"Huh? Have you encountered this kind of monster here?"
Chapter 7 Since Someone Has to Be a Hero
When Mubai and Kaisha were brought to the biology laboratory, Ryze also came.
Facing everyone's question, Kai'Sa gave the answer without thinking - the monster Teemo killed was a void creature.
A creepy void creature like never before.
"The reason why the previous Void Invasions were easy to deal with is probably related to this thing..." Recalling his pride and complacency some time ago, Ryze couldn't help but shudder.
Those monsters are not powerless to attack...
They are deliberately slowing down the pace...
To... imitate and learn from...
"We have to catch this mimic monster before it learns more."
Mu Bai lightly tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"Void creatures will use some means to transmit what they see and hear to the minds of Void Monitors. The most important thing now is to cut off their learning channels."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although it is inevitable to be imitated during battle, they can only learn the "combat form" of humans, but not the "normal form", so they are still easy to identify.
But once a mimetic monster sneaks into the city without being discovered, they can hide in a corner and observe, learn, imitate, and then transmit the knowledge to the Void Monitor.
In this way, the imitation monsters born later will become more and more like people, even more like people than people.
At that time, people will be full of suspicion and suspicion, and even the slightest malice will be infinitely magnified, eventually leading to the failure of human survivors...
"Let's seal the city..." Ruiz said in a deep voice, "On the one hand, we must find out the mimic monsters in the city, and on the other hand, we must prevent new mimic monsters from mixing into the city."
"Do you want to release the news?" Kieran asked the most critical question.
Once people know the existence of mimic monsters, suspicion will be born.
No one can say how fast the mimic monster can learn. Over time, any unreasonable behavior of anyone will be suspected.
Although Kai'Sa has the ability to distinguish void creatures, she can't always look at everyone all the time.
"Let's keep it a secret first." Mu Bai answered the question for Ryze who was still struggling.
"Use other reasons to seal the city and block the mimetic monsters outside the city."
"As for the people in the city... fictionalized a virus that does not exist, and then declared that the virus is extremely contagious, and asked everyone to stay indoors temporarily."
"Taking advantage of the self-isolation time of the masses, soldiers were sent to investigate door-to-door, searching for mimic monsters under the pretext of 'checking for viruses'."
"The mimicry monster's ability to imitate is still very limited, as long as the soldiers pay a little attention, it's not difficult to find clues."
"Before they finish their studies..."
After Mu Bai finished speaking, the laboratory fell into a dead silence.
After a long silence, Ryze nodded his head with difficulty, "That's the only way to go... Kieran, please make an announcement now, as soon as possible."
"En." The latter responded, and the clock behind him began to turn.
In just one breath, he ran from the biology laboratory to the administrative hall directly above the rune chamber.
"One more question." After Kieran left, Captain Teemo immediately raised his hand so that the others could see his short figure.
"What about the people outside the city now?"
"This..." Ryze froze for a moment, then looked at Kai'Sa with an apologetic look.
If you want to bring people from outside the city back to the city and avoid mimic monsters perfectly, you can only rely on Kai'Sa's ability to distinguish.
"I'll go." Kai'Sa herself realized this.
"I'm really... very sorry." Ryze lowered his head guiltily.
He knew that the other party was not doing well all the time, he was always looked at coldly, and he had to accept many malicious rumors and unreasonable abuse.
But every time she encountered a situation, she was always the first to rush forward without complaining.
"No need to apologize." Kai'Sa waved her hand calmly.
There are quite a few people outside the city at the moment, including logging teams, mining teams, and some retail hunters. It is impossible to give up all of them.
"I'll go too."
Mu Bai spoke suddenly, and quietly took Kai'Sa with one hand.
Under the surprised gaze of the girl, he slowly said the second half of the sentence:
"Since someone has to take the risk, I don't want you to bear it alone."
------------------------------------
At the same time, on the other side of Bandle City, in an inconspicuous small bungalow.
A man who just finished his morning work is slumped in a chair, holding a doodle drawing without any logic in his hand.
It was a masterpiece that his seven-year-old son had just finished. Although the content was a bit... esoteric, it didn't prevent him from enjoying it with joy.
"It's a great drawing..."
The man praised repeatedly, while the children beside him clamored to take the painting back with some embarrassment.
Although life is hard, as long as you have your family with you, the bitterness is not without some sweetness.
The living room here is filled with the laughter of father and son.
Over there the kitchen echoed with the clatter of women chopping vegetables.
"Emma, add food today!" The man shouted happily, "The child has drawn a masterpiece, and I am afraid that he will become a great painter in the future!"
"No...Father, don't talk nonsense..." There was a little pride in the child's feeble rebuttal.
But there was no response from the kitchen.
"Emma?" the man called again, "Emma, did you hear that?"
"Listen...see..." the woman answered.
"Huh? Do you have a cold? Why is your voice so deep?"
"It's okay...I...it's okay..."
"Really?"
The man felt a little strange, and just wanted to go over to greet him, but his son pestered him to play games at this moment, so he had to give up temporarily.
In the kitchen, the woman is still chopping vegetables.
Her movements were slow and jerky, like a rookie cooking for the first time.But the calluses on her hands showed that she was actually very experienced.
Knife after knife.
The radishes were cut crookedly.
Her finger was also cut off.
"Throw it into... the pot..." The woman's fingers were bleeding, but she continued to work as if she was unconscious.
She threw all the vegetables and the amputated finger into the boiling water.
About 5 minutes later, the man finally got rid of his son's entanglement and walked into the kitchen with a worried mood.
"Are you okay, Emma?" He said softly, "You can tell me if you have a cold. Although our family is not very rich, we can still afford some medicine."
"..." The woman turned her back to her husband and remained silent.
"Emma...?"
Still no response.
"What's wrong with you today?" The man walked forward anxiously.
Then, at a glance, he saw the severed finger mixed in the vegetable soup.
And the blood that splattered all over the place.
"Emma?! Your hand—"
puff.Before the man finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.He lowered his head in fear, and saw a shining sharp knife.
He wanted to scream, but his windpipe was severed as well.
Knife after knife.
The body was sliced into blood.
Chapter 8 is broken, it turns out that Kai'Sa will also be arrogant
On the way home, Mu Bai saw that many soldiers had already taken action.
First isolate the masses, and then investigate one by one until all the "mimics" are found out.
Although it is unfair to the masses to hide the truth, but... there is really no better way now.
The strength of mimics is not the assassination ability, but the "psychological attack".
"I'm afraid this will be a protracted battle..."
Mu Bai took one last look at the slightly panicked scene on the street, opened the door, and walked into the house.
Just like last night, several girls were sitting in the living room on the first floor.
Unlike last night, this time they didn't get jealous or rowdy.
"Honey, you're back!" Ari jumped on Mubai as soon as he saw her, her tails wagging non-stop. "I heard that there is danger outside. Are you okay, dear? Is there any discomfort?"
In the past, Ahri's presumptuous behavior would definitely cause dissatisfaction among others, but it is different now.
They all stared at Mu Bai worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Mu Bai rubbed the head and ears of the fox girl, then took off his coat and sat among them.
"Now, please listen to me seriously..."
"Okay." All the girls nodded their heads.
--------------------
About half an hour later, Mu Bai explained the ins and outs of the whole thing.
In fact, there is no virus at all, just a new type of terrifying void creature.
The Council tentatively named it "The Mimic".
"You don't have to wait for me tomorrow night." Mu Bai looked out the window and said. "I will go to rescue outside the city tomorrow morning, and it may take two or three days before I come back."
Hearing this, Syndra pursed her lips and asked in an almost begging tone:
"Can you not go?"
In fact, she doesn't care about other people, she just wants to live an ordinary and warm life with Mubai.
Although her mood has stabilized a lot during this time, she has always been "the embodiment of hatred and anger".The life and death of others is not worth mentioning in her eyes.
"I'm sorry..." Mu Bai shook his head, holding that small hand as smooth as white jade. "Someone has to do these things."
Syndra opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed.
The other girls have different thoughts, some are supportive and some are reluctant.
"Don't make the atmosphere so depressing."
Seeing everyone's slightly disappointed expressions, Mu Bai couldn't help laughing.
"I'm just going to save people, not to fight Void to the death. There's nothing dangerous, don't worry."
"Yes. I believe in you." Kaitlyn smiled brightly, showing the posture of a little girl rarely. "Just like before - no matter what time, I believe in you."
Immediately afterwards, Ahri, Akali, Seraphine, Jinx, and Irelia cheered one after another, and the atmosphere in the room became relaxed and cheerful again.
There will be no night raids or scrambles tonight.
