"What?!"

For the first time, everyone was still nervous about someone sneaking into the small garden, but now, after seeing the flesh-and-blood shapeshifter, everyone was just confused and shocked: "When?! When did it sneak into our team?! "

"It was Said who was replaced - let me just say that with Said's strength, it is impossible to dodge this bullet. No wonder he just seemed to be pretending to be unable to dodge!"

After all, they are all the elites of Huaiguang. The team immediately changed their formations. Instead, led by Redemption, they surrounded the flesh-and-blood shapeshifter in the middle of the team. An invisible force field shield squeezed the space of the flesh-and-blood shapeshifter. It howled ferociously and begged for mercy.

But the more they beg for mercy, the less likely the members of the rescue team, who are angry because their companions have been replaced, will hold back.

On the other side, Huijian was holding the long sword in his hand, communicating with the 'guest' who fired the shot that revealed the shape-shifter's true identity.

With a gun in his hand, Ian wanted to introduce himself in a new way - he had already thought about the origin of his new identity, and was waiting to use this impactful debut scene to deepen his impression.

But he never thought that Huijian glanced at the black-haired young man in front of him, moved his lips slightly, and said, 'Ian? 'shape.

Ian's expression froze, and he even wanted to say bad words for a moment.

——No, is my disguise effective? I was a little proud of deceiving Dean Mo Ze just now, but how come I was seen through as soon as I arrived at Huaiguang? !

Thinking about how I looked like this when I met Bishop Baiwu... That was actually acceptable. After all, Bishop Baiwu had even seen through Teacher Hilliard's disguise, and he already knew his true identity...

hateful! Do these light-bearing priests have true vision?

At this moment, Huijian looked at Ian with a smile, his eyes lit up with blue spiritual light: [Please forgive me, Ian, I know you don’t want your identity to be revealed, so I won’t Tell others your true identity—please let me know if you need cooperation]

The same type of ‘spiritual communication’ as Bishop Baiwu. Ian has always wondered whether the Huaiguang Church has mastered the ability to share spiritual energy. Now it seems that this is basically a fact.

[Just help me deepen the impression that I am from the City of Knowledge or from the Dragon Worship Cult, shake it a bit]

Ian said to Huijian helplessly: [Also, what is wrong with my disguise? How can you see through my true identity in one go? 】

[No, don’t worry, it’s not your fault that I can see through your true identity. Even my psychic perception will be confused by the breath of dream monsters on your body. This is an impeccable disguise]

Huijian consoled him seriously: [The reason why I know this is just because... I am a true Holy Priest with the Light. We see the world differently]

[This is something difficult to explain. In short, we will not reveal your identity. This is an oath made to Huaiguang]

——Although it was very uncomfortable, because it was the Huaiguang Church, Ian could barely accept it.

After all, if they swear, they will really keep their oath... He finally understood why everyone, including Teacher Hilliard, had such complicated emotions towards Huai Guang.

Ian's expression looked even more gloomy at this moment. He sighed and began to have a real-life conversation with Huijian.

Since his true identity has been discovered, he has little energy. The conversation with Huijian can be simply reduced to four sentences.

"Thank you very much for your help, but out of caution, I still want to ask for your name so that I can address you more easily..."

"Mahdi. You can also call me 'Valley'."

"Then, may I ask what your purpose is?"

"Save people."

The matter almost ended like this - Redemption led the team to successfully eliminate the flesh-and-blood shapeshifter. This kind of monster was still dangerous when it was not discovered, but after it was discovered, it was quite vulnerable to a frontal attack.

"It really has Said's memory... Damn it, was Said eaten by him?!"

"No... Look, Said's brain still exists... This flesh-and-blood shapeshifter is parasitic in his body, and then slowly devours his entire body, using his brain as a memory bank! No wonder we can't find it Clues!"

While Ian was communicating with Huijian, the team had already begun to dissect the enemy's corpse.

But the results were quite surprising.

The flesh-and-blood shapeshifters are actually partially similar to the brain-eating insects in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. They can both acquire the memory and part of the thinking pattern of the parasitized target through parasitism, and then imitate the parasitized target to infiltrate.

There is no doubt that this is Central Laboratory research on parasites, a very useful spy monster.

But it is a pity that this reproduced parasite does not have the efficient computing power of the brain-attached civilization of the previous era, nor does it have the powerful differentiation ability and psychic network like the real brain-eating worm, or even Because he is too smart to perform tasks perfectly, he will not obey orders too much.

Overall, it's half-assed.

The person who was parasitized was named 'Sed'. He was a knight of the Seven Cities Alliance who was taciturn but kept his word. He was probably parasitized during a battle. Because he didn't talk much at ordinary times, he was not suspected. After spending the initial integration period, he used his perfect disguise to ambush the other two teammates.

His brain was still alive, but it was covered by the body of a flesh-and-blood shapeshifter. It was protected by Yingguang in a preservation vessel. With the technology of the Spiritual Machinery Church, he might be able to replace it with a full-body prosthetic body.

"I didn't expect Yingguang to be here... Will their teacher come too? The Huaiguang monk who is at least the third level..."

After seeing the familiar dragon nun, Ian was a little surprised, but it was not very strange to think that Redemption was here.

After confirmation, Ian, who pretended to be a friend and was kidnapped, and now wanted to come to rescue people from the Serenity Sea, became known to everyone as "The Valley".

"Yeng Gu, how did you identify the shapeshifter?"

A Queyan archer sat next to Ian with a piece of potato dried in a very familiar manner. He handed the potato dried to the dark-haired knight who looked quite uneasy on the surface: "If you need it, It doesn’t matter if I can’t tell you how to keep it secret. The main reason is that this monster actually hid it from all of us this time and caused the murder of three brothers and sisters... I really want to know.”

Ian took the dried potato, glanced at the bird archer, weighed it, and then returned it to him.

Queren blinked. She didn't quite understand why Ian did this, but her expression changed immediately when she took the dried potatoes - because this seemingly light piece of dried food actually became very heavy. Although she was not weak, she was very strong. , but because I was not mentally prepared, I almost missed it and slipped.

"Earth element..." She murmured to herself, and the dried potato in her hand soon returned to its original weight.

"density."

Looking sideways at the dried potatoes, Ian said softly: "The density around his brain is different from that of normal people. It's too heavy."

This is the answer.

Although after confirming the abnormality, Ian also used a silver chip to confirm it, but that was just a necessary confirmation. In fact, the body density distribution of flesh-and-blood shapeshifters is different from that of normal people. As long as you are sensitive to this aspect, you can at least detect something wrong.

But after all, they are companions who have been adventuring together for so long, and no one can become suspicious just because something is wrong.

[What is his origin? What purpose? 】

Just when Ian showed off his skills and began to gradually chat with other people in the team, Redemption used the internal communication to communicate with Huijian with some vigilance: [This is the first time I have seen you so confident in letting a stranger join the team—— Could this be an acquaintance of yours? 】

[We have worked together for more than ten years, and you know all my friends]

Huijian replied calmly: [But he can indeed rest assured - as for the purpose, think about it, how many people are locked up in Avak's laboratory? How many people are there who have a high status? 】

[Not to mention the dragon, even the missing goblins may be in it... Whether it's the Dragon Worship Cult, Falling Star City, or the knowledge custodian over there in the City of Knowledge... it's all possible, isn't it? He is also here to save people, so he goes with us, and because we are Huaiguang, he is willing to trust us]

[You are misleading us by telling part of the truth]

Shouguang said firmly: [But I know how much the other party can reassure you, so it seems that it is indeed worthy of trust...]

[Yingguang, what do you think? 】
