It turns out that "Living in Light" is not just an ordinary space prison, but also a testing ground for the distortion effect of time and space. A long time ago, Shen Chao had discovered that when only one space-time door was opened, the space-time flow rate between the two planes would be unequal.

At that time, he did not have enough time and energy to investigate the specific cause. But the strategic value reflected in the phenomenon itself inspired him at the time. Later, after the initial establishment of the space-time gate network, he had enough resources to study these magical phenomena.

His research group began to focus on this phenomenon of space-time distortion and observed its effects through various realities. The prisoners held in the bare dwelling were actually their test subjects. They are in a barren plane, with only a manageable space-time portal connecting them to the space prison they are in.

This space-time gate is constantly enlarged and reduced in diameter, affecting the distortion of space-time, causing changes in the flow rate of time, providing scientists with a number of jùs. Due to the huge difference in the speed of time and space, the prisoners will spend much longer than they thought their sentences here.

Although it seems to a prisoner like Hannibal himself that he has only spent a little more than a year here, in the "normal" timeline of people in the planes controlled by the Council of other planes, the speed of time is completely different.

The more than one year he spent in the light residence was only two days here. In other words, the sentence he actually served that was recognized by the Council of Time and Space was only 2 days! When told of this terrible truth, Hannibal was instantly frightened like everyone else who had just learned the truth.

He thought that he had already transcended the low-level emotions of ordinary people and shook off the reaction of fear. But after the gap in time really appeared in front of him, he was still completely shocked.

The feeling of powerlessness in the face of time gave him a great shock, even if he didn't think about anything else, just the sentence, and calculated the sentence according to this distorted method. In fact, he will never come out at all.

And if this negotiation fails, there is a good chance that he will be sent back to the light house. Fortunately, the end result was a successful negotiation. He couldn't predict how Vader would interact with the expedition in the future, but at least his own fortunes had changed for the better.

"Your request for a reduction has been approved, and you will be transferred to a new prison to serve the remainder of your sentence." If we still need you in the meantime, you will be contacted by a team member. One more thing, doctor. I advise you to quit your unhealthy eating habits, otherwise we may not have the next chance to meet. ”

Shen Chao announced the arrangements for Hannibal as easily as confirming the recipe at the dinner table, and he gave a commutation and transfer to prison as agreed. The transfer destination is Base 2 on the main plane. Base 2 has been abandoned for a long time as a base of operations and has recently been converted into an independent base of operations.

It is inhabited, or imprisoned, a group of top-tier criminals scavenged by expeditions from various planes. These people are all top talents in various fields of the crime industry, and from time to time they will be offered jobs by expeditions, using their special talents to do things that the expedition itself disdains or is unwilling to do.

In exchange, the expedition offered them a reduction in their sentences and improvements in their living conditions. Although nominally a prison, Century Run here is more like a resort hotel. In addition to not being able to leave freely, the prisoners' lives here are quite nourishing.

After getting Shen Chao's promise, Hannibal finally let go of his heart hanging these days. He finally didn't have to worry about being sent back to that space-time disordered prison. However, he still has some things he wants to take this opportunity to propose, otherwise he may not have a chance in the future.

"Wait a minute, I only have one question before I get escorted away, how is Clarisse?" Hannibal asked suddenly. The Clarice he mentions here is referring to the trainee FBI agent he met on the parent plane.

As the only woman he'd seen in years, Claris. Starling hasn't been in contact with him for a long time. But it left a lot of marks on his heart. It can even be said that he fell in love with this trainee FBI agent.

Due to the interference of the expedition, he was unable to deepen his mutual understanding with the woman. However, on the way to the space station a few days ago, he unexpectedly met Starling and learned that the other party had become an agent of the internal investigation department under the Space-Time Council.

It was an accident, and Starling wasn't on the recruiting list for any of the expedition's subordinate departments. Although she is an excellent agent, she is far from being good enough to attract the attention of the expedition team, at least not yet.

The reason why she was taken by the expedition to her own control area was a complete accident, and after Hannibal's "disappearance", she rushed to the scene as soon as possible and followed a little trace to the small convoy that the expedition team used to evacuate in the city.

The mission commander at the time simply tied her back to avoid further official obstruction. After that, Starling was also held in a light punishment area for a time, and was soon released. When asked if she wanted to stay in its entirety or to have some of her memories erased through minimally invasive brain surgery and put them back on her mother's plane, she chose to stay, like any normal person.

After that, she became an agent for the newly established Internal Investigation Department through the examination of the government department. For her personally, staying in the expedition's control area was a helpless move at first, but for her admirer, Dr. Hannibal. This is the "unexpected joy".

Starling's presence revived his desire for a "passionate life", and although he knew that his chances were slim, he was willing to take the risk of asking questions. It can be seen that even this murderer has the physical and mental needs of normal people.

"She now works in the internal affairs department, and the nature of her work is classified. But recently her name has appeared on the next expedition recruit list, and if she can prove that she is qualified to join my expedition, then I can arrange for her to be your point of contact. Shen Chao first gave the other party the good news, and then changed his words, ready to dispel the other party's expectations.

"However, I doubt that she is capable of making guò selections. My expedition only takes the best of the best, and she's a good agent, but she's clearly not good enough to catch you. In light of this, I don't think she can pass the guò assessment. After Shen Chao finished speaking, he motioned to the team members to take Dr. Hannibal, who wanted to stop talking, out of here.

After seeing off his advisor, he began to focus on his current job, and after 3 days of treatment, Vida finally regained his youthful appearance. Although due to the stimulation of drugs and the loss of muscle memory, he was not able to control the newly attached limbs completely freely.

But seeing that he was back to normal, he couldn't wait to meet Padmé. Shen Chao did not disappoint him, and arranged for the two of them to meet on the same day, and watched their reunion from a distance with Luke, who had just returned here.

"Thank you, thank you for doing a good job, I never dared to think that I would meet my parents, let alone see them reunited. We all owe you a debt that we can't pay off......" Luke, dressed in black with two dark circles on his face, thanked him.

Dressed in fatigue, he had spent the last few days at another expedition's base, working tirelessly to supplement the expedition's information about his mother's plane. Before he left his father, he was not pushed away by Shen Chao, but he asked Shen Chao to join the expedition and was taken to "make up the class".

Although Shen Chao was very interested in developing Luke, the "No. 1 Hanger" of the Star Wars plane, as his team member, the timing was still not right, he didn't want the other party to join the expedition team under the wrong understanding and eventually part ways.

To Luke at the time, the expedition probably looked no different from the rebels he supported. But in reality, the two are very different in nature, and unlike the rebels supported by Luke, the Spacetime Expedition has never been an idealistic containment site.

Although the mainstream values here are very normal, no one will take risks to achieve some kind of political ideal. Everything the expedition team did was only for its own development and construction, and although the team members came from the group of ordinary people from all planes, they were not directly responsible for the group they came from. Only those who recognize this and can accept it will join the expedition.

Luke's personal heroism, while romantic, does not at all fit the expedition's view of development. So he was assigned to observe the expedition's plan of action and what would have happened to his parent plane.

In the past three days, he watched all 6 films and a large number of official spin-offs, and these rich materials made him basically understand his position in the story and the painful tests that his mother plane will face.

And the expedition not only did not destroy the idea of destroying the Empire, but pinned its hopes on cooperation with the Empire. This was hard for him to accept, but after seeing firsthand the combat power of the Encounter Maniacs, he could only admit that it was the best way to preserve the galaxy's war potential. Therefore, although he was very disgusted with this plan, he still did not object.

However, after such a spiritual baptism, he temporarily lost interest in joining the expedition. The organization was strong, but it didn't have the idealism he wanted. For a young man as purposeful as him, this is unacceptable. Shen Chao didn't seem to care about Luke's change in attitude at all, and continued to talk to Luke.

"You don't owe me anything, Luke. I did you a small favor, but you have helped me do what I wanted, and our help is mutual. The rest is what your father should be concerned about. If our cooperation can continue smoothly, perhaps the war madman will no longer be a threat in the near future. I would also have enough force to defuse similar crises in multiple planes. You see, it's a win-win situation! (To be continued......)
