Extraterrestrial parasite

The five militants wearing exoskeleton armor couldn't show anything in their helmets, but just from the fact that they collectively took a step back, you could see the horror in their hearts at this moment.

However, there was only a moment left for them to be frightened. "Chen Yang" lowered his head slightly, stared at them with empty eyes, and slowly stretched out his right hand...

"Pa bang bang..."

As soldiers, their reaction speed and psychological quality are much better than ordinary people. Even though they were shocked at this time, their reaction was not to run away, but to calm down and continue shooting.

But they made the wrong decision today.

"Cracking" spattered countless sparks, and the bullets fired from the five assault rifles were accurately cut in half by countless extended and transformed sharp blades before they reached "Chen Yang". Completely changed the ballistic trajectory.

It was too late. No matter how the trigger was pulled, the bullets fired were split from it. Before the five armed men had time to retreat, dozens of sharp blades extended over and slashed at them like lightning. Like cutting through a few pieces of tofu, the exoskeleton armor couldn't even block it for a moment, and exploded with the flesh and blood of the remaining limbs flying.

"call……"

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the white snow on the ground had been completely dyed red by the steaming blood, melting large areas.

"Chen Yang" didn't even look at the fate of the five people on the street. He handed over control of his body as if he had already predicted what would happen.

"Ahem..."

Chen Yang coughed, and the soft feeling that spread throughout his body showed that the action of his right hand just now was not completely without sequelae, but it was obvious that the ability of his right hand had improved rapidly again, compared to when he controlled him before. How terrifying it is.

"Sir Screw, you..."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yang hesitated and said: "Have you fully recovered?"

The right hand transformed into an extremely ferocious mouthpart and densely packed sharp teeth, which made Chen Yang, who was already used to seeing it, suddenly feel a chill on his back again.

"Recovery? No."

"It's still a little bit short... If there are no accidents, in another month. I will be able to regain the ability I had in my prime."

"A month?"

Chen Yang remained silent for a long time.

"Boarding body, I feel your heartbeat has accelerated by five percent. Are you worried?"

"Worried? What am I worried about?"

Chen Yang showed a smile: "Sir Screw has finally recovered. It's too late for me to be happy. Why should I be worried?"

"Although I can't completely check your memory without implanting your brain nerves, your simple emotional changes cannot be hidden from me."

The mouthpart of his right hand was parallel to Chen Yang's line of sight, only about ten centimeters away from his eyes.

"You are worried...worried that after I recover, I will completely parasitize you and erase your memory and thinking, right?"

The clear words of his right hand could no longer keep Chen Yang calm. His heart beat accelerated again, and his pupils dilated slightly. It was obviously impossible to hide this external emotional expression and internal changes from his right hand.

In this case, Chen Yang could only nodded and admitted.

The right hand is not a human from Earth. It is not really effective to be imaginary and conciliatory with it, not to mention the parasitic relationship between the two. It also makes it impossible for many lies to be hidden from the other party. No, it should be said that as long as Chen Yang's heart rate and brain wave state change and fluctuate from before when he lies, he will naturally not be able to conceal the detection of his right hand.

No matter how calm he was, Chen Yang finally spoke directly to him with his right hand. I can't hide it anymore.

"Yes, Chief Screw... You also know that our previous cooperation agreement is that when you are injured, you will have to face threats from components. At the same time, because you need to be silent and dormant to recover, our cooperation and The agreement can only be established.”

Chen Yang said slowly: "To be honest, in your eyes, my status must be the same as that of an ant in my eyes. If it weren't for the two reasons above, wouldn't it be a total parasitism if you directly erased my thinking and memory? better?"

"But since you are almost fully recovered, the premise of our cooperation plan is based on the fact that both of us need each other. Now that this prerequisite is gone, I don't know if we can still cooperate?"

Chen Yang's worries and fears were not unreasonable. The previous "friendly relationship" between them was largely due to the injury to his right hand, which forced him to spend a lot of time sleeping to regain his strength. While it was sleeping, its right hand was unable to respond to external stimuli, and it was obviously unable to protect its own safety. Therefore, it proposed a cooperation plan and improved Chen Yang's individual strength to protect its own safety.

Chen Yang was not unaware of the hidden dangers involved, but he had no choice. The first reason was that the temptation presented by his right hand was too great. Endless life and endless wealth simply could not be ignored by him.

The second reason is that Chen Yang, who had not been trained before, would definitely not be able to hide his right hand if he lied. It was absolutely impossible to agree first and then wait until his right hand was asleep to cut off his right hand.

As a person with a fairly normal IQ, Chen Yang had a vague feeling that if he lied, he would definitely die miserably.

Chen Yang, who later understood a lot, couldn't help but feel happy. If he had really tried to lie before, his right hand would have found out immediately. What would be the consequences... He didn't want to think about it. It would be too miserable. It's not an exaggeration to say that life would be worse than death. .

The time to wait for the answer from his right hand was obviously only a few seconds. Chen Yang held his breath and concentrated, but it felt longer than ten minutes.

"……certainly……"

The right mouth part opened, seeming to be more ferocious: "We still need to cooperate."

"We still need to cooperate!"

While breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Yang hesitated and said: "Sir, I don't understand. Our status is not equal, and there are no conditions to restrict you. Why do you still choose to cooperate with me? You can directly erase my consciousness. Isn’t it better?”

"You want me to erase your consciousness?"

"Of course not!"

Chen Yang immediately said: "Of course I don't want you to erase my consciousness, I want to live..."

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Chen Yang's tone was full of determination: "I want to live, not for decades or a hundred years, but to live to the end that is invisible... Not just to live, I want to see Looking at other places in this universe, I want to know the true side of this universe, I want to know the real mystery of the universe.”

Staring at his right hand, Chen Yang said calmly: "Maybe I agreed to cooperate with you for wealth and power before, but now I really don't think so. Power and wealth are just means, not the fundamental purpose. Compared with other The entire universe, not to mention wealth and power, even the history of mankind is not worth mentioning."

Stretching out his left hand, Chen Yang stood on the roof of the building and pointed at the endless deserted buildings in the distance of New York: "Commander Screw, look, haven't you even thought about it before? This is actually a parallel universe... This is What an incredible thing. There are still many things we don’t know. I don’t live to eat, sleep and have fun. I just want to know more things.”

After hearing Chen Yang's words, the right hand was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Abraham Maslow, your human being, once proposed the hierarchy of human needs theory, believing that human needs should be divided into physiological needs, safety needs, five levels of love and belonging, as well as respect and self-actualization.”

"His theory, although there are still some missing parts, can also be regarded as the three "evolutionary levels" of all intelligent life in the universe, survival, self-realization and self-transcendence. The reason why intelligent creatures are different from other creatures is It’s not about having considerable wisdom, but also because there is a desire for self-realization and self-transcendence. These are intelligent creatures.”

"When I first landed on Earth, by parasitizing on you, I was not only recovering my abilities, but I was also constantly observing you humans."

"But what makes me very disappointed is that although you humans have reached the second stage of civilization, most of the individuals in your intelligent civilization are still in the stage of "survival" (food, sex, desire) Struggling, only a small number of individuals have entered the stage of self-realization.”

"But you are different... As one of the human beings, you are a bit strange. Maybe at the beginning you were only in the survival stage, limited by the influence of the body, addicted to various desires... But it is estimated that even you are Unexpectedly, you quickly left the survival stage and entered the stage of self-realization and even self-transcendence.”

The right hand said: "Aren't you asking me why I am still willing to cooperate with you? The reason is very simple, just because you are very interesting."

"very funny?"

Chen Yang was surprised.

"Yes, it's very interesting. There may be a technological gap between intelligent races, but there is no gap between two individuals who both have the need for self-transcendence."

"You don't have to explain it. In the eyes of humans, any cooperation is driven by profit. But I have lived for more than 10,000 Earth years. Why do you think I am still alive?"

His right hand said calmly: "Do interesting things, observe interesting creatures, and understand things you don't know. To a certain extent, we are both pursuing the same goal."

Chen Yang smiled bitterly. His right hand said so much. In fact, in a nutshell, he is a human being who has escaped from vulgar taste, so it is very interesting. Let's keep observing.

It’s a strange reason, but it makes sense after thinking about it carefully.

It is a mistake in itself to use human thinking to think about the thinking mode of the right hand. As an earthling, Chen Yang estimates that it is difficult to truly understand the thinking of the right hand. In his opinion, it is reasonable, but in his opinion, it is unreasonable. Even if it is unreasonable, it seems reasonable to it. (To be continued...)
