Just like the sun never said it was called "the sun".
But things like names always have something in common, because names often represent the fundamental nature of a thing.
That's what predators do.
It has all the properties a "predator" should have.
It is an existence that cannot be detected by prey, and any prey targeted by it cannot "see" it on the physical level.
This is true for most predators in nature.
At the same time, it is every prey's ultimate nightmare.
The prey are obsessed with the predator out of fear, fearing that they will become the target of the predator in the next second.
But it is precisely because of this that prey will be attacked by predators!
This is a very terrifying infinite loop, because even the prey with strong self-control can hardly control its thinking and not "think" about the predator.
To sum up.
Weird Creatures: Predators.
Its action rules are:
First, predators will choose their prey based on the "degree of thinking" of the surrounding life about them. People who think deeply will become the priority targets of predators;
Second, prey cannot observe the predator and cannot cause physical harm to it, but bystanders can;
Third, in the normal state or when switching prey targets, the predator can "teleport", but during the predation stage, the predator still has a body that can be attacked by bystanders;
From these three points, an inference can be drawn.
Assuming that there are only two living entities in a space, the predator and the "prey", the prey will have no chance to resist and can only watch its body being eaten!
In other words, the Predator - invincible in a single fight.
Thanks to the people from the Deep Space Society here, their fear of predators allowed Xu Cheng to get rid of his first priority of prey.
Therefore, Xu Cheng had the opportunity to shake his fist at the predator.
But when Xu Cheng struck the predator's hind legs with one blow, the predator's instinct also made it take action.
It began to massacre surrounding deep space members indiscriminately.
Blood splattered everywhere, and there were fewer and fewer people alive around him.
Xu Cheng understood that in just a few dozen seconds, when all the Deep Space members were dead, he would be forced into a one-on-one fight with the Predator!
That would be a dead end with no solution.
Although Xu Cheng could use the books around him to distract himself, Xu Cheng was not a saint after all and could not concentrate on anything else.
He could not think about the predator for a while, but deeper in his mind, he had already firmly remembered the predator.
As long as all the prey with higher priority are dead, Xu Cheng will naturally become the prey of the predator!
Kill it before it succeeds!
——Xu Cheng made a judgment immediately.
He stamped his feet fiercely, and rushed out like an arrow from a string, pursuing the predator closely!
Xu Cheng was still recalling the book he had just read in his mind, and the only "thought" he had about the predator was to punch it in the head!
In this way, Xu Cheng has the lowest priority as prey, and he can naturally catch the predator.
A hurricane-like chase took place in the library.
Xu Cheng is in a tough fight?
No, it's the predators who are in the thick of it!
It was trying its best to dodge Xu Cheng's fist while preying on others present.
Its instinct is fear, because the prey chasing it is really too scary.
Its instinct is telling it that it must kill everyone present except Xu Cheng before Xu Cheng catches up with it and before that fist falls on its head!
Only then will it have a chance to lock Xu Cheng as its prey!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Xu Cheng was approaching the predator.
When the predator bit another person's neck, Xu Cheng's fist fell.
But at that moment, the predator in Xu Cheng's sight suddenly disappeared, and there was a sharp bite mark on his wrist.
The moment his fist was about to hit the predator, the predator's appearance fell into Xu Cheng's sight, forcing Xu Cheng to notice the predator.
As a result, Xu Cheng's priority as prey was raised to the highest level, giving the predator a chance to escape Xu Cheng's fist.
This scene happened several times in succession.
If you close your eyes, the situation will only be worse, because it is impossible to achieve the "sedimentary" state like meditating in just a few dozen seconds.
In the darkness after closing their eyes, people always think about the things that impress them the most!
Gradually, the wailing sounds around me became less and less, and in the end, only the sound of moving footsteps remained.
Click!
The predator bit off the neck of the last deep space member and swallowed him whole.
Xu Cheng stood in front of the predator.
In his eyes, the predator's figure had disappeared without a trace.
Only corpses and blood were left on the ground.
Xu Cheng finally became the "prey".
He will face the nightmare called "Predator" alone...
No.
There is still a candle that has not been extinguished!
The principal pushed the wheelchair and slowly walked to Xu Cheng's side.
On her lap lay a stack of torn pages, each page torn out neatly and meticulously.
After splicing the above content together, you can get the formula for creating a new coordinate system in the strange world.
That is something that the Deep Space Society has longed for, but now there is no living Deep Space member in the library.
The principal handed the stack of pages on his lap to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng took over and said in a deep voice: "Nothing will happen. You leave first."
He wanted to make sure the principal wouldn't be targeted by a predator before making any plans.
But the principal rolled his eyes at Xu Cheng and directly pushed the formula book in his hand into Xu Cheng's arms.
"I am a member of the Candlelight Team. I am an expert in the field of weird creatures."
The implication is that she has discovered the predator's behavior!
"It's useless no matter how far we run, because we have already been targeted by predators."
"Even if it's only a momentary impression, the predator will show up and eat us when we think about it."
"What's more - we can't run."
Hearing this, Xu Cheng was a little confused. He didn't understand why the principal would say such a thing.
The principal was speechless, but pointed at the blood stains around him.
Only then did Xu Cheng discover the clue.
He recalled a philosophical statement widely circulated on the Internet——
When a hunter kills the last prey, where will the hunter go?
Let’s change the question: When a predator preys on Xu Cheng, no one in the world will remember him anymore. Where will this terrifying and strange creature go at that time?
Answer: Create new hunting opportunities!
During the chase just now, the Predator actually used the blood stains and residual limbs of the Deep Space members to outline a portrait of himself on the floor of the library.
That look is just like the photo on the letterhead!
It turns out that the predator's instinct has already made plans for its subsequent survival.
It outlines its appearance on the ground, so that after it eats Principal Xu Chenghe, it can continue to prey on those who come to investigate the situation in the library!
What a terrible instinct is this?
Whether it is the Haicheng University students who came here accidentally, or the witnesses who will inevitably come back to investigate later.
They will eventually become the prey of the predator!
escape?
The so-called "prey" actually cannot escape, so it is called "prey"!
Xu Cheng understood.
He must kill that weird creature completely here!
but……
"I said, I'm from the Candlelight Team, so I'm an expert."
The principal's voice interrupted Xu Cheng's thoughts.
She said slowly:
"Weird creature - it is said to be a creature, but it is different from all life forms known to mankind."
"Gah!"
There was a roar, it was a predator.
He came to Principal Xu Chengyu, his empty eyes smiling like crescent moons, as if he was trying his best to make Principal Xu Chengyu notice him.
Anyone who notices it will become its prey!
Xu Cheng chose to ignore it.
But the principal looked straight at the predator, and then suddenly said -
"It's so ugly."
"Gah?"
Predators don't understand.
The principal's words continued.
"Weird creatures are a combination of 'instinct' and 'rules'."
"But humans are particularly good at defiling the rules."
The principal smiled.
She is smiling.
But when that smile fell into the predator's eyes, its instinct felt a strange feeling.
What exactly is that?
…
If the predator could talk and asked sincerely, the principal might be merciful enough to tell it.
That feeling is called "fear".
It is an emotion felt by prey and is not owned by the predator.
But predators don't ask.
——Because it's just a monster.
Still ugly.
…
The principal smiled.
The folds on her face are stacked together, and shadows cover her eyes, deep and dark, like a predator.
"You won't understand."
"The arrogance that human beings have that defies all rules."
