Chapter 59: Planting in the Brain
A gray barren land, a sky full of stars.
Here, all the information that has been entered into the memory, the original vast ocean has been completely occupied and replaced by a new world......
But this is not a dream.
The moment the Spy Cub opens his eyes, he realizes that he is no longer where he is.
It's a different place, exactly the same place as the occupied world in the dream, but Lynn is sure it's indoors and not outdoors, and the starlight in the sky is all visible in images.
However, with the eyesight of the average imaginary, it would be difficult for them to distinguish these differences.
Here, there were more than just spy cubs, and Lynn noticed that there were many cubs around, and the light emanating from above shone on their bodies, and Lin felt that these cubs seemed to be getting a little strange.
They seem to have gotten a lot more energetic, and none of the cubs are crying there.
Some of the cubs even held up their bodies with their hands, which they probably didn't have that strength before.
Is this the effect of the information injected into their brains?
There are dozens of pups gathered here, I don't know if they are all of them, or if there are only so few of the original pups left, and they look like they are ...... Wild creatures are looking around with curiosity and thoughts, and some of the pups are still crawling around exploring.
And, the main thing is that these pups have something on their heads, and this thing is like a spike, and half of the spike seems to be pierced into the pup's head, and the pups don't even look like they feel it.
The spy cub also has one on its head, if you look at it from the inside. You can see that the thorn has pierced about halfway through. And it is tangled with the nerve wires in the brain. But it cleverly didn't hurt the brain.
And Lin also found that the respirators that the pups were wearing were missing.
The young of the Void People had to be put on a respirator from the time they left the hospital where they were born, but the air here didn't seem to be polluted, so it didn't matter if they were taken down.
'Hum! Suddenly, a voice rang out, and all the pups gathered together as if they had been called.
These cubs didn't even know how to climb. Now the speed of crawling is actually quite fast, can you do this kind of thing just by changing the brain without changing the muscles?
The pups gather under a large rock and squeeze out a large amount of paste-like objects at the bottom of the rock, where the pups lie down and eat the paste.
Lin asked the Spy to eat a little as well, and found that the paste seemed to be mixed with nutrients suitable for the growth of the pups, but the taste was difficult for the Void Folk to eat.
The pups here are still very excited to eat, not only in the brain images, but also because they are already hungry.
After eating, they fall asleep on the ground.
These pups feel like creatures being raised......
Is this how they live here? What's the point of black metal 'raising' them like this?
Let's take a look at it first.
…… After that, five days and nights passed.
Lynn discovered. The pups here do seem to be kept here, as Lynn thought. They get up every day and night, eat, and then go to sleep.
Food will pop up under the surrounding rocks, but the food will come out in a different position each time, and the pups will have to crawl around to eat.
It's the only sport they do.
However, in the midst of this creature-like life, Lynn discovers something very strange......
The food for these young pups for the first two days and nights was a basic sticky and nutritious food, and later on, Lynn discovered that a new ingredient had been added to the food......
A strange crumb.
The composition of the food is the same as before, only this crumb is newly added, these crumbs are extremely small and not very much, and they do not affect the taste, but they are substances that cannot be digested by the void, and some of them are like small metal fragments.
At first, Lynn didn't know what the debris meant because it would be discharged, but after studying some of the surrounding pups, Lynn discovered what the debris did.
It seems to be used to grow the thorns on the head.
That's right, it's the thorn that pierces the head of the Void Folk Cub, they seem to be completely glued to the brain of the Void Folk Cub, after the Void Folk Cub eats the debris, the debris will be absorbed, and then it will be transmitted to the brain as nutrients all the way to the brain, and at the same time give the brain normal nutrition, the debris will also be glued to the thorn that pierces into the head, thus increasing the volume of the spine......
Lynn also discovered that the young had an extra type of cell in their brain, which could be called 'stinging cells', and they had only one purpose – to collect debris and stick it to the thorns.
To put it simply, the thorn on the head of the Void Folk's pups will grow with their heads because of the cells, as long as they continue to eat the crumbs.
However, there is no such phenomenon in the spy's body, Lin thinks that it is because the spy's body is not controlled by the brain, and the brain can basically be said to be just an 'ornament', so it is natural that the spy's digestive system is not under the command of the brain, so it will not send the debris to the brain as nutrients.
Of course, the 'stingers' didn't show up either......
Lynn believed that the cells were created by some kind of virus, and that many viruses had been mixed in with the Spy's initial head piercing the head.
Generally speaking, it is normal for a large number of viruses to enter the wound, and Lin didn't pay much attention to it, but Lin recently studied some of the viruses that entered at that time, and Lin found that there is a virus in it that will cause special effects on the cells of the virtual people's pups......
These viruses do not use cells to proliferate as usual, and when they enter a cell, they use their nuclear information to modify the cell, turning the cell into a 'stinging cell'.
As long as one cell is infected and becomes like this, there will be a group of these cells in the pup, and they are not controlled by any control, nor are they attacked by the immune system, and the stinging cells will gather in large numbers in the brain, and keep repeating the work of assembling debris to the thorns.
They do not proliferate excessively, so they do not affect the normal development of the pup's brain.
This feeling...... It's peculiar.
What are they shaping this thorn for, allowing them to grow with their brains? It is impossible to control these cubs just for the sake of controlling them, and it is not so complicated to control them at all.
They are supposed to have some kind of purpose, but what is it? What do they want to do with this thorn that grows with their brains?
It may not be until the pups grow up that Lynn will see the problem.
I don't know how old I have to grow to be able to find out, and the growth rate of the Void People is too slow, many creatures are born to avoid predators, and the Void People are still a pup after ten years.
However, the Spy should be asked to try it first, and what problems will arise if this growth continues.
Lynn had the Spy's digestive system send the debris to the brain, and then created cells that mimicked the stinger cells, and combined the debris to make the spines grow slowly, just like the pups.
And after trying that...... Lin found that this did not seem to have any effect on the brain, and in terms of the normal senses of the void, it was not felt at all, but if you go to the dream realm, you can see the change.
The dream in the Spy Cub's mind has now become a world of gray rocks and starry skies.
And on this rocky field, Lynn noticed that something strange had appeared.
In the center of the rock, there is a huge rock that towers like a mountain peak, this huge rock is transparent, and it looks like it is made of a kind of 'glass' made by the Void People.
And at the top of this boulder, you can see, there are some weird flashes.
A ball of light, about ten centimeters in diameter, is located in the rock of this glass plate.
It felt very strange, because in the whole memory, there was only one of these balls of light......
Lin later tried to enter the dreams of other cubs, and sure enough, similar things were found in the minds of other cubs.
Is that what it looks like?
Later, Lin continued to observe the ball of light, and as Lin thought, the ball of light would grow slowly, and every time the spike in the cub's brain was enlarged, the ball of light would also grow a little bigger.
If the pups reach adulthood, according to calculations, Lin thinks that this ball of light may be able to turn into a sphere with a diameter of tens of meters.
Although the size doesn't mean much in the dream, this change can also indicate its growth, and it gives Lin the feeling of planting a ball in the brain of a pup.
What the hell is this doing? What does this ball of light mean?
Lin felt that this ball of light should be using the brain of the cub to grow.
It seems to have something to do with the size of the spines, but in reality, it's the spines that suck something into the cub's brain.
When the stinging cells increase the size of the thorns, the pup's brain will also produce some strange reactions, as if something has been transmitted to the thorns.
However, there is no way to know what it is, generally speaking, the brain search of the pups with brain waves can detect clearly, but Lin found that if the method of brain wave detection is used, the small metal microorganisms in the vicinity will react and gather over.
And lately, Lynn thinks Black Metal may have started to suspect that something is wrong with the Spy Cub.
Although they didn't appear directly, Lynn just felt the feeling of 'suspicion'......
There's no way to go into too much detail here, so Lin has to figure out a way to get a pup with a thorn on its head out.
But if you're a spy alone, it's hard to get out on your own......
However, it is not completely out of the ordinary, because the army of the Void People has already gathered nearby, and it should be possible to use them nearby...... (To be continued......)
