Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 770
The rooms inside the rental house haven't changed much from the last time Zhou Yu left.The bare dirt floor is about [-] centimeters lower than the outside, forming a natural ladder.The three crystallized chairs have disappeared, and they should have been cleaned up.

The grid on the side of the wall has also become an exquisite crystal since last time, perhaps because it has no effect on its function, and it still stays in place.On the bottom shelf is a water bowl with a small white lotus floating in it.The size and color of the flower looked exactly the same as the crumbled red leaves the day before yesterday.

Just as Zhou Yu was paying attention to the lotus in the water, the black curtain opposite was lifted.Sang Lian came out from inside.His attire was also the same as the day before, without any change.The white T-shirt, which is easily stained no matter how you look at it, is as spotless as if it was just taken off the shelf.

He came to Zhou Yu lightly and stood there speechless, as if waiting for Zhou Yu to speak first.So, Zhou Yu took out the piccolo that was stuck obliquely in his pocket.

"Is this flute yours?"

After hearing Zhou Yu's question, Sang Lian just stood there quietly.Just when Zhou Yu thought he would not respond, he nodded and said, "Yes."

The calm and slight voice almost made Zhou Yu think it was his auditory hallucination.However, in the entire closed room, apart from him and Sang Lian, only Boss Yu sat silently in the corner, and no one else would answer.To make sure he heard correctly, he asked again: "Did you throw this flute into that deep hole?"

"Yes."

This time, there was no possibility of misunderstanding, and an affirmative answer came from Sang Lian's mouth.

"Have you seen me before? Before I came over with Hongye last time?"

When asked this sentence, Zhou Yu unconsciously held his breath.

The boy with red beads on his forehead looked at him with eyes like a deep pool.After a long time, he said: "This body has seen it, but this soul has not."

Zhou Yu understood what he meant.He clenched the bamboo flute in his hand, and the red eyes of the skull ring appeared in front of his eyes.

"So, what happened when you first encountered this body?"

Sang Lian said calmly: "This body wants to get rid of me, but it fails."

"Why did she kill you?"

"I don't know."

"Did you win?"

"It's a draw."

"Did you hurt her?"

"none."

Zhou Yu stopped asking.His mind was at a loss.Every answer of Sang Lian was beyond his expectation, making it impossible for him to think smoothly.After a long time, he said, "Why did you throw the flute into that hole?"

"This flute has been destroyed, it is useless to keep it."

Zhou Yu looked at the flute in his hand, but found no signs of damage on the surface of the flute.Before he continued to ask questions, Sang Lian actually walked over from the opposite side and took the bamboo flute from him.

"you……"

The bamboo flute split itself in Sang Lian's hands.It becomes two semicircular bamboo slips.The inside of the exposed bamboo tube is packed with finely shimmering crystal grains.It wasn't stuffed into the tube the day after tomorrow, but it seemed to grow out of the inner wall of the bamboo tube.

"Red leaves?" Zhou Yu blurted out immediately after seeing the familiar grain shape.

However, Sang Lian shook her head slightly, and stretched out a finger towards Zhou Yu.

"You mean, I made the stuff in this flute?"

"It's not the soul, it's the body."

Zhou Yu stared at the other party's calm eyes.After Hongye and Aosier, Sang Lian is the third person who can directly distinguish him from Zhou Yu.He didn't think the other party had such ability, and would confuse himself with Hongye.

"So, did you see me...the person who controlled this body at that time threw something into that hole?"

Sang Lian shook her head and said, "No."

Zhou Yu completely lost his mind.

Before facing Sang Lian, he always thought Mo Tian's words were not credible.Be it the fragmented pages of the diary, or the bamboo flute crystallized inside, it may have been with Osir from the very beginning.Then after Aosier died, his inheritance was naturally acquired by Motian.Although he didn't know Humpty Humpty's purpose, he was undoubtedly targeting Sang Lian, so he took the diary fragments and bamboo flute and threw them into the hole, and then lured Zhou Yu over to plant and frame him.

This was his original thought, so he came to Sang Lian to confirm it.Even though both he and Motian seemed to be Hongye's enemies, for some reason Zhou Yu had more trust in this young man with forehead beads.No matter how much he hated the red forehead bead, the person who gave birth to this bead would not lie to him, this was an intuitive conviction.

However, Sang Lian personally denied his idea with a definite answer.

Looking at the red bead on the other's forehead, Zhou Yu felt that disgusting feeling of wanting to vomit again.Perhaps because of the previous experience, this time he quickly controlled himself.

"You know that fat guy named Skyscraper?"

"Yes."

Sang Lian's answer was as concise as a machine.That calm appearance even makes one doubt whether he is really a living thing.

"He wanted to kill you, you know?"

"I know."

Zhou Yu remembered the words that the green-haired girl yelled when she came here last time.

"Do you have any grievances with him?"

This time, Sang Lian didn't even utter a single word.He just looked at Zhou Yu silently, as if he didn't understand the meaning of "grievance" at all.Seeing his attitude, Zhou Yu had no choice but to change the way he asked questions.

"Do you know why he wants to kill you?"

This time, Sang Lian nodded.He said, "To defend the city."

His answer actually matched Mo Tian's words completely, which made Zhou Yu unable to react for a while.

"In other words, you're really threatening the city, aren't you?"

With disbelief, Zhou Yu asked, "Are you really planning to eat this city...?"

"Yes."

As if stating a very obvious fact, Sang Lian nodded without hesitation.

Frankly speaking, Zhou Yu was completely confused when the conversation reached this point.He hoped that Hongye would be by his side at this moment, regardless of whether he could understand or not, at least he could get a more detailed explanation.The way of speaking like Sang Lian is simply not understandable by normal people.

That's right, he and Sang Lian couldn't communicate at all.It's not because the meaning of the other party is too vague. In terms of the clarity of the answer, there is no clearer option than "yes" and "no".However, when facing Sang Lian alone, Zhou Yu realized that this person "has no sense of reality".

It was an experience that cannot be expressed in words.The boy with red beads on his forehead was indeed standing in front of him, breathing, blinking, and the natural movement of facial muscles, all signs were normal.The only thing lacking is the impression of being a living person.His words and deeds are like a projector that has already been recorded, and when a specific switch is pressed, a corresponding reply will be given.

Behind those words, it seems that there are only residual voices, but no conveyed thoughts exist.

Even when Zhou Yu fell into a long silence because of thinking, the other party still stared at him without any feedback.There was neither impatience in waiting, nor any curiosity and speculation in those eyes.Seen from such a close distance, he looks like a highly simulated robot.

The more he thought about it, the more fake the person in front of him seemed, which he hadn't noticed when he came with Hongye before.Staring at this "empty body", he instinctively asked the last question.

"why?"

Why devour the city?Why tell the truth?Why is it so empty?Even Zhou Yu couldn't figure out what he wanted to ask.

After hearing this question, Sang Lian finally smiled gently, like joy.At the end of the short meeting, he uttered the only sentence that made Zhou Yu feel the "true" answer.

"In order to achieve the realm of truth."
