planter of the future

Early the next morning, An Yi had an in-depth spiritual exchange with his son.The result of the exchange was that An Yi regained the right to use Xiancao Peak, but he had to respect Fanfan as "Old Ancestor".So An Yi was moved with emotion and reason, and after half an hour of "father-son education", Fanfan held the lost and recovered baby bottle, teary-eyed, and endured the humiliation and agreed to downgrade the honorific title to "little ancestor".

"Hey, why did you make him cry so early in the morning?" Ares came back from his morning exercise, and saw Fanfan sitting on the carpet with his baby bottle in his arms, staring at An Yi with snot and tears.

As a result, before he could speak, An Yi heard Fanfan retort in a very manly way in his head: "I didn't cry!"

Ares was helpless, took a tissue and squatted on the ground, wiped Fanfan's nose and tears, and nodded: "Yes, you didn't cry, I was wrong."

After speaking, he looked at An Yi again: "Have you eaten yet?"

An Yi stood up, stretched, and said, "Eat. Are you going to the parliament later?"

"Well, together?"

"No, I'm going to find Ma Si." An Yi dragged his chin and said, "Fanfan and I..."

"Called Xiaozu!" Fanfan corrected.

An Yi silently rolled his eyes and said, "Well, didn't our little ancestor say before that the absolute control of Mas's snake-human race has something to do with the puppets? I thought it would be better for him to communicate with Mas face to face. "

Ares just smiled at the title "Little Ancestor", nodded and said, "That's good. Adonis is still with Mas. If you need anything, just ask him. I'll let Phil follow you."

"No, it's just a short walk." An Yi refused, but after thinking about it, he said, "I'll take Ryan with me, I don't know how to change diapers."

Ares laughed lightly, nodded and asked someone to arrange it.

After some preparations, An Yi took Fanfan to Ma Si's flower shop.

Masi seemed to have known that they were coming, and had arranged for the clerk to wait for them. When they arrived, he took them directly to the top floor of the building—that was Masi's residence.

As soon as he walked into Masi's room, An Yi realized deeply at this moment that Masi was a snake man.

Because the room is like a forest—grassland, big trees, a panoramic roof that can be seen from one side, and many small animals are kept in it.

An Yi stood dumbfounded at the door, looked at the big tree in the middle of the house for a long while, and asked Ma Si: "Will it not damage the house?"

"No." Ma Si smiled and took them to sit down at the tea table under the tree.

As soon as An Yi came in, Adonis stood by An Yi's side, and his eyes couldn't help but glanced at Fanfan.

Fanfan sat on An Yi's lap, holding his own little jellyfish in his hand, playing with it non-stop.Fanfan said that he was training the flexibility of this body, but An Yi thought he was just a little hyperactive.

"It's amazing." Ma Si propped his chin, eyes half-closed, a very lazy beauty.

"Phil sent me some reports to sort out, but I want to hear you tell me." After looking at Fanfan twice, Ma Si sat up straight, looked at An Yi and said, "I don't believe that you conceived him on your own." When you come out, your performance is not like that at all."

"Okay, no problem." An Yi didn't plan to hide it from Masi. After all, Masi was different from Longye. The level suppression of the snake-human race was very similar to that of the puppet worm.

An Yi asked Adonis to guard the door, and then explained his relationship with Fanfan to Mas.

Ma Si's beautiful eyes widened when he heard it, and he said in a daze for a while: "It's incredible."

After hearing this, Fanfan was quite pleased, his two calves like lotus root joints dangled happily.

"Tsk, can you hear this as a compliment?" An Yi poked Fanfan's forehead bitterly.

Fanfan was not happy, turned his head and opened his toothless mouth to bite, An Yi quickly picked up the pacifier and stuffed it for him.

Ma Si watched happily from the sidelines, and after a while he said again: "So, he is actually Yuanzu An Yunfan? You came from the same consciousness, but I didn't expect that the personalities would be so different."

An Yi was not happy: "That's him copying me, I'm the original."

"Huh?" Ma Si shook his head: "Since you were reproduced by the puppet, you are not the original. In fact, it was the two of you who swallowed the puppet, and because you snatched his ability later, you Now it is the closest to the puppet worm. And the things that belonged to you that he reproduced before have been almost cleaned up by him in this long time.

Well, maybe this is also the reason for such a big difference in personality. "

An Yi is not interested in listening to this, anyway, it's a foregone conclusion now: "Alright, let's change the subject."

Ma Si is as good as others: "As Fanfan said, I think I have already guessed the relationship between me and the puppet. Of course, if there is something wrong, I ask Fanfan to give me some advice later."

Fanfan raised his head and proudly licked his pacifier.

Ma Si said: "I know something about the mass production of beasts."

An Yi wasn't too surprised, because Langye knew something, and Duo Gudu had already analyzed it.

Ma Si continued: "The first batch of beasts produced in batches was sacrificed to the queen of the snake-human race."

An Yi sat up straight at once, and Fanfan also stared at the round eyes, leaning forward on the table, sucking his pacifier and listening with gusto.

Masi: "Before you mentioned the puppet worm, I always thought it was just an ancient secret method of the orc race, a secret method to save the weak orc children. So I didn't tell you before, because Longye has already told you It's clear."

"The time when the queen was sacrificed was about the time of your bloodstained battle. When the queen was sacrificed, she was already pregnant-the birth of the snake-human race was not like what you saw in the snake cave. We and humans Breeding is pretty much the same."

Masi twitched the corners of his mouth, there was no smile in his eyes, but his eyes were very gentle: "I don't know the whole story of the queen's sacrifice, but her spiritual power is very strong, and the sacrifice was very successful. The batch produced more than The beasts, and several beasts have become members of the snake-human race, they are powerful, but their self-awareness is weak, and they only need a period of education to become perfect weapons."

"Although the beast horde of the Bloodstained War did not defeat humans, it did let those people know the benefits of mass-producing ferocious beasts. You only need to sacrifice a small number of people to get so many weapons, and the ferocious beasts that have been educated can still Make the next batch of sacrificial offerings. It’s a good deal.”

"But they miscalculated. When the queen was sacrificed, she gave all her inheritance to her children, and the consciousness of protecting her children left.

The mass-produced ferocious beasts were not as good as one batch at a time. In the end, they finally attacked their own people. "

Masi spread his hands and said, "Now the snake-human race exists in name only, except for those old things, almost all of them have been replaced or sacrificed."

An Yi was horrified when he heard that, but at the same time he was at a loss: "In the snake-human clan, doesn't the queen have absolute control?"

Ma Si said: "The king of the snake-human race is hereditary. During the queen's pregnancy, she must pass on the memory to her descendants-this is very similar to the replica of the puppet. During this period, the queen's absolute control will be weakened.

Moreover, even on weekdays, the elders of the clan are somewhat immune to the Queen's control. "

An Yi continued to ask: "Then you said that the members of the snake people were replaced and sacrificed, which means...they will come back to life after being sacrificed?"

"Well." Ma Si smiled, and said coldly: "I didn't understand it before, but now I know it. The elders of the snake people have long been allies with the puppets. The absolute control of the snake people is basically the same as that of the puppets. The spiritual net is very similar. It is not as difficult as imagined to transform the spiritual power of the snake-human race into a divisible cloud of consciousness.

I've read reports about puppet worms, they absorb the host's specialties through reproduction and use them for their own use.And the spiritual power of the snake people has existed since ancient times.Therefore, the 'inspiration' for the puppet to evolve into a consciousness cloud comes from the snake-human race.Compared with other orc races, their parasitism towards the snake-human race tends to assimilate, which is too easy.

One snake man becomes three parts, and each part can be used as a sacrifice, giving birth to dozens or even hundreds of fierce beasts. "

"And this power makes some snake people very envious. They regard the puppet as their gods. I'm afraid they already know that it is a puppet, but they still haven't stopped."

When Ma Si said this, he looked up at Fanfan, and then at An Yi: "I think the reason why Fanfan said that I am a puppet is probably because I was mass-produced in this way."

"What?" An Yi looked at Masi in disbelief, and said after a while, "But aren't you the real 'Queen'? You still..."

An Yi's voice stopped abruptly, and he remembered what Mas said just now, the birth of the snake-human race is the same as that of human beings.Then, the snake lair and those snake people that An Yi saw back then... were all mass-produced.

As if he had guessed what An Yi was thinking of, Ma Si smiled again: "Even in mass production, there is still a difference in quality."

An Yi closed her mouth and looked at Ma Si with a complicated expression: "Then when did you...know that you are not a real snake man?"

"I knew it from the beginning." Ma Si took a sip of the tea, and then showed his usual gentle and warm smile: "I just said that the queen was pregnant when she was sacrificed. I am that child."

An Yi was completely dumbfounded.

I heard Ma Si continue to say: "The descendants of the Queen of the Snake People Race already had their own vague consciousness when they were conceived, and at the beginning, the Queen used her last strength to protect me.

It took me a long time to awaken my consciousness, and then I inherited the Queen's legacy.But I'm too young, I can only protect myself from being caught by those 'clouds'.Hehe, I thought those were the souls of dead snakemen. "

"It wasn't until later that I returned to the altar of the snake people and overheard the words of the elders of the snake people. Then I knew the truth of everything.

I watched them communicate with those 'clouds', but they called gods.I know it's not the soul of the snake man, but I don't know what it is, I just know it can't be caught. "

"I just stayed in the snake people like this. I watched them experiment and watch them worry.

Until one day, I found that the Queen's power was about to disappear, my consciousness was not strong enough, and I needed a physical body to protect myself.So I set my sights on their experiment. "

"Among the people who were sacrificed, there were many snake people who had already been sacrificed, so that group would only produce the worst beasts. It is for this reason that there are not many snake people guarding them.

I found the right time, and when they were about to break their shells, they invaded a body that fit me best.And borrowed the queen's last strength to order some servants.Oh, it's my shop assistants. "

"At that time, my strength was not strong, and I didn't venture forward. Although the birth of a snake man made those old guys happy, but I already knew how to hide myself, so what they saw was just an empty shell, and it was still a 'god' who couldn't help it." The empty shell that was stationed in. So in the end, we were driven to the mountain forest area where fierce beasts were kept in captivity.

After that, I escaped with my servants. "

"But I will not fully transform into a human form at that time, in the forest..."

Ma Si didn't go on, he just smiled at An Yi and made a general speech: "I don't like human beings."

An Yi understands.

When Mas in the form of a snake man is seen by humans, he will definitely be regarded as a monster.This is probably the main reason why Mas is not close to humans.

"That's all I can say. As for how those old guys hooked up with those 'gods', I don't know. Because when I existed as a consciousness, I spent too little time awake. I only remember that a long time ago, The old ones are coming and going in the direction of Synyat."

Mars picked up a piece of cake and said, "That's all my secret."

An Yi frowned, and Xinyate seemed to have a deep relationship with the puppet.But An Yi's head is in a mess now, he thinks that the puppet worms are simply a group of tireless spiders, they have been tirelessly weaving webs since ancient times.Being destroyed and weaving, destroying and weaving, and constantly gaining experience in the process of being destroyed.

And now, at last, they spin a vexing web that no one knows how to untangle or what their webs are trying to catch.

"The snake-human race now..." An Yi asked hesitantly.

Masi laughed: "As you can see, they are working on creating a new queen. I don't know what method they used, but I have to admit that the results are indeed much better than before.

It was also in the last few years that those old things discovered my true identity. They wanted to get back the queen's inheritance from me, but they didn't dare to approach me.Just gotta keep doing that stuff. "

An Yi felt a little sympathetic to Ma Si, but he knew Ma Si didn't need such sympathy.So An Yi didn't show it.

An Yi: "So they don't dare to provoke you now?"

Masi: "It depends on how powerful the puppet is."

The implication is that if the puppet worms are very powerful, then the snake people who are on the side of the puppet worms will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack and come back to get back the queen's inheritance—according to An Yi's previous understanding, it probably means Masi's life.

An Yi rubbed his head. He had stuffed his head with too many things in the past two days, and now he didn't want to think about it at all, so he poked Fanfan's fat butt on his leg: "You ask."

Fanfan sucked the pacifier and twisted his butt, but he didn't scold An Yi.The little jellyfish on his head floated to the table, and then saw the little jellyfish shake suddenly, and then slowly inflated like a balloon.

After a few seconds, the golden jellyfish turned into a golden jelly ball, soft and comfortable to hold.The little jellyfish was very happy with its growth, and its four pectin-like tentacles swayed twice in the air.

The little jellyfish on An Yi's shoulder also floated up, lying on Fanfan's canopy as a trampoline.

An Yi was a little taken aback: "Can this one get bigger?"

【Look at the strength~】

These words appear on the canopy of the big "Doll Jellyfish", and they are still rolling around the canopy.

An Yi: "..."

Masi also seemed to find this little jellyfish amusing, so he reached out and poked it twice.It is as elastic as jelly, but it feels soft and light to the touch. Maas thinks it feels like a cloud.

[You are earlier and more numerous than the puppets we have come into contact with.Did you find any difference between different levels of puppet worms? 】

Ma Si read Fanfan's question and thought about it seriously.

"I'm not sure, so what I said can only be a reference."

[Let's talk. 】

Masi: "I have seen different forms of consciousness clouds of puppets in the snake-human tribe and in the depths of Xifan forest. The size is different, but it does not mean strength or weakness. The color is also different, which seems to be related to their self-awareness related.

Moreover, I seem to have seen them act together with fierce beasts.Not a beast to be dominated, but to work together and cooperate. "

Fanfan became more interested, and the pacifier squeaked louder.

[Talk about those beasts. 】

Ma Si recalled in silence for a while, and after a few minutes, he found a description that was more in line with his memory: "They are different in size, some of them are ferocious beasts that have been parasitized, but there are a few... bugs. Weird bug."

As Mas said, he reached out and touched the canopy of the doll jellyfish.Fanfan let out a "huh", and after two seconds reluctantly "hummed" again.Then a picture appeared on the canopy of the doll jellyfish, which was the picture in Masi's mind.

The outline of that worm is very similar to that of an ant, but its feet are very similar to the legs of a spider snail, and its head is like a wax gourd. , should be the position of the "face", except for a pair of pincers, there are no eyes or holes for breathing.

Masi also marked the scale next to it. This bug is about the same size as Langji.

"There are others, which are similar. They have weirdly large heads, hard shells, sharp steel-like legs, and pincers." Mars retracted his fingers, and the picture disappeared on the canopy of the doll jellyfish.

"These are also puppet worms?" An Yi was stunned. Didn't the puppet worms evolve to get rid of their bodies?

"I think so." Ma Si nodded: "I saw one in the tribe, but it was bigger than them, nearly two meters tall." Ma Si frowned: "It turns out that it is also a puppet insect..."

Two meters high.That can't possibly be a product of elimination.

An Yi Ning brows thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Puppet worms should not only have the form of consciousness cloud. Otherwise, the number of times they split is limited, and the split consciousness cloud will also be destroyed, so it won't last long. For a long time. They also need to reproduce... In short, like bee colonies and ant colonies, different forms are responsible for different responsibilities."

[You are smart once. 】

Fanfan struggled on An Yi's lap for a while, and finally with the help of An Yi, he climbed from An Yi's lap onto the table.He holds a doll jellyfish half his size and looks at Mas.

[I want to see the spiritual network of you and your servants. 】

"This is a bit difficult. But I can try to connect with you mentally."

【it is good. 】

An Yi: "..."

I feel like a scumbag who is listening to the talk of a bully.

After Ma Si finished speaking, his long hair spread out automatically, and the green hair was laid docilely on his shoulders, and he looked at Fanfan silently.

An Yi can't see the non-realized spiritual body, just like those puppets, he can only see it when his consciousness is separated from his body.But at this moment, An Yi silently decided in his heart that he still had to work harder.Otherwise, he would really be despised by this brat like Fanfan in the future.

Ma Si and Fanfan "looked at each other" for about ten minutes, and then they both raised their heads at the same time, cutting off contact.

Mars leaned back on the back of the chair, his long green hair was hanging weakly on his body, and he looked much less lustrous. Mars's complexion was not very good, but he was just tired and had no other problems.

Fanfan was not much better, lying on top of the doll jellyfish, and the pacifier fell off.

An Yi frowned, reached out and hugged Fanfan in his arms, and stretched out his spiritual tentacles to relax him.

Although Fanfan groaned, he didn't resist An Yi, instead he grabbed An Yi's clothes, and his wrinkled face slowly relaxed.After recovering, she was no longer arrogant, but let An Yi hold her obediently.

At last she looked like a baby.

After Fanfan recovered, the characters appeared on the doll jellyfish again.

[What you said is true.Your consciousness has a message from the previous queen, but it seems irretrievable. 】

[The spiritual network of the puppet worms does have the right to control you. In a sense, you are easy to be assimilated, but after you have self-awareness, you are not easy to be parasitic. 】

"En." Ma Si just responded lightly, propped his head on one hand and didn't speak any more.

[Since the shape of the puppet is different.Then they may well indeed be for reproduction. 】

[However, from the worms with entities to the consciousness cloud, to ensure the number of consciousness clouds, there must be a transformation process in the middle. 】

[The focus is still on Xinyate. 】

"Then why do they need me?" An Yi asked at this time.

Fanfan rolled his eyes.

【As I said just now, there is a process between the physical bug and the consciousness cloud.And you may be the key to it. 】

An Yi: "..."

【Coward~】

An Yi turned Fanfan expressionlessly and slapped his ass.

Fanfan: "...you, you actually hit... woo wa..."

An Yi: "...Damn it, don't cry!"

Mars on the opposite side opened his eyelids and smiled on his tired face—it seems that these two "souls" of the same origin still have something in common.In a way, it's all childish.
