After thinking it over, Miss Fox felt that this was the most likely explanation.
"Is it really that disgusting?" Chongchong frowned even more.
She didn't doubt Miss Fox's guess, after all, Miss Fox didn't have many external possessions, mostly various entertainment items and fresh fruit.
The only thing of value is her as a person.
Based on the information currently available, there are only a few things that could absolutely lead Miss Fox to clash with the selfish and self-serving Ye Qing.
Among them, the mortal enemies must be this one.
Miss Fox's attitude in this regard is either that she is outmatched and forced to act, or that she has the ability to kill.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's find out what kind of world Xiao Liu connected to this time."

Chapter 1152 The Awakener
"It seems like magic doesn't exist in this world."
Seeing that Miss Fox and Bug had finished their discussion, Xiao Liu quickly made his presence known.
Now that he is already part of the system, he has the ability to detect the world.
Of course, the most important thing was the panicked behavior of the castle servants, which confirmed Xiao Liu's suspicions.
"If magic exists in this world, then the servants working in a place like this wouldn't be so ignorant."
After the initial panic subsided, the castle servants looked at the three of them with the worshipful gaze of gods.
A faint, almost imperceptible power of faith has already been transmitted.
"But these servants are a bit strange..."
"The gathering of faith power does indeed mean they regard us as gods, but they seem to be afraid of something and dare not come closer."
As for what he was afraid of, it was naturally the owner of the castle.
A woman whose clothes were not particularly luxurious, but whose vitality far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"Who are you? Are you from the organization?"
She watched Miss Fox and Bugs warily, but paid little attention to Little Liu.
They didn't seem to think Xiao Liu had any fighting ability.
Miss Fox thought for a moment, "This doesn't seem to be called a woman, it should be called female, she and humans are not the same species."
The faded signs of life prove that the castle's owners were once human.
But not anymore.
Not only is the physical structure different, but the thought structure is also different.
The way she glanced at Xiao Liu confirmed that she did not have any sense of belonging to the same kind of human beings.
Or is it food?
Chongchong raised an eyebrow: "A cannibalistic species that has evolved later in life?"
"Cannibalism?" Xiao Liu was stunned. He was just about to step forward to show that he meant no harm and was about to start a conversation.
"In that case, there's no need for further conversation."
Xiao Liu acted decisively, pulling out his pistol and firing a shot.
The castle's owner was not spared; a bloody hole was ripped open in his shoulder.
This made Xiao Liu a little embarrassed.
He missed his shot at a distance of only a dozen steps, which alerted the enemy.
"..." The castle owner displayed an extremely strong recovery ability, and the bullet holes were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She remained wary of Xiao Liu's pistol and did not make any rash moves.
"Is the organization developing new weapons to deal with us, or to restrain our soldiers?"
While trying to extract information from them as if they were from some organization, his gaze kept drifting towards Miss Fox and Bug.
And this short drift contained quite a lot of information.
For example, in her mind, the only fighters in the organization are women.
So even though Xiao Liu showed offensive power, she didn't treat Xiao Liu as a warrior.
"What kind of organization is this? Or is there something special about the female anatomy in this world?"
I scanned the castle with my spiritual sense and found nothing there.
Aside from gender differences, men and women are still within the normal range of human structures.
There were no extra special organs, nor was anything missing.
In other words, the tissue in the mouth of this cannibalistic creature was deliberately made from female warriors, not male ones.
So the question is, why is that?
Putting aside the differences in basic strength between men and women, the very fact that women have menstrual cycles directly makes them less stable than men.
Unless there is some other reason.
"So, could you tell us more about it, Miss Cannibal?"
The castle owner felt a chill run down her spine; she hadn't even noticed when Miss Fox had appeared behind her!
However, after hearing Miss Fox's words, she calmed down a bit.
"You're not part of the organization?"
Miss Fox raised an eyebrow. "The news that it wasn't from the organization made you feel relieved?"
"Because we Awakened Ones have an irreconcilable relationship with the organization," the castle owner answered truthfully, because power is stronger than people.
Xiao Liu shot her, but because the damage was minor, she was still able to show hostility.
Now, with Miss Fox's ability to sneak up behind you without you even noticing, she simply gave up resisting.
Because this is something we really can't beat.
"If I'm not mistaken, you and the organization are from the same place, right?"
Xiao Liu exclaimed in surprise, "That organization is also made up of time travelers?!"
The insect standing to the side was speechless.
Suddenly, I realized that although Xiao Liu was more well-behaved than Qi Pu, he really wasn't very bright.
"It's obviously impossible. This is just a guess based on her own understanding," Chongchong complained.
"So, what's the name of that organization you're talking about?"
“An organization is an organization, it doesn’t have a code name.” The castle owner shook her head. Although she was completely confused herself, she tried her best to cooperate with Miss Fox and the others.
There is no way, I really can’t win.
"As far as I know, only the organization and the demons appeared suddenly a hundred years ago."
demon?
This keyword contains a lot of information.
“But we can be sure that there’s no such unit as ‘cultivator’ in this world,” Xiao Liu said, scratching his head as he reported to Miss Fox.
The system has simple detection functions.
Moreover, when the castle owner mentioned demons, he showed no emotion towards them, clearly indicating that he did not take them seriously.
However, she herself only had a larger life force than ordinary people and some special organs in her body, but there were no traces of energy system cultivation.
In other words, demons wouldn't be demons either.
What are demons?
"Demons are man-eating monsters!"
At that moment, a trembling maidservant approached, her voice filled with hatred.
Yes, they also harbored deep hatred for the castle's owner.
"Are you a demon?" Xiao Liu asked.
The castle owner glanced at the maid girl, then at the thoughtful Miss Fox.
Shake his head.
"I am an Awakened One, and I was once a soldier of the organization."
The maid was immediately shocked and looked at the castle owner in disbelief.
"Ha, you never expected this, did you? The one you regard as a demon was once a warrior who protected humanity and eradicated demons," the castle owner sneered.
This sounds like a story of a dragon slayer becoming a dragon himself.
Miss Fox also understood that this was the reason behind the mottled life force on the castle owner.
"A concept that grants the user the power to fight demons by fusing with their flesh and blood, but crosses a certain threshold and becomes a new demon?"
There's a subtle sense of familiarity with this setting.
I always feel that once I reveal the answer, it will give me that familiar feeling that reveals my age.
"If nothing unexpected happens, then the demons and monsters are probably all created by that organization."
"..." The castle owner paused for a moment, then nodded. "All the clues I know point to the organization being the creator of the demons."
Well, it really is true.
"Then one last question: Do you Awakened Ones retain your memories of your human past after awakening?"
The castle owner replied, "But it feels more like someone else's memory."
"I see, that's not surprising."
Miss Fox nodded knowingly.
She had this guess after examining the castle owner's physical structure, and unsurprisingly, it turned out to be true.

Chapter 1153 The Giant Looks a Bit Like
Human emotions are formed by the secretion of hormones in the body.
Moreover, memories are not entirely stored in the brain; various organs within the body store some habits to varying degrees.
During the adjustment period after an organ transplant, the recipient may develop a temperament similar to that of the transplanted organ, and their personality may eventually become a blend of the personalities of the two individuals.
This is just an organ transplant.
Those who awaken not only have their body cells completely replaced, but they also have several extra internal organs.
When secretion levels change drastically, recalling past memories can lead to a lack of emotional connection and an inability to empathize with one's past self, resulting in becoming a completely different person.
"It can be said that after awakening, one is no longer human."
However, Miss Fox didn't care about that.
What I care about most is that even though I changed bodies before and after the time travel, my personality didn't change.
However, considering that his soul strength far exceeds that of his body, it seems not incomprehensible.
If the soul and body are synchronized, then the body's influence should be greater.
"If the extra organs are removed, will the self-awareness revert to that of a human?" Bug asked, before grabbing the cannibalistic lady and pinning her down.
By the time the castle owner realized what was happening, it was too late. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from the insect's hands.
Like a pair of iron clamps, they held her firmly in place.
"That Miss Fox, shouldn't we ask for information before conducting the experiment? She seems to know a lot..." Xiao Liu suggested timidly.
That's certainly true.
A little thought reveals that this information carries significant weight in this world, suggesting that when this cannibalistic woman was still human, she must have held a high status or possessed some special talent.
Miss Fox observed that she had exceptional control over her own body.
