Chapter 488 Silent WatchThe spherical creature bounced around in the air, "The adults can't talk anymore."
Ran Ran was slightly startled, and could not help but observe the Flower Eater more carefully, only to see that the Flower Eater suddenly opened its lips, and pointed its pale finger, which was still stained with transparent water droplets, to its mouth.
As He moved, His mouth opened wider and wider.
Ran Ran leaned forward to look, but only saw a dark hole.
The mouth of the flower eater is empty, lacking the most common organ of humans - the tongue.
"Is your family always like this?"
The spherical creature flew to the Flower Eater's shoulder and leaned its heavy body against his shoulder. "Just speak normally. I will answer for you, Master."
Ran Ran was stunned for a moment before she realized that the spherical creature meant that she didn't need to treat it as a middleman for communication. If she had anything to ask the flower eater, she could just ask directly.
"Ok."
The spherical creature twisted its round body, "If you want to ask about the adult's tongue, it's not always like this."
Everyone was shocked. The spherical creature's answer meant that the flower eater was not born without a tongue, but lost it later for some reason.
Would God also be tortured like this?
No matter how you lose something, the process is definitely painful.
Zhong Ning was at the age when he loved to fantasize, and his mind was full of strange ideas. He stared at the flower eater curiously.
"Is your tongue the price you paid? You lost it for something."
The flower eater nodded and shook his head, making Zhong Ning confused.
"Yes and no, what does that mean?"
The spherical creature has its short fur standing up straight, making it look like a fluffy version of a hedgehog.
Although no one could see its expression clearly, and even until now no one knew where its face was, let alone which part of its body it was using to make sounds, the appearance of its erect fur made everyone think of two words - arrogant.
"Silly, what the lord means is that the first half of your sentence is correct, but the second half is wrong."
Zhong Ning concluded with a puzzled look, "The tongue is a price, but it's not paid for achieving something?"
Ran Ran calmly took over the conversation, "This means that this price was imposed by others, and it was not what the flower eater wanted."
The spherical creature nodded twice as a nod of affirmation.
Everyone then suddenly understood, yet at the same time couldn't help feeling terrified.
Can a God be persecuted? Isn't He already above all creatures on earth?
Doctor Bai, the only one present who had both emotional intelligence and rationality, couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
"Shouldn't we have some respect for this gentleman..." He smiled awkwardly, "He is the owner here, and we are on his territory."
Ran Ran tilted her head, "Are we being rude?"
She looked so innocent that Dr. Bai was unable to refute her for a moment.
Zhong Ning was a person who was very good at self-reflection. His face immediately blushed. "Doctor Bai is right. It seems that we have been prying into this adult's privacy..."
"If this Lord really lost his tongue for a very bad reason, then we have just been... offending Him..."
Zhong Ning said as he looked at Ran Ran, "And you, the evil boy..."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You don't even have a respectful title for this gentleman." Ran Ran was pulled aside by Zhong Ning.
"He is a god after all. How can you call him by his name?"
Ranran looked into Zhong Ning's big eyes, which were clearly black and white, and were full of accusations against her, as if she was the most impolite person present.
"I'll pay attention to it later."
There was still doubt in Zhong Ning's eyes, "You really make me worried, evil boy."
Ran Ran couldn't help but smirk, "Is my emotional intelligence so worrying?"
Zhong Ning actually nodded heavily. Ran Ran felt helpless and could only comfort him with the most obvious reason.
"Let's assume that I have just been offending Flower Eater...that sir, but He hasn't reacted at all until now. This either means that He doesn't think that level of offense is offensive at all, or that He won't take any action just because He is offended."
Zhong Ning asked stupidly, "What action?" Ran Ran stroked his neck with his hand, "It's this action."
Zhong Ning's face turned pale with fear. "Will He be like this? He looks easy to get along with..."
Ran Ran finally smiled, "That's what I mean. This Lord is easy to get along with. Even if we are really inconsiderate and offend Him, He probably won't mind, so don't worry~"
Seeing Zhong Ning relieved, Ran Ran looked at his back and lowered her eyes. She just didn't know why this god became what he is now...
Peaceful can be used to describe a god, but intimidating and docile cannot.
In people's beliefs, God at least possesses the characteristic of majesty. After all, He is beyond the world and above everyone else.
Ran Ran followed Zhong Ning back to the team and found that Minister Gao was still digging into the privacy of the flower eater, and Dr. Bai couldn't stop him at all.
Not to mention Minister Heicha, her thinking is the same as Ranran's, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing this.
If you want to know, just ask.
Ranran found it very interesting to see Zhong Ning jumping up and down anxiously but unable to speak.
When it comes to improving emotional intelligence and being polite, convincing her is far from enough. Minister Gao is the most eccentric person in the team.
Ran Ran was smiling and accidentally glanced at the Flower Eater, only to find that He was looking at her.
That observing look was exactly the same as when she first greeted Him.
Ran Ran narrowed her eyes and smiled, "My Lord, do you have any questions?"
He nodded, looked into her eyes, and pointed to his Adam's apple.
Ranran frowned slightly.
The spherical creature spoke again, "My Lord said that if you want to know why He became like this, He can tell you."
The four people who were still arguing nearby stopped instantly.
"Why?" Minister Gao took the lead in expressing doubts.
The Flower Eater nodded to Ran Ran again, and this time there was a look of approval in his expression.
Spherical creature: "The adults said she deserved it."
The flower eater's expression was calm, and the voice of the spherical creature also became calm, and even the tone of voice changed, as if it was really the flower eater speaking.
"Among the millions of people who have come to the world of Flower Eaters, you have made the greatest contribution to the process of [change]."
This time, not only the four people were stunned, but Ranran was also unable to react for a while.
She repeated uncertainly, "Thousands and thousands?"
"The number of humans who have entered the Flower Eater's terrifying cave cannot be described as tens of thousands, right?"
The flower eater smiled.
"The humans on Blue Star don't have any."
This short sentence was like a bombshell exploding in everyone's ears.
“What what!” Minister Gao had a look of doubt on his face, “It’s not just people from our world who have entered the Terror Cave to explore?!”
There was peace in the flower eater's eyes.
"It's a rather egocentric idea, but it's understandable. After all, every world will inevitably think this way before discovering the existence outside the world."
Zhong Ning was stunned, "...My whole worldview collapsed..."
Ran Ran couldn't help but stare at the flower eater closely, "Your Excellency is worthy of being a god. It seems that you know much more than us."
The flower eater shook his head slightly.
"It has nothing to do with whether or not you are a god."
"It's just that my world will meet its doom sooner than yours."
The flower eater looked at everyone calmly.
"Perhaps you would like to know the nature of the Terror Cave."
