Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Maggot's Nest (Transformation) (I have to go to the night shift at night~)

"You say... Target... It's a... What does it mean? Xue Hua was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Abbather's words.

However, he hoped that he would be wrong......

"The liquid sample submitted by Juggernaut, which contains the following substances: water - large amount, protein - large amount, dopamine - trace amount, sugar - medium amount, chloride - medium amount, preliminarily determined that this substance is brain tissue fluid - cerebrospinal fluid."

Abbather ignored Xue Hua's question, and just made a report on his own, but every time he said a word, Xue Hua's heart was cold.

Until the end, when Abbather spoke his judgment, Xue Hua was already eager to shrink his body into his clothes......

However, Abasser's report is still not over here, and it continues.

"Genetic identification based on the trace biological tissues contained in the sample, which come from the nerve center of the brain of some kind of organism, is the epidermal layer of nerve fibers......"

"Okay, that's enough! Don't say it, I've got it... What do you mean... We are now walking in some kind of bio... In the head? ”

Xue Hua couldn't stand it anymore, he had touched the disgusting mucus on the wall with his hands before, at that time he just thought these things were disgusting, but he never thought that he was walking in a thick cranial nerve at that time......

"More precisely, ...... in the neural network of brain tissue"

Abbather replied, and then made a rare request to Xue Hua.

It wanted to come out of the Leviathan and take a look.

Xue Hua fulfilled this request and released it from the Leviathan.

Abbather's first action after appearing in this "cranial nerve channel" is to crawl to the "tunnel walls" and stretch out his appendages to touch the "cave walls".

The vesicles behind it flickered, as if they were thinking about something.

But Xue Hua really didn't want to stay in this weird "cranial nerve channel" anymore, since he learned that he was staying in the "brain" of a certain creature, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

So, he turned around, trying to let the king worm, who was on standby outside, pull him out of this strange place.

However, when he turned around, he was slightly horrified to find that the exit that had been above his head a moment had now disappeared at some point.

"That's great...... Xue Hua rolled his eyes and glanced around with an ugly face, but he didn't find any other "roads" other than the now blocked "passage" he had passed through when he came.

"Abasser! What do we do now? After discovering this, Xue Hua suddenly felt a pain, and he walked directly behind the biology expert of the insect swarm, and asked in a hurried tone.

"The creature's brain tissue structure is fairly simple, not a brain structure designed for thinking, so you still have a chance to see its body and capture it, which will contribute a lot to the evolution of the swarm."

Abbather replied calmly, of course, almost at all times.

"Ontology? Where is it? I don't even know how to get out of this enclosed area now, how to catch this thing? ”

"By observing the direction of the neural signals in the creature's brain, I can provide you with the exact location of its main body, and you can allow the infected to use the neural parasitic ability to paralyze part of the creature's neural network, so that part of its cranial nerve defense mechanism is dominated by the swarm."

Abbathhar came up with a weird but worthwhile solution.

"Uh... Now that we're on this guy's... Well... In the head, then why don't we just use a large number of infected people to cast neuroparasitic skills to control it? ”

Xue Hua blinked, and suddenly thought of a problem, the infected's neural parasitic skills control the nerve center of the target unit, and those nerve parasites can achieve the purpose of controlling the target's consciousness and spirit by creating fake neuropheromones.

If that's the case, then why don't they just control that thing right here?

"The idea is that the structure of the organism's brain is simple, but it is a discrete structure, and its real neural control center is in the body, and this conclusion can be inferred from the conduction rate of its neural signals."

Abbather's explanation directly cut off Xue Hua's whimsical idea, and at the same time made Xue Hua understand why this thing could allow so many monsters and humans to run into its brain.

It turns out that the human brain is divided into two parts, one part is a huge brain neural network located in some unknown space and partially connected to normal space, and the other part is a sophisticated, critical neural signal processing center located on its body.

In these two parts, the cranial neural network forms a vast defense and feeding system, and these neural networks are very strong and difficult to destroy, and even if destroyed, they can regenerate quickly.

The exterior of the neural network is a very special virtual and real space, that is, it is connected to the real world, but it is impossible to find the location of the neural network by conventional methods.

The purpose of this neural network is to help the body ingest "food" - the corpses left behind by human professionals who inadvertently enter the network after a battle with monster projections, or the ghost death beetles that are part of the "neural defense system" to kill the poor insects.

and protection for the body.

This particular mechanism reminded Xue Hua of certain records of the ancient tomb of Tarasya.

Legend has it that the tomb of Talasha was banished by Talasha himself into a space between reality and fantasy.

It is not reachable by conventional means, but there is indeed an interface with the real world.

This interface is the legendary "Mystic Vault".

And the image of the mysterious refuge in the game is indeed very similar to the neural network where Xue Hua is now......

So it seems... This seems to be a parody of the ancient tomb of Talasha?

Just when Xue Hua was speculating in his heart, Abbather's research was over.

The first sentence it opened its mouth indirectly confirmed Xue Hua's guess just now.

"There are traces of genetic suturing in the genetic sequence of this creature, and the suturing method is highly consistent with the suturing method I collected on the gene of 'Subject No. 1', and it is judged that the two are the remnants of genetic tests conducted by the same advanced intelligent life or race."

"This thing... Is it artificial? Xue Hua's eyes widened, looking at the "walls" around him that were full of slime, and he couldn't accept the fact that this thing was actually man-made.

But soon he was relieved.

Yes, with the peculiarity of this thing, it is indeed difficult for natural evolution to evolve such a strange species......

However, the second half of Abasser's sentence made him creepy, when Abbather finished analyzing the genetic specimen of "Experimental Subject No. 1" and announced that it had traces of artificial modification, Xue Hua was already suspicious of this universe, and now there is such a ... Indescribable creatures.

And they are actually from the same kind of intelligent life......

What the hell is that guy, or that bunch trying to do?

Who are they? Where are they now?

Isn't he hiding in some dark corner watching his every move and laughing secretly?

The thought that he might be being watched from all angles made him feel cold, and a chill spread frantically upwards from below his spine.

But fortunately, Abbather seemed to see through his thoughts, and spoke directly to relieve his concerns.

"The modifiers of these creatures, whoever they are, have left this place now.

The organism is a biological device that has been modified for use in some kind of laboratory or experimental equipment, so its brain is underdeveloped and has no thinking ability, but it is sufficient to carry a large amount of information and experimental data.

It has an extremely rigid procedural information processing ability and a very good concealment ability, both of which should normally hide its existence when it is moderated.

But now, because of the survival instinct of the creature, it has revealed its own existence.

In the case of biological devices, this behavior means that the manufacturer and user have not 'maintained' it for a long time.

Usually this means that its creator is either dead or hasn't been back for a long time. ”
