"What's your name?"
"Lietta."
Lietta raised her head and looked at the creature with orange hair and four short legs. Its body looked like a puddle of liquid.
From what she knew, 'flesh' was similar to clothes in the eyes of humans.
Lietta did not understand why her brother would wear such a strange 'outfit'.
"Lietta … You can stop nodding now."
When Orange Cat asked Lietta a question, her head was still nodding non-stop. Lietta had only been born for less than a year. During her limited time, she was taught the most important thing, and that was to listen to her elder sister and brother.
Riyetta had always been obedient and conscientious in following the teachings, including now.
When Orange Cat signaled her to stop nodding, she stopped nodding. At the same time, Lietta looked at the members of the Sewing Gang who were playing Little Tyrant in the corner again.
"Can that human be eaten?" Lietta suddenly pointed at one of the members of the Sewing Gang.
"Eat … Are you hungry?"
Orange Cat's hair stood up. Although Lietta had the appearance of a human girl, she was the embodiment of Grey Fog. It was reasonable for her to treat humans as food.
Lietta shook her head. She had just eaten a lizardman this morning. Although it did not taste good, at least it filled her stomach.
Josiah saw through Lietta's gaze that she wanted the Little Tyrant in the hands of the Sewing Gang member.
"Come with me first."
Orange Cat jumped down from the round table in front of Lietta. Lietta also stood up and followed behind Orange Cat.
This was the lounge of the Sewing Gang's leaders. It was also equivalent to Josiah's laboratory. In this place, Josiah built an arcade machine for testing purposes.
Orange Cat brought Lietta to the front of the arcade machine and directly jumped on the console.
Lietta, who originally looked like she wanted to play games, hesitated when she saw the arcade machine. She looked at her left hand.
The left hand that Lietta used to hold the joystick had a dark golden mark. To her, this was a scar …
The moment she held the joystick, not only was her body injured, but the Grey Fog that made up her body was also damaged.
"There is nothing in this arcade machine that will hurt you. Don't worry."
Orange Cat used her paw to press the start button, and the arcade machine was instantly activated. The interface was not a game, but a large selection list of games.
This arcade machine was a collection of all the pixelated games that Josiah had made so far. Regardless of whether it was The Little Tyrant or other arcade games, they could all be played on it.
Lietta could feel that the joystick of the arcade machine … did not have any force that would make her feel pain. She sat in front of the arcade machine again. Before touching the joystick, she carefully looked at Orange Cat.
"Can you read human language?" Orange Cat asked while licking her paw.
"No." Lietta shook her head and told Josiah this … sad news.
This incarnation of Grey Fog was actually illiterate.
"Let me choose."
Orange Cat sat on the console, one paw on the joystick, the other on the four buttons of the arcade machine.
Josiah directly chose the first game that she came into contact with, King of Fighters 97.
The image on the arcade machine instantly changed to that of King of Fighters 97. Lietta's eyes instantly widened.
From the moment she was born, there were only two colors in the world she lived in. One was the grey of her body, and the other was the blood red of living creatures.
However, the arcade machine in front of her showed Lietta a colorful world.
"What do you guys think?"
Josiah observed Lietta's every move through Orange Cat's perspective. Her actions were too different from the Grey Fog that Josiah knew.
Regardless of whether it was anger or hatred, these two were classic antisocial and antihuman personalities. This Liyetta looked more like a newborn baby who didn't know anything.
When Hiri heard Josiah's question, she instantly knew what Josiah was planning to do next. "Are you going to raise her?"
"I'm not interested in that. I'm just thinking that maybe I can make use of her."
Josiah immediately waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of abducting this young Grey Fog.
"Use? Josiah … I don't think she will listen to us. The hierarchy among the Grey Fog is very clear. The orders of the messengers are absolute to the other Grey Fog infected. There should be such a hierarchy among messengers too. "
As someone who had personally experienced the Heretic Tribunal, Qianmian knew that the relationship between the creatures of the Grey Fog was not disorderly. On the contrary, there was a strict hierarchy.
"But it should not be a problem to get some information from her first."
Josiah used Orange Cat's perspective to size up Lietta. Lietta's hands that were pressing hard suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Josiah did not order her to stop.
"My brother is asking for my location."
Lietta shifted his gaze to Orange Cat who was squatting beside his hand.
"Brother? So there are other Grey Fog … "
This was the situation that Josiah did not want to see the most. This city was definitely not only managed by a young Grey Fog like Lietta who could not even recognize words. There must be other Grey Fog creatures.
"Are you going to make her lose consciousness?" Qianmian could not wait to make her move.
"Wait … let me try first."
Orange Cat used her paw to knock on the arcade machine beneath her.
"Listen up, Riyetta. I'm the only one who can let you play with these interesting things. If you tell the other brothers or sisters about this place, they'll destroy it immediately and take you away!"
Lietta also addressed Orange Cat as brother. This meant that in Lietta's mind, Josiah's status might be on the same level as the other Grey Fog creatures.
Under such circumstances, it was up to Lietta's heart to decide whose order she would listen to.
"You only need to answer the brother who called for you. Say, 'I'm patrolling the city, I'll be back soon.'" Josiah immediately thought of the words that Lietta would use to answer the other party.
Lietta glanced at Orange Cat, then looked at the arcade machine screen that was glowing in rainbow colors, and the voice in her mind that kept asking for her location.
'I'm patrolling the city, I'll be back soon.'
Liyetta responded to the voice that kept asking her questions in her mind.
'Patrolling? Why are you patrolling? '
When Lietta heard the question, she fell into silence. In the end, she threw the question to Orange Cat.
"Brother asked me why I'm patrolling," Lietta said.
"Because … because I'm hungry! I'm looking for food! Also, Lietta, repeat what you said in your mind. "
Josiah did not know how the Grey Fog creatures communicated, but the Grey Fog was born from the negative consciousness of intelligent creatures. They communicated with each other using human language, so their lifestyle must be similar to that of humans.
For example … foraging for food.
"Because I'm hungry, I'm looking for food."
Lietta understood Josiah's reason. She repeated it in her mind and repeated it verbally according to Josiah's request.
"Don't eat too much. The food has gone bad recently. Go back soon."
