Attack on Mindless Giant

Chapter 171 Looting, for a better split

The power of giants comes from grotesque insects, which is a setting that everyone knows after reading comics.

But Duanmu Hiroshi is different. When he crossed over, the old thief Isayama hadn't drawn the grotesque worm yet.At that time, everyone was looking for the truth about the power of giants from the details of the anime, and everyone was Tiger Lek.

The earth devil is the most widely used term.

So from a theoretical point of view, Duanmu Hong at that time did not know such creatures as grotesque insects.

In fact, it wasn't until Duanmuqiu's arrival that he was told the follow-up plot of the entire anime.

How did Duanmu Hong know about the grotesque bug?
In his own words: "I heard a call, a call from the depths of my soul."

"How to describe it?" Duan Muhong said, "This call is not concrete, and it doesn't even have a sound, but it will give me the urge to do something silently."

"What impulse?" Jiang Luo was completely drawn into his words.

"The urge to devour an intelligent giant."

Jiang Luo remembered the communication with the weird bug before.Indeed, the grotesque worms are originally one, divided into nine, and their bodies tend to be unified, returning to the "beginning".

Thinking back carefully, Jiang Luo found that his subconsciousness of devouring the wisdom giant was getting stronger and stronger.

From the beginning, he devoured Allen to complete the task, and later devoured Arnie to gain abilities. Later, Warhammer and Berthold were to plunder Marley's two strongest combat powers, and finally devoured Jike. , Jiang Luo felt that it was because of that bloodiness, the bloodiness in the subconscious.

Devouring Jik is of little use to him, the only benefit is that it can weaken Marley's strength.

But it was such an impulse that made him devour Jake.

Probably the impulse that Duan Muhong encountered at that time was very similar to this feeling.

The only difference is that under the pressure of the system, Jiang Luo devoured the wisdom giant, while Duanmu Hong restrained this subconsciousness and maintained the body of the Wushuang giant.

"But what is the connection between this impulse and the grotesque bug?" Jiang Luo asked deliberately, he wanted to know how much Duanmu Hong knew about the grotesque worm?
"You don't have to talk to me." Duanmu Hong smiled, "The power of giants comes from grotesque worms. Everyone knows that grotesque worms are the relationship between parasites and hosts to the human body. But no one knows, grotesque worms Not a simple parasite, he can affect the consciousness of the host!"

He talked in fantasy, reminding Jiang Luo of "Parasite", one of the three major gourmet shows in an island country. Once the human body is parasitized, the host will be completely controlled by the parasite. (except for the main character)

Parasites in reality are basically unable to affect the consciousness of the host.

But it is different in the novel, basically all parasites can be affected or even controlled.

Unfortunately, the attacking giant is an exception. The intelligent giants inside all have self-awareness. Even when the grotesque worm appeared in the end and Ymir's history was revealed, there was still no trace of the grotesque worm affecting the host.

That is to say, the setting of the old thief Isayama was originally: the grotesque bug will not affect the host's consciousness at all.

But this is all data on the surface, the fact is: yes.

Jiang Luo didn't realize that the grotesque worm not only had self-awareness, but also a purpose (integrated into the original) until yesterday's "prime" appeared, and it would communicate with the host for its own purpose.

It has not been discovered before. First, no one has gathered so much power of a giant. Second, this kind of influence is too weak, almost negligible.

Then the problem is coming.

"How do you know?" Jiang Luo asked, "You are just an innocent giant, and there are no grotesque bugs on the back of your neck."

Duanmu Hong shook his head: "I can't say what the mechanism is, but at that time, there was always an independent consciousness in my mind, trying to pretend to be my own consciousness, and wanted to be swallowed by me. I didn't understand it at first. Until one day, I dreamed of that independent consciousness, which was a big wriggling bug with many tentacles.

"It wasn't until many years later that Li Tianmin, oh, it was Duanmuqiu who came and told me all the plots of the final season of the manga, that I suddenly realized that this big bug has a name called Weird Worm."

"Then why are you?" Jiang Luo said halfway, then paused.

"Why didn't you choose to listen to it?" Duanmu Hong laughed, "Why should I listen to him? Besides, I didn't even know what the ending was like at that time. I really wanted to experience the ending of the masterpiece, yes How earth-shattering."

Speaking of this, he suddenly spit on the ground: "But at that time, I never thought that the Isayama old thief would come to feed shit!"

He said it very angrily, with a look of hatred on his face, wishing he could send a truckload of blades to the old thief Isayama.

"I agree!" Jiang Luo echoed.

This is the first time the two have come to a consensus.

Duanmu Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "We are all from the same world, so there must be some consensus. I think you must also feel the urge to devour other giants."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Jiang Luo's eyes had already betrayed him.

"This guy has a really good brain, he can guess everything." Jiang Luo thought to himself, "Unfortunately, you never would have guessed that the grotesque worm can speak human language!"

If what Duanmu Hong said was true, then Jiang Luo probably already understood why he had such two completely contradictory actions.

A few years ago, he didn't know the finale of the comic, so he chose to push the comic to continue on the original track.

A few years later, probably due to the arrival of Duanmuqiu, he was told the finale of the story. He was disheartened and determined to change the ending and devour the power of the ancestor giant.

Probably the old thief Isayama would never have imagined that his malice would travel through time and space and backstab a poor man who was no longer in the original world.

At this point in the story, it seems that it has come to an end, and Jiang Luo has already guessed a lot about what happened after that.

"So!" Duanmu Hong said, "Do you know why I told you these things in the middle of a fight?"

Jiang Luo was taken aback for a moment, all he could think of was that Duanmu Hong was delaying for time to recover from the knife in his chest.

Under the sun, with his amazing repairing power, he has basically completed the repair of the backstab. Except for a small amount of white mist and red and swollen skin, he is still talking about the tragedy just now.

It's been a long time, and the summer wind is blowing on the wide suburban plain.

Duanmu Hong, who was leaning on a black gun in one hand, raised his eyebrows at Jiang Luo: "Why?"

"Why?" Jiang Luo asked.

"I want to tell you that you have become the slave of the grotesque bug!"

Jiang Luo: "???"

"I'm a suspicious person by nature." Duanmu Hongdao, "When I realized the existence of the grotesque bug consciousness, I predicted a possibility."

He suddenly pointed at Jiang Luo and said, "It wants to use you or me to unify the power of the nine giants!"

Boom, a flash of lightning struck Jiang Luo's ear.

"He can guess that?" he thought. "He hasn't even seen a grotesque bug, and he can think so far?!"

Even as a personal experiencer, he was shocked when he saw the talking grotesque bug for the first time.

"You have been deceived!" Duanmu Hong raised his voice, "It is deceiving you, help it devour the power of the giant!"

Seeing that Jiang Luo's face was neither sad nor happy, Duanmu Hong continued: "Although I don't know what it is trying to achieve by doing this, I can feel that it is a fellow with me."

Only the like knows the like best.

Who is Duanmu Hong?Suspicious by nature, good at fishing, in order to achieve his goals, he will do whatever it takes.He is best at manipulating the overall situation behind the scenes, using everything as his flag.

If it is said that the grotesque worm was "initially" the same kind as him, it means that it used Jiang Luo as a pawn to achieve its true purpose hidden behind.

So far, Duanmu Hong's guess is completely correct. The grotesque insect did have Jiang Luo with Jiang Luo, and it was affecting him.It is also driving Jiang Luo to devour all the giant's power, and it does have a purpose - to remove the giant's power from this world.

But these are all bright and positive, and the astigmatism is extremely positive. Why does Duanmuhong say it is dark?

"Could it be?" Jiang Luo thought, "That big bug is also lying to me? Does it have another purpose for me to devour the power of the nine giants?"

"You have devoured the power of five giants now!" Duanmu Hong thought, "I don't know what the purpose of that big bug has reached, but, Jiang Luo, stop! You are playing in its favor, continue to make mistakes. If you go down, you will definitely become a sinner in history!"

At this moment, Jiang Luo's heart was in a mess, just like the dwarf tree swaying in the wind, the leaves were rustling, and his mind was a little dazed.

But Duan Muhong saw Jiang Luo's eyes and knew that his words were effective, so he continued to output: "What do you think I encouraged the 145 generation king for? Why did I instigate the power of the seven giants? I let the attacking giants pursue What is freedom for? Think about it, what will it lead to?"

There is no need to answer at all, this series of operations can only achieve one purpose: to completely disperse the power of the giant.

"Once the power of the nine giants is combined, terrible things will happen!" Duan Muhong emphasized, "Wake up quickly! There is still salvation!"

One said that the nine giants gathered in one body will merge into "prime" and lift the curse of this world.

One said that the combination of the nine giants would cause terrible disasters.

Which one is real?

"Since you want to split the power of the giant, why did you send Lena and the others to the island to snatch the power of the ancestor giant?" Jiang Luo found a contradiction.

"Plundering is for better division." Duanmu Hongdao, "I'm afraid that Allen will swallow too many giants and will be bewitched by the grotesque insects, so I want to reclaim the power of the ancestor giants. It just so happens that this is also the end of the world line. the result of."

"It's just that I didn't expect you to come." Duanmu Hong said, "You will completely smash the split situation I have worked so hard to create. Reiner and the others can't do it. I sent the most stable Duanmuqiu, but I didn't expect Duanmuqiu to be defeated by you, so I can only do it myself.

"Jiang Luo, once the devouring is activated, the grotesque worm will continue to grow, and its influence on the host will become stronger and stronger, and in the end it will be unstoppable!" Duanmu Hong said.

In this way, in fact, Duanmu Hong never changed his belief from the beginning to the end. From the beginning to the end, he was constantly struggling to split the power of the giant. This belief runs through the two completely different strategies before and after.

Reasonable and well-founded, Jiang Luo believed it for a while.

"I tried my best to tell you this, hoping that you can understand the importance of the matter."

"But why should I trust you?" Jiang Luo asked.

"Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you the truth." Duanmu Hong said, "I have always been adhering to the principle that if you can fight, you can't speak, but you are too strong, beyond my expectation, I can only do this."

These few words were flattering Jiang Luo in a disguised form.

"But!" Jiang Luo said, "I still prefer to believe in myself!"

Duanmu Hong is too insidious and cunning, not only with force against the sky, but also with foresight. As he himself said, everything he does is for his purpose.

"Abandon all appearances and find the essence!" Jiang Luo thought to himself, "I assume the purpose of his talking so much is to eat me! What will happen then?"

This is exactly where he is suspicious.

Is it just to restore his physical strength?But even if he regained his strength, what could he do?Can he beat Jiang Luo with his own strength?
Or was it to hold him back so that Jia Bi had enough time to escape?

As long as Jiang Luo is fine, Historia's crystal will not be broken, and she will be safe. Even if there is an unknown chariot giant, this fact cannot be changed.What's more, if Levi went, even if Che Li and the armored giant teamed up, he would not be his opponent alone.

This doesn't make sense either.

But if it wasn't for these, Jiang Luo couldn't think of other purposes.

"There must be something else I haven't thought of!" Jiang Luo looked around.

The surrounding area is empty, with only a few small trees here and there, and there is no obvious place to hide.

On the ground, there was nothing but corpses one after another.

"Histria's crystal can't be broken, he still has to make a decision from me in the end, but how will he fight?"

Have no idea.

"If you can't figure it out, hurry up and take Duanmu Hong down!" He thought to himself, and shouted, "Duanmu Hong, I'll believe you if you sacrifice yourself!"

"Fool!" Duanmu Hong cursed.

"Hey~" Seeing him jumping into a rage, Jiang Luo was even more sure of his plot. He raised his long sword and shouted loudly, "It's over!"

In an instant, the long sword in his hand glowed white, and the torch rose slowly again.

He held it high above his head, as if he was holding the world's most powerful magic weapon of heaven and earth.

Duanmu Hong's expression changed, and he shouted that something was wrong.

The light was too bright, and hell turned into day again. Unfortunately, Jiang Luo was blinded by the sacred light, and did not see a pair of Asura eyes opened in hell.

Among the corpses all over the place, one suddenly opened its eyes.

If you distinguish carefully, you can see that face is actually the long-lost Chairman Alan Ai.
