After listening to the experimenter's explanation, Shen Yijin finally understood.
The group of people who had volunteered to participate in the experiment found out that they had been deceived and wanted to stop producing the phagocytes, but it was too late. By then, they had already been turned into phagocyte mothers by the leader of the Meteorite Sect and others. They were unable to make any changes and were forced to continue producing phagocytes.
Unlike phagocytes, the mother body of phagocytes is a mass of sarcoma. This mass of sarcoma is not affected by external forces and will only die when all phagocytes are dead.
But breeding phagocytes requires nutrition, and the human brain is the best nutrition.
Therefore, the leader of the Meteorite Sect placed the insect-eating mother body into the experimenter's head. Without the experimenter's knowledge, his brain had already been eaten clean by the insects, and his consciousness only survived because of the insect-eating mother body.
However, just half a month ago, the experimenter discovered something strange in his body and realized that there were parasites in his body.
After discovering the truth, the experimenter was unable to accept reality and his consciousness eventually dissipated.
"In fact, not only do the experimenters rely on our strength to preserve their consciousness, but we also need their consciousness to identify ourselves. If you don't come soon, our human consciousness will be suppressed by the gnatophagous instincts. Then, a large number of gnats will crawl all over the world."
The experimenter pointed at An Ningxuan and said, "The leader of the Meteorite Sect had already integrated his soul into the network and escaped with it. The elders had also fled long ago, and who knows where they were waiting for the outbreak of the insect-devouring tide. They did leave this person's body behind before they left, but she hasn't woken up in such a long time. We don't know if she is still alive."
"But you should first get rid of all the phagocytes in the lab. Kill all the phagocytes here. It would be best if I could die with them. If not, you must quickly find phagocytes elsewhere and kill them all. Otherwise, the phagocyte tide will break out sooner or later."
After the experimenter finished speaking, he looked at the bag in Shen Yijin's hand eagerly, wishing he could drink all the medicine in the bag in one gulp.
Nan Mingcheng squatted down to check An Ningxuan's breath: "She is very weak, but still breathing. She is still alive."
There is a difference between men and women, and in front of Shen Yijin, Nan Mingcheng took the initiative to avoid suspicion.
He called Shen Yijin over and turned his back to Shen Yijin, asking her to check if there were any marks left by the Meteorite Sect on An Ningxuan's body.
Chen Yijin searched inside and out but found no sign of the Meteorite Sect, so he gave An Ningxuan spiritual energy to save her life which was about to disappear.
"Without the Meteorite Sect's markings, it seems the sect's elders don't plan to use this body anymore." Chen Yijin sighed, "This is good for An Ningxuan. But this means we won't be able to locate the Meteorite Sect's elders' current location using the markings."
As for the leader of the Meteorite Sect, Shen Yijin probably guessed where he would go.
What place would be more suitable for him to live than the current game "Jiuxuanzong Xiuxianji"?
There is abundant spiritual energy there, and there is also a huge amount of data to support it. Maybe he is hiding in that spiritual vein now.
Nan Mingcheng waited until Chen Yijin had finished dressing An Ningxuan before turning around. He wasn't surprised by this outcome. "The people of the Meteorite Sect are very confident in their abilities, especially the Sect Leader and the elders. They're all quite conceited. They must have believed before they left that the Insect Devouring Tide would erupt soon, and now they're hiding, ready to reap the benefits."
"It would be great if they were so conceited that they didn't leave any backup plans. The fear is that they release the Devouring Insects somewhere else, and then we get rid of the Devouring Insects here, and then a Devouring Insect tide breaks out somewhere else. What's even more frightening is that they cooperate with Him." Shen Yijin frowned worriedly. The development of the Devouring Insects was the work of the World Consciousness. She felt that there was a high possibility that the World Consciousness would cooperate with the elders of the Meteorite Sect.
Although she was worried, Shen Yijin did not forget her business.
She gave Nan Mingcheng half a bag of medicine, and the two of them began to kill insects in the laboratory according to the experimenter's instructions.
In order to ensure that the insect-eating insect tide could break out as scheduled, the elders of the Meteorite Sect buried a lot of insect-eating insects in the laboratory.
It took Shen Yijin and the others a whole day to completely eliminate all the phagocytes in the laboratory. Now all that was left was the phagocyte mother in the experimenter's body.
Now, the experimenter was finally able to gulp down the medicine as he wished.
He drank more than twenty bottles of potion in a row. During this time, a gnat sensed the danger and crawled out of his head, but before it could escape, it was crushed by the experimenter.
After consuming more than twenty bottles of medicine, the mother insect phagocyte became smaller than before, but showed no signs of dying.
The experimenter confirmed that all the phagocytes in his body had been eliminated. He said dejectedly, "Sure enough, there are phagocytes elsewhere! Take me back and soak me in the potion. That way, you don't have to worry about the phagocytes I reproduce causing harm to society."
"Actually, there may not be some elsewhere. I took some phagocytes from your body for research. The reason you are still alive may be because the ones I took away are still alive." Shen Yijin saw that the experimenter was very depressed and spoke to comfort him.
But after she finished speaking, the experimenter shook his head like a rattle. "No, I know you took the phagocytes from me. I gave them to you specifically. They are the only phagocytes under my control. The phagocytes assimilated by it will destroy themselves upon hearing my command."
All the Devourers in the special department have died and there is no possibility of resurrection.
Shen Yijin failed to comfort the experimenter and instead became anxious because of his words.
Although she knew the possibility was slim, she still asked, "Can you sense the location of the Devourer in other places?"
Just as Shen Yijin expected, the experimenter didn't know where the phagocytes were hiding elsewhere.
"Are you looking for an insect nest? I know where it is..." Just when Shen Yijin and the others were at a loss, An Ningxuan, who had just woken up, spoke.
An Ningxuan hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a long time, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
If Shen Yijin hadn't improved her hearing after her cultivation, she wouldn't have known that An Ningxuan had woken up.
Chen Yijin looked at An Ningxuan in surprise: "Are you talking about the insect nest of the Devourer?"
An Ningxuan nodded with difficulty: "I saw it in my memory...but I only saw the name of that place, and I don't know how to get in."
At this point, An Ningxuan started coughing violently.
Shen Yijin didn't bring any water when she came. After hesitating for a moment, she poured the insect-killing potion into An Ningxuan's mouth.
After drinking the potion, An Ningxuan was no longer thirsty, but the potion reacted violently in her body. Her stomach churned and she vomited it out.
Shen Yijin: “…”
Oops, it looks like she made a mistake.
