The so-called "observation facility" is a cylindrical building with four rectangular radiating corridors symmetrically distributed around it. The overall shape is like an old-fashioned rocket about to be launched-this kind of building is a style that Campbell people quite like. Observation facilities are used for scientific research. The Campbells sent the strange things they discovered during their vast space exploration journey to this kind of comprehensive research center. The Templar Orb and the four ascetics obviously also meet the conditions of "strange things". Hao Ren and his party got off the car in front of a certain corridor of the observation facility, and found that there were far more guards here than anywhere else. Many little green men with live ammunition (should be guns) stood guard at the entrance of the facility. A large number of small rotating metal towers can be seen: the latter should be some kind of sentry gun or other form of warning device.
The chief of the planet Talam personally acted as a guide throughout the whole process: "...Since those four strange guys lived here, we have doubled the police force. Those four people have been trying to run out. Although they are not opponents of high-tech equipment, they There are many strange abilities, just to be on the safe side, we can only send more guards."
The guards of the observation facility have already received orders, and they were not surprised by the personal visit of the planet chief, but quickly completed the certification and admission procedures. Hao Ren walked into this strangely shaped building under the leadership of Talam. He looked at the little green men who were busy running around along the way: "Have you locked them up for several months?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not 'imprisonment'." Talam shook his huge head, and the green color of his skin became deeper, which indicated that he was serious about the word. "They're not criminals, they're just a little... restless, plus In fact, we can't guarantee whether these four people are important figures or explorers in other civilization circles, so we don't want to control them too strictly. When conditions permit, we let them relax in the ecological park behind the observation facility, so that Somewhat in exchange for a little bit of their approval—if not for this, we wouldn’t even have a chance to decipher their language, and they didn’t even speak a word to us for the first two months.”
"Ascetic monks are a bunch of stubborn guys. And there are many taboos," Becky whispered next to Hao Ren. "Especially since they were transported out of the church with the Templar Orb, presumably they will see this as a kind of 'test' from the goddess, and the Campbells... must be regarded as demons."
In Hao Ren's opinion, an extreme creature like an ascetic monk is the most difficult guy in the world to deal with. Even if he hasn't met him personally, he can guess that he must be difficult to get along with, so until now he is still thinking about what to do for a while. Talk to those four people. Hearing Becky's words at this time, he couldn't help but whisper: "How do you think those four ascetic monks can trust us?"
Betsy thought about it. Nodding vigorously: "Think of a way to get involved with religion—it would be even better if you were more courageous and thoughtful and could directly relate to the goddess."
Hao Ren nodded to show his understanding, and followed Talam's pace again. They had already found out that the four ascetic monks were "relaxing" in the ecological garden in the backyard at this time, so they went directly through the main body of the building to the second half of the observation facility. This enclosed ecological garden is isolated from the outside world with solid glass walls and light beam grids. Through the transparent barrier, Hao Ren can see a lot of tall broad-leaved plants in lavender and blue-green on the opposite side, forming an alien garden with a unique atmosphere . Talam pointed to the figure between the two broad-leaved plants: "These are the four of them. Now it's their time... um, 'meditation', they call this process of sitting still and motionless 'meditation'. "
Hao Ren poked his head and looked inside, and saw four people in gray robes sitting on the floor in the ecological garden. One of them is in the middle, and the other three are guarding outside in a zigzag shape. The gray robes on them were worn out, but their figures were not as emaciated as the ascetics in Hao Ren's impression. Three of the four took off their hoods. Hao Ren was surprised to find that there were women among the ascetic monks: the two gray-robed men with long hair were obviously women from the side profile and vague figure.
At this time, the four ascetic monks also broke away from the temporary meditation, and they raised their heads and talked softly with each other. Seeing this, Hao Ren led Becky and the others towards the entrance of the ecological park, and at the same time waved to Talam: "Leave the rest to us. You wait outside."
Talam heaved a sigh of relief as he backed away. Although his big green face was expressionless, it was obviously a lot lighter, which was a sign of relaxation. To be honest, these four ascetic monks have put a lot of pressure on everyone in the past few months, mainly because of their weird personalities and various taboos, which make the little green people who are used to rampage in everything quite at a loss. In the past few months, there have been three groups of guards on guard who have applied for time off. Campbells are not afraid of death, but they are really afraid of these moody (in their opinion) ascetics.
This is also thanks to Campbell's high quality and long-term vision. It's not easy for these little green men to endure until now...
The rustling sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves suddenly came from the entrance of the ecological park, and the four ascetic monks immediately stopped talking. They quickly jumped up and turned to the source of the sound, all of them had unusually serious and guarded faces.
However, this alert look quickly turned into shock.
What appeared in front of them were not those green creatures holding strange weapons and "scheming evil" against the orb, but a group of living human beings just like them—werewolves and vampires were also human beings to them, and the fish hanging on Hao Ren's arm Then you can not study what it is for the time being.
"Goddess has mercy!" An ascetic monk exclaimed exaggeratedly. He quickly clasped his hands on his chest and looked in Hao Ren's direction. "Humans! Humans like us! Is it the reinforcements sent by the goddess? Compatriots who were also caught by those green creatures? Where did you come from?"
"I'll pick you up from here," Hao Ren had expected the other party's reaction to be exaggerated. He waved his hand to relax the four men in gray robes in front of him, "Sit down first, I know your situation, I know you have Where did you come from and how did you come here? Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hao Ren... "
"My name is Becky!" The mercenary girl immediately followed up and yelled, "I'm a mercenary from Holleta Kingdom! A northerner!"
The eyes of the four men in gray robes lit up again when they heard the word "Holleta". Just now they were just pleasantly surprised to see humans with the same appearance as themselves, but now they can truly confirm that the humans in front of them are "Holetta". people". The younger one of the two female ascetics looked at Hao Ren and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Do you know how we got here?"
"You were sent here from the chapel," Hao Ren recalled Becky's confession, and tried to drag the topic to the mysterious atmosphere of the church. "At that time, there should have been a flash of light that swept you together with a part of the chapel." You shouldn't be able to feel the power of the goddess here, because this place is very far away from your hometown, even so far away that you can't understand, and the Hui Yao Sect has never set foot in this place."
"You really know..." The ascetic monk who spoke first nodded, and the person in front of him could tell these details, which was enough to give him an extra layer of trust, "My friend, you are also the messenger of the goddess? Why don't you wear The holy robe of the church?"
Hao Ren waved his hand: "I'm not a clergyman... no, I'm a clergyman, but I'm not the same as you... No, I'm a contract clergyman... Forget it, I don't understand, anyway, I'm not from the Huiyao Sect , but I can help you now."
The ascetic monk didn't react too much when he heard Hao Ren say that he was not a member of the church. He just nodded indifferently: "Then do you know what's going on? Why were we sent to this place?"
"Actually, you are no longer in your own world..." Hao Ren sighed, and then, with the assistance of Becky, told each other the situation of the Dream Plane and the Surface World. He really wanted to scare these ascetic monks with some frightening information at first, but after thinking about it... Damn, is there anything more frightening than the dream plane itself
Sure enough, there was no need to add more details. Hao Renguang startled the four ascetics as soon as he explained the two concepts of the dream plane and the outer world, and then explained the problem of crossing the world. Out of words. The hoarse female monk stared at Hao Ren: "You said we passed through a portal and came to another world?! How far is it from the land under the protection of the goddess?"
"The distance is indescribable," Hao Ren spread his hands, "The gap between two worlds is a concept that only gods can measure."
"Then who are you?" The bearded ascetic who hadn't said anything seemed to realize something, he looked at Hao Ren fixedly, "You are not a servant of the goddess, I don't even think you are People of the Goddess—but you are obviously on our side, who are you?"
Hao Ren spread his hands: "Traffic police!" (To be continued~^~)
