Chapter 233: Journey to Hell (Part II)

The voice that came out of the picture was Lucy's, and it was obvious that the girl directly acted as a translator, so that everyone had the most intuitive understanding.

On the screen, the captain of the Elusa continued: "When I received this mission, I knew it was a one-way ticket. The Empire will not allow those of us who know to return, and of course, we are being paid very well for this trip. The boys were cheering for the gratuity, but they didn't know that a large part of it was actually their pension. ”

It was definitely a one-way ticket, and the entire crew of the Elusa received the most generous payment ever. Only the captain knows the secret, and the others ask for a non-disclosure agreement. They are not allowed to disclose their remuneration to their colleagues for fear of arousing suspicion. Since all the work was carried out independently, on the day of departure, the crew thought that they were the only ones who would be paid this handsomely, but they did not know that from the moment they set foot on the Elusa, they headed for the gates of hell.

Due to the non-disclosure agreement, the crew only knew that this time it was a special batch of passengers. According to the captain, there is no shortage of precedents in the history of the empire for the covert transportation of troops to the battlefield in the name of ordinary people. The crew had doubts, but no one would find out the truth unless they didn't want the money they already had, or even break the laws of the Empire.

"These poor people, and I am not one of them. However, the Empire has promised that my children and family will be taken care of, and that is enough. Originally, we would have arrived at our destination at the 15th Idahua Star, which is the edge of the universe, the Lideon Star Field. The passengers of the third layer will be exiled here for eternity, and they will not be retrieved until the big names of the empire think they can be restarted, right? In the picture, the man showed a helpless smile: "As for us, we must die there." When the ship lands, with the push of a button, the defenders will give us the finish according to the predetermined procedure. ”

"Yes, it should have been like this, if there weren't those accidents."

A week after the departure of the Elusa, a crew member finally discovered the anomaly on the third floor. Those who worked on the third floor gradually disappeared, and the captain ignored them. This attitude puzzled the crew, and the captain completely blocked the third floor, cutting off the passage of a qiΔ“ connection. To the horror of the crew, when the passage to the third floor was closed one by one, no one escaped, as if all the people inside were missing.

You must know that there were hundreds of crew members serving on the Elusa at that time, and at least 100 crew members on the third floor were responsible for the handover of materials and daily maintenance. But when the last door was closed, no one protested. No one knew what was on the third floor, and under the torture of this fear, they finally broke into the main control room and asked the captain to give them an answer.

"I was going to find some excuse to keep delaying, but they came out. I don't know what went wrong, maybe the big guys don't think it's a safe device. Anyway, they came out. Despite their small number, two passages were destroyed and poured into the second-floor area. I don't know what those things are, but I saw the word 'sentinel' on a handed over document, which is probably the name of these things. ”

"There was a fierce clash between our guards and sentries on the second floor, and although there were only five sentinels, our guards were no match for them. It wasn't until one of the Empire's Demon Soldiers intervened that the Sentinel was destroyed. We've repaired and reinforced the armor plates of the passage to make sure those things don't come out of the same places. Ironically, the Demon Transformation Soldier who was supposed to monitor us suffered heavy losses because of this unexpected incident. ”

But the situation did not improve because of this, due to the appearance of sentinels. The crew knew the purpose of the trip, and no one wanted to bury the sentry on the third floor, and they asked the captain to change the voyage. The captain reminded them that by the time the non-disclosure agreement was signed, the Empire had already grasped their family situation. If they don't go as planned, their families who remain on Idava risk being implicated, and the crew is almost in despair.

"But something even more desperate happened...... "The captain holds his face and says, "Due to the appearance of the sentry, the power room was affected during the battle, causing one of the warp accelerators to malfunction." When the ship's engineers found out, we found that the warp space was out of control. So for the next half a month, the Elusa kept shuttling between warp space and space, and we no longer knew where the destination would lead. ”

"But if we knew that we would end up here, I think we should have detonated ourselves in outer space, so that we wouldn't have so much pain as we have now, right? Unfortunately, Elusa didn't make it to Lydeon, and we ended up on a demon-inhabited planet. ”

The captain disappears, and a sword demon's face flickers across the screen. Following the camera zooming out, you can see a large group of sword demons pouring into the hull of the ship, fighting fiercely with the ship's guards and the remaining demon soldiers. The screen shifts, and you can see that the battle has spread to almost the entire Elusa.

The captain reappears in the frame: "As you can see, the natives of these planets are rushing in frantically, and our resistance is simply not enough to repel them. They can only keep narrowing the defense, but even then, they will rush in quickly. It's all over, yes. But we have one last trump card. That's right, to kill our defenders. Those who have no emotion in the killing machine, they implant the command to kill a qiΔ“ life inside the ship. Obviously, the natives of those planets are also in the category of life. ”

The screen suddenly flickered, and a fire could be seen behind the captain. The captain hurriedly glanced behind him, then slammed down something. Then a cold light flashed in his chest, and he was pierced by a rough iron spear! He looked incredulous and looked down. Then someone threw it aside, it was a knife demon. He tilted his head to look at the camera, reached out and shook it, then screamed and slammed his spear.

This is the end of the picture.

When Alan came back to his senses, he found that the virtual scene created by the cloud drooping system had disappeared, and it seemed that the connection between them and the ShujΓΉ library had been dissolved. The previous video recording of the captain still gave them a great shock, and even Lucy was silent for a long time. Now they knew why the immigrant ship was on the planet Underworld, and they knew what was on the third level of the hull.

It's just that what exactly is the sentinel that Idahuaxing is going to smuggle away? If it is the artificial weapons developed by the Ida Chinese themselves, why do they have to be disposed of quietly? Also, apparently there is no demonic praise in this video, and it seems that there is no connection between the Elusa and the source weapon. Presumably, the information of this source device can only be mined from the inside of the sword demon.

It's almost an impossible task.

"God, Miss Lucy. Those big guys were actually made by you, so do you have a way to control them? Willik asked.

Lucy shook her head and said, "I've never seen these guys, let alone heard of sentries as weapons. You may not believe it, but I have almost a third of the number in the Royal Library. ”

She nodded her head and said, "As members of the royal family, we have asked to be familiar with the history of Adahuaxing since we were sensible. Only by knowing the history can we clarify the responsibilities of each member of the royal family. But in the history of my knowledge, there has never been a record of a sentinel like this. Most probably, this part of history has been artificially deleted......"

"It seems that there is some dark history everywhere that cannot be seen." Alan sighed.

Lucy was silent, and said for a long time: "There is no shortage of wars in the history of Idahuaxing, and it is a rare era of peace and prosperity in the last millennium, but the open and secret battles between the royal families have never stopped for a moment, but in other ways, the struggle is also relatively restrained." Those sentinels are likely to be the product of a power struggle from 2,000 years ago, and I'm sure they must have blood on their hands, which is why they need to be kept secret/disposed of. No one in power would want to leave a bloody stain on their political career, and once they gain power, it is only natural that they immediately destroy the relevant files and evidence. ”

"Anyway, we finally know that we can't go to the third floor." Alan mentioned Chijun and said, "Let's go, we have to go to the power room." Cut off the energy and we'll get out of here. ”

Lucy nodded: "That's the only way for us to leave, otherwise as long as the Sword Demon closes the passage, we will have to be trapped here." ”

"Let's go, I'm a little nostalgic for the base dorm now." Willik sighed.

Lucy opened the door, and several people left the room. As the automatic door closed, Lucy took a deep look at the position of the main console. She knew that when the door was closed, this history would be sealed forever. From now on, only the four people present knew about the Elusa's past.

"Are you alright?" Alan asked softly, seeing that Lucy's mental state was not very good.

"It's nothing, let's go to the power room." Lucy smiled, no matter how you looked at it, the smile was a little forced.

She took a breath, thought for a moment, and then drew up a route: "Follow me." ”

Half an hour after they left, a team of sword demons searched the door of the computer room. Upon seeing the metal plate that had been pried open, a sword demon broke away from the group. A moment later, Kamu strode in. Pushing away a few fighters and seeing the circuit card slots exposed under the metal plates, the general showed a cruel smile: "Open this door for me, these rats must have escaped inside!" ”R1058
