Age of Mysticism Chapter 236

  Chapter 236 Shadow Parasite

  Princess Dai'er stretched her hand towards the cabinet unconsciously, and the white light emitted from the gap in the cabinet swayed slightly. It's just that when Dai'er was about to touch the cabinet, she suddenly retracted it.

   "Although I'm a bit dumb, I'm not stupid!" At this moment, there was movement outside, and the sheriff was checking the garbage bin. Dai'er quickly lay down on a nearby shelf, grabbed a white cloth to cover her body, exposed her head and whispered to the cabinet: "Although I don't know how you can hear my heart, since you know my identity, you can Know that I can save you. I swear in the name of my mother, as long as you help me escape the search, I will definitely let you go free."

   After speaking, without waiting for the things in the cabinet to answer, Dai'er heard the sound of the warehouse door opening, and immediately covered her head with a white cloth.

  Footsteps came from the warehouse door.

   "Captain Teli, you have seen...all the corpses of superhuman species that have failed."

  The captain kept looking at the innermost cabinet. He didn't know what was inside, but he was specially instructed when receiving the goods. That cabinet... must not be opened!

   Captain Tai Li looked at the corpses lying on the shelf, and felt a wave of horror in his heart. These are all failures in the cultivation of extraordinary species. Failure first means that it is uncontrollable. If there are any dead ones in it...

No!

  Mr. Malcolm spent a lot of money to buy something, there must be something dead.

   It's a dilemma.

  He was afraid of being attacked by something inside; he was also afraid of delaying Mr. Malcolm's business and being plotted against by revenge. But... the current situation in the imperial city is unclear. If there are people and things that should not be let go slip through my hands, it will be a dead end.

  Captain Tai Li kept cursing in his heart, why did he encounter such a thing when he was on duty.

  He carefully and vigilantly lifted the white cloth of a dead body, which was obviously a dead transcendent cultivator. Another white cloth was lifted, and it was also a dead guy.

  Captain Tai Li walked in slowly, taking every step carefully.

The captain did not dare to enter the barn door at all. He looked outside anxiously and urged in a low voice: "Captain Taili, captain...be careful! I am only in charge of transporting the cargo, and I don't know what's inside. In case something gets hurt You, I can't take this responsibility..."

   "Don't talk!" The nervous Tai Li reprimanded the captain, he pointed to the deepest cabinet placed alone and asked, "What's in there?"

   "Captain, I am a freight forwarder, do you think they will tell me?"

  Tai Li drew out the standard saber and walked slowly towards the cabinet, getting closer and closer to Dai'er.

  At this time, a faint black smoke flowed out of the cabinet.

   "Get out, there is nothing abnormal here. Close the door and let it go..."

  Tai Li looked dazed for a while, then turned and walked towards the barn door: "This is all the abandoned things of the extraordinary species cultivation center, there is nothing suspicious. Let it go! Let it go!"

  Then Teli said to the captain: "Let's go, before the blockade order is delivered."

   "Thank you, thank you, Captain Telly. I will definitely tell Mr. Malcolm about your concern."

   "Let's go!"

   With a burst of shaking, the stopped garbage ship started to move.

   Dai'er lifted the white cloth and let out a long breath. She was less than one meter away from Tai Li just now. If it wasn't for the help of the things in the cabinet, she would have a very high chance of being detected.

   Jumping off the shelf, Daier first listened to the voices outside: "Should have entered the downtown area. Thank you, what's your name?"

   "Name? The trainer called me... I don't like that name very much. Princess Dai, don't forget your promise to me."

   "Of course, I will never shame my mother's reputation. You don't tell me your name, are you afraid that I will know what you are from your name?"

  The things in the cabinet didn't speak, the young princess was a little too smart.

"Let me guess..." Princess Dai'er twirled the magic wand, and the images of extraordinary creatures quickly passed by: "No matter what you are, there must be a known extraordinary creature as a prototype. You can spy on me just now. Thought, although there is a reason for me to lose my mind, but you capture it so quickly, it means that your source is a very powerful mind-sensing supernatural being.

  There are not many types of this extraordinary creature..."

  The speed at which the magical images of extraordinary creatures pass by slows down.

  Daer continued to search for it talking to herself: "You can also mimic energy, using the appearance of the angel's holy energy to lure me to open the cabinet. Mental confusion, it failed for me, but succeeded for the sheriff.

  You don't have the ability to attack or you can't attack for some reason, but you keep tempting me to open the cabinet…”

  Daier crossed out the images of other extraordinary creatures, leaving only a jellyfish-like translucent extraordinary creature.

   "You are a shadow parasite!"

   "I, I don't know what you're talking about." The things in the cabinet denied it.

Daier smiled and said: "My extraordinary biology class is very good. The shadow parasite is the most basic unit of the shadow civilization and has a very powerful ability to erode the spirit. It's just that the shadow parasite itself is very fragile and can only be absorbed by other creatures. lives in the soul.

  You just lured me to open the cabinet, is it because your parasitic body has been damaged now, and you want to parasitize in my soul. After reading my memories and thoughts...replace me. "

   "I am not a shadow parasite, I have no malice towards you. Did you deliberately frame me because you didn't want to help me?"

   Dai'er tapped on the cabinet with her magic wand: "Don't get excited. Yes, you shouldn't be a real shadow parasite. Although the shadow civilization hides from the world, my father will definitely not provoke the inheritance of an ancient civilization.

  I can't be safe in the face of you.

  I think about it... My grades in history class are very good. In the 2517 calendar of the century, the imperial archaeological team found the body of the shadow man in the seal in an ancient ruin, and extracted an incomplete shadow parasite from the body. This shadow parasite has the characteristics of parasitic but will not replace the host, but the host itself will have a rejection reaction, causing unpredictable sequelae.

   Later, an extraordinary cultivator proposed to split and re-cultivate this special shadow parasitic element, and weaken the shadow parasitic element through iteration to weaken the parasitic sequelae. After experimentation, although the sequelae cannot be completely eliminated, it is much better than before.

   It's just a balance between the harmful intensity of the sequelae and the enhanced mental power, and there has been no controllable solution. After so many years of testing experiments, it seems that the most successful one is... the dead Grover. "

  Seeing that there was no response from the cabinet, Dai'er said to herself: "I don't know which generation of shadow parasite iteration you are, but your survival probability of forced parasite is zero."

   "How do you know?" The thing in the cabinet finally spoke, and also turned to admit Dai'er's judgment.

"Although I don't like the cultivation of extraordinary creatures, my grades are very good. I have read some papers on iterative cultivation of shadow parasites. Your current state means that your first host is dead, and you are also rapidly developing Weakness. Without a replenishment of mental energy, you dissipate within a day.

  And in your current state, if you forcibly parasitize, you will only be swallowed by the host in reverse.

unless…"

   "Unless what? Can you save me?"

"I said I will save you, and I will definitely do it. This is related to my mother's reputation..." Dai'er said: "The person who bought you must know how to save you, just find something with less spiritual power to parasitize you .”

"So simple?"

"Otherwise... just provide you with spiritual nourishment, and prevent you from starving to death. Look at what I just caught..." Princess Dai'er caught a mouse from nowhere, and she shook the mouse's tail in front of the cabinet: "This is one of the few animals that I don't feel guilty about killing. It's enough for you to be a host."

  The shadow parasitic element iterative body resisted and said: "You let me parasitize in the soul of a mouse."

"I don't think there is anything bad about it. According to the experimental records, the weaker the host's soul is, the easier it is for the parasitic metamorphosis to gain control. Parasitic in the body of an advanced organism, you are locked in a cage, and you will be plagued by sequelae at any time The host dies together. But in the soul of a parasitic mouse, you can go wherever you want. If you feel that you are dying, you can just change to another mouse. What more do you want?

  For this kind of freedom, I crawled over from the garbage dump and had to pretend to be a dead body. "

  The shadow parasitic element iteration is still hesitating. The spiritual energy of an animal like a mouse is hanging on his life for him, and he will become very weak.

Dai'er urged: "I have no better way... The ship will stop at any time, and I will be surrounded by unloading people, so I can't escape. The person who bought you must have put you in a weak animal soul first , and then continue to experiment, you will die in the experiment at any time.

  You are an iterative body with serious flaws, otherwise you can't buy it no matter how much money you spend. "

   "Okay." The iterative body knows that only by escaping can it talk about survival, but it still puts forward conditions for Daier: "After escaping, I will follow you."

   "Why?" Thinking of carrying the pinched mouse with her, Dai'er couldn't help shivering: "I will give you freedom, and I did it."

   "I just helped you, and we settled the matter. If you don't promise to protect me in the future, I will expose your identity now."

   "You are too much! And I'm a bit dumb, but not stupid. You can't run away if you shout now. Goodbye..."

  Daier opened the cabinet, quickly threw the mouse in, then turned around and ran away. She made a hole in the barn wall by magic, got out and jumped into the water of the ditch.

   After a while, a mouse crawled out of the cabinet. It looked back at the corpse of its first host, jumped to the floor, and then rushed out of the hole opened by Daier like a puff of smoke.

  At this time, the hull of the ship shook, and the lid of the opened cabinet fell and closed.

  The garbage ship docked to the shore, and more than a dozen searchlights illuminated the deck of the ship without any blind spots. A group of people in dirty canvas suits rushed forward and together carried the garbage bin to the shore.

   More people surrounded them from all sides, holding various tools in their hands, but none of them dared to approach these garbage bins.

  At this time, someone jumped onto a garbage bin and shouted: "Mr. Malcolm packed this cargo, but Mr. has the courage not to eat it all... No, he won't swallow it all.

   Neither.

  In short, Mr. Malcolm will pick this batch first, and the rest will be yours. Whether you can pick up the expensive goods depends entirely on your luck, and the husband will not want it, nor will he look down on it. "

   Hearing that Malconn would not "eat" all this batch of garbage, the somewhat impatient staff immediately quieted down. And he guessed that there were some good things in this batch, and Mr. Malken personally chose them.

   Surrounded by a group of thugs, Malcolm, dressed as an upper class, walked to the door of a garbage warehouse.

The captain saluted respectfully, and then opened the door: "Mr. Malcolm, everything you want is inside. There was a riot in the imperial city, and the city was under martial law. Fortunately, Captain Tai Li was on duty. He knew what you wanted. Let go immediately.

  No delays on the way. "

   "There was indeed an accident in the city of St. Lun. You guys delivered the goods in time. You did a great job! The reward will not be missing from you, and Captain Taili. Say hello to him for me when you go back."

  Although Malken didn't know what happened in the city of St. Lun, he knew that something big happened. Just now he was worried that the goods could not be delivered in time, but now he is very happy to see it with his own eyes.

   After a few compliments to the captain, Malken walked into the warehouse.

  He lifted off the white cloth covering the corpse one by one, and estimated the available parts and value with his professional knowledge.

  It's very fresh, the quality is very high, and there are two living bodies inside that haven't died completely, so it can be bought at a very good price.

   Malken waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately carried the corpses to the prepared nutrient solution warehouse outside. The trash that the Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center disdains to dispose of is a treasure that can be reused for people like them in the lower city.

  Especially this batch of high-end garbage that he spent a lot of money on.

   But Malken was most concerned about the innermost cabinet. He walked to the cabinet, his hands trembling with uncontrollable excitement.

  The shadow parasitic element iterative body is the highest-level extraordinary species research project of the Golden Shield Empire, and it is absolutely not allowed to leak out of the experimental body. Malcolm paid an extremely high price to obtain this somewhat incomplete iterative body. But he felt that the price he paid was really worth it compared to what he got.

  This is the first generation of iterative bodies, and theoretically it can be cultivated two to four more times. If you can comprehend and repair the defects of this shadow parasitic iterative body, you can carry out your own research direction that was abandoned by the extraordinary species cultivation center.

   What if the sequelae are strong? So what if you lose your soul?

  The least valuable thing in downtown is human life.

   Malcolm put one hand on the cabinet, and with the other hand, he took the little white mouse handed over by his subordinates.

   "Hello, I know you are very weak now. I have specially prepared a safe host for you, I will cure your defects, and I will make you a real shadowman."

  Malcon's words did not receive any response.

   Realizing something, Malcolm suddenly lifted the lid of the cabinet.

   Inside lay the corpse of a young man, nothing but a corpse.

   At this time, some subordinates shouted: "Mr. Malcolm, there is a hole here!"
