Chapter 137: Hunting Time
Li Yu opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make any sound.
At this time, Taylor's voice sounded again, "Our new body has no language system, but the good thing is that we can communicate through consciousness, otherwise this journey would be too lonely." ”
It seemed to feel a bit of a violent mood swing on the other side, Taylor then added.
"Don't worry, I can't see what's going on in your brain, just like you can't see what's going in my head, we can only receive what the other person is willing to pass on, just like sending a text message."
"You list the recipients, edit the content, and hit send."
Li Yu tried as he said, "You just mentioned the new body, what is the new body?" ”
"Yes, it seems that you have mastered it very quickly." Taylor was relieved, "The devices you just saw can temporarily detach our consciousness from our original body and attach ourselves to this king squid. ”
"It's like a [Reincarnation Bell]?"
"You're very good at getting to the point," Taylor said, "and the technology does have a lot of similarities with the Reincarnation Bell, but it's much more advanced.
"You could think of the [Reincarnation Bell] as the initial result of this top-notch faith technology, but what we are experiencing now is undoubtedly more exciting than the [Reincarnation Bell].
"Neither you nor I need real death to complete the transfer of consciousness, we are now the king squid."
Taylor raised a tentacle as he spoke.
Only then did Li Yu realize that it was not that this "pond" was too small, but that his new body was too big now.
"Why the King Squid?" Li Yu asked again.
"Okay, we wanted something bigger to experiment with, because if we were too small, we would have more accidents during the experiment.
"There are a lot of predators in the ocean, and if the subjects are eaten in the middle of the experiment, it will be a big loss."
"In addition, the target must also have a certain amount of intelligence, the king squid has a complex nervous system, and its intelligence level is not bad, probably at the level of a 3-4-year-old human cub, which is enough to accommodate our consciousness.
"Finally, the king squid also has a main brain and eight secondary brains, which is why we can all attach to this body now, but I can control this body with the main brain, and you are more like a sightseer in the secondary brain.
"I can show you how to manipulate this body first, and then I'll hand over control of the mastermind to you when you're familiar with it."
Taylor said as he manipulated the king squid to move, swimming towards the light above.
Soon the king squid poked his head out, and then Li Yu saw the villa where he lived.
So it wasn't a delusion that he felt something hidden under the water when he was walking on the lake last night.
The Tertiary actually kept this experimental object in the lagoon on the island, and there was no comparison when it was underwater before, and Li Yu did not know how big this new body was.
It wasn't until he saw the house on the shore and had a reference that he realized that a tentacle alone might be thirty or forty meters long.
Li Yu had also heard of the king squid before, although it has the word squid in its name, but in fact it is a giant squid, and most of them live in the deep sea at a depth of 200-400 meters, a depth that even sunlight cannot reach.
The body length of an adult king squid is generally more than six meters, and it is said that the largest can reach more than ten meters.
But the one hidden in the lagoon is clearly over this length, and the big one is a bit abnormal.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Taylor's voice rang in his head again.
"When our men first caught it, it was only nine meters long...... This length is not very safe, so we have managed to strengthen its body to a certain extent, which can be regarded as a reward for its cooperation with our research. ”
The king squid turned its head around the surface of the water, made a look, and then dived into the water again, swimming towards the mouth of the lagoon.
But by this time it was time for low tide, and the small piece of land at the mouth of the lagoon had resurfaced, cutting off the connection between the lagoon and the sea.
Li Yu was still thinking about whether Taylor would want to climb over from the land, but he saw the two rocks in front of him suddenly move and slowly retreat to both sides.
Well, there was a secret door hidden here.
The Tertiary should have been conducting this experiment for quite some time, and the preparation was very well.
The king squid slipped through the secret door and finally came out into the ocean.
There, they also meet Matt, who is driving a fishing boat ready to go out to sea.
The huge body of the king squid swam underneath the fishing boat.
Like a black ghost, Matt ignored it and continued to steer his boat towards his target.
"They know about the existence of this king squid?" Li Yu asked.
"Well, they're all employees of the island, and it's impossible and unnecessary to hide from them in the experiment." Taylor replied.
Speaking of this, her tone gradually became excited, "It's time to hunt." ”
As the king squid entered the sea, there were more fish around.
However, Taylor has little interest in the small fish, and only controls the king squid to continue swimming until he comes across a tiger shark that is also hunting.
The tiger shark was about three meters long, and it seemed to weigh three or four hundred pounds, and it was chasing a sea turtle.
It had apparently noticed the king squid as well, and even with its limited intellect it could see that the big one was not very easy to deal with, but it was reluctant to get to his mouth.
And after such a hesitation, only the king squid had already come to its side, stretched out a tentacle, and wrapped around it.
When the tiger shark tried to escape, it was too late, and as soon as the tentacles touched its body, the suction cups on it were firmly attached to its skin.
At the same time, the tentacles began to tighten continuously, and the tiger shark immediately felt a strong squeezing sensation.
It flicked its tail desperately, trying to break free, but unfortunately the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and Li Yu could feel that the strength of the struggle on the other end of the tentacle was getting weaker and weaker.
It's a very magical experience, it's like daywalking.
He could feel his body, the water around him and the tiger shark's resistance, but he couldn't control his body.
It's a state that sits somewhere between a first-person and a third-person perspective.
After strangling the shark, the king squid did not swallow it, but continued to dive in search of a new target.
Taylor is in a good mood today, and the hunt seems to have injected him with youth and vitality.
Soon she spotted another great white shark and swam it humming a tune.
