Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 272 Two Wills
Under the leadership of the captain of the guard, they passed through an intricate labyrinth, followed the signs that were not obvious along the way, and arrived at the holy place that the believers said.

Song Lan had to be thankful that they met the captain of the believers' guard, otherwise, if he and Lu Xiang were to find it by themselves, they might not be able to find the exit of the maze until tomorrow day.

He guessed that Andrew, who broke into the cave at that time, should have just turned around the outermost circle, and returned immediately after getting the news of "mother's nest" from the mural.

The holy place is located in an empty place deep in the pit. Believers built wooden houses here. The candle lights on the top of the wooden roof illuminate the whole holy place. At the bottom of the holy place is a weird pool, in which there are people A mutant biological egg more than one meter high.

Many believers walked by these giant eggs, and they put their ears on the eggshells from time to time, listening to the movement inside.

"What are they doing?"

Song Lan asked curiously. He guessed that the flying mutated creatures mentioned by Dr. Oleg were hatched from these eggs.

"Checking the degree of hatching." The captain of the guard explained, "The high priest said that the old gods had sent a decree to move all the offspring that were about to hatch to the entrance of the cave, and let them welcome the new life."

Hello High Priest!

It turns out that you sent the unhatched dragon to the face of the Marine!

He had wondered why the wild devourers inhabited the deepest part of the pit, but they could lay their eggs at the entrance of the pit every night, and it was all sent out by the believers.

We don't seem to know much about what's going on in the pit. If we were told that the eggs that we worked so hard to remove from the entrance of the cave every night were first burned to the ground by Dr. Oleg's brigade, we would know how we would feel.

Song Lan can only lament that countless coincidences have created the current situation, and we are undoubtedly lucky, neither having the opportunity to recruit an experienced medical team, and arriving after the wild Devourer is about to break out of its cocoon. That outside.

If it was a few days later and the Devourer hatched, Oleg and the others might be in danger.

But it is obvious that the little priest did not seem to welcome us. From the moment the two of them retreated to reveal their identities, the hunchbacked old man with white hair kept a straight face. To conceal his vigilance and disgust towards Song Lan and others.

Song Lan realized very slowly that it also represented the will of the Devourer to some extent.

According to the captain of the guard, the little priest had been baptized by the "mother's nest", and what I described was the process of assimilation between the Devourer and the individual.

"You welcome him."

Before the captain of the guard left, the little priest said enthusiastically, "You know about the mechanical bug swarm, and you also want to communicate with them."

Song Lan didn't pay attention to the other party's good attitude, and instead asked, "He should be vague about the consequences of moving the egg to the entrance of the cave. Why did he do that?"

I don't think there's anything subtle about that.

The least characteristic of the Devourer is not the consciousness of the swarm, whether the decision is in the will of the little priest himself or the Devourer, we must know that all the eggs that were not moved to the door were destroyed.

"Because that can delay the regression of transformation."

Although he said that he was willing to communicate with us, the little priest answered Song Lan's question with practical actions.

"Delaying the transformation's regression...doesn't it do him any good?"

That answer was beyond the two people's expectations. In our cognition, there must be no restrictions on the conditions of the inner world. The Devourer will follow the instinct to degenerate and spread endlessly. However, a wild Devourer knows how to restrain itself from degenerating. desire.

"There are no enemies inside, are you ready yet?"

The little priest's tone changed slightly. Song Lan, who hadn't done much research on the Devourer, immediately realized that it was a wild Devourer connected to my mind.

It seems that under the problem of communicating with the mechanical bug swarm, the little priests had different opinions as individuals and collectively, but in the end I had to go against the mother's will.

"The enemy? Does he mean this medical team?"

Song Lan was even more confused. Even though Oleg stole the "Commander IV" equipped with heavy firepower, behind the Devourer, the skeletal armor of the mere combat models was enough. It only needed Storing a wave of mutated creatures outside the pit, they all need to come forward, which is enough to wipe out all Dr. Oleg's brigade.

"It is us, your enemies, who live in the world."

"Then he made this queer moon?"

Min Xiang immediately realized the meaning of the other party's words, and asked, until now I have also figured out the principle of this strange moon, and before I saw the holy place of the believers, I felt more and more that the two belonged to the same species.

There are not two devourers in that big town!
Or a Devourer, and a mysterious species we've never seen before.

"The moon is the enemy, it is interfering with your thinking, it is waiting for your transformation to complete!"

Before the words fell, the tone of the little priest changed again, and my eyes were bloodshot, "Did you tell them? You want to communicate with them, and you want to stay out of their own business!"

After finishing speaking, I threw the crutch aside, scratched my forehead with both hands frantically, embedded my nails into the skin with such force, and forcibly tore off the flesh.

The following words are understandable, the little priest has completely fallen into a state of confusion, the last words are the first words, as if two identical wills are fighting for the control of my body.

"To...doubt...the moon...it's eroding..."

"Get out, get out, they are welcome there!"

That was the first time Song Lan saw that no one could resist the mother's will. From what he saw, it seemed that there was no other kind of will vying for the little priest's control.

"Xiaojia, calm down first."

In order to prevent the little priest from directly tearing herself alive, Song Lan quickly said, "To save face, let's sit down and talk."

However, that time, the two sides didn't have any suggestion from me. Before the consciousness competition in the body turned white cold, suddenly a white arm pierced through the dome and the building, and pressed towards the little priest.

But before touching the skeletal armor under Song Lan's body, the pitch-white arm retracted as if electrocuted.

The little priest who fell into madness stopped, and my head was held out of Song Lan's other arm with bone armor, and my pupils exuding a fine white air were forced to look at Song Lan.

At this moment, my face is covered with blood, and my skull can be directly seen from the wound, which makes me suspicious of a zombie at this moment. If I were replaced by a special person who has not been weakened by the Devourer, I am afraid that I will die at this moment.

The two just looked at each other.

The room fell into a deadly silence.

"No fun, no fun!"

After a while, the little priest suddenly grinned. Against my face covered in blood and wounds, that smile looked creepy.

——"Come and find you, you wait for them!"
