"Here we are!"
When Lin Tuo heard the news, his spirit was shaken, with tension and excitement intertwined in his heart.
After more than a month of voyage, he finally reached the end. Although he can still switch back to the earth many times, in order to ensure safety, his consciousness still stays here most of the time.
The long-term monotony of the surrounding scene can easily make people feel depressed and depressed.
Soon, other people who heard the news rushed over and cast their gazes forward.
"Where is it? Where is it?" Huaxi stared, looking for the target, but in the spirit world, he couldn't see the outside world.
"It's almost here. According to the current speed, we will arrive in about an hour." Hathaway said.
One hour
Huaxi's face collapsed: "Then you said it."
"Why don't you prepare in advance?" Hathaway said plausibly, "And let me tell you, who knows what's going on ahead? What if you run into an enemy while walking? There's no time."
Huaxi was choked and unable to speak, and Sinai, who was still wearing a black windbreaker beside him, pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were also crooked.
During this period of time, she has become accustomed to watching the two quarrel.
Lin Tuo let out a clear cough, attracting the attention of several people, and said in confusion: "Something is wrong. Have you noticed that the spiritual light cluster in front seems to be decreasing?"
Several people were startled and looked around one after another.
"Really." Huaxi didn't hide her surprise.
Along the way, the surrounding background is always like a starry sky. Although the spiritual light clusters are also dense and sparse, they are generally uniform.
However, as the battleship approached the "Ueno star area", the star-like golden light clusters in front of it began to decrease sharply, and some were also dim in color and small in size.
This is clearly not a normal sight.
"Life in the spiritual world is gone." Mount Sinai said sharply with the light reflected in his dark eyes.
Yes, not only the light cluster, but also the spirit world life that accompanied it almost everywhere disappeared. Although the ether is still there and fluctuates evenly, the entire spirit world area in front of it seems to be "empty".
Only a faint blue halo was left on the dark background, blowing like wind and waves.
And the further forward, the more serious this phenomenon is, and soon, there is only a void left around.
"Maybe it was confiscated by the imperial people. After all, life in the spirit world is also very troublesome." Hathaway guessed.
This logic is very clear. For civilizations that cannot enter the spiritual world, they are likely to have been violated by lords or supernatural items during their development.
Then, like the empire, a civilization that can make leaps to the spiritual world will definitely not let the danger at its doorstep be ignored.
It is also a completely logical behavior to "clean up" the lord, and even the spiritual light cluster that may flow into the material world and cause extraordinary items.
"It makes sense, so to speak, at least it proves that we have not gone the wrong way."
Lin Tuo smiled, and the atmosphere in the lounge became lighter.
But even though he said that, he always felt that this abnormality might not only be due to the need for defense, perhaps, there was a deeper reason.
In the silence, time passed minute by minute, and finally, there were obvious fluctuations in the spiritual world in the space ahead.
"Very stable, showing a slow outflow trend, indicating that the society of the empire is in a stable period." Lin Tuo silently made a judgment in his heart.
Hathaway also outlined a land-like plate on the glass curtain wall by surveying and mapping ether ripples:
"We're very close... Hey, there seems to be a detector!"
As he spoke, the search ship's antenna swayed slightly, skillfully, obliquely, and flew towards the void ahead, and there were new things on the screen.
It was a square, small "satellite" shrouded in an energy veil, which suddenly emerged from a corner of the screen, flying along an invisible orbit.
The speed is neither fast nor slow, and the search ship keeps moving relative to it.
With the help of the invisible but real planet to cover himself... In the cabin, Lin Tuo is already ready to fight, and if he is found, he will take action immediately.
Tick tock... tick tock...
In the big lounge, there was no sound, deathly silence, only the mechanical clock that Huaxi brought from the martial arts hall was beeping lightly, reminding everyone of the passage of time.
After an unknown amount of time, that "satellite" suddenly disappeared...and turned to the back of the invisible planet.
This reflects the magic of the spiritual world.
Although invisible, the line-of-sight isolation of the physical planet is still manifested in the spiritual world in another way.
But before a few people were relieved, Hathaway controlled the search ship to make a sensitive turn, and the next second, a second "satellite" appeared from another direction.
Therefore, everyone had no choice but to continue to tense their nerves, and carefully avoided.
At this time, Lin Tuo couldn't help but feel a little worried. If there are enough such satellites to seal off the entire planet, it will be troublesome.
Although they can also take the risk of pretending to be a team returning from a mission, but in that case, the risk is too great.
"There are only two." After waiting for a while, when the first "satellite" came into view again, Hathaway's obviously relaxed voice came from the loudspeaker:
"It should be something like a monitor, but it hasn't completely sealed off the planet, so it can go around."
"But what should we do after entering? If the battleship stops still, it will definitely be discovered." Huaxi said.
Hathaway is not in a hurry:
"It's not a big problem. At that time, I will use the bracelet to maintain remote control of the search and capture ship. Well, in fact, you can see that their operation is regular. I should be able to deal with it by writing an autopilot rule."
"These things don't seem like defensive facilities against the outside world." Mount Sinai keenly analyzed, "I don't know if my feeling is right, but I think they are more like internal monitoring."
"It's possible," Lin Tuo nodded, "and it doesn't look like they were placed for military purposes, otherwise there shouldn't be only two."
He didn't think that a civilization capable of making warships wouldn't be able to make more "satellites."
As for what role it plays, it is not easy to say. It may be similar to many satellites on the earth, and it assists communication
While everyone was talking, the battleship sneaked in while the two satellites were running blank. To be on the safe side, Lin Tuo even used his nightmare ability to try to make the battleship invisible.
Also out of caution, Hathaway didn't tear apart the space at high altitude to observe, but dived all the way to a low-lying area of ether before stopping.
Opened briefly.
"It looks like a field outside," Hathaway reported.
Lin Tuo said decisively, "Enter!"
Behind him, Huaxi and Mount Sinai have already been cleaned up.
At this moment, the three of them were no longer in the rest hall, but stood at the cabin door of the battleship, and they all changed into the casual clothes that those imperial people left in the bedroom.
Lin Tuo used the ability of Inhuman Realm to adjust the details of the appearance based on the facial model analyzed by Hathaway's data, making the appearance closer to that of the imperial people.
Mount Sinai and Huaxi also used the "transfiguration" technique to disguise themselves to a certain extent. This spell is also a course that the two of them have practiced regularly for more than a month.
The three of them looked at each other with apprehension in their hearts.
In the next second, the hatch opened, the pedals spread forward like a carpet, and the energy cover was briefly dented, opening a passage.
"Walk!"
Lin Tuo took a low drink, and the three jumped into it immediately. In the blink of an eye, the passage disappeared, and everything returned to calm. The entire warship moved slowly according to the written program again, hiding in a blind spot for monitoring.
…
…
At the same time, in the empty and silent sea of stars in the real universe, a blue and emerald green planet similar to the earth is slowly rotating.
In the distance, the hot sun burns quietly.
On this planet named "Ueno", on the only land, somewhere on the long intersection line between the city and the field, the air is slightly distorted.
Like a heat wave baked on a hot summer day.
"thump!"
Suddenly, a space passage appeared, and three figures jumped out one after another.
Because it was too hasty, Huaxi, who was behind, stumbled indecently, and immediately rolled and jumped up on the spot, looking around with vigilant eyes like a civet cat:
"Lin Tuo..."
"Safe." In front of him, Lin Tuo, who was standing upright on the spot, said in a deep voice.
As the first person in the team to step into this strange land, he scanned the surroundings with mental power the moment he appeared, and determined the surrounding environment.
In the field of vision, there is an empty road, straight and long, like a dividing line falling on the earth.
The warm and hot sun was pouring down on them, the breeze was blowing, and the oxygen content was similar to that of the earth.
Looking up, you can see the blue and cloudless sky.
On both sides of the road, there are endless green fields. If you zoom out, you will find that there is no one in the vast area near the three of them.
It really looks like Earth here.
If it hadn't been confirmed that he had come to another part of the universe, Lin Tuo even suspected that he had arrived in a certain agricultural planting area on the earth.
"Hathaway?" Looking back, Lin Tuo took out the crystal ball the size of a marble and called out.
"Here you are, put me next to you! Don't take it out casually! I can communicate with you directly, if it's really not possible, you can also communicate with the bracelet!"
Hathaway did not reveal her figure, but her voice appeared in the ears of the three.
Lin Tuo sighed: "How about the search ship?"
"Everything is normal. I can control it by remote control. Don't worry. Even if the contact is accidentally cut off, the clansmen will still drive manually according to the procedure in those few months. They have learned a lot these days."
Hathaway said casually:
"Don't bother me, I'm trying to get in touch with the world's network, damn it, there's something wrong with this gateway protocol, I need some time!"
Lin Tuo, Huaxi, and Mount Sinai looked at each other without disturbing her, and put away the crystal ball. Lin Tuo looked around, resisting the urge to fly and overlook the earth, and said:
"Let's go forward."
Before Hathaway figured out the situation, he was not going to show his strength rashly.
For the same reason, Mount Sinai did not release the "Mage's Eye" spell, trying to spy around, but just tightened the backpack on his body and followed silently.
