Chapter 306 The Next Race, Illusion Predators

Saiqi: "Indeed, why would such a powerful creature have an appearance and behavior close to human technology? Is it born like this, or did it change on its own initiative?"

Rogers: "Maybe it's just natural."

Rhode: "But how could such a monster be born? It's understandable that it has superpowers, but why does it have a head like a speaker?!"

Diana: "Could it be that they took the initiative to change themselves into that form in order to make it easier to hunt and hide?"

Ancient One: "No matter what, our guesses are useless."

While everyone was discussing this, the screen continued to show the next race to appear.

[“The next containment object to appear is called the Illusion Predator.”]

When the sound on the screen rang, the screen switched to another photo. It was a photo that looked very much like a rotten rice cake, with black spots all over the surface and a yellow color all over. It looked a bit disgusting.

[“It is a previously unknown tiny animal of the phylum Tardigrade that lives as a terrestrial predator. Like other tardigrades, the illusion predator has strong resistance to adverse environments and can enter a stealth state when there is no food.”]

[“The Illusion Predator usually appears as an amorphous mass composed of millions of separate entities. In this form, it can move and climb slowly.”]

[“The Illusion Predator Group is predatory, devouring insects and small animals, and then slowly dissolving the prey with digestive enzymes. Humans and other large prey are too large to be swallowed, and the Illusion Predator needs to be in contact with the target for a long time to successfully feed, so they are rarely attacked directly by the Illusion Predator Group. The creature has developed an alternative method to achieve such contact.”]

[“The Illusion Predator group has innate telepathic abilities. When the prey is too large to attack directly, the Illusion Predator group uses its telepathic ability to show the illusion of substances that the prey wants to eat, wear or apply to the surface of the body.”] [“The Illusion Predator is highly poisonous when eaten. The eater needs to take a special antidote within 20 minutes and immediately undergo gastric surgery to remove the eaten part.”]

[“When applied to the skin of a human or animal, the Illusion Predator secretes an anesthetic that causes the prey to ignore the pain and allow it to remain on the skin. It then dissolves and digests the skin within 30 minutes to 2 hours.”]

[“Dead prey will be quickly digested by the Illusion Predator, which will grow noticeably as it feeds. When the Illusion Predator reaches a size of 5 kg, it will split into small groups and look for new prey.”]

["When presented to two or more individuals at once, the appearance of the phantom predator is uncertain - it may appear as food to one person and clothing to another. This situation can serve as a warning to avoid contact with the creature."]

When the screen said this, a video played.

It was a seemingly ordinary couple eating breakfast, which was a sandwich with luncheon meat.

[“Well, there are luncheon meat sandwiches today!” The husband said, and picked up the luncheon meat sandwich with a look of joy, ready to devour it. ]

[“Ah? Spam sandwich?” However, the wife showed a puzzled expression, as if she didn’t know there was a spam sandwich at all. ] [“Why do you call a piece of toast a spam sandwich?” The wife looked at her husband with a puzzled look and asked. ]

[“Ah?” The husband was puzzled as his wife spoke and had already put the sandwich into his mouth. The next second, his face suddenly changed.]

【"woo woo woo woo!!!"】

[“The husband was wailing in pain and grabbing his neck. It seemed that his neck was injured and he couldn’t make any sound. In the end, he lay on the ground in pain and twitched continuously.”]

[“Ah! Husband! What’s wrong with you!”]

[“The wife was so frightened when she saw her husband like this that she turned pale and hurried to check on him. She saw that her husband’s face was very blue and he kept foaming at the mouth. He looked like he was suffering from a serious poison.”]

[“This frightened the wife to the point of being at a loss as to what to do. She couldn’t understand why her husband would suddenly be poisoned!”]

[“Oh right! Call an ambulance.” The most urgent thing was to call an ambulance to rescue her husband, so she frantically looked for her cell phone, and found that it was actually next to her leg.]

[“In fact, if the wife thinks about it carefully, she will remember that her phone is actually on the table and it is impossible for it to be here. However, the situation is urgent now, and she cannot calm down and think so much.”]

[“When the wife picked up the phone to make a call, she immediately put it to her ear and checked on her husband. She didn’t notice that her ears and hands were being corroded by the ‘phone’, but she didn’t react at all.”]

[“When she found that she couldn’t get through on the phone, she checked her phone again and found that her hands had been rotten to the point where she could see the bones. Only then did she feel the pain.”]

[“Now it was the wife’s turn to panic. She threw her phone away and tried to get up, but she found that she had no strength in her body, as if she had been given an anesthetic injection.”]

[“The husband was poisoned and the wife was anesthetized. Both of them lost the power to resist, and the phone revealed its true appearance. Like rotten rice cakes, the phantom predators were pale yellow with black spots all over their bodies. They first transformed into luncheon meat sandwiches or toast, confusing the husband and wife, and making them unaware of their existence. The moment the husband took a bite of them, the phantom predator immediately released toxins, making the husband extremely poisonous. Then it transformed into a mobile phone, making the wife, who was anxious to make a call, pick it up, and then began to corrode the wife's ears and hands, while releasing anesthetics, so that the wife did not realize that she was being corroded at all.”]

[“After confirming that the two were powerless to resist, he returned to his original form and began hunting.”]

[“Due to the large size of two adults, the Illusion Predator needed a lot of time to eat and digest them. After it had eaten the two adults, its body had expanded to more than five kilograms. Finally, its body split into a group of identical ultra-small Illusion Predators, and then they left in different directions to look for new targets.”]

Then the screen showed a number of victims, each with their own way of death.
