Chapter 1713 The Secret of the Navigator (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Beneath the dim, shattered void, a figure landed on the twisted edge of the alloy.

The figure was blurry and indistinct, with a faint purple glow, and its outline appeared to be that of a young man.

The distorted gray light surrounding the young man converged upon him the moment he appeared, like a venomous snake spotting its prey.

The distorted pollution writhed violently in the void, shaking from the bottom of the world to its surface, causing the pitch-black void to ripple with wave-like patterns.

The young figure in the radiance stared at the gray light for a moment, clearly stunned.

Clearly, he had not anticipated that these gray lights possessed such properties.

But even as these gray lights surged, his body did not stop; instead, he leaped and jumped directly off the edge of the spaceship.

The distorted gray light surged forward in an instant, stirring the void into a vortex, and rushed towards the young man's figure.

In an instant, these gray lights were almost upon the young man's figure, appearing behind him.

At that moment, a faint purple glow enveloped the young man's entire body, and some kind of disturbance from the bottom of the world was transmitted to the surface of the world.

An invisible wall seemed to appear behind the youth, blocking the gray light that resembled a venomous snake.

However, the invisible wall was quickly 'bitten' open by the gray light, and the swarming gray light rushed forward at an even more violent speed.

However, due to this brief delay, the young man's figure had already reached the center of the entire dark deep space.

An old-looking metal door stands here, its surroundings so clean that there is no gray gleam.

The moment those gray lights chased after them to this point, layers of invisible patterns lit up around the door, resembling a magic array composed of intricate runes.

The gray light swam around the runes, then crashed into them like a venomous snake, beginning to devour them frantically.

In an instant, these runes began to flash violently.

The young man turned around, leaning against the metal door, looking out at the gray light.

The runes in the void grew dimmer and dimmer, while the sweeping gray radiance was also completely exhausted.

Finally, when the last ray of gray light disappeared, the shimmering rune array, though much dimmer, eventually stabilized.

Immediately afterwards, the wisps of runes floating in the air gradually dissipated and returned to transparency.

The young man leaning against the metal door also looked up and looked around.

He was now in a huge cabin, the contents of which had been completely erased. Two huge round holes stood at either end of the cabin, their edges covered by a faint gray glow that shimmered in the dim starry night, as if waiting for something.

The gray light that had just followed the young man into the cabin was only a small part of it.

The young man withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and looked at the metal door behind him.

The entire compartment was almost empty; everything had been destroyed, even the alloy at the edges was abnormally twisted.

Only the metal door and the area around it remained intact, without even a speck of dirt.

The magic circle that had just lit up seemed to indicate that the metal door was being protected by some invisible force.

Judging from the location of this metal door, it seems to lead to the next compartment—the very front and head compartment of the entire spaceship.

The young man raised his hand, his palm, covered in purple light, touching the metal door.

Although the metal door has the shape of a door, the shape where the door meets the wall is perfectly seamless, without any gaps. It is just that some unique patterns have been specially made to distinguish the door from the surrounding walls.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be a real 'door', but rather a door painted on the wall.

Moreover, the door had no handle or keyhole. The only thing that could be considered a keyhole was a faintly glowing hole located roughly in the center of the doorway.

That appears to be some kind of 'scanning' device used to scan 'keys'.

Its shimmering light suggests that it is still functioning.

The young man took two steps back, lowered his head, and looked at the faint, flickering light.

He tried to reach out and touch the faint light. His hazy body in the radiance gradually became more blurred. The entire radiance that formed his body was trying to squeeze into the hole that was shimmering with a faint light, and through the hole, squeeze into the cabin behind the metal door.

However, just as he was about to squeeze halfway through, his body suddenly stopped.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled his body out of the way he had squeezed in.

As he pulled himself out of his body, the starlight that gradually spread outwards along with his limbs.

Soon, in a very short time, surging starlight overflowed from the small hole, instantly transforming into a giant hand that grabbed the young man's body.

At that very moment, illusory runes lit up around them once again.

This time, the illusory array formed by these runes did not attack outwards, but instead contracted inwards.

The runes quickly wrapped around the giant starlight hand, imprinting themselves onto it like gleaming branding irons, swiftly slicing the starlight hand apart.

The starlight hand trembled suddenly, and with a sudden burst of force, it gripped the young man's figure tightly, as if trying to drag him into the depths of the void.

Just then, the young man paused, and purple light surged from the inside out like a tide, unleashing a surge of immense power.

The Starlight Hand seemed unaware that the young man would do this. In a violent and deafening explosion, the huge and empty cabin shook, and the entire Starlight Hand was completely torn apart.

The already dim magic array dimmed further, becoming incomplete, with only a fleeting glimmer of light remaining before disappearing into the void.

The gray light at the edge of the massive breach shimmered faintly, like gray stars hanging in the sky.

Faint starlight, tinged with a greenish glow, scattered throughout the cabin, like sparks disappearing into the night sky, gradually fading away.

I don't know how much time passed, but when everything quieted down again, the scattered starlight could no longer be seen in the darkness.

A figure emerged from the void and hovered in front of the tightly closed metal door.

In that instant, the surrounding gray light suddenly stirred, and the faint, illusory magic circle flickered once more.

He Ao raised his head and stared at the tightly closed door in front of him.

The young man's figure just now was a 'clone' he created by projecting his super memory power.

It's used for fishing.

Clearly, he caught a fish.

Then he turned his gaze to the magic circle behind him that was gradually disappearing.

Judging from the condition of these magic arrays, there should be no powerful 'enemies' around.

The operation of these magic arrays seems to contain some martial arts power, and from the overall structure, they also seem to meet the original Federation's design concept for magic arrays.

However, the strength of this magic array seemed to exceed his expectations.

When he last visited the Navigator, it seemed that there were no angel-level powers on board. The strongest one was just an artificial intelligence, A02, which was attempting to become flesh and blood, reaching the level of a crippled angel, close to that of an angel.

However, the power displayed by the magic array now clearly has a higher level.

Or perhaps there's some angel-level being hiding on this spaceship, but He Ao doesn't know it.

Either these magic arrays weren't set up by high-ranking beings on the Navigator, but were engraved into it during construction.

There were quite a few angels in the former Federation, so it's not surprising that they could create such a magic array.

The only question is whether the Navigator is 'unique'.

If the Navigator is that very important spaceship, then judging from its name, there should be at least one angel on board.

If the Navigator was just one of the ships mass-produced by the original Federation, then it makes sense that there are no Angels.

These answers may all be found in this first cabin.

After all, the second compartment where He Ao is now is the core control room of the Navigator, and this control room is not protected by any magic array.

Since this first cabin is located at the very front and is protected by a magic array, it must have some special features.

If we can find some deeper secrets about the Navigator, we might be able to obtain some information to solve the current problems.

He placed his hand on the door and stared at it.

With a slight exertion of force, the dim magic circle lit up again and began to shrink towards his body.

It seems that trying to force open this door is not a good idea.

After a brief pause, his gaze shifted to his wrist.

At this moment, he was wearing a mechanical bracelet.

That's the first mate's wristband from the Navigator.

He put the bracelet down and aligned it with the round hole below.

At this moment, the light in the round hole had disappeared, leaving only a deathly silence.

The internal structure appears to have been destroyed long ago.

However, He Ao was not in a hurry, but waited patiently for a while.

Ding--

About ten seconds later, a crisp sound suddenly rang in He Ao's ears.

As a subtitle was projected onto the wristband, obvious gaps appeared around the tightly closed mechanical door.

Immediately afterwards, the mechanical door folded inwards and opened in front of He Ao in an instant.

Bright lights lit up one by one in the darkness, and a sudden gust of wind blew out of the cabin, almost blowing He Ao away.

This is the air inside the cabin.

The compartment is intact and maintains the correct air pressure.

Drop drop-

Accompanied by a sharp alarm sounding as the air pressure dropped, the open door suddenly swung open, about to close.

Something flashed through the void, and a figure immediately defied the air pressure and rushed into the cabin in an instant.

Behind him, the open door suddenly slammed shut.

clack clack-

As if sensing someone's presence, beams of light lit up above He Ao's head, illuminating the entire surrounding area.

Nourishes—

A series of pressurizing sounds followed, replenishing the air pressure in the entire cabin to a normal level suitable for human survival.

He Ao raised his head and walked forward, looking at everything in his field of vision.

The cabin was not large, and could even be described as somewhat cramped. Its overall structure resembled a honeycomb, with hexagonal objects that seemed to be plug-ins inserted into hexagonal slots.

In the very center of the cabin, where He Ao is now standing, is a spherical void.

Inside the hollow stood rows of silver-white boxes that looked like freezers.

A faint glow emanated from the box.

As He Ao approached, the screen on the nearest box suddenly lit up, displaying a series of messages.

That appears to be information about the person inside the freezer:

[Katyn]
[female]
[25 years old]
[Martial Artist]
[Currently frozen]
[wake]
The screen was still lit, and the whole system seemed to be working normally.

He stared at the silver-white metal box and remained silent for a moment.

Then he left the metal box and looked at the other metal boxes.

There are twenty metal boxes here, containing twenty frozen people.

Of them, only 3 were male and the remaining 17 were female.

Going deeper, it seems there's nothing left.

Finally, Heo returned to the first metal box.

He raised his hand and clicked the [Wake Up] button.

drop--

With a crisp sound, a series of sounds rang out from inside the silver-white metal box.

The text on the screen of the metal box also began to change.

[Awakening...]
[mistake]
[Awakening...]
[mistake]
[Awakening...]
Amidst these successive changes, He Ao reached out, grasped the edge of the metal box, and exerted force.

click -

With a crisp sound and a piercing alarm, the metal box was pulled open.

The metal box was empty, except for a bare hibernation protective cover.

He Ao looked at the empty metal box without any surprise.

From the very beginning, he had not sensed any sign of life inside the metal box.

He turned around, walked to the other side, and opened another metal box.

This metal box is also empty.

bang bang bang-

With a loud bang, all twenty metal boxes were opened, revealing nothing but an empty void.

A faint red glow flickered violently on the screen of the metal box, illuminating the entire empty space in an eerie and unsettling way.

He stared at the metal boxes.

The hibernation protective cases inside the metal boxes were all bulging and shaped like different human figures, showing no signs of damage or use.

This indicates that there were originally people inside them.

Something crossed the metal box and devoured the people inside.

He Ao lowered his head and glanced around.

Soon, he reached the last metal box, reached out and pressed on the honeycomb-shaped wall, and found a small hole.

He pressed the mechanical bracelet on his wrist onto the small hole.

Accompanied by a crisp sound and faint text:

[Authentication successful]
The small door in front of him slowly opened, revealing a narrow, silver-white bed and a blurry silhouette.

He Ao walked toward the silhouette of that figure.

Behind him, faint starlight could be seen.

　I'm asking for votes at the beginning of the month.
