The monster continues its story.
After its birth, all the alien invaders were ecstatic, believing that their plan had taken the first and most important step.
In its head, there is an organ that the alien invaders do not have but dream of: a human-like brain.
This is completely different from the alien invaders themselves.
Normal alien invaders also have organs similar to the brain that control the entire body, but compared to humans on Earth, their nervous systems are extremely strange.
This is a nervous system distributed in various parts of their body. If these organs are called brains, then they have brains all over their body, which is equivalent to each part of the body having relatively independent consciousness.
At the same time, their nervous systems will organize all this consciousness in a special way to form a conscious subject.
…
"Octopus?" Xu Xin listened and felt that it sounded familiar. "Isn't this an octopus?"
There are such creatures on Earth.
The octopus's nervous system is very similar to what the monster just said... It is this ridiculous-sounding structure.
At the same time, the octopus itself is also known as the most alien-like creature on Earth.
Even the settings of many of the monsters in the K-series are copied from octopuses.
"Do octopuses also have this structure? How amazing..." Xu Ying exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder they have eyes all over their bodies. I was wondering if they couldn't see everything with so many eyes. It turns out that each eye is affected by a relatively independent nerve."
"Didn't you know this before?" Xu Xin turned to look at her and asked.
"How can we know that?" Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin speechlessly. "Do you think we could obtain the body of an alien invader to study its neural structure? What a joke! We were hiding so badly..."
That’s true…
"What's an octopus?" The monster was somewhat curious about the creature Xu Xin mentioned, whose body structure was similar to that of alien invaders.
"It is a creature that lives in the ocean, or even in the deep sea," Xu Xin explained.
"Living... in water? How terrifying." The monster's closed eyes trembled.
"So... what about you?" Shi Wanyun was no longer afraid of the monster in front of her. She looked directly at it and said, "You... have a human brain, don't you?"
"Yes." The monster pointed to his head. "My brain is in my head, just like you humans on Earth."
"I no longer have a nervous system like theirs that spreads throughout my body."
As the monster spoke, its eyes could not help but want to open again.
"So, I don't have the ability to control the eyes throughout my body at will like them."
Xu Xin's eyes flashed with a look of realization: "No wonder you couldn't help but want to open your eyes when your emotions fluctuated a little just now..."
Since it is controlled by one brain just like humans, its current situation is like that of a human with normal eyes, who sees things with one eye open and one eye closed.
When emotions fluctuate, such as when being frightened, the other eye may want to open uncontrollably.
Moreover, it has many more eyes than humans. If it wants to control only two of its eyes to open and the others to close, it would probably be more difficult to control than for humans to open one eye and close the other.
The monster continued to narrate.
…
It has a peculiar body structure that is common to both humans on Earth and alien creatures, which makes alien scientists ecstatic.
But it is still too young and too fragile when it is just born, so many experiments and tests cannot be carried out, otherwise it will cause harm to this fragile little life or even lead to its death.
It was hybridized after much effort by the alien scientific community. We have to at least wait until it grows to a certain age to see its IQ and various reactions.
So, under the care of scientists, it gradually grew up.
Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of alien invaders is much longer than that of humans. Calculated in terms of Earth's time units, it is roughly the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun two hundred times, or about two hundred years.
Therefore, the alien invaders will reach adulthood about 30 to 40 years on Earth.
But as a hybrid of human and monster, its age is very similar to that of humans.
It took about fifteen years for it to grow into an adult.
And in the process, it has also undergone countless experiments.
At the same time, it grew up and lived with other alien invaders... no, it should be said that the descendants of these invaders.
These descendants should no longer be called invaders, but colonists.
But because of its special appearance, which is somewhat similar to that of humans, and its faster growth rate, it was severely marginalized during its growth.
It is favored by scientists and is the offspring recognized by their leader himself, so it has not suffered any substantial harm. However, it can only avoid being provoked, so its growth process is very lonely.
As it grew, even the scientists who raised it gradually began to show disgust for it.
After all, ugliness in childhood is not that shocking, but it is very different when you grow up.
In the eyes of alien colonists, its appearance after adulthood can be said to be... very deformed.
At the same time, scientists have also discovered its abnormalities.
Its brain was born through hybridization, and its functional impairment was not so obvious when it was young, but it began to show after it reached adulthood.
After all, it is using the human brain to control a body that is closer to a monster. Most monsters can do things easily, but it simply cannot do them.
Moreover, because the nerves that control the body are concentrated in one place, if the brain is damaged, death will occur immediately. Most importantly, this brain is as delicate and fragile as the human brain and cannot withstand any injury.
During the long course of evolution, humans on Earth have evolved an extremely hard skull to protect the brain, but alien invaders do not have this.
Although they have similar structures, their bones are much softer and more flexible than human bones, and they mainly rely on muscle-like tissue to move.
The reason they did not develop this kind of protective structure is that their nerves are spread throughout the body and there is no need to protect any one of them.
Even if part of their body, or even more than half of it, is destroyed, some of their nerves are still preserved. With their powerful self-healing ability and medical technology, as long as some tissues still exist, they can be reborn.
It can even split under certain circumstances!
One half becomes one individual and the other half becomes another individual.
…
"Is it the earthworm attracting this time..." Xu Ying couldn't help but complain.
"It seems that all creatures on Earth are magical, too." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Earthworm attraction, what is that?" asked the monster.
"Oh, we have a kind of insect here, and your scientists may have studied it before." Xu Xin said casually, and then asked curiously, "Since it can split, will you increase the population in this way?"
“… It’s unrealistic to try to increase our numbers in this way.”
The monsters' language has become more and more fluent, and now it is almost free of lag.
It is indeed a combination of an intelligent species that can already travel in space and humans, the intelligent creatures on Earth.
It opened its mouth and said, "Losing a small part of the body can be self-healed or treated quickly, but losing half of the body will also kill you. Although you can rely on technology to keep yourself alive, the medical cycle is very long and the resources consumed are very high, even more than the total energy required by an individual in his entire life."
"Oh, he's seriously injured and dying, and he's in the intensive care unit." Xu Ying understood.
"So, using this method to split is not only extremely painful and consuming, but also has the possibility of failure and death. Therefore, no one would do this except a madman."
"So, a madman did this?" Xu Xin asked.
"Yes. There used to be. But then it was banned by law."
“It should indeed be banned.”
At this time, Shi Wanyun, who had been silent, asked, "So, have you lost this ability?"
"right."
…
Not only is it unable to protect its own brain, it has even lost the alien's near-perfect self-healing ability.
At the same time, its brain is very confused.
At the same time, its body is very "ugly".
It was a very failed experiment.
The alien scientists didn't want to give up on it at first, after all, it was the result of their long and hard work.
But later, its existence was exposed to the mother planet, and all the alien creatures on the mother planet began to strongly oppose this evil practice of allowing the genes of the "Earth monster" to pollute their genes.
Ultimately, the plan was canceled.
It became the only thing born out of this plan.
After that, it became less and less popular among the alien colonists.
Fortunately, those scientists still had a certain conscience and guilt towards it since it had half of their blood, so they at least tried to protect it from any harm. They even invented various protective gear for it and gave it various super-precision weapons to protect itself.
At least it can allow it to live out its life in peace.
But at that time, its brain had already begun to lose control and was extremely confused.
Moreover, it, which had never had any contact with the outside world, began to develop a strong curiosity about the other half of its genes, humans.
…
"So, you came to us?" Xu Ying suddenly realized, "I see."
"Yes. If I want to contact humans, I naturally have to start by contacting my mother whom I have never met."
The monster's speech at this point was extremely fluent and clear. Apart from the fact that its voice was a little unpleasant, it was almost the same as that of a normal person. It even sounded a bit literary, probably because of the language teaching materials it used to learn it.
"So, I looked up various materials and found out where my human mother on Earth was, and then I went there alone."
…
Because none of the alien colonists at the time wanted to bother with it, so when it went out alone, no one stopped it.
Even those scientists don't have it, and they no longer care about this stain on their scientific career.
After that, the story of the monster and human team began.
The first time it saw a human, it was so disgusted that it vomited.
It really couldn't imagine that there would be such a terrifying and creepy creature in this world.
Its mother turned out to be such a creature.
It even has a gene for this!
In extreme chaos, its confused brain began to split completely and began to form countless personalities.
This is a sequelae of alien genes. Each individual alien creature is similar to a cluster of countless consciousnesses, and in this hybrid, it manifests as split personality.
Among them, two personalities stand out the most.
The first personality wants to understand humans and know what kind of creature the other half of its bloodline is.
The second personality hates humans extremely and wants to kill all humans!
Because it has a brain similar to that of humans, its first personality is relatively stable, while its second, violent personality is extremely unstable and may pop up at any time.
As for other personalities, they are all harmless and harmless personalities.
In this way, when it was in a relatively stable first personality, it began to communicate with humans.
Its first personality supports humans, but it also has selfish motives.
The alien community won't accept it, but maybe humans will. If humans don't accept it either... let the two communities fight it out.
No one will have an easy time, especially the alien creatures who allowed such a thing to be born in this world.
This idea helped humans, whose strength and technology were extremely backward compared to the alien invaders at that time.
…
"You all probably know what happened afterwards. My split personality made things a mess."
"In the last dozen years of that time and space, my mind was completely confused, and even my first personality could not be stabilized. I wandered in the wilderness almost without memory or consciousness. Fortunately, I have the blood of alien invaders. The mutant creatures regarded me as their master and would not hurt me. They even protected me. That's why I was fine."
"This continued until... the world began to experience space-time disturbances."
Time and space disorder.
That space-time began to collapse due to the time paradox.
"Perhaps it was because the disorder of time and space affected my brain and made me temporarily sober. I returned to their habitat and found that they also knew nothing about this situation. Then I thought of you. Perhaps you did something with the technology I provided."
"I have already told you what happened next. I traveled to... the future."
The monster has finished telling its own story in its own time and space.
It closed its mouth, which had almost split to the back of its head, and slowly retracted, returning to a position and size similar to that of a human.
"So that's how it is..."
Xu Ying felt that everything in that time and space was connected.
Xu Xin looked at the monster's head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is your brain also very fragile now?"
"I have protection."
The monster touched his head and said, "A metal similar to the shape of a human skull has been transplanted into my head. You call it meteoric iron, the highest grade. I am not so fragile now."
"You've already had the transplant, right?" Xu Ying glanced at its head and said, "When you went crazy in our base, we shot at your head more than once, but it was completely useless. You were wearing a protective suit and holding high-tech weapons... We were no match for you at all."
"... Yes, that's right. They implanted this thing in me after the plan to create me was banned by my mother planet. They didn't want to spend so much time protecting me, nor did they want to see me so ugly again, so they did this. Fortunately, there has been no problem so far."
"Alien technology is really high-tech." Xu Ying laughed at herself.
"Actually, I want to know how I was sent to the future." At this time, Shi Wanyun spoke.
She looked at the monster and asked, "So, can you start telling us what you did after you arrived in this time and space, that is, fifty years ago?"
"Yeah, I'm curious too." Xu Xin continued, "Why... do you want to kill me? You shouldn't want to kill me anymore, right?"
"No. I told you that I came to seek refuge with you. What I am going to say next is the main reason why I came to you this time."
Four or five eyes opened on the monster's face and looked at the three people in front of it.
"What I am about to say is extremely important. Haha... Fortunately, I am now proficient in human language."
The three of them were looking at the monster, and they gradually became nervous.
The monster's mouth split open again, revealing a terrifying and chaotic array of fangs. "I came to you to tell you their greatest weakness. Maybe... I can drive them off this planet completely."
"The biggest weakness..." Xu Ying straightened up, her expression serious, "Isn't it water? You are afraid of water, right?"
"Of course not." The monster shook his head slowly, "They are afraid of water, but not that much. But it is also related to water."
"oh?"
The monster organized his words and said, "For humans on Earth, water is an indispensable source of life. But for them, it is not. They have their own 'source of life'."
"But this substance, which is the source of life for them, does not exist on Earth."
“That’s their weakness.”
