"Argh …"
After an unknown amount of time, the unconscious prisoners opened their eyes one by one. Only then did they realize that the shadow tentacles that bound their bodies had disappeared at some point in time, and they were lying haphazardly on the cold concrete floor. As for the young man, he was sitting leisurely on the sofa, holding a pocket watch and watching them.
"Three hours? That's a little too long … "
What are you trying to do, you bastard?
Looking at the young man before them, one of them wanted to snarl. But at the next moment, he was horrified to discover that it wasn't his own voice that came out of his mouth. Instead, it was a beastly howl that sounded like a 'ha … ha …'!
"The language central system was destroyed again?"
Looking at the prisoners who opened their mouths and let out beast-like howls, Fangzheng helplessly held his forehead and shook his head.
"What a headache. Forget it, let's look at the other aspects first … Stand up!"
Following Fangzheng's command, the prisoners were surprised to find that their bodies didn't seem to belong to them at all. They quickly stood up and remained motionless.
"Turn around! Squat down! Reach out! Undress! Dance Jiangnan Style! "
According to Fangzheng's orders, the prisoners did one action after another until the last order, which was when they collectively froze …
"Very good, the motor nervous system is connected normally this time, and the other aspects seem to be fused well. It seems that only the thought and language central systems need to be fused again …"
Looking at the prisoners in front of him with satisfaction, Fangzheng muttered to himself, picked up a pen, and made a tick on the paper beside him.
"Well then, come out."
"Huh? Huh? Huh?! "
As soon as Fangzheng's voice fell, the prisoners felt as if something was wriggling in their heads, as if an octopus was wriggling on the smooth surface of their brains. Then, their skulls were drilled open like cans, and tentacles emerged from their nostrils, mouths, and the top of their heads …
"Ahhhhhh —!"
The intense pain made the prisoners scream involuntarily. They trembled and screamed, but couldn't move at all. They could only feel their brains being torn apart and devoured piece by piece. Then … the prisoners who were screaming in pain lost their breath. Their eyes stared blankly ahead like lifeless dolls. As for those trembling tentacles, it was unknown when they had completely retracted.
"Hmm …"
Fangzheng put down the pen in his hand, stepped forward, and carefully observed the prisoners. Then, he shook his head.
"This won't do. It's fine to disguise as a vagrant under the overpass, but to disguise as the original owner … It's still not enough."
"So, do we need to adjust it further?"
Along with this voice, an Insect Queen walked out of the tunnel on the other side of Fangzheng. She was Milune's assistant, Lulana.
"Why don't we change the mode?"
Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Separate the memory part from the thinking part. Read the memory and set the way of thinking to act. At least, the appearance should not change."
"In other words, we still need to conduct further research on the human brain?"
"Anyway, there are plenty of test subjects here. Let's take it slow."
As Milune's assistant, Lulana did not focus on improving the overall quality of the Zerg. Instead, she focused on improving a certain characteristic. In fact, a long time ago, Lulana had suggested to Fangzheng through the Zerg network. She believed that the Zerg lacked the means to monitor, infect, and control the enemy. Even the slime could only imitate the appearance of the enemy. Therefore, Lulana hoped that Fangzheng would allow her to improve the Zerg's' scouts'.
Because this plan was not humane, Fangzheng had never agreed. After all, he had no enmity with the humans of the Predator World, and it was meaningless to use those Predator Races for experiments. But in this world, Fangzheng suddenly found that sometimes "inhumane" was a good thing. So he finally nodded and agreed to Lulana's proposal and used the humans of the Dark World as test subjects to create the 'scouts'.
Lulana's modulation was based on the Alien's "facehugger" and improved on it. Originally, the facehugger injected the "eggs" into the human body and turned them into Alien larvae. But for the Zerg, now that the Aliens had been separated from this system, they were the same as the Zerglings and Hydralisks. Therefore, the ability of the facehugger was not necessary.
Originally, according to the rules of the Zerg, the useless parts should be discarded together. Later, Fangzheng felt that the Aliens were a classic work of his world, and it would be good to keep a few facehuggers and Alien eggs as a memento, so he kept them. Now, it seemed that they had come in handy.
Not only that, Fangzheng fully referred to the experience of various biochemical horror movies in his world, and also gave certain requirements for these "scouts". In order to prevent them from being found abnormal by the protagonists through X-rays, CT scans, or blood tests like the unlucky ones in the movies, Fangzheng suggested that after the facehugger injected the "eggs" into the human body, it would use the Zerg genes to assimilate the capillaries and gradually control the brain.
But now it seemed that it was still too difficult to achieve the level of complete control of another intelligent creature's brain, so he could only take a step back first.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, Lulana."
"Yes, Master."
After leaving the laboratory, Fangzheng returned to the Tendo Temple. This was the advantage of having a personal space. No matter which world he was in, he could return to his home to rest.
"Click."
"Ah, Brother Fangzheng, you're back."
"Oh, it's Xia Shi."
After pushing open the door, Fangzheng was taken aback at the sight of the little girl before him. Then, he smiled and nodded at her.
After the children arrived at the Tendo Temple, Delia came up with a system called the "maid team". In short, the cursed children were required to take care of Fangzheng's daily life, such as cleaning, cooking, washing, serving tea, and other daily chores. With the strong support of Hecate and Delia, and the NIMF not objecting, Fangzheng nodded in agreement.
After the first round of 'selection' by Delia, Qianshou Xia Shi, Tina, and Shi Cui were 'appointed' as Fangzheng's personal maids. Among them, Xia Shi and Cui were in charge of the day, while Tina was in charge of guarding the night. Who told owls to be night owls?
But this way, the relationship between Tina and Delia improved. The two of them didn't sleep at night and would often hang out together. Fangzheng was glad to see this happen. After all, Delia was an artificial angel who couldn't dream, let alone sleep. She was too lonely by herself, so it was great to have Tina accompany her.
"I'm back."
Fangzheng greeted Xia Shi and sat on the chair. Xia Shi obediently served him a cup of tea.
"Please have some tea, Big Brother Fangzheng."
"Thank you."
Picking up the fragrant teacup, Fangzheng took a sip of the hot tea. Looking at the girl in front of him, he felt that the tiredness from being out all day had disappeared. Perhaps this was the feeling of home.
But at the next moment, Fangzheng discovered Xia Shi gazing at him quietly. Then, she sat down beside him.
"Xia Shi …?"
Facing Fangzheng's question, Xia Shi didn't answer. She poked her head out and rubbed against Fangzheng like a small animal. Then, she twitched her little nose. Then, she opened her eyes and gazed at Fangzheng quietly.
"Big Brother Fangzheng, there's the smell of blood on you."
"Is there? It seems that the first thing I do when I come back is to shower and change my clothes. "
Hearing Xia Shi's words, Fangzheng's heart skipped a beat. But soon, he smiled and tried to change the topic. But … the little girl obviously didn't intend to let him get away with it.
"We all know that Big Brother Fangzheng has done a lot for us …"
While speaking, Xia Shi reached out and grabbed Fangzheng's sleeve. Her pair of pure eyes stared at him without blinking.
"We also want to contribute our strength to Big Brother Fangzheng. Ever since Big Brother Fangzheng rescued us, our lives and strength belong to Big Brother Fangzheng forever. So, no matter what Big Brother Fangzheng tells us to do, we will do it, even if it means killing … "
But before Xia Shi could finish her words, Fangzheng extended a finger and blocked her mouth, stopping her from continuing.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but … you don't have to do this. Everyone has their own things to do. You are still children. If it's 10 or 20 years later, perhaps I will let you make a choice. But for now, you just need to live an ordinary and peaceful life every day. To be honest, if it's possible, I don't even want you to fight with primitive animals. You should have seen a swarm of insects. When it comes to fighting and killing, they are professionals. With them around, I don't need you to get involved in these things. I'm very happy with your determination, but I hope you understand that it's still too early for you … "
Having said until here, Fangzheng extended his hand and stroked Xia Shi's little head.
"… What you need to do now is to enjoy a peaceful life here. This is the life that children of your age should have."
"… Big Brother Fangzheng …"
Feeling Fangzheng's touch, Xia Shi's cheeks blushed. She closed her eyes, lowered her head, and leaned into Fangzheng's embrace.
