How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

Because this is something we really can't beat.

"If I'm not mistaken, you and the organization are from the same place, right?"

Xiao Liu exclaimed in surprise, "That organization is also made up of time travelers?!"

The insect standing to the side was speechless.

Suddenly, I realized that although Xiao Liu was more well-behaved than Qi Pu, he really wasn't very bright.

"It's obviously impossible. This is just a guess based on her own understanding," Chongchong complained.

"So, what's the name of that organization you're talking about?"

“An organization is an organization, it doesn’t have a code name.” The castle owner shook her head. Although she was completely confused herself, she tried her best to cooperate with Miss Fox and the others.

There's no way around it, we really can't beat them.

"As far as I know, only the organization and the demons appeared suddenly a hundred years ago."

demon?

This keyword contains a lot of information.

“But we can be sure that there’s no such unit as ‘cultivator’ in this world,” Xiao Liu said, scratching his head as he reported to Miss Fox.

The system has simple detection functions.

Moreover, when the castle owner mentioned demons, he showed no emotion towards them, clearly indicating that he did not take them seriously.

However, she herself only had a larger life force than ordinary people and some special organs in her body, but there were no traces of energy system cultivation.

In other words, demons wouldn't be demons either.

What are demons?

"Demons are man-eating monsters!"

At that moment, a trembling maidservant approached, her voice filled with hatred.

Yes, they also harbored deep hatred for the castle's owner.

"Are you a demon?" Xiao Liu asked.

The castle owner glanced at the maid girl, then at the thoughtful Miss Fox.

Shake his head.

"I am an Awakened One, and I was once a soldier of the organization."

The maid was immediately shocked and looked at the castle owner in disbelief.

"Ha, you never expected this, did you? The one you regard as a demon was once a warrior who protected humanity and eradicated demons," the castle owner sneered.

This sounds like a story of a dragon slayer becoming a dragon himself.

Miss Fox also understood that this was the reason behind the mottled life force on the castle owner.

"A concept that grants the user the power to fight demons by fusing with their flesh and blood, but crosses a certain threshold and becomes a new demon?"

There's a subtle sense of familiarity with this setting.

I always feel that once I reveal the answer, it will give me that familiar feeling that reveals my age.

"If nothing unexpected happens, then the demons and monsters are probably all created by that organization."

"..." The castle owner paused for a moment, then nodded. "All the clues I know point to the organization being the creator of the demons."

Well, it really is true.

"Then one last question: Do you Awakened Ones retain your memories of your human past after awakening?"

The castle owner replied, "But it feels more like someone else's memory."

"I see, that's not surprising."

Miss Fox nodded knowingly.

She had this guess after examining the castle owner's physical structure, and unsurprisingly, it turned out to be true.

Chapter 1153 The Giant Looks a Bit Like

Human emotions are formed by the secretion of hormones in the body.

Moreover, memories are not entirely stored in the brain; various organs within the body store some habits to varying degrees.

During the adjustment period after an organ transplant, the recipient may develop a temperament similar to that of the transplanted organ, and their personality may eventually become a blend of the personalities of the two individuals.

This is just an organ transplant.

Those who awaken not only have their body cells completely replaced, but they also have several extra internal organs.

When secretion levels change drastically, recalling past memories can lead to a lack of emotional connection and an inability to empathize with one's past self, resulting in becoming a completely different person.

"It can be said that after awakening, one is no longer human."

However, Miss Fox didn't care about that.

What I care about most is that even though I changed bodies before and after the time travel, my personality didn't change.

However, considering that his soul strength far exceeds that of his body, it seems not incomprehensible.

If the soul and body are synchronized, then the body's influence should be greater.

"If the extra organs are removed, will the self-awareness revert to that of a human?" Bug asked, before grabbing the cannibalistic lady and pinning her down.

By the time the castle owner realized what was happening, it was too late. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from the insect's hands.

Like a pair of iron clamps, they held her firmly in place.

"That Miss Fox, shouldn't we ask for information before conducting the experiment? She seems to know a lot..." Xiao Liu suggested timidly.

That's certainly true.

A little thought reveals that this information carries significant weight in this world, suggesting that when this cannibalistic woman was still human, she must have held a high status or possessed some special talent.

Miss Fox observed that she had exceptional control over her own body.

He casually tapped her a few times, suppressing the output of several unnecessary organs in her body, and then handed her over to Xiao Liu to take back to the base for professional treatment.

Anyway, according to the information from this castle owner, there are quite a few creatures like her in this world, so there's no rush for experiments; we can take our time.

"So, what's the story with the people in this castle?"

He spread his spiritual senses out and scanned the area, discovering that apart from some farmland where crops were grown, the area around the castle was mostly desolate mountains and wilderness rarely visited by humans.

The servants in the castle are also not very old, mostly under twenty years old, and most of them are malnourished children, with very few adults.

“Because we’re all just food that guy stole from different villages and raised in captivity,” the maid girl said.

She was still in a daze, clearly the information given by the castle owner was beyond her processing capacity.

However, she was quite cooperative with Miss Fox.

It didn't take much effort to gain a basic understanding of how the world works.

Wu

It's unclear when exactly it started, but powerful demons that feed on human organs began attacking humanity, plunging the world into crisis and causing widespread fear.

At this critical moment, the organization appeared, acting as a savior and leading a group of warriors who had gained power by fusing with the flesh and blood of demons to defeat the demons. Afterwards, they continued to roam various human settlements to eliminate newly emerging demons in order to protect the peace of humanity.

Although the organization accepts money, it has always enjoyed a good reputation among ordinary people.

"Ah... the issue of gaining power by fusing with the flesh and blood of demons, but has no one thought about why a warrior who has only fused with a portion of the flesh and blood is stronger than a demon?"

Faced with this question, the maid shook her head blankly, seemingly not quite understanding what Miss Fox was saying.

If the news that the demons were fabricated by the organization hadn't shattered her image of the organization, she might have argued that the organization must have some secret technology to achieve such a reversal.

"Wait a mininute."

Miss Fox thought for a moment and asked, "What is the literacy rate in human society?"

The maid replied, "Only wealthy merchants can read."

I understand. The organization must have monopolized knowledge.

The few literate people were concentrated in the business community, making it even less likely that they could form a large-scale resistance force.

This castle is likely a remnant of human civilization before the emergence of demons, which is why the area around the castle is now deserted.

"Mom, judging from the current intelligence, it doesn't seem like this organization's intention is to gain control." Chongchong sorted out her thoughts and considered things for her mother.

"If an organization wanted to control humanity, it could easily do so, but it didn't. That organization simply kept people scattered in various towns and cities, making it difficult to transmit information, and occasionally released some demons to collect funds."

"So, this organization must be conducting some kind of experiment."

"Constantly creating demons, creating warriors..."

"They probably... want to create controllable Awakened Ones."

Chongchong looked towards the teleportation portal, where Xiao Liu was reporting to the troop commander stationed there.

The maid girl said that the organization's warriors far surpassed ordinary demons.

The Awakened Ones, known among the common people as those with abnormal appetites, are also perceived as demons, but in reality, they are demonized warriors.

After a warrior is demonized, their power will increase dramatically, but their self-awareness will also be demonized, turning them from a human into a monster that eats humans, and what was once controllable becomes uncontrollable.

"Ordinary demons are the most primitive version, while warriors are version 2.0, controllable but not completely controllable."

"The organization's goal should be to find a way to break through to version 3.0, a controllable awakened one."

"That means this place is very likely just a continent used as an experimental field, and there is a world outside."

Miss Fox nodded; this was indeed a huge island shaped like a cross.

It must have been an experimental site selected by the organization.

"He looks a little like a giant..."

After thinking for a moment, Miss Fox changed her approach, "The giant looks a bit like this!"

The information she had gathered about this world gave her a subtle sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it a long time ago.

Therefore, this must be a rather old work, at least earlier than Attack on Titan.
