I don't have a system but I have a hammer

It seems that you have to ask him for the specifics...

After thinking for a moment, I got up and stretched...

"How is he himself?"

"The body is fine, but I can't get out of bed yet..."

"What about the two kids?"

"The child is fine, it's just..."

The butler's face was a little heavy...

"They are all patients with severe ichthyosis!"

……

……

Tun Tun Tun ~ every other!

Ichthyosis, also known as snake skin moss…

There are many types of ichthyosis, among which "congenital non-bullous ichthyosis-like erythroderma" is the most serious...

Compared to other children who were abandoned at birth, their birth was simply the beginning of a nightmare...

Red scales all over the body, lichenification of joints, keratinization of skin, eversion of eyelids and lips...

I need to endure itchy skin every day, unable to perspire normally, and always be careful of skin inflammation...

Not only that, besides the physical pain and torture, the most unacceptable thing for the patient is the strange eyes from the outside world, as well as the dislike and disgust from the Association of Appearance...

To sum it up in one sentence...

To live...is torment!

……

Six o'clock in the evening, underwater base, single ward...

I looked at the shadow lying on the hospital bed with a weak face and coughing twice from time to time, his eyes flickered slightly...

Beside him was the little butler who was standing still, his brows and eyes were lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking about...

Finally, I speak...

"Let's talk about the swarm..."

Hearing the movement, Shadow raised his eyelids, first glanced at the little butler, then at me, and finally closed it slowly...

"There are some words that only capable people can hear..."

Before I could open my mouth, the little butler understood, lowered his head and said, "I'm going to see dinner, you can tell me at any time if you need anything", then opened the door and left...

When the door was closed, I took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and handed it over...

"I prefer to cut to the chase..."

Shadow glanced at the cigarette in my hand, his face was slightly weird, and then he coughed twice...

"no thank you…"

Seeing that he still had no intention of speaking, I clicked on myself and said those two words neatly...

"Do you think the system host did it?"

Surprise flashed in Shadow's eyes, and he immediately stood up with difficulty, leaned against the bed, and sighed...

"Actually, there are two possibilities. One is that someone can control the sniffing beetle, either through system capabilities or some kind of mind control device. The second is that the sniffing beetle has mutated and evolved wisdom. Of course, I prefer the former ..."

I nodded, motioning for him to continue...

"Similarly, although I prefer the former, I don't think the alliance can do this kind of thing, so I guess the only ones who can do this kind of thing are the Stranger Gang, or... the lunatics!"

Seeing his swearing appearance, I couldn't help curling my lips, and then asked again...

"Did you see anyone when you were ambushed?"

Shadow frowned and thought for a moment...

"No, because the situation was too chaotic at the time, I couldn't take that much into consideration, and the reason I thought it was man-made was because the sniffing beetles suddenly appeared from both sides of the road to flank us. This kind of ambush can only be imagined by humans. Come out, it’s impossible for them to suddenly become enlightened, right?”

I stroked the non-existent beard on my chin, with deep doubts on my face...

"What I'm thinking is, if it's man-made, why did he ambush you within the detection range of the alliance? Why didn't he go outside to attack other people? Why is it you? Or, what is his purpose?"

This series of questions immediately caused Shadow to fall into silence, because it was really puzzling...

If this person is a remnant of the Stranger Gang, then he has only two purposes. First, to carry out the chicken head's spirit of becoming a god and use the swarm to obtain energy. Second, to use the cloning technology left by the priest to create his own clone. …

Of course, it is not ruled out that he may have new ideas, such as conquering the world and the like...

But no matter what the possibility is, it is impossible for him to waste time on these women and children, and it is even more impossible for him to ambush a group of little Karami...

Unless there are extremely important people among this group of little Karami, or this group of little Karami will influence him to do extremely important things, such as...

"Maybe he's not ambushing, but...blocking the way?"

Hearing the shadow's guess, I suddenly raised my head...

"How to say?"

He looked at his palm thoughtfully...

"My ability is to materialize shadows and use them for myself. Whenever I encounter swarms of insects, I will use shadows and benign substances to attract them away. Similarly, I usually use shadows to find my way... "

"But at noon today, my shadow was ineffective, because the sniffer beetle didn't appear at all when we were exploring the road. I think it should be the person who controlled the sniffer beetle who saw my shadow, so he didn't let the sniffer beetle attack..."

Hearing this, I immediately understood what he meant...

"You mean, you were seriously injured when you left the encirclement, but the man was clearly at the scene, but he didn't continue to chase you, but let you go, so you think that his purpose is to prevent you from entering the base station, so So they won't chase you down?"

Shadow nodded solemnly...

"The worst case scenario is that something happened to the base station! This guy is likely to want to use the equipment of the base station to do something, and he is afraid of delaying time, so he let us go... After all, it is always the wisest choice to kill people... "

"Also, to be honest, I haven't seen the system ability to control insects, but I can't rule out the possibility of its existence. If the Strange People had this kind of system host, they would have released the insect swarm long ago. I will wait until now, after all, sniffing mantas are much more powerful than murdering rats..."

"Similarly, if this person is a wild host, he will definitely not do such a thing, because it is not good for him at all. It is better to control the swarm to obtain source energy, so I guess this person is likely to be That world-wanted criminal with hundreds of systems on him, madman!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at the little housekeeper outside the door who was fiddling with the communicator, feeling a little depressed...

Why don't you declare your family name?

But luckily I found the answer...

Looks like I won't be able to go to Kuwait tonight...

Thinking of this, I no longer have any doubts, stomped out the cigarette butt, and slowly got up...

"Okay, then let's stop talking here. I will send someone to check the alliance base station at night. You can rest here in peace for a few days, and leave the rest to me..."

After all, I nodded towards him with a little affirmation, and I was about to turn around and leave...

"Wait, I don't know who you are yet..."

Hearing the movement behind me, I smiled without looking back, opened the door, and waved to the air...

"I... am the wanted criminal!"
