A spaceship had appeared deep inside the Dead Mine.
The discovery caused quite a stir among the senior leadership of the All-Nations Covenant Civilization.
"Leader, our survey of the mountain range and the surrounding area found no traces connected to that spaceship. No fissures, depressions, or cave-ins. Nothing.
"The mountain range is structurally intact, with no signs of fractures. The spaceship lies 852 meters underground, and we currently have no way to estimate when it appeared."
Kuis, who had already recovered, reported the findings of his investigation into the spaceship.
Yu Yuan looked at Mona.
Holding her report, Mona said:
"The vengeful spirits trapped inside the spherical device have been contained, and I'm studying them. We've also confirmed the identities of those ten vengeful spirits. They were the ten patrol members killed earlier.
"Clearly, after that Silver Tier vengeful spirit killed them, their souls were trapped inside the spherical device. Given a little more time, they might have become true vengeful spirits capable of moving freely, just like the ones we encountered earlier."
At that, Kuis's face grew a shade paler.
He was filled with lingering fear.
He could hardly help it. He had taken a walk along the very edge of death.
If Nate and Yu Yuan had not acted so swiftly and decisively...
He would probably have ended up trapped in the spherical device alongside those ten patrol members, becoming their "colleague."
"How is the analysis of that device coming along, Marsil?"
"Mr. Investor, my team has finished dismantling the spaceship and the spherical device.
"One thing is certain: the technology used in that spaceship is highly sophisticated and advanced, completely unlike the mechanical specifications we've encountered so far. It forms an integrated whole, seemingly belonging to a world in an entirely different dimension."
Yu Yuan frowned slightly.
