Chapter 171: Companions
[They want to bury me, why?] ]
She was a little confused.
Didn't you have to knock her down to deal with the investigation task before?
Could it be that after her forelimbs were shattered, she discovered her extraordinary, and wanted to swallow her for herself, which seemed to be quite valuable?
Yan Wan was a little messy.
Although he had noticed that they were unusual at the beginning, Yan Wan had never seen such a down-to-earth and greedy person who looked like a human evil god.
The normal family members of the evil god should find something precious → move it back → sacrifice to the evil god, and this process is right.
This hidden operation caught off guard and showed off Yan Wan's face.
[......?] ]
At that moment, a faint crumbling voice sounded that seemed to come from a long time ago.
When it was gradually getting dark in front of her, Yan Wan focused more on hearing, so she heard the voice clearly.
Is it the big guy down there?
Yan Wan felt that this sound should have been emitted by her touching porcelain and hitting the planet below her on the surface.
[Are you my companion?] She asked tentatively.
[Are you my companion?] The big guy didn't answer, but slowly repeated what Yan Wan had just said.
[Hey?] Yan Wan said hello tentatively, and got a repetition that was exactly the same as what she had just said, and even the tone was exactly the same.
[Hey?] ]
Like a parrot, Yan Wan did not give up, but continued to try to communicate with it.
After all, the first time children learn to speak is to imitate the people around them, and regard this big guy as a baby who has just learned to speak, and Yan Wan can treat it with a normal heart.
[Hello, I'm Leah, I'm your companion, I'm going to live with you from today onwards, and I'll take care of you a lot after that.] ]
Yan Wan was waiting for it to continue imitating, but suddenly heard a clear voice and a logical answer.
[Hello, but I don't know who I am.] ]
Yan Wan was startled, her "eyes" widened, the "companions" she communicated with before were basically the aggregate consciousness of the planet, they had no concept of self, and at the same time only had a vague will.
But the one in front of me, at the moment when it answered clearly, was the "me" it called itself.
It completely means that it has a concrete self-consciousness and is able to think normally.
This made Yan Wan extremely surprised.
It's like a human diving and seeing a huge octopus swimming in the sea, so he swam over and said hello.
She didn't expect a response, and it was just a whim.
As a result, the octopus on the opposite side suddenly defied common sense and answered your greeting in human language, which was just as ridiculous and shocking.
[Are you still there?] ]
[I'm sorry for teasing you like that, but I'm a little too happy to meet someone I can communicate with for the first time.] ]
Yan Wan's silence made the big guy misunderstand something, and he hurriedly explained.
But when it speaks, it pauses between words without hurry, revealing an air of slowness and logic.
Yan Wan felt that it was inexplicably a little like President Tartarus.
[Are you angry?] ]
It is only in the last cautious temptation that it becomes a little apprehensive.
[Do you still know what anger is?] Yan Wan asked tentatively.
[I couldn't understand it before, but I've seen other creatures who can't communicate with me act angrily.] It answered honestly.
[So do you understand now?] Yan Wan noticed that it was talking from the past.
[I still don't quite understand, but maybe I know what anger means, and I've experienced it...... It's kind of like what I'm in now, but it's a little different. ]
It hesitated for a moment, and then reversed the previous conclusion and said [But anger doesn't seem to be so pure, anger is essentially a response to the instinct of counterattack because it has been violated?] ]
[Is this also an act of aggression?] An attack that makes the anger weaker after expressing anger? It's not right, as if this mental breakdown is called fear? ]
[Scared?] I remember that this is also a state of the same nature, and these states are related to each other? ]
[It's hard to understand.] ]
Its words came out in a row, leaving Yan Wan with little room to interject, and it wasn't until he finished his last sentence that Yan Wan spoke again, [You're thinking too complicated. ]
[I'm overly complicated?] It repeated Yan Wan's words incomprehensibly.
[Yes, just as a tree needs to be pollinated to blossom and bear fruit, and an animal needs a male and a female to reproduce, emotions are also a result of biological interactions.] Yan Wan tried to explain to it, [except that this fruit is special in that it has no substance.] ]
[So it's a fruit?] It said.
Yan Wan knew that it didn't understand when she heard it answer like this, and she wanted to continue explaining, but she didn't know how to explain what the emotions of living beings were to a planetary consciousness.
In the end, she had to give up and answer [yes...... Right? ]
Yan Wan replied hesitantly, it did not delve into it, but changed the topic very understandingly.
[Are you going to settle on me?] ]
[uh...... Just for a short period of time and I will leave again afterwards. Yan Wan denied it.
She felt that the topic of living was a little new and a little strange.
[Leave?] How are you going to leave? Can I go with you? It asked eagerly, and at this moment it suddenly had a very violent and noticeable mood swing.
[Do you want to leave with me?] Yan Wan is a little strange, they are just the first time they met, and they shouldn't have a deep friendship, right?
But she remembered what it had said before, and she was the first person it could talk to.
Could this be the case?
[Yes, didn't you say you were my companion?] Then we shouldn't be separated. ]
[What misunderstanding you may have about the meaning of companionship......] Yan Wan doesn't think that his companions should stay together all the time, [but I'll try to take you away.] ]
It happily said, "Great! Then he changed his tone and asked with some confusion [What exactly does that companion mean?] Can you explain it for me? ]
[A companion is a companion, but it doesn't mean that you will walk together forever, so you'd better be prepared for this.] ]
Yan Wan explained for him, and then admonished [No existence can last forever, and naturally there is no companion who will never be separated. ]
[But I've been around for a long time, and there's no sign of dying out, and I can still be here for a long time.] It lays down a straight story.
[I can accompany you until the last moment of your demise and annihilation as long as you wish, and then bury all that remains of you in my body.] ]
[In this way, I will be with you for the rest of my life.] ]
[Isn't this an eternal companion.] ]
