planter of the future

I am you.

What a weird but realistic answer.But An Yi didn't want to buy it.

"Stop playing with words." An Yi sneered, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Fanfan's slender neck: "Now you have left my consciousness, and there is no way to threaten me. It is so easy for me to kill you."

The smile on Fanfan's face disappeared in an instant, and he showed a look of astonishment and horror, as if he had just discovered this fact, he was completely stunned, and his big eyes seemed to be filled with water again.

An Yi: "..."

Wait, why is there a sense of sight?The first time he "cheated" the system, the system responded in the same way, and in the end it kept QAQing.

An Yi suddenly understood - when the system appeared for the first time, it was the little kid in front of him; then the hut rewarded by the system appeared, and the closed room appeared, and the little kid had already started to go into sleep at that time; The No. 1 and No. 2 are probably the same as the little jellyfish that An Yi himself has differentiated now, and they are allusions of his own consciousness.

After thinking about this, An Yi slowly let go of his hand—although No. 1 deserves a beating, he still thinks No. 2 is cute.And if these two are the reflections of the little kid's consciousness, then the little kid really has no hostility towards him.

"Okay, I won't scare you. But..." An Yi stretched out her hand with a smile, pinching Fanfan's chubby face: "I'm also very upset that you have tormented me for so long, so if you dare to play tricks on me again , hehe... Papa will spank your ass, dear."

Fanfan stared, probably not expecting this "stupid human being" to dare to be so rebellious.But when he thought that he was just a fragile soft bun now, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Fanfan pursed his mouth aggrievedly, and his voice was quite weak: "It all starts with Gaia, the puppet you call."

An Yi and Ares looked at each other, both a little surprised - they thought it was caused by An Yunfan's ability, why did it have something to do with the puppet?Isn't the puppet worm in the holy star?That Gaia on Earth is dead.

As if he had understood their thoughts, Fanfan sneered, rolled his eyes unskillfully, and said: "Puppet worms were originally just a kind of parasite, but in fact they are still just parasites now. And their parasitic method is not The kind of parasitism in your cognition, even if there is only one cell or a piece of gene, they are 'parasitic' in your body."

"Let's start with the origin of the puppet worm, the holy star."

"You have also analyzed the puppet worms before, and I was also reminded by that analysis, so I realized that those things before are actually puppet worms. But the facts are somewhat different from that stinky wolf's guess." Fanfan snorted, Secondary Earth dislikes all creatures.

"First of all, it is the parasitism of puppet worms. They can not only parasitize, but also plunder the beneficial genes of the host.

The puppet worm did not appear suddenly at the time of the apocalypse, and its history was even earlier than the orc race.Before the apocalypse, they had experienced long years of parasitism and plundered many genes that were beneficial to them, resulting in a brand-new parasitism method - replica. "

"The so-called replicas, as the name suggests. They can copy the gene chain of the host, and can use it for themselves. The outbreak of the apocalypse is because their race has evolved to a critical stage-their replicas have accumulated too many 'advantages' , so they have to give up and choose a brand-new way of survival. And this "selection" requires a large number of hosts to do the base of genetic screening, and this huge base is humans and beasts.

Therefore, the genes of the so-called "swallowed" puppet insects by humans and orcs are actually useless replicas that they discarded voluntarily.

They did not leave the host voluntarily, but they were rejected by the host's body.In a sense, their bodies that can deform independently are also useless replica parts that need to be discarded.Because compared to their bodies, the bodies of their hosts (orcs) are more perfect.

After the apocalypse, the Sacred Star Continent was divided, and the Middle-earth Continent was also trapped by an enchantment, and the living environment shrank sharply.This made the puppet worms passively choose the direction of evolution. "

"That's spiritual power."

An Yi was dumbfounded: "What do you mean? Can they be the same as planters?"

Fan Fan snorted: "I don't understand, you are really an idiot! It means that the puppets have got rid of the shackles of the flesh-body, and they have become spiritual powers that exist in another dimension. It can perfectly occupy everything of the host.

Therefore, the puppet worms have actually been living in your sight all the time, but you can't see them.Oh no, you've actually seen them already, the stuff in the heads of those amnesiacs, and that slippery snake. "

An Yi was stunned: "You mean, the... that kind of cloud in those people's heads? Snake, you mean Masi?"

"That's called Consciousness Cloud, Mental Body, Soul, choose one at random, don't use such stupid names as 'clouds'." Fanfan cursed with hatred, like an old professor looking at the end of a crane: "As for Talk about that snake later."

Fanfan twisted his buttocks, as if he was hurt by An Yi's legs that had been thinning these days, looked at An Yi awkwardly, and said very queenly: "My butt hurts, give me something to cushion."

The corner of An Yi's mouth twitched, and then he patted Ares' hand.

Ares stood up, picked up the quilt on the ground, rolled it into a soft "throne", and hugged Fanfan on it—this time he put it aside, not on An Yi's lap.

When Ares hugged Fanfan, Fanfan's expression was very unhappy, as if he didn't like Ares very much, but he didn't speak.

After he was seated, Fanfan hummed in satisfaction and continued, "Now that you understand how the puppet worms live, let's talk about the earth."

"Actually, the evolution direction of the Gaia on Earth is the same as that of the Sacred Star's puppets. This is not surprising—firstly, their original replica gene pools are almost the same; secondly, humans and orcs have certain differences. In the end, the earth is much smaller than the holy star, and for Gaia, its living environment is also reduced.”

"So, when humans found Gaia, extracted its genes, and helped him 'parasite' onto humans, it came alive and continued its key selection.

There are billions of human beings similar to the orcs of the holy star, providing a huge screening base.And the similar conditions I said before lead to the same evolutionary direction of Gaia and the Holy Star, both of which are spiritual power.

Of course, because it is not a group, its evolution is relatively slow; at the same time, it has been dormant for many years, and its evolution is also later.So, it's weak.

And this gave us an opportunity. "

"An opportunity to take advantage of?" An Yi was at a loss: "What do you mean?"

At this time, Fanfan suddenly grinned: "Although the existence of consciousness clouds is very convenient, it is difficult for them to reproduce without their bodies. For this kind of parasitic insects, reproduction is a big deal. What's more, the Gaia body on the earth has only It's one.

So the first consciousness cloud has successfully evolved, and it is rooted in the first mission passed down from generation to generation, even to find the carrier.

This carrier is you. "

"You fell into a coma after being besieged by zombies, that is, directly infected by puppet worms. At that time, you were already occupied by the consciousness cloud of puppet worms.

Consciousness cloud is in order to snatch control and perfectly keep you, the host, alive.So it reproduced your brain, and squeezed out, crushed, and destroyed your original consciousness; when your original consciousness was stripped, there was me. "

silent.

An Yi was stunned for a while, then pointed at Fanfan with a strange expression on his face: "Are you... a puppet?"

"It's not all." Fanfan said calmly, seemed to be amused by An Yi's expression, and laughed happily - stupid mortals, always so surprised when facing the truth. (…)

"As I said just now, it is still very weak, and this weakness refers to the consciousness of the consciousness cloud itself.

Unfortunately, your spirit, which is very suitable for it as a carrier, is very strong, and you only want to return to Ares at that time.Your feelings for Ares became a stumbling block to the completion of its reproduction, and at the same time your desire to survive—that is, me—resisted, and in the end I swallowed the puppet worm’s consciousness cloud. "

"But this does not mean that it has disappeared. Although I devoured it, it is very repulsive to the information of 'Aris', and I cannot erase this influence. Therefore, in order not to let the brain become confused and go crazy and die, I just It can split the part that failed to reproduce before, and bury you deep in the cloud of consciousness."

An Yi: "..."

No wonder he had that expression when Ares hugged him just now.

Ares asked: "Speaking of which, you were just desperate for survival at that time, so I have a few questions. First, since you can bury An Yi's consciousness, why didn't you just destroy him? At that time you Without any emotion at all, destroying him is the best choice.

Second, for the same reason as above, when the starship escaped from the earth, why would you sacrifice yourself to open up a way for human beings without emotion? "

Fanfan curled up a naive smile: "Children can be taught~"

An Yi: "..."

"First, I didn't want to destroy him at that time, but I couldn't do it. Because his brain was damaged at that time, our consciousness was connected through the puppet's consciousness cloud. If I destroyed him, I would also will be over.

So I chose to let him sleep and wait for the time to separate. "

"Second, although I didn't have emotions at the beginning—in fact, I'm very raw about emotions now. But I was influenced by him—as I said before, the consciousness of puppet insects is too weak, and I am An Yi His desire to survive, and his desire to survive are mostly because of you, Ares.

So over the years, I was still influenced by him a little bit.Of course, that wasn't enough of a reason for my self-sacrifice either. "

"The reason why I am so selfless and human is because when the starship set off, I felt the call of the puppet."

Ares and An Yi were surprised, and An Yi directly denied: "Impossible! I don't know how far the earth is from the holy star, how could they be connected..."

"Don't try to use human common sense to frame the universe." Fanfan shook his head in disdain: "Naive."

An Yi: "..."

Want to beat the baby.

Ares touched An Yi's arm, looked at Fanfan and asked, "The call of the puppet of the holy star? For what?"

"In the beginning, it was for eating." Fanfan's voice was cold, but there was still a smile on his cute little face, which was a bit weird.

"I sensed the call as soon as the starship left Earth, but I didn't dare answer until the starship was about to fail and I had to make a choice. So I followed the direction of the call and made a way—because I knew that direction could Let humans survive.

The death of my body also freed my consciousness cloud.But at that time, I didn't know whether the consciousness of the puppet of the holy star was strong or not, so I couldn't take the risk, so I had to..."

When Fanfan said this, his face was very strange, and his big eyes glanced at Ares.

An Yi raised her eyebrows, looked at Ares, and Ares also frowned slightly, urging: "What do I have to do?"

Fanfan snorted and muttered, "I have to 'parasitize' for a while."

No need to think about it, he knew who he was parasitizing on.

An Yi's eyes widened: "You are parasitic on Ares, you reproduce him?"

"No, I'm not a puppet." Fanfan rolled his eyes: "It's more parasitic than possessive. His consciousness is very compatible with you, that is, the consciousness of you that I buried. In his consciousness, I can completely hide my tracks and not be found by the puppets of the Holy Star."

This is a very clever way.but……

An Yi said strangely: "You said before that your consciousness will be affected by me who is sleeping; then, the consciousness of Ares, who is not sleeping and is highly integrated with my consciousness, will also affect you? Like being close to us. But why do you still hate him?"

"Nonsense! I hate you, both of you!" Fan Fan frowned.

An Yi was speechless, and turned his head to look at the three little jellyfish on Ares's shoulders holding hands in circles. Although all three were "produced" by An Yi, they were only carriers of consciousness insinuations, and they best reflected the following master's feel.

Look at this happy turn, I don't see any annoying meaning at all.

"Tsundere." Ares explained concisely and to the point.

An Yi suddenly said, "Oh, my son is so cute."

Fanfan was about to cry again.

An Yi stopped teasing him, in fact, An Yi was just an excuse to relax herself-this truth scared him a little.

"Okay, let's continue talking. Since you are possessed by Ares, what's the matter with the Immortal Grass Peak? What's the matter with the inheritance of the An family? Why did you wake me up? What's the matter with your body? And what about the summoning of the puppet worms, and the parasites of those consciousness clouds before?"

Fanfan was taken away from the topic in a second, his wet eyes stopped the tears, and he showed that expression of "stupid mortals listening to my teacher's teachings".

"When I arrived at the holy star, I discovered that although the consciousness clouds of those puppets are many, they are not strong. They cannot parasitize healthy people, not even babies, and can only parasitize dying people.

But every time they successfully parasitize, they can reproduce everything in the host's brain except emotions: knowledge, experience, and so on.This is their new way of evolution, replicating and accumulating the knowledge of the host, so that they become stronger, making them change from a consciousness that only knows how to devour and reproduce to a consciousness cloud with a 'self'. "

"But it's been a long process, and they haven't been successful until recently.

And before that, I found that after I strengthened them a lot, I left Ares' body, devoured their consciousness clouds in turn, reproduced all their knowledge and experience, and then accumulated things became the inheritance of the An family. everything. "

"I discovered barriers, foreign continents, living plants... too many, and my cloud of consciousness can't bear it. And the consciousness cloud of puppet worms is also gradually getting stronger-they are too much in quantity, and the speed of accumulation into qualitative change is faster than I am much faster.

I will be found out.

No way, I can only find the host again.And as luck would have it, you have offspring, the perfect binding vehicle. "

An Yi: "..."

Future generations, I am sorry for you.

"But unfortunately, I found that human brains cannot carry me. Once I invade, their brains will be completely destroyed. As long as I leave, they will die. And their bodies have become my cage instead.

So, I made Grass Jelly Peak. "

"Wait!" An Yi made a pause gesture, hehe said: "Don't jump over so lightly, how is the fairy grass peak made? Space ability?"

"Field." Fanfan smiled triumphantly: "That is a realm that only the most powerful supernatural beings can experience, you~don't~understand~"

An Yi: "..."

At this time, Ares said thoughtfully: "Can it also be understood as murderous aura, spiritual pressure, and momentum? Just like the realization and materialization of the spiritual power of the planter, when the ability of the supernatural being is strong enough To a certain extent, these spiritual pressures will also be visualized and materialized according to the characteristics of the supernatural being?"

Fanfan grumbled reluctantly: "You guessed half right. The condition for opening a domain requires the combined effect of body, supernatural power, and mental power to meet the requirements. You are not yet able.

In short, I opened the Xiancao Peak to store the things that my consciousness cloud carries too much.After that, my consciousness cloud can be 'possessed', as long as I choose one with strong consciousness among the descendants of Anjia, and establish a spiritual connection.And as a price for letting me take refuge, I gave them the so-called 'settlement inheritance'. "

"Then what about me. Why did you choose to wake me up?" An Yi asked.

Fanfan's eyes glanced a little, and he didn't want to show his guilty conscience too obviously.

"Later, I discovered that the consciousness clouds of those puppet insects also learned spiritual connection and established a spiritual network. It will be a matter of time before they are found. So I thought, throw a bait to divert the tiger away from the mountain... or something."

An Yi: "...I'm that bait?"

Fanfan didn't speak.

An Yi was puzzled: "But, since you can 'throw' me out, it means that our consciousness has been separated, but why do you still exist in my consciousness?"

"That was an accident!" When Fanfan mentioned this, he became angry: "I finally persuaded An Wanru to let her use the genes you left behind to have a child. When the child was born, we I tried to throw you in. However, that kid turned out to be a genius. His mental power was too strong. I was unprepared, so I was injured and fell into a dormant state. When I woke up again, An Wanru was dead. Also dead, the bad thing is, I can't separate from you for the time being.

At that time, the spiritual network of the puppet worm had already begun to spread, so I had no choice but to occupy that physical cultivation first. "

"Unexpectedly, that body is too compatible with you. Your consciousness perfectly occupied his brain, but I was pushed into a corner by you instead. You even robbed me of many of the abilities I have accumulated over the years of evolution, otherwise Do you think you are really a spiritual genius?

Hmph, if it weren't for the Immortal Grass Peak, I'm afraid I would be swallowed by you. "

An Yi rubbed his nose - he finally understood where No. 1's resentment towards him came from.

However.

"Didn't you ask for this?"

Fanfan: QAQ

"Hey, don't cry. Look, it's not very good now, you also have a body. What's the matter with your body?" An Yi asked.

"I researched it myself, the ancient secret technique of the orc race, using rock fire lotus to make the body." Fanfan sobbed for a while, and praised An Yi unhappily: "Of course, you also contributed a lot."

Rock fire lotus.

It seems that those tasks at the beginning were all targeted.

"Since you already knew about the existence of puppet worms, why didn't you say it?" Ares asked at this time: "It's fine in the past, but after Longye mentioned something, you already know that those consciousness clouds are puppet worms. Why not Remind us?"

"At that time, the puppets were all lurking, and I haven't seen them for a long time. And I have reached the critical period of cohesive body, how can I be so distracted?"

"Then what else do you know about the puppet?" Ares asked, "Why did it summon you? Just to devour it?"

"Not only, but now." Fanfan's small face finally put away his second smile and became serious: "In the past, the puppets just gathered in groups, but now, they have a king. The thread of the spirit net is in the king's hand.

Moreover, many orcs are also puppets of puppet worms, and they have made a lot of "contributions" to the evolution of puppet worms.I will talk about this later, and it also needs the cooperation of the snake. "

"The troublesome thing now is that the puppet worms have an extra ability-split. Their consciousness cloud can be split three times, and the number of splits counts as the level. The level without splitting once is the highest. Higher puppet worms can suppress lower ones. .

Each puppet has its own spiritual network, and it can also form a spiritual network with the group.But this kind of spiritual network is limited by distance.

The puppets of people with amnesia you see are the last of the bunch.They are too far away from the king, so they are confused and regard you as their king.And the later ones were divided twice, they have their own consciousness, no matter how far away they are, they will never forget their mission.

So the high-level puppets give orders to the low-level ones, but their mental networks are different, so those people with amnesia will 'scream', and then lure you to the control base, because those high-level puppets are looking for you. "

"This is the truth about the riots at the control base."

The author has something to say: ————————

Writing is so fun.Especially long stories.

Before the beginning of the chapter, I had an outline, and after I wrote it, I followed the outline and sketched at will, creating various ideas to catch up with the dark lines before, sorting out the lines buried intentionally or unintentionally before, and drawing a picture.

A painting that I don't know what degree of completion it will be, every stroke is a surprise.

(Of course, having an outline is truly stunning.)
