The clouds and drizzle are everywhere, and the secrets of the sea of flowers are everywhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Starry Sky Gateway 8051-000#].

For those who have never seen the sea of starry flowers with their own eyes, it is difficult to describe the feeling of being in a fantasy place, even the most gorgeous words. The ethereal sound of singing lingers in the sea of brilliant flowers composed of the phantoms of the stars, and since there are no stars around them, looking up is the starlight in the dark space, but countless clouds of erratic shapes...... Or at least what looked like clouds just suspended in the starry sky above the head, shining brightly on the world. As far as the eye can see, the curvature of the distant horizon can even be clearly seen at the end of this endless world.

The entire surface of the planet is covered by this sea of miniature stars, which Xinglan has come to after quickly scanning the entire surface of the planet with signal codens, and there are almost no objects to be seen on the surface of the planet except this sea of flowers...... The reason why I say almost is because of what Xinglan saw in front of her at this time.

The slender sculpture that had already distorted the laws of the universe by its own existence, and the surface was covered with countless measurement symbols, Xinglan didn't know why she still called it a sculpture, obviously it was not made of rock or metal, but a translucent object with a lingering band of light, but it seemed that something unknown was constantly telling her: it was a sculpture, it was just a sculpture, and it was not really an existence that distorted the laws of the universe at all.

The two slender stereoscopic projections still stood there quietly, and they could only vaguely see that the faces of the silver iris seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and they were just an ancient photograph that had been frozen for countless years, staring at each other, holding one end of the thin ruler respectively.

If at first Xinglan thought that it was her own appearance that caused these two figures to emerge from nothingness, now she can be sure that this is not due to her at all, and she doesn't know if it is because the equipment is too old and causes it to malfunction or because it was set like this at the beginning, those two figures appear and disappear from time to time, it is completely a timed change, when they disappear into the air at the same time, only the thin ruler is left on this sea of starry flowers and is quietly suspended.

It seems that there is nothing else worth paying attention to on the surface of this planet, if there is any secret equipment hidden here, then it can only be underground, but when Xinglan tries to use signal prons to infiltrate the planet's underground, he encounters some kind of spatial fault...... That's right, if you want to block the passage of the signal that is space debris, then there must be some kind of defense layer that cuts off the space.

This question made Xinglan feel a little helpless, as a means of blockade in space, it is impossible for either electromagnetic waves or gravitational waves to penetrate the past, unless it is the closure of the instrument that directly controls the creation of spatial faults, otherwise it can only forcibly stretch the structure of this space to fuse the two sides together, but the huge energy required is not something that these signals that act alone can provide.

However, it was this strange obstruction that made Xinglan more sure of his thoughts, there was definitely something different under this planet, and it might even be the core of this huge cosmic double helix belt, who knew what would be hidden inside?

However, although she knew that there was a problem there, Xinglan still had no way to explore the world below the surface, so she put the matter on hold for the time being, but what prompted her to focus her attention here again was something unusual that happened.

A sea of stars and flowers, and a hazy drizzle......

It may seem hard to believe, but there was a sudden light rain above this sea of phantom flowers, and the source of this rain was those clouds in the sky that looked unusual on the outside, but anyone with a little common sense would know how strange it was that those clouds that shimmered like the sun could still rain.

Those clouds, not clouds. This rain, not rain.

Those rains are definitely not ordinary water, Xinglan is very sure of this, she originally planned to scan the atomic structure of these rains through signal codes to find out what they are after they fall, but this plan is quickly frustrated, because these raindrops will not be covered with water on the ground at all, once they come into contact with those tiny planetary phantoms, they will turn from the original rain into a hazy mist in an instant, wriggling and intertwining in the air like living creatures, It completely enveloped a large sea of flowers nearby.

A strong sense of being watched suddenly appeared, as if something was looking at the place with a scrutinizing gaze, without malice or kindness, a cold gaze that was completely impersonal.

The ripples in the air suddenly changed, but fortunately, the previous coded library was still functional, so Xinglan was able to quickly understand the meaning, but the situation seemed to be ...... Something is not good.

[The whole territory life scanning is on, and the self-detection of the star catalog is in progress......]

Xinglan is not an ordinary physical creature, and the signal itself is a shadowless and invisible existence, so for the first time in her life, she experienced the feeling of being stare at with her hair blown up, without any signs or abnormalities, but she soon understood that her whereabouts had been discovered, and the most terrifying thing was that she didn't know how she was discovered.

[Authorized to trace the source of abnormal readings...... The target has been successfully locked. 】

[In the determination of species type, the ...... of target-related parameters are being collected]

【Warning! Anomaly Reading Detection Moves to Sub-Advanced Authorization Mode! 】

[Determine the target is...... Intelligent integration of tiny space debris. 】

"It can't be!" Xinglan almost exclaimed, the scan was clearly aimed at her, and she was horrified by the sheer amount of information it had found...... She didn't even know how the other party was scanning, and it was clear that there was no more time for her to think, and the fog that spread in front of her suddenly contracted and expanded regularly, like a huge beating heart, while the overall outline became smaller and smaller.

The mist turned into a liquid mass again, and each drop of transparent liquid moved and merged with each other in the air as if it had a life of its own, and they did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air in an anti-gravity attitude, forming a larger and larger liquid mass, and soon began to spread into the distance, gradually flattening and flattening, and finally became a transparent floating ocean above the phantom flower sea several meters above the ground, and the waves fluctuated in waves.

Xinglan still gathered the signal in place and did not move, she knew that the other party was completely able to confirm her position, and it was useless to move, and what happened next also proved her guess, because the clear liquid ball in front of her continued to tremble and stretch again, becoming slender and convex, and finally a small ball of transparent liquid broke away from the main body, floating in front of her like a water ball in gravityless space, and firmly contracted into a complete ball.

A faint and almost imperceptible silver light flashed in this transparent liquid ball, and Xing Lan knew that it was the energy after the sudden change in the spatial structure was releasing the decay energy, because as this light flashed, a black sphere suddenly appeared in the center of this small liquid ball, and from the outside, it looked like an obsidian.

It just floated there, and there were no lines or devices visible on the surface, but Xinglan somehow knew that this was the thing that had been watching her in the shadows, and that was the real core.

It sounded weird, neither Xinglan nor the obsidian orb core had eyes, but they were both quietly watching each other, knowing that the other was also watching them at this time.

Xinglan didn't speak, she knew that the other party was taking the initiative to find her at this time, so she just stared at the other party and waited silently.

She was right, after about three minutes of this staring confrontation, the black sphere wrapped in the transparent liquid ball in front of her suddenly vibrated slightly, and bursts of regular ripples radiated around it, and it was completely received by Xinglan without any suspense, and the meaning of it was even more surprising to her.

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time...... "The first thing the other party said was not to talk about business, but to sigh, and the most strange thing was that its emotion seemed to have no ups and downs, but a mechanical stiffness.

Kindness...... Don't think that only ordinary sound waves can express emotional fluctuations, in fact, any fluctuation can become a carrier of emotions.

"For a long time? How long exactly? Xinglan responded to the other party in the same language coding pattern, and she knew that the other party was waiting for her reply.

"The main fleet reference system is 866 years, and the self-reference system of Star Gateway 8051 is more than 37,000 years old......" The obsidian-like sphere elaborated, without any dissatisfaction or excitement, just a straightforward statement of the fact, "I didn't expect that there would be guests from afar in a long-forgotten land......"

Xing Lan was slightly stunned, and after increasing her thinking speed, she quickly discovered the suspicion in what she said just now: "Year? The unit length of time you're referring to is about ......"

"It's the kind of unit you're using." It seemed that she had already expected the question that Xinglan was going to ask, and before Xinglan could finish asking, the obsidian sphere directly emitted a burst of ripples to answer her doubts.

"It can't be!" Xinglan exclaimed, but she quickly realized her gaffe, "I mean, how could you possibly know my habits...... No, there's no way someone can force access my memory! ”

The obsidian sphere was silent for a moment, as if hesitating for something, but it eventually responded in that faint tone: "Yes, your memories are carried by the soul and protected by unobservable quantum states, and no one can forcibly read your memories. ”

"Then how do you know the unit of time I'm using?"

"I don't know, I know it from other beings." The obsidian sphere spun in place a few times, observing Xinglan from all angles, "The omnipresent is always staring at you, and you can't detect its observation, not even the being who locks down the star sector, but there is no malice, yes, no malice. ”

The omnipresent one...... Watching me all the time?

The information revealed in the words was shocking to Xinglan, and if this was the case, then it would be too shocking, she stared at the obsidian sphere and asked, "So, who are you?" ”

"......" The obsidian sphere was silent for a long time, and just when Xinglan thought it wouldn't answer, it finally replied, "You can call me Replica Three, a botched failure that ended up being abandoned here." ”
