Chapter 386: Adjusting the Lawyer I
“Rong Lai, I’ll leave it to you to take care of the nearby volcano bugs. You just need to keep an eye on the [Bishop] to prevent blind bugs from crossing the border.”< br>
The voice of Yan Lin, who was responsible for guarding the volcano insect swarm nearby, came from Rong Lai's hearing organ, and he heard the obvious impatience in the other person's words.
As guardians, they actually don’t care much about the work of taking care of animals. Or should I say, they look down on this job. They feel that this kind of job should be left to the bottom bacteria. Farmers do it.
Volcano worms are small bugs that can survive in lava valleys. They feed on microorganisms in lava and have extremely high heat tolerance. The special mineral substances they secrete can promote [ Yerniya] The bacteria grow on the bacteria culture tank above their heads, so [Sulfide City] also specially divided an area to raise them.
The adaptability of volcano worms is extremely strong, and the inner earth world has evolved a variety of volcano worm groups. They have sulfur-colored eyes, black ink-like appearances, and bodies covered with horns.
Most volcano bugs are violent and aggressive. The danger of a single volcano worm is low, but if a group of volcanoes forms a sea of worms, the risk factor will begin to increase exponentially.
Therefore, the important task of protecting the volcano can only be left to the most combat-effective guardians in Yerniya.
At this moment, Yan Lin, who was off duty, was waving his six limbs with joy. He raised one of the limbs, pulled off two of them with three fingers, and the remaining one pointed straight The volcano worms are crawling in an orderly manner in front of them.
“That is a convenient sheepfold made by wise men based on the knowledge on the sacred object cube. The word sheepfold has a very weird pronunciation of syllables, two less than the pronunciation of our Yerniya language. Through semantic analysis, the wise men believed that the so-called sheepfold was used to drive away some kind of creature similar to the volcano. Through research, the wise men finally discovered the name of this creature - lamb.
Once upon a time, a wise man proposed to change the sheep pen into an insect pen. However, we Yelnia have always respected knowledge and civilization, so this proposal was rejected. It is still called a sheep pen in Yelnia, although all Yelnia Nia has never seen the so-called lamb. ”
Rong’s eyes looked at the strange-looking instrument. The shell tissue near his compound eye blinked rapidly. The power supply device in front that should have been used to connect the portable sheep pen had been turned off at some point. It has become a simple geofiber rope.
“The portable sheep pen can be used to drive volcanoes around on the bacterial lawn, but it is mostly idle at any time. Few volcanoes will try to cross that line. At night, drive the volcanoes across the creek to the circle with the largest swarm of volcanoes. You will soon find that the volcanoes will definitely stay in the circle and stay far away from the fence. The fence does not even need to be brought. The upper unit comes with its own power-on feature, so use a rope instead, which makes it easier to move. "Yan Lin explained to Rong Lai
"What should we do with the newly born volcanic worms or the newly arrived volcanic worms? "
Rong Xi asked, tilting his head and looking at Yan Lin with his compound eyes with a strange luster. Yan Lin naturally understood what Rong Xi meant.
"They will wander," Yanlin admitted Rong Lai's suspicion, and continued, "But they won't cause trouble and will quickly learn to be gregarious. The strange thing is - you will be interested in this phenomenon, Rong Lai - -The strange thing is that most of these volcano bugs have never hit the fence and been electrocuted. Most of them were born after we disconnected the wires."
At this moment, Yan Lin looked down at the well like a creator. The volcanoes who advanced in sequence said in an extremely arrogant tone:
"So, it has become a tradition for these volcanoes to never approach the rope - the volcanoes learned this from their elders, and they never question their elders' opinions. Judgment!"
"Fortunately, volcano bugs can't speak," Rong Lai stared closely at the harmless rope in front of him. "Otherwise, there must be one among them. The wise volcano who asks: 'Why?'"
"One day the doubting volcano baby will touch the rope with its horns, and nothing will happen, but, in silence, the whole thing will. This will shake the foundation of the volcano breeding colony,”
Rong Yan said this with an inexplicable tone. He swore that he had never spoken such depressing Yelnya language in the past as he did at this moment. He seemed to be returning to his younger self in the apprenticeship class, always questioning the rules of the wise and the accuracy of the "Great Code". At that time, he was always laughed at by other apprentices of the same class, so he rarely mentioned it later. Disobeying the wise men's stupid words, when he was patrolling with Guibo, he quoted the wise men's words to refute the other party's stupidity.
But now, he felt that he was back to his stupid self in the past. He retorted to Yanlin with some obsession. He said to him extremely seriously:
"And now After silence, the volcano bug swarms will cross these ropes and riot!"
"I should have told you earlier," Yan Lin said calmly, "A large part of the traditional power comes from you watching over there! A quiet animal." He pointed out a beautiful [Abyssal Moth].
It is a large moth that is extremely sensitive to weak light. It likes to gather near the glow moss and has extremely strong fighting power. When it waves its two black wing membranes , will set off terrifying cutting wind blades, these wind blades can easily tear the enemy into pieces.
[Abyss Moth] and [Yelnia] are bound together through a strain of bacteria called [Symbiotic Mutual Helper Bacteria]. They are equivalent to the "dogs" domesticated by Yelnia.
At this moment, the abyss moth looked at them at a distance.
“We call him bishop.”
Yan Lin continued to say to Rong Lai in a leisurely manner:
“Bishop is another unfamiliar word. But what is certain is that in a certain civilization that we do not know clearly, there are creatures called lambs. They have been taught everything by their elders since they were born, and they deeply believe in the words of their elders and regard these words as indispensable. The highest law of disobedience, even if these laws sometimes seem very stupid and ridiculous.
Of course, there must be wise men among the lambs. However, there is a creature called a bishop who is responsible for hunting wise men or driving them away. The bishops hope that the lambs will continue to be stupid. As for the reason, I think it may be because they are two kinds of people. Different creatures, that's why the bishop hates the lambs so much, wishing they would remain stupid forever. ”
Yanlin patted Rong Lai’s chitin shell, and then left here gracefully.
Rong Lai was silent, and there was an inexplicable sense of absurdity pressing against him. , he recalled a scene in his mind that he had never wanted to recall before.
In the scene he recalled, he was sitting next to a weak germ lamp in a dark room. Six Limbs tightly held a cube of knowledge used to spread the message of the Wise Ones. Through the tentacles in his hands, he quickly read the content on the cube, which read: "War against Tyrannox." Victory has been won, let all Yelnia rejoice! "
However, just now, the knowledge cube he received on the front line was clearly printed on it: "The war against Tyrannox is still going on, eliminate these disgusting guys who are trying to destroy the holy objects. ”
Rong Yan still held the previous block in his hand, and his eyes swept from one side to the other. There was no confusion or doubt in his compound eyes.
His thoughts reflected firm belief, as if two completely contradictory facts were both true in his heart. His compound eyes moved rapidly back and forth over the square, convinced at one moment that the war had been won, and at the next completely convinced that the war was still going on.
This transformation was so quick and natural, as if these two diametrically opposed facts coexisted harmoniously in his heart without any conflict.
There is a lot of information in the knowledge cube, all of which is conclusive.
Yes, with so much information and supporting evidence, how could Yelnia not believe it?
Are they contradictory to each other?
But there are so many of them like a torrent!
You didn’t see it with your own eyes, couldn’t you see the gaps in the truth?
But these are the words of a wise man!
There is an absurd sense of depression in the surrounding air, as if time and logic have been distorted and become something beyond common sense.
Bishop and Lamb.
The Lamb and the Bishop. Bishops and wise men.
The Lambs and the Yernians.
The wise men and the Yernians.
Bishop, wise man, lamb, Yerniya, bishop, lamb...
Boom! ! !
The huge knocking sound pulled Rong Lai out of the huge sense of absurdity. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and the chest shell exuded special chemicals that Yelnia would only release in an emergency.
“Oh, you finally stopped being in a daze. I thought you would continue to stand there for a while, but I didn’t expect that you woke up before the low-radiation pulse came. It seems that your cognitive impedance coefficient It's a little taller than I thought. Is it because of the difference in the brain? Is Yerniya just like the insects in the world, without a cerebral cortex and just a simple organ composed of several main nerve masses (segments)? "
A gentle voice came into Rong Lai's mind through his sensory organs. He looked forward subconsciously, and then his pupils tightened. He didn't know when he started to be pulled into an extremely strange space. .
In the dim room, the weak light barely illuminated a few pieces of furniture.
A low wooden coffee table stood quietly in the center of the room, with a slightly old book and an untouched cup of black tea placed on it. There is a rocking chair in the corner, lying there quietly, as if waiting for someone to come and sit down.
In one corner, an ancient desk lamp casts a faint light.
Under the dim light of the desk lamp, the center of the table is particularly eye-catching. A chessboard is neatly placed there, with black and white squares clearly visible. The chessboard appears as a square, divided into 64 small grids, each The grid alternates between black and white, creating a sharp contrast.
Eight rows and eight columns are neatly arranged, with clear boundaries and full colors.
On one side of the chessboard, a man wearing strange clothes and a transparent glass cover on his head was sitting next to a chair. His index finger rhythmically tapped the empty table on the side of the chessboard. It was the same person who woke up Rong Xi just now. Strange knocking sound.
“Where is this!!!”
Everything around him is too strange to this Yelnia, the strange furniture, strange decorations, and... There are strange creatures.
At this moment, the flowers on Rong Lai's head suddenly bloomed, and the terrifying bacteria began to spread outward. At the same time, the chitinous shell on his appearance also began to expand violently.
“Unlike ordinary insects, the compound eye structure of ordinary insects is relatively fixed and will not change due to the insect’s emotional or psychological state, such as fear and anger. However, Yerniya is obviously different. Their eyes There is obvious emotional feedback, and the compound eyes are very sensitive to light changes.”
The strange creature ignored him. Instead, it continued to play with the white chess piece in its hand with great interest and talked to itself.
And this made Rong Lai even more angry. He hated this strange species that pretended to be gods and ghosts, so he decided to use violence.
His body swelled to the extreme under the action of various enhanced bacterial strains, and the surrounding area was covered with toxins. His body sank slightly, and then shot out like a cannonball, with six limbs directly Blast towards the opponent's facade.
『Buzz——』
A strange sound sounded. At this moment, Rong Xi only felt his feet staggering, and his core was unstable.
So, he quickly adjusted his limbs and then raised his head again.
"How could..."
The beak-like organ in the mouth of Ronglu opened in surprise at this moment, and his compound eyes couldn't help but have an inexplicable feeling. Horrified.
He returned to his original location.
As if going back in time, he followed the clock in the opposite direction and returned to the starting point.
"When you see aliens, oh, we are all from Terra, so to put it another way, when you see an alien species, you shouldn't be curious. Why did you come up and intend to crush me to ashes?"
Rong Yan saw the strange creature in front of him tilting his head and talking to himself in the most authentic Yelnya language.
He felt like he was going crazy.
What on earth is going on with all this inexplicable stuff!
He needs someone to answer him.
"Who are you, the new bipedal species of Tyrannox?" Rong Lai asked, suppressing the fear in his heart and looking at the strange species in front of him with extreme fear.
Dong dong dong~
The strange creature stretched out its hand, knocked on the glass mask above its head, and continued to speak inexplicably in Yerniya language. words.
“The bipedal walking species seems to be indeed the mechanical species of [Amoni City State]. Are bionic humans or simple robots?”
“Answer me, what do you think? What is it! ! ” Rong Yan roared like a dying beast.
"What am I?"
Rong Lao saw the strange creature in front of him lowering his head in thought. The other person seemed to be thinking about how to answer his question.
“If you ask me my current name, then you can call me, Hugh Abraham; well, if you follow the script that is going to follow, my name should be Mephistopheles, which is more suitable.
Of course, I can provide you with another code name now, which is more suitable for our current situation. You can call me: Lawyer Tiao.”
