Epilogue (Part II)
There was a long silence in the channel.
Then a voice rang out: "It's wonderful, Miss Mumu, but you're not the first to see through the truth."
"Dai Yue saw through you earlier than me." Mumu said, "So he died." β
"Dai Yue, he's not ......"
"You didn't kill you, Xiao Zi." Mu Mu shook his head, "Dai Yue has been dead a long time ago, he died after leaving our sight, and what appeared in front of us again was just a corpse that was taken away. β
Ge Zi was dumbfounded.
Today was probably the most surprising day of her life.
"Then that and that that the ship signal we received, and the huge heart they found twenty years ago, the lone lamp in the wilderness...... What's going on with these? β
"That's what you have to ask." "Twenty years ago, the members of Cassini Station dug you out of the pit and brought you into the station like a treasure in the glove box, and they certainly didn't expect you to kill them all. β
Tiefutu was already alarming the battery, and Mu Mu didn't care, and they didn't have time to charge before they went out.
There was silence in the channel for a long time.
"In the beginning, I didn't want to kill them, and I approached humans with complete reciprocity."
"What happened next?" Mu Mu asked.
"Then the negotiations collapsed." Dabai said, "I begged them not to make the secrets of this world public, but Hu Donghai refused. β
"The secret of this world?" Mu Mu and Ge Zi were stunned.
"The truth of this world, see it with your eyes." Dabai said, "You can see it." β
The sun is rising, the night is fading, and the world is turning back into a plain shrouded in light brownish yellow mist.
The two girls saw the flickering light again, it was so close that it seemed to be touched when they got out of the car, but Mu Mu and Ge Zi were too frightened to sit on their chairs and dare not move.
It was a slender long leg, as thin as a bamboo pole, but it was so long that it could not see the end when it poked into the clouds, like an incredibly large spider or stick insect, its body was hidden in the clouds, Mu Mu and Ge Zi raised their heads and could only see its legs, this slender leg poked down from the clouds, and the joints flashed with light.
One long leg after another poked into the ground one after another, and then lifted up one after another, and soon disappeared into the thick fog.
"What is that, that, that?" Ge Zi trembled and pointed out the window, "What kind of creature?" Or is it mechanical? β
"They're dead things." Dabai said.
"Why haven't our satellites, and all the other probes, been able to detect them?" Mu Mu was incredible, when Da Bai lifted the mist that shrouded this world, she realized that she was originally a little ant living at the feet of giants, "Why haven't you found them for so many years?" β
"Because they're dead." Dabai said, "Only those who are close to death can see them clearly." β
As Da Bai spoke, Mu Mu and Ge Zi stared in a daze as a cloud slowly passed overhead, and then both of them widened their eyes, and they realized that the dark cloud was not a cloud, but a pattern on the abdomen of something.
It was unimaginably big.
The two girls couldn't fit it all into their eyes when they heard a long roar, like thunder.
At this moment, they knew that the Hades spaceship had been taken by something.
They recognize the truth of the world.
"What is a dead thing?" Ge Zi asked, "Corpses?" β
"They are the remains of a dead world in the past." Dabai said, "600,000 years ago, this world was completely dead, and only the remains were left to wander the world, and everything you saw was a wreckage. β
"Is that why we received a signal from the Buran?" Ge Zi asked.
"Yes." "It's merging into this time of death and gradually turning into a human remains." β
"Do they usually wander around like that?"
"No, they usually cruise their country." Dabai said.
"Where is their country?"
"Underground." Dabai said, "The deep and dark ocean under the earth is their kingdom. β
"What about you?" Mu Mu asked, "What are you?" β
"I am the last living creature of this world." Dabai said, "I am a grave keeper, my name is Lou Qi, I guard this world until the end of the universe, twenty years ago, I was dug up by humans, awakened from my slumber, I think that humans are creatures with the same high intelligence as me, so I am willing to communicate with them, and they also treat me as a human being." β
"What happened later that caused your relationship to break down?"
"Soon I realized how terrible you are, and you don't have to pay anything for breaking your promises." "I wanted Hu Donghai and others to keep it a secret, but they betrayed me β in fact, I shouldn't expect them to keep their promises." β
"So you killed them?"
"I escaped from the lab." Dabai said, "Fortunately, there are troubles inside and outside Cassini Station, they don't have much energy to deal with me, I control Cassini Station and the Iron Float, I can only control the unmanned Iron Float in a standby state, and try to make this planet a worthless and bad place...... It is said that you humans will deliberately avoid such places. β
"So does Earth know about your existence?" Mu Mu asked.
"I don't know for the time being." "I quickly took the initiative and control after they turned their backs on me, so the research records that the earthlings received were about an incredible black ball...... Obviously, no one on the planet takes this seriously. β
"I reconstructed the mission record and let it stay in Cassini Station, in case someone comes later, they will be able to find out this story about the black ball, so the information in this hard drive is not afraid of you taking it back to verify, I know that earthlings will not believe in the existence of black balls at all, this is your essence, you don't believe in anything absurd and irrational, such as a black ball that is absolutely smooth and does not reflect electromagnetic waves."
Mu Mu let out a long breath.
"But if you kill Dai Yue, you also want to kill us."
"I'm sorry, it's a contingency." Da Bai said, "Dai Yue is too perceptive, I suspect that he didn't believe me in the first place, and he didn't believe in the existence of the black ball. β
"How did you get out of the lab?" Mu Mu frowned, she hadn't figured this out, "The P3 lab is almost airtight, and not a single fly can fly out. β
"With the help of Wan Kai's body." "I just hid in a corner that the camera couldn't see, and they thought I was gone, and then they came in in a panic to look for me, and the chef didn't even have time to put on a protective suit, so I parasitized on him for the time being." β
Ge Zi showed a disgusted expression, not knowing what he thought.
"It's just lying on his back." "I have a way to make him not feel my presence, but it does interfere with his mental state. β
"He's actually aware of you." Mu Mu said, "He always felt that someone was watching him, but he didn't expect this watcher to stick to his back." β
"Yes."
Mu Mu felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her face turned a little red.
"Mumu?" Ge Zi asked in a panic, "How are you?" β
"It's okay, the power of the Iron Float is a little low." Mu Mu waved his hand and sped up the speed of the walking car to return to Cassini Station, "Last question, what exactly is the black ball?" β
Da Bai smiled.
"The truth about the black ball, as you imagine."
Mu Mu was stunned, and then showed a ridiculous expression, she shook her head, she wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Mumu?" Ge Zi didn't know what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing, "What is the black ball?" β
When the walking car arrived, Mu Mu opened the door and quickly rushed into Cassini Station, closing the hatch of the airlock room, before she took off her helmet and gasped, her face flushed.
"You want to know what a black ball is?" Mu Mu turned his head to look at her, his face covered with sweat.
Ge Zi nodded.
"The so-called black ball is an absolutely smooth sphere that can absorb all electromagnetic waves, and nothing can peek into its interior, it is a blinding method." "It's just a black mosaic. β

Mu Mu "crunched-" opened the door to the P3 lab, then closed the door, and sat on the floor with Ge Zi, both of them exhausted.
By now, the two have lost hope of being rescued.
The signal of the Buran was fake, it was impossible for them to wait for rescue, no matter whether Da Bai would let the two of them go or not, Mu Mu and Ge Zi couldn't hold out for too long without supplies.
What's more, it is impossible for Dabai to let them go.
Da Bai had already killed Dai Yue, and in order to keep it a secret, it didn't mind killing two more people.
At this moment, Mumu realized why he could see dead things in the dense fog outside, and Dabai said that only people who were close to death could see them clearly, could it be that for this world, it already knew that it was about to die?
She touched her chest, she couldn't sense her body temperature through the thick Iron Float, but she knew very well that the heart was still beating tenaciously in her chest.
Crisp footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, "click", "click", "click", step by step.
This is the iron floating slaughter that the two of them forgot in the tool room.
Mu Mu hugged Ge Zi tightly, and the latter's body trembled slightly.
"Hee-heehe......he
Piercing laughter rang out outside the door.
Immediately after a "snap", Ge Zi looked up and screamed in fright.
She saw a black four-fingered palm over the glass of the P3 lab door.
Is it the palm of the hand?
Is it the body of Dabai?
Or some other weird creature?
Next, the knock on the door rang out one after another.
Ge Zi was so frightened that she was about to cry, but in this vast and uninhabited deep space, who could hear her screams?
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack! Crunchβ"
