00925 Chinese New Year Special Part II

Once in the Dark Domain, all detection devices will become useless.

The only thing that can guide you out of here is sentience and the "Quantum Harmonic Device".

Basically, it can be said that Archie at this time is like sitting on a cable car in the fog, and he can't see anything other than the things in the "cable car".

And there are strange cries from time to time.

The voices are said to be whispers from ancient cosmic beings living in the Underworld.

But it is not known exactly whether they are or not, and what they look like.

Archie came with the intention of dying, but to say that waiting for death in this environment, he became desperate to survive again.

Under the suppression of this emotion, Archie felt like he was going crazy.

So he stood up, stuffed it into the trash, and pressed the shred button again.

Then the terrifying background music from the cockpit finally disappeared.

……

"Hey, you don't really want to kill me, do you?" Ask.

Archie is looking at the coordinates of the fourth station.

The fourth stop is a place called "Butterfly Forest".

The "Forest of Butterflies", also known as the "Forest of Blood Butterflies", is an ancient interstellar battlefield site.

The reason why it is named "Butterfly Forest" is because from the interstellar overview map, this interstellar battlefield site with a diameter of about 1.9 million light years looks like a blood butterfly, and from the side, the large number of spatial fissures in the ruins look like dark ancient trees standing in it, so it is named "Butterfly Forest".

This interstellar battlefield site was born about 160,000 years ago, when the "Keynesian Empire", which dominated the entire Northern Regions, began to invade the Universe Beyond Federation in order to open up new territories.

At the beginning, because the war broke out very suddenly, and the Cosmic Super Federation itself lacked defensive capabilities, it was like a bamboo when the army of this interstellar empire pursuing the ancient imperial system was overwhelming, and it only took one year to occupy the Semar Star Cluster, which is the richest in the Cosmic Super Federation.

After the loss of the Thurmar Star Cluster, which is the energy foundation that sustains the entire Universe Super Federation, the Universe Super Federation was extremely furious, and joined forces with the Divine Revelation and the Alien Race to resist the barbaric invasion of the Keynesian Empire.

This battle has been fought for more than 100 years.

More than 100 years later, the royal family of the Keynesian Empire was brutally assassinated by domestic rebels, and the entire empire was almost bloodbathed, and the war finally stopped.

But the scars of the war have not healed to this day.

However, this battle is not a bad thing for the later generations of super-Federation residents.

Because there are a lot of available resources left on the battlefield site, it can be said that the current Butterfly Forest is completely a gold mine exposed to everyone, and it depends on whether you have the courage to dig in this outlaw land under the attack of doomsday fanatics.

Leaned over and looked at the coordinates and said, "Yes, it's a good place again, I'll just say that, even if you successfully leave the dark realm, this butterfly forest will kill you!" ”

Just kidding, now ...... He really wanted to dismantle this, and he didn't have a good word in his mouth!

"Thank you for reminding me, but I still have to send the goods, if you're afraid of death, I'll throw you out of the dark domain."

Shut up when you hear this, it's such a big thing, if it is thrown into the universe, it is estimated that no one will pick it up until the next universe collapse begins.

Archie looked out the window, and it was pitch black, as if it was under pitch black water.

It's upset to watch.

Archie decides to go to the warehouse and walk around, maybe he will come across a broken part, so that he can blatantly open the packages under the pretext of "checking the integrity of the items".

After getting down to the warehouse, Archie bypassed those ordinary goods and went straight to the dozen or so important packages to be delivered today.

Three of them have already been signed, and now this package in front of me, which looks a bit like an oversized banana, is the fourth thing to be delivered.

The sender is a "Super Federation A-level Defense Soldier", named Ye Yuan, who is said to be the eldest young master of the Ye family.

There is no clear name in the recipient column, only a detailed coordinate address.

Comes with a note that says "Be sure to arrive on time".

On time?

Archie dragged his chin and thought for a moment, and said secretly, "It can't be a bomb!?" ’

Just as he was thinking, the cabin suddenly shook violently.

At first, Archie thought it was just a spatial fluctuation in the flight of the battleship, but as the shaking continued to intensify, Archie knew something bad was going on, and he was afraid that those guys who specialized in killing "couriers" were coming.

Thinking of this, Archie immediately authorized the activation of the fully automatic combat robots inside the battleship, although they have no self-will, but the combat efficiency is extremely high, and it is the best defense system in the ship.

After activating the robots, Archie hurried back to the cockpit, turned off, and was now rolling around in the cockpit like a ball.

Hold it up and fix it to the wall, then open the spatial drawing device.

The data displayed later indicates that Archie's battleship has entered a very chaotic space, where the "time-warp engine" carried by the battleship itself becomes extremely unstable as if it has eaten something bad, and it becomes extremely unstable when it operates, so it produces such a violent jitter.

After confirming this, Archie's only option to ensure that the battleship did not fall apart was to turn off the warp engine and "stop" at its current location.

But in this way, it was as if someone had put a noose and had to stop and wait for death.

Archie is in a dilemma.

Depending on the frequency of the shake, the warp engine would hold on for another ten minutes at most, and after ten minutes the battleship would be torn apart by itself, and Archie would surely die.

But ten minutes is enough for Archie to travel through the galaxy at superluminal speeds, and that distance should be enough for Archie to leave the Dark Realm.

But the problem now is that Archie isn't sure how long he's going to be away from the Dark Realm at this point, and if he miscalculates, it will be too much to lose.

So......

After thinking about it, Archie decided to stop and make contact with the "enemy" head-on.

It doesn't take much time to turn off the Time Warp Engine, but there is a strange sense of time gap that feels like everything is slowing down, lasting about one to three minutes, during which time Archie will have to wait for death if an enemy shoots at Archie.

'I'm not going to carry it like that, am I?' ’

Archie thought silently, but in the next second, he saw a black shadow come to him at a very fast speed.

Then, without waiting for Archie to see who it was, it was.

And he lost consciousness.

……

When he woke up again, Archie saw a beam of light, which was very harsh.

He rubbed his eyes, his mind was muddy, and it took him a long time to see that the glare light was emitted by a star several times the size of the sun.

And the reason why it was a beam of light was because he was stuffed into a narrow escape pod, and only from here could he see a little light outside.

What's worse is that Archie wakes up and finds himself being pulled closer by the star, and it seems that it won't be long before he is wiped out by the heat emitted by the star.

'Could it be that I am destined to become the man who walked out of the dark realm alive, sir?!' Yes? Who the hell am I! You can treat me like this! How sad Archie's heart was.

But what's the use of sorrow, he can only use the last time of his life to face the death in front of him.

For a moment, Archie thought of his former self.

Before becoming a super-FedEx commissioner, Archie was a "star scout" in the Glorious Republic.

However, this "scout" is not the other scout, and Archie's job is not to search for tomorrow's stars for the entertainment media, but to go on the road alone, piloting a spaceship to an unfamiliar galaxy to find new colonies for other super-Federation citizens.

This job has been around since humans were on Earth, so it is not a special profession until now.

But this job is not available to everyone, and it is not acceptable to everyone.

After all, every departure can be a journey of no return.

But the young Archie was curious about the unknown, and in his heart, unveiling the mysterious planet was even more exciting than kissing a girl in his first love.

Therefore, from a very young age, Archie was determined to become a qualified talent scout.

Facts have proved that hard work pays off, and hard work pays off.

Archie became a talent scout at the age of thirty-nine and embarked on a journey.

But who would have thought that the first time Archie set off, he met the person he was destined to meet and fell in love with her.

Although there is no explicit rule that talent scouts are not allowed to get married and have children, such a job is still a bit too inappropriate for lovers.

After weighing the choice between staying and continuing the journey, Archie made a promise to his lover that he would give up his job and accompany her as long as he completed a star-exploring trip.

The lover did not object.

But Archie never dreamed that he would be gone for one hundred and ninety-five years.

Perhaps one hundred and ninety-five years is like yesterday for the scouts, because their spacecraft has the most advanced "time warp engine" in the universe, and after the engine wraps around the spacecraft, time will pass outside the spacecraft, but on the other hand, time is constantly slowing down in a constant state inside the spacecraft.

So......

When Archie returned, he learned that the girl who loved him so much had waited until death and did not wait for his return.

This incident hit Archie too hard.

When he stood in front of his lover's grave, Archie clearly felt that the reluctance to kiss and say goodbye to his lover yesterday was still in his heart, but today he had to accept that she had grown old and left the world in loneliness......

Time has become a curse.

For a long time, Archie struggled to get out of the shadows.

Although he could be treated with amnestics, he did not choose to forget.

To this day, more than 190 years later, Archie dreams every night that he has just embarked on a journey.
