This creature extracted Zhao Ying's memory from Zhao Ying's brain and used it to better play Zhao Ying.
At this time, this memory began to attack Jiang Shan.
Devil, devil, devil, devil…
Jiang Shan stared at the crazily moving lips in front of him, but no sound came out of those lips, only the lips trembling faster and faster.
Jiang Shan felt his whole body shaking slightly. In the end, her tearing hands stopped in mid-air and could not fall down.
Then Zhao Ying's staring eyes gradually became dull, as if her soul had disappeared. Then, about half a moment later, the dissipated pupils slowly refocused, "Ashan?"
From that mouth came Zhao Ying's voice, which was weak but clear.
"Zhao Ying!" Jiang Shan's eyes lit up.
The real Zhao Ying is back.
Zhao Ying looked at Jiang Shan who was riding on her in front of her, with astonishment on her face. "What's going on here?"
Jiang Shan couldn't explain the situation at the moment, so he could only get off Zhao Ying quickly, and then reached out to help Zhao Ying up from the ground.
Zhao Ying subconsciously covered her head, but naturally she could only touch the hard helmet. She frowned: "What happened?"
Jiang Shan was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Ying's blank expression: "Don't you remember anything?"
Zhao Ying stayed there for a few seconds, her mind obviously blank. It seems that the sequelae of being parasitized by this creature are still very serious, as if a piece of the brain has been lost.
"I seem to have had a dream?" But I can't remember anything about the dream.
Jiang Shan didn't say anything when he saw this. Since Zhao Ying seemed to have forgotten what she had experienced in the fantasy world, it was just right that Jiang Shan didn't want to mention the unpleasant things to her anymore. "Zhao Ying, hurry up and see where this place is."
Jiang Shan immediately thought of business.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but look around after hearing this, and rubbed her eyes again. It was pitch black, with no light at all. What do you think?
"Describe to me what's around."
Jiang Shan quickly looked around carefully. Although she had a bad sense of direction, she walked with the fake Zhao Ying along the road and remembered things she encountered and saw relatively clearly. She quickly described them to the real Zhao Ying in front of her.
Zhao Ying thought about it carefully, and her face became more cautious: "If it's a place I don't even know, it's probably the work area."
Zhao Ying was obviously not familiar with the things Jiang Shan described. She had visited every place in the aquarium open to tourists, except for the staff area used by internal staff that was not open to the public.
"Don't worry," Zhao Ying said, "let me think about it."
Although the aquarium in front of us has changed a lot, even if the creatures here have evolved some magical powers, they cannot change the hard structure of the aquarium. At most, they can use some tricks to confuse people, such as confusing the sense of direction, disrupting thinking, etc. .
Zhao Ying immediately calmed down and carefully recalled the construction drawings that she had memorized before coming here.
Jiang Shan naturally didn't push her. The matter of waking up Zhao Ying had been settled safely, and she didn't find the rest difficult.
"I suggest we try to go back a section first." The guide also needs to be able to regain a sense of familiarity during the journey.
Jiang Shan still had some memories of her "escape" journey, and she motioned to Zhao Ying to follow her.
On the way, Zhao Ying heard that her body was "seized", and she was obviously in disbelief. She had only heard of such things in stories, and the person who had taken her body wasn't even a human, it was probably a fish?
This may not be called seizing one's body, but should be called parasitism or symbiosis.
…
After walking for a while, Jiang Shan saw the abandoned walkie-talkie on the ground in front of him.
She stepped forward and picked it up.
Fortunately, when the fake Zhao Ying was thrown away, she didn't take the opportunity to step on it a few more times and crush it. So far, the walkie-talkie is fine.
After observing for a while, Jiang Shan handed the walkie-talkie to Zhao Ying again: "Maybe we can try to contact Wei Yuan and the others."
Zhao Ying took it over, played with it a few times, and whispered: "There is no signal."
They should be far beyond the range of local area signal communication, and the walkie-talkie is useless at this distance. Besides, what can we do if we get in touch? They are already so dangerous here, and the other side is probably just the same.
"Describe to me what you saw again."
In fact, Zhao Ying has a blank memory of all the journeys and memories after entering the aquarium. In fact, she has not "experienced" any of it.
Jiang Shan told in detail this time that the team searched all the way to the end of the third area, saw the eaten octopus carcass, and the door that suddenly appeared and blocked their way forward. She intentionally omitted matters other than the illusion. It only said that after everyone entered, their brains were parasitized by some kind of creature, and they finally "awakened" out.
It just corresponds to the fact that Zhao Ying actually never woke up.
"Have you heard the regular sound of water flow?" Zhao Ying's eyes widened. It was obvious that she could not believe that there was still energy left in the aquarium.
Jiang Shan nodded, "So hopefully they have found a way around the door now."
Zhao Ying felt that it was difficult to digest the huge amount of information, so she and Jiang Shan separated to find another way to add more hope.
"I understand..." Zhao Ying said slowly after a while.
So she actually still shoulders the important task of guide, even more important than before.
Zhao Ying took a few slow breaths. Her face was actually very pale now, and her whole body felt as if it had been hollowed out. This is because the parasite has been using her body during this period, and the huge consumption has brought about terrible sequelae.
But Zhao Ying didn't express anything. She knew that there was no room for error in her current work.
Jiang Shan completely dropped his suspicions as soon as he saw the look and micro-expression. Sure enough, the familiar Zhao Ying was back.
"I guess she...that creature didn't take you back to the real starting point at all." Zhao Ying was a little serious, "You said you saw the service desk when you came in?"
Jiang Shan recalled and nodded slowly.
It was indeed very similar to the hall that came in. At least Jiang Shanna really didn't think about getting suspicious.
But now that Zhao Ying mentioned it, she felt a little hesitant.
Mainly now that I think about it now, Zhao Ying was fake and really had deep calculations step by step. Did she really have the kindness to lead her on the right path? Even if he just returned to the starting point, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the reason why Jiang Shan was so sure that was where he came in was because the fake Zhao Ying also deliberately said: We have arrived at the starting point!
Thinking about this sentence now, I feel more and more horrified the more I think about it. It was as if he said that on purpose, just to attract Jiang Shan's attention and make her subconsciously believe that this was really the starting point?
Jiang Shan suddenly realized that she couldn't believe anything.
