Chapter 272: Two Wills
Under the guidance of the captain of the guard, an intricate labyrinth was passed, and according to the inconspicuous marks along the way, it reached the holy place that the believers said.
Song Lan had to be glad that they had met the captain of the guards of the believers, otherwise if he and Lu Xiang were to find it by themselves, I was afraid that they might not be able to find the exit of the labyrinth by exploring until tomorrow during the day.
He guessed that Andrew, who had broken into the cave at that time, had just made a circle around the outermost part of the cave and returned immediately after getting the news of the "mother's wall" from the mural.
The shrine is located in an empty place deep in the pit, where the believers have set up wooden houses, and the wooden roof is lit up by candles, and at the bottom of the sacred place is a strange pool lined with mutant eggs more than a meter high.
Many believers walked around these domes, and from time to time they put their ears to the eggshells and listened to the movements inside.
"What are they doing here?"
Song Lan asked curiously, guessing that the flying mutant creatures mentioned by Dr. Oleg were hatched from these eggs.
"I'm testing the degree of hatching." The captain explained, "The High Priest said that the Old Gods had decreed that all the offspring that were about to hatch should be brought to the entrance of the cave so that they could be reborn. ”
Good for you, high priest!
It turns out that you sent the unhatched Wyvern to the Heavy's face!
He had wondered why the Wild Devourers, who inhabited the deepest part of the pit, were able to lay eggs at the entrance of the pit every night, all of which were given out by the believers.
We don't seem to know much about the pit, and if we knew that the eggs that had been so hard to bring down the entrance to the cave every night had been burned clean by Dr. Oleg's brigade.
Song Lan could only sigh that there were a few coincidences that had created the current situation, and we were suspected to be lucky that we had no chance to recruit an experienced medical team, and we came there after the wild devourer was about to break out of the cocoon.
If it was a few days later and the Devourer hatched, Oleg and the others would probably be less fierce.
But it was obvious that the little priest did not seem to welcome us, and from the moment when the two of them identified themselves before they left the door, the hunched, white-haired old man had always kept a straight face, and I did not hide my vigilance and disgust towards Song Lan and the others.
Song Lan slowly realized that it also represented the will of the Devourer to some extent.
According to the captain of the guard, the little priest was once baptized as a 'mother', and what I am describing is the process of assimilation between the devourer and the individual.
"You welcome him."
Before the captain of the guard left, the little priest said in a heated voice, "You know about the mechanical insect swarm, and you also want to communicate with you. ”
Song Lan didn't pay attention to the other party's good attitude, and instead asked, "He should have vaguely moved the egg to the front of the hole, why did he do that?" ”
I don't think there's anything subtle about that.
The least characteristic of the Devourer is not that it is not swarm-conscious, and whether that decision is made by the Priest himself or the Devourer, we must all know that all the eggs that were not brought to the door were destroyed.
"Because it can delay the retreat of rapid transformation."
Although he said that he was willing to communicate with us, the little priest answered Song Lan's question with practical actions.
"The regression of the rapid transformation...... That doesn't do him any good? ”
That answer was beyond the expectations of the two of them, in our cognition, there must be conditions to limit it, and the devourer will follow the instinctive regression and spread endlessly, but a wild devourer actually knows how to restrain his desire to degenerate.
"There are no enemies inside, and you are not ready."
The tone of the little priest changed slightly, and Song Lan, who didn't have much research on devourers, immediately realized that it was a wild devourer connected to my mind.
It seems that due to the problem of communicating with the mechanical insect swarm, the little priests as individuals and collectives have the same opinion, but in the end I have to go against the will of the mother.
"Enemies? Is he referring to this medical team? ”
Song Lan was even more confused, even if Oleg stole the "Commander IV. Type" equipped with heavy firepower, but behind the Devourer, a few combat type bone armor were simply enough, it only needed to hoard a wave of mutant creatures outside the pit, and it needed to come forward by itself, which was enough to wipe out all of Dr. Oleg's brigade.
"It is us, your enemies, who dwell under the world."
"So, he made this weird moon?"
Min Xiang immediately realized the meaning of the other party's words, and asked, Until now, I have also figured out the principle of this round of strange moons, and before I saw the holy land of the believers, I felt more and more that the two belonged to the same species.
There aren't even two Devourers in that big town!
Or a devourer, and a mysterious species we've never seen before.
"The moon is the enemy, it's interfering with your mind, it's waiting for you to complete your transformation!"
Before he could finish speaking, the young priest's tone changed markedly again, and my eyes were bloodshot, "Did you tell them?" You want to communicate with them, you want to be nosy! ”
With that, I threw my cane aside, scratched my forehead with both hands, and pushed my nails into my skin with such force that I tore the flesh up.
As soon as I heard the next words, I understood, and the little priest was completely in a state of confusion, and the afterword was a precursor, as if no two people were fighting for control of my body.
"Yes...... Smell a rat...... The moon ......, and it's eroding ......"
"Get out, get out, they're welcome!"
It was the first time Song Lan had seen that no one could resist the will of the mother, and the situation at the moment seemed to be that there was no other will vying for control of the little priest.
"The small family is hot and quiet first."
In order to prevent the little priest from tearing himself alive directly, Song Lan hurriedly said, "Give you a face, sit down and talk about it first." ”
However, that time, the two sides did not have any suggestions, and when the battle for consciousness in the body fell into white coldness, suddenly not a single white arm pierced through the dome and the building, and pressed towards the little priest.
But before touching the inner skeleton armor under Song Lan's body, the pitch-white arm retracted as if it were electrocuted.
The little priest who had fallen into madness paused, my head was held outside Song Lan's other skeletal armored arm, and my pupils, which exuded a detailed white aura, were forced to look at Song Lan.
At this moment, my face is covered with blood, and the wound can directly see my skull, which makes me suspicious of zombies at the moment, if I change to a special person who has not been weakened by the Devourer, I am afraid that I will be in love at this moment.
The two just looked at each other.
There was a dead silence in the room.
"It's boring, it's boring!"
After a long time, the little priest suddenly grinned, and against the backdrop of my face full of blood and wounds, the smile looked terrible.
- "Come to you, you wait for them!" ”
