Chapter 1,030 The Essence of Gray Mist

"your name?"

"Lietta."

Lietta looked up at this creature with orange hair, four short legs, and a body that looked like a pool of liquid.

In her understanding, 'body' to her clan is similar to clothing in the eyes of humans.

Lietta didn't understand why her brother wore such a strange 'clothes'.

"Lietta...you can stop nodding."

When the orange cat asked Lietta questions, her head was still nodding. Lietta was born less than a year ago, and she was taught one of the most important things in her limited time, and that was Listen to your eldest sister and brother.

Lietta has always followed this instruction carefully and obediently, even now.

At the orange cat's signal, she stopped nodding. At the same time, Lietta's eyes once again looked at the sewing gang who were playing Bully in the corner.

"Can that human be eaten?" Lietta suddenly pointed at a member of the sewing gang and asked.

"Eat...are you hungry?"

The orange cat was covered in hair. Although Lietta had the appearance of a human little girl, her essence was the incarnation of gray mist. It was very reasonable that she would regard humans as food.

Lietta shook her head. She just ate a lizard man this morning. Although it didn't taste very good, it at least filled her stomach.

Qiao Xiu saw through Lietta's gaze that what she wanted was the little bully in the hands of the sewing gang member.

"You come with me first."

The orange cat jumped down from the round table in front of Lietta, and Lietta stood up and followed the orange cat all the way.

This is the lounge of the leaders of the sewing gang, and it is also equivalent to Qiao Xiu's laboratory. Here Qiao Xiu built an arcade machine for testing.

Orange Cat took Lietta to the front of the arcade machine and jumped directly onto the arcade machine's console.

Lietta, who originally seemed eager to play games, hesitated after seeing the arcade machine. She glanced at her left hand.

There were already faint golden traces on the left hand Lietta used to hold the joystick just now, which to her was a scar...

The moment she held the joystick, not only was her body damaged, but also the gray mist that made up this body was lost.

"There's nothing in this arcade that can hurt you, don't worry."

The orange cat pressed the start button with his paw, and the arcade machine was instantly activated. The startup screen was not any game, but a selection list of a large number of games.

This arcade machine contains all the pixelated games that Qiao Xiu has made so far. You can play both Little Overlord and arcade games on it.

Lietta could feel the joystick of this arcade machine... there was no power that would make her feel any pain. She sat in front of the arcade machine again, and carefully glanced at Orange with her eyes before touching the joystick. cat.

"Can you understand human writing?" the orange cat asked while licking his little paws.

"No." Lietta shook her head and told Qiao Xiu this...sad news.

This incarnation of gray mist is actually illiterate.

"Let me choose."

The orange cat sat down on the console, with one paw on the joystick and the other on the four buttons of the arcade machine.

Qiao Xiu directly chose The King of Fighters 97, which she first came into contact with.

The screen on the arcade instantly changed to the King of Fighters 97 screen, and Lietta's eyes widened at this moment.

From the moment she was born, there were only two colors in the world she lived in. One was the original gray of her body, and the other was the blood-red that overflowed from the creatures.

But the arcade in front of him showed Lietta a colorful world.

"What do you think?"

Qiao Xiu watched Lietta's every move through the orange cat's perspective. Her actions were really far from the origin of the gray mist that Qiao Xiu knew.

Whether it's anger or hatred, these two are typical anti-social and anti-human personalities. This Lietta looks more like a newborn baby who doesn't understand anything.

"Are you going to pick her up and raise her?" Xili heard Qiao Xiu's question and immediately had a glimpse of what Qiao Xiu was going to do next.

"I have no such interest. I was just thinking that I might be able to take advantage of her."

Qiao Xiu immediately waved his hand to express that he had no intention of luring or abducting this juvenile Gray Mist.

"Use? Qiao Xiu... I don't think she will listen to us. The hierarchy among the gray fog is very clear. The orders of the first-level messenger to other gray fog-infected people are absolute. There should be this kind of hierarchy among the messengers as well. "

As a witness of the Heretic Tribunal period, Qian Mian knew that the gray mist creatures did not get along with each other in an orderly manner. On the contrary, there was a strict hierarchy.

"But it should be okay to get some information from her first."

Qiao Xiu looked at Lietta from the perspective of an orange cat. Lietta's hands, which were pressing hard, suddenly stopped slowly.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xiu didn't give her an order to stop.

"Brother is asking about my location."

Lietta also moved her gaze to the orange cat squatting next to her hand.

"Brother? Sure enough, there are other gray mists..."

This is the situation that Qiao Xiu least wants to see. There must be more than just Lietta, an infancy gray fog manager who can't even read words, in this city. There must be other gray fogs.

"Are you going to make her lose consciousness?" Qian Mian couldn't wait to take action.

"Wait...let me try it first."

The orange cat tapped the arcade machine under him with his paw.

"Listen up Lietta, only I can let you play with these interesting things. If you tell other brothers or eldest sisters about this place, they will destroy them immediately and take you away!"

Lietta also calls the orange cat brother, which means that in Lietta's mind, Qiao Xiu's identity may be on the same level as other gray fogs.

In this situation, whose order Lietta is willing to obey depends on her own inner wishes.

"You only need to answer the brother who calls you and say, 'I am patrolling in the city and will return later.'" Qiao Xiu immediately thought about the wording of Lietta's answer.

Lietta glanced at the orange cat, then at the colorful arcade screen in front of her, and at the voice in her head that kept asking her where she was.

‘I’m patrolling the city and will return later. ’

Lietta responded to the voice that kept asking her in her own consciousness.

'patrol? Why are you patrolling? ’

When Lietta heard this question, she fell into silence. Finally, she threw the question to the orange cat at hand.

"Brother asked me why I patrolled." Lietta said.

"Because...because I'm hungry! I'm looking for food! And Lietta repeated the words you communicated in consciousness into words."

Qiao Xiu doesn't know what the communication method between Gray Mist is, but Gray Mist is originally born from the negative consciousness of intelligent creatures. They also use human language to communicate with each other, and there must be things similar to humans in their lives. place.

For example...foraging or something like that.

"Because I'm hungry and looking for food."

Lietta understood the reason for Qiao Xiu's prevarication, and repeated it directly in her own consciousness, and repeated it verbally according to Qiao Xiu's request.

"Don't eat too much. The food has gone bad recently. Come back early."

Lietta once again recounted the message sent by the other party. Judging from the content of the message, it seemed like what a brother who cared about his sister said, except that the food here referred to humans.
