Chapter 64 Sparking a Crowd (Part 2)
"How are alien beasts controlled?"
"I've always wondered about this."
"Brother Yu, you are a native of Qingcheng City. You should know better about the incident of the beast tide changing direction."
Sitting cross-legged on the slide pavilion in the kindergarten, Zhuge Wu said to Chen Yu with a serious expression: "The beast tide was clearly aimed at Qingcheng, but suddenly changed its direction in the middle and engulfed Hecheng."
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded: "I was still on the city wall preparing for the battle. I saw the beast tide change direction with my own eyes."
"Do you know who did it?"
"Bahuang Yi."
"Yes!" Zhuge Wuyong stood up: "It's the Bahuang Yi! But it was exposed later. People had been searching before, but they couldn't find it. In fact, there was another time like this kind of control of the beast tide. "
"Which time?" Chen Yu asked.
"You have experienced it too." Zhuge Wu pointed to the north: "Tang City."
"Oh!" Chen Yu suddenly said, "That time when the underground beasts swarmed."
"Yes." Zhuge Wuyong nodded: "At that time, you also used your unrivaled wisdom to find out the real culprit behind the release of the strange beasts."
Chen Yu: "..."
"But the murderer committed suicide, causing the clues to be interrupted. Then I became even more confused, why can the beast tide be controlled by humans?" Zhuge Wu raised his wet long hair: "After you left, I joined the search underground in Tang City. The team happened to meet up with the Fair Club who was preparing to retreat. Our team of more than 40 people detonated portable nuclear bombs and died together with the team from the Fair Club. In the end, I was the only one left, and I recorded the video of that time."
Chen Yu raised the three-defense tablet in his hand: "Is the video in it?"
"Yes. You'll know after reading it."
Nodding, Chen Yu wiped the dust on the screen with his sleeve and pressed the power button.
After waiting about ten seconds, the tablet starts.
"In the photo album." Zhuge Wu Yong said.
"Um."
In response, Chen Yu opened the photo album app and saw rows of indescribable video covers.
"Jingdong fever?" Chen Yu looked at Zhuge Wu Yong suspiciously.
"Wrong." Zhuge Wuyong shook his head: "Hidden the eyes of others. Click on the third one."
Chen Yu clicked on the screen.
The familiar prelude suddenly sounded...
"That's wrong." Zhuge Wuyong corrected: "It's the third one from the right."
Chen Yu: "..."
After giving the other party a deep look, Chen Yu turned to bb and said, "You go out and play for a while, I have something to do."
"I want to see it too." bb said.
"No. Let's go."
"Just take a look..."
"Not even for a moment, let's go."
"Anyway, I know how to see through things." bb curled his lips.
"Hey, then I'll look sideways." Chen Yu raised the tablet so that it was at eye level with BB: "Even if you look through it, you can only see an LCD panel."
bb: "..."
Seeing that Chen Yu was really resolute, bb smacked his lips and left with an unhappy face.
After the girl walked away, Chen Yu clicked on the third video with confidence.
"No...that's not right!" Zhuge Wuyong was stunned and corrected: "Brother Yu, it's not this one, it's the third one from the right."
Chen Yu waved his hand: "I'll finish reading this first."
Zhuge Wu Yong: "..."
One minute later.
It ends with background music.
The tablet screen also went black.
Chen Yu looked up in shock: "No more?"
Zhuge Wu Yong: "I told you...it's just a cover-up."
Chen Yu: "...waste."
Exiting the video, this time he directly clicked on the third file from the right, and immediately saw a shaky picture.
In the picture, a group of men in black robes were surrounding the corpse of a strange beast, eating heavily.
One of the men in black robes finished eating, stood up, raised his hands high, and in some way controlled the movement of dozens of strange beasts in the distance...
"This is..." Chen Yu's body felt cold as he watched.
"That's right." Zhuge Wu nodded and grinned disgustingly: "They are eating corpses. Did you see the shadow behind the man in black?"
Chen Yu: "...Hmm. That's a... strange beast."
"Yes! By eating the corpses of alien beasts, they transform themselves into alien beasts, and then temporarily control the alien beasts." Zhuge Wu clenched his fists and turned blue: "When we saw this scene, our investigation team was dumbfounded. And based on my subsequent series of research, I discovered more secrets.”
As he spoke, he paused slightly and raised three fingers: "First, this kind of eating the corpses of strange animals seems to hide some kind of contract-like transaction. It has nothing to do with eating more or less."
"Second, the more talented a warrior is, the more exotic beasts he can control after eating the corpse."
"Third, no matter what, people who eat strange beasts will definitely turn into strange beasts."
Chen Yu: "..."
Looking blankly at the video on the tablet, Chen Yu was silent for a long time and asked, "How did you analyze this?"
"Ashamed." Zhuge Wuyong scratched his neck: "I caught some bandits and fed them the meat of exotic animals. I learned this through stupid methods. Then I came to find you."
"...Why are you so determined to find me?"
"Because you are the most intelligent super-smart person I have ever seen!" Zhuge Wu Yong suddenly became excited: "After you know this matter, you will definitely be able to completely solve the alien beast disaster through research or some other method!"
Chen Yu: "..."
"But I don't know why..." Zhuge Wu glanced at Chen Yu cautiously and hesitated: "You now... seem to be much stupider than before..."
Chen Yu: "..."
"And...the pupils of those eyes are out of focus, and they don't look very agile."
Chen Yu: "..."
"Brother Yu, have you encountered any changes in recent times?"
"... Let's not mention this anymore." Interrupting Zhuge Wu Yong, Chen Yu held the tablet tightly with a serious expression: "After your research, besides eating corpses, are there any other ways to control the beast tide?"
"No more." Zhuge Wuyong said without thinking, "Maybe there is, but I don't know."
"That means..."
Putting down the tablet, Chen Yu looked in the direction of Liancheng with complicated eyes: "Bahuang Yi...has already eaten the corpses of alien beasts."
"What Bahuang Yi transferred at that time was a beast from a beast tide." Zhuge Wuyong analyzed: "Even with his talent, the price he paid was absolutely painful. To be honest, he should have turned into a beast by now."
"..." Chen Yu was noncommittal and continued to ask: "Why is the ability to control strange beasts related to talent?"
"I don't know the specifics. But as I said in the first point, this behavior of eating the corpses of strange beasts is more like some kind of contract."
Chen Yu: "Devil's contract."
"Yes. You are very accurate."
Lowering his head and looking at the video still playing on the tablet, Chen Yu's thoughts were spinning, and he felt more and more that there was a hand behind all this, controlling the overall situation...
every civilization.
Every world.
Every individual.
Every timeline…
They are all the pawns in that hand's pocket.
After a long moment of silence, he thought of Bahuang Yi again.
"Will he also turn into a strange beast in the future..."
"Snapped."
Turn off the tablet and give it back to Zhuge Wu.
Chen Yu stood up and said: "Thank you for your information, it has helped me a lot. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Brother Yu, where are you going?" Zhuge Wu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Have you found a way to save our human civilization? Can you take me with you?"
"Saving civilization has always relied on hard power." Chen Yu looked directly at Zhuge Wu Yong: "It is unrealistic to try to take shortcuts through some method."
"No... it shouldn't be." The light in Zhuge Wu's eyes disappeared and he pursed his lips: "Since you can control the movement of alien beasts, you can naturally control the actions of alien beasts to commit suicide. As long as... the range of control is wide enough... I think it is possible to become extinct. Of strange beasts.”
"You still know too little." Chen Yu pointed to his chest: "An alien beast is not some kind of foreign creature. Its essence is the human heart."
…
Leaving Zhuge Wu Yong in a daze, Chen Yu left the kindergarten in a hurry.
bb has gone somewhere.
But he's not worried.
Because bb has the ability to see through, the range is very wide. When you want to find him, you can find him at any time.
He has more important things to do now.
That is...
Eat exotic animal meat!
Ordinary warriors, after devouring the corpse of an alien beast, will eventually turn into an alien beast.
But Chen Yu knows what's special about him.
He is "cursed" by the world.
Any "established fact" placed on him will be completely reversed.
Then there is a lot of room for maneuver here...
With this thought, Chen Yu became more and more excited and couldn't help but speed up his steps.
"Lord Chen Yu!"
After a while, bb ran over and jumped on Chen Yu's back: "Where are you going?"
"Outside the city. You came just in time. Help me see where there are strange beasts outside the city."
"Well..." bb's eyes turned red, he lay on Chen Yu's shoulder and looked around 360 degrees, hesitantly: "No."
"Forehead?"
The figure paused, and Chen Yu was surprised: "Isn't there one near Qingcheng?"
"No. There are none around."
"Are there so few strange beasts in the wild anymore..." After scratching the base of his ears, Chen Yu asked, "Can you see further?"
"You can concentrate your computing power to turn the fan-shaped viewing angle into a straight line, and you can see very far. But the speed will be very slow."
"Okay, give it a try."
"OK."
Jumping off Chen Yu's shoulders, BB faced north, his eyes flashing red.
After a while, the whole person began to exude steam...
Chen Yu: "...you are smoking."
"I'm overclocking." bb said, "Can't Sister Bajiangtao do it too?"
Chen Yu: "..."
About five minutes later, bb slightly moved 2°.
"Did you see any strange beast over there just now?" Chen Yu asked.
bb: "No."
Chen Yu: "How far did you look?"
bb: "Earth's low Earth orbit. "
Chen Yu: "...Thank you for your hard work, you don't have to look so far."
"Ouch!" bb suddenly said, "That would be a lot faster."
As he said that, the heat generated all over BB's body decreased, and the speed of turning his head was obviously much faster.
He continued to "operate" like this for a while. When bb saw the direction due west, the red light in his eyes disappeared and he said to Chen Yu: "Master Chen Yu, I saw a strange beast."
"To the west?"
"right."
"Let's go." Picking up BB, Chen Yu changed direction and headed west: "How many are there?"
"Almost more than 200 million."
"..." Chen Yu paused: "Then the beast tide is coming!"
