Warning?

Xiang Kun had a wealth of experience in suppressing his bloodlust, so he was very sensitive to this difference in feeling.

He carefully sensed it, searching for the reason for this difference.

Normal people have very limited control and perception over themselves. For example, with the stomach, apart from when we are hungry, have stomach discomfort, or are eating, we can hardly perceive its existence or actively control its movement.

Leaving aside the stomach, other internal organs, or even more microscopic parts, due to their physiological structure and nerve distribution, these are inherently difficult to actively perceive and control. Even muscles, many of which are not well-developed and are easily compensated for by other parts, are often not perceived. Just like someone who has never exercised much, when they first start doing push-ups, they can't feel their chest muscles working at all.

But for Xiang Kun, he has now reached the pinnacle of control over every muscle and perception of every inch of skin. Moreover, when he returns his superhuman senses to himself, he can also detect aspects that ordinary people cannot detect or control.

For example, he can locate and sense his own blood vessels by the sound of blood flow, and even after entering "Oxygen-Saving Mode," he can significantly enhance the sensitivity of his internal nerves and examine his own condition.

After this self-examination, Xiang Kun found that he could not distinguish from his previous bloodlust based on these sensations.

But he was also very certain that there was a fundamental difference.

What was he doing before that bloodthirsty urge came over him?

With that question in mind, Xiang Kun recalled the process of editing the extrasensory information for that shrub.

Then he entered a "Hyper-Sensory State" and began to examine himself by focusing on the characteristics of that cognitive information.

Xiang Kun had tried to perceive his own cognitive information in a "Hyper-Sensory State" more than once in the past, but each time he was overwhelmed by the immense amount of cognitive information that broke through his perception limits.

In his "Hyper-Sensory State," the cognitive information representing himself seemed to be far more vast and complex than the cognitive information of all other things in the world, like a black hole composed of massive amounts of information, swallowing his consciousness.

Even if Alice, as a "third party," were to observe and perceive cognitive information, the result would still be the same: no effective results could be obtained.

Xiang Kun felt that this should not be related to the characteristics of the "Mutated Creature", because he had already perceived more than one "Mutated Creature" cognitive information. Although continuing to perceive deeper would still become too vast to bear, at least he could actively control the depth of perception and was already able to judge a lot of information.

Alice was also unable to perceive his cognitive information, presumably because Alice was essentially operating through his abilities.

But now, using that cognitive information as a reference point, Xiang Kun has successfully perceived his own cognitive information.

Of course, it's not the whole picture, but only a part of the cognitive information that is extremely similar to his reference cognitive information.

This proves that, like the other newly observed organisms, he possesses this unique cognitive information within his body.

Xiang Kun began to try to influence this part of the cognitive information, but as soon as he had the idea, the relevant cognitive information changed drastically, and then he exited the "Hyper-Sensory State".

After exiting the "Hyper-Sensory State," Xiang Kun had completely lost his bloodthirsty impulses.

Clearly, his bloodthirsty impulse just now was related to that special cognitive information.

Xiang Kun was very curious, so he entered the "Hyper-Sensory State" again, using that cognitive information as a reference to examine himself and perceive his own cognitive information.

Then there was just emptiness, with no feedback whatsoever, proving that that part of his cognitive information was no longer present.

This further proves that his bloodthirsty impulse just now was caused by disturbing the "special cognitive information" of that bush—the "special cognitive information" of the bush and the one in his body should belong to the same source.

It exists in various organisms and has certain characteristics of "Mutated Creature." These two characteristics immediately reminded Xiang Kun of the "Ultimate Predator" in Mr. Liang's secret document.

Xiang Kun pondered whether that thing possessed a bunch of "Super-Linked Object" hidden within the bodies of many organisms, or whether it had broken itself down into countless small units to exist within the entire ecosystem?

Xiang Kun recalled his original concept of "Parasitizing Everything," and now it seemed this guy had already achieved that ahead of schedule?

Xiang Kun squatted down in front of the bush again and carefully compared it with another bush next to it. He had already "cleared" the special extrasensory information from the former, while the latter still had it.

Without extrasensory information, Xiang Kun really couldn't discover any unusual difference between the latter and the former. He guessed that the "special extrasensory information" should at least be an expression at the cellular or macromolecular level.

Based on his own perception and judgment, and combined with Mr. Liang's related secret documents, Xiang Kun speculated that those extrasensory information fragments with "Mutated Creature" characteristics were more likely part of the "Ultimate Predator".

Because whether it's "Emotion-Infused Object," "Super-Linked Object," or even Zero Zero One, Zero Zero Two, Gold Glitter, and Egg Pie, which have entered the system and are different from ordinary organisms, their cognitive information does not contain any characteristics of "Mutated Creature."

That "Ultimate Predator" must have integrated itself into the entire ecological cycle, and over the long years, it has spread all over the Earth.

Or, for it, this is the best form that allows it to maximize its chances of survival and survive the long and harsh process of mutation and evolution.

In this way, "mines" are hidden in all living organisms in advance, like a Trojan horse. It can extract what it needs in small parts and directly change the normal state of the organism by changing its own characteristics, and even bring about a series of fatal chain reactions.

It does this probably to ensure that it can always obtain a sufficient and "qualified" blood source.

Since it exists within the body, it's unlikely that any "Mutated Creature" could fight against it during a hunt. No wonder Mr. Liang wanted to break free from the existence basis of carbon-based life forms and use his own "High-Dimensional Factor" as "patches" to integrate new compounds and create a new life form.

Clearly, Mr. Liang believes that the existence of the "ultimate hunter" is based on various carbon-containing compounds.

If this conjecture is true, then the way its various parts are interconnected, or rather, how each part connects with its central consciousness, must be somewhat similar to Xiang Kun's "Super-Sensing Item System."

Based on the characteristics of "Mutated Creature," it cannot be a group, but only a single individual. Given the objective premise of lacking a complex functional structure and needing to adapt to all organisms, the only way to "connect" them together and subject them to unified command and control is through the information transmission method of the "Super-Sensing Item System."

This refers to a consciousness transmission network based on the existence of "High-Dimensional Factor".

However, it seems that this "Ultimate Predator" is somewhat... fragile once it enters the specific "battlefield" of the consciousness network?

When Xiang Kun was in his "Hyper-Sensory State" and perceived the special cognitive information of the shrub that had a slight "Mutated Creature" characteristic, he was only trying to influence it through "Super-Linked Object." Before he had even really started, the cognitive information underwent a huge change, as if it had collapsed.

It's like planning to eat an Ice Cream, but when you open your mouth, the Ice Cream turns into ice water from your hot breath, and you end up with nothing.

If that's the case, does it mean that Xiang Kun's influence through extrasensory information gave him an overwhelming advantage over the various branches of the "Ultimate Predator"?

With this in mind, Xiang Kun decided to enter the "Hyper-Sensory State" again, starting with the "Little Radish," then its "sub-plants," and other normal plants, spreading in this way, erasing almost all related special cognitive information fragments in the area of Chongyun Mountain that covered the "Super-Linked Object."

He then used "Emotion-Infused Object" to bring his consciousness to Lao Xia's side, Little Apple's side, and then further away to his parents, Nana's side, and Zhen'er's side. All the relatives and friends around the "Emotion-Infused Object" and "Super-Linked Object" that he arranged, including Gold Glitter, Egg Pie, and his ant army, erased that special cognitive information fragment.

Just as he was tirelessly and enthusiastically trying to continue the erasure, his intuition suddenly told him something was wrong, so he exited the "Hyper-Sensory State".

Xiang Kun stood up and looked up at the sky. Although it was already midnight, his night vision mode and super eyesight allowed him to see a bird falling in that direction, seemingly dead.

Xiang Kun frowned; he vaguely knew what his intuition had come from.

Alice's voice came through the phone in her pocket. "Boss! Something's up!"

Xiang Kun took out his phone, and the screen lit up automatically, showing a video recording from a street surveillance camera.

Xiang Kun knew that the street shown in the surveillance footage was the pedestrian street in Tongshi Town.

A few seconds later, a bird fell from the sky and died in the middle of the street. Luckily, it was late at night and there were not many people on the pedestrian street, otherwise it would probably have attracted a lot of onlookers.

The phone screen changed again, showing another place, where another bird had died.

Next, in what appeared to be a shop selling ornamental birds, a large number of birds in their cages died simultaneously and without warning.

According to Alice's annotations, these locations monitored are all near Chongyun Village or Tongshi Town.

As the surveillance video feed slid across the screen, Xiang Kun's brow furrowed.

Alice appeared, standing beside Xiang Kun, pointing in a certain direction in the mountains, her small face showing a rather solemn and murderous expression.

Xiang Kun darted through the forest and soon arrived at the area Alice had indicated. In fact, he had just entered a "Hyper-Sensory State" and could have sensed what was happening here through his cognitive information, but he still decided to go there himself.

This entire area, about one hectare in size, appears unchanged at first glance, but it has an eerie, deathly stillness.

Xiang Kun slowed his pace, squatted down under a tree, picked up a bird carcass to examine it, then put the bird carcass down, stuck his hand into the soil, dug a few times, and picked out several insect carcasses from the damp mud.

Within this area of approximately one hectare, all small animals, including birds and insects, died.

This area is the edge of the range from which Xiang Kun erased all biological special extrasensory information fragments, centered on "Little Radish".

Is this a "warning"?

That so-called "Ultimate Predator," unable to subdue him, was trying to warn him in this way to stop erasing its presence among various creatures?

Xiang Kun himself was naturally not afraid, but this "Ultimate Predator" clearly had the ability to kill a large number of creatures. If he could not erase the special extrasensory information fragments from all the creatures in a very short time, then the creatures whose special extrasensory information fragments had not been erased would all be likely to be killed by the "Ultimate Predator".

It can kill insects, kill birds, and naturally, it can kill people.

Xiang Kun took a deep breath. He never expected that he would discover and come into contact with the "Ultimate Predator" in this way and under these circumstances.

It was even a little weaker than I had imagined.

However, it must be said that its method of making threats is remarkably precise.

This unprepared "contact" put Xiang Kun at a disadvantage.

However, the "Ultimate Predator's" actions also made Xiang Kun aware of its weakness.

Against ordinary creatures, even other powerful "Mutated Creature," and even strong individuals like Mr. Liang, the "Ultimate Predator" is virtually invincible—the enemy resides within its own body, holding the key to life and death; how can it possibly win?

But for Xiang Kun, in the realm of extrasensory information, in the world of the "High-Dimensional Factor" consciousness network, and within the rules of "Consciousness-Entangled Particle," he is the one who is more powerful and possesses higher authority.

However, as Academician Shen and Mr. Liang mentioned in the secret documents, the "Ultimate Predator" and the "mysterious force" will pay close attention to and react frequently to the activities of the "Blood-feeding Creature" under sensitive conditions.

The "Ultimate Predator" is now clearly in a sensitive state, or even more so, a state of heightened agitation.

He knew that the creature must also be aware of the immense threat he posed to it.

It's obvious that as time goes on, Xiang Kun's advantage will only grow, and sooner or later he will find a way to erase all special extrasensory information in one go and sever its ability to control the "life and death of all living beings".

It will certainly not sit idly by and wait for its demise.

Xiang Kun thought for a moment, then buried the dead insects and the bird in the ground, got up, and walked towards Chongyun Village.

He temporarily stopped erasing the special extrasensory information, refraining from provoking the "Ultimate Predator".

After returning home, Xiang Kun first entered a "Hyper-Sensory State" and carefully sensed Lao Xia's cognitive information. After confirming that there were no other cognitive information fragments with the characteristics of "Mutated Creature" and that the "Ultimate Predator" could not control Lao Xia's life and death, he woke up Lao Xia, who was fast asleep.

Now we can communicate directly with Lao Xia about many things.
