Chapter 1349 Delaying Time

"Ah..." The monster let out a long sigh.

It was pressing against Jintong's face, its expression blank for a long time before its eyes slowly moved.

"trouble!"

As the disgusted voice fell, the tentacles gathered around the body began to stir, scrambling to show their fangs and claws towards Xingchen.

"Wait!" Xingchen raised one hand, and the palm of his hand once again condensed a bright blue light. "I've answered your question. Now isn't it your turn to answer mine?"

There is curiosity, but it's mostly about procrastination.

The radiation monster didn't have the patience to play a question-and-answer game with her, and dozens of tentacles shooting out were its answer.

"Don't you want to use this body to disguise yourself as a human and get out?" Lin Fan shouted urgently, successfully stopping the opponent's attack.

The tentacles were like blooming cosmos petals, and the longest ones had already reached close to Xingchen, trying to wrap her up completely.

"You can neither deceive me nor others in the current state." Countless fine threads of blue light emerged from Xingchen's hand and coiled around the tips of the tentacles.

The tentacles seemed to still remember the power of this thing and retreated together.

Lin Fan took the opportunity to use his transformed form of healing water energy to confront the radiation monster across a tiny gap, regaining half of the field space for himself.

"You don't know how to behave, and you don't want to learn how to behave," she sneered. "Why are you still working so hard to maintain this empty shell? You might as well throw it away and save yourself all this effort."

Before Jintong's death, his skin had already shown obvious problems.

According to the normal process, whether she was dead or not, her skin would continue to swell and ulcerate, just like Du Xingyu. But it was not like now, where she looked clean and fresh, without even a single superficial wound.

The instinct of the radiation monster is destruction. No matter what its subjective will is, as long as it exists, the things around it will inevitably be affected by radiation.

In contrast, in lower life forms, talents that are completely opposite to instincts are difficult to coexist.

Lin Fan guessed that just carrying Jin Tong's body and preventing her from being further corroded and decayed would be a very time-consuming and troublesome task, not to mention repairing it to this point.

Exactly what special means were used wasn't the point Lin Fan wanted to explore. This monster had limited patience, so rather than provoke unpleasant memories, it was better to talk about something that would interest it.

"Oh?" As expected, the other party accepted the challenge. "If I answer your question, will you become a human being?"

"It's called reciprocity," Lin Fan said confidently. "You're not human, so it's normal that you don't understand these things. Interactions between people are always mutual. It's a give-and-take relationship that builds relationships, and only then can there be further development. Otherwise, why would someone take a complete stranger, someone they don't know, out of this environment just because you asked for help?"

The man on the other side pondered for a moment and nodded. "You make sense. So what you're doing with me now, where I come and you go, does that count as building a relationship?"

"Why not?" Lin Fan said, "There are many types of relationships. Hostility is also a type of relationship, but that doesn't mean we can't have a conversation. The most basic thing in life is learning to think and express yourself."

"Coherent expression demonstrates logical thinking. So the process of you answering my questions is also a process of learning, thinking, and adapting. I can also help you point out any mistakes you make. After talking to you more, you'll naturally understand what a normal person should do and say."

"It's just a small matter. It can improve your disguise ability and answer some of my questions. It benefits both you and me. Let's not take action now, just talk it out. Once we have made things clear, fighting or killing is a matter for later. What do you say?"

The monster nodded slowly with a straight face: "That makes sense. Then ask."

Lin Fan quickly glanced at the time on the panel and asked the first question.

"who are you?"

The old saying of "all-purpose oil" can, if extended well, develop into a major philosophical topic.

Lin Fan had already determined the identity of the radiation monster and did not expect to get any real answer. He just wanted to trick the other party into saying more useful and useless nonsense until Antonio arrived.

By the way, how long will it take for Anton to arrive?

Sure enough, the monster opened his mouth and was stumped by such a simple question.

who is it?

There seem to be many answers in my mind, messy and noisy, but none of them seem to be the most suitable answer.

Seeing that the other party was lost in thought, Lin Fan didn't dare to keep the conversation silent, so he stepped in to encourage him.

"It's just a name. What's your name? How should I address you? You space beasts don't even have names, do you? Speaking of which, after you die, do you still look like space beasts? Do you still have any memories of before you died? Do you remember what happened? Why did you die? Where were you before you died?"

She chattered on and on, saying whatever came to her mind, not really expecting the radiation monster to answer. She was just worried that if he couldn't answer, he would get angry and start fighting again.

"Who said I'm a space beast?" The radiation monster reacted a little slowly, and asked back after a few seconds.

Lin Fan was stunned: "Isn't it?"

They almost believed that the radiation monster was the consciousness of the space beast after its death, and it was transformed into an upgraded form after consuming Jintong's energy.

What, is it wrong?

The "Golden Boy" on the opposite side keenly caught Lin Fan's surprise and grinned.

"Of course not! How could I be those stupid things!"

When Lin Fan heard the answer, his mind raced.

If it’s not Jintong or the space beast, then who else is left in the ancient times?

"Are you an ancient monk?!" she asked in disbelief, her voice trembling.

"Forget it." The man on the other side frowned, pondered for a while, and then gave a rough affirmation.

"What do you mean by forget it?" Lin Fan didn't understand.

"I remember that I came from ancient times, but my impression is that I should not be a cultivator." The other party answered quickly.

"Could it be a demon cultivator? A monster cultivator?" Lin Fan asked immediately, but then denied it immediately. "But demon cultivators and monster cultivators wouldn't be like you..."

Anyone who has managed to survive until now is definitely not a simple character. If they are truly an ancient master, whether they are human cultivators, demon cultivators, or devil cultivators, they can't act so... ignorant of the world, right?

Her little cunning could be seen through at a glance by those who had lived for thousands of years and had transcended the tribulation and reached the level of the Spirit Severing Realm. Why was he still being tricked into having an awkward conversation with her?

"Golden Boy" showed some confusion, pressed his forehead with one hand, frowned and thought for a moment.

"I don't remember clearly," it shook its head slowly. "As long as I can remember, I've existed. I never thought about what I was. I just remember wanting to become stronger, to survive, and to get out..."

Living is the instinct of every living thing.

Lin Fan understands that it is all efforts made to stay alive, but the premise is that there is no subjective behavior that harms others.

"So you chose Jin Tong because you knew she was the weakest? Most likely to die, left behind in the ancient world, becoming the energy for your breakthrough?" she asked. "Were you among the white shadows surrounding us back then? I remember there were many. Where were the others? Did you defeat them all?"

"Golden Boy" blinked and tilted his head slightly. "What are you talking about? Those white shadows are the residual souls of space beasts. They have nothing to do with me. Oh, not really. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have such a strong body."

It smiled triumphantly, its tentacles waving rapidly like a flower-shaking hand.

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong.

"Why did you choose her?" "Golden Boy" grinned. "Of course, it's because I accepted her strong desire! She wanted to become stronger and was willing to exchange everything for it. She made a wish in front of me, so of course I had to help her realize it. After all, it was also my wish. So I possessed her body and left together!"

"You..." Lin Fan's voice trembled. "When did it happen?"

The little girl had a bright smile, but her words made people feel cold.

"When you were fighting the sandworms."
