2189. Catastrophe one hundred thousand years ago

"You... who are you?" Dr. Yako-Vesti was already stunned.

"What happened?" A young man pushed the door open and came in, but was also immediately subdued by Ghost Agent.

"A little brat. Of no value. He probably didn't participate in the research." A Ghost Agent said coldly.

Seeing that Ghost Agent was about to pull the trigger of the pistol in his hand, Dr. Yako-Vesti said loudly, "Please don't! He is my son! I will cooperate with whatever you want... just please don't hurt us!"

"Very good, be obedient, then there will be no problem. Gather all the researchers together. If one is missed, then you may only be able to see your son for the last time in your life." Ghost Agent said coldly.

Dr. Yako-Vesti could only do as he was told.

Due to financial constraints, there were only eight researchers in their project. They were all quickly called over, and then they were completely controlled by several Ghost Agent in the conference room.

"You... what do you want to do? We are just an archaeological team, and our project has nothing to do with military purposes." Yako-Vesti said.

"Tell me all the information about Mind-harp." Ghost Agent said coldly.

"Mind-harp?" Yako-Vesti's mind was full of questions. He had never heard of this thing.

"Don't play tricks on me. If you think you can get away with it, you may regret it." Ghost Agent grabbed Yako's son and threw him to the ground.

His son was tall and powerful, but he was manipulated by Ghost Agent as easily as a little chicken.

The pistol was pressed against the back of the young man's head again.

"No! We really don't know what Mind-harp is! If you don't believe it, you can check all our information right now, I swear! If you can tell me what it is, I will be happy to tell you everything I know!" Yako-Vesti raised his hands and said loudly.

Ghost Agent turned his head and looked at him, the scarlet tactical eyepieces covering his helmet were like a pair of evil spirits' eyes, making people feel extreme fear from the bottom of their hearts.

From Yako's shallow consciousness, Ghost Agent discovered that he didn't seem to be lying, so he raised his wrist and called up a computer-generated picture in Omni-tool, which showed a strange-shaped object. This object has a polygonal base with a fork-shaped metal structure on top, and this metal structure is constantly changing. Sometimes it is U-shaped, sometimes it is three-pronged, and sometimes it is eight-pronged. It is completely impossible to understand the principle of this change.

This dynamic picture was synthesized using a computer based on the description of the old man Korlok.

"This is...Mind-harp?" Dr. Yako-Vesti looked at this dynamic picture in confusion.

"The energy explosion a hundred years ago originated from this thing. At that time, it was placed on the top of a pyramid in Planet Five." Ghost Agent said.

Yako-Vesti stood up suddenly and shouted, "What did you say!! This thing is the truth about the energy explosion a hundred years ago!!!"

As soon as he stood up, he was pushed back to sit down, but he still said with great excitement, "This is Mind-harp? We have been searching for the truth for a hundred years!! Please, please let me see this thing! I will give you whatever you want! Anything is fine!"

"Mind-harp's current location cannot be reached by you. And this thing is all I can give you now. What you need to do is tell me how to activate Mind-harp." Ghost Agent said coldly.

"You just give us a picture and ask us to figure out how to activate it? This is impossible!" another scholar said loudly.

"If you think it's impossible, then you are worthless." Ghost Agent craftsman pointed the pistol at his head.

"Wait! Yes! Yes!!" Yako-Vesti said loudly, "We can try! Just please don't hurt us! This Mind-harp is also crucial to our research, and we will help you no matter what!"

Ghost Agent nodded and said coldly, "Then as soon as possible, I will only give you three days at most."

"Let's go to Lafa Five! We were just talking about this!" Yako said.

"Act immediately." Ghost Agent lifted him up.

The scholars here were all caught in a stealth spacecraft of Ghost Agent. They found that in addition to the crew, there were more than a dozen archaeologists inside, who seemed to be here for the Saru people civilization.

Leave Dr. Yako and the others to those Duchy of Dawn scholars, Ghost Agent leave one person leaning against the door Guardian, and the others return to the planet to destroy surveillance, cut off communications, and collect intelligence.

Dr. Yako began to tell these Duchy of Dawn scholars about his research, "According to our research, Saru people is a very reserved race, and there is a high probability that they have powerful telepathic abilities, but But they are rarely aggressive. We continue to study the Relics left by Saru people. There are many murals and records on it. According to this information, they claim that they were created by a starfish-shaped creator about one million years ago."

"At the same time, in Saru people's records, information about 'Celestials' has been mentioned many times. It seems that they once lived with Celestials. Moreover, Saru people's technology was very advanced in the past. Although they originated from a remote planet like Eastern Territory, they once expanded their sphere of influence. Expanded to Aargau (Aargau) of Core Worlds. But at that time, Aargau was far from its current status as a financial center. It was just a desolate planet full of dangerous primitive creatures. But even if calculated this way, Saru people once ruled at least a quarter of the galaxy!"

"The biggest doubt lies in a major event recorded by Saru people that happened one hundred thousand years ago." Dr. Yako said seriously, "Saru people believes that at that time, They are about to face a crisis of genocide. They have not said clearly what this crisis is, but the whole family regards this crisis as the most important thing, and they believe that this matter is related to Celestials."

The scientists at Duchy of Dawn all frowned, and a paleontologist pondered, "Great Cataclysm one hundred thousand years ago? How come I seem to have heard of this thing..."

Dr. Yako reminded, "You don't need to hear this... We have checked countless information, and there is only one race that can be linked to this time - Killiks!"

The paleontologist's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "That's right! Kilik Swarm!! Kilik Swarm also began to degenerate into a group of wisdomless insects one hundred thousand years ago!! The entire degeneration process lasted for tens of thousands of years! For tens of thousands of years, even Killiks, which once created a brilliant civilization, could not stop the coming of destruction!"

Dr. Yako said in a deep voice, "And we just came to a surprising conclusion today... We have been studying Sarru script. Before, we only knew the meaning of these words, but in recent years, we began to explore these words out of boredom. Regarding the pronunciation of the word, we found that many of the syllables cannot be pronounced by human vocal organs. However...Toka people, who lives on Planet Five, can pronounce all the syllables of Sarru language perfectly!"

The geneticist just now added, "Toka people is a humanoid race that has been living on Planet Five. At most, they are just descended from Neolithic Era. They are basically a group of primitive people."

"You mean, Toka people might be the descendant of Saru people?" asked the paleontologist at Duchy of Dawn.

"I think it's more than that. If we refer to the ending of Kilik Swarm, we can even think that Toka people is Saru people after the degradation of wisdom!" Dr. Yako said loudly.
