Chapter 330: Chapter 328 Mysterious Pseudo-Humans_1 Chapter 330: Chapter 328 Mysterious Pseudo-Humans_1 “‘Huo Zheng’… if it truly is an ancient ‘Firebearer,’ then perhaps, mystical things have existed since ancient tis, but for so reason, they all vanished, only to reappear in modern tis?”
Stroking his chin, Colin felt that this possibility seed fairly plausible.
Because many of the anomalies’ appearances are quite archaic…
For instance, the eighteen-ard, cyan-black “0-9 ‘Hunger'” Stone Buddha figure certainly wasn’t its original form, but rather the result of sothing; it was either possessed by or confined in the stone statue, causing it to appear that way.
“From the situation and experiences in ‘Script City,’ it’s clear that so executives within the company are keen on transforming anomalies into ‘humans.’ ‘Yukionna’ is a classic example of such a transformation…”
“Yukionna’s humanity has suppressed her instincts, and is gradually taking over that part of her. If one day she fully masters her own strength and doesn’t lose control easily, her base level of power is probably around Seventh or Eighth Level…”
“If such thods have existed since ancient tis, then ‘Gluttonous Buddha’ is likely another attempt, but it seems that ‘Gluttonous Buddha’ has failed…”
Colin was curious; if today’s thods were learned from ancient tis, then the ancient mysteries were there, but why did they suddenly disappear?
And why have they reappeared in modern tis…
However, Colin rembered that there was no certain explanation for this in the whole world, so he didn’t think too much about it.
As for that “Huo Zheng,” besides what he could find online, he also had Qin Chuan look for it. If he could find it, great; if not, it didn’t matter…
“It seems like it’s not that important after all, finding it would probably just satisfy my curiosity.”
Shaking his head, Colin prepared to sleep, then get up to play so gas for fun.
He had a premonition that he might not have a chance to relax like this in the future.
But just as he lay down and was about to close his eyes, his expression subtly changed, and he reached out to take out a Small Parchnt that held a notification of a task assignnt:
[Weekly Task: “Download a special software and join it to observe the mbers within.”]
“The timing of this Small Parchnt’s weekly routine task is really spot-on.”
Colin sat up reluctantly and proceeded to open the “Task Bar” to check the details.
The task requirents were almost effortless, just like the task title said: find a special software, join and infiltrate within, monitor and observe the mbers inside, probably checking it once a day for a week…
If circumstances permit, try to make contact with the mbers inside.
All the thods to find the software were already specified; what Colin had to do was just follow the instructions.
Soon, he had completed the installation and successfully logged in.
“I wonder how the company acquired this account, but is this software imitating a penguin?”
Seeing the software that looked almost identical to a penguin but was called Emperor Penguin, Colin couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
There were no friends in the account, but there was one group that was ssaging @everyone.
There seed to be about three hundred people in the group, apparently in the midst of a class.
At the sight of the course content, Colin almost lost his composure—”How to laugh correctly like a human?”
An Administrator with a middle-parted Little Chicken avatar was constantly posting ssages:
“…How to produce a healthy laugh that won’t be detected has always been a problem for many of our classmates. In formal occasions when everyone around us is laughing, it would be inappropriate for us not to, but due to lack of skill, so classmates end up making hideous laughing sounds like ‘huff-huff’ or ‘quack-quack’, which raises suspicions…”
“Today’s lesson is about teaching you all how to laugh like a human, politely yet elegantly, with a clear, crisp sound…”
“First and foremost, the essence of laughing is the use of air. Generally, there are two laughing modes, let’s start with the easier one, the jet-style laugh…”
…
“Huh? What’s all this?”
Colin clutched his phone, unable to comprehend but deeply shocked by what he saw.
After briefly observing, he could almost certainly conclude that the group mbers were not human, but a special species hidden within human society…
Currently, it seed they were trying to find ways to blend into human society better.
And today’s lesson was about “laughter.”
A bunch of individuals under the guidance of the center-parted Little Chicken Administrator eagerly tried out loud in the voice chat, uttering various crazy and chaotic frightening laughs, which were unsettling just to listen to.
A vague and indescribable expression appeared involuntarily on Colin’s face.
It was clear that those flagged by the company surveillance, whose species was unknown, were indeed trying hard.
Afterwards, he browsed through previous files in the group, coming across titles like “How to Cry Like a Human,” “Decoding Puzzling Human Behavior,” “108 Small Tricks to Beco Human,” “How to Find a Human Mate,” “How to Find a Suitable Job?,” “Computer C Language: From Beginner to Earning Money,” “How to Evade Official Hunters,” and a ton of other files…
“Tsk… the more I look, the more amusing it seems…”
After investigating for a while, Colin felt more and more ambivalent, first at the unexpected infiltration of so many things into human society, and second at the abnormal style of these creatures.
If the file nas had been “How to Cook and Eat Humans,” “108 Clever Tips for Consuming Humans,” “How to Dispose of Fresh Humans Without Being Discovered,” etc., they would probably have been more on-brand…
“Just from this first contact, these creatures don’t seem very harmful.”
Colin made a rough judgnt and then continued to lurk in the group, eavesdropping on their activities.
Finally, after about an hour, the day’s lesson ca to an end.
Then everything moved into a free discussion phase…
Many were summarizing the difficulties they encountered while practicing “laughter.” Colin glanced through and felt there were no substantial contents, so he prepared to end his observation and go back to sleep, without disturbing these anomalies.
But just at that mont, an odd one in the studying crowd suddenly blurted out:
“Help! I’ve been abducted into a scam den, can soone co rescue ?”
“@Mister Weirdo: Huh, weren’t you running your script murder store quite well? How did you get mixed up with scams, what happened?”
The group’s center-parted Little Chicken Administrator asked curiously.
anwhile, Colin, who was watching from behind the screen, also noticed the words “script murder store.”
“You’ve got to be kidding…”
Colin also rembered sothing at this point; it seed that the owner of the script murder store hadn’t been caught yet today…
The person had said they had urgent matters to attend to back ho two days before the incident and ended up going who knows where.
Initially, it was assud to be a coincidence, but now it appeared to be a deliberate escape…
“@Mister Kun, the recent batch of rchandise that absorbs psychic energy has run into issues; I was discovered and hurriedly fled, planning to hide out in Southeast Asia. But as soon as I arrived, I fell for it. They initially just wanted to participate in scams, but because my blood happened to match soone’s, they now want to harvest my kidney, what should I do…”
