Chapter 213: "Ghost Signal"

"I'm a lone wolf, and today is my first ...... I can't remember, but anyway, today was another interstellar adventure for me. ”

"Being a 'prophetic elect' made me a little breathless, so I had to take the risky approach I've always used to relieve my stress."

"But it's only expediency, the fanatical believers with psychic powers will soon find me, and I must try to soothe me as much as I can before they put me back."

"Rather than boasting, I still think my life is legendary, and if I wrote a book about my experiences, I might be the greatest fantasy writer in the galaxy."

"This kind of thing is really incredible, I will use this adventure to verify whether there really can be a 'legend' in the world-"

The entity's journal was closed by the lone wolf, and placed back in his storage bag.

As stated in his diary, he "escaped" this time, and he was distraught by the affairs of the Khan tribe and the "guardians of the Holy Land", and had to come out to take a breath.

He really wasn't interested in these things, and the "authority" of the ruler wasn't as real to him as an interesting alien ruin.

He was also not interested in using the token that the Prophet Zachlan had left him to rally the believers, and it was rumored that he, the "Prophetic Elect", would start a "great holy war" with the righteousness of the prophets, but that thing had actually been crushed to the bottom of the box by him.

However, his identity as a "chosen person" is really known to the followers of the "Guardian of the Holy Land", and there are countless followers of the "Guardian of the Holy Land" who want to inquire about the Prophet from him when he has left civilization forever.

In the end, the lone wolf "ran away" like the prophet, although it was only temporary, but it was also a rare leisure.

Of course, after the first few inexplicable "legendary experiences", the lone wolf has been very careful in the choice of adventure places.

Although he is not afraid, if he is involved in things like the "Great Khan Trial" and "Prophet Elect", then he will only feel "unlucky" because he has always been troublesome.

“…… Let's hope there won't be any 'accidents' this time......"

The lone wolf tapped on the ship's interface, randomly selected a galaxy, and then activated the ship's jump engine.

- Yes, his ship has been fitted with a jump engine, thanks to the help of the Guardians of the Holy Land.

After all, he often ventures in the galaxy, and the regular hyperspace engine is not that efficient, so the followers of the "Guardian of the Holy Land" have revamped his car and added a jump engine that only the Lost Empire can have.

With this powerful faster-than-light engine capable of "teleporting", the lone wolf has been able to travel to places that he once thought were too far away.

With the flow of brilliance, the "shattered space-time" formed when the jump engine was started began to reorganize and maintain the same state as the destination, directly "becoming" the space-time where the entire spaceship was located into the destination.

Although he didn't understand how this engine worked at all, it didn't prevent the lone wolf from lamenting the magic of the Lost Empire's technology.

“…… It's incredible technology, it's hard to imagine how these lost empires have developed......"

The lone wolf pondered, glanced inadvertently in the afterglow, and then was stunned.

The jump destination he chose at random was not the ordinary he imagined, but on the contrary, there were some extremely obvious peculiarities.

The most striking thing is the large number of ships here, and judging by the appearance of these ships, these ships come from different civilizations.

With so many ships gathered here, the lone wolf almost thought he had come to some gateway system.

But after looking at the location of the star map, he confirmed that this was indeed a theoretical "barren galaxy".

There is no thriving network of star paths passing through here, and there are no noteworthy cosmic phenomena happening here, and it stands to reason that this will only be an insignificant one of the hundreds of billions of galaxies in the galaxy.

However, the unexpected happened.

“…… Am I a Mobile Accident Generator? Where to venture out and what's out of the ordinary? ”

The lone wolf couldn't hold back, took out the diary that recorded his legendary life, and carefully observed the spaceship in the galaxy while writing a follow-up to this adventure.

“…… I came to an anomalous galaxy with a large number of ships from different civilizations and unknown purposes. ”

"I've tried to communicate with these ships, but I've received no response, and it looks like they're unmanned."

"I didn't try to land on those ships, but the drones sent to detect them told me that there were no signs of life on the ships, but more than traces of robots."

"Could it be a bunch of robots that drove these ships here?"

"This anomaly reminds me of a little thing that happened in the galaxy lately, and I've heard more than once about the theft of robots and spaceships in civilizations."

"Although these incidents ended with 'an unknown gang of thieves making waves,' my gut told me that there must be something strange about it."

"And this galaxy may be one of the roots."

At this point in the diary, the lone wolf stopped exploring the system and decided to leave.

Although his curiosity is strong, he is extremely cautious in dealing with the "unknown" and does not take risks easily.

He was going to spread the anomalies of the galaxy and see what others were going to do.

But thinking about the anomalous robots that came here, the lone wolf thought of the "guardian" for no reason.

“…… Speaking of which, it seems that the 'guardian' is also a mechanical intelligence, right? This Lost Empire of Machines may have a unique perspective on what is going on here......"

His ship quickly moved out of the gravitational range of the star here and to safety outside the gravity well before it was ready to start the jump engine.

Thinking back to the special features of the entire galaxy, he looked up the information about the galaxy once again.

The introduction to this galaxy is very brief, like most galaxies in the Milky Way, with only one sentence:

"It's a starry system of F-type stars, five barren planets, and a highly toxic planet, and it's unremarkable."

“…… If you want to say that there is the most likely anomaly, the only one is this poisonous planet, right? As soon as the lone wolf came up with this idea, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

Although it is not visible to the naked eye, the drone he left inside the galaxy for surveillance is mearized.

The surface of the highly toxic planet's atmosphere fluctuated violently, as if something upheaval was happening inside the planet.

However, this is not the source of bad premonitions, what is really problematic is a strong string of signals.

This string of signals seems to have existed inside the galaxy for a long time, but it was so weak that it was completely undetectable.

But at this time, this string of signals was strengthened countless times by unknown means, and it burned and spread rapidly like a rooted fire.

Just the moment it received the signal, there was a serious problem with the car that had accompanied the lone wolf on countless space adventures.

All instruments fail at the same time and are not controlled.

The operation interface of the spaceship turned into a bloody color after a flicker.

The disordered characters are arranged on it, which seems to be chaotic, but the meaning of the intention can be vaguely discerned:

[%@#*Kill nsadohdr maiming erud&$% dismemberment 5395714 we are back]

An indescribably strange signal began its contagion journey, which was soon detected by galactic civilizations.

Almost all electronic devices that can receive signals will indiscriminately be infected with this "signal virus" and enter an uncontrollable state.

Its form looks familiar, and has been discovered by more than one civilization, and it is very similar to the "ghost signal" that the "guardian" once transmitted.

This once made them wonder if the "guardian" had another abnormality.

However, what they didn't expect was that almost when this signal began to spread in the galaxy, the real "ghost signal" from the "guardian" actually began to spread in the galaxy.

Galactic civilizations that detected two "ghost signals" at the same time couldn't help but be confused: which one should they believe?
