Neural Network

"This!"

"It's actually the parent organism of Tuomen Acuminate Fungus?"

"It is no longer a microscopic life form, but has evolved into this body, which is like a huge neural network that spreads throughout the entire seabed!"

A sense of shock, horror, and awe for this life form welled up within Qin Yiguan.

The next moment.

Qin Yiguan seemed to realize something. "With its form... wouldn't it be able to think, to possess its own consciousness? Those branches are its neural pathways, those nodes are its neurons. Judging from its enormous size, wouldn't it be countless times more intelligent than a human?!"

"Yes."

Shui Man smiled. "You can't describe it as 'smart' or 'not smart.' You can only say that its brain has trillions more neuronal firing pathways than humans, its thinking speed is hundreds of millions of times faster than humans, and its brain can hold billions more thoughts simultaneously than humans. You can think of it as 'multitasking.'"

Qin Yiguan's expression of surprise remained unchanged. "The Tuomen Acuminate Fungus * not only has a parent organism... but also such an incomprehensible parent organism!"

now.

Qin Yiguan shifted his gaze to Shui Man.

I have too many questions!

Why... are you here?

"Why... why did I get here?!"

"How do you know so much about this Matrix!"

"This is the very bottom of the ocean! The water pressure is unimaginable. Why am I still alive? Why can I still speak? Why are you still alive? Why can you still speak?!"

Shui Man looked at Qin Yiguan and smiled faintly, "The reason I'm here is because I'm already dead."

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?!"

"Three months ago, knowing that I was about to become Negative Doppelgänger, I chose to commit suicide."

Unlike those dramatic stories, I really died.

As she spoke, Shui Man gazed at Qin Yiguan with her emerald green eyes, her expression calm.

At this moment, Qin Yiguan's expression flickered, and the Shui Man in front of me was...

"I am a * Tuomen Acuminate Fungus."

Shui Man answered the question that had been on her mind, her long green hair still swaying slightly, "After parasitizing a human body for a period of time, we will fully understand our host—her appearance, her personality, her preferences, and her emotions."

"Shui Man is dead, and I haven't sought a new host."

"Because I think she's a very good girl; she's cheerful, lively, and kind."

"I recreated her."

"I hope her figure continues to swim in the ocean; I am her, and in a way, I have continued her life."

"Before, everything you observed about Shui Man's behavior was exactly the same as the real Shui Man's."

Qin Yiguan remained silent for a long time.

In other words, did a strain of Tuomen Acuminate Fungus evolve into a human body?

"Do you find it a little scary?"

Shui Man continued, "I am dead, and then an evil, unexplained parasite copied me and is now living among people?"

"In fact, although humans and Tuomen Acuminate Fungus * are two completely different life forms, their essence is the same."

Shui Man suddenly looked into the distance.

Huge Food Mother Fish swam in from there.

Then hundreds of underwater inhabitants swam down to the fish's bellies, burrowed into their scales, and obtained the blue nutrient solution.

Qin Yiguan clearly remembered that ' Shui Man ' had once taken him to see this scene, which was how the underwater inhabitants obtained food.

But suddenly, the scene in my view distorted.

The Food Mother Fish transformed into giant humans, while the underwater inhabitants became spirulina fungi with spiral-shaped tips Tuomen Acuminate Fungus at the back.

These Tuomen Acuminate Fungus fully embody the characteristics of parasites, burrowing into the surface of human skin and lying dormant there, constantly acquiring energy before multiplying, growing stronger, and iterating.

Of course, because the size of Tuomen Acuminate Fungus is so small, humans cannot detect it during this process.

Shui Man suddenly said, "Remember when I said that Food Mother Fish are very Sloth, and sometimes we have to manipulate their bodies to guide them to safety so they can continue hunting and providing us with energy?"

Qin Yiguan nodded subconsciously.

Shui Man continued, "The same goes for the Tuomen Acuminate Fungus. When it controls humans, humans become Negative Doppelgänger, and then continue to obtain energy. Don't you think cannibalism is evil? But don't humans raise poultry to eat their offspring?"

Qin Yiguan was puzzled.

Shui Man laughed, "When we first met, I took you swimming through the water. Did you think I swam incredibly fast? Did your vision even blur?"

"That wasn't due to speed."

"That's because I introduced you to the world of Tuomen Acuminate Fungus *."

Shui Man's beautiful hair was still swaying slightly. "Now, don't you think that humans and Tuomen Acuminate Fungus are essentially the same, and that everything they do is just for survival and continuation?"

"It's like..."

"When Du An faked his death, he transformed into a parasite, residing inside a blue whale."

"It's like..."

"That enormous Giant Whale City, in the world of blue whales, is nothing more than a parasite on their backs, one that they can never shake off."

Qin Yiguan was speechless.

Shui Man continued, "Survival of the fittest. We may exist in different units of measurement, but the essence of survival is the same; there is no distinction between good and evil."

Qin Yiguan pondered for a moment and felt that Shui Man's logic might be reasonable from the perspective of Tuomen Acuminate Fungus, but Qin Yiguan himself still could not fully accept it!

"I think you might need to know more."

Shui Man suddenly said, "Let's go see the real Mother."

mother body.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiguan's expression suddenly changed.
