Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1172 Ant Fungus

"However, I seem to have heard of the kind of cake you mentioned, Tetsuya Honda. It is a product of a new online celebrity shop in Nara. It is said that the supply will be in short supply tomorrow, but the most important thing is the gold owner behind this online celebrity shop. It's a foreigner named Sheila, and this Sheila seems to be related to the corpse cannibalism."

  Ichiro said, and gave Erlang a wink, and Erlang left with a comprehension.

   "The corpse cannibalism, it is also expected that they will participate in the battle of Gongwu. After all, it is strange that they do not participate in such a big event. It seems that the millet grains in those deer should be a good thing done by the corpse cannibalism."

  Yin En thought for a while and said to Liu Xing: "Liu Xing, go and call Alice and ask her if she knows what these millet grains will do."

   Liu Xing nodded, picked up the phone and sent a text message to Alice, telling Alice everything she knew so far.

   It didn't take long for Alice to reply with a text message - wait, I'll ask my teacher first.

   It seems that the Corpse Eating Sect did not hide their secrets when cooperating with the public faction, and did not directly use the common goods to perfunctory the public faction.

   At this moment, Liu Xing noticed that Zhang Jingxu and Yin En's expressions became solemn for a moment, and then immediately relaxed again, it seemed that kp had given them a new task.

  Unfortunately, Liu Xing still has not regained his player status.

"By the way, I heard that people from the public faction have already withdrawn from the climbing mountain, and it seems that they have not really found your treasure trove of Tetsuya Honda, but more importantly, they have fewer people when they go down the mountain than when they go up the mountain. One-third, it seems that the forces of these public factions still have infighting in the end." Ichiro said looking at the direction of the climbing mountain.

   Honda Tetsuya laughed, and then said to Liu Xing and others: "It seems that my final calculation was successful, but I have to say that my calculation was originally intended to be used against you."

Looking at the surprised Liu Xing and others, Honda Tetsuya continued: "Actually, when you dealt with the thorn beasts, I already discovered your existence, and then I used the shadow demon to spy on you secretly to make sure your Every move; at that time, I thought you and the people from the public faction were a group, waiting for me in the tunnel above, so I used the shadow demon as a bait to attract your attention, and then secretly before you went there There is a trap prepared in the depths of the tunnel that I passed through. Simply put, it is a colorless and odorless powder that is smeared on all kinds of good things, which can make people more likely to become jealous and lose their senses. If one person touches those things, everyone in the vicinity may be affected by the powder, and then you will feel that those things should belong to you and not be taken away by others."

"If you are all the way, and there is still a certain status gap, then this powder will not have too serious an impact on you, because although the lower ranks will be jealous that the upper ranks have taken all the good things, but their hearts You will still strictly abide by the class order, and you will not be too possessive about things you shouldn’t take; but I know through the shadow demon that you are not all the way, but a small temporary team, so I know This kind of powder will work wonders. If everything goes well, you will definitely fight yourself, so I have been waiting for you to search the passage, but you just never went, and those of the public faction People forced me to come up again, and as a result, this trap was finally stepped on by them."

Zhang Jingxu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ichiro and said, "Mr. Ichiro, it seems that we have escaped, if we really encountered the trap set by Tetsuya Honda, I am afraid that the three of us will not be able to leave the climbing mountain alive. Because people die for wealth and birds die for food, this sentence is never a joke."

Ichiro nodded, and said to Zhang Jingxu with a look of fear: "Yeah, this trap prepared by Tetsuya Honda is really vicious, we will definitely fight for those good things, and those people from the public faction have also proved that This point, but I think you are wrong, that is, you will not necessarily be wiped out, because although our strange talk meeting can be banned in most cases, the person in charge of the team can say no two, but our strange talk meeting is not Except for the president and the vice president, there is no obvious level difference between the other members, so I can be 100% sure that at that time, we will definitely start a fight by ourselves."

   Having said that, Ichiro seemed to have thought of something, so he looked at Tetsuya Honda with some embarrassment.

   Honda Tetsuya raised his brows and said with a smile: "I know what you want to say, don't you just want to ask how the two people who were swallowed by the shadow demon are doing now?"

"That's right, I heard that the shadow demon also undergoes a digestion process after it is swallowed, and if the shadow demon dies during the digestion process, the creatures swallowed by it will also die, but if the shadow demon takes the initiative to swallow the creatures If you spit it out, then the swallowed creatures will be fine. At most, there will be shadow demon marks on some parts of the body, but this is not a big deal; I thought Tetsuya Honda before that you can't control those mythical creatures, so I just I didn't mention this matter, after all, we still have to walk into the tunnel by ourselves, we can't blame others for this matter, but since you can control the shadow demon, Tetsuya Honda, can you put my two brothers back?" Ichiro Looking at Tetsuya Honda expectantly.

Honda Tetsu didn't give a shit, just nodded and said, "Of course there's no problem, because when I was sure that you guys were useless to threaten me, I already controlled the shadow demon and stopped digesting it, or at the beginning I I didn't let them eat, because I was going to use those two people as bargaining chips; originally I was going to let the shadow demon release them directly, but I changed my mind in the end, because although the shadow demon eats quickly, It would take a long time to spit it out, and at the time we definitely couldn't wait, so I let the other mythical creatures in the tunnel release the shadow demon, and then let the shadow demon escape to a safe place , prepare to wait until the members of the public faction leave before releasing the two of them."

Speaking of which, Tetsuya Honda pointed to the top of the climbing mountain and said, "The reason why I can control the shadow demon is mainly due to the power of the treasure house, so I cannot control the shadow demon to leave the climbing mountain, or in other words, once the shadow demon leaves the climbing mountain, it will It will directly lose control, and it will not know where it will go, so I think it is better for us not to let them out for the time being, and no one knows whether the public faction has left a secret post on the climbing mountain."

   Hearing Tetsuya Honda say this, Ichiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because as he just said, the Weitan Club is not a strictly organized secret church, and they cannot regard the lives of lower-level members as a must.

   Therefore, although the operation of this strange talk meeting did not gain much, as long as there were no casualties, then this operation was not a failure.

   At this moment, Erlang came back with a bag of cakes in his hand, and this cake was exactly the same as what Liu Xing and others saw in Nara Park.

   "You can rest assured that these pastries have been carefully inspected by us. There is no problem with them, and they are delicious."

As Erlang said, he distributed the cakes to Liu Xing and others, "Don't look at how soft this cake looks, and it's not too heavy to pick up, but its calorie is surprisingly high. It is almost the same as an ordinary person's lunch, which is why the deer in the park like to eat this, because although those deer are often fed by tourists, they can't bear the amount of porridge, and there is not much rice in the porridge. Sheila's foreigner, on the surface, he is from a small Eastern European country, but in fact he is still an Englishman, and his ancestors were once rich, and I heard that he is still a duke."

"Sheila came to the island country three years ago. At that time, he was an investor, but the investment before that was not smooth. Not to mention the emergence of some popular products, there were not many people who even paid back their money. Therefore, his investment circle in the island country is a little transparent. He spends his days in Tokyo all day long. However, after the battle of Gongwu started, Sheila's investment level suddenly increased. There are more than ten successful cases, but these success cases are all on the territory of the public faction, and I don’t know if it is a coincidence, these successful cases are very evenly distributed in those major cities, such as Nara is the Internet celebrity shop. ."

"Except for this online celebrity shop, the remaining successful cases are basically focused on the word 'eat'. It seems that the corpse cannibalism is ready to bring disaster. If they want to eat food Make a fuss about the above, then there are too many things they can do. After all, for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to find out what has been done to these foods, even if we do not know it. It may not be possible to find the abnormality at the first time; but you can rest assured that there are really no special seasonings in these pastries."

   Liu Xing looked at the pastries in his hand, and always felt that some of them were not good enough.

   But Tetsu Honda, who is a Lucca, didn't have so many scruples, and ate the cake in his hand in one bite.

"Well, this tastes pretty good, and it tastes very good, it's the best pastry I've had in so many years, and there really isn't any strange seasoning in it, but I'm sure we have the These pastries are using a different recipe from the pastries fed to the deer in the park."

   Having said that, a small piece of cake residue suddenly appeared in Tetsuya Honda's palm.

"When I was in the park, I took a few pieces of the deer's leftovers from the ground through my clone, and now I can confirm that there is one more ingredient in these pastries fed to the deer, and this ingredient is according to your Humans say it is active bacteria, they will gather together after other ingredients are digested by the human body, and eventually form the millet grain I said; but then again, I seem to have a little impression of this active bacteria, but for a while. I can't remember what this active bacteria is called."

   Honda Tetsuya said as he frowned and fell into contemplation.

"It seems that the public faction is planning to use the active bacteria that Tetsuya Honda said to control the actions of deer, but now I don't know if this active bacteria has other abilities." Ichiro continued with some worry: "Since those deer Millet grains have formed in their bodies, which means that the public faction is ready to start, so we have to find a way to track these deer... Or should we solve these deer in advance? For example, we also go to feed these deer something delicious of!"

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "We can do this, but it's too difficult to do well, because there are more than a thousand deer living in Nara, if we just feed dozens of deer It's okay to say, but to feed so many deer, it is easy to attract the attention of the public faction, and as long as there is an accident with a deer, the public faction will be more vigilant, so we must solve the problem at one time, because The public faction will not give us a second chance!"

   As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, the phone rang.

   Needless to say, this must have been a text message from Alice.

   After reading Alice's text messages, Liu Xing finally understood why the public faction made a fuss about these deer.

As Tetsuya Honda said, the "millet grains" in the deer are a polymer of active bacteria, and this active bacteria is very old and can be regarded as the direct descendants of archaea, in a sense also It is a "distant relative" of Tetsuya Honda.

   But most importantly, this active bacteria has a certain self-awareness!

If you want to use an analogy, these active bacteria are somewhat similar to ants, so Alice's teacher called them ants, so ants and ants can be roughly divided into two types, one can issue orders. The king fungus, while the other is the resident fungus that takes orders to act.

  Under normal circumstances, Wang Jun can command the Minjun under his command even if they are separated by hundreds of miles, and the main task of Minjun is two words - to live!

According to Mr. Alice's investigation, the distribution of ant bacteria on the earth is even less than that of archaea, so their first task is to survive, and then they can reproduce a larger group, so ant bacteria have evolved extremely strong The ability to adapt is to be able to adapt to the new environment at the first time at all costs when entering a new environment, even if the flora does not exist one out of ten.
