Chapter 435 Monster and Mom

By the river, Xu Zhifei was talking and Bai Yanliang was listening.

"Memory is a key that can unlock the wisdom of chaos."

"The unique humanoid figure that contains Meng Zhen's memories has a lifespan that exceeds the limit of its species. Its appearance is becoming clearer and clearer, and more and more... human-like."

"Suddenly one day, Meng Zhen, who continued to talk to it, discovered that this strange life form in the mist world had grown a complete and clear human face."

When Xu Zhifei finished telling this part of the story, his mood suddenly changed.

Xu Zhifei said that the face of the fog creature looked a bit like Meng Zhen, but not exactly like him. It stared at Meng Zhen strangely, and suddenly let out a strange and shrill cry.

then……

"mom!"

A childish voice came from the front.

Meng Zhen was stunned at first. When he looked down, he found that the distorted and blurry human figure in front of him had a layer of "skin" covering it that was cracking, revealing a slippery and sticky life inside.

Its features are very similar to those of a human baby, but it is obviously not the same kind of creature because of its eyes. There are very clear emotions in its eyes. This is a monster born with memories, and it is definitely not an ignorant baby.

"Mom! Mom! Mommy mommy!" The monster that sealed part of Meng Zhen's memory excitedly pounced on her side, stretched out its sticky hands to pull at her clothes, and opened its mouth to call out in a shrill but affectionate voice.

Meng Zhen was stunned.

She was indeed pregnant, but the baby in her belly had not been born yet. Instead, she had "raised" a life born in the fog world.

It did look very much like a human, but Meng Zhen knew clearly that it was not a human at all.

And just when it was born and called out for its mother, the other "human figures" on the mother tree, which were originally crawling around aimlessly, suddenly turned into sharks that smelled blood, and all rushed towards Meng Zhen.

Meng Zhen fell to the ground, but at this moment he saw that the monster that was calling for his mother did not stop at all. Its body was expanding, and its eyes were flashing with bloodthirsty light. It also rushed towards the human figures around it, flying around at a dazzling and amazing speed.

Meng Zhen could only vaguely see that a strange bloody thing with a mouthpart stretched out from its mouth. When the mouthpart pierced the human figures around it, it immediately sucked them up clean.

"mom!"

The joy of surviving a desperate situation froze in an instant.

Meng Zhen looked at it. It was squatting in front of Meng Zhen, looking somewhat confused and puzzled. It seemed not to understand why his mother still looked frightened even though he had clearly helped her solve the problem.

"At this time, a voice appeared," Xu Zhifei said, "It was Zhou Tian who found a way to project his consciousness into the fog world."

Bai Yanliang was very surprised. This meant that although Zhou Tian was unable to go to the Mist Realm in person to find Meng Zhen, he had actually discovered Meng Zhen's location very early and even accompanied Meng Zhen for a long time.

"What I am going to talk about next is the most important memory Meng Zhen left me."

Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang deeply:
"This memory is also related to where the real you came from."

Bai Yanliang nodded slightly, he was ready.

----

"Meng Zhen, is it really transformed from these things?"

Zhou Tian's voice rang in his heart. Since that day, Meng Zhen could always hear Zhou Tian's voice.

According to Zhou Tian himself, he found a way to communicate between the fog world and the human world, but his body could not go there temporarily, so he could only project his consciousness over. "It's not a transformation, it's something I conceived." Meng Zhen frowned. She didn't like Zhou Tian's choice of words.

"Pregnancy?" Zhou Tian's voice was also very strange.

"Yes, I sealed a part of my memory into one of these human-shaped silhouettes. After that, it began to change and became like this."

"So, I conceived it, there's no doubt about it."

Zhou Tian was silent for a while, and said with a bit of seriousness in his voice: "I don't think so."

"What do you mean?" Meng Zhen was a little unstable.

"If it is just a life born from the human-shaped outlines of the fog world, then why does it feed on these human-shaped outlines? You should have seen it... These human-shaped outlines are more like its food than its tribe." Zhou Tian paused, "It is simply the natural enemy of the life in the fog world."

At this moment, Meng Zhen just raised his head and looked at the human-shaped outline of the Mist Realm crawling on the tree trunk, staring greedily, and his tongue with a mouthparts constantly licking his lips.

That look... is indeed appetite.

Even a terrifying appetite.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Meng Zhen's whole body was trembling slightly. In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

"You and I have been studying the fog world and the life in the fog world. You and I both know very well how the life in the fog world came about." Zhou Tian's life echoed in Meng Zhen's heart.

"Rather than saying this monster is the nemesis of life in the Mist World, it's better to say it's the nemesis of the human soul."

"The life in the Mist Realm is just the dregs raised by humans' overflowing emotions."

"What it really likes, what it really desires... is humans themselves."

"Look at the way it occasionally looks at you... Meng Zhen, while it still listens to you, you can't let it eat any more."

While the two were talking, the monster had already rushed to the mother tree, and its tongue and mouthparts were sucking up all the life in the fog world. The human-shaped silhouettes did not scream or wail.

But this world seems to be filled with a despair called silence.

It licked its lips and ran back at a very fast speed.

Its appearance became even more bizarre and inexplicable. Its face sometimes looked like Meng Zhen, sometimes like Zhou Tian, ​​and sometimes like other people in Meng Zhen's memory. From its neck down, all the skin and flesh were wriggling, and from time to time it would change into another person's face, laughing, crying, sad, or happy. It was so bizarre that it was hard to describe.

"Mom, I'm full!" It returned to Meng Zhen contentedly and sat down next to him. The terrifying aura spread everywhere, making Meng Zhen shudder.

At this moment, Meng Zhen was having a conversation with Zhou Tian about "it".

She had to admit that what Zhou Tian said made sense. Although the monster called her mother, the dangerous aura from it was really unbearable.

The feeling spreading from it completely ignored the flesh, seeping into the internal organs and deep into the soul. It was like it came from purgatory, bloody and brutal, causing Meng Zhen to subconsciously produce some negative emotions such as terror, pain, confusion, etc., and he was completely unable to control himself.

"Meng Zhen, listen to me, the only way now... is to take advantage of it while it still calls you mom and still listens to you."

"Nip it in the bud. The existence of this thing is a crisis of extinction for humanity."

Meng Zhen was shaken, no... to be more precise, he was scared.

"I...what should I do?"
