The drone slowly approached the radio signal point, and soon, Fang Zheng saw the appearance of the object on the screen. It looked like a composite of steel and rock, half steel and half rock, with an antenna that looked like a branch on the outside. The shape was like a round jar dug out from a pile of dirt and still covered with mud.
But the strange words and flashing spots on the outside show that they are definitely not naturally produced objects.
"Check carefully, pay attention to the surroundings, investigate the source of the signal, and be careful to hide."
Fang Zheng issued several orders in succession, and soon someone came to do it. Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto was obviously a little curious.
"Is there anything strange about that? Isn't that a tin can? Can we just take it and have a look?"
"This is the universe, my lady."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"We don't even know what it is. It could be a distress message or just a normal probe, but it could also be a decoy or a bomb. Maybe if we touch it, it will collapse immediately and become a black hole that will swallow us all."
"No, that's not possible..."
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto turned pale.
"Why not? We don't know what the other party is. You have to understand that the universe is so vast, with countless different civilizations. Their morals and values may be completely different from ours. Maybe they just like to kill and destroy everything they encounter? In the universe, contact with a completely new civilization always requires caution, caution, and caution."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced at Misaka Mikoto.
"It's like you meet a little white rabbit in an unfamiliar forest. You may think that little white rabbit is cute, but it may turn around and bite your head off."
“Woo…”
"Haha, so Misaka-san just has no brains."
At this moment, an elegant voice came from the other side, and upon hearing this voice, Misaka Mikoto immediately clenched her fists and stared at the blonde girl next to her unhappily.
“Shokuhou…! No one will think you’re dumb if you don’t speak!”
"I've been caught here, what's wrong with saying a few words?"
At this point, Shokuhou Misaki was furious. You know, she didn't even know what happened before. It was just that Fang Zheng suddenly appeared in front of her one day and said to her, "I'm afraid you'll cause trouble if I leave you here alone. I'll give you one day to pack up and then follow me." As a result, she was directly pulled onto the battleship by Fang Zheng the next day.
"But I am really interested in the aliens' way of thinking. I wonder if Mr. Fang Zheng would be willing to let me try it if there is a chance?"
"If there's a chance."
Facing Shokuhou Misaki's request, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. This was another reason why he brought Shokuhou Misaki with him. Fang Zheng didn't have many psychic ability users under him...
Soon, the inspection results came out. It was just a simple signal transmitting device. The technology was very old and quite ordinary. It had been a long time. According to the analysis of the drone, this device had existed for at least six hundred years, and its signal had been intermittent and very incomplete.
"Open it, parse the data, and be safe."
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and gave another order. He saw several mechanical arms appearing from under the drone. They quickly and flexibly captured the signal generator. Then a laser shot out from it, cutting open the outer shell of the device and revealing the parts inside.
The appearance of these parts was also very strange. They looked like a bunch of vines and branches connected together, and then inserted into several carefully polished crystals and stones. The drone quickly went deep into it and began to collect information. Then after a while, Nymph's voice came.
"Report to the master, data collection is complete."
"Let him out."
"yes."
Soon, the screen in front of everyone's eyes flashed, and then a strange image appeared in front of them.
On the screen, there was a strange-looking creature with four arms and four legs, a body as strong as a brown bear, but a head like a teddy bear. It was standing there, shaking its limbs, then standing upside down and making sharp cries.
"Beep, be ...
As they shouted, the monsters opened their mouths, revealing their sharp teeth. They faced the camera, opened their mouths, and then shut them tightly. Soon, the monsters picked up an animal that looked like a frog with a chicken head and bit it hard towards the camera.
“——Gah——Gah!!”
The unfortunate creature was torn into pieces by its sharp teeth, and then the monsters smiled and pointed at the camera again, shaking the torn corpses in their hands, screaming and cheering loudly, and then... the image ended.
"What the hell is this?"
Xiao Hei looked confused, and Illya was so scared that she hid behind her.
"I feel like this is a horror movie starring aliens... Honestly, are they trying to scare us?"
Shirai Kuroko also crossed his arms in dissatisfaction and stared at the screen.
"Like not allowing us to invade their planet, or they'll eat us?"
“I think they are quite similar.”
Misaka Mikoto also nodded. In fact, not only them, but also Asuna, Eriri and others had the same idea. After all, the scene just now was definitely not a good meaning from any level.
However, Fang Zheng did not participate in the girls' discussion. He just opened his personal terminal and contacted Nymph again.
"Nymph, was the analysis successful?"
"Yes, Master, the analysis has been completed. Please wait, I am replacing it... OK."
As Nymph spoke, everyone saw the screen flash in front of their eyes, and the previous scene reappeared, but this time, the strange "beep" had been replaced by words that they could understand.
"We are the TootBears from TootBear Planet!"
The monsters appeared and began to dance.
"Toot, toot, we love peace, we are a kind and friendly race!"
They swung their limbs and stood upside down.
"We welcome guests. We know that we are not the only life in this starry sky! So, guests who see this video, please come to our planet."
As they spoke, the monsters took the chicken-headed frog and shook it in front of the camera.
"We can treat you to the most delicious food!"
One bite and blood flowed like a river.
"Crispy, tender, and delicious! Delicious Gaga Chicken! Welcome, we believe that the pursuit of delicious food is shared by the entire starry sky! You will definitely fall in love with our food! Welcome to our friends!"
The image ends.
“…”
Everyone was silent.
"Either they're crazy or I'm crazy."
Riko reached out and pressed her hand to her forehead.
"Sorry, I need to go back and calm down."
"…Alien civilization is really…"
At this moment, Shokuhou Misaki's face was also extremely stiff.
"…It's really hard to understand…"
Fang Zheng simply ignored the shattered expressions of the girls behind him and contacted Nymph again.
"Are there coordinates on the device?"
"Of course, we have sent a probe to investigate... Ah, wait a moment, the probe has found another transmitter that is very similar to the previous one."
"oh?"
"Information collected...translating...OK."
As Nymph spoke, the scene in front of them changed again. This time, a group of monsters with frog bodies and chicken heads appeared on the screen in front of everyone... Well, everyone said they were not unfamiliar with this thing.
After all, I just saw him.
I saw these frog chickens jumping on the screen and screaming from time to time.
"Hello, hello, guests from far away in the stars. We are the Gaga Chicken, the great Gaga Chicken!"
These frog chickens screamed and jumped, and called as they jumped.
"The great quack chicken loves peace. We are a peace-loving race! We are the great peaceful quack chicken!"
Then the camera turned, and we saw a roasted monster with the body of a bear being pushed out like a whole roasted lamb. Hmm... everyone was familiar with this.
After all, we just met.
"Eating raw food is wrong, barbaric, and backward! The great Gaga Chicken is an excellent, advanced civilization, roast it! Eating it roasted is the correct way of eating! Roast it and then eat it!!"
With a cheer, the cackling chickens pounced forward, stabbed the roasted bears with something like a spear in their hands, tore off their meat, and began to sing.
"I love delicious food the most. Roasted teddy bears are the sweetest. I eat their brains and eyeballs. Their tongues are delicious and crispy..."
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
Before the song was finished, Fili turned away with her face pale and her hands covering her mouth. The black cat beside her was also swaying, looking like she couldn't help herself. Asuna had completely closed her eyes, not daring to look anymore. The expressions of the others were not very good at the moment. Only Kurumi and Iona looked quite calm. After all, for the former, this was nothing, and for the latter... it seemed to be the same?
Finally, the scene ended with the Gaga Chickens inviting “Welcome our new friends to come and taste Dudu Bear.”
“…”
The air was dead silent.
“Ahem.”
After a while, Fang Zheng coughed to break the silence, then he looked at the others.
"So... let's go... take a look?"
