mark
Shang Jingyan broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Fortunately, the objects that the brain worms could control seemed to be limited. Otherwise, they could control the pirates from the Dragon Sea to kill her. Any retired pirate on this planet could hang her up and beat her.
Who will be manipulated?
People with low mental power? No, that's not right. Blue Ants have A at least. There are also many ordinary people with only BC among the pirates here.
...It seems that the only special characteristic that Blue Ant cannot escape is the identity of "member of the True Object Group".
Shang Jingyan leaned back in his chair and pinched his eyebrows.
If this is the case, then things are serious. She originally thought that the True Object Group was an organization that could be recruited to fight against the brain worms together, but, are the people of the True Object Group more vulnerable to invasion?
Shang Jingyan frowned even more tightly and pretended to be talking again, while his mental power worked tirelessly to clear the black fog in the blue ant's mental picture.
The spirit body of the blue ant is a Q-version ant, as big as a kitten. It seems to have fainted and is motionless.
And just after Shang Jingyan had almost plowed through the other person's mental picture, she made a new discovery.
A coin-sized badge with a jellyfish pattern engraved on it was lying quietly in the jungle at the core of the blue ant scene.
Shang Jingyan immediately understood that it was a mark!
She herself had done something similar, leaving a black sheep mark in the landscape of those she had healed.
As long as it is there, she can feel the changes in the other person's mental picture even if they are thousands of miles apart, and can arrive in an instant.
The brain worm’s criterion for selecting people to control is people with jellyfish marks in their brains.
Now the question is, who put this mark? Was it a human or a brain worm?
To be honest, Shang Jingyan himself didn't know how he had this ability. It was definitely not something an ordinary human could do.
But if there is one, there will be two. What if there is someone like her?
Shang Jingyan is more inclined to believe that someone has reached a cooperation with the brain worms to select "puppets" for them.
Otherwise, if the brain worms themselves were to choose, it would be the same as the analysis at the beginning. They could just choose a strong person.
The Zhenwu Group still cannot clear itself of suspicion, and its suspicion is even greater.
Shang Jingyan did not linger any longer and removed all the black fog from the blue ants in one go.
She opened her eyes and saw that the pupils of the person opposite her were focused. He finally showed signs of coming to his senses, but his body staggered and he fell headfirst onto the table.
The people outside the glass suddenly became alert. Shang Jingyan got up, opened the door, and shook his head, indicating that he had gained nothing this time.
"I didn't get anything out of her. She just fainted." She selectively told the "truth".
It was already late at night when Shang Jingyan left the police station, and he went straight back to sleep.
The next morning, she heard Cui Yunting smacking his lips as he recounted what happened next.
The blue ant fell into a coma simply because he was overly tired. After waking up, he was very panicked and confused. He claimed that he had not attacked anyone at all and didn't even know how he came to the Dragon Sea Planet.
The polygraph could not tell whether her words were true or false, but everyone could testify that she was the one who committed the crime, and the case was at a stalemate.
"...In short, if you choose not to pursue the matter, she won't have to suffer." Cui Yunting's tone was subtle. She could vaguely feel what Shang Jingyan had done last night. Perhaps the truth really had nothing to do with Blue Ant "himself", so she adopted this statement.
"However, someone contacted me today and said they wanted to bail out the person who attacked you."
Shang Jingyan: “…”
Why does it sound so gangster?
"The other party seems to be mobilizing higher-level relationships. Although I am the master of the planet, I cannot stop it." Cui Yunting continued, "What do you think? If you want to force her to stay, we can do it."
She was calm and composed.
Shang Jingyan shook his head: "No need."
The blue ants were just pawns controlled by the brainworm, and there was no point in locking them up. But now that someone wanted to intervene, it meant that there were more people involved, so it was better to follow the clues and observe.
"Sister Cui, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you help me keep an eye on the other side's subsequent movements?"
Cui Yunting agreed immediately: "Okay, that's what I was planning to do. It's my responsibility as the owner of my planet to let you get into trouble. I must find out who is responsible."
The news of Shang Jingyan's terrifying moment in Dragon Sea was not leaked to the outside world, and her fans and audiences just thought she was traveling.
She didn't even tell Pei Yi, but only told her two teammates. Ao Qingxue was so nervous after hearing that she almost flew over. She only gave up after Shang Jingyan repeatedly assured her that she was fine.
And Yun Yongxue... Yun Yongxue chose to fly here directly overnight.
So Ao Qingxue saw that he was setting an example, and immediately chose to set off. Now the three-person team gathered in the Dragon Sea.
Shang Jingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But she found that she didn't feel her plans were disrupted. She didn't reject the concern of two younger people of her mental age.
Maybe it's time to tell them my plan, Shang Jingyan thought.
She didn't tell Pei Yi, probably because of this selfishness. If Pei Yi came, he would be involved in the incident, but he was just an ordinary person compared to his teammates. Shang Jingyan just hoped that he could run the small teahouse as usual.
Dragon Sea doesn’t actually put much thought into tourism, but it’s still a planet worth visiting.
Although Shang Jingyan herself thought it was not necessary, the two insisted on taking her to relax and calm her nerves. The three of them had fun for several days without distraction. When Yun Yongxue could no longer play, they returned to their retirement life to look for inspiration.
"Every time I watch it, I have to say that these pirates' acting is so realistic."
On the beach, Ao Qingxue looked around and sighed.
Shang Jingyan: "Well, actually, they were all real pirates."
Ao Qingxue turned around and exclaimed: "Wow, Yanyan, you made a good joke."
Shang Jingyan: “…”
No, this is not a joke.
Yunyongxue was wearing a big sun hat and walking on the beach with them, like a listener.
Shang Jingyan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. There was nothing unusual about his appearance, except that his mental fluctuations were slightly depressed. It seemed that he had almost recovered from the breakup.
She patted Yun Yongxue's shoulder. The other party was startled, looked up and met her eyes, then looked away, shook his head and smiled.
Unspoken understanding.
As the three of them walked, they inexplicably began to kick sand at each other and played around all the way. In the end, they all collapsed together, huddled lazily under the shade of a tree, and accused each other of taking up too much space.
"Hey, come to think of it, is the final episode of "The Forest Singer" about to be broadcast?" Ao Qingxue propped up his upper body and thought of something.
Shang Jingyan put his hands behind his head and nodded: "That's right."
They were no longer in the time zone where Shang Jingyan landed. It was midnight in the official calendar in the afternoon.
The three of them sat up slowly and gathered around to watch the projection screen.
During the period when Shang Jingyan was unemployed, "The Forest Singer" had been playing in an orderly manner.
A white elf suddenly appeared in the forest and said, "I can heal her."
Her hand pointed directly at Dr. Liang. The protagonists were secretly alert, but now they were all injured in the battle, Dr. Liang also had a broken wrist, and the opponent had a strong aura and was unpredictable. If they were to fight him, they would definitely be in a very disadvantageous position.
The elf didn't seem to care whether they agreed or not. It turned and left. The three of them supported each other and followed.
They passed through the dense woods and finally came to the center of the forest and saw the lake in the opening song.
However, unlike the opening theme, there is something in the center of the lake.
——The first thing everyone saw was actually a beautiful face, which looked exactly like the elf who turned around at the end of the opening song.
Long silver curly hair dotted with green flowers, her eyes were closed, her silver eyelashes drooped, casting shadows under her eyes.
But the problem is that this pure and beautiful face is clearly on the torso of a monster!
The black and red tentacles gathered into a sturdy tree, with its base deeply embedded in the bottom of the lake. The tree canopy blocked out the sun, and the elf's head was resting on the trunk.
There were still many remains of limbs hanging on the "branches", in varying degrees of decay, as if it were a large-scale sacrifice.
This scene was deeply remembered by the audience as a famous scene:
[What an extreme contrast... That face seems to have a soft light effect, so stunningly beautiful, but it grows on this kind of tree. ]
[Evil and beautiful, worthy of Director Shang’s aesthetics...]
The elf who led the way clasped his hands together devoutly and told them that this was their mother goddess, the Forest Singer.
The forest singer extended a branch tentacle and actually healed Dr. Liang's broken wrist. A new palm grew out from the broken end.
It's like the devil's healing power.
And then, the protagonists heard a story from the elves.
Elves are born with powerful healing abilities. They originally lived in the depths of a sparsely populated forest. However, due to a natural disaster, their secret realm was destroyed and they had to relocate as a clan.
At this time, they discovered that there was a creature in the outside world that looked similar to themselves - humans.
They like humans and like to help people. They heal the wounds and diseases of the people in the town and bless their food with the power of harvest.
At first, the two tribes had a good time.
Until one day, the mayor's child fell off a cliff and was broken beyond recognition. The mayor held his body and went to the church hoping that the elves would heal him.
The elves refused his request; they could not bring the dead back to life.
But the mayor thought that the elf did not want to help him, so he turned his grief into anger, killed the elf, and used its flesh and blood to feed his children.
His child survived, but became mentally retarded and could only imitate other people's speech.
The mayor was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he chopped up the elf's body and mixed it into mud. He then commissioned a craftsman to make a statue of the elf and placed it in the church.
Truth will come to light sooner or later, and the people in the town knew about it. But the amazing thing is that no one told the elves about it.
People discovered that although the elves possessed such great power, they were actually powerless. Their flesh and blood were more useful than their power, and could bring the dead back to life and prolong life.
How could such a powerful ability not attract covetous people?
The greed of human nature cannot be looked upon directly, and it is easy to guess what happened next.
The people in the town lost their fear of the elves and treated them as livestock. Some of them were captured and raised in slaughterhouses.
This is the reason why the protagonists see strange-looking animals along the way in the town.
Because the soul of one of their companions was imprisoned in the statue, the elves were cursed and could no longer leave the forest.
They have become twisted by curses and resentment, and the remains of the slaughterhouse have turned into monsters that roam the night, luring humans out and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge;
Their mother goddess no longer looked sacred, but had turned into a tree of flesh and blood.
For Shang Jingyan, this is not a very unusual story; it is even a bit clichéd, telling the horror and distortion caused by human greed.
But for interstellar people, it was a shock to their worldview.
Before watching, Starman: Isn't it just a compiled legend? There are so many cultural regions in the interstellar world, what kind of legends have I not heard?
After watching it, Starman said: Damn, I have never heard of this legend!
[I’m so scared that I’m about to cry! Director Shang, please compensate me for my sleep! ]
[Sure enough, the most terrifying thing is the human heart. Director Shang has told this truth countless times 555]
After the last episode was aired, this story was circulating throughout the Star Network.
This episode is the finale. The elf who led the way saw that they were outsiders, so he took the risk of not killing them and made a desperate attempt to ask for their help.
The last thing Lan Qing and the other two had to do was to complete the elves' commission.
Because the truth was leaked, the people in the town regarded the protagonists as enemies, and many people mutated into monsters and tried to kill the three.
——After sucking the blood and flesh of the elves for so long, the people in this town are no longer considered human.
Some of the trial participants who remained in the town had no time to react and had their heads bitten off by the townspeople nearby.
Lan Qing and her companions fought their way to the town's church. The white statue was knocked over, revealing a hideous layer of flesh and blood.
The tentacles popped out, waving their claws and fangs. The three of them resisted the urge to attack, but instead carefully wrapped them up with clothes.
They turned back and took it back to the forest - this was the elves' request.
All the living elves gathered in a circle and waited there. Behind them were countless twisted monsters, which were also their compatriots.
The broken statue was placed by the lake. At that moment, the Mother Goddess in the center of the lake suddenly shed tears of blood from her tightly closed eyes.
She opened her mouth and began to sing.
This piece was composed by Yun Yongxue and sung by Qu Licong.
Qu Licong, who is known as the "mermaid voice", is very suitable for such an ethereal song. The elf's singing also has no lyrics, only humming of long phrases.
The holy music flows out, grand and ethereal, with a sense of tragedy and grandeur, making people want to cry when they hear it.
In this song, the tree of flesh and blood collapsed and disintegrated, bursting into bright light, and melted into the lake.
And in the dazzling light, a figure turned around.
She is the Mother Goddess of the Elves.
She finally opened her eyes, revealing a pair of emerald eyes, smiled, and then disappeared.
But the monster fellows surrounding Elf Dream were not relieved. They roared and rushed down the mountain.
The Mother Goddess has taken away the blessings she once bestowed, and now nothing can stop them from seeking revenge and killing.
The barrage of comments was already soaked in tears.
[QAQ I don’t know why I want to cry after watching this…]
[Although Director Shang’s film is labeled as horror, his emotional portrayal in all aspects is actually quite good. So sad, the Forest Singer is not the boss, so can she still stay with Lan Qing in some other form like the princess and Maleficent? ]
At this time, the trial world began to shake.
Lan Qing took a deep breath, looked up at the sky and said, "I'll give you the answer - the real executioner... is everyone in this town. They will all be killed by their former lambs."
There was silence for a long time before an inorganic voice came from above: "The answer is correct."
Then, Lan Qing answered the second question word by word:
“We are not lambs.”
The sky was silent for a second, as if it was enraged, and it began to fluctuate violently, with countless barrages flashing by.
——Did this little girl discover our existence?
——Haha, she said she is not a lamb!
——Give up, no one can escape from the infinite heartbeat trial field.
——Her eyes are so annoying, I want her to die in the next trial field!
A strong wind suddenly blew up, and the three were swept away from the trial field. The Forest Singer officially ended.
Ao Qingxue was the first to applaud: "The music composed by our Xiaoxue is really beautiful."
Yun Yongxue touched his nose, chuckled and said, "It was Yanyan who inspired me."
After all, it came from their hands, so the three of them didn't have to worry about the plot leaving their appetite in suspense.
The sea breeze blew towards him. Shang Jingyan touched his stomach and felt a little hungry, so he said, "Let's go have some barbecue. Sister Cui said there is a kind of crab here that tastes better than blue crab. I don't believe it! I must take you two to taste this hometown specialty of mine if I have the chance."
The three members of Shang Jingyan's team were feeling comfortable, but the outside world was once again caught up in a wave of anxiously waiting for a new copy.
Apart from the game "Shanhai", "Infinite Heartbeat" is currently the only work of Shang Jingyan currently on air, and all fans depend on it for their livelihood.
Audience: It is so immoral to have to wait two weeks to watch the new episode under such circumstances! I strongly condemn Director Shang!
As usual, Starnet conducted a summary and analysis of the copy. It was extremely difficult to survive in this fourth trial field, but the most difficult part was the misleading items.
Most trial participants will have a preconceived notion that the elves are the boss.
If you don't know the truth and think the statue in the church is the root of everything, you will be doomed. You can only pass the level by returning the statue to the forest elves.
In addition to these discussions, everyone is also concerned about another issue -
It has been mentioned in the previous plot that there is a legend circulating in the trial field that if you pass five trial fields, you can pass the level.
The protagonists have now passed four trials, and only the last one is left. Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, the fifth trial field is definitely crucial.
In Shang Jingyan's personal forum, the most popular post this week is titled: [It's a bet! What do you think the background of the last world of "Infinite Heartbeat" will be? ]
Main Building: [Currently known, the first four worlds, "The Witch of the Snowstorm" is a society in the late last star calendar, where modern items such as guns and expedition groups have already appeared; "The Tomb of the Princess" is set against the backdrop of tomb raiding; "The Oil Painting Woman" is set against the backdrop of an ancient Western world; and "The Forest Singer" is also set against the backdrop of an ancient Western town.]
[So, based on the balance, will the final story still have a Chinese background? I have no idea what other Chinese horror stories can be written about in the Star Calendar! ]
I hope I can update daily in the next four days...!
