"Those out-of-control Riels...how were you dealt with in the end?" When things got to this point, Xiao Hui's voice became a little nervous, "You know, I'm from the cooking class and I don't have the authority to know about this matter."

Xiao Yao pointed outside the window with his thumb: "I haven't asked the captain, but I guess they were thrown out directly... I have to admit that Captain Salatil is still very reliable at critical moments. He made this

The decision was made without even a moment's hesitation. If it were an indecisive Riel, the plague-like curse might have killed all the creatures here."

"Curse...yes, the changes caused by the flesh and blood of the old gods cannot be explained by any theory, and can only be called a curse." Xiao Hui looked at the almost still starry sky outside the window, but she was very

Clearly - this starship is actually returning at an extremely fast speed carrying the pieces of meat belonging to the gods.

"Ha, things like the old days are really not something that ordinary people can get involved in..." Xiao Yao shook his head gently, "I'm going to say hello to the captain. There are some things I want to confirm."

The return journey is almost over, but the nightmare has never gone away. At this time, except for a dozen Riels who are still awake and maintaining the normal operation of the starship, the rest of the Riels are in the dormant cabin.

It remains asleep, maintaining a state similar to "hibernation".

According to calculations, the return journey takes about forty years. During this period, except for a few Riels, the rest of the Riels take turns to be on duty. When Xiao Yao and Xiao Hui woke up, they were already on duty for the last time.

personnel, it will only take about five years to end this long and desperate journey, and the starship will return to the planet Colo.

However, Xiao Yao keenly noticed that out of the original more than 500 dormant warehouses, less than 300 people were still dormant, and there were less than 20 Riel people still active in the starship at this time.

Xiao Yao discovered many unplanned hatch openings from the voyage log, and he didn't want to know what happened to the missing people.

Captain Salatil has always stayed awake. Riel's lifespan is hundreds of years. A mere few decades would not change a Riel's appearance. But when Xiao Yao saw her, she was lively, cheerful, and adventurous.

Every part of Riel's body

Every cell seems to be written with fatigue and fear.

Xiao Yao couldn't imagine how many tragedies the nameless fog had caused during his dormant period - he still didn't think it was a good thing to bring back the corpses of the nameless fog.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. The Riels are an overly stubborn race. They don’t know what failure means. What they set out to do will definitely be accomplished. These corpses of the old gods, the Riels, will do it at all costs.

What they want to get - they all believe that no matter how weird things are, they can be thoroughly studied by Riel's scientists.

So sometimes, being too proud is really not a good thing.

Intelligent creatures are always using known knowledge to explain and guess the unknown, but there are always some unknown existences in the world... that can never be recognized by known knowledge.

A person who is young and frivolous may still have a chance to turn around, but what about a civilized person?

I'm afraid no living thing can bear the price.

…

"Captain, long time no see... It should be said that we met once when I woke up just now, but we didn't have time to talk." Xiao Yao said to Salatir in a pretending relaxed tone.

"Hello... I remember you, you are from the scientific research team." Salatir replied with a somewhat stiff expression.

Xiao Yao sighed: "Captain, it seems that a lot of things happened while I was sleeping."

"……Yes."

"I just noticed that the hatch opened again a few hours ago, and then Riel, who was responsible for supervising the warehouse, disappeared... I won't ask what happened, but there is a shortage of people in the warehouse now, right?"

"No!" Salatir said almost reflexively, "We don't need anyone in the warehouse!"

This attitude... is unexpected and reasonable.

Xiao Yao reached out and patted Salatir on the shoulder: "I know what you are afraid of, but you can rest assured that there will always be one or two special individuals in this world - I will not be contaminated.

"

Because, I have already become almost equal to pollution itself.

Salatiel's expression, which was as stiff as a corpse, finally changed, and it became uncertain.

Looking at Xiao Yao, at this moment she had countless guesses about Xiao Yao's identity - the spokesperson of a certain behind-the-scenes organization, a believer of a certain cult, an envoy of an alien civilization... But she could also feel that these guesses,

None of them come close to the truth.

After a long time, she sighed and pressed a few buttons on her bracelet: "Go ahead, I have assigned you the authority to open the warehouse door... Anyway, the situation can't get any worse.

"

Xiao Yao did not go to the warehouse immediately. He stared at the captain in front of him who was exhausted mentally and physically, and asked softly in a voice that no one else could hear: "At this point today, what do you think... those of the old days?"

Is it really necessary to take the piece of meat back?"

"I..." Salatir's lips moved. She originally wanted to affirm it. After all, this is an order and the greatest hope for the progress of the entire Riel civilization. However...the horrific things that have happened these days have almost destroyed the country.

With her sanity, is it really wise to bring such supernatural and weird things back to Kolo?

It seems that even if he is as conceited as Riel, he will still be afraid of the smell of the past.

Xiao Yao chuckled lightly, turned and left.

…

The door opened slowly, making a harsh sound as if it was rusty. The hatch that could have opened automatically was now moving inch by inch as if it was suffering huge resistance. The power to open the door was suffering from something.

Resistance from unknown sources.

It was as if there was a being behind the door that was unwilling to let the door open.

Almost the moment Xiao Yao saw the warehouse clearly, he understood why Salatil was unwilling to send new Riel to take care of the warehouse.

In those glass vessels, the already dead pieces of meat were all squirming now, like earthworms in the soil, like dug-out animal hearts. Proliferated blood vessels spread in the transparent glass, and the glass was covered with cracks

, just like the glass is also part of the tissue meat. Some blood vessels and tissues even extend out of the glass vessel, growing like the roots of a plant on the solid metal floor.
