Chapter 154: Crab Slave

Su Ze, who is determined to be a "hexagonal warrior", has always been very weak in terms of mental power.

His spiritual power is at the level of the ordinary cocoon breaking period, and he is not stronger than others.

It's just that at this stage, it is difficult for him to encounter an enemy who has mastered the ability of spiritual attack.

Alien beasts below the third order, there are only a few who master spiritual attack skills, such as the "Head of the Wailer" that Su Ze once had, which is from the extremely rare second-order alien beast Wailing Demon.

And evolutionaries who are good at mental attacks are generally formed at least in the butterfly transformation stage.

And there is a saying that the later the spiritual evolutionary is formed, the stronger the strength.

Spiritual evolutionaries are often transitioned from evolutionary researchers, such as Liu Wenyin, who absorbs many skills that assist in research, such as "super-capacity brain", "fast memory", "evolutionary pupil", etc., which themselves will also increase the mental power of evolutionaries.

It can be said that she has been accumulating mental power.

When she evolves to the holy level and absorbs a spiritual attack skill, she will be directly formed.

The later it is formed, the stronger the accumulated spiritual power, and the stronger it will be.

Therefore, Su Ze knew that he would definitely encounter an enemy of the spirit system in the future, so he had always had the idea of absorbing a spiritual defense skill.

However, now this Wen Si Fruit can directly improve spiritual power, which is also a good choice, as long as the spiritual power is strong enough, the stronger the resistance to spiritual attacks.

Even more peculiar to the use of the fruit than the rootless silk seed is that it is not taken orally, but is ignited directly and then inhaled into the body.

In order to prevent the "smoke" from running outside, which would lead to the loss of Wen Siguo's medicinal effect, Su Ze closed all the doors and windows of the bedroom before lighting Wen Siguo.

Then, he took out a lighter and lit Wen Siguo's "spire".

A wisp of green smoke rises.

Su Ze hurriedly leaned over and inhaled hard with his nose, and the wisp of smoke was suddenly inhaled into his body.

It turned out that Su Ze's previous behavior of closing the doors and windows was really too much.

When he inhaled a wisp of green smoke, the rest of the smoke continued to burrow into his nose along the same line.

This green smoke is like Luo Fanguo's aloe vera juice, which belongs to the kind that once it enters his mouth, he keeps biting, even if he controls his nose and doesn't breathe now, these smoke will not break.

After smoking for a while, Su Ze felt that he suddenly quieted down, as if he had comprehended some kind of Zen, his body calmed down, his heart also calmed down, and he entered an ethereal state.

just swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog so quietly, and I don't know how long it took, until Wen Siguo burned out and became a pile of slag, Su Ze withdrew from that ethereal state.

Deaf and clear-sighted, refreshed.

This is how Su Ze feels now.

He closed his eyes and sensed it, and he could indeed feel the growth of his spiritual power, although it was still not as good as a researcher like Liu Wenyin of the same level, but it was definitely better than other cocoon-breaking stage evolutionists.

"That's right, if I can have a little more of this treasure and continue to raise my mental power, I won't need mental defense skills."

said so, but Su Ze also knew that this kind of treasure was precious, and repeated use would also produce resistance, and the effect would get worse and worse until it completely failed.

Before going to bed, Su Ze contacted Senior Sister Ye Jin, told her that he had returned from Lin Huaguo, and asked her how things were going over there and when she would come to Dongli University.

Senior Sister Ye Jin still replied to the message in seconds.

[Ye Hibiscus: I may have to wait for a while to pass, the case I told you before, the murderer has not been caught, and my grandmother has had a headache recently because of this. 】

[Su Ze: Haven't caught it yet? Any progress? 】

Su Ze was also very surprised when he heard this, the saint-level overlord personally stepped out, and it had been half a month, and he hadn't caught the murderer.

There's something about this murderer, too.

[Ye Jin: The murderer has committed many follow-up crimes, you look at the recent homicides and disappearances, many of them were done by him, judging from the trajectory of the crime route, he seems to have no clear destination, there is no regular route, and he randomly commits crimes in various cities across the country. 】

[Su Ze: Then how can you be sure that it was the same person?] 】

[Ye Hibiscus: Because at the scene of every disappearance, the body of the previous missing victim is found. 】

[Su Ze: !! 】

[Su Ze: He can't run around the country with the victim's body, right? 】

[Ye Jin: So, we guess that the murderer has mastered the "parasitic" skills, parasitizes the victim's body, controls the victim's body movements, commits crimes, and after finding the next parasitic target, he will abandon the original victim's body and parasitize into the new target's body. 】

Su Ze shuddered when he heard it.

Parasitic skills, he'd heard of, but hadn't seen them.

There are so many kinds of parasites in this world, and although it is very difficult for these animals to evolve, some of them have evolved into alien beasts.

However, not every parasite that evolves into a foreign beast can still retain the "parasitic" ability, and the "parasitic" ability that can appear in the extract for human absorption is even rarer.

In short, this is a very scary, very weird, very evil skill.

Basically, if the authorities know that someone has mastered parasitic skills, even if they have no criminal record, they will register them and confirm his/her whereabouts from time to time.

[Su Ze: Can you now determine whether the murderer is an evolutionary who has mastered parasitic skills, or a parasite-like beast?] 】

[Ye Hibiscus: It's not certain yet, but we've found some patterns based on all the victims' information. 】

[Ye Hibiscus: First of all, the victims are all male, and secondly, all are evolutionaries, and then, the strength of these victims is gradually increasing according to the order of killing, which means that the murderers are constantly parasitic more powerful male evolutionaries. 】

[Su Ze: I'll ask my sister tomorrow to see if she can think of any valuable clues based on this information. 】

[Ye Jin: Okay, thank you, junior, how about this trip to Lin Huaguo? What's the catch? 】

As always, Hibiscus will not end the chat, and will start a new topic.

[Su Ze: Don't mention it, I'm almost tired back and forth, I recognize the bed again, I haven't slept well in the past few days, and now I can't open my eyes, and I'm going to sleep. 】

Su Ze successfully ended the chat with Ye Hibiscus with "Sleep Escape", and closed the chat interface after saying goodnight to each other.

Immediately, he turned on his mobile phone and searched for recent homicides and disappearances, and found that there were indeed quite a few.

In the country of Dongli, where the law and order are quite good, this is abnormal enough.

Su Ze looked over one by one and found that, as Ye Jin said, these victims had nothing to do with each other, and even the places where they lived were everywhere.

The strength of the victims is indeed stronger than the other, and the latest missing victim is already in the initial butterfly stage!

Even the butterfly stage was poisoned, so what strength does the murderer have?

Su Ze sensed the seriousness of this matter and decided to chat with Liu Wenyin tomorrow.

……

The next day, Su Ze followed Liu Wenyin to the laboratory early in the morning.

On the way, Su Ze chatted with Liu Wenyin about the recent missing murder case and talked about the "parasitic" skill.

Su Ze started with the disappearance of two soldiers in the naval base at the beginning, and then moved on to the owner of the Evolution Shop......

One by one, until the recently disappeared butterfly stage.

By the time he had finished, the two had already walked to the lab.

Liu Wenyin listened carefully, and said, "It sounds like the murderer has indeed mastered parasitic skills. ”

Su Ze said: "Why are all the victims male, is there any parasitic skill that is only effective for men?" ”

Liu Wenyin sat on the chair in the laboratory, thought for a moment, and said, "There are currently known parasitic skills that can be mastered by human evolutionaries, and there is nothing that matches it, but ...... Listening to your description, I think of an animal. ”

"Animals?" Su Ze noticed that Liu Wenyin's words were not alien beasts, but animals, indicating that this kind of animal had no precedent for evolving into alien beasts.

"To be precise, it's a parasite, called 'crab slave', I don't know if you've heard of it." Liu Wenyin said, took out a cup of milk tea, plugged in the straw and took a sip, revealing a satisfied look.

This was just bought for her by Su Ze in the morning, because Su Ze promised to invite her to drink milk tea for a month.

Su Ze shook his head, he had never heard of any crab slave.

Liu Wenyin gave him popular science: "Crab slaves are actually a kind of barnacles in the sea, in which female crab slaves have parasitic ability, they will parasitize on crabs, especially male crabs."

"The parasitic crab will lose its sense of self and be completely manipulated by the crab slave to become a puppet, and most of the nutrients in the crab's body are absorbed by the crab slave, leaving only a small amount to maintain the crab's life.

"What's even weirder is that the crab slave will affect the hormone secretion of the male crab, so that the male crab's physical signs will change towards the female crab, the claws will become smaller, and the abdomen will gradually stretch and flatten, looking the same as the female crab."

Su Ze was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Isn't this just transgender?" ”

Liu Wenyin said: "It can be understood in this way, but the parasitic crab has lost its ability to reproduce. ”

"Got it, it's like a man who goes to Thailand and looks like a woman, but he doesn't have children." Su Ze was stunned.

"Thailand? Where is that? Liu Wenyin didn't understand what Su Ze was saying.

"Oh, nothing." Su Ze perfunctorily said, "So what are the crab slaves doing to let these male crabs change sex?" ”

Liu Wenyin said: "These male crabs become female crabs, which will attract other male crabs to mate with them, and some crab slaves will also complete parasitism again in the process. ”

Su Ze shuddered a little, this thing is really perverted.

"Wait, sister, you don't think that murderer has mastered the parasitic skills of the crab slave, do you?"

Liu Wenyin shook her head: "Listening to your description, it is very similar to the crab slave, but so far I haven't heard of a crab slave evolving into a strange beast, so it's just my guess, and it's unlikely." ”

But Su Ze suddenly thought of the coral island that appeared before.

Fourth-order polyps appeared on that coral island.

"You said before that the possibility of the polyp evolving into the fourth order is also very small, but it appeared some time ago, and you all think that it is the influence of some external factor that makes the polyp evolve, and the time when this parasitic murderer committed the first crime was a few days after the siege of Coral Island......"

Liu Wenyin understood the meaning of Su Ze's words, frowned unconsciously, and said, "Do you think that it is possible that the crab slave was also affected by the same external factors and evolved into a foreign beast?" ”

"Is this possible?" Su Ze asked, "After all, the two events happened next to each other, and the place where the parasitic murderer committed the crime for the first time was at the Lihai City Naval Base, which is too much of a coincidence." ”

Liu Wenyin thought about it for a while, and also admitted that there was such a possibility, she said: "If this is the case, it means that there is some kind of 'adventure' in the ocean, which has promoted the evolution of marine beasts, and made some animals and beasts that were originally unlikely to evolve evolve one after another, which is terrifying."

"Some creatures are actually very powerful, but because of nature's constraints, they have all kinds of flaws, such as very small size, short lifespan, etc., the probability of this kind of creature evolving into alien beasts is often very low, but if it really evolves successfully and makes up for its own flaws, it will be unimaginably strong."

Su Ze thought about it, and it was true, if nothing else, just say that this crab slave, if it really evolved into a foreign beast and could parasitize on humans, it would already be quite a terrifying thing.

If this parasitic skill is still acquired by a human evolutionary with bad intentions, it will make people's scalps tingle.

Su Ze analyzed: "If the murderer really has the parasitic ability of the crab slave, then there are two possibilities, one is that the crab slave alien beast parasitized the naval soldier to commit crimes, and the other is that the human evolutionary absorbed the parasitic ability of the crab slave. ”

Liu Wenyin said: "If the former is better, if the latter, it will only be more tricky." ”

Humans are always more difficult to deal with than alien beasts.

Next, based on the characteristics of the parasitic ability of ordinary crab slaves, the two speculated about the characteristics that parasitic skills might have if crab slaves evolved into alien beasts.

1. Only female crab slaves master the parasitic skill, and when it is changed to humans, it is boldly speculated that either only female evolutionaries can master this skill, or male evolutionaries will become female after mastering this skill;

2. If parasitic on a male organism, it will change its sex;

3. It will absorb the energy in the host and strengthen itself;

4. If it is a mutant crab slave, after changing the host sex, it will attract other males to mate, and use it to achieve the purpose of parasitism again, if it is a human evolutionary...... Whether or not you will do this depends on personal preference.

Su Ze wrote down these points and prepared to go back in the evening and send them to Senior Sister Ye Jin.

He only dared to chat with Ye Hibiscus at night.

After chatting about this topic, Liu Wenyin just finished drinking a cup of milk tea, she stood up, looked at Su Ze's chest, and said, "Take off your clothes, it's time to get into today's topic." ”

Su Ze instantly felt like a guinea pig to be dissected.

However, he still obediently followed Liu Wenyin into the sterile room, took off his shirt, and lay on the operating table.
