Fangzheng looked up when he heard the voice. He saw a girl with long black hair, fair skin, and a white dress. She looked to be around 12 or 13 years old. She was standing on the stairs and looking at him anxiously. Fangzheng sized her up and nodded.
"Not bad. Come and sit down."
If this was his original world, his roommates would have already pounced on her and shouted "Honey".
But then again … would they really pounce on her?
It must be noted that Saya's form was actually the same as Musisha's husky form. She was bound by the outer shell modified by Nimf using information. There were no changes on the inside. In other words, although she looked like a beautiful girl on the surface, if you cut open her body, you would find that there were still wriggling chunks of flesh under her skin.
Not to mention the story of Lord Ye's love for dragons ….
As the ruler of the Zerg, Fangzheng had seen a lot of such things, but it was hard to say for other people.
The girl walked over hesitantly and sat on the sofa opposite Fangzheng. Fangzheng stared at her.
"So … let's talk about it first. What's your name?"
"I-I'm Saya. My dad gave me the name."
"Is that so? Then why did you come to the hospital? "
"I'm here to look for my dad."
Saya seemed a little depressed.
"Dad hasn't been back for a long time. I don't know where he is or what he's doing, so I'm wondering if he's at work …."
"What's your father's name?"
"Okuya Masahiko."
"Is that so …."
Fangzheng closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He then looked at Saya again.
"So, Saya, what do you want to do after you find your father?"
"I …."
Saya hesitated for a moment in response to Fangzheng's question.
"I … want to go back to where I came from. Dad must know where that place is …."
"Then, do you know what you are?"
"…."
This time, Shaye shook his head at Fangzheng's question.
"I'm not sure. Dad never told me, but I know I'm different from those things out there. I'm not human, and my food is completely different from humans …"
Oh, she's quite an honest girl.
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shaye who had revealed everything. However, it made sense when he thought about it. The reason why Shaye was interested in Yu Ji in the game was because Yu Ji was the only one who could see her 'true face', while the others could only see her flesh. Under such circumstances, Shaye would definitely hide some information about herself, but now that everything about her had been seen through by Fangzheng, there was no point in hiding anymore.
"If you want to go back, I can help you."
"Really?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shaye's eyes widened in shock.
"Why?"
"Because I have something to discuss with your mother."
"My … … mother?"
Shaye tilted her head in confusion when she heard this unexpected answer.
"But dad was alone, and he never mentioned that I have a mother, right?"
"The mother I'm talking about is the mother who gave birth to you."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Shaye.
"The Goddess of Darkness and Fertility, the Supreme Matriarch, the Black Goat of the Forest who gave birth to thousands of children — Shub-Nicholas."
"Sabu... Nicholas?"
Shaye's voice began to tremble.
"I … I've never heard of this name before, but for some reason, it feels familiar … as if, as if I should know it …."
"That's right, it's your mother."
Fangzheng crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Shaye with a smile.
"You are the child of Shub-Nicholas — the Black Goat cub. The human you call father somehow opened a portal to Shub-Nicholas' world, and you were drawn to this world. That's why you're here. Do you understand now? "
"I … I'm …."
Shaye's expression gradually became distorted when she heard Fangzheng's words. Her body began to tremble. Then, she suddenly hugged her head.
"I … .I … .AH …!!!"
"Master, what's wrong with her?"
Nimufu asked in puzzlement as she looked at Shaye who was in agony. Fangzheng shook his head.
"She's probably aware of her own instincts. It's a battle between reason and instinct. Let's see what she chooses next."
The children of Shub-Nicholas always prioritized reproduction. Their nature was more like some kind of terrifying locusts. No matter where they went, all they wanted to do was to keep reproducing, reproducing, and reproducing until they covered and changed the entire world.
But Shaye was different.
After she was summoned to this world, she was taught some knowledge by Aoya Masahiko, and through this knowledge, she awakened her emotions.
The difference between humans and animals was that animals prioritized reproduction, while humans longed to find love. As a dimensional lifeform that was more advanced than humans, Shaye had also awakened the element of emotions. Humans were no longer as simple as simply wanting to reproduce like animals. Instead, they invested their feelings, souls, and willpower into their reproduction.
That was why animals had estrus, but humans did not have such a restriction.
Using the standard of a "Black Goat Cub", Shaye, who awakened her self-awareness after birth and did not follow her instincts to reproduce and change the world, but instead searched for emotions everywhere, was obviously a failure. It was like a Hydralisk that sang, jumped, and played basketball all day in a swarm of insects.
"Are you okay?"
"I don't think so …. Have you dealt with your Information Constraint?"
"Yes, Master. I've completely isolated Miss Shaye's Information Erosion and Deflection. Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems."
"That's good."
Fangzheng nodded when he heard Nimf's answer. The little angel's Information Manipulation was the best in the world. If she said there was no problem, then there must be no problem. All Fangzheng had to do now was wait patiently.
After a long while, Shaye finally calmed down.
"I … I remember now."
She muttered to herself and looked at the ground.
"I'm … I'm a cub of a Black Goat. My mission is to find a new world, reproduce, occupy, and spread … but …"
"But?"
"But … that's not right … right?"
Shaye raised her head and looked at Fangzheng cautiously.
"Isn't it because there's love that we reproduce?"
"Hehe, what you said makes sense."
Fangzheng chuckled at Shaye's answer. It was obvious that Shaye had indeed been poisoned by human civilization. There was no such thing in the primitive era. Blind dates and love were out of the question. If any primitive man fancied a female, he could just knock her out with a stick and bring her back to his nest.
Simple, convenient, and direct. As for love or not … .who cared?
There were plenty of such strange things in the animal kingdom.
For example, the most enviable animal was Bonobo. They would have sex with each other when greeting each other, they would have sex with each other when settling disputes, and they would have sex with each other when fighting. In human society, this was practically the most obscene setting in a novel.
It was the same with the fur seals. Their food was penguins, but they wouldn't eat the penguins immediately after catching them. Instead, they would engage in inhumane sex with them until the penguins begged for death and could no longer be eaten.
Compared to these strange things in the natural world, the reproduction method of a Black Goat cub was quite normal.
Unfortunately, Shaye was "unlucky" to have learned human knowledge and gained unnecessary "feelings".
"I, I want to go back. I want to ask my mother what our true mission is …."
Shaye looked at Fangzheng as she spoke. Fangzheng shrugged.
Oh, now it seemed that she had learned something else as well.
That was curiosity.
"No problem. I'll help you too. As I told you before, I also have something to discuss with your mother."
"So, what do you want to talk to my mother about?"
"That's a private matter."
Fangzheng chuckled. As for Saya, she pursed her lips and revealed a look of displeasure. Her personality was as innocent as an ordinary girl's. She was very direct and didn't have any frivolous thoughts. If she was unhappy, she would express it directly.
"You'll know when I see your mother."
After a short conversation, Fangzheng made a decision.
"Then, you stay here for the time being. We'll go find your father tomorrow morning."
"Okay!!"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shaye immediately smiled and nodded happily.
At this moment, she was no different from an ordinary girl.
Just like that, the night passed.
Early the next morning, Fangzheng drove everyone to Professor Akihiko Okuya's residence under Shaye's guidance.
Like Fangzheng, the professor lived in a rather remote place with basically no one around. But that was normal. After all, he was raising Shaye. If this monster was discovered in a densely populated area, it would definitely become news. Akihiko Okuya was not a fool. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to expose his research target.
But …
"Ugh …."
After opening the door, Fangzheng's face turned bitter when he smelled the stench.
"Aren't you going to clean up?"
"I wanted to help, but at that time … I couldn't …."
Shaye looked at her body with a complicated expression. She knew that her appearance was far from that of a human. Although she had learned a lot from Professor Akihiko Okuya, she was not good at information manipulation. Therefore, Shaye could not understand how the little girl, who seemed to be about the same age as her, managed to do that.
Due to her instinct as a dependent, Shaye could also sense that the blue-haired little girl was not a living thing, and neither was the young girl who grabbed her. She could not even tell what kind of existence the other party was.
In short, Shaye felt that if edible creatures were like fruits, then the blue-haired little girl was like some kind of metal, and the young girl was more like plastic. As for the man in front of her …. He was like a ball of fire that Shaye did not dare to approach.
But what made her even more afraid was ….
"Roar —!"
"Eek!!"
Hearing the husky's growl coming from behind her, Shaye jumped to the side in fright and hid behind Fangzheng. For some reason, Shaye was very afraid of the big dog. Even in her original form, Shaye had eaten a lot of cats and dogs, but the feeling the dog gave her was completely different from other animals. She could instinctively feel that the dog was a higher existence that was far stronger than her ….
This was to be expected. Musisha was the Lord of Tindaros. As the enemy of Yogsothoth, his status and strength were not much lower than the Three Pillar Gods. Shaye was at most a dependent of an Outer God, so she would naturally feel instinctively afraid of the Lord of Tindaros.
"This room is a mess."
Fangzheng stood at the door and waved his hand to disperse the stench before walking in.
"Alright, let's go in and take a look."
