Chapter 644: Staying Alive is a Must (Part )
On the stone platform, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, as if he had merged into this space. If one did not see it with the naked eye, one would not be able to sense his existence at all.
Under the mud, the Hope worms are connected head to tail, like stars in the night sky, flashing light one after another, forming a strange pattern.
"what is this?"
Dugu Bo memorized the pattern, but didn't understand what it meant, so he looked at Timitite.
"This... I, I don't know."
Timidit was a little afraid of Dugu Bo's serious look and shook her head vigorously, because this was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Hope Worm——
Is there actually such an effect?
As the Hope worm continued to flash, strands of white light condensed into lines, interweaving to form a vague figure of a girl with Zhou Qing as the center.
"Namichi!"
Timitite's dim eyes were suddenly filled with the light of hope. Disbelief, excitement, joy, and all kinds of emotions turned into tears and moistened her eyes.
“It’s just light and shadow.”
Dugu Bo stretched out his hand to touch it, but found that his hand passed through it directly, and he did not sense any fluctuation of soul power, so he determined that it was an illusion.
"How amazing! Can the Hope worm actually save past information and present it in the form of light and shadow pictures?" Looking at the lifelike Namichi, Riko looked at the Hope worm that was swaying slightly and flashing in the mud, and was amazed.
"No, the Hope worm should only be a carrier for transmitting and presenting information. The thing that truly preserves the information should be the stone platform."
After Rico's reminder, Dugu Bo seemed to understand.
This space is a soul guide device that can take pictures!
During the time in the Holy Soul Village, when Dugu Bo went to Tang San to learn the theory of human meridians, he learned that Tang San was researching soul guides and also had a basic understanding of the principles of soul guides.
For a soul guide to be effective, the most critical component is the soul guide core array, just as the soul ring is the most important component for a soul master to release soul skills.
Then, there is the energy that can activate the soul guide: soul power.
The current situation is that Zhou Qing is practicing on the stone platform, and his soul power has triggered the corresponding "switch", allowing the Hope insects living here to autonomously form a structure similar to the soul guide core array, which can transmit soul power and thus present the relevant information stored in the stone platform.
The phantom of Namichi, with soft and gentle eyes, as if she could see Timitite, floated towards her and opened her arms.
"Namichi!"
Timitite also took a step forward unconsciously and stretched out his arms.
The two hugged each other!
Although Timitite couldn't touch Namichi, a warm feeling emerged in her heart, as if Namichi was really in front of her.
"Mom, be...well..."
"Live!"
The moment Namichi opened her mouth, the Hope worms in the mud shook even more violently, causing the mud to ripple and vibrate the surrounding cave walls. The sound waves and vibrations generated together formed this sentence.
Abyss language!
But perhaps the vibration of the sound waves could also cause other people's spirits to tremble slightly, so that Dugu Bo also understood the meaning and couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't say anything specific about it. It all depended on whether Timitite could accept it.
[Speaking of which, when did I become so sentimental? In the past, I never cared about the hardships of the weak... Is it because I have lived in the Holy Soul Village for nearly half a year that my heart has softened? ]
Dugu Bo pondered secretly, but found that he did not reject this emotion. On the contrary, it was because of this that he felt more and more like a human being, rather than a lonely monster.
No one is born a loner.
No one really wants to be alone.
[Little monster, you have really changed me a lot! However, I think it’s not bad. I will try to really supervise you in the future, and try to prevent similar tragedies from happening again...] Looking at Zhou Qing sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Dugu Bo's eyes gradually became firm.
thump!
Timitite knelt in the mud. Even though he covered his eyes with his hands, tears still flowed from between his fingers.
“I’m not a good mother!”
"When you needed my help the most, I chose to ignore you—"
Until now, Timitite still remembers the scene of that day:
[On the day I fainted from hunger——
She tasted the most delicious soup in the world in her dream!
The dried-up cells and exhausted spirit recovered in an instant, prompting her to swallow the broth brought by Dak in big gulps.
After regaining her strength, she came to her senses and asked tremblingly, "Dak, is this... a dead companion...? Or is it a special edible sea fish from the Dead Sea?"
In fact, at this moment, she was aware of what she had eaten.
Human flesh can't possibly be that delicious.
Marine fish···
There have never been any edible fish in the Ocean of the Dead.
Dak forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I gave food to all the people who fainted from hunger, and everyone has recovered their spirits."
"vomit!"
She retched, trying to vomit out the broth and meat she had eaten, but in the end she only vomited out some gastric juice.
The nutrition of Namichi's child has been completely absorbed by her body!
Or maybe, Dake was just joking...
She had some expectations, but was taken by Dark to meet Namichi.
At this stage, Namichi no longer looks like a human anymore. She is bloated like a pink mountain of flesh, and her head is gradually merging with her body.
After a yellow mutant cub was born, Dak took it in his hands without any explanation.
"and many more!"
She chased after him, but Dark turned a deaf ear to her. He placed Namichi's child on the chopping board, picked up a kitchen knife nearby, wiped the blade, and rubbed it on the body of the mutant child.
"what are you doing?"
"Isn't it delicious?" Dak ignored her knowing question and asked her a question instead.
She was startled, her legs trembling with fear, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth, realizing the cruel situation that the entire team would face on this fourth floor.
Don’t eat people——
Can't live.
And the child born by Namichi may not be a human...
But she couldn't convince herself, and could only hope that Dark would agree to her request: "Namichi's child only has one day to live, at least, wait until it dies..."
"Do you think I don't want to?"
Dak still had a faint smile on his face. "Live children are the freshest and rich in nutrients. A small bowl of broth can sustain a person for a whole day, and it can also remove harmful substances in seawater... We are out of water."
"But······"
“We are people without a homeland.”
Dak interrupted her and continued, "We continue to explore downwards in order to reach the eighth layer that no one has ever reached, or even deeper, and build our own home there! We are not poor people who have been taken in, but people who have the courage to explore! In order to achieve this goal, staying alive is a must..."
