Chapter 2281: Chapter 1141: Shirin_2

To be honest, with Shirin’s petite figure, she wasn’t really suitable for this kind of laborious work. However, perhaps due to being single for so long, she had become a bit mentally distorted. She actually enjoyed this kind of work, which allowed her to come into contact with countless bodies of her kin.

But she wasn’t twisted enough to want to do anything profane to these corpses. She just wanted to study, well, study the structure of her kin.

She wanted to understand the principles of the Alien Bugs. This way, perhaps there wouldn’t be more tragic mutations like hers in the future.

The work of a Corpse Collector helped her acquire more samples. Likewise, she had the opportunity to obtain some equipment and technology from the Apes.

Well, that group of Apes, although physically weak, were quite smart. They weren’t much worse than the Brain Worms of the Insect Race, even though they didn’t possess strong telekinesis like the Brain Worms, they had a unique power called technology.

Shirin tried to learn the power called technology from the relics of those Apes. It was quite interesting, and she learned quickly. Among them, a science called anatomy and another called genetics intrigued her.

She secretly collected information on these two fields and secretly dissected and researched the corpses of her kin.

She didn’t consider it a profanity, after all, these corpses were also preserved as backup food.

Well, in Insect-man culture, the corpses of Old Worms should serve as nourishment for New Insects. The children would consume their deceased parents’ corpses and inherit the glory and will of their ancestors.

Her research progress was quite smooth. She quickly understood the principles of the birth of Alien Bugs. Her genes, compared to her kin, were too unstable, making certain mutations extremely easy to occur. Moreover, these mutations were random, so there was no telling whether they would change for better or worse.

Without a doubt, Shirin was a Lucky One. Compared to those Alien Bugs who mostly don’t grow long and die young, her brain mutation was undoubtedly benign.

However, this unstable gene could not be eradicated since it was the fundamental ancestral gene of the Insect People, which enabled the multitude of different Insect-man species in the Senhai World to come about through mutation.

This was the foundation of the Insect People’s strong adaptability and reproductive ability in various environments. It was also the key to their continued evolution and advancement.

However, the random mutation was extremely inefficient. If one could take control of the direction of mutation, the Insect Swarm would undoubtedly have a brighter future.

Upon realizing this, Shirin suddenly had a sense of mission. She felt that perhaps her birth in this world was for this purpose, and she would find a way to control the instability of the Insect People’s genes, ultimately accelerating the evolution of the Insect-man Clan towards a higher and farther future.

Though she didn’t actually feel much affection for the Insect Race, given that she grew up being excluded and ridiculed.

Clever as she was, she no longer felt like the same species as those foolish kin, but everyone needs to find a goal in life, right?

Moreover, if she really discovered something, at the very least, she could cure herself, right? By then, she would become the greatest Clan Leader of the Taizi Clan.

So, she continued with her research.

And then...

And then, the Senhai World was invaded by demons. For some unknown reason, the Abyss set its sights on the Senhai World.

That day, a terrifying evil from beyond descended, followed closely by destruction, slaughter, and despair.

That day, Shirin, who had just made some small progress in her research, came out of her nest to get some fresh air, and then she saw the battlefield dyed red with flames of war, a scene that even made a seasoned Corpse Collector like her tremble with fear.

It might no longer be apt to call it a battlefield; calling it a slaughterhouse might be more accurate.

The ground was covered in blood, slime, and limbs, with countless Insect People and Ape corpses piled into mountains. The nauseating stench made Shirin, who was long accustomed to dissections, vomit on the spot.

And then, she saw the bizarre combination of blood, slime, and the corpses of Insect People and Apes coalesce into a sinister demon.

"Hello, nice to meet you for the first time, Summoner. Was it your desire that drew the great Abyss’s attention to this world? Hmm, quite a desire you have there, interesting, interesting."

The terrifying demon composed of corpses did not hurt her; on the contrary, its behavior was unexpectedly gentlemanly. Well, according to Ape culture, this should be called gentlemanly; there was no such description in the Insect Race.

However, the demon’s gentlemanly demeanor only sent chills down Shirin’s spine.

"What? I summoned it? Impossible, I didn’t do anything! I was just quietly conducting my research!"

The Insect Girl evidently found it difficult to accept this reality. She had intended to contribute to the development of the race, but somehow she had attracted the claws of destruction, which ultimately led to the downfall of the entire world.

"Heh heh heh, yes, yes, indeed. Your soul is truly magnificent. No wonder its fragrance could be sensed by the great Abyss from far across the Spirit World."

"Despair, cry, then fall, sister. I, the great Jealousy Apostle, Lady Shania, welcome you to join our family."

Regarding Shirin’s collapse, the bizarre demon only let out a joyous laugh above the Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea.

And then, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

Because she died.
