Chapter 86 Evil Heretics (8)
Fluorescent Protein suddenly turned its head and stared at the synthetic monster in the cage.
Can speak?
Have wisdom?
Lancet was also startled. He froze for a moment, frowning slightly. "Damn! How can it talk without a mouth?"
Classic question.
The monster in front of him looked like a pool of rotten meat, with black mucus oozing out from all sides. It trembled slightly, wriggling its flesh and blood, slowly approaching the edge of the cage. Wherever it went, it left a trail of transparent mucus, like the light-colored trace left by a snail crawling.
Anyone could not help but frown at such a disgusting monster. However, Fluorescent Protein approached the cage excitedly, poked the headlock with his toes, and asked condescendingly, "Can you speak?"
The monster's body swayed slightly, trying to get closer to the fluorescent protein. Through the cage, it moved with "attachment," its jelly-like body trembling violently. In the blink of an eye, it opened its mouth, and its ferocious fangs suddenly flared!
Like the bloody mouth of a tiger shark, it suddenly attacked the scimitar!
Bang!
The sour crunch of sharp teeth biting the cage.
"Huff—"
The monster extended its barbed tongue and scraped fiercely at the lancet!
Boom!
The tongue was wrapped around the cage, black mucus corroded the metal cage, and bubbles popped from the bars.
The monster asked in a muffled voice: "Mother, food, eat."
Lancet was so frightened that he took a half step back and looked at it in shock, "Why did it suddenly grow teeth?!"
"And this tongue! Tongue flick?!"
A chameleon's tongue is extremely flexible, capable of projecting a length several times its body length in mere milliseconds. The newly synthesized monster's tongue, like a chameleon's, stretched out to a full two meters, far exceeding its body length.
Fluorescent Protein squatted down and reached out to touch the synthetic monster. Her eyes were indifferent, hiding an inexplicable emotion.
The monster with a mouth full of sharp teeth slid softly and trustingly into her palm.
It murmured in dependence, "Mother, mother, it's so warm, I like it."
The warmth of her fluorescent protein palm quickly dissipated, and she felt cold, but she did not withdraw her hand. Instead, she followed the outline of the monster and stroked its body. "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry?"
The monster squeezed out a pair of complex eyes, which were bulging in shape and had clear yellow pupils. The newly grown snake pupils turned to fluorescent protein. Its gaze fell on her, and its pupils suddenly shrank into vertical lines.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Fluorescent Protein moved closer to the cage, clinging to it completely. "Am I food? I'll give me to you to eat. Will you eat me?"
The monster blinked stiffly and dazedly, then spoke word by word, "Mother, can't be eaten. Protect, Mother."
Hearing its answer, Fluorescent Protein's smile deepened. She cut open her right arm with a knife, reached into the cage, and forced the monster to look directly at the fresh flesh and blood. The monster suddenly closed its mouth, saliva dripping from between its teeth. It was trying its best to suppress its bloodthirsty nature, and its pupils contracted in pain.
Want to eat.
Can’t eat!
want.
Mother, no, eat it.
Drops of blood fell.
The smell of blood filled the entire space.
The monster struggled patiently, bumping around in the cage, bang bang bang, making the latch shake!
Fluorescent Protein lowered his head and dripped blood next to the monster, tempting it: "Really don't want to eat? It's delicious. Come here, aren't you very hungry? I'll give it to you."
The synthetic monster, unable to even speak clearly, twisted its eyes and repeated over and over again, "No, I can't. Protect, protect my mother."
I don’t know how long it took, but Fluorescent Protein lost too much blood and felt dizzy.
The monster remained huddled in a corner of the cage, its body gurgling with black bubbles, like a boiling swamp, with countless black mucus flowing out, forming a river that flowed all the way to the feet of Lancet.
No matter how hungry or uncomfortable it was, it never licked the blood of fluorescent protein.
Fluorescent Protein looked at its painful appearance and smiled with satisfaction. She had laughed enough, coughed softly, and then said to Lancet, "Can't you see my little friend is hungry? Come here quickly."
Lancet felt a chill down his spine.
He understands what fluorescent protein means.
Fluorescent protein wants to feed it to the synthetic monster.
"Hold!"
Are you still human?
Fluorescent Protein's face turned pale, and he squinted his eyes and smiled, "Why, are you scared?"
"Didn't you say that dedicating oneself to science is an honor?"
Lancet's face froze. "That's what I said, but I volunteered myself, and you sacrificed me. That's one thing. After all, we've worked together for so long. Is your heart made of stone? You're discussing feeding me to the monster right in front of me, and you're so confident about it?"
Fluorescent Protein felt a little dizzy. "Come on, this is just a game, why are you being so pretentious? Killing people in the three-dimensional world is illegal, but are you a human being now? Game characters don't have human rights, just lie down obediently—"
Lancet was speechless. He agreed with everything Fluorescent Protein said, but he still felt strange.
"If the person standing in front of you was the clan leader, would you also feed him to the monster?"
Fluorescent Protein squinted and sneered at him, "How dare you compare yourself to the Sect Master? There's the Himalayas between you and him! Besides, if he dies, he's gone for good, but you can be resurrected. Stop talking nonsense and lie down!"
Lancet groaned as he undressed and lay on the operating table. He heard Fluorescent Protein humming a song and couldn't help but frown, "Are you so happy?"
Fluorescent Protein patted his face. "I've dissected all the other players, and you're the only one left. I finally succeeded today. How can I not be happy?"
The Lancet:
Good man, have you been eyeing him for a long time?
Lying on the operating table, Lancet felt no pain, but was a little bored. After thinking for a while, he asked Fluorescent Protein, "What's the principle? It eats your flesh, then it gains intelligence and recognizes you as its mother? This is so strange."
Fluorescent Protein's voice rang above his head, "Simply break down your question."
"It didn't eat my flesh and recognize me as its mother. It ate refined meatballs. In essence, meatballs have gone beyond the category of food and are more like pollutants that can change the monster's mind and thinking, affecting its behavior."
"I'm not sure if this contamination is permanent or temporary. Perhaps after I die, the synthetic monster will forget me. After all, when we die, our bodies will break into pieces and our flesh and blood will disappear. My flesh and blood turned into meatballs and were swallowed by it. It may merge with it, or it may remain as impurities in its body temporarily."
Lancet was silent for a few seconds. "If it's just impurities, how can it pollute the monster's mind? According to the law of conservation of energy—"
Fluorescent Protein scoffed, "Have you ever considered that Meatballs might be the catalyst?"
Lancet was stunned.
Fluorescent Protein slowly washed his hands. "It's accelerated. Perhaps the synthetic monster can already speak, but its growth cycle is so long that we can't see any changes for a while. After eating the meatball, a catalytic reaction occurs in its body, stimulating its growth."
"How could it recognize you as its mother?"
"It's a baby bird complex. The first person it saw was me, and it mistook me for its mother."
The lancet's tendons were cut, and warm blood flowed out. He didn't even look at it, but just said, "It's not that simple. It's overly dependent on you. This kind of love far exceeds the love a cub has for its mother. How can I describe it? It's as if the meaning of its existence is to protect you."
Like a customized bodyguard, loyal and devoted.
Fluorescent Protein raised an eyebrow, "I like your description."
Lancet wanted to say something, but Fluorescent Protein didn't give him a chance to speak and continued:
"I want to confirm one thing: can eating humans increase the intelligence of monsters?"
"Of course not! Eating humans can improve intelligence, then the monsters out there wouldn't be so stupid. The evolution of the biological world takes a long time."
"Besides, haven't we dissected some monsters? Those animal-like monsters clearly have complete brain structures, but they can't react quickly. They fell into the players' traps and died one after another, but they didn't learn from the experience. If it weren't for the intelligent commander who parachuted in from the opposite side, they would have been killed by us long ago."
Fluorescent Protein asked him calmly, "Have you ever thought about why they eat people?"
"Just to gain weight and fill your stomach?"
"They repeatedly and systematically attack human strongholds, encroaching on our living space. If they were driven solely by appetite, they would stop once they were full. If they were driven solely by the pressure of survival, then if they found us to be a tough opponent, they would actively avoid us and would not fight us to the death."
"But—"
Lancet immediately understood what she meant, "You mean, they're deliberately driving out and exterminating the human race?"
Fluorescent Protein pondered, "Before, I consulted the Sect Master for detailed information about monsters and demonic tides. The gray fog can corrode all life, including demonic plants. This is not genocide against humans, but the extinction of all life."
"The Sect Master said that in the area covered by the gray fog, all life would die, leaving it empty and desolate. At the time, I asked him, 'What about the monsters?' The Sect Master told me that the monsters would also disappear. That area would become a desolate zone. What does that mean?"
"In nature, animals fight for territory in order to survive and thrive. They're unlikely to give up their territory. But monsters simply devour the other species in their area. This is clearly irrational."
She looked at the lancet and said, "So, I call the Demonic Tide the [World Destruction Tide]. It may not be for survival, but for destruction."
Lancet understood completely. "If eating humans can improve monsters' intelligence, then their destructive behavior can be explained. They are doing it to strengthen themselves. In this case, the demon tide is still a war for survival. If it can't improve their intelligence and can't help their species evolve, then their behavior is just following orders?"
Fluorescent Protein spoke softly, "Yes. This is a good opportunity. The synthetic monster has a very low IQ and is close to me, so we can better observe its changes. Because it's close to me, it won't lie to me. Even if its IQ increases, it won't deliberately lie. This way, the experimental data will be more scientific and credible."
Lancet murmured, "No wonder you didn't raise other monsters to test their IQ. Are you afraid they'd cheat you?"
"That's nonsense! This level of secrets concerns the development of their species. How could they possibly tell the truth?"
Knowing what she was planning, Lancet lay down completely and cooperated with her obediently.
"Don't die, just tell me if you can't hold on."
"Just cut it. You're talking so much. I'm getting nervous."
The body of the synthetic monster in the cage expanded several times. It grew bones, skin, transparent tentacles, and gradually took shape, like a white bone flower wrapped in jelly.
At the same time, its dependence on fluorescent proteins deepened, but unfortunately, its IQ did not increase.
The fluorescent protein records rapidly, and the lying lancet occasionally reports a number to prove that it is still alive.
"IQ hasn't increased. I infer that a monster's IQ is fixed at birth. High-level monsters have an IQ close to that of humans, while low-level monsters have an IQ similar to that of livestock. They can understand simple commands, are highly obedient, but have poor adaptability."
"Devour human flesh and blood can catalyze their growth, but it cannot directly enhance their abilities. The refined meatballs are suspected to be able to stimulate intelligence, but there is not enough experimental material to accurately prove it. Further experiments are needed."
"Monsters crave human flesh and blood. This may be related to their genes. They simply want to eat humans. Their stomachs can digest food rapidly, but they cannot absorb the nutrients. Once the monsters are fully grown, no matter how much flesh and blood they eat, they will not change. This indirectly proves that the demon tide is a tidal wave of destruction, killing for the sake of destruction."
"The synthesized monster consumes the meatballs refined from the player's flesh and blood, and can bind to the player. It also possesses parasitic and mobile manipulation capabilities, can transform, and can be remotely controlled."
"It has not yet been tested whether it can parasitize beastly players."
"Its strength, flexibility, and deformation limits have not yet been tested."
“We haven’t tested whether it is possible to bind multiple people.”
Fluorescent Protein put down the paper and pen and slowly walked into the cage.
"Join me."
"Yes, mother."
The jelly-textured monster carefully touched the fluorescent protein skin and slowly wrapped her up.
There was a creaking sound as bones twisted.
Bang.
The back of the fluorescent protein was suddenly torn open, and more than ten arms stretched out from the spine, each arm was covered with sticky liquid, like a spider stretching its legs, "swish", and all of them bloomed at once!
Lancet glanced at it in a daze, and in a trance, he seemed to see the performance of Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
The monster slowly merged into Fluorescent Protein's body. Its jelly-like body perfectly fit the curve of Fluorescent Protein's body. Several transparent tentacles pierced into her skin fiercely. Fluorescent Protein felt her body being pulled back, and she tried to stand up straight.
Crunch.
The spine, lumbar vertebrae, shoulder blades, and all the bones in the body were groaning.
They are reshaped and shaped!
Fluorescent protein frowned and waited, but in just a cup of tea, she grew twelve new arms and four new legs!
The pulling feeling in the body slowly faded away. The monster was wrapped in fluorescent protein, and its soft skin gradually became stiff. Soon, the newly grown arms and legs of the fluorescent protein were covered with a layer of hard scales!
After another half cup of tea, the fluorescent protein completed its transformation.
Now, her body is extremely strong and she has several flexible arms, capable of both offense and defense, like an indestructible Valkyrie.
She tried writing with her new arm, and the handwriting was the same, just as flexible and deft.
"Now, there's only one last step left."
The fluorescent protein controlled its six legs, and it slid rapidly to the side of the lancet.
His legs were cut to the bone, his eyes were dazed, and when he felt her approaching, he just pulled the corners of his mouth and muttered, "She's still alive."
Fluorescent Protein crawled to his side in an extremely strange posture, with his head lowered and slightly stretched forward, "Well, now you can die."
Lancet raised his eyelids and glanced at her, trying to squeeze out a sentence, "Although I'm a game character, I'm no different from a living person. Looking at my miserable appearance, are you really not feeling anything?"
Damn! What the hell is this? Spider-girl? Why does it have so many arms and legs?
God bless, I hope the master won’t be angry when he sees their new work.
Fluorescent Protein reached out a hand to cover his eyes and said softly, "When I was six, my father took me on an outing. We had a car accident on a mountainside and crashed headfirst into the cliff. He fainted, and secretions blocked his mouth and nose, making it impossible to breathe. I performed a throat surgery on him with a letter opener."
Other hands picked up knives and scissors.
She exerted a little force, using her free hands to hold down the lancet to prevent him from struggling.
Through the gaps between his fingers, Lancet saw several sharp blades stabbing towards his vital parts. His heart sank and he simply closed his eyes.
"My father knew I was not a normal person when I was six years old. So he encouraged me to become a doctor. Unfortunately, I didn't become a doctor."
As she sighed, Lancet's body shattered into pieces.
The lancet disappeared, the synthetic monster didn't change at all, and neither did the fluorescent protein.
Fluorescent Protein stood there with her fangs bared and her hands covered in blood. Feeling the power in her body, she smiled with satisfaction.
very good.
She can now accept players' exclusive monster customization.
《Don't need 999 contribution points! Just 299 contribution points! Take your exclusive monster home! It can transform and can be used as a mount! Affordable, everyone who has bought it says it's great》
She's going to make it big!
A corner of the Icefield State.
Jian Shiyuan looked at the huge vacuum cleaner and smiled silently.
Is this the new weapon you prepared?
The silver-blue vacuum cleaner was enormous, with a cumbersome storage bucket that looked like it could hold a person. Unlike the vacuum cleaners sold on Blue Star, it didn't have an engine or other mechanical mechanisms; instead, it had an intricate magic circle.
Jian Shiyuan took a quick look.
Players combined the telekinesis array with the teleportation array to create a chain array that can both siphon objects and transfer the sucked-in objects to storage buckets.
Because its working principle is similar to that of a vacuum cleaner, players took shortcuts when designing its appearance and made it into this shape.
One player gushed, "Master, don't underestimate this thing; it's actually quite useful! Someone, get the filter!"
As he spoke, a player stood up, saluted Jian Shiyuan, and then crawled into the giant vacuum cleaner.
Is this a filter element???
The smile on Jian Shiyuan's lips froze.
Ga.
The vacuum cleaner is activated by the player.
I saw a player pick up the huge nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, aim it at the gray fog, and swirl it—
Accompanied by the sound of swallowing, countless gray mists were sucked into the storage barrel.
"You're pouring it in too fast! Gulp, I can't eat any more! Slow down! You bastards!"
"I'm dying of stuffing, you bunch of beasts!"
"Burp! Is it time to change the filter? I really can't eat anymore!"
Jian Shiyuan:
Jian Shiyuan took a few steps forward, and the expression on his face became more natural. He smiled sincerely.
Have players figured out how to deal with the gray fog?
About ten minutes later, the gray fog on the entire ground in front of him was cleared away.
Jian Shiyuan saw the player who had gone in crawl out again, coughing softly and punching the other players hard. Then he drew his sword and cut open his Qi and Xue, took out the black pill that had been compressed into a ball, and carefully put it into the bottle.
After doing everything, he walked up to Jian Shiyuan and presented the bottle to her in a flattering manner.
"Master, this is the gray fog that has been dealt with. While you were away, we cleared the gray fog near the sect and cleaned up the battlefield, forcing the monsters back ten kilometers. Now the area around the sect is safe."
Jian Shiyuan took the bottle and weighed it gently. He didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Does it hurt to cut the blood vessels?"
It must have taken a lot of effort to make such a big bottle of black pill, right?
The player touched his head and chuckled, "I turned off the pain, it doesn't hurt."
I'm just so full of myself, those bastards!
Holding the bottle, Jian Shiyuan exerted a little force and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to all players! You have completed the construction mission - Expelling the Gray Fog. NPC Jian Shiyuan's favorability towards you has reached 1. Each player will receive a reward of 100 Contribution Points.]
award!
The players present were excited.
"Long live!"
"The vacuum cleaner method is amazing!"
"Eliminate the gray fog and protect the sect! I'll get another giant vacuum cleaner right away!"
The player who presented the bottle was in tears.
Master, won't you give me some extra rewards?
As if she could hear his thoughts, Jian Shiyuan smiled at him.
[Congratulations, you've received 200 Contribution Points from Jian Shiyuan!]
At the same time, Crimson also received a server-wide announcement.
Looking at the malicious fluorescent protein in front of him, he tucked his tail between his legs and tried to burrow into the snow, whimpering and not daring to look up.
Fluorescent Protein grabbed his tail and coaxed him, "Come on, sister has prepared a lot of delicious food for you."
Delicious?
Go away, do you really think he is stupid?
The last time he was tricked into the lab, that animal called Fluorescent Protein shaved off all his hair and made him run naked in the snow, saying it was a test of his cold resistance.
If he falls for it again, he’ll be a dog!
