Chapter 130: The Nature of the Gray Mist
"Your name?"
"Lieta."
Lieta looked up at the creature with only orange hair and four short legs, and what looked like a pool of liquid.
In her mind, the 'flesh' was to their people what clothes were in the eyes of humans.
Lieta couldn't understand why his brother was wearing such a strange 'dress'.
"Lieta... Your nod can stop. ”
The orange cat's head was still nodding when she asked Lieta, who had been born less than a year ago, and had been taught one of the most important things in her limited time, and that was to listen to her eldest sister and brother.
Lieta has always followed this instruction very carefully, and even now.
At the orange cat's motion, she stopped nodding her head, and Lieta's eyes looked at the sewing gang in the corner again.
"Can that human eat it?" Lieta suddenly pointed to one of the Sewing Gang's helpers.
"Eat... Are you hungry? ”
The orange cat fell down from the tree with its hair, and although Lieta had the appearance of a human girl, she was essentially the embodiment of the gray mist, and it was very reasonable that she would treat humans as food.
Lieta shook her head, she had just eaten a lizardman this morning, and it didn't taste very good, but at least it filled her stomach.
Through Lieta's gaze, Joshua could see that what she wanted was the little bully in the hands of the sewing gang member.
"You come with me first."
The orange cat jumped off the round table in front of Lieta, and Lieta also stood up and followed the orange cat all the way.
This is the rest room for the leaders of the Sewing Gang, and it is also the equivalent of Qiao Xiu's laboratory, where Qiao Xiu built an arcade machine for testing.
Orange Cat took Lieta to the front of the arcade machine and jumped directly into the arcade console.
Lieta, who had looked like she was eager to play a game, hesitated when she saw the arcade machine, and she glanced at her left hand.
Lieta's left hand, which she had used to hold the joystick, had already shown a dull golden mark, which was a scar for her...
The moment she held the joystick, not only was her body damaged, but even the gray mist that made up this body in her body was also lost a lot.
"There's nothing in this arcade that will hurt you, don't worry."
The orange cat pressed the turn button with his paws, and the arcade machine was instantly launched, and the launch screen was not any game, but a large selection list of games.
This arcade machine is a collection of all the pixelated games that Qiao Xiu is currently making, whether it is a game on the Little Overlord or an arcade machine.
Lieta can feel the joystick of this arcade machine... Without the force that would sting her, she sat down in front of the arcade machine again, and glanced at the orange cat with her eyes carefully before touching the joystick.
"Can you read human words?" The orange cat asked as she licked her little paws.
"No, it won't." Lieta shook her head and told Joshua this... Sad news.
This gray mist avatar turned out to be illiterate.
"I'll take the pick."
The orange cat sat down on the counter, one paw pressed on the joystick and the other on the four buttons of the arcade machine.
Qiao Xiu directly chose the King of Fighters 97, which she first came into contact with.
The scene on the arcade machine instantly changed to the picture of The King of Fighters 97, and Lieta's eyes widened at this moment.
Since she was born, she has lived in a world of only two colors, one is the gray of her body's origin, and the other is the blood-red of living beings.
But the arcade machine in front of you shows Lieta a colorful world.
"What do you think?"
Qiao Xiu watched Lieta's every move through the perspective of the orange cat, and her actions were really too different from the gray mist origin in Qiao Xiu's cognition.
Angry or hateful, these two are archetypal sociopathic and anti-human personalities, and this one Lieta looks more like a newborn baby who doesn't understand anything.
"You're going to pick her up and raise her?" Ciri heard Qiao Xiu's question, and in an instant, he peeked into what Qiao Xiu was going to do next.
"I'm not interested, I'm just thinking I might be able to take advantage of her."
Qiao Xiu immediately waved his hand, indicating that he had no idea of abducting this juvenile gray mist.
"Utilization? Joe Xiu... I don't think she'll listen to us, the hierarchy between the Grey Mists is very clear, and the orders of the Courier level to the other Grey Mist infected, there should be such a class among the Couriers. ”
As a first-hand witness of the Inquisition, Thousand Faces knew that the creatures of the Grey Mist were not disorderly, but rather had a strict hierarchy.
"But it should be fine to get some information from her first."
Qiao Xiu looked at Lieta from the perspective of an orange cat, and Lieta's hands, which were originally pressed vigorously, suddenly stopped slowly.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Xiu didn't give the order to stop.
"My brother is asking where I am."
Lieta also moved her gaze to the orange cat who was crouching next to her hand.
"Brother? Is there any other gray fog as well..."
This is the last thing Qiao Xiu wants to see, this city is definitely not only Lieta, a young gray fog management who can't even read words, there must be other gray fog existing.
"Are you going to make her unconscious?" Thousand Faces can't wait to get their hands dirty.
"Wait... Let me try it first. ”
The orange cat taps the arcade machine under him with his paws.
"Listen to Lieta, only I can let you play with these interesting things, if you tell the other brothers or eldest sisters about this place, they will destroy them immediately and take you away!"
Lietta's name for the orange cat is also brother, which means that Qiao Xiu's identity may be the same level as the other gray fog in Lieta's mind.
In this case, it was up to Lieta to obey her own heart's will.
"All you have to do is answer the brother who called you and say, 'I'm patrolling the city and I'll be back.'" Qiao Xiu immediately figured out the wording of Lieta's answer.
Lieta glanced at the orange cat, then at the colorful arcade screen in front of her, and at the voice in her head that kept asking where she was.
I'm patrolling the city and I'll be back later. ’
In her own consciousness, Lieta responded to the voice that kept asking her.
'Patrol? Why are you patrolling? ’
Hearing this, Lieta fell silent, and finally she threw the question to the orange cat at hand.
"My brother asked me why I was patrolling." Lieta said.
"Because... 'Cause I'm hungry! On the hunt for food! And Lieta, who retells into words the words you communicate in your consciousness. ”
Qiao Xiu didn't know what the communication method between the gray mist was, but the origin of the gray mist was born in the negative consciousness of intelligent beings, and they also communicated with each other in human language, and there must be similarities with humans in life.
For example... Foraging for stuff like that.
"Because I'm hungry and looking for food."
Lieta understood the reason for Qiao Xiu's prevarication, and repeated it directly in his own consciousness, repeating it verbally as Qiao Xiu requested.
"Don't eat too much, the food has gone a little bad lately, come back early."
Lieta recounted the message from the other party again, and from the content of the message, it seemed like the words of a brother who cared about his sister, but the food here refers to humans.
