Chapter 619 The Strange Host
Chapter 619 The Strange Host
These symbols were completely incomprehensible to Lin Xiyue, like a book written in heaven, but that did not dampen her enthusiasm for exploring other civilizations.
When the channel was turned on, virtual data swept across the room like ripples, then spread out in tiny circles around Lin Xiyue and Molos.
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling array of holographic images surged forth like a tidal wave, quickly enveloping them completely.
At this moment, what appeared before Lin Xiyue was like a real stage, and she and Molos were sitting in the audience as if they were actually there.
However, the only drawback is that the stage is currently empty, making it seem particularly desolate and lonely. Only the exquisite, shimmering but somewhat strange decorations adorn the space, radiating a faint but eye-catching glow.
Time passed quietly, and a crisp, melodious, and rhythmic melody suddenly broke the silence.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely bizarre-looking object suddenly sped out from behind the heavy curtain!
The reason it is described as "weird" is because its appearance is far beyond Lin Xiyue's understanding of ordinary creatures.
After all, Lin Xiyue had seen three completely different planets and countless strange and wonderful animals.
Whether it's the creatures on Earth or the strange species on MapleNetherworld, although they differ, they can generally be considered to be in the same ecosystem; or to put it more vividly, they are simply two parallel worlds.
Unlike other planets, the alien race's homeworld is shrouded in endless mystery.
This place is home to all sorts of strange animals, whose size, appearance, and habits are vastly different from those of creatures on MapleStar and Earth.
Lin Xiyue was not particularly surprised or confused by this difference, after all, she had expected it and was fully prepared.
However, when she turned her gaze to the channel in front of her, a strange emotion welled up inside her.
The thing that appeared on the channel was beyond Lin Xiyue's imagination and completely contradicted her knowledge of biology.
The creature seemed to have traveled from another dimension, with its various parts growing in extremely strange positions, making people feel uncomfortable and uneasy.
The creature that just appeared only had one eye, but it wasn't located in the center of its head; instead, it was lone on the left side. Where the right eye should have been was instead an enormous mouth.
This thing only has these two things growing on its front; there are no other organs.
Even so, it wouldn't matter, but what really made Lin Xiyue extremely uncomfortable was that this thing was in an odd number state all over its body, and had no symmetry whatsoever.
Its appearance is exactly like a freak that was randomly pieced together.
Each body part is complete, but without exception, each exists as a single piece, and what's worse, their positions are quite strange.
For example, its one arm was growing in the middle of its belly, which should be the abdomen, right? Lin Xiyue wasn't quite sure.
Because above this place are three spherical organs that connect to the head—logically speaking, those three spherical organs should be the neck of this thing.
At that moment, it was precisely that one-armed man holding what appeared to be a microphone who was chattering incessantly in words that Lin Xiyue couldn't understand at all.
Lin Xiyue was completely baffled by these words, but the atmosphere at the scene seemed unusually lively, and she even heard cheers coming from the audience from time to time.
Lin Xiyue suppressed the nausea and vomiting in her stomach and struggled to lift her head to look at the images on the huge screen above the podium.
However, no matter how hard she tried to listen and understand, she could never figure out what that machine gun-like sound was saying.
Just as she was feeling incredibly conflicted and distressed, she suddenly realized that Meros should be able to understand, so why not just ask him?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue hurriedly turned her head, and her gaze met that of Molos, who was sitting in the back row.
Although Meros did not show any particular interest or fascination, his focused gaze and slightly forward-leaning posture indicated that he could understand the performance he was currently performing.
"Do you... really understand?"
Lin Xiyue asked softly, her face full of suspicion.
As soon as Lin Xiyue finished speaking, she saw that Molos did not answer, but simply nodded slightly in response.
"Could you tell me about it?"
Seeing this, Lin Xiyue became even more curious, and after hesitating for a moment, she mustered up her courage again to ask.
"Oh, I forgot to set it. Wait a minute."
Meros then realized that Lin Xiyue didn't understand.
After he finished speaking, he pressed several buttons on the controller. Then, simultaneous translation and bottom subtitles appeared together. Now, Lin Xiyue could finally understand what the program was about.
However, even if you can understand what people on stage are saying, you still don't understand the meaning behind their words, and you can only listen with a blank expression.
"Why don't we try a different channel? After all, this is a local specialty program. It would be strange if you could understand it. Even I sometimes don't quite get the jokes."
Meros immediately noticed the bewildered look on Lin Xiyue's face, so he kindly offered a reminder and his own suggestion.
"Hmm...good idea! ╰(*°▽°*)╯"
Without a second thought, Lin Xiyue immediately nodded in agreement and quickly put it into practice.
So, she deftly picked up the remote control and switched between interstellar channels at lightning speed, flipping through several screens in the blink of an eye.
Finally, she set the remote to a channel that was clearly for shopping.
The page that appears before us also contains something strangely shaped, but it is slightly more normal than the previous one.
Fortunately, its shape is roughly symmetrical, so at least it won't be too dazzling or uncomfortable for Lin Xiyue.
However, the only drawback is that everything on this thing seems to be a bit too much, far more than one could have imagined.
For example, its short, thick thighs and long, nimble fingers are several pairs more than those of humans or other animals.
When Lin Xiyue first saw these things, she was somewhat dazed. It felt as if there wasn't just one thing standing on the stage in front of her.
