The hoverboat kept as close to the building as possible until the danger sirens sounded, and then stopped. At this time, it is only more than half a meter away from the building, and normal people can easily jump over it.

Sima Cuo took a few steps back, and after running, he jumped up suddenly, and Qian Lai, who was standing at the hatch, also reached out in time to grab Sima Cuo and help stabilize the other party's figure.

Entering the transport ship protected by the space-time shield, Sima Cuo felt that something had changed, his mind seemed to have been wiped by some invisible force, and there was no more such weird, ethereal, as if he was bound by something invisible

"Go in, and when the mission is completed, we'll take you back to the Empire." Qian Lai pushed Sima Mistake into the cabin, and then closed the hatch.

The cabin had its own lighting system, and five or six fighters sat inside.

They were just as terrifying in size, wearing armor as heavy as Qian Lai, each as large as a giant.

The first moment he saw them, he could feel a strong sense of oppression coming towards him, which made Sima Cuo faintly afraid.

"Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you." Qian Lai took off his helmet, revealing his face full of scars, without the helmet's background, his head looked small, while his body looked much larger, and the proportions of his head and body looked a little out of balance.

Sima Coo nodded, he could only hope that what the other party said was true, otherwise even if these people wanted to do something to him, it would be difficult for him to fight back, putting aside the weapons and armor of these guys, just the size of the other party could easily defeat a small arm and leg like him.

Once he started to do it, he felt like an ant being crushed to death by these people.

"Sit down." Qian Lai pointed to the side position, Sima sat down, acting very restrained, he knew very well that his life was in the hands of these people, as long as the other party wanted to, he could be pinched to death at any time.

Qian could see the survivor's nervousness, but he was not a psychotherapist, and he couldn't care about it because of his responsibilities, and he desperately wanted to know everything from the other party's mouth.

"The Human Alliance has collapsed, and you will automatically become a citizen of the Empire. I have deep sympathy for what happened to you, but I need some help from you. ”

"What kind of help?" Sima asked in the wrong place.

"We need to know what's going on on planet ST03? Only by knowing the ins and outs of the matter can we put an end to the catastrophe in the Starr system. ”

"I don't know what's going on, sir. Before the catastrophe, I was just a small employee of a company. "Sima is very tactful, if the other party thinks that he can live, it must be some high-level, then it must be wrong, in the era of the Human Alliance, he is a little transparent.

"A person who can hold on for so long is not an ordinary person, don't be presumptuous, Mr. Sima Cuo, please seriously recall that at the beginning of the catastrophe, the problem of time loop is not a small disaster, there will definitely be some signs."

Some memories will disappear after a few days, but some memorable things will stay forever.

However, this catastrophe is definitely the most important memory for Sima Cuo, especially the memory of the first time he discovered the time loop, he remembers it most clearly.

In addition, over the years, because time cannot move forward, they have not been able to create anything new, people generally use the past things to pass the time, always turn over and discuss the past, look at those news reports and games, and naturally remember deeply.

Sima Cao closed his eyes and carefully recalled the days that he remembered deeply. While reminiscing, he told what he saw from the perspective of an ordinary person.

"By that time, the Eternal Night Crisis had severed the Starr system, and we had lost contact with the other galaxies, isolated in the darkness, unable to travel faster than the speed of light. There was some chaos in the government, but overall it wasn't a big problem, and we were able to go on. At that time, however, religion also arose, and people longed for the enlightenment of the gods and escape from the eternal darkness. ”

"Later, many religious organizations clashed with the government, and fighting broke out from time to time, which was very fierce. In the beginning, the government had the upper hand, and then the religious organizations had the upper hand. A few days before the time loop erupted, I also saw cultists come to our community to give speeches, agitating us against the government in power, claiming that the government had a device that could break the subspace storm and resume faster-than-light travel, and that humanity would be able to rebuild the interstellar civilization and they wouldn't need to be trapped here. ”

The cultist also claimed that they were going to attack the government and force them to hand over the device, and many people followed them. My girlfriend followed suit, saying that humanity cannot be plunged into darkness and that this mistake must be corrected. If the government has this device, then they should hand it over instead of ignoring the destruction of human civilization in order to maintain their rule. ”

Since then, several wars have broken out, and the journalism field has begun to favor religious organizations, accusing the government of irresponsibility and disregard for the life and death of human civilization. It is said that the cultists gained the upper hand and stormed the government's last bastion, but in the end it is unknown what happened inside, and then the time loop begins. Every twenty-four hours that passed, the world reset, back to the wee hours of the morning. Time no longer moves forward, the only thing we can move forward is memory. ”

"People indulge themselves in an infinite loop, revelry, and eventually degenerate and madness, until they are twisted into monsters."

“.。”

Qian Lai has been listening to Sima Cuo's confession, and at the same time paying attention to the micro-expressions on the other party's face, the changes in the heart and various physiological systems, looking for traces of lies.

No matter how disguised it is, deception is deception. Lies are not facts, as long as you are careful, you will find traces of fabrication, and no matter how clever a liar is, there will be flaws.

Sima Cuo couldn't find a single abnormality on his body, and he didn't have a reason to deceive himself in this kind of thing, but Qian Lai still decided to be careful, and after listening to the other party's description, he said while entering the information into the system, "Thank you very much for your cooperation, Mr. Sima Cuo." ”

"It's nothing, and I hope you can fix this matter and stop this nightmare." Sima Coo shook his head, indicating that such a trivial matter was nothing to worry about.

"Stop, you'll probably die, at least not for 10,000 years."

Hearing this, Sima Cuo smiled wryly, "What's the point of living like this, I try to disguise myself as a normal person every day and live alone in this world, just because I don't want to become those monsters." ”

Qian Lai patted him on the shoulder, "We will take care of this matter, don't worry, this nightmare will end soon." ”

Sima was placed in his seat, and Qian Lai discussed with his companion how to deal with the matter.

"The time loop is strange, but it seems to have something to do with the local government and the cultists." Money to open the detection graphics of the planet ST03, which shows their range and altitude, etc.

"As long as we find the place where the local government and those cultists fought in the first place, maybe everything will be clear." Cockburn, who is the deputy, said.

From Sima Cuo's description, Qian Lai and others judged that it was the conflict between the local government and the cult organization that caused the disaster.

It is not yet known which side of the disaster originated, whether the government had some high-tech means, or whether the cult organization carried out some kind of sacrificial ritual, but in any case, the source of the problem has been found.

While searching for the location of the final battle between the two factions, Qian Lai used meditation to enter the subspace, due to the time loop, normal means of communication could not get in touch with the fleet, only the subspace could do this.

Qian Lai is a psychic who has studied spiritual information, although he is not officially bound to the god emperor, but he also has the breath of the god emperor on his body, and he can be believed by the spiritual messengers wandering in the subspace.

He passed on the information he had gotten from Sima Cuo's mouth, so that even if they failed in their mission and died here, the expeditionary force would not gain nothing.

After doing all this, he interrupted his meditation and returned to the real world.

In this mission, the three gunboats launched successfully entered the ST03 planet, if it were ordinary people, I was afraid that it would be good to enter one, but they are storm soldiers, creations that condense the wisdom of the God Emperor, and never disappointing is their criterion.

In order to save energy and save it for use at critical moments, they directly turned off the engine and life support system along the way, and resisted for a few days, passing through the distance of half a galaxy, until they approached the ST03 planet, they restarted the engine, maneuvered, and successfully entered the ST03 planet.

Qian Lai contacted two other gunboats to search for the target location. With the three gunboats fully turned on the scanning system, it only takes two days to scan the entire planet's surface.

Five hours later, they had a catch, one of the gunboats had detected anomalous time-stream fluctuations, as well as some corpses and twisted monsters, as well as the flag of the Human Alliance, which was clearly the final battleground.

Qian Lai and the others turned around and rushed over, and they also experienced a time loop on the way.

The time and space outside the time shield instantly changed to the same as it was twenty-four hours ago, and the traces and various things left by the monster disappeared without a trace.

Sima mistakenly thought that he would be pulled back into his home, but when time restarted, he was still in place, and he did not enter the time loop like before, which made a smile appear on his face, and he also had a little confidence in these guys who claimed to be Imperial soldiers, maybe they could really solve this matter.

Qian Lai saw Sima Cuo's appearance, and also said with a smile, "The empire's time technology is very mature, and you have gotten rid of the time loop. Stay well, and when it's over, we'll take you away and go back to normal human society. ”

When he arrived at the target location, Qian Lai found that the crystal prism given by Zhang Han emitted a warm light, and it was obvious that this was not only a battlefield left by government personnel and cultists, but also a place where the lighthouse was located. Those cultists came for the lighthouse, and the two sides fought for the ownership of the lighthouse, causing the whole world to fall into a time loop.

During the time loop, monsters will briefly turn back into humans, but in a short period of time, they will become monsters again.

They can't be saved, because it's not the body that hurts, it's the soul. The soul decays, and the body becomes a monster.

The target location is a bomb shelter built inside a mountain, and the entrance is hovered with a large number of monsters, as well as scattered weapons and dead corpses before the cycle.

After confirming that he had found the wrong target, the Empire immediately launched an attack, using gunboat artillery and man-portable missiles to saturate the ground.

These monsters can't be killed until the time loop is lifted, and if the war starts, it will attract more, but there is enough time to buy.

After clearing the surface of the enemy, Qian Lai took a squad of legionnaires, carrying portable time devices, into the bomb shelter, while the others stayed on the ground to prevent the monsters from interfering with the team's work.

Sima Coo stayed in the gunboat, watching as the drivers and legionnaires built a rudimentary line of defense against the tide of monsters.

And in the team that entered the building, Qian Lai walked at the front, holding a blaster gun in one hand and a mechanical staff that amplified spiritual energy in the other, and from time to time he played the role of the Thunderbolt King, releasing dense electric snakes to clean up those monsters.

There are a lot of monsters, but none of them can stop Qian Lai and others, and the team sweeps the enemies all the way and goes deep into the interior of the building.

Along the way, they saw a lot of broken mechs, and scattered heavy weapons, as well as traces left by the firefight, and there were rubble and explosion craters everywhere.

There were also soldiers with the insignia of the Human Alliance and fanatics painted with strange symbols, and it was clear from these corpses that the defenders resisted until the last moment, but the line was still breached by the cultists.

The time loop sped a little faster with each distance they advanced, a twenty-four hour loop outside the bomb shelter, and faster and faster as they went deeper into the building.

When I went to the deepest part, the time loop had already reached every three minutes, and if I went deeper, the time would be shorter, if it weren't for the time shield protection, Qian Lai and the others would be trapped here forever.

The deepest part of the bomb shelter is an underground space, large, the size of several football fields, supported by huge pillars.

When Qian Lai and the others walked in, they saw that this underground space had turned into a battlefield of charred black, corpses and broken equipment everywhere.

At the other end of this huge underground space is a gate embedded in the mountain, and more than a dozen twisted monsters are trapped near this gate, unable to move.

Qian Lai and the others found that the closer they got to the gate, the faster the cycle became, even reaching a few seconds.

Unlike the monsters outside, these monsters entrenched here still have reason. When they saw Qian Lai and the others coming in, their eyes showed astonishment, but then they were madly excited.

They have been trapped here for a long time, confined to the time loop and unable to move, Qian Lai and the others are the first living people to enter here, and they are happy to see another unlucky person trapped here until they are forced to become a monster like them.

In the past, some people realized that the key to the time loop was here, but no one dared to come in, because the time loop here was too fast, and ordinary people couldn't stand it at all, and the machines that were sent in were often scrapped before they went far. Realizing that they couldn't get in, those people didn't pay attention to this place anymore, so naturally no one came here.

The monsters quickly realized that something was wrong, because Qian Lai and the others were shrouded in a transparent shield, all the way deeper, unaffected by the time loop, which made them feel uneasy in their hearts and let out a constant roar.

But they couldn't move at all, the time loop was too fast. After a few steps, the time loop begins again, and everything they do is useless.

With the help of the protection of the time device, Qian Lai and the others ignored those monsters and approached the huge metal gate that merged with the mountain.

The gate bears the insignia of the Human Alliance, and it's clear that that's what they're looking for. Next to the gate were several humming mechanical devices, running some kind of program, and the flickering projection screen showed that the program was stuck at twenty-nine or thirty percent.

The progress on the screen is constantly changing, twenty-nine, thirty, twenty-nine, thirty, and the time loop is constantly looping, so that the programs of those machines cannot be loaded.

Next to the machine were several corpses dressed in the clothes of the League generals, apparently human loyalists who had fought to the death. Qian Lai mourned for them for a few seconds, and then, under the hateful gaze of those monsters, took out the prismatic pillar that emitted a glimmer of light.

The gate, which was embedded in the mountain, reacted, and it became transparent, rippling like a wave of water, and a mechanical sound came from inside.

[Identity test passed, as the designated successor of the Human Alliance, your loyalty to humans has passed the test and you have obtained the qualification to enter the lighthouse]

The monsters roared, the beacon they had been hell-bent on, and these strangers from nowhere had been granted permission. What little sanity they had been swallowed up by rage, and if it weren't for the time they had imprisoned, they would have joined forces and tore those humans apart.

The scene when Qian Lai walked into the lighthouse gave them a strong stimulus, just like Bai Yueguang, who had worked hard and tried his best to love him by any means, took the initiative to give a hug to the strong sports student who had just met for a day, and asked him to go back to his home.

Once you get home, what will happen next is something you can't even think about.

As soon as I thought of my white moonlight, I was about to turn into the shape of that damn, alien sports student. They roared in despair.

No!! Why should fate be so cruel and treat them like this.

After a few moments, a rumbling sound sounded, the whole earth trembled, something suddenly shattered, and the time loop that plagued the Starr system came to an end, and a brilliant beam of light shot from the ground into the sky, sinking into the depths of the vast subspace, lighting up the dark subspace.

Five thousand words, five thousand more in the evening, thank you for your support, remember to vote.
