"They haven't mentioned the invitation for a long time now, it's been too long …"
The Xenomorph's voice … was not strange. It sounded like the voice of a female Ershi Min, but Lin had a feeling that it was the voice set by the recording device.
But what it was saying now was quite strange, as if it was talking to itself. Lin asked it again, "What do you mean by 'invite'?"
"Language communication, the vocabulary is not precise …" The Xenomorph seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before saying, "The Global Covenant."
"…" The pompom did not say anything. A few seconds later, the Xenomorph continued, "The first version of the official language of the Global Covenant, do you understand this language?"
"Yes." The language it was speaking was the language used by the Ershi Min here. This' Global Covenant Language 'was a language created by the Ershi Ershi Min. This new language was not used here … Instead, it was used in the Ershi language that Lin knew.
But later, the Ershi Min requested that this language be used as well, so most of the robots here had learned this language. Even so, they would still use the old Ershi language in private. It was a … habit.
"Adaptive creatures understand. If that's the case, you should understand the meaning of invitation." The Xenomorph said, "Did you accept their invitation?"
"…" The way it spoke seemed to have become strange again. Lin remembered from the information she had read earlier that this voice did not speak like this when it spoke to the robots. Instead, it spoke like … a powerful 'boss'. It would usually speak in a very … arrogant tone when it spoke to the robots, and there was a sense of … disdain in its words.
This was one of the reasons why the robots hated it, but it was not as strange as the way it was speaking now.
"What is the meaning of invitation? Who is inviting? What do you mean by adaptable creatures? "Lin continued to ask it more questions, and made it clearer.
"You want to understand the inviter and the content of the invitation? You don't know the inviter? " The Xenomorph seemed to be speaking more normally. "The inviter is, in this language, called the Transpirator."
"… An invitation from the Transcendent?" Lin asked.
"The invitation from the Evaporators. I knew about this invitation before you did, so you must have known about it. The invitation was … to join the construction of the 'project'. Yes, that's how they invited you. Did you accept the invitation?" The Otherworldly Voice asked, "The invitation period is about to end. After it ends, you won't be able to get another invitation."
It seemed to be talking about how the Transpirators had invited Lin to become … the Transpirator and inherit their great project.
"How do you know about this?" Lin asked. "What's your relationship with the Transpiration?"
"Relationship … It seems like you refused the invitation. Since you didn't accept the invitation, you don't know where I am and don't know me … Since that's the case, I might need more explanation." The Otherworldly Voice said, "You asked about adaptable creatures earlier. The one who called you an adaptable creature was not me but them, the Transpirators. Their project … must be completed by adaptable creatures. All this time, they have been searching for such creatures. They …"
"This place is still fine!"
Suddenly, another voice rang out. Lin saw the door open with a bang. Several … Ershi Min machines ran in.
They were the troops sent out by the battleships outside. They had blown up most of the solidified creatures that were flying around … and had the battleships fly to the vine ruins to send out troops to explore.
The first thing they did was to explore some key areas, such as … this place.
"You did all this, didn't you?"
The moment they entered, one of the machines walked up to Lin and pointed at the Otherworldly Voice on the screen. "You really destroyed this place!"
"You are the symbol of sorrow." The Otherworldly Voice's tone instantly turned … arrogant. "You have failed so many times, why do you still dare to yell in front of me? Do you still want to feel my wrath? "
"We know you're not that powerful!" This robot … Lin noticed that it should be … one of the adjutants of the captain who was in charge of accepting missions.
Of course, the captain would not personally come down to lead the troops to explore, but these adjutants knew about the captain, and they also … hated the Otherworldly Voice.
Lin wanted to ask them to 'wait for a while' and let Lin finish her questioning, but she did not do that. She decided to observe the situation here first.
"You've been using sneaky methods like power outages. You don't have the ability to fight us head-on!" The adjutant said angrily. "But don't think that you're the only one who has a way to deal with us. We've been thinking of ways to deal with you without you knowing. Soon, you won't be able to underestimate us!"
"Then let's see how far you sorrowful people can go. After that, I'll wipe you all out."
After that, the Otherworldly Voice reverted to the emotionless tone it used to communicate with Lin. "They are the transpirators. They have always been in charge of creating a creature's body."
"Midgard," the Otherworldly Voice said. "Do you know this creature? Do you need an explanation? "
"… Yes," the pompom said.
"The complexity of communication is reduced," the Otherworldly Voice said. The Otherworldly Voice said, "The Evaporators are the builders of Midgard. They have never changed, even after they came here."
"The great project was to create a … huge Midgard, bigger than any individual they had ever created in the history of their species. They …"
Bang!
A sound interrupted the Otherworldly Voice. This was also the work of the … Ershi Min.
They fired at the pompom, and the pompom fell to the ground.
"This thing must be its partner! Capture it, contact the fleet of the Tendrils Fortress, and surround that volcanic battleship! "The captain's adjutant said as he walked towards the pompom." We want to — "
"Don't you think it's strange?" The pompom interrupted.
"What?" The adjutant looked at the pompom in shock. "It's still alive?"
It did not seem to react for a while. In fact, Lin thought that it should have reacted because there was no gravity here. Therefore, the pompom would not have fallen to the ground after being shot.
Lin purposely landed on the ground, and it really thought that … it had killed the pompom and walked over.
Perhaps it was used to the environment with gravity. In fact, the research facility had gravity to begin with … but the gravitational system was probably broken.
