Deeply touched by the smile, Tang Ka was dragged to the female clothes area by the girl before he could say anything.
However, he turned around before Chu Zhiyun took off her gray protective suit this time.
He didn’t know why he did that. In the Covenant Alliance, being nude was not embarrassing, like a machine would not be embarrassed to see the internal structure of another machine. As a matter of fact, the people here did not even know what “embarrass” meant.
But for some reason, Tang Ka simply felt that he should… respect her.
Li Yao said in his head, “Huh? Why did you turn around?”
Tang Ka said, “I… I don’t know. What do you mean? What do you want?”
“Nothing. What can I do? I am a man of honor and integrity.. You can rest assured about that. It’s well-known across the universe!”
Li Yao said, “I’m simply interested in the state of your mind and want to study you more deeply!”
“Hey!”
Tang Ka’s messy thoughts were disrupted by Chu Zhiyun’s call.
He looked back, only to see that the girl was not wearing the red dress with gold glitters but a white-and-green dress with a vivid sunflower pattern on it, full of summer vibe.
Tang Ka was captivated, not because of the dress, but because of the smile on her face and the youthfulness behind it.
“I want to listen to the gods’ voice directly, not through the relay of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters. Who dictates that only the Ultimate Benevolence Masters can interpret the will of the gods and that we can’t see and hear the gods directly and know what the gods want us to do?”
Her eyes glowing, Chu Zhiyun said confidently, “If I can’t find an answer in the Covenant Alliance, I’ll search for one in the Imperium. I believe that there must be different theories in that sinful country that illustrate the gods in the opposite way as we do. Then, considering the theories from both ways, I’ll be closer to the truth. That’s why I have to become a Lurker. Tang Ka, is my smile standard? Am I pretty?”
“I… I think so.”
Tang Ka was uneasy, and he did not know what he should look at. He stammered, “Monitor, I think this dress is still too small for you.”
“Oh? Really?”
Chu Zhiyun pulled the hem of the dress and said, “This dress is highly elastic and can automatically fit my curve without hindering me. I’m actually feeling pretty good.”
“But…”
Taking a deep breath, Tang Ka reminded her, “I think you forgot to put on your bra.”
“Oh, you’re right!”
The monitor then moved her arms to her back, trying to unzip the dress.
Tang Ka turned around again, only to feel that the air was thin and that he was passing out.
“Nailed it. It’s your turn now. Come here.”
A moment later, the monitor took a long breath in relief and spoke to Tang Ka.
“Huh?” Stunned again, Tang Ka pointed at his nose. “I’m going to change too?”
“Of course! Why else would I bring you here? Only as a guard?”
Chu Zhiyun picked up a set of male clothes and looked at Tang Ka dangerously. “Mr. Tang Ka, do you want to put them on yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?”
“I… I can do it on my own!”
Under his monitor’s coercion, Tang Ka could only put on the sinful clothes from the Imperium.
He did not know what the clothes were for exactly, probably something between sports and performances. The shirt was an amalgam of broken cloths, with an enormous skull on the chest, and the pants were ragged and full of holes and rivets too.
What the Imperium people considered beautiful was truly creepy!
“What do we do next?”
Tang Ka was uncomfortable wearing these clothes that could tinkle whenever he walked.
Chu Zhiyun smiled, and a piece of light music echoed in the supermarket.
There was no music in the Covenant Alliance, except when everybody gathered and sang after the Ultimate Benevolence Masters to express their admiration for the gods.
Tang Ka had been taught by his mentors that music was one of the evilest things in the universe and the best medium for the extraterrestrial devils to invade one’s head. When people were captured by melodies, extraterrestrial devils would root in their heads.
The mentors had also shown the kids, including Tang Ka, the videos taken in what was called “nightclubs” in the Imperium of True Human Beings. All the people were crazy captives of music and extraterrestrial devils in those videos.
On those evil occasions, fighting, taking in drugs, and public penetrations were not unusual. The reason was simple—music boosted the proliferation of extraterrestrial devils in their heads and completely ruined their brains.
Because of all those videos he watched, Tang Ka was never fond of music. If anything, he was even deeply scared of it.
However, since an extraterrestrial devil named “Grandpa Yao” had already found a way into his head, it seemed unnecessary for him to fear music anymore, right?
Besides, the music was light and delightful, nothing like the videos that his mentors played for them in the past. A golden gate seemed to be opened in front of his eyes, revealing a shining path that led to infinity.
Tang Ka couldn’t help but walk to the source of the music, only to find Chu Zhiyun standing before a peaceful but vigorous illusion.
Inside the 3D light beam was a body of blue water. As the picture zoomed in, green mountains and gold wheat were presented, followed by rising skyscrapers and newly-established towns, as well as the people living in them whose faces were full of happiness.
At the bottom of the light beam were captions—
“Make the first step bravely and change your life today!”
“Choose the Thick Soil Development Group, and choose the best tomorrow!”
“The expedition army of the Imperium will protect your family and your investment. You will be the new master of this new world!”
This was a commercial to attract the investors and colonizers from the rear. There were too many such commercials for the “newly-recovered worlds”.
In the past ten years, although the war between the Imperium and the Covenant Alliance was not over yet, countless citizens of the Imperium thought that the Covenant Alliance had been crushed and that they could make a fortune in the newly-recovered worlds thanks to propaganda.
Therefore, too many colonizers, adventurers, and refugees had come here with their families and their life savings on stinky and crowded immigrant ships.
Now, most of those poor b*stards were stranded in the worlds in the frontline, isolated and panicked under the threat of the Covenant Alliance.
The civilians in the Thick Soil Sector, who took the hit first, must’ve either been killed in the battle or sent to the “holy temples” for purging.
Even so, the beautiful commercial was still extremely appealing and hooked the two ignorant natives of the Covenant Alliance.
At the end of the commercial, a blue ocean and a beach appeared.
In the picture, a tall handsome man and a beautiful woman were hugging and kissing.
Then, a new caption showed up. “The best gift for your love is a new world.”
“There are many similar videos in this place. Many videos actually have plots. They’re called TV series and movies.”
Chu Zhiyun said casually, “Although they’re all make-believe, they’ve captured the daily life and the common behaviors in the Imperium. We can learn to imitate a person of the Imperium through those videos. What do you think?”
“Huh…”
Staring at the gorgeous man and woman who were kissing in the commercial, Tang Ka forgot why he should also learn the imitation.
“They’re ‘kissing’. That’s the name of the action, right? It’s sticking your tongue into the other person’s mouth and licking them.”
Chu Zhiyun said, deep in thought, “It seems to be a common courtesy in the Imperium of True Human Beings. But what’s its point? Can they analyze each other’s genes through the saliva so that they can tell whether or not they can create a stronger and smarter offspring with each other?”
“Well, maybe,” Tang Ka mumbled.
“Don’t say ‘maybe’. We’ll find out after we try it.”
Chu Zhiyun looked at Tang Ka.
“Huh?”
Tang Ka was greatly shocked again.
“Come here.”
Expressionlessly, Chu Zhiyun curled her finger at Tang Ka.
“I… I… Don’t. Wait. You… Wait… Wait!”
Holding his chest, Tang Ka took a deep breath. He felt that the sunflower on his monitor’s dress was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible for him to think.
However, while his head was blank, he suddenly remembered something else.
“Grandpa Yao.”
Tang Ka focused his attention. “Don’t you think you should give us some privacy?”
“What do you mean?”
Li Yao said, as if he were greatly wronged, “I didn’t say or do anything. You can do whatever you want. I won’t stand in your way. I’ll just stay here and watch in utter silence without causing any disturbance. I’m a decent man!”
