The conditions were negotiated, and immediately the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Mayfly took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "Mr. Zhou, Lord Canghai lost contact fifty years ago. Was he working for you at that time?"
Regarding the other's indirect probing.
Zhou Yi spoke directly, "I found Lord Canghai from the Evil Brain and brought him out. Because we got along and recognized each other, Lord Canghai joined the company."
"Oh?"
Mayfly appeared to be deep in thought.
Next to him, Lord Canghai spoke, "The chairman doesn't like to beat around the bush. You should speak directly. This will also save us both time."
Mayfly nodded immediately, "Then I will speak directly."
He looked at Zhou Yi, "Back when Lord Canghai disappeared, it was the first time in history that a Weaver lost contact while on duty. But there was no trace of him anywhere, and no SOS messages were found either."
"We used the Great Holy Spirit to turn this world upside down, yet we still found nothing. Eventually, we pinpointed the last place Lord Canghai appeared, but there we could not get any clues."
"In the same year, we discovered through screening that the number of missing Dream Demons that year also dramatically exceeded usual numbers."
"We accept the loss of some of our people. Because there are always Dream Demons who provoke those they shouldn't, get into inextricable trouble, are captured, hunted after being discovered, or even transformed... it's all normal, we respect individual fate."
"But starting from that year, the number of missing Dream Demons has increased year by year."
"Last year, the missing Dream Demons accounted for 1.7% of the total Dream Demon population, which is a staggering number."
Mayfly's expression also became serious, "The birth of Dream Demons already takes a long time, highly linked to the number of consciousnesses in the Great Holy Spirit. The main population of this world is humans, and their number is at a bottleneck, making the emergence of new Dream Demons extremely difficult."
"But no matter how adverse the environment, the number of missing is abnormally high."
"Over the years we have verified that this is indeed not accidental, but stems from the material side, where a new type of monster has appeared. They hunt and devour Dream Demons, preventing them from returning to the Great Holy Spirit and consciousness side."
Mayfly raised his finger and pointed.
A dynamic image appeared in the air.
It was a seabed mountain range, the surface of the mountains pitted and cratered as if covered in coral.
Looking closely, Zhou Yi discovered they were not coral, but individual brains with fine grooves. This Volcano was covered with these brains, giving an indescribably ominous and strange feeling.
"These things are what you bought from the Warlord, the Evil Brains."
Mayfly said solemnly, "They are not just one, but thousands, devouring large numbers of Dream Demons. They naturally strongly restrain our clan, their mechanisms are unclear, and the Weaver cannot cope."
"We searched through the Great Holy Spirit but found no records about them. So we enlisted some helpers, paid a huge price, and captured and destroyed two Evil Brains, but there are too many of them, with extremely intense consciousness capture and control capabilities, posing a severe threat."
"The most troublesome part is that they are a social species. These Evil Brains congregate, their power amplifying each other, now forming a large scale, all reaching Light Core Level, and we are at a loss."
Zhou Yi was not surprised upon seeing this scene.
When he previously purchased the Evil Brain, he had thought that since the Usurper Worms entered this world riding on Brain Arks, they would not be venturing alone, as the Insect Swarm always acts collectively.
Now it seems that's indeed the case.
Zhou Yi asked, "There are so many Evil Brains, were there no signs before?"
Mayfly smiled bitterly.
"Their location is special."
"These Evil Brains occupy this seabed mountain range, located beneath the Dead Sea floor under the Forbidden Continent. The situation of the Forbidden Continent cannot be recorded by the Great Holy Spirit, and that space is like a blind area in this world. It is a high-pressure area because the power of the Forbidden Continent and the Dead Sea pressures each other, creating a difficult zone for survival."
"Their brain strength is Grade A, but their consciousness strength has reached Light Core Level... we don't know how they are formed, speculated to be monsters created by the Forbidden Continent."
"Not so."
Zhou Yi told the other party, "In essence, the Evil Brains are a kind of creature known as Usurper Worms...."
After listening, Mayfly's face became even more solemn, "No wonder we couldn't find any information about them, so they are Otherworld invaders. Using brains as ships, sailing the Dead Sea, their swarm form is truly tricky... It seems there will be more Brain Arks entering from the other side. We must plan ahead as their nests will surely continue to expand outward."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I can help you deal with them."
The other party asked, "Does Mr. Zhou have a way?"
"I have a way. But no guarantees."
"Then what are Mr. Zhou's requirements?"
Zhou Yi said, "The complete information record from when the Circular Flow erupted with the destruction of the old human civilization, I want to see what exactly happened then."
Mayfly showed a helpless expression, "It's not that we don't want to give it to you, but that part of the information cannot be recorded, and we don't have it either."
Zhou Yi frowned, "Can't be recorded?"
The other party explained, "At that time, a large number of Dream Demons were instantly shattered by the eruption of the Circular Flow, but a few survived. Yet the witnesses simply couldn't remember what had happened, as some unknowable force erased all the information from that period."
A wave of disappointment surged in Zhou Yi's heart.
"What we can record is all after the eruption of the Circular Flow. At that time, the Heavenly People first descended, sending out the first Light Core Giants, but these giants couldn't adapt to this world, would be instantly corroded by water and air, and crumble into dust."
Mayfly recalled, "Later on, remnants of various species continued to mutate and evolve slowly into their current forms."
"However, if Mr. Zhou is interested in that part of the information, there is something you might find interesting."
"After the Circular Flow eruption, there was actually a significant upheaval underground."
"At that time, the Dead Sea was gradually forming and stabilizing, crustal movements became very frequent, and a lot of energy erupted from underground and transmitted to the surface. Because we were in the Dead Sea environment, the energy from the material side penetrated into the consciousness side, and the Dream Demons gradually became stronger. At that time, some Dream Demons entered underground to investigate and obtain energy, discovering incredible things..."
The plump Dream Demon paused, his expression solemn, "From the ocean—I mean the normal water ocean, closer to the underground, 10 kilometers from underwater to underground, is the mantle, which has a mixture of solid and liquid and is around 3000 kilometers thick. Any Dream Demons who went into the mantle disappeared."
"That was the earliest large-scale disappearance. In the past during the old human era, the Dream Demons' strength wasn't enough for deep entry into the material side."
"A few Dream Demons stopped at the outer mantle and were spared."
"They described a bizarre phenomenon where, near the mantle area, they couldn't perceive time. Sometimes they felt rejuvenated, and other times they felt they were about to die, falling into extreme time disruption."
Zhou Yi's heart stirred upon hearing this.
Time disruption, jumping between past birth and future death.
This was very similar to the characteristic of the Time Master's organ.
Mayfly continued, "In the outer mantle, this power only affected them slightly. If they delved deeper, they would never find their way back, vanishing completely."
"According to the Dream Demons' judgment at the time, under the mantle is the deepest source of the material side of this world. Before the Circular Flow eruption, such things and forces existed in the Earth Core. The emergence of the Dead Sea and drastic changes in the outside world triggered this power to enter the mantle."
He showed a reminiscing expression, "Later, a gigantic Bone Fish emerged from below the mantle, seemingly acquiring some power within, possibly the strongest life at that time."
"Because Dream Demons at that time hadn't yet conceived Light Core Bodies, they didn't know its strength, and the Weaver couldn't enter the mantle to withstand its power. So later, we deduced that the An Bone Fish was at least close to the level of a Transformer."
"404 City's excavation path and deep exploration from the Bone Fish's surfacing is probably also to access that underground power."
Zhou Yi instantly came to a realization.
The Giant Bone Fish must have completed the fusion with the Time Master's organ underground, allowing it to enter and exit the mantle and possibly even the Earth Core.
Just don't know why there is the power of the Time Master in the Earth Core.
Mayfly said, "That's all we know, which we've told you."
Zhou Yi immediately said, "Thank you. I'll try to handle those Evil Brains, but like I said, there are no guarantees."
"It's already very good of you to help."
Mayfly smiled.
Zhou Yi thought to himself.
The value of the Evil Brains has already been vividly demonstrated before: they can repair brains and stabilize consciousness, which are indispensable materials for treating the Plant People on Jupiter and the Carnivores here.
This batch of Evil Brain swarms comes just in time.
I'll take them!
Cave People taming team, prepare to depart!
