The dark and silent starry sky is dotted and twinkling with stars. Listening and gazing in the silent place, it seems that you can taste a trace of the sound of the loud sound and the invisible mystery of the elephant from the intricate and gorgeous light and dark.

Looking out of the porthole to the other side, I don't know how many light years away, three or two nebulae were gently waving colorful water cloud sleeves in the mist, lazy, and after a while, they returned to half-dreaming and half-waking.

With a slight jolt, a pair of chela-like robotic arms with large metal mesh pockets poked out from under the portholes and slowly stretched out towards the sides of the spaceship.

Suspended in space, this light ship that looks like it's ready to hunt, nicknamed "The Scavenger", is actually designed to clean up space junk from interstellar waterways, space jump points, or near airports, and is nothing more than a civilian ship with no offensive power at all.

At this moment, between the several pillars of searchlight, a void in front of the scavenger's bow suddenly burst into bursts of lilac bubbles, one after another, as if the water was about to boil. What's even more strange is that this "boiling" only happens on a plane the size of a football field, and the surrounding space is not affected! It didn't take long for the bubbles to burst and disappear in circles. At this time, when you look from the side, you can only see a bunch of undulating purple "bubbles".

"Tides at one-way spatial hopping points....... I never get tired of seeing this scene! ”

In the scavenger's cockpit, a black-haired teenager casually entered a series of commands on the control console, and the hull of the ship slid out of an arc lightly, from the side to the back. And from the current direction, it is actually a complete starry sky, and there is no abnormality at all!

Then, a pillar of purple light the thickness of a tree ejected from the area that had just "boiled" forward, heading towards a gray-white asteroid not far away. The naked eye can see that the pillar of light flickered and disappeared into the backlit area of the asteroid, and then turned into a burst of meteor shower fireworks. After doing this several times, the frequency of the purple light column gradually decreased, and the color gradually darkened, and finally stopped after a while.

"I'll go with you to see the meteor shower, fall on the flea star, and let your tears fall on my shoulder......." The brunette boy hummed a song to suit the occasion as he steered the scavenger back to his previous position. At this time, as the light of the distant star swept around the flea star to this starry sky, it was easy to find that it was already covered with all kinds of strange space junk, roughly floating and spreading outside from the direction where the purple light pillar was ejected before. So, the scavenger waved a pair of big claws, opened his bow left and right, collected these space junks one by one, stuffed them into his fat abdomen, and in a short time, he cleaned up a small half of the space junk that gushed out with the tides of time and space.

However, the black-haired boy didn't notice that on the edge of the purple area that had almost dissipated behind him, a small piece of metallic object was originally floating back in the direction of the space junk stream. Then, the unknown object suddenly flipped and slowed down to make a roundabout, hovering for a very short time before chasing the slow-moving lobster without hesitation. Then, behind it, the purple area flickered twice and finally extinguished.

"Virus Detection....... Safe. Material Detection ...... Hiss....... It's unknown!? The database on the scavenger is automatically linked to the star network and updated in real time! The black-haired boy took off his protective gear, took out the metallic space relic from the detection instrument, and played with it in his hand, "This ....... It looks like it should be the scepter ....... of a prehistoric civilization".

"The material structure is a bit similar to Kuijin, but what metal can compare to the great Kuijin?! Hehe, I hope to go to the flea chamber of commerce for a while to get back two small dollars, you must know that people nowadays, the most important thing may be antiques. ”

Although he said this, the black-haired boy still raised the slap-long scepter in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. At this glance, my eyes were almost attached to the fine, undulating lines on the scepter, and then it took a few minutes before I swirled the scepter very slowly and carefully.

"This link loop....... I'm afraid it's really a magic pattern product! A wry smile appeared at the corner of the black-haired boy's mouth, "Then, I'm afraid I really won't have any other use for me except for some money......"

It's just that in this moment, a cold sweat has broken out on the young man's forehead, his face has turned a little pale, his expression has become haggard, and his attention has turned back to the work at hand.

After nearly half an hour or so, the boy crackled and typed in a series of commands on the console, and the scavenger turned around and headed towards the spaceport above Flea Star in front of him.

According to the speed at which the scavenger was currently navigating itself, it would take some time to return to the spaceport, and the boy who had finished his work became idle, and his black and white eyes occasionally glanced at the scepter next to him.

"Two minutes, well, just two more minutes!" The boy muttered, finally convincing himself, grabbing the scepter and walking briskly to what looked like a laboratory area behind the cockpit, placing the scepter in one of the oven-shaped instruments.

Inside the instrument, the weightless scepter was silently suspended, and with the sizzling sound, several slender beams of different colors staggered back and forth on it.

Soon, the beams were concentrated in the textured area on the scepter, and at the same time, the holographic projector on the side of the instrument began to synchronize the imaging process.

The scepter originally looked like a pitch-black miniature version of the dragon pillar, the main body was an upright human body suspected of being a priest, and it was supposed to be the position of the left leg, starting from the bottom by a creature that looked like a snake but not a snake, and a dragon and not a dragon went up and poked out above the villain's head, and the creature's back near the head was even more open to the left and right with a pair of wings!

The dragon-like creature had its head hanging slightly, its eyes closed, and its wings bowed and ready to soar into the air. The movement and calm of the nine heavens, but the two postures seem so harmonious and natural, and they are natural.

Drip, drip.

The scanning beam stopped, and a lifelike dragon-like creature was imaged on the holographic projection, suspended there, as if an unknowable force had freed the creature wrapped around the scepter from its confinement, and it became three-dimensional, as if it were a living thing.

Around the cylindrical shape of the hologram, there is a constant waterfall of fluorescent colors, such as complicated data streams, formulas of different lengths, obscure symbols, etc.

The teenager's hands are swiped on the holographic interface, and the image is rotated for a while, zoomed for a while, and then pulled out a part of the image for a closer look.

"This is what the old man called the magic pattern...... I didn't expect that the tattered instrument he assembled casually could really read the data of the magic pattern......"

The young man muttered, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his backhand, and his face was obviously a little paler. At this time, he was comparing the two scales of the dragon-like creature on a hologram.

And the time passed quietly, nearly ten minutes had passed.

On the top of the image, the scale armor that was originally the size of a fingernail is enlarged again, and it is the size of a palm, which looks like a hollow pot with a "pot lid" and an upside-down button.

"In this way, the magic pattern really seems to be a piece of VLSI that has been stretched and 3Dized......

With the tap of the young man's fingers, the part of the scale armor was extracted and magnified more than ten times. At this time, it can be clearly seen that each circuit of these "integrated circuits" is actually linked by countless various lines through various mysterious ways.

However, when the teenager's hands continued to stroke on the image several times, trying to zoom in again, the image became blurry, and from time to time there would be flickering, and he could only vaguely see that the parts seemed to be able to be subdivided into smaller parts. It seems that this has reached the current functional limit of this instrument.

At this time, the boy seemed to be completely unaware that not only his movements had become like slow-motion playback, but also his speech speed had slowed down. It's just that the eyes with single eyelids are getting brighter and brighter, and there is a little bit of "eyes like torches".

"Can you still ...... Subdivision....... Is it nine dollars....... Hey....... Overclocking ....... Belch....... Here we go again......"

So, the boy slowly closed his eyes, sat down on the deck, and lay down on his side softly, but at some point he stuffed something similar to a "teething stick" in his mouth.

However, after a few breaths, the expression on the face of the boy who seemed to be exhausted and fell asleep suddenly changed, as if he was experiencing a nightmare. His brow furrowed, his forehead bruised, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down the deck, and a howl resembled that of a dying beast came from his throat and nose. Soon, his eyes opened suddenly, rolling his eyes like dead fish, his limbs twitched violently, his body bounced on the deck like a dehydrated fish, and from time to time he slammed his head against the deck, and his face was even more hideous.......

If it weren't for the protection of the "teething stick", no one would have suspected that the teenager would bite his tongue and commit suicide in the next second.

At this time, the magic patterns on the scale armor glowed with a faint light, and slowly circulated in a peculiar rhythm, giving people a feeling of coming to life.

Then, in the oven-like apparatus, the scepter slowly pierced through unhindered, levitating in the air and floating above the boy's head. A dark, almost hologram-like dragon-like creature swam out of the scepter, paused for a moment, and then slipped straight over the boy's head...... Then, it never came out again......
