"Uh...not a human?"
Commander Allen felt that he couldn't keep up with Marvin's brain circuit, and even the assistant who had been working for Marvin for a long time looked blank.
Marvin pointed seriously at the scattered transparent container fragments on the ground and the blood-stained dissection table.
"These things were originally organs dissected from monsters..."
"There is also a monster on the dissection table that has been dissected halfway..."
"But now these are gone, don't you think it's strange?"
"And here."
With that, Marvin went to his desk and patted the table.
"There was originally a mountain of data here, which were all the previous experimental data left by me after the experiment, which was enough to bury a person, and all of them were gone."
"There is no burning ashes or confetti in the room, and there is not even a little minced meat, which is very 'abnormal'."
"You also heard the assistant's words just now. The intruder didn't hold anything in his hand. Now you still think that guy is an ordinary beggar?"
Hearing Marvin's analysis, Commander Allen realized the details they had overlooked before.
Augustus and other high-level officials looked at each other and could see the uneasibility in each other's hearts.
At this time, Si, who was making a scene in the laboratory, was still unaware of the fact that he was concerned by the senior officials of the aliens, and wandered aimlessly in the shelter.
Suddenly, it stopped and showed a sudden look. Only then did it remember its purpose of sneaking into this dangerous area.
"How can I forget this..."
"Uh...forget it?"
"The body performance of aliens is very low, and they even use neurons that are prone to information loss. No wonder the will did not add this design at the beginning, but adopted the method of genetic memory."
He criticized the backwardness of the alien's physical performance and began to look for aliens operating in the shelter with purpose.
That was a soldier, holding a live weapon in his hand that Si had seen not long ago. At this time, the other party was walking with his back to Si and did not realize the existence of Si.
"Hello..."
The soldier was obviously shocked by the sound behind him.
This is a normal reaction. Aliens can hear subsoracoustic waves, and soldiers have been specially trained and strengthened in this regard, and their reactions to sound waves will be more sensitive. However, just now he didn't even realize that the other party was close to him. This skill is undoubtedly very horrible.
You can hide your footsteps in the background waves of the surrounding environment, which is quite difficult for even the 'king of soldiers' in the imperial army to do.
However, good military literacy allows him not to be disturbed by panicked emotions. His thoughts flow between lightning, and his body is completely handed over to the long-trained combat instinct. He turns around with a gun in one go, and he can enter the combat state at any time.
"...I...did't...m malicious..."
Seeing such a fierce reaction from the other party, Si used the unskilled alien language to express himself without any goodwill.
A beggar?
The soldier saw the comer clearly, but did not mean to put down the weapon. He still pointed the gun in his hand with a vigilant face.
In his opinion, the beggar in front of him looks too 'abnormal'. He can hide his infade to the background infade like the 'King of Soldier'. The mechanical tone in his words is not high or low, and his dull facial expression looks very stiff even if he keeps smiling - not like a person. It's more like a machine.
"Civilian, why are you in such a place?"
The soldier locked his prey like a lion. As long as the beggar in front of him has a slight movement, he will immediately pull the trigger and make the other party's forehead blossom.
The abnormality of the other party really made him feel uncomfortable.As a member of the collector, he usually communicates through the life field channel. Not to mention lying, he has never even been exposed to the concept of lies. Therefore, he truthfully explained to the soldier the purpose of sneaking into the colony.
"...I...I'm... looking for a book..."
"Book?"
The soldiers looked up and down at the alien body, the dirty beggar's appearance, and the clothes were all rags, and they were full of all kinds of patched patches.
If it is to ask for food, he can understand that after all, as a useless beggar, the residue at the bottom of society, the waste that has been completely eliminated, the place to live will only be those who live in the sewers. It is undoubtedly very difficult for them to live in a shelter.
But what's the answer?
A book?
Can beggars also read?
Can they understand?
The soldier's curiosity was seduced.
Si nodded hard at the soldier and answered.
"...is..."
"What book are you looking for?"
A book that can make beggars who can hardly read a few people bother to find. Soldiers are curious about what kind of book it is.
Of course, he was curious, but the head of the gun was not put down, and he was still very alert to the beggar.
It understands when thinking about it and expressing its meaning, but the difficulty lies in how to tell the other person in the language of the alien. It tries to describe it to explain where it wants to go.
"...a lot of...books that can... read..."
"...that... kind of...storage...book...room..."
As he spoke, Si was still smaring with his hands.
Although it is vague, the soldiers still fully understand what they want to express.
"The library?"
When the soldier said this term uncertainly, his eyes lit up. That was exactly where it was struggling to find. has a lot of book rooms.
"Why do you want to go there?"
Si tilted his head and thought for a while, and then gave the answer in his heart.
"...read...book...study..."
"..."
The soldier was shocked by the thought of this answer on the spot, as if he had heard the biggest cold joke in history, and even his expression was frozen - the kind of beggar who is like unrecyclable garbage in society and can only rely on government relief to live. The beggar who lives a muddle-headed life every day actually wants to study?!
However, later, the soldiers were clear that for a beggar who seemed to have mental problems, he could not infer anything according to common sense. Because of the lack of manpower, there was no one in the library.
Let the mentally ill beggar go to that place, and he will save himself the pains to put the beggar in the confinement room.
"The library is not in this area. You're in the wrong way."
"This is a martial law area. Civilians are not allowed to enter. The library is in the civilian area. Turn around and go straight through the passage. After the sixteenth corner, turn left and turn right at the first cross intersection. There is a public map on that road. As long as you get there, you will know how to go as you go."
"...thank you...thank you..."
After getting the explanation, he thanked the soldiers and then said goodbye to the other party.
The figure of thinking disappeared around the corner. Naturally, the soldier's mood is needless to say. Dealing with the problem of a crazy beggar also makes the other party grateful, which undoubtedly adds a lot of talk to his communication after tea and dinner.
However, this good mood was soon destroyed by the wanted information transmitted in the communication form.
That's the wanted information for 'Think'.
"Huh?!"
