Quite unlike what I had imagined, the place where I was in the Zerratul Room was neither a grand and expansive courtroom-like building, nor a central computer room full of cables and a sci-fi atmosphere of light and shadow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small room in the ordinary. The furnishings are very user-friendly and a little retro.

In a simple and casual setting, wooden tables and chairs are placed by the window. The teapot and tea set show that the owner is also a lover of ancient culture.

Curling tea, tea stalks erected in the turquoise. In the leisurely and contented, it shows more elegant taste.

Unfortunately, the view from the window doesn't match the interior at all.

Sitting at the table, although it was an old man dressed retro and elegant in plain color, it was not difficult to see from the strange streamers that flashed on his body from time to time that this was just a holographic projection.

Captured by the strange sight in front of me, I was now at a loss in the center of my room.

"Young man, don't be too restrained, come and sit beside me. This is a specially cultivated green tea with the taste and mellow flavor of the new tea of ancient times. ”

The holographic projection beckoned me to sit down, but in the face of such a strange scene, how dare I approach with confidence.

Seeing that I had been hesitating, the old man showed a look of pity.

"It's really a treasure, so good head tea is going to be wasted. If I were you, I'd want to take a bite even if I died. ”

“……”

"Not yet? Or do you think it's better to call two machines to hold you to a chair? ”

The old man turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, and the earnest elder of the whole system of images instantly turned into a vicious person with a tyrannical expression and a full body of anger.

I was so frightened by his change that my legs went a little weak, and I limped to the table and sat down.

The old man looked down at my right leg.

"Oh, I was negligent, I didn't expect you to have such a big difficulty. This doesn't matter, let the holographic lathe print a fake prosthetic leg for a while, so that you can walk normally. ”

In the relationship with the university major, I know some ancient tea etiquette, and I know that the tea on the table must first smell the fragrance, then distinguish the color, and finally drink, and the tea can not be spoken.

Although it is absolutely weird to drink tea with ancient rites in front of the high-tech scenery, it seems that it is not easy not to do the rest of the life without following the locals, for the sake of my life, I still followed the steps in my memory.

"Oh! Unexpectedly, today I finally met someone who understands. This is pure, the ancient earth tea etiquette, someone can repeat it, it's great, it's so touching to me! ”

Looking at a person inexplicably excited there, my heart is not a taste. It would be humiliating to be a prisoner, not to mention that I still have my comrades in the detachment in mind, and I don't know what happened to them.

Looking at Mrs. Wall's strength, it has reached a terrifying level. It is estimated that Galen's abacus will not work. A fleet of such strength, once released, is likely to be an unmanageable end.

"I have a reluctant request, can you use the ancient rites to drink this cup of tea in front of me, okay, you look at me like this, I really can't drink tea, if I let the rare new tea waste like this, it's a sin!"

I didn't have the old man's emotion, but I did it anyway, and showed a look of admiration for the tea.

The old man was really happy, and praised me again and again for being a bosom friend in the old saying.

I promised, thinking that fortunately I didn't tell him, in fact, the two so-called cups of tea were full of the taste of engine oil, and there was no fragrance and bitterness in them.

"Uh, excuse me, are you Plato?"

Knowing that the other party has a habit of ancient culture, I also used ancient words in my name, hoping to grasp the current situation without provoking the other party.

"Ah, yes, yes, I am Plato, Wolf, the leader of Avalon."

The old man seemed to answer my question, but it made me even more confused.

What is Avalon? How did the mechanical civilization make it look like an ancient tribe and make a leader?

Perhaps seeing my doubts, the old man laughed.

"Don't be nervous, I know that there are many lies that the outside world has slandered our Wolf Field. To say that we are made up of machines and are trying to exterminate all of humanity is nonsense. ”

I've noticed that the hologram I'm looking at is very emotional, he can be gentle and gentle in order to show anger, and he can be tyrannical and insane. This kind of highly volatile mood change is not something that humans can do.

After the projection of the whole system, it is not really human.

"Young man, let's get down to business first. I asked someone to bring you here because I wanted to ask you. ”

Zeratul suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious.

I saw the miracle of his face-changing in seconds again, and I became more and more sure that this Zeratul was not human.

"Okay, excuse me, as long as I know, I won't hide it."

The heart is coming.

I unconsciously took a deep breath. Pray mentally to get through the current difficulties quickly.

After knowing that I had been captured, after much thought, I decided not to resist uselessly and to say whatever I knew.

I was not trained to resist interrogation, and I was dealing with Mrs. Wall, who had a very high tech advantage. Rather than resisting uselessly and ending up in a vegetative state, you can't keep it a secret.

It would be wiser to know everything and survive as a captive as much as possible.

I felt something pass by on the ceiling, and a burning sensation instantly swept over my head, and when I turned my head to look, the burning sensation disappeared again.

"Young man, knowledgeable, smart person, I really didn't misunderstand you."

The old man's expression instantly changed from serious to happy.

To be honest, he looked horrible, I felt like I was facing a madman.

Luckily, I've been prepared for the implementation and kept it on the surface.

"Then let me ask you, is the purpose of the five of you traveling here to open the 22 layers of armor belts leading to the surface of the planet?"

In order to avoid saying the wrong thing or endangering my life due to ambiguity, I answered with more explicit body language.

The old man nodded, satisfied with my answer.

"So what's going on with two other forces, one should be the Proxima Centauri, and the other is a group of old guards who are about to be abandoned by the times. I would like to know who the other group is, and it seems that they are trying to prevent you from opening the armor belt. ”

When the old man was talking about business, his expression was dull, and his whole face was like a mask. From his look, I was once again sure that he had nothing to do with humanity.

"There's also a small group of people who are part of our Martian Defense Force. They've been tricked into believing that your fleet is going to wipe out all of humanity in an attempt to prevent us from opening up the armoured blockade. ”

By now, I knew everything, and Zeratul nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, his expression became immediate, and even if it was a virtual projection, those eyes were aggressive as if they were about to eat people.

"I still have a box of questions, let go of the command set of the armor belt blockade, is it in your place?!"

Zeratul spoke quickly and quickly on the subject, and his menacing look seemed to say, "If you hesitate a little, you are lying!" ”

In the face of his questioning, the sweat on my body couldn't stop flowing, and my breathing became short.

Zeratul's expression became more and more fierce.

I have a feeling that if my answer doesn't match his wishes, the next moment I will face a situation where life is worse than death.
