"What is this thing?"
Standing by the lake, Gu Tao picked up a stone and threw it at the glowing behemoth, the stone rebounded with a dull thump and then no more reaction.
"Hello, humans."
Humans? Who greets like that?
Gu Tao looked around for the source of the voice, but it seemed to come from everywhere, it felt...
As the strange voice arrived, the glowing figure slowly unfolded, like a blooming flower, quite beautiful. However, what was inside was incomprehensible; there was no person or any device, only a hexadecagonal crystal prism, sleek and transparent, pretty nice to look at.
"Come closer, humans."
The voice, chiming like crystal, came again, and this time Gu Tao finally found the source; it was none other than the crystal pillar in the middle.
"Should I go up?"
