Chapter 40 Doubts



Tu Ran stayed on the death track for two more seconds.

The death of the Tibetan Mastiff also indirectly confirmed Tu Ran’s previous guess.

"Sister Ran, our mission has been completed, right? Can we report to Captain Li Wenchuan now?" Ding Naiqing asked Tu Ran happily.

It's amazing that their team was able to find the alien so quickly.

He can show off to many people.

Tu Ran stared at the half-human, half-snake corpse on the ground, thinking, "Don't report it yet, I think something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Ding Naiqing asked puzzledly.

The guards were all puzzled. Hadn't they already caught the alien? What else was wrong? At this time, Li Wu, who had been standing behind the crowd, spoke up, "This alien passed the interrogation of the execution department this morning."

Tu Ran agreed, "Guard Li is right. There are three possibilities for Naya Rivera to pass the interrogation of the Execution Department. First, she was possessed after the interrogation of the Execution Department. But from the data on the photo that Guard Wang showed just now, the Tibetan Mastiff died before the Execution Department arrived this morning."

"Second, the main method used by the Executive Department for this interrogation is to let two people who are familiar with each other ask each other questions and have the other party answer them. Naya Rivera passed the interrogation, so the person who asked questions to Naya Rivera is very suspicious. There is a great possibility that the person has also been possessed by an alien species."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guards became agitated.

"Aren't there only seventeen alien species? Is there more than one here on the farm alone?" the guard named Wang asked.

Tu Ran couldn't answer his question now. With her limited experience in this world and her limited brain capacity, she didn't know what the situation was. But she always remembered the words Xi Chunzhi left her: alien infection.

If the alien species is contagious, one alien species can infect many people, then this situation can be explained clearly.

"It's just my guess at this point. If there is a second alien, we will need to meet the person who helped Naya Rivera later."

"What could the third one be?" a guard asked impatiently.

"The last one is that this parasitic alien has the ability to obtain human memories, so it can answer questions." Tu Ran said.

"This... is impossible?" Ding Naiqing questioned in a low voice, "Among all the parasitic species encountered by the pioneer team so far, none of them can acquire human memories."

"Having never encountered it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just like we haven't encountered any alien species of reptiles or snakes before, but now we have encountered one?" Tu Ran's face was serious. "We only know less than one tenth or one twelfth of the threshold now. Everything is possible."

Ding Naiqing's brows were still furrowed. Tu Ran knew what he was worried about. If an alien species appeared that could inherit human memories, then the federal government's previous system for identifying alien species would completely collapse, and humans would lose one more advantage in facing alien species.

But for Tu Ran, this is secondary. The second possibility is probably the most likely one.

"Naiqing, explain the situation here to other members in the group first, and then ask them if they have found any suspicious circumstances over there."
