Alien Executioner

"I'm glad that you and that beast are enemies. This has temporarily stopped me from devouring you."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Anyone could hear the chill in it. Naya didn't consider them as friends at all. She was here only because of the call of the worm. To her, Wang Feng and Gu Simiao were just food.

She was far scarier than an octopus. It took her only a few minutes to kill the guy who had just caused them pain. The whole process was as simple as a cat catching fish in a basin. She was obviously a girl. If it weren't for those eyes, she would have looked like a gentle girl. This strength was completely incompatible with her body.

If Naya were allowed to harbor murderous intent, the two would have no chance of survival. But even so, Gu Simiao still took a step forward.

"Give my regards to your sister, and thank you for saving us."

Across the ten-meter distance between them, Gu Simiao's voice was light and emotionless.

As the former head of the Operations Department, he was an old acquaintance of the current Director General An Xin. In a sense, he was friends with An Ran, even though the top director was still studying at Atlanta College when he went to District 9.

Gu Simiao's words implied that he knew his sister, and his sister's friends were his friends. When Anya came through the mirror, his sister had told him not to hurt the former section chief, but not Wang Feng.

She nodded slightly, expressionless. In the past, Naya was a three-no girl.

"It's good that you know who I am," she said. "My sister wants to catch up with you, but before that, I'm curious about something."

"I'm happy to answer you." Gu Simiao answered respectfully.

"Why did my worm come to save you?" she asked. "You said you escaped from the experimental center in Zilan City. Mr. V was Dr. Cat, Weihausen's assistant back then, and Xu Sinuo's father. You chased him to District 9, and after many years, you came back when you were supposed to be dead. You exposed Dr. Cat's conspiracy, but you were chased and fled here."

Anya paused for a moment, and when she pulled the two people up, Gu Simiao quickly and clearly told what had happened.

"I have to admit that this is an interesting explanation. At least it's perfect, because you appeared in front of me alive, which means that Gu Simiao really still exists. So I am even more curious about how you attracted the worms."

The reason why Anya knew that Gu Simiao threw something into the water and attracted the appearance of the worms was because she got the memory of the worms in return.

After being split, the second worm drilled into the Anting Lake in Huacheng and has been hiding there until now.

During this period, the whistling interference method was used to confuse the reason and thinking of some people, and control them to come to the lake to "pay tribute" in order to obtain the necessary nutrients.

The so-called nutrients are mostly animal corpses, which it constantly feeds on to allow its body to grow further.

The worm has an incomprehensible consciousness and intelligence. It knows how to keep a low profile and avoid the executive officers. It rarely emerges from the lake, so much so that even the artificial intelligence Zero, known as the "Eye in the Sky", was unable to detect it.

And just before that, it was sleeping soundly in Anting Lake, but suddenly it smelled a "familiar" breath in the distance and quickly "drilled" over.

The memory fed back by the worm did not express what the so-called familiar smell was, and the process of "drilling" into the deep river was also extremely vague.

Anyway, it came to the deep river, saw the two people and the big octopus falling into the water, and decisively rescued them and avoided being chased.

This is the cause and effect.

Anya cares a lot about worms, and she cares even more about what attracts worms.

Her eyes swept over Gu Simiao, and the faint blood-red warning him to answer truthfully.

"A bottle of powder." Gu Simiao gestured with his hands to show its approximate shape and size.

"Powder in a jar..." Anya murmured. She remembered that when she was chasing a warhorse, she inhaled a bottle of powder and turned into a terrifying Deep River Monster. That was the third form that was far superior to Naya's second form.

At that time, I was completely lost in a state of emptiness, and when I woke up, I was only in my sister's arms.

"I know what you are thinking, Miss An Ran." Gu Simiao took out a photo that had been soaked for a long time from his pocket.

Anya's tentacles quickly bit the photo and presented it to her eyes. The photo had been folded at least three times, and when it was opened, a familiar woman was inside.

"Xu Yanqian..."

"It seems that you are very familiar with her, so I don't need to introduce her in detail." Gu Simiao answered lightly. He knew that when facing this powerful monster, he had to show the same strong appearance, because monsters never dance with cowards.

"This photo may prove that I know her, or at least have met her. She gave me my powder can, and she also saved me in District 9."

"She saved you? If you calculate the time, she was still in District 3 at that time."

"As the manager of a flower shop?" Gu Simiao did not deny it. "Yes, you are very familiar with her and you have been keeping an eye on her movements in the early days, but she is not an ordinary woman. She is also a monster. She can always do some things."

"Indeed." An Ran agreed with this statement.

She did not pursue Gu Simiao's story, nor did she care about the former head of the operations department. Everything about him was mysterious, and the news that he was alive was enough to shock the whole world. However, this was her sister's concern, and the only person who should meet and talk to him was her sister.

She believed that this man was full of stories, but no matter how many stories he had, they could not compare to her experience with Xu Yanqian.

“What’s in the jar?” That’s the point.

"I don't know. I know you're eager to investigate, and I also know the story of the Deep River Monster." Gu Simiao shook his head, "But when I got this thing, the woman didn't tell me. She just said that if you disperse it at a critical moment, it will attract the monster. If you're unlucky, you'll be eaten by the so-called monster. If you're lucky, you'll get help."

He gave a triumphant gambler's smile, pulled a coin from his pocket, and played with it between his fingers.

"Obviously I am the latter. I was just taking a gamble, but I made the right bet. I was going to die anyway, so I had to give it a try."

The two talked under the cover of night, and Wang Feng's voice could not be heard from beginning to end. It turned out that he was completely tied up by tentacles, and even his mouth was blocked, so he could not make any sound.

When feedbacking the memory, the worm spent a lot of time complaining about Wang Feng's nagging, so Anya had to calm it down.

Chapter 425: Shadow of the Worm (V)

Anya is concerned about the powder that can make her go berserk and attract worms.

She didn't know Gu Simiao, the former section chief, and couldn't be completely sure whether what he said was true.

But once it was related to Xu Yanqian, it seemed very reasonable, and there was a vague feeling that all this was the work of that woman.

She stared at the photo for a long time. It was the image of Xu Yanqian lowering her head to light a cigarette, and it was captured in an instant.

It turns out this woman also smokes.

Anya recalled that she remembered Xu Yanqian did not have the habit of smoking and she had never seen her smoking.

But the photo was real. The woman was undoubtedly Xu Yanqian, his aunt, a half-shang alien.

Suddenly, she realized that perhaps all these events were related to Xu Yanqian, and she was the one who was directing everything from the beginning to the end.

But there is no actual evidence for this.

She raised her head and continued to look at Gu Simiao, "You have been investigating Mr. V's whereabouts for so many years?"

"That's right." Gu Simiao tried his best to act like an outsider. "I have been looking for him since I came out of District 9. He stole the Fallen Angel's Sorrow that originally belonged to me and implanted it into his daughter's body."

If Mr. V is really the Dr. Cat of that year, then Xu Sinuo is his daughter.

This also explains why the girl has the aura of Devouring Sorrow.

The truth was pieced together one by one. Mr. V had been deceiving himself from the beginning to the end, but he was also Bagshas's servant. And according to Gu Simiao's statement about what he heard in the laboratory, everything Dr. Cat did was guided by Bagshas.

Anya couldn't figure it out for a moment, it was too confusing, she didn't even know which one was the traitor.

In a sense, the harmless Bagshas was indeed helping himself. If Gu Simiao heard correctly, Mr. V was only serving Bagshas, ​​then Bagshas's real purpose was to kill the Sorrowful Octopus.

But this is just a guess.

After several months, Anya realized clearly that most of the people pretending to be "behind the scenes" could not be trusted.

Among them is Li Yun. Compared with Gu Simiao and Mr. V, he and Wang Feng were more like people who just grasped a little bit of "inside" secrets and thought they could control the overall situation, but they did not expect that they were just pawns from beginning to end.

What's more, Li Yun was also dead, but Anya knew nothing about it.

She glanced at Wang Feng casually, with a rare look of regret in her eyes.

"Minister Wang, I originally thought that we were best friends. Over the years, I have been supporting the Research Department and trying my best to remove obstacles and allocate more resources to your department. But I am very disappointed with your stupidity."

Without the tentacles blocking him, Wang Feng was finally able to speak. He was silent for a while before he slowly said:

"Director An, you actually guessed me a long time ago."

"I guessed that you were a spy inside Storm, but I didn't expect you to be such a big fish." Anya smiled, holding back the violence that needed to be vented. "I originally wanted Li Fei to play with you, because I think Storm is still a useful organization, and I can use the spy to give them some wrong information to judge, but I didn't expect that you, as a spy, played a pivotal role in these events."

"That's exaggerated." Wang Feng sighed. He knew he was finished.

"I think it must be Li Yun who told you my identity." She casually controlled her tentacles to wander over his body, ready to devour him at any time.

"I can also imagine that after you know this secret, you will try to control the course of events. That would be really interesting. There will always be people who are self-righteous and do not hide their stupidity."

"He has always been like this." Gu Simiao also added.

Faced with the ridicule, Wang Feng didn't even dare to have the slightest thought of anger. He could only close his eyes and wait for the other party's verdict.

In the past few years, An Ran's behavior of providing convenience to the Research Department and favoring the Research Department was obvious to all in the entire FACA. Even the director's direct subordinate, the Intelligence Department, complained and was jealous, and the actions of the Research Department continued to touch his bottom line.

What's more, she is Naya now. When An Ran appeared in front of her as a girl, it meant that she didn't care how many people knew the secret. Apart from the fact that everyone in the world believed it and caused unnecessary trouble, the fact that a few scattered people knew the secret would undoubtedly lead to their death.

However, the girl seemed to be in a good mood. She seemed to have experienced some wonderful things when she came, as if she had encountered some difficulties and setbacks and finally resolved them.

She retracted her tentacles, turned around, and said lightly:

"I believe there are other hidden stories about the deputy minister's betrayal and the freak's rampage that day. Give me a detailed report tomorrow."

Wang Feng was stunned:

"Director, you don't intend to pursue the matter?"

"The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but they are the most useful people." Anya never concealed her monster mentality. "You are worth using. Besides, the sudden disappearance and death of the head of the scientific research department will always have some unnecessary impact."

"Right, right, right. In comparison, it doesn't matter if he is eaten." Wang Feng pointed at his good friend. "Anyway, the former head of the operations department is recognized as dead, and the funeral has been held. I think the director... Oh, no, Master Naya, you are very hungry now, just eat him."

Gu Simiao didn't say anything. He took out a wet cigarette from his arms, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter that had been soaked in water.

He doubted why he became friends with Wang Feng, such a loser.

Anya looked at the former section chief and noticed his nervousness.

Gu Simiao tried his best to control his body from shaking. To be honest, he was not sure whether this monster would eat him. After all, he should not live in this world with his identity. For An Ran, his appearance was an uncertain factor and would bring many changes.

I heard that this monster is sometimes calm and sometimes crazy like a madman, performing incomprehensible behaviors depending on her mood, especially when she is hungry. Coincidentally, she looks quite hungry now.

The most damnable thing was that there was actually some expectation in Wang Feng's eyes, and Gu Simiao cursed in his heart.

"Wang Feng, do you think I'm a lunatic?" Anya said to her former colleague with a cold tone.

Wang Feng realized that he had made a mistake and quickly shut up with an apologetic look.

He remembered that Naya now only eats alien species, and although Gu Simiao could miraculously come back to life, he was still a human being after all.

"You can leave now. Come to FACA early tomorrow." Anya signaled Wang Feng, "Don't be late. At least during this period, your identity as the head of the scientific research department is still useful."

Wang Feng turned around and was about to run away, but suddenly thought of something and turned back.

"Can I come the day after tomorrow? Five 1qi (eight) (eight) O abandoned the tumor①"

"The day after tomorrow?" Anya didn't expect the other party to bargain.

"It's too late now. I'm afraid..." Wang Feng laughed awkwardly, "I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Anya controlled the tentacles to stab forward, and the man fled in panic.

She looked at Gu Simiao again, and there was no respect in her eyes for this unfamiliar former head of the operations department.

"Come back to Huacheng with me. My sister wants to talk to you."

"Will I still be of use after this?" Gu Simiao has a strong desire to survive.

"That's not for me to say." Anya answered with action. She took out a box of cigarettes and then threw the lighter to him.

Gu Simiao was stunned for a moment. This was his first contact with the rumored monster, the current chief director An Ran.

He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, then heard the girl's indifferent voice:

"If Gu Zhilan knew that her father was still alive, she would be very happy."

Chapter 426: Shadow of the Worm (VI)

The shattered underground experimental center was torn apart after two rounds of destruction in a short period of time. Large bodies of monsters floated in the water, and their blood coagulated into blood cells in the water.

It all came down to Wang Feng and Gu Simiao, who opened the second round of self-destruction mechanism while escaping. The entire experiment was destroyed and even the glass of the reservoir was broken. They let go of the octopus that Dr. Cat had carefully cultivated, and led it into the arms of death.

Dr. Cat walked in the water, reached out and grabbed an octopus tentacle that was undulating in the water, and looked at it nostalgically. He had a dead body but was still shrouded in fatigue. This big octopus was extremely important in the plan, but now it was torn to pieces by Naya.

He picked up a few corpses with better qualifications, strolled to the deep corridor, and opened the secret compartment inside that had been unknown to the world.

Entering the secret door, the drainage device of the experimental center began to operate, and the door behind him blocked the water from pouring in. He placed the body on the ground, knelt on the ground, and clasped his hands together devoutly.

Suddenly he thought of something, cut off one of his arms, and calmly set it on fire.

The small space was lit up by a dim firelight, reflecting his tired body and casting an empty shadow on the wall.

Dr. Cat made a pious gesture again, and the mysterious person behind the scenes uttered a rumbling groan:

"There's only one last step left."

I don't know who I'm talking to, maybe I'm just mumbling to myself.

The shadow on the wall gradually spread and expanded.

A breeze passed through this tight space, an invisible presence surged, and something was about to appear.

Dr. Cat raised his head heavily, and the corpse in front of him was once again filled with large silver-gray tentacles. They did not eat the corpse, but continued to drill out of it. These tentacles completely wrapped around the corpse like silk threads, squeezing it out of shape.
