After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl

035 seemed to be in a bad mood and spoke more bluntly.

But she didn't name anyone.

Xia Yue didn't know who was lowering the average, so she didn't get angry.

"I'm telling you, it doesn't matter what she is. Your goal from the beginning has been to resolve the rumors. Whether Xia Ke is an alien or a human, now that we know she's involved, that's it. The rest of your actions should focus on how to debunk these rumors. When the real story is about to be put to rest, no matter who Miss Xia is, she'll definitely reveal herself."

When everyone nodded silently, 035 said something again.

"Oh, by the way, I already know what she is."

"Damn it, why didn't you just say that?"

Li Muhan was speechless.

Chapter 507 Blackmail Beast

It was recorded in the Mysteries.

"In the wilderness of the southwest, a false beast appears. It looks like a dodder, has a human face and can speak, and often deceives others. It speaks east and west, evil and good. Its meat is delicious. If you eat it, your words will not be true."

And this so-called blackmail beast.

That is the instigator of this incident.

The False Beasts are not ferocious beasts and have low abilities, but they are eloquent and like to mislead people with lies.

For their clan, lying can be said to be a natural instinct, which is what it means to lie by nature.

But there is also a saying that the blackmail beasts themselves are very weak. They are good at deceiving those powerful aliens and letting the aliens fight with each other, so that they can ensure that they can keep some room in the middle.

This is a kind of alien that attaches great importance to territory and territory. Because its meat is very delicious, it has been hunted by other aliens and even humans.

In recent years, it has almost disappeared.

When the staff of the Archives Management Section handed the most inconspicuous stack of thin documents to Li Muhan, he added: "Other than lying, this thing has no other harm, and it does not constitute a containment condition."

Li Muhan looked at this brief file. There was not even a named blackmail beast recorded in it, but only a brief explanation of his clan's affairs.

And it was obvious that the archivist was slacking off.

Most of them are directly adapted from the original texts of Shen Yi Ji and Shan Hai Jing.

It can also be seen from the side that at least when this file was classified, the impact of the blackmail beast on the world was minimal.

Moriarty told 035 that Xia Ke's body has been taken over by the blackmail beast.

But unlike the fusion between her and Tai Sui, the black beast directly took Xia Ke's body. One of the black beast's abilities is to spread rumors in human skin. This is the innate ability of their clan.

In other words, Xia Ke is dead now, and the thing that is still talking is just a blackmail beast in human skin.

When she heard the news, Xia Yue was stunned.

She didn't expect that her sister-in-law had been killed.

At this moment, she seemed to feel the same feeling when her adoptive parents died, but now she didn't have to bear it alone, so she hugged Li Muhan tightly without saying a word.

All the pain was expressed in this way.

Li Muhan comforted Xia Yue for a while, and finally made sure that she had calmed down a bit before going to the archives to retrieve the relevant information about the blackmail beast.

"Let's go report to Director Lin first."

After Li Muhan said this, the girl from the Archives Management Department smiled and gave him a suggestion.

"Captain Li, you're a celebrity now, after all. I know you have a special relationship with Director Lin, but since this matter hasn't been resolved yet, you don't need to report every little thing to her."

This is indeed good advice.

Only then did Li Muhan realize that he seemed to be a little too lacking in opinion.

From the day Lin Ze brought him into the Special Administration Bureau, he seemed to be a little too dependent on Lin Ze.

But in fact, Lin Ze usually wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

Therefore, the archivist reminded Li Muhan that he also hoped that the other party would use his brain more in everything and not go to the leader when things progressed and he needed to make a decision or make up his mind.

After thanking the archivist, Li Muhan returned to the seventh team's office.

Su Xue had put on her suit again, Lin Ziyu was also busy in front of the computer, and Yin Qi was playing with her phone with her head down as always.

"The people from the execution force took away 035 just now. They said that 035 must now be under strict control every day, so he can no longer follow up on this matter with us."

Su Xue said to Li Muhan.

Li Muhan nodded.

Seeing that Xia Yue was listless next to Li Muhan, Su Xue probably guessed something.

But she didn't rush to comfort him. She knew that any comfort that couldn't be put into someone else's shoes would sometimes cause secondary harm to others.

"Although the source of 035's intelligence is unknown, we can only go down this path now."

Li Muhan put the blackmail beast's file on his desk, and at this time Lin Ziyu turned his chair and said something to them.

"I just posted a help thread on the Huaxia Special Management Bureau's internal forum regarding the Black Beast. Mengmeng from Team Six said she knows how to deal with this anomaly."

Internal forum?

Is there such a thing?

Li Muhan couldn't help but sigh, this Special Administration Bureau can always bring him some new tricks.

But now that Mengmeng knows about the blackmail beast, it will be easier to handle.

So ten minutes later, Mengmeng came to the office of Team 7. As soon as she entered, she found that something was wrong with the atmosphere, especially Xia Yue, who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, as if she had been hit by something.

But Mengmeng was more sensible, so she didn't ask any more questions. After all, she came here because of work, and she also got Lu Mang's permission to temporarily support the seventh team.

"One of the reasons for spreading rumors is survival." Mengmeng stood at the table like a teacher and explained the ecology of the blackmail beast to others.

"But there is another reason, that is, this kind of alien can gain power from the rumors they spread. The more people believe in its rumors, the stronger its power will be, and the stronger it is, it can also do the opposite. Manipulate the minds of those who have heard its rumors and make them give up thinking and become slaves of the rumors.”

"If that's the case, the Black Beast should be a very threatening alien species. Why do I see that the file says...Chaos level?"

Regarding Lin Ziyu's question, Mengmeng couldn't give a good explanation: "I, I don't know... I just entered the dream of a blackmail beast when I was sleeping hundreds of years ago. It’s boring, just playing in her dreams.”

Upon hearing that Mengmeng still had such a side, several people couldn't help laughing, which made Mengmeng blush a little.

"Of course, it was really boring at the time. Humans or aliens in that era had very simple minds... But that blackmail beast, she was in pain. In her dream, she begged me to talk to her, and I I was very curious as to why she would talk to a nightmare, and I warned her, I said...you can't lie to me, I'm very smart!"

Mengmeng imitated the tone at that time, and when she saw everyone almost laughing again, she quickly coughed a few times and knocked on the table like a real teacher.

"Ahem... everyone, listen carefully... Then she told me that she didn't want to lie, because lying made her suffer, but if she didn't lie, she wouldn't be able to survive... She also had a child, and her entire tribe had been slaughtered by hunters. To protect herself and her child, she disguised herself as a human and deceived the hunters, causing all the hunters in the village to mistakenly enter the lair of a python demon..."

Speaking of this, Mengmeng seemed to be reminiscing. The appearance of the blackmail beast gradually appeared in her mind, and then a rainbow bubble suddenly popped up from her head.

The bubble floated in front of everyone's eyes, and a scene slowly emerged.

"...What kind of 3D printer are you looking for? 035 is not as advanced as you."

Li Muhan couldn't help but gasped when he saw this thing.

"Recognize it, look carefully! Classmate Li Muhan!"

Mengmeng warned again, and then everyone looked at the bubble.

It seemed to be a dream from hundreds of years ago, and she was wearing an elegant and plain white gauze skirt, which looked unique.

In front of her, the one who had been kneeling on the ground crying was a girl with rabbit ears and white hair.

Chapter 508 File lag

"Is this a blackmail beast?"

Looking at the girl who was crying like a child, Li Muhan asked.

Mengmeng nodded.

"Well... At that time, she was hiding in the mountains to avoid being hunted by hunters. She would usually go down the mountain to steal the villagers' chickens, and then spread rumors that it was a weasel that did it."

"Awesome, does the Weasel have any objection to playing like this?"

Li Muhan's words were originally meant as a joke, but he didn't expect them to hit home.

Mengmeng immediately slapped the table and said.

"Of course, Huang Xian'er is a very famous anomaly in China. His life is much more nourishing than that of a blackmail beast. He will definitely not be happy if he takes the blame for some reason."

Then Mengmeng told everyone.

There really was a thousand-year-old yellow fairy in the deep mountains. She was very powerful and had been protecting the mother and son of the evil beast, preventing the hunters from discovering them.

As a result, the blackmailing beast turned around and threw dirty water on the person, causing Huang Xian's cave to be burned down.

Huang Xian was definitely not going to do that, so he opened the boundary and the mother and son beasts were completely exposed to the hunters' sight.

But the night before the hunters were going to go into the mountains to hunt the two beasts, the beast was dressed in human skin and came to say that the beast was about to escape. So the hunters went into the mountains with torches to hunt them all night, and were finally killed. The evil beast was led into the python demon's lair, and no one survived.

Because of this matter, Huang Xian went to the house of Ershou to argue with him, and finally drove the mother and daughter out of the forest.

"I also visited her dreamland after that. Her mood was much more stable, and she also told me a lot about the Black Beast clan."

For the False Beast clan, spreading lies is like their bounden duty and the meaning of this clan's existence. However, in that era, the speed of information dissemination lagged behind, so even the Tang Dynasty, when the False Beast was the most powerful, did not cause any waves. .

"Everything she told me in the dream was true. She said that in reality she had to spread rumors in order to survive and to protect her children, but in the dream she could say whatever she wanted. , and later, the blackmail beast disappeared... There was no more dreams, and no matter what kind of creature, there should be dreams to follow. If there were no dreams, it meant that she no longer had dreams. Need to dream..."

Having said this, Mengmeng seemed a little disappointed.

Maybe the blackmail beast is not a good thing, but after all, he and she had a heart-to-heart chat in the dream for a while, and the two of them can be considered friends.

Li Muhan took out a photo.

The person in the photo is Xia Ke in a wheelchair. Yin Qi took the photo just now while they were talking to Xia Ke.

As a detective and vitality attacker, Yin Qi has always been able to record important information that everyone has forgotten. This is also her talent.

Li Muhan put the photo on the table and said to Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, look at this photo. Can you tell if this blackmail beast is your friend from this photo?"

Mengmeng observed carefully and shook her head: "It's hard to identify based on photos alone, and she should be dead and gone hundreds of years ago."

"I probably know why this blackmail beast is so powerful."

Li Muhan put away the photo and turned to Lin Ziyu: "I probably know why this blackmail beast is so powerful."

Lin Ziyu was stunned and almost dropped the melon seeds in his hand: "Captain, why are you looking at me?"

"What I'm looking at is not you, but the computer behind you. This is the reason why the Black Beast is so powerful."

Li Muhan went directly over and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, cracking them while explaining to the others.

"Actually, it's really simple. In the past, the blackmail beasts were very weak because the channels of communication were too narrow. Unless the emperor decreed from heaven, it would be difficult to trigger a discussion on a large scale. But it's different now. There is a computer and the Internet. A message can be spread across the country and around the world in a matter of minutes.”

When Li Muhan said this, others also reacted.

"That's it." Su Xue said as she picked up the Blackmail Beast's file.

"This file was filed in the 90s. At that time, basic network information had not spread to thousands of households, so the blackmail beasts were classified as small aliens at the chaos level."

"Yes." Li Muhan nodded, and then gave some melon seeds to Yin Qi and Su Xue. The two were not polite and started discussing while eating melon seeds.

"Sitting behind the computer, she can rely on her heterogeneous characteristics to collect the spread of rumors. As long as someone reads it, someone will believe it. As long as someone believes it, her power will become stronger, and after becoming stronger, she will She will use her power to make more people believe the rumors she spreads."

"Yeah, that is to say..." Mengmeng cautiously stretched out her hand to get some melon seeds. Li Muhan grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her hand. Mengmeng was a little flattered, but she still tried to stay calm: " In other words... the current alien level of the Black Beast has far exceeded what is recorded in the archives..."

"Mengmeng."

Su Xue interrupted Mengmeng, who was so scared that Mengmeng almost dropped the melon seeds in her hand to the ground.

"I-I'm here!"

"You told Lin Ziyu before that you understand the characteristics of the blackmail beast, so you should also know how to neutralize her power."

Mengmeng's fingers gently rubbed the melon seeds in her hand, and her eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "The reason why this blackmail beast is powerful, just like what Li Muhan said just now, is because they can use human curiosity and fear to weave fascinating stories. In ancient times, they spread rumors by word of mouth, but in modern times, they have taken advantage of the convenience of the Internet to increase the speed and scope of rumors exponentially.”

"To neutralize the power of the false beast, the first thing we need to do is to cut off the chain of transmission of rumors." Mengmeng continued, "This means that we need to find out the source of the rumors and refute these rumors with facts and truth. The false beast Although they are good at lying, they also have a fatal weakness - they cannot bear the revelation of the truth, and their power will be greatly weakened."
