"We can't be controlled by it anymore!"
This was a dream world that was flickering with crystal light.
Lin was observing this world.
Not long ago, a group of nailed people were talking to a 'willow tree.'
This' willow tree 'was actually a terrifying parasite. It had been living in their bodies for a long time.
At first, it was in the form of a microorganism, but now it was living in their dreams.
The dream world was a necessity for nailed people. They had to connect to the dream world to produce life necessities.
But there was another thing they needed to live, and that was … energy.
They could swallow things into their bodies, and then let their organs break it down into fuel for the 'energy furnace.'
The nailed people's lives were completely supported by the 'energy furnace.' They used to use other things, but later they changed it to the pain crystals.
Although they originally dug out the pain crystals to deal with the terrifying parasite, it was very successful.
They used the pain energy to deal with the microorganism and the 'virus' that made them crazy. But in the end, when they communicated with the parasite, they found that the parasite was quite supportive of them digging out the pain crystals.
The parasite had always let them dig out more pain crystals and research more pain energy related technology.
It even gave them suggestions when they encountered problems.
Just like this time.
But this time it wasn't a suggestion, but an order.
"You have to deal with the source, or I will deal with you."
After giving this order, the Terror Parasite disappeared. The remaining few nailed people were very distressed and angry.
For a long time, the parasite was like a bomb buried in their bodies, threatening the lives of their entire race.
Now they were hesitating.
Because the parasite had just given them the location of the Bus of Pain. What they needed to do now was to go there … and deal with the bus.
But the nailed people were hesitating whether they should deal with the bus or the parasite.
They had been enduring the parasite for a long time, but they weren't just enduring it. They had been studying what the parasite was and how to deal with it.
So far, they had studied many methods, but they hadn't tested them.
Now … they felt that maybe they should start acting.
Lin was also very interested in the parasite. It seemed to know a lot of things, including the bus and the pain energy.
"Report! Begin executing the parasite extermination plan! Repeat 100 times! Begin executing the parasite extermination plan! Begin … "
Suddenly, Lin noticed that the nailed people who had finished communicating with the parasites were suddenly repeating the same words in their minds.
They seemed to be sending this message to all of their kind around them.
Lin noticed that after this message was sent out, the nail-shaped warships floating in the void all reacted.
They all began to cut off one by one … Signal output.
So that's how it is. It seems that they want to close the Dream World.
Their dreamworlds weren't actually made up of dreamforce.
Instead, it was something similar to an 'electric network'.
The Horrifying Parasite was a parasite in their network.
Moreover, Lin believed that it was a dream creature or something. Of course, dream creatures could also invade these 'networks', as long as the devices maintaining the network could be invaded by dream energy.
At the same time, the parasites could also live in the brains of some or a group of nailed people and use their brains to connect to the network.
In addition … there might be other reasons.
In short, after the Nailed Folk cut off all the connections, it would definitely have some impact on it.
Lin, who had been following them all the way here, could sense from the void that all the nail-shaped warships had cut off their connections.
The 'Dream World' they formed had also disappeared.
This couldn't last too long because the nailed people had a rather special characteristic. They had to periodically obtain some special 'data' in the Dream World in order to start the next phase of their lives.
Simply put, their lifespans were 'segmented', and after a certain period of time, their bodies would stop functioning.
And what they had to do was to obtain some data from the network before they stopped functioning, so that they could start the next phase of their lives and continue functioning.
Lin didn't know why they were like this, and she didn't know if it had anything to do with the random deaths caused by the parasites in the past.
So far, the history Lin knew was only the general history of the parasites.
But obviously, if she continued to pay attention, Lin would know all of their history.
Although the miniscule troop class in the brain could only know their current thoughts through the Crystal of Pain, the nailed people would recall a lot of the past when they encountered something.
For example, when they communicated with the parasites, they would recall the history of their population and the parasites.
And when they turned off the Dream World's network, they would recall the reason why they relied on this network.
But they didn't recall the reason why the Dream World's network was formed, so Lin didn't know yet.
But she should know after a while.
That is, if there was a while to wait.
"You dare to do such a thing? Are you looking forward to the horror of extinction? "
Not long after turning off the Dream World, Lin found that a signal was transmitted into the nailed people's minds.
It wasn't just the few nailed people that Lin observed, it seemed that every nailed person on the battleship received this signal.
It seemed that … they had no way to destroy this parasite.
Boom!!!
A few seconds after the signal was sent, Lin saw one of the nailed battleships explode.
This battleship was only about a hundred kilometers away from Lin's velvet ball, so it was quite close.
At this moment, all the surrounding battleships turned their heads … to the source of the destruction.
They and Lin both saw that something had flown over and hit the battleship.
And the source of the thing … slowly revealed itself.
Somewhere in the void was a blur, followed by flashes of light, and then a huge object appeared … in the void.
Lin found that this object was also a nail-shaped battleship, but it was much bigger than all the other battleships here.
And to be precise, it wasn't nail-shaped, but … needle-shaped, because its' head 'was spherical.
"Has it been here all this time?"
"We … didn't notice it?"
The nail-biter people were shocked by the appearance of this thing.
And Lin felt that this thing … was somewhat familiar.
