Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 235 – 235 – Learning Human

Miro didn't move or speak as he watched the video showing his little brother talking to Leva. Even the big tall man's face didn't show any meaningful expression.

"It's finished." Trevor, who was holding the tablet showing the video, said.

With his body shaking violently, Miro got up and walked quickly, leaving the other colonists who were still gathered there.

"Actually, what happened to Miro's little brother?" Tom asked. "I've heard the story, but I can't really understand it. So, did he make a pact with a demon or something?"

"From the story in my tribe, it's not a demon, but a god from this land," Alice responded.

Alice's words immediately caught the attention of the others.

"God, you say?" Yvonne raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the god of this land. The entity in charge of the guardian spirits."

Manu turned his head to Gwen. "What do you think as a psychic, Gwen?"

"Honestly, I don't know." The blonde-haired woman shrugged. "The concept of guardian spirits in this place is also something new to me. Like I said before, psychics on earth have only ever encountered the spirits of the dead."

"So, you don't know how to beat them, I suppose?" Leva sighed.

Gwen just answered with a slight nod.

"Errrr… You want to fight a god?" Alice grimaced.

Leva left her friends without another word, following Miro, who was now sitting on one of the rocks by the river.

"We will save your little brother." Leva stopped her steps a few meters behind the big tall man.

A soft chuckle escaped Ivan's mouth. "Do you know how?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure we can find it. You don't want Ivan in the hands of whatever is holding him, do you?"

Ivan's chuckle turned into laughter. "We're dealing with something we don't know anything about. At the very least, we got some information about artificial intelligence from Trevor's knowledge. As for whatever it is… Ah, we don't even know what to call that entity."

"Are you going to give up…."

"I'm not giving up, Leva." Ivan cut off the conversation. "It's just… Well, I want to be alone for a while, I guess. I'll get back to you guys later."

Leva rubbed his face. "Ah, I'm sorry… Then I'll be back now. If you need someone to talk to, I'm ready to listen, Miro."

"Thanks, but now I really want to be alone."

"See you later." Leva then left, leaving the big man alone.

Well, Miro needs time to mourn, after all.

Gwen stood naked in front of the digging centipedes' holes. Her eyes closed, and her brow furrowed. It seemed she was concentrating.

"Actually, I wanted to cover your body because I learned that it was the deed of a gentleman. However, seeing your behavior in everyday life, then I decided to respect your nudist way of life." Trevor walked over to the blonde-haired woman. "I hope you're not offended."

Still closing her eyes, Gwen chuckled. She then turned to face the android. "Well, I'm not at all offended. I'm just glad you left me undressed."

"Well, I don't wear clothes myself." Trevor chuckled too. "So, what exactly are you doing?"

Gwen looked at the holes again. "Perhaps because of the various things that happened to us and the mental stress I feel, I've never told you about what I feel from inside these holes."

Trevor crouched before the pits. "From the scans I did, I found that these holes are very deep. So, can you feel what the psychics who do the expression feel near the deepest holes in the earth?"

"You know that, don't you?" Gwen smiled. "Well, like an android in your position, it's only natural that they give you a lot of information. Yes, I feel a kind of aura that is similar to earth, but at the same time, it's different. I feel something evil."

"May I ask?" Trevor looked at Gwen, who nodded immediately. "During the accident on that big space expedition ship, were you able to feel anything?"

Gwen's mouth opened slightly. Instead of answering right away, she clutched her chin, looking like she was starting to think.

"Come to think of it, I felt it too, Trevor… A kind of aura. Maybe it was because of the chaos at the time that I overlooked and forgot." Gwen's tone grew more serious. "However, I don't know if it's the same as how I feel in this place."

"We can check." Trevor rose to his feet. "By repurposed one of the escape pods to go into space. Maybe we can find the cosmic giant there."

Gwen's chin dropped. It took a while for her to finally respond. "You're kidding, aren't you? There's no way I'd go into outer space with the bare minimum of equipment just to check if what I feel here is the same as there."

"Oh, looks like my idea was too much." Trevor shrugged. "I apologize."

"Besides, my psychic abilities keep fading." Gwen sighed. "What I feel now in these holes is getting dimmer."

"Well, according to research, mental states will also affect the special powers of genetically engineered humans." Trevor nodded. "But, there's actually one method to awaken that ability of yours again, Gwen."

"What's that?" Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Because it's a secret that can scare people like you." Trevor began to explain. "Sensitive parts of your body should be electrocuted with high voltage."

Gwen's eyes widened. With twitching lips, she asked again. "What do you mean by sensitive parts?"

"Your nipples, your breasts, your groin, your genitals, your buttocks, buttholes, soles of your feet, your waist, and worst of all, your armpits," Trevor explained.

Gwen's eyes went wide. She fell silent again.

Holy shit. How come I never found this in the guide?

"Would you like to try it?" Trevor shrugged. "I can make tools from various parts lying around."

Gwen shook her head. "Hell, no. Sounds painful."

Trevor suddenly laughed so hard that his back arched back. And for the umpteenth time, Gwen was speechless.

Slowly, Trevor's laughter faded until it finally stopped. "Well, I guess my joke didn't hit you. I still have a lot to learn."

"What?" Gwen gaped, but in the end, the blonde woman laughed loudly. She even wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Ah, thank goodness my joke was funny."

"No." Gwen shook her head again. "It's not your jokes that are funny, but your behavior."

This time it was Trevor's turn to be silent for a moment. "I see… Hey, how about I share my recording of this meeting with the guys? Maybe they'll like it. They can replay the scene where you're naked."

"Why, all of a sudden… Ah, you're joking again. Please just share the video. I don't mind. Hell, I even dared to be naked in front of them in person."

"Ah, that's right… And I'm sorry."

Gwen raised an eyebrow again. "Apologize again for what?"

"Perhaps this talk about your nudist way of life reminds you of your parents. Your father likes to show his nudity before you, and your mother is an over-the-top seducer. Also, for whatever reason, you're being told to go naked all the time in the experimental facility, so maybe that's why you are so it's like this. And besides, you're taught about the beauty of the human body that needs to be shown to many people. It reinforces your tendency to stay naked… I also don't know why they gave me information about certain people in that experimental facility… I mean by certain the genetically modified people who were on that big expedition."

Ugh. Now you're reminding Gwen of that, Trevor.

"They're not my parents." Gwen looked the other way. "They're just scientists sent to watch my progress."

"How about I tell you that I can help you heal from those traumas? Well, that's if you actually hate the desire to show your body and flirt too much. However, if you enjoy it, that's fine. It's better to let it go." Trevor slightly approached Gwen.

"Now I ask you, Trevor." Gwen smiled meaningfully. "Do you have a program for counseling in you?"

"No, but from my data on humans…"

"I didn't mean to offend you, Trevor. Much of what you do or talk about in your daily life doesn't reflect that you know humans well." Gwen tapped the android on the shoulder. "Again, I'm not saying this to offend you."

"Ah…." Trevor let out a sound as someone sighed. "What you said was true… Even now, I don't understand anything about that offended feeling."

"But, that doesn't mean you can't grow." Gwen flashed a big smile again. "Now you meet different people, no longer scientists who mostly think about their research or rigid members of the military. You've met us, people with different traits and personalities. You can learn from them. And if you need help, you can always ask me anytime. Well, as long as it's not when I'm pooping or pissing. While I'm taking a shower, you may ask."

Trevor chuckled. "Ah, that seems like a good joke. The proof I wanted to laugh. Okay, Gwen. Thanks for the insight. I'll ask you while you shower."

Gwen shook her head. "Actually, my joke just now was awful. And if you can, don't ask when I'm taking a shower, please.. Even though I don't mind being seen naked by you, it's still creepy when someone comes to me in the shower."
