Chapter 1638: Chapter 626: The Temptation of the Demon

Mum Wei Wu shouted incessantly for three whole days until the cries from its mouth gradually became hoarse.

It shut off its connection with the outside world, and had no intention of communicating with the humans who had already grasped its language, using these utterly meaningless cries to vent instead.

On rare occasions, it regained clarity, but it did not stop this self-destructive behavior and instead cried out with even more determination.

Perhaps it finally realized that its full arsenal of curses not only failed to devastate the native humans but instead built a bridge for communication between the two species, inadvertently becoming a disgraceful traitor.

But what is disgraceful?

In any case, it was trying to use some truly meaningless syllables to mislead the humans.

Of course, it was dreaming.

Its rationality still reminded it that once communication was possible, the Furry Whisker 331 people would truly have the possibility of betraying the Mother Empress.

Genetic information was influencing its thoughts, compelling it to instinctively take action to avoid this possibility.

What it should do now is return to its species, use pheromones to command its kin, urging all who have evolved, who possess similar complex cognitive abilities and language skills, to immediately commit suicide, and then die itself, naturally severing the path of betrayal.

Yet, there was another contradictory emotion in its heart.

It was reluctant, unwilling.

Even though it knew that the future of the Furry Whisker 331 people remained bleak, it didn’t want to bury even this dim future with its own hands.

Therefore, its anguished howls were also a temporary escape, much like humans fainting to evade pain.

Meanwhile, it also realized that it should not feel sad that the organs of its offspring were removed and attached to its body, but should instead be happy, as this inherently aligns with the species instinct of the Furry Whisker 331 people.

But it could not restrain this sadness and hatred, nor could it take revenge, and it knew it shouldn’t harbor these emotions either.

It felt perplexed.

Indeed, the great Mother Empress once said that humans of the Empire and the Ascendants had irreconcilable hatred. Instinct from the genetic information was constantly instilling the deadly viciousness and cruelty of the Empire’s humans.

But the first thing those two said after grasping its language was an apology.

It didn’t understand why these enemies would apologize.

This phenomenon contradicted the instinctive cognition of Mum Wei Wu.

This ongoing self-contradictory conflict kept assaulting its consciousness, plunging it into immense pain.

Three days later, Mum Wei Wu finally stopped howling.

But Ren Zhong and Yang Misi did not rush to continue communicating with it.

At this time, Yang Misi had already returned to cryogenic sleep.

It wasn’t that Old Yang was shirking but rather he had done what he needed and waiting around was merely wasting life.

Regarding the situation of Mum Wei Wu, detailed analysis reports had already been provided by the Biological Institute, Medical Institute, Sociological Institute, Psychological Institute, and Linguistic Institute.

Ren Zhong himself also used foresight to glance into the future and then felt reassured.

Mum Wei Wu returned to the Dome Prison, rejoining its species.

Ultimately, it did not commit suicide, nor did it use pheromones to kill its kin.

It merely became silent, no longer shouting, and ceased inventing new curse words.

It seemed to be contemplating.

It was diligently digesting and understanding the conflict between its consciousness and genetic instincts, trying to clear away the fog to see a clearer future.

Its kin reluctantly started acting on their own, reciting the curse lexicon that Mum Wei Wu had previously invented.

Sometimes, these Furry Whisker 331 people, exhausted from repeating the same words, mixed up their order and gathered together, jointly brainstorming new words.

Ren Zhong remained in the research institute but didn’t monitor the syllables of the Furry Whisker 331 people the whole time.

Now Ren Zhong could understand.

These good fellows had completely diverged their tech tree, doing no serious business, continually pondering how to curse people every day.

This, he just came to know.

Ren Zhong had to admire the perseverance of the Furry Whisker 331 people; yet truly he didn’t feel much contempt for them.

As the main antagonist in the eyes of the Furry Whisker people, Ren Zhong was also well aware that no matter how united they were, no matter how they pondered ideas, stubbornly accumulating strength, they actually had no chance to overturn the situation.

Instead of pointless plotting and struggling, better to curse a bit more while life is still liveable.

This is the most utilitarian and only meaningful choice for the Furry Whisker people.

In the days that followed, Ren Zhong did not place new Furry Whisker 331 people in the Dome Prison but let Mum Wei Wu and its people develop on their own.
