Chapter 435 Monster and Mother
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 human form that seals Meng Zhen's memory has a lifespan that has exceeded the limit of the ethnic group. Its appearance is becoming clearer and clearer, becoming more and more... like a human being."
"Suddenly one day, Meng Zhen, who continued to talk to it, discovered that this strange creature from the mist world had grown a complete and clear human face."
When Xu Zhifei told the story, his mood suddenly changed.
Xu Zhifei said that the face that the being from the mist world grew looked a bit like Meng Zhen, but not completely. It stared at Meng Zhen strangely, and suddenly let out a strange and shrill cry.
Then...
"Mom!"
A childish voice came from in front of him.
Meng Zhen was stunned at first. When he lowered his head and looked down, he found that the "skin" covering the twisted and fuzzy human form in front of him was cracking, revealing a slippery, slimy life inside.
It has similar characteristics to a human baby, but it is obviously not the same type of creature, because its eyes have very clear emotions. This is a monster born with memories, and it is by no means an ignorant baby.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!" This monster that sealed part of Meng Zhen's memory excitedly rushed to her side, stretched out its sticky hands to pull her clothes, and at the same time opened its mouth and screamed harshly but affectionately. stop.
Meng Zhen was dumbfounded.
She was indeed pregnant, but before the child in her belly was born, she "raised" a life born in the mist world first.
It did look like a human being, but Meng Zhen knew clearly that it was not human at all.
And just when it was born and called its mother, the other "humanoids" on the mother tree, which were aimless and could only crawl around, suddenly seemed to have turned into sharks smelling the smell of blood, and they all moved towards it. Meng Zhen rushed here.
Meng Zhen fell to the ground. At this moment, he saw that the monster calling mother did not pause at all. Its figure was expanding, its eyes were shining with bloodthirsty light, and it was also rushing towards the human figures coming around, with a dazzling and astonishing way. Speed was flying around.
Meng Zhen could only vaguely see a strange bloody stick with a mouthpart protruding from its mouth. When the mouthpart pierced the bodies of the humanoids around it, it immediately sucked them clean.
"Mom!"
The joy of surviving a desperate situation solidified instantly.
Meng Zhen looked at it. It was squatting in front of Meng Zhen. It was a little confused and confused. It seemed that it didn't understand why her mother still looked scared even though she had helped her mother 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. In fact, although Zhou Tian failed to go to the Mist Realm to find Meng Zhen in person, he actually discovered Meng Zhen's location very early and even stayed with Meng Zhen for a long time.
"What I want to talk about next is the most important memory that Meng Zhen left for me."
Xu Zhifei took a deep look at Bai Yanliang:
"This memory is also related to where the real you comes from."
Bai Yanliang nodded slightly, he was ready.

"Meng Zhen, is it really the result of these things?"
Zhou Tian's voice rang in his heart. From that day on, Meng Zhen could always hear Zhou Tian's voice.
According to Zhou Tian's own statement, he found a way to communicate between the mist world and the human world, but for the time being his body was unable to pass through, so he could only project his consciousness over. "It didn't change, it was conceived by me." Meng Zhen frowned. She didn't like Zhou Tian's words.
"Pregnancy?" Zhou Tian's voice was also very strange.
"Yes, I sealed part of my memory into one of these humanoid silhouettes. From then on, it began to change and became like this."
"So, I conceived it, no doubt about it."
Zhou Tian was silent for a while, with a little seriousness in his voice: "I don't think so."
"What do you mean?" Meng Zhen was a little emotionally unstable.
"If it is just a life born from the humanoid silhouettes in the Mist Realm, then why does he feed on these humanoid silhouettes? You should have seen it...these humanoid silhouettes are more like its food than its tribe." Zhou Tian paused, "It is simply the natural enemy of life in the mist world."
At this time, Meng Zhen just raised his head and looked at the silhouette of a humanoid figure crawling on the tree trunk, staring greedily at the outline of the mist world, with a tongue with mouthparts licking his lips.
That look... is indeed appetite.
Even a terrifying appetite.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Meng Zhen was trembling slightly. In fact, she already had an 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 how the life in the fog world came from." Zhou Tian's life echoed in Meng Zhen's heart.
"Rather than saying that this monster is the nemesis of life in the fog world, it is better to say that it is the nemesis of the human soul."
"Life in the fog world is just the residue raised by human beings' overflowing emotions."
"What it really likes and desires... is human beings themselves."
"Look at the way it looks at you occasionally...Meng Zhen, while it still listens to your words, you can't let it eat anymore."
While the two were talking, the monster had rushed to the mother tree again, sucking all the life in the mist world with its tongue and mouthparts. Those humanoid silhouettes would not scream or moan.
But this world seems to be echoing with a despair called silence.
It licked its lips and ran back very quickly.
Its appearance became even more strange and inexplicable. Sometimes its face looked like Meng Zhen, sometimes like Zhou Tian, sometimes like other people in Meng Zhen's memory. From its neck down, all the skin and flesh were squirming, and from time to time it turned into Another person's face, whether laughing or crying, sad or happy, is so strange that it is difficult to describe.
"Mom, I'm full!" It returned to Meng Zhen and sat down contentedly. The terrifying aura spread everywhere, making Meng Zhen shudder.
At this moment, Meng Zhen was having a conversation about "it" with Zhou Tian.
She had to admit that what Zhou Tian said made sense. Although the monster called her mother, the dangerous aura on it was really unbearable.
The feeling that spread from it completely ignored the body, penetrated into the inner organs, and penetrated into the soul. It was like coming from purgatory. It was bloody and brutal, causing Meng Zhen to subconsciously produce some negative emotions such as terror, pain, confusion, etc., which he could not control at all.
"Meng Zhen, listen to me, the only way now... is to call you mother while I'm still here and listen to you."
"Nip it in the cradle. The existence of this thing is a crisis of extinction for mankind."
Meng Zhen was shaken, no... more precisely, he was scared.
"I...what should I do?"
