Slime molds are organisms that excel at designing complex transportation networks.

It can always intuitively find the best and shortest route between two points, forming a path for material transmission, and quickly transporting the searched nutrients back to the main body for storage.

From this point of view, for Meiji, it not only saves the planning and design of the route, but also saves time and effort, and also saves investment resources in construction.

You only need to mark certain points on the map, and the Nydus Worms will design the optimal route around these points.

The upper hyphal network anchors the tree.

The middle layer of the network is focused on biology.

The difference is that as a moving point, it cannot form a material connection network.

But it can form a spiritual connection network.

The upper layer of mycelium network is like planting a seed. Regardless of whether it is done or not, the fruit will be harvested when the time comes.

The mid-level network requires careful cultivation.

Without assimilating living creatures into members of the insect swarm under Meiji's absolute control, how to incorporate other living creatures into the insect swarm system to achieve the effect of mutual cooperation and symbiosis.

This is the answer Mei Ji found.

This is a common little squirrel in the forest. Before winter comes, during the first three seasons of the year, it will collect as much winter food as possible.

As usual, it was going about its normal day.

With his mouth full of various nuts, he happily ran through the forest on his way home.

This journey is not safe and worry-free. There are many predators in the forest that it needs to avoid.

But what is more dangerous is the same kind.

As a young squirrel, it does not yet have its own territory. A nearby area is the territory of another, stronger squirrel.

Therefore, it had to take the risk to steal the fruits from this predecessor's territory.

What it doesn't know is that things will eventually be revealed. This experienced senior is watching its actions from a tree.

The little boy took it without warning, which made him very angry, but he restrained himself and did not move forward. He had great survival experience.

After all, he also grew up from such a little squirrel.

The scene in front of me is constantly reflected in different eyes, entering the depths of my mind, and is then accepted by the parasites lurking deep in the body. As the signal is transmitted, it is transferred to the underground mycelial network. The signal follows the mycelial network. The transmission is finally gathered into the memory bank of the Nydus Worm, and is stored as data and engraved on the genes.

Sometime in the future, when searching for memories, Mei Ji will inadvertently look through this forest record again.

The little squirrel didn't know when he had parasites in his body. Being in the forest, it was too easy to contract parasitic diseases, and he didn't care if there were strange things in his body.

But the forest will remember all this and observe everything through their eyes.

The little squirrel puts aside the fruits of its efforts, and will continue to work hard.

At this moment, an inexplicable voice sounded in the depths of his mind.

The timid creature couldn't help but hide, looking around in fear and confusion.

The sound kept ringing.

"Debugging begins."

But it doesn't understand.

"Record, Experimental Subject 13046"

But soon, it came to light.

The aroma of nuts came from far away, inducing it to move forward.

"Virtual sense of smell guides access and establishes connection with the five senses"

The false fruity aroma that does not exist guides the way forward, and the little squirrel cannot help but follow the guidance of the taste.

The little squirrel left the tree hole. While the little squirrel left, the old squirrel entered the tree hole and carried the fruits of the little squirrel's labor.

Following the guidance of the fruity aroma, the little squirrel found the fruit.

Originally, it should have been impossible to find it at this distance, but this time it came back with a full load.

The industrious little squirrel returned home happily. The lack of nuts in the house did not attract its attention.

In the following days, day after day, under the guidance of the inexplicable voice, the little squirrel successfully found the fruit, and dared to enter even dangerous areas that he had not had the courage to set foot in before.

The dangerous predators around seemed not to care about this little guy.

Even if they met head-on on a narrow road, the two sides would pass by each other without incident as if they didn't see each other.

Until one day, the little squirrel, who was returning home with a full load, encountered the old squirrel's theft.

A conflict broke out on the spot. With rich experience, the old squirrel held down the little squirrel and beat him violently.

The little squirrel escaped from his home and wandered in the forest in embarrassment.

The winter without food and home was very difficult, but fortunately under the inexplicable guidance, it endured tenaciously on its own.

In the spring of the coming year, the flowers will bloom, it will grow and become stronger.

Unknowingly, it returned to that place. The old squirrel was a little old, and the two met under the guidance of fate. This time, the old squirrel did not defeat the little squirrel, and disappeared into the bleak autumn wind with scars all over his body.

The little squirrel was very happy. It finally had its own territory and rolled excitedly in its nest holding nuts.

But the happiness did not last long. The next year the spring came, and the little squirrel turned into an old squirrel. He stood on the branch and stared at the young squirrels that entered his territory.

He has finally become an experienced old squirrel, and the challenge given to him by fate is not over yet.

I don’t know when, but that voice no longer gave it any guidance.

It decides to act on its own ideas.

While the little squirrel is out looking for food, sneak into the nest built by the little squirrel.

It is another bleak autumn, and the old squirrel is limping along the piles of autumn leaves in the forest, as if he has reincarnated in the past.

Until I couldn't walk anymore, I fell down in the snowdrift, gradually closed my tired and dull eyes, and was buried in the snow.

The forest will remember it all.

In the coming spring, flowers will bloom, and the snow will melt, revealing the body of the squirrel. As the temperature rises, it will gradually decompose, and the fine mycelium will spread and grow. A small white flower will stand where the body was originally, standing gently in the warm spring breeze. Swinging.

In this world, where will you go after death?

The little squirrel didn't know.

"Record backup completed."

"Data transfer begins, synchronization access."

"Consciousness building simulation progress 10%"

"2050100%"

"Login completed."

I don’t know how long passed, but the little squirrel opened his eyes.

"Welcome to my garden, little one."

“This is the resting place of souls without strife.”

The scene in front of him was no different from the forest in the past, except that a layer of softer and more dreamy moonlight sprinkled down as gently as water, illuminating the surrounding area with a hazy white moonlight.

A girl in a hooded black robe gently stretched out her hand.

Not knowing where the courage and impulse came from, the little squirrel jumped hard into the girl's hand, which felt kind to her.

The moment he took off, he felt as if his body was as light as a cloud, gently falling on the girl's palm.

The girl stretched out her hand to tease the little squirrel, smiling under her hood.

"How's it going? Do you like it here?"

The little squirrel looked straight at the tree behind the girl. The branches were covered with abundant fruits, endless as far as the eye could see.

Is this paradise?

Although the little melon can't understand it yet, he is gradually understanding it.

"It's such a shame, though, that you're not really it yet."

"Failed again"

The girl stretched out her hand to let the little squirrel reach the branch.

The little squirrel climbed up the tree familiarly. Strangely, although it had no claws, it climbed smoothly. Without paying attention to such small details, the little squirrel hugged the nut excitedly.

"However, live here with peace of mind. There will be no more painful memories."

By the way, when the girl turned around, she turned into a gentle breeze and disappeared like a dream.

The forest in reality is completely different from here during the day, and the children of Konoha are playing in the forest.

Hide and seek is a perfect game in the forest.

A child was lying in the grass, nervously holding his breath.

At this time, there was a rustling sound, and the leaves above the head shook.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a group of colorful people on the branches showing their own personalities. The cute little guys were holding a fruit and secretly looking at him.

The child opened his mouth wide and let out a cry.

what is this.

He has a big head and a small body, with big watery Kazlan eyes, floating in the air. He is small in stature, cute and cute, and has a silly head and brain. Each one is different in every detail. He looks at him curiously.

It's not a normal creature, it's full of cute cartoon style.

He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he looked again, the little guy had disappeared without a trace.

Are you seeing hallucinations?

“Hey! Everyone!

"

The little boy rushed into the grass and shouted loudly.

"Guess what I just saw!"

"It's an elf! An elf!"

"The elf looks exactly like the one in the storybook!

"

Where will you go after death?

Mei Ji is looking for such an answer.

On the treetops, a kingfisher chirped softly and melodiously. During the march, Mei Ji looked at the lush and vibrant forest on a whim.

Suddenly, the birds in the forest chirped in unison, playing a beautiful and melodious tune.

Listening to the singing of the forest in the distance, the white-haired girl sat on the Hokage Rock. In the wind, she tilted her head slightly, and her eyes that could see through the void and reality swept to her side, where a familiar group of chakra was looking at her.

I sketched its specific appearance in my mind.

He couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Kawa Yin."

He stretched out his hand and caressed the head of the little guy who was not dodging. To others, it looked like he was touching the air.

This is a special scene that has only appeared in the past few days. Something has moved from falsehood to reality, with an entity between reality and falsehood.

Yin and Yang escape. Create form from nothingness

"As expected of you."

Without the constraints of the third generation, Jiri knew that Meiji was gradually letting go of her hands and feet to paint the world according to her own wishes.

Looking into the distance, deep in the land beneath our feet, huge roots form a galaxy-like chakra river, rushing in all directions.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s still as beautiful as ever.”

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Zhili couldn't help laughing.

"He kept saying that he wanted to fly into the sky."

"Isn't this hole getting deeper and deeper?"

"Drilling down into the ground."

"He's like a reincarnation of a bug."

"Wulu Sai." The invisible elf beside Zhili said.
