Cosmic Terror
Faced with an impenetrable encirclement.
Qin Yiguan was forced into a deep sleep, and when he awoke again, all his enemies had been slaughtered.
He then found Officer Wang's combat recorder and saw what had happened.
The small, empty screen flickered.
The one who possessed Qin Yiguan's body was actually the Lantern Bearer.
The lantern in the Lantern Bearer's hand flickered, and a candle flame was released, transforming into Slaughterer shrouded in black mist.
The Slaughterer had no emotions; he simply slaughtered everything in his path.
However, the Lantern Bearer's next move shocked Qin Yiguan.
But the arrogant expression on the Lantern Bearer's face gradually disappeared, replaced by clear anxiety and fear, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly.
The Lantern Bearer turned slightly and bowed slowly towards the distance.
Qin Yiguan, who was not in the frame, had no idea what his purpose was or who he was paying homage to.
At that very moment, the sky darkened, and the once bright sky seemed to be suddenly veiled in black.
A Silver Moon slowly appeared on the horizon.
The Lantern Bearer, with a devout expression, kept bowing his head; he was worshipping the moon!
moment.
The Lantern Bearer suddenly looked up, his expression anxious and fearful as he gazed at the sky, but relaxed as he looked at the Silver Moon, as if he had found some kind of protection.
Qin Yiguan, said, "While he worships the moon, he also trembles in fear of the universe!"
At that very moment.
In the video footage, a tremendous, overwhelming shaking sound can be heard.
Clearly visible, the face of the Lantern Bearer was illuminated by the orange light from the sky, flickering in and out of focus.
The sky wasn't captured in the shot, and even if it were, Qin Yiguan wouldn't dare look directly at it.
"We come from the Ursa Major, a planet called Tianlao Three."
"We are from a Level 7 civilization, the Spiral Tooth Civilization."
"We are a team searching for Earth-like planets."
A grand sound resounded throughout heaven and earth, but the sound was deliberate and punctuated, as if it had undergone some kind of translation and transformation.
The Lantern Bearer in the scene seems completely unsurprised, simply looking down at the ground.
"We have discovered that the energy resources within a 1.5 light-year radius of your planet have been completely depleted."
"It seems this was done by a species like you."
The grand voice continued to resound, "It's strange. As a consciousness entity, you are clearly a very advanced being, yet your civilization level is unusually low, and you are still consuming material energy. It's very contradictory."
"We have always had a habit of collecting information on other civilizations and dissecting less advanced ones."
The booming voice was devoid of any emotion. "Therefore, we have decided to wipe out 99% of humanity on your planet, selecting only the 1% of superior genes for in-depth research."
The Lantern Bearer, who had been deaf to all of this and offered no reply, suddenly looked up.
His Pupil jet black, reflecting the starry sky.
At the same time, Qin Yiguan, who was off-screen, suddenly felt a violent dizziness.
He clearly didn't look up, but another perspective appeared in the picture, obscuring what he was seeing.
He saw it.
The vast the Starry Night, which I had never dared to look directly at, had a background like black velvet cloth, with countless stars shining like diamonds.
Magnificent, spectacular, and extremely dazzling.
At that very moment, a fear instinctively arose within Qin Yiguan, a fear that had no origin but was rapidly growing and spreading.
Phobias.
Because everyone's experiences are different, the objects of their fear are also different. The most common one is 'acrophobia'. In severe cases, just standing on a 2-meter-high wall will make their legs go weak and they will be unable to move normally.
The cause of this condition is mostly due to childhood trauma; a specific object leaves an indelible shadow in the patient's mind.
For some reason, Qin Yiguan was terrified of the universe.
The Starry Night in my eyes began to distort, as if someone had crumpled up a piece of black velvet cloth, and all the 'diamonds' on it were clattering and jostling together, crowded and chaotic.
Qin Yiguan's forehead was covered in sweat.
At this moment, he was extremely terrified and anxious, and he was beginning to feel a sense of suffocation.
And in the combat recorder footage...
The cries of surprise from the Spiral Tooth Civilization echoed, along with the frantic roar of engines.
They completely disregarded what had happened to the so-called "Spiral Tooth Civilization."
Right now, Qin Yiguan just wants to escape all of this and seek a powerful refuge that can alleviate his anxiety!
Suddenly.
Qin Yiguan saw the Silver Moon in the sky.
The pure white moonlight illuminated Qin Yiguan's face, and an indescribable sense of tranquility permeated Qin Yiguan soul.
The longer Qin Yiguan stared at the Silver Moon, the stronger his sense of security became.
"The moon can provide me with shelter."
Qin Yiguan's eyes widened.
For some reason, the feeling of being protected moved him deeply, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Qin Yiguan was completely unaware.
His current movement was the same as the Lantern Bearer's, bowing slightly towards the moon.
Suddenly.
The serene and beautiful moon suddenly transformed into a gigantic maw filled with fangs and sharp teeth, tearing at the sky not far away.
A bright light and a deafening explosion engulfed everything.
It was at this time.
All the valid footage from the combat recorder has been played.
What remains is a still image of something falling into the soil, focused on a clod of earth, until Qin Yiguan picks it up.
Qin Yiguan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I don't know if the ' Cosmic Phobia ' I just felt was real or just my imagination.
And in that very moment...
A huge, dense metallic twisting sound came from the sky, like a giant metal fortress collapsing.
Boom!
High in the sky, beyond the atmosphere, a massive piece of metallic debris crashed down.
The earth trembled, sending up dust hundreds of meters high!
Qin Yiguan stared at it, and could vaguely make out the original appearance of the thing.
It was a spaceship hundreds of kilometers long, now twisted by its immense power, its appearance resembling a metal twisted rope, with blue energy constantly emanating from its body!
"It's extraterrestrial life!"
"Humanity has encountered extraterrestrial life more than once during its exploration of the universe and its quest for energy, but there has never been a real conflict!"
AKI's expression was somewhat excited at this moment, "I never imagined that the way advanced life forms search for other civilizations would be to locate them by measuring the energy consumption of a certain star system."
Qin Yiguan suddenly realized something.
This map is also a simulation and deduction by the Gemini Superbrain.
What it simulates is the result of human exploration of outer space after the rapid development of human technology.
In other words...
Such exploratory activities by humanity will inevitably attract the attention of some advanced civilizations in the universe.
The invention of interstellar warships and combat power are two completely different things.
Humanity cannot resist the spying of any advanced civilization, much less resist any of their thoughts of erasing the Earth.
This is like an adult who, while traveling, encounters an ant nest.
If he harbors even the slightest malicious thought, this entire ant colony will face annihilation.
