We saw the "man in white" struggling and twisting in the net, so that when the submersible was moving forward, the water splash at the tail was as big as a white cloud. The excitement in both of us was indescribable, we held hands tightly and swam forward. After we swam a few dozen yards, the sub went further. If it weren't for the large splash of water produced by the "man in white" struggling hard at the tail of the submersible, then we would definitely not be able to see the submersible. After swimming another ten yards, we came to the side of the "white dress".

Batu stretched out his hand, grabbed the glove attached to his sleeve, pulled the "white robe", and swam forward together. I was eager to catch up with the "man in white", but wearing such a suit obviously slowed down my speed, so I said: "Batu, get rid of it!" But Batu reminded me: "No, you once said that this kind of person wears this kind of 'clothes' all the time. I think this 'clothes' must have a special effect on him. We have already captured prisoners, so we can't abuse them too much." He, so carrying this 'clothes' may be of some use."

I said: "Your plan is certainly good, but we will soon be unable to catch up with that submersible!" Batu smiled and said: "Don't worry, go forward, there is a large piece of coral reef lying ahead, and many of them are above the water surface, the submersible must be blocked there. If there is coffee, let's drink it slowly." It's not too late to go with a glass!" Hearing what he said, I felt relieved a lot. I didn't object to him wearing that "white coat", but grabbed the other "sleeve" and swam forward. The "white dress" was not heavy. I looked in through the gap in the middle and found that the "white dress" was almost like a small submarine. Inside the "clothes", there were many buttons and instruments.

When I first saw the "man in white", I thought it was just a person wearing a strange white coat.But until now, I only know that, in essence, it is a strange creature hiding in a human-shaped sealed device! Because the "white coat" is indeed like a small spaceship, when the "white man" is walking, it is just the small wheel under the "white coat" turning, and I used to think that the white coat was too long, Covers people's feet! The body of the "man in white" is not big, he is only about four feet tall, and there is quite a lot of room for movement in that "white coat".While observing the white dress, we tried our best to swim forward. After half an hour, we saw the large coral reef.

Wherever coral reefs are concentrated, the sea water must be particularly clear, as if transparent. There was a great coral reef stretching across the front, fully three miles long, and as we swam closer we all saw our submersible, which was blocked by the coral reef. We also saw the net, and the "man in white" in the net was still struggling. But as we got closer, he fell silent. Batu and I paddled hard together a few times and swam over. We stood on the coral reef, straightened up, and our chests were out of the sea. We dragged hard, pulled the net up, and headed to the high place of the coral reef. After walking about ten steps, when our feet were no longer submerged in the sea, the "man in white" was completely dragged out of the sea by us.So Batu and I, under the sunlight for the first time, saw the creatures from other planets clearly.

I can't say he is ugly, because he is from another planet, and he must feel the same disgust when he sees us.But after I glanced at him, I never wanted to look at him again! Batu's feeling was obviously the same as mine. We both turned our heads away, and I took off the round mask on my head: "You are our captive. Do you understand what a captive is?" The "man in white" made a very fast-syllable sound.It was doubtless a language other than the cries of the beasts, but we could not understand it at all. At this time, we heard the sound of "patting" again, and we had to turn our heads. We saw one of his tentacles protruding from the mesh, and was flapping the white coat that we had also moved to the coral reef.

I said, "Batu, it seems that he wants to return his clothes." Batu hurriedly said: "How can that be done? Once he has 'clothes', it will be too easy for him to deal with us." I smiled wryly and said, "But now we don't understand a single word of what he said. I believe there is an interpreter in the 'clothes eyes'. Then, we can negotiate with him. What do you think?" Batu said bluntly: "I think you are too naive. He has returned to his clothes, so why bother negotiating with us?" I accidentally lowered my head, only to see a tentacle gradually approaching Batu's ankle, and I hurriedly said, "Be careful!"

Batu jumped four or five feet away, and said bitterly, "Look, do you want to return the 'clothes' to him?" "But, otherwise, the deadlock cannot be broken." "I have a solution." Batu raised his hand and said, "Aim the spear gun in your hand at him, and try to hide in the coral reef." "Then what about you?" "Me? I randomly pressed various buttons in his 'clothes', and there was always one of them that could let his companions know that he was in danger and come to rescue him!" I was stunned for a moment: "His companion is here, don't we want to be bad?"

Batu laughed: "Don't forget, we have the trump card in our hands. This is a hostage, and the spear gun in your hand is aimed at him again. What are you afraid of?" I said, "Are you sure the speargun in my hand can kill him?" He said: "I think it is possible. Look, the spear gun was aimed at him. Look at his eyes." I turn my head away.At this time, the sharp tip of the speargun in my hand was aimed at the "man in white", and the sapphire blue eyes of the "man in white" became more uncertain. Both Batu and I are not sure whether the flickering of his "eyes" is really a sign of fear, but unless we let him into his "clothes", we have no choice but to adopt Batu's method .

I nodded and said, "Okay, just mess with the buttons." Batu walked up to the "white man" standing on the coral reef, reached in, and pressed the button inside, while the "white man" in the net was still talking non-stop. After about a minute, Batu and I couldn't help but cried out. Because, there are four men in white who have emerged from the sea! After screaming, Batu immediately said loudly: "Don't approach us, or your companions will die." The four men in white whose heads were out of the water did not move forward, only one of them said: "You are amazing, you two are really amazing!"

I aimed my speargun at the "man in white" in the net. Only by threatening the life of this man in white can our safety be guaranteed.I dare not be negligent in the slightest, so I do not speak. Batu's answer was very decent, he said: "You are wrong, it is not that we are great, but you make us great, and you want to occupy our planet, which makes us great!" Those "men in white clothes" walked forward two yards, half of their bodies were above the sea water. Batu warned once again: "If you get any closer, we will attack immediately!" The leading "man in white" let out a few ugly laughs: "Okay, we will stand here, may I ask, what kind of conditions do you want to release our companions?" This question made me and Batu stunned. The "man in white" said again: "We don't think you know who we are, you have already forgotten, haven't you?" I shouted in a deep voice: "Batu!" Batu immediately walked towards me, and I handed him the speargun, and he continued to aim at the man in white in the net, and then I walked forward: "You are completely wrong, I remember everything, nothing at all. Forget, your operation to make my memory disappear failed!" Then, I cited a few things that happened in their headquarters, and exposed their conspiracy to destroy the people on Earth. The "man in white" kept saying: "How is this possible? The memory cells on your meninges have been coagulated, so it is impossible for you to remember these things." I laughed "haha": "But I remember it! This proves that your surgery is ineffective. Maybe you haven't done enough research on the people on earth. The surgery you think is clever is actually useless at all!" The "man in white" smiled wryly, "Maybe." There was a silence between us for a while, and the "man in white" said: "Now, we want to get our companion back, what do you think?" I slowly said: "Yes, the condition is: you leave immediately, leave the earth, and you are not allowed to use the earth's brains again, and find other planets as the objects of your immigration." The "man in white" didn't make a sound, I looked back at Batu, the look on Batu's face showed that he was also very nervous.Of course, I was also very nervous, because I knew that the possibility of the other party accepting my condition was very slight, and I waited for about two minutes before I heard the "man in white" say: "It is impossible, we have done a lot to the earth. period of research, and we are ready for anything!" He paused, and then said: "Besides, there is also a reason why we chose the earth. People on earth have been keen on killing each other since ancient times. One day, people on earth will kill each other until there is no one left. Like a person suffering from cancer, we just make a person who is going to die sooner or later die earlier, and we can also make the earth people suffer a lot less!" I said coldly: "No matter how grand your words are, even if it is the example you gave, killing a person with cancer is still punishable by death." He said: "You insist that we suspend the plan?" I nodded: "Yes!" "The man in white" said: "Then we can't agree. The immigration to the earth is a decision that has been made by our planet for many years. This is an extremely important matter. When we made this decision, we had planned that there would be a In war, sacrificing a person is certainly painful for us, but we have to sacrifice!" I felt a chill in my heart. We have restrained one of them and want to negotiate with them. The most important point is that we think we have caught their weakness that they don't want to sacrifice one person! But now, in the words of the "man in white", it has been shown that when sacrifices are necessary, they are not afraid of sacrifices! Since they are not afraid of sacrifice, what is the use of us restraining the "man in white"? My palms were already sweating, and the sea breeze seemed to be extraordinarily cold, and I wanted to redeem myself: "I don't believe you are willing to sacrifice this person!" The answer of the "man in white" made me even more frustrated. He said: "It has been a long time since we have overcome one of the deadliest diseases on our planet, but immigration is imperative. We, eight people Depart from your own planet, come to the earth, come here with the heart of death, tell your friends to let go of their spear guns, unnecessary sacrifices will never benefit you or us." I took a few steps back and came to Batu's side. Batu's complexion may be uglier than mine. His hand could hardly hold the spear gun. Finally, his hand dropped, and the spear gun in his hand landed on the coral reef with a "slap". I didn't bend down to pick up the spear gun. They are not afraid of sacrifice, and any threat will be useless. Only cowards who are afraid of sacrifice will be terrified of all kinds of threats. The four "men in white" went to the coral reef at a very fast speed, and a beam of light was shot from the "hand" of one "man in white", and the net was opened, and the other "man in white" took the net. "White Clothes" took it over, and the octopus-like thing got into "White Clothes" immediately. The two "men in white" hurriedly escorted the "man in white" into the sea first. The other two "men in white" were still on the coral reef, facing me and Batu. We confronted each other for a long time before a "man in white" came forward and patted me on the shoulder: "I think we can be friends." I shrieked, "You're friends with a man you're going to kill? And I'm friends with a man who's going to kill me? What do you mean?" Perhaps it was because my voice was too sharp, which made the "man in white" a little uneasy. He took a step back and said, "This is the so-called tragedy!" I ignored him at all, and he said again: "I think, you two, at least one invitation can be accepted. Would you like to visit our base?" Batu said coldly: "What is there to see?" The "man in white" said: "That may let you know that considering the capabilities of the people on earth, it is absolutely impossible to resist us. Moreover, you can also understand our painstaking efforts. We actually have The method of destroying the people on the earth, this method is available to us as soon as we arrive on the earth, but because this method will cause the people on the earth to suffer great pain, we are not willing to use it." I couldn't help it suddenly and laughed loudly: "How merciful!" "You can laugh, but what we are telling is the truth." Although the voice of the man in white can only be understood by us through an interpreter, we can also hear his voice, which is quite sincere, "You should accept this invitation .” Batu smiled and said, "After arriving at your base, can you perform amnesia surgery again?" The answer of the man in white was beyond our expectation, he said: "We have no such plan, especially for him—" When he was talking about this, he pointed to me and said: "We have already failed twice on him, so of course we will not try again for the third time." Batu said again: "Then, are you going to put us under house arrest?" The man in white said: "Why do you always think that we have bad intentions?" This sentence caused Batu to explode suddenly. He first cursed five or six extremely rough and ugly words, and then said: "You have good intentions, and you are so kind that you want to kill all the people on the earth." The man in white paused every word: "Yes, we have never denied this attempt, but our attempt is based on a premise that all people on earth will eventually die, and the death will be extremely painful!" Batu roared: "Let your shit go, that's the earth's own business, even if the earth's people will inevitably die, that's also the earth's own business, what has it to do with you?" The man in white said: "Of course it has something to do with us. It also has something to do with the advanced creatures on many planets. Humans on Earth have the right to destroy themselves, but you can't say that humans on Earth are destroying themselves at the same time. , and kill others, it’s like a person can blow himself up with a bomb, no matter what, but if he blows himself up in a busy city and hurts others at the same time, it will definitely be stopped.” Batu said sharply: "Don't scare people here anymore. What does the self-destruction of the earth people have to do with you octopuses who are hundreds of thousands of light years away?" The voice of the man in white was very calm: "This question, sir, I tell you, you don't understand, yes, there are hundreds of millions of planets in the entire universe, and the earth is an extremely small one of them, but it is also the largest planet in the universe. One molecule has a relationship with other planets, which is like an airplane with tens of thousands of parts. If one of them fails, the plane will crash." Both Batu and I There was no sound, because the statement made by the man in white was indeed not easy to refute. The man in white continued: "We estimate that the destruction of the people on Earth must take place in an astonishing nuclear war. As a result of the final nuclear war, not only will the living things on the earth be completely destroyed, but the earth will also split and become countless clusters with temperatures as high as The nuclear vapor clusters of millions of degrees are rushing about in the universe, and because of the disappearance of the earth, the balance of the entire universe will also disappear.” When the man in white talked about this, he paused for a moment: "First, the stars in the solar system lost their original laws of motion. They will collide, and the result of the collision will lead to the destruction of the planets in the solar system. Then, they will react like water. Expanding outward like a circle, it will eventually affect the entire universe, you say, can we sit idly by?" Batu and I glanced at each other, still not speaking.And the anger in Batu's heart has obviously disappeared, and I can see that it is replaced by depression. I thought for a while: "Your words are only one-sided." The "man in white" said again: "We might as well say frankly that the purpose of inviting you is to let you have a look at our scientific development level, so that we can make progress." We consider the possibility of selecting some Earthlings as immigrants from other planets!" Batu and I immediately understood what he meant.He wants to divide the people on Earth into two categories, one deserves to die and the other does not deserve to die. Then, the earth is still occupied by them, and the undeserving ones will help them immigrate to another planet. It appears as though they have taken a step back.But this is just their wishful thinking. Of course, those people they think are damned may really be damned, but as Batu said, this is the earth's own business, and what has it to do with them, these octopus in outer space ? But I know, at least for the time being, they won't have any malice towards us. So I touched Batu with my hand, and said, "Okay, we can go and see, how do we go?" The "man in white" said: "It's too simple!" He turned around and submerged into the sea with another "man in white". After a while, they came up again. I couldn't see what was around them, but when they got closer to me and Batu, But I saw that there seemed to be something transparent. Then, I just felt a blinding light flashed in front of my eyes. Asked in that split second, I couldn't see anything. I screamed, "Batu!" At the same time, I also heard Batu calling me, and after I called out, the light had disappeared. I stayed for a while, after the light disappeared, I still could not see for about two or three seconds, then, my eyesight recovered, and I saw Batu beside me, and the two men in white were also there . However, we are no longer on the coral reef above the water, but in a white room. I am sure that it is only three seconds before and after! What means of transportation did they use to move us there in such a short time? When I saw Batu's expression, it was obvious that he also had the same doubts in his heart. The "man in white" said: "Please take a look at the vehicle we came here first." Batu and I followed him out, passed through a passage, and came to a cave. The cave faces the sea, and there is a very narrow passage. I thought I could see a huge spaceship here, but after arriving at the cave, I really couldn't see anything. However, before I could ask a question, a huge rock moved away automatically, and another big rock rose up. On the rock, there was an oval-shaped thing. It wasn't more than eight feet long, about two people could hug it, and it was silver-gray. The "man in white" pointed to the cigar-shaped thing: "This is the tool we used to come to the earth. After some time, this tool will bring our kind to the earth in large numbers." I suppressed the disgust in my heart: "I remember you said that your planet is very far away from the earth, so how long will it take you to fly to reach the earth?" The "man in white" said: "This is a concept that you people on Earth cannot understand. You always use time to calculate distance. You have a formula. Time multiplied by speed is equal to distance. Movement on the surface of the earth, generally speaking , can be calculated with this formula, however, once the earth and celestial bodies move, this formula is not applicable.” Both Batu and I stared at the "man in white", because we both felt that this guy was talking nonsense. The "man in white" said again: "You are surprised, aren't you? Because it is beyond your imagination. For example, there is a planet that is 600,000 light-years away from the earth. Using your formula, it is Say, to travel at the speed of light, it will take 600,000 years to reach that planet." "Isn't that the case?" Batu asked unconvinced. "It's not like that. For us, we only need to go through five or six cosmic shocks to reach it." "What is a cosmic shock?" "It is a kind of oscillation in the universe, which is very difficult to explain. It is another kind of motion beyond time and speed. This kind of oscillation can change time and distance, and we have never learned how to do it. Mastering it, however, we have thrown our spaceflight vehicles into such vibrations that the stars are instantly accessible." Batu and I glanced at each other, both of us were puzzled. The "man in white" said again: "Of course, it is very difficult for you to understand, because there are some nouns and necessary explanations, etc., and the earth people do not have this kind of language to express it. The people on earth in the Roman period explained the principle of TV, and it is absolutely difficult to explain it clearly!" When he talked here, he paused for a while, and then said again: "I tell you this, just to let you know that although the earthlings are already the most advanced creatures on the earth, they are still extremely rare in the entire universe. We are low-energy, so we found that the earth can be used for us to live in, and it is absolutely immoral to kill all the people on the earth. It is just like the people on the earth found a cave that can be lived in, and drove away the animals that originally lived in the cave , is a matter of course.” Batu said coldly: "But we are human beings, not wild beasts. Besides, who knows what happened to the shock you mentioned? Can you go back to your planet immediately and come back again?" Unexpectedly, the man in white nodded immediately and said: "Yes." Batu said: "Okay, you send us to your planet to have a look!" The "man in white" shook his head and said: "No, your body is full of bacteria. Bacteria have been eliminated on our planet for many years. We have no disease or death. If you come to our planet, then you It is equivalent to the incarnation of trillions of death!" Batu's two thick eyebrows raised up suddenly. I have been with him for a long time, and I know that whenever he has this expression, it is a symbol of something important suddenly thinking in his heart.But at that time, he didn't say anything, just asked casually: "So that's the case, then, what is the power of this spaceship?"
