Marriage [Interstellar]

In fact, Lou Qing already understood what it was to harvest white crystals, but he still stretched his neck to watch the harvesting process.

This actually revealed something new.

——Insect beasts not only grow white crystals on their backs, but also white crystals in their bodies.

Lou Qing's eyes widened, thinking he was delusional: "Your Majesty, there seems to be white crystal in the body of the insect?"

Yan Yu has long been used to seeing these things, heard the words and told Lou Qing popular science: "That is not a white crystal, but a kind of inferior crystal."

Lou Qing looked up, eyes full of curiosity.

Yan Yu also looked down at him with a gentle voice.

"An animal becomes a worm from the moment it is parasitized, and its body structure will gradually be transformed. First, the bones are crystallized, then the internal organs, and finally the flesh. When the whole body is crystallized, it is complete. The mission of the beast to reproduce, and then it will shatter and disappear."

Lou Qing didn't understand: "But if the internal organs are all crystallized, the parasitized animal will die, right?"

Yan Yu shook his head: "It won't die, it's just been transformed. Those secondary crystals can replace internal organs and maintain life with the unique energy transformation mode of echidnas.

This transformation process is related to the strength of consciousness. The stronger the self-awareness, the slower the transformation speed.So once an animal is parasitized, it becomes a worm.But humans can still have the opportunity for treatment. "

Lou Qing became more and more curious: "Is this related to consciousness?"

Yan Yu nodded: "Yes, the survival mode of thorn insects is energy transformation, and consciousness will affect their transformation process."

Lou Qing thought for a while: "That's why the white crystals of insects and beasts can be used as new energy sources. ——Is the white crystals their stomachs?"

Yan Yu: "..."

He really didn't think about it.

Lou Qing didn't wait for an answer, and after muttering, he looked into the fire scene with great interest.

The harvesting speed of the hunting team is not slow, and the harvested insect corpses will be put into the big pit in the middle of the fire - the "bat insect" that Yan Yu and the others were looking at before was also put in together.

Lou Qing looked at the "bat insect" that was put into the pit, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Your Majesty, did that person also grow white crystals?"

Yan Yu took a look at Lou Qing, as if he had an insight into Lou Qing's true thoughts.

"Every worm will grow white crystals. But we will not collect white crystals from humans, and we are not allowed to collect them."

Lou Qing couldn't help being embarrassed by Yan Yu's words.

But then Yan Yu's next sentence froze Lou Qing again: "But it does have cut marks on its body."

Lou Qing looked up at Yan Yu.

Yan Yu: "It was found by the hunting team in the valley of the forest. When the hunting team found it, it was already like this-not only the white crystal on its back was harvested, but also along the spine, there were multiple cuts and healing. old wounds.

Moreover, its limb muscles showed signs of atrophy, and its wings were also fractured. It was preliminarily determined that it had been imprisoned or kept in one place. "

Lou Qing immediately frowned, and felt a chill—he had heard about the story of a bear taking courage, but he didn't expect that someone would attack his own kind.

Yan Yu continued: "However, it is not possible for one or two people to trap the alienated insects and beasts. It also requires a large venue and the energy to transform the insects and beasts into white crystals."

Lou Qing understood: "This is a crime committed by a gang."

"Yeah." Yan Yu nodded, "Organized and very skilled gang. This must not be their first crime.

I'm going to have someone investigate this matter. —Turn on the purifier, it's time to light the fire. "

Yan Yu raised his finger and pointed to his ear, signaling Lou Qing to turn on the purifier hanging on his ear.

Lou Qing responded and quickly opened it.

A transparent isolation and purification layer was formed in front of him, and at the same time, a flame tens of meters high exploded from the large pit in the distance.

That flame is not red, but golden.

"Wow……"

Lou Qing exclaimed in a low voice.

The golden flame burned quietly, without the smell of burnt protein, and without the black smoke of burning fur.

On the contrary, what fluttered up from the golden flames was gauzy white powder.

Like a white sand and snow floating from the ground to the sky.

Although it is cruel, this picture is really beautiful.

Lou Qing stared blankly, his eyes closed with some wind-blown powder, and then stopped on the purification hood in front of him—the rushing powder was blocked by the purification hood, instantly lit a little light, and then disappeared.

Like stardust falling into the ocean.

Lou Qing couldn't hold back, and reached out to catch some flying powder.

The powder landed on his fingertips, and there was a shimmer of light. The light didn't disappear, but it penetrated into his skin.

Then something happened.

It happened in a split second, when the light sank into Lou Qing's skin, a strange wind suddenly blew in the distance, rolling the powder floating on the golden flame, rushing towards Lou Qing overwhelmingly.

Before Lou Qing had time to react, Yan Yu beside him had already turned around quickly, stretched out his long arms and pulled him into his arms, using his broad back as Lou Qing's shield.

But there were too many powders rushing towards them, and they were overwhelmed in an instant.

Lou Qing instinctively closed his eyes, then opened them again, and found himself in a boundless universe, and in front of him was the golden eye he had dreamed about before.

Lou Qing: "..."

Lou Qing: "???"

Could it be that he fell asleep again?

Lou Qing felt that after waking up, he had to do a brain CT.

But now, Lou Qing still instinctively looked at that golden eye, which still reflected the entire universe.

Only this time, there is no magnificent century-old history, but various fragmented pictures.

Lou Qing looked at it for a while before realizing that this was a forest sneak from the first perspective.

But what is "self"?

When Lou Qing went to the stream to drink water by himself, he saw the reflection in the water - a shiny black bear.

Lou Qing: "..."

Why is he dreaming of this?

Lou Qing didn't understand, and soon people from the hunting team appeared in his vision, and then "he" was knocked down and closed his eyes.

It went dark before his eyes, and then quickly lit up, which was another scene of stealth.

Then Lou Qing realized belatedly—what he dreamed was the picture he saw after the animals were alienated into insects and beasts.

But why is he dreaming of this?

Is it because of what you saw and heard at the fire scene just now?

Just as Lou Qing was thinking, the second scene ended, and the third picture came on—the target was the thick iron cage, a few pairs of black leather boots, and the wet stench.

fishy smell?

Lou Qing was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he was not "watching", he was already prostrate in the iron cage.

Lou Qing was dumbfounded.

He struggled a bit, but he couldn't move his body at all, and he couldn't even raise his head a little.

He felt pain in his hands, legs, back, abdomen... and wings.

Yes, the wings, the bones should be broken, it hurts so much, why don't you put medicine on my wings?

A pair of leather boots passed by Lou Qing again, Lou Qing couldn't help calling him, "Ah—"

Give me painkillers, it hurts.

Those leather boots were covered with mud and blood, and they would bleed out when they walked around.

He heard Lou Qing's voice and stopped, then he raised his foot and kicked Lou Qing hard in the face.

"Still calling me, if you have the ability, get up and bite me!"

Lou Qing heard the pair of leather boots scolding, "Disgusting thing, I only got two yuan this month, and I gave you everything for nothing. Still screaming."

The leather boot kicked Lou Qing a few more times.

Lou Qing couldn't feel the pain anymore, he seemed to be pulling away from that "self", and his vision began to blur.

At last he saw the boots open a door, and the room outside the door was brighter, and the bars of a row of iron cages could be seen.

Then Lou sobered up.

After waking up, Lou Qing found that he was still standing where he was, Yan Yu was still holding him, and there were countless pearly powders circling in the wind around them, and then turned into shimmering lights and disappeared.

What is spent in the dream is but a moment in reality.

Lou Qing took a breath, the emotions in the dream came back, his legs went weak for a while.

Yan Yu felt Lou Qing's slipping, so he quickly reached out to grab it, and at the same time lifted the younger brother from Lou Qing's arms, and put him on the steps behind.

The younger brother was grabbed by the back of the one-piece suit, struggling like a big rabbit, and he was reluctant to penetrate the clothes Lou Qing gave him, so he had to be placed obediently, and finally gave Yan Yu a hard look.

Yan Yu ignored him, helped Lou Qing to sit down, and asked, "Did you get scared just now?"

Lou Qing raised his head and looked at Yan Yu with empty eyes: "Just now..."

Yan Yu looked into Lou Qing's eyes and noticed something was wrong, so he comforted him patiently: "It's okay, just speak slowly."

Lou Qing was stunned for a moment, but suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, is it true that people with weak bodies will be summoned?"

As soon as Yan Yu heard this, he probably guessed what Lou Qing had gone through, and his expression became solemn.

"What did you see? What did you hear?"

Lou Qing opened his mouth, and told Yan Yu about the scene in the dream just now with some stumbles.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but I really felt like I was the man in the cage just now, I was trapped there, my whole body hurts, my wings were broken, but I couldn't move... ..."

"Lou Qing."

Seeing that Lou Qing's body was shrinking more and more, Yan Yu quickly interrupted him.

He looked directly into Lou Qing's eyes, and said firmly, "You are safe, and that was not your experience. So don't think about it, it's okay."

Lou Qing looked at him, and after a while slowly came back to his senses, nodded: "I know. That's right, that feeling is so real, I can't tell it apart for a while...Your Majesty, it was really just a dream ?"

Yan Yu was silent for a few seconds, but he answered irrelevant questions: "Stay away from the fire in the future. I'll send you back to rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, Yan Yu hesitated for a second, then reached out and picked up the younger brother who had been trying to squeeze this way, and stuffed it into Lou Qing's arms.

As soon as the younger brother was in Lou Qing's arms, his limbs stuck to the ground like a jelly candy, and his head kept rubbing against Lou Qing's chest until Lou Qing hugged him and gradually calmed down.

The dark aftertaste of Lou Qing's dream just now was all wiped away by his younger brother, and he couldn't help but smile a little: "I won't be able to hug me any more."

The younger brother stopped when he heard the words, looked up at Lou Qing, then turned his head and put his face in Lou Qing's arms, not moving.

Lou Qing smiled and touched his younger brother's head, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Yan Yu: "By the way, Your Majesty, can white crystals be eaten?"

Yan Yu: "...?"

The author has something to say: Does he want to eat?

It was almost four o'clock in the morning this morning, and I was woken up by my aunt in pain, for the first time in history. (Because it was too painful & shocking, I didn't know what expression to make.

Then I remembered something, as if it was time to join V, but the problem is, I didn’t save the manuscript... (Falling into thought.jpg)

Good night! OVO
