Chapter 2917: The Land of Pain?
"I don't know! That's what it said! That's what it told me... That's how the place was destroyed!"
This is a... building.
Both the floor and the walls were gleaming silver, but the place was empty, without any furniture.
Just a ball of fluff, and a creature.
The creature itself...is also silver.
It has six limbs and a crescent-shaped body, like a metal beetle.
It is more than one meter in size, and this creature had some communication with Lin not long ago.
However, this communication was not voluntary, but it communicated with Lin out of fear.
These creatures can be said to be a group of creatures that worship the pouring ball. They themselves are a kind of creatures composed of a solid metal shell... plus a liquid body.
These creatures were so frightened by the intense terror released by the Pain Bus not long ago that they hid in the building and dared not come out.
Even though the pouring balls are now away from the Pain Bus, they still dare not come out.
So Lin did some investigation on them...and then Lin found that they seemed to know a lot of things.
Like there's something about the pouring ball... they know a lot about it.
Through this creature, Lin learned the history of the dangerous containers that the dump ball had dropped on the bus.
However, after Lin opened the container, she found that it contained a lot of pain.
To be precise, those small spots of light stored in the container are something that can release a large amount of pain signals.
Because she found it very strange, Lin asked the creature about it.
"No, I don't! That's all I know!"
And this creature keeps saying this.
In fact, it told Lin all this because Lin threatened it.
They hide here because once they go out, they will feel the information released by the Pain Bus and suffer extreme pain.
Lin can let the ball of fluff simulate this kind of painful information, and can also directly make it feel extreme pain.
Out of fear of pain, it was willing to reveal many things to Lin.
Their species has lived on the Downpour Sphere for a long time... and they have also gained a deep understanding of it.
They have also studied every world that the Outpouring Sphere has touched, and a lot of things about the Outpouring Sphere can be learned from them...but what Lin is most concerned about now is the things about those containers.
It seemed that no matter how this creature threatened it, it just said it didn't know.
In this case, we need to directly test its thinking structure.
At the same time, Lin also discovered some...strange things on the other side.
………………………………
This place seems to be...there?
Lin's ball of fluff with a diameter of about one hundred meters is now floating in the void.
In front of this ball of fluff is an...object.
The length and width of this thing are about 300 kilometers, and its thickness is 100 kilometers.
It looks like a platform floating in the void.
Generally speaking, it’s nothing strange to see this kind of thing in the void, but Lin’s current location is... a land of pain.
Ersh had felt a strong "pain reaction" here before, and of course Lin also detected it.
So Lin came here to investigate.
The ball of fluff slowly floated closer to the object.
As she approached, Lin could see that this 'platform' looked like... the place Lin had heard about before.
After landing on the surface, Lin could see that the ground was covered with...crystals.
These crystalline, transparent objects are scattered on the ground like sharp needles.
And among these crystal needles, there are many creatures wandering around.
These creatures were shaped like jellyfish. They crawled slowly on the ground, completely ignoring Lin's arrival.
So Lin directly sprinkled a large number of miniature soldiers onto the ground and began to investigate everything in this place.
First there were these… jellyfish-like creatures, and then there were all these structures here.
...After testing for a while, Lin discovered something very interesting.
This place... can be said to be a 'place where painful energy occurs'.
Each crystal needle-like object here is actually made of a substance that can store dream energy.
And each of them is filled with energy, and this energy is... the energy of pain.
Pain energy is also a type of dream energy, and Lin found that it seemed to be inexhaustible here.
Because Lin tried to extract the painful energy from these needles, but found that they would automatically be filled with energy.
It seems to be like this no matter how you draw.
And the jellyfish-like creatures around are also doing the same thing.
They themselves are also creatures made of a substance that can store dream energy.
Curiously, Lin noticed that they lived on the energy of pain.
These jellyfish-like creatures are home to a host of microorganisms.
Lin discovered that these microorganisms established a...society inside the jellyfish.
They communicate, trade, and even have currency structures, laws, and everything else... systems that are more common among individual creatures.
But Lin found that they didn't notice at all that they were living inside the body of a jellyfish. They moved around in some tiny tubes and sac-like organs inside the jellyfish and thought that the whole world was that big.
Jellyfish, on the other hand, move outside and often inhale debris from the surface, but the jellyfish themselves do not eat this debris. This debris is food for this group of microorganisms.
When there are enough microorganisms in the jellyfish's body, the jellyfish will absorb painful energy from the surrounding crystals.
The painful energy will quickly cause all microorganisms to die painfully.
After their tragic death, the jellyfish absorb all the dead microorganisms as nutrients.
The jellyfish itself also felt pain during the process, but Lin found that it could endure it.
These microorganisms will not be completely wiped out because their young have not yet developed brain structures and do not have any emotions of pain.
After all the adult microorganisms have died, the young they leave behind will continue to grow slowly and then form a "society" again.
Then the jellyfish will wait for them to grow up and then eat them...
This wonderful cycle continues inside the jellyfish, and Lin finds it very interesting.
Because there are creatures that harness the energy of pain.
So what exactly is this place...
After studying it for a while, Lin thought that it should be the place mentioned by the creatures living on the pouring ball.
This might have once been the world where a lot of 'explosive materials' were pouring out.
As to why it turned out like this, further investigation is needed.
Lin thought it would be easy to investigate.
