"You can't stop us … You can't stop us!"
With a strong light and seemingly angry 'words', the Pioneers launched a fierce attack on Lin.
These Pioneers were about a hundred meters in size, but they were still much smaller than the giant ones.
But their attacks were quite strong.
Rays of light shone down and hit the investigation team's aircraft.
The aircraft's seemingly new but actually very old outer shell began to quickly disintegrate, followed by the various things inside, of course, including … Lin's pompoms.
Everything turned to dust under the strong light, and soon, there was nothing left.
But Lin still had some remnants, because not all of Lin's units were in the aircraft, there were still many on the surface of the Red Tumbler.
These miniature units watched the Pioneers burn the aircraft, and then most of the Pioneers left, leaving only one behind.
This Pioneer looked a bit like the ball used by Ershi Min for entertainment – a bowling ball. It was a ball with a diameter of 50 meters and had three small holes on the surface, looking very interesting.
This Pioneer slowly landed on the red surface of the Red Tumbler, and then its body began to flicker.
This seemed … very interesting.
Its flickering mainly consisted of scattered words, the general meaning was "this is impossible", "this is not right", "why", and so on.
It was as if it was talking to itself.
Although the 'glowing language' of the Pioneers was specifically used to deal with the Empire's creatures, but in reality, after they chose this language, they could only use this language for a long time.
So even if they were talking to themselves, they could only use the glowing language.
A lot of restrictions were the most interesting thing about them, but they could occasionally ignore these restrictions and do something.
But if they ignored the restrictions and forced themselves to do something, they would have to pay a high price.
So Lin wanted to ask it … What price would they have to pay?
With that in mind, Lin had one of the Pioneers come out from the red surface, and shot a small ray of light at the bowling ball-shaped Pioneer, asking it a question.
All of a sudden, the Harbinger's mutterings came to a halt.
It didn't seem to expect that Lin would have a unit hidden here. It wanted to immediately attack, but it held back.
Although it had no expression, Lin could see that the moment it appeared, it was about to shoot out a ray of light to burn Lin to ashes.
But this behavior soon … stopped.
This was something that Lin had noticed earlier. If they forcefully removed the restriction under certain circumstances, they might not be able to do so for a period of time.
It was very obvious with the last member.
They had imprisoned the entire investigation team for a period of time. When they had just been released from captivity, the last surviving member, the pioneer, had no way to deal with them. He could only be forced to tell them the truth.
It was a similar situation now. If burning the aircraft was an act of removing the restriction, then they couldn't kill Lin's troops after doing that.
So, if Lin asked it a question, she would be able to find out … what she wanted to know.
Lin wanted to make this troop class appear … very strong. She strongly wanted to know more about the 'limitations' of the Pioneers.
The Pioneers themselves had an interesting ability, and it was through this ability that they learned the wishes of their followers.
This ability was known as the 'Thought Ray'.
The Pioneer's body was constantly emitting a special light. This light would 'seep' into a creature's thinking system.
It was effective against cellular creatures and many other creatures of the Void Empire.
Creatures whose minds were seeped into would not change on the surface, but whenever they saw something related to the Pioneers, part of their … thoughts would be transmitted to the Pioneers.
In other words, if the creature saw a statue, a picture, or something that resembled the Pioneers, including the Pioneers themselves, their thoughts would 'connect' with the Pioneers.
This would only work within the White Passage or in Imperial territory near the passage.
In short, whenever a creature saw something related to the Pioneers and had some thoughts, the Pioneers would know about it.
The Pioneers themselves couldn't turn off the 'Thought Ray', so they had to learn the creature's thoughts and realize it for them.
At the same time, the Thought Ray was … contagious.
In other words, not every creature had to see the Pioneers before they could connect with them. As long as a creature sincerely or once sincerely believed in the Pioneers, their nervous system would emit a faint … light that would shine upon the creatures around them and infect them.
Over time, the Pioneers would learn about the 'wishes' of the entire Empire.
Of course, now that it had learned about Lin's powerful wish, it had to fulfill Lin's wish.
Through various intelligence reports and understanding of the Pioneers, Lin now knew how to completely control the Pioneers through powerful thoughts, forcing them to answer all of Lin's questions.
Most creatures wouldn't be able to do that, because no matter how powerful their thoughts were, their minds would be mixed with many other … thoughts.
For example, if there was an itch on their body that they wanted to scratch, or if they felt a little hungry or thirsty, the Pioneers would be able to fulfill those thoughts regardless of how small they were. They wouldn't have to fulfill the big one, or fulfill most of the small ones and a few of the big ones.
They often did that …
But Lin's army could … completely focus on a single thought without any distracting thoughts.
The reason why Lin didn't ask too many questions before was because her army's thinking system was still a little … distracting. But now, things were different.
As a result … it couldn't avoid the big one by fulfilling small wishes.
Thus, when Lin asked, it told her … what their 'limit' was.
It was certainly given to them by a certain powerful … being.
But it wasn't a limit, nor was it a curse. It was something they fought for themselves … something they wanted.
Of course, it wasn't that they liked to help other creatures, but that by helping them, they would obtain some very powerful … abilities.
It could also be called a 'trial'.
In fact, they didn't know what kind of powerful being gave them this' trial '.
But they knew that this was a rule that had existed in the White Passage for a long time.
