Looking at Bai Donggu who kept talking in front of him, 659 understood that this hunting incident should be the reason why Ye Shuihan suddenly lost control.
"Because the team members had too much trust in Ye Shuihan's abilities, and because Ye Shuihan had never encountered a creature that could block detection since he became a second-level ability user, everyone relaxed their vigilance."
"There were huge casualties. In that incident, the team of ability users were almost wiped out."
Hearing this, 659 seemed to have grasped some clues, and the memories in his mind emerged very cooperatively.
Although the timeline of No. 659 he comes from is not the same as the timeline of this red moon world, the time points at which many events occurred, including the characters involved in the events, are similar.
For example, the hunting incident that Bai Donggu is describing also happened in the 659 timeline, but 659 did not travel through time and space to see it on the spot, but learned about it through historical data recorded by previous generations.
Just like modern people read ancient history and understand that King Zhou was a debauched, cruel and tyrannical king. But to the extent of his debauchery at that time, future generations can only rely on the four words "wine pond and meat forest" to make associations. .
Similarly, in the timeline No. 659, 659 also knew that humans during the Great Cataclysm did indeed conduct a campaign against the second apostle, but he could only use his imagination to describe the specific situation through the words recorded in the data.
After all, the former is a long time ago, while the latter is still in a chaotic era. It is a blessing that written records of history can be circulated. As for the details, who can delve into them?
"Tell me more about it."
The four words came out of 659's mouth directly and without any euphemism.
After all, in 659's eyes, collecting as much information as possible is the most important thing. He does not intend to pay too much attention to this off-center timeline.
However, Bai Donggu was not aware of the thoughts in 659's mind. Although he was already a fourth-level ability user, Bai Donggu still used the same methods as ordinary people when it came to insight into people's hearts.
That is, observe words and colors.
During the questioning process, 659 looked calm and his expression did not change significantly, so Bai Donggu didn't think much about it. He just thought that the boundary breaker in front of him was a straightforward person and continued to talk.
"Just like the name of the second apostle, the Soul-Splitting Demon Envoy, this beast can split its own spiritual power without limit, and parasitize the split spiritual power on other creatures."
"Since Ye Shuihan did not detect the existence of the second apostle before, when the capable people in the team discovered that something was wrong, a large number of mental parasites had split apart from Andre's body and parasitized those in the team. On the capable person.”
"These mental parasites can confuse the host's mind for a certain period of time, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the host's body."
"Although this result is not permanent, our team still suffered a huge loss!"
"Since the team of ability users entered in separate groups, when the parasitism occurred, Ye Shuihan, the team commander, did not detect any abnormalities."
"After all, in his eyes, the mental bodies of his teammates are all his own people that he can rely on, so while the overall number has not changed, Ye Shuihan did not set up defenses against these parasitized ability users."
"And it was precisely because of this that the subsequent tragedy occurred."
"Of the teams of ability users that went to encircle and suppress them, there were twenty teams of ability users, with a hundred people in total. Half of them died, and more than half of the remaining fifty people were injured."
"In the end, less than twenty people were left with intact bodies and able to move."
Speaking of this, Bai Donggu seemed to recall the heavy casualties at that time, and the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.
"Fortunately, the second apostle Andre's agility and combat effectiveness are not very strong. Even though there are less than twenty ability users, he was still successfully killed."
Hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on 659's face.
"now that
Andre has been successfully killed by the ability user, so what happened to Ye Shuihan? "
As Bai Donggu described previously, if the team of capable users finally killed the second apostle Andre, Ye Shuihan would not be like this.
At best, he is living in the shadow of improper command, constantly waking up from recurring nightmares, and suffering.
Or maybe a teammate who was parasitized by a mental parasite was stabbed in the back and his limbs were broken.
But Ye Shuihan's body seemed to be intact except for his brain, which was not working properly.
Moreover, Bai Donggu also said that the control of the host by the mental parasite Andre split is not permanent. Even if Ye Shuihan had been parasitized, he should have returned to normal by now. How could he be here? What about the sudden madness at the entrance?
"Because Xiao Xiao..."
Bai Donggu sighed heavily and slowly told the reason why Ye Shuihan became like this.
"After restraining Andre, in order to determine whether he had completely lost his vital signs, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was just an ordinary team member at the time, volunteered to step forward to test."
"Originally, this job was not her turn, because as an ability user, Xu Xiaoxiao's time in the team was too short. If it weren't for her outstanding battlefield performance and the powerful abilities she gained after being promoted to an ability user, the people who were hunting Andre would She wouldn’t be on the to-do list at all.”
"Due to the heavy losses of the esper team at that time, and because the superiors were eager to know whether the second apostle Andre was completely killed, Xu Xiaoxiao was temporarily assigned by Ye Shuihan to investigate."
"Detection? How to detect?"
The confusion on 659's face began to slowly fade away, and he subconsciously asked.
"Due to the special nature of the second apostle Andre, he can block Ye Shuihan's mental detection, so the safer long-distance mental detection has completely lost its effect. If you want to truly understand Andre's condition, you can only step forward. Check."
"Who knew that the beast Andre pretended to be dead just to let people get close to him? When Xu Xiaoxiao approached Andre who was covered by the hunting net, a blood-red tentacle shot out quickly from the monster's body. , pierced directly into Xiao Xiao’s stomach.”
"After faking his death and then violently hurting others, it seems that Andre's intelligence is no less than that of ordinary people..."
659 spoke calmly.
"Not only is he no less intelligent than an ordinary person, he is almost as smart as a demon."
The pattern composed of black and white fingers changed again, and Bai Donggu's hands clenched, forming two fists in front of him.
"The ability users present were extremely anxious when they saw Xu Xiaoxiao being sneak attacked by Andre. Even then, a person with abilities known for his speed stepped forward quickly and snatched Xu Xiaoxiao away from the blood-red tentacles."
"But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, something even more terrifying happened."
Bai Donggu's fists trembled slightly as he spoke word by word.
659 looked at the man at the other end of the table and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That ability user who was known for his speed, his name was Wang Zidan. Before he could bring Xu Xiaoxiao back to the team, his head was crushed and he died!"
"Xu Xiaoxiao was parasitized by the spiritual parasite that split from the second apostle?"
659 asked tentatively, glancing at the little girl beside him from the corner of his eye.
The girl still stayed there quietly, making no sound or making any movement.
"No, the people in the team thought so at first, but it's not the case."
"After Xu Xiaoxiao squeezed Wang Zidan's head, he didn't immediately attack his partner beside him. Instead, he stood there and started taunting."
"You must know that the host parasitized by the mental parasite is in a very chaotic state. Although the mental parasite can control the host's motor nerves, it is unable to say a normal word."
"Because the mental parasite was originally split from Andre and does not have the ability to be independent and complete.
sense of autonomy. "
"It's Andre's body that controls Xu Xiaoxiao!"
"Changing souls?"
The relaxed body suddenly became tense at this moment. 659 seemed to have heard something extraordinary and sat upright.
In fact, what Bai Donggu described previously, Zhang Heng-659 had also seen in his own timeline. By reading relevant information, 659 not only knew the characteristics of the second apostle, but also knew about the other twelve apostles. Also understand.
The reason why Bai Donggu was not interrupted was to find out the differences between the same event at two points in time.
To put it bluntly, this feeling is a bit like playing a clearance game with a high degree of freedom. At the same time point and the same task, there may be various different clearance methods, and what Zhang Heng-659 can do , which is to collect as many of these "customs clearance methods" as possible, record them, and find the most appropriate one.
In Timeline No. 659, the record about the second apostle Andre is as follows.
"The team of capable users successfully killed Andre, the soul-shattering demon, despite suffering heavy casualties. However, one of the team members was parasitized by Andre's residual mental power during the close investigation. He lost his mind on the spot and was killed. The remaining ability users will be killed on the spot."
"It seems that the facts are not as recorded in the data. The team member who was close to the investigation should be controlled by Andre's body, not a split mental parasite."
659 murmured to himself, but his eyes glanced at Bai Donggu in front of him, signaling him to continue.
"How do you know it's a soul change... That's right, you are a world breaker, so it's reasonable to know this..."
A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Donggu's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
Although he didn't have much contact with the World Splitter, as a mid-level general, he still had access to certain secrets.
"Go on, tell me everything you know. Maybe this will be crucial information."
Ignoring Bai Donggu's surprise, 659 spoke, with a hint of urging in his tone.
"good."
Bai Donggu nodded. At this time, he looked like a humble primary school student, not resisting 659's instructions at all.
"Because Xu Xiaoxiao is a physical enhancement type ability user, and his first-level ability is quite powerful, the already small team of ability users were massacred again."
"Xu Xiaoxiao, no, it should be Andre after the soul change. This beast seems to have done it on purpose. He deliberately did not attack Ye Shuihan, but left him until the end."
"It seems that he wants Ye Shuihan to watch his former teammates die one by one in front of his eyes, and finally let him die in extreme pain..."
Bai Donggu tried his best to control the expression on his face, but his excessive anger still made his wrinkle-free face become slightly distorted.
"It's really too much to kill people and kill people's hearts..."
659 spit out a sentence gently from his mouth.
"Then, from your description, the team of capable users will inevitably be wiped out, but Xu Xiaoxiao and Ye Shuihan are alive and well now. What happened during that period? Did the World Breaker intervene?"
In fact, according to Bai Donggu's description, the team of ability users who were hunting the second apostle were at the end of their rope. They were attacked one after another. Without the intervention of the World Breaker, there was no way the situation could be reversed.
But what surprised 659 was that Bai Donggu shook his head after hearing his words.
"No, the World Breaker did not appear."
"How is it possible? The World Breaker didn't interfere. So what happened?"
At this time, 659's curiosity was completely aroused.
"The World Breaker did not appear, but a man appeared..."
Bai Donggu raised his head, crossed his ten fingers again, and placed a black and white pattern in front of 659.
"A man who calls himself Lu Yu..."
