"Although you mentioned so much, the fragrance covered your original smell after all, can you let me smell what your insect venom smells like?" After all, I still can't really believe him, this person appeared very strangely, and the person called Silly Lao Qi before was also very strange. They're all completely confusing me to calculate how dangerous this guy is to me.

"So curious? Okay, then let you smell it......" So, he gently scratched his palm with his fingernails.

Blood flowed out, and a strong king insect breath came to my face! The original smell of perfume in the air is swallowed up in an instant! The smell of his insect venom is very strange, it is indeed a king worm, but it is extraordinary...... Overbearing?

I can't think of any other adjective, but I think these two words are the most appropriate.

I completely subconsciously stretched out my hand to touch the drop of blood, but he clenched his fist, the smell of blood disappeared instantly, and he opened his hand again, and the wound had already healed. He smiled at me, "What, even my ability to eat it?" ”

"You know?"

"You can see how you smell so much. But seriously, why can you eat our abilities? ”

"It's evolution, no, this should have been the ability of the king worm."

"Originally? Who said that to you? ”

When the words of the forty-two people Wang Worm came out, the time in my world seemed to freeze with it.

What is he saying?

Is he asking me?

Why do you ask rhetorically?

From what he had just said, it was clear that as the king worm, and the only free king worm I have seen at the moment, he was fully aware of the power of the rest of the king worms, even the smell, but he was denying what I was talking about evolution, so ......

Before my thoughts were fully formed, he said the answer, "Worms can evolve, but evolution is not the exclusive ability of King Worms, and it will not be like you, so crazy to copy, resist, and adapt ......"

So, I asked, "What is the ability of the fourteen-man king worm, and what is the ability of the forty-nine king worm?" ”

"Fourteen is incapable, the class of the king worm does not look at the number of ceremonies, although fourteen is not the least, but it is the lowest. Its ability is only strengthened by the body, and it is alienated into an octopus king worm. As for Chaos, which is what you call forty-nine, that guy is very powerful, almost no one can hurt it, and its ability is to predict danger. ”

Golden Heart?

Indeed, I have been able to live peacefully until now, and continue to evolve, and most of the credit lies in that heart.

So, my adaptive evolution, what exactly does this ability come from?

I always thought it was the power that the worm gave me, but now I'm confused. Maybe I should ask Du Youlan......

"Hey, it seems that you don't know much about yourself either. That Mina, I've made you miserable. Forty-two smiled at me and patted me on the shoulder, "But it doesn't matter, there are some things that just never have an answer, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it." It's like you don't know why you were arranged by fate to come to this world, and in the end, you have to leave. ”

"Are you comforting me?"

"Almost, I said, we're definitely not enemies. I'm getting more and more curious about you now, maybe you'll help me get rid of Mina's entanglement completely, and in that case, we should be friends instead of enemies. ”

"I'm not interested in being friends with you." I want to get out of here, I need a little time, to think about something.

His words had too much impact on me.

However, he didn't seem to want me to leave now, "Hey, we haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Do you disdain to be friends with me, the king worm? Probably think I'm a bug-spreading villain? Put away your thoughts and tell you a secret, do you know why Mina keeps chasing me? Do you know why she had to be killed by using the king worms you killed? ”

"Why?" I asked.

In fact, his question is also what I am curious about.

"It's been so long, you've eaten so many of their abilities, haven't you noticed something they have in common?"

Actually, I really haven't thought about this, what is the common denominator? Are they all king bugs? But isn't that nonsense?

"They either can't continue to be infected with the insect virus on a large scale, or they refuse to be infected with the insect virus on a large scale. To put it bluntly, those who were killed no longer have the value of continuing to spread insect poison. Last time I smelled that guy next to her, Twenty-Eight King Worm, although you also ate his ability, he doesn't seem to be dead yet. He has always been obedient and obediently spreads his own worm poison. ”

Recall carefully, although there were also infected people infected by the related king worm when they encountered the king worm before, it seems that they are also tightly confined to the area where the king worm is trapped. And I don't communicate much with the king worms, they are really desperate to get out of trouble, but they have not revealed to me whether they plan to continue to spread the insect venom.

"Your words are still to be verified. However, according to your meaning, you actively refused? Why? ”

Meeting him made me understand the king worm more deeply, and I temporarily put aside the previous tangled questions, compared to the distant answer, at this moment, I need to take in the "nutrients" in front of me more.

"It's too fake to say that you want to be a good person, and you won't believe it. But speaking of this reason, I want to ask you a question, in fact, this question I asked you just now, why are you alive? ”

"What's your problem?"

"You can't tell you for a while, can you? Me too, but I just have a sense of mission that makes me feel like my life is meaningful, and I have something I have to do, and that's what spreading insect poison is. However, I always felt that I was not at the heart of that meaning, like ...... I've just been a worker ant, you know? But worse than the worker ants, I am the little self destined to sacrifice for the sake of achieving great meaning. So, I refused, resisted spreading the virus. Maybe other king insects are also aware of this, after all, we have lived too long, so it is not to transfer the aging body, and we who see through these usually do not take the initiative to spread our own insect poison. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Digest it slowly, and sooner or later you'll understand. And seriously, I don't understand either, but we're worms, and we are born with an intuition that blends into nature, and I trust intuition. ”

Our chat, falling into a brief silence.

I always had two concepts in my head, the "big meaning" and the "small self" mentioned by Forty-two, and for some reason, this thing actually reminded me of the part of my desire that I was missing, that memory.

If I had a problem from the beginning, then am I also trapped in the so-called "big meaning"? I also destroyed that memory in order to get rid of the "big meaning" and fulfill the "little self"?

What am I going to do......

"You look a little miserable? Brother, you can't pretend to be too much in your heart, it's easy to go crazy. Forty-two looked around the basement and suddenly asked me as if he had changed the subject, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, this master, are you familiar?" ”

"Silly old seven?"

"yes, it seems to be the name, you really know it?"

I shook my head, "I just saw this guy today, and I thought it was strange, so I checked it out curiously, and he also misunderstood us and tied up my friend." But speaking of which, you shouldn't know each other, right? ”

Forty-two smiled, "Ha, that's interesting." We don't know each other at all. ”

His answer is indeed interesting.

"Don't recognize?" I wondered, "But by all indications, he was waiting for you, and it seemed that you were in danger to him, and he had found a large group of substitutes." ”

Forty-two shook his head, "No, it's just a possibility, and it's also possible that he's casting a wide net, ready to wait for me to take the bait." ”

"Don't you know him?" So, back to the question.

"I don't know, so I guess it's strange......"

So, Forty-Two told me the story from his point of view.

He had been to this desert city before, and many years ago, he had been given a chance here to dump Mina. He took half of that opportunity. Of course, this has nothing to do with the matter of the stupid old seven for the time being, so I will ignore it. He only said that he had returned to this place for the other half of the opportunity, but he found that there were strange people on the way to the desert, who had mixed into the market stalls, and when they saw someone who looked like him, they would mention the place where the desert bloomed.

So, Forty-Two knew that someone was laying a trap waiting for him to appear. He hid in the shadows, checked for a while, and finally found the core of these people. He also discovered the smell of snake people on Silly Lao Qi's body, but his ability was really not to be feared. Because he was about to enter the desert, he wanted to ask the stupid old seven what he was playing before leaving.

“…… So saving your friends, and meeting you, is really a windfall. It's just that I didn't expect Mina to come here soon, which is a terrible choice. I should have come earlier, or later. Forty-two smiled helplessly.

But what I care about is what is deliberately hidden in his story, "Why did you go to the desert, what are the opportunities you are talking about?" ”

"I'll just wait for you to ask!"

"Don't sell it."

"People are afraid of the unknown, so there have been many strange legends in sparsely populated places since ancient times. But then again, why are these places so sparsely populated? Legends are not all false. In this desert, there are also stories, haven't you heard of the secret realm of the sand sea here? ”

I shook my head, "I've never heard of it." ”

"It's really lonely, how did you get to this point? Well, then let me tell you, the secret realm of the sand sea, the origin may have something to do with our worms, I have been there before, and it smells of worms, but unlike any of our seven king worms, I got this perfume there. Legend has it that people who enter the secret realm will have seven chances to choose, but the premise is to pass the test, pass the test, and be able to take away something in the secret realm, and then you choose to continue to the next secret realm, or leave here with those things.

What about those things, there is money, there is power, there is power...... There's more, in short, you have everything you want. However, there is also a price to be paid for taking things away, and the price is a curse. I've been there, I've been through many layers of seclusion, and I've taken with me the perfume that covers my scent.

But alas, that was still not the last layer, and so, I was cursed, and my curse was that I would never be able to live the way I wanted. The smell of perfume could only be overshadowed for a while, and Mina seemed to have mastered the way to crack it, so I returned to this place again, walking the rest of the way, hoping to find a way to get rid of the perverted woman once and for all. ”
