Cruise has a total of six shells for his activities on Earth.
These six shells have been specially modified so that they can barely accommodate the soul of Cruise, an outsider, but Cruise still cannot stay in the human or animal shell for too long, and the hardware mismatch will make his soul change. become weaker and weaker.
Five of the six shells, including the one he uses now, are human. The last remaining body is the reindeer body Cruise used when he first came to Earth.
The carcass of the reindeer can no longer be used due to age, aging and weakness, and has been destroyed.
The other five sets of shells are still kept on the spacecraft, but Zhou Yue failed to extract the specific storage points of these five sets of shells from Cruise's mouth.
Zhou Yue didn't even know where Cruise put the shell of Russian origin that Cruise is using now. Cruise didn't show it to Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue could only look forward to returning The real Mu Chen and Mu Xing can help with the investigation.
Although he couldn't figure out where Cruise's spare bodies were placed, Zhou Yue got an extremely important piece of information from Cruise.
"Imprint?" Mu Qin leaned against the cold metal wall, covered his right ear with his hand, and communicated with Zhou Yue spiritually.
"Yes, all of Cruise's spare shells have a common mark."
Zhou Yue was standing beside Cruise at this moment, staring at the back of Cruise's right ear. Although part of it was covered by the hair, there was still a dark red mark behind Cruise's right ear.
Rather than a "stamp", an "interface"
Zhou Yue didn't need to speak, but kept sending messages to Mu Qin in his head. He explained to Mu Qin: "Cruise is not a human being, and his soul is not adapted to a human body. There's a difference between the gods and real humans."
"We all know that the Cruz family's communication method is spiritual communication, just like what we are doing at the moment. But the Cruise family has an innate advantage in the means of spiritual communication, and their bodies have a special 'sensory organ' '."
"Just like human eyes can capture pictures, ears can collect sounds, and noses can distinguish smells... This special sensory organ in the Cruise family can help them capture other people's mental signals."
"Mu Chen showed us his memory, which also showed the appearance of those aliens, and Mu Qin, you are now in Cruise's spaceship, and you may see the bodies of many aliens later."
"On the back of the brains of those aliens, there are many long and long tube-like structures, which are their 'spiritual perception organs', and these tube structures can be connected to their high-tech machinery, allowing them to It is convenient to operate various technological devices, just like data cables.”
Although Zhou Yue's explanation was a bit abstract, Mu Qin still understood what he meant, and he summed up the main points of Zhou Yue's words in one sentence: "That is to say, there are a lot of thick and long data on the heads of these aliens. Wire!"
Zhou Yue was amused by Mu Qin's words, and even burst into laughter. Before the serious expression on his face collapsed, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
Cruise, who was chatting with a certain player over there, noticed Zhou Yue's strangeness, and turned to look at him.
Zhou Yue waved to Cruise, indicating that he was fine and let him continue.
When Cruise turned back and continued to chat with a certain player through the personal system, Zhou Yue continued to talk to Mu Qin in his mind:
"That's right, it's the data cable. When these aliens use their high-tech electronic products, they also pursue the simplification of operation just like humans. In short, they are lazy. It is too troublesome to type the keyboard and mouse by hand. So they hook up the natural data wires in their heads to their computers and operate the computers directly with their minds."
"The shells of aliens can indeed easily do this, but the shells of human beings cannot do this, because no matter how the human genes are modified, it is impossible for a human head to grow a data line."
"Because of this, Cruise encountered a lot of troubles after he came to the earth, because the original alien body was not suitable for the earth's environment, so he could only use the human body to engage in activities, but the human body did not have a data cable, so many high-speed computers on the spacecraft There is no way to operate the technological equipment conveniently, so what should we do?”
"It didn't bother Cruise, he's a smart scientist, so he made himself a detachable external 'data cable'."
When Zhou Yue said this, Mu Qin instantly understood what he meant, "I understand, the reason why there are uniform 'imprints' on Cruise's spare bodies is because those imprints are actually sockets for external data cables? "
"That's right, I think these sockets are generally distributed behind the ears of these spare shells, close to the brain nerves, and can quickly connect with the spirit."
The information obtained by Zhou Yue really helped Mu Qin a lot, and Mu Qin was pleasantly surprised: "How did you learn this from Cruise?"
"A casual question." Zhou Yue rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "When I was observing him, I casually asked what is behind your ear, and he just told me that it was an 'interface', which is blunt... I I wonder if he did it on purpose."
Mu Qin said: "No matter what, it's better to destroy his spare bodies first. You stabilize Cruise first. I have some people here who can help me find those bodies as soon as possible."
"By the way, during this period, try to help me find out the appearance of those spare bodies. It would be a waste of time if you turn over the ears one by one to see if there are any ports."
Zhou Yue replied: "It's not difficult, just find something in common. Except for the interface behind the ears, all of Cruise's spare bodies are Caucasian. It seems that Caucasian physique is more suitable for his soul, and he also He prefers a stronger and taller body, and the yellow race looks petite in his eyes, so it is not suitable."
"If Mu Chen and Mu Xing have started to use bioprinters to produce player bodies now, then they will definitely give priority to producing players with stronger mental power in accordance with my game rules."
"Most of the players in the fringe world are Asian, and there are also players in Europe, but they are in the minority. Among the top 100 players in terms of spiritual power, only eight are Caucasian."
Zhou Yue said to Mu Qin: "So... when you are screening these bodies, if you see Asian faces, you can skip them directly. If you see white faces, you can carefully check whether there is an interface behind the ears. .”
Zhou Yue's information was very detailed and helped Mu Qin a lot. Mu Qin informed Ivan and his team of the selection criteria and told them that he was going to find five people with red interface marks behind their ears on this spaceship next. The five white men were probably sealed in a glass container filled with an unknown liquid.
The task of Ivan's team jumped from the task of "catch the thief and take back the crystal stone" to the task of "helping Mu Qin find five white men".
This does not seem to be a very difficult task, but when Muqin and Ivan's team walked inside the labyrinth-like spaceship, they immediately felt that this task was so... so difficult.
"All the corridors and the doors of the rooms are exactly the same! Although there are signs on the doors, the text on the signs... we can't understand at all." Ivan and Muqin complained, "It would be too much to check each door. It's a waste of time, what should we do?"
"Cold salad." Just as Mu Qin was discussing with Ivan and others, a strange voice suddenly joined their seminar.
Muqin, Yiwan and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound at the same time, and found a boy in a strange white costume standing at the end of the corridor not far away.
Ivan and his team members are very military literate, and the first reaction when they find an unknown person is to raise their guns and aim at each other.
Mu Qin paused for a moment, waved his hand to let Ivan and others relax their vigilance, and walked over slowly.
As they got closer, Mu Qin saw the boy's appearance clearly, and couldn't help shouting: "Mu Xing?"
The appearance of this young man is exactly the same as that of Ashin in memory. If you ignore the weird costume he is wearing, he seems to have walked from the past three hundred years ago to today and the future.
But Mu Qin knew very well that Ashin was dead...
No, he didn't die, but somehow survived. This is due to Cruise's soul fusion experiment, but no one can tell whether the result of soul fusion is good or bad.
"I have always had a very curious question, and I think the answer to this question can only be learned from you, Mu Qin." Mu Xing approached Mu Qin while speaking.
When Mu Xing walks, he can't help pulling the tape on his clothes. Mu Xing is wearing an alien space suit, and there are many long straps attached to the back and hood that can be dragged to the ground. I don’t know what they are for, but they often get entangled when Mu Xing walks Together, a little in the way.
"Question?" Mu Qin frowned, "I don't think I have time to answer your question now. On the contrary, we have more important things to do. Have you and Muchen started producing the bodies of those players? "
"Of course, it has already started. The technology of this spaceship is extremely advanced, and the production body can be like a fully automated factory. As long as the data is input, the machines will move by themselves."
Mu Qin raised the corners of his mouth and said joyfully, "That's really great."
After that, he glanced at Mu Xing: "By the way, why are you alone? Where's Mu Chen?"
"Brother is going to load the language." Mu Xing couldn't untie the entangled belts on his body, so he simply walked in front of Mu Qin with these belts. He raised his head and looked at Mu Qin who was half a head taller than himself.
"My dear Mu Qin, you haven't answered my question yet." Mu Xing stared at him.
"What's the problem, you have to ask me now?" Mu Qin was a little helpless, "And don't call me 'Dear Mu Qin', it sounds strange, you mistakenly thought that I was your brother before, that's all. , and now... ”
"That's it!" Mu Xing suddenly interrupted him, "That's the problem!"
Mu Xing pointed to Mu Qin's chest and heart, his eyes flickered, "I'm really curious, Mu Qin, how did you come to the real world and get a real body?"
"..." As soon as Little Xingxing asked this question, Mu Qin instantly fell into an inexplicable silence.
