"According to normal logic, you can't blow up a spaceship. But you did. You once refused to use Su Hao's blood to modify your body. But when the spaceship explodes, you can't control your body and movements, and you can only let the blood of other "worker bees" mix with your body fragments. Not everything works the way you want it to, and there will always be a variety of different errors. This is what makes up the world. No one has ever thought of making a planet, but now you have become the planet itself. ”

Such an explanation is enough for Night Shadow to understand. However, the word "accidental" made her feel an indescribable confusion.

Yes, if I hadn't left Earth at that time, the next series of problems would not have happened.

After thinking for a long time, Nightshade asked lightly, "Sue me, what is your purpose?" ”

The question is straightforward, but the black particles clearly haven't thought about it. They were silent for a long time before slowly replying, "I don't know." ”

Nightshade was surprised: "Don't know? ”

"Everything we do, it's just to live better. If it weren't for your half-bio-cyborg qualities, our cooperation would have been a basis for continuation. Unlike you humans, we don't have so many great ideals. We just want to live. ”

"Alive?"

Nightshade frowned, "Is it interesting to live like this?" ”

"You mean the ideal and the future direction of evolution?"

"Is there anything more interesting than that?"

"The evolutionary direction does have a lot of attraction for us. We also want to have more wisdom and thinking skills. Yes, thinking, this has always been our shortcoming, an insurmountable obstacle. In this regard, we can only get more or less the same abilities as human beings by going through guò and guò guò through your bodily organs. Of course, in your opinion, this should be an evolution. I know you have more important requirements than that. You've been missing Wang Qinian. Is this what love is called? ”

Nightshade laughed at the black particle's strange answer, "I forgot about it, you don't have a gender. ”

The black particle replied seriously: "That's why life is so precious to us." ”

"You created a new brain when I didn't know it, and that's what it is?"

"Is there anything more important than that?"

The black particle asked rhetorically, "This is our own thinking organ." Evolution is a very long and time-consuming thing. We ourselves do not know exactly how long it will take to produce the same structures and abilities as yours. You can look at us with a microscope, but we don't like to be just being looked at. We also have privacy and want the same rights as other advanced beings. If we can, we can also produce our own civilization and create our own world. ”

Nightshade finds this dialogue comical. A group of microorganisms, which cannot be seen by the naked eye, are clamoring for the same rights as higher life. However, Nightshadow also had to admit that if it weren't for the black particles, he would never be alive now.

After a moment of silence, Nightshade continued to ask, "You created this new brain to replace me?" ”

The black particles did not hide the slightest on this issue: "That's right. ”

"Can't we coexist?"

It's really hard to talk about this question. But she also felt helpless about it. The power of consciousness control from that new brain was too powerful, far beyond the limits of what it could bear. It is no exaggeration to say that, like a child of five or six years old, it is impossible to disobey the power of adults, you must be led by them, obey, and act according to their wishes.

Until then, Nightshade had not noticed the movements of the black particles. The mass of biological substrate is produced extremely slowly, and the rate at which it accumulates and grows is difficult to notice. After arriving at the asteroid, Nightshade's entire attention was focused on building the ship, so it was impossible for him to be aware of it. Because this change is so small compared to the huge body. It's like growing a hair overnight, and there's absolutely no way you're going to want to find it out of a dense hair. However, by the time it actually works, it poses a threat to the subjective consciousness, it is too late.

"It's impossible to coexist."

The Black Particle's answer was so firm and unusually tough: "Your mind is filled with too many personal factors, as well as thoughts and concerns about other human beings. All of these have the potential to become obstacles to evolution that must be eliminated in a short period of time. In your words, it is to erase it completely. ”

Nightshade shuddered, "You, you can't do this. ”

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, our relationship was once interdependent. We don't mean to kill or replace you. We're just going to take control of your mind. ”

Black Particle explained again: "A lot of your movements are consuming extra energy. This situation must be changed. We need to evolve, and your purpose is to find those who are lost. You should remember that in the time after the explosion of the spaceship, we got along very well. We continue to give you the nutrients and motivation you need to grow, as well as the original structure and optimized genes for your biological evolution. You did a great job and survived that harsh environment. Now, what we need to do is to build on that. ”

Nightshade didn't feel too good: "What do you mean?" ”

"You're going to that blank coordinate, and we're not going anywhere."

"It can't be!"

Even though it was only a mental level exchange, Nightshade still almost blurted out, "I have to go to that place." No one, not even you, can stop me. ”

Black Particle's attitude became cold: "You are wrong, we can stop it." If you don't believe me, you can try. ”

An indescribable consciousness emanates from the new brain, which then spreads to Nightshadow's body. It's like a rope with self-awareness, alive, constantly devouring a qiē that belongs to her. The nerves, organs, circulatory system, and body fluids, including every cell inside the bones and medulla, all succumb to this invisible force. Nightshade felt that her body was changing, no longer in her imagined human form, but towards a type that resembled a slimy, semi-solid.

"Skin is a miracle in the history of biological evolution. This is an absolutely indispensable layer of protection for you humans. But for us, it is a kind of bondage that needs to be released. ”

The consciousness of the black particle is constantly released along the nerve transmission: "You have evolved bones and muscles to adapt to stress. But these structures are not complete and can only be used on Earth. So you have not been able to go into space in your natural form. Even if a large number of auxiliary devices are wrapped around the outside of the body, it is still inevitable that they will be injured by vacuum pressure. Just like a fish that is packed in a canned box, the living kind, once it leaves the box, it will immediately produce a series of negative physiological changes such as hypoxia. It is a pity that in the past time, not a single human being has been aware of the strict defects of this life form. You even regard your own shortcomings as a kind of existence of beauty. For example, the slender legs and tall body, the so-called golden ratio of hands and feet distribution, is actually a kind of sick logical thinking. You have never been aware of the shortcomings of this external form. In fact, as long as you are willing to give up and change, you will find that the future is far more exciting than you imagined. ”

Nightshade let out a wave of rage, "That's just your thoughts. ”

"This is the right direction for biological evolution."

The black particle corrected: "Beauty and ugliness have no meaning at all. Music and art are just the precipitation of human society's thinking in boring time. That's right, it's important to think, and you'll discover more about the secrets of the world itself, as well as where your own shortcomings and abilities can't reach. You may have thought about why the length of your hands and feet can't be changed at will. But you have never thought about how you can solve it with your own abilities. You rely on machinery and refuse to modify your appearance. It's actually stupid. Yes, you have evolved a highly developed technological civilization, but biological evolution is the core that really matters. Machinery can only become an auxiliary, a non-primary aspect of the material composition. If you have tried to change yourself and try to survive in a new body, you will find that the previous qiē is an absolute waste. ”

Nightshade felt her body gradually lose control, "You guys, what do you want to do to me?" ”

"As I've said before, it's a partnership. It was we who kept you alive, it was we who brought you to this place. There's plenty of energy here. In your words, food. Taste and smell are meaningless evolutionary myths, and instead of expending too much energy to produce these sensory organs, it is better to devote all of that energy to more powerful mental perceptions. You don't need your body to be in direct contact with matter, even if it's far away, and you can still understand and analyze matter through guò external energy. Hehe! Amazing, isn't it? You've done that with mechanical science. You've built detectors, you've built electronic remote sensors, but these things need to be powered by external energy, and you can't get your mind to work. Have you never thought of taking all these abilities for yourself and transforming them into a part of your body? ”

Nightshade said coldly, "Are you kidding? ”

"We never joke."

Black Particle's attitude is very strict: "The so-called joke is just an alternative way of deviating from normal logical thinking. The fantasy that animals like pigs can walk upright, that they can talk and sing like humans, and that they can even tiptoe to dance difficult dances like the ballet "Little Swan" is actually just a kind of false logic that has no basis in it. Of course, this kind of mistake is active, and it is deliberately created by your mental consciousness to create a misunderstanding between it and reality, which triggers a relaxation of the central nervous system, which in turn affects a series of related factors such as muscles and body fluids. It must be admitted that jokes do have a good effect on changing the state of human thinking and various indices of the body. However, it is a waste to actively use energy and thinking on this. ”

This explanation was detailed enough, but Nightshade shuddered, "You, you want me to turn me into you?" ”

"Why should you be afraid?"

Black Particle asked curiously, "Yes, we do intend to do this, and it's already underway." That's a good thing for you. Your body will be changed like never before. Of course, it is definitely not from your human point of view to change in a more beautiful direction. But you'll be stronger. Far more than anyone in the history of the planet. This is a comprehensive modification of the adaptability of the cosmic environment. You should be well aware of our current situation, this is not the earth, but the universe. The asteroid beneath your feet has almost no atmosphere and is extremely scarce in water. There aren't a lot of resources available to us. Its only advantage is metal. To paraphrase one of the most common examples of you human beings, it is a person who is accustomed to eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and suddenly goes bankrupt and has to live on dry bread every day. Even though it's hard to eat and hard to swallow, it's your only option at the moment. ”

Nightshade felt that her body was about to lose control completely. The giant sarcoma that comes from the nascent brain, or rather, the surface that lives on the surface around me, is constantly sending out stronger and stronger thinking instructions. It has taken its hands and feet, as well as all the parts under its head. Black particles really have a set of wisdom in terms of use. They are becoming smart and know that they should control the hands of the Night Shadow first. This is important. Otherwise, a woman with a strong temperament like Night Shadow would be ruthless and self-determined than become a microbial control body.

She is now incapable of committing suicide. The black particles are clearly aware of this. Therefore, the evolution of the mind control is slightly slower than before, and the assimilation process of the body's cells has become more thorough.

Nightshade watched as her body went limp. It's like the whole person suddenly fell into a big pit full of silt, constantly struggling, twisting desperately, but constantly falling into the depths of the mud due to gravity. This tumbling and twisting had no effect on the mud, but it stained himself with more mud. They were soft, like cornmeal batter mixed with water, and their bodies were sinking in them, their hands and feet were no longer functional, and their bodies were almost completely devoured. It only takes less than ten minutes at most, and the whole person will disappear forever into the depths of the mud. Then, a qiē will be calm again.

Or, another explanation could be used: the Nightshade is melting.

Black particles filled every corner of her body. These mysterious cell particles are so numerous that they occupy the place where white blood cells originally belong, threatening and forcing red blood cells to function as they wish. Even the mitochondria are forced to direct all their energy supply to them. The nuclei of the cells were broken down one by one, and these ugly-looking black bandits stretched out countless sharp probes and stabbed the floating cells one by one. It's like a hungry wolf biting a little white rabbit, viciously biting back and forth.

Half an hour had passed, and Nightshade's body had turned into a puddle of pus. The color was of course a deep black, but instead of staining the sand, gravel and dirt on the ground like a normal liquid, it rolled back and forth on the ground like mercury. The sun's rays shone from a very distant location, and the liquid looked swarthy, and the surface was constantly sprayed with large and small bubbles, like boiling water in a cauldron.

Nightshade's head remained unchanged, like a reef in the sea, stiff and erect.

Thinking, the strong sense of thinking from the parasitic brain, hits this remnant like a tidal wave. Their impact was so violent, so powerful. Although it is intangible, as long as it is a living entity with a little self-awareness, it can perceive this almost substantial thinking energy. They gathered from all directions, with Nightshade's head as the core, scrubbing and slamming into each other.

"Why don't you want to be honestly assimilated by us?"

Black Particle doesn't understand this attachment: "You've seen it, your body has almost become us. More than 90 percent of the part has become a semi-solid form that is most suitable for the existence of space in the universe. But why are you still so insistent and refuse to let us get the last part? ”

The head is the core of Nightshade's thinking.

Her head is not the same as it used to be.

It is more than three times the size, and there is only a very unevenly distributed layer of skin on the surface. Fresh out of the wreckage of the Explorer 1 spacecraft, Nightshade lacked enough nutrients to cover as much of his skin as the most important parts of his body. For example, around the brain, as well as the heart and other parts. Although the energy was later obtained and bones were formed inside the body, this strange appearance that appeared from the beginning has been retained.

There are also more practical aspects, such as the eye in the middle of the forehead, which is more than five times the normal volume and is stored in an erect way. Two eyes are too wasteful, and in the current environment, one is enough. As long as there is no other person of the opposite sex around, there is no other person, and the beauty and ugliness become worthless. The reason why "Chanel" cosmetics are expensive is precisely because women need to use its magic to attract men. If all the men in the world die overnight, it will certainly not be the women who will despair first, but the manufacturers of luxury women's goods who desperately bid high prices for their goods.

Nightshade has no teeth, as the current food does not need to be chewed at all, but is ingested in a cellular way, and then digested.

She also has no tongue and no nose. Neither taste nor smell is necessary for zài. It only takes a little bit of biological matrix from the surface of the body to be able to sense the detailed composition of the object being touched. Even the original advantage in distance can be offset by the powerful ability to think and touch. I1292
