Chapter 227: unlocks the [God's Profile] title route.
"You're saying that mutated king cobra suddenly went out of control and attacked you?" Yu Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.
In the core living area.
Everyone sat together in a circle, as the mummy-wrapped Mona recounted what had happened last night.
After the Doctor's confirmation, Mona's wounds were no longer a concern, though she was still somewhat weak from excessive blood loss and would recover after resting.
Mona was also already starving and naturally didn't want to stay in the laboratory.
Hearing Yu Yuan's question, Mona put down her cup, licked the soy milk off her lips, and nodded gently.
"After Lilith died, several animal tamers tried to bond with Black King (the king cobra) but couldn't achieve compatibility and couldn't control it. Since my spiritual creature hadn't been decided yet, and I had a 69% compatibility rate with Black King, it was temporarily handed over to me for control."
"Yesterday morning, the Black Shield Police Department fought against the Burning Fortress and Thug Prison in the Northern District. In the evening, I received intelligence that a team of raiders from Thug Prison had infiltrated the city district, seemingly searching for something."
"I planned to take Black King to ambush them and capture some people as sacrifices. But I never expected that just as the fight began, Black King suddenly went berserk and attacked me..."
At this point, a flicker of relief flashed in Mona's eyes."If I hadn't already injected the [Cheetah Genetic Modification Serum] and gained speed enhancement abilities, I would probably be dead!"
"That doesn't make sense! Mutated creatures' brains all have control chips. How could it suddenly go berserk, and the timing is so coincidental—not too early, not too late—right at the critical moment when you were clashing with Thug Prison?"
Yu Yuan raised his doubt.
Fang also spotted the suspicious point.
"And, according to your description, after that giant snake went berserk, it didn't attack indiscriminately but kept chasing you specifically. That's very abnormal. This wasn't a loss of control; it was a targeted attack against you."
"Is the control chip in the king cobra's brain only controllable by you?"
Yu Yuan asked the key question.
"That's exactly what worries me. The control chip for spiritual creatures can be controlled not only by the animal tamer but also by the command center, and..."
Mona looked at Yu Yuan.
"Black King's previous animal tamer was Lilith, and Lilith was previously under Green Robe the missionary. Green Robe, Cold Crow the missionary, and a few others were all followers of the previous generation Saint—Moga. It's hard to guarantee they don't have alternative control methods."
At this point, the situation seemed quite clear.
"From what I know, these past two days, Cold Crow the missionary and the others seem to have had other ideas..." Mona already had an answer in her heart.
Mona glanced at Masier, then looked back at Yu Yuan.
"It seems Masier isn't suitable to go to the zoo with me anymore. Your side..."
"No problem!" Before Mona could finish, Yu Yuan understood her meaning and immediately agreed.
"Masier can stay with me. But do you still plan to go back?"
A cold gleam appeared in Mona's eyes.
"Go back? Of course I'm going back. If I don't go back, that's exactly what Cold Crow and the others would want!"
"Don't worry, this was just an accident..."
"Sister Mona..." Masier looked at Mona with concern.
"Masier, don't worry..."
Clearly, Mona had already made her decision.
Afterwards, Yu Yuan took Mona into the rest area and took out the subordinate chip injector.
"Let's use this to contact each other from now on..."
After hearing Yu Yuan's introduction, Mona immediately agreed to join.
As Mona successfully connected to the [Wolf Den·Commander System], Yu Yuan also saw Mona's relevant information.
[Member Number: NO·17]
Gene Status: Human—Cheetah Gene Enhancer.
Physical Status: Poor (Anemic, Weak, Multiple Tissue Damage)
Mental Status: Poor (Listless, Unhappy, Surprised)
Talent Status: Dark Apprentice (Far exceeds normal human inspiration regarding rituals, sacrifices, spirituality)
Enhancement Abilities: Speed Enhancement, Reflex Enhancement, Regeneration Enhancement (Developing)
Trust Index: 98% (Die-hard Loyal)
————————
Different from everyone's previous data, Mona had two additional data entries: [Gene Status] and [Enhancement Abilities]. This was probably related to her injection of the [Genetic Modification Serum].
Yu Yuan also didn't expect Mona's trust index towards him to be 98%. This was already the highest trust index besides the [Jackal] team.
But the reason the [Jackal] team maintained a 100% trust index was entirely due to the effect of the [Conqueror's Token of the Strong].
Mona's, however, was her genuine trust index.
Yu Yuan naturally understood why. He was grateful that he had retained a trace of the most basic humanity back then.
"Number 17?" Mona also received the chip information.
"Mhm, your joining number is the 17th. I couldn't contact you for the past few days, so it was delayed until now."
"Who's number one?"
"Carmen!"
"Carmen? That newly promoted commander from the Black Shield Police Department? What's his codename?"
Yu Yuan was surprised but still said, "Lone Wolf!"
After all, Carmen's future actions within the Black Shield Police Department might require Mona's assistance.
Mona fell silent. A few seconds later, Yu Yuan saw a message sent by Mona.
[Wolf Mother: Can you receive this?]
Looking at the member title Mona had modified, Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel his breath catch.
[Wolf Den · King: ....... Yes!]
The corner of Mona's mouth lifted into a curve.
Then Mona reined in her smile.
"Alright, let's talk business! I've already found out the secrets behind the sacrificial ritual. I actually have to thank you for providing that ritual address; it gave me the chance to inquire about these things..."
Hearing this, Yu Yuan immediately perked up.
After all, this was related to completing that Silver-level [Regional Event] mission.
In the room, Mona completely and thoroughly relayed all the intelligence she had heard from Miller the missionary about the [cult], the [Orthodox Church], [Silver Creatures], and the [Metamorphosis Period].
"I originally planned to go to Masier's place tonight to tell you all this..." Mona was still explaining.
But Yu Yuan's ears were already ringing with a continuous stream of mechanical notification sounds.

Yu Yuan looked at the information popping up on the virtual light screen, his eyelids twitching slightly.
