The interior of the fungus owner's consciousness space is almost a 1:1 replica of the valley outside, with villages, castles, mountains and rivers.
But it’s not just a simple copy.
It is layered, and the overall structure is similar to an inverted pyramid. Li Ang is currently in the shallow space, which is the base of the pyramid, and is the largest layer among them.
The central area of this level is the castle in front of you. The reproduction is the most realistic and almost indistinguishable from reality. But once you leave this area, the surrounding environment immediately feels crude and inconsistent.
Various model distortions and texture errors look very much like the graduation works of some 3D major students.
Li Ang didn't have time to explore around, opened the door and walked straight into the castle.
The place was still a familiar place, except that there was no familiar person, which was a good thing. Otherwise, he would have been thinking about how to get out as soon as he arrived.
The castle without the mother and daughter of the Di family is not cold, on the contrary, it is quite lively.
Dozens of aristocratic men and women in gorgeous costumes and masks were holding a banquet, changing glasses, chatting and laughing; servants in straight tuxedos, holding trays, walked among the crowd to provide services to the guests; in the corner The chef is preparing dinner on site, and a row of young and beautiful maids are standing next to it, waiting to deliver the food to the guests at any time.
It is not difficult to judge from the words, deeds, and clothing styles of these people that they are most likely not modern people, but a group of real ancient nobles.
But if you just watch them, you will find that their behavior is very rigid, with fixed lines and repeated routes, just like a drama rehearsed according to the established process.
Li Ang walked past them like a transparent person without causing any disturbance.
After passing through the hall, the goal of this trip is beside the railing on the second floor.
It was holding a glass of wine and silently watching the words and deeds of the people in the hall.
But the strangest thing is that it looks exactly like Li Ang.
This was the first time that Li Ang observed himself through the perspective of others.
Her skin color is very white, and it is the kind of cold white without any warmth; her face is slightly feminine, she is a vampire after all; her facial features are noble, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, no wonder she was fascinated by Bella when they first met; her shoulders are wide, her legs are long, and her body is strong But it's not bloated, and he should be a good candidate for practicing sports.
It's a pity that the fungus owner can imitate his appearance, but cannot imitate the core, so the other Leon looks like an exquisite but useless shell.
"I took the liberty of borrowing your look, but I really can't think of anything better than this. If you don't like it, I can change it."
The fungus owner did not use the inefficient communication method of speaking, but communicated directly through thoughts. Li Ang translated it a little, and that was probably what it meant.
"I don't mind, just do whatever you want."
The fungus owner twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a stiff smile: "I should be smiling now, right? I'm sorry, the way your species gets along is too complicated, and I haven't fully understood it yet."
Li Ang comforted: "It doesn't matter, actually I don't understand it sometimes."
The fungus owner was relieved and continued to transmit his thoughts: "You are very special, Mr. Vladimir. I have been observing you since very early and reserved a place for you in the fungus network in advance. It is a pity that you have not died, which caused me Can’t fully understand you.”
The bacterial net is the conscious space of the bacterial owner, and the memories of all the dead within its scope of influence will eventually be gathered here.
Even though it didn't mean anything malicious, it was still an odd statement to say.
"I'm really sorry to disappoint you that I'm not dead." Li Ang said in a strange tone.
"Are you angry?" The fungus owner showed confusion: "Did I say something wrong?"
Li Ang replied: "Because I don't want to die yet."
The fungus owner suddenly understood, and then he agreed very much: "Indeed, I don't want to die either."
Every person or creature has his or her own pursuit. The biggest pursuit of the fungus owner is to live. If possible, it wants to live until the end of time.
It is afraid of death, but wants to understand death.
Therefore, it keeps collecting the memories of the deceased, trying to find patterns in them to help it escape death.
Unfortunately, it was never found.
The fungus owner's consciousness was a little depressed: "No one can live forever, right?"
Then, it looked at the people in the lobby on the first floor.
"These people have been dead for hundreds of years. Even if I preserve them carefully, the memories will become fragmented as time goes by. Maybe after tonight, they will disappear completely."
"The memory is like this, let alone anything else."
After listening to this, Li Ang thought of another question: "How is Eva's current situation?"
The fungus owner naturally knew who he was talking about. He paused for a moment and searched the fungus network: "It's not good. She didn't have much memory to begin with, and she was just an ordinary person before she died. After so many years, she has long changed. It’s not complete anymore.”
"Most of them are still entangled with other people's memories and are difficult to separate."
Eva was only 10 years old when she died. The size of her memory is certainly not comparable to that of an adult, and will only disappear faster.
Thinking of this, Li Ang asked puzzledly: "Then Miranda's hard work for so many years, isn't it in vain?"
The fungus owner shook his head: "If she can find all her memories, there may be hope."
"Then she has something to look for." Li Ang was a little gloating: "She should also know this situation, so she didn't want to ask you for help?"
The fungus owner seemed to have no emotion: "It is true that I can easily help her retrieve Eva's memory, but why? Why should I help her?"
"I have given her great strength and a long life, isn't that enough?"
Without waiting for Li Ang to speak, it added: "It's not enough. Over the years, she has used my power to do a lot of things I don't like, and even stole some of the permissions of the bacterial network. Maybe she will wait until the day she completely replaces me. Feel satisfied."
Before Miranda appeared, the fungus owner had always kept a low profile, and almost no one knew about its existence.
But later, Miranda took a series of radical measures to find a suitable container.
Including but not limited to: exercising religious rule in the name of the fungus owner, conducting extensive in vivo experiments, cooperating with other biochemical organizations, using mold to create the 7th generation BOSS Evelyn, completely exposing this creature that has lived for nearly 100 million years to certain In human eyes.
This is a taboo for fungus owners, because the more people know about it, the less controllable the future will be.
The more uncontrollable factors, the more dangerous it is. The fungus owner hates danger, which will increase the probability of its death.
What was once a close collaborator turned into a blood-sucking parasite, a malignant tumor in urgent need of excision.
No wonder the fungus owner immediately discarded Miranda after establishing a connection with Rose. In addition to Rose being the best carrier for the mold, the biggest reason is that the fungus owner is extremely disgusted with Miranda.
