The reason why Todd saw the albinistic girl's actions and thought of the "electromagnetic railgun" was actually because the other party's series of actions were very similar to the launch form of the railgun.

First of all, let's talk about the firing principle of the electromagnetic railgun, the gun body is generally composed of two parallel long straight guide rails, and a small mass slider is placed between the guide rails as a projectile. When the two rails are connected to the power supply, a strong current flows in from one guide rail and flows back from the other rail through the slider, a strong magnetic field is generated between the planes of the two guide rails, and the current slider will be emitted at a great speed (theoretically it can reach sub-light speed) under the action of ampere force.

In contrast, the two parallel long straight rails of the railgun are the arms of the girl stretched out and facing each other, the smaller slider is the iron arrow, and the blue "lines" on her body are probably the reason for the strong current.

However, considering this scientific knowledge now, it is obviously not the right time.

Todra took Reichel and Huggins behind the stone table, and unconsciously shrank his head as he watched the second electromagnetic cannonball whizzing overhead, shattering a man-tall rock in the cavern.

"Get out!"

Listening to the girl's sharp scream, Todd covered his head, looked at the woman beside him, and asked eagerly, "How did you get in touch with her in the past?"

Richer looked at the rubble all over the ground and said with a panicked face: "In the past, we only talked to each other near the entrance of the cave, and this girl didn't embarrass us much at the time, I don't know why she suddenly became so angry today. And this alien ability, it's not like thunder and lightning at all!"

Todd turned his head and said in his heart: This is indeed a lightning ability, but it converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. But this kind of attack ability similar to the "electromagnetic railgun", compared to the past ones that breathe flames and release poison gas, is it really strong enough to break the dimensional wall, okay?

Huggins tightened the armor on his body, lifted his long sword, and gestured to get up: "Chief Commander, if I can find an opportunity, maybe I can get close to her and subdue her." ”

Todd hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head desperately: "Trust me! For that kind of attack, the armor on your body plus the ability of the 'Inheritor' can provide defensive power, but it is just a blank piece of paper!"

Todd looked at the top of the cave that was dyed in a dazzling blue glow, and his mind raced to think.

"Gotta find a way to let the other party know that we don't mean it. 』

Todd suddenly remembered that when he was living in the convent, Huggins could always bring out some food whenever and wherever he wanted, and he suddenly had an idea.

He patted Huggins' armor, "Did you bring anything to eat?"

The latter was a little surprised by this question, but he hurriedly untied his armor and took out half a piece of whole wheat bread, a boiled egg, an apple, a handful of gooseberries, and a small half of ham from the cloth pocket at his waist......

Todd watched the food on the ground pile up higher and higher, his eyes widened, and he glanced at Huggins's cloth bag, and a thought came to his mind, could that thing be the legendary "dimensional bag"?

Luckily, Huggins shook his head at Todd after pulling out the last bundle of dried pods.

The latter took a deep look at the other, picked out the boiled egg from the pile of food, and flicked it down the ground to the maiden.

After a few moments, the screaming stopped.

Todd cautiously peeked out half of his head from the stone table, and found the albino girl holding an egg, staring at him motionlessly, her eyes full of wariness. He bent down to pick up the apple from the ground, put it to his mouth and nibbled it, and threw it at the other man. Next, bread, ham, gooseberries...... Todd always eats a bite of it himself and then throws it to the girl.

Eventually, the albinistic girl lowered her guard and retreated to the other side of the cave with the food in her arms, eating quickly while carefully watching the movements.

For the next hour, the three of Todd knelt behind the stone table in a strange position and had a conversation with the "hardliner" xenomorph.

Due to the long-term isolation, the girl's language function has deteriorated slightly, but simple communication can still be carried out. From her fragmented words, Todd learns from her a sad past: the maiden's name is Cosette. When she was very young, she had a vague memory, and she only remembered entering the cave with her parents. Her parents told Cosette not to run around, and they would come to pick her up after a while. The girl believed her parents' words and stayed in the cold and damp cave, drinking the water of the cave when she was thirsty, and catching insects and small beasts in the cave when she was hungry. And so on, that is, years.

Todd clearly understood what Cosette's parents meant by "return". He also vaguely knew that the girl in front of him, whose intelligence level was no different from ordinary people, may not have guessed the cruel truth. However, Cosette made the human form of her parents out of clay with her own hands, and put the longing for family in her fantasy, perhaps...... For her, it is happier to die slowly in this cave in a false but warm dream than to live in an endless despair......

"Cosette, do you know how birds train their children to fly?"

Seeing the girl shake her head, Todd continued: "They take the children whose wings have not yet grown and bring them to the edge of the nest, and then push the young birds out and force them to learn to fly in the air. ”

Todd slowly stood up from behind the stone table and looked at the girl in front of him: "You can't stay in this nest for the rest of your life, just like a baby bird can't stay under the wings of its parents forever. ”

Cosette took a step back and said in a tough tone, "I'm not going to leave Mom and Dad!"

"And what if they die?"

Todd glanced at the clay figure in front of him and nudged forward with his hand, and the two statues representing the girl's parents fell to the ground and became two.

"No !!"

Cosette let out a loud cry of grief as she pulled the iron arrowhead out of her coat pocket, her arms straightened, and the blue light on her body reappeared.

Huggins stood up and stood in front of Todd, while Rachel stretched out his right hand, concentrated, and used his "mental power" to force the girl's arms down.

Todd walked up to Cosette, looked at the tears overflowing from the other party's pale pink pupils, sighed, and said slowly, "I must admit that the process of learning to fly is really frustrating and painful. But if a bird survives only by feeding, after the death of its parents, it can no longer find food in the nest, and can only use the corpses of its parents as its last meal...... So, Cosette, try to learn how to adapt to the painful world out there......"
