"At the beginning of the apocalypse, even with the presence of Lord Nephalem, great unrest still occurred. Some people lost their minds and wantonly vented their fear upon those around them, while others took advantage of the turmoil to loot and smash things.
Lady Nephalem was kind, but she never intervened directly in people's conflicts. The city's order remained under the responsibility of the original government.
But the riots were so large that there weren't enough people to keep order. Even though I was just a recent graduate, I was eventually drafted in to keep order."
"Yeah." The girl's eyes were unfocused, and she responded politely to show that she was listening.
"Later, when I returned from duty, I discovered my mother had been murdered in the living room of our home by someone piercing the back of her head with a sharp steel pipe.
The murderers were an elderly couple whose only son had his head blown off by an elder during a riot because of murder and hostage-taking.
This pair of old, cowardly bullies didn't dare to attack our seniors, let alone me. Instead, they made inquiries and found my home, killed my mother, and used her blood to write four words on the wall of my house: Blood debt must be paid with blood.
Luo Long's expression remained unchanged, but an inexplicable gloomy and crazy temperament enveloped her, which was frightening.
"So, blood debt must be repaid with blood?" Shen Lanzhou asked.
It looks like a question, but in fact the answer has already been given.
"Yes."
She nodded and said:
"After doing all this, I can't feel happy at all. It feels like there's a huge hole in my chest. Yes, what's the point of a momentary revenge? The dead can't be resurrected."
That's true, but it only happens after revenge.
Luo Long's eyes were dazed, as if he was stuck in a quagmire of memories from which he couldn't escape.
Shen Lanzhou raised his eyes and looked at the other party: "It is obvious that he has been resurrected."
Yes and no. Is it the amoeba mimicry or the real person?
Even if the appearance of the Ship of Theseus, after all its parts have been replaced, is exactly the same as the original ship, can it still be the original ship?
"After my revenge, I returned home in despair and sat beside my mother's body. Despair ran out, and I was about to commit suicide when my mother suddenly spoke."
Luo Long suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Shen Lanzhou, and said with a smile: "She said: Xiao Long, are you hungry? How about having hot pot tonight?"
How did Luo Long feel at that time when he saw his adoptive mother asking him if he was hungry as usual with a big hole in her head?
A terrifying hole was pierced through her adoptive mother's beautiful face, visible from front to back. Through the hole, she saw countless soft and transparent insects intertwined and gathered together, mimicking a brain that had been destroyed into a pool of paste.
Looking back, she couldn't remember for a moment how she felt.
Maybe it's fear mixed with surprise...
Luo Long trembled and threw himself into his adoptive mother's arms, crying loudly, venting his fear and relief at regaining what he had lost.
Her adoptive mother hugged her back tenderly, flicked away the amoeba on her body with her fingers, and stroked Luo Long's back again and again, just like when she coaxed her to sleep when she was a child, to drive away her anxiety and fear.
Shen Lanzhou stared at the white-haired maid intently, confirming once again that she was clean and intact, not infested by any amoeba, and not even a single insect egg on her body.
abnormal.
Is she abnormal, or is it her adoptive mother who feeds her delicious food but doesn't eat it that is abnormal?
Wait, I heard they were together before...
At this moment, there were only two words left in Shen Lanzhou's mind:
Awesome
Okay, that’s quite perverted, I’m not as good as him.
Luo Long's words also made Shen Lanzhou wonder why she was not eaten?
Lily ate the same kind that was parasitic in the gray giant's brain, occupied its body, and naturally received the memories of her same kind.
Later, she passed on the intelligence she had obtained to Shen Lanzhou without reservation through the contract between the two parties.
Judging from the information provided by Lily, this group of amoebas are not good people.
I don't know if it was intentional or accidental.
The no-killing rule of the Magic City can be easily circumvented by the amoebas. Although we eat your brain, as long as you can still breathe, you are alive.
It is even said that amoeba can restore the host's brain on a one-to-one basis, completely simulating the host's personality, thinking and even memory. Apart from the brain becoming made of insects and being more afraid of high temperatures, there are no side effects.
It’s a win-win situation!
It means Amoeba wins twice.
In Shen Lanzhou's opinion, it was strange that Luo Long spent all day with dangerous parasites, had no master-servant contract to restrain him, and yet still had a normal brain.
It can’t be because... they are pure love, right?
"So, what's your purpose in telling me all this? Are you planning to turn against me and get rid of me?"
Suppressing all the speculations in his mind, Shen Lanzhou tilted his head and looked at the maid.
"Nothing, I just felt like talking." The maid looked up at the dark red, gloomy sky. "The rain seems to be getting heavier."
The overwhelming rain fell on the buildings, making continuous and rapid rain sounds, hitting the ground and splashing huge water splashes.
The "customers" in the roadside shops stood by the doors and windows, staring at the two people in the bloody rain.
No matter what they were before, now they are all "Amoebas".
Oh, it's to buy time.
"Mom wants to see you, Miss Shen Lanzhou."
The white-haired maid crossed her arms in front of her, gently and politely stepped aside and said, "Please follow me."
The shops on both sides of the street were filled with amoebas. They stared at Shen Lanzhou silently, paying their respects to this strange intruder.
