Suspicious, the man with the bow and arrow on his back lit the "fuel rod" given by the ancestor and groped into the interior of the wreckage of the starship.

The silver disc in his hand cast a pale blue glow forward.

The tiny particles of light converged in the air into an arrow-shaped icon, guiding him forward.

At the same time, Jiang Xuezhou, who was sitting on the bridge of the Orion missile cruiser, was munching on compressed biscuits while remotely commanding the indigenous boy.

The whole process is like playing an RPG from a first-person perspective.

If Night Ten was here, he would definitely complain like this.

Not even just in the first person, when necessary, she can make the "drone" in the young man's hand fly to the back and switch to a third-person perspective.

Just when Jiang Xuezhou was having fun, the shipboard server suddenly received a message and presented it on the holographic screen in front of her in the form of a pop-up window.

[Investigation Report on the "Tree of Insov", the Forester Tribe, and the "Psychic Abilities" unique to the locals]

Jiang Xuezhou's eyes lit up when he saw this line of pop-ups, coughed lightly, and said to the communication channel.

"I'm out of power - I mean, I'm running out of mana, you explore on your own for a while. When you come out of the ruins to rest, remember to mark the areas you have explored and place the silver metal discs in the sun. ”

Qiu Ling: "? ”

Jiang Xuezhou, who threw down a sentence, didn't wait for the reply of the indigenous guy who was exploring in the ruins, and immediately couldn't wait to open the investigation report uploaded by Night Ten.

In the report, Night Ten details the interpretation of the "Tree of Insov" by the Priests of the Temple of the Doma tribe and a series of events that occurred during the "Age of the Barbarian" and the "Age of Awakening".

[The locals have for some reason forgotten the words and history of the Renlian era. My assumption is that most of the people who survived the war were children who were not fully developed, even babies who had just been born. Gaia, or the Tree of Insov, changed the genes of these children, giving them the ability to photosynthesize under specific circumstances, so that they were able to survive the aftermath of that war. However, due to the lack of parents, the inheritance of civilization and knowledge has been disconnected. 】

[However, on the contrary, the genetic modification gave some of the surviving newborns the special ability of "telepathy", hereinafter referred to as "psionic energy".] 】

Through this special ability, they are able to communicate directly telepathically with each other, with other beings in nature, with the Tree of Insov, and even with the past and the future. 】

[This special ability accelerates the civilization process of the locals to a certain extent, even if the locals are not aware of the existence of this special ability.] Catalyzed by "psionic energy", they soon invented new languages and formed large tribal communities under the cohesion of new languages and cultures. 】

[Time has come to the Age of Awakening, with the landing of the surviving crew of the Twin missile cruisers as a watershed, the local survivors with the assistance of seventeen Twin crew members have thoroughly comprehended the talent of "psionic energy", and truly recognized the existence of the "Tree of Insov", and will use dimensional theory to understand it as a higher dimensional existence. 】

[With the help of the "Tree of Insov", the locals reacquainted themselves with the forgotten history, and summarized the memories of the past as the Age of Savagery, calling the memories after "realizing the existence of the Self and Him" the Age of Awakening until the Second Judgment Day.] 】

[On the issue of the "Insov Tree", the crew of the Twin was divided. Some of them left the forest with the "sinners" who were suspected of not being able to sense the Tree of Insof, while the rest remained in the Valley of the Forbidden Forest with the survivors of the Tree of Insof, resting under the branches of the original sacred tree, the Tree of Insof. 】

[The exact reason for the disagreement between the crew of the Twin is not clearly recorded on the frescoes of the temple.] The history that the temple maids were able to "see" through the temple frescoes does not seem to include this part. 】

[According to her, the basis of "psionic" sensing must be based on mutual recognition, and the information that can be exchanged must also be a concept of common understanding. My understanding is...... This psionic energy is like a teleprompter in each other's hands, so when this connection is made between the past and the present, the present is able to convey more information about the past, but has a relatively less impact on the future. In the past, less information could be received from the present, but choices based on known information had a greater impact on the future. 】

[This is very similar to what we encountered in the "Hyperspace Passage", but not identical.] 】

[However, while there is little hope of establishing a "psionic channel" with the crew of the Twins, I can still make a rough guess based on limited information that their quarrel may have something to do with whether or not to continue to assist the natives in awakening and whether to return to the solar system on the Twins.] The dispute ended with the twin missile cruisers crashing into the atmosphere, forcing the Foresters to leave the Forbidden Forest Valley, giving up their ancestral sacred land to the present-day Valley Valleyers. 】

"I see...... No wonder the foresters call the valley people sinners, and the valley people call the former 'renegades'. From the beginning to the end of the report, the corners of Jiang Xuezhou's mouth curled up with an approving smile.

Especially the word "report", which fiercely satisfied the desire for conquest in her heart, and even her anger disappeared a lot.

"Uh-huh, yes, yes, it seems that this guy is not just staring at the fat meat, but is still working hard."

Back to the report itself.

This renegade should refer to betraying the People's Union?

Although the term "Renlian" has been replaced by "ancestor" in the culture of the "Qiu people", just as the concept of "dimension" has been replaced by "higher beings" in the culture of the foresters, the hatred between the two has been passed down from generation to generation.

To this day, the Forbidden Forest Valley remains a sacred place for the hearts of the foresters and a shame of the past.

I have to say that it was indeed a very bad idea for Night Ten to provoke this war without knowing anything.

And this little clever will put himself in if he can't do it.

The Ancestral Palace destroyed the Sacred Tree of the Foresters, and while the Foresters still revere the Ancestors, they clearly revere the "Tree of Insov".

If there was a conflict between the two, or if there were other factors such as territory, worldly fame, and possessions, she could have guessed that the foresters would not hesitate to side with the "Tree of Insov".

"Even if the Qiu people return the 'holy relics', the foresters probably won't stop there...... At that time, the guy couldn't get over his conscience and wanted to step on the brakes again, and he was afraid that both sides would not please him. ”

Although Ye Shi complained about her "Virgin" more than once, she could actually feel that the guy was not really cold-blooded, but only occasionally a little self-pretending to be clever and reckless.

This war was really going to be fought, and when he saw the sight of corpses strewn across the field, and thought that these people were actually descendants of humans, he was afraid that he would begin to regret it again.

This kind of shouting for the same thing for a while and shouting for a while and shouting for a while that it is too cruel, one moment shouting that it is too weak and then shouting that it is too cruel is actually a manifestation of immaturity, and it will pay a price.

Of course, she didn't want to say how mature she was.

Especially when it comes to frank expression......

"Psionic power...... Sounds like a handy ability, if only I had a way to awaken that special ability. ”

Jiang Xuezhou, who was leaning on the office chair, sighed leisurely and pointed his index finger on the holographic screen.

"Forget it...... Let's remind this guy. ”

For his sake......

Just when Jiang Xuezhou was thinking like this in his heart, a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared in the window.

Looking at the pop-up window on the holographic screen, Jiang Xuezhou's face changed instantly, and the whole person bounced up from the chair as if reflexively.

"Lost connection?!"

What's the situation?!

……

On the official website forum of "Wasteland OL", a discussion post about the world five light years away is hanging at the top of the hot search, and the title of the post is the one Jiang Xuezhou saw on the shipboard server-

[Investigation Report on the "Tree of Insov", the Forester Tribe, and the "Psychic Abilities" unique to the locals]

Quit smoking: ", psionics?!" ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "The heart is better than the object!! (screams)"

Elf King Fugui: "Fast forward to the end of reincarnation." (Funny)"

Irena: "Fifty years of life, right, I signed for the Alliance." (Funny)"

Edge paddling: "Grass, your stalks are getting harder and harder to understand. (frightened)"

It's not just that the fringe guy didn't understand it, but Ye Shi didn't understand it this time, probably because he didn't awaken the psionic ability and didn't establish a "psionic channel" with these dogs.

However, looking at the enthusiastic replies of the line, his original anxious mood was diluted a lot.

Fang Chang's guess was the same as him, he might have fallen for a trick similar to hypnosis.

That's not a particularly outrageous ability, but it's just a hypnotic effect through psychological suggestion.

Not to mention the addition of "psionic energy" in the game, even if there is no "psionic energy" in reality, there is a similar situation.

Fang Chang: "...... According to your description, those little green men can understand some of the human languages and even Chinese you speak through psionics, and they can also apply hypnotic psychological cues to you based on similar principles. ”

Night Ten: "Can you even do hypnosis?" (wry smile)"

Fang Chang: "At least the telepathic interference device is possible, I always feel that psionic energy is something similar, and I think it should be possible to do it." ”

The mole from the canyon: "By the way, I remember that the psychic interference device had little effect on mentally active creatures?" ”

Hurricane: "I think the specific explanation should be that the higher the level of mind, the less affected it is, and the more specific the information received. ”

Debt big eyes: "Good guy, you guys are secretly ten brothers in the dark again." (Manual Funny)"

Night Ten: "?? ”

Fang Chang: "Similar doesn't mean exactly the same, after all, the signal emitted by the telepathic interference device is mechanically simulated, and there should be a difference between it and the real "psionic" talent. I'm more inclined to think that your vigilance is too low, and that those natives have taken advantage of it, so don't take it too seriously. (smiles)"

Night Ten: "Get out!" ”

Looking at these guys who couldn't spit out ivory in their mouths, Ye Wei couldn't wait to roll his eyes to the sky.

At this moment, the corner of his eye fell on the helmet he had set aside, and he took a deep breath and finally picked it up.

It's been five or six hours since he's disconnected, and if it's hypnotism, he should wake up.

Let's try again......

Thinking so, he put the helmet on his head for the Nth time, and then stretched his consciousness to the dark realm that could not see through the light, trying to pass through the darkness.

It's a "trick" he's discovered during countless attempts to get online.

When the body in the game falls into a coma but is not completely dead, while wearing the game helmet and trying to spread his consciousness to the surrounding darkness, you can vaguely perceive the situation of the character in the game.

Now, for example, he felt a warm touch coming from the back of his head.

The warmth became clearer and clearer, and the seal of [Abnormal Connection] seemed to show a hint of loosening.

Night Ten was overjoyed, so he imagined himself as a little tadpole, struggling to swim towards the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.

At this moment, a light finally appeared in front of his eyes, and it was getting brighter and brighter!

The next moment he snapped his eyes open and woke up from his slumber.

At the same time, two fruitful fruits jumped into his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

A gentle voice came from overhead.

Dora kneeled slightly, a quiet smile emerging from the fertile peaks.

Through the glimmer of light from the fireflies, Yashi saw the gentle and beautiful face.

The back of his head seemed to be resting on her lap.

Ye Shi, who realized this, did not have half a ripple in his heart, and he had no time to appreciate the quiet smile, but blurted out a sentence of "" with a wild change in his face.

These natives—

Stealing his power armor?!

For him at this moment, there is nothing more terrifying.

Dora tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't fully understand the complex meaning of the phrase "", but she understood what the shock in his eyes was.

"Chief, lift your armor, he wants you to stay here...... Until it's all over. ”

She paused for a moment and continued in a non-standard human language.

"The city of Doma has no offense, we ...... When it is all over, I will return the heavenly things with both hands, and apologize to you, and ...... Indemnify you. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Night Ten had already bounced off her knees and stood on the ground with her feet.

The temple is still the same as the original.

But there was a table and two chairs on the floor, and a bed made of vines.

"How do you know how to undo the power armor?"

Looking at the vigilant Ancestor, Dora still maintained a kneeling posture and said in a gentle voice.

"You...... Tell us. ”

What did I tell you?

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, the "you" here should refer to the "ancestor"!

They were able to connect with the "Progenitors" of the past, some or someone from the 17 crew members!

Thinking of what happened in the hyperspace channel, Night Ten immediately realized what had happened.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed a sharp stone and stepped forward to press it against Dora's neck, threatening in a cold voice.

"Get me out of here!"

Looking at the murderous Night Ten, Dora didn't speak, just closed her eyes quietly.

The leader asked her to fulfill all his demands, which naturally included letting her die.

She will not complain.

Looking at this picture of killing with his neck, Ye Shi suddenly lost his temper.

What's the use of killing her?

This guy is just a maid.

Don't say that you won't care, I don't know if I will send another maid over for him to vent.

It is a stupid thing to talk about human rights in primitive tribes, and the difference between people and objects here is only to be able to speak.

As for those who have spiritual powers, they are only a bit more expensive.

At this moment, Ye Shi gritted his teeth for a while as if he had punched cotton, and finally slammed the stone in his hand on the wall of the temple.

The whiskered wall made a dull "thump", but it didn't leave a trace.

There is no metal nearby.

If he had, he might have been able to smash the wall to pieces.

Of course, he doesn't have to do this alone.

In addition to the electromagnetic cannon, he can also directly discharge the broken tree to give a wave of electrotherapy.

However, it is somewhat whimsical to expect to use this electricity to carbonize a sacred tree as tall as a skyscraper.

There's no way people out there can wait.

Even if the natives don't necessarily understand what electricity is, after knowing that it was him who did it, they will probably use the old way to make him sleep again, and if they don't know, they will give him a non-stop spell.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for death to come, Dora slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sulking "ancestor" alone.

A hint of distress rose on her gentle face, and she said in a very soft voice.

"You are a ...... Gentle, you can't bear to kill me, even if you can. ”

Ye Shi glanced at her, sneered self-deprecatingly, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Is this what good people don't have to pay for......"

All right.

In fact, he can't be considered a good person, maybe it would be more accurate to repay good and evil.

Dora looked at him intently and continued in a soft voice.

"Why, you are unwilling to obey the orders of your leader...... We're not going to hurt you, we're going to help you. ”

"Help me?" Ye Shi snorted and asked sarcastically, "That's how you helped me?" ”

Dora nodded softly and continued softly.

"The tribes of the forest are gathering, and we will soon unite again to take the heavenly relics from the hands of sinners and return them to you. Our chief also said, let me meet all your requirements...... You can do anything to me except leave from here. ”

Looking at that well-behaved and moving face, Ye Shi replied coldly.

"I'm not interested in ......"

And he couldn't do much.

Bah.

Even if he did, he wouldn't do it.

Unlike the debt-ridden eye, he is a disciplined man, and always has been.

Looking at the indifferent Night Ten, Dora didn't do much reluctance, just waited there quietly.

Minutes and seconds passed.

And as time passed, Ye Shi's heart became more and more anxious.

The most troublesome thing now was that he didn't know what was going on outside, maybe the mobilization for war was underway, or maybe the war between the foresters and the valley people had already begun.

He has been lying here for so long, and he doesn't know what the situation is on Jiang Xuezhou's side.

He was actually more worried about her, especially worried that she would do something irrational.

What to do?

Ye Shi's head spun quickly, and countless thoughts had flashed through his mind in just a few minutes.

Looking at the ancestor pacing back and forth in front of the temple mural, Dora suddenly spoke again in a gentle voice.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

I didn't think this guy could help at all, and Yashi threw down a sentence impatiently.

"What can you do for me?"

Dora said respectfully.

"Anything goes."

Yashi sneered.

"Let me out?"

Dora said softly.

"Except for this."

Yashi pursed his lips.

"Then you can go to the Forbidden Forest Valley for me."

He just said this casually, and didn't really think about letting this guy go there.

Besides, what's the use of going?

Can a maid of a temple reconcile the two tribes for herself?

Not to mention that he himself may not have this ability.

However, to Yashi's surprise, Dora nodded lightly and stood up from the ground.

"If it's for you, I'd go there."

Ye Shi was stunned.

He turned his head to look at Dora, his eyes staring straight at those crystal clear eyes, and it took a long time to squeeze a sentence out of his mouth.

"Are you serious?"

Dora nodded again and said in a gentle voice.

"You can't get out, the outside is full of the chief's people, he can send you back with just a finger move, even if I am willing to help you out, you can't get out of this temple......"

After a pause, she looked into Ye Shi's eyes and continued in a sincere tone.

"But I can get out from here...... The Lord has commanded me to meet all your requirements, and I will do anything for you. ”

There was a hint of cunning in that sincere voice.

Apparently, she realized that she might have betrayed the leader's intentions by doing so.

But Dora believed that the Ancestor standing in front of her was a kind man.

Moreover, she believed it from the first time she saw him.

Even if not everything he says is true.

"I can sense that you mean something, that you really want to help us get through this and treat us like your children...... Just like at the beginning of the Age of Awakening. ”

"We ...... Actually, it's all the same. ”

Ye Shi looked at the quiet and pious face in a daze, and suddenly remembered what Jiang Xuezhou had said to him before-

They can read beyond the language!

Or even something that words can't express......

In a sense, "psionic energy" is really a convenient ability.

The bridge between hearts and minds greatly reduces the cost of trust between them within their community.

If you had to find a counter-example, Borneo would probably be one, and the cohesion that people there actually have and the cohesion that they imagine will always be one plus or minus.

As for the positive examples, Boulder is about half there, and that's already a unique wonder in the wasteland.

And this kind of cohesion that has reached an unbelievable level, even the alliance has never had.

Perhaps a similar situation can only be found by narrowing down the "value range" of the collection to players who have completed the Starter Quest......

Night Ten was full of emotion in his heart.

Looking at that serious face, he finally made up his mind and decided to entrust his hope to her.

In fact, this is also a matter of course.

Just as the crew of the Orion put control of the starship in his hands-

Although the misfortune was caused by him, it was still the fate of the locals themselves.

"I need you to help me do something......"

"For the survivors who live in the forest, but also for the survivors who live in the valley......

"And all the creatures of this land!"
