"What are you trying to find?"
"There is only pain and … pain here."
This place was … a hole in the neural structure.
Lin came here not long ago after digging through the Bus of Pain's hardened neural structure.
But if one had to describe it … this place did not look like a normal cave, but more like a room.
The walls and floor here were all flat and smooth, and the room was 30 meters in length, width, and height.
And in this room … Lin could see a creature.
The creature's appearance was similar to an insect's head. It was white, fat, and 10 meters long like a bee larva.
Other than that, Lin found that there were many other microorganisms here.
These microorganisms were about half a millimeter in size, and they looked like fleas. Their main function seemed to be to maintain the … smoothness of this room.
Lin found that when Lin's minions crawled in, a large number of microorganisms would surround and repair the hole Lin made.
At the same time, they would also attack Lin, but after a few of them were eaten by Lin's minions, they all ran away.
Perhaps because … the creature in the middle noticed Lin.
"Do you want to seek pain here?" The larva-like creature spoke to Lin's minions in the language of the Bus. "You've finally escaped from pain, why do you want to crawl in here? You should leave this place. Although I don't think there is a way to leave, at least … crawl outside. That's right, the pain outside will be less. "
"Escape from pain?" Lin had her minions send a signal to it.
"Why are you asking me that? Could it be …" the larva-like creature was stunned for a moment, then said: "That's impossible, this kind of thing …"
After Lin asked it about it in detail, it told her the truth.
It had thought that Lin was … a 'fragment of a sentient being'.
Many sentient beings were trapped here … these sentient beings were suffering on their own, but occasionally, some special situations would occur.
These sentient beings would occasionally 'peel off' a bit and attach themselves to a microorganism.
Then, this microorganism would crawl all over the hardened neural structure of the Bus.
At first, it had a relatively 'normal' mind, and because it was separated from its original sentient being, it would not feel pain.
But during the crawling process, it would feel that the surrounding neural structure was filled with pain …
Using the Ershi Min as an analogy, it was like walking through a maze filled with the screams of its own kind.
Over time, this microorganism would slowly lose its normal mind and completely lose itself in the maze of pain.
These microbes are called consciousness fragments.
That was what the larva-like creature called it.
The densely packed, flea-like microbes that Lin found in this room were all 'consciousness fragments'.
The larva said that it had been collecting them all the time. It could control the fragments of consciousness that had lost their normal thinking to do some work for itself.
It also told Lin that these flea-like microbes were the 'native species' of the bus.
They had appeared on the surface of the bus a long time ago.
After the surface creatures went through rounds of painful reincarnation, their population was still alive.
It was just that their living area had changed from the surface to the underground … These flea-like creatures mainly lived near the hardened nerves.
Lin didn't find any of these creatures when she drilled in earlier. The larvae indicated that there weren't many of them.
However, they were one of the very few creatures that did not need to feel pain and had emotions.
When the microbes lived in this place, they would occasionally be … affected by the consciousness energy imprisoned in the bus nerves.
Therefore, it became a fragment of consciousness.
In fact, it wasn't the energy of consciousness that controlled the microbes … It was the flea-like microbes that were 'stimulated' by energy.
Sometimes, the consciousness energy in the hardened nerves would attach to the microbes, which would cause the nerves of the microbes to quickly … develop.
At the same time, it would also generate some memories on its own. These memories were the memories of the consciousness energy.
At this time, the flea-like microbes would think that they were this creature, so they would want to escape.
Of course, they didn't know where to go, so they could only drill in this place.
After they felt the pain in the surrounding nerves, they would become more and more … desperate, and finally completely lost.
There were many small gaps in the bus' hardened nerves that allowed them to drill in and out.
Lin didn't find these microbes when she drilled in earlier.
If that was the case … then what was this larva?
It told Lin that it was also a consciousness fragment.
… A consciousness fragment of the Bus of Pain.
The larva told Lin this mainly because Lin sent it some Ershi's … signals.
Each bus had its own special signal, which was similar to the Ershi Min's' accent '.
When sending this special signal, it could express its identity.
It seemed that when these bus creatures learned that it was Ershi … they would be very 'polite'.
So, Lin felt that she could continue to ask it a lot of questions.
However, Lin also found that many of the things it knew were things that Lin had guessed before.
That was, the Bus of Pain had gone completely crazy.
The larva said that it was a small part of the Bus of Pain that separated itself from it before it completely lost its consciousness.
Its task was to fix the Bus of Pain's abnormality.
But in reality, it couldn't do anything … it could only be trapped here until now.
The larva said that it didn't have any special abilities. For example, it couldn't teleport, and it couldn't affect the nerves around it.
Although it could control these microbes, the microbes didn't have much use … mainly because it couldn't leave this place.
Because this hole was a 'safe zone'.
If it left this place, it was likely to be captured and forced into the Bus of Pain, so it had been living here.
At the same time, it also told Lin … that not far from this room was the Bus of Pain's nerves.
"I suggest you don't come into contact with it," the larva said, "It might go crazy with everything."
Despite the larva's words, Lin still decided to dig in and take a look.
The larva didn't stop Lin … it said that it wanted to continue living here.
What it wanted to do now was to maintain the comfortable life it had been living here all this time.
After talking to it, Lin had the miniaturized troop continue to drill down.
Soon, Lin found her target … the remaining nerves of the bus that hadn't hardened yet.
