Chapter 322 Are You Not Sociable?

Amber never expected that this handsome alien in front of him would react like this.

For a moment, he felt like he had become an orc or goblin, and had done something extraordinary to this "noble" alien.

"It's not clean. It's not clean. It's not clean."

Salih was still mumbling with her eyes blank, as if she had been played badly. Obviously, the mental invasion had dealt a heavy blow to her.

But Amber would not indulge her. Although he was a man who sympathized with women, he did not dare to have such an idea in the face of this "alien" who had just wanted to kill him.

The heavy palm of the power armor clamped Salih's neck like an iron clamp, then lifted her up from the ground and forced her to sit on a relatively intact cryogenic hibernation chamber nearby.

"Next, I'll say one sentence, and you'll answer one sentence, understand?"

"Not clean anymore. Not clean anymore. Not clean anymore."

"Tsk"

Looking at the alien's reaction, Amber gradually guessed the reason. In fact, 'mental cleanliness' is not unique to the Jeram people. There are similar situations among humans and elf psychics.

And Saleh's current state is just like an elf psychic who was a villain NPC that Amber had seen in the game. He is extremely repulsive to communication and dialogue through psychic energy.

In the subsequent plot missions, players also directly use psychic energy to invade the mind, directly causing the villain to 'break the defense' and even become incontinent on the spot

Since the other party's state has been roughly guessed, Amber's solution is also very simple - that is to use strong medicine.

Simple, crude, fast and effective.

Immediately, Amber strengthened his mental invasion of Saleh, and for this reason he directly turned on the 'burst mode' of this power armor in reality.

When the psychic amplification crystals unfolded all over the power armor, emitting abundant blue light, Amber's psychic strength also began to rise.

Then, a stronger spiritual energy directly and violently invaded Saleh's mind, and her whole body, including the soft tentacles behind her head, suddenly stiffened.

She had never thought that this kind of brainwashing mental shock would happen to her.

The Jeram people's attainments in spiritual energy are stronger than the elves of the Thousand Star Empire, and their innate special structure makes them more compatible with spiritual energy than other races.

In terms of spiritual energy intensity level alone, Saleh actually has the eighth level standard.

Although her spiritual energy intensity has regressed significantly due to sleeping for more than two million years, it is still about the sixth or seventh level anyway.

Theoretically, if Amber, who is at level five, invades her mentally, the possibility of success is basically non-existent.

However, due to the backlash of spiritual energy, this Jeram person is in the weakest state since adulthood, and the spiritual energy protection for his own consciousness is basically gone, which is equivalent to the door being wide open.

This allowed Amber to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

Soon, Saleh, who felt that her entire brain was completely swept by the psychic power of this Homo sapiens, finally regained some consciousness.

Although she would feel uncomfortable and a little stressed when she thought about the current situation, she was no longer the "broken" look before.

"Can we communicate properly now?"

"You, you say"

When Amber's voice sounded again, the Jeram man even unconsciously used honorifics.

Seeing this scene, Amber, who knew that the initial "suppression" had been completed, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still managed his emotions and did not show it immediately.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with this ruins?"

"So you call this place a ruins." Saleh plucked up the courage to look up at the power armor in front of him.

"I'm Saleh, the think tank steward of this think tank."

"Think tank? Does it mean a facility for storing technology?"

"Yes, this is Think Tank No. 322, which is mainly a place for civilian technology research and development and storage, and it is also a living facility."

When Amber heard Saleh say "civilian technology", she was not very surprised.

Because if we look at the "gravity control technology" and "long-distance pointing magnetic field control technology" dropped from this relic in the previous life, it is indeed some civilian-level technology for the forerunners.

"It seems that you are indeed a forerunner." Amber's tone was a little sighing. He never thought that this civilization, which is an "unsolved mystery" in the world today, actually has survivors and lives to this day.

"Forerunner? What is that?"

Saleh asked curiously after hearing this title.

"This is what we humans call your civilization."

"Why do we use a name like 'Pioneer' that sounds so great?"

"Because in our opinion, your civilization once had extremely advanced technology, but it seemed to have disappeared overnight, leaving only a large number of 'ruins' - just like here."

Amber raised her foot and stepped on the ground here, and continued:

"And some of the discoveries in these 'ruins' have also promoted the development of our human civilization, allowing us to leave our home planet and take root everywhere in the universe. In the eyes of many people, your civilization is like a 'pioneer' that guides the way forward, so this name spread and finally became a special name for your civilization."

After listening to Amber's words, Saleh fell silent, and laughed at himself after a moment.

"'Forerunner'. This is really an ironic name. Our civilization once mercilessly destroyed your highly developed civilization of 'Homo sapiens', and beat you all the way back to the Stone Age and almost wiped you out. As a result, you are still praising us and calling us by such a name."

"Ah?"

Amber was a little shocked by Saleh's words, because what she said was something that was not mentioned in the game plot at all.

If according to what she said, humans seemed to have a highly developed civilization, but for some reason they summoned the plague god of 'Forerunner civilization' and were almost wiped out.

"Wait, is this plot sure that people will not sue for plagiarism and infringement?"

Such a thought flashed through Amber's mind, but he immediately put his attention back to the present.

"So what you mean is that your civilization and us humans are actually in a hostile relationship?"

"Not just you humans, all highly developed civilizations are enemies of our race."

When this was said, Amber immediately felt that there was something wrong with the play. This should not be called "Pioneer" at all, it is more appropriate to call it "Reaper".

The information that Saleh confessed was quite shocking to Amber.

When he played "Starry Sky OL" in his previous life, although he was not a senior "plot party" or "textual research party", he also liked to discuss the plot with other players on the forum.

And now, he found that most players' guesses about the pioneer civilization were wrong.

Amber actually wanted to continue to have a good chat with Saleh, but he knew that now was not the right time. There was a fleet of the Truth Seeking Foundation outside this "think tank" staring at him.

Although the "Polarized Light" carried secret weapons, it would be difficult for it to last too long.

Thinking of this, he felt a little funny again. If the Truth Seeking Foundation knew that the "forerunner" they were looking for was actually set up like this, and that there was a living "forerunner" in the "ruins" they wanted to destroy now, I wonder what they would think.

Shaking his head, getting rid of these irrelevant thoughts in his mind, Amber looked at Saleh again and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment:

"So, Ms. Saleh, are you not very sociable?"

"Ah?"

"Otherwise, why would you be left here alone?"
