Xu Lin continued to scroll through the diary:

[Spark Calendar 40423 December 14]

…… Xiao Kun and Susan's child was also born.

What I didn't expect was that a 'straight man of steel' like Lao Ma would eventually come to fruition with Aveline.

And my two children are both eight years old this year, so time flies so fast.

[Spark Calendar 40423 December 17]

…… My two children are married and have children, and I have changed from a father to a grandfather.

I looked at my hands, the wrinkles of aging, the faded colors.

Take out the photos when I was young, I used to be so young, but I was sad, I had all kinds of worries, and I have never been happier than I am now.

My wife, "Xiaolan", also grew old with me, as if it was just an instant, and it became so far away.

[Spark Calendar 40423 December 20]

…… Unfortunate news, the old horse has passed away.

I told him not to indulge in alcohol, but he never listened.

Once he was drunk and drunk, shouting something: "I can't tell the difference, I can't tell the truth, what is true and what is false!" ”

To this day, he once again played drunken madness and hit his head...... Aveline cried into tears.

When the old horse was dying, the moment I saw him, his eyes suddenly widened and he grabbed my arm.

He also lowered his voice and said something inexplicable to me: "Parasite...... Erosion of the mind...... They! They! ”

The old horse had not finished speaking, and his expression was completely fixed on fear.

He's dead.

[Spark Calendar 40423 December 23]

…… In the past few years, I have been living a dull and happy life.

Sometimes, in my dreams, I dream of the old horse, and I dream of the words he said before he died, and they come to my mind over and over again.

Parasite?

Thinking erosion?

I seem to have some impressions of these two words.

Flipping through my previous diary, I found that I had mentioned this kind of thing in my diary!

But why don't I have any impressions??

Could it be that he is too old and has a memory loss......

No, it's not!

I noticed that only 23 days have passed since I boarded the Flame spacecraft on December 1st!

I'm an obsessive-compulsive person, and it's become a habit to keep a diary every three days, so I date each page in advance.

But the diary never has any blank pages, it is always written in the end!

But in my memory, decades have passed!!

I suddenly sensed an uneasiness......

[Spark Calendar 40423 December 26]

…… I discovered a brutal truth.

I'm probably the damn parasite pretending.

When I told my family about it, they chose to stand with me and withheld the news.

I'm not sure if it's right or wrong to do that.

But Xiaolan said to me: "We are family, no matter who you are, we all love you." ”

It's just that I'm worried about the three bastards, Xiao Kun, Leo, and Applejack!

Of the nearly 1,000 people on duty on the entire Flame, only the three of them have always been at odds with me, and I really want to kill them!

……

This is the end of the diary.

Xu Lin had already predicted the final outcome of "Horn" and the 3,425 "Starfire People".

This parasite, called the "Thought Eroder", is really dangerous enough.

A scientific and technological civilization that can realize outer space travel, tens of billions of people, has been wiped out by this parasite in less than a year.

Not even the Flame spaceship, which escaped from the ancestral planet, was not spared.

"Luckily, this damn parasite is extinct."

"In addition, I just entered the [Lost Spaceship] random room, and I acted fast enough and cautious enough, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Xu Lin closed the diary and put it into the storage bracelet.

Look at the time, the carrot stew with honey sauce should already be ready.

On the way, a few familiar friends greeted Xu Lin with a smile.

"Little Brother Xu, how is the lightning five whip training I taught you?"

This is a middle-aged man in a white practice uniform.

Master Ma.

Once with Xu Lin in the random room of the [Ghost Train Station], he captured a C+-level fierce ghost who secretly attacked and saved Xu Lin's life.

"Hi, Xu Man!"

This is Kunkun, a large more than one meter tall in a bib pants with a mid-range haircut.

It is a new breed of flame-tailed chicken and pot lid chicken crossed at home.

He is also the head of the chicken coop in Xu Lin's house.

"Xu Shen, you still appeared as promised, this is really Thai pants!"

This is a little ghost with the same red hairstyle as 'I Airo', oily hair and pink face.

Once won the competition with Xu Lin in the weird room [Exploding Symphony] with an abstract electric dance water spray performance.

It's just that......

Xu Lin looked at them for a moment.

But there is a hidden message in front of me.

[Name: Thought Eroter]

[Type: Alien Parasite]

[Strength level: not included in the grade]

[Characteristics: (1) Mind manipulation (Parasites can manipulate the host's mind by implanting fake good memories, making the host close to and trusting them.】 These memories are often filled with joy and intimacy, and sometimes, even if very absurd, the host will accept them as real. ）

(2) Identity disguise: Parasites can disguise themselves in any form, including various human or monster appearances. This ability to transform helps them better integrate with their hosts, further eroding their minds.

(3) Emotional manipulation: Parasites can also control the host's emotions, forcibly stimulate the host's feelings of pity, gratitude, shame, etc., and further consolidate the relationship between them and the host. 】

(Tip 1: Thought eroders gradually devour the life force of the host by eroding the emotions and desires of intelligent beings.) ）

(Tip 2: They will reproduce quietly without the host noticing until they have complete control over the host.) ）

(Hint 3: Your home has been invaded by the alien parasite [Mind Eroder]!) ）

(Tip 4: Please find [Mind Eroter: Matrix] as soon as possible. E-Class] to stop it from proliferating in your home! ）

This moment.

Xu Lin's pupils shrank.

This alien parasite was not exterminated?!

Instead, they followed me and infiltrated their homeland?!

No, it's not!

They have never been extinct.

I remember that before entering the random room of [Lost Spaceship], the hidden hint was reminded: In the hidden corner of the spaceship, there are still a few alien parasites surviving, and the strength is E-level.

…… What the hell did I get the idea that they were already extinct?!

…… It seems that after reading the diary, I met Master Ma.

That's it.

Xu Lin paused.

Turn around.

looked at the master Ma who was still in the Lingzhi field and played five consecutive whips with a bad face.

Friends, look patiently, the setting of this alien parasite, I will explain it later, let the bullets fly first for a while.

I can't just write this chapter and release all the settings, then I might as well write a 2,000-word outline and finish it. (Laughing and drinking)

(End of chapter)
