Chapter 68 Normal Creatures

"The truth about 'expectations' is... the expectations of animals."

The mutants living in the surrounding void are not very clear about the war situation on the surface.

Because many of them moved out when the discrimination began, or surrendered as soon as the fight started.

No one could hold on to the end, and no one knew about the curse.

At some point, the normal people below invited them, saying that they had found a way to turn them into normal people.

Then, all the mutants began to cheer.

But you have to pass the test...the one Lin saw before.

That test was actually to see if they could possibly turn into animals.

Because not every mutant's thinking part will become an animal. Those with an expected value of 0 are completely useless and will not turn into animals even if they are eaten.

If the expectation value is high, it can turn into an animal. Those with very high expectation value don’t even need to be eaten by animals. They can turn into animals after being buried in the wild for a period of time.

Why is this happening? They don’t know.

But at least a method for testing expected values ​​has been developed.

Of course, the normal people did not bring all the mutants down at once, but only a small part each time.

All that's left is to let them continue to live and reproduce in the void, which will provide them with a constant supply of brains to transform into animals.

As for the normal people on the surface, they decided to live in the pits until the animals cleared a large enough area on the surface and the number of monsters decreased to a certain level, and then they could live on the surface.

As a result, they live a fairly comfortable life.

They even regard feeding the mutants animals as an entertainment activity, just like now... They feed them on the platform in the center of the pit, mainly for the surrounding residents to watch.

However, it is said that only a few cities do this, and of course this city is one of them.

Most residents feel that their current life is pretty good, but some are trying to figure out the...secrets behind it all.

Like the leader of this city.

Since it was young, it has always wanted to understand why all this happened and how everything here was formed.

Everything here is strange. Some of them maintain the "rules" of the normal void. Creatures like the Ershi people need both sexes to reproduce, and they also have limits on their lifespans.

And some do not follow normal rules, such as the mutants' brains can directly change into various animals.

It seems that as long as certain conditions are met, their life forms can be modified at will.

The biggest question is whether this group of Ershi people have always maintained the normal "feeling" of the void.

Therefore, they think that direct changes are abnormal and ordinary reproduction is normal, which makes it easy for them to discover various abnormal points for research.

It is a 'truth seeker', always trying to uncover all secrets.

Until one day, its parents told it that all the members of their family had been studying this.

From the moment they entered the unpredictable land, they were attracted by this strange void. They wanted to know everything here and understand everything here.

Starting from a certain generation, they discovered that they could store part of their memories and pass on this research for a long time.

But in reality, there has been no special progress in each generation of research, so this memory storage is more like... a diary than research.

However, they have more or less recorded various phenomena in unforeseen places.

Therefore, this generation, that is, this leader...decided to understand all of this while he was still alive.

It tried to go deep into the core of this Ersh.

If we go a little deeper into this Ershi... the depth of the bottom of these giant pits will be full of magma.

Going deeper, there is also magma.

The interior seems to be completely liquid, and the temperature is getting higher and higher.

Of course, this 'temperature'... is only on the surface.

There are ways to reduce it or even change it.

To be precise, it is to change the 'cognition' of it.

At some point, the leader found the 'brain' of a monster. These monsters... were the native creatures of the unpredictable land. Their perception of this Ershi was completely different from that of the Ershi people.

Simply put, in their "eyes", Ersh is not Ersh, and magma is not magma.

Although the general shapes are similar, the magma does no harm to these monsters.

The leader was very... confused about this phenomenon.

Why is this? Is it that the reason why magma is magma is because they perceive it as magma... and think that it has a high temperature and will harm themselves? If other creatures do not have this perception, they will not harm themselves?

But the weapons they make can do great damage to these monsters. Why is that?

It has never found the answer to all this research.

However, it successfully built a 'submarine'.

It is actually a submarine, and the detection system of this submarine is entirely made using the monster's brain.

It uses the monster's brain as the core of the system to analyze the data of the external environment, and then presents it on the internal 'computer'.

Although it can do this, it still cannot understand the reason for all this, because it simply connects various detection devices to the monster's brain. At the same time, it also finds that it can use something to convert the information in the monster's brain into visible "pictures".

Sitting inside this submarine, you can see that the environment outside is very strange and has nothing to do with "magma".

At the same time, submarines that use monster brains for detection will not be harmed by magma at all.

No matter how high the original temperature is, it can go to any area without being harmed by high temperatures.

However, it will be attacked by some strange things in the magma.

Compared with the high temperatures that exist all the time, this danger is still bearable.

Finally, it reached a considerable depth.

That is, it found a cave somewhere more than 10,000 meters underground.

It was also here that it came into contact with some of Ersh's secrets.

When it left the submarine, it landed in a cave... This cave was very strange.

Because it observes with the monster's brain and with its own eyes, the environment of the cave is exactly the same.

This is what makes it feel very surprising.

What it had observed with its monster brain before was not only the magma, but also the environment on the surface of Ersh. This was completely different from what it saw itself, and it could be said to be like another world.

But the environment of this cave looks exactly the same, which makes it feel weird.

The cave itself is actually very ordinary, just like most underground caves, but it looks like this in both ways of thinking, which is very strange.

When it first entered the cave, it felt that it was not hot at all. Although there was magma surging like a waterfall outside the cave, inside... it did not feel any temperature.

It just sensed another kind of...information.

It knew then that it was an Ershi people from the "abnormal time and space".

It had sensed the memories of its ancestors, and the earliest memory was when it was wandering around the outskirts of an unpredictable place.

To be precise, it is in the space of hope.

But there is no memory of earlier times.

It can now sense earlier memories...on Ersh.

Originally, its ancestors lived on Ersh. At that time, Ersh had not traveled much, and they didn’t even know... that Ersh was a creature.

But suddenly at some point, they suddenly arrived in the space of hope, and had the memory that Ersh had traveled to the end and asked them to come here to explore.

It can be said that their memories suddenly jumped a large section, and they have no idea what happened in between.

Then, there are the memories of the ancestors exploring the space of hope.

Because it sensed its earliest memories in this cave, it has been studying here and later discovered a lot of information.

The cave feels a bit like a repository of fragmented memories.

You can feel a lot of different biological memories here. In addition to the Ershi people, there are also many other creatures'...memory data.

This includes some bus-like creatures.

However, their memories are just fragments of life in certain places and do not have much significance.

But it still sensed some...useful information.

For example, Ersh’s own memory information.

It could also feel some of Ersh's intermittent memories here.

Ersh felt that after arriving here... he would die.

Then these Ershi people will live on it for a long time, and finally it will have the possibility of "resurrection" until the arrival of a creature.

This creature is Lin.

Although in Ersh's memory, Lin is not the current Veronica, but there is a special... feeling.

The feeling it had when it saw Lin in Ersh's memory was the same feeling it had when it saw Veronica now.

So it concluded that Veronica was the creature that Ersh had been waiting for, and that's why it told Lin these things.

However, it doesn't know any more.

What on earth is going on with this Ersh...it's totally unclear.

Because there is no more information in that cave, only a very small amount of memory.

Later, it used the submarine again to try to explore deeper, but found many strange objects at deeper depths.

These things are pretty dangerous.

This forced it to stop exploring and return to its original location.

It seems that this 'Ershi' is a very interesting place.

Lin also decided to explore under the lava to see what was going on here.

Lin also told Ersh, who was traveling, about the situation here.

It was also surprised by this place... and it seemed to have recalled some new memories.

Maybe this place... was also created by it a long time ago.
