"This box that seems to be able to hold a galaxy would be a wonderful hiding place, as long as I hide it in a place where no one can find it, and I bring enough slaves into it, my life will be very promising......"

The Grand Duke cherished this strange chest that he had stolen from the hapless scientific research team of a certain civilization, and which he had once only collected for its extremely rare properties, had now become a lifesaver for him.

"But...... None of those fools could find out the secret...... Sure enough, aren't the top people useless to me at all? ”

In order to crack the secret of this box, the Grand Duke secretly kidnapped many scientists, hoping that they would be able to solve the problem of the box, or at least let him live in it.

However, after seeing how much the galactic civilization abhors the "unexpected enemy", the Grand Duke who holds such a sensitive warship does not dare to make any more movements, for fear that someone will think of him, and then directly characterize him as a "silver traitor" and exterminate him.

He can't touch those top scientists who will cause a sensation in the galaxy when he travels, so he can only target many second-rate or even third-rate scientists, and he can't extinguish them, and he must send people back completely.

Therefore, after the captured scientists were useless, he had to use cumbersome amnestics to make those people not remember the incident, and then send them away through his "return spaceship".

After countless failures, the Grand Duke is so desperate that he is even ready for the future, wanting to secretly live in seclusion on an indigenous planet and survive one day at a time.

But suddenly, a communication that he focused on was echoed, giving him a glimmer of hope.

The idea of kidnapping scientists to help him with his research was no longer feasible, and he had to find a curator who paid him to help him discover the secrets of the magical box.

To be on the safe side, he only sent some of the conspicuous parts of the boxes to the curators, and did not hand over the boxes themselves to them for study, and what he didn't expect was that the curators would reply so quickly.

So after opening the communication panel with excitement on his face, the Grand Duke carefully read the content of the curator's response.

"Hello, Anonymous X."

"The images you send out are blurry, and the data you give is full of errors. We know you're trying to hide something, but are you trying to get our scientists to waste precious brain cells in discerning what works and what doesn't from a pile of garbage? ”

"This is an insult to our genius mind!"

Seeing this, the Grand Duke even almost suffered a cardiac arrest, he didn't expect that his insurance measures would actually cause great disgust among the curators.

But when he continued to look at it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"We wanted to reprimand you like this, but given the amount of 'sponsorship' you've given, we've decided to try to help you solve this problem as much as possible."

"Judging by the useful data you've given me, as well as the video footage, this box does contain a galaxy."

"Based on a subtle phenomenon that occurred on the surface of the box, we confirmed that it used a certain effect of the subspace field to isolate the galaxy-sized space from the real universe, creating a kind of sub'subspace' between the real universe and the subspace."

"The nature of this subspace is closer to the real universe, and it can even directly locate the location of the subspace with a carrier located in the real universe and save it in the physical universe."

"As for the way to open it, we don't think there is one at the moment."

"According to speculation, this box is most likely a 'souvenir' item, and I probably didn't think about opening it from the day I loaded it. At our level, if we try to open it, it will most likely lead to the destruction of its internal subspace, let alone enter it from the outside. ”

"Perhaps only the civilization that has thoroughly mastered this technology can turn it on and off at will."

"We are interested in the object itself, and we can give a very high price if you are willing to transfer it."

"To show our sincerity, we can give you an additional piece of information—"

Originally, the Grand Duke only saw the words "powerless" in the curator's information, but after seeing the last sentence, he held on to a glimmer of hope and prayed that the curator could bring him good news.

But after reading the last galaxy word by word, the Grand Duke's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

"——With your barren level of appreciation, you can't naturally see the hidden mystery on the box, but our superb academic ability still discerns the process used in the box through the images you provide, and the similarity with that used by the 'guardian' is as high as 99.8%."

"If this is the 'Guardian' relic, then you'd better keep it a little safer, and it's best to hand it over to us for safekeeping, you should know how crazy the adventurers of the galaxy are about the 'Guardian' relic now."

The words behind the Grand Duke had no time to look at it anymore, and to his disbelief, this thing was actually the "guardian"?

He deliberately hid a lot of key information when he sent it to the curator for identification, one of which was that his car reacted to this thing!

Until now, he clearly remembered that the group of scientists with this box passed by his galaxy, and the automatic operating system on his car, which was always silent, actually sent a message.

The text reads: "Z-2999 Lost Property Detected, Please Note Recovery".

In order to find it, he even had his men board the ship to meet the enemy, instead of directly destroying it as he once did.

He was convinced that the box was the lost item of the "Z-2999" mentioned by the ship's automatic operating system, and after experiencing the "Unexpected Enemy" crisis, based on the situation of his car, he thought it was the product of the "Accidental Enemy".

But now the curator told him that it was actually a "guardian", and the secret behind it sent chills down his spine.

Since his spaceship, which is suspected to be from an "unexpected enemy", will still react benignly to the relics of the "Guardian", will the battleship that destroyed the "Central Processing Unit" of the "Guardian" also ......

His thoughts snapped to a halt as the lights inside the ship began to flicker on and off.

The automatic operating system right in front of him also inexplicably went into standby without instructions, and judging from the image on the operation screen, it seemed to be waiting for a link to "what".

Suddenly, the Grand Duke's pupils shrank, not because of the dark green battleship that suddenly appeared in the galaxy, but because of the content in the automatic operating system:

["Guardianship Matrix" has been detected, and the control of "Stellar Engineering Equipment Type B" is being handed over, please wait for ......]

The ship's systems are returning to their original state, and the modifications made by the Grand Duke to allow him and his men to live in the ship are beginning to be refreshed by the ship's own equipment.

Cosmic radiation is seeping into the interior of the spacecraft uncontrollably, which is itself designed to be unmanned and has internal equipment that protects against radiation but does not protect organic life.

The wailing voices of his subordinates still lingered in his ears, but the consciousness that disappeared with suffocation and hypothermia was only thinking about one thing:

"'Guardian'...... And not dead? ”

The stars twinkled, then brightened again.

No one in the galaxy noticed, and the Grand Duke of Silver Star, who had been raging for a while, and whose hands and eyes were all over the sky, died quietly in a vacuum.
