Where were they born from?
It seemed that many creatures wanted to know the answer, including these creatures called 'black metal'. Or rather, they were a type of creature among the black metal. They could be called 'brain spirits'.
As such curious creatures, they had always been searching for relevant answers.
When they knew how big the world was, when they understood that they were a type of creature, they realized that they were like this …
A creature that lived in a 'dream', or a creature that other creatures called 'energy'.
They could observe the outside world through the eyes of other creatures and obtain knowledge through their memories. However, they were forever imprisoned in the memories of this creature. They could not move freely and could not leave.
They were curious about why they were born and why they came to be.
But before they could find the answer, they had to solve the most important problem at the moment — survival.
They lived in the bodies of certain creatures, but if this creature died, they would also die.
To get out of this predicament, they needed the ability to move at will. How could they do that?
In fact, they already had the answer.
The creatures they lived in were also called 'connectors'. These creatures had some kind of organ that could connect with their own kind's brain nerves.
Therefore, as a parasite in the brain of this creature, the brain spirits could move to another connector's brain when the connectors were connected.
To ensure their own survival, the brain spirits began to observe. They learned to gather to those who looked stronger. In the brain of the connectors who should have a longer lifespan. At the same time, they also extended their own lives.
But in one brain. The brain spirits found that too many brain spirits gathering would cause the connectors to collapse, so they maintained a normal number to maintain the connectors' lives.
The relationship between these two species … lasted for a long time.
Originally, it was a simple symbiotic relationship. The brain spirits did not affect the connectors. They only observed the world through the connectors and observed them eating. Life, reproduction.
At the same time, they also wondered why they did not do these things …
It seemed that after a long time, these brain spirits became more and more confused. They had some kind of way to communicate with their companions in different bodies. They had the same idea, but they could also share opinions with their companions.
They were not like other creatures who needed to constantly run for food and mates. They had more free time to imagine. And they received all kinds of information.
The brain spirits could also reproduce, but through some special methods …
Among the food the Connectors were eating. There were some special substances that the Brain Spirits could use to reproduce whenever they consumed these substances.
But why do they have to do this to reproduce?
Brainsoul didn't know either. Brainsoul's own knowledge was the knowledge of Connectors. When a Connector's child was born, it would know why it was in this world and why it was such a creature.
But there was nothing to tell the Brain Spirit why they had appeared …
They could only imagine for themselves, but they couldn't be sure if their imaginations were correct. After all, everything about them was closely related to the Connectors.
If those who connected lived, they would live. If those who connected died, they would die … If those who connected learned certain knowledge, they would also learn that knowledge.
When the Connectors were asleep, the Brain Spirit could wander around the vast Dream World, but this world was also a manifestation of everything in the Connectors' memories.
Why is everything about us affected by the Connectors?
For the first time, a certain brain spirit had such a thought.
Then, it shared this thought with its own kind. They had more and more doubts … The question 'why' kept appearing in their minds.
They used to think that they were something in the Connectors' brain, or that they were the 'consciousness' of the Connectors. But they realized that wasn't the case.
The Connectors didn't know anything about their existence. They seemed to be meaningless to the Connectors, so the knowledge the Connectors learned had nothing to do with them.
The Brain Spirits thought that they couldn't continue like this. They didn't want to be prisoners in the brain. They wanted to live as free creatures. They wanted to learn what they wanted to know, and not rummage through the knowledge of other creatures to find their own information.
Through the eyes of the Connectors, the Brain Spirits saw many things. They saw fear, war, massacre, slavery, and torture.
A strong race could bully a weak race, control them, kill them, and torture them.
"We can do that too."
A Brain Spirit had this idea.
"If we can't leave the container, then we can control the movement of the container. This way, we can use the container to observe everything in the world."
Then, they started to take action.
The Connectors didn't know where the Brain Spirits were, but the Brain Spirits knew them very well and could communicate with them.
Through dreams, memories, or directly 'voices' in the brain, the Brain Spirits began to try to control this species.
Madness was only the initial effect of the Brain Spirits' actions.
Many Connectors went crazy. The voices in their heads made them think that there was something wrong with them. Soon, they showed signs of neurological damage. They couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and couldn't live a normal life. They could only slowly collapse.
These lunatics died later, along with the Brain Spirits in their heads.
But the Brain Spirits didn't give up. They used all methods to control the Connectors.
In the end, there were some Connectors who survived and didn't go crazy.
They succumbed to the voices in their heads.
…
"Is this real?"
In a cave in the desert, a ball of fur and the Creator's tentacle were looking at the information written on the wall.
Unlike before, the information here was very clear. It recorded what the Brain Spirits experienced when they were born.
But …
"You can't confirm it, right? Fur, "the Creator said. "That's why you asked this question. The information here can only be called a general situation. There's no detailed process. I can't confirm the thoughts of an entity that I don't fully understand, so I can't confirm whether it's real or not, just like I can't confirm your thoughts, Fur."
