Chapter 376: A Corner of Shinjuku and Barrier City
As the exact circumstances were still unclear, Nesta kept most of the intrusions in the target's body in a latent state, and only launched an attempt to explore a single target, intending to figure out how far the base's defense capabilities had reached;
In the first step, the invasion of non-living organisms at the molecular level is successful, otherwise there will be no follow-up attempts;
In the second step, the transfer of the intrusion between the subjects was also successful, and in addition to validating this behavior, there was another purpose, which was not to allow future exploration that might be exposed directly to the staff associated with the egging chamber, as that could divert suspicion of attention to the egg.
Therefore, after being transferred several times through respiratory transmission, contact transmission, bodily fluid transmission, etc., Nesta finally lodged on a suitable target, and the security post he was responsible for often patrolled the larger area, and after a few days, he was rotated to a farther non-bordering area;
After waiting for several rotations, the unusually patient Nesta activated his back hand and set the molecular fluids in his target's body into action
In the earlier preparations, the parasitic molecules have proliferated to the level of a cell, and now begin to merge and merge within the target body to form a complete, identical cellular structure, and then begin to act as a material anchor for the threaded mind.
At this moment, when this cell took shape and produced a complete thinking attribute, a pair of eyes located in the depths of the base suddenly opened;
It was a pair of eyes with annoyance, in addition to annoyance, but at the same time a little uncanny, as if surprised by what was happening;
However, these emotions did not affect its subsequent actions, and a vague thought message was sent along the infinite flow of thoughts, and almost exactly synchronously reached the gap between the barrier and the small star, where it was received by the base inspector in the metallic quasar
[The intruder is found to be a parasitic microorganism in the jurisdiction, located in area 323-42-13 on the 43rd floor of the barrier, and requests to activate the thinking screen to confirm the specific target.] 】
【Allowed】
After the seemingly unintermediated communication ended, many orders were sent to the enforcement department and dispersed to the various overseers, and then some very special 'exercises' were collectively operated by the overseers, so that their thread-like thoughts gradually rose from all sides and penetrated into the unnamed realm in a way that was not clear to the disseminators themselves.
Then, due to a certain fluctuation of thought, these threads are connected into a web within their invisible and intangible 'space', and shrouded towards the anomalous area, filtering thoughts along the way like a sieve.
This is a common measure for river civilizations and forces to deal with the invasion of thinking, and the gap between the forces is generally only in sensitivity, accuracy, and other aspects, but generally speaking, the forces that can stand on the galaxy for hundreds of years and have not been destroyed or occupied by doves will basically have relatively deep defense capabilities in this regard;
Although the criminal gang backed by this base is not a large force, it also has some deterrent power in the dark world, so in fact, it has not experienced such a provocation for many years, and the 'thinking screen' used for self-investigation has naturally not been used passively for a long time
Under this use, the employees in the relevant area suddenly had a sense of mental discomfort, among which the careless ones may not have thought too much, but the careful ones immediately thought of what the reason was, and immediately gave birth to a corresponding sense of fear, wondering if the rest of the forces had found out the location of the base.
The elves were lucky, because of some of Nesta's curiosity back then, the 'inner vision' that was discovered not only showed an increasingly significant value in scientific research such as magic, but also showed a certain degree of 'spy' adaptability at this moment;
Unlike the base, which relies on vague 'feelings' to perform thinking tasks, elf spellcasters can use 'seeing' to more intuitively understand what is happening, even if there are many interferences, but they are much more reliable than 'feelings';
Therefore, the big action of the Overseers in the mental aggregate failed to conceal their own consciousness that maintained the inner horizon at this time, and the overly obvious 'search direction' also hinted at where the problem was
As a result, Nesta was notified of the danger at the first time, so that he learned a series of useful information according to the actual situation, such as the sensitivity of the other party, reaction speed, monitoring object, etc.;
In the judgment, this should be a means of targeting the 'other creatures', 'other thinking fluctuations', and 'affected one's own thinking' in the employee's body, and the technical performance is very sensitive to abnormal feelings, but the locking of specific goals seems to be the weakness of their action, that is, I don't know what level of this degree is in the river system.
In addition, the ability to use the mind 'out of sight' has a strong attraction even for the Republic, and is a technology worth stealing. But it seems that there is no need to steal it, because after the birth of human beings, the other party will inevitably take the initiative to hand over a certain part of it, and then you will be able to get a glimpse of it from point to face.
While pondering, the follow-up at the front line has not been stopped.
Nesta first dissolves the formed cell body in the target's body, dispersing it into a molecular-liquid form while beginning to retreat into the threaded mind in an attempt to see where the lower limit of this vigilance lies;
And as he withdrew a little bit, the thinking ability over there also decreased rapidly, as if the speed dropped from 100 megabits to 10kb;
However, although the other party's search network showed a confused situation, and failed to catch the '10kb' or even the subsequent '100kb' anomaly in the screening, Nesta did not dare to really take the risk to find the critical point, so he failed to explore the limits of the base's capabilities in this regard.
After losing its goal, the exploration of the mental aggregate was still going on, until a few lights had passed, and the overseers who were acting were too tired to do so, and then they were stopped because of the inconsistencies that had to be fruitless.
In the process, they seem to have raised suspicions of 'delusion' and 'new invading technology', and have failed to discover their true target until the end;
However, it seems that in line with the otherworldly version of the concept of 'it is better to believe it than not to believe it', in the next home star month, the defense inside and outside the base has become extremely tight, and many researchers have begun to mumble 'inconvenient' and other complaints, and are received by the nested pipeline of the Nesta molecular grid
Subsequent operations were suspended for a long time, until the base reversed many measures due to complaints from employees and merchants, and the new Nestas emerged from the various lurkers;
Under the new situation, he plans to change some targets for infiltration, such as outsiders who are not part of the base, because they are not closely monitored.
So, still using the previous virus-like transfer method, after going through the span of researchers, security guards, ordinary employees, etc., he found an opportunity to leave the gestational egg cabin area, and followed a vacation host to the upper level of the city area.
Maybe the city that belongs to the criminal group can't be represented, and maybe the way of sharing the sensory experience of the host is a little weird, but this is indeed the first time that Nesta has seen Starship City in person;
Its area is not large, but the gorgeous high-rise buildings with a height of thousands of meters create a huge three-dimensional space, providing ample activity places for more than 10 million intelligent lives in it;
In it, the innumerable amount of visible and invisible light converges into neon lights of various shapes, hiding the noise and sin of the place under the somewhat filthy dazzle;
Many 'faceless ones' and 'faceless ones' shuttle through the world with various mentalities, they may be brightly dressed and visible, they may be dark and prominent people with wanted notices, or they may be weak reptiles wandering back and forth in the light and darkness, but here they basically hold the purpose of not being able to appear on the stage, and maintain each other's affairs in the shadows.
Nesta's host at the moment is still a base employee, so he didn't do anything too much, but just maintained a molecular state for a long time to intercept the other party's sensory information as if mechanically, and uploaded frames of pictures and voice signals to the main thread in an intermittent manner, for many Nesta thread minds and other elves to use as a reference.
However, the host's body is still too ordinary for the elf, and the limited sensory range really can't provide too much reliable information, so when the other party passes by with the outsider, Nesta uses the advance to make the wind mist be exhaled and the target that has been locked in advance is inhaled in the next moment, so that it can enter the body of the new host
This is a member of the stolen goods team from the wormhole, and although his own thinking is under the surveillance of the base, he cannot accurately judge due to the particularity of the surveillance;
There is no need for accurate judgment at the base itself, as any attempt to leave the accessible area is a matter of death, and information is not to be revealed from these outsiders
As a result, Nesta's courage has also become much larger, and it quickly penetrates into the body along the opponent's respiratory system, and then climbs along the body fluid circulation to a central area similar to the brain, and then begins a deeper parasitic process;
Invasion of cells, first killing and then deceiving the immune system, analysis of nerve conduction signals, and appearance of mimic cell structure.
With the support of the huge computing power of the total thread, a single Nesta cell that has been freed of hands and feet merges into the host body at a very fast speed, and penetrates deep into its most important center;
Then the life force field is activated, and Nesta intends to play the other party's cell like a dove occupying a magpie's nest to replace this identity, perhaps with a certain degree of freedom of movement in the city?
~~~~~~~~
The action continued, in order to facilitate himself, he specially picked on passers-by with eyes, ears and nose to parasitize, so after analyzing the other party's language and infiltrating its sensory center area, it gradually began to have relatively coherent audio-visual images accepted by Nesta, but unfortunately the number of cells was too small to extract its memories, and it could only transmit some such real-time information.
This carapace-clad head does not know the lingua franca, and has always relied on the real-time translation function of the translator to recognize what he sees and hears along the way, and seems to be looking for a place with a very purpose, and even if he is reluctant to spend money on convenient services, he has successfully arrived in a circle;
About two kilometers from a high-rise building, a storefront in what appeared to be a clubhouse appeared in front of the host, with the words 'amoeba clubhouse' written on it in lingua franca.
'amoeba? I've never heard of a race.'
While Nesta was secretly thinking this, the carapace ghost-like body had already entered it with some trepidation, and saw a large fat green worm only about five meters long at the foreground;
The large green worm crawls on the ground with most of its body, and the other half stands upright and slides hundreds of fleshy feet in two rows of abdomen, and at the same time, with two compound eyes that are erected separately on the 'head', it observes the visitor with the long head of the carapace with an emotion that cannot be judged, and sends a message a moment later;
The host received the lingua franca audio message, but judging from the visual point of view, it did not seem to be directly sent by the big green worm, but due to the limited physical ability, Nesta knew that it was only that.
Anyway, after a moment of smooth communication between the two chickens and ducks, the carapace head carefully took out a small box from his bosom and handed it to the big green worm, while the latter nodded and looked back and disappeared for a moment, until he reappeared with a small whisker and handed it to the head of the long head.
Carrying the number plate that looked a little backward, the long head came to the corresponding room with the parasite in the brain, and when he pushed the door in, he saw a large cocoon about the same height as himself in the middle of the room;
It rubbed its carapace limbs with a carapace with some excitement, while its lower limbs paced back and forth from side to side, until a few moments had passed until a little movement came from within the cocoon;
The cocoon slowly burst open with a 'click' sound, and a pair of pointed three-fingered arms with carapace stretched out from within, followed by a second pair of arms that completely stretched the cocoon shell, and then a similar long head with armor broke through the cocoon and lifted the upper body;
Nesta intercepted the nerve signals of excitement, pretty, nervousness, and stimulation, and the host also turned its head in sync and let out a strange hiss, then stopped its previous constant pace and ran towards it, and upon arrival, it was pulled in a cocoon that had been split in half by the new 'sibling'.
Clearly, this is not a 'spy joint' but an interracial transaction, and they seem to be playing some kind of role-playing game, with the 'siblings' emerging from the cocoon taking on a noble-like role called 'Hiss', and Nesta's host body playing its own role. Strictly speaking, the host body can also be called 'hiss-hiss', at least in the eyes of the next race, and only after the hearing is strong enough can it be separated into more detailed turns.
Their system is integrated into the snout, and the mouth is not only used for chewing and swallowing, but also uses its sensitive mouthparts to complete some unique communication, and has an effect similar to kissing and getting pregnant.
Nesta was amused, but he wasn't bored enough to intercept the other party's pleasure, he just looked at it for a moment and then turned his attention away and became interested in the so-called 'amoeba' beneath him;
He then followed the rubbing mouthparts into the new target's body, and began to explore them while they enjoyed their pleasure
Although the size of the body is too small to make too detailed overall observations, the Nesta cell still judged that it was a highly realistic 'pseudo-carapace long head', and its degree of fidelity rose to the genetic level, and it could even give birth to offspring with the 'true carapace long head' of its own host.
The only thing that is a little different is the more than ten tiny flesh balls located in different positions on its body, only the tissues in these meat balls are completely different biological tissues, maybe it is the original form of this amoeba?
In fact, this mimicry is extremely powerful, but here you can only do this kind of business to live, do you like it or do you have to do it?
This is impossible to judge for the time being, maybe this level of camouflage ability is full of flaws in the Great River System, but in any case, he still intercepted a piece of the genetic code of the other party as much as possible, and then returned to the body of the 'True Carapace Long Head' again;
On the one hand, the two sides are based on the local merchants, and on the other hand, there are foreign stolen goods sellers, and the former is naturally under heavy protection at the level of thinking, and it is easy to stimulate some known or unknown means to increase trouble;
And the latter, although they can't go here or there, they seem to enjoy a minimum of 'freedom to be invaded'?
At least, Nesta has made such a big move so far, but there has been no reaction from the base's side.
