Chapter 656: Deep Crane
"Again."
"We ask, you answer, understand?"
Jun Lie said as he put the tip of his gun against the monster's throat.
The monster remained calm: "Okay."
[My mood is very stable. I want to talk.]
[I wanted to talk about this before. Do you know what the original person looks like? You want to talk about it? Are you polite? If we want to talk, I should talk first! ]
[Wow, this is actually a monster with intelligence. ]
[Intelligent monsters are a rare species in the Abyss. I thought only the Abyss Cult was like this~]
[This seems quite interesting. Can he survive? ]
"First question, who are you?"
"Um……"
"Wait a minute!"
Paimon suddenly shouted, "Do you believe this monster? It was trying to attack us just now!"
The monster looked at Mizusawa who had been pointing the blade at his neck and said calmly, "I can't say who attacked who first."
"Even so, we can't guarantee that His answer is correct." Paimon still felt something was wrong.
"Paimon."
Xie Yun looked at Paimeng and explained patiently:
“I can tell whether what He says is true or false.”
"Eh? But Miss Xieyun, didn't you say..."
Paimon still remembered that not long ago, Xieyun took the initiative to point out that his group could not tell whether what the monster said was true or false.
"I just don't want to let Him go."
Xie Yun said as a matter of course: "As long as you can't tell whether what He said is true or false, there is no need to agree to the deal."
"Since there is no need to agree to the deal..."
"We don't need to let Him go."
Xie Yun's eyes revealed a trace of regret: "It's a pity that He has my elder brother's memory and knows that I can analyze intelligence and read micro-expressions."
【This woman is really bad. 】
【You are so bad, I like you so much. 】
After hearing what Xieyun said, Paimeng reluctantly agreed.
Back to the first question, who is this monster in front of us?
The monster's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he said, "According to that man, I am the abyss monster Deep Mimi-tsuru."
"I, the leaf-shaped Deep Leaf, and the cat-shaped Deep Cat Beastman are all followers of the Abyss Demon God."
"It is our power to plunder memories and replace identities."
The Demon of the Abyss?
The appearance of this word startled everyone.
Jun Lie, Xie Yun and Shuize in particular felt their brains go blank for a moment, and then a memory emerged before them.
The dark sky was stained with blood, and the rolling dark clouds were like the roar of a demon. A huge black crack tore through the void, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.
Scarlet eyes emerged from the cracks.
Just one glance and a terrifying sense of oppression arises.
Then, the memory quickly blurred.
The three of them opened their eyes wide, veins popped out on their foreheads, and they breathed heavily. If it weren't for the fact that the heroic spirits had no sweat glands, the three of them would have been sweating profusely.
"I remember now. There was indeed a demon god back then..."
"To be exact, it is a demon-god-level monster."
"Why would we forget this memory? This is definitely not normal?" Xie Yun panted, quickly analyzing the memory that suddenly appeared.
A light bulb suddenly flashed in her mind, and she said:
"Memory. The reason these monsters can plunder memories is not because they are born with this ability."
"It's that the demon god distributes his power to his followers."
Xieyun looked at Shenshen Mikuzuru: "Is that so?"
Deep Mimikura nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Our "leader"... is what you call the Abyss Demon God."
"His power is to obtain memories."
"The richer the memories we have, the stronger the power of the "leader" will be, so the "leader" will delegate power to us."
"Rely on our followers to collect a large amount of human memory."
Paimon asked in confusion, "Does it have to be a human? Can't it be a monster? I remember you can simulate a monster."
Deep Mimikuro said: "The monster's memory is too small."
"Humans have a much richer memory."
"And as the Chief said, human memories are rich in emotion and taste even better."
Ye Lan frowned, then asked:
"How strong is your leader?"
"It requires the personal intervention of the Rock King."
The one who answered this question was Jun Lie.
[What the hell? Does Lao Deng need to do it himself? ]
[Then this leader is indeed something. ]
[So it seems that you in Liyue are not only playing a high-pressure game during the Demon War, but also during the Abyss War. ]
"Eh? It actually requires the intervention of Emperor Zhong... Emperor Yan?"
Paimon was shocked and said authentically.
"Memory, Emperor, take action."
Mizusawa said with a serious expression.
"Our memories only go up to the point where the Emperor was about to make his move. We are unable to recall the more detailed parts."
Xie Yun said.
Then he looked at the deep pseudo-crane: "Leaf will kill, cat will collect, crane... will prolong life."
"You will continue life...what does that mean?"
"..."
Shenshen Nizuru was silent for a long time, then said: "The leader has three major clans under his command, which I have already introduced before."
"After obtaining the power of the Leader, we can all take away the memories of humans and replace their identities."
"After the replacement, we have two ways to deal with the original body that has completely lost its memory."
"One is to kill on the spot."
"This is what the less intelligent Deep-rooted Pseudophyllum usually does."
“The other is to bring it to this secret place and live in symbiosis with these plants.”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously began to look around.
Deep Mikuzuru continued to say to everyone: "We created this secret place with the help of the "leader"'s power."
“The plants here can absorb energy from the outside world and coexist with their original bodies whose identities have been taken away.
"As long as our original bodies are still here, we are immortal."
"Collecting refers to this kind of behavior. I think you already know this. The next step is what you are most concerned about."
"To continue life..."
Deep Mikuzuru looked at Mizusawa, then looked at everyone and asked, "Except for this guy, who among you could recognize me before?"
"I mean, to really tell that I'm not my original self."
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Not to mention strangers like Ying, Paimon, Yiya and Ye Lan, even Jun Lie and Xie Yun, who lived with them day and night, could recognize them only because they felt there was something wrong.
Only Mizusawa really realized that there was a problem.
"It's normal that you can't recognize me, because I was the real Lei Jian at that time."
Deep Mikuzuru calmly stated the fact that shocked everyone.
