You tell me, this is called daily youth?

If humans with subjective consciousness are like this, let alone these killing machines.

Yuki bowed slightly and walked past the gleaming insect blade. The samurai insect behind him was stunned for a moment, then started to execute the search command again.

Turning into the main street, the swarm of insects surged across the road like a tide, filling up the sewers and even overflowing.

They couldn't find it, they couldn't find it at all. There was even a bug running by, who stopped to look at Yuki who was "helping", and continued to command his subordinates to complete the task.

It knew Liuguna.

Yuki's pace did not change at all, but he felt relieved in his heart. These high-level insects were intelligent, and reputation alone was not enough, but with the Fool's Mask, they would not doubt.

As for the real Liuguna, no one knows whether he is dead or alive, but he will definitely not appear here.

The city is in chaos now, with countless bugs searching carefully from the inside out. Even if the players turn into ants, they must be found. The queen personally takes action to micro-manipulate and intercept, and will never let Levi and others return to the wall.

Just fishing in troubled waters.

Yuki's psychological quality was too good. He really transformed into the blood demon Liuguna and went against the tide of insects. While their attention was focused on the outskirts of the city, he found a place to jump directly into the wall.

The feet landed on the soft fungal carpet, and the granulations grew a lot. They slowly brushed across the body, and the slippery feeling was nauseating, but this detection had no effect on the player. A few warrior bugs running past took a look and continued their mission.

This is a 'friendly force', the Queen has not given the order to attack, so why bother with it.

That's right, I'm here to help find the spy.

Yuki grinned slightly, hurried into the alley, climbed up the tall building like a gecko, and then stretched his head out to look around.

The bat dragon passed by close to the top of the head, focusing its frantic gaze on it, and then left after confirming its reputation. At least in its eyes, this was a friendly army that was very good at searching.

Low and medium level bugs are not a threat, but high level bugs will find me suspicious.

Yuki knew that he couldn't hide for too long, so he hurried to check the terrain. He saw that there were densely packed high-rise buildings all around him, and their surfaces were covered with thick fleshy granulations, each of which was more than ten meters long, like a swaying forest.

They are interconnected, becoming denser and denser as you go inside, until it becomes a pitch-black hole, like a ball of wool.

These buildings are not simple.

Yuuki stayed on the upper floor and looked inside, and could see that there were still souls inside after the swarm of insects left.

Live?

Dozens of tall buildings formed a defensive array, and together the city was a huge fortress.

He made note of this and jumped onto the roof of the next tall building. With a squeaking sound, the swarm of insects outside the wall began to flow back.

Time was running out. The swarm couldn't find the attackers, and couldn't catch up with Levi and the others who had escaped. They were ready to return to normal. When they came back, there would be no chance to search slowly.

Where is the core?

His red eyes scanned around, and everything he saw was similar. The demon vision was useless as it was completely blocked by the tall buildings and flesh granulations. Soon, his eyes locked onto several main roads.

Dozens of scarlet-covered insects were moving along the road. As they walked, the membranes on their bodies fell off, revealing their black shells. The membranes looked very much like the amniotic fluid left over when a baby is born.

Following the path upwards, Yuuki's eyelids twitched, and he stuck the "Loyal Guardian" badge on the fungal blanket, then flew away in a shadow.

Shuttled between the swinging flesh buds, the distance of each step remained constant. Yuki felt as if he had plunged into a dense forest where there was no sunlight at all. It was difficult to even tell the direction. In the end, there was no light at all. In this situation, no one dared to illuminate.

150 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, turn southeast 100 degrees, 200 meters, meters...

He counted silently in his mind. Those moving soul flames were the best beacons. Yuki ran past them and could feel the constant gazes cast at him. Then these pearl-like soul flames became denser and denser, and the soft touch under his feet became hard.

Click.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, Yuki suddenly stopped, bent down, picked up something and stroked it in his hand, his expression becoming more and more surprised.

Human skull?

This was the first time he saw a skull in the city, and as he felt the skull in his hands, he built a model in his mind.

There was a two-centimeter round hole between the eyebrows in the skull of an adult male. The cut was smooth, and it must have been pierced directly by something. His eyes jumped, and he picked up another one to feel around, but the result was the same.

The killing cannot be so accurate. It should be penetrated directly without any resistance. Is this brain sucking?

The question is, it is known that the Zerg does not eat humans, and its energy core is emerald stone, so why would it suck brains?

There was no mention of this in the Defense Force's research materials, and Yuki was not an entomologist. Just as he was about to move forward, a male voice that sounded like an electronic synthesized sound rang out.

"You shouldn't be here, Synergist."

The blood in his body froze in an instant, and every hair stood on end. Yuki subconsciously exerted force and crushed the skull.

I've been discovered. Is "Cooperator" the Zerg's term for players? And players who choose Lurker status are indeed barred from entering this wall.

Yuuki's monstrous physical fitness made his heartbeat quickly calm down. He knew that being exposed at this time would mean death. At least from the address, the visitor did not discover his identity.

His brain was working at a rapid speed, and Yuki's expression became one of fear and forced elegance.

"I am full of curiosity about the great life."

"If you are truly curious, then demonstrate your value and embrace the supreme blessing." The male voice sounded again, accompanied by a blooming ball of light, finally illuminating the surroundings.

Yuki's pupils shrank as the light shone, his eyes changed from confusion to surprise, and finally to fanaticism and excitement, mixed with a hint of regret.

This is a park or a square. In any case, everywhere he looked was covered with skulls, so densely packed that it reminded him of the Skull Mountain in "Blood Disaster". The difference was that there was no "preservation" technology here, and most of the skulls were full of age.

Each skull has a round hole between the eyebrows, and the size and position are all the same. It is definitely not the result of a battle.

Densely packed insects stood on the skull, surrounding a 'man' with a strong build, dark skin, and snake-like dreadlocks. Yuki was afraid that he would start rapping the next moment.

The worm, Aldridge.

Except for the puppet insects, the defense force's data has given names to the advanced insect swarms, but of course they themselves have no names.

This is a real high-level Zerg. After the command sent one away, there are still two left.

Aldridge was also looking at Yuuki, and perhaps because the latter's eyes were very familiar to him, he lowered his raised hand.

Luckily, he knew Liuguna.

Yuki marveled at his own cleverness. If his eyes had been wrong just now, he would have been doomed. Only he could do such a thing.

Just because you've fought once doesn't mean you're familiar with him, and you can't pretend to be one no matter what. Only if you're familiar with the Blood Demon's personality can you act like one convincingly.

The excitement comes from the desire to kill, but the regret is that demons like to eat people and don't like to gnaw bones.

"Didn't you go to the north to reinforce? Why are you back so soon?"

Staring at by thousands of insects, Yuuki concealed his nervousness with grace, bowing gently and saying, "You know we have many strange abilities. I happened to encounter the chaos in the insect nest and realized that one of our kind had intruded. For the Queen's safety, I wanted to do my part. Of course, I'm also a little curious."

The Zerg didn't know that the main mission of the Lurker didn't include protecting the Queen, and Yuki's reason was pretty reasonable. The players are always the best at dealing with them.

"So did you find it?"

"No, but I guess they have some skills to reduce their presence, so they can sneak in silently."

The insect was stunned for a moment. Every insect's highest mission is to protect the queen, so of course it would be interested.

“What is a diminished sense of presence?”

"It's very simple. It's different from being invisible in the physical sense. It's about separating yourself from this world..." Yuki decisively 'betrayed' the senior. The theory of youth syndrome sounds very mysterious. He is better at changing the subject and weakening his presence.

The insect believed it, it was true, and it had no choice but to believe it, and then its breath became anxious.

A race with a honeycomb structure cannot tolerate any threat to its own brain, but all their evolution has been unable to deal with this so-called "sense of existence".

This time the bomb was placed in the city, can it be placed directly next to the Queen next time?

"Can you spot her?"

"No, this requires very special power, but I can think of other ways." Yuki gave an elegant and cunning smile.

"What direction?"

"Her teammates, their presence is something that's harder to shed the more familiar someone is. I have an ability that allows me to take over their bodies. If I set a trap, I might be able to catch her."

Yuki started talking nonsense, as if he was killing himself, but the method was real because the team members were very familiar with each other and occasionally they would think about why there was one person missing around them.

interesting.

The general bug has a very high IQ and of course knows that this method is feasible. However, it does not know that Sakurajima Mai's characteristics cannot be used for direct attacks. The stronger and more specific the target, the higher the probability of being discovered.

It simply felt threatened, a threat that urgently needed to be addressed.

"Her teammates have already reunited with the humans and will soon be out of their control."

Yuki was overjoyed, as he now had no worries at all, but he looked embarrassed.

"Then we can only do it within the wall. I need support."

"Okay, this person must die. It's best to bring back the body. If you do a good job, I will give you a higher level of blessing." The general was very decisive. With the biological information, he would not have to be afraid of similar alien visitors in the future.

The blessing is military merit, and the external manifestation is Saito's insect armor.

Yuki figured out another problem, his eyes became excited, he bowed and slowly backed away until he was stopped by a ethereal female voice.

"and many more."

Before he could react, a strong sense of oppression came from the darkness, causing his heartbeat to speed up slightly. He turned his head and saw a blurry figure.

Queen?

Without any command, the swarm of insects retreated to both sides like the sea, leaving only the insects with independent thinking guarding the front. Yuki couldn't see the appearance of the shadow clearly, but could only make out that the shadow was about two meters tall, with a slender figure, and the ethereal voice was extremely pleasant.

Could she be some beautiful girl?

A cheesy idea came to Yuki's mind, but his heart was as cold as steel. If there weren't so many bugs watching him, he would only have the desire to draw his sword.

Along with the feeling of being scrutinized, a poisonous snake stretched out from the darkness. Yuki didn't know what it was doing, but he knew that if he dared to move, he would be killed today.

So he maintained a respectful posture and saw the 'poisonous snake' slowly come to him and gently lick his face.

It was wet and rough, much like a cat's lick, but Yuuki knew that this could break through the disguise of any Chaos item, at least items before level 6 were out of the question.

But I am a real lurker.

Yuki was relieved. Players have all kinds of strange skills and props to fool people, but these things will never be as good as the rules of the reincarnation game.

This rule is determined when you choose your identity before the copy begins and cannot be changed.

"Go ahead and bring her back."

In the silence, the ethereal female voice sounded again. Yuki did not look as if he had been pardoned, but instead was full of pride.

In the dim light, the swarm of insects gathered in the tens of thousands, densely packed like a black tide, but when Yuki approached, they retreated in an orderly manner, just like Moses parting the sea.

Yuuki had an elegant smile on his face, but his heart was full of strangeness.

There was a uniform salute from humans in front, and a personal reception from the Zerg Queen behind.

Am I loyal or treacherous?

......

After all these tricks, Yuki began to doubt his life. The queen hid in the shadows and watched his back as he walked away.

"Is he okay?" Jiang Chong asked. Although she was called the 'Queen', she didn't have the inefficiency of using etiquette to express class like humans.

"He is indeed a lurker. I can't be fooled by that."

"But he shouldn't be here."

"Aliens are always full of curiosity. It's okay. By using them, I can continue to evolve and eventually connect with my mother." The Queen's voice was tinged with distress as she swept over the densely packed offspring.

"I don't know what this box is, but it cuts off my connection with my mother. Only by constantly evolving can I return to my hometown. This is what the saint told me. I really want to see him again."

An invisible spiritual wave unfolded, and all the insects showed respect. This "saint" had a very high status in the tribe.

Jiang Chong was speechless. This was not an area he could get involved in. He only asked, "So, do we need to move? This place has been discovered."

"This war was too long. They finally exhausted all their efforts to gather all the souls together. Do you think that this will cut off my path to evolution?"

The ethereal female voice became cheerful, as if she had spent a lot of time formulating a very detailed and extensive plan.

"They lit the fire, but they still can't escape the consequences of destruction. Do you think they will just sit there and wait for death?"

"No, humans will only struggle desperately until the very last moment, and then self-righteously seek to turn defeat into victory." Another general insect walked out of the darkness and said in an old male voice: "In your plan, they only have one way to turn defeat into victory—"

There was silence in the dark space for a moment until an ethereal female voice sounded.

"I'll wait for them to come after I've arranged the legacy left by the saint."

Chapter 29: The Devil, Akaza

Moisturize, moisten now, moisten immediately.

Yuki accepted the mission and walked out of the red wall. Now he was prompted that there were 3 hours left, which was enough for him to return to the Wall of Sighs.
