I Have A Game Clone Chapter 123 – 123 Hao Meng's Identity

123 Hao Meng's Identity

Ning Shi followed Hao Meng to her office.

After Hao Meng finished making tea, Ning Shi handed his phone over.

“This is the information I obtained in the insect world. Take a look first.”

Hao Meng took the phone, opened the videos, and watched them intently.

The more she watched, the more serious her expression became.

After Hao Meng finished, Ning Shi took a sip of tea and said, “In the insect world, the insect tribes are divided into low-level insects, intermediate-level insects, advanced-level insects, and the top king-level insects.”

After devouring the war insect commander, Ning Shi was able to transform into it and send brainwave information to the generals. Throughout the process, he had also obtained the genetic memory of the commander, which allowed him to form some speculation about the insect disaster and beast disaster.

Ning Shi told Hao Meng his speculation, saying, “There are a total of 18 king-tier insects in the insect world, and the spirit devouring insects are one of them. Saturn shares a border with the spirit devouring insects' territory. I'm guessing that the so-called bug disaster is the invasion of spirit devouring insects alone. It's not an act of the entire insect world.”

Hao Meng seemed to be thinking about something and didn't say anything. Ning Shi continued, “As for the beast disaster, it concerns two types of reproduction of the insect tribes.”

Ning Shi sorted out the insect commander's memory fragments in his mind and organized his words.

“Some of the insect tribes reproduce by creating new, independent individuals. Most of them rely on their extremely terrifying reproduction ability to form an advantage in numbers and crush their enemies. A small portion rely on their powerful individual abilities and are groomed into elite soldiers. The war insects are elite soldiers. Compared to other insects, which numbered in the hundreds of billions, the number of war insects was really not that high.”

Ning Shi continued, “On the other hand, some of the insect tribes reproduce by creating new parts to form an assembly. Their offspring do not have independent consciousness and abilities, but they could carry out certain roles, just like the various parts of a car. When they came together, they would form organs or body tissues such as hands and feet. When these tissues gather together, they can form a terrifying giant beast that is over 10,000 meters tall!”

Seeing the shock in Hao Meng's eyes, Ning Shi could empathize with her. He was also very shocked when he first learned about the origins of the giant beasts from the memory fragments of the insect commander.

Ning Shi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and continued to explain, “The mountain-like behemoths and the giant birds in the sky you just saw are made up of countless tiny insects. You can consider these behemoths as individual entities, or you can see them as a group of insects. A single giant beast consists of an entire insect tribe.

For special reasons, these insects produce a magical chemical reaction after they combine, allowing the behemoth's body to possess all kinds of magical abilities.

In the core of the giant beast, there is an organ for the insects to reproduce. Inside, new insects are born continuously. Once the giant beast is injured, the newborn insects will fill the wound and the giant beast's injury will recover immediately. In theory, the giant beasts are immortal.”

Hao Meng came back to her senses. She took a sip of tea and asked, “Do you think that the beast disaster refers to these giant beasts made up of insects?”

“Yes,” replied Ning Shi as he nodded. “Based on the information we have so far, I'm guessing that the insect disaster refers to the invasion of the king-tier spirit devouring insects during the era when the world boundary existed. They invaded Saturn for some reason.

As for the beast disaster, it refers to us being attacked by giant beasts when the space barrier was lifted and the world boundary disappeared. It happened when Saturn and the insect world were in the same space.”

Hao Meng asked another question.

“How many of these giant beasts have you detected in the insect world? ”

“18. There are 18 of them in total, ” Ning Shi replied. “This number corresponds to the 18 king-tier insect tribes that reproduce individuals.”

Hao Meng's gaze shifted as she nodded. She said, “The numbers match. According to the documents I've read before, during the beast disaster, there were more than 10 giant beasts that attacked Saturn. The 18 giant beasts and 18 king-tier insect tribes are equal in number. This shouldn't be a coincidence.”

Hao Meng analyzed, “Shitou, don't you feel that the way these behemoths are formed is very similar to our industrial production method? After listening to your description of them, I feel like there's a higher being or civilization that's producing and creating these behemoths.”

Ning Shi was shocked and thought of the brainwave network of the insect commander. It was like a spider web that could transmit information and enhance the communication between the insect commanders.

It was indeed very similar to the model of the Internet.

Hao Meng's guess was very reasonable. Could it be that there was once a superpower from a higher dimension in the insect world?

However, after checking the insect commander's memory fragments, Ning Shi shook his head.

“According to the information I've obtained, the insect world has been reproducing and living like this for thousands of years. The most powerful species are the giant beasts and the insect kings. There has never been a more powerful civilization than them.”

Ning Shi then told Hao Meng about the insect commander and the brainwave network.

The two of them analyzed it for a long time, but due to their limited information, they could not come to a definitive conclusion.

Hao Meng finally said, “The existence of the brainwave network and the giant beasts might be a coincidence. Everything is interconnected. Many civilizations or races will always have some common characteristics in the end. We can only slowly gather information to deduce the final truth.”

After exchanging information about the insect world, Ning Shi took out a black crystal from his backpack and handed it to Hao Meng.

“This is the energy source needed for the war insects to reproduce, the black crystal. I think it's a very advanced energy source, so I want you to study it and see if we can use it. ”

The energy source of the World of Moen were magic cores while Saturn had spiritual crystals. The insect world most likely depended on black crystals or other colored crystals.

Although the structure was different, they were all energy sources in essence.

Hao Meng took the black crystal and observed it carefully. Then, she said, “I can feel the energy contained in it. It's very pure, almost the same as a S-level spiritual crystal. However, it's probably very difficult for us to make use of it.”

She continued, “There are many kinds of energy in the world. Electricity from power generation, heat generated from combustion, and nuclear energy generated by nuclear fusion were all forms of energy. However, these energies could only be used on external objects to increase productivity. The human body could not absorb them. In theory, the black crystal is only suitable for the insects to absorb and reproduce, so it should be difficult for us to utilize it.”

Ning Shi smiled, took out another 10 black crystals, and handed them to Hao Meng.

He said, “It's fine. We're just studying them for the time being. We don't necessarily have to force any results. Even if we can't use them, it's good to understand the energy source of the insects.”

Hao Meng put away the black crystals and replied, “Don't worry. It will be difficult to figure out how to use the black crystal, but I'll find out whether its energy can be absorbed by the human body or not after a while.”

Seeing Hao Meng's confident look, Ning Shi was suddenly very curious.

He really wanted to know what abilities Hao Meng had.

Her subordinate, Mo Yu, was a high-level space-type awakener.

Her subordinates were already very strong, so Hao Meng's strength would certainly not be weak.

Since his curiosity was piqued, Ning Shi could no longer hold back and released the Eye of Truth.

[Eye of Truth activated. Target: Hao Meng. Comparison of the host's and the target's spiritual energy: 32/48. Target possesses a special mental barrier, only a minute amount of information can be viewed.]

Once he completed his investigation, Ning Shi felt his spiritual power being rapidly consumed. Before he had time to look at the information given by the system, he had a throbbing headache. He could not help but hold his head.

Hao Meng also sensed that Ning Shi had used some kind of skill to probe her. She was a little angry at first, but when she saw him holding his head, she recalled her own mental barrier.

She was worried that she had accidentally injured him.

She sat next to Ning Shi and asked with concern, “Shitou, are you alright?”

Ning Shi only felt a slight pain in his head and was not hurt, but he felt a little embarrassed.

He knew that Hao Meng had sensed his probing and immediately apologized.

“I'm sorry, Mengmeng. I was just curious about your ability. I recently learned a probing skill and couldn't help but use it.”

Hao Meng looked at Ning Shi helplessly and said, “My strength is at the overlord realm. If you're curious, just ask me. I'll tell you everything I can.”

She repeated what she had said before, “Even if I hide some things from you, I have my reasons for doing so. I would never harm you!”

Ning Shi nodded and said to Hao Meng again, “It's my fault, I was too curious.”

It was not right for Ning Shi to invade her privacy whenever he wanted, even if they were lovers. He had indeed acted too impulsively.

Anyone who had mastered an ability like the Eye of Truth would not be able to resist using it all the time.

After apologizing, the two of them smiled at each other and chatted in the office for a while before Ning Shi got up and left.

After walking out of the research room, Ning Shi couldn't help but look at Hao Meng's information given by the system.
