The live stream you were watching has ended. We recomnd the following live streams for you.
Guan Tong looked at the prompt that popped up on the black screen, then exchanged a glance with Uenoshi.
"The authorities cut the stream."
"Yeah."
The stream was cut, but that horrifying scene had already been witnessed by hundreds of millions of viewers.
This alien intelligent entity released by the Fire Thief had killed two people the mont it erged from the spacecraft. It was utterly terrifying.
The authorities probably cut the live stream imdiately because they were worried more people would die on-site.
"Did you hear that sound just now?" Guan Tong asked.
Just before the stream was cut off, he faintly heard a low, guttural sound from the scene, as if made by the alien entity.
But with two mbers of the Human Consortium Contact Delegation dead, the scene was in chaos, and there was too much noise to hear it clearly.
Uenoshi, like Guan Tong, said, "I heard it, but I couldn't make out what it said."
"...This blob of black sludge killed two people the mont it appeared. It's a truly dangerous thing."
"How will the Human Consortium deal with it?"
"I don't know." Guan Tong frowned. "To be honest, if I were a close friend or relative of those two people, I'd definitely want to kill this black sludge monster for revenge, regardless of whether it's an alien intelligent entity or not. But..."
"But the Human Consortium, considering the bigger picture, definitely won't do that," Uenoshi finished.
"Exactly. Especially since the Fire Thief stated in the rules that when the rules end in fifteen days, it intends to retrieve this alien entity. If humans manage to kill it during this period, no one can predict what consequences would arise when the Fire Thief fails to retrieve it then."
"..."
Humanity's first contact with an alien intelligent entity had undoubtedly begun in an extrely unpleasant manner.
At this mont, with the live stream cut, hundreds of millions of viewers were frantically posting comnts on various platforms to express their dissatisfaction.
"What the hell, why did it suddenly cut off?!"
"What's happening on-site? Did the contact team all get eaten..."
"Damn, cutting the stream at a ti like this!"
"Regardless, the fact that this alien monster eats people is not good news for humanity."
"I think compared to this sli monster, isn't its spacecraft more valuable for research?"
"Is anyone on-site? What exactly happened? I'm so anxious!"
The barrage of comnts continued endlessly, with no one knowing the actual situation on the ground.
anwhile, the people at the ice field site obviously had no mind to go online and read comnts.
Their attention was entirely focused on that "rag-like blob of black sludge."
The contact team mbers had all retreated several ters away from it, while ard soldiers aid their weapons, ready to open fire at any mont.
"This is an alien man-eating monster! It definitely didn't co with good intentions."
"Just as I thought. I knew the Fire Thief was up to no good. How could it possibly release a benevolent, highly intelligent entity to Tianshui Star?"
"This man-eating monster looks like a puddle of sludge. It seems even less evolved than humans. Is it even useful?"
"No... Although its appearance is truly hard to complint, the technological level of that spacecraft capable of spatial folding or similar abilities far surpasses that of us humans..."
"Did you all—not hear it speak just now?"
Just as everyone was in a state of panic and confusion, a bespectacled, middle-aged man with graying temples and blue eyes from the contact delegation spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent for a mont, then a few voices filled with doubt and uncertainty rang out.
"I think I heard a low voice just now."
" too! That voice was quite distinctive. I thought I was hearing things. Could it have been made by this alien monster?"
"That voice was definitely there. I heard it too..."
As a few people spoke, they suddenly saw the bespectacled man walking towards the alien entity.
This shocked everyone greatly, and they hurriedly shouted to stop him.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't go over there!"
"Is this guy trying to get himself killed?!"
"I saw him on TV before. He seems to be that Suroman who specializes in hypotheses about alien civilizations... I think his na is Louis?"
This man nad Louis, at this mont, completely ignored the shouts of those around him and walked straight towards that puddle of "black sludge," his eyes burning with fervor.
He had loved stories about aliens since childhood. Even though many stories were obviously fake and fabricated by bored people, he tirelessly collected them. After growing up, he even joined a Suroman departnt related to alien exploration, hoping to one day see an alien with his own eyes.
After the fifteenth Doomsday Rule was announced, he was ecstatic. He applied imdiately and successfully joined the delegation, all for the chance to make first contact with the alien entity.
Now the opportunity was right before his eyes—even though this alien entity was not beautiful, but rather exceptionally ugly by human aesthetic standards, and it had just consud two human lives... Louis was still filled with a fanatical interest in it.
At this mont, although everyone was shouting and trying to stop him, no one stepped forward to physically restrain him.
Many people subconsciously hoped Louis would do this. Having soone act as the guinea pig to investigate the alien monster was better than everyone standing around dumbfounded.
Under the gaze of hundreds of tense eyes, Louis had already walked up to the alien entity.
"Hello," he said. "Were you just speaking to us?"
After his question, the entire area fell silent.
In this silence, a muffled, indistinct voice sounded.
"Roo... yes..."
This voice had indeed responded to Louis's question.
Louis was instantly overjoyed, and the others were also thrilled.
It really could communicate! And it could even speak a human language!
Could it be because...
Many people's hearts skipped a beat as they thought of sothing.
Was it related to it having "eaten" two people?
"My, my na is Louis!"
After receiving a response, Louis pointed a trembling finger at himself.
"And you? What is your na? Where are you from?"
"...Food... answer... question..."
As the voice faded, the "black sludge" suddenly moved rapidly past Louis, slithering towards the densely packed crowd!
The surrounding onlookers, gripped by fear, hurriedly scattered and fled.
"Run! The monster is going to eat people again!"
"Open fire!"
"Use items to trap it!"
The "black sludge" was extrely fast, instantly enveloping four or five people. Those few didn't even have ti to scream before they imdiately vanished into the black liquid, a fate worse than falling into a blender.
So Ascendants tried to use items to control it, but it had no effect at all. One person used an item to summon a cage ant to restrict movent, but the mont it touched the "black sludge," it was corroded and destroyed.
So soldiers couldn't hold back and opened fire. Bullets hitting its body had no effect whatsoever, not even hindering its movent.
Just as everyone was on the brink of despair, the puddle of black sludge stopped after devouring the tenth person, collapsing limply to the ground again and emitting a series of low, guttural sounds.
Unlike the sound it made earlier, this ti it didn't seem to produce syllables humans could understand; it was extrely bizarre.
And Louis, who was still standing in place, muttered, "Food... question... To ask it a question, you must provide it with food. This food is..."
He turned his head to look at the terrified crowd, and a horrifying thought surfaced in his mind.
"Is it... humans?"
