“...... It's disgusting. ”

Destroying a large octopus with no magical powers, but just a large size and strong acid with physical properties, is not a difficult task for Rin, even Miss Hyogo Kita, who is now extremely lacking in energy, it is not difficult to do it if she is more cautious.

However, the existence of this monster itself is quite disgusting...... When Lynn severed its limbs, the green acid-eroded blood that splattered out was disgusting enough, and the pouches on its body that were used to store food made Lynn sick even more - after cutting open the bulging sacs a second time and seeing the undigested food inside, Lynn decisively took the approach of total annihilation.

It just so happened that on this cruise ship, the souls of the dead who had been killed and eaten alive were still wandering, and they had not yet dissipated, so Lin simply mobilized these souls and gave them a certain ability to take revenge - when they were alive, these humans could only sit in horror in the face of monsters that could not be explained by common sense, but now they are all dead...... In the remaining feelings, the fear is gone, and all that remains is a deep hatred for the murderer.

The beasts need to eat constantly to maintain their physiological activities, and the souls of the dead called by Lin also need to devour the flesh and blood of living creatures to prolong their time in the yang world - the same situation, but the position of the characters is different.

"Although he has grown so big, his intelligence is so low, this guy ......"

Miss Hyogo Kita was very puzzled - Ming Minglin's strength was much stronger than it, but why did this big octopus not run away, but took the initiative to attack them? Although it looked very scary, its intelligence was really not flattering. Is it because there have been no natural predators all along, so why are you so stupid?

"Because it's not a naturally occurring life...... This structure. It should be catalyzed by external forces, mutation. Even if it's evolution. But as long as there is still a rational life, it will not choose this self-defeating evolutionary direction. ”

The first priority of biological evolution is always how to live better and more efficiently, and to pass it on, rather than to specialize in the direction of battle. For example, this big octopus that attacked the cruise ship, with its size, has quite strict requirements for the amount of food it eats - in order to meet the energy of this big guy's daily activities, the amount of food it needs to eat will cause a devastating blow to the ecological balance of its living environment.

When the environment in which they live deteriorates. It will choose to relocate, and the next thing is to destroy the ecological balance of the next location. In the long run, this guy is destroying the living environment of the creatures around him, and at the same time, he is also deteriorating his own living environment. At least, under this premise, the extreme scarcity of food is a great challenge for the population to reproduce.

Moreover, if this monster is a population, there is fierce competition between individuals. It's also a big problem...... Such a population is great for a while, but in the end, it will be strangled to death by itself.

"It's because of that guy's influence. And the creatures that have changed?"

"I think so. I can't feel the will to survive in this monster, it's lost its rationality, it's all hunting with its natural instincts...... No. Killing, perhaps. I can feel it, this guy. There is an instinctive frenzy for killing other creatures. ”

――The monster that Miss Hyogo Kita said. Indeed, we are moving in this direction.

"I'll go look for this guy's traces, you can go back and explain the situation to Mochi first...... Your strength is weak now, so don't risk it. ”

"Even if you don't tell me, I know...... Are you worried that more creatures will be corrupted and mutated by this strange power along the way?"

If the enemy only has a monster born from necromancy and abomination, Lin still has some confidence, but the current situation is that the other party has the ability to alienate and mutate ordinary creatures. Although Lynn didn't know why humans would go berserk and die when they stepped on each other's side, creatures like octopuses could still survive, just mutated...... But since the first precedent exists, there must be other monsters that have mutated after that.

The current Miss Hyogo Kita is struggling to even maintain a long-distance flight, and Rin is not confident that she can protect this "oil bottle" today.

"It doesn't matter if I'm 'dead'......"

"But the next 'you' may not be like this - you yourself know it, right? You are just a 'spokesperson' elected by the vast number of negative thoughts, and you have finally awakened the idea of freedom, and if you die, you will have to start again, and the next one will you have the same thoughts as you are now? Although I don't like you as a guy, but if I have to distinguish between high and low, I still tend to favor the current 'you'. ”

Whether it is Lin or Miss Hyogo Kita, they are also very aware of the fact - this time Miss Hyogo Kita came up with the idea of breaking away from the negative mind control, and it seems that it has succeeded so far, but if she is killed, when she is "reborn" again, she can guess with her toes that she will definitely be bound in her soul consciousness. Prisoners who have already escaped from prison once, after being captured, will never be treated as leniently as before.

"Between me and you, and Mochi, there is quite a festival...... If you do that, you're sure Miss Mochi won't have any ideas, right?"

"She, she'll be happy and proud of me for doing this, that's all~"

“...... It's incomprehensible. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, what you have in the future is time to understand slowly. ”

==================

Meanwhile.

The South Pacific Ocean, near the waters of Australia.

"Heavenly ...... Why did the sky suddenly get dark?"

Countless tourists who enjoyed the sun on the beach were shocked to find that the sky that had been clear had disappeared from the sun in just a few minutes. However, when I looked up, the sky was still blue with no clouds to be seen—except for the warm sun, which seemed to disappear in an instant. The coolly dressed tourists present all felt the coldness of the sea breeze.

Soon. Something even weirder happened.

"What are these...... Fish!?a lot of fish...... No, these fish are all dead!"

In the beginning. There were only a few marine fish that floated to the surface with their bellies, but after a few minutes passed, more and more fish carcasses surfaced, and soon the attitude of tourists changed from surprise to fear.

――The mysterious death of a large number of fish means that something dangerous is approaching under the sea?

However. The chaotic crowd did not remember at this moment that this offshore water is also a resort for many diving enthusiasts. Australia's coastal waters are famous for their coral reefs, which attract divers to the sea all year round...... But now, with the death and resurfacing of a large number of marine fish, none of these divers seem to have .......

"What's that! No. Oh no, it's a shark! And more than one!"

The most famous killers of the sea, their iconic symbol, the triangular dorsal fin, pierces the surface of the sea and strikes the tourists inshore. The whole beach was agitated. There seemed to be more than one shark on the attack, when these brutal killers rushed towards them. The liver and gallbladder of tourists seem to be frightened.

But sharks pass straight through the people. Except for a few unlucky ghosts who didn't know how to avoid and knocked the shark to the ground and fainted. But no one was killed. And these sharks, ignoring the food that came to their mouths, swam straight towards the shore without the slightest sign of slowing down.

If this continues, they will inevitably wash up on the beach, run aground on it, and never return to the water. However, the sharks did not change their intention at all in such a suicidal act - or rather, their goal was to swim to the beach, to get away from the water!

If sharks had "expressions", their faces must be full of horror and despair now. Behind them, it was as if something extremely dangerous was chasing them. The sharks would rather even run aground on the beach and die than stay in the ocean behind them for an extra second!

Just when people were shocked by this rare scene of collective suicide of sharks, and felt that the terrible scene before was just a false alarm, the situation at the scene suddenly changed dramatically.

The sea water suddenly and violently reversed backwards, swept away, and swept away the countless tourists who were still stranded in the sea - and not far away, a terrible whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea, and the turbulent currents swallowed the frightened and wailing tourists into it.

The crowd that had just breathed a sigh of relief was even more frightened this time - the attack of the shark swarm, after all, was still a threat to dangerous creatures, but the current situation was completely beyond people's imagination...... Why is there a big whirlpool just off the coast, why is it so sudden......? Is there still a chance to live?

After a few moments, there was no longer any doubt about the survival of those who had not been swept away from the shores in time.

-- The sea water near the maelstrom...... It has turned red.

Escape!

People no longer care if the beach is still safe at the moment...... In the face of such a strange and evil state of affairs, staying away from this terrifying scene is the highest priority! God knows, in the next second, even the beach will be swept into that terrible whirlpool, and the farther away the better!

......

"That guy is already here. ”

On an uninhabited island off the coast of New Zealand, several people look at the scene as they are relayed in the footage. The strange state of affairs that happened in the coastal areas of Australia is of course blocked from information, but it is not difficult for them to find first-hand information on the scene.

"It's almost certain that guy is coming for us...... Well, it's probably the wrong object of revenge, and it found the Australian side first-hehe, we'll be safe until the Sydney Opera House is demolished. ”

"It was an unexpected and fortunate circumstance indeed...... Those bastards, who had put on that disgusting face before, now it's their turn to have a headache. Not to mention stealing the fruits of our labor, it is also those crazy people who have made the status quo what it is now! Obviously, they just can't wait, and if they want to get a continuation of their lives while they are still alive, and let themselves live, they have to use a bunch of righteous names...... If it weren't for such an overly radical approach, how could this monster have been created!? Now, let's wait together to be devoured by that thing and welcome the indiscriminate 'eternal life'!"

"Well, on the bright side, maybe it won't come to us here......"

"Do you think it's possible? That kind of inhumane action was finally 'approved' by us -- the unjust soul who was unjustly killed and wanted revenge doesn't care if you had a gun pointed at your head when you signed the approval at that time! After killing those people, we can't escape!"

"If we can progress ten times faster in dissecting that stone statue, we might be able to find a way to deal with that guy. But now...... Alas, the statue has been destroyed like that, and the progress of the analysis has stalled - resign yourself to fate. ”

Several old men looked at each other speechlessly, and could only sigh silently.

"I said that even if the conditions were difficult and harsh, I should not seek help from the national government...... Now I understand that for these politicians, the interests of all mankind are completely empty, and they do not care beyond their own countries -- if they cannot have them alone, they would even rather destroy these great inventions that can change mankind!

"When you're old, you don't want to be in secondary 2 anymore...... After the fall of the Tower of Babel, this situation was inevitable. The estrangement between nations and races, and even hatred, cannot be changed by one or two things. No matter how unhappy you are, this is the reality. ”

"More than ten years ago, it was because we succumbed to reality that we are now under house arrest in this kind of place!"

"Or else, shall we now guard your grave and have a tea party?"

“...... Stop arguing, if you really regret the current development, you shouldn't have made such a taken for granted in the first place - without this research and exploration, there would not be what we are now...... But would you like to give up exploring this field from now on?"

“......”

“......”

"Don't you want to, do you? Then stop chattering.+ -- We old immortals have the fate we have now, and we are all self-inflicted! Those who are about to die of great disaster are also self-inflicted!"

"So, what about that monster? The existing weapons and equipment, even nuclear bombs, are useless against it, right? If it is allowed to run wild, it is a matter of time before humanity perishes......

"I can only pray that in Pandora's box, is there any hope that has not been released in the end?" (To be continued......)
