From then until boarding the ship, the whole team seemed unusually quiet, and it could even be said to be orderly—although the unavoidable atmosphere of estrangement and mutual vigilance still lingered around everyone, at least the order was guaranteed. It has to be said that since being sent to this place beyond most people's cognition by the portal, the strange sight here and the incredible journey that followed have greatly diverted the attention of the "chosen ones", and they can no longer Concentrate on thinking about the problems they wanted to think about before, because even if they put all their energy on understanding and observing this place, it seems a bit insufficient.
The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace moored at the dedicated star port slightly broke the quiet and almost dull atmosphere: it is a beautiful spaceship, although it is not as large as those giant civilian transport ships or low-tech warships, but only from its It can be seen that this ship is different from the special port it occupies and the huge and sophisticated servo facilities near the port. The chosen ones were amazed when they heard that this was the ship that Hao Ren had arranged for them. They looked up under the hovering bracket of the starship—Hao Ren felt that more than 90% of their attention was on the ship. Check out that husky head painted on the deck of the spaceship...
"This is a boat sticker, a personalized boat sticker - haven't you seen a car sticker!" Hao Ren sullenly tried to explain the huge dog's head on the boat seriously.
Lily's big innocent face runs through three armor belts on the spaceship, from the waistline auxiliary battery all the way to the stern engine cover...
Vivian's expression remained unchanged, but she squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "I don't think you should be fooled by the big dog's soft and hard paws. Even if you draw Guo Degang on the spaceship, it is better than Husky's silly face." Bar."
Hao Ren: "Leading the group, be serious..."
Fortunately, no one was stalking what it means to have a husky head printed on the spaceship. They accepted this style of painting in amazement and fun, and some even smiled knowingly: It seems that in this cold and strange world After seeing a lot of incomprehensible things on the space station, they finally saw something they were familiar with. Even Husky's face seemed to warm people's hearts.
Under the guidance of Nolan, the passengers boarded the spacecraft in an orderly manner under the influence of the tractor beam. So far, no accidents have occurred.
Hao Ren came to the bridge and took a look at the passenger cabin (actually it was the big lounge, anyway, there are only one hundred people in total, so there is no need to refit the Gnaku). The guidance station sent a request signal for the spacecraft to leave the station.
"Next is the time for us to lead the group to witness the miracle," Hao Ren rubbed his hands after sending out the signal, with a confident and proud expression on his face, "This is a trip that I carefully planned and carefully arranged for them. , it must be an eye-opener for these guys..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the feedback information from the guidance station of Kuiper Station had been sent to the bridge: "The request for leaving the station has been accepted—confirm the special route Z88-1350, the 'Sunset Red Returning Family Visiting Group' is about to leave Starport, repeat,' Sunset Red's Homecoming Family Visiting Group is about to leave Xinggang... ”
"Just the name of this group," Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren with strange eyes for a long time, "Do you dare to say from the bottom of your heart that you planned it carefully?"
"Nonsense, can you find a name that is more deeply rooted in people's minds than these few words?" Hao Ren said confidently, "And anyway, this kind of informal personal flight does not keep long-term files, so the temporary name is different. .”
Others on the bridge waved their hands one after another: "Okay, okay, you have a reason, you have a reason..."
The Giant Turtle Rock rolled up a burst of blue brilliance in space, and gradually accelerated out of the Kuiper Station's gravitational binding circle, then it suddenly disappeared into the mirror sphere formed by the warped space. A recorder at , recorded the scene:
"On XX, XX, XX, His Excellency Hao Ren, the imperial inspector, led his "Sunset Red Returning Home Visiting Group" to embark on a journey. This is the first time that the survivors of the Dream Plane officially The trip back to the hometown, although it is only a small-scale and short-term return, marks the biggest progress of the Dream Plane incident so far. Perhaps we can finally expect those lost descendants living in foreign lands to have the opportunity to return to their hometowns. Perhaps today It’s a new turning point in history…”
What Hao Ren said is correct, such a special flight will not leave a long-term file in the general database—but it has been recorded in history...
However, the people who have already set off on the spaceship will not know what a certain recorder wrote on the observation tower. At this moment, they are already in the closed vesicle produced by the space warping, and are rushing towards the crack in the depths of the universe at super-light speed.
Adni stayed quietly in the starship lounge, looking at every stranger around with a cautious attitude, and at the same time trying to remember everything she saw here. She knew that everyone around her was the same, so there was no need for her to hide her attitude and eyes: in other words, this kind of aboveboard guard was one of the conditions that could guarantee "peace".
She is a Silver Witch who has established herself as a high-ranking advisor and mentor in a South American vampire convent. Unlike human wizards or witches who used to be slaves and learned a little bit of magic behind the ancient "gods", "silver witch" or "silver wizard" is a proper noun, a member of the real ancient gods, ad Ni's memory can be traced back to the ancient Sumerian period. In the era of barbaric civilization and pioneering, she was also the patron saint of a certain city on the Mesopotamian plain—but those glorious days are gone. Now, all that remains in her memory are some silhouettes of city-states dyed the color of yellow sand and some ruins of ancient cities that have collapsed and burned. These fragmented memories make her bored and depressed. Perhaps it is to resolve this boring life that she agreed. He accepted the request of the Vampire Priory, and responded to the call of the Dark Parliament as a representative (according to the plan, this is called the "chosen one") and became a member of this team.
Now she was looking curiously at the place, and the strange members of the team.
The werewolf from South America seemed to be a boy of the Eben family, a guy who often dealt with, still as loud and frivolous as ever.
Vampires from Europe are no different from those guys in the Priory, dull, dark, unsmiling, basically have a zombie face except for the one named Heatherana, but they themselves call this a gentleman's elegance restrained.
The rune dwarves from Australia, ah, the guys who realized that something was wrong before the end of the age of mythology, and then built a big ship to escape from the center of the vortex and live in seclusion underground, if they didn't leave Northern Europe so early, maybe the Asa tribe Can last a while longer.
The sea monsters from the deep sea, those mysterious races also appeared, and their queens seemed to appear in person. That Ms. Katrina and her entourage are probably the only really happy guys here. They didn't participate in the mythical war, nor were they involved in any alien melee. Sometimes I really envy these guys who live in the deep sea and have nothing to do with the world. guy.
And they, the witchers from the North Pole...
Adni's sight still inevitably fell on those demon hunters, who were sitting at the other end of the lounge, forming two distinct circles with almost all the aliens, and there seemed to be an invisible force field around them , even the most irascible werewolves are unwilling to look in that direction even more. However, these demon hunters seem to be a little different from what Adoni had in mind.
There is a lot less murderous look on them, and the completely unreasonable fanaticism is gone. They sit together, talk to each other in low voices or exchange some food and drinks. Occasionally, some people even look at this side, and then smile suspiciously The expression nodded—the expression was very stiff, and it was obvious that they themselves did not want to make such a move, but they reluctantly greeted each other.
Adni frowned, but still nodded reluctantly.
The witcher girl named "White Fire" seemed very active. She was talking loudly among her partners, as if to show her knowledge of this place. She mentioned Star Wars, Gundam, Halo and Steam. A bunch of strange words did not sound like a reliable explanation, but the companions around her listened with great interest.
It turns out that the witcher can also joke.
This is such a strange place, Adne could not help thinking. Why do these people mix together? Why are people of all races, camps, and ages crammed into this metal-cast vehicle to take part in a "journey" that is said to be "significant" but mysterious from beginning to end
Adne thought of the things she had seen along the way, and had to admit that they had seriously shaken some of her perceptions.
Everyone else sitting here—as long as they have above-average intelligence—should be the same.
For the first time, they had to add the concept of "cosmic level" to their thinking process, and then they turned their heads to think about their struggles and scheming on that little blue planet in the past thousands or even ten thousand years. The magnificent battle, the splendid temple, and the countless treasures seem to be insignificant at the moment when looking up at the universe.
"Attention, the spaceship is about to leave the hyperspace state, attention, the spaceship is about to leave the hyperspace state..."
The lights in the lounge suddenly began to switch. After the brightness decreased, holographic projection images slowly emerged on the metal walls on both sides, showing the exterior of the spaceship.
Some red and blue stripes formed something like a tunnel, and the spacecraft moved forward in the tunnel, and then the tunnel quickly shortened and dissipated, forming a stable pattern of stars and nebulae, and stopped as if frozen.
The spacecraft is still flying at an astonishing speed, but on the large scale of the universe, its relative speed to the surrounding celestial bodies is almost static.
A majestic spiral nebula appeared in front of everyone, and everyone who saw it for the first time couldn’t help but hold their breath. The terrifying pressure brought by the all-consuming material storm even made the heart of an old hunter like Hasselblad jump instantly. It stopped for half a beat.
"...I probably won't be able to play VR anymore..." Bai Huo sighed to himself.
The huge space buildings around the Rift Nebula and the blue-green planet that is very different from the earth and orbiting like a sentinel near the "eye of the storm" attracted the attention of many people. They speculated about the functions of those space buildings and discussed the gates. It's not the crack in the center of the nebula. At the same time, some people noticed the "strange scenery" floating above the blue-green planet: some things that looked like foreign lands floated in space, and were connected by huge green vine-like structures. The aliens and demon hunters who knew something about it all showed thoughtful expressions.
"Passenger friends, I am the captain of this ship," Hao Ren's voice sounded at the right time, "You have come to a critical part of this journey—before your eyes is the gate connecting the two worlds, the gate of the universe. door, you can see it in the rift in the center of the nebula. We will pass through this door later, and you will actually reach the Dream Plane, the home of all of you. Before that, I want to introduce a little bit about the rift next to the eye of the storm It is called Purgatory, and some of you may know this name, because in the past thousands of years, the entrance of Purgatory has appeared on the earth more than once... "
"That's purgatory!?"
"It actually exists, and in this place?"
There was an unstoppable exclamation in the lounge.
Hao Ren's explanation didn't end, and he quickly switched to another topic: "Someone should have noticed the 'foreign continents' floating above the Purgatory planet and the plants that spread and grow between the continents, some of you should understand It is more familiar: that is Ygudora Hill, in the data set I gave you, I mentioned its other identity, that is, the "vehicle" that all the supernatural creatures on the earth used to ride when they entered this universe ten thousand years ago. Macross'. It was once the domain of the Yassa, but now it has become one with Purgatory...”
The selected candidates in the lounge exchanged glances in astonishment, and then many of them quickly took out those thick data sets (they were part of the proposal, which Hao Ren jokingly called "Sunset Red Homecoming Visiting Group") Travel Manual DLC Integration Pack"), began to seriously read the sensational truth above for the first time.
Obviously, they hadn't really looked at these things seriously before... I have to say that the cover of cheap travel advertisements that Lily downloaded from the Internet and then PS out by herself is one of the major factors leading to this result.
The Giant Turtle Rock Platform slowly accelerated, and approached the "gateway of the universe" in the center of the Rift Nebula, and the image of Ugudora Hill was gradually swept to the rear in the screen transmitted by the external monitor.
Ten thousand years ago, countless refugees from the Dream Plane came to this universe on the huge "Hyperspace Ark".
Ten thousand years later, a hundred survivors of the Dream Plane, who had forgotten their hometown, passed by the ark in the inspector's spaceship, and embarked on their first journey back home with a sense of bewilderment.
"We are about to pass through the gate of the universe." On the bridge, Hao Ren switched the internal line, and the image of the group consciousness of the drone group appeared on the communicator, "Fleet, open all monitoring points. From now on, we will I want you to monitor the cosmic parameters of all known spaces on the dream plane."
The Giant Turtle Rock Platform was like a glistening drop of mercury, lightly falling into that gate.
