Starship medical room——

Lear was lying in the examination cabin, with medical bandages wrapped around his hands and feet. Because of the medical fog automatically secreted in the examination cabin, this tall and strong military female had fallen into a coma at this moment, but she was unconscious.However, his brows were tightly furrowed, which formed a somewhat extreme contrast with the confusion when he was awake.

In Toines' words, Lear's waking life is like an elderly female worm with amnesia.

"Any test results?"

Gu Ting walked to the side of the medical bug, and his eyes fell on the electronic screen crowded with a lot of data.The dark screen was full of symbols and numbers that he couldn't understand, while the medical bug sitting in front of the table pushed his glasses and called up another body scan of the military female.

The medical bug pointed to a few data bars that seemed to have high numbers, and then tapped a part of the scanned image with a grease pen in his hand at a distance of a few centimeters.

"Look hereafter a full-body examination of this military female named 'Lille', I found that some data in his body exceeded the standard. If you look at it according to what the Toines Corps Commander saidLille has some memory problems, that also makes sense, because this part of the data is just related to the memory content in the brain, but—"

"Please look here again."

The medical worm enlarged and magnified Lear's body scan until only the area of the brain was exposed, and the black oil-based pen clicked on a certain place in the air, trying to make other worms behind him see more intuitively."Something is wrong here."

The medical bug pointed to its own brain, "In the normal brain scan, this area of ours should be very clean, unless it is some kind of special brain lesion. But the annual medical examination in the army completely avoids the problem ofThere is a possibility that the female suffers from various brain diseases and has not been discovered for a long time, not to mention that we just had a medical examination three months ago."

"I compared it with Lille's previous physical examination data. At that time, these things did not exist in his mind."

Gu Ting got closer. Under the instructions of the medical bug, he saw a foggy gray area in a small area of Lear's brain.Comparing the data, you can see the difference immediately.

"What is that? Is it a tumor?" Engelie was a little uncertain. After all, in today's era, the existence of therapeutic instruments prevents many possible diseases from occurring. In addition, female worms are physically strong. In such a situation, EnglieIt's the first time I've seen you.

Campbell took a look and said, "Zoom in a bit more."

"Okay." The medical bug nodded, and magnified the scanned image several times. Under the exposure of high-tech, the original foggy gray revealed its original appearance—it was several black round nuclei clustered together.Shaped objects, round in shape, even wriggling, crowding each other, but never leaving each other.

Gu Ting stared at it for a while, "It looks familiar..."

If a layer of translucent film is put on these black round cores, isn't that the egg group found in the underground cave of planet Herdik?

Campbell: "Can you get these things out?"

The medical bug thought for a while, then hesitated: "You can try, but I'm not sure if these things will affect the female bug after taking them out."

"Wait." Gu Ting shook his head. He looked at Lear who was unconscious in the inspection cabin on the other side, "Can I go in?"A reminder from Suo Xun.

"sure."

With a "click", the sensor door was opened, and Gu Ting stepped in. Before he could get close to Lear, he heard Toines' voice outside, "Look! Those black spots moved!"

I saw the black round nuclei on the electronic screen began to tremble, much more violently than when they were wriggling and crowded at first, but they seemed to be resisting some kind of temptation, struggling to hold back the desire to move, and only tremblingly stuck in place.

Gu Ting stopped and heard Wei's voice again: "It's not as violent as before."

The conjecture in his heart was once again confirmed, Gu Ting turned around and closed the sensor door tightly, then casually took out a sharp scalpel from the medical box, and at the moment when the other insects had no time to stop it, he swiped at his fingerpast.

Suo Xun: "Mom! You..."

"Baby..." Campbell was taken aback, and called out the nicknames between the beds in front of the insects.

Through the glass, the sound became muffled and hazy, but it was enough to be heard by Gu Ting and other bugs.

For a while, Englie, Suo Xun, Toines and Wei were all silent. They didn't even know whether they should care about Little Gem first, or take a look at Campbell who had a cold face but could call out the word "baby"——The titles of macho and Jiaojiao are indeed more suitable.

"Well, it's okay." Gu Ting waved his hand, but he didn't realize what Campbell called just now, he just looked at the silver-haired female worm quite habitually, and said coquettishly, "Campbell, help me get a healing device?"

"...Okay." All along, it was difficult for him to refuse Little Gemstone.

While Campbell was taking things, Gu Ting put the hand that cut the wound back and forth on the side of Lear's ear, which was close to the brain, and might be able to attract those black round nuclei.

Engley also reacted, "Use blood to induce?"

Gu Ting nodded with his back to them, "Almost, at that time, the eggs said that my smell was very familiar."

Both Wei and Toines knew that Gu Ting was able to communicate with the eggs, but compared to the indifferent expression on Wei's face, Tones's expression became serious, and he stared at the sensor door carefully, for fear that a gap would leak out.Some little secrets in Gu Ting's blood.

That secret has been hidden in Toines' heart for nearly four years. When he regained his life in countless battles, he was thankful that he touched the warm sunshine on the edge of madness. It was truly brilliant, yesHe was lying in the abyss and couldn't help reaching out to touch the warmth when he was illuminated.

In Toines' complex feelings for sapphire, there are many emotions that cannot be accurately described in words-guilt, gratitude, love, and a certain believer's belief in gods.But due to his identity, Toines hid his emotions very well. When he appeared in front of Gu Ting again, he was a loyal legion commander. He was loyal to the Star Alliance and Gu Ting, because it was him.An unattainable gleam of light.

Wei looked at Toines's appearance, and couldn't help whispering: "Why are you nervous again?"

"It's okay." Toines shook his head, "I'm just worried about the danger of His Excellency Gu Ting using blood."

"Don't forget, Your Excellency Gu Ting is very powerful now."

On the planet Herdik, Wei saw a scene that shocked him - under a dead tree, Gu Ting seemed to be talking to Campbell at that time, and then a thin, tall and handsome male lookedA little excited, he flicked the tail hook behind him. The next moment, Chiwei saw the dead tree split from the middle and completely shattered into two halves.

Although this kind of thing is nothing more than a piece of cake for female insects, it seems a bit unbelievable for male insects who are known for being "weak" and "delicate", but this really happened in front of Wei.

"No matter how powerful he is, he still needs protection." Toines stared at the glass, but couldn't help frowning the next moment, pointing to something on Lear's body: "What is that?"

This immediately attracted the attention of the other insects, and they looked along Toines' hand, and saw a bulge on the skin on the back of Lear's hand.

Campbell stood in front of the glass with a small healing device, his rationality prevented him from continuing to open the door.

On the other side of the glass, Gu Ting stared closely at the bulge on the back of Lear's hand——

This bulge is not too big, just like a red and swollen reaction caused by an ordinary allergy, but as long as you get a little closer, you can see that what flows before the bulge is not normal flesh and blood, but several clustered together,It seems that the black round core will break out of the ground in the next moment.

At the same time, on the picture projected by the scanner, in the part of Lear's brain, the original gray mass had long since disappeared without a trace.

Gu Ting shook his bloody fingers on Lille's hand again, and almost instantly, those black round cores that were crowded together broke through the shackles of flesh and blood, and flew towards him like disgusting maggots.Rush upwards with blood dripping fingers.

The pupils of the insects waiting outside the glass shrank at the same time. At the very moment, the tentacles of mental power behind Gu Ting pinched the ball of black round cores. They were like knights, flaunting their light blue bodies to protect them.around the owner.

The tentacles of mental power quickly buckled themselves into a small cage shape, and the translucent jelly texture was enough for Gu Ting to see the black round nucleus that was caught—it was exactly the same as the egg cluster in the underground cave, but when it wasAfter they escaped from the parasite, the original translucent film reappeared, and a layer of dark red blood streaks emerged inside it, which made the insects feel uncomfortable.

After Campbell helped remove the wound, Gu Ting handed the eggs wrapped in the tentacles of mental power to the medical bug, "You guys study first, I have something to deal with first."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry. Campbell glanced at Gu Ting's back and didn't follow. Instead, he turned to the medical worm and said, "Let's see what this is."

On the other side, Gu Ting walked all the way to Crystal's original room.

Because of the evolution into Yax, the crystal was left on the planet Herdik, but the egg clusters brought out from the underground cave stayed in the crystal house, enjoying life in the bathtub every day.

As soon as Gu Ting entered, the egg group that had been soaking in the water was slightly excited, and even the water in the tank was full of bubbles "bubbling".

[I've seen the smell on you!]

[It's those guys!They didn't die?]

[No, there are other flavors... a mess.]

[What have you been exposed to?]

Gu Ting squatted outside the bathtub. He looked at the clusters of eggs that surfaced. They were fuller than when he first saw them. Because of the drop of blood that Gu Ting provided every day, the eggs had basically grown into babies.The size of a fist, there is still the possibility of continuing to grow and develop, and even the IQ has improved to a certain extent.

He said: "Today we found a few eggs in the body of a subfemale, which look exactly like yours, but with bloodshot eyes."

[Could it be them...]

[But they are dead?But if it is breath, then it can be matched.]

[Stupid, we didn't really check if they were dead.]

As he said that, a round egg squeezed out from the crowd of eggs. Its growth was astounding, and it was bigger than other eggs.The beauty of a gemstone.It squeezed to the top of all egg clusters, and said to Gu Ting——

[I should have told you earlier that there is another wave of eggs in the underground cave.]

Gu Ting nodded, "I remember."

[At the beginning we felt their aura disappeared, and thought they might be dead, but it was just a guess.However, the smell on your body today is very similar to those eggs, but it is mixed with some other smells, probably because it was found in other insects.]

"Do they have the ability to change the memory of worms? Or do they have the ability to parasitize? What will happen if they are drilled into the body?"

The grumpy voice was somewhat hesitant, [We can’t be sure about this. As the original egg group, although we all live together and basically look the same, our fathers are different insects, so what is the specificity of each egg?Ability, we can't know it until it is fully developed.]

[But you talk about parasitism...]

Another voice suddenly sounded, a little soft and a little waxy, but the tone was very rude, [Parasite is the most annoying thing, we can do it too, but we don't like it.]

Other voices immediately echoed——

[I don't like parasitism.]

[That's not parasitism, that's fusion!]

[After the fusion, I am not myself at all.]

[Those guys may have chosen a worm as a parasite.]

Gu Ting was silent, and he carefully sorted out the whole incident in his heart - after discovering the worm eggs in Lear's body and the disappearance of Shade, everything seemed to be connected by an invisible rope recently.

On the night when he felt palpitations, some insect must have entered the underground cave, and encountered another wave of "insect eggs" as the egg clusters said, so this encounter led to the next parasitism,Or fusion.All in all, during this process, those "eggs" found new hosts, and at the same time, the original egg group also lost the breath of "eggs".

As for later...

Gu Ting suddenly thought of Gran who was temporarily judged dead by the Star Alliance.

The worms on the entire Herdik planet are said to be more or less, but basically they are all within the records of the Star Alliance, whether it is the original Xinzhu, or the subfemale in the Rose Alliance, and later in the underground.The discovery of "Zero Seven" and the eye of the curtain star that was used as a sacrificial offering, I think about it carefully, it seems that only one insect, Gran, left a result of unknown whereabouts and life or death.It's too abrupt, not to mention that Gran can control strange beasts.

Even Gu Ting himself didn't think that Gran would die just like that...

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the whole thing was connected. Although it was Gu Ting's guess, his intuition convinced him that he had already touched the truth——

There is a high possibility that the eggs were parasitic on Gran's body, and during the last search that day, they somehow absorbed Shade as their own puppet, and now I don't know whether it should be Gran or Shade's.The bugs ran away, and took away those eggs that were difficult to define as dangerous.

So, in the vast universe, where are they going to find Gran, Shade, and the eggs?

Gu Ting's eyes fell on the mirror on the other side, and he saw his expression so pale that it was almost cold.

The black-haired male worm murmured:

"No, he will show up by himself."
