After some refutation, it was Kaos who was finally pushed over to negotiate. He thought about it and decided to start with the song she just hummed:
"The song you sang just now is very beautiful, but I seem to have never heard it before. Did you write it yourself?"
There is no way, the "King in Yellow" has never communicated with the "Destroyed Star Songstress". After all, she - let's call her by her appearance - every time she appears, it represents the destruction of a civilization and the troublesome aftermath.
In order not to be caught, he naturally hid as far as he could.
"Um... no," Lin Mingmei blinked as if in surprise: "That was hummed by my mother when I was a child. I only remember the melody and lyrics. I don't even know the title of the song. Try searching it on the Buoy Network.
I tried but to no avail. When I saw the scenery outside the window, I started humming because of the scenery. It was really a bit..."
Kaos was shocked.
She calls [that person] mother?
[Who] can hum songs to her?
She also tried to find the origin of the song on the buoy network?
Uh... Actually, in theory, it's not impossible to call [that person] mom. Since there are too many performers, it's a common misunderstanding to hum casually and be regarded as humming specifically for her, but it's too outrageous to search on the Internet.
Not to mention that [that person]'s songs basically don't belong to this world. Throwing the content of those songs, whether they are tunes or lyrics, into search engines is tantamount to spreading chaos. Not even Naia can do this kind of thing - it seems that he can do it.
?
However, what this means is... the act of humming before was just random, not a signal that work is about to start?
Then why did she suddenly appear? It was obvious that this classmate Lin Mingmei was in normal condition before boarding the ship.
"So, classmate Lin, what do you think about our mission this time?" Kaos changed the topic: "We believe that most of those missions require everyone's concerted cooperation, so we plan to invite you to join the 'SOS Group'
.”
He pointed at Naia and Kedoli who were staring at them.
"Um...well..." Lin Mingmei seemed to be hesitant.
This operation was perfect, Kaos praised himself mentally.
On the surface, it was another "victim" that Naija took a fancy to, and she was ordered to pull people away. But secretly, there was a code exchange between the "Old One" and the "Outer God", asking about her sudden appearance in the "human body".
What do you plan to do and do you need help?
"I'm not sure what I can do. Maybe I can cheer up my classmates." She thought for a moment, but finally shook her head and refused: "As for the club, because I like to be alone, I haven't joined it, and I still don't.
No change of mind.”
Well, although she refused, she vaguely expressed her doubts about suddenly appearing in this form. She suspected that she might have been assigned a job, so she did not plan to participate in the strange things over there that were mixed with too many old days and outer gods.
Societies.
In this case, there is no need to worry about the catastrophe that mankind will encounter for the time being.
But based on her passive attributes, there should still be a certain intelligent group that is about to face extinction. Could it be... the indigenous people of this white and black planet? But can life be born naturally under such conditions?
"It's okay, it's okay," Kaos waved his hand and turned around, "You also know the character of Naiya. He always stirs up troubles and is still hot for three minutes. It's normal that he doesn't want to get close to her. However, even if you don't join, you will still encounter difficulties.
You can come and seek our help~”
"Yeah." Lin Mingmei nodded with a smile.
Okay, the agreement is reached, and then both parties will do their own things, but they can also support each other if necessary.
It's not like...Lin Mingmei hasn't actually awakened yet. She just had a failed conversation?
————
Three hours later, the isolation and quarantine work ended successfully. Although it exceeded the normal minimum of two hours, it was not as exaggerated as the theoretical maximum of 12 hours.
This means that the microorganisms they bring with them pose no threat to the colony.
“Welcome to Akuz~ I am ‘Shiroe’, the person in charge here.”
When Kaos and his classmates walked out of the star port of the research station, they saw a large suspended school bus waiting there. In front of the school bus, stood a man wearing black armor and a white cloak.
He has a pair of glasses and a smiling expression, and at first glance he is a sinister type of guy.
And whether it was the guide with the strange name, the school bus driver, the security personnel around him, or the passers-by who were looking at him curiously from a distance, they all looked like gentle and scholarly people.
After all, this is a settlement mainly based on research stations and supplemented by colonies. It is not strange in terms of the environment.
In this somewhat weird atmosphere, other students were fine, but Misaka Mikoto and Suzuko Yuriko, who had a certain shadow of similar-looking guys, almost turned black.
"Everyone, please line up and get on the bus. The teacher and Winston will follow you outside~" While the students were hesitating, Yueyong Shena ran over from the other side riding a gorilla - her mount was indeed participating in the other party.
quarantine items.
Now it seems that although she is small in stature and lively in behavior, so not many students call her "teacher" sincerely, she still seems to be the backbone of everyone on the unfamiliar colonial planet.
Well...if necessary, the "SOS group" can actually play this role.
"Next, I will lead the students around the city to get to know all the important facilities, and finally send everyone to the hotel to rest." After all the students boarded the school bus, the person in charge named "Shiroe" took over the tour guide
"Oh, everyone, look at the left hand side. That is the only non-moving landmark building of our research station, the 'Central Tower'. If you accidentally get lost, just walk towards that pillar."
Okay, the other thing is——"
Before Kaos landed, he had already hacked into the database and roughly learned the information about this research station. The explanation given by the person in charge was nothing new to him.
To put it simply, this is a settlement that was originally planned as a "colony" but was eventually modified into a "research station". It has less than 50,000 residents, all of whom are staff of research institutions and related service facilities.
About half a month ago, it submitted an application to expand the research station and build a new mine, but what was waiting was not an engineering ship but a group of students with super powers. I guess Mr. Shiroe was already cursing in his heart.
The question now is, what exactly does "Starry Sky Diva" do?
Kaos stared at the back of Lin Mingmei's head in the front row and kept making assumptions and rulings out.
Even she herself doesn't know what the mission will be...
