Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Umm? This guy's size looks terrifying."

Lurian raised his head and said blankly, his whisper seemed to be caught by Umu, and the electric light around him became brighter and more restless.

"Umm, he means no harm."

Monomen's whisper made Lurian realize that his words were somewhat inappropriate, and he nodded apologetically to Umu. After Monomon spoke, Umu calmed down in an instant.

"Leave the resident to me."

Monomon took the residents from Lurian's hands, and then called to Umm:

"Call the Omars to come out."

After the words fell, the gelatinous bubbles surrounding the core of Wumu began to ripple, and a strange rhythm was born from it, echoing above the acid pool. After a while, the surface of the acid pool water also rippled with the rhythm. Circles of ripples, Omars rose up from the pool in twos and threes, and stopped around Umu.

"What are you planning to do..."

Lurian looked at Ouma floating in the air, and then recalled that when he entered the archives just now, there were not floating experimental subjects everywhere like the last time. It turned out that they were placed in the acid pool by Monomon.

But what is she going to do?

For the time being, he believed what Monomon said. He was sane and would not attack randomly, but the things around him were not easy to mess with. If he was not careful, the residents might be dead.

Monomen frowned and did not immediately answer Lurian's question.

This experiment is risky, and it is not small. She can hear the worry in Lu Ruien's mouth, but she has also put in her best efforts. With Um's assistance, the risk should be minimized.

It all depends on people, and now she has no other choice but to pin her hopes on this.

"Umu, melt the core of those Ouma."

The Ouma that Monomen was pointing at took the initiative to approach Umu when she finished speaking. At the same time, Monomen's lips were still buzzing.

"Umu, wrap Ouma's shell around this resident. Don't cause any abnormal movement in the core. Remember."

Several tentacles below Umu were swinging, letting their huge bodies approach Monomon. When those Oumas that were already close, when they touched Umu's shell, their shapes gradually flattened, and then they only heard a 'pop' sound. With a sound, the two merged together, and Ouma's core gathered towards Umu's core under the control of the arc, at an extremely slow speed.

Monomen held his breath, not daring to move his eyes away from Umu's body for a moment. You must know that the cores peeled off from Ouma's body are extremely unstable. Once they explode, if they are outside Umu, they will still be there. She could resist it with her tough outer shell, but if it affected her core, she was sure that she would have to put in the effort to create another Umu.

Cold sweat was faintly streaming down Lurian's forehead. Even if Monomen didn't reply to him, he could still tell how thrilling the process in front of him was.

The orange core slowly merged into one, and after a few breaths, the rhythm of the agitation became coordinated. Only then did the two of them relax.

"Succeeded...?"

"No, there's still one step left."

Monomen took a long breath. The most dangerous stage was over. Now it was time to see if his idea was effective.

She looked at the lonely resident lying on the ground, suddenly clapped her hands, turned to look at Lurian and said: "It's not enough, you have to find another one like this."

A resident could not verify his suspicion, Monomon only remembered it now.

Lurian didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ran out after hearing this.

Don't talk about finding another one, it's no problem to find a bunch of them.

On the other side, Umu controlled other idle Ouma, lifted up the resident lying on the ground, brought it to him, and wrapped the Ouma body that had just been peeled off around his body, and the electric light bubbled The place connected to Umu flickered, separating the two.

Monomen saw that the residents sent by the Omars still had vital signs, and his hanging heart finally calmed down.

Just like people of the same race will not hurt each other, Uma and Oma will never take the initiative to attack each other. If the infected residents are used as the core and then wrapped in bubbles, the reaction between them will be the same. Just like Uma Oma.

Hope my guess is right.

Lurian did not keep Monomon waiting. The canyon was not far from the crossroads. Just in case, he directly brought three or four residents who had fainted. There were still a lot of Ouma bodies collected by Umu, so Wrapping all these residents is not a big deal.

"Is this really okay?"

Lurian's eyes were filled with doubts. If anyone else had said that a bubble could solve this symptom, he would have kicked them out long ago. But the person standing in front of him was a teacher after all. In terms of knowledge, he was better than himself. Nothing less.

"I'll do my best to obey fate. I've done everything I can. If it doesn't work, I don't dare to guarantee it."

The two of them just stood next to the residents, waiting for them to wake up.

"uh-huh......"

The residents who had suffered a heavy blow and fainted still felt the pain when they woke up, and they subconsciously let out a muffled sound, which revived the two people who had been waiting for a long time and stared at them.

Lurian's clenched fists under his cloak were sweaty, and if this failed again, he might really have to give up.

Fortunately, God seemed to have noticed all the efforts of this devoted minister. When the swaying residents stood up and opened their orange-glow eyes, they did not immediately turn to him. The other residents launched an attack, but seemed not to see them. They ignored them and turned directly to Monomon and Lurian.

What happened in the next moment could be said to be what Lurian wanted to see but didn't want to see.

When the two figures came into view, they rushed towards them in unison, baring their teeth and claws. Bubble failed to suppress their aggression, but established a special society among the infected residents. Attributes.

Monomon succeeded.

As she imagined, those residents regarded other infected residents as 'same kind' and no longer vented their aggression on other residents. In this way, the impact of the disease could be absorbed. Reduction to a large extent, at least there is no longer a need for a large number of sentries to maintain order.

The sounds of falling to the ground were heard one after another. Lurian shook his hand, looked back at Monomen, and saluted solemnly.

"Thank you very much, teacher, for sparing no effort to bring peace of mind to Hallownest."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

The latter sentence does not mean anything else. The success of the experiment is good news, but it also means that in the coming days, the teacher archives may be breached.
