"That's great! I didn't think you'd be able to find me! "
The Ershi ball in front of Lin 'spoke' again, but this time, it was completely different from before.
Previously, it had been using fixed mechanical speech to describe various things, but this time, Lin knew … that it was truly communicating with Lin.
Furthermore, it seemed to be very … joyful.
"You actually managed to discover my existence, so you can really analyze this crystal? Do I look like I've been completely decomposed? That's too scary! "
The Ershi ball that suddenly became joyful didn't wait for Lin to say anything and just kept talking to itself. "Right, I have to tell you my identity. I came from a faraway place, Ershi's … creation. I don't have a special title or name, and my mission is to explain myself to you or other things when they discover me, then self-destruct!"
"It's that simple, are you listening? Or do you think there's nothing to say … you know it's impossible, right? So hurry up and ask! If you ask quickly, you'll be rewarded with something extra … I'm not telling you. "
"… You should know what I want to ask, right?" As Lin said that, she also went out to take a look at the inside of the crystal.
This part that had intelligence and could communicate with Lin was formed by some structures deep inside the crystal.
When these structures were in the past, Lin noticed that they were acting strangely. They didn't operate in a fixed manner like other devices.
It was at that time that Lin became suspicious of them.
After that, Lin tried to 'stimulate' these devices, and when Lin returned to this space, she found that the Ershi ball … had become like this.
"What? How would I know if you don't tell me? "It was now acting very surprised." You want to know when I'll self-destruct? That's my biggest secret, so I can't tell you! But you can find out through other methods, like decomposing me, but before that, I'll definitely self-destruct … really! "
Lin asked, "Why would you self-destruct?"
"Of course, it's to prevent other things from using this crystal, but in my opinion, I think this method is too simple. You think so too, right? " The Ershi ball said, "Also, you must think I'm naggy because my personality mainly comes from certain Ershi residents … the more 'happy' side of their emotions."
"Then, quickly tell me what else you want to know. There's still some time before my explosion … your wish. Let me do that! "The Ershi ball said," Why are you still not … "
"Ershi's location" Lin asked: "Where is he now?"
"Right here." It immediately responded to Lin, and Lin felt that it was sending out a lot of … information.
"You know how to use them, right? Ah, what am I thinking? How would I know if you know? But … this is the only way I know to tell you the location! " The Ershi ball said, "If you don't know how to get there using this method, then I can't help you."
"I know."
This information couldn't be translated into any language, but Lin knew the purpose of this information. It basically required the Star Bus's nervous system to analyze it.
"Then, let me ask you a few more questions" Lin said, "How much do you know about me?"
"That's a very difficult question …" the Ershi ball said, "I actually know a lot about you … I'm sure you won't believe me if I say this, but what should I say? At the end of the day, I still don't know much about you. "
"My understanding of you is limited to the fact that you can find out about me through analyzing the crystal … that's all." the Ershi ball said, "I don't know that much."
Lin asked, "That's all?"
"Of course, that's all." The Ershi ball said, "Right … there's also some additional information. I learned from it … about your personality, such as your interest in exploring things."
"However. I learned everything about you from it. "the Ershi ball said," The one that created me. "
"You mean Ershi?"
"That's right, it's been called by many names. Ershi is the name that those things gave it. Speaking of which, I've also mentioned it before, and now I call it Ershi." The Ershi ball said, "But in truth, it's my creator. I don't know what to call it, but in short, it knows you very well."
"It knows you very well?" Lin asked, "Why?"
The Ershi ball explained, "It's seen a lot of things. It's lived for a very, very long time. That's the simplest way to put it is! That's also … what it said. It knows you very well and knows a lot about you, so it's always wanted to meet you. Although it's currently not here due to some problems, it's still looking forward to your visit … that's probably it. "
"… Why 'probably'?" Lin asked.
"Because I'm not sure either." the Ershi ball said, "Then, what other questions do you have? I can answer them all … before I self-destruct. "
"…"
Lin continued to ask it a lot of questions … most of them were related to Ershi, as well as some things and creatures that Lin had seen in history.
Just like it said, it answered all of Lin's questions, but expressed that it didn't know anything about some of them.
Finally. Lin asked it why Ershi left, the main goal of the 'Rock Skin Project', and so on, but it also expressed that it didn't know the specifics.
Lin found that … it actually didn't know a lot of things, or rather, it couldn't tell her about them.
But during the conversation, it would often mention Ershi, and told her that she could ask Ershi directly if she had any questions. In short, it didn't seem to be of much use other than telling her where Ershi was.
Then, it expressed that it was about to self-destruct.
Although it couldn't tell Lin when it would self-destruct, it was able to describe the process to Lin. Simply put, the crystal's structure would collapse to the point where it couldn't be reformed in any way.
It also added: 'Any way, any way it knows.'
That caused Lin to hesitate.
Lin wanted to try and stop this self-destruction and ask it more questions, but at the same time, she also wanted to observe the entire process.
