Richard looked at the eight-armed skeleton again, and looked at the burning fire in the eyes of the eight-armed skeleton. He couldn't help but thought: You can't really communicate with this kind of "eyes", right? Or find a way to let the other party communicate through writing? Or, communicate in sign language
One person and one skeleton looked at each other again.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
More than ten seconds passed. Just as Richard was thinking about how to communicate, he saw the eight-armed skeleton nodding slightly and turning to the side without warning. Walking to the neatly piled bones next to him, he slowly lay down on the ground, resting his head on the bones, and actually acted like a human being to fall asleep.
As he lay down, the burning ghost fire in the eyes of the eight-armed skeleton slowly converged, and finally shrank into two dim small fireballs, no longer fluctuating, as if he had really fallen asleep.
The scene is a bit weird.
Although he was as calm as Richard, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned at this moment.
what is this
The other party no longer wants to communicate with you, and throws a sleepy bug at you, trying to hypnotize you with his movements
The corner of Richard's mouth twitched, he turned to look at the old man Lich, and asked aloud: "As far as I know, magic puppets like skeletons don't sleep, right? Of course, my research on magic skeletons is still relatively shallow. Yes, Mr. Afu, maybe you have a different answer?"
"This -" the old man Lich looked at the sleeping eight-armed skeleton, his expression even more exciting than Richard's. He took a breath of air and replied nonchalantly, "Actually, the skeletons I know cannot sleep, at best. There are rests similar to sleep. But they are like those, standing still on the ground."
As he spoke, the old Lich pointed toward the dozens of newly repaired spell skeletons in the distance.
The dozen magic skeletons were in a resting state, and they were indeed standing on the ground, motionless - it was this that gave the eight-armed skeleton a chance to remove its arms.
"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a skeleton sleeping like a human being." The muscles on the old Lich's face twitched a little, and his eyes were very complicated. "I have not seen such records in any books. All my mentors during my lifetime were not mentioned either.”
At this moment, the old man Lich felt that his world view had been somewhat impacted, and he really wanted to pry open the skull of the eight-armed skeleton to see what was inside.
But without taking action, he had already guessed the answer. After all, the skull of the eight-armed skeleton was not completely sealed. Through the gap between the mouth and nose, you can clearly see inside. There is nothing but the fire of the soul.
This skeleton is really weird... What on earth is this... The old man Lich asked this question in his mind not for the first time.
"Okay." After listening to the old man Lich and looking at the old man Lich's expression, Richard knew that he would not get any effective information from the old man Lich. He turned to look at Pandora and asked, "Pandora, were you there before?" In the Garden of Eden, have you ever seen this eight-armed skeleton sleeping like this?”
"No." Pandora shook her head, recalled it carefully, and said with certainty, "Absolutely not. I've seen him knocking his own bones to play, I've seen him stand still in a daze, and I've seen him make all kinds of things with his bones. stuff, and then dismantled it, but I never saw him sleeping."
"So, this is the first time he has done this? At least, this is the first time he has done it publicly." Looking at the eight-armed skeleton lying on the ground "sleeping fast", Richard fell into deep thought and said to himself, "Excluding all kinds of nonsensical factors, if you analyze it rationally, there must be logic in what the other party does. Based on the past performance, it can be determined that the other party is an intelligent life and has a certain degree of goodwill.
It stands to reason that during a meeting, even if effective information exchange cannot be carried out, one should not make such an action. After all, it is impolite. But the other party really did it, and he did it without thinking or hesitating. What is the reason for this? Is this his way of communicating? Or maybe it’s a hint and guidance for the way of communication…”
While talking to himself, Richard's eyes suddenly widened, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he made a bold but reasonable guess.
"Hoo-ho-"
Richard took a deep breath, calmed down, glanced at the eight-armed skeleton still lying on the ground, looked at Pandora and the old Lich, and said: "Okay, since he is asleep, let's stay here. It’s useless, it’s better to leave and go do your own business.”
"profound."
"good."
Pandora and the Lich Old Man had no objections and left separately.
Richard glanced at the eight-armed skeleton again, turned around and left, entering the main laboratory.
After entering the main laboratory, he did not rush to deal with trivial matters, but walked into a small rest room in the main laboratory.
The rest room is located in the corner of the main laboratory. The door is very close to a tall bookshelf. The internal area is only a few square meters. Except for a bed, there are almost no other extra decorations.
Usually, he takes a short break here after work. Or go into the depths of the brain and extract the needed unpopular knowledge from the thought palace where memories are stored - he has done this twice for the smooth progress of the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plan.
And now, he entered the rest room and lay down on the bed, neither to rest nor to enter the thought palace, but to prepare for deep meditation.
"Hoo-ho-"
Breathe in, breathe out.
The whole body slowly relaxes, all distracting thoughts are cleared, and the consciousness continues to sink into the deepest place.
"Buzz buzz!"
The consciousness gradually lost control of the body, a slight buzzing sounded in the ears, and then in the consciousness, the whole body began to vibrate violently.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Richard felt a sudden lightness. His conscious body had separated from his body with great skill and ease, and appeared above his sleeping body.
To be honest, after leaving the body, seeing another "me" sleeping on the bed is a rather scary thing, but after more experience, I got used to it.
After calming down his racing thoughts, Richard did not hesitate, controlled his consciousness, and quickly floated to the side.
With almost no effort, he passed through the multiple walls of the main laboratory and reached the open space outside the laboratory.
Because Pandora went back to her room to study mathematics, the old man Lich went to guard Ximu, but there was no one in the open space at this time.
Richard didn't pay much attention. He determined a direction and moved quickly to the right front, where the storage room where the eight-armed skeleton was sleeping was located.
The movement of the conscious body is extremely fast, and after deliberate training, it can be greatly accelerated. In just a few seconds, Richard controlled his conscious body to float near the storage room.
After walking around a tall reactor, Richard saw an eight-armed skeleton lying quietly in front of the storage room door, sleeping, no different from what he had seen with the naked eye before.
Did he guess wrong... Richard felt a little disappointed and was about to control his consciousness to return when he suddenly saw a blurry shadow slowly standing up from the sleeping eight-armed skeleton and looking towards him.
The moment his "eyes" made contact, Richard felt his consciousness shake slightly.
