Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 319 Two Options
The Red Nautilus is the place with the smallest geographical area among the Twelve Realms in the center. Except for the sea area that covers half of the planet, there are only four human regions.Among these four large regions, three are closely adjacent to each other and share the same vast continent; only the last cyber region, which hangs alone in the ocean, became the place where Lin Sanjiu came to the Red Nautilus Realm. the foothold.

Although she knew that her luck had never been very good, the long journey from Howling Cape to the free zone still made her sigh.

Looking out of the window, she was tired of seeing the dark blue and unchanging sea.A few days ago, the spaceship flew over forest-like rock clusters, high and low volcanoes, and large expanses of crimson red nautilus shells—since then, there has been a boundless sea.

The past few days felt so long, probably because she had to keep an eye on the Queen of Soul all the time.

Unexpectedly, it has been very quiet in the past few days, without any resistance, and it didn't even try to confuse Zhang Huabi or Captain Malone with illusions—but the more it was like this, the tighter the strings in Lin Sanjiu's mind became.

Compared with when he first boarded the ship, AYU's stomach is much smaller, and it seems that the soul inside is slowly returning to its original state.But after all, it is wearing a piece of human skin, and the stretched skin has no support, and it is loosely piled on the abdomen, which makes people even more afraid to look at it: every time Malone comes in to deliver food and water, Eyes are always on top of everyone's heads.

According to the Queen of Soul, after breaking away from the shell, the soul family will return to its original size; it's just that the larger the original volume, the longer the recovery time.After the red nautilus was sunk by humans, they had to lie dormant on the bottom of the sea for many years before they finally came ashore again—calculating the days, it was probably exactly one or two months before Lin Sanjiu was sent.

For the soul, this time point is really unlucky.

"Could it be that you are crawling all the way from the sea into the city like worms?" Lin Sanjiu asked with great interest, "Come on, let's talk about it from the beginning."

The Queen of Soul was silent for half a second, and she couldn't tell what kind of attitude it had through the human skin: "...Of course not. When we are close to the sea surface, we can release chemical hormones into the air. Basically, ordinary carbon All basic organisms will respond to this hormone, and the most common one is coma."

Speaking of this, it couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Huabi, then at Lin Sanjiu.

In fact, as early as when she missed her hand on the reef, the Queen of Soul had already secretly sprayed this chemical hormone once at them-it took a lot of time for this hormone to secrete and accumulate, and what it sprayed out was already the past one. The amount accumulated in the month was enough; but Lin Sanjiu's mouth and nose were just like decorations, without any notice, he still chopped off its lower body without being affected at all.

Unlike Zhang Huabi, Lin Sanjiu doesn't have any special items to defend herself, but after all, she has suffered a loss before and learned a lesson, so when dealing with souls, she has already activated the [Protective Force Field] to "wrap her head and face". "Living.

After the battle at Kisaragi Station, not to mention her manipulative ability has greatly improved, and her consciousness is also slowly increasing every day due to her growth-type physique. Right now, it is already surprisingly abundant—in fact, since entering the spaceship, her [protective power] Field] never closed again.

It's just that judging from Malone's reaction, the Queen of Soul doesn't seem to have made any small moves.

"You keep talking."

It is obviously a creature that does not need to breathe, but the Queen of Soul still opened her mouth when she heard the words—through the mouth, she could vaguely see something that does not belong to humans, flashing past from the depths of "Ward"'s throat.

"People who were unlucky and inhaled hormones were naturally put on by us... Carriers like AYU were the first to put on human skin. After they sent more compatriots into the city, Find more people to wear them, and from now on, they will be active in human settlements, building nests, and collecting supplies..."

"Are all of your more than 1000 souls in the Cyber ​​Zone?"

"No... the number of carriers is too small, only seven, and the places near the coastline are not populated...so we can only enter in many batches; some are in the cyber zone, but most of our compatriots are still in the seabed."

"I once saw one of your meat cavities... filled with unconscious people, what is that for?"

The queen paused, as if she was very unwilling to continue talking.But one important reason why Lin Sanjiu took AYU and another group of souls with him so hard was to blackmail them with each other—if the Queen of Souls refused to speak, she would cut open AYU and kill a soul; If it's not true, or if it doesn't match up, kill another soul.

Sure enough, it still opened its mouth: "...these are all preparations for future compatriots. No matter how powerful we are, we have limitations. We can't casually stun human beings on the street...there is our reserve Warehouse. You have the smell of our reserve warehouse on your body, which is why AYU will follow you."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help smelling himself, but couldn't find any smell.She frowned and asked, "Reserve warehouse? I think many people in it are almost out of shape due to long-term coma. How can you use it?"

The Queen of Soul said calmly: "Use what can be used, and forget what can't be used. Anyway, there are always new humans sent to the storage warehouse."

That is to say, if it wasn't for him, then the Satyr and the young man in the Chinese tunic would probably die as "spare consumables"... Lin Sanjiu tried his best not to reveal his inner emotions, and asked Said: "When in a coma, will human beings fall into hallucinations?"

The Queen of Soul nodded.

"So... when did I pass out?"

The queen can know the state of all souls, so she should be aware of Sajie's actions after thinking about it—as expected, she moved her body and said: "You have dealt with souls alone, and you have been infected with our scent but have not been stunned, so As soon as I walked out of that path, I was noticed by another compatriot... Sage is one of the souls responsible for transporting you."

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback for a moment—she never expected that she would fall into a hallucination from such an early age—she still remembered that she planned to go back to the business district to look for the boy who led the way, but she never expected that even Even if she couldn't reach the underground market, she was already unconscious!
The Queen hadn't finished speaking.

"Before entering the crack in the ground, you were awakened once; then Sage led you with an illusion, allowing you to walk step by step into the storage warehouse under the crack."

...In this way, many places actually make sense.

The Satyrs and the others did not act together with her. Judging from their physical condition, they were thrown into the meat cavity several months before Lin Sanjiu.And the reason why she was able to see the "neighbor" in the flesh cavity in the illusion, and even saw the "leader" Sage, was because her consciousness was trying to remind her that everything around her was not right.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly shuddered—since she died once in Kisaragi Station, she had rarely felt this feeling.

Zhang Huabi sat quietly by the side, with a somewhat dazed expression.She didn't know many things, so she was confused, but Lin Sanjiu didn't intend to tell her everything, so for a while, the spaceship fell into a strange silence.

This brief silence was interrupted by a "squeak".

Malone poked his head in and met four pairs of eyes.He coughed hastily, and pushed the door open with his shoulder, revealing a tray in his hand: a small pot of water with two cups next to it, a small plate of dried meat and a few pieces of cake.

As the only crew member on board, the captain had to do everything.

Although Lin Sanjiu gave the captain a lot of red crystals for drinking water, the number of times Ma Long came in was too frequent; today is not halfway through, he has already come twice, the last time he brought some dried fruit.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lin Sanjiu wanted to say something, but felt that she might be overwhelmed; just as he stretched out his hand towards the kettle, Ma Long hurriedly said a few words "I'll come, I'll come", and then he was courteous He poured her a glass of water.

The water waves in the glass are clear and flawless, and it looks refreshingly cool.

The two souls on the opposite side sat expressionless, and didn't even glance at the drinking water; since just now, Zhang Huabi has been looking out the window, as if not very interested.After thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu took a sip of water.

It tasted like ordinary clear water, with a slightly rusty taste, and it slid into her throat briskly.

After waiting quietly for a while, there was nothing unusual.

It seemed that she was indeed overthinking——Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and withdrew her consciousness from the water.

"This cake is not bad, do you want to try it?" Ma Long stayed a little longer this time, and said with a smile: "This is brought when passing through Thebesas, and it is a specialty there. Bring it on..."

For some reason, Lin Sanjiu found it difficult for him to say "no need for now".

After a pause, she finally picked up the cake—the egg-yellow cake looked crispy and burnt, exuding a faint strange aroma, which made people quite appetizing, but a piece of cake was bigger than a human head , not easy to hold.

While tearing off a corner with his hands, Lin Sanjiu turned his head and said, "I see, you go back first—"

Before she could finish her sentence, her vision suddenly blurred.

The dense dark gray smoke steamed from nowhere, it seemed to be slowly, but it covered the entire space in the blink of an eye—Lin Sanjiu was startled, just jumped up, and found her vision There is only a deep and shallow, fog-like smoky gray in the sky.

The fog was so thick that when she lowered her head, she couldn't even see her own chest; she raised her hand to her eyes, only then did she realize that the turbulent mist was constantly gushing out from the gap in the cake.

As the smoke floated up and down in front of her eyes, she could even see the tiny particles in it; after only two breaths, she already felt that her nasal cavity was burning and uncomfortable.

【Smog Essence】

As the name suggests, this special item is the essence extracted from the thick smog collected over the years; in addition to blocking sight and causing serious health problems, it can also be stored in various items and released When doing this, strive for a dramatic effect that will throw you in the face if you don't pay attention.

Ma Long would not attack him suddenly, this is definitely the work of two souls—Lin Sanjiu just cursed secretly, and immediately felt a pain in his eyes, as if he was scratched by something, and couldn't stop Tears.The effect of the smog essence was immediate, but within two seconds, her nose, mouth, and eyes felt as if they were buried in the sand.

Just before she couldn't help closing her eyes, a black figure suddenly stabbed over from her side—at the same time as her hairs flicked, [Consciousness Scanning] suddenly opened, and Lin Sanjiu twisted it dangerously. He turned around, dodging a knight's lance in Malone's hand.

"Zhang Huabi!" Steady her feet, she couldn't help but growl. "Look at them!"

There was no response in the thick fog.

Zhang Huabi's shadow seemed to be swallowed by thick fog; she didn't seem to notice anything wrong, she was still sitting quietly - if Lin Sanjiu could see, she would have found that the fat girl had just beaten her A bored yawn.

The knight's spear protruded from the side like a snake, Lin Sanjiu's bone wings moved slightly, and immediately responded like a living thing, holding the spear.

In fact, in terms of combat power, Ma Long is really not much stronger than the Soul Clan.With a little brainstorming, she could think of at least five or six ways to deprive him of his mobility; however, what really restrained Lin Sanjiu was neither the spaceship sailing high in the sky nor the two souls lurking in the dark— —

It was because she couldn't do anything to Malone.

【Liujiushengqing】

I heard that there is a psychological phenomenon that the more you see a face, the more beautiful you think it is—maybe this is the theoretical basis of love with each other?Thanks to this kind of human psychology, many single dogs have been saved.

A middle-aged man with no money and no charm developed this ability out of necessity; he thought that he would be able to marry a wife from now on, but he did not expect it to be used on his enemy.

How to use: Be sure to let the target see you several times.The more times you do it, the stronger the other party's affection for you will be, and the less they will attack you.

In order to display this ability, Ma Long has obviously been preparing for several days - Lin Sanjiu has seen him two or three times a day on average in the past few days, so once he hits the trick, the effect is immediately obvious: once she floats With the thought of fighting back, her hands immediately hung down as if the bones had been taken out, without any fighting spirit.

In the dense fog, there was a low rustling sound from the direction of the two souls.Lin San thought about it, and only heard a "dang", the spear hit her bone wing again - at the same time, a very light "click", was quickly caught by her ears .

Almost in the next second, she realized what it was.

That was the sound of the black leather rope slipping from the Queen of Soul.

The two souls didn't expect Ma Long to defeat her, all of this was to create a chaos that they could take advantage of—[The Slave's Binding Rope] was originally something that Lin Sanjiu snatched from the Garden of Eden. I don't know its correct usage, and I don't have the matching tools; it's already a bit unexpected to be able to bind the Queen of Soul for such a long time.

It seems that we can't do without that... Lin Sanjiu thought a bit reluctantly.Immediately after she gritted her teeth, just as a thin shadow appeared in her hand, she immediately slapped the ground heavily with her backhand.

"Stop it!"

Since this action did not cause any substantial damage to Malone, [The Reality of the Queen of Soul] was successfully released from the [Card of Nostradamus], quickly engulfing the owner of the knight's spear.

This was Lin Sanjiu's first time using the ability of the Soul Clan. She held her heart and waited for a few seconds, and finally found that the smoky smoke around her gradually dissipated - behind the thick fog, Ma Long had a pale face, I don't know what kind of "reality" I saw, panting, slowly slid along the wall and sat on the ground, and the spear fell down with a "clang".

The Queen of Soul, who had once again earned her freedom, was standing not far away, watching her quietly.

Due to the lack of legs, the way it "stands up" is so weird that it makes one's scalp tingle - but Lin Sanjiu's eyes only paused on it for half a second, and then turned to AYU beside the queen.

AYU is standing next to a window, outside the window is the vast sky and sea.

Lin Sanjiu exhaled slowly.

She doesn't know the working principle of this spaceship, nor its speed and altitude; but from the common sense she learned before the end, once this window is broken, the only one who can survive is the soul.

Under the tight stare of the soul, she smiled, then pulled the single sofa that was knocked over by her just now, and sat down quietly.

As the Queen of Soul was obviously taken aback, AYU behind her immediately put down her hands.

"You... have been struggling for so many years, mainly to find a body to reproduce the next generation, right?" Lin Sanjiu deliberately slowed down his tone, asking each word knowingly.

"However, no matter how many places you change, you still can't find a body that allows you to reproduce." She nodded to the Queen of Soul and said, "And the reason why you have taken a fancy to me is because I am different from ordinary people and have a precious body." Modifying genes...and, I also successfully modified my own body."

When the Soul Queen's eyes fell on the bone wings behind her, Lin Sanjiu was almost sure that she saw a flash of light.

"But haven't you ever thought about how I reformed myself?" She tilted her head and asked softly.

This question really made the Queen of Soul speak up.

"……what have you done?"

"Because I know someone." Lin Sanjiu's smile remained unchanged, "She personally created a kind of intelligent creature that has never existed in this world—and this kind of creature can also mate and reproduce."

Whether the "sages" can reproduce, only the ghost knows - but this does not prevent her from continuing: "Out of friendship, she also transformed my body... You have also seen my bone wings, the power is not bad, right?"

People in this world who are willing to believe that Nu Wa made weapons for the enemy have probably not yet been born—the Queen of Soul is no exception, her eyes staring at Bone Wing did not move, and it took a long while before she finally spoke.

"What do you mean?"

"What I want to say is actually very clear." Lin Sanjiu's voice was clear and cool: "The first option is, you continue to stand there, and then I kill you before you break the window; the second option is, Come back obediently, sit on this sofa, and think about what you should ask after meeting my friend. What do you think?"

…When the free zone was far away, the Queen of Soul was sitting on the single sofa, looking motionless at the human world outside the ship.
