Alien Knights

The reason why Todd thought of the "Electromagnetic Railgun" when he saw the behavior of the albino girl was actually because the opponent's series of actions were very similar to the launch form of the railgun.

First of all, let’s talk about the launching principle of the electromagnetic railgun. The gun body is generally composed of two parallel long straight guide rails, and a slider with a small mass is placed between the guide rails as a projectile. When the two rails are connected to the power supply, a strong current flows in from one rail, and when the slider flows back from the other rail, a strong magnetic field is generated between the planes of the two rails, and the current-carrying slider will be ejected at a very high speed (in theory, it can reach sub-light speed) under the action of the Ampere force.

In contrast, the two long parallel rails of the rail gun are the girl's outstretched arms facing each other; the smaller slider is the iron arrow; and the blue "lines" on her body should be the reason for the strong current.

However, it is obviously not the time to consider these popular science knowledge now.

Toddler hid behind the stone table with Rachel and Huggins, watching the second electromagnetic cannonball whistling overhead, blasting a rock as tall as a person in the cave to pieces, shrunk his head unconsciously.

"Get out!"

Hearing the girl's sharp yell, Todd covered his head, looked at the woman beside him, and asked eagerly, "How did you get in touch with her in the past?"

Rachel looked at the gravel all over the ground, and said with panic on her face: "In the past, we only talked with each other near the entrance of the cave. This girl didn't make things difficult for us at that time. I don't know why she suddenly became so angry today. And this strange ability, it doesn't look like lightning at all!"

Todd turned his head and said in his heart: This is indeed a power of the lightning department, but it converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. But this kind of attack-type ability similar to "Electromagnetic Railgun" is really strong enough to break the dimensional wall compared to the past ones that spray flames and release poisonous gas.

Huggins tightened his armor, raised his long sword, and tried to get up: "Chief, if I can find a chance, maybe I can get close to her and subdue her."

Todd quickly grabbed him and shook his head desperately: "Trust me! For that kind of attack, the armor on your body plus the ability of "Successor" can provide defense power, but it is a blank sheet of paper!"

Todd glanced at the top of the cave that was dyed into a dazzling blue glow, thinking quickly in his mind.

『We have to find a way to let the other party know that we have no malicious intentions. 』

Todd suddenly remembered that when he lived in the monastery in the past, Huggins could always pull out some food anytime and anywhere, and he suddenly had an idea.

He patted Huggins' armor: "Have you brought any food?"

The latter was a little surprised by this question, but still hurriedly untied his armor, and took out half a piece of whole wheat bread, a boiled egg, an apple, a handful of gooseberries, and a small half of ham from the cloth pocket at his waist...

Todd watched the pile of food on the ground getting higher and higher, opened his eyes wide, glanced at Huggins' cloth pocket, and a thought came to his mind, could it be the legendary "dimension bag"?

Fortunately, Huggins finally shook his head at Todd after pulling out the last bundle of dried pods.

The latter took a deep look at the other party, picked out the boiled egg from the pile of food, and moved it towards the girl along the ground.

After a moment, the screaming stopped.

Todd carefully exposed half of his head from the stone table, and found that the albino girl was holding the egg, staring at him motionlessly, her eyes full of vigilance. He bent down to pick up the apple from the ground, put it near his mouth, took a bite, and threw it at the other party. Then, bread, ham, gooseberries... Todd took a bite first and then threw it to the girl.

In the end, the albino girl gradually lowered her vigilance. Holding the food in her arms, she retreated to the other side of the cave, eating quickly while carefully watching the movement.

For the next hour, the three of Todd knelt behind the stone table in a strange posture and had a conversation with this "hard-line" alien.

Due to living in isolation for a long time, the girl's language function has slightly degraded, but simple communication can still be carried out. From her fragmented words, Todd learned a sad past from her: the girl's name was Cosette. When she was very young, her memory was vague, she only remembered entering this cave with her parents. The parents told Cosette not to run around, and they would come to pick her up after a while. The girl believed her parents' words and stayed in the cold and damp cave, drinking the spring water of the cave when she was thirsty, and catching insects and small animals in the cave when she was hungry. This wait is several years.

Todd clearly understood what the so-called "return" in the mouth of Cosette's parents meant. He also vaguely knew that the girl in front of him whose intelligence level was no different from ordinary people might not have guessed that cruel fact. However, Cosette made out the human figures of her parents out of clay, and put her desire for a family in her fantasy. Perhaps... For her, dying slowly in a false but warm dream in this cave is better than living in endless despair...

"Cosette, do you know how birds train their children to fly?"

Watching the girl shake her head, Todd continued: "They bring the youngsters whose wings have not yet grown to the edge of the nest, and then push the young birds out, forcing them to learn to fly in the air."

Todd slowly stood up from behind the stone table and looked at the girl in front of him: "You can't stay in this nest forever, just like a baby bird can't stay under the wings of its parents forever."

Cosette took a step back, and said in a strong tone: "I will not leave Mom and Dad!"

"And what if they die?"

Todd glanced at the clay figures in front of him, and pushed forward with his hand, the two statues representing the girl's parents fell to the ground and became two pieces.

"No!!!"

Cosette let out a loud cry, she took out the iron arrowhead from her pocket, straightened her arms, and the blue light on her body appeared again.

Huggins stood up and stood in front of Todd; Rachel stretched out her right hand, concentrated, and used "mind force" to forcibly lower the girl's arms.

Todd walked up to Cosette, looked at the teardrops overflowing from the pale pink pupils of the other party, sighed, and said slowly: "I must admit that the process of learning to fly is indeed frustrating and painful. But if a bird survives only by feeding, after the death of its parents, it can no longer find food in the nest, so it can only treat the corpse of its parents as its last meal... So, Cosette, try to learn to adapt to the painful world outside..."

A person with such a strong body like me has the flu! Acute infection of the upper respiratory tract, speechless, non-stop coughing. The high fever reached 40.4 degrees, my limbs were weak, and my whole body was sore and limp. Desperately coded 2K with my mobile phone...
