It hurts to touch me [Interstellar]

"...The hunting ground has its own internal network, and the current manager of the hotel is 'Manager Jie', who rarely appears," Xia Zuo briskly walked beside Li Ou, "He? Randomly lives in a certain room in the hotel Here, he stares at the monitor all day long, and only shows up when something big happens, but everyone here has received his message, like a netizen.”

Xia Zuo sighed, "Manager Jie is really the nerdiest person I've ever met."

Even Saoirse said thoughtfully, "Really."

Li Ou: "..."

On the top floor, the moment you step out of the landing pad, the surrounding walls suddenly lose the cover, and there are completely transparent huge portholes in all directions, bringing a strong sense of suspension.

Outside the window are the densely packed starships moored. Surrounded by them, the starship lobby on the top floor of the Lauren Hotel seems to be floating in the center of the stardust galaxy.

The light in the hall is very "soft" to the point of dimness, but it is completely opposite to the deep and grand scene outside. The hall is noisy, and the whole space is very lively with people coming and going.

The tumbling three-dimensional image occupies the center of the hall, and next to each group of tables and chairs near the portholes, there are people exuding the same atmosphere—one group after another, and neon-like spirits interspersed with quiet or active During this period, Li Ou hardly saw a single ethnic group or leader.

"The restaurant at the Lauren Hotel is the best in the hunting grounds," Xia Zuo whispered, "Come here a few more times when it's free, and you won't lose money."

When Li Ou saw his expression of reticence, he knew that the restaurant must be very bad.

"It's a pity that Xia Zuo didn't know, your appetite has been spoiled by mashed potatoes." Saoirse said.

Li Ou: "..."

His thoughts quickly skipped over the topic that made him unrequited, and the two of them had already arrived at the three-dimensional image.

Along the way, many malicious eyes fell on Li Ou, and I don't know if this is the treatment given to new talents.

Leo raised his head and looked at the three-dimensional image that occupied a large space. He thought it was very important information, but at first glance, it turned out to be a meaningless space scene and a rotating star map.

So he turned his eyes away from the vast space and looked at the dazzling star field map. Unexpectedly, Li Ou was stunned when he took a closer look.

That should be the hunting ground and the surrounding miniature star field, but what shocked Li Ou was the left center of this star field, where there was a dark and solidified existence.

"Ding-dong-"

A notification sound suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone looked at the stereoscopic image as if the pause button was pressed.

Saoirse whispered in Leo's ear, "It's coming."

The moment her words fell, Li Ou's eyes blurred, and something swam up against his nose.

A huge and frightening thing occupies the entire image in the blink of an eye, and everyone can only see a small piece of gelatinous, chaotic inner skin. Because the distance is too close, even Xia Zuo who is beside him can't help but take a step back .

There were whistling sounds around, and Li Ou heard someone whisper: "It's really not small."

Suddenly, the lower end of the huge body suddenly shrunk, becoming thin and long.

Compared with the part that he swam up just now, this soft "hind limb" was slightly deformed, and immediately the space in front of him became empty again.

A red light flashed above the head, and a row of coordinates appeared above the stereoscopic image.

The next few seconds were the quietest time in the entire hall. Most people were immersed in the operation of the terminal, as if they were recording or sending messages. After a few short breaths, there was a bang, The voice was like an explosion, and everyone quickly stood up and rushed to the landing pad.

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few scattered people left in the hall, Xia Zuo let out a long breath, and said, "Li... Maiou, you are so lucky... to be able to meet the opening right now."

"Opening?"

"Well, I only came to understand it slowly." Xia Zuo first looked at the time, and then said: "It is said that the universe hunting ground has been used for many years, and it took several generations to install it in the surrounding star fields. ??The curved dimension detection device, which is barely enough, is used to detect the thing that just passed by."

Li Ou was thoughtful, Xia Zuo smiled and said: "Star beasts - there are minors in the league's textbooks, but everyone thinks they are just legends, but here, they are not only not legends, but also the biggest hunting grounds. The source of income, of course, is also the source of income for everyone, but not everyone can catch them themselves."

If seeing the star field map before was just a guess, Li Ou couldn't help but take a deep breath when he recalled the blurry and faintly transparent creature that swam past, already feeling a headache.

"Star beasts" are not real creatures. To be more precise - star beasts are not "material" creatures. They are closer to The existence of the spiritual body.They don't eat or drink, never socialize with each other, like shadows without thoughts, they just wander aimlessly.

Scholars who chase star beasts are now called pseudo-scientists. As a result, at the edge of human civilization, there is such a place to "capture" star beasts. For the time being, Li Ou can't imagine how to capture them? In order to turn star beasts into a source of income, is it possible to lock up star beasts for exhibition now?

In addition, in fact, what Li Ou cares about is not the star beast that just passed, but the black hole-like gap on the star map.

Originally it was just a pure guess, but the existence of the star beast made Li Ou's guess real.

Because even though the scholars who study star beasts have different opinions, they only have one concept that is unified, that is, star beasts almost only appear around the Harissa space.

The Harissa space is the most mysterious place in the universe. Not to mention the erratic whereabouts of the star beast? The Harissa space is even more erratic. So far, no Harissa space has been identified. It is rumored that it jumps between different dimensions.

The Harissa, which took refugees from Long Bay, was named after this mysterious space.

So he never expected that a Harissa space was clearly marked on the star map of the cosmic hunting ground, including Xia Zuo's words, which made Li Ou understand another meaning. Could this be the real meaning of "hunting ground"?

Does the cosmic hunting ground have a stable Harissa space coordinate?

How could such a big matter not be revealed?

It was this that gave Li Ou a headache. The more complicated the situation in the cosmic hunting ground, the more troublesome it would be beyond his imagination if he wanted to find out the truth about the imperial army, find the White Death Knell, and then leave here.

Li Ou asked Xia Zuo: "The transformation of star beasts into income?"

Xia Zuo took him to the other side of the stereoscopic image. It turned out that there were three boards there, one of which was marked with "chip field" on the top, one was "star beast field", and the other was the most inconspicuous one at the top. ——"Energy Store".

"They first transform the star beast into energy." Xia Zuo explained: "There is a kind of equipment here, which can not only touch the star beast, but also swallow the star beast before transforming it, and finally produce a fusion reaction. Loading, storing and then selling, the buyers are outsiders, and we use part of the energy ourselves, otherwise the 'good tradition' of the Holy Code City may not be able to last long ago."

Xia Zuo was referring to the countless lighted starships outside the portholes.

On the way here, he? He had already told Leo that most of the starships parked in Shengdian City were unowned. After the owner died, the starships were parked here and lit up. Over time, such a scene was formed. .

The energy consumed to make such a large construction star like a Christmas tree can be imagined. After saying this, Li Ou vaguely understood that the amount of energy that each star beast can convert must also be unimaginable.

Saoirse complained: "Although I think this place is not bad, this 'tradition' is really annoying. There is no one in the starship, and the electronic intelligence is still working as usual."

Li Ou doesn't want to imagine that kind of picture, heart? Speaking of which, how on earth is the star beast linked to? Energy, what the hell, is he really dreaming?

At this time, the Saoirse commentator came online and said: "I have read the original records of this hotel. According to the data, the ancestors of the space hunting grounds should not be the Alliance humans, but the 'Gwa people'. Due to the scarcity of the number, about There are not many records about them. Every Gewa has a spiritual body from birth, and from the beginning they captured star beasts as energy sources. Later, they left this star field relying on star beast energy technology, probably because they merged with other people. The Gewa people can no longer be distinguished by human genes, but their technology of catching star beasts has been secretly preserved. "

"The Gewa people superstitiously believe that after death, the spirit of human beings will go to the lair of the star beast, which is the Harissa space. Only those who are often exposed to the energy of the star beast, the star beast will be afraid and dare not devour it." After Saoirse paused, just said:

"From the perspective of human history, superstitions and fantasies may also be inspired by the laws of reality. Humans will enter the Harissa space after death. This statement? It is not an original creation of the Gewa people."

"For example, when you died, you went to a place that I would never go to. I made some assumptions, one of which was the Harissa space. And some scholars in the alliance also believed that the spirit body can exist independently, and with other A dimension is closely related, maybe? You've been there...."

When Li Ou was told by her, there was a gust of wind behind her, and a bottomless dark abyss seemed to appear in front of her eyes. If there was no one around, Li Ou really wanted her to stop talking.

"...The Star Beast Farm is a competition system after the star beast is detected. Participants settle the chips in the form of contributions. If they are of no help to the capture, the chips will be deducted. If you don't want to be deducted, you can also snatch the star beast. , once it fails, the chips will be cleared."

Li Ou had no interest in catching star beasts. At this time, Saoirse said: "Anyway, you can't participate in anything during the newcomer period. You should rest for a few days. After ten days, we will participate in the chip field and go to the medical center here to treat your hand." .”

"???"

Saoirse hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong? I'm not caring about you."

"..."? ? ? ?

"Hey, it's like this," Saoirse said, "I've searched the Intranet several times, but I haven't found what we're looking for."

Li Ou frowned involuntarily.

……

When she first arrived in Hangte City, which is within the range of the hunting ground's intranet, Saoirse walked happily into God Mode, but she didn't expect to encounter difficulties.

"Later, I discovered that there is actually a big blind spot in this place, where physical isolation... information flow, even the intranet is rejected...."

Li Ou waited quietly for the next article, Saoirse sighed: "They don't even trust electronic intelligence, these people are so heartbroken? Crazy! Anyway, there is a medical service in the hotel, which includes not only evolution? Teachers, but also physical Treatment and repair are basically the same as nesting, so some people save the service items of the medical center as 'winter nest'."

"But this medical center itself is not open to the Internet, and all business appointments are made through the Lauren Hotel...how about it, if there is a problem, it should be it??! We have to go and see???, don't be afraid, as long as you Go in, I can go in right away, I don't believe there is really a primitive community!"

Li Ou nodded silently, and Xia Zuo next to him said, "...Is it easy to understand? The chips field is like gambling..."

"I will participate in the chip field in ten days."

"Oh... eh?!!! Wait..."

Over there, Li Ou has already walked towards the elevator platform.

They all know what they should know, they still have some questions they want to ask Saoirse, and it is really inconvenient to be in the hall.

Xia Zuo came to his senses and quickly followed Li Ou. As soon as he got up the lift, Xia Zuo just opened his mouth, and Li Ou said casually, "Floor C12."

"At your service, Mr. Maiou?" Electronic Intelligence responded.

Xia Zuo looked at Li Ou in surprise, and he was even more surprised. Although Li Ou was by his side, he was familiar with the road - as if he didn't need to lead the way at all. Walking a little slower, Li Ou still walked in the right direction first.

God!When I came here on the first day, I was completely dizzy. This person is either terrible with a strong memory or terrible with adaptability!

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo couldn't help laughing. The little things that happened today seemed to prove to him that Li Ou was not an ordinary person. No wonder even such a scary person would be curious about Li Ou...

Suddenly that aristocratic perfect smile flashed before his eyes, Xia Zuo couldn't help shivering, and followed Li Ou a few steps.

As a result, he didn't pay attention for a while, and almost bumped into the former.

It was Li Ou who suddenly stopped... Xia Zuo said in doubt: "Why..." Before he finished speaking, when he raised his eyes, the words got stuck in his throat.

There was a man standing in the hallway.

Stepping on the thick and soft carpet, the person appeared without a sound.

There is no shadow of a spiritual body around, and there is no smell of pheromones—but that shadow is so tall, I am afraid it is an ethnic group?

The reason why the information obtained was pitifully small was because the other party was covered in a black robe from head to toe.

Xia Zuo felt even more strange from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Li Ou, and saw Li Ou standing straight on the spot, his whole body was already stiff, only his trembling eyes were glued to the figure at the other end of the corridor, his face was extremely pale!
