Chapter 3157 Symbiote

The bus symbiote... Lin didn't know about this kind of thing before.

Buses don't feel 'lonely' or anything, although they usually spend long periods of time without doing anything special.

But they don’t…care.

According to Ersh, it seems that some buses are not like this.

Or they have some special ideas.

The first person to do this was a relatively young bus, which might have felt bored or had some special... ideas in its life.

So, it separated a part of its own neural structure and created this special creature.

That is, 'symbiont'.

This symbiote can be said to be exactly the same organism as the bus that created it.

In fact, it is better to say that the bus created it than to say that the bus separated a small part of its own nerves, preventing them from transmitting information to each other, thus forming a new consciousness.

Of course, this consciousness is exactly the same as the original consciousness of the bus. However, after the young bus created such a new consciousness, it has been trying to communicate and talk with this consciousness in various ways.

Over time, they go from being exactly the same to being slightly different.

It is not clear what happened afterwards, and this separated consciousness... also became very different.

Although it is still composed of bus nerves, it has a huge "gap" from other bus creatures.

For example, other buses cannot detect its neural structure...at the same time, it also has many ideas that are different from other buses.

It feels like it has turned into another kind of bus creature.

After learning about this symbiote, some other buses also tried to do the same, but they used the same method to create a neural structure with the same consciousness as their own, and there was no change even after a long time.

News about this symbiote soon became a complete mystery. No one knew where it had disappeared to, nor what happened to the small bus that created it.

There is very little information available about the entire story, which is similar to a legend among buses.

But Lin found it here.

After learning the situation from Ersh, Lin also carefully studied the bus nerve structure here.

In fact, it was not research, but a "threat" to it... Lin used the micro soldiers in the jar to continuously send a large amount of information to it.

The messages initially asked it some questions, such as asking it about the symbiote, but it did not respond at all.

So after a while Lin changed the question into a threat, like she would attack it if it didn't respond.

However, it still did not respond.

Then, Lin gathered the miniature soldiers in the jar and made them start to expand continuously...it looked like they were about to explode.

But it still didn't react, so Lin blew up a jar.

Then, Lin ordered all the miniature soldiers in the other jars to prepare for explosion.

At this time, it finally reacted...Lin also confirmed that it was pretending.

The bus nerve in the jar showed absolutely no activity, which was actually a deliberate display of it.

And the automatic defense system in the jar... seems to have no response to Lin's micro-troops.

It has no attack response to targets that are too small.

Under forced circumstances, this "symbiote" finally responded and answered Lin's...question.

The first questions I asked about it were mainly about its "background".

Of course it doesn't call itself a 'symbiont'.

It actually has a name it thinks is more suitable... that is 'Gravedigger'.

It told Lin some things about its past, which were similar to the legends Lin had heard from Ersh.

That is, it was indeed made by a small bus in the past, just as Lin knew.

However, the specific purpose of manufacturing it seems to be because this mini bus has some... problems.

It loves telling stories.

When the Little Bus first created the symbiote, it deliberately made the symbiote... have no perception ability.

It is completely unaware of anything in the outside world, which means that it has been in endless darkness since its 'birth'.

Although it is considered a part of the minibus' neural structure, the minibus wiped out all the memories of this part of the neural structure when it was manufactured, leaving only a small amount of 'knowledge'.

So from the very beginning it could only find itself in complete darkness with horror.

This went on for a while.

Then the mini bus suddenly appeared in its dark world.

Then, the little bus kept... telling it all kinds of things. Most of the things the little bus talked about were about the colorful world outside, all kinds of creatures and so on.

Because the signals are sent directly through thoughts, the symbiote can know the appearance of various things that these small buses tell it without any imagination.

Of course, all this only exists in its mind, and it is still pitch black around it.

At the beginning, it felt very grateful to the mini bus because it was the mini bus that brought light to its dark world.

Therefore, it has always been very interested in learning the various stories about the mini bus.

Until...sometime later, its gratitude towards the bus turned into anger.

Because...it knows the truth.

However, it didn't know that by itself; the bus told it.

The little bus told it everything, and the little bus let the symbiote know...it was created.

The mini bus deliberately did not give it the ability to perceive, just to tell it these stories and let it be surprised by the scenery inside.

After that, the minibus continued to tell it all kinds of things.

Since the symbiote couldn't do anything, it could only... be forced to listen to the stories of the little bus.

Because the 'knowledge' that the minibus originally gave it made it think in a very abominable way.

But in reality, it doesn't feel anything special about it.

There was just a wonderful sense of despair.

This feeling made it lose interest in everything, and the rich things that it previously found interesting became meaningless.

Until...sometime.

It suddenly realized... it woke up.

To be precise, it has grown some sensory organs that can directly sense the external environment other than the pitch-black darkness.

And the mini bus... I don't know where it went.

The moment it woke up, it found itself... on a dying tumbler.

Why do we say near death? Because that place is about to explode.
