Chapter 917: The Captor

"Finding the right creatures, capturing them, learning about them, documenting them, we are...captors."

"You can move around here, observe at will, ask questions at will, but you can't have aggressive behavior."

The tentacle's voice disappeared after saying these two sentences.

The mini-Susumi controlled by Lin, the scholar, and five other creatures looked at the vast white platform in front of them...

It seems that there is a feeling of not knowing what to do.

"What... what should we do?"

A creature that speaks out the doubts that all creatures have.

Although the stars can be seen here, they are not in the void. If you look carefully, there is a transparent wall between the starry sky and the platform.

There's also some... gas here as well, so communication is possible.

"There should be a way to go back..." a creature said: "Since we can move freely, there will always be a way, we should go find... By the way, how did they bring us here? We just need to use the same way out."

"You're right." Another creature said, "Although the possibility is very small, we have to look for it."

"Yes!" "We don't give up, we must act!" "That's right!"

These five creatures seem to be planning to use this method to act, but the scholar looked into the distance and said, "Where should we go to explore... let's go and see that first."

The scholar pointed to a behemoth floating on the platform in the distance.

This thing has a diameter of more than three hundred meters. Although it is quite huge, it is still a cub... a cub of the Void Bus.

In addition to this, there are a few more nearby, and they are more than one kilometer apart. These cubs are floating slowly at a height of more than ten meters above the ground, as if they are living here.

On this empty platform, they are indeed the most conspicuous landscape.

"you!"

Just when the scholar was about to move, a creature next to him suddenly came over and said, "You, are you planning to act alone?"

"Yes. But I'm not alone... I have a companion." The scholar pointed to the mini Susumi on his finger.

"You really have a problem!" The creature said: "I noticed that you were not afraid before, and you seemed 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 to do, so let's ignore them for now."

After finishing speaking, the scholar turned around to leave, but the creature immediately grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute. You..."

"Attack behavior is found, the attacker is regarded as a waste product, and the processing begins." Suddenly, a circular hole opened on the smooth ground, and the creature that was about to catch the scholar suddenly fell into the hole with a scream , and then the openings merged.

It seems that these self-proclaimed 'captors' here are quite strict in judging the attack behavior, and the remaining creatures were also stunned there, and they didn't try to stop the scholar again.

"It's really dangerous..." The scholar said as he walked away: "But if you don't do anything out of line, there should be no problem. We need to be more careful..."

Lin didn't say anything, just looked up.

If you look up. You can see many aircraft flying under the starry sky. The largest of them is hundreds of meters, but most of them are tens of meters.

The platform where Lin and the scholar are now feels like a 'mothership', and those aircraft are the troops released by the mothership.

As Tentacle said before, this group of 'captors' may be preparing for a war.

At this time, the scholar had already walked under the cub of the first void bus.

The cub also seemed to notice that the scholar was approaching. It shook its body a little, and a tentacles protruded from its icy shell-like surface. The tentacles slowly stretched towards the scholar... but stopped at a distance of about one meter. down.

Then, stretch to the left side of the scholar's body. And gently pushed the scholar aside.

'Crack——'

The moment the scholar was pushed away, a circular hole opened up on the ground where the scholar was standing, and a large amount of... something like white jelly gushed out of it.

"This is..." The scholar couldn't help but retreat when he saw the 'jelly' pouring out continuously. I saw that the jelly kept appearing from the round hole, and it didn't stop until a pile of jelly more than ten meters high was piled up on the ground.

The Void Bus pierced the tentacles into the jelly pile, and the jelly pile decreased rapidly, leaving only some small pieces on the floor.

This is supposed to be food for the void buses...it seems like they feed these void buses here?

After eating, the void bus stopped moving. The scholar looked at it for a while, and then said to Lin: "This place is amazing, we should send back the situation here, but I don't know if there will be any problems."

"Of course you can send it." Lin said: "Your current state is equivalent to being sent all the time."

"...That's true." The scholar said: "Then they won't notice us sending messages... No, not necessarily, it's just that they don't care about us sending messages."

"That's it, keep moving."

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

Although this place is empty and huge, there is no special landscape except for the void bus cubs. Scholars walked on the platform and kept looking around, trying to find something special to observe, but because they couldn't find anything, they continued to the nearest The void bus went.

This cub is only more than a hundred meters away, and it looks relatively small. After approaching it, it didn't respond in any way, as if it had fallen asleep and remained motionless.

"This creature... always feels spectacular when you look closely..." The scholar looked at the void bus and said, "But what are they raised for? Are they responsible for teleportation?"

"Do you want to know about it?"

"What?" The scholar turned his head when he heard the words, and found a...creature suddenly appeared next to him.

This creature was wearing armor and looked like a creature called a 'stinkbug', apparently it also came from the city of Floating Rock.

However, this creature is a little... special.

"Who are you?" The scholar watched the one-meter-tall creature approaching, and said to it suspiciously, "You also came from that..."

"I come from the kingdom of gods and people." The stinkbug-like creature said to the scholar in the 'common language' of floating rocks: "But that was a long time ago, I live here now, you should have just passed the test Well, recently I heard that many new creatures have been captured."

"Have you lived here for a long time?" the scholar asked, "Where were you before? There were no people here."

"What is a min?" said the 'stinkbug', "Forget it, I've been down here all the time." Saying so, it poked the ground with its feet.

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

Saying that, it looked at the floating void bus and said: "Besides these, there are many more. We... the captors raise these creatures in large numbers, provide them with food, and use their abilities."

"And our main living area is inside the battleship." Stinkbug said, "It's like a city inside, with a programmed life system. I've lived here for a long time, so I have a good understanding of the systems inside, and I I also like to answer questions to you new creatures, but in fact, as long as you follow their rules, you will not have any problems."

"And do you know... what a captor is?" asked the scholar.

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

Budao: "But the superficial purpose seems to be to know the technical details of our civilization, and then extract useful technologies from them to strengthen and transform ourselves."

"Learning?" The scholar asked: "They seem to be very...developed, why should they learn from us?"

Scholars know that the technical level of the Floating Rock is actually about the same as that of the Void People.

"No matter how developed creatures are, they must learn from the most primitive creatures." Stinkbug said, "They... have told me so, of course, I think they have other reasons to use us, but we don't know it , By the way, discussing them, and speaking ill of them is all right, it is not considered a violation of the regulations, but you must remember that there must be no 'hostile' behavior, including direct or indirect harm to any target. "

The scholar said, "Okay... I see."

Stinkbug said: "In fact, the captors are still very 'loose' to us. They let us live here, and they don't have any more requirements except that we have to do some work."

"A job?" asked the scholar. "What kind of job is that?"

"Operating machinery or something." Stinkbug said, "Not every creature has the same job, and then you will know exactly what you are going to do... In short, I also have a temporary job now, just to show you this place."

"Ka..." After finishing speaking, the ground in front of the stinkbug opened again, and a hexagonal disc slowly rose from it.

The diameter of the disk was as much as six meters. The stinkbug climbed onto the disk from the side, and said to the scholar, "Come on, this is the... means of transportation here."

"Ah... yes." The scholar said and climbed onto the disk, and the disk immediately moved on the ground at an extremely fast speed... (To be continued.)
