The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2050: Some Time

"What do you think about the future?"

This is a cave-like environment.

A creature named Bilu was sitting on a rock chair, looking at a... three-dimensional picture in front of him.

In the stereoscopic picture, you can see two Ershi people sitting together, chatting and discussing various things...

If you look closely, you can see that an Ershimin has a transparent body and a blurred face, just like a vague shadow.

The other one is normal.

"Ah...the content of their conversations is so boring."

Bilu turned off the video screen and asked Lin next to her, "Veronica, when are we leaving?"

"Soon."

Lin and Bilu have been here for quite a long time, mainly staying in this cave... and have carved various pieces of furniture here.

As for food, it is mainly made of some microorganisms found here.

Although Bilu was bored staying here all the time, Lin found it very interesting because... there were many interesting discoveries here.

For example, the scene we just saw was... a scene of a group of imprisoned Ershi people chatting and communicating. In their memory, they were talking about civilization with a certain creature.

And that creature was actually this... thing that looked like a shadow fog. This image was obtained by Lin from some light mosquitoes.

Lin discovered that some photoreceptors have the ability to take photos and record... not all of them have it, only a few individuals have it, so Lin found some photoreceptors that can take photos in that village, and then investigated their photographic records.

So... I discovered this video.

In the video, the shadow of the Ershi people continued to appear and communicated with the Ershi people about matters related to civilization. However, every time it left, the Ershi people's memory of it would disappear.

So what exactly is this shadow?

This brings us to the phenomenon of the soul, which seems to be unique to this world.

There are many things that are consistent with or similar to souls, such as creatures in dreams, but in this world called the Eye of God, there are also phenomena that are very similar to souls.

All living things here have a special...thing in their bodies. For now, Lin calls it "spiritual dust".

This is a very interesting substance. It is in a fine dust state and attached to the body of living things.

There are all kinds of creatures, including the Ershi people who came here.

But there are some creatures that don't have it... They are Lin and Bilu. Lin didn't find any of this substance on herself or Bilu.

'Spiritual dust' is very complex, similar to cells, and each particle has a criss-crossing organizational structure inside.

Lin had discovered before that the 'Spirit Dust' would self-destruct, and each particle had the ability to self-destruct and kill Lin's cells.

Even so, during her stay here, Nelin still managed to get some to study.

The "spiritual dust" itself is also very strange. It attaches to living things and only stays there when the living things are still alive.

To be precise, they only attach when the brain...the thinking part of the organism is still intact.

Although most of the organisms here are not cellular organisms, they also have thinking parts similar to the brain.

As long as the brain is severely damaged and can no longer think, the "spiritual dust" will suddenly enter a floating state.

It seemed to become...unaffected by gravity in an instant and floated into the air.

This will cause the phenomenon we have always seen before... a cloud of mist floating out from the corpse.

However, the "spiritual dust" is usually deep inside the body of a living organism. If the body of the organism is not completely cut open or crushed... it will take some time for them to get out of the body.

The spiritual dust that flies away from the corpse will float in the air for a while and then gather towards a huge creature nearby.

This is the 'soul-gathering bug' we saw before.

There are quite a lot of these huge creatures. During this period, Nelin discovered many of them. They didn't get too close to each other, and it seemed that each of them had a certain... territory.

Their biggest feature is that there is always a stone full of holes on their backs, and the spiritual dust will fly towards this stone... and enter the body of this large creature.

Was Lingchen eaten in there? Lin hadn't confirmed this yet and planned to go and check it out later.

At the same time, Lin also thought that spiritual dust might be like...real souls. They might carry information such as the memories of the attached organisms.

And the spiritual dust is not only attached to living creatures, Lin also discovered some... wild individuals.

They will not fly towards the soul-gathering bugs, but will fly around freely and even attack other creatures.

Lin now wants to confirm what this creature called the soul-gathering bug is...

However, they cannot be detected in a simple way...Lin thinks that if they want to detect them, they have to catch one.

"Let's go."

Thinking about this, Lin said something to Bilu and then walked towards the exit of the cave.

Bilu followed and said, "Great! We are finally going to have a great battle, but..."

"I don't really want to ride this monster!"

Leaving the cave and coming outside, you can see a wasteland of rubble and a three-dimensional picture standing at the entrance of the cave.

In the picture you can see a...very big monster.

This creature looks like it is made up of a large number of Ershi people piled together. Overall, it looks like a large piece of meat, with many hands and legs on the skin.

This was made by Lin using the corpses of Ershimin.

These were the Ershi people who were killed by rats before. They were buried by the rats in the building where they were imprisoned.

Lin recently had Fluff sneak into the building and go underground where the bodies were buried, then found the bodies... and 'resurrected' them.

In fact, they were just randomly assembled together, and then some reinforced muscles were added to the body to form a pure... glued monster.

Because Lin had said before that she wanted to ride this bonding monster to...catch the soul-gathering bugs, Bilu was quite unhappy.

But actually, Lin didn't intend to use it to capture it. She just wanted to let it get close to the soul-gathering bug to try some... experiments.

However, now the creature has to escape from there.

Because it is still in the center of the village, inside that building.

The video device here was made by Lin finding some light mosquitoes and their nests and then dismantling them.

Now Lin can see the situation there from here at any time... although it is not really necessary to use this.

So, now let's start this monster...

"Boom!" When Lin thought this, the scene changed to the interior of the building where the Ershi people were imprisoned.

The floor in this building has been filled in, and now... there are cracks.
