"Have you ever encountered such a 'weird' incident before?" Lu Bai asked.
Dengfa was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I have indeed encountered it before. The universe is so vast and there are always some unknown things."
"People have no way to explain it with science and technology for the time being. They can only sum up experience and rules, and then deal with these things by luck."
"There are even many people who like to explore this aspect of things and have organized it into a school called starry sky metaphysics."
Time passed little by little, and Lu Bai and others also exchanged some strange things about the starry sky.
Suddenly, the originally stable and bright light flickered slightly, and everyone felt a stone weighing on their hearts.
Under the stone, Yu Hui acted quickly and immediately turned off the light, then lay down on the bed and closed the barn door.
That's right, the so-called beds are actually shuttle-shaped sleeping compartments.
After entering, you can also adjust the temperature, humidity, air constant state, etc. in the warehouse.
As the lights were turned off, everything suddenly became quiet again.
It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of some machines operating in the space station.
A profound terror swept through people's hearts at this time.
In this boundless starry sky, a lonely space station floats on the edge of the star system, and the only escape ship that can leave is still in a scrapped state.
And knowing that there was something strange about this space station, a force that pierced people's hearts quickly emerged.
No one can sleep under this kind of oppression.
Not long after, they heard footsteps in the passage outside the door.
The sound of footsteps can't be told from far away, and it even gives people the feeling that they are lingering at the door of your room.
And judging by the sound of footsteps, it is impossible to clearly judge what kind of existence the other party is.
Lu Bai thought for a while, no longer paying attention to the footsteps, suppressed his inner curiosity, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Others were not as bold as Lu Bai, and could still sleep in this situation.
In room eight, five slaves are inside.
They didn't dare to sleep and listened carefully to the lingering footsteps, and then heard the footsteps disappear.
Everything seemed to have returned to silence, and the hearing returned to normal at this moment, and the sound of the space station machines operating once again reached my ears.
One of the slaves was lying in his dormant cabin, listening carefully to everything going on around him.
He touched the three-piece slave suit on his body and had some ideas in his mind.
He was one of the slaves sent to Lu Bai, and his desire for freedom never disappeared from his heart.
He saw a lot of tools in a corner of the space station today.
There were some tools he knew, and there was a high probability that they could help him unlock the controller on his body.
As long as he unlocks the controller, he can open the space station hatch and fly directly across the stars to the exit door.
It would only take less than an hour for him to be free.
Of course, there are great risks in doing this, after all, there are all kinds of weirdness in this scene.
But this is just an obstacle to his pursuit of freedom, and he will always have to overcome it.
He waited for a long time in the dark room, and there seemed to be no movement at all outside.
The slave suddenly felt something was wrong.
He also had four roommates, and he found that there seemed to be no movement among these four roommates.
This was not quite right. He was sure that he was not the only one with small thoughts.
Repairs to the spacecraft will take at least a few more days.
His plan was to slowly test these roommates over the next few days to ensure that there was no such servile person among them.
When the time comes, if everyone is able, then we can pursue freedom together.
However, there seems to be some problems now.
Feeling terrified in his heart, he couldn't help but turn around and look at a dormant warehouse next to him.
Because of his racial talent, darkness cannot prevent him from seeing.
In the darkness, the roommate's dormitory cabin not far away seemed empty.
He looked to the other side again, and the same thing happened, there was no one there.
A kind of panic disturbed his heart, and he quickly lay down and closed his eyes, knowing clearly that something strange was probably coming to the door.
He still has to gain freedom, get rid of his status as a slave, and leave here to find his wife and children who were also sold as slaves. He must not die here.
With this belief, the sense of crisis in the slaves' hearts became increasingly serious.
"If you continue to lie here, something will definitely go wrong. You can't sit still and wait for death!" With this thought, he suddenly opened his dormant chamber.
Then he jumped out of it, and his dark vision allowed him to clearly observe the entirety of the room.
"Everyone else is in the dormant cabin..." The scene he observed made him feel cold.
I was lying in it before and found that there was no one in the dormant cabin. It was like a dream.
Before he could think further, there was a sudden knocking sound.
Instinctively, he raised his head and looked at the observation window, only to see a black shadow sticking there.
------------------
The next day, after eight hours of 'dark night', the planets moved away from the stars.
Everyone walked out of the room.
Then, not surprisingly, there were fewer people.
There were originally fifty people, but now there are only forty-three left.
Seven people were missing last night.
Five of them came from one room - Room 10.
There are two left, one is Room 9 and the other is Room 8.
According to the remaining people in rooms eight and nine.
Last night, the missing people among them suddenly came out of the dormant cabin in the middle of the night, then opened the door and walked out without saying a word.
They were all frightened at the time, and no one dared to stop it.
This is the final result.
Afterwards, except for those who were going to repair the spacecraft, everyone else came to room ten.
All five people here are missing.
Something must have happened in this room last night.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the room, only five rest cabins can be seen opened.
There was even someone's personal belongings left inside.
Lu Bai came to the observation window and looked at the starry sky outside the window carefully.
The starlight of stars penetrates the dark universe and illuminates everything.
"There is something up here." Lu Bai's voice made many people focus on it.
A slug-like race with several protruding eyes approached the observation window and said, "Indeed, there was something lying on the outside of the observation window, leaving traces."
This situation immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"So, the danger has always been outside the space station?"
"That makes sense." Mao Xian nodded: "The regulations prohibit us from leaving the space station without protection."
"Maybe it's because that thing is actually wandering outside."
"And his ability is suppressed by natural light. With natural light, it cannot attack us through the space station."
"Once the natural light disappears, he can affect us from outside the space station..."
This explanation is reasonable, but there is no way to accurately explain the footsteps in the corridor and the occasional knock on the door last night.
"Last night, it was very likely that someone in this room discovered something outside the window and was affected."
"Maybe it's a mind control ability." Another person speculated.
"Is it possible that this is that guy who is cleaning out the people in the space station in order, like some kind of ritual?" Suddenly, a short man said.
At this time, he was pulling a bone charm hanging around his neck, doing something similar to praying, and retreating from the room.
"I asked, it will take at least seven days to repair the spacecraft."
"And for these seven days, one person disappeared from the room every day."
"Then the final number of people will be exactly the same as the capacity limit on the spacecraft."
"This must be..."
"That's enough!" Mao Yao interrupted Chaozi's 'guessing' at this time: "This is just a solitary evidence, it can't explain anything."
"I'm more inclined to think that the people in this room did something they shouldn't have done last night."
"Everyone should take advantage of the daytime to search this space station more and see if there is anything gained."
Mao Xuan knew in his heart that if he speculated in this metaphysical direction, the entire team would probably fall apart.
After all, everyone has their own 'belief', especially in this universe with so many ethnic cultures.
The culture of this race likes the number nine, but another race feels that this number will cause problems.
This cultural difference is the most likely source of disputes.
Not to mention that people in the interstellar age are not superstitious, the development of science and technology does not mean that people have become developed.
Maoxian understands this very well.
The word ignorance is not the antonym of technology.
No matter how advanced technology is, there are still people who are ignorant, and it is even more likely that people are ignorant because of technology.
Mao Xian can be regarded as decisive, but unfortunately, as long as someone mentions this kind of thing, it has already taken root in people's hearts.
In the following time, everyone checked every corner of the space station.
However, many clues were indeed found.
For example, in one corner, there is a sentence engraved in an unknown language.
The translator mounted on the Dengfa combat armor was so powerful that it translated this sentence.
It's just that at this time, Maoxian hopes that this sentence will not be translated.
【Don't believe those people, they are fake.】
Such a sentence made the cracks in this improvised team become even wider.
Especially at this time, there are still several slaves who have been sent to stand up.
They said to Dengfa: "Please remove the slave control methods from us."
"In this environment, everyone needs to work together even more."
The man looked at Dengfa, and then said: "Instead of becoming someone's slave."
"Do you know what you are doing?" Denfa was furious, and every hair on the tentacles on his head was squirming.
The slave also had tentacles spreading from his body.
