Chapter 2554 Inquiry

"You can't stop...you can't stop us!"

With strong light and seemingly angry "words", these pioneers launched a fierce attack on Lin.

These pioneers are about a hundred meters in size, which is actually much smaller than the giant ones.

Their attacks are pretty strong though.

Rays of light shone down and hit the investigation team's aircraft.

The aircraft's shell, which looked brand new but was actually very old, began to disintegrate rapidly, along with everything inside, including, of course, Lin's pompom that was being detected inside.

Everything turned to dust in the intense light, and soon nothing was left.

But there are still some remnants of Lin, because not all of Lin's troops are in... the aircraft, but many are on the surface of the Red Tumbler.

These miniature soldiers watched as the pioneers burned up their aircraft, and then most of the pioneers left, leaving only one.

This pioneer looks a bit like the bowling ball used by the Ershi people for entertainment. It is a ball with a diameter of more than 50 meters and three small holes on the surface. It looks very interesting.

The pioneer slowly landed on the red surface of the little tumbler, and then its body began to flash continuously.

This seems...interesting.

These flashes are mainly some scattered words, which roughly mean "This can't be right, why?" etc.

It's like talking to yourself.

Although the "luminous language" of creatures like the Pioneers is specifically used to deal with Imperial creatures, in reality, after they choose this language, they can only use this language for a long time.

So even when they are talking to themselves, they can only use luminous language.

The most interesting thing about them is the large number of restrictions, but they can occasionally ignore these restrictions and take some actions.

But ignoring the restrictions and taking compulsory action would seem to come at a heavy price.

So Lin wanted to ask it...what price will they have to pay?

Thinking of this, Lin ordered a soldier to drill out from the red surface and emitted a thin ray of light to question the bowling-shaped pioneer.

Suddenly, all the pioneer's soliloquy stopped at this moment.

It didn't seem to expect that Lin would have an army hiding here. It wanted to launch an attack immediately, but it held back.

Although it had no expression, Lin could see the moment it appeared that it was almost emitting light that could burn Lin to ashes.

But this behavior soon... stopped.

This is something Lin had noticed before. If they forcibly lifted the restrictions under certain circumstances, there might not be a way to forcibly lift the restrictions for a period of time afterwards.

It was obvious before with that last team member.

They imprisoned the entire investigation team for a period of time, and when they released the last surviving member, the Pioneer... there was no way to do anything with it and they were forced to tell it the truth.

It is a similar situation now. If they just burned the aircraft as an act of lifting restrictions, then after doing this they cannot kill Lin's soldiers.

So if Lin asks it questions, she will know... what she wants to know.

Lin now makes this type of soldier show a very... strong desire, and strongly wants to know a series of things about the "restrictions" of the pioneers.

The Heralds themselves have an interesting ability, which they rely on to learn the wishes of many believers.

This ability is called 'mind light'.

The pioneers emit a special light all the time, which can penetrate into the thinking system of living things.

This is effective for cellular organisms and various organisms in the Void Empire.

The creature whose mind has been infiltrated will not show any changes on the surface, but whenever it sees something related to the Pioneer, part of its...thoughts will be transmitted to the Pioneer.

That is, when this creature sees statues, photos, or things that look like pioneers, including the pioneers themselves, its mind will be "connected" with the pioneers.

This will only work in Imperial territory within or near the White Channel.

In short, when creatures see Pioneers and Pioneer-related things and have some ideas, Pioneers will know.

The Forerunners themselves had no way of turning off this 'thought light' so they had to know what the creatures were thinking and implement it for them.

At the same time, the thought rays can also be...contagious.

That is to say, not every creature has to see the Pioneer before it can connect with the Pioneer. As long as a creature truly believes or has truly believed in the Pioneer, its neural structure will emit a faint...light, which will shine on the surrounding creatures and infect them.

Over time, the Herald will be able to learn the "wishes" of the entire empire.

Of course, it now also knows the strong desire of Lin, the little soldier, and it has to fulfill Lin's wish.

Through the previous understanding of the Pioneer through various intelligence, Lin already knew how to completely control the Pioneer through strong thoughts, forcing it to answer all of Lin's questions.

Ordinary creatures have no way to do this, because usually no matter how strong an idea they have, their minds will be mixed with many other...ideas.

Like if you feel an itch somewhere on your body and want to scratch it, or if you feel a little hungry or thirsty, no matter how small these ideas are, pioneers can realize them instead of realizing the big one, or realizing most of the small ones, or a small part of the big one.

They often do this...

But Lin's troops can do it...completely focus on one idea, without any distractions mixed in.

The reason why Lin’s questions were not complete before was because the thinking system of Lin’s own army still had some... distractions, but it is different now.

This leads to it… There is no way to avoid big wishes by thinking of fulfilling small wishes.

So, when Lin asked, it told Lin...what their 'limitations' were.

This was indeed given to them by some powerful...being.

But this is not actually a restriction, nor can it be said to be a curse, but rather something they fight for themselves... something they want themselves.

Of course, they don’t like to help other creatures themselves, but by completing these helps, they will gain some very powerful...abilities.

It can also be called a 'trial'.

In fact, they don't know what the powerful existence that gave this "trial" is.

But they knew that this was the long-standing... rule of this white channel.

Whoever can complete the trial will be able to control... the entire white channel.
