"I can feel it … You're here … What kind of creature are you … Why are you here …"
Following its' words', the entire ground began to tremble.
This creature … had awakened.
After consuming a large amount of Healing Stones, the Stellar Bus's nerves had almost completely recovered. Lin was already at a stage where she could slowly understand this recovery system. As for how the Healing Stones could help it recover, Lin had discovered a few unique secrets.
Just as Lin was about to conduct further research … it woke up.
When it first woke up, it was filled with doubts. Because, the first thing it saw … was Lin's pompon.
"What are you … Answer … me …"
This was a cave deep underground. A faint fluorescent light illuminated this area. It wasn't dark here, and there was a special organ — an eye.
Star Bus had many eyes, all over its body for observation. However, after studying its structure, Lin believed that this would be the first eye it opened when it woke up.
This was a special eye. When it opened, the surrounding walls would emit fluorescent light to illuminate it.
Therefore, Lin had placed a pom-poms here so that the Stellar Bus could see her 'appearance' at first glance. And just as Lin thought, the bus was very curious about the pom-poms. The way it spoke was very similar to its creator, using brainwaves to transmit information.
Although it was full of questions, Lin believed that the pompon didn't need to answer. It only needed to wait here.
Star Bus … also had that ability.
"I saw it … You brought the healing stones here. You … allowed me to recover …"
Even when it was in a deep sleep. Its organs would still record everything that happened around it. Then, when it woke up, it would know.
This was very similar to Lin when she was in a deep sleep. When Lin woke up, she was able to see what the troopers had gone through outside. Lin noticed that the Stellar Bus's organs also had a similar recording function, but not all of them did. Only a few of them had such a function, while most of the organs, such as the immune systems of the monsters that released them, didn't.
However. The worm-like organ that ate the healing stones had a recording function.
Therefore, the Star Bus was slowly coming to a realization. It had seen what Lin had done from the records of those moving organs. It knew that Lin had dragged the healing stones deep underground to feed it …
"Why … Why did you give me the healing stone … Why can you heal me … What happened … It should be those creatures who did this … Why are you here? What are you? "
Star Bus's emotions indicated that it was still in a relatively weak state, but it was slowly recovering, and its constant questioning made Lin feel that she should communicate with it.
"Because I want to understand you."
The pompom responded to the Star Bus with its first message.
"Understood … I'm unable to determine your thoughts." Star Bus replied: [But you healed me. Healer, what is your goal?]
"I've already explained it before," the pompous ball replied. "I want to know what you think. Your structure, and everything about you. That's why I woke you up. "
"Is that so … Your curiosity … seems to have no end, I can feel it." While the Star Bus was speaking, Lin felt that its' eyes' were emitting a strange message, and this message made the pompous ball feel stimulated.
What is this? Is this the Star Bus's method of detection?
"Can you tell me?" Star Bus asked. "How long … have you been here? Have you done anything else? During this period of time … what exactly had happened? I can feel my … creatures collapsing, they're collapsing! "
Star Bus suddenly became very agitated, but it quickly calmed down.
"I've been asleep for a long time … But I can see that my creatures … haven't recovered yet. Instead, they're close to destruction. Did someone do something to them?"
Star Bus was probably talking about the forest of spikes above.
"It's your immune system." When the pompous ball replied 'immune system', it directly displayed the images of the monsters it saw in the forest of spikes at night, just in case Star Bus didn't understand.
"Your immune system killed most of the 'Atlan creatures', and at the same time, it hindered the growth of the native creatures."
Atlan creatures were the 'names' for Atlan and the creatures that Atlan brought with it, such as Da Wu.
Although Star Bus' immune system only killed Da Wu, Da Wu, and other Atlan creatures, their bodies were too large, and when they moved, they would also harm the native creatures.
Therefore, under their constant influence, the creatures here couldn't develop much.
Lin then told the Stellar Bus everything that she saw when she arrived here. Now, the Spiky Forest had fallen into a continuous cycle.
"They … didn't survive?" After receiving the information, Star Bus asked Lin, "They … are Atlan."
"A few survived." After thinking about it, Lin told Star Bus some information about the shelter.
"Shelter …"
After learning about the situation of Atlan, Star Bus entered a state of hesitation.
"Those things, at first, were thought to be very useful, but in the end, they failed … and they left behind many things, and those things are causing me harm."
"Right … it's because of that incident, that's why I want to get rid of them …" Star Bus fell into a state of contemplation. After a while, it said, "I want to … get rid of them, but the effect isn't good enough. Those things have been trying to hide, and that's why the cycle continues. That has something to do with the wounds I've suffered, that's why … my method has failed … "
"You tried to get rid of them?" The pompous ball asked. "You tried to get rid of the Atlan creatures?"
In Lin's impression, Star Bus should be very 'tolerant' of the Atlan creatures, allowing them to blend into its native creatures.
"Is that strange?" Star Bus replied. "Getting rid of them is the right thing to do. You should have seen my … history and understood my current state, so you should know that those things have been hiding in there."
"Those things … you mean …"
"You know those things." Star Bus said. "They invaded my world, destroyed my creatures, and caused me harm. Some of them are still hiding here."
The pompous ball asked, "You mean … brain spirits?"
As it said that, the pompous ball showed the appearance of a brain spirit on its surface … a ball of light.
"You know them, you know them …" Star Bus used a special message to refer to the 'brain spirits'. It said to the pompous ball, "Did you learn about them from my records? No, you've known them for a long time. "
Lin realized that Star Bus seemed to be very sensitive. It seemed to be able to read some of the pompous ball's emotions, even though the pompous ball had no brain.
Perhaps it had some kind of amazing detection ability.
"What … is your connection with them?" Star Bus asked. "You healed me, is that also related to them?"
The pompous ball didn't answer directly. Instead, it asked, "Can you sense my connection with them?"
"I don't know …" Star Bus replied. "But I can confirm that you're not with them. They are a group of creatures that only know how to destroy. No creature likes them, unless … they're deceived.
Perhaps you've seen them leave this place in the records, but they haven't completely disappeared. They're hiding among my creatures, so I have to get rid of them.
Even now, I can still sense that they haven't been completely eradicated, so I have to continue … the operation. "
"So that's how it is …"
At this point, Lin felt like she understood why Star Bus attacked the pompous balls.
"The reason you told the immune system to get rid of them is because they're being parasitized by the brain spirits?"
"You know very well …" Star Bus replied. "That's why I have to get rid of them. But even after so long … they're still wandering around …"
The pompous ball asked doubtfully, "They … won't contact their companions to come here?"
"Here, they can't contact their companions. That's why I came here." As Star Bus spoke, it seemed to become more and more 'sorrowful'.
"But … in this place, my everything has been destroyed. Everything."
The pompous ball said, "Perhaps … that's what they're thinking."
Now, everything was clear. The reason Star Bus got rid of the pompous balls was because the mole was being parasitized by the brain spirits? But how did the pompous balls get parasitized by the brain spirits? It might have been sent by Atlan.
Even though it wasn't seen in the records, if the brain spirits did invade, some of them would stay on Atlan's body. Perhaps some of them sneaked into the shelter and eventually came into contact with the pompous balls.
Therefore, Star Bus wanted to get rid of the pompous balls. But it didn't seem to expect that it didn't get rid of all the pompous balls. Instead, it caused this process to continue, and the environment here couldn't recover.
"Atlan … doesn't it have a way to find the brain spirits?" the pompous ball asked.
"I taught them how to find those things …" Star Bus said. "But those things also have better ways to hide, and they will continue to improve. They will never stop."
The pompous ball said, "But now, you know if they're being parasitized."
"I know … Atlan doesn't know." Star Bus said. "I … can't tell them every moment, and now, telling them is meaningless. I need to get rid of them … and the process will continue."
