heavy fog

"The third echelon, please call back! The third echelon?"

The environment of the universe is complicated, and there are often electromagnetic particles that interfere with communication. Originally, this kind of thing is nothing, just fly over that area.

This kind of black and square battleship is the largest in the expeditionary force of the Holy Empire, and it belongs to the regular army.

It may be possible to crash one or two ships in an unknown crisis. The entire echelon of twelve warships disappeared together, which has not happened yet!Gaining a crushing advantage in the first battle of the Beluga Galaxy gave the soldiers of the Holy Glory Empire too much confidence, and the positioning of the Beluga Galaxy fell into a "chaotic and backward" position.

As for the failure of the two rounds of confrontation with the Deep Blue Kingdom—it was someone sent by the Holy See, and only the top military officials knew the news and results.

Morvia claims to be the first country in the Beluga Galaxy, but it is only at this level. In the eyes of most people in the Holy Radiance Empire, the galaxy behind the Red Spider Nebula is like a group of barbarians who can use gunpowder. No matter how fierce it is, it will be in vain.

Twelve warships are more than enough to accept the surrender of a secret base of a barbaric country!

Finally, there was a chi-chi sound in the light wave communication, intermittently: "... There is a lava eruption, and the planet's gravity seems to have... changed."

The liaison officer in charge of this area frowned.

Before searching the star field in the occupied area, the cosmic space in the targeted area must be detected, which is like checking the weather forecast when going out on a long voyage.

The planet that sent the message of surrender has a thin atmosphere, rock layers on the surface, and a sharp temperature difference between day and night. The star is a middle-aged and stable celestial body. The star activity is not violent, and the space of the galaxy is also very stable. There is no sudden outbreak of irresistible disasters. possible.

"Raise your height!"

There was only a brief electric tone on the com channel, and nothing else.

Light is already the fastest in interstellar transmission, but this mobile communication receiving platform is still a certain distance from that planet. It takes 3 minutes for the communication to reach here, which means that it takes 6 minutes to wait for a sentence to be finished. to hear the echo.

The job of a liaison officer is such a hard job. Unless the communication partner is only a few seconds away from you, most of the time is spent waiting.

"..."

Until the 7th minute, there was no sound from there.

After waiting patiently for No. 15 minutes, the communication channel suddenly became clear, and no sound was used.

"The third echelon?" The liaison officer looked nervously at the indicator lights showing the signals, and found that the lights of the twelve warships were all on.

"Received, the enemy base has been blown up." A clear voice came from the channel.

"What? Is this a trap of the Morvians? And what about you, your captain?"

"Two of our spaceships have suffered some damage, including the captain's. Yes, this is a trap. The entire base has been equipped with detonators, and the rock formation has collapsed dozens of square kilometers. We may need to retreat temporarily."

The liaison officer breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it's okay, anyway, he just needs to submit the report according to the procedure.

"I'll contact you in half an hour, and may God shine forever."

"Shenhui... shines everywhere."

The blue-robed cleric at the other end of the communication terminal had dull eyes and was still holding the earphone in his hand. After saying the divine brilliance, his whole body trembled suddenly, as if waking up from a nightmare.Immediately turned around and looked around.

He suddenly found that under his feet, a thorny metal cage grew out of the floor of the deck, which had firmly locked his calves in it, and the metal bars were still slowly elongating and bending, climbing up his waist and thighs .

"Do not--"

Only then did the blue-robed clergyman realize what he had just encountered, but the communication facility in his hand had been snatched away by an elongated metal strip, followed by the entire console connected to the instrument being stripped off. .

The blue-robed clergyman, who was about to use a supernatural attack, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He stretched out his hand and found that the collar of his combat uniform had been torn, exposing his shoulders, neck and right arm. There was a strange smell of medicine, and there were two needle holes in the veins of his arms.

He widened his eyes in horror, and found that his colleagues were all trapped on their seats by metal bars, some had lost consciousness, and the rest had lost their eyesight, struggling to shout something but could only utter vague ravings.

"Monster... Devil!"

The pupils of the blue-robed clergyman shrank. He was hypnotized by drugs for a while about the explosion of the Morvia base, and then he spoke in a daze.

There are also psychic powers in the Holy Glory Empire, but in the eyes of the believers, it is the power bestowed by God. When controlling people, it is an absolute power to suppress, and they can feel that they are being controlled—bishops with powers, how can it be possible? Will anesthetic gas be used to assist hypnosis?

"What did you inject?" The blue robe priest looked at the hole in his arm in horror.

In his understanding, anesthetics should be ineffective against believers of gods (supernatural beings). During the long 2000 years of the Holy Glory Empire, the status of the Holy See has not encountered many challenges because it is linked to power. , the main trouble we face is still the kind of metaphorical hedonism.

High-purity drugs were once rampant in the Holy Glory Empire.

Drugs can give people great pleasure. When hallucinations appear in front of them, they can exert several times their mental energy, and the price is that the next ten times the time will be sluggish.

But this effect is enough. Many people who can't improve their abilities can't resist the temptation to use drugs. Finally, they were discovered by the high-level officials of the Holy See and banned collectively. The first group of people who took drugs, no matter how strong they were, would not be addicted to drugs. Harmful consequences also emerged.

With the medical technology of this era, the problem of damage to body organs is not a big problem. They can extract their own genes to cultivate and replace them. The trouble is that those drug addicts have a complete mental breakdown. This tragic phenomenon makes people stay away from drugs in horror.

But the drug hasn't disappeared completely, and it still exists on the secret black market.

Some people who want revenge, people with ulterior motives will always need them, what can destroy a person faster than this thing?

So the blue-robed priest saw the pinhole on his arm when he woke up, and his body trembled in shock.

"Molvia's secret weapon? No, no, who are you? Who sent you here?" He certainly didn't think that this backward white whale galaxy could create such a terrifying mechanical monster.

Not long after he transferred from the Holy See to the military, this clergyman, who was preparing to gain more power through expeditionary promotion, had his logic twisted to his possible enemies, but he couldn't find any suspicious targets. He was able to mobilize such a level of attack latent class Shaped metal creations.

He couldn't figure it out, the metal strips had completely imprisoned his limp body after anesthesia.

The cockpit of the spaceship became a semi-ruin-like empty shell, the instruments were disassembled, the screens disappeared, half of the top and the floor turned into surging and twisted metal strips, and more mechanical arms were pulled on the walls and the main body of the engine , just like the wanton growth of plants, changing the eyes beyond recognition.

"Record the results of the experiment. The triple dose can last for 15 minutes."

A certain mechanical arm bound the blue-robed priest with a click, and the latter felt that his arm was slowly tightened in horror, unable to move and clearly felt that the blood vessels were beating with the heartbeat.

"The side effects are temporarily unknown, and the blood pressure is currently elevated." After the weird mechanical voice finished speaking, a projection appeared in the eyes of the blue-robed priest.

Also wearing blue clothes, the image of this virtual projection looks very weird.

It looks like a young man, but there is a big golden five-pointed star soft hat on his head, two corners hang down to cover his eyes, the middle two corners lie on his shoulders, and the last horn looks like a long hat Decorate the tail, attached to the back.

This kind of image has a very appropriate occupation in Deep Blue Star: fortune teller.

Or wizards playing crystal balls, tricksters, take your pick.

However, fortune-tellers generally wear clothes of mysterious colors, with a bunch of glittering decorations dangling on their bodies, and the soft golden five-pointed star hat, which is too cute and bright, and dark blue star tourists may prefer to regard him as an unsuccessful disguise clown or theater actor.

"Hello, my No. [-] experimental subject." Against the phantom of the golden five-pointed star, he slightly raised his hand, and the metal cage immediately deformed, dragging the blue-robed priest to an instrument that just emerged from the floor.

It can't be explained, just a few catheters were wrapped, and the equipment began to record his body data.

A large amount of hypnotic gas began to be released at the same time.

Facing the terrified gaze of the captive, Xu Ying put his finger to his lips and made a soft movement: "Don't worry, I still need you...you won't die."

The monotonous mechanical sound changes frequency, moving closer to the highly anthropomorphic gentleness, but the words that come out make people shudder, "At least, before I receive new orders or have new judgments about the environment!"

There was complete silence in the damaged cabin.

"The spiritual energy value is three times higher than that of a normal person. In theory... it can actually control the Raymond Gayton mecha, um, except for the king-level mecha. Why do people in the Unicorn galaxy have such power?"

Strange instruments emerged one after another, buckling the head of the unlucky priest, giving different degrees of slight stimulation, and then automatically recording.

At this time, the five-pointed star hat on Xuying's head suddenly began to shine.

The figure made a movement similar to raising its head.

"Zhang Sen?"

"The assigned manipulator is about to wake up, Buyer is dormant... the smart mode is waiting to be switched."

The projection brush disappeared, and the damaged cabin was taken to the dark cabin for isolation and storage. There were eleven other spaceships beyond recognition in the same storage room.

Inside the mecha, the Morvians who were having a heated discussion felt a violent shaking at the same time.

It's like hitting the brakes hard or flipping head-on in a space shuttle.

"what happened?"

These Moulvians are not so much allies coerced by Buyer as they are another kind of captives.

No matter how loudly they quarreled, Buyer ignored them and gave them limited range of activities.

At this time, on the planet where Molvia established a base, a metal monster with a length of more than several hundred meters could be seen twisting out of the flames, and several spaceships that could still see the bow quickly disappeared into its body internal.

It moves like a huge starfish on the surface of the red planet.

The starfish is a ferocious predator, as long as the five tentacles extending from its main body touch it, it will be ruthlessly devoured, but this hideous image is rapidly disappearing.

The suction cups were closed, the uneven surface became smooth, and the 20-meter-long tentacles were folded in half and then folded in half again, finally turning into a bulging triangular fork.

The other four tentacles that are so powerful that they can sweep across the surface of the planet also undergo this change by analogy.

"Clap."

The last huge and regular golden five-pointed star bounced in place and fell to the rock formation.

Then the five-pointed star sat up on the spot in a funny way, the two corners were like fat legs, and the middle corner was tilted like a head.

"hungry."

The Morvian who heard the voice inside the mecha: ...

In the special aseptic room, Zhang Sen woke up in a daze and was at a loss: "Single Karabi?"

Zhang Sen pulled out the infusion tube and respirator, and looked at the room suspiciously.

The base has such good facilities?

"Is anyone there?" Zhang Sen tried to find the surveillance camera in the room. He thought he was being censored, but the military changed his mind again and did not intend to kill him.

"The mechs of the Deep Blue Kingdom need energy and a lot of metal materials." Zhang Sen shouted eagerly.

But this room didn't even have a door, and he didn't know how to meet the base executives.

"hungry."

Zhang Sen was shocked to find that the voice of the five-pointed star was close at hand.

What did this mecha do?How can you speak in the monitoring room?

"Dan Karabi? What did you eat?" Zhang Sen asked nervously, feeling dizzy when he got up.

"...Buyer, don't give me energy...Buyer ate it all."

This time the voice was not broken, but it still sounded weird.

"Who is Buyer?" Zhang Sen was completely confused, and he asked anxiously, "What are you doing?"

"I was looking at Bouyer's boot diary, and the message boards."

"..."

Is there a guy named Buyer on base?Assigned to manipulate the monocarabi?

"Prepare to leave the planet." Dan Karabi read out word by word.

The golden five-pointed star immediately began to walk on the exposed rock surface, still swaying like a penguin.

But the effect now is terrifying. The weight caused by the huge body causes the ground to boom and boom.

Zhang Sen inside the mecha couldn't hear it, he was just surprised by the content: "What, leave? You can't leave!" He risked his life to bring the Raymond Gayton mecha back to Morvia.

"Second, turn on the engine and pretend to be an asteroid... Then, listen to Experiment One."

"What experiment?"

Shan Karabi replied honestly: "Oh, there is a note... Zhang Sen."

"..."

"After checking the message, the single Calabi is 80.00% activated, and the space flight status. Everyone is in the isolation cabin, and it is confirmed. Ten, nine, eight..."

Zhang Sen almost slammed his head against the wall: "What's going on?"

"...Three, two, one! Set sail!"

The golden color of the five-pointed star changed, shrinking itself into a ball, and then flew into the endless space.

"Start-up diary loading... We are entering space at the speed of the fourth universe, and Karabi is waiting for instructions."

Zhang Sen finally understood that he could still hear the voice of the mecha, which proved that he was not at the base anymore!

"Too, space?" Zhang Sen was a little dumbfounded.

"Yes."

"What about the base?"

"Buyer ate."

Zhang Sen felt his mind went blank: "Who is Buyer?"

"Buyer is the option of the second intelligent program, whether to choose it or not." Shan Karabi's smooth dialogue is completely the system's own reply, and it does not need to use the thinking module.

Zhang Sen only heard the horrifying sound of the base being eaten by Buyer, and he didn't even think about the second intelligent program: "Where are the people in the base?!" The last hope of resistance of the Republic of Moldova!

"Crack."

A few seconds later, a phantom with a large golden five-pointed star hat on its head suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Sen, who almost fell back on the bed.

"Temporarily switch the smart program, you only have 30 seconds."

Phantom arrogantly pointed at the respirator and the infusion tube: "This is me, I saved you, I ate the entire secret base of Morvia, the Morvia advocated surrender, the base has been exposed, now I am the base, the base It's me! You said you would take us to battle, now is the time for you to keep your word! Aren't you going to fight for your country?"

Zhang Sen stared blankly at the hat on Buyer's head: ...Single Karabi?

"This is a virtual projection." Buyer grabbed the five-pointed star fiercely, and the latter could actually make a grievous cry, "What you see is not real! The real single Karabi is flying, and you all In its belly!"

"..." The amount of information is too much.

"No, who are you?" Zhang Sen was dizzy.

"When the Deep Blue Star scientists created me, for some reason, they were in a hurry to produce the product. They didn't have enough materials, so they built me ​​on a single Karabi. We are two intelligent programs sharing one body!"

What popped into Zhang Sen's mind was that the Deep Blue Kingdom would really save costs.

Wait, that means he brought back a two-for-one mecha? !
