Chapter 55: Xenomorph: Capricorn 2
Although Yan Luge would not fully believe the answer of a pollutant and a different species, it did not prevent him from continuing to ask, "Paine is your master?" Do you remember the past? ”
"......" the shepherd flute was silent again.
Yanlu continued to ask: "How long ago did you say this, how long ago?"
"I don't think you know the time...... I will tell you a few names, do you recognize them?
"Honeysain? Mangula Nishize? Emperor Xuantian? Shirahime? The Dragon of Canaan? ……”
The names mentioned by Yan Luge are all famous figures in history, either the emperor of a certain empire or a celebrity of a certain era.
But the shepherd never spoke again.
It was as if it was silently mocking the song of speech.
It was willing to answer some of the questions about Paine, simply because the name Paine had a special meaning to it.
“…… Syzhinx? Apollo? Dionysus? ……”
The song concludes by naming several contemporaries of Paine's origins in unified myths and legends.
It wasn't until he heard these names that he reacted slightly.
But instead of answering the words of the song, it pieced together a sentence with oddly sharp notes: "No, meaning." ”
"No point?"
"They, we, you, all the resistance, there is no point. Only the gods are eternal. ”
It has intelligence and seems to be able to talk rationally, but that is only its disguise, but in its essence, it is still an alien, an existence eroded by polluting forces.
It is crazy and chaotic, like a god.
If given the opportunity, it will still do whatever it takes to pollute and kill countless lives in order to promote the "mythical rituals" of the gods.
Yan Luge's gaze gradually cooled.
The silver-white flame burned again in the palm of his hand.
The xenomorph flute trembled and screamed in his palm, but it did not speak again until it was completely melted.
Yan Luge never stopped—he never thought of letting go of the culprit who had killed thousands of people in the first place.
"I was going to throw you into the lab, but after thinking about it, the existence of xenos is too dangerous at this stage, so you might as well die."
When the whole flute was burned out, a ball of light appeared in the singer, a translucent light, which at first glance looked beautiful, like the fluorescence of fireflies.
But if you look closely, you will find that this fluorescence is only the surface layer, and the inner layer is a rolling dirty black fog, like tumbling silt, bottomless.
The moment Yan Luge grasped it, he figured out what it was.
This is a "Capricorn" mark.
"Xenomorphs" are a special kind of contaminant that somehow breaks free from the fate of fanatics, but is endowed with another irreversible instinct - to complete "mythological rituals" and be promoted to godhood.
In the course of the "Mythical Ritual", the sigil will gradually be born in the Xenomorph's body, and it will be gradually replenished as the "Mythical Ritual" progresses.
Luckily, xenos can be killed.
And when the unfinished god, the xeno, is killed and destroyed, what is left behind is its most original thing, the imprint.
Yan Luge looked at this thing.
The gods and the xenomorphs themselves are a combination of the "sacred" and the "unclean", and the sigil is the most essential condensation of this characteristic. If anyone gets it, that person will be polluted in an instant, and then become the closest creature to the deity - the xenomorph "Capricorn".
Faced with this xenomorph mark, he now had three options.
First, banish it.
Second, mothball.
Third, devour it.
The first method was skipped, because he could not be banished into the Endless Void without awakening the "spatial perception" as before.
The second requires the use of a large amount of spiritual power, and there is a risk of getting "Capricorn" out of trouble if you are not careful, but it is also the most suitable way at this stage.
And the third one sounds crazy, you know, the power level of the xenomorph mark itself is higher than the spiritual power, and the "life mimicry" may not be able to deal with it, but will only make him polluted and change into a new "Capricorn".
Yan Luge hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly lost his smile: "I've always wanted to try if I can devour the mimic and become a god...... What's there to hesitate about? ”
He first injected a large amount of spiritual power potion into his body, and then swallowed it violently.
Intense pain struck.
Yan Luge couldn't support it, and fell to his knees, twitching violently, but he didn't make any sound, just gritted his teeth in silence.
Contaminate.
Mutations.
Crazy.
The spirit is twisting.
The flesh is distorted.
His bones and muscles were changing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and filthy and rotting hairs and fish scales grew on his body, but just as he was about to be completely contaminated, a silver-white spiritual flame suddenly ignited on his body, burning his whole body. In the burning of more and more intense pain, he slowly changed back to his human form.
I don't know how much time passed, the physical and mental pollution and mutation finally stopped, and Yan Luge opened his eyes and showed a smile.
His "life mimicry" initially devoured the mark, with a resolution of 1%.
The polluting power in it has not disappeared, but it has been suppressed deep in the depths of consciousness, and it may come back at any time and place.
He didn't care, though.
If he can suppress it once, he can suppress it a second time.
He has initially devoured the sigil and is attempting to parse it with the ability of "life mimicry".
The process is complicated, but the day he finishes parsing, he can mimic a "Capricorn".
A rational, normal, false xenomorph.
Even gods.

……
Today is also a beautiful and peaceful day.
Director Yan expressed his satisfaction with everyone's serious work attitude.
After a busy day's work, Yanluge yawned and walked away.
……
Like Yan Luge, Zheng Qingming of Tianzhou No. 101 Command also felt that he was very busy.
His "cargo" arrived.
The pollutants are okay, although these things are still so ugly, distorted, and weird, but Zheng Qingming has seen too many samples in the laboratory for a while, and knows that as long as he pays attention to the containment method, some seemingly dangerous things are actually controllable, so he will not be too surprised.
But the spiritual power potion worth 2 million yuan really surprised him.
The two spiritual potions were contained in a transparent glass tube, which looked like liquid, and shook slightly, it seemed to be liquid, but this liquid had no mass, and no matter how advanced the instrument was, it showed that they did not exist.
So much so that the scientists involved in the test shouted that this subverted their worldview, which is not scientific.
What to shout?
After entering Command No. 101, there are still many unscientific things to study in the future.
Zheng Qingming complained silently.
