Chapter 37: Confession

"Archon, we've intercepted a secret radio wave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Don't bother me with little things! I just want to know if any new planets with active stones have been found? The Archon roared.

"Yes, it's about source force fluctuations." The adjutant shrank for a moment, but still stubbornly said, "From the D Star Field." ”

The word source force strangely calmed the consul's mind, and he waved his hand to signal the adjutant to continue.

"The radio waves are coming from the D1234 monitoring station, but the monitoring station no longer exists." The adjutant continued, "It is reckoned that the time it was sent out was almost the same as the time it was destroyed. ”

"Hmph, interesting." The expression on the consul's face was even more cold, he dared to hide?

"Sort out the details of the D star field and hand it over to me later." With that, the archon left his office, walked inside the portal, and entered the destination. In an instant, the portal opened, revealing the largest library in the entire galaxy. Few people know that underneath the library is a secret cell.

"D Star Field." The archon paced in front of the cell, looked at the prisoner who was imprisoned in mid-air with all kinds of pipes inserted into his body, and said coldly, "The most dangerous and chaotic area of the galaxy has always been considered the most barren place, but in fact, it has the richest source stone resources, right?" The consul said sarcastically as he quickly skimmed through the information passed by the adjutant in his mind.

"I don't think you're hiding it well, but you still underestimate us." The archon crossed his hands over his chest and raised his chin proudly, "Just like your ancestors." In the end, it will fail. ”

The emaciated prisoner did not speak, and the source power in his body was still continuously transmitted through various conduits, providing power for the operation of various machinery. He seemed too weak to speak, but his body trembled slightly, like a dying butterfly.

The consul sneered again before he left satisfied.

"You're underestimating me......" the prisoner said silently, a grim smile on his lips.

After leaving, the consul ordered the prisoner to be transferred to a higher-ranking cell, where he was placed under the strictest guard.

"But, Lord Archon. After the transfer of him, the energy supply of our city is insufficient. ”

"Except for the military, everything else is used in limited quantities!"

"Yes!"

In the alien base, the atmosphere is dull and depressing, and many people still can't accept the fact that their companions are gone, and they are still immersed in sad memories.

Ansu turned off the light screen and said to the high priest leaning in the healing chamber, "I have fulfilled my promise, and now it is your turn." She took two steps closer and stared him in the eye, "Why do you want to deal with us?" ”

The high priest lifted his eyelids and looked fixedly ahead, as if trying to remember. Although there was a healing pod to keep him alive, his life was coming to an end. The aging of the body is irreversible, and no one can resist the arrival of that moment. He was successful, he succeeded in stabilizing the base, and at the same time he was a failure, and his negligence led to the disaster of the clan. If you had put your clansmen in the base and then restarted it, maybe the result would have been different. No one expected the mutant beast to come so suddenly, or so coincidentally.

He gasped for a few breaths, the sound coming from his tattered body.

"I never wanted to deal with you, I just wanted the source power in you."

"Source power?"

"It's the kind of energy that causes you to mutate. Although I don't know why you would have both. ”

"This energy...... What is the use of Source Power? ”

"Strength." The High Priest smiled weakly and turned to Ansu, "I think you must have experienced it. It is capable of mutating genes and becoming powerful. ”

"What about the consequences? Consequences of using it. I never believed that there was a free lunch in the world. ”

"Hehe, you're sane, human. For you, it may be intellectual, it may be longevity, it may be emotional...... But for the master, the source power is like food to us. He looked at Ansu with a wry smile.

"Who is your master?"

"I don't know, we're just slaves created by our people to guard the base." The High Priest sighed softly, he wanted this base, and he also wanted to know more about the master, and it would be better to find a way to contact the master.

An Su frowned, the owner behind this base was really cautious, and the base left behind was actually almost an empty shell. There wasn't much left of it that could be used, like a treatment pod, if it weren't for the delivery of medicine, it might just be an ordinary iron box. This time, in order to treat the deer people, the treatment room is full, and the medicine is almost empty. The base's brains have already issued a warning.

"The source power you said has other uses besides enhancing strength, right?" An Su lowered her face and said that the pain of her soul being torn apart when she was extracted from her source power was still fresh in her memory.

"It's also an energy source." The High Priest smiled bitterly, "This base is powered by the Source Force. Without the source power, it will self-destruct, and when the mountains will fall, my people will be in danger. I had to. ”

"But you can't be disregarding other people's lives."

"I had to." The high priest repeats mechanically.

"It's just an excuse for your incompetence, and there are definitely more options for supplementing energy." Ansul retorted that her Explorer prepares several energy replenishment plans for the worst-case scenario every time it makes an interstellar flight.

The high priest bowed his head. There was a pause: "It's me who is too anxious." Originally, those failed products could also extract some source power. ”

"Failure? Those mutants? Ansu frowned.

"Yes, they also have source power in their bodies, and as you have seen, they are mutated irrational beasts." At this, he coughed violently again.

Then the successful work is the deer people, a race with a high level of intelligence. In this way, this base is an experimental base. But why were they created, and then abandoned and gone? This may be the reason why the high priest has been looking for it. This question eventually became his obsession.

"What will happen when you extract the source power?" Will she become a blue body like her? Or die?

"Actually, you've already guessed it in your heart, right?" The High Priest calmed his cough and regained a brief sharpness in his eyes.

"Will die. It's just that your situation is special, and I can't say clearly. He stared straight at Ansu as if he could see through her soul, "But I'm sure you're not human anymore." He leaned forward, his eyes suddenly shivering.

"You've become a master-like being." (To be continued.) )
