Gray came to the First Research Institute as a general.
He was extremely nervous along the way. Every fellow he met was a figure at the top of the pyramid of civilization.
Because the general's status was high enough, everyone bowed to him. He was useless and almost exposed himself several times.
In the end, Lan Mu didn't even bother to save his energy. He took full control of this body and walked into the center of the research institute.
His aura was much more stable than Gray's. He stepped into a research mechanism in a dignified manner.
A few officers followed behind him. They had been following the general since he left the house. They were more or less the type of personal attendants.
They were still wondering what was wrong with the general today. Why was he putting on such airs?
Usually, the general didn't have such a powerful aura. But today, his aura changed so much that the attendants didn't dare to ask.
There were attendants to take care of all the details along the way. Lan Mu only needed to state his purpose for coming and he could go straight to his destination.
Everyone who saw Lan Mu had to bow respectfully. After all, the military was the ruling class of civilization.
"The Bastet Metal is over there … The Void Cloud is over here."
"What I'm going to do later will probably involve Zhuo Yue. It's not too late to find her first."
Lan Mu inspected the Void Cloud Research Center for a while, and he finally saw the Void Cloud.
After confirming that the Void Cloud was here, he turned around.
"Where's the Earth Emissary? I have something to ask her. "
The attendants were puzzled. "General Codd, this kind of secret … why are you asking us?"
Lan Mu's expression didn't change. His spiritual power kept expanding as he searched for Zhuo Yue.
He didn't want to use his spiritual power so openly because he had already investigated beforehand. There were many spiritual power users in the research institute. It would be easy for them to discover his unbridled spiritual power scanning.
More and more spiritual power users discovered him and questioned him, but he didn't respond.
The more Lan Mu said, the more mistakes he would make. If he revealed his identity, those spiritual power users might ask, "How do you have such powerful spiritual power?"
These spiritual power users were like fireflies compared to Lan Mu.
So he simply ignored them. He quickly found Zhuo Yue's position and walked over.
However, halfway there, Lan Mu's keen sixth sense sensed that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, but they weren't real gazes. That feeling was a strange touch to his soul, a bit like the feeling when he was with Themis.
"This … should be an artificial intelligence … Have I aroused the suspicion of the research institute's mainframe?"
Lan Mu's guess was correct. The greatest quantum brain of the entire civilization had discovered his abnormality.
This was the so-called cloud brain. It gathered the brainpower of billions of intelligent creatures and entrusted all the hopes of technological development to it. It was the strongest thinker of the civilization.
It was also the only intelligent lifeform that could detect soul fluctuations because it had created a quantum soul for itself.
At this moment, the general guarding Zhuo Yue received an order from the mainframe.
"General Codd's destination is the Earth Emissary. Once he takes away or harms the Earth Emissary, arrest him immediately."
The general who had received the order was baffled and said, "General Codd? Why? "
"I've already asked the leader. General Codd's soul is abnormal. He's no longer Codd." The Cortex Prime did not mention any probabilities. Even its tone of voice was no different from that of an intelligent life.
"Is there such a thing? Did the sulfur-based creatures replace General Codd? "
"Perhaps."
…
When Lan Mu was about to arrive at Zhuo Yue's location, he had already observed through his spiritual power that there were abnormal troop movements.
The secret encirclement had already begun. Zhuo Yue's location had become a tiger's den.
"It's really difficult to disguise oneself in the high-tech field."
Lan Mu did not take this tiger's den seriously. After he had confirmed Zhuo Yue's safety, he had deliberately waited another day before coming. At this time, his forced transformation period had already passed.
The reason why he had to disguise himself as much as possible was that he did not want to transform and start a battle.
Because …
"Gray, are you nervous?"
Gray's consciousness was no longer nervous. Seeing that under Lan Mu's control, many people who used to be high and mighty were extremely obedient, he was secretly pleased.
"Don't worry. You can use my body freely. Only you can not let them discover that we're fake."
Lan Mu said, "No, we've already been discovered. Right now, I'm walking into the enemy's encirclement."
"Ah? Then why do you still want to go in? Don't you have that kind of escape technique … Uh, sorry, I'm not doubting you. I believe in your strength. You're definitely not afraid, right? "Gray quickly reacted. He had gradually adapted to the situation of having a big boss in his body.
Lan Mu said, "Of course I'm not afraid. Today, I'll leave your body and show my true strength."
Gray was overjoyed. "Really! Leave my body and fight them head-on? But this way, the disguise will be exposed … Right, you also said that this is my second form. I can change back to my original form at any time … I can still live like before … Haha. "
"When you're done with your matters, I can go home and get married …"
This guy had no sense of belonging to his civilization at all. He was talking to an alien about harming his civilization.
In his heart, he could not let go of those important matters. He only wanted to be with his beloved. Nothing else mattered. He did not even think about what Lan Mu was going to do.
However, Lan Mu said, "There's one thing I haven't told you …"
"Please speak."
"When I leave your body, you'll die," Lan Mu said.
"…"
Gray was silent for a moment before saying, "You're joking, right? I'm already very obedient. I'm already … Are you unwilling to send me back? It's fine. I'll think of a way to escape. At most, I'll be imprisoned for a period of time for trespassing … "
He muttered to himself and realized that Lan Mu was walking silently. Suddenly, a strong sense of panic filled his heart.
"Please speak … I don't want to die …" Gray's emotions were fluctuating violently.
At that moment, Lan Mu had already stepped into the ambush. He barged in without hesitation and ignored all the soldiers.
Those people felt a terrifying killing intent. They were completely intimidated by the general in front of them.
"Gray, I've fused with your nervous system. The moment I leave, your nervous system will instantly collapse …" Lan Mu said.
"All of it?" Gray said while trembling.
"All of it!"
Gray's race's self-healing ability was very good. However, if his nervous system collapsed instantly, he would not have the chance to heal and would die immediately.
After confirming that he would definitely die, Gray was unexpectedly calm.
Lan Mu said, "I thought you would go crazy and take back control of your body …"
"If I did that, I would only be forcing you to kill me faster," Gray replied calmly. It was the first time he was so calm.
Lan Mu said, "You're right. You've finally made me think highly of you."
Gray said again, "Any action that goes against you will only accelerate my death. I know that if I still have a chance to live, I can only beg for your mercy. Great guest from the Silver Heart Civilization, you're a higher life form. You're mysterious and powerful … You're omnipotent … If you have even the slightest bit of mercy, please tell me that you have a way to let me live … I beg you. "
Lan Mu was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "No."
That cold sentence was like the Grim Reaper strangling his throat.
Gray's heart was not concealed in front of Lan Mu. He could feel the sadness and unwillingness that burst out in an instant, as well as the persistence of wanting to have a lover.
His death would not leave any lingering feelings. No one would remember him. Even the opposite sex who was waiting for him to go back would forget him because he failed to keep his promise this time.
"Are you prepared to fight with your life on the line?" Lan Mu said indifferently.
Gray's emotions, which were gradually going crazy, suddenly calmed down and said, "I don't dare. Great guest from the Silver Heart Civilization, can you agree to a humble request of mine?"
"…" Lan Mu had already sensed that request from his heart.
Gray said, "I hope that you can change this body into my original appearance … Let them remember my appearance … Let them remember my name!"
"You actually didn't fight for anything for your lover?" Lan Mu said.
"That would be too troublesome for you."
"Ah ha … Don't tell me it's Stockholm …"
"What's that?"
"Nothing …" Lan Mu said.
How could Lan Mu not see that Gray was also trying to survive in another way? First, he was restraining his emotions and not letting his negative emotions interfere with Lan Mu. Second, he was lowering his posture and begging. Because other than begging for mercy, any action he took could aggravate his own death.
He knew very well that Lan Mu's mercy was the only way to survive in a sea of death.
Finally, he took the initiative to ask to reveal his appearance. On the surface, he hoped that people would remember him, even if he was a traitor. In reality, he was also showing Lan Mu that he had completely cut off his relationship with this civilization and cut off all paths of retreat.
This step by step made Lan Mu feel his strong desire to survive. He wanted to live, even if he did not have a shred of dignity.
"What an unexpected success …"
Lan Mu smiled and changed his appearance from that of a general back to Gray's original appearance.
This sudden change shocked the people around him.
The general guarding the place originally wanted to ask a few questions, but now there was no need to. The other party had the ability to change his appearance. He was definitely an enemy spy.
"He's not Codd, immediately …"
Before he could finish his words, the general collapsed.
Immediately after, a terrifying mental power swept in all directions. All the soldiers who rushed over were stunned.
Only the mechanical soldiers did not feel anything. They faithfully carried out the attack order.
Lan Mu mobilized his demonic energy. His body quickly turned into a ray of black light and entered the wall.
"Gray, you've barely gained my approval, even if it's just a little bit."
"Even though a large portion of your intelligence was taken away, you still relied on your survival instincts in the face of death and stubbornness to burst forth with astonishing wisdom. You were able to stubbornly stimulate your potential in a hopeless situation. You're a qualified intelligent creature."
Gray said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment. The enemy's attack is about to arrive. Are you going to leave my body now? To be able to gain your approval, I'm actually satisfied even if I die … "
"Alright! That's all for your petty tricks … "Lan Mu said impatiently.
Gray immediately stopped talking. Lan Mu said, "I do have a way to let you live."
"Of course, it depends on your luck."
After saying that, Lan Mu muttered in the direction of the Void Cloud.
"Why hasn't Bai Ze opened the door yet? Did he faint from the pain? "
