Chapter 404 Messenger?
The landing platform was very quiet.
To be precise, the entire Xinaluo star was very quiet, with no insects chirping, no birds or beasts calling, and no Xinaluo people talking!
This is a silent planet.
The rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the forest mixed with the slight noise of the starship running. The two added together did not seem noisy, but instead produced a rather strange sense of silence.
In this strange silence, Chen Fan immediately noticed the Xinaluo people who suddenly stopped.
It was not that he was staring at them out of idleness, but really...
On such a large landing platform, the three-meter-high mechanical armors that came down from the guide ship were too conspicuous.
It was impossible not to pay attention!
These mechanical armors stood silently on the landing platform, with their smooth visors facing Chen Fan and the investigator starship behind them.
The visor was made of a special material, and even with the help of a visual assistance system, Chen Fan could not see the inside of the visor from the outside.
Buzz...buzz...
waves of flickering fluorescence seeped out from some holes on the sides of these mechanical armors.
These fluorescent lights complemented each other, and it was not difficult to see that these Xinaluo people were communicating with each other right in front of Chen Fan.
The frequency of the flashing light gradually increased, and accordingly, these Xinaluo armors that remained stationary also had some slight movements.
Waving, walking...
it looked like these Xinaluo people had a dispute.
The abnormal behavior of the Xinaluo people made Chen Fan a little alert.
"They..." Chen Fan frowned, slightly turned sideways and asked Hongshi who had just walked out of the cockpit: "These Xinaluo people...what's wrong?"
Hongshi's face showed confusion, she slowly shook her head and did not speak.
Chen Fan pondered for a moment, and silently issued an order to the smart terminal on his right hand: "One, prepare to turn on the shield system of the investigator starship."
He took a half step back calmly and returned to the shield range of the investigator starship.
"One, can you decipher the other party's language information?"
Chen Fan asked silently in his heart.
After a short wait, Yi gave the expected response: [Sorry, this machine did not find the corresponding language system in the human-linked database.]
[In addition...]
[This machine just compared the frequency of these flashes with the frequency of flashes recorded in the Starlight Forest at that time.] Yi's electronic synthesized voice continued to come: [The two are highly similar, and can basically be determined to be the same language system.]
Chen Fan nodded calmly.
The similar-shaped buildings, streets and mechanical armor, plus the same language system, these evidences are enough to prove that the Xinaluo civilization in front of us is the civilization displayed by the ghost fleet in the Starlight Forest!
At the same time, the argument of the Xinaluo people seemed to have reached a white-hot stage-the faint fluorescence seeping out of the holes on the side of the mechanical armor was flashing rapidly, and not only that, their body movements were also richer.
Suddenly!
These mechanical armors stopped arguing at the same time, and the rapidly flashing light on their bodies became softer.
Not only that, under Chen Fan's gaze, they slowly turned sideways and once again pointed the visor with a faint reflective light at Chen Fan from a distance.
Chen Fan subconsciously held his breath.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the landing platform seemed to be completely frozen.
After the extreme silence, there was extreme movement!
These mechanical armors suddenly rose up, showing unprecedented flexibility, and rushed towards Chen Fan at a very fast speed!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavy steps stomped hard on the landing platform made of high-strength composite materials, making an extremely dull sound like a heavy hammer!
Chen Fan's pupils dilated slightly, and while his heart was beating violently, his mind quickly flashed through his words and deeds after entering the Xinaluo star system.
Could it be...
that there was a landmine somewhere?
Or was this Xinaluo civilization already prepared to take action?
For a while, Chen Fan's mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts.
A distance of dozens of meters is just a few steps for these mechanical armors!
In just one or two seconds, these mechanical armors rushed to a position only half a step away from Chen Fan! !
Seeing that these Xinaluo mechanical armors were about to touch Chen Fan standing in the front, a light golden barrier appeared between the two without warning, perfectly isolating the two sides!
Shipboard shield, start! !
But...
something more puzzling happened.
The mechanical armor did not continue to rush forward, nor did it attack the light golden barrier.
When it was about to touch the light golden barrier, the Xinaluo mechanical armor suddenly stopped its steps!
Then, with the sound of neat mechanical collisions, these mechas squatted down in unison, almost kneeling in front of Chen Fan.
This kneeling posture was actually not unfamiliar to Chen Fan - as early as in the information interference phantom presented by the ghost fleet, a group of mechanical armors had made similar actions! !
Chen Fan subconsciously took a half step back, his Adam's apple trembled up and down, and he was shocked by the strange scene in front of him and couldn't speak.
Behind him, Hongshi's soft exclamation came!
A civilization, a sovereign civilization, would actually take the initiative to do such a thing to a civilization that it had never met!
"This..." Hongshi was shocked and murmured in a low voice: "This... How is this possible..."
She had been an investigator for so many years, but this was the first time she encountered such a situation!
Perhaps she had noticed Chen Fan's retreat, so the mechanical armor kneeling in the front hurriedly moved forward a few steps
.
With the sound of gas release, the visor on the head of the mechanical armor suddenly rose, revealing the mecha pilot inside.
Light brown shoulder-length hair, a nearly perfect and delicate face, and the almost imperceptible tiny ear holes hidden behind the soft long hair and the round curve on the chest...
It's just...
It's exactly the same as the Xinaluo female warrior seen in the ghost fleet projection at that time!
Coupled with the almost identical kneeling action, at first glance, Chen Fan even thought he saw the female warrior in the projection again!
But the next moment.
Chen Fan's eyes moved, and he noticed something strange-the Xinaluo in front of him was not the Xinaluo female warrior he saw at that time.
Although the faces and facial features of the two are very similar, there is a very obvious difference in the color of their eyes.
Chen Fan remembered very clearly that the female warrior projected by the ghost fleet had dark brown pupils, while the Xinaluo in front of him had light blue pupils.
Although it was not an "old friend", Chen Fan still saw a familiar taste in her eyes.
The seemingly weak eyes were filled with a bit of determination, and even a bit of pleading.
Her limbs were hidden in the mechanical armor. As the muscles on her shoulders twitched slightly, the huge mechanical hand slowly raised, palms facing up, and stretched out to Chen Fan in a virtual cupping shape.
Bang!
Suddenly, a dull collision sound came from the front, and waves of ripples spread from the pale golden barrier between the two.
The ship-borne shield stopped the actions of the Xinaluo.
The Xinaluo was stunned for a moment and tried again.
After stirring up layers of ripples again, her beautiful face suddenly showed a bit of urgency, and the flashing fluorescence on her body became more rapid, as if conveying some information to Chen Fan.
Looking at the actions of the Xinaluo, Chen Fan had a faint understanding in his heart - at that time, in the projection of the ghost fleet, the female warrior also made corresponding actions.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Chen Fan gave an order to Yi.
"One, turn off the ship's shield."
"Chen Fan!" Hongshi's anxious voice came from behind, "Will this..."
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and calmed himself: "Trust me, nothing will happen."
As soon as the voice fell, the light golden shield began to slowly dissipate.
The barrier disappeared.
Just like the experience in the phantom at the beginning, the pair of huge mechanical palms continued to extend forward and finally placed steadily in front of Chen Fan.
Looking at the highly similar Xina Luoren in front of him and the almost completely identical etiquette, Chen Fan suddenly felt a trance.
An illusion of traveling through time involuntarily emerged in his mind.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Fan raised his hand with a dazed look and gently placed it on the mechanical palm in front of him.
Seeing this scene, the female Xina Luoren in the mechanical armor showed a smile on her face, and then slowly lowered her head.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
...
A few minutes later.
Chen Fan finally came back to his senses from shock and trance.
"Quick!"
He shuddered and hurriedly retracted his palm: "First, send electromagnetic waves to the other party and ask why they did this!"
Seeing Chen Fan retract his palm, the mechanical armors kneeling on the ground slowly stood up.
They opened the visors on the armor one after another and stood in front of Chen Fan with respectful expressions.
On the other side, Hongshi, who was confused, finally found an opportunity and asked Chen Fan in a low voice: "Sir Chen Fan, what is going on?"
Although Isa and Gao Yuan had just told her about their experience in the Starlight Forest in the mental network,
Hongshi still felt that what was happening in front of her was too outrageous!
It was agreed to be a guest, but in the end... What does it mean that the host knelt down to the guest?
If there is any misunderstanding...
That would be a big trouble.
A complete interstellar diplomatic accident! !
Thinking of this, the expression on Hongshi's face became more and more anxious.
Facing Hongshi's question, Chen Fan shook his head blankly: "You may not believe it..."
"Actually, I don't know what the other party wants to do."
Hongshi: "???"
I don't know if you dare to respond to the other party's actions? !
Perhaps it was because they received the electromagnetic wave signal sent by the smart terminal, the bodies of the Xinaluo people in front of them began to flicker again. Among them, the female Xinaluo person in the lead had the most intense body flickering frequency.
After waiting for a while.
A very brief message appeared on the holographic panel in front of Chen Fan.
"Dear messenger, the prophecy was not wrong. The Xinaluo civilization has finally waited for your arrival!"
