There is a saying in China that there is always only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although the alien's name is translated from the human language, it is enough to prove some of his qualities, such as his abilities.

Thinking of this, Alice glanced thoughtfully at the silver surfboard at the alien's feet. At first, she thought it was just an alien vehicle, a harmless plaything. But now, it seems, the situation is not as simple as she thought.

This surfboard must have played a big role, and maybe even the cornerstone of this alien's survival. If they can get their hands on it, maybe their situation will become more favorable. It's just that as soon as she thinks of the light mask that is invulnerable to water and fire, oil and salt do not enter, Alice can only give up this tempting idea for the time being.

She forced herself to look away from the surfboard and continued to ask the silver surfer.

"Where are you from, and what is your purpose?"

Now that his mouth has been opened, there is no need for the silver surfer to remain silent on this issue. So after waiting for a while, Alice and the others got the answer they wanted.

"I'm from the outer galaxy, a planet called Zenn-La, and I'm an astronomer on that planet. As for the purpose of my coming here, you can think of it as work. ”

"You're lying!" As soon as the silver surfer said such a thing, Roddy immediately and unceremoniously accused. "I know a little bit about who you are, Silver Surfer. You're with that guy called the Devourer of Planets. You have done countless evil deeds in the universe. With such an identity, you actually say that you are an astronomer, are you challenging our bottom line? ”

Roddy didn't know much about the identity of the Silver Surfer, and even a lot of the information was conceived out of thin air by a few words from the Sandal people. These were unfounded speculations, but they didn't prevent him from bringing such things out in the slightest. As a blackface character, it is actually his job to deceive people with words. And he's obviously good at that.

Being able to speak human language is one thing, but understanding human language and culture is another. Silver surfers have learned to communicate with humans in human language though. But that doesn't mean he understands the human art of maneuvering and coaxing people to tell the truth. Therefore, after Roddy's vicious words, he immediately retorted calmly.

"I don't have the need to lie to you on this issue. I am indeed an astronomer on the planet Zenn-La, but I am also in the service of the great Devourer of Planets. ”

"Serve him? What does that mean? ”

Alice opened her mouth on the question. Although he had heard a few things about the Planet Eater from the Xanders, the kind of thing that was just a few words certainly couldn't compare to the more detailed information in the mouths of the people involved. Hearing her question, the silver surfer paused for a moment before answering honestly.

"I am looking for the great Devourer of Planets for the target he needs, his food. That's what I'm here for. ”

"Target, food?" Hearing this adjective, Alice couldn't help but frown at once. "Please be more detailed! Silver Surfer. ”

"Quite simply, human lady. The great Devourer of Planets needs a planet for food. And I am his servant, his messenger. All I have to do is find food in the universe that is delicious enough for him, and then invite him. So that he can come and enjoy this delicious meal. It's like your chef inviting a foodie to taste the food he makes. ”

Explaining in calm words something horrific at the first thought of it, the Silver Surfer has made it abundantly clear that he is different from a human being. He is emotionless, cold and regular, like a cold robot.

And it was this indifferent expression that immediately touched Alice's heart.

The Xanders once warned humanity that the Planet Devourers had destroyed more than one planet, thousands of civilizations. This vague statement has led many, including Alice, to believe that this is an invasion from powerful aliens, a savage conquest of one civilization over another. But now it seems that the situation is not what they imagined. The Silver Surfer's expression is more like a description of a slaughterhouse, a feast where the planet is a delicious turkey.

The conquest of civilization by civilization is well documented in the history of mankind. This is also an inevitable path for the development of civilization. If it were necessary, even as the target party, Alice would not have the same indignation as she is now.

But now, in her opinion, this kind of thing has completely evolved into the destruction and destruction of countless living beings for the greed of a monster. This behavior immediately reminded her of everything she had experienced, so naturally, the sense of justice in her heart began to explode.

"In your opinion, is the planet you look at just food? Are you recklessly searching for a planet like ours in the universe just to satisfy the appetite of a monster? It's disgusting. ”

"Lady of Humanity, watch your words." Picking at the corner of his eye, which was not clear, the silver surfer accentuated his tone. "You're talking about one of the greatest beings in the universe, and as a lower being, you need to maintain the most basic awe."

“****！” Viciously scolded, Alice added a few very insulting words in disgust. "I don't have any awe of a disgusting monster, he only has disgust, disgust for him. And, of course, you. You guys are disgusting. I can't believe that there are still people who think of the destruction of other species as a noble thing, aren't you afraid of retribution? ”

"Your idea is interesting, human lady."

Despite being pointed at the nose, the insults went to this extent. But the silver surfer still looked very calm. He explained as if he were stating an academic issue.

"I have studied your human civilization. Isn't the development of your own civilization also based on the destruction of other species? According to my research, human beings have destroyed hundreds of species living on the same planet as themselves in just a few hundred years in order to satisfy themselves. Such behaviour is not the exception, but is intensified in an incremental manner. Even today, when I speak to you again, you are still carrying out this kind of destruction of life. Your natural concreteness is terrible, aggressive, destructive. If you go by the way you put it, you are not a noble being yourself. So I'm curious, what prompted you to make this assessment of me and my master? ”

This is not the first time that the history of human development has been criticized. But it was the first time that an alien had been so criticized. So in an instant, Alice had a dumb feeling. Still, she shook her head quickly and forcefully excused herself.

"It's different, we have to make this choice for the sake of the development of our own civilization. And you guys are just trying to satisfy your own **, how can this be the same? ”

"If that's what you think, then all I can say is that your mind is too superficial and ridiculous, this human lady."

The tone was still flat, but the silver surfer's eyes brightened. It makes him look unusually wise. Of course, in terms of the identity of an alien who can cross the universe, such a performance is in line with his identity.

"Do you think that the great devourers of planets really devoured planets indiscriminately to satisfy their appetites?"

"Isn't it?" As soon as Alice asked a rhetorical question, she was immediately met with a rebuttal from the silver surfer.

"Of course not, if that's all there is to it. The Devourer of Planets can capture a small sun with its own power and get endless energy from it to satisfy itself. There is a greater reason why He chose the planets as His goal, and for whom we serve. ”

At this point, he continued to explain without waiting for Alice and the others to ask.

"In this vast universe, countless lifeforms, like you humans, have been given the opportunity to evolve and the possibility of stepping out of their own planet. However, the universe is not infinite, and neither are the resources. For other beings living in this universe, the birth of a new civilization obviously requires some consideration to determine whether it can meet the most basic criteria. And this criterion is that it is a threat to the entire universe and other creatures in the universe. ”

"And the great Devourer of Planets is the one who enforces this standard. The purpose of his activities in this vast universe is only one, that is, to screen out the possible threatening civilization of the universe and erase this civilization. ”

"Admittedly, I don't deny that planet-eaters need to devour planets to satisfy their thirst for energy. However, this purpose is what he intended. And everything he does is for the order of the universe itself. Humanity, you and the planet you own have been identified as a threatening target. Your existence can be called cancerous to the entire universe. And just like using medical means to remove cancer cells from your body, erasing you, your planet, and your civilization together is the most suitable choice for the entire universe.
