After discussing many things about the people of the starry sky with the three guardian giants, Hao Ren realized that these guardians actually had quite a limited understanding of that ancient race—the people of the starry sky used to roam around the universe, and even the Goddess of Creation When I started to study how to pinch villains, those light clusters were still common visitors in the universe, but not long after that, the people of the starry sky gradually reduced their activities. When giants like Muru were born, the people of the starry sky almost stopped showing up. They became a mysterious race similar to "Universe Strange Talk". The main duty of the guardians is to guard the mortal species created by the goddess. They didn't care much about the original race and the ancients. After the people of the starry sky collectively retired, the guardians certainly didn't care about them.
According to the current information, the people of the starry sky have maintained a mysterious and low-key attitude since then. It was not until after the fall of the goddess of creation that they suddenly reappeared and began to clean up the mess left by the guardians all over the world.
And this seems to be inconsistent with their original "image". As a group of hermit creatures, they originally didn't care much about the material universe and ordinary races, and they themselves were not on the hunting list of natural disasters. Hermit, why do you suddenly become passionate about saving the common people
After Hao Ren finished discussing with the guardian giants, Y'zaks said in a low voice, "Have you noticed that the people of the starry sky seem to have expected the 'Goddess Fall'?"
Mulu and the others didn't know much about the clues Hao Ren and his party had discovered about the people of the starry sky, so they said in unison at this moment, "How do you say that?"
"Wandering Planet, Holletta, Ark Fleet, these three civilizations are thousands of light-years apart," Hao Ren folded his arms, "but they received the warning of the natural disaster almost at the same time, and according to the There is intelligence, and there are many other races in the universe who have received warnings. In addition, the people of the starry sky immediately carried out various rescues and support—although they did not fully produce results, their measures were more or less effective. This It means they are already prepared."
At this time, a loud "creaking" sound suddenly came from above. Hao Ren was taken aback by the movement, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Liemendusa who was clenching his fists. The guardian giant was full of anger: "You mean, they knew that someone was going to kill God?!"
"It's just a guess, and the people of the starry sky are acting strangely, and their world view is different from that of ordinary races. It's hard to say whether their actions were intentional." Hao Ren quickly waved his hand to calm Liemendusa, "Besides, we have mastered it now. There is too little evidence. Is it not good to just characterize other people's actions?"
Liemendusa took a few deep breaths. He knew that what Hao Ren said was reasonable, so he finally calmed down.
"The key now is whether the people of the stars are still there," Vivian sighed. "Although they are powerful, they are not the opponents of the crazy eldest son. They are reluctant to protect themselves. They have been running around since the goddess fell. Inform all ethnic groups to take refuge, they have not been heard from for 10,000 years, where should I find them now?"
Inexplicably, that sentence reappeared in Hao Ren's mind: The border of the stars is full of voices of darkness.
"The voice of darkness on the border of stars..." Hao Ren looked at Liemendusa. "Don't you know what this sentence means?"
"There are always many fallacies in the interpretation of the universe by most races. Depending on the level of their civilization, some very simple phenomena in the universe will be explained by them with very complex metaphors. The border of the stars may refer to the edge of a certain galaxy, or It may be the boundary of a large galaxy group. The voice of darkness is impossible to speculate—the universe is full of darkness, who knows which black hole or abnormal space phenomenon they are talking about," Liemendusa shook his head, "But I think if If you want to find the people of the starry sky, at least one general direction is certain: heading towards the oldest galaxy. They are the earliest awakened creatures in this universe, and their home should be located in the deepest part of the central galaxy cluster of the universe, where is the universe The first part to evolve."
Hao Ren was surprised: "Is there an environment where life can survive?"
"There is only a piece of ashes. Although I have never been there, I know that all the celestial bodies have been burned up. Even the new stars recombined after the collapse of the stars have been burned out, and no new celestial bodies are born. There is only a scorching black After all, it is the oldest area of the universe. But the people of the starry sky should still be able to survive in that kind of place: they have survived from the beginning to the present, and they should have adapted to various extreme environments. Since they cannot be found in other places in the universe They, then go to the ashes in the center of the universe and look for them."
"That's a dangerous place..." the data terminal muttered. "The fleet hasn't sent a probe in that direction yet."
"Haven't drones ever been to the Central Cluster?"
"Of course I haven't been there. It's the stellar cemetery, the place where the universe burned first. There is no life there at all. The goddess of creation has never planted seeds in that direction. Naturally, the drone swarms will not go there," the data terminal shook itself, "And to be honest, it's too far there. According to the speed at which the fleet is expanding while building bases, it will probably take many years before the border of the fleet is extended to the range of the central galaxy cluster."
Hao Ren thought for a while: "Let the fleet first send a few pioneer nest weavers to build a batch of branch fleets in the central galaxy cluster."
After talking about the People of the Starry Sky, Hao Ren let out a long breath, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "By the way, our prisoner has been imprisoned here for a long time, how is he doing now?"
Mulu snorted: "It's a hard bone. I took a look at him from a distance the day before yesterday, and he still looked the same, with neither guilt nor repentance, and any mental pressure seemed to be too much for him. no effect."
"It doesn't work at all?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "I designed so many for him... I'll go and see for myself."
Crystal nucleus research station, prison area.
The security here is as strict as ever, and there is still only one prisoner in the entire huge prison area. In the cell surrounded by several rays of light, the captured "Nizi" prisoner of war was lying on the ground and sleeping quietly. How decadent and embarrassing it has become. Some shimmering arcane structures and self-discipline machines are floating around the prisoner. These "jailors" weave a blurred web of light in the air, covering the prisoner as a whole.
Hao Ren and his entourage stood outside the prison room and watched the situation inside. "Go" stepped forward and carefully scratched the light wall with his paw: "Big cat, what is he doing?"
"Accept interrogation," Hao Ren bent down and grabbed "Roll" by the collar and pulled the cat girl up, "How many times have I said that I usually walk upright—this man is undergoing various tortures to extract a confession, but visual inspection..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the crystal console next to him, which displayed the mental state of the prisoner.
"However, visual inspection is useless. This guy's mental toughness is almost like steel."
"I think he is sleeping." The cat girl muttered.
Hao Ren knew that the cat's comprehension ability was limited compared to Doudou's, so he didn't bother to explain it to her.
The reason why the prisoner was interrogated in this way is because the other party is not afraid of physical pain at all, and even Yzaks's soul torture has extremely limited effect on Nizi, so Hao Ren had to transfer the interrogation process to the prisoner's spiritual level , he wanted to dig out some information from the depths of the opponent's consciousness by opening up psychological loopholes. For this reason, he also asked Zhuomu to help a lot, and used the special spiritual power of the eldest son to establish a complete set of complex systems. So far the system itself is working fine, the only problem is - the prisoner is as stubborn as a rock even on a subconscious level.
On the crystal console next to the cell, the holographic projection is showing the spiritual illusion experienced by the prisoner. He is in a purgatory, suffering from the terrible pain of magma pouring into his blood vessels, and then being placed in endless On the battlefield, facing endless powerful enemies and exhaustion enough to make ordinary people give up their lives, occasionally he will be sent into a gentle and sweet dream, but this dream is fleeting, and it is instant in a more cruel and twisted way for nightmares. But no matter how these illusions were crushed, the victim's heart was still rock-solid, and he did not waver in the slightest.
It's not even like having a heart.
"To put it bluntly... it's still an old-fashioned torture method," Hao Ren looked at the holographic projection and shook his head slightly, "no creativity."
The data terminal is also quite helpless: "But the host computer of the space station has already used the hopeless purgatory that appeared in various myths and legends, and all the ideas of Yizaks, the big devil, have also been used."
Hao Ren frowned, and reached out to touch a crystal prism next to the console: "Let me try—directly connect to this guy's spiritual world."
