"Hyperspace" itself was a place capable of restraining human malice. This bleak world was riddled with deep, hidden wounds left behind by the Ancient Gods' permanent alterations to the Material Universe.
In theory, these scars and fissures could interact with any level of the Three Layers, One Zone, One Domain, creating endless variables.
The Information Torrent of energy constantly spewing forth was also one source of danger. Anyone who made a move here had to exercise caution.
Although two people had died in succession, everyone could still gamble—gamble that both deaths had been pure accidents, part of Hyperspace's dangerous variables.
Even taking the worst-case scenario, if there was a "murderer," they could gamble that this was all he was capable of causing.
Assuming a "murderer" existed: his choice to strike after the long voyage had passed its halfway point, just after they had completed their information update and coordinate calibration, when they were bound to be out of contact with the rear for a considerable stretch of time, had clearly been carefully designed.
There were two possibilities here:
First, if the "murderer" could ignore Hyperspace's dangers and kill at will, then he would only grow more brazen afterward—but he would also gradually leave traces.
