Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

Xia Dou nodded seriously, "If you ever run into him again, run as far away as you can."

"Did he help treat your injuries?" Bai Yuekui suddenly asked.

Although she remained tight-lipped about the details of Tasia's disappearance, based on the accounts of Sui Xing and others, she could roughly guess that Tasia had been rescued by Qin Song.

The source energy in this body has become much stronger, which is obviously related to Qin Song.

“That’s right, he helped me deal with that unknown energy, but before his brain injury was even treated, that little girl was already making a fuss about going back to the village.” Lorna’s tone was tinged with dissatisfaction.

She and that guy haven't had enough fun yet.

Bai Yuekui was silent for a moment, then said, "Come with me to the lab."

She wanted to study carefully how Qin Song handled the unknown energy.

Many people in Dragon Bone Village have malfunctioned due to their supernatural abilities. If a cure can be developed, the village's strength will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Lorna nodded and followed. In the village, only Bai Yuekui could suppress her, not because of any personal charm, but because she was simply no match for him.

After walking a few steps, she turned back and smiled at Xia Dou, "Little Xia Dou, wait for me to come back..."

Xia Dou stuck out her tongue. You'd better not come back.

After seeing the other person walk away, Xia Dou thought for a moment and ran to the archives of Longgu Village.

"Grandma Qiushi, I want to see information about the old world."

An old woman sat cross-legged on a floating frisbee and floated down from above the bookshelf. "Little Xia Dou, what's wrong? Have you finally decided to study?"

Xia Dou pouted and puffed out her little chest, "I'm not little anymore."

"Heh! A 20-year-old little girl, she's not young anymore... Tell me, what do you want to see?"

"Do you have any information about the soul?"

Qiu Shi pondered for a moment, “The soul is a very ancient word. I have only seen it in the ancient documents of the Heluo civilization. Now it is generally called the life essence, but it seems that there are still some differences between the life essence and the soul.”

"What's the difference?"

"It is said that the life essence is a collection containing the soul and the essence of life. When the Devouring Beast absorbs the life essence of humans, the life essence of the human body is extracted at the same time, which is why it turns into flesh and soil. I don't know the specifics, but let me find the information for you first."

Soon, a thick stack of books was placed on the table.

Xia Dou scratched his head, "Why are there so many?"

Qiu Shi flicked Xia Dou on the forehead, "You think studying is easy? When we were little, I told you to read more books, but you just wanted to play games."

"Oh dear, so now I need to work hard and improve myself, right?"

Xia Dou began to quickly flip through the books, and only breathed a sigh of relief as evening approached.

"Grandma Qiushi, I've finished reading..." she said, skipping away from the archives.

Autumn fruit drifted to the table, looked at the open book, and its gaze fell on a few words: Soul Resonance.

Although this book was compiled after the apocalypse, the information inside is taken from the oldest documents of the Heluo civilization.

It is said that even the Heluo civilization did not fully understand the theories contained within.

She frowned. Could it be that Xia Dou's potential had advanced?

He immediately shook his head; no matter what, it was a good thing.

At this moment, Qin Song had just finished dealing with the last group of beasts, and deliberately left two snake dogs behind, activating his Mind Control to take them under his control.

The snake-dog's fluorescent tentacles slowly began to flutter.

“Sir, increase the frequency,” Jarvis reminded him.

Qin Song immediately did as instructed.

A short while later, the sound of running could be heard in the distance.

A dozen or so snake-dogs are rushing this way.

Qin Song immediately perked up, "This method works!"

That's right, he's trying to control the snake dog to summon its companions.

The group of snakes and dogs in the cave gave him a heads-up: Xia Dou could control the snakes and dogs to summon them, so his mind control ability certainly could too.

Qin Song quickly killed the group of snake dogs.

"Sir, the summoning frequency of each type of Devouring Beast is different. Please provide more sample data..."

Qin Song immediately began searching for other types of Devouring Beasts.

Qin Song mastered the summoning frequency of six kinds of Devouring Beasts, including Snake Dog, Earth Roar, and Spiked Eel.

I gained a total of 4 points of wish power in one day, which further improved my monster-killing efficiency.

"It's a pity we didn't find the metamorphosis form."

If we could control the metamorphosis form, the summoned Devouring Beasts would definitely be more numerous and stronger.

Jarvis suddenly alerted, "Human traces detected."

Qin Song looked around and realized that he had actually arrived near the territory of Dragon Bone Village.

He immediately moved closer quietly.

"Sister Shattered Star, was Lorna really taken away by the boss?"

"What? You want to play games with her?"

"No, no, no..." Xia Dou quickly waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "How about I store my game console with you?"

Sui Xing chuckled, "Don't worry, the boss said she'll be going into seclusion with her for a while to try and help Mark activate his potential as soon as possible."

Xia Dou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"

She decided to play through all the newly bought games in the next few days, so that even if Lorna smashed the console, her losses wouldn't be that great.

"Alright, that concludes today's patrol. We found nothing unusual, let's head back." Suixing turned and walked towards the village.

Xia Dou was about to follow when she suddenly noticed something moving in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a snake-dog.

She instinctively wanted to speak, but then noticed the snake-dog wink at her before turning away.

Xia Dou quickly covered her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Suixing turned around.

"Ah, it's okay..."

Xia Dou quickly followed, but kept looking back in the direction where the snake dog had disappeared.

Back in Dragon Bone Village, Xia Dou felt increasingly uneasy.

The Devouring Beast will attack as soon as it discovers humans; she and Shattered Star had not activated Return to Origin before.

Clearly, there's something wrong with that snake-dog.

"Could it be the one from yesterday?"

After hesitating for a long time, she quietly slipped out of the village and came to the place where the snake-dog was found. After searching for a long time, she finally found the snake-dog in a secluded corner.

The snake-dog also spotted her and stretched out its long head to look at her.

Xia Dou nervously pulled out her pistol.

The snake-dog winked at her again, then turned and disappeared into the pile of rubble.

Xia Dou gritted her teeth and followed.

Finally, in front of a cave, the snake-dog squatted on the ground and looked at her.

Xia Dou waved hesitantly, "Hello."

To everyone's surprise, the snake-dog also raised its front paws and waved at her.

Xia Dou's eyes immediately lit up with surprise, "Is it you?"

Chapter 93 Mind Control

The snake-dog nodded.

Xia Dou tried to walk over with her short legs, but then she suddenly remembered that the other party was a dangerous Devouring Beast, so she stopped in her tracks.

The next second, something unexpected happened; the snake-dog howled and pounced.

"Ah!" Xia Dou was so frightened that she turned pale and sat down on the ground with her hands covering her head, forgetting to even fire her gun.

The expected pain did not come. She slowly opened her eyes and found the snake-dog staring down at her menacingly, its tentacles waving incessantly.

"No, don't suck me..." Xia Dou said, trembling.

Just then, a coughing sound came from inside the cave.

The snake-dog immediately returned to the cave entrance.

Xia Dou turned her head and saw a person walking out of the cave.

"Charlatan! It's you!" Xia Dou jumped up, took a few steps back, and looked on warily.

She hadn't forgotten Bai Yuekui's warning: run as far away from this guy as possible.

"Hello, Xia Dou," Qin Song said with a smile.

“Hello…” Xia Dou looked at Qin Song, then at the snake-dog lying on the ground.

Qin Song patted the snake dog's head. "This little guy is my pet. His name is Sang Biao."

Xia Dou blinked. Pet? Sang Biao?

She suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday, yesterday..."

Qin Song smiled and said, "Was that your consciousness inside Sang Biao's body yesterday?"

Xia Dou nodded subconsciously, and then her face turned red instantly.

I thought it was a Devouring Beast, but it turned out to be a person.

Wouldn't that mean the other party could hear my entire reaction?

Xia Dou wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right now.

"I have a question for you. When you control the Devouring Beast, do you know how to summon its companions?"

"That's something I just realized."

"Can you teach me?"

Qin Song wanted to see if there was any difference between summoning that controlled the mind and summoning that controlled source energy.

Perhaps we can combine the two approaches.

Xia Dou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

If I disagree and the other party suddenly attacks, how can I escape in this desolate wilderness with my short legs?

Besides, she had some ulterior motives...

"Come with me..." Qin Song beckoned.

Xia Dou followed Qin Song toward the cave, her little feet barely touching the ground. When they passed the snake and dog, she deliberately tilted her head to the side.

He can only control the Devouring Beast through a device-assisted connection. How did this charlatan manage to do that?

The cave was brightly lit.

Xia Dou's eyes lit up, and she ran up to it, exclaiming, "Wow! Is this a Nintendo Famicom?"

Qin Song nodded with a smile.

Before Xia Dou arrived, he had already prepared the cave, and even brought out the game console from the childcare supplies package.

"Wow! There's a PS1 and a PSP too!" Xia Dou's eyes lit up.

These classic game consoles were rare even before the apocalypse, mostly residing in museums or private collections, given that brain-computer interface games were already quite sophisticated at the time.

Qin Song looked at Xia Dou in front of him. She had cherry lips, a delicate face, and big eyes.

She wore long, black, flowing hair with bangs, a white summer outfit on top, and a short skirt on the bottom, revealing a pair of smooth, jade-like legs.
