Report

The voice that came from the screen was Lucy's. Obviously, the girl had acted as a translator, giving everyone the most intuitive understanding.

On the screen, the captain of the Erosa continued, "When I received this mission, I knew it was a one-way ticket. The empire will not allow those of us who know to return. Of course, our reward for this trip is exceptionally generous. Those boys are cheering for the reward, but they don't know that a large part of it is actually their pension. "

This was definitely a one-way ticket, and the entire crew of the Erosa had received the most generous reward in history. However, only the captain knew the secret, and the others were required to sign a confidentiality agreement. They were not allowed to reveal their reward to their colleagues in order to avoid arousing suspicion. Since all the work was done, the crew thought that they were the only ones who received the generous reward, but they didn't know that from the moment they stepped onto the Erosa, they were heading towards the Gates of Hell.

Due to the confidentiality agreement, the crew only knew that they were transporting a special group of passengers. According to the captain, there were precedents in the history of the empire of secretly transporting troops to the battlefield in the name of ordinary people. Although the crew had questions, no one would find out the truth unless they didn't want the money they had already received and even had to break the laws of the empire.

"These poor people, and I'm not one of them. However, the empire has promised that my children and family will be taken care of, and that's enough. Originally, if everything went well, we would have arrived at our destination in the 15th Adahua Planet, the Lydian Domain at the edge of the universe. The passengers on the third floor will be exiled here forever, until the big shots of the empire think it is time to restart, then they will take them back, right? "In the image, the man revealed a helpless smile," As for us, we must die there. When the ship reaches 6, with just a press of the button, the defender will give us the end according to the previously set program. "

"Yes, everything should have been like this, if those accidents hadn't happened."

A week after the departure of the Erosa, a crew member finally discovered the anomaly on the third floor. The people working on the third floor gradually disappeared, but the captain ignored them. This attitude puzzled the crew, and the captain completely sealed off the third floor, cutting off all connections. What frightened the crew was that when the passageways leading to the third floor were closed one by one, no one ran out. It was as if everyone inside had disappeared.

At that time, there were hundreds of crew members serving on the Erosa, and there were at least a hundred crew members on the third floor who were responsible for the transfer of supplies and daily maintenance. But even when the last door was closed, no one protested against it. No one knew what was on the third floor. Under the torture of fear, they finally broke into the main control room and demanded an answer from the captain.

"I was going to find some excuse to keep delaying, but they came out. I don't know what went wrong. Maybe the device that the big shots thought was absolutely safe wasn't. No matter what, they came out. Even though there weren't many of them, they destroyed two passageways and surged into the second floor. I don't know what those things are. I only saw the word 'Sentinel' on one of the documents. That should be the name of those things. "

"Our guards and the Sentinels clashed fiercely on the second floor. Even though there were only five Sentinels, our guards were no match for them. It wasn't until a group of Demonic Neon soldiers from the Empire attacked that the Sentinels were destroyed. We repaired and reinforced the armor plates of the passageways to ensure that those things wouldn't appear from the same place. Ironically, the Demonic Neon Modified Soldiers that were supposed to monitor us suffered heavy losses because of this sudden incident. "

However, the situation did not improve because of the appearance of the Sentinels. The crew knew the purpose of this trip, and no one was willing to die with the Sentinels on the third floor. They asked the captain to change the voyage. The captain reminded them that the empire had already grasped their family's situation when they signed the confidentiality agreement. If they didn't follow the plan, their families on Adahua Planet might be implicated. As a result, the crew almost fell into despair.

"But something even more despairing happened" In the picture, the captain held his face and said, "Due to the appearance of the Sentinels, the battle affected the power room, causing one of the Qujia devices to malfunction. When the ship's engineers discovered it, we discovered that the warped space was out of control. So for the next half month, the Erosa kept shuttling between the warped space and the universe. We no longer know where our destination will be. Everything is unknown. "

"But if we knew that we would end up here, I think we should have detonated ourselves in outer space. That way, we wouldn't have suffered as much as we do now, right? Unfortunately, Elusa did not arrive at the Lydian Domain, and we were forced to land on a planet inhabited by devils. "

The captain disappeared from the screen, and then a Saber Demon's face flashed across the screen. As the camera zoomed away, a large group of Saber Demons could be seen surging into the hull of the ship, fighting fiercely against the guards and the remaining Demonic Neon soldiers. The scene kept changing, and one could see that the battle had affected almost the entire Erosa.

The captain reappeared on the screen, "As you can see, the natives of these planets are rushing in crazily. Our resistance is simply not enough to repel them. He could only shrink the defensive line, but even so, they would quickly rush in. Everything is over, yes. But we still have one last trump card. That's right, it's used to kill our defenders. Those emotionless killing machines, their implanted orders to kill all life in the ship. Clearly, the natives of those planets are also within the scope of life. "

The scene suddenly flickered, and a flame could be seen behind the captain. The captain hurriedly glanced behind him and pressed a button. Then, a cold light flashed across his chest, and a rough iron spear pierced through it! He seemed to be in disbelief and lowered his head to take a look. Then, he was thrown to the side. It was a Saber Demon. He tilted his head and looked at the camera. He stretched out his hand and shook it. Then, he shouted and raised his spear to smash it.

The scene ended.

When Allen regained his senses, he discovered that the virtual scene created by the Cloud Drop System had already disappeared. It seemed that the connection between them and the database had been removed. The captain's video recording still shocked them greatly, and even Lucy remained silent for a long time. Now they knew why this colony ship was on Nether Domain Star, and at the same time, they knew what was on the third floor of the ship.

However, what exactly was the sentinel that Adahua Planet wanted to secretly transport away? If the Ada Chinese opened their own artificial weapons, why did they have to quietly dispose of them? Also, it was clear that there was no information about the devil's praise in this video. It seemed that there was no connection between the Erosa and this Origin Tool. Probably, the information about this Origin Tool could only be excavated from within the Saber Demon.

This was almost an impossible task.

"Heavens, Miss Lucy. Those big fellows were actually created by you. Do you have a way to control them? "William asked.

Lucy shook her head and said, "I've never seen these guys before, let alone heard of the existence of weapons like sentinels. Perhaps you won't believe it, but I have almost a third of the data in the Royal Library. "

She nodded her head and added, "As members of the royal family, we have asked to be familiar with the history of Adahua Planet since we were sensible. Only by knowing history can we clarify the responsibilities of every member of the royal family. But there has never been a record of a sentinel in the history I know. The biggest possibility is that this part of history has been artificially deleted … "

"It seems like there's a dark history that can't be seen anywhere." Allen sighed.

Lucy was silent for a long time before she said, "There is no shortage of wars in Adahua Planet's history. In the last thousand years, there has been a rare period of peace. However, the open and secret battles between the royal families have never stopped. However, in other ways, the battles are more restrained." Those sentries could very well be the product of a power struggle from two thousand years ago. I am certain that the hands of these weapons are stained with blood, which is why they need to be secretly disposed of. No one in power would want their hands to be stained with blood in their political career. Once they gain power, it is only natural for them to immediately destroy all relevant files and evidence. "

"No matter what, we finally know that we can't go to the third floor." Allen picked up Qianjun and said, "Let's go to the power room. Cut off the power so we can get out of here. "

Lucy nodded, "That's the only way we can leave. Otherwise, as long as the Saber Demon closes the passageway, we'll be trapped here."

"Let's go. I miss the dormitory at the base a little now." Welik sighed.

Lucy opened the door and the few of them left the data room. As the automatic door closed, Lucy took a deep look at the main console through the gap. She knew that once the door was closed, this part of history would be sealed forever. From now on, only the four of them knew the past of the Erosa.

"Are you alright?" Allen asked softly. He saw that Lucy wasn't in a good state of mind.

"Nothing. Let's go to the power room." Lucy smiled. No matter how she looked at it, her smile was a little forced.

She took a deep breath and thought for a moment before drawing up a route, "Follow me."

Half an hour after they left, a group of Saber Demons searched the door of the data room. Seeing the metal plate that had been pried open, a Saber Demon left the team. A moment later, Kamu strode over. He pushed away a few warriors and saw the exposed circuit card slot under the metal plate. The general smiled sinisterly, "Open this door for me. These rats must be hiding inside!"
