ......" Ink made a gesture of touching his neck.
We leaned forward softly, and when we reached the edge of the woods, we saw a peaceful scene.
Blue sky and white clouds, turquoise meadows, clear lake water. Two elephants stand in the lake and play in the water, a few sika deer whisper in their ears, and there are rabbits grazing, lions nestling up to each other, roaming giraffes, and rolling giant pandas......
It's really the animal world.
I whispered, "We can't catch them in such a big area...... You see, there are also those that fly in the sky. ”
"After Ant-Man has a double body, he no longer has the ability to reproduce, which is the main reason why they have a strong family concept." Shui Mo said, "Do you remember how I sang it just now?" '......If one of them is caught by us, the other family members will not run away on their own. ”
I watched them, and all the animals did not interfere with each other, and there was no hostility. A sheep walks leisurely past the wolves, a few golden retrievers chase and play in front of the cheetah, and a pigeon pecks at the rocks beneath Wong Tai Sin...... This sense of integration, the more you look at it, the more strange it becomes.
When I saw a white long-haired cat curled up in a circle, nesting on the side and squinting in the sun, I couldn't help but shake my heart.
"Xiaobai, just give it to you, give it to me softly." Shui Mo turned his head and said to Xiao Chou again, "The aura and spiritual power of the duo body have no impurities, it is pure and generous, it can be called the saffron in the evil spirit world, don't be polite for a while, open and suck!" ”
Before I could reply, he and Zhuo Jing rushed out in phase form. The animals enjoying the afternoon were startled, and they scattered, some retreated, some paced in place. As Ink says, none of them escaped with a smoke.
In this way, the evil spirits that do evil and cause trouble are more like us.
Bai San said, "You came all the way here to visit this place as a zoo?" Are you going to pestle only here all the time? ”
"Of course not!" I shook my shoulders, "I'm not warming up!" ”
"Superfluous." Bai San said, "Don't forget why you decided to continue hunting in the first place. ”
I took a deep breath and walked out of the woods.
