Chapter Ninety-Seven: Prometheus

Mark was greeted by a group of orbular creatures, a group of balls of various colors, some black, some white, floating in mid-air, and when they got closer, Mark realized that these orbs were not their largest part, and there were a large number of long, translucent tentacles around the spheres.

It's really a very strange form of life, the aliens that humans imagined before are always based on the existing life, no matter how wild the imagination is in those movies and comics, aliens always have two hands and two feet, whether they have a big eye or a full head of eyes, anyway, they have eyes, human beings are very able to imagine things they have never seen, so they will still exaggerate the things around them when creating.

And the creature in front of him, they have neither eyes nor limbs, and even those flying tentacles are different from those of an octopus, like an illusory projection, Mark has never imagined such a strange creature, but he doesn't know why, he is not disgusted or afraid of this creature in his heart, but has an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"I am the representative who has come to negotiate peace with you." The creature with the lead had a hazel core, and he stretched out a tentacle to hang in front of Mark and said, "I'm learning your etiquette, but I don't know much yet, I hope you can understand." ”

"I'd love to know more about you, too." Mark trembled and shook his "hand", the tentacles of the strange creature did not feel physical in his hand, Mark did not know how to describe the feeling, as if he was pinching a cloud of elastic air.

"Isn't the place of the peace talks on that stellar energy collector?" Qin Yi interjected vigilantly.

"Yes, but I'll meet you in advance first, after all, knowing more about it is also good for peace talks, isn't it?" The voice of the brown core creature was elegant and quiet, and it sounded slightly magnetic, and Mark didn't see what he was using to make a sound, perhaps like a lighthouse, and he was using some method to directly stimulate people's sensory nerves.

"I am the representative of the human side in the peace talks, the new chief executive of the Moon's temporary ** - Mark." Mark introduced himself straight to the point.

"My name is Shuer." The creature with the brown core happily waved its gravitational tentacles and said, "I have studied your culture roughly, and there is a character that is very appropriate to me, and you can call me by his first name, Prometheus." ”

"......" Mark didn't know what to answer, there was an inexplicable friendliness in the alien's tone, but he kept reminding himself that he should always be wary of the other party, even if he went to the negotiating table, the two sides were still enemies, and if he didn't do it, he would have to meet again on the battlefield.

"You haven't figured out what I mean, it's normal, let's talk as we go." Shure turned and led them onto a flying platform, the parapet next to it quickly rising, leading them through the massive hangar into the ship.

"Isn't it the first time you've seen us, and you've enlightened our civilization?" Mark was surprised by what he said, and suddenly thought of this possibility......

"Yes, the first time I met you...... Using your stellar timekeeping method was 250,000 years ago, and I didn't mean to enlighten you, which is not legal in the Alliance, but I left your ancestors a gift at that time, a small gravitational field lamp, but I didn't expect that the special semaphores produced after its lifespan was exhausted and self-dissolved stimulated your brains. "Shul also only learned about this not long ago, when accepting the human language translation database, the alliance also secretly scanned human samples on the earth, and Shul was surprised to find a genetic mutation point about the cerebral cortex, which is a special brain region about the cognitive revolution.

"You lived 250,000 years?" Mark exclaimed in disbelief that he was now talking to an ancient creature from the age of Homo sapiens.

"We gravitational creatures have a long lifespan, so don't be surprised." Shure smiled and said, "I thought you would be more interested in the matter of the origin of civilization. ”

“…… In fact, the theory of alien enlightenment has always existed, because of the lack of fossil samples, many people have begun to question the credibility of the theory of evolution, and I have always believed that human evolution is related to aliens. Mark said.

"You don't believe me." Shuer easily saw through the other party's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't believe that there is such a coincidence, after all, the universe is so big, but I want to tell you, this is not a coincidence, this is what will happen, I was the one who went to the earth to investigate the 'egg', and I also met your ancestors because of this, and it is precisely because of this that I was appointed to negotiate peace with you." ”

Not only Mark, but everyone present fell into silence, the amount of information in the other party's words was too much, they couldn't fully accept it for a while, Shul was not in a hurry, while introducing the facilities inside the spaceship, he continued to fly forward, and soon they came to a huge area like a garden, with many exquisite landscapes arranged on the endless meadow, a row of white cabins standing neatly under the hillside, and a scene of blue sky and white clouds created by projection above.

People who have long been accustomed to steel and space can't help but cry out when they see such a scene, and their eyes can't hide the color of surprise, Shul is very satisfied with this, waving his tentacles and introducing that this is a residence specially built for them, they can settle here temporarily, maybe they want to stay for a while no problem, the gravitational force here is set to be the same as the earth, the environment is also arranged according to human preferences, the river water flowing down from the mountain is purified, and it can be drunk directly, It's just that the diet is still modified according to the diet of carbon-based creatures in the alliance, I don't know if they will like it, if there is any need, you can say it directly.

"We just want to negotiate sooner rather than later." Mark did not soften his heart because of the sugar-coated cannonball in front of him, and said firmly: "The earth is still in danger, and I can't rest at ease for a moment, let alone enjoy life." ”

"Don't worry...... As I said, it is a good thing for both of us to get to know each other before the peace talks. Shuer said in a very soft voice: "I already know you very well, after all, I watched you grow up, we scanned the species samples and library materials on the earth, and I am now an expert on half the earth...... It's not that I'm bragging, but for an old immortal who has lived for millions of years, you remember your thousands of years of history very well...... But you don't know much about us. ”

"Then I'm sorry for you to introduce us to, first of all, what exactly is the Alliance? What do you mean by dusk? Mark hit the nail on the head and asked the most crucial question.

"Next, what I'm going to tell you about the alliance is all about."
