The Petrachelys, the laboratory section.
Four corpses were safely transported to the spacecraft's laboratory and immediately transferred to a sealed container with a scanning function. These humanoid creatures, as tall as mythical giants, were suspended in the air under the effect of the anti-gravity field. Their bodies were glowing in a pale blue halo — it was the relevant equipment scanning their body structure.
"That's all we found. The pilots of the black battleship, a race of giants." Hao Ren pointed to one of the containers. "Except for their skin color and body shape, they are basically no different from humans. But their bodies are definitely not ordinary. They have been soaking in the bottom of Io for more than 10,000 years, but there is no sign of decay. It looks like they have just died. "
Nangong Sanba raised his head. "Oh my... these guys are really big. No wonder the size of their spaceships is also so exaggerated. "
"I remember the 'bomb' we picked up on the Zalazarn." Vivian suddenly touched Hao Ren's arm. "At that time, we thought it was a cannonball. But now, based on the size of these giants, I'm afraid that thing is an explosive bullet... or a small grenade?"
Hao Ren thought for a moment. "Or maybe it's the cluster charge in the cluster bomb?"
Lily poked both of their arms. "You guys have nothing better to do than to study this."
The MDT circled around a few containers a few times, and a bunch of holographic projections floated over. "They have two sets of all the important organs in their bodies. Their bones are rich in metal, and the abdominal and thoracic plates are semi-enclosed like armor. The somatic cell strength is extremely high, almost at the limit of natural evolution. To be honest, this race is ridiculously strong. I even suspect that they did not evolve naturally. "
"Why did they destroy Io?" Shaqira looked up at the giants with light red skin. The scales on the lower half of her cheeks shimmered, and her tail wagged excitedly in the air. "Who did we offend?"
"I guess it has something to do with the brain monsters." Hao Ren shrugged. "MDT, check if they have been controlled by the brain monsters. Their brains should have signs of damage..."
"About this …" The MDT's voice became strange. "I actually have a different opinion."
Everyone pricked up their ears and widened their eyes. The MDT turned on a new set of holographic projections in the air. "Be prepared. The images and the associative effect may affect your appetite."
The holographic projection showed the scans of the giants' heads, and their brain structures were clearly visible.
"Doesn't it look familiar?" The MDT shook its body in front of Hao Ren.
Lily's eyes widened and she suddenly exclaimed, "Their brains …"
"It's a very obvious lesion. The brain is so swollen that it almost bursts the skull, and there is a clear separation between the brain tissue and the surrounding flesh. There are some abnormal structures in the lower half of the brain tissue. This should only be the state of the lesion process, not the final result," the MDT said as it started the evolution program. The holographic projection peeled off the skull, hair, skin and other structures of the giants, showing only the state of the brain. As the simulation continued, the shape of the brain began to change slowly. "If this lesion trend continues, then part of their brain structure will engulf, extract and distort parts of the organs in the chest cavity. There will also be some unpredictable situations. I can only roughly deduce that it will become like this... "
At the end of the evolution program, an irregular mass of flesh suspended in the air appeared in front of everyone. It had the shape of a brain, and the lower half was a bunch of strange tentacles.
"Brain monster..." Hao Ren muttered to himself. "... Vivian, don't cook tonight."
Nangong Sanba also pressed his chest. "Uh, I don't have to cook either."
Lily's ears pricked up. "Okay, okay. Battie, save their dinner for me!"
Everyone immediately looked at the magical husky, who was not aware of it. "Why are you looking at me? Eating is the most important thing in the world. Who knows how many disgusting things we'll see in the future. If we don't improve our resistance now, we'll starve to death. Don't you have any foresight... "
Vivian slapped her forehead. "Why does this husky always become like a wise man in strange places?"
Y 'zaks looked at the evolution of the brain monster and was a little stunned. The great demon had seen a lot of things in his life. He had experienced being ganged up on by the whole world, but he had never seen such a wonderful' evolution phenomenon '. He scratched his big bald head. "Could it be that the brain monster is a mutation of the giant's brain?"
"It could be a mutation, a lesion, or something else. For example, the brain itself is a parasitic organism on the giant's body. After the body dies, it will try to escape and live on its own." The MDT swayed left and right in the air. "Don't think it's unbelievable. There's a creature called 'Blood Progenitor X'. It's still in a liquid state and lives by parasitizing other organisms as blood. They're the main inhabitants of the Wykat Civilization Sphere. The world is wonderful. "
Y 'zaks was stunned for a long time. He muttered to himself, "Nature is really amazing..."
Lily blinked. "That is to say, the giants don't have brains and can't think. They're actually the 'vehicle' of the brain?"
"As expected of a novelist, your brain is really flexible. But it's just a hypothesis. The possibility is not high." The MDT shook its body. "I've just tested the genetic factors of the brain and other tissues. There's a high degree of consistency, so parasitism is ruled out. The separation of the giant's brain and mutation into the brain monster should be the result of some kind of mutation. According to the worldview of most intelligent races, this is a terrible mutation and almost impossible to be the result of nature. In any case, this is the biggest brain hole I've ever seen … "
"Looking at the mutation of these brain tissues, this should have happened before and after they attacked Io," Nangong Sanba guessed. "That is to say, when the giants were still giants, they just passed by Io. But after their brains went out of control, they returned to Io and went crazy. After Io was destroyed, some of the surviving giants became the brain monster — the one on Earth should be it."
Hao Ren immediately understood. "If the brain monster is a mutation of the giants, then the brain monster in Holletta should be the same!"
"That is to say, the entire race of giants mutated into those big brains?" Vivian suddenly understood what Hao Ren meant. These giants in front of them were passing by Io in a spaceship, which was billions of light years away from Holletta. Theoretically, the brain monster that mutated on this spaceship should not appear in Holletta. So there was only one possibility: the giants in other parts of the universe had also experienced this terrible thing, so there were also brain monsters in Holletta!
This time, even the siren queen had no time to study why these giants wanted to destroy Io. She was already creeped out by this terrible mutation. "What the hell happened to these giants..."
Hao Ren grabbed the MDT and said, "I'll go to the lab next door and ask the person involved!"
The MDT immediately yelled, "Hey, hey, hey! Be gentle! Can't you be more professional when using precision equipment? You're holding it the wrong way... F * ck, you've hit my second left corner on the door frame! "
After Hao Ren rushed out with the MDT, Lily and Vivian looked at each other. "I feel that the symptoms of Mr. Landlord's PDA are getting worse."
"If you could watch less Korean dramas, it wouldn't be like this."
"Is it my fault?"
As the giant samples were accidentally found, there was no time to make room for them in the main lab, so they were placed in the spare lab, which was only a wall away from the main lab where the brain monster was placed. Hao Ren ran next door with the MDT and activated the container tube in the middle of the room. The silver-white alloy wall outside the container slowly descended, and Hao Ren saw the giant brain was still quietly floating in the container.
"Hey, Big Brain!" Hao Ren did not choose to use the mind link because it was not necessary this time. "Let me show you something!"
While saying, he activated the MDT's holographic projection and showed the image of the giants next door to the giant brain.
"Look at these, you should know them. Is there anyone you know?"
Hao Ren thought that this time, the giant brain would definitely have some reaction, at least not like before, it would not cooperate no matter if it was violent or not. But the result was — the latter did not move.
"What's going on?" Hao Ren stepped forward and knocked on the wall of the tube. "Dead?"
The MDT activated the device to check the status of the brain monster, and suddenly let out a shrill scream. "It's gone!"
