The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1138 Kinship and Bloodline

However, the customs officer, who was in a hurry to meet his sweetheart, didn't think much of it, just shook his head and left the scene in a hurry.

But the impression left by that glance fell into another person's mind.

A sports car with flamboyant lines and a scarlet paint followed, its engine humming low as if it were filled with excitement.

However, the man in the driver's seat was not excited at all.

He was gripping the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white, and a fine layer of cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Even more bizarrely, it seemed as if a second pair of eyes had been forcibly squeezed into his eye sockets, with two eyeballs, one large and one small, spinning wildly in the sockets.

The pain caused the muscles in his face to twitch in waves, and he mumbled incoherently:

"What's going on...something's not right...something's not right..."

Just then, the in-vehicle terminal suddenly lit up.

"Excuse me, do you need any help?"

The man suddenly looked up, his gaze almost uncontrollably fixed on the scene.

The image on the screen was not his usual system skin—the sweet pink-haired girl in a sailor uniform with twin tails—but an unfamiliar woman in a blue dress.

Her bright eyes were sharp as swords, her hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, and her clothes were in the ancient style of the Eastern Empire.

These days, only a few old guys from the Eastern Empires still like to use this kind of image as system skins.

The man knew very well that he wouldn't set it up that way.

"what do you……"

The woman looked at him, her tone calm:

"You don't need to worry about that."

“It just looks like you really need help.”

As soon as she finished speaking, countless thin golden rays descended from her body, wriggling and swimming over like living things, before suddenly piercing his body.

The man initially thought that the gold thread had no physical form.

But the next instant, a real stinging pain exploded from deep within the skin and flesh.

"Aaaaaah—!"

He nearly threw the steering wheel off the wheel.

This pain comes from the inside out.

It was as if some living thing inside him was disgusted by it and was struggling and writhing wildly deep inside him, desperately refusing to be touched by this force.

Even my head started to hurt.

It comes in waves, like fine needles pricking inside.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

His roar was almost distorted.

The voice grew increasingly shrill.

It sounded more like the cries and screams of a baby.

A pair of eyes split into four pupils, constantly swirling in their sockets, with half of them looking out the car window, as if anticipating something.

"What, are you waiting for your 'family' to come and save you?"

"Unfortunately, this vehicle has been isolated by us, and all signals cannot be sent out, including your biopulse signals."

"Just like in the Covin Group."

"you--"

Before the man could finish speaking, the woman raised her hand and pressed down.

The man's body stiffened abruptly.

The next instant, his eyeballs began to roll wildly, large patches of white showing through his eyes, and his mouth opened wide but he couldn't make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, a golden tentacle slowly probed into his mouth, going deeper and deeper.

At the same time, another, thinner golden tentacle burrowed into his nasal cavity, probing straight into the depths of his skull, and then began to perform some kind of cutting and peeling work at an extremely fast pace.

It looks frightening, but the movements are quite gentle and precise, like a seasoned surgeon performing an extremely delicate operation.

The man's whole body was convulsing.

He made a series of "hoarse" sounds in his throat, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

A moment later, the first tentacle slowly pulled something out from deep in his throat.

First, there's a face.

The thing was no bigger than a fist, with tiny eyeballs that kept rolling, its features twisted and wrinkled, and covered in scarlet mucus, as if it had just been forcibly pulled out of some warm, sticky cavity.

Next is the body.

A body curled up in a ball, not yet fully developed—

Its limbs were short and thin, and its translucent skin revealed fine, mottled patterns. Its lower body was dragged by a long, thin tail-like thing, like an umbilical cord, with the other end still tightly connected to the man's body.

As soon as it was exposed to the air, it immediately started wailing.

It was a sharp, piercing sound.

It was clearly extremely unwilling to be pulled out of the "host's" body like that.

But the woman only glanced at it coldly, without a trace of pity in her eyes.

The next second, the golden tentacles hooking that thing suddenly unfolded, and a huge mouth split open at the end, revealing rings of fine, snow-white teeth.

With a swift opening and closing of its mouth, it swallowed the little creature whole.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Then, the woman and the golden tentacles retreated into the light screen and disappeared from the interface.

It was as if they had never actually been there.

The car fell silent again.

The navigation continued on the interface, and the car smoothly moved along the predetermined route.

The man had been unconscious for an unknown period of time.

Then he suddenly woke up.

"Bell above!"

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his first thought being that he had actually fallen asleep while driving manually, which nearly gave him a fright.

But the next second, he froze.

Because the car wasn't out of control. On the contrary, we were almost home.

"What's going on...?"

The man stared blankly at the familiar house in front of him.

"Has the StarNet been restored?"

He immediately checked the terminal in his hand.

There is still no internet.

The autonomous driving privileges were not restored, and there were no abnormal takeover records in the vehicle system. The car drove back on its own, as it had developed some kind of autonomous consciousness.

In the end, the man could only curse in frustration, attributing it all to some kind of system malfunction.

At least I got home safely.

He pushed open the door and got out of the car, his steps unsteady as he entered the house. He didn't even bother to take off his coat, but went straight to the storage cabinet, pulled out a few bottles of nutrient solution, unscrewed them, and poured them into his mouth.

One can.

Two cans.

Three cans.

It wasn't until he drank several cans that the empty, hollow feeling in his stomach eased a little.

He leaned against the wall, took a breath, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and sweat still beaded on his forehead.

strangeness.

Why am I so hungry?

It's like... something that was originally inside your body was completely uprooted.

……

Within the silver water droplets.

Liu Sheng's mind returned to normal.

"World": [I told you I'd take him home; you don't need to come.]

"I'm just curious about what it's like for someone to return from being parasitized."

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "That's true. It's rare to find a case where we interrupted the parasitic infection in time. It's quite a valuable reference."

Zhang Lan touched all the flower buds on her face. "At least one thing is certain now—if this parasitism is intervened in the early stages, it can indeed prevent the body from being completely rewritten."

"The worst that can happen is that a lot of calories and nutrients are consumed, which can be replenished in time."

"What a pity... Helena, Gavin, and the others..."

Ariel lowered his head.

Zhang Lan raised her hand, which was covered in leaves, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think about it."

"Those who survive are more important."

"The Izetta Corporation is truly sinister." Taibai Sword Immortal said with disgust, "Those who have undergone human modification by them will be left with this contingency plan, making them their puppets at any time."

Ozer's image was deathly pale: "Speaking of which... Bell Labs used the same methods, didn't it?"

That is indeed the case.

Bell Labs, through chip implantation and StarNet interaction, has gradually reshaped human cognition and decision-making through long-term information exchange.

The Izetta Foundation, on the other hand, uses the parasitic "Spirit of Pregnancy" to weave a vast network of living puppets.

These two families are truly invincible on the planet Variegated.

"So... are we really going to fight such a behemoth?" Ozer asked uncertainly.

"They've already come knocking on your door and destroyed your Kovin Group, and you're still thinking of hiding like a coward?" Taibai Sword Immortal said, blowing his nose and glaring.

"No...no...I just..."

"You're already considered a member of Bell Labs. If Bell wins, you can survive with us, so you don't want to take any more risks with us, right?"

Liu Sheng's words exposed Ao Ze's true thoughts.

Oze was enraged.

"So what?"

"Don't you already know that?"

"The promise that victory will grant passage through the Star Gate is not as simple as it seems!"

"As long as they are not of direct bloodline, even if they join this family and win the final victory, it will be useless. Only a portion of them can leave through the Star Gate."

“Of course, this is easy to understand.” Liu Sheng nodded. “Otherwise, there would be no way for higher dimensions to completely restrict the false ‘wars of conquest’.”

Oze's expression froze.

Liu Hongyi also said, "I was also puzzled at the time—if we just superficially gathered enough team members, and actually chose a certain family, staged a fake victory to make that family win, wouldn't we be able to escape together?"

“Obviously, the higher dimensions who want to have some fun won’t leave you any way out.” Liu Sheng shook his head. “Moreover, the higher dimensions want as many people as possible to stay here and wait for their arrival, so there will naturally be corresponding restrictions.”

Zhang Lan stared at Ao Ze and said coldly:

"So you chose to side with Bell Labs, and Helena tacitly approved, allowing Angela to hedge her bets and side with the Izetta Group."

"That's right..."

"I just want to live..."

Since Ozer was in the past memories of the "world" setting, he naturally didn't remember why he made such a choice in the "future".

But once back in the present timeline, he immediately remembered the reason and has been keeping it a secret ever since.

If Angela hadn't finally spoken up, Liu Sheng and the others probably wouldn't have found out.

However, this matter couldn't be kept secret for long.

With Liu Sheng's keen insight, he will always be able to deduce the whole logic from the current situation on Banlanxing.

"So now the nobles on the planet Banlan either choose to live in seclusion and rely on themselves, or they choose to sacrifice their independence and surrender to families like Bell Labs and the Izetta Foundation, which can completely change kinship."

"Of course, there are different levels of surrender."

“Take the Izetta Foundation for example—it’s either used as cannon fodder puppets that can be sacrificed, like those on your island; or it becomes a core that is parasitized by the fetus god, like Helena.”

"But Helena is only a parasite. If she is to become a direct descendant of the Izetta Foundation, she will probably have to make a huge contribution."

For example—

"Offering an 'Unknown' puppet to the conglomerate, right?"

This is how Liu Sheng analyzed things for Angela and Helena, who was lying in bed barely clinging to life.
