Inside the brain's blood vessels was a small crystal that slowly floated before the explorer's eyes. The little thing suddenly attracted Lin's attention, mainly due to its familiarity.
One could almost say that it was exactly the same as Lin's Observer crystal, although it was slightly larger in size. Lin still kept the Observer in Bechymos' body, so she could make a good comparison.
Was it just a coincidence? The explorer caught up to the crystal in the blood vessels. Lin found that the crystal had touched a cell and was swallowed by the cell.
The cell was one of the brain's war cells. It seemed that after a long period of battle, it had become different from ordinary immune cells and possessed more powerful abilities.
The explorer chased after the crystal and swallowed the cell.
I'll have to study it properly …
The cell didn't seem to have any special reaction after swallowing the crystal. It didn't push the crystal to the surface and gain vision like Lin did.
Perhaps this wasn't a vision crystal? Some tiny tentacles extended from the explorer's body and tore open the cell to examine the crystal inside. The result was revealed almost instantly. Lin found that the crystal … was actually the same kind of 'vision crystal' as the Observer!
Lin had seen many types of crystals before, but she had never seen one like the one the Observer obtained on the spot. Why was there another one here? There were many crystals in this underwater cavern, but they weren't the same kind of crystals …
It had been a long time since Lin deliberately searched for this crystal. So why was it here? Was it related to the plague fungus' brain?
No matter what. I'll keep this thing for now. Speaking of which, this thing was also very strange.
Ordinary cells didn't have the vision of ordinary creatures. Although they could perceive light and darkness, they couldn't form structures to display detailed images. Even if they obtained a crystal, they might not have a complex enough structure to analyze the images displayed by the crystal. Usually, they would need a brain to analyze complex images.
But there were some exceptions. There were still many complicated mysteries about cells that Lin had yet to unravel. For example, the 'curse' on the plague fungus might be related to cells.
There might be more than one vision crystal. But they should be very small fragments. The plague fungus' brain must have obtained this thing by chance. There might be other fragments elsewhere, or perhaps they were scattered throughout the world? If I collect all of these fragments … Lin didn't think that anything would happen, but if I find them, I'll definitely keep them.
The Drill Explorer then continued to explore the entire brain. After a thorough examination, Lin didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Since that was the case, Lin had the miniature Explorer leave the brain and return to the body of the larger Explorer above the brain. Then, the Brain Reader retracted its nerve connection. They slowly floated up and flew back along their original route.
Lin had completely understood this brain. It was time to end their eternal war.
But what should he do? First, blow it up. Second, get rid of one of the two brains and try to communicate with the other one. This way, he might be able to figure out some things that he didn't know yet, provided that he could communicate with them.
However, it was very likely that they had gone mad after fighting for so long. Although the small brain was operating in all areas, it could not think, and it was impossible to communicate with it. Although it could command the troops to use some tactics, its goal was to kill the other brain.
And if he got rid of one of them … who knew what strange things would happen …
As expected, blowing them up was the right choice … No, he could try both of them. First, let them stop fighting. If there were any problems, he could just blow them up.
That's right, it was the perfect solution!
Then let's begin! The assassins outside the crystal had finished their preparations. Now, the group of ancient squids in the crystal circle were still dancing. However, the ones that came at the beginning seemed to be tired of dancing. They retreated, and another group waiting outside the circle came to dance.
Lin felt that they might dance for a few days, but it was about to end now.
The Assassins appeared from the edge of the crystal and surrounded the crystal that the ancient squids worshipped. The ancient squids that were watching the dance fled when they saw the Assassins suddenly appear, but the ones that were dancing ignored them. They seemed to have closed their eyes and continued to dance.
Lin felt the need to chase them away.
An Assassin approached the dancing ancient squid in the last row. It used its sharp claws to poke its soft body.
The ancient squid turned its eyes to look, then continued to dance … After a few seconds, it seemed to realize that something was wrong. It suddenly changed into a red color and rushed into the group of ancient squids that were dancing in front of it. A few of the ancient squids seemed to be very angry after being hit by it. They grabbed the ancient squid that was rushing here and there, ready to tear it apart, but then they saw the Assassins surrounding them.
These ancient squids panicked. They ran around like the one before, waking up even more ancient squids.
At this moment, all the ancient squids that were dancing were frantically running away. Lin thought that they would try to protect the object of their worship, but they did not seem to have that thought. It seemed that because they had danced for too long, their brains were affected by too many signals, so they did not even know where to run to.
Lin ignored them. The Assassins passed through the group of panicked ancient squids and climbed onto the huge crystal. They slowly dug a large hole in the crystal. The crystal was not very hard, so it was easier to dig.
The Assassins burrowed into the hole, and the huge head appeared in front of them.
Now, the Assassins only needed to use their sharp claws to cut off the connection between the big and small heads. They could cut off the war that had lasted for thousands of years!
Then do it.
The Assassins' sharp claws rose and fell instantly, cutting off the part that connected the two heads. This part was made up of cortical-like cells. It did not have any important structure, and it was unknown which side made it. Moreover, this part had always been the battlefield of the two armies.
But now, it was cut off.
After being cut off, the small head fell to the ground. A large amount of liquid gushed out from the cut. This was not blood, so it was not harmful to them.
