"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, don't I still have five tentacles free? You can control those few."
Faced with the car-level zombies controlled by Lin Tanying rolling around in front of him, Deafyang seemed to be a little overwhelmed, so he came up with a more appropriate plan in desperation.
It can not only satisfy the girl's childlike curiosity, but also avoid the danger of the unknown bug carrying deadly toxins.
"But you just said before that you don't like me forcibly controlling your body."
Deaf Sheep nodded and added.
"Well, so I only said that I let you control my tentacles, but I didn't say that I let you control my entire body."
"What? Control your tentacles, but not your body? How to do this..."
The car-level zombie's bull's-eyes widened again, and its ferocious face became stunned.
"Your ability to forcibly control Soldier One should be based on controlling the motor nerves throughout its body, right?"
Deafyang analyzed it calmly, his dark pupils calm and calm.
"Yes, as long as it is recognized by me, this kind of connection can be established."
The girl nodded and signaled the deaf sheep to continue talking.
"Do you know the octopus?"
Facing the girl's signal, Deafyang did not continue the topic, but mentioned a seemingly unrelated sea creature.
"Octopus...well, it has eight tentacles, its body is very soft, and it also likes to eat crabs..."
Lin Tanying subconsciously performed her usual thinking movements, but her consciousness was attached to the car-level zombie. Her habitual thinking movements like pressing her stubby fingers to her lips seemed particularly weird at this time.
"You want to say that you actually like eating crabs?"
The girl seemed to have thought about the answer and answered excitedly.
"Where does this go from here... What I want to say is that each tentacle of the octopus has an independent set of motor nerves, and the tentacles on my body are very similar to those of the octopus. It is also a tentacle with a separate set of motor nerves. "
The corner of Xiao Zhengtai's mouth twitched slightly, and he patiently said the answer.
"Since your [connection] is by controlling the motor nerves of the [recognized] creature, you must be able to control the tentacles on my body alone."
"This way, I can achieve the purpose of using my tentacles without controlling my body."
After spreading his hands, Deafyang slowly descended and stood on a relatively flat stone. He freed up all the tentacles originally used to support his body and prepared them for Lin Tanying to use.
"Is this okay? Won't it affect your thinking?"
The thick voice disappeared, and Lin Tanying opened his eyes again, curiously looking at the tentacles behind the deaf sheep.
"It should be no problem. After all, the motor nerves of each tentacle are independent. To put it in a less rigorous way, even if my main consciousness falls into a deep sleep, these tentacles will still rely on instinct to control my body. Protect it tightly and avoid external dangers as much as possible."
"So, you actually have eight brains? No, if you add the original brains you have, it should be nine..."
Lin Tanying blinked and came to an inaccurate conclusion for Deafyang's statement.
"It's understandable, but you still need to try it to understand the specific situation..."
The deaf sheep nodded slightly, looked away from the girl, and concentrated on dismantling the bugs in front of him.
He didn't expect Lin Tanying to find anything from this weird insect. He told the girl that he could control some of his tentacles simply because he wanted to satisfy the girl's desire for exploration and at the same time avoid her being in danger as much as possible.
Some are like parents taking care of naughty children and using toys to attract the child's attention, attracting the girl's attention and keeping her from contacting dangerous things that may harm herself.
This feeling is very strange. As an intelligent creature with independent consciousness, Deafyang has only known Lin Tanying for a short time, but whether he acts or thinks, he always acts in the direction of preventing the girl from getting hurt. There is no reason, it is subconscious protection. .
And all of this is due to his being [recognized] by Lin Tanying.
"I'll try it first!"
Sure enough, everything was as the deaf sheep expected. Lin Tanying's attention quickly shifted from the insect to the tentacles. His purple pupils were lightly closed, trying to establish a separate connection with the tentacles.
The gray mental vision reappeared in front of Lin Tanying, and the girl quickly found the orange light spot representing the deaf sheep, which continued to magnify in front of her.
If it were before, if you want to control the body of the deaf sheep, you only need to concentrate on entering the orange light point, and then open your eyes again, and the picture you see is what the deaf sheep sees.
But this method is tantamount to violently snatching away the control of the deaf sheep's body and forcing his mental consciousness aside.
For an existence like Soldier One that has no independent consciousness, there is nothing wrong with it.
But for a being with independent consciousness like Deafyang, Lin Tanying's rough connection would make him feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.
"My Healing Game"
This is why Deafyang asked Lin Tanying not to forcibly control his body.
The orange light spots continued to magnify in Lin Tanying's mental vision, and soon filled the entire gray world. The previously bean-sized light spots had now become very detailed, and a vague human-shaped light and shadow gradually appeared, with scattered elements inside. There are an astonishing number of neural networks, and the previous dazzling orange light comes from these neural networks.
After carefully distinguishing it, Lin Tanying found that it was indeed what Deaf Sheep said. In addition to a part of the main neural network connecting Deaf Sheep's brain and torso, there was another set of nerves from the spine down to the lower back. network.
This set of neural networks is relatively simple compared to the torso. It is divided into eight segments from the body, like a blooming lotus, stretching toward the outside.
"It seems that this is what Deaf Sheep calls the independent motor nerve..."
The girl concentrated her mind and focused all her attention on one of the relatively short nerves...
The deaf sheep who was studying the bugs carefully on the ruins suddenly shuddered and felt something entering his body.
"Don't touch that section. That section hasn't recovered yet. It's my injured tentacle."
After waiting there for a moment, Deafyang opened his mouth to stop him.
The broken tentacle, which had begun to move slightly, hung down like a mechanical arm without power.
"I marked it for you. The curled up tentacles are all free. You can control these..."
Similar to Lin Tanying's mental control ability, Deaf Sheep seemed to be a little bit better. With a simple gesture, the girl's consciousness quickly found a tentacle that could be controlled.
Not long after, three tentacles stretched out from the deaf sheep one after another, dancing in the air like seaweed.
"Snapped!"
Deafyang, who was carefully dismantling the bug, suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and a tentacle dancing in the air shot him.
When it reached his face, it left a faint red mark.
Helplessly he pushed it away with his hands. The deaf sheep knew that this was the result of Lin Tanying still adapting to the tentacle motor nerves, so he didn't say anything...
After a while, another tentacle wrapped around his forehead, forming a poop shape on his head...
"Hey, hey, I told you not to go too far. I lent you my tentacles so that you could study bugs, not for you to play with me..."
"Your tentacles are really great. They can be made into any shape and are very flexible!"
The girl's voice sounded in the deaf sheep's head, and her tone was obviously filled with excitement.
As he spoke, another tentacle shot forward quickly, quickly picking up an insect and dragging it in front of the girl.
Different from the feeling of controlling Private Soldier No. 1, since Lin Tanying is not fully infiltrating the opponent's body, Lin Tanying's body can still open his eyes, but his body cannot move and needs to stand in place like a stake.
"It seems that the gray haze on the ruins is these insects. No wonder the haze is so light..."
After the fun was over, Lin Tanying put away her childish nature and began to concentrate on observing the bugs in front of her.
The structure of this little bug's body is very simple. Apart from the fluorescent green body fluid, there are no other organs in the body. It seems that the bug appears for some very specific purpose and does not need to eat or reproduce at all.
Probably because these insects do not have these organs, they have no ability to survive independently. They can only use up the energy stored in their bodies little by little and wait for death in this ruins.
After looking over and over for a while, the girl's little patience was exhausted, and she began to control the tentacles of the deaf sheep to continuously roll up the bugs in the ruins, and started to play with them in the air.
These bugs were already on the verge of death, but after being teased by the girl, they completely burped, ending their short and miserable life.
"This is not fun...Deaf Sheep, let's go find some clothes..."
Seeing that the young lady beside him was still studying the insect corpse seriously, Lin Tanying pouted and said to the deaf sheep.
"Have you noticed? These bugs don't seem to have organs for eating..."
"I discovered it a long time ago. It doesn't even have a mouth. There is only a red tentacle in the belly. I don't know what it is used for."
"But it smells quite fragrant. It's completely different from the appearance of this kind of insect..."
Lin Tanying twitched her nose and sniffed the insect, then broke off control of the tentacles and looked around, trying to find something more interesting.
"Then the problem comes..."
Deaf Sheep frowned and said.
"These bugs obviously don't have the ability to survive independently, so how come there are so many of them, and they are still distributed in the ruins of this supermarket..."
"Obviously, they were born!"
The girl's somewhat nonsensical words stunned the deaf sheep, and she turned to look over in confusion.
Lin Tanying narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed his finger into the distance. The fragments of the ruins there were even smaller, as if they had been shattered by something powerful. The overall terrain was concave and it was difficult to see the specific situation inside.
"Let's go and see..."
Throwing the insect remains in the tentacles to the side, the deaf sheep took the lead and walked towards the sunken position of the ruins...
