Doomsday Wonderland: Seven hundred and eighty-seven

...Does the planet also have a brain?

Lin Sanjiu was filled with surprise for a moment and stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react. During the few questions and answers just now, the dialect became quiet again. At this time, there was only liquid from nowhere, falling drop by drop into the puddle, and the quiet echo gradually dissipated.

Sibaan, who was standing not far in front, tilted his head slightly, revealing a straight profile of his nose. He lowered his eyes and avoided the Queen Mother: "I understand. How much nutrients do you need in order to grow up? Maybe we can help you."

No need to.

That voice, which seemed to be pressing directly on the soul, was huge and vast and filled my mind; it was difficult to describe the tone of the Queen Mother when she spoke, and it was even hard to say whether it had a tone at all——

As a steak, you should look like a steak.

As soon as he heard this sentence, Lin Sanjiu was shocked and immediately raised his head. She will never forget this sentence until her death - in her home world, it was this sentence that Ren Nan said to her that started her first day as an evolver.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

She opened her mouth and felt her lips trembling slightly. "Sba'an, it... I heard this sentence from someone before. I suspect that it can intercept some messages in our brains."

"Is it your memory?" Siba'an raised his voice slightly, and halfway through the question, the queen's voice dropped again.

...You will always be on this side of the glass, looking at other people's lives...parallel lines that will never intersect.

This sentence was very unfamiliar, and it obviously did not come from her memory; when Lin Sanjiu raised her head, she happened to see Si Baan twist his head suddenly.

After the Queen Mother said these words, there was suddenly no movement in the dialect - it seemed to have given up the attack of the purple-black long insect, and just remained silent in the dead silence; Lin Sanjiu raised his head and glanced at Grandma, the humanoid figure The special item met her eyes and he quickly understood what she meant.

The goddess looked at the brains behind the two for a while and shook her head.

She said nothing, which should mean that the Queen Mother did not take any action.

Just like that, in a cavity that was unknown how many meters deep underground, the two of them stood frozen, one behind the other, with their backs to a mountain-like brain. No one moved or made a sound.

What on earth is the Queen Mother going to do?

"You are right," Sibaan suddenly broke the silence. Different from the casual and intimate tone in the past, he sounded like he was really angry now, and his voice dropped coldly: "It can indeed touch our memories. But now, what it captures should only be some fragments."

That sentence really belongs to him.

"How did it do it?" Lin Sanjiu's nails dug deeply into her palms, "Why... is it the parasite we were infected with? Can parasites do this?"

"Have you ever heard of Toxoplasma gondii?" the blond man replied in a low voice, "It is carried in the body of cats and has no effect on the cats themselves; on the contrary, rats infected with Toxoplasma gondii will lose their fear of cats ...They will even walk past the cat without knowing how to escape."

The queen mother behind her was still silent, as if she didn't exist. If Lin Sanjiu hadn't known that she couldn't be so lucky, she would have even wondered if it was planning to let them go.

"I've heard... Do you mean that the parasite we are infected with is very similar to Toxoplasma gondii?"

"Yes, but it is much more powerful than that." Sibaan thought while replying: "Once this parasite invades our brain, it can immediately split into three new sources of infection, driving Let us spread them. It seems that the first thing to be affected and damaged is our emotional center."

"So although our rationality is still there, we are neither afraid nor doubtful." After Lin Sanjiu said this, he added: "The information about Shambhala also entered our brains through parasites, right?" ?"

The blond man nodded: "This can only be the reason."

The clearer the voices of the two people talking, the more silent the Queen Mother behind them seemed. Such an astonishingly huge "brain" was only dyed with a ravine and curved edge by the light, and most of the body melted into the darkness... Lin Sanjiu imagined that it was like a ghost sticking to the back of their heads. Go up and listen quietly to their every word.

"The parasite has probably invaded our hippocampus - where we store memories." Sibaan raised his hand and tapped his temple, still not looking back. "That's why it can touch our memory."

"I understand," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but exhale, "They somehow were able to read some of our fragmented memories and... passed them to the Queen Mother." When she said this, After thinking for a few seconds, I finally found a suitable analogy: "It's like...just like Bluetooth transmission!"

"Yes," Sibaan nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped talking. He thought for a while before speaking again, his voice a little erratic: "Yes... but I'm not as optimistic as you. I don't think the Queen Mother's goal is to read our fragmentary memories."

"You mean?"

"I suddenly can't think of what to say." The blond man shook his head vigorously, "... Its goal is very clear, which is to absorb our brains as nutrients. People who came to Shambhala one after another There are so many people, but those who can constantly fight against their own will like you and me are probably rare... It encountered such a rare situation, I think it must be brewing a new way to deal with us."

"It plans to attack our hippocampus?"

This time she finished speaking for a while, but she still didn't hear a reply from Siba'an. He seemed to be stunned, standing straight in front; Lin Sanjiu called him several times, and then he was startled as if he suddenly came back to his senses: "What did you say?"

"You...what's wrong with you?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Will you continue talking?"

"What should you continue to say?" Sibaan seemed a little stunned: "Why is the Queen Mother silent?"

"I don't know." She murmured, "By the way, what did you just say...?"

She clearly remembered that she was thinking about something just now, but as soon as she thought about it, she forgot what was going on in her mind and couldn't remember it no matter how hard she thought about it.

"I forgot." Sibaan said word by word.

Lin Sanjiu also forgot.

"This is too coincidental, this is not normal." She murmured, "Are we talking about why the Queen Mother is silent?"

It was just a conversation half a minute ago, but now it was like a piece of thread falling into the water, drifting slowly into the depths of her mind with the water waves. No matter how hard she grabbed it, she could only grab it with one hand. null.

"No, no," a hoarse old female voice drew their attention to the goddess. Her pointed and long nose drooped downward, glistening with beads of sweat in the dim light: "Have you forgotten just now? What were you talking about about the hippocampus and what memory - how could you not remember so quickly? Already?"

The feeling of "sudden realization" was like a beam of moonlight cast at night, which just illuminated Lin Sanjiu's mind, and then seemed to be swallowed up by dark clouds, leaving her only a mist.

Almost as soon as the goddess finished speaking, she forgot again.

It seems that Sibaan is in the same situation.

"I vaguely remember that we were saying that the counterattack just now didn't work." He said in a low voice, "What items do you have that can automatically attack without any operation?"

Lin Sanjiu heard Teacher Yi's voice faintly flashing through the depths of her mind, and disappeared before she could hear it clearly.

What is she reminding herself of again?

"I do," she responded hurriedly before she had time to think about it. The painter was called out twice in just a short period of time and seemed a little at a loss; but this time the goal was very clear - Lin Sanjiu pointed behind him, and he immediately hugged his bucket and brush and hurriedly He ran in front of Sbaan, set up his easel and sat down.

The light in the earthen cavity was dim, and all the details were submerged in the haze; so he painted very fast~IndoMTL.com~ He paused the brush, and a strong air current suddenly blew up in the earthen cavity, and he rushed straight into it. into the blank space of the canvas. The wind kept hitting something behind him, hitting something like a soft shell, making a sharp and sharp sound; even with the size of a queen, it was moved by the suction of the canvas - - It was probably fighting against the suction force. It was constantly being hit on the ground, and heavy tremors were heard one after another.

Sibaan did not move.

"I always feel that we seem to have forgotten something very important..." His low voice was almost inaudible amidst the sound of the Queen Mother shaking the earth. As he spoke, he glanced at the canvas with a large empty space in the center - and then suddenly froze in his movements.

"Lin," he suddenly raised his voice and pointed at the canvas and shouted, "can you see it? There seems to be a person lying next to this blank space, which is at the feet of the Queen Mother."

Lin Sanjiu was startled and squinted her eyes to look at the canvas. It's just that the painter ran too far to capture the panoramic view, and she couldn't see anything for a while; Siba'an lowered her head and looked down for a few seconds, then let out a long breath: "It's Mim!"

Oops - this thought suddenly emerged from her heart.

At this time, the queen was attracted to the canvas, and was struggling and rolling behind it, shaking the earthen cavity so much that countless dust rose up; Mim was too close to it, and as long as it was rolled by that brain The previous point, then no matter whether he was dead or alive just now, all that can be left is just a puddle of flesh and blood.

"I'll bring him back," Siba'an waved his hand, and the half-moon-shaped silver light disappeared together with the goddess, replaced by a waist-high metal cylinder on the ground. Lin Sanjiu was stunned and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, don't turn around!"

But she said it too late - when Sibaan turned around, she also forgot why she couldn't turn around.
