Chapter 2081 Traveler in the Birdcage <TOC> Chapter 2083 Perfunctory
Translator: SumTLMan
In a hushed, soundless space.
The mental power received no feedback, the Void Traveler in the birdcage seemed like a lump of dead flesh. But without doubt, the mental power fluctuations Angel had previously detected definitely originated from it.
“Do you possess wisdom? Can you communicate with humans?” Angel asked again.
Silence reigned.
“Were you captured by Boil Gentleman?” Angel inquired once more.
Still, there was no response. The plump version of the Void Traveler seemed to have no intention of conversing with Angel.
Angel pondered: “Did you just say, let your kin go?”
Perhaps the word “kin” triggered the Void Traveler’s point of anger, as it finally transmitted a message again: “Despicable villains, quickly release my kin!”
Angel could feel that, although the message was superficially filled with anger, it covertly carried a hint of unease and apprehension.
Why this unease and apprehension existed was clear to Angel——it stemmed from self-awareness.
The Void Traveler was acutely aware that it had been captured by Boil Gentleman, in a state of dependency. Their strength was incredibly weak, neither able to threaten Boil Gentleman nor Angel, they could only release superficial anger, appearing as if they were expressing resistance, but in reality, they were internally weak.
However, according to Angel’s understanding of the Void Travelers, these timid and weak creatures should always remain quiet and low-profile, right?
Under someone else’s roof, wouldn’t playing dead be safer than speaking up provocatively?
Why then? Was it because… of kin?
Angel turned around, looking towards the other side where a transparent tube was.
The transparent door on the tube was locked by a strange force. To the naked eye, the tube seemed empty, and mental powers couldn’t penetrate it. But he was well aware that a group of Void Travelers was imprisoned inside, perhaps huddling together in fear at that moment.
“Are they your kin?” Angel pointed towards the transparent tube and asked.
“Quickly! Release my kin!” A message of urgency transmitted to the end of Angel’s mental power antennae.
This was the second obvious emotion Angel observed from the Void Traveler, apart from ‘anger’, urgency and anxiety, as well as pleading and hope.
Although the Void Traveler didn’t say anything else, the change in emotions alone let Angel perceive an underlying implication.
Angel reflected: The character trait of the Void Traveler is timidity and avoidance of the world, but from the current situation, it seemed that the bond between their own kind could make them overcome their innate cowardice?
If seen from this perspective, Angel seemed to have a vague understanding of why these Void Travelers kept coming to the ruins, one after the other.
“Did they come to save you?” Angel asked.
Since the Void Travelers were not the same kind as the creatures of the Nightmare Plane, their lingering in large numbers near the ruins obviously had another purpose. A group of Void Travelers not going elsewhere but specifically barging into Boil Gentleman’s trap clearly revealed their motive.
It was highly likely that they came for their kin imprisoned in the birdcage.
“Release them, you group of villains, you must have bathed in the blood of Magic Whale Liani, you will receive the void’s retribution!”
“What is Magic Whale Liani?” Angel asked.
Angel speculated that since the Void Traveler mentioned Magic Whale Liani twice, it was very likely also a void creature, perhaps even their natural enemy.
The Void Traveler still did not directly answer any of Angel’s questions, only continuously emphasizing the release of its kin.
From the way it expressed itself, the logic was actually very clear, with no confusion in its expression. This means that its intelligence is definitely not low; it is not that it cannot communicate about other matters, but simply does not wish to.
Untrusting, and unwilling to communicate.
“It must be here to rescue you.”
“Why would they risk so much to rescue you? Just kinship seems somewhat unreal, perhaps there are some more important reasons? For example, do you hold a high status among your kind? Seeing that you are much fatter than your kin, could it be that you are an important member of your group?” Angel looked directly at the Void Traveler in the birdcage.
The response to Angel was still a tone of urgency, with a hint of hopeless urging.
“It seems you have made up your mind not to reply.” Angel shrugged, deciding to let it be since it would not respond.
After all, when he first entered the Doreen Flower Garden, it was caused by the Void Traveler. Even if it was unintentional, thinking back now, it was still somewhat troublesome.
So, seeing that it would not respond to him, Angel lost interest in further conversation.
Moving past this small interlude, Angel didn’t pay further attention to the Void Traveler in the cage, instead turning his gaze to a workbench at the side.
In this not-too-large dome, the most complex area of energy was this workbench that shimmered with a silver luster.
The complexity of energy was not due to the silver workbench itself, but rather due to the residual bloody scent on the workbench.
Clearly, the void creatures captured by the hunting net were transformed on this workbench, hence the large amount of void creature blood energy remained. Since void creatures belong to extraordinary life forms, their blood naturally carries an energy aura. Accumulating a lot, the energy here would definitely be complex.
The silver workbench was an excellent piece of equipment. After all, the blood of some void creatures contained terrifying properties, and the fact that it could withstand so much extraordinary blood without any issues was noteworthy.
However, Angel’s attention was not drawn to the workbench.
Instead, it was the softly glowing metal sphere placed on the workbench.
Dynamo.
When Angel first saw the dynamo, he wanted to observe it closely, but never had the chance. Boil Gentleman left without taking the dynamo with him, leaving it on the workbench, which created an opportunity for Angel.
Angel’s eyes flickered with a faint spectral light, focusing entirely on this seemingly ordinary metal sphere.
Upon closely observing the dynamo, Angel confirmed some of his previous suspicions.
The gears and pipes on the dynamo were not mere decorations. They all had functions, with some gears and certain pipes being interconnected, seemingly adjusting the energy output.
As for those pipes, though they looked small, they connected to the inside of the metal sphere.
Because Angel could clearly sense the chaotic energy emanating from these pipes.
However, compared to when the chaos source was directly exposed, the unsettling sense of madness was significantly reduced after being encased in the metal sphere.
But it had not disappeared. If one were to perceive carefully, one could still sense those escaping frenzied auras from the pipes.
