"Captain, do you want to eat this gold coin?"

"No, bite with your teeth, firm purity."

Su Xia took the gold coin out of his mouth and wiped the saliva on the gold coin, and there was a neat row of tooth marks on the gold coin.

It's one thing he's wanted to do since he was a kid.

As a child, I used to watch people on TV do this.

"Captain, just let me help you identify, I have professional equipment here." Sarah said with a smile.

"No, you don't understand, it's more ceremonial."

Su Xia tossed the gold coin, smiled slightly, and talked about his childhood: "In my world, biting with teeth is a traditional ......"

Sarah was slightly surprised and blinked.

She asked, "Captain, are you from another planet?" ”

Su Xia nodded: "Yes." ”

"No wonder you got this submarine, it looks like you bought it in the stars."

"No, there are many people like me on this planet, and here, people like me are called undead......"

Susha said a lot, not in a hurry or slowly, and her voice was smooth, helping Sarah understand the situation in the outside world.

This intelligent butler is very smart, almost on the same level as Hal, and it doesn't hurt for her to know more.

Sarah seemed to be very curious, her expression was calm, she listened carefully to Su Xia's story, and gradually had a specific understanding of the outside world, combined with Su Xia's current situation being hunted down by the mechanical clan, she probably understood the situation on this planet.

"I see, maybe this planet was chosen as a game world by a more advanced civilization?" Sarah's eyes lit up, as if she was thinking about something.

"Games?"

Su Xia was surprised, looking at the housekeeper, she didn't expect her to be able to say these two words.

Due to the restrictions of the rules of the system, he did not mention these two words from beginning to end.

Sarah nodded slightly and asked, "Captain, have you ever heard of the 'Star Curtain'?" ”

Su Xia shook his head: "No." ”

"The star curtain is a weapon, also known as a 'civilization deception'."

"Deception? What do you mean? ”

"Captain, you can guess it by listening to its name." Sarah looked up at the sky and waved her hand to draw a circle, "Use a star curtain to replace the starry sky of this planet and seal off the entire planet." ”

"Blockade?"

"Yes, on this curtain, there are meteorites, suns, moons, stars, black holes, and so on depicted by advanced civilizations......"

Sarah spoke patiently, in a calm tone, and said something terrible.

The reason why some planets cannot develop interstellar civilizations is because of the blockade of more advanced civilizations.

On such a planet, their scientists, through various astronomical telescopes, observe the starry universe, which is actually a picture on the "star curtain", not the real universe.

The cosmic signals they receive are processed, and the exploration information they send out is also directly intercepted.

In other words, all the bases for their exploration of the starry sky were planned for them by higher civilizations.

They can see what advanced civilizations want them to see.

If you don't want them to see it, then they won't see it for the rest of their lives.

"Everything is fake?" Su Xia was surprised.

"Yes, the entire planet, countless astronomical scientists, a lifetime of hard work, are all fake, and they are all let known by higher civilizations." Sarah nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Su Xia took a deep breath and subconsciously looked up.

Unfortunately, now that I am at the bottom of the sea, I can only see the dark and unknown water, but I can't see the sky.

After living for so many years, Su Xia never thought about it...... The bright galaxy overhead, the deep starry universe, could it be fake?

Was it deliberately presented by someone else with a weapon of civilization?

"What's the point?" Su Xia couldn't help but ask, "Are all advanced civilizations idle and bored?" Do you have to limit the development of a low-level civilized planet? ”

"It's not that I'm bored."

Sarah chuckled and explained, "This weapon was originally used to restrain the 'Exiled Planet'. ”

"Exiled planet?"

"Yes, an entire planet is made up of prisoners exiled by advanced civilizations."

Sarah nodded and continued: "Captain, you still don't know much about the starry sky now, maybe you don't know, on some planets, the inhabitants of an entire planet are all criminals of advanced civilizations, and this kind of planet is called 'Criminals Planet' or 'Exile Planet', which is a very special kind of civilization. ”

"Leaving criminals on such a planet and not needing a prison?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

"No, not even guards." Sarah shook her head slightly.

"Why is that?"

"Some advanced civilizations believe that prisons are too restrictive of personal freedom and inhumane, and that they need to give criminals more space to operate, such as an entire planet."

"Inhumane?" Su Xia was numb, "What kind of humanity do you talk about criminals?" ”

If a place as big as the planet could be seen as a prison, wouldn't every one of them live in a prison?

Of course, that's not true.

Perhaps in the eyes of those creatures of advanced civilization, those who can get out of the planet are free people, and if they are confined to one planet for the rest of their lives, they are no different from criminals.

"Isn't that kind of criminal planet very dangerous?" Susha asked.

"Yes." Sarah's face became a little more serious, "On those planets, there are crazy bloodthirsty killers, superb psychological criminals, and bloody serial killers...... Sin is everywhere, and death happens every day. ”

"That's ......"

Su Xia probably understood, and he couldn't help but think of Australia.

This approach is to throw a group of criminals on a planet and let them fight among themselves?

You know, the prison is full of talents, what kind of sparks will such a group of people collide with when they are concentrated on one planet?

This kind of planet is comparable to an enlarged version of Arkham.

"In order to prevent criminals from escaping from the planetary prison, advanced civilizations have thought of many ways, and the 'Star Curtain' is one of them." Sarah said.

"I see, is it to stop this group of criminals from developing an interstellar civilization?" Susha asked.

"Yes."

"But there are always exceptions, right? Are there any criminals who have managed to escape from the planet's prison? ”

Su Xia suddenly became a little interested and asked curiously.

Sarah thought for a moment, as if she was looking up her database, and her expression was serene.

After a moment, she said, "Yes, and the most recent time, just over a decade ago, was a well-known supercriminal. ”

"Tell me about it."

"On the edge of the Heinly-Lyon star field, on a planet of criminals with the number 10714."

With a wave of her small hand, a blue light curtain appeared in front of her, revealing strings of data.

On the light curtain, a photograph appeared, as well as a large number of descriptions of the criminals.

Seeing that photo, Su Xia sighed in her heart.

He blinked, and when he looked closely, the person on the light curtain turned out to be Dr. Agar!

Sarah said softly: "This is the super criminal who escaped from the planet, named Agar, who was once a promising genius doctor, and was famous in the Seventh Empire, but later ...... For some reason, he secretly conducted illegal experiments on evil creatures, and when he was discovered, he refused to admit his guilt and injured law enforcement officers......"

Listening to Sarah's story, Su Xia had a very strange feeling in her heart.

He often became the Dr. Agar in psionic hallucinations, experiencing his journey through the stars.

Sometimes he wonders if the things in the hallucination could have happened in real life?

Now that he saw this real person and saw a description of his life, Su Xia had a wonderful feeling that the illusion and the real coincided.

He couldn't help but look at his storage space, where a copy of Dr. Agar's notebook lay quietly.

Because of this notebook, Su Xia learned a lot about the experiments of that evil creature.

It can even be said that on this planet, he is already at the forefront of this kind of biological experiment, and even Mercer and Daddy can't compare to him.

Mercer had been waiting for Subject 28 beneath Coral City to wake up, not knowing what had gone wrong.

And Su Xia could tell at a glance that Subject 28 was pretending to be asleep.

"After that Dr. Agar was exiled, he lived in the capital of the criminal planet 'Sin City' for three years, and because he was a special technology criminal, he was put into a special monitor, and then I don't know how to use it, he actually took out the monitor......"

As she spoke, Sarah noticed that Su Xia's gaze was a little blank, and reminded with a smile: "Captain, you are distracted." ”

"Oh, I just remembered some of the past." Su Xia came back to her senses.

"It seems that the captain is not interested in the information of these criminals."

"No, I'm just thinking about the game you said earlier."

Su Xia put the topic back on track and asked, "If the Star Curtain is used to restrict the civilization development of the criminal planet, then what does this weapon have to do with the game?" Could it be that some advanced civilization would treat the entire planet as a game world? In order to make the game go smoothly, do not hesitate to stop the development of civilization on this planet? ”

"Yes." Sarah nodded.

"Isn't it inhumane to do this?"

Su Xia was puzzled, after all, even criminals could get humanity.

Sarah explained, "Captain, there are many areas of the starry sky above us that are private property. ”

"Well, I see."

Su Xia had seen a lot of information on the wreckage of the spaceship, and when she heard Sarah say this, she immediately knew the reason.

If the entire planet is the private property of someone, then ...... This person can do whatever he wants, even if it's using the whole planet as an amusement park.

"However, this still does not explain our current situation, after all, everyone who comes to this planet has an immortal body." Su Xia talked about the current situation.

If it weren't for that, the players wouldn't be called undead.

"Captain, have you ever thought that every death is actually real."

"What do you mean?"

"Let me give you an example......"

Sarah thought about it, but it didn't seem easy to explain, so with a wave of her little hand, a blue light curtain appeared in front of her.

A string of information and text appeared on the light curtain, presenting a eucalyptus example that had really happened in front of Su Xia's eyes.

The name of this eucalyptus is called [Killing Planet].

"More than 300 years ago, there was an interstellar collector who had a whim......

He wondered what would have become of humanity if there had been no death, if there was no need to worry about life and death.

He planned to conduct a long social experiment, and devoted the rest of his life to this experiment, spending countless resources and countless years to finally create an ideal planet.

"On this planet, there are two kinds of people, one is called 'natives' and the other is called 'adventists'.

"Among them, the natives have only one life, like the NPCs in the game that can be killed, while the Adventists have an immortal body, just like the players in the game.

"Aborigines are the natives of that planet.

"The Adventists, on the other hand, were selected from another planet, and they were all told in advance that they were immortal, as if they were playing a game, so they had no scruples......"

Sarah spoke softly and slowly.

Su Xia's brows furrowed when he heard this, and the more he listened, the more he felt that it was very similar to the situation he was in now, and even many details could be corresponded.

Subsequently, Sarah said a very key message: "As for the 'immortal body', it is not really immortal, every death is a real death." ”

"Is it resurrection through another body?" Susha asked.

"Yes, after the Adventist died, instilled his memories into another identical clone and awakened him in this clone."

Clones!

This is the so-called immortal body, infinite life?

"Of course, Captain, your planet is different from the experimental planet I told about." Sarah smiled lightly.

"Time to die?" Susha looked at her.

"Yes."

Sarah nodded, and in the case she recounted, after the death of the Adventist, it took some time before they could be resurrected at a specific location, the cloning center.

The Adventists did not know that they had been resurrected through clones, believing that they were truly immortal, so they called the cloning centers "resurrection points" or "springs" or "graveyards".

Sarah smiled lightly and said, "On your planet, all the undead can be resurrected in place the next moment of death, and there is no resurrection center, which is a situation that I can't understand either. ”

After all, she is just an ordinary intelligent housekeeper, and she doesn't know much about the starry sky, maybe not as much as Hal.

Su Xia nodded silently and fell into deep thought.

During the exchange between the two, the little exploration robot outside was not idle, talking about the treasure boxes in the wreck and bringing them back to the submarine one by one.

After the exploration of the little robots, on the three decks inside the wreck, there are a total of thirteen rooms with such treasure chests, and each room has more than twenty chests.

If the chest is full of gold coins, based on the gold price of this planet, it is a fortune of more than two billion!

Su Xia can really retire directly and enjoy life.

At this moment, a small robot suddenly sent back a message that it had found something more valuable than gold coins.

"Captain, a sword has been found."

Sarah smiled and reminded: "Don't think too much, what you have now is real, even if this world is really created, it's nothing, even if there is a so-called mastermind behind the scenes, you can't resist now, Captain, right?"

"Well, that's right, I can't resist, I can only enjoy it."

Su Xia shrugged her shoulders, feeling that the butler was right.

His mind returned, and he looked back at the screen in front of him.

Just a moment ago, a small robot found a rusty longsword in the penultimate room on the third deck.

The hilt of the sword is engraved with a figure of a golden fleur-de-lis, most likely the legendary sword of imperial power.

"The sword of power of the Iris Empire suddenly disappeared a hundred years ago, and it was not found until the moment when it was destroyed by the mechanical race." Su Xia looked at the picture on the screen, and information about that empire appeared in his heart.

It is rumored that with this sword comes the supreme power of the empire.

Of course, it's just a legend.

It's all modern, and no one will surrender to anyone else because of a sword.

What's more, now that the entire Iris Empire is gone, the sword is only left as a collector's item.

"If it's really that sword, it should be able to sell it for a good price, and when you run out of money, you can take it out and sell it in the future." Su Xia pondered, "Go to the Western Continent, the people over there will definitely pay a higher price for this sword." ”

……

At the same time, in the southern waters of the continent, above the sea.

Mercer was quietly suspended in the air, his expression was clear, and he seemed to have regained his elegant appearance in a black tuxedo.

He watched the sun set over the sea in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lord Mercer, the nearby islands have been searched, and no trace of the masked monster has been found." A new piece of news has arrived.

"Lord Ink, the nearby sea ships have also been searched, and no masked monsters have been found." Another piece of news came.

The messages were gathered by him like invisible streamers, and the information of the entire mechanical clan converged into an overwhelming web, and Mercer was the center of this net.

As time passed, more and more messages grew.

Mercer's gaze moved slowly.

He bowed his head slightly, his face expressionless, staring at the undulating sea below.
