Villain Awakening Plan [Quick Pass]

Chapter 157 Illusion and Reality Intertwined

The cave is located deep in the Scarlet Beast's lair. It is dark and cold without seeing the sun, and there is also the sound of regular dripping water coming from nowhere.

Logically speaking, there is no concept of time in this kind of place, but the system comes with a calendar clock, and the more you read it, the more you know that it has been nearly a week since the huntress was awakened.

And the high-ranking Scarlet Beast that led them over that day never appeared again as if it had evaporated from the world. Yue Du had reason to suspect that it had long forgotten that there were two ethnic groups it had found here.

People always forget things that are useless, and this also applies to scarlet beasts.

Not long after dinner that evening, Ji You suddenly straightened up and whispered, "They're here."

Before the words were finished, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the cave, ranging from light to heavy, as light as a cat's pad touching the ground, and as heavy as an elephant's heavy kicking.

Yue Du moved his fingers and threw the remaining tools back into the system space. The huntress didn't react too slowly. She immediately closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was still trapped in an illusion.

The next moment, several figures appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The more reading the visual sense is excellent, Ji You can also see things in the dark, they all saw the appearance of the comer, it was three high-level scarlet beasts, two of them were parked outside the cave, the only one who came in happened to be with Ji You. The kinship one.

The high-level scarlet beast wandered loosely next to a mixed race who looked about three or four years old. Before he could speak, he spotted two people in the corner and couldn't help but pause.

"Gu Lun, what are you dawdling about?" An inquiry came from outside the cave in Scarlet Beast language.

This high-ranking scarlet beast—that is, the Gu Lun it was referring to by its companions looked away and replied in the same language: "It's the two little things I picked up before. They were raised by humans, but they are very annoying. Can use."

"Raised by humans?" The other party repeated suspiciously, and then asked: "How about the potential?"

Gu Lun said: "Who knows, I think their ability to pretend to be human is not bad. I didn't recognize it at first. Maybe they have potential."

"Then take them with you."

"It's up to you to say it."

Gu Lun picked up the young ethnic group on the ground, walked up to the two ethnic groups it recognized, raised the tip of its tail condescendingly, and said in human language: "It's time for you to contribute to the ethnic group, follow me."

After saying that, it turned around and left, completely unaware that there were two balls of air behind it.

On the other side, Yue Du slowly rolled up the blanket and put it away.She stood up with Ji You, and gestured to the huntress who secretly opened her eyes, signaling her to be calm, and then followed Gu Lun's pace.

The mixed race was held under the armpit by Gu Lun, facing backwards, looking at them curiously, and Ji You glanced lightly at them, instinctively feeling scared, desperately wanting to move forward.

Gu Lun slapped it impatiently: "Why is this one so noisy?"

The other high-ranking scarlet beast laughed loudly: "Maybe it's because of its low potential. If I remember correctly, isn't this your cub?"

Gu Lun shouted: "Nonsense, things born by humans are worthy of being called my cubs. According to this statement, you still have six or seven cubs lying there, do you want to go and call them good children one by one? ?”

Neither of the two parties took advantage, and the two pairs of crimson eyes stared at each other without making a sound.

It seems that the relationship between these two scarlet beasts is not good, they make no secret of their hostility towards each other, and spare no effort to mock each other.

The more I read it, the more I feel strange.

In the past, when she faced the high-level scarlet beasts, she always had the attitude of not needing to say anything, and never really had a conversation with them. Now, standing on the sidelines and watching them, she felt that they behaved like humans. The tone of voice when speaking seems to be no different from that of humans.

Thinking about the non-human species I have seen in other small worlds, the more I read, I fell into deep thought.

Could it be that creatures with intelligence speak the same way?

Ji You noticed that she was distracted, so he gently squeezed his sister's waist, and then dodged to the side: "Don't make trouble, itchy."

Ji You asked: "What is sister thinking?"

Yue Du told her his thoughts. After hearing this, Ji You turned his head and blinked: "What about me, do I talk the same way?"

The more you read, the more you bend your eyes: "You are the most special, different from everyone else."

These words hit Ji You's point of satisfaction, and she immediately hung on her sister's arms, turning into a super coquettish big cat.

However, Crimson Beast didn't leave much time for her to get bored, the journey was not long, and it took three to five minutes to arrive.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Gu Lun left the mixed-race race aside, and the red-eyed kid rolled over and sat up, looking very dazed.

Yue Du raised his head, and in front of them was a wide and empty cave, which was completely different from the cave where humans were kept in captivity.

There is a huge red crystal in the middle of the cave, shaped like an upside-down cone, with a smooth and smooth circular cut, which is as big as a small round table. It is not a natural thing at first glance.

The crimson fluorescence it emits even illuminates the entire space.

"Let the youngest one come first," said a scarlet beast.

Gu Lun responded, and stretched out his claws to lift himself and the human woman's biological son to the circular section. The child tried to get up, but failed. It was imprisoned in place by something and could not move.

The crystal didn't respond at first, but after a few seconds, strands of deep black mist spread from the sharp cone at the bottom, and condensed into a small sphere after touching the circular cut surface.

Gu Lun said arrogantly: "I think it has good potential, doesn't it?"

Scarlet Beast, who was arguing with it earlier, sneered and didn't answer.Gu Lun ignored it, and turned to the little boy, "How do you feel?"

It uses the scarlet beast language.

But the mixed-race ethnicity who was still ignorant just now understood, and replied respectfully in the same language: "I'm fine, father."

Gu Lun: "Can you hide your eyes?" After getting an affirmative answer, it said again: "Show us your ability."

The Cub complied, and its eyes gradually turned a normal dark brown, like a human's.

At the same time, Yue Du felt slightly disturbed, and a violent impulse surged up for no reason, as if there were several mosquitoes buzzing in his ears.

Ji You covered her eyes and said, "Sister, don't look at it."

After cutting off the line of sight, the feeling of annoyance really weakened, almost negligible.Yue Du rubbed his ears, thinking: Mental interference.

This is one of the many abilities awakened by human beings under the influence of spiritual rendering. As the name suggests, it will interfere with the human spirit, and even cause death in severe cases.

This kind of ability is not uncommon. To Yuedu's surprise, the mental disturbance of a three-year-old child can also affect her, which can already be called an outstanding talent.

A smile crossed Gu Lun's pale face: "That's right, you can stop now."

The ethnic group stopped immediately like a dog that heard an order. It raised its head and stared at the blood father without blinking, with a look of admiration.

At this time, it is completely different from just now.

Yue Du looked at Shang Ji You thoughtfully, and understood each other's meaning.

Obviously, this is the key to Scarlet Beast leaving the half-blood offspring in the dark cave, ignoring them, speaking contemptuously, and being sure that these children will be loyal to the clan and obey their orders.

There must be something wrong with this red crystal.

Judging from the results just now, the so-called "potential" of the brat should be pretty good. Gu Lun put it down on the round surface, and then stared at Ji You.

"Come on, put your hands on this," it said in a sort of bewitching tone. "You will know that the talent judged by humans is not your limit, and our resonance stone can make you stronger."

The price of being powerful is probably being brainwashed. Having said that, if this thing can really make the host with a ceiling of strength stronger, then it will be considered powerful.

Neither of them had the idea of ​​testing the stone with their own bodies, so they used illusions to fool them.In Scarlet Beast's eyes, they stepped forward to touch the red crystals one by one, their awakening potential was only slightly lower than that of the cubs, and they were also successfully brainwashed.

Ah, it's not quite accurate to say that it's brainwashing, they say "infused with the great will of the race", "the blessings of your ancestors will be upon you".

Ji You commented: "You can really fool me."

Yue Du thinks that the host's ability to fool is not bad, but the host is not so shameless, so he is slightly better in conscience.

After all the hype, Gu Lun finally stated the purpose of cultivating mixed races.

"For the glory of the ethnic group to last forever, I want you to sneak into the human lair and wait for an opportunity to kill those who disturb you." Gu Lun's hoarse voice sounded treacherous and terrifying: "You two grew up in the human lair, and you know how to I am very relieved to deal with humans."

These words were addressed to Yue Du and Ji You, and then changed the subject to the mixed-race kid: "But my child, you are different, you don't understand the cunning and suspicion of human beings, so you must not speak our language outside, You have to learn to talk in a human way. You can only return to the group when you have completed your mission."

The lairs of human beings mentioned by Scarlet Beast are naturally various strongholds.Hearing these high-sounding words, especially the description of human beings' cunning and suspiciousness, Yue read his forehead and said: "The scarlet beast really spares no effort to beautify its own group."

But Ji You said meaningfully: "Maybe it's not beautification, they think so themselves."

The more I read it, the more I thought about it, and I understood what the host meant.

From the perspective of human beings, the scarlet beasts that invaded from other worlds invaded their homes and preyed on their compatriots were sworn enemies that must be eliminated.

From Scarlet Beast's point of view, human beings are obsessed with illusions, and are kept in captivity like chickens and ducks. One day, they suddenly flee together to build a nest, and even hunt and kill their former owners. This is like pigs, cows, chickens and ducks awakening themselves. It is unbelievable that consciousness escapes from the cage and kills in groups, and it must be suppressed.

Yuedu can understand Scarlet Beast's logic, but it doesn't mean she agrees with it.

"Human beings are the original masters of this small world, not to mention human beings are intelligent, more intelligent than most scarlet beasts. The invaders are scarlet beasts, and they are the ones who don't care."

It is immoral for one intelligent species to keep another intelligent species in captivity for food, for whatever reason—at least not in accordance with the morality of the universal conception of human beings.

Almost at the same time when Yue Du's voice fell, Ji You was all over his face, "Sister said it really well", and applauded in agreement: "Sister is right! I think so too."

The more I read, the more I am not sure: "I know you have no special feelings for human beings, and I also know that regardless of morality and personal bias, the entanglement between humans and scarlet beasts is nothing more than the law of the jungle, and there is no so-called wrong party. Ah Jiu, don't be deliberate. Agree with what I say, and occasionally disagree on a matter, it doesn't matter."

Ji You smiled, with an unprecedentedly serious expression: "How could it be, my sister's thoughts are my thoughts, and there may be other vague thoughts, but it will not be about the conflict between scarlet beasts and humans."

She took Yue Yue's right hand, let it stick to her face, and rubbed it affectionately.

"I will always be on my sister's side."
