Chapter 1149: Are You Imitating Human Intelligence?

Yu Shiran scouted ahead first, with the goal of preventing the whole team from stumbling headlong into some trap. But judging by the outcome, this strategy was actually exploited by the opponent. It wasn’t that Yu Shiran failed to spot the trap, but rather that she was inside it without realizing. In fact, the moment she entered this office building, she vanished from everyone else’s sight… if anyone had been watching her, that is. Unfortunately, a wall blocked their view, and Black Silk trusted too much in their symbiote bond.

However, before encountering this situation, the symbiote was indeed a near-perfect means of communication, its stability even surpassing Ling Mo’s psychic link. For example, at this moment, the Sensing between Black Silk and Yu Shiran still existed, but when it tried to send a signal to Ling Mo, it failed outright. Of course, symbiotes were always a rare and highly limited existence. After all, not every Creature could split itself like Black Silk and then merge with another individual. Although Yu Shiran was no longer under Black Silk’s control, half of Black Silk still resided in her mind, and this was precisely why the Black Silk Team followed right into the snare.

While Yu Shiran was deceived, Black Silk was also fooled by this trap…

The difference was, there were six people in the later Black Silk Team. With people suddenly disappearing around them, surely everyone would quickly realize the situation they were in. But the problem was…

“How do we break out of this?” Black Silk sighed in a rather mature tone, thinking.

“Fool, how are you doing now?” it asked in its mind right after.

Yu Shiran’s voice quickly came: “Huh? I’m totally confused right now…”

“Oh… finally realized it, huh? But don’t worry, even though your head is full of water, at least you’ve still got my little canoe… never mind. Forget I said anything. Go on.” Black Silk couldn’t help but snark. It was just a habit by now…

Luckily, Yu Shiran was used to it too… She went on as if she hadn’t heard: “I can clearly sense you, and I’m sure you’re within five meters in front of me, but it’s strange that I can’t see you… What about the others? Didn’t those humans come in with you?”

“Hmm… Looks like I was right, this trap really is aimed at everyone. In other words, right now, besides you and me still being able to sense each other, everyone else has been isolated.” Black Silk mused.

Hearing that Mu Chen and the others were also here, Yu Shiran immediately took two sharp breaths, then quickly retreated a few steps in Black Silk’s Sensing.

“Hey. I could understand your breathing getting this heavy when facing Ling Mo, since your target is that brush of his… or the retractable remote stick… call it whatever you want…”

“Sausage…” Yu Shiran answered, panting.

“Fine, that’s it. But for these humans… why are you reacting so strongly too? I won’t even mention that sleazy-looking guy… Eating that madman’s meat would drive anyone crazy, right? And that single dog… pfft, single human! Oops, insulted myself again, humans inventing these words is just evil… Anyway, are you sure his left or right hand is still edible? He’s added thirty years’ worth of ‘seasoning’ to it himself! If you keep this up, you’ll get yourself in trouble sooner or later.” Black Silk recalled the conversation it had just overheard. Maybe these humans really did see them as their own kind, but as a mutation creature, Black Silk’s thinking was perfectly in line with its species.

“These humans… if you alert them, it won’t just be you who gets into trouble.”

“Hmph… Are you trying to get me to think about your master?” Yu Shiran’s breathing steadied a bit, but her tone turned a little unfriendly.

“Nonsense!” Black Silk said sternly, “Of course I’m talking about myself. If you die, I’ll be affected too!”

“Uh…” With Yu Shiran’s level of understanding, she felt Black Silk’s answer was a bit odd, but on first hearing, it actually made sense! Still, her attention quickly shifted to another detail: “But… affected? Aren’t we symbiotes? But you…”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. I’m only saying these things because master can’t hear us right now.” Black Silk cut her off.

“Can’t hear? Isn’t that a bad thing?” Yu Shiran’s focus shifted accordingly.

“Of course, but since it’s already happened, we should take advantage of the opportunity to do something else-make the best use of everything. But, fool, you’re hiding something from me, aren’t you? Even though you’re deliberately controlling your thoughts, I can still sense from your abnormal behavior that something’s different about you…” Black Silk suddenly changed its tone and asked.

“You…” Yu Shiran was startled, but after a moment, she muttered, “I’m not really sure myself right now… So, let’s deal with the current situation first. If the Sausage Humans find out you’re using this crisis to satisfy your curiosity, they’ll be really mad. I don’t know about the others, but when he’s mad, he’s really annoying, like slamming the door for no reason… then letting Xia Na in or something…”

At this, Xia Na’s figure involuntarily appeared in her mind… That seemingly pure girl tossed her long hair, then flashed a wicked smile, her gentle eyes narrowing slightly, a faint Red Glimmer shining through, as she slowly walked toward her…

“Ah! What if I get dragged into this!” Yu Shiran cried, covering her eyes.

“Oh! So you’re also taking the chance to say things you usually don’t dare to!” Black Silk sighed after speaking, “Alright then, since you won’t say, I won’t force you. And the fact that you can block my Sensing means this must be something very important to you. Once we’re done here… if you want to tell me, just let me know.”

Yu Shiran fell silent at once…

“Um… are you deliberately imitating a human’s accusatory tone?”

“Tch, you noticed? But… are you deliberately imitating human intelligence? To even say something like ‘accusatory tone,’ you’d have to be at least a middle schooler among humans…” ȑåNＯ฿Ɛȿ

“…I am a middle schooler! I may be short, but I really am in middle school!” Yu Shiran snapped.

“Shh…” Black Silk interrupted her just then, and whispered, “Did you hear something?”
