Strange Text

Mo Bie pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and chuckled elegantly.

He turned around and walked towards the door to the living area at the end of the laboratory.

“Come with me, I’ll show you something.”

Mo Bie opened the door and entered first.

Ping Chengcheng cautiously observed her surroundings and followed behind him.

“Do you know what caused this catastrophe?”

With a click, Mo Bie turned on the lights in the living area, casting a warm, orange glow.

The girl looked at the young man, who turned around, a smile playing on his lips.

“What reason?”

‘Didn’t he say that those zombie viruses appeared because of her? Then shouldn’t Ping Chengcheng be the real source of the disaster?’

The young man smiled and continued walking into the living area until he reached a place that resembled an exhibition area.

Several glass cases enclosed some strangely shaped black stones.

“Do you know what these are?”

Ping Chengcheng shook her head, “Get to the point, don’t be so slow!”

She snorted coldly.

The young man pushed up his glasses with a smile, “Interesting… although we discovered early on that your brainwaves were very active, just like a human… I didn’t expect…”

He looked her up and down, as if admiring a delicate work of art.

The girl’s scarlet gaze was fixed on him, but the young man didn’t show the slightest fear.

‘This guy… is so confident because he has something to rely on?’

“Then, let me show you a video.”

With that, Mo Bie walked to a table in the exhibition area, which had a tablet computer on it.

He opened the photo album and clicked on a video.

“Look, this is the truth.”

Ping Chengcheng stared at the young man watching her face, and then slowly came to the table.

The video began to play.

The picture was a bit dark, as if it was filming the night sky.

Before long, a meteor-like white light streaked across the sky and fell somewhere.

With a loud “boom,” the video captured the exclamations of the person filming.

The person filming began to approach the landing site of the meteor, the camera shaking as it moved, finally arriving at a crater with a diameter of three or four meters.

A bright flashlight illuminated the crater, and a meteorite flowing with pale blue liquid lay quietly in the center.

The camera zoomed in, and there was an inexplicable row of crooked, strange patterns on it.

“This… what is this thing?” the astonished voice of the person filming could be heard.

Seeing this video, Ping Chengcheng suddenly widened her eyes.

This!

She quickly suppressed the shock in her heart… She actually recognized these patterns!

The information within… was terrifying!

She secretly glanced at Mo Bie beside her.

He was carefully watching the video, as if he wanted to check if there was anything else missing.

The girl took a deep breath and continued to watch the video intently.

The person filming slowly approached the meteorite, and the pale blue liquid suddenly began to bubble and churn.

Then, a black shadow suddenly darted out of the liquid!

It was also at this time that the person filming screamed in panic.

The picture instantly flipped over, as if it had fallen to the ground.

It was also at this time that the video ended.

But Ping Chengcheng still recognized it.

That black shadow was the appearance of the girl’s tentacle form!

Mo Bie turned back to look at Ping Chengcheng, “How is it?”

“In fact, the outbreak of the apocalypse was due to this reason.

You… are a strange visitor from outer space.

Similarly, other than you, this type of meteorite fell all over the world on the same day.

Including you, there were about nine of them?

At the time, no one thought that these things would bring disaster.

They just thought they were accidental events.”

“They thought they were accidental events.

We also started investigating after the apocalypse before we discovered the truth.”

“The person filming this video was probably the first person in the world to be infected by you.”

“The video was filmed in August last year.

The virus spread around the world with him as the center after a incubation period of several months.”

Ping Chengcheng was silent for a moment, and then asked another question, “Why do you call me 009?”

Mo Bie continued to explain, “This number is used to indicate the order in which they fell.”

“The existences ranked before you are the other monsters that fell from the sky.

I haven’t seen them.”

Ping Chengcheng nodded knowingly.

‘It seems that those numbered monsters are basically the top 10 Variants she knew in her past life.’

“Alright, stop talking nonsense.
I only came here for one purpose.”

“Do you have the medicine that suppresses the loss of reason and turns me into a monster?”

Mo Bie raised his eyebrows slightly, “I naturally have this thing.
After all, this was essential for controlling you back then.”

“But, I have a question.”

“You are clearly a monster, so why don’t you want to become a monster now?”

He was very puzzled, looking at Ping Chengcheng with an extremely confused expression.

“We discovered a long time ago that you have the ability to devour and acquire the characteristics of certain animals.

We made a guess from the beginning, you know.”

“We guessed that you might develop human emotions because you devoured many humans, but the facts proved that your activity at that time did not support the completion of these things.”

“What is it for? Can you tell me? 009?”

Ping Chengcheng stared at Mo Bie’s probing eyes and suddenly laughed, “Why are you asking this?”

“I’m asking you, do you think it’s better to be a monster without reason or thought, or to be a person with reason and your own consciousness and thoughts?”

Mo Bie hooked the corners of his mouth, “I naturally think it’s better to be a human.”

“If I really turned into a monster, I would think that it’s not me anymore.”

“But you are different. You are a monster to begin with. The memories in your mind are all fake, they are other people’s memories.”

Ping Chengcheng smiled faintly, “Oh, so what?”

She was too lazy to argue with Mo Bie about anything.

Her memories did not originate from devouring other humans.

She was a reborn person.

These memories were things that existed in her past life.

But she would never mention even a little bit of these things to anyone other than Song Ning.

This was one of her biggest secrets.

“Stop talking nonsense, quickly take out the inhibitor you mentioned, otherwise…”

Her scarlet eyes stared at Mo Bie like a hunting beast.

Mo Bie shook his head with a wry smile, “Tsk, a monster is a monster…”

“You want the inhibitor, right? No problem, but the premise is…”

“That one in A City… you guys call it the Chimera Composite, right?”

“You must help me solve it!”

As Mo Bie spoke, his eyes turned cold.

“Do you know? It appeared because of you.”

“Because of me?” Ping Chengcheng was a little surprised, how could that be?

She didn’t even know about this!

“On the day you lost control, there was a big mess in the lab.

The Chimera Composite was one of the experimental subjects we held, but like you, it had a high IQ, and it took advantage of the chaos to escape,” Mo Bie said with a solemn expression.

Ping Chengcheng was stunned for a while, and then chuckled, “So what, I can’t beat it anyway.”

Ping Chengcheng shook her head, “There’s no way I can help with this.

Besides, A City Base and the nearby bases have teamed up, can’t they handle it?”
