Chapter 261: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
The air in the room seemed to freeze at this moment, and the person who came in froze in horror, not daring to move his body for half a minute, because his body was already surrounded by sharp blades.
The sharp monomolecular blades of several gatherers were only half a millimeter away from the other party, and if it weren't for Huo Gu's ability to stop it in time, I'm afraid that the people who came in would have been broken into pieces, and they couldn't die anymore.
"Will, why is it stopping us?"
"Yes, the betrayers deserve to die! No tolerance! ”
The Gatherers shouted on the Life Field channel, gnashing their teeth at the betrayer who had entered their field of vision, eager to gnaw at its bones, eat its flesh, drink its blood, and make the scum in their eyes disappear.
"All of you, use your brains, remember your current identity, and what kind of place this is, bring you this time, I just hope you can light your brains a little."
"Stay where you just now, you're tired."
At Hogu's command, several gatherers glared resentfully at the betrayer who was trembling in place, and obediently returned to the soft bed sofa.
Still, their eyes were fixed on the betrayer, like a hunter on his prey.
Hogu glanced at the gatherers, then at the betrayer who had entered the room.
"It's been a long time, this is the second time we've met, and it seems that we are still very fateful."
"Will... Isn't it said that they are all gatherers? ”
The other party froze, and from the Life Field Channel, Huo Gu could read that the other party felt incredulous that it was here, and at the same time shocked and horrified.
"Aren't I welcome? If it weren't for me, you'd be gone by now. ”
Huo Gu was very kind, the moment he saw this individual, the little abacus in his heart turned again, this betrayer may be able to play some role in this trip to the home planet of the Seren, its tentacles naturally waved to the side, and kindly invited the other party to take a seat.
"What's your name?"
"I... My name is private. ”
"Selfish, if I'm not mistaken, you betrayers are extremely selfish, and contact with gatherers will cost you your life, what kind of benefit makes you not even want your life?"
"I ......"
I don't know how to explain it for a while, as Hogu said, betrayers are egoists, and their own interests are the highest in their eyes, so contrary to gatherers, they cherish their lives very much, and value their lives more than anything else, and generally do not do such things as risking their lives, except in special circumstances.
However, in the last negotiation, when he met Huo Gu, he thought it would be solved on the spot, but it did not die, and Huo Gu did not do anything to it, the betrayer, which made it emboldened, thinking that as long as it was next to the big tree of the Serens and knew how to take advantage of the situation, at least on the surface, Huo Gu's side would not kill it.
Because it is necessary to consider the benefits and losses, to think rationally, to weigh the pros and cons, to consider whether it is worth it, what to gain and what to lose as a result - as long as you are not crazy or stupid, or beyond the scope of understanding, this method is very effective, especially for individuals with high IQs.
But the gatherers don't eat it, they have low IQs, and they're impulsive — what? Is it bad to kill you? But I killed a betrayer, it was beneficial to the race, why did it not affect well?
It was because of this mistake that he almost died on the spot, if Huo Gu hadn't stopped him.
Although Huo Gu couldn't read his mind, he could judge some clues by observing the emotions expressed in the other party's life field, and this betrayer obviously didn't expect the gatherers to move directly at it, and a simple logical deduction could also understand a rough idea.
"Private, you have to know that whether you die or not is irrelevant to both of us, even if it is the worst outcome, it is impossible to fight because of you, do you understand? Unless the leader of the Serens is insane. ”
"Yes...... That's what you're saying. ”
When the two sides fell into silence for a long time, Huo Gu suddenly popped out such a paragraph, and his selfish heart sank to the bottom with the appearance of this paragraph.
It thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was right, and then it was annoyed that it didn't know whether it was alive or dead to promise the Seren, if there was a regret medicine in this world, it must buy it all!
Just when he was in a state of trepidation, Huo Gu continued.
"So do you want to live? Or do you wish you were dying here like this pointlessly? Don't worry, it won't damage the relationship between the two sides, I will let them eat you, and there will be no residue left, and when the time comes, I will flatly deny contact with you, and the Serens will only treat you as missing. ”
"Of course I want to live! Great will, please give me a way to live! ”
In the face of the selfishness that had lost control of his emotions, the tone of Huo Gu's reply was still so unhurried, its gaze made the private tremble, this unparalleled deterrent power was like the powerlessness of mortals looking up to the gods, and privately felt the pressure from the life field, which was despair that could not be described in words.
"I can restrain these fools from doing anything to you, but you can't reveal my existence, understand?"
"Understood! Got it! ”
"I will never leak a little rumor, I vouch for my life!"
Nodding his head privately, nothing is more important than being alive, Huo Gu passed the life field, after confirming the other party's true thoughts, he did not use any intimidation methods, and the life field returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had never happened.
"That's right, well, speaking of which, did you come to us for something?"
Hogu shifted the conversation in other directions to ease the tense atmosphere just now.
"I've been assigned to be your guide, and my job is to translate and record-take." Privately replied with great respect.
Hearing this, Huo Gu couldn't help but sneer, it had expected that the Seren people would do this early in the morning, but it didn't expect them to move so quickly, and they didn't even have a hot chair when they first came, so it was arranged.
Unbeknownst to Hogu, it was all thanks to the Imperial emissary named Tyne on Twilight, who reported his situation truthfully and emphasized the differences in civilizations that the Empire reacted so quickly.
"Is there still regular reporting? Don't say anything about recording, isn't it surveillance? Let me guess, are we afraid that something will happen to us, and it will be difficult to deal with it? Hogu asked.
“……”
I don't know if I should answer this question or not.
"Okay, there's a guide who happens to be hungry and needs to replenish some bioenergy."
Rising from his seat, Hogu shouted as he looked at the few gatherers who still didn't intend to let go of the traitor.
"Don't lie down, let's go eat."
Several gatherers silently got up and stared at the private, private with a bad premonition, thinking if it was better for it to run away now.
Then, a few of the gatherers uttered the words that it would never forget.
"Will, is it to eat this guy? If you can, please give me your head, you've always thought we'd be stupid, and I think we'll be smarter after eating it. ”
"I'll take you to the nearest place to eat!"
