The Origin of the Starvation Corpses

Shennong Garden.

Qin Yiguan sat at the door of the thatched hut.

Watching Zhichun busy inside the greenhouse.

Lao De was dozing off in the recliner in the yard.

She glanced at the table again at the two large bowls of food that Zhichun had prepared for her once more.

final.

Qin Yiguan lowered his head and looked at the bottom of the wooden table.

The little boy named Zhiliao was sticking his bottom out, peering intently through a crack in the ground.

"Ground Mouth..."

"I know you're here, come out quickly."

"Give me back my button."

The little boy was talking to himself.

"Zhiliao."

"Stop looking."

Qin Yiguan smiled gently, "Brother has a question for you."

The little boy Zhiliao around, plopped down on the ground, and stared at the scene with curious eyes.

Qin Yiguan asked, "I know that the Ground Mouth can swallow buttons and the Electricity Bug can steal electricity, so... is there a magical creature that can make people very hungry?"

"Yes, I have!"

"And no one else knows!"

The little boy exclaimed excitedly, "It's called Starvation Corpse!"

Qin Yiguan's Pupil contracted slightly.

Then the cicadas Zhiliao, "The Starvation Corpse belongs to the monster category! It's huge, probably about 5 meters tall. It has no skin, but its body is incredibly hard. It has several mouths, one in its hands and another on its belly!"

A description of Zhiliao.

It looked exactly like the ' Starvation Corpse ' I had seen.

Qin Yiguan's idea has now been completely proven true!

Inside the Metaverse Experimental Zone.

Consciousness is an incredibly magical power.

In many ways, it is greater than everything else.

Previously, Qin Yiguan's partner Chen Mudou, had subconsciously constructed the ' Fifth Strongest Magician '.

It was because of this experience.

When the ' Ground Mouth ' and ' Electricity Bug ' appeared in the burrows of Starvation Corpse, Qin Yiguan instantly thought of the little boy Zhiliao!

In that brief encounter before.

Zhiliao told stories of ' Ground Mouth ' and ' Electricity Bug,' two creatures that seemed to have been born from a fairy tale world in his mind.

At the time, Qin Yiguan found it quite amusing.

In the present world, there are of course no Ground Mouth, let alone Electricity Bug!

But as it turns out...

The Qin Yiguan were too limited in scope.

Not only do ' Ground Mouth ' and ' Electricity Bug ' exist, but even ' Starvation Corpse ' exist!

in other words.

The 'creatures' in a cicada's Zhiliao all exist!

Because this little boy, Zhiliao, is on the same level as Chen Mudou —both are powerful figures with explosive subconscious abilities!

The Starvation Corpse are not native creatures of the Metaverse, but were created by Zhiliao!

However, Qin Yiguan still didn't know which kind of Reality Enhancement Zhile was Zhiliao, or what kind of mental illness he had!

Because Zhichun once said, "Zhiliao, why are you out here again? Go back to your room and sleep, you're still sick!"

Therefore, Qin Yiguan provided a brief description of the Zhiliao's symptoms and sent it to Dr. House.

Dr. House seemed to be very busy, but he finally replied to the message 10 seconds ago.

"This is indeed a rare mental illness."

"Scientific name: [Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome]"

"The patient shows no abnormalities in daily life."

"But if he encounters something he can't understand, or something he just can't figure out no matter what, then he'll use his imagination to Logic Completion of the situation."

"The young patient you mentioned probably imagines a 'mysterious creature' whenever she encounters something she can't understand, and all the illogical things she sees are the work of that 'mysterious creature.'"

"For example, if it can't find the button that fell to the ground, it will imagine an ' Ground Mouth Ground Mouth ' that swallowed the button."

"In daily life, the battery power in some devices may naturally decrease, which patients may not understand, so they imagine ' Electricity Bug '."

"Not understanding why people would go hungry, the term ' Starvation Corpse ' came into being."

"There are many, many more similar cases..."

"In short, he has to use fantasy to make the logic work, otherwise he will be in extreme pain."

Qin Yiguan nodded silently.

The truth is not hard to understand— the Zhiliao must have a high Fusion Rate; without realizing it, all its fantasies have become real living beings.

This explains why the bodies of starving people dissolve automatically after Starvation Corpse die—because they never actually existed!

[Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome]...

It's like using a chain to forcibly connect all illogical things.

No wonder the ' Ground Mouth ', ' Electricity Bug ', and ' Starvation Corpse ' all have those chain markings on them.

Similarly, this symbol also signifies that they are all anthropomorphized creatures.

At that moment, Dr. House sent another message.

"I once treated a similar patient, a child, whose ability was to materialize [Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome] within the Experimental Zone!"

"That young patient is a descendant of Mr. Chen Fende, one of China's top agricultural scientists. It was because of him that Old Master Chen went into hiding and settled deep in the Experimental Zone!"

"What was that little patient's name again? I can't remember right now. I'll go look it up!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiguan gently shook his head.

Actually, there's no need to check anymore; everything already matches up.

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan looked at the adorable little boy still hiding under the table, "Zhiliao, do you know that Starvation Corpse can hurt others?"

The little boy shrank back, then defiantly retorted, "That's impossible! I'm just letting the Starvation Corpse bring hunger to others!"

"You're letting the Starvation Corpse bring hunger to others?"

But then Qin Yiguan suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You can control the Starvation Corpse?"

But then Zhiliao suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes widening, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

But then Qin Yiguan crouched down and kept getting closer to the Zhiliao, creating a sense of oppression.

"Zhiliao, I just Zhiliao some news! A small town thousands of kilometers away has been overrun by Starvation Corpse, and many people have died!"

"Don't you understand? This isn't a game. You must bring back those Starvation Corpse!"

The little boy was curled up, tears welling in his eyes. "But... Grandpa is going to die."

"Grandfather?"

Qin Yiguan turned around and looked at the drowsy Lao De in the courtyard, not understanding what Zhiliao meant.

"Grandpa has reached the end of his lifespan; he's about to die."

I don't want Grandpa to die.

Zhiliao aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. "Grandpa said he couldn't bear to see anyone go hungry. He swore that as long as there was one person in the world who was starving, he would never close his eyes in peace. He would grow more food to fill everyone's stomachs!"

Qin Yiguan paused slightly.

Now I understand why Starvation Corpse occurs!

Zhiliao, after all, just a child. In his heart, he wanted to use this fairytale-like plan to prevent his grandfather from dying.

Zhiliao choked up again, saying, "I just wanted to create a lot of hungry people. The day you came, Grandpa saw you were hungry and gave you food. That was the day Grandpa was most energetic and happiest!"

Qin Yiguan's body stiffened slightly again.

indeed.

Except for the brief moment he wolfed down his food, Lao De remained dozing in his chair.

Qin Yiguan knew.

Even when a human's lifespan is nearing its end, they will not exhibit that dying state in the Metaverse, and there will be no abnormalities. The only characteristic that will be revealed is that they will become increasingly sleepy!

After understanding the reason for everything.

Qin Yiguan felt a mix of emotions.

The post station was in grave danger, and the culprit was none other than the 4-year-old boy in front of them.

Killing him should end everything.

But Qin Yiguan still couldn't bring himself to do it.

The characteristic of [Conscience-Free Syndrome] is not that it makes patients have no conscience, but that it makes them feel no guilt after doing anything.

But if it's before doing 'this'...

At this moment, Qin Yiguan looked at the aggrieved and crying little boy and felt very hesitant.

"Waaaaah..."

But then Zhiliao wiping away tears, "Actually, I know that no matter how many people go hungry, Grandpa will die..."

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said, "Since you know the truth, then don't hurt those innocent people. If you really make a mistake, Grandpa will be heartbroken when he finds out."

"Waaaaah..."

The Zhiliao continued to cry, but its sobs grew softer and softer. Finally, it slowly raised its head. "Yes, Grandpa was a very kind man. I can't let him be sad. Now, I should let those Starvation Corpse go home..."

Qin Yiguan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That would be best!

He really didn't want to kill a 4-year-old child!

But then Zhiliao the cicada supporting itself on its hands, its posture endearingly clumsy, trying to get up, presumably preparing to control the Starvation Corpse in the distance.

But Qin Yiguan suddenly froze.

Because he saw that the cicada also had an iron chain symbol Zhiliao waist!

It has the exact same markings as those on ' Ground Mouth ', ' Electricity Bug ', and ' Starvation Corpse '!

It was at this time.

Dr. House sent another message, "Found it! The one suffering from [Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome] is a little girl!"

"A little girl?!"

Qin Yiguan was taken aback. "Shouldn't it be a four-year-old boy?"

Dr. House: "A little boy? You mean Mr. Chen's grandson? Mr. Chen did have a four-year-old grandson, but that was over ten years ago, because that child unfortunately died at the age of four!"

"What?"

Qin Yiguan stared at the Zhiliao in front of him, his body instantly freezing.

"Oh!"

Dr. House added, "That young patient from before was Mr. Chen's eldest granddaughter. She should be in her early twenties now. Her name is Zhichun!"

And at this very moment.

A chill suddenly ran down Qin Yiguan's back.

At the same time, he also felt a cold gaze looking at him from behind!

He slowly turned around.

But then they saw Zhichun standing at the door of the thatched hut.

At this moment, Zhichun was still holding the basket in her hands, her head slightly lowered, her face somewhat gloomy.

"That's right."

The Zhiliao long dead.

"Just like the short- Zhiliao cicada."

"The little boy you saw, like the Starvation Corpse, both stem from my [Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome]."

"I couldn't accept my brother's death, so I created him!"

"Similarly, all the strange creatures you see are my creations!"

"In this world, there is only one person who can control the Starvation Corpse, and that is me!"

"Qin Yiguan, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Zhichun spoke, she slowly raised her head.

Her Pupil had turned pitch black, and veins were bulging on her forehead. "But you just had to meddle!"
