Chapter 1218: Unrecognizable truths in the shadows

Views:

The Star of God has gradually sank to the horizon, and it seems that it will go around the planet for a week before leaving. Anulili was obviously relieved after the Star of God completely disappeared in the sky. Although protected by Lilina's power, she temporarily She was no longer affected by the God Star, but the golden glow still made her subconsciously hide in the shadows. Now she is chatting with Qianqian?—to be precise, Qianqian is pulling her to chat. Anulili has no ability to resist Qianqian, who has super mobility and thinking speed. At this time, she has been completely stunned up. My suggestion to her is: Just smile from beginning to end, anyway, if you answer seriously, Qianqian probably won't be able to pay attention to your answer for two seconds. At the same time, thanks to Qianqian's nonsense, Anulili didn't even have time to ask what happened to Lilina's magical ability before, and she was distracted and forgot about it, and at that time she was a little nervous due to severe nerve pain and sexual desire. Delirious, most likely because she couldn't remember Lilina's actions.

Pandora has no interest in this place, and the extremely bored 1.2-meter is leaning against the door in a daze, while her younger sister is always full of curiosity, and now she is lying on the ground studying the wood of this world. The jingle in my pocket has fallen asleep, and I can hear very, very small breathing from my chest when I hold my breath. The little guy still turns over in his pocket occasionally, saying a few words in his sleep: This is really difficult for others Funny moments of empathy. Sandora pushed open the window and looked at the villagers who were gradually dispersing outside, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Miss Lin looked around the room, looking at this somewhat dim, but rather spacious, simple room.

The furnishings in the house are rough and simple, with wooden furniture. Wooden utensils, walls made of wood chips and grass leaves. All of this looks primitive, simple but natural and harmonious. This is Anulili's room, but we can't see how many girls' boudoirs should have the atmosphere here—I mean according to the people of the earth. vision. There is a mirror made of some kind of silver-white metal near the wall, giving people the same feeling as an ancient bronze mirror. This is Anulili's dressing table. It seems that in this world where everyone's thoughts are highly controlled, people are indifferent to their personal image and clothing. Anulili, who is out of control, does not dare to reveal her specialness too much, so her room is as expressive as possible. Unremarkable. But after some observation. I still found something that interested me: in the corner on the other side of the room, there was a wooden board against the wall, and something was painted on it with bright paint.

"What is this?" Although it was not proper to move around in other people's rooms, I still couldn't help picking up the one-foot-square wooden board, and found that it turned out to be a painting: In the vast wilderness , there is a family, no one can be seen on the screen. There is a strangely shaped "car" next to the light gray hut, and in the sky above the screen, there are...

"I just drew it randomly when I was bored," Anu Lili hurriedly snatched the board from me, "It's imaginary, no one else can understand it... By the way. Your room is opposite, There are only two rooms available, sorry, it might be a little crowded, but you are family. I don't think you mind?"

Of course I could see the obvious intention of thanking guests, so I thanked him. Lead everyone out of the room. Qianqian happily tugged at my arm: "Then I share a room with Ah Jun?"

Sandora shrugged: "Me too, you two have been sticky enough these two days, I have to strengthen my sense of existence."

I turned my gaze to Missy, and as expected, Miss Lin blushed immediately, and grabbed Pandora who was making beeping sounds and Viska who was studying the wood grain on the wall: "Don't even think about it, Pandora and I A house. You dirty wood!"

Me: "..." By the way, miss, you think too much, don't you? I really just want to sleep...

Lilina looked at the two groups of people with her head probed, and then walked over with a natural face and hugged my arm: "I'm with the boss..."

The eldest lady grabbed the girl and said, "Don't make trouble!"

This can be regarded as our family's daily play, and then we start talking about business. Sandora touched my arm: "Ah Jun, did you see the painting just now, the ones on the picture..."

"It's some kind of aircraft in the sky," I nodded. The content of the picture just now is still fresh in my memory. Anulili may think that we "ordinary people" can't understand the high-tech things on it, but I am 100% sure. Make sure, the top of the screen is an advanced spaceship, "and it doesn't look like Melova's style. There is also a car on the ground, which is also a mechanical thing, and it is also not Melova's style. This Anuli Li... You know a lot of things, now I suspect that the Melova people have hidden a lot of things on this planet, and these seemingly uncivilized natives are probably not that simple."

"It's not clear yet, let's talk about it tomorrow," Sandora shook her head, "I didn't eat enough tonight, I'm hungry, give me something to eat~~"

I:"… "

There was nothing to talk about that day and night, and what I don’t like to see is that there was no incident of the big being slept with 3P. By the way, the eldest lady also thought too much of me, how can a great and righteous person like us be so ridiculous what? Of course, what's even more regrettable is that I didn't see the scene of Sandora and Qianqian Lily. These two disagree with life and death... By the way, what am I thinking about this early in the morning

Originally, we planned to leave immediately after a short stay in this village to find large cities on this planet, but the information collected yesterday made everyone dispel this idea. It seems that there are enough things that can be touched in such a small village We analyze many things. And according to the information sent back by the probes released by Sandora, there are almost no so-called big cities on this planet, and it is meaningless to look for larger settlements.

Sandora called us all together early in the morning, and showed everyone the information sent back by the probe. First of all, it is the phenomenon of civilization suppression and abnormal population distribution in this world.

"All the places on the planet where there are human settlements, the level of civilization is at the same stage," Sandora said, sealing the surrounding space. Prevent someone from breaking in, and then turn on the projection device of the data terminal. What is shown above are countless pictures taken by the probe: from all over the planet, various landscapes, and small settlements one after another. Although these pictures come from different places, those settlements with human settlements seem to have almost no There is no difference, at most there is a difference in scale, but judging by the degree of civilization development, they are all the same. "Mastering a certain metal smelting technology, without complex machinery and automatic machinery, if we use the analogy of the age on the earth, it is the early feudal society, and the whole world is maintained at this stage. Under normal circumstances, a planet in the stage of ignorant civilization is not There may be this kind of unification process. This should be the result of the control of the Melova people. In addition, this is the population distribution." Sandora said. Opened the panorama of the planet, on which the population distribution on the planet was marked with colors, and it was gray: "It is abnormally uniform, and every place suitable for local indigenous humans has the same population density, which is also controlled by the Melova people. Disturbingly, it is impossible to achieve this precise balance by controlling the birth rate alone. So the Melova must also control the death rate in these places...you know what I mean."

"Anu Lili mentioned several times that 'they' will take some people away," Qianqian nodded, "They said they would take them to the kingdom of gods to enjoy eternal life or something. The people taken away are regardless of gender or age." The local people regard this as a high honor, and the people who are taken away are called the chosen ones or something... Could it be that the Merova people took away the extra population and killed them?"

"If this is the case, then the Melova people are simply unreasonable and completely inconsistent with their intelligence as an advanced civilization," Sandora snorted. "In order to control the population of the indigenous people, carry out precise massacres? If it makes sense to do so, a lunatic would not do such a thing.”

"What is this form?" Miss Lin looked at the image on the projection screen and found a statistical form, "Saint?"

"It is the Merova people who appear in front of the local indigenous people in the form of 'gods descending into the world'. They appear when the following situations occur: when they take away the chosen one, when they 'gift' psychotoxins and fuel, and when the local When an abnormal situation occurs. The information is collected by other agents, who have already contacted the indigenous people in other places on the planet... Well, Jun, don’t show that kind of look, the imperial agents are not that stupid, they will also Mingling with the local residents... Well, although it's not as smooth as ours."

I nodded knowingly, thinking that this rhythm is right...

"Have you found anything in other worlds?" Miss Lin was fiddling with Sandora's data terminal, "Hey, let me go, do you want to play a flash bomb like this, and use this stupid wooden figure as the system theme?"

Me: "... Seriously, let's be serious—but Sandora, when did you take these photos?"

Sandora didn't look embarrassed at all, pointing to her eyes: "Just save what you see as image information, as long as you are in sight, I will record it and put it in the database."

Everyone: "..." Lin Xue: "...you two are enough!"

Sandora shrugged indifferently: "Information about other worlds is here. Take a look, these are real scenes."

She called out a series of pictures and short videos, and we immediately leaned forward, muttering shallowly: "Eh? This doesn't look like anything? It's much more normal, cities, spaceships, holographic billboards... It looks very advanced. .”

"That's it. Most of the colonial worlds of the Melovas have a normal level of technology, which is in line with their nature as an advanced civilization colony. There are only three 'medieval planets' like ours now, and they are all located in the same place. within a galaxy."

"There are two other planets like here?!" I was suddenly quite surprised.

Sandora smiled meaningfully: "It's not just the same situation, the aborigines on those two planets... are the same race as the aborigines on this planet we live in."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"With their current level of civilization, it is of course impossible to go to other planets, so there are only two possibilities for this situation, or, the Melovas brought them there, just like taking livestock to other farms to graze , these aborigines were kept in captivity by the Melova people as animals, or... a long time ago, these aborigines had the ability to reach other planets!"

As soon as Sandora made this statement, everyone was quiet. I believe she has sufficient reasons for making this judgment. And while she mentioned this possibility, several details of what I encountered yesterday also emerged in my mind:

The words that Anulili occasionally uttered far exceeded her "superficial" cognition level. The UFO left behind by her random graffiti, as well as her planned and conscious action to reduce the intake of nerve agents-this action itself is beyond the level of cognition that an ignorant civilized native can have.

"Anulili thinks that we are the accused who are as shallow as the ordinary people around me, so when she speaks in front of us, there are many words that should not be spoken by her at the beginning," Sandora turned off own data terminal, because she found that Miss Lin had already started playing Tetris on it, "I think we can use this opportunity to gain her trust and contact her as a native of this planet. Maybe we can get unexpected intelligence."

"Well, I agree," Lin Xue nodded, "contacting her as an unknown alien will be a bad thing, and will cause unnecessary sacrifices in the future. In addition, some things I saw are a bit incomplete, and I need to talk to Anuli After Li touches it, fill it up."

"Speaking of which, how is the mission on the fleet going?" I looked at Sandora. It has been a day and a night to be separated from the main force. According to the speed of the Xiling starship and the efficiency of the equipment, they should have reached the entire territory of Melova by now.

"The blockade operation has progressed to 25 percent," Sandora replied, "The Melovas have installed highly sensitive void detection devices on the border, and the fleet has no choice but to go to the area where the information offset exceeds 10 percent." Carry out a blockade. The workload is greater than expected. Speaking of which, the sentries found an interesting thing: the void detection devices set up by the Merova people on the border have been operating for more than 70,000 years, that is to say, those things It was set up after they betrayed the empire and fled to this place, as a means of warning the old master. This is quite normal, but these detection devices have not been replaced for 70,000 years... However, the Melovas did not It's not that there is no technology to make this detector. They are fully capable of updating these devices. Jun, what do you think this means?"

"They know that the Xiling Empire has completely turned off the lights, so they feel at ease?"

"The servants of the old empire actually know very little about the void. Generally, they can only get superficial technical support from their masters, but they don't get any higher-level knowledge... No one even told them the common sense of the void. May The Rowa people probably think that the empire is the strongest and only threat, so they never thought that there are other things in the void. As traitors, the more they openly betray, the more anxious they will be in their hearts. The shadow of the empire may have already spread Their hearts are infinitely enlarged, so that they completely cover their eyes looking at other areas of the void."

Sandora sighed so much, the eldest lady couldn't help complaining: "In the final analysis, it's not that there was a problem with your policy back then..."

Sandora: "...we don't discuss this issue."

The sun shines into the house through the grass lattice of the window, and the sky outside is already bright now. The night of this planet is about two hours longer than that of the earth, so out of habit, we woke up very early, and we talked outside until now of the villagers began to go out for activities. It is probably the first time in my life that I wake up before the sun rises—Of course Ding Dong is still sleeping in my pocket. Wake up whenever you want, make noise in the middle of the night, live a relaxed and free life—except for a little bit of trouble for me. I stretched out my hand and carefully stuffed back a piece of Ding Dong's wing that protruded from the pocket, and then covered the pocket, only to find that several pairs of eyes on the opposite side were looking at this side. "Uh, what's the matter?"

The eldest lady pointed to my chest: "Did you just cover the little thing with a quilt?"

Lilina curled her lips: "It really feels like a mattress."

I:"… "

"Look outside, the villagers are starting to work." Sandora turned her head to look out of the window, while pushing open the grass fan on the window, I looked out and found groups of young and middle-aged villagers carrying all kinds of The strange-shaped farm tools went out of the village. There is no conversation, no looking around, not even a routine greeting in the morning. After the working hours start, they only have the word work in their minds. Talking and looking around are unnecessary, which makes them look like a group of people queuing up line of machines. In other parts of the village, children in rags were squatting in front of their respective houses, playing with stones, digging soil, and pulling weeds—yes, it looked like they were playing, but there was nothing on the faces of these children. No smiles can be seen, even if there are three or two children together, there is almost no conversation between them, just "playing" silently as if completing a task, as if this is just to make a machine fit its "children" nameplate. In this way, working routinely, eating routinely, playing routinely, even breathing and walking routinely, a village starts its orderly but meaningless day routinely with the clock running precisely.

The Melova people have really done something amazing.

"Guests, are you still awake?"

When I was sighing, Anuza's brisk voice suddenly came from outside the door. This young man's relaxed and cheerful voice was in stark contrast to the bewildered crowd outside. The first thought in my mind was: Thanks to Anuza Lili was able to hide her brother for so long before agreeing: "Oh, let's go down now."

"Hey, why is the door so still, it seems to be locked... Oh, I see, breakfast is ready. According to the rules of the village, the village chief must accompany the guests to eat in person. My sister and I are waiting for you below."

"Go down first," I looked at everyone, "and then study how to get close to sister Anuza." RS
