Mu was waiting for the other party to give him an explanation before considering whether to eliminate this threat.

But the weird thing is, I should be much stronger than this guy, so why do I feel palpitations in front of her?

Not only himself, Mu had noticed that even Mortis was trembling.

"This guy is so weird! He seems very strange!" Mortis couldn't help but yelled in Mu's consciousness.

Hatsune took two deep breaths and exhaled, clearing away her tension, then sat down across from Mu.

She took off the black mask and red baseball cap, revealing a face that was almost identical to Chu Hua's.

"There is a symbiote underground... underground..." Hatsune said in a voice so soft that it was almost imperceptible. If it weren't for Mu's excellent hearing, she probably wouldn't be able to hear what this guy was saying at all.

Underground? What underground? Did she mean downtown? Mu began to think rapidly about the meaning of this sentence.

Normally, there should be a lot of monsters and demons in the lower city, but there shouldn't be any symbiotes.

But his previous experience in the outer city proved that there might be quite a few symbiotes wandering outside.

After gathering his thoughts, Mu continued to ask, "How many are there? Where exactly are they? How did you know?"

"I...I found this in downtown the other day..." Hatsune took out a card and handed it to Mu.

Mu recognized what this was, the storage module of the Mujica Group's military mecha.

After inserting it into the reading device and connecting it to the mobile phone, Mu saw a scene that shocked her.

"Where do so many symbiotes come from in downtown?" Even Mortis was shocked.

Mu took a deep breath. Although entering the downtown area without permission was a serious crime, the other party did not spread the news about this thing. Instead, he took it directly to the Fengchuan Building and chose to hand it over to Xiangzi. This was obviously a very wise decision, and perhaps it could be considered as making amends.

"You haven't had any contact with these symbiotes, have you?" Mu finished watching the content of the video. There was no scene of Hatsune Miku in it. Considering that it might have been cut out by her, Mu still asked this question.

"No...no." Hatsune shook her head vigorously.

lie.

Both Mu and Mortis could come to this conclusion. After the other said this, his heartbeat obviously quickened.

"Then you are not possessed by the symbiote?" Mu asked again.

"Ken...definitely not!" Hatsune's tone was more determined this time.

Still lying.

Mu noticed that although Hatsune's tone became more determined, her eyes became more wandering.

Mu stood up and tried to hold Hatsune's hand: "Let's go upstairs and contact Xiangzi."

But when she saw Mu⑼LingLiu俬LiuQiVIII Erba trying to get close to her, Hatsune suddenly slapped Mu's outstretched hand away, flipped over the sofa, and backed away.

"Don't... don't touch me!"

Mu could see that the other party was still afraid of him as before, but there was a lot more warning in her eyes.

At the same time, his hand that was slapped away was feeling a burning pain, as if the other party was not slapping him with a flesh palm, but sulfuric acid.

Mortis couldn't help but crawl out of Mu's body. The dark green slime-covered monster-like face screamed at Hatsune in fear, "What the hell is inside you?"

(P.S. Could you please post more comments and reviews to criticize this book? φ(ω*) , and also tell me if there's anything wrong with the writing. I feel like there are so many shortcomings, but no one seems to criticize it (〃?-ω?) )

Book 41: The Book of Fears: .causa (Cause)

Mu now understood why he felt palpitations because of Hatsune Miku's presence.

She could sense that her body had not reacted to the other person's touch, and that both she and Mortis were hurt.

"This guy now possesses a symbiote that can penetrate the other host and directly kill the symbiote?!" Mu was secretly shocked in his heart.

As long as they become one with the host, these offspring symbiotes will acquire the immortality of the "mother", and there is no way to erase their existence.

But it was obvious that something was wrong with the person in front of him.

Mu couldn't smell the scent of her own kind on Hatsune Miku, but she could feel that there seemed to be something like a symbiote in her body.

It seems that only Xiangzi can solve it

Bringing Hatsune to the door of Xiangzi's office, Mu knocked heavily.

"Please come in..." A weak voice came from inside the door, which sounded like Hai Ling.

"Isn't it Saki?" Mu asked in confusion. Generally speaking, Xiangzi would be here handling official documents during this period of time and would not have any other arrangements.

Although she didn't see Xiangzi early this morning, she didn't expect that Xiangzi would even skip his work. This was very wrong.

"I... I only meet Xiangzi..." Hatsune seemed to not want more people to know that she was walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Then you stay here first, I'll go in and take a look." After Mu said this to the uneasy Hatsune, he pushed open the door and went straight into Xiangzi's rather large office.

The decoration here is still as simple and elegant as before, but the piles of documents make this place no longer as clean and tidy as usual.

And the person sitting in Xiangzi's seat was not Xiangzi, but Hailing.

Miao Meng also moved a table and sat next to Hai Ling.

Their desks were piled with documents, which they were reading and signing one by one.

"Muzi? Is the inspection over? Then go back to your room and rest today. Remember not to run around..." Miao Meng was busy reviewing the documents in front of her, and arranging Muzi's next schedule in a tired tone.

"Meow Meng, Hai Ling, why are you here? Where is Saki?" Mu asked his doubts.

"Xiangzi has a very important job to complete now, so I am taking her shift now..." Hailing replied. Mu felt that visible fatigue had appeared on her face in such a short time.

"Then Miao Meng is..."

"She's covering for me..." Seeing that Mu still had questions, Hai Ling added.

"When will you two get married..."

Miao Meng stretched out her right hand and pointed toward the wall: "The floor mat has been moved in. I guess we'll have to live here for the next few days..."

"You are not hiding anything from me, are you?" Mu said suddenly.

Hai Ling lowered her head, making sure that the cold sweat on her forehead would not be seen by the other party.

She held up a document and placed it in front of Mu's line of sight. "Yes, this is 'A response to the suggestion that all elementary school students should have an autumn outing in addition to the spring outing.' How about you sign it?"

"..." Mu was speechless. It seemed that these two guys could not help her. She had to find a solution on her own.

……

"Why are there so many... How long will it take to finish reviewing them? (T_T)" Miao Meng wailed as she looked at the vast sea of ​​applications, reports, plans, and items before her. She couldn't imagine how Xiangzi could easily complete all of these within an eight-hour workday.

"What you have in front of you is my daily workload..." Hailing corrected Miao Meng's mistaken fantasy, "This pile of mine is Xiangzi's daily routine."

"I think it's truly incredible that you can finish reading all this just by working a few hours overtime every day," Miao Meng muttered, then glanced at the number of documents in front of Hai Ling. It was about three times the amount she had...

How on earth did Xiangzi manage to finish reviewing all this? Miao Meng felt that if she were to do it herself, even if she stayed buried there for 24 hours without food or water, she would not be able to stop these life-threatening papers from piling up.

"Wait." Miao Meng suddenly thought of a question, "When we went to attend the joint meeting of giant companies, were you the only one who handled all these huge amounts of documents?"

"How is that possible?" Hai Ling replied angrily. The pressure from work was beginning to affect her mental state. "It's the construction of the new urban area that has caused the surge in official documents. Originally, Xiangzi and I only had to review one-fifth of the total now."

"Oh...it hurts..." Miao Meng muttered, and then signed her name on the "Greening Planting Plan for XX Street, XX Street, Xincheng District" in her hand. Miao Meng felt that this kind of thing should not be approved by the group's directors.

However, the flow of all resources within Tokyo must ultimately be subject to review and approval by the highest levels. This is the purpose of Xiangzi's rule, which is to eliminate unnecessary waste and corruption.

"Stop complaining. You'll only be busy for these two days, but I still have to work for decades." Hai Ling said, while approving the page in front of her, "Notice on the Temporary Implementation of a Curfew in the Old Town of Tokyo."

"I hope Muzi finds out that we are hiding something from her. If she finds out, I wonder if she will try to do something..." Miao Meng was a little worried.

"As long as I can keep her stable for a few days, I have my own way." Hai Ling's tired face finally showed a trace of an incomprehensible smile.

……

"Xiangzi doesn't look like he's here." Mu said to Hatsune who was waiting at the door after coming out of the office.

"Then I..."

Before Hatsune could finish her words, Mu interrupted her.

"I won't tell anyone about you except Xiangzi. In exchange, I want you to leave a little blood, and I will find out the cause of the abnormality."

Hatsune opened her mouth to say something, but before a word came out, she closed it.

This does seem to be the best solution, although it still makes people feel a little uneasy.

"Go back and get ready now. I'll go down town with you tonight to find out what's going on." Mu then said to Hatsune.

"What? But...but it's very deep down there..." Seeing that Mutsuki also wanted to experience the power of the symbiote army, Hatsune immediately tried to dissuade him.

Mu didn't care about the other person's nervousness and worry, and comforted him in a firm tone: "That thing on your body can protect you, right? Then you don't have to worry about my problems."

……

After letting Hatsune go back, Mu returned to the top floor of the Toyokawa Building and entered Xiangzi's laboratory with Hatsune's blood sample.

She believed that the equipment here should be enough to help her figure out the secrets of the other person's body.

At this time, m'wheel (a) Qi-II Pa Si? seemed to come out.

"That guy must be hiding something." She said to Mu.

"At least all the important information has been told to us. The remaining details are probably harmless personal privacy." While fiddling with the instruments in the laboratory, trying to analyze the cause of the blood abnormality, Mu told Mortis that he was not interested in the clone's private life.

"You clearly thought about killing Spider-Woman before." Mortis complained in a low voice.

"But she is no longer Spider-Woman. Since she doesn't block our way and is willing to stay away from Chuhua on her own initiative, why should I make things difficult for an ordinary citizen of Tokyo?" Mu said.

In fact, she knew in her heart why she had not been able to catch this guy before. It was probably because Xiangzi was secretly protecting her.

This is indeed annoying, but since she hasn't taken the initiative to look for Xiangzi for so long, Mu feels that he shouldn't dwell on it.

And Hatsune Miku did bring very important information, important enough to make Mu put aside other things and deal with this crisis first.

Earlier, on the way to Xiangzi's office, Mu asked Hatsune about her specific experience.

Miku's explanation was this: two weeks ago, one of her pets slipped into the lower city while she wasn't paying attention, and she followed it in. There, she encountered a symbiote-like spider monster. Although she managed to kill it, she was bitten by it herself. After a few days of dizziness and a high fever, she tried to find her pet spider again, but on the way down, she encountered a disabled robot, and then encountered an army of symbiotes. Miku said she didn't remember anything else. The next day, she woke up in her shabby dorm room, and on her desk, she found a piece of paper covered in scribbled characters.

Mu can tell that this story is half true and half false. Hatsune's motivation for entering the lower city sounds ridiculously false, but her experiences are probably true, such as the bitten by a symbiotic spider monster. Without specific experience, it is difficult to make such a vivid story.

Mu Ye carefully read the piece of paper that Hatsune handed to him.

That unknown being was probably writing for the first time, so it was so "free and unrestrained".

A lot of the content on the paper was difficult to recognize. The few sentences Mu could understand were "read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks, and get more sleep" and "stay away from pathogens when nothing happens, serum will protect you when something happens"... These were all, uh, quite useful suggestions?
