Lin Youde took a seat in the open-air café area of the coffee shop, raised his hand to summon the waiter to order, but the waiter pointed to his bracelet - the meaning is obvious, the human who can use the bracelet will help you to order food with the bracelet.

So Lin Youde connected to the coffee shop's system and ordered a few snacks and a cup of coffee that looked good.

【Can't I sit down and eat?】 】

[No, it's weird.] But we'll take your portion away. 】

Immediately afterwards, Lin Youde saw Noah nuns.

Lin Youde then began to observe the customers in the coffee shop, and several of the people sitting by the window in the store felt that they were folklorists—the idea was generated, and his brain grabbed information about the people from the information provided by Noah through appearance matching, a folklorist, two tourists who wanted to disguise themselves as folklorists, and a businessman who might have come to discuss business.

Then Lin Youde turned his gaze to the open-air café area, where several Docala people were looking at the masks of the Sethley natives, discussing something with great interest.

Before leaving, everyone in Lin Youde's group had loaded the Galactic Language Encyclopedia in the auxiliary unit, so he could directly understand the conversation of these aliens - in fact, with Noah, he didn't have to worry about not understanding the aliens, Noah's translation was much more accurate than the auxiliary system. Modern humans can quickly master the grammar and vocabulary of an alien language by direct loading, but it still takes a lot of practice to become proficient, especially conversational practice with someone who actually understands the language.

Most languages have a sense of language, and people who don't have a sense of language are prone to jokes even if they have a complete grasp of grammar and vocabulary. This is similar to the jokes made by translation software when machine translation was just emerging, such as translating the English Elder Scrolls into an old man's scroll bar or something.

Noah reminded Lin Youde that the team formed by Xia Yongzhi and Lily also stopped in front of a Tula souvenir shop owned by Tula people not far away.

Lin Youde glanced at Xia Yongzhi and found that the girl was also looking at him, and Lily was observing the surroundings.

[Is there anyone around you who is paying special attention to us?] 】

[I didn't find out.] 】

The way to send a message to an informant mentioned in the briefing was simple: first, Lin Youde had to wear a costume of the specified color - the one he was wearing now; Then Lin Youde wants to create a small commotion in this coffee shop. At the end of the commotion, he left a no-record credit certificate with 539 credits, and yelled "don't look for it".

Of course, the money given to the informant is more than that, it is just to tell the informant that he has come.

Xia Yongzhi's evaluation of this way of delivering information is very straightforward: too retro.

Lin Youde also thinks so, this informant must be a master who likes ancient human spy movies - in fact, the aliens who are willing to help mankind are basically human culture lovers. In galactic societies, the role of cultural influence is actually quite huge, and human food and other cultures have a large audience among certain races.

The Ilarai people have a relatively high popularity among most humanoid races, and they are also relatively easy to handle.

Races like the Jokka have a harder time expanding their culture, as they are very different from more than four-fifths of the members of the Galactic Council. The remaining fifth is actually very different from the Zouka. But the quintile races are all bizarre, and the common feature is that the parent planet is very different from the Earth.

In addition, even among the humanoid races, more than half of them are classified as "not like humans", and their cultures are very different from those of humans.

Lin Youde pondered how to create a way that would not cause the Joka people who managed the space station to be unhappy.

In fact, this should not be too difficult, because the people of Juka know that Freya is the "abandoned princess" of Ilalais, and Lin Youde and his party came to Sethley under the name of "Princess Freya wants to see novel culture, so she organized a capable force to accompany her". Although Freya is a princess in political refuge, the Iralai people gave the Jokka people a lot of skills back then to avoid Jokka being killed by the Tulers, so the Joka people will give Lin Youde a little face for the sake of Freya being an Ilarai people. The net is open on one side.

Because he didn't find a chance to find fault for the time being, Lin Youde turned to Freya, intending to chat with her to pass the time, after all, it looked too abnormal to sit here and not say anything.

Freya was staring with interest at the mask and musical instrument in Doraka's hand, completely oblivious to Lin Youde turning to her.

"By the time we're going down to the surface of Seysley, you'll get a full set of masks and musical instruments." As soon as Lin Youde spoke, Freya was taken aback.

She turned her head to look at Lin Youde, and was stunned for half a second before she reacted: "Ah, I know." I'm just curious, that mask must be for tourists, right? ”

"Nope. It means 'visitor' in Sesley culture, and the applique on the left side of the mask indicates that the wearer of the mask is in a good mood, and the combination above the mask indicates that the owner of the mask is about to eat. People are reminded not to disturb the owner of the mask, let alone try to peek at the owner's face when the owner lifts the mask slightly to eat. ”

There are three elements that make up a Sesley mask: the status of the wearer, the state of the wearer at this time, and the future state of the wearer.

One of the peculiarities of the culture of the planet Sethley is that they don't care what the facts are, they only emphasize their own point - human behaviorists describe the Sethley people as extremely idealistic, and that's basically true.

At Seysley, people never discuss what the facts are. Expressing their own opinions has led to their low productivity, but the Seysley ecosystem automatically produces the Sesleys' staple food: an earthworm-like bug, so the Seysley society never needs to worry about food and clothing when it is unproductive. At the same time, there are no larger, more powerful animals on the planet Sethley, so they don't need to worry about external threats.

No one knows how this strange situation came about, and there are many hypotheses related to it, such as the fact that there was a highly civilized society in the Sethley world, and as a result, there was a nuclear war, and the large creatures all knelt, and the Sesley people who hid in the shelter survived, and gradually evolved into the current situation.

But a hypothesis is a hypothesis, and no matter how perplexed the galactic behaviorists may be, the Sethleys are there, living on their blue-water planet, sustaining their amazing culture.

It is precisely because of the culture of the Sesli people that as long as outsiders wear masks. They can blend harmoniously into their society, and no one cares where this guy came from, or how the rest of his body is weird, and the Sethley people will only express their opinions on this strange shape. But it doesn't matter what the facts are, they will have a big debate and then what to do.

Because the Sethley language is a kind of music—yes, music—a great debate is also a great concert.

These characteristics make the planet Seysley quite well-known throughout the galaxy. Everyone likes to come here for tourism or cultural studies.

While Lin Youde explained this to Freya, the waiter finally came over with a plate full of things that Lin Youde ordered.

With slow movements, he placed the food and coffee cups on the table one by one.

Suddenly, a drop of sweat slipped from the waiter's chin and dripped at Lin Youde's feet.

Lin Youde quietly looked at the waiter with Noah's ability and found that his slightly fat face was sweating a little.

Noah noticing this, Noah reminded: "I found a person watching us, and the pola man wearing a helmet and a respirator was watching us. 】

Lin Youde didn't use his eyes to confirm, he had watched too many old spy movies, and the old spy would always remind rookies to "don't look back" and "don't look at me". The gaze can often reveal a lot.

The waiter finished setting things and left silently.

[Check how many people in the vicinity have weapons.] Lin Youde gave an order.

[The Bora had it, the waiter had it, and then only the Juka patrol guard and we had it. 】

Lin Youde calmly picked up the coffee cup, he was not worried about someone poisoning, now the poison did not pose any threat to humans who were actually carbon-silicon hybrid creatures.

Before he could drink it, Freya picked up the small biscuit on the table.

Lin Youde directly reached out and grabbed the biscuit that Freya took and threw it into his mouth, and then grimaced at Freya who was surprised, pretending to be flirting with Freya.

Freya patted Lin Youde's chest a few times very cooperatively, and said a few words of coquettishness. Then he picked up the biscuit again - by this time Noah had already made sure that all the food was safe.

Xia Yongzhi's communication came: "What's the matter, there is a problem with the cookies?" ”

"No, just in case, you guys found a problem too?"

"I'm sure someone is paying attention to me. Lily hasn't reacted yet. ”

"You may have gained some psychic abilities while training with me in the Mental Image World, normal."

"What should I do?" Xia Yongzhi did not comment on Lin Youde's speculation, but directly asked about the current handling method.

Lily Belle's communication also came at this time: "What are you doing, why didn't you cause a commotion when the waiter was around just now?" ”

"That's not right." Lin Youde next listed the anomalies detected here to Lily.

“…… Uh, there's such a thing? It can't be your delusion, right? ”

"Don't doubt the old soldier's instincts." Lin Youde can only say this.

Freya finally realizes that something is wrong.

"I feel a strange atmosphere," Freya leaned close to Lin Youde. He also took a biscuit and pretended to feed him, "I am an eighth-level spiritual energy, if I have a bad feeling, then something really bad is going to happen, I can feel ......"

Lin Youde put his arm around Freya's shoulders, pretended to kiss her cheek, and whispered in her ear: "I've found out the problem, you take a shield, if there is something, you don't care about me, and retreat directly to Xia Yongzhi's side." ”

As he spoke, he informed Xia Yongzhi and Lily Belle: "If there is something, Freya will run directly to you, get ready." Pretend that the princess is attacking us and we are defending. ”

At this time, through Noah's perception, Lin Youde noticed that the third hand of the Bora people was shooting under the table, but the target was not Lin Youde and them.

There were no gunshots.

The waiter was shot in the head, and a slow-moving dummmy bullet - the most effective way to actually kill the humans who lived in symbiosis with the nanomachines.

Lin Youde looked at the scene of the waiter's head blooming in surprise, and Freya's scream was dragged into a long sound in her consciousness, which felt very strange.
