At the sight of Little Fresh Red falling silent, the Tier-Four biological virus began coaxing her again.
"You see, you're a carbon-based life-form, and I'm a parasite of carbon-based life-forms. We aren't enemies. On the contrary, I can even strengthen you a bit. Without biological viruses, what would your 'resistance system' use to temper and enhance itself?"
"Do you really think a virus like me would be interested in this piece of scrap metal? You know how complicated the relationships among the upper echelons of the Anti-Insect Alliance are. My controller, the 'Brain Eater,' was merely entrusted by someone else to do this job. There's no direct conflict of interest between us, right?"
Little Fresh Red thought for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject.
"I heard that the 'Seed of Life' was famous for its longevity and genetic modification technologies. How did it end up producing a biological virus like you?"
"Hey, little girl, don't believe all that nonsense the interstellar society spouts. Which civilization isn't a black-hearted devil? Without the short lifespans, diseases, consciousness control, genetic pollution, and gender chaos created by biological viruses, who would go to them to prolong their lives with the technology of the 'Seed of Life'?"
"So, have you never thought about controlling my consciousness? Wouldn't that be easier than persuading me with words? Aren't you a virus?"
Little Fresh Red spoke abruptly.
A trace of "quantum radiance" suddenly flickered in her eyes.
The "biological virus" suddenly flew into a rage as well.
"Damn it! Brain Eater, you're an idiot too. You couldn't infect the other party's brain even after all this time, and they got a head start by linking up to that top-end biological computer and entering quantum mode. Great, just great. Unless we kill the other party, what can you
