"Look for the right creatures, capture them, understand them, record them, we are...the catchers."

"You can move around here, watch as you like, ask questions at will, but you can't attack."

The sound of the tentacle disappeared after the two sentences were finished.

Lin's mini Susumi, scholar, and five other creatures look at the vast white platform in front of them...

It seems that there is a feeling that I don't know how to be good.

"What do we do..."

A creature that tells the question of all living things.

Although you can see the stars here, it is not in the void. If you look closely, there is a transparent wall between the starry sky and the platform.

At the same time, there are also some ... gases, so you can communicate.

"There should be a way to go back..." A creature said: "Since we are free to move, there will always be a way. We should look for it... Yes, what method did they bring us? We just use the same The way to go out."

"You are right." Another creature said: "Although the possibility is small, we have to look for it."

"Yes! Let's not give up, we must act! Yes!"

These five creatures seem to be planning to act in this way, while scholars look to the distance: "Where should we go to explore it... Let's go see it first."

Scholars point to a giant monster floating on a distant platform.

The diameter of this thing is more than three hundred meters, although it is quite huge, but it is still a cub... the cub of the Void Bus.

In addition to this, there are several nearby, they are more than one kilometer apart, these pups float slowly at a height of more than ten meters from the ground, as if living here.

On top of this open platform, they are indeed the most visible landscape.

"you!"

Just as the scholar was preparing to move, a creature next to it suddenly came over: "You, actually intend to act alone?"

"Yeah. But I am not acting alone... I have a companion." The scholar pointed to the mini Susumi on his finger.

"You really have a problem!" said the creature: "I noticed that you have never been afraid before, and it looks very calm. You must know something!"

"Can you see my expression?" The scholar said: "That's really amazing, but I still have a lot of things, so I don't care so much."

After that, the scholar turned and left, and the creature immediately caught up and said: "Wait a minute. You..."

"I found the attack behavior, the attacker was treated as a waste, and began to deal with it." Suddenly, the smooth ground opened a circular hole, and the creature that was ready to seize the scholar suddenly screamed into the hole. In the middle, the hole merged.

It seems that these self-proclaimed 'capturers' are quite strict in their determination of the aggressive behavior, and the remaining creatures are also there, and they have not tried to stop the scholars.

"It’s really dangerous..." The scholar said as he walked away: "But there is nothing wrong with not doing anything special. We need to be careful..."

Lin did not say anything, just looked up.

Look up. It can be seen that many aircraft fly under the stars, and they are hundreds of meters in size, but most are dozens of meters.

The platform where Lin and the scholars are now feels like a ‘female ship’, and those aircraft are the units released by the mother ship.

As the tentacle said before, this group of 'capturers' may be preparing for a war.

At this time, the scholars have reached the first child of the Void Bus.

The cub seems to have also found that the scholar is close. It slightly shakes the body and extends a tentacles from its ice-shell-like surface. This tentacles slowly extend to the scholar... but stop at a distance of about one meter from it. Down.

Then, he reached the left side of the scholar's body. And gently pushed the scholar to the side.

‘咔’

At the moment when the scholar was pushed away, the scholar’s ​​original ground opened a circular hole, and a large amount of white jelly appeared from the inside.

"This is..." The scholar saw that ‘Jelly’ was constantly pouring out, and it could not help but retreat. I saw that the jelly kept appearing from the round hole until it was piled up on the ground with a heap of more than ten meters of jelly.

The Void Bus pierced the tentacles into the jelly heap, and the jelly piles drastically reduced, leaving only a few small pieces on the floor.

This should be the food of the Void Bus... It seems that they are raising these Void buses here?

After eating, the Void Bus will not move. The scholar looked at it for a while, then said to Lin: "This is so wonderful, we should send the situation back here, but I don't know if there will be any problem."

"Of course you can send it." Lin said: "Your current state is equal to being sent."

"...the same is true." The scholar said: "Then they will not notice that we are sending information... No, not necessarily, but they don't care about sending us information."

"That's it, keep moving."

"...I think, you seem to be a little different..." The scholar said, and walked forward.

Although this place is huge, there is no special landscape other than the Void Bus Cub. Scholars are constantly looking around the platform, trying to find a special target to observe, but since they can't find anything, they continue to the nearest. The void bus went.

This pup is only a hundred meters, relatively small, after it is close to it, it does not have any reaction, as if it is asleep, it is motionless.

"This creature... always feels spectacular when you look at it..." The scholar looked at the Void Bus and said, "But what are they doing? Are you responsible for the transmission?"

"Do you want to know about it?"

“What?” The scholar heard the words and turned around and found a creature... suddenly appeared next to him.

This creature is wearing armor and looks like a creature called ‘蝽’, which is clearly a city from floating rock.

However, this creature is somewhat...special.

“Who are you?” The scholar looked at the creature that was more than a meter high and came over and said to him doubtfully: “You are also from that...”

"I am from the kingdom of the people of God." The creature that looks like a cockroach says to the scholars with the 'universal language' of the floating rock. "But that was a long time ago. I am living here now. You should have just passed the test." Well, I have heard that I have captured many new creatures recently."

“Have you been here for a long time?” the scholar asked. “Where were you before? There was no one here.”

"What is the people?" ‘蝽’ said: “Forget it, I’ve been here.” He said, it poked the ground with his feet.

"You can think of this as a big battleship." He continued: "Your position is on the back of the battleship, and here is where these creatures live."

As it said, it looked at the floating bus route: "In addition to these, there are many, we...the catchers are feeding these creatures in large quantities, providing them with food and using them."

"And our main living area is inside the battleship." He said: "The inside is like a city, there is a programmatic life system. I have lived here for a long time, so I know more about the system inside, and I I also like to answer questions to your newly-born creatures, but in fact, as long as you follow their rules, there will be no problems."

"Then you know... what is the capturer?" the scholar asked.

"They should have been introduced to you before." He said: "They capture creatures like us, but I don't know... what their real purpose is."

Ramp said: "But the purpose of the surface seems to be to know the details of our civilized technology, and then extract useful techniques to strengthen themselves."

“Learning?” the scholar questioned: “They seem to be very...developed, why should we learn from us?”

Scholars know that the technical level of floating rock fields is actually similar to that of the virtual people.

"Redeveloped creatures must learn from the most primitive creatures." He said: "They...have said this to me, of course, I think they have other reasons to use us, but we don't know. Yes, discuss them, and say that they are okay, not to violate the rules, but to remember that there must be no behavior that contains 'hostile', including directly or indirectly hurting any target. ”

The scholar said: "Okay... I know."

He said: "Actually, the captureers are still very 'loose' to us. They let us live here. There is no more demand than we have to do some work."

“Work?” The scholar asked: “What kind of work is that?”

“Operating machinery or something.” He said: “Not every creature’s work is the same. Then you can know what you are going to do... In short, I also have a temporary job, which is to take you to understand. this place."

‘咔...’ After the end, the front ground of the cymbal was opened again, and a hexagonal disc was slowly raised from the inside.

The diameter of the disc was as much as six meters. The raft climbed from the side to the disc and said to the scholar: "Come up, this is the transportation... here."

"Ah...good." The scholar said that he also climbed onto the disc, and the disc suddenly moved on the ground at a very fast speed... (to be continued.)
