Xi Yujin was brought to the aircraft. He looked back at the fierce battle with Ganuo, reminding himself to trust Ganuo, and then acted as if he had no regrets. Baiying saw several high-level Zergs joining the battle, thinking that Haiying had really embarrassed himself for the second time.
The aircraft quickly moved away from the surface of the earth. In the blink of an eye, they were in space.
Xi Yujin thought he preferred life on the surface, but at this moment, he felt lighter all over, the shackles of gravity were instantly removed, and his familiar navigation instinct emerged. Even the endless darkness around him made him feel nostalgic. The universe is so vast, and the vision on the surface is too narrow in comparison. He was like a frog that had just drilled out of the bottom of a well, surrendering to the vast dome.
It turns out that he has become accustomed to traveling in this universe.
Perhaps because his expression changed too obviously, Bai Ying suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at the universe." Xi Yujin answered honestly.
Bai Ying knocked on the window. The Zerg aircraft had no glass, but a hard film. He said casually, "What's so good about it?"
Xi Yujin said nothing, he was secretly pushing back in his heart. Some Zergs look at the universe for a long time without any feelings, while some Zergs can feel the desire for freedom when looking at the universe. It turns out that Gano is a little bit better.
The two creatures came to the planet where the cave-shaped prison was located in silence.
Looking from above, a dense group of people were patrolling around the building in the middle, and there were many ferocious-looking Zerg subspecies among them. Bai Ying said in a playful tone, "Are you still thinking about how to escape like that fourth-class soldier?"
Xi Yujin still ignored him.
After the aircraft landed for a distance, Xi Yujin finally saw the cave-shaped prison clearly. It looked like a huge lotus pod, with holes arranged in different sizes. However, there were no patrol teams around the cave-shaped prison, probably because it was a restricted area. But if something crawled out of the hole, the patrol team would see it immediately.
Xi Yujin had a vague feeling that the Tide Flat was nearby. Because his asteroid coder was still on it. The six coders, except for the armor core, were all star fragments, which could respond to him. At least he made the right move to find the Tide Flat.
They landed on the edge of the Lotus Prison. Bai Ying put vine-style handcuffs on Xi Yujin, which were decorated with small white flowers. They were just for flower fairies. Xi Yujin shook his hands curiously. The vine handcuffs looked soft, but they were actually very tight. He took a few steps towards the prison, but Bai Ying didn't follow him. He turned around and asked the first question: "Where is my cell?"
"Zerg cannot enter the cave prison."
Bai Ying always stood behind the cordon.
"The transport tool next to you will take you to the appropriate cell based on your weight and size."
"Do I have to go to jail again..." Xi Yujin complained silently. But thinking that he could get the honor of "prison novelist", he endured it. He ran to the skateboard-like tool next door.
This skateboard should be made of large petals, with several stamen-like plants to stabilize the body. Xi Yujin found a comfortable angle to sit down. He found that there was a track under the skateboard, a catapult device at the back, and a passage with a closed door in front.
He was inexplicably nervous, he was going to be officially imprisoned!
Some novelists were imprisoned for embezzlement (O. Henry), some for homosexuality (Oscar Wilde), and some for revolution (Dostoyevsky). In any case, imprisonment is a standard for famous novelists.
The prison he is about to enter is so fashionable, it is the famous Zerg prison in the universe. He will definitely write well in the future, and his next work may be "The Count of the Cave Prison" or something like that.
Bai Ying noticed that Xi Yujin's mood suddenly became high, and he became even more confused.
Hesitantly, he pulled a lever.
The ejection device behind Xi Yujin's skateboard was immediately activated, the door in front of him slammed open, and the skateboard and Xi Yujin were shot out like a cannonball.
The strong wind hit Xi Yujin's face, and the sudden acceleration of the environment surprised him.
The skateboard passed through several bends and accelerated to an incredible speed. Suddenly, the eyes lit up and the narrow passage was finally coming to an end. When the skateboard rushed out of the exit, Xi Yujin seemed to have grown wings and flew up. If it weren't for the fixing device, he would have been separated from the skateboard long ago.
And below him was a huge abyss with a diameter of two hundred meters.
The skateboard flew over the huge hole and landed smoothly on the edge of the cave. The track was slightly sloped, and they were going very fast, so the skateboard continued to move forward. After going around a bend, he saw another hole, but this one was smaller than the previous one, and he still flew through it quickly.
While running, Xi Yujin suddenly realized that the Zerg had no machines and soldiers could not enter the prison...so the cells in the entire prison were divided according to weight and size!
If they are heavier and larger, they will fall in the first few holes, while smaller and lighter prisoners will continue to slide down. Xi Yujin can adjust gravity spontaneously. Currently, he weighs the same as a normal adult, so he should be able to slide very far.
Xi Yujin figured it out, but he didn’t understand that the prison procedure was different from what he expected. The first level was actually a roller coaster!
“Ahhhhh—”
“So fun!”
Xi Yujin couldn't help but enjoy the fun of the roller coaster and cheered in the wind.
Bai Ying stood at the prison entrance and heard Xi Yujin's voice. He was angry and amused. He had seen how a creature could be so happy in prison. He didn't even realize that his mood had suddenly improved.
Xi Yujin's skateboard was getting slower and slower, and he guessed that he would fall into the next hole. He was ready.
Just as the skateboard was about to reach the cave entrance, the entrance in front of it suddenly closed. The skateboard slid smoothly over, all the way to the center of the cave-shaped prison. Then it climbed back to the edge of the prison section by section.
"What happened..." Xi Yujin returned to the cave entrance and met Bai Ying again.
Bai Ying folded his arms and said, "Continue the prison procedure and go to the trial court."
In fact, sliding has another purpose, to detect whether there are any signals from the omnics. There are omnic remains in several holes. But this A-class obviously just wants to have fun.
Xi Yujin got out of the car and walked out of the prison, muttering, "I thought I was going to fall."
Baiying walked in another direction: "I see you look very happy."
The courtroom was not in the prison but in a small nut house at a distance. They walked there.
Bai Ying sensed that Xi Yujin was in a low mood again, and thought that he finally knew how to be afraid, otherwise he would not be able to stand the happy thought prisoner. Happiness is easy to be infected, and the emptiness of suddenly losing happiness is terrible.
He looked at Xi Yujin, but found that Xi Yujin was staring at the workers in the interrogation court.
The workers are mainly responsible for repetitive mechanical labor such as cleaning and massaging the interrogation master brain. Therefore, most of them are performed by the weakest class of the Zerg.
Among the Zerg group, they call it "La".
These Las are short, hairless, with rough and stacked skin, and their muscles have lost their stretchability prematurely. They look stupid, as if they are always happy. Zerg society always needs classes to fill some of the bottom positions. Therefore, these underdeveloped "Las" were born.
Xi Yujin thought of the ones brought by the starship. Except for the fact that they also had no hair, they were very different from the native Zerg in other aspects.
Do the starships know their return destination?
Can the local Zerg understand that if they reproduce freely in a fertile land, they can gradually make up for their genetic defects and eventually hatch artists that even the local Zerg have never seen before?
Ra can evolve genetically to a completely different form. Ganuo can overcome genetic defects and develop a sense of exploration. What is the need for the system of dividing the Zerg into different levels based on their genes?
Xi Yujin's nature made him hate all of this.
He didn’t let his emotions get the better of him and was also thinking.
The Zerg are divided into multiple classes, and those responsible for fighting must account for a large part of them. Now they can only replay the battlefield in the egg brain, so there is a huge redundancy of warriors... This surplus productivity should have been used to develop art. The Zerg society has stagnated until now, which must be inseparable from the queen.
While thinking, Xi Yujin walked into the spacious interrogation courtroom.
There is no other creature inside, only a huge white egg brain. The egg brain is a subspecies of the Zerg. This egg brain was once the queen's egg of the same period, and was cultivated with rich resources. Unfortunately, the mutation failed, so it was pulled to be cultivated into the interrogation master brain. Workers need to massage it regularly to dissipate heat.
Bai Ying gestured to the giant egg brain: "He is a servant, and it is within my scope of responsibility. I apply for assistance in the interrogation."
The egg brain sent a signal that Yu Jin couldn't understand, so Bai Ying sat down next to it.
Bai Ying handed the manuscript to the egg brain. The egg brain squirmed and made a swallowing motion, eating up the manuscript completely, and sent a signal after a few seconds.
Bai Ying listened quietly. After a while, he said to Xi Yujin, "The interrogation mastermind has found you guilty of thought crime. What do you have to say?"
"I'm supposed to be able to defend myself?"
Xi Yujin's voice echoed in the empty interrogation courtroom.
"I would like to ask a question first. Writing novels is one of the common pleasures of the Servant. What content did I write that touched the boundaries of the Zerg?"
The interrogation master sent a radio wave.
Bai Ying translated: "You shouldn't write about the butterfly tribe."
Xi Yujin said, "The butterfly tribe is a completely fictional creature. Fiction is a major category of novels, and I don't know what crime normal writing has committed. Or is it that I write about the butterfly tribe, but you read about the insect tribe?"
Bai Ying received the second radio wave and translated: "You shouldn't over-describe emotions."
"If you Zerg don't have emotions, then I'm willing to admit that having emotions is a sin." Xi Yujin said, "But you clearly have friendship. You care about your fellow Zerg, love your mother, and hate your enemies... Aren't these all emotions? Why do you regard them as a flood?"
The interrogation mastermind said that Xiaoba's literature was still too beyond the Zerg morality.
Bai Ying pretended to be translating and said to Xi Yujin: "That is morality, not love."
Xi Yujin accidentally thought of Ganuo. People in love can't help but reveal their reckless sweetness. The corners of his mouth curved up, but he quickly suppressed it and said seriously: "Don't you love the queen?"
Bai Ying did not answer.
"I understand." Xi Yujin said in a normal tone, "The so-called thought crime is that I wrote a protagonist who longs for freedom."
The interrogation master paused and output, "How embarrassing! This novelist is a confirmed thought criminal. I'm still waiting for updates."
Bai Ying's expression was slightly touched.
"I want to defend myself." Xi Yujin said, "Free navigation is the right of cosmic creatures... The universe is vast. Did you know that the Zerg Queen once lost a nest of insects outside? After years of free evolution, they have built a city of free art. In the outside world, due to the technological ban of the intelligent machines, the translation AI has been lost, so translators are a very common profession. You are a translator now. You can read and understand entire works of art outside. I don't know how many creatures envy you..."
Because Bai Ying had always been approachable, Xi Yujin couldn't help but hold out some hope. He lowered his voice:
"Don't you...want to take a look at the depths of the universe?"
The interrogator said that the Zerg warriors were really arrogant thought criminals and only if they poached him in front of them would they be foolish enough to agree to his request.
Bai Ying didn't react.
Xi Yujin turned his gaze towards the interrogation mastermind. It had not spoken a word, but that did not mean it could not understand. It might have been cursing him. The Zerg's biotechnology should not be underestimated.
Thinking of Ganuo, thinking of "La", thinking of Baiying, and the various phenomena after coming to the Zerg, Xi Yujin gradually strung them together into a pearl necklace.
In the dead silence of the interrogation room, he suddenly spoke:
"Ers, the first Zerg Queen, was born out of revenge. Her deeds are engraved in the center of all nest trees, and all Zerg understand her thoughts from the moment they are born."
Bai Ying frowned: "How do you know this?"
"The ultimate goal of the Zerg is not just revenge." Xi Yujin interrupted him and said his own understanding, "but to return home."
When La learned of the existence of the Zerg Queen, his first reaction was to return.
This is not caused by emotions, but an instinct engraved in our genes.
The Zerg have a special type of warrior called a Planter.
The queen used planters to transform the planet but did not live on it because she just wanted to get back the planet with green mountains and clear waters in her dreams.
But billions of planets, even if they have been cleared of civilization and covered with green plants, are not the original home.
"The Zerg's homeland perished when Ers was born."
Xi Yujin said bluntly.
"The war is over. The existence of the Zerg has no meaning now. This is my defense."
…
The interrogator screamed treason.
Bai Ying said mercilessly: "Go to jail." Then he carried Xi Yujin back to the prison.
Xi Yujin confirmed that he was not being taken to a gallows or something like that, and continued to challenge, "I have my own name, Mountain Ash. Even if there are other creatures with the same name as me, I am still unique. Does your name belong to you?"
"Mountain ash... I have seen you roast nectar into ash." Bai Ying said coldly.
Xi Yujin instantly understood that this bug was a pervert and actually peeped at him and Ganuo’s date!
He added: "I know there are many Ganos among the Zerg, but the Ganos I know are unparalleled in the world."
Bai Ying snorted coldly.
Xi Yujin said some insignificant words, but he was actually thinking quickly in his heart.
Since the Zerg Queen had fought the Omnics, she should have known that the mission of the first Queen Ers was simply unsuccessful. Why didn't the later Zerg Queens make reforms, but instead let the Zerg society continue to ossify until it reached the dead end it is today?
Suddenly an idea struck him.
because……
——The Queen has serious mental disorder!
So what is the Queen's method for curing her mental confusion?
The remaining embers of the meeting fell into the prison area.
Bai Ying stood outside the prison and said, "Get on that tool and return to your cell."
Xi Yujin: "Why would I send myself to the cell? Why don't you come in?"
Bai Ying recited dogma: "Zerg fighters cannot enter the cave prison. But don't think I have no solution."
Xi Yujin looked at him blankly.
A cave prison is a prison for imprisoning foreign objects.
There must be remains of the Omnics inside.
The last piece of the puzzle was finally discovered in Xi Yujin's mind.
In the deep space prison, when the Omnics saw Ganor, they said, "If he is a warrior under the Zerg Queen, we are willing to regard him as one of our own."
…
"I won't go to jail. I want to be the novelist who gets out of jail the fastest."
Xi Yujin said to Bai Ying and to the sky. His hair sparkled with the light of diamonds, and any creature that lived towards the sun could not help but be attracted by him.
"My true form is a star. If I were to dissolve my true form here, I would transfer carbon mass with the stars in this galaxy, triggering a chain reaction. By then, only one in ten lives here would remain. In the name of the star, I request to speak to the Zerg Queen."
…
A long time ago.
The Omnic Mother Box was created by collective peace, looking forward to a peaceful future of cosmic unification, uploading all civilizations.
The Zerg Queen was born out of rage and only wants to regain the planet that only existed in the past and destroy all civilizations.
They have never met, but they are fighting on a battlefield across time and space as if they have a blood feud.
Now that the war was finally over, they had their first and only communication.
“It hurts so much…”
"I've come up with a good way to ease the mental confusion."
No one could have imagined that these lifelong enemies would exchange treatment experiences like fellow patients in the same ward. Their symptoms were exactly opposite, the Omnics could not find their past, and the Zerg... had no future. It must be said that fate is always the most malicious coincidence.
The Zerg Queen said, "I will teach you how to make machines simulate organisms. Our egg-brain technology is the best processor. Re-enact your collection on the surface, and perhaps you can deduce the correct timeline, Omnic."
The Omnic Mother Box outputs: "Message received successfully, copy creation started. Please check, carbon illiterate."
Massive amounts of information are surging towards distant directions like a tide.
"Here's how to make living things work like machines."
