Chapter 963 Prisoners in the Crystal Cage

After talking in detail about many things about the Starry Sky People with the three guardian giants, Hao Ren realized that these guardians actually had a very limited understanding of that ancient race - the Starry Sky People once wandered around the universe, even before the creation of the world. When the goddess began to study how to pinch the little people, those light groups were still common visitors in the universe, but soon after that, the people of the starry sky gradually reduced their activities. By the time giants like Mulu were born, the people of the starry sky almost no longer showed up. , they became a mysterious race similar to "universe ghost stories". The main responsibility of the Guardians is to protect the mortal species created by the goddess. They originally did not care much about the original races and the Eternals. After the people of the starry sky collectively retreated from the world, the Guardians certainly cared less about them.

According to the information currently available, the people of the starry sky have maintained a mysterious and low-key posture since then. It was not until the death of the goddess of creation that they suddenly appeared again and began to clean up the mess left by the guardians all over the world.

And this does not seem to be consistent with their original "image". As a group of hidden creatures, they originally cared little about the material universe and ordinary races, and they themselves were not on the hunting list of the world-destroying natural disasters. Such a group of Hermit, why did you suddenly become passionate about saving the common people?

After Hao Ren finished discussing with the guardian giants, Yzaks spoke angrily: "Have you noticed that the people of the starry sky seem to have anticipated the 'fall of the goddess'?"

Muru and the others didn't know much about the clues about the people of the starry sky discovered by Hao Ren and his party, so they all said in unison: "How do you say this?"

"The three civilizations of Wandering Planet, Horleta, and Ark Fleet are thousands of light years apart," Hao Ren crossed his arms, "But they received warnings of world-destroying natural disasters almost at the same time, and according to what has been There is information, and there are many other races in the universe that have received warnings. In addition, the people of the starry sky have immediately carried out various rescue and support - although they have not been completely effective, their measures have been more or less effective. This shows that they have been prepared for a long time.”

At this time, a loud "squeaking" sound suddenly came from above. Hao Ren was startled by the movement. When he looked up, he found that it was Lemendusa who was clenching his fists. The guardian giant had an angry look on his face: " You mean, they knew someone was going to kill God?!"

"It's just a guess, and the people of the starry sky act strangely, and their worldview is different from that of ordinary races. It's hard to say whether their actions are intentional or not." Hao Ren quickly waved his hand to calm down Remendusa, "Besides, we now have There is too little evidence. Isn’t it wrong to casually characterize other people’s actions?”

Remendusa took a few deep breaths. He knew what Hao Ren said made sense, so he finally calmed down.

"The key now is that we don't know if the Star People are still a race," Vivian sighed. "Although they are powerful, they are no match for the Crazy Firstborn. They can barely protect themselves. Since the goddess fell, they have been running around everywhere. Inform all ethnic groups to take refuge. There has been no news about them for ten thousand years. Where can I find them now?"

The words appeared in Hao Ren's mind again: the borders of the stars are filled with sounds of darkness.

"The sound of darkness at the border of the stars..." Hao Ren looked at Liemendusa, "Don't you know what this sentence means?"

"Most races always have many fallacies in their interpretation of the universe. Depending on the level of their civilization, some very simple cosmic phenomena will be explained by them with very complex metaphors. The star border may refer to the edge of a certain galaxy, or It may be the boundary of a large galaxy group, and the sound of darkness cannot be speculated on - the universe is filled with darkness. Who knows which black hole or abnormal space phenomenon they are talking about," Remendusa shook his head, "But I think If you are looking for 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 this The first part of the universe to evolve.”

Hao Ren was surprised: "Is there still an environment for life to survive there?"

"There is only a piece of ashes. Although I have never been there, I know that all the celestial bodies there have been burned out. Even the new stars that have reorganized after the collapse of the stars have been burned out. There are no longer any new celestial bodies born, only a scorching black place. After all, it is the oldest region of the universe. But the people of the starry sky should still be able to survive in that place: they have survived from the beginning to the present and should have adapted to various extreme environments. Since they cannot be found elsewhere in the universe They, then go look for them in the ashes at the center of the universe."

"That's a dangerous place..." the data terminal muttered, "the fleet hasn't sent any exploration planes in that direction yet."

"Have drones never been to the Central Galaxy Cluster?"

"Of course I have never been there. It is the cemetery of stars, the place where the universe was burned out first. There is no life there at all. The goddess of creation has not sown seeds in that direction. Naturally, the drone swarm will not go there." The data terminal shook his body. "And to be honest, it's too far there. According to the speed at which the fleet is expanding while building a base, it will probably take many years before the boundaries of the fleet are extended to the central galaxy cluster."

Hao Ren thought for a moment: "Let the fleet send a few vanguard nest weavers first and 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 sigh, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "By the way, our prisoner has been here for a long time, how is his condition now?"

Muru snorted: "He's quite a tough guy. I took a look at him from a distance the day before yesterday. He still looked the same, with no guilt or repentance, and any mental pressure on him seemed to be a problem. no effect."

"Is it completely ineffective?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "I have designed so many for him... I will go and see for myself."

Crystal Core Research Station, Prison Area.

The security here is as tight 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 "traitor" prisoner of war was lying on the ground and sleeping quietly. He was still dressed in the same golden and fashionable style. The many days of prisoner life and mental exhaustion did not seem to have let him down. How decadent and embarrassed he has become. Some shimmering arcane structures and autonomous machines were floating around the prisoner. These "jailers" weaved a vague web of light in the air, enveloping the prisoner entirely.

Hao Ren and his party stood outside the cell and looked at the situation inside. "Gun" stepped forward and carefully scratched the light wall with his paws: "Big Cat, what is he doing?"

"Under interrogation," Hao Ren bent down and grabbed the collar of "Gun" to pull the cat girl up. "How many times have I told you to walk upright - this person is undergoing various tortures to extract confessions, but visual inspection..."

He said as he glanced at the crystal console next to him, which displayed the prisoner's mental state.

"However, visual inspection is of no use. This guy's mental toughness is as tough as steel."

"I think he's just sleeping." Cat Girl muttered.

Hao Ren knew that this cat's understanding ability was only a little better than Doudou, so he didn't bother to explain to her.

The reason why the prisoner was interrogated in this way was because the prisoner was not afraid of physical pain at all. Even Yzaks' soul torture had extremely limited effect on the traitor, so Hao Ren had no choice but to transfer the interrogation process to the prisoner's mind. , he wanted to dig out some information from the depths of the other party's consciousness by opening psychological loopholes. To this end, he also asked Zhuom to help a lot, and used the eldest son's special mental power to establish a complete set of complex systems. The system itself was working fine so far, the only problem was that the prisoner was as stubborn as a rock, even on a subconscious level.

On the crystal console next to the cell, the holographic projection is showing the mental illusion experienced by the prisoner. He is in a purgatory, suffering the terrible pain of magma pouring into his blood vessels, and then being placed in an endless torment. On the battlefield, facing endless powerful enemies and exhaustion that would make ordinary people give up their lives, he would occasionally be sent into a gentle and sweet dream, but this dream was fleeting and turned into an instant in a more cruel and twisted way. For nightmares. But no matter how these illusions overwhelm him, the victim's heart is still rock-solid and unwavering.

Even like having no 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, "There is no creativity."

The data terminal was also helpless: "But the space station host has already used the desperate purgatory that appeared in various myths and legends, and all the ideas of the big devil Yzaks 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."
