Captain Malone had been flying from the Free Zone to the Cape of Howling for such a long time, so he had seen many different kinds of people. However, when he opened the side door today, he could not tell if it was the chilly sea breeze or the three women and one man on the cliff that made him shiver uncontrollably.
No matter how he looked at it, the situation of these people was too strange.
The deafening roar of the engines of the small spaceship made it sound as though it was about to collapse. The thin door of the spaceship was also trembling under the rumbling of the spaceship. Marlon was already used to all of this. If he had not seen the expressions of the new passengers, he would have forgotten how small and shabby the spaceship was.
The tall woman in the lead frowned as she looked at the small spaceship. It was as if she did not believe that the small door could accommodate her skeletal wings. She paused for a moment before walking over. When she approached the door, rather than saying that her two-meter-tall skeletal wings intended to enter the spaceship, it would be more accurate to say that they wanted to tear the spaceship apart.
Even though it was very difficult, Malone shifted his gaze away from her hand and pretended that he did not see anything.
A man was tied up by a black leather rope and looked like a broken rag doll. He was held in the hands of the tall woman. His two empty trousers were dangling in the air. If not for the fact that the man's eyes were still open, Malone would have thought that he was a corpse.
Following closely behind the woman and the man was a plump woman in a green dress. She seemed to be very afraid of the last person. She took two steps forward to catch up with the last person, leaving the last woman to walk slowly. It was unknown if she was slowed down by her bulging belly.
"Didn't you say that there were ten people?"
Malone regretted his words the moment he asked the question. Because when he got closer, he saw that all four of them were injured. Blood mixed with sand had smeared on their skin, leaving stains, and even their clothes had been torn.
He did not know what happened to these ten people, but it seemed like this fight was not a small one.
After all, the ticket had been paid in advance. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Malone kept his mouth shut. However, to his surprise, the tall woman was the first to speak after boarding the spaceship.
"… Excuse me. Help me arrange the seats together. " The light from the sky shone into her amber eyes, leaving a deep impression. As she spoke, she waved the black leather rope in her hand. "As you can see, we can't be separated."
The shimmering black leather rope wrapped a circle around her wrist. Then, it slithered like a snake, wrapping itself tightly around the neck of the blonde youth. With just a glance, Marlon could not help but loosen his collar. Although the leather rope looked thin, it seemed to be very strong. It wrapped tightly around his throat like a noodle bag, squeezing out countless deep wrinkles on his skin. It was hard to understand how he could still breathe.
As if sensing his thoughts, the young man suddenly raised a pair of inhuman eyes, causing him to shudder again.
Malone's boat was specially used to shuttle passengers between the Howling Cape and the Free Zone. He arranged the four armchairs facing each other and gave a few simple instructions. When the one-armed woman walked past him, Malone's heart skipped a beat.
He had never seen a woman with such a big belly.
It was as if several adults had been stuffed inside. The stomach looked bigger than a human, and its clothes had long since been torn apart. Its skin was also stretched to a thin layer. She looked strangely uncomfortable, as if she was out of shape. It seemed that no matter what was inside her belly, it was not a fetus.
Being able to sneak into Red Nautilus from an E-class apocalyptic world, Malone was very sensitive to things that he should not touch. He did not say a word. He quickly disappeared from the passenger area.
After he left for a few minutes and the spaceship began to ascend, one of the four strange-looking passengers finally spoke.
"… I … I still don't understand. What is going on? "
Jade Zhang clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two people in front of her. Her skin was still faintly flushed. Under her gaze, the two people did not speak for a long time. Although the smile on the young man's face was the same as before, for some unknown reason, he seemed to be gloomy and irritated.
For a moment, no one replied.
"… What do you want to do with me?" When this sentence was spat out. The young man's Adam's apple did not move. Lin Sanjiu already knew that Soulsqn was mimicking a human voice when she rubbed her two small pieces of flesh. It was completely different from Walter's original voice. Soulsqn did not sound like a man or a woman. "You should know that you can't keep me here forever with this rope," the young man said.
Lin Sanjiu did not say anything. Her gaze shifted to Soulsqn's empty trousers.
Thirty minutes ago, dozens of bone blades emitting a chilling aura stabbed a dark purplish-red, inhuman thing into the ground.
As it struggled and shrieked, Lin Sanjiu picked up her [Vibroblade] and pierced through Soulsqn's "hand" as if it was slicing through the air. It took Lin Sanjiu a lot of effort to resist the urge to slice the piece of flesh in half. At the same time, all the souls felt as if they had suffered a heavy blow. Their bodies twisted and fell to the ground. For a moment, they wailed in agony.
"If I kill this queen, will the rest of the flesh worms die as well?"
Lin Sanjiu thought as she pulled out the piece of flesh that represented Soulsqn from Walter's corpse. It was only then that she saw that Soulsqn had a slit at the back of her neck. The slit formed an arc along her hairline, and it was now covered with sticky liquid.
The dark purplish-red flesh worm, which was about the size of a human, was writhing in the air in a way that would make one's scalp tingle. If Lin Sanjiu looked through the slit of the slit, she would see that it was not just a piece of flesh. Countless white "tendons" were tangled together in the flesh, mixed with sticky liquid. They made a "gurgling" sound. Soulsqn's mouth was wide open due to the pain. Inside the dark red oral cavity were layers upon layers of flesh.
At this moment, Jade, who was not far away, finally regained consciousness. She plopped to the ground and stared blankly at the scene in front of her.
"Wait, wait a minute," the two layers of flesh rubbed against each other, causing Soulsqn to speak in a human voice. Soulsqn spoke in a human voice, "What do you want?"
Almost instinctively, Lin Sanjiu raised her left hand. Amidst the sticky liquid and debris, two pieces of flesh that looked like "lower limbs" fell heavily on the rock. The screams of the souls were deafening, but not a single leg fell off. None of them dared to pounce on her. Lin Sanjiu endured the slippery sensation on her hand and the pungent smell of raw flesh. She pushed Soulsqn back to the ground, "Crawl in!"
Walter's intact skin was empty, just like a snakeskin that had been peeled off. The piece of flesh that looked like half a human crawled into the hole at the back of Walter's head. Gradually, the hole was filled. Lin Sanjiu blinked. "Walter's" face came to life again.
Not long ago, this was the same face that told her that her hometown was beautiful...
Suppressing her sudden burst of anger, Lin Sanjiu summoned her [ANTI Posthuman's Female Slave Bondage Rope] and picked Soulsqn up.
If she tied Soulsqn up like how she tied a human, Soulsqn would only need to make a small hole and she would be able to escape from the human skin.
Based on the memory she gained from the few seconds she spent with Soulsqn, Lin Sanjiu tried to recall the structure of the Soul's body. Then, she tied up all the parts of Soulsqn's body that she could move. Then, she tied up the hole at the back of Walter's neck. However, this was the only way. From the outside, the legless young man looked as if he had been strangled by the black leather rope. His body was twisted into unimaginable positions, but at least the Souls inside couldn't move.
After tying the last knot, Lin Sanjiu turned her head to look.
Even though the young man was already dead, the skin that the Souls were wearing looked much paler than before. Every single one of them seemed to have suffered a great blow, but none of them dared to move. After all, Lin Sanjiu's skeletal wings were aimed at Soulsqn's forehead.
"Let them take off their skin," Lin Sanjiu said as she picked Soulsqn up. Her fingers gripped Soulsqn's neck tightly. "That is, if you want to live."
Soulsqn, who was strangled by Lin Sanjiu, couldn't even open her mouth to speak. However, just as Lin Sanjiu expected, the group of Souls, including AYU, crawled out of the human skin one after another. Jade Zhang screamed. Lin Sanjiu lowered her head. Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and sneered, "You can communicate telepathically?"
"No, no, it's only one-way …" Soulsqn struggled to find a gap in Lin Sanjiu's iron-like fingers, "I can send messages to them, but they can't reply …"
"How many people are there in your tribe?"
Soulsqn paused for a moment before she spoke reluctantly. "One thousand one hundred and twenty-four … Souls."
This number was much more than Lin Sanjiu had expected. It was much more than what Lin Sanjiu had expected. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled, "There are only nine of them here. Where are the rest? "
This time, Soulsqn remained silent for a longer period of time than before. It was only when Jade stumbled to Lin Sanjiu's side that Soulsqn said in a hissing voice, "They are scattered all over the place, preparing their nests and supplies."
Lin Sanjiu nodded. She couldn't tell what was on her mind. She tilted her head and looked at Soulsqn for a moment. Then, she suddenly pointed at the human-shaped flesh worms that were staring at them. "I remember you guys telling me that AYU is a carrier. What does that mean?"
"Our tribe has its own division of labor. AYU is responsible for transporting her kind … Her body can hold more than ten Souls in their original state. She will release the Souls from her body when she finds a suitable carrier … "
"So that's how it is …"
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes. It took her some effort to identify AYU from the pile of flesh worms. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and suddenly smiled. Her eyes lit up, "If that's the case, let your people return to AYU's body. Then, let her wear the human skin again … Hmm, hurry up. There's an airship coming over."
"That won't do," Soulsqn shouted in a hoarse voice, "They are no longer in their original state —"
However, Lin Sanjiu wasn't a very considerate person when it came to the Souls.
Holding the Queen in one hand, she swung her other hand, and a card flew toward one of the souls. The flesh worm twisted its body, thinking that it had just dodged the card. However, the [High Frequency Particle Vibroblade] suddenly poked its head out from the air and shredded the flesh worm in an instant, leaving behind a trail of slime and debris on the floor.
"Even though I want to bring you along, I don't intend to let these things follow me onto the airship," Lin Sanjiu clearly had an idea in her mind. "Either you think of a way, or I'll help you think of a way."
It seemed that the saying that the Souls lost one after another was true, even though they were very reluctant to do so. However, under Soulsqn's command, the remaining Souls still crawled back into AYU's body with much difficulty. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't want to recall that disgusting scene ever again.
When everything was over, there was only a deformed "pregnant woman" and a pile of human skins on the cliff.
Initially, Lin Sanjiu planned to burn the wreckage with fire. However, the airship was getting closer and closer. The cliff was damp, so it wasn't easy to start a fire. Hence, Lin Sanjiu decided to turn eight human skins into cards in one go. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable, so she put the cards in her pocket.
Throughout the entire process, Jade Zhang's face was pale. She looked as if she would vomit at any moment. Even though she had been on the airship for quite some time, her forehead was still drenched in cold sweat.
The sky outside the airship was gradually turning from a light gray to a thick, inky blue.
Lin Sanjiu ignored Soulsqn and seemed to be thinking about something. She shot a glance at Jade Zhang and suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet … How did you manage to escape?"
Jade Zhang immediately shuddered. She raised her hand and wiped her chubby face.
"Come to think of it, it's all fate. The person who survived could have been Walter's … Sigh. In any case, I accidentally made use of the time difference. After this thing, "she pointed at AYU," walks out of Area R. Walter and I were worried that she would look for you, so we wanted to follow her out. However, considering that you and I are both women, he eventually let me go … It was because I left for a short while that I managed to survive. "
"When I followed that thing out, I don't know why. I suddenly read Walter's mind. "When she reached this point, Jade Zhang's voice uncontrollably became sharper," His result was a corpse … Really, he still looked like him. However, he had indeed become a corpse … I was shocked and rushed back to Area R. Nobody was awake. They were all lying on the ground. I don't know if they had fainted or died … except for those two men. "
"Those two men were staring at me. My legs buckled. If I didn't have this, I would have fallen into their trap." Jade Zhang took out a pendant from her collar. It looked like a vulgar jade Buddha pendant. It looked like something that could be bought on the street for ten dollars, and there was nothing special about it.
[You learned your lesson after spending five thousand dollars.]
You were taken to a jewelry store when you went on a trip. You didn't know why, but you spent five thousand dollars to buy this jade Buddha pendant. Your monthly salary is three thousand dollars. This bloody lesson has never left your neck because it can keep you sane at all times.
Effect: Calms the mind, reduces the impact of emotions, prevents fainting.
"No wonder …" Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood. The Souls probably didn't expect someone to be able to stay sane with the help of a Special Item. That was why Jade Zhang managed to fool them for a while. However, she didn't manage to fool Soulsqn.
Jade Zhang sighed and put the jade Buddha pendant back. She couldn't help glancing at the two Souls again.
"Unfortunately, this thing can't help me see through the illusion … How did you defeat this Queen? Doesn't she know how to create reality? "
Lin Sanjiu snorted softly.
"Speaking of which, I really admire her. From a certain point of view, this so-called reality is indeed reality, "Lin Sanjiu said as she adjusted her higher consciousness. As Lin Sanjiu spoke, she discreetly adjusted her Higher Consciousness. Ever since she held Soulsqn in her hands, she had changed the Higher Consciousness that was attached to AYU. She tugged the black leather rope in her hand like a dog, "Come, since it's your ability, why don't you tell us?"
Soulsqn lowered her head and remained silent for a while.
"Descartes …" After some time, a name suddenly popped out of her mouth, startling the two humans. "Have you heard of it? I think, therefore I am. This is the basis of my race's existence. It is also the source of my ability … What you believe in exists. What you don't believe in doesn't exist. What you perceive exists. What you can't perceive doesn't exist. "
In other words, from a second person's point of view, Soulsqn's "reality" didn't exist. However, to Lin Sanjiu, since she could clearly perceive everything, even her higher consciousness could see these "realities". Hence, they became her unique reality and not an illusion. If it weren't for the fact that the Souls were one of the apocalyptic factors, Lin Sanjiu really couldn't think of a second way to turn the tables.
Jade Zhang opened her mouth and thought for a long time before she stammered, "Idealism can actually become a weapon?"
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback by her question. She didn't seem to have thought of this. However, this wasn't the question she wanted to ask.
Even though she wasn't sure if Lin Sanjiu would answer her, she couldn't help feeling bewildered. She asked cautiously, "Also … Why didn't you kill them? Why did you bring them away?"
There was a faint smile in the pair of light amber eyes. The tall woman adjusted the angle of the wings on the back of the sofa and crossed her long legs. Then, she said slowly, "Because … I have an enemy who is doing the exact opposite of what they are doing."
