I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 848 844.D17 (Part )

D17 squatted down with a gentle look and raised his hand as if to comfort a frightened animal:
"It's okay, I won't hurt you, just relax...

"Can you tell me what happened here?"

The originally nervous man was stunned for a moment, and looked at it in surprise:
"Like I just said, I opened the door for you. They killed my companions, injected me with poison and imprisoned me here, waiting to kill you before disposing of me.

“Oh, but you can see that they obviously didn’t succeed.

"It seems that except for a few people who escaped, the others were killed by you."

D17 said curiously:
"So you weren't the one dealing with us just now?"

The man said with a cold face:
"Can't you see what I look like now? I've already said that I was imprisoned by them. The ones who dealt with you were the ones who injected me with poison, but most of them died here.

"It seems like a few guys ran away."

D17 nodded slightly:

“Thank you, Lal, for checking on his condition and preparing the antidote for him.

"By the way, do you know how they survived? And how did you survive yourself?"

The clone named Lal came to his side and began to check the situation. The man did not resist and let the clone manipulate his body.

Although he had no strength to resist, it was obvious that he had indeed lost the desire to struggle, otherwise he should at least say a few symbolic swear words.

His expression also eased a lot:

"I know your abilities. I am lucky to be alive. The paralytic they injected me made me lose my senses when you attacked me, so I didn't hear anything you said at that time.

"As for why they haven't all died yet, it has something to do with why I can open the door.

"You did affect my mind, but I was planning on letting you in anyway."

D17 showed a curious look:

"Oh, why is that?"

The man first showed a look of disgust, and then looked at the other companions who died in the process of opening the door with a bit of sadness, as if in his eyes these were two completely different groups.

His voice also dropped slightly:
"They thought I didn't notice, but I had already discovered their invasion. Except for members like me who have advanced anti-parasitic transformation, this place has basically been occupied by mimics.

“They secretly killed or imprisoned all the other senior executives except me, and they also wanted to deceive me that nothing happened and use my authority to help them gain control of the company.

"I also pretended to be stupid and cooperated with them, but tried to delay the time as much as possible. During these days, I was preparing to disrupt their invasion plan.

"Until we started losing contact with other branches.

“I noticed at the time that the problem wasn’t with them because they acted as if something else was also invading the company.

"But I didn't expect it to be you, D17." D17 asked:

"Is that why you're letting us in?"

The man's face turned cold again:

"If I have to choose, you are more suitable than them. At least you have similar thinking to me. Although these mimics are similar to us when they exist independently, to put it bluntly, they are fungi after all.

“Not to mention that they also have the existence of a Supreme Will, which can connect these fungi and build a mental network between them, making them a kind of collective consciousness.

“That’s why they can resist your persuasion. They are not just themselves, but an extremely complex network of consciousness. Although you can directly make them commit suicide, it can also take over control.

“And it’s hard for you to directly cause a particularly severe impact on the Supreme Will.

"Although your ability is non-psychic and can influence most psychics, considering their psychic abilities alone, they will not be able to resist your persuasion without prior preparation.

“And even if you are prepared, it is difficult for them to play against you.

“But some psychic entities have certain properties. These properties are not the strength of psychic abilities, nor are they only possessed by psychics, nor are they possessed by all psychics.

“That is, some creatures may have special consciousness structures and sizes, both of which may affect your abilities. After all, your abilities are essentially created to persuade humans.

"But some consciousnesses have structures that are completely different from human consciousness. In some of the worst cases, communication is something completely different for them, and there may not even be a concept of communication.

“For example, for the Supreme Will, its communication is completely different from ours. Although we say that it has built a mental network, it is not communicating with its own fruiting bodies through the mental network.

“No, it’s not human. To think this is a form of communication is to use human experience to understand it. Although these fruiting bodies appear to exist independently, first of all, the fruiting bodies are not the main body of this fungus.

“The fruiting bodies are their organs, but their true consciousness is outside of the fruiting bodies. Moreover, these fungal consciousnesses themselves are not independent individuals. They are the same overall consciousness as the Supreme Will.

“And it’s not that they constitute the collective consciousness. The more accurate statement is that they are the existence of the entire collective consciousness itself. The term collective consciousness was created more for us humans to understand them.

“What you can really affect is their fruiting bodies, but those are like densely packed tiny tentacles on the body of this giant creature, and they can’t cause any harm to it at all.

"And these fruiting bodies are completely under its control, which means they are a pile of tentacles that it can precisely manipulate, and the damage you can do to them can only hit them."

D17 showed a curious look:
"Even if there is no concept of communication within the Supreme Consciousness, doesn't it have the ability to communicate with me?"

While she was talking, Lal had already taken out a syringe and stabbed the man.

The man's breathing gradually became more stable.

His tone also began to become calmer:
“Of course it can communicate. Most creatures can be influenced by your persuasive ability, even the Supreme Will is no exception. After all, you can see that it is interacting with the outside world.

“Only those life forms that are completely self-enclosed will not be affected by your ability to persuade, but such life forms often do not have the ability to absorb information from the outside world and interact with it.

"They pose no threat to you either."
