Volume 13: The Lights in the Sky Are All Enemies Chapter 11 Wonders of the Universe
"Oh, sorry, I got too excited."
After a while, looking at Li Lin's somewhat embarrassed expression, the short man smiled awkwardly and let go of his hand awkwardly.
"It's mainly because the media and cultural circles have a serious misunderstanding of us. We prefer to communicate with others peacefully and friendly, and to gain benefits through legal means. For example, exchanging a tube of blood for a loyal alien pet, isn't this a very suitable transaction?"
"We want more genetic samples, but we can't take them from everyone, unless we don't kill anyone during the war, but that's impossible. However, the peaceful commercial system can perfectly achieve our wishes. For example, we can exchange a tube of blood for our personal protection and safety. Only a tube of blood is needed in a lifetime to exchange for the lifelong security insurance of our insect swarm. We can treat broken arms and legs, colds and fevers. Isn't that good?"
"So I hope you don't have too many misunderstandings about our species. In fact, we are the species that most desires peace in this universe. Only peaceful exchanges can bring more changes and development. And this kind of evolution is what we want."
"A perfect answer must be tested by the truth. If the whole universe is helping us, then it will be much easier, right?"
"Well, I think you are right. It is true that my past thinking was too shallow."
But can you please let go of your hands, it feels weird.
Seeing that person holding him tightly, Li Lin always felt a little weird. It was not because , but because he instinctively resisted the intellectual contact. Especially when facing such a talkative contestant, Li Lin felt a little uneasy.
The reason for this instability was not from other places, but from Li Lin's own personality. He was not the kind of social butterfly who could chat with everyone naturally. He could only chat freely with acquaintances. Facing the Hive Will who started to talk right away, he still instinctively felt a little resistant. And Angoro also felt the subtle sense of rejection from the intellect, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing.
"But I am very curious about the existence of you 'players'. Can you please tell me what our world is like in your eyes?"
After all, your existence is similar to the projection of high-dimensional life.
After a moment's silence, the short man changed the subject, but his sensitivity was countless times higher than the previous one.
Under Li Lin's increasingly weird gaze, this talkative hive mind kept on blabbering on about some creepy inferences that made the players' hair stand on end, nodding and speaking in a coherent manner.
"There is no way to collect normal DNA or soul structure from you. Your soul can only be weakened through a special trap or high-intensity crushing . And even if it is completely wiped out, your existence will not disappear. It is just transformed into another intelligent individual in a way that we cannot understand, and even retains the previous memories throughout the process."
"I have monitored tens of thousands of players on the Dionysus Cluster. They are widely distributed and have some inexplicable means of communication. Some can be captured, but other methods called 'offline communication' cannot be captured at all. I think it is very likely that when these players are sleeping, their main consciousness is returning to their bodies before projection. They don't seem to have any means of multi-consciousness manipulation, so they can only use this method for entertainment and action. This is an entertainment for you, right?"
"In fact, I am very curious. I am curious about your social form and life structure. Although some of your habits and social awareness are the same as those of many technologically developed planets, I think you may not be such a simple existence."
"If it's convenient, could you please tell me about the social structure and living conditions over there?"
"...Aren't you particularly surprised by our presence?"
"Why should I be so surprised?"
The hive mind looked at Li Lin and tilted its head, seeming to be very puzzled by his question.
"Compared to the university that is obsessed with the truth of the universe, we pursue spiritual and material existence more. After all, relatively speaking, players are just a cosmic wonder. Although the state you are in is very strange, for us, even stranger things have happened in this universe. For example, for a period of time, the entire universe lost the concept of mathematics. That was really a very scary scene. Compared to that kind of wonder, the existence of players is okay, right?"
"Ah, well, that's true, but how should I put it..."
Players are real players...
Just when Li Lin was about to say something, an inexplicable wave spread from his brain and made him shut his mouth. He subconsciously looked towards the center of the entire Roman conference hall. And he found that it was not just him, but almost everyone made such a move, whether they were communicating or arguing, they all shut their mouths and looked at the chief position.
A dark red podium suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the empty ground where there was no debris. No impression was left there, but it suddenly appeared in front of the podium. Everyone shut their mouths and waited for what would happen next.
Soon, some distorted light and shadow lines appeared in front of Li Lin's eyes. Under the effect of the cognitive filter, the deflected light quickly condensed into a human figure, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
"...Then, let's start our formal parliament now."
A figure gradually emerged on the rostrum. The man who emerged looked very majestic, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice:
"As the fourth division of the Space Expeditionary Force, we will complete the next action goals and job planning in a short while. I hope you all have a corresponding understanding of your own abilities and intelligence, and don't make mistakes due to assignment issues. Those who can come here are the backbone of the Holy Light, so you'd better act cautiously and don't make a choice that will make you regret for the rest of your life because of your momentary carelessness."
The dignified man spoke in a low voice after looking at the sparse crowd standing around him. Then he picked up a thick red book that appeared out of nowhere, pushed up his glasses, and began to read out the plan and authorization form of the Pale Expedition in a low voice.
Without too much nonsense, the meeting to decide the direction of the universe was held abruptly yet unobtrusively.
