"Wait a minute, I don't understand what you mean."

Xie Yuzhi's slender brows furrowed slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"After I woke up, I couldn't control my body for a while."

"Ah, I have an impression of this!"

Ji Chunzao said that she put it under the table and shook her restless foot and kicked Yan Jingxing's knee, and when he set his eyes on her, he saw the little girl smiling evilly at him.

"I thought Jing Xing didn't know us anymore and didn't want to talk to us."

“…… Uncontrollable? ”

"yes. Well, it's a complicated feeling, and there's another consciousness on the pixel body, which seems to have been left over from the previous host. ”

"You're saying that the body retains the host's ...... Uh, 'soul'? ”

Xie Yuzhi's brows furrowed even deeper.

"No, whether humans have a soul or not is another matter, let's talk about memory. Do you see the memories of the previous host? ”

"Memory...... No, all I could touch was an emotion, such as the fact that I only knew that the previous one was an English-speaking foreigner, and that he was very angry. ”

Yan Jingxing stared at his alienated and swollen arm, recalling how he felt at that time.

"Moreover, this kind of consciousness and emotion itself is also very illusory, more like some kind of 'image' that remains, according to the inertial activity left by the body, but it can't really be controlled. As long as I, as the current controller, want to, I can easily erase this effect. ”

"But there is one change that is permanent. This is what I call 'legacy', which is the special ability that the body has. ”

Yan Jingxing silently recited "lift" in his heart, and the spiral spear that bloomed like a flower withered and returned to the posture of "flower bud", and the heavy white bone armor dissipated, leaving only his arm still bubbling hot, and the t-shirt fabric on his arm was evaporated.

"The method of making and using the spiral gun was not invented by me, nor did it come with the body, but the ability developed by the previous generation of hosts relying on their own experience and instinct."

“…… Is the body like a rough diamond, does it mean that it needs to be carefully carved? ”

"It's more like plasticine, with endless possibilities and freedom, and everyone can develop different skills through intense combat or training."

Hearing this, Xie Yuzhi couldn't help but be a little confused.

"'Everyone'? Why are you so sure? ”

"-Because, I have already perceived, there is more than one host consciousness in the body." Yan Jingxing replied in a deep voice, "Some hosts ...... Not even human. ”

"You mean aliens?"

"I'm afraid so."

Ever since he realized that there were remnants of consciousness from other hosts on top of the body, he had been trying to get answers from it.

As a result, he did touch the second consciousness body, but the other party spoke in an incomprehensible language, and Yan Jingxing instinctively felt that it was not a language that belonged to any country on the earth-

Because it sounds more like the buzzing of mosquitoes, human vocal organs simply can't do it.

……

There was a moment of silence in the room.

What they are more likely to associate with is obviously another thing than their special abilities.

What does it mean that more than one host's consciousness remains?

In the end, it was Ji Chunzao's words that broke the silence:

That is, all those who merge with the body...... Are they all dead now? ”

"You."

Xie Yuzhi couldn't help but shake her head.

"I'm sorry ......"

Ji Chunzao shrank her head, and the liveliness and excitement on her face just now were all gone.

"No, that's what I thought."

Yan Jingxing sighed.

"At present, it seems that the body is an excellent weapon tailored for the alien 'warrior', the ability is powerful and controllable, and there is no limit to the duration of the fusion except that the 'warrior' himself adaptability to superpowers determines the duration of the fusion. But if that's the case, why-"

Why do so many hosts still die?

Is it all because of strong enemies. Like a battle between hegemons?

He felt that it was not surprising that aliens had such a mission, but the problem was that there were earthlings among the dead hosts, which meant that the successive deaths of the body manipulators from beginning to end were not an accident, but some kind of inevitability.

In other words, even if they really all died in the battle with the overlord, it would probably be the fate that Yan Jingxing would have to face in the future.

"Do you have an idea?"

“…… I do have a guess. Remember what I said earlier, there is a huge amount of heat in the body? ”

Yan Jingxing was able to exert his power when he fused with the body for the first time, indicating that it was indeed made as a weapon;

But he could still recall that when the battle was about to end, the huge horror of the surging heat that had accumulated to the extreme, and the whole person was about to burn and immediately self-immolate, was really not impressive.

The power of the body will continue to break through and improve along with the accumulation of heat, there is no upper limit to this process, he can't understand the source of this heat at all, the endless light and heat, it is as if a burning sun is sealed inside the body.

As soon as Yan Jingxing thought of this, he had a feeling: all the previous hosts were probably dying in this kind of "heat" that was unlimitedly raised.

It's like a kind of life that endlessly evolves towards the highest level, and the result is self-destruction.

He couldn't help but think of the special ability of the body: it can make a weapon like a spiral gun in a short period of time, and it also relies on unimaginable self-division and reproduction; And once the cell reaches its limit, the weapon withers.

Perhaps, this kind of high-speed development of burning self is the characteristic of somatic cells.

……

After listening to his story, Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi looked at each other, and they both saw the worry on each other's faces.

"That's really ......"

"Then, why don't you use it in the future?"

The curly-haired girl reached out and tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment.

Now Chunzao has just said that "as long as Jingxing is by our side, no matter where we go, there will be safety" has been put behind her, she raised her face and looked at herself with a gaze that hid her cautious emotions.

The little girl always remembered the alien adventure of a few weeks ago. Because chasing the information and traces of aliens is the driving force of her life, since her parents disappeared, finding the truth has become what she has been doing.

But even so, for the current Ji Chunzao, there is already something more important in this world than all of the above-

"You don't have to worry."

Seeing that the atmosphere was delicate, it was Yan Jingxing who laughed first.

"Heat accumulation is also a process, as long as the fusion is finished before then, or the heat is released, it is nothing more than a time limit for the battle."

"Let's think about the good! More than one of the abilities of the body has been developed, and what I now possess is all the special abilities accumulated by the generations of hosts, and they are all asleep in my body, waiting for me to discover them. ”

“……”

Miss Xie just looked at him silently and didn't speak.

"Maybe there's a cool special move inside! By the way, we can also name each of these abilities, and they're all dead anyway...... Well, that's what I'm calling the Spiral Gun for the time being, and that's what I've called it in my heart. ”

Neither girl meant to speak, and he was the only one trying to liven up the atmosphere. In the end, Yan Jingxing could only sigh and say:

"You're not going to let me use it, are you?"

"No, you're mistaken, Jing Xing. The body is yours, and it's up to you how you want to use it, and no one can force you to make a decision. ”

"Indeed, this is not called coercion...... But if you keep looking at me like that, I still feel embarrassed. ”

"Huh."

Hearing this, Xie Yuzhi's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed, her eyebrows, which had always been tightened, stretched out, and her beautiful face bloomed with a smile.

"That is, you are very susceptible to our influence."

"It's not a matter of course."

"Well, there's only one thing I can answer you."

The girl whispered.

"No one knows what the future holds, no matter what you choose, I will support you. So, just let it go. ”

"I—I'm the same!"

Before Yan Jingxing could react, Ji Chunzao next to him raised his hand.

"I think if we all think the same way, we don't have to worry about going the wrong way...... Rather than the threats that may exist in the future, think about the problems that exist today and need to be solved urgently. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment.

"Of course you're talking about your clothes after you finished transforming."

Miss Xie smiled narrowly and poked the muscles on his arm with the tips of her fingernails.

"When you were unconscious, you were naked all over your body. Seeing the process of your fusion with the body with my own eyes this time, I can be sure that every time the transformation ends, the clothes on your body will be burned off and become smooth, right? ”

"Ah......h

Yan Jingxing suddenly didn't notice this.

This...... What a problem.
