"I don't know." Aphdelota shook her head.

Oh...it turns out that you people in the Immortal Crew Club don't know something? Ke Lan cursed in his heart, and then said: "The meaning of breaking the chapter is that the author stopped the plot suddenly when it reached a critical juncture, leaving a sentence

'I'll update tomorrow' or 'Let's listen to the breakdown next time'... For people who have only read this novel, of course they won't care about this kind of thing. But if they are readers who follow the update, they just want to put a knife to the author's neck.

I forced him to finish explaining the plot."

"Oh, I see."

"I don't understand why you chose to blow up those engine remains... If the things inside could be brought back to the Ark for analysis, wouldn't they be able to at least improve the technological level of the Ark for hundreds of years? Moreover, that thing is a

Look, it was made by the earth’s civilization,

Let’s not talk about how this earth civilization came to Alpha Planet, but at least the characters they used were Chinese characters, not those Alpha characters that were like ghost drawings. It would be more difficult to parse than those relics unearthed from ordinary ruins.

Much easier, right?”

Aphdirota said nothing and looked at Ke Lan silently.

"Also, the monster that the 776 Special Forces Team encountered in the control room last had a human upper body and an octopus lower body - that was the true face of the Alpha Man, right? You already knew it, right?"

Aphrodite still remained silent.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence."

"Yes, that is indeed one of the few Alpha people left on this planet. The immortal crew will have known about their existence before the Ark landed on Alpha Star." Aphdelota said.

"But you did not choose to communicate with them, but instead acquiesced to the special forces executing the mission to kill them."

"I can tell you why the undead crew chose to hide all this." Aphrodite put away her smile and said slowly.

"What?" Hearing that the other party was willing to let go, Ke Lan couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"The reason why we concealed all this, and even sent special forces to erase all traces, was not because we were afraid that people would panic if they knew about it... You should still remember the 'memetic contamination' incident that broke out in the institute, right?"

"Remember." Ke Lan nodded, "As long as you 'see'... no matter how you see it, you will be infected by the 'meme'... Do you mean that the existence of Alpha Man is a similar

'meme'?"

"It's not the Alpha people, but her... the being who is worshiped by the Alpha civilization and is called a 'god'." Aphrodite said, "Any intelligent life that knows the existence of 'her' -

— No matter how you know it, or you know it actively

, regardless of passive knowledge, the consciousness will be subtly eroded by 'her'. This erosion transcends the limitations of time and space... While the consciousness is eroded, the body of the living body will also change, and finally become

Become a monster similar to Alpha Man."

"..." Ke Lan couldn't help but hold his breath and waited quietly for her to continue.

"Although each individual is eroded at a different rate, once this erosion process begins, it cannot be stopped or reversed... The final outcome of the eroded living body is to become a part of 'her' - to

The way of 'nourishing'." Aphdirota said, "The immortal crew will

The members of

Without the coffin of eternal life, our lives will come to an end in a very short period of time."

"That Chiron..."

"You guessed it right, Chiron was eager to fuse with the living armored stomach precisely because his consciousness and body were eroding too quickly. Unfortunately, he failed... and completely turned into a monster."

"But the problem is that there are not many people who know about the 'great god' mentioned by the heretical sects. More than 80% of the people in the Security Bureau and the military know that such a thing exists, right? As for the ordinary people, I want to know about 'her'

There are not a few people who exist, right? Why haven't they been affected in any way?" Ke Lan asked.

"The most important factor that determines the speed of erosion is the depth of cognition...the more you know, the faster the speed of erosion." Aphrodite replied, "The vast majority of people just know that there is such a 'god'

'The existence of symbolic meaning, they don't even know that it is some kind of symbol from a higher civilization

Creatures are still religious idols fabricated by the Alpha people. For this kind of people, the rate of erosion is almost negligible - their lifespan is over before their bodies change, naturally.

Then you won’t realize that you have been corroded by ‘her’.”

"What about me? These changes in my body are also because of...'her'?"

"The process of your erosion is deeper than that of everyone in the current Undead Crew... Maybe it's because you have used the 'Holy Word'... If the process of erosion can be visualized and made into a progress bar, most people will

As long as you are stared at by 'her' for a brief moment, the progress bar will fill up directly... But you seem to be very lucky, and you still maintain your consciousness and reason as a human being. This is a very rare situation."

"It's very rare... Then can you tell me what the 'symbiont' is?"

"Edit Alpha's gene fragments into the genetic sequence of human embryos, and the resulting individual is a symbiote. The symbiote has a human appearance and way of thinking, but it can understand the language and writing of Alpha civilization and can also operate

Some technological creations that can only be driven by Alpha people are indispensable 'tools' in the process of us receiving the legacy of Alpha civilization."

"Besides me and the 'Prophet', how many 'symbionts' are there?"

"We have cultivated more than 15,000 'symbionts' in total. Except for those stillborn fetuses that have stopped developing, the vast majority of 'symbiotes' will be completely eroded by 'her' within twelve hours of waking up.

...We can only treat these 'symbionts' as consumables. But you and Leninger are the two exceptions."

"Laininge...is the original name of 'Prophet'?"

"yes."

"Since I have joined the Undead Crew and have been severely corrupted, why don't you just tell me all the truth?"

"This is to protect you...the more you know, the faster the erosion will progress."
