Chapter 507: The Beast
It was recorded in the Miraculous Records.
"In the southwest wilderness, a deceitful beast appears. It resembles a rabbit, but has a human face and can speak. It often deceives people, saying east when it is west, and saying evil when it is good. Its meat is delicious; if you eat it, its words will become untrue."
And this so-called evil beast.
He is the instigator of this incident.
The false beasts are not vicious beasts and have low abilities, but they are eloquent and like to mislead people with lies.
For their clan, lying can be said to be a nature, and this is what is meant by being a habitual liar.
But there is also a saying that the false beasts themselves are very weak, and they are good at deceiving those powerful alien species and making them fight each other, so that they can ensure that they can keep some place to stay in the middle.
This is a species that attaches great importance to territory and territory. Because its meat is very delicious, it has been hunted by other species and even humans.
In recent years it has almost become extinct.
When the staff member of the Archives Management Department handed Li Muhan a thin, inconspicuous stack of documents, he added, "This thing has no other harm except lying. It doesn't even constitute a condition for detention."
Li Muhan looked at the brief file, which did not even record a named beast, but only briefly described the affairs of its clan.
And it's obvious that the archivist is slacking off.
Most of them are directly adapted from the original texts in Shenyi Ji and Shan Hai Jing.
It can also be seen from the side that, at least when this file was classified, the influence of the evil beast on this world was minimal.
Moriarty told 035 that Xia Ke's body had been taken over by the evil beast.
But unlike the fusion between her and Tai Sui, the Evil Beast directly took over Xia Ke's body. One of the Evil Beast's abilities is to spread rumors while wearing human skin. This is an innate ability of their clan.
In other words, Xia Ke is dead now, and the thing that is still talking is just a beast in human skin.
When hearing the news, Xia Yue was stunned.
She didn't expect that her sister had been killed.
At this moment, she seemed to feel the same feeling as when her adoptive parents died, but now she didn't have to bear it alone, so she hugged Li Muhan tightly without saying a word.
All the pain was expressed in this way.
Li Muhan comforted Xia Yue for a long time, and finally made sure that she had calmed down a little before going to the archives to retrieve the relevant information about the beast.
"Let's go report to Director Lin first."
After Li Muhan said this, the girl from the Archives Management Department smiled and gave him a suggestion.
"Captain Li, you're a celebrity now, after all. I know you have a special relationship with Director Lin, but since this matter hasn't been resolved yet, you don't need to report every little thing to her."
This is indeed good advice.
Only then did Li Muhan realize that he seemed to be too lacking in independent thinking.
Ever since the day Lin Ze brought him into the Special Management Bureau, he seemed to have become a little too dependent on Lin Ze.
But in fact, Lin Ze usually doesn't care about such trivial matters.
Therefore, the archivist reminded Li Muhan, hoping that he would use his brain more in everything and not run to the leader whenever there was a little progress and a decision or resolution needed.
After thanking the archivist, Li Muhan returned to the office of Team 7.
Su Xue had changed into her suit again, Lin Ziyu was busy doing something in front of the computer, and Yin Qi was still playing with his phone with his head down.
"Just now, the people from the execution team took 035 away. They said that 035 must now be under strict supervision every day, so they can no longer follow up on this matter with us."
Su Xue said to Li Muhan.
Li Muhan nodded.
Seeing Xia Yue looking listless beside Li Muhan, Su Xue probably guessed something.
But she did not rush to comfort him. As the saying goes, only the fish in the water knows the warmth and coldness of the water itself. Any comfort that does not put oneself in the other person's shoes may sometimes cause secondary harm to others.
"Although the source of 035's intelligence is unknown, we can only follow this path now."
Li Muhan placed the false beast's file on the desk. At this time, Lin Ziyu turned around and said something to them.
"I just posted a help thread on the Huaxia Special Management Bureau's internal forum regarding the Black Beast. Mengmeng from Team Six said she knows how to deal with this anomaly."
Internal forum?
Is there such a thing?
Li Muhan couldn't help but sigh that this Special Management Bureau always brought him some new tricks.
But now that Mengmeng knows about the blackmailing beast, it will be easy to deal with.
So ten minutes later, Mengmeng came to the office of the seventh team. As soon as she came in, she found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, especially Xia Yue, who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, as if she had suffered a blow.
But Mengmeng was more sensible and she didn't ask too many questions. After all, she came here for work and she also got Lu Mang's consent to temporarily support the Seventh Team.
"One of the reasons why the false beasts spread rumors is for survival." Mengmeng stood in front of the table like a teacher, explaining the ecology of the false beasts to others.
"But there's another reason. This alien creature gains power from the rumors it spreads. The more people believe its rumors, the stronger it becomes. And as its power grows, it can manipulate the minds of those who hear its rumors, forcing them to give up thinking and become slaves to the rumors."
"So, the Falcon should be a very threatening alien. Why do I see in the file that it says... Chaos-level?"
Meng Meng couldn't give a good explanation for Lin Ziyu's question. "I, I don't know... I just entered the dream of a monster hundreds of years ago. I was bored at the time, so I played in her dream."
When they heard that Mengmeng had this side to her, several people couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made Mengmeng blush a little.
"It was really boring back then. Humans and aliens of that era were all pretty simple-minded... But that sly beast was in a lot of pain. In my dream, she begged me to talk to her. I was curious why she would talk to a nightmare demon. I warned her... Don't lie to me, I'm very smart!"
Mengmeng imitated the tone of voice at that time. Seeing that everyone almost laughed out loud again, she quickly coughed a few times and knocked on the table like a real teacher.
"Ahem... everyone, listen carefully... Then she told me that she didn't want to lie, because lying made her suffer, but if she didn't lie, she wouldn't be able to survive... She also had a child, and her entire tribe had been slaughtered by hunters. To protect herself and her child, she disguised herself as a human and deceived the hunters, causing all the hunters in the village to mistakenly enter the lair of a python demon..."
Speaking of this, Mengmeng seemed to be recalling something. The appearance of the evil beast gradually emerged in her mind, and then a rainbow bubble suddenly popped out of her head.
The bubble floated in front of everyone, and a scene slowly emerged.
"...What kind of 3D printer do you have? Even a 035 isn't as advanced as yours."
Li Muhan couldn't help but gasp when he saw this thing.
"Recognize it, look carefully! Classmate Li Muhan!"
Mengmeng warned again, and then everyone turned their eyes to the bubble.
It seemed like Mengmeng from hundreds of years ago, wearing a simple and elegant white gauze dress, which looked quite unique.
In front of her, kneeling on the ground and crying, was a girl with rabbit ears and white hair.
