After moving the octopus body for a while, Lupin gradually figured out the working mechanism of the nine brains.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit like the relationship between a leader and a subordinate.

The main brain, located in the torso of the main body, is used to give orders! The command, on the other hand, does not directly control the specific movements of the eight brachiopods...... These orders are only given to the vice-brain.

The vice-brain, on the other hand, will use that simple and weak thinking ability to think hard, how to do it to complete the orders of the superiors?

In this process, the eight auxiliary brains that share the same memory system will also "discuss" with each other, and there is a phenomenon of cooperation.

Lupin had just tried to unscrew a bottle of water that resembled mineral water.

His own original idea, of course, was to open the bottle of mineral water in the most common human way – grasping the bottle with one hand and rotating the cap with the other.

But when this command reached the eight subbrains, it changed its taste.

The eight subbrains soon discovered that this body did not have a "left hand" or "right hand" at all, and could not do the action of grasping, so they quickly began to play themselves!

Four brachiopods climbed up the bottle, and the suction cups attached to the outer wall of the bottle, holding it in place.

The other two brachiopods are coiled around the side of the cap with the thinnest tip of the tip, and after being sucked and fixed with suction cups, they begin to pull outward.

It's kind of like spinning top...... Since the wrists and feet are spirally wound, the force of "pulling" is directly transformed into the force of "rotation", and the cap is quickly loosened.

But before it was completely unscrewed, another tentacle was not to be outdone and stretched out...... This one is even more opportunistic, sucking the top surface of the bottle cap with a suction cup, and pulling the bottle cap that has been turned very loose directly upwards! Make a "wave" sound.

Lupin was dumbfounded.

None of these latter operations are controlled by him, but are completely determined by the eight simple consciousnesses of the "next room".

"These eight subbrains...... Can it be regenerated? Lupin suddenly thought of a question.

He has always been curious about the relationship between the brain and consciousness, such as if his brain is destroyed, will consciousness die completely?

But he didn't dare to use himself for experiments, and at this time, these eight auxiliary brains, anyway, did not affect his human subject consciousness, but could be used to experiment.

Lupin quickly approached the knife from earlier.

It took a lot of effort to get one of the wrists and feet to roll up the knife and accurately cut off the other wrist and foot.

This form only contains the regenerative healing ability of an octopus, but after being strengthened by Pandora's substance, the regeneration rate is also close to that of a second-turn immortal...... A few minutes later, Lupin saw that his main torso had grown new brachial feet.

But in the "next room" in my mind, there are only seven simple consciousness villains left!

"The regenerated brachiopods no longer have a parabrain? And the corresponding simple consciousness also disappeared with the parabrain? Lupin frowned deeply.

This reminded him once again that he must protect his human brain and maintain its normal operation, because even if he is close to the regeneration ability of the second reincarnation immortal, he can't regenerate the "brain...... Once there is a problem with the brain, it may really disappear from this world.

"It's the tentacle ......," Lupin suddenly noticed the severed tentacle.

It's squirming fast, and it's regenerating just like Lupin's body! And it really slowly grew out of the main torso, which looks like a weird octopus with only one leg.

But this is the end of it, after growing the main torso, it stops moving, as if it is a nerd, and this torso is only about 25cm in diameter, much smaller than Lupin's main body.

Lupin tried to dissect it, and found that there was no main brain in the miniature main torso.

And because it did not grow the other 7 brachiopods, it naturally did not have the other 7 accessory brains.

Only the 1 auxiliary brain that originally came with the wrist and foot is still ...... And in the process of being dissected, "it" instinctively resisted twice.

"Without my body, can I still survive on my own? Can you also make a biological instinctive stress response? Lupin was really surprised this time.

Doesn't that mean that if Lupin lets it go, it can even become a life of its own?

"But it's clumsy, it's slow...... Is it because there is only one epibrain? Lupin's mind spun quickly, "Such a weak stress response is impossible to survive in nature, not to mention that as an octopus, it only has one tentacle, and it is also very difficult to survive." ”

A thought pops up in the mind and gradually becomes more and more difficult to suppress.

With great effort, Lupin cut off the other seven brachiopods, and then stirred up the currents to bring them together.

Macroscopic...... Eight tentacles begin to fuse, sharing the same main torso!

In this way, it looks almost like a normal octopus...... The only difference may be that if you cut it open, you will find that this octopus does not have a main brain for thinking, but only eight secondary brains that can work together to carry out some of the most instinctive reactions.

And at this time......

"Load [Fishman Form]." Lupin meditated.

In the blink of an eye, Lupin turned back into a scaly teenager, and at the same time, his eyes quickly looked at the "ordinary octopus" next to him.

It's still there!

It was squirming unconsciously on that piece of floor, and the bottled water it had just opened was poured aside, and its tentacles actually knew how to roll up some and keep smearing it on its body to keep it moist.

Lupin looked at it with a shocked gaze.

"This thing...... From me, I can feel it, even with my eyes closed. Lupin quickly put on his clothes, even opened the door and jumped into the water, locked the door, and swam hundreds of meters along the streets of the underwater city.

Looking back......

There is still a strange feeling in my heart! From the direction of the house I rented, there was always an inexplicable feeling of blood connection, and it didn't change too much with the distance.

Lupin quickly swam all the way to Dr. Ge's lab.

This time left more than six kilometers!

This feeling has not gone away, and it has not diminished.

At Dr. Ge's place, Lupin took a little biological sample he had collected in the Canyon of Life at the bottom of the sea and returned to his rented house.

This octopus "clone" is really special! It's obviously the same origin and homogeneity as yourself.,There's a sense of blood connection with yourself.,But it won't disappear as you load other recombination states...... Lupin plans to do some experiments to find out what it is!

Soon back at the rented house, the octopus was still lying on the ground, squirming unconsciously.

Lupin pulled out a small floating shrimp the size of a fingernail from his pocket and threw it to the octopus.

The latter quickly rolled up with his tentacles and stuffed it into his mouth.

[Obtained 0.1% ...... of "East China Sea Oyster Shrimp" gene]

Seeing this prompt, Lupin was overjoyed.

It eats, and it can actually get genes on its own, as for only 0.1%, Lupin is not surprised, because he has already eaten this small shrimp before, has 100% genes, and now it only gets the differentiated part.

And just like Lupin swallowing things himself, the octopus clone in front of him also disappeared in an instant.

Lupin reached out to open its mouth almost immediately, only to find that the oyster shrimp that had just been swallowed in his mouth was gone.

When his fish-man hand touched the octopus's body, a sense of blood connection arose.

Lupin immediately felt "the next room" again, and for a moment read a memory that did not belong to his own ontological experience.

This includes lying on the ground...... Icy floors...... Next to the mineral water bottle...... The long wait...... Delicious prawns......

These are the memories that the eight subbrains located in the rented house have received and stored in a separate memory system.

When Lupin touched the octopus, he instantly "saw" it all.

In the blink of an eye, it's like experiencing it yourself.
