Late at night, in the study room of the pet shop, Lin Xue was studying the research diary in front of her with the light on.
The diary written by the man in black was not written in regular Protoss language, but in some ancient language similar to Protoss language, which is roughly equivalent to the difference between Mandarin and dialects. This brought great challenges to Lin Xue's translation work. some difficulty.
Fortunately, Vivian was right next to her, so this rather unconventional text was not a problem for her.
With Vivian's help, the deciphering work was carried out smoothly.
"...This unknown creature separated from the Fool's body was named by the Fool as the 'God-Eating Beast'. Its overall appearance is like cotton wool, and it has fluidity similar to liquid. It can hide in the human brain silently and pass through Control consciousness to influence individual cognition and behavior, and at the same time use the human body as a 'placenta' to quickly breed new larvae, and after the larvae are formed, they are spread into the bodies of other fools..."
The above is an explanation located on page 10 of the log.
Before this page, the man in black had conducted nine experiments on a fool parasitized by the God-Eating Beast.
The entire diary is basically composed of experimental instructions one by one. Each experiment is recorded with a specific number, and occasionally there is a page of summary instructions.
Lin Xue turned to the last few pages and took a look, and found that the man in black had actually conducted a total of more than 9,700 human experiments intermittently!
"Experiment No. 13...Testing the parasitic target of the God-Eating Beast, test subject: troll...Test result: Failed..."
…
"Experiment No. 14... try to let the troll absorb the divine crystal and convert it into a divine creature. Repeat the parasitism experiment. The test result still fails. The conclusion is that the god-devouring beast cannot parasitize the troll!"
…
"Experiment No. 27...Testing the parasitism of the God-eating Beast on mermaids...Test result: Failed...The God-Eating Beast cannot parasitize mermaids..."
…
Lin Xue didn't have time to look at the process in detail, so she could only focus on the results.
The first few hundred experiments of the man in black were basically testing the parasitic range of the God-Eating Beast.
The man in black patiently conducted detailed tests on the creatures of various races in the Star Spirit World, and finally came to the conclusion: ordinary creatures in the Star Spirit World that have not been exposed to any divine power will not be parasitized by the God-Eating Beast.
However, when divinity is injected into living creatures, several highly humanoid races such as humans, elves, vampires, and werewolves have all been successfully parasitized by the devouring beasts, while other intelligent races, such as trolls, mermaids, goblins, etc., have been successfully parasitized by the devouring beasts. Even if it is infused with divinity, it will still not become the target of the God-Eating Beast.
And those races that can be parasitized have one thing in common: they all happen to be races that can be extracted as skin by The Fool!
It's really hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.
So the man in black finally came to the conclusion: "The God-Eating Beasts are creatures that specifically target the Fool. They are the Fool's nemesis, and they are God's punishment for the Fool's misdeeds!"
Lin Xue didn't pay much attention to the obviously subjective conclusion of the man in black. After all, even the gods themselves were wiped out by the god-eating beasts. How could this thing be created by the gods to deal with the Fool?
Moreover, Fools are not a naturally existing race, but are transformed from the human race. In theory, all natives of the Star Spirit Realm have the possibility of transforming into Fools.
Therefore, it is not accurate to say that the God-Eating Beast is a creature specifically targeting the Fool. The more likely fact is that this thing is specifically targeting the Gods, but the existence of the Fool is itself a process of gradually transforming from a mortal into a god.
It is precisely because every Fool has the potential to transform into a god that he is 'implicated' and identified as an attack target by the God-Eating Beast.
"To sum up, the true parasitic condition of the God-eating Beast is not divided by race, but depends on whether a creature is trying to 'get close' to the gods."
Lin Xue wrote this conclusion on the paper.
From this point of view, the God-Eating Beasts are actually more like a 'blocking mechanism' for the world. Their fundamental goal is to eliminate all gods and prevent the birth of new gods among mortals.
As long as all mortals stay safe and live their lives in the star spirit world step by step, their hatred will not be triggered. On the contrary, once a mortal's behavior crosses the boundary and attempts to approach the gods in any way, they will immediately become their target. !
This is why the men in black and the Wizards Association reject fools so much, try to draw a clear line with fools, and demonize fools, because once someone becomes a fool, or even wants to become a fool, there is a chance to attract this kind of fool. Attention to scary stuff.
Lin Xue shook her head and continued to look down.
Subsequent experiments finally began to study the characteristics of the Divine Devouring Beast itself.
"Experiment No. 754, testing the parasitic pathway of the God-Eating Beast..."
"Experiment No. 1246, testing the intelligence level of the God-Eating Beast..."
"Experiment No. 4211, testing the survival ability of the God-Eating Beast under non-parasitic conditions..."
…
Lin Xue patiently flipped through the experimental contents one by one, and recorded some useful information on paper from time to time.
This was quite a complicated job. Even if Lin Xue read it ten lines at a time, eliminating a lot of processes and only looking at the conclusion, it still took nearly a day and a half to finally finish reading the entire diary.
Closing the last page of the diary, Lin Xue let out a long breath, and then looked at the paper at hand that was already covered with dense text.
At this moment, there are a total of more than 160 items recorded on the paper, all of which are useful information recorded during her reading.
Of course, most of them are peripheral conclusions, and there is not much information that can really help the current situation.
Lin Xue picked up the paper, browsed it carefully, and finally circled five of them.
"First, after the God-Eating Beast enters the body of an organism, it does not complete the parasitism immediately, but requires a parasitism process, which takes about 3-5 hours.
The entire parasitic process will be completed subtly without the parasite himself being aware of it. By the time the parasite notices it, its consciousness and thinking have been occupied by the God-Eating Beast, and even if it wants to change, there is no chance.
In addition, perhaps for the purpose of perfect disguise, the parasitized God-eating Beast will show a certain degree of similarity with the parasitized person, will have a part of the memory of the original host, and will have a personality and daily behavioral habits similar to those of the parasitized person during his lifetime. state. "
"Second, when the God-eating Beast is inside a living person, it is in a nearly invisible and transparent state and cannot be detected by various detection devices and abilities. Therefore, before outsiders dissect the parasite, it is almost impossible to tell in any way whether the parasite has been infected or not. parasitic.
But some people who are mentally strong enough seem to be able to feel that they are being parasitized before the parasitism process is completed. "
“Third, if the God-Eating Beast is directly exposed to the air, it will die quickly. It must be preserved in a special device that simulates the human body environment to keep it active.
When the parasitized person dies, the God-Eating Beast can still survive in the body of the dead person for about an hour. If the parasite is resurrected during this period, the God-Eating Beast will take over the parasite's body again. Therefore, when the parasite has a chance to be resurrected, kill the parasite. It's useless, the God-Eating Beast still exists after resurrection.
When the parasite is about to be completely killed, and there are other targets nearby that can be parasitized, the God-Eating Beast will activate its self-protection mechanism. At the moment the parasite dies, the golden cicada will escape from its shell, silently burrow into another target's body, and start again. Complete parasitism. "
"Fourth, when a person is parasitized, a new god-eating beast larvae will be born in the body every one to three days. However, there is an upper limit for the number of parasitic beast larvae that can be stored in the same person's body. The upper limit seems to be positively related to the body size. There are at most two to three larvae in the body of an ordinary human being. These larvae will be released when the parasite comes into contact with or comes close to other parasitic targets, thus completing the spread mission of the God-Eating Beast."
"Fifth and most important point: The man in black determined the maximum effective distance that the God-Eating Beast can spread - ten meters based on its movement speed and survival time when exposed to the air!"
If the distance between two people exceeds ten meters, even if one of the parasites releases a larvae of the God-eating Beast, the larvae will die before they can get close to the target due to exposure to the air.
Therefore, in theory, as long as all suspicious persons are forced to be separated by more than ten meters, the spread of the God-Eating Beast can be guaranteed to be cut off!
"Ten meters..."
Lin Xue looked at the last conclusion and breathed a sigh of relief.
The distance of ten meters is actually not very far. The problem is that if you want to fight the giant, you will probably need a lot of people to work together, so the problem of crowded positions cannot be avoided.
Moreover, because the God-devouring Beast has the ability to actively escape from the current parasitized target and parasitize other nearby targets, there is no guarantee that a person will not be spread to other people in a short period of time after being parasitized.
In other words, when actually fighting a giant, once a player is infected with the larvae of the God-eating Beast by the giant, everyone within a ten-meter radius around him will become a risk target and must be isolated immediately to ensure that the risk of transmission is completely blocked!
As for how to achieve this, Lin Xue didn't have to worry about it anymore and just published the information. She believed that think tanks from various countries would have many ways to deal with it after obtaining such detailed information.
Thinking of this, Lin Xue uploaded this information to the city owner group and invited other people to help spread it.
【Hellboy:? ? ? 】
[Bluebeard: I’m going! 】
[Emperor:...]
[Jiuyou: Lord Red Scythe, the information above...is all true? 】
[Red Scythe Girl: There is no guarantee of 100% accuracy, but there is a possibility of more than 90% that it is true. 】
Lin Xue replied.
After all, this information was provided by the man in black. It is not impossible to say that the other party wanted to deceive the fool and deliberately gave her some false data. However, the probability of this situation is unlikely. After all, if the other party dares to lie to them about such an important matter, then the Fools will definitely take revenge on the Star Spirit World crazily before they perish. What they threatened before is likely to come true, and the final result will only be It's just that both sides suffer losses.
[Emperor: Awesome! 】
[Solomon: It’s really amazing. This information is so important! 】
[Holmes: It’s too timely. Now we can see the dawn of overcoming this disaster...]
[Jiuyou: Okay, time is limited, everyone should pass on the information quickly! 】
…
Several city lords briefly marveled, and didn't have time to say much. They all hurriedly got into work.
In just one hour, this information was delivered to every player fighting on the front lines of major black holes in various forms.
…
At this time, under the black hole of the Pacific Ocean, tens of thousands of masters gathered from all over the world were working in groups of twos and threes, cleaning up the strange beasts scattered on the sea.
After possessing magic and sufficient numerical advantage, the tens of thousands of alien beasts that fell before instantly lost their deterrence and were defeated by players in teams. The number of alien beasts on the scene was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just one day, one third of it had been cleared away.
On a small island in the distance, the Emperor and the Blood Emperor breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the latest information that was being circulated in the group.
Needless to say, the importance of this information. Just determining the absolute safe distance of 'ten meters' will save many lives in the future!
Although it is not easy to keep everyone ten meters apart during the battle, at least there is room for maneuver and there is no need to worry about developing to the extreme situation of cannibalism.
In the future, even if someone accidentally enters the dangerous area, they don't have to worry about being backstabbed directly by teammates. They can isolate themselves and wait for observation. Only under this premise can players dare to let go and fight the giant.
I'm back late, the word count in this chapter is a little short, I'll make up for it in tomorrow's update.
(End of chapter)
