Chapter 636 Cooperation?
Everyone was frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster.
Xu Xin was already covered in cold sweat at this time, staring intently at the monster leaning against the wall in front of him.
Seeing this monster up close with your own eyes for the first time is really amazing...
Somewhat nauseating.
Fortunately, the monster in front of him has closed all the other eyes on his body. Although this appearance still makes people have goosebumps all over their bodies, at least it is not completely impossible to look at.
"You...how did you get in!"
Xu Ying walked to the front of the crowd in two steps and blocked everyone.
Although she is also afraid of the monster in front of her, she is also the person who knows the monster in front of her best among the people present. If she doesn't stand up, how can others stand up?
"You are my kind." The half-human, half-monster creature looked at Xu Ying, grinning even wider.
"Who is the same kind as you!" Xu Ying pointed the gun in her hand at the monster in front of her, "How did you get in? You don't think you can do whatever you want in our World Tree!"
"Don't be impulsive." The monster stretched out its two very uncoordinated arms, which were longer than its legs, and pressed down. "I don't want to conflict with you this time. , but, cooperation.”
It spoke this paragraph slowly and intermittently, but in the end it was said completely.
"Cooperation?"
Everyone in the explorers was shocked by the words of the monster in front of them, but no one put down their weapons and still pointed the black muzzle at the monster in front of them.
However, except Xu Ying, everyone remained silent for the time being.
Because Xu Ying said, the monster in front of him has a very weird temper, and it is impossible to predict what it will do in the next second.
At this time, it will be much safer because Xu Ying, whom it knows, is responsible for testing.
"What do you mean by cooperation?" Xu Ying's tone was slightly relaxed.
It's not that she has relaxed her vigilance against the monster in front of her, it's just that this monster does have a history of cooperating with their organization, and more than once.
Therefore, these words spoken from the mouth of the monster in front of him are indeed somewhat convincing.
The monster did not answer Xu Ying's question, but looked at Xu Xin. A trace of complicated emotions seemed to flash through the only two open eyes.
Then it looked at Shi Wanyun, who was sitting on the sofa and staring blankly at the ground.
Then, its mouth opened again: "Shi Wanyun? You didn't have the task I gave you. Complete it."
Shi Wanyun's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously raised her head to look at the monster.
She soon discovered that she no longer seemed to have the bone-deep fear she had before about the monster in front of her.
Although it still makes people feel physically uncomfortable, and although there is still some fear, it is more because the monster's appearance is so ugly, coupled with the previous psychological shadow.
This situation made her breathe out slowly, and the frightened look on her face slowly disappeared.
She stood up and looked at the monster: "I will no longer be controlled by you. Naturally, I can no longer kill Xu Xin as you wish."
She took two steps forward, and together with Xu Ying, stood in front of Xu Xin.
Li Wenxi also took two steps towards Xu Xin, pointing the weapon in his hand at the monster's head.
Xu Xin said at this time: "I think you don't want to kill me anymore."
"Of course." The monster took a step forward.
"Don't move!" Xu Ying shouted sternly, "You are no match for me in this World Tree!"
"I, I told you, I have no hostility." The monster turned to look at Xu Ying, and the two eyes on his neck also opened. At the same time, the other eyes on his body also tended to open.
However, it still closed the eye on its neck and spat out words from its mouth full of sharp teeth: "I really can't do anything to you here, but what about them? What about the humans outside? Think about it. ”
Xu Ying held the gun in her hand tighter, her face turned pale.
The monster in front of her, like her, has space-time capabilities. Although it can no longer use its time and space ability to teleport to the outside world, if it wants to kill people, no one can stop it.
"Yingying, everyone, put down your guns. Let's have a good chat with it." Xu Xin looked at the monster in front of her and said.
This monster does seem to be more sincere.
It didn't carry any weapons, and it really showed no intention of attacking.
At the same time, it only opened two eyes on its face. It seemed to be caring about the feelings of everyone present, and deliberately made it similar to humans, hoping that the people present would not be disgusted by its appearance.
"I think so too." Ji Chaoyang said.
With that said, he put down the weapon in his hand: "Since it is cooperation, let's sit down and talk."
"If it wants to kill us, why show up..." Zeng Tao muttered softly.
"I like what you said." The monster looked at Zeng Tao and grinned.
"Eh-" Zeng Tao was frightened and took a small step back.
"Hmm... I also think it's here to cooperate with us." The gun in Wen Guixin's hand was no longer pointed at the monster.
The members of the Explorers lowered their guns.
Only Xu Ying was still holding the gun, her face uncertain.
"Yingying..."
"Brother, you don't know." Xu Ying stared at the monster in front of her. "I said, this guy has a very weird temper. He may be very friendly one second, but he can kill directly the next second. What he said , I won’t believe a word of it.”
Xu Ying has very pessimistic thoughts about this monster entering the World Tree.
She is now in a very confused state of mind, and has even come up with the idea of driving this monster out of the World Tree at all costs, even if many survivors are sacrificed.
Because this monster in front of me is simply a psychopath!
Xu Ying and her team have cooperated with this monster more than once. Each time her team will make great progress, and each time, her team will suffer huge losses!
Every time the team at that time saw this monster, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
But there was no way. They couldn't fight against this monster at that time. Its identity and strength were beyond the reach of the team at that time. As a result, they were forced to accept every cooperation.
But I have to say...
The various equipment and technologies this monster brought them every time were what they urgently needed.
All in all, this guy cannot be judged by common sense at all!
Xu Ying's words made everyone present feel tense.
Of course, everyone present did not believe the monster in front of them and were always on guard. Although the gun was no longer pointed at the monster, everyone still held the gun in their hands.
How could such a weird monster that suddenly appeared in the World Tree convince the people present with just a few words?
They just want to get some useful information from the monster's mouth as soon as possible.
"I think you don't have to worry about this anymore."
The monster spoke.
Its words even sounded polite, but its voice was so strange and unpleasant that it made people panic.
"Because, I won't do that kind of thing anymore." The monster spread out its two dark arms that were longer than its legs. The eyes on the arms seemed to open and close subconsciously, "Now, I have already Okay, I have full control.”
"...What?" Xu Ying's eyes trembled slightly, "Were you really unable to control your spirit before?"
Every time this monster makes a move, it comes out of the blue.
Even in the subsequent several cooperations, they were always on guard, but there was still nothing they could do. The other party always seemed to find the most suitable opportunity to suddenly appear and make a sudden move.
Rivers of blood flowed.
This is why, when Xu Xin saw the monster in front of him, he felt like the end was coming.
This guy is completely crazy!
Fortunately, nearly twenty years before their team built a time machine and one operation caused the collapse of time and space, this guy never appeared again.
Therefore, when Xu Ying saw this monster in Shi Wanyun's memory, her scalp was really numb.
And now this guy suddenly appeared again, which directly aroused her, or their team's, fear of this mysterious monster.
As for the repeated jumping behavior of the monster in front of them, the most recognized idea among the team at the beginning was that the monster might be suffering from mental illness, similar to schizophrenia, or even split personality.
However, this kind of thing has never been confirmed, because the monster did not speak human language at the time, and could only communicate in sign language with its eyes-covered arms that made people feel physically uncomfortable.
Moreover, when it cooperates with their team, its attitude is really very good. Although it is also disgusted with the appearance of humans and does not communicate with the humans in the team many times, at least its attitude is better than that of other alien invaders. Too much.
It is precisely because of this that when it fell out for the first time, even people in the team couldn't believe it. Not even other alien invaders have done the cruel things it did!
As for why it is friendly to their team...
Xu Ying turned her head slightly.
"I am the offspring of a forcibly combined marriage between humans on earth and humans on the mother planet." The monster said, "My brain has always been abnormal since I was born. But now, it's... It’s okay.”
The monsters call the alien invaders humans on their home planet.
Perhaps in its view, the word "human" in human language is a collective term for intelligent creatures.
Everyone present was a little confused about the current situation. They didn't know much about monsters and couldn't make any conclusions. They could only look at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying's eyes were complicated at this time: "How did you cure your mental illness?"
"That's what you just discussed, the power of time and space." The monster said, "I allowed part of my brain to rapidly age and repair, so I became who I am now."
"Xu... Ying, you know, normally I would not take action against you." The monster looked at the people behind Xu Ying, "Long time no see. No... you are not them. Only Xu Ying Ying is.”
"...You speak human language well." Xu Ying slowly put down the gun in her hand.
"Thank you." The monster grinned again.
Just believe it for now.
If it really is what it says, that would be great...
Moreover, even if you point a gun at it now, it may not help.
Now, it can be teleported away directly like itself.
Xu Ying put down the gun in her hand, and the atmosphere in the tree house immediately became less tense.
"I have one thing to ask, how did you enter the World Tree?" Xu Ying stared at the monster.
The monster took out a cloak from somewhere and threw it on the ground in front of Xu Ying: "It's a good thing."
This is...
Cloak of the Invisible? !
"How could you have this?!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.
This is equipment that only he can make!
"Your stuff is pretty good." The monster grinned.
It seems to think that its expression is very friendly, but in the eyes of everyone, it is better not to grin, because it is more terrifying.
"Ah...!" Shi Wanyun looked at the cloak of the Hidden One on the ground and covered his mouth, "Is it... my one?"
According to No. 5, Shi Wanyun's cloak of the Invisible was thrown away after being damaged in the World Tree and was never recovered.
Was it picked up by the monster in front of me?
"Yes. It's very strange. It was originally broken, but I repaired it. Not bad." The monster said concisely, "This, cooperate with the teleportation. When you enter the World Tree, I followed you in."
It turns out to be like this!
This monster can enter the World Tree, but it still relies on Xu Xin's equipment?
Then it was not found in the corner just now... because of this cloak of the Invisible?
"This is really outrageous..." Lou Feier said to herself.
"The equipment you created by combining our technologies is very good." The monster continued to grin.
"...Let's sit down and talk." Xu Xin stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the sofa, "There are some things I want to ask you."
As a result, the monster did shake his head.
As it shook its head, the closed eyes on its body couldn't help but open, especially on its neck.
It can be clearly seen that it actually wants to open its eyes, but perhaps it really only opens the eyes on its face in order to make the people present less disgusted with it.
"There are too many people. I can't bear it." The monster looked at the people in front of him.
"...You want to break us up?" Xu Ying tightened her hand on the gun and frowned.
"No. I said, I'm not hostile. Please put yourself in someone else's shoes. I'm almost at the point where I can't stand it anymore." The monster even closed the eyes on his face and turned his head, not caring about the group of people in front of him. Everyone has a gun in their hand.
Everyone looked at each other.
Xu Ying helplessly held her forehead.
Xu Xin's mouth twitched slightly.
Ji Chaoyang's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Could this monster be...
"Ah...I see."
Li Wenxi looked at the monster and suddenly wanted to laugh.
"It sees how we feel, just like we see it. Imagine how it would feel to be surrounded by a group of monsters like it... um... I mean, alien creatures?"
"...hiss——"
"Oh my god..."
Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan even rubbed their arms frantically, trying to get rid of the goose bumps on their arms.
Even just imagining that scene makes people's sanity plummet!
Suddenly everyone present understood how the monster in front of them felt at this time.
Suddenly I felt that it was really not easy for it to have such a friendly conversation with them just now...
"What do you want?" Xu Ying asked.
The monster opened its eyes, raised its arms that were as long as the legs and knees, and pointed at Xu Ying.
"You."
Then he turned his arm and pointed at Xu Xin.
"You."
Then he pointed at Shi Wanyun.
"You."
Finally, he pointed to Wen Guixin.
"You."
"Four, my limit. Four, okay, sit down and discuss."
"Me?" Wen Guixin pointed to herself, a little confused, "Why am I here?"
Needless to say, Xu Ying will naturally participate in the discussion.
Xu Xin was the person the monster wanted to kill before. He had a deep connection with it and was the master of the World Tree.
Shi Wanyun had faced the monster before and was considered an acquaintance.
But Wen Guixin... what is the situation?
"Yes, you."
"It's okay, Sister Guixin." Xu Ying was not surprised, but nodded to the monster, "It's just the four of us, okay."
Xu Xin also nodded.
Naturally, Shi Wanyun did not refuse.
"Then let's leave first." Ji Chaoyang stood up, "Contact us if you need us."
There are a lot of things they need to do.
At least the survivors and former residents of the underground world should not be allowed close to this tree house.
Xu Xin winked slightly like Ji Chaoyang, lowered her eyes and glanced at the ground.
What he means is that the underground console can do many things.
Ji Chaoyang naturally understood, nodded slightly, and then left.
"...You have to be careful..." Li Wenxi whispered to Xu Xin and left.
Now, the only four people left in the treehouse were the four people appointed by the monster, and the monster itself.
"Now, let's talk about the cooperation you mentioned," Xu Ying said. (End of chapter)
