Chapter 365: Li Yu takes over the magpie's nest
"Bug thief?"
"What is this stuff?"
I subconsciously murmured in my heart that this threat seemed to have occurred not too long ago and had not yet formed into systematic information and been posted on the notice wall.
But according to some well-informed workers, the situation seems to be very serious?
With Li Yu's current level of cultivation, he is sensitive to the cause and effect and disasters that happen to him.
When this sudden "warning" appeared, he closed his eyes and opened them again without hesitation.
Use the innate magical power: Bait-eating true pupil.
The world reflected in his eyes suddenly changed dramatically, and a scene that only existed in a dark and empty dimension appeared: the dense causal bait lines, as well as the meanings they represented, were all known to him at this moment.
Unexpected!
He was not singled out.
The future that was glimpsed: Not only would he be treated as a so-called "insect thief", but all the workers in the Storm Military Factory where he was were targets and would be slaughtered by the brutal Dragon Nest soldiers in the near future.
The causal line even shows that the entire lower city area will be massacred. The most incredible thing is that the upper city area is also implicated and many high-ranking officials have died.
The ruling class of the Dragon Nest Empire regards all civilians as consumable property. They try every means to keep them alive and use them until they are depleted to zero. It is not easy for them to launch a massacre, not to mention that they would even implicate the gentlemen in the upper city, which is really incredible.
In an instant, Li Yu smelled the implication of a "big conspiracy".
The desire to pry into other people’s private lives surged up.
Without hesitation, Li Yu began to follow the line of cause and effect to peek and solve the mystery.
The first target was easy to find. He was a worker named "Peter Hawkins" who worked next to the big bunk bed. He was a skinny young man with many pockmarks on his face and cunning eyes. One could tell at first glance that he was a cunning person.
He also has a bald head, and it is said that he lost all his hair due to long-term exposure to radiation sources.
As for why looking for him?
The reason is simple, this guy is a real bug thief.
When the workers were talking, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and when one of the workers said, "Is it fun to do that with bugs?", a look of intense fear appeared on his face.
Too obvious!
Directly exposed in front of Li Yu.
The reason why Li Yu didn't realize something was wrong at first was because this was a foreign world after all, and the customs, habits, races, bloodlines, etc. were all different.
After he descended and adapted to the identity of a laborer, he noticed something strange inside Peter Hawkins' body.
But the problem is that he is not the only one who is different.
One of the characteristics of a bug thief: bald head.
Although not every poor person in Dragon Nest is bald, there are definitely quite a few of them. Radiation or some other reasons can cause them to become bald.
There are even more people with physical abnormalities. Due to exposure to radiation, pollution, etc., there are very few native humans who have not mutated. It is common for them to grow tentacles, tumors, and scales.
They are ugly and weird, but they are still low-level humans in essence, and they do not possess extraordinary powers because of this. "
……
"Let me take a look at what the insect thief is, and what level of threat does the insect plague pose?"
With these doubts, Li Yu unceremoniously performed hypnosis and mind reading on Peter Hawkins.
All the secrets in his mind and his life experiences were revealed to Li Yu in the blink of an eye.
"Ok?"
Li Yu exclaimed subconsciously because he was invading the worker's mind.
I was almost discovered.
He is clearly a powerless and extremely weak lower-class civilian.
But there is an extremely sharp intelligent network, or a hive mind, in his mind.
Peter Hawkins is one of the above points.
Fortunately, the strength of this thinking was not enough, and ultimately failed to discover Li Yu. Instead, he followed the "nodes" one by one, and within just a few minutes, he had thoroughly explored the entire hive thinking.
As Li Yu finished solving the puzzle, the bubble on the eye mask miraculously moved forward a little bit.
A look of surprise also appeared on his face.
It’s not because he has come into contact with some extraordinary ancient secrets, or because it involves some powerful gods.
The reason for Li Yu's horror was that he had spied on an extremely terrifying race.
And fully aware of the very disgusting and terrifying invasion method used by this race:
"Chaos Zerg."
"The most brutal race in the boundless spirit world, a cosmic-level natural disaster, also known as the Great Devourer."
"Wherever they go, they will devour all living things alive."
"But before the final outcome arrives, they will carry out an extremely shameless infiltration invasion in advance. The most common victims are one of the most numerous races in the infinite spiritual world: humans."
"First, they dispatched a type of soldier called Gene Stealers to infiltrate human society, mate with humans, and give birth to generations of hybrid offspring. These offspring were then called Insect Thieves."
"Whether it is the humans who are parasitized or the hybrid offspring that come after them, they will all be integrated into the hive network with the first generation ancestor as the core and become a member of the hive consciousness."
"From the moment they are born, they fall into a beautiful illusion. They ignore the inhuman appearance of themselves, others, and their offspring, and regard other insect thieves as their family members."
"At the same time, in order to facilitate the contamination of the teachings, the first generation of ancestors will also combine local characteristics to establish a unique cult, so as to carry out collective brainwashing... Let these insect thieves who were originally human beings mistakenly believe that they are believing in a great existence and are carrying out some kind of great cause."
"For example, the insect thieves on this colonized planet were tricked into joining a sect called the Dragon King Cult... except that their Dragon King, in addition to being mighty and domineering, also had hundreds of arms, under the pretext that this was so that he could embrace all believers."
"They believe that as long as they follow the great 'Dragon King' devoutly, one day the Dragon King will send the most powerful angel army to rescue them."
"It is also because of these reasons that the loyalty and fanaticism of the insect thieves are much stronger than those of the local soldiers and civilians, and sometimes even surpass those of some True God sect believers."
"Until the psychic network they have built is mature enough, it will attract the attention of the Chaos Zerg's 'Master Brain', which will send an extremely terrifying Zerg fleet to harvest them."
"When the Zerg fleet descends into the orbit of a planet, all the Zerg thieves will come out in droves under the instruction of the First Progenitor, and use various methods to paralyze all attack and defense systems on the planet, making it easier for the fleet to descend and devour."
"Then, the hallucinations will disappear from their bodies, leaving them trapped in the most horrific and torturous nightmare the world has ever seen."
"The 'family' they thought of before has turned into hybrid monsters. The angel army they revered is actually a group of terrifying insects. The messenger of God has also become one of them, and together with the other insects, they eat them one by one as if they were food."
“Not many people can bear such a blow.”
"Most insect thieves will collapse and be eaten while screaming."
"A small number of senior executives can sense it in advance, but they will not wake up and report it."
"Instead, they board interstellar transport vehicles, leave their home planets, and take their newborn babies who have undergone 'atavism' as the new hive founders to the next colonized planet to continue the next round of infection and invasion... This cycle repeats itself, just like the infinite fission of the virus." "The most important thing is that it is impossible to prevent it."
"Because of the extremely harsh living conditions, whether it is the human race in this galaxy that has established the [Dragon Nest Third Empire] or the human race in other galaxies, very few humans can maintain their original appearance. The number of mutants with various strange appearances is very large."
"So it's almost impossible to detect insect thieves by relying on some peculiar appearance."
"Other methods are very expensive."
"So, after the chaotic human dynasties like the Dragon Nest Third Empire discovered the Zerg's invasion method in recent years, once they detected the signs, they would choose to directly exterminate the local area."
"For example, if there are traces of the Storm Military Factory, then we will kill everyone in the factory without any discrimination."
"If there are such cases everywhere in the Lower City, then we will exterminate the Lower City. The Upper City with its high-ranking officials will also be implicated."
"The Empire does view the lower-class humans as consumable property, but at the same time, the thing it lacks the most is humans."
"If the rule shows signs of danger and the survival of the race is in question, then the extermination of all humans on a planet is a necessary price in the eyes of the empire's top brass."
……
Along with these thoughts emerged scenes from his memory that made him feel as if he were there. He could even smell the stench of the insect thieves, feel their fanaticism, and finally their infinite fear.
Li Yu felt that his knowledge was broad enough, but he still felt shocked.
The boundless spiritual world!
The surprises and shocks never end.
Compared with these, Wanfu City really looks like a novice village.
The reason why the information is so detailed is that the "Dragon King Cult" that has gradually developed and matured on the eighteenth colony planet, the so-called messenger of God is actually an atavistic baby who escaped early from the first colony planet where the insect plague broke out.
What is about to take place now will be a new round of infiltration and pollution, and the harvest of results is not far away.
Li Yu saw it clearly through the honeycomb network.
In addition to those "lower-level insect thieves" who have no combat power, the vast underground pipes in the lower city are filled with a large number of soldiers who have evolved extraordinary combat power.
For example, there is a psychic saint who has the ability to brainwash and control minds.
Various berserker-like aberrations, hybrid assassins, mutant tyrants, and so on.
"But compared to these, the more troublesome thing is actually the infiltrated ruling class."
"The upper city of this colonized planet, those gentlemen, are almost infiltrated into a sieve."
“Many high-ranking officials appear to be normal, but in fact they have become insect thieves.”
"Once the Harvest Day comes, the upper and lower levels will unite to launch a riot. Even if the Dragon Nest Army and the Mechanical Police here are very powerful, they will probably be caught off guard."
"By then, if there is a loophole in the defense and the Zerg fleet arrives, everything will be irreversible."
"The entire planet will be eaten alive."
"Except for some high-level insect thieves who will flee early with their atavistic babies, no other life forms will be spared. They will all be transformed into the most primitive biomass and eaten up."
"If I don't intervene, this eighteenth colonized planet will have two outcomes."
"The first is to be eaten by the Chaos Zerg."
"The second possibility is as my hunch shows. The high-ranking officers of the Dragon Nest Army were first purged point by point, and later found that they had been completely infiltrated... So one day, they took away the high-ranking officers who passed the inspection, and then directly activated the [Star Destroyer Cannon] to carry out a mass extinction-style cleansing."
"No matter which one it is, I will definitely be exposed. Even if I don't die, I will be hunted down."
"No wonder the Demon Star Order gave the main quest of surviving for ten days."
"If I'm not mistaken!"
"The other Lords have most likely landed on other colonized planets. Their planets, like mine, are fraught with the potential for destruction, and there is definitely more than one."
When Li Yu realized this, he was completely left with no choice.
Intervene!
It has become inevitable.
Moreover, according to his premonition, the great purge would come in the second half of the night.
"Storm Arsenal will be a starting point."
"Under the instigation of Peter Hawkins, the workers here will refuse the comprehensive physical inspection by the mechanical police, and conflicts will soon break out, eventually leading to a purge."
“But the ending was not good.”
"It is true that a lot of insect thieves were killed in this way, but the number of poor people who died in the cleansing was hundreds of times that of the insect thieves."
"The most important thing is that because the harvest day is approaching, some high-ranking insect thieves of the Dragon King Cult in the Lower City have been evacuating this colonized planet with some atavistic babies since the past few days."
"So, if things continue as normal, this place will still be swallowed up by extinction, and the insect thieves will continue to infiltrate and pollute..."
"In that case, why not give it to me and make some use of it."
"Being the enemy of the Insect Thieves is disgusting... Then I can perfectly solve the problem by joining the Insect Thieves' side."
"I will be the new messenger of God!"
"I will take control of this power."
"Hypnosis and brainwashing, I'm also good at it."
"It's a good opportunity to survive for ten days before I deal with the most troublesome task of [Changing the World]."
Li Yu suddenly had a thought in his mind, and he actually wanted to take over the magpie's nest.
And the next moment, take action.
He was too lazy to even wake up Peter Hawkins to attack again, but instead cast a spell to make him sleep soundly.
By waiting for the mechanical police who have received the intelligence to come to the door in the second half of the night, they can easily gain credit and save the lives of those ordinary workers.
As for Li Yu?
He simply erased everyone's memory of his existence.
He got up quietly, left the military factory like a ghost, and followed the memories in Peter Hawkins' mind to the extremely large and complicated underground pipeline.
tonight!
He wants to break into this dirty and complicated underground world and accept and transform a Zerg cult.
