Song Lan brought the important news she heard from Jasmine back to the garbage dump, and Maydell listed all the details on a slip of paper and muttered to herself, "Strict ethnic system, hierarchical management, I have never seen such a species." ”

Not only are these worms intelligent, but they also know how to draw knowledge from humans.

"This is not their final form, and if left unchecked, it may not be long before a race of people with intelligence and creativity will be born."

Never since the Stone Age has humanity been threatened by another race as it is now.

"Jasmine says that their actions are governed by liaisons, who are likely to be company executives, managers of a department, or politicians, who have a lot of social resources in their hands. ”

"It's too broad."

Dr. Bai Zhu shook his head, "There are too many people who meet these requirements, and there are at least dozens of them in the Seventeenth District. ”

Finding the person who has been replaced is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the liaison is even more hidden, it will never appear in the "foreground", and all the dirty work will be done by the sappers of the clan.

These sappers are so loyal to their race that even the consciousness of the Devourer cannot influence them.

Even when kept in a vessel, worms are extremely aggressive towards anyone who passes through them.

Maydell analyzed that this was most likely due to the fact that the worms were direct creations of consciousness aggregates, which allowed them to avoid being infested by similar creatures, and it was almost impossible for these worms to confess to their contacts.

"Luckily, they're targeting you."

Dr. Shiratake lamented that it would be bad luck for anyone to be targeted by this group of worms that could turn into anyone, and even they had no way of knowing how many "sapper" divisions were still in the 17th District.

"What do you mean it's good that they're targeting me? Don't you have a little bit of compassion? ”

Song Lan was not happy.

"There's a limit to their healing power, and this difficult property should be no different from a tabula rasa for you."

Among the employees of the garbage dump, Medell is the most deeply affected by the Devourer's consciousness, so she can often feel the Devourer's respect for Song Lan from the swarm consciousness, "The way to kill them is very simple, as long as you wipe out their bodies into dust in an instant, the worms parasitic in the body will die together." ”

After her trip to the Third Neutral Country, Medell finally understood the Devourer's feelings for Song Lan.

It wasn't just out of fear, it was a heartfelt admiration for him as if he were a god or a father.

These emotions for the aggregate of consciousness were all transferred to Song Lan for some reason.

Could it be that when their consciousness was connected, the Devourer mistook him for a consciousness aggregate? After all, if the upper-level life form really existed, it was very likely that Song Lan and the consciousness aggregate were at the same level.

That's what it is......

The 2167 version of the confession of the thief as a father?

Song Lan, who was unfortunate enough to be the target of the plot, sat listlessly on the sofa in the common room, holding the utensils, and examining the worms inside through the glass.

It was still in good spirits after a day of not eating or drinking, and bared its teeth at him in the bottle.

"Did you hear me, Medell just said, as long as I want, I can solve you in an instant!"

"Shhh——! Hiss——! ”

Faced with Song Lan's deliberately vicious expression, the worm in the vessel was not only not afraid at all, but hit the part of Song Lan's fingers with its head as if it was enraged.

After emerging from the human body, they lose the ability to communicate, and rely on devourers to help translate their emotions.

"Yo, you're still angry?"

Song Lan flicked through the vessel, and the worm immediately shook and rolled several times at the bottom of the vessel.

"They're not alive, it's just the most primitive aggression of the creatures."

After hesitating in the darkness for a long time δ she finally found a suitable opportunity to cut in, she didn't understand why these worms dared to provoke this demon, did they naively think that as long as the liaison was hiding in the crowd, no one would find out?

In fact, this demon doesn't need to discover them at all.

All he needed was to cause a psionic storm to turn all the imposters into dust, and with what he knew about the demon, it was entirely possible for the other party to act so frustratedly.

Therefore, in order to avoid being harmed by the pond fish, δ thought it necessary for him to meet this demon.

"First of all, I need to clarify that I have only been following Jasmine, and subjectively I have no intention of coming to District 17, and I haven't done anything since I came here!"

This is a long disclaimer.

Song Lan's attention also shifted from the worm that didn't eat oil and salt to the shadow on the table that was only the size of a palm.

δ seems to have consciously compressed his body to make himself look as small and harmless as possible.

The last time they met, the demon had warned it not to come to the city, and she had to make sure she didn't get swallowed by the other party before the conversation could continue.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm here to bring you important news, I can discern them from the crowd!"

"How can you tell?"

"They are a group of creatures with no emotions, only instincts, and although they can simulate all kinds of human expressions, they do not produce any emotions."

δ even gave up his hobby of playing pantomime riddles and told everything he knew, "So, if you can sense the emotional fluctuations of humans or creatures, you can pull them out of the crowd!" ”

"But how can I sense other people's emotional fluctuations?"

“…… It's a side effect of my abilities. ”

δ"I can sense human emotions, especially their negative emotions, so that I can tap into potential customers from the crowd, and these worms, they will never be my customers." ”

"I see, you mean we can hire you to find out the whereabouts of the liaison."

"Think so."

"Then you can make an offer, but you should have noticed when you came, our conditions here are not very good."

Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in δ's eyes.

She came here not only to clear up the misunderstanding, but also to facilitate a business.

I'm afraid that the same kind of people can't imagine that it has the guts and ability to talk to this demon about business!

"First of all, you can't eat me."

"Yes."

For a good citizen who had never thought of cannibalism, this was not a requirement for Song Lan at all.

"You can't eat jasmine either!"

"Huh......"

Seeing Song Lan frowning, δ immediately changed its conditions, it now tensed its nerves, and profoundly realized that once this business collapsed, it would never be possible for it to leave this room, "Okay, you can eat her, but you will eat her again after a while!" ”

"I didn't say I was going to eat her, but aren't you enemies?"

"Not anymore."

"Okay, what else?"

Song Lan wanted to continue asking, but when he noticed Bai Zhu and Medell's subtle eyes, he could only suppress his curiosity to avoid his image of a "cruel ogre" from being further deepened in their understanding.

No, why is it so easy for everyone around him to believe rumors?

"And ...... I didn't think about it. ”

δ pondered for a while, she didn't expect that this business would go unexpectedly well, and this demon actually agreed to her two conditions, so that she didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past, when it came to business with humans, she was usually on the stronger side.

"In that case, you can help us find the liaison first, and you can go back and think about it slowly."

"Okay, that's a word...... Do I need to draw or sign? ”

δ asked cautiously again.

"No, I don't."

Song Lan waved her hand, "You can go out and inquire, there are few people in the Seventeenth District who are more credible than me Song Lan." ”
