"You can't open that door!" Steven approached him, he finally understood a little now, Perry's voice was probably transmitted through those strange golden lights, so even though he was wearing a helmet, the light could still enter through the transparent mask, so what he said should be heard very clearly.

"Why not?" Perry smiled and turned to ask him.

"Because of the devil...... Haven't you ever thought about what kind of horror will be released when you open the door? Steven wasn't quite sure that his theory was correct, he just believed that life would continue as it was without opening the door, and that it might not end well when it was opened.

"Honestly, I thought about it." Perry told him at this point. "And thought about it many, many times."

"But I finally figured it out, whatever it was, but what did it matter to me?" He laughed.

"I'm just an insignificant piece of sand in this world, chosen by them by chance, I'm just a tool, and I'm just trying to get out of this thing......" Perry closed his eyes, his golden face glowing with a dark red strange thing, which flickered and dimmed as he breathed.

"We can figure it out together, Perry, you said you were on that curse list, didn't you?" Steven tried to get close to him at this point.

"Yes, you are also on it, which means that if I fail, you will take over my fate." Perry laughed. "You don't know anything, Mr. Steven, the Ascendant...... Or whatever they are, they always have the perfect backup plan, and their minds are like the space behind this portal, not in the same dimension as us at all. ”

"I'm going to have to stop you no matter what, Perry, I can't let you do it." Steven slowly approached him and held out his arm.

"Everything is predestined, Mr. Steven, and if you have the chance, you will surely understand my words." Perry laughed, and suddenly dodged into the portal.

The light and shadow disappeared, and the surroundings immediately fell into pitch black, only the pillar of light from the light on Steven's chest remained in the inky void, not reflected, not visible, and the light seemed to have been completely absorbed by the liquid that gradually subsided in the portal.

Maybe it's really fate? Steven said to himself silently in his heart.

The first half of his life was muddy, but he suddenly had the idea of contract colonization, and the unruliness of his life course was exchanged for an adventure dozens of galaxies away......

Maybe it's all really connected?

The open door, the invasion of the Demon King, maybe he Steven. Taylor can save the galaxy!

He felt a trace of eagerness in his heart, thinking of his family, thinking of his mother, and suddenly clenched his teeth and rushed forward, and he resolutely rushed into the mass of ink, into the nothingness.

As Steven disappeared into the mountain walls, the remaining glimmer of light in the cave was gone, and darkness regained its possession, and everything became unknown again.

……

August 1, 363 Water Shine

The construction of the pneumatic pipeline was unanimously approved by several high-level officials of the Mining Bureau, and the progress of mining was shrinking day by day, and the pressure from the Minotaur was significantly increased, and I can imagine their desperate gamble.

Terry looked triumphant these days, because it was his idea after all, and he clearly hoped to get some kind of reward if the plan was successful.

I poured cold water on him and told him that according to the practice of the Mines Bureau, the proposals submitted by each contract colonist were 'free' in their eyes, because they 'owned' the contract colonies and Heisenberg 'owned' them.

Tommy has been going crazy lately, sleeping very little, and constantly talking to himself, talking about the face to everyone he meets, and constantly talking about the 'key' for no apparent reason.

No one knew what he meant, not even Nancy, who had a college diploma in psychology at the medical clinic. Dr. Boyle, but she was very sure of Tommy's illness.

Fantasy schizophrenia, she said.

But I'm not so sure about her diagnosis.

……

The heart-rending pain was only a short moment, from stepping into the portal to fully entering, Steven felt that he had just knocked open a curtain of water, and did not feel the strange feeling of time and space as he imagined.

What bullshit four-dimensional space? He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, isn't this another huge cave in the mountain wall?

But when he looked around, he heard the sound of gold and iron grinding in his ears, and it lasted for a long time. When he noticed the golden wall that seemed to be far away, and the void under his feet, he couldn't help but become uncertain about what he had just thought.

He saw Perry in front of him, standing dumbfounded, the golden light around him slowly dissipating until his body was completely exposed.

"Your protective light!" Steven screamed, unsure if Perry could hear him in his helmet, but the latter only slowly turned his head to look at him, as if his body was not affected in the slightest.

"There's air and gravity here, and you can take off that hapless spacesuit." Steven noticed that Perry's voice could still reach the helmet at this moment, and the walls on all sides emitted golden light, apparently also having the ability to conduct sound waves.

"I'm not going to take off this damn cosmic suit!" Steven told him out loud.

"Whatever you want." Perry seemed a little distracted, holding the golden object in both hands, and because of the loss of its rich glow, Steven found it to be a palm-sized square gold plate.

"It's finally going to end this, finally ......" Perry's face turned gray, and he looked at Steven and smiled miserably.

"End what?" Steven asked him, but Perry shook his head. "Has you opened the door?" He still hasn't seen any doors.

"Doors? What door? Perry shook his head and laughed.

"The key in your hand, you said you were going to use it to open a door." The preface and the afterword didn't match at all, and Steven felt that this kid was completely crazy.

"Oh, do you want to see how he uses it? Then I can show you. Perry said to him. And there's only one chance, keep your eyes open. ”

"Zana Guga, Misoda, Kurusoda, Jongraimda!" Perry suddenly held up the gold plate, and seemed to be chanting some incantation in his mouth.

At the same time as Perry makes an unusual move, Steven's first reaction is to pounce on him to stop him. However, he was dressed in relatively bloated airtight armor and had difficulty moving, and by the time he rushed closer, Perry's secret words had already been recited, and then a sea change began to take place in the space around him.
