Xinghui didn't give Bu Zongheng a chance to continue talking, he decided to firmly grasp the dominance of the scene, and not allow any bias in the topic to generate fire and possible opportunities. So he turned to the paper and said, "It's your turn, tell me about your trespassing!" ”

When the paper book heard Xinghui's words, it was as if he had woken up from a dream, and moved his gaze from Lang Tianya's body to Xinghui's face. Starlight was keenly aware that the technician had been paying attention to the mud dwarf from time to time, and at first he thought that the book on paper was just unseen and a little curious about such a short person, but now he didn't think so. He found that the number of times he read the dwarfs on the paper was a little too much, which was obviously a bit abnormal, could he have found something on this old Lang's body?

The named paper first smiled at the people around him, and then replied to Xinghui: "I was still in Xianglong City yesterday, and our Aviation Bureau headquarters and two-star passage are located in the southern suburbs of Xianglong City, but I don't work there, I work in the research center further south. Yesterday evening, the large detector in our department measured a strong spatial fluctuation, and after the expert team calculated, it should be the external equipment of a project I participated in researching, a device called the delimitation bead came back from the alien sky. The spatial fluctuation signal showed that the address where it was located was in the area of Anlan District, so I rushed over from Xianglong City early this morning with a small probe device.

"After I arrived, I searched in many ways in the city, and found that the location of the spatial fluctuation was outside the city, so I took the probe and slowly searched, and chased all the way to this village, and finally found that the termination point of the fluctuation was in the room just now, so I broke in...... and I apologized again for my reckless behavior!"

"What the hell is this Boundary Bead, and what is it for? It's not going to be some kind of classified project, is it? Starlight asked, pretending to be curious. In fact, he wanted to talk a little bit about it, to ease the tension just now, and what he meant was that I no longer doubt Bu Zongheng, and you see that I have time to talk about gossip. This is also to let Bu Zongheng and Lao Ye and others relax their vigilance.

The paper book smiled cooperatively and said, "It's okay, it's not a secret." The Boundary Bead is a kind of talisman given by the ancestors to explore the starry sky. This talisman has a high ability to act autonomously, it can break free from the shackles of time and space in the bright world, travel through the dark world completely immersed, and rely on instinct to automatically find planets with aura. After finding it, it will absorb enough aura there and then return. ”

"Since you have detected this delimiting bead and returned, does it mean that it has found an outer space planet with aura?"

"Theoretically, it should be!"

"Interesting. What do you do when you find it, do your research? Is it all about the planet? ”

"This ...... This is a bit of a secret. Let's put it this way, none of us have the right to deal with it, but it is up to the ancestors on the White Jade Star to decide. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.

Starlight also looked up at the sky, knowing that he couldn't ask any more about it, so he continued, "Since you said this bead is nearby, why don't you activate your detection equipment and try it?" ”

"Good!" Walking to the approved paper book, he took out the oven-like talisman from his backpack, grabbed the handle with both hands, pressed the alloy bump, and with a "buzz", the talisman was activated. The paper book slowly scanned the talisman around. In a few moments, he was circumnavigating the field.

"How?" Starlight asked.

"No, I can't. It had been a day and a night since the Boundary Bead returned, and the spatial fluctuations were so faint that they could not be detected. ”

"Then what should I do, won't you be unable to complete the task?"

"It's fine. In fact, we can't do anything if we find it, just check whether there is damage from the outside. But how can a talisman of this level be damaged, it's just a routine for me. This thing is actually useless in the hands of others, except for the ancestors on the White Jade Star, ordinary people can't make it at all, and those who find it will have to hand it in sooner or later. ”

"Ahem!" Lao Ye coughed at this time, and then said, "What you said reminds me of an incident on the Blue Star two hundred years ago. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Starlight said.

Lao Ye smiled and said, "Let's talk about Lao Shi, I also listened to what Lao Shi said." ”

Lao Shi was a strong old man with a red face, sitting on the side of Lao Ye, he looked around at everyone and then fixed his gaze on the face of the paper book for a while, and then turned his head to Lao Ye and said, "Lao Ye, you mean the selection of crossing slaves back then, right?" ”

"Yes!" Lao Ye said.

Lao Shi touched the short white mustache on his chin and began to say, "I don't know if this matter has anything to do with the Boundary Bead, I'll just talk about my experience." More than 200 years ago, when the sky cave above the Blue Star North Pole first opened, and the Soul Eater attacked in a big way, I was serving in the military service in the Eggplant Alliance, and when the first anti-monster war was in full swing, I was transferred to the local area due to injury, and the specific work was to serve as a staff officer in the Civil-Military Coordination Office of the Military Department of the Hechi Country, during which I received a personnel screening notice from the coalition headquarters, and I heard that this notice was a task sent from above. Lao Shi said this, and he pointed upward.

Xiao Bu interjected at this time, he pointed to his feet with his finger, and said, "You mean the notice sent by our Pink Star to the country on the Blue Star?" ”

Lao Shi shook his head, pointed to the top, and said, "It's not our pink star, it should be higher." ”

Xiao Bu suddenly stopped asking.

Lao Shi continued: "The content of the notice is to screen death row prisoners and deserters in the surrounding areas of the Lotus Pond **** Department, and the only condition for selection is to require the person's card slot to be less than 1,000 cards. We had about 800 people elected. Soon after these people were sent away, another order came from above, this time for a nationwide screening, and not limited to death row prisoners and deserters, but this time for criminals and therefore slaves from all over the country. The conditions for selection have also become that the card position must be less than 500, and the character must be cowardly and afraid of death.

"Although our Hechi country is the third most populous country on the Blue Star, the country's population reached more than one billion at that time, and the total number of criminals and slaves combined was at least hundreds of millions. However, it is too difficult to find people with only 500 cards in spiritual power, so we finally only selected about 300 people to send them over, and I heard that most of them are between 400 and 500 calories, only more than 20 people are below 400 calories, and there is no one below 300 calories. Speaking of this, Lao Shi stopped and said to Lao Lang with a smile: "Do you know how rare it is for you to have a low card position?" ”

After making Lao Lang's joke, he continued: "After that, the higher authorities ordered us to conduct this screening twice, but each time there were fewer people than the other. Moreover, all these sinners or slaves that we sent away never came back.

"Until many years later, it was rumored that these large-scale selections were caused by the invasion of the soul eaters by the old immortals on the white jade star, so they sent dozens of beads, asking the nether to screen suitable people to use these beads to travel to the planet of the soul eaters to locate them, and then the old immortals followed the passage and cast large-scale spells to directly attack their old nest planet, solving the problem of the invasion of the soul eaters once and for all."

Xiao Bu asked suspiciously: "It seems that the ancestors' plan failed, now the heavenly cave on the blue star is still there, and the invasion of the soul eater is not less at all, and it seems to be getting more and more powerful." ”

"I don't know what happened next. But before I came here to recuperate due to an injury, the selection program was still going on, and maybe it is still going on. I don't think we can use ordinary people's eyes to speculate on the strategic arrangement of the old immortals, and this kind of final thing can't be completed in a day or two. We should believe in the abilities of the old immortals. Lao Shi said.

Xinghui thought back to the more than 100 years he had been on the Blue Star, and he had a rare impression that in the internal management regulations of the prison, there was a clause that prisoners with very low spiritual power should be kept in solitary house. He had thought it was a protective measure for them, but now it seems likely that the provision had another purpose. He asked, "People are selected for your aviation bureau, right?" ”

The paper book nodded, and then said, "It should be." I really didn't know that there was such a rumor in the Nether that the purpose of issuing the Boundary Orb to outer space was to locate the monster planet and then counterattack. I can't tell if that's true. Because I am only a technician in the bureau, I only study the specific implementation process, and do not involve the ultimate purpose of the project, and it is impossible for my level to know this kind of confidentiality. ”

"Does this demarcation bead need someone to harness it? Aren't the things given by our ancestors spiritual? "As a programmer, Xiaobu is very curious about the performance of this level of talismans.

The paper book smiled bitterly and said: "It's because it's too spiritual, so it needs to be controlled by people." The Boundary Bead does not like to travel in the star space, its nature tends to be full of internal aura, and only the state of full aura is its most comfortable state. However, it consumes a lot of aura when traveling through space, so it will not actively travel through it, and will even find ways to avoid it. For example, it sets the conditions for starting the traversal program very harshly, and then it needs to be prompted by people to traverse. ”

"Then why do you want to be a low-ranking person and ask for a cowardly character?" Boo continued to ask.

"People with a low card position consume the least aura when traversing. The trait of cowardice is one of the harsh conditions set by the Boundary Bead. According to our guess, the reason why it chooses to attach itself to people with this personality is also because this kind of person does not dare to take the initiative to travel through space, so it reduces the possibility of crossing. ”

"So how did you solve this problem?" Xiaobu asked again.

The paper book was silent for a moment before he said, "Torture them." After the Boundary Bead chooses the Crossing Slave, we will torture the Crossing Slave until he can't stand it anymore and subjectively has the idea of leaving this world, so that the Crossing Procedure in the Boundary Bead will be opened and the journey through the starry sky will be carried out. ”

Xiaobu glanced at Lao Lang and thought of his loveless expression and terrifying scars when he first saw him. But Lao Lang just closed his eyes and pondered, his face was as usual, and no one knew what he was thinking.
