Marriage [Interstellar]

Lou Qing was dumbfounded.

King, what king?Why is he the king?

Probably feeling Lou Qing's shock and confusion, his voice finally cleared up, and his tone resumed its usual upward tone.

"The concept of the King of Thornworms started from Yan Yu's grandfather, but until now, no real king has appeared—including us."

Lou Qing's attention was drawn back, but he still found it inconceivable, "Wait a minute, why are we kings? I can understand Yan Yu's grandfather. Although I haven't seen him before, he must be a hero. But we..."

Barely counted as an expert in wilderness survival, isn't this thorny insect king a little too picky?

The voice seems to have been puzzled by this question, and the tone is very helpless: "As I said just now, spiny worms have no self-awareness. The concept of their social relationship started from parasitic humans. Although they already have the consciousness of having a king, but The choice of king is not as formal as humans think."

Lou Qing understood: "Random?"

Voice: "Not counting, it should be said that it happened to be us—remember that tsunami? It was the one that drowned us."

Lou Qing didn't like this topic very much, so he let out a "huh" from his nose.

Voice: "That's the lair of the 'center' of the spineworm. We are the first creatures to be swallowed by the golden sea. This star field is not suitable for the spineworm to survive, so it has been dormant for a long time, only having to rely on parasitic methods When life is maintained, it will be revived from the dormant state. Although the thorn worm can parasitize all things, every time it is revived, it needs to choose a main parasitic object of consciousness, which is selected from the group of creatures swallowed by the golden sea."

Lou Qing: "The golden sea is where my body is trapped?"

Voice: "Yes."

Lou Qing: "So I'm just lucky?"

Voice: "Falling into the golden sea is yes, but being selected is not. The thorn worm is a conscious body, and the nutrients that the parasite obtains to maintain its survival also come from consciousness. At that time, its strongest consciousness was survival and continuation. How about in a piece of fish and shrimp, Is there anything stronger than the survival consciousness of the humans who fell into the water?"

Lou Qing couldn't help but sighed after hearing this, things like fate are really hard to deal with sometimes.

"Then why did you say that we are not real kings?"

Hearing this question, the voice immediately became serious.

"Because someone stole our blood."

Lou Qing was taken aback: "What?"

Voice: "At that time, 'I' was merging with the sea of ​​consciousness of the thorn worm. I didn't want to be swallowed up. The thorn worm also came into contact with such a powerful consciousness as a human being for the first time, so the first fusion was not very pleasant, and it was also As a result, the defense of the Golden Sea is relatively weak.

Just at that time, someone discovered the existence of the Golden Sea, so they came to explore.Probably unintentionally, their exploration machine touched our bodies and took our blood. "

Lou Qing was puzzled: "Is a drop of blood that important?"

The voice sighed, "It doesn't matter to human beings, but at that time I was merging with the spines, it was not only blood, but also our consciousness. You can understand that what the machine took away was our soul , Without that drop of blood, we are incomplete-your current consciousness is brought out by that drop of blood.

At that time, I was in a hurry, and the thorn worm consciousness reached a consensus with me, and quickly completed the first fusion, and then created quantum worms and space worms, and sealed Deyuanka with thorn clouds—unfortunately, it still didn't stop that person. "

Lou Qing was stunned, unbelievable: "The Deyuan card has been closed for more than 100 years, and the space worms are all caused by you?"

The voice immediately denied Sanlian: "It's not me, I don't have it, and I am you, don't try to escape responsibility!"

"?" Lou Qing: "Do you want face?"

Voice: "You ask yourself."

Lou Qing: "..."

How does the conscious body fight?Waiting online, very urgent.

The voice snorted, confidently: "I closed it back then just to stop people, and the space worm is actually the size of the current quantum worm. Who would have known that it would be such a coincidence, it just happened that Deyuanka had a spaceship coming in and out, and it happened that the turbulent flow of consciousness in the spine was right The pilot's brain caused a little impact, and the spaceship just happened to hit the space bug.

As soon as this news came out, what happened next has nothing to do with me—it was the expert who speculated that the thorny cloud would have an impact on electromagnetics, spaceships, and energy, and De Yuanka rumored that the thorny cloud would block the signal; The beast is the evolution of the thorn insect, and it is also predicted that it can move freely in space...

I can't stop the torrent of consciousness formed by the panic and rumors of billions of people. "

Lou Qing was too lazy to argue with him: "Shut up, you."

The voice hummed twice, but no one was responsible for the beeping.

"Then let's continue talking about that blood drop."

Voice: "At first I thought that drop of blood was just lost, but when I fully integrated with the thorn worm's consciousness and the thorn cloud was unsealed, I realized that things were not that simple.

I don't know how the person who took the blood did it, but this person did spy on the habits of the thorn worms through the drop of blood, and drove a small part of the thorn worms to consciousness.This was originally something that the thorn worm center, that is, the worm king, could do.

At the same time, a strange dream language flower appeared in this golden | network belonging to the thorn insect consciousness.Look, that's it. "

Following the instructions of the voice, Lou Qing couldn't help looking into the distance, only to find that in the golden | network in the distance, there is a fist-sized dream language flower blooming. It is dark red and opaque, and cannot be compared with other It sees the world inside it like a dream language flower.

Looking down along the red dream language flower, the golden|network hangs down like a willow tree, converging into a golden thread, and at the end is the sea of ​​gold.

The voice sounded like teeth grinding.

"This network is the embodiment of consciousness, and it also represents the population of thorn insects. It is different from any dream language flower, which means that it is already a new population. It is only because of blood that our bodies exist for a day. , it cannot really leave the network.

I also tried to cut it, but there was no way - I'm not a real king yet, so I can't really touch this network. "

Lou Qing pondered for a moment: "It sounds like this Mengyu flower is not good?"

Voice: "Yes. It doesn't matter if it just simply differentiated into a new ethnic group, but its root is in the golden sea, which means it can only exist with us - we get back the blood, and it disappears from the network; it Robbing our bodies, our consciousness is consumed by that one."

Lou Qing took a deep breath, "Is there no way to be more peaceful?"

"Unfortunately, no. But don't worry, we will be victors—because we are the real kings."

This Wang Louqing really doesn't want to be.

He hates being restrained, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out to explore freely when he was an adult. After all, although Savimaso was poor back then, it was better than wandering and sleeping outside.

But when he has to carry it, Lou Qing will not back down.

"Ok."

Lou Qing sighed, "What should I do?"

The voice was not surprised by Lou Qing's acceptance, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, accepting my identity as the insect king."

Lou Qing nodded: "Okay, I accept."

But the voice was very dissatisfied: "Student, did you listen carefully? Do you remember that I said that we are now conscious bodies? You have to use your soul to recognize your identity as the worm king, not just a word of mouth."

"..."

Lou Qing was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "Then this is a bit difficult."

The voice cheered him up: "Think about it this way, if you don't accept your new identity, you won't be able to obtain the method of sharing the thornworm's consciousness, and if you don't understand this method, you won't be able to return to your current body. "

Lou Qing: "???"

Lou Qing: "Really?"

Voice: "Really."

Lou Qing: "...Then can't I go back to my body?"

The voice said regretfully; "I can't, dear, you can only get your body back if you find that drop of blood."

Lou Qing: "..."

Voice: "Besides, your current body has already begun to collapse. If you don't accept your identity as the bug king, you won't be able to use the power of the bug king. If you don't use the power of the bug king, you won't be able to make that body go back even if you go back." The body is resurrected, but becomes a living dead that will gradually decay."

Lou Qing: "..."

Hold.

The picture described by the sound was too shocking, Lou Qing just imagined it for a second before surrendering.

"Okay, I'll try."

The voice laughed with satisfaction, "Come on, it only took me more than ten years to integrate, and my consciousness was still chaotic at that time. Now that your consciousness is clear, it will definitely be faster!"

Lou Qing: "...Decades?"

Voice: "Don't worry, a day here is just an hour in reality."

Lou Qing: "..."

And can not rest assured.

Lou Qing's vision almost went dark, but when he thought about Yan Yu's possible mood now, he immediately had no time to sigh.

"bring it on."

·

It is not an easy task for a person to truly admit that he is a worm.

Lou Qing tried to hypnotize himself at first, fantasizing that he was an alienated person, recalling the feelings and memories of empathizing with the insects and beasts at the beginning...but it didn't work.

After more than ten days of tossing like this, Lou Qing felt that this road was not going to work, so he changed his mind—starting with understanding echidnas.

Although the voice had told him a lot before, in Lou Qing's mind, he still couldn't outline the complete history of the thorn worm.

So Lou Qing called out the sound of making soy sauce, and asked him to show himself the history of echidnas.

The voice was very happy: "Congratulations, you have taken the first step to accept your own identity."

Then, the sound used the way of playing a movie, and Lou Qing watched all the history of the thorn bug after it came to this star field with a rift.

This is a very, very long story, and it took Lou Qing ten days to read it.

But so worth it.

Lou Qing has a clearer understanding of this conscious body called "Acanthus", and also has a concept of the "independent and integrated" racial model of Acanthus.

But after reading these things, the first thing Lou Qing thought of was "humans and thorns".

The echidna parasitizes only for survival, but human consciousness is very strong, and there is bound to be a strong or weak position between the two—especially under the premise that the acanthus has developed a social nature.

Lou Qing asked the voice, "Accepting that I am a worm king means accepting my identity as a thorn bug and denying my identity as a human?"

The voice is just a smile: "You are the worm king, and you are also Lou Qing. The worm king will inevitably accept the will of the thorn worm, and Lou Qing also has his own life. The balance between the two requires you to find the answer yourself."

After the voice finished speaking, it made a stretching voice: "You have been mixed for more than 200 years since you slept, but I have really survived the integration period, and the rest of the work will be entrusted to you. I hope you can find a better future for us."

After leaving such words, the sound never appeared again, leaving Lou Qing sitting alone in the void, with the sea of ​​gold under his feet and the golden net of Mengyuhua around him, silently.

The author has something to say: I will not remind you of the update time in the future, because there is no outline, you have to write and think while improving, and I will remind you on Weibo when it is updated. (ID: Plant Genus_Ghost Banjing)
