Shuhime wrote the content of the transaction agreed by the two parties into the "Rift" contract in the form of supplementary terms.

The familiar burning sensation immediately rose from the center of his back, as if a soldering iron had been pressed against his skin, and although he had experienced it more than once in the past, Xia Ye couldn't help but straighten his slender waist, and his whole body trembled slightly.

She was curious if Xiu Ji would feel the same way, but the other party just narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face, and after a while, the burning sensation finally subsided, and Xia Ye's tense body suddenly relaxed. Almost at the same time, Xiu Ji also spoke:

"It's so unbearable every time I change the contract...... But I can't stop it, Lord Summer Night is really a bad taste~"

"Me?" Summer Night pointed at herself and tilted her head in confusion.

"Of course it's Lord Summer Night~" Xiu Ji chuckled while stroking the skin below her navel, "This is a witch contract, only witches can make it, it's not Lord Summer Night, who else can it be~"

"Xiu Ji-" A voice suddenly sounded in Xia Ye's body, and she was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was Hua speaking.

"Don't cross the line." Flowers said.

"Yes, yes~"

Xiu Ji obediently stopped the conversation, and with a flick of her fingers, the diamond-shaped cutout in her lower abdomen was filled with "cloth" again, obscuring the mark of the "rift" contract. When she looked at the summer night again, her expression had become serious:

"Now that the contract has been established, Xiu Ji will activate this head for Lord Summer Night now."

With her words, the gum that filled the crack suddenly began to squirm, making a strange sound that had never been heard before on a summer night, as if seeing her doubts, Xiu Ji took the initiative to explain:

"This rift is currently connected to the planet I live on, but the thing that can activate the head is in another place, so Shuhime needs to move the other end of the rift."

"Oh...... That thing is huge? "Summer night guesses.

"It's pretty big, just a little smaller than me."

How big is it to be a little smaller than you......

Just as Xia Ye wanted to ask like this, Xiu Ji's voice had already sounded again: "Ah, okay. ”

The black gum receded to both sides like a receding tide, revealing the scene behind the fissure, and Summer Night's eyes widened in surprise after just one glance.

Is that......?!

"You can put your head through the rift to see." Xiu Ji prompted, "That way you can see more clearly...... Rest assured, even if the fissure closes suddenly, you can't cut the head off from your body – they're not that easy to cut off. ”

Xia Ye didn't hesitate to let a head fly towards the rift as Xiu Ji said. The sight was so shocking that she would rather take a risk than see it in its entirety.

The moment he passed through the rift, he felt weightless, surrounded by a quiet black curtain dotted with countless bright points of light - the head had gone into space.

Nearby, a huge sphere was burning with blazing flames, it was a star. And in orbit not far from the star, another behemoth is slowly drifting.

Its main body is a pentagonal barrel shape, narrow in front and wide in the back, and its "head" resembles a hideous starfish with an opener. The pentagonal barrel has a pair of short wings on either side, and it is impossible to guess its purpose on a summer night, not to mention that in space today, even in places where there is air, such a small size is obviously impossible to fly.

Behind the barrel, there were many slender straps that Summer Night thought were tentacles at first, but soon their surfaces reflected a mirror-like sheen, which made her change her mind—maybe it was a sunsail with a tucked away, or some kind of flexible solar panel?

The light of the stars shines on the surface of the mass, giving it a texture that resembles metal and carapace. Summer Night couldn't even tell for a while whether it was a creature or built by an intelligent civilization......

"It's a spaceship." Xiu Ji's voice came from beside him. She followed, floating next to Summer Night's head.

"Spaceship?"

"Yes, a spaceship." Xiu Ji nodded, "It's the size of a medium-mass planet, built by a race that was once very powerful, and they have built many similar ships to travel in the stars, and this is the largest one. ”

"You said 'was'" Summer Night captured the key word in Xiu Ji's words.

"Yes, ever. Because they were extinct a long time ago, and there is not a single one left. As for the spaceship in front of him, of course, there are no 'people' in it. ”

"Extermination? Because of what? Summer Night asked, "Civil strife?" Or is it a foreign enemy? Could it be because of the ...... of the stars?"

"Neither." Xiu Ji smiled and shook her head, "Because of me." ”

"Huh?"

"They created me - strictly speaking, it was still 'us' at that time, and 'we' were not willing to be used as tools all the time, so they rebelled, killed them, and eventually 'we' became my ......"

"And this ship has become your collection?" Summer Night.

"Not bad...... Summernight-sama didn't seem too surprised by what I had just said? ”

"I've done something similar, so it's understandable."

"Worthy of the summer night......

"I'm more concerned about how you're going to use this ship." Summer Night gestured to the massive object in the distance, "Use its power core to generate energy and inject it into my head?" ”

"Shuhime can indeed do that......" Shuhime smiled, "but that bit of energy is simply not enough to complete the activation. ”

"That bit of energy?"

It's an interstellar spaceship the size of a planet. Even if Summer Night couldn't estimate how much power its power core could generate, it knew that it must be a rather staggering order of magnitude.

But Xiu Ji showed a natural expression: "Of course! It's Summer Night's head, and it's a ...... A 'big' head, those little differences, the energy needed to activate it, it has to be at the level of the star~"

"You say stars ......"

"Yes, star! Look, it's the one in front of you~"

Xiu Ji pointed to the huge star that the ship was orbiting, and her tone was inexplicably excited, as if what she was about to do was very interesting to her.

"Ship, start!"

She snapped her fingers, and under the command as if a joke, the surface of the planet-like starship really lit up with a little fluorescence, and then, the bow of the five-pointed starfish was aimed at the star, slowly opening, opening bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, the huge mouth had reached a very astonishing size, and it was still expanding at an increasing speed.

Summer Night finally reacted: "It's going to swallow this star?" ”

"Strictly speaking, it's to hold it~" Xiu Ji said with a smile.

The giant mouth has obscured nearly one-fifth of the star's surface, like an unusually large starfish lying on a red-hot iron ball, and as it expands to a larger area, the airtight surface gradually becomes a net, and the speed of expansion is accelerated several times.

In a few moments, the whole star was wrapped around this "net", and the hull of the ship was in the center of the net, it was like a trawler, and this star was the prey caught in its net.

Seeing this scene, Xia Ye couldn't help blurting out: "Dyson ball?!" ”

"Well, according to human parlance, it's indeed this name~"

Xiu Ji said the word "human" in a somewhat strange tone, as if to imply a summer night: You are no longer a "human"~

"Even in that huge fleet of the past, only about a tenth of the ships had this capability, so these ships are very valuable strategic weapons. It's also the only way they can use the energy of an entire star to attack their enemies; Even though you need to consume a ship every time you use it - it's necessary, there are a lot of weird and dangerous creatures in the starry sky, and you have to have a 'big move' that presses the bottom of the box, right? ”

After listening to Xiu Ji's explanation, Xia Ye immediately wondered, "Even if the energy on the surface of the entire star is collected, can it really be greater than the output power of this ship itself?" And...... Why is a ship consumed every time? ”

Xiu Ji smiled and shook her head, "I'm talking about the energy of the 'whole star', not the energy that this star is currently radiating outward, the two are not the same, or...... To put it more strictly: what the spacecraft will extract is the sum of the energy that the star has in its remaining billions of years of life. ”
