Chapter 2923 End of Parasitism
"We can't be controlled by it anymore!"
This is a dream world full of sparkling crystal light.
Lin is observing the world.
Not long ago, a group of "bitter people" were talking to a "willow tree".
And this 'willow tree' is actually a thing called a terrifying parasite, which has been parasitic on their race for a long time.
First in the form of microorganisms, and now parasitizing their 'dreams'.
The dream world is a necessity for the bitter nail people. They must connect into the dream body to produce some substances necessary for life.
And there is another substance that is essential for life: energy.
They can swallow some substances into their bodies, and then let the organs in their bodies break them down into fuel to power the "energy furnace".
The lives of the bitter nail people are completely supported by the "energy furnace". They used to use other substances, but later changed to pain crystals.
Although their original purpose of discovering the crystals was to use them to deal with terrifying parasites.
At first, they were quite successful. They used the energy of pain to deal with the microorganisms and the "virus" that made them crazy... But when they finally communicated with the parasites, they found that the parasites were quite supportive of their excavation of the pain crystals.
The parasites have been asking them to dig up more pain crystals and research more technologies related to pain energy.
Even give them advice when they encounter difficulties.
Just like this time.
But this time it wasn't a suggestion, it was... an order.
"You must eliminate the source, or I will eliminate you."
After giving this order, the terrifying parasite disappeared, and the few remaining bitter nail people looked distressed and angry.
The parasite has always been like a bomb buried in their bodies, threatening the lives of their entire clan.
Now they are hesitating.
Because the parasites have just given the location of the Pain Bus, all they have to do now is go there... and destroy the bus.
But the bitter nail people hesitated whether they should deal with the bus or the parasite.
They have been enduring the parasite for a long time, but they are not just enduring it. They have also been studying what the parasite is and what methods can be used to deal with it.
So far, they have developed many methods, but none of them have been tested.
Now... they feel like maybe it's time to take action.
Lin was also very interested in this parasite. It seemed to know a lot of things, including buses and painful energy.
"Notice! Begin the parasite extermination plan! Repeat one hundred times! Begin the parasite extermination plan! Start..."
Suddenly, Lin noticed that the bitter nail people who had just communicated with the parasites kept repeating themselves in their minds.
They seem to be sending this message to all of their kind around them.
Lin discovered that after this message was sent out, all the nail-shaped warships floating in the surrounding void responded.
They all started to go off one by one...the signal output.
So that's what they are doing. It seems they want to shut down the dream world.
Their dream world is actually not made up of 'dream energy'.
It is something like an 'electrical network'.
...The terrifying parasites live in their network.
And Lin thought it should be a dream creature or something. Of course, dream creatures can also invade these "networks" as long as the devices maintaining the network can be invaded by dream energy.
At the same time, the parasite may also parasitize in the brain of a certain person or a group of people, and then use their brains to access the network.
Besides... there may be some other reasons.
In short, after the bitter nail people disconnected all the connections, it would definitely have some impact on it.
Lin, who had followed the ball of fluff here, could sense in the void that all the spike-shaped warships had closed their connections.
The 'dream world' they formed also disappeared.
This cannot last too long, because the Bitter Nail People have a rather strange characteristic. They must regularly obtain some special "data" in their dreams, which will allow them to enter the next stage of their lives.
Simply put, their lifespan is 'segmented', and their body functions cease to function after a certain period of time.
All they have to do is get some data from the network before they stop, so they can start the next stage of their lives and continue to operate.
Lin didn't know why they were like this, nor did she know whether this was related to the random deaths caused by the parasites in the past.
At present, the history Lin knows is only the general history of the parasite.
But it is obvious that if Lin continues to pay attention, she will know all their history.
Although the micro-soldiers in the brain can only know their current thoughts through the pain crystals, when the bitter nail people encounter something, they will recall a lot of past events.
For example, when they communicate with their parasites, they recall the history of their population and the parasite.
And when they turn off the dream world network, they remember why they rely on it.
However, they did not recall the reasons for the formation of the dream network, so Lin doesn't know it yet.
But you'll know after a while.
If there is a while that can wait.
"How dare you do such a thing? Are you expecting the horror of extinction?"
Not long after turning off the dream, Lin discovered that a signal was transmitted into Kudingmin's mind.
It should not just be the ones Lin observed, it seems that the bitter nail people on every warship have received this signal.
It seems that they... have no way to eliminate this parasite.
'boom--!!!'
A few seconds after the signal was sent, Lin saw a nail battleship explode.
This battleship is only over a hundred kilometers away from Lin Rongqiu's location, which is quite close.
At this moment, all the surrounding warships turned their heads towards... the source of the destruction of the warships.
They and Lin both saw that something was flying over and hitting the warship.
And the source of the emission...slowly emerged.
I saw a blur somewhere in the void, followed by a flickering light, and then a huge object appeared... in the void.
Lin discovered that this object was also a nail-shaped battleship, but it was much larger than all the battleships here.
And to be precise, it is not nail-shaped, but... pin-shaped, because its 'head' is spherical.
"Has it always been here?"
"We... didn't find out?"
The people of Kuding were quite shocked by the appearance of this thing.
But Lin felt that this thing... was somewhat familiar.
