Inside the lander

"We will arrive at the scheduled location in three hours,"

The commentator's voice came from the communicator, "Then the lander and orbiter will separate and then fly to the transparent planet."

"How is the situation on the ground?"

After she finished speaking, He Ao asked softly.

"Morning has arrived in the area near the Republic of Ika, and the bloody day is quickly recovering,"

After a brief pause, the commentator quickly replied, "The place that remained dark during the 'solar eclipse' yesterday has now begun to show bloody light, and the number of missing people has begun to increase rapidly.

"According to our estimates, Blood Sun may be fully recovered soon after we land.

"Judging from the current strength and effects of the Blood Sun, after this recovery, the number of disappearances within the scope of the Blood Sun may increase explosively, faster than before it became 'dark'."

"So now we have to race against time?"

Li Cheng on the side said.

After a brief pause, the commentator replied, "Yes."

At the same time, her tone paused for a moment, as if she was disturbed by something.

No one in the lander spoke. It took time for the electromagnetic waves to travel from the ground to the relay satellite in synchronous orbit and then to the lander, which was already tens of thousands of kilometers away from the ground.

Therefore, both parties will wait for the other party to finish speaking before speaking.

Soon, a picture slowly loaded on the screen in front of everyone.

This picture is a starry sky photo, but the "starry sky" light at the core of the picture is slightly "reddish".

"Dean, Mr. Hao Yi, Mr. Jie An, Miss Ge Ya, a piece of bad news,"

The commentator's slightly urgent voice sounded,

"According to calculations from the aviation bureau, the 'transparent planet' from which the Blood Sun originated seems to be releasing power on a large scale, showing strong interference in the surrounding space, so much so that the 'starlight' was not within the scope of the change.

All have reddish characteristics.

"According to the information from Ruo Dan, just now, the speed of Blood Sun's recovery has accelerated further.

"And we found strong magnetic field interference near the transparent planet.

"According to calculations, by the time we land at the latest, the Blood Sun will be fully revived, and the magnetic field around the transparent planet will be at its strongest.

"The advice from the aviation bureau is,"

The commentator's tone paused, "Change the orbit immediately and return to the ground. The landing under strong magnetic field interference is likely to fail. In space, we have no escape route."

Even if it is Class B, it will suffocate due to lack of oxygen when exposed to space.

The entire space capsule fell into a certain silence.

"Is there any news from He Ao?"

Li Cheng spoke slowly and asked.

"What department..."

The commentator paused and responded,

"According to the news just sent from Ruo Dan, He Bu has not been contacted since midnight last night.

"He seems to have gone to explore a certain key area. The last order he gave was for Ruodan to continue to maintain the evacuation order.

"But Ruo Dan sent a 'strange story', saying that before He Bu disappeared, he told him that if he couldn't be contacted, he would send this strange story."

The picture on the screen gradually faded and then turned into a text.

"Call yourself?"

Jie An stared at the text and thought thoughtfully, "Is this guy suggesting that we can achieve a certain goal by 'calling yourself' at a critical moment?"

"ceremony,"

He Ao controlled the clone of 'Hao Yi' sitting in the corner and said, "This should be a ritual that can communicate some special extraordinary power."

Everyone fell silent again.

"Hao Yi, what do you think?"

Li Cheng turned his head and looked at 'Hao Yi', "What's going on with the sudden burst of 'power' from this transparent planet?"

The remaining two people also turned their attention.

Among the people present at this moment, 'Hao Yi' is the one with the richest knowledge of mysticism.

"I'm afraid that the transparent planet is closer to our world."

He Ao thought and said slowly.

"Isn't that transparent planet right there?"

Jie An was a little confused.

"shadow,"

Li Cheng, however, had some reaction. He had communicated with 'Hao Yi' the most, and had more or less experienced some high-level extraordinary events.

"That transparent planet is not a real 'real thing', but a 'reflection' of some kind of behemoth in a distant world in the cosmic space near us.

"It projects power through this 'reflection', and then affects the real world, causing disappearances, and these missing people become some kind of 'ritual sacrifices', which further makes the power it can project stronger and stronger.

, until it completely comes to the real world,"

He paused, looked at 'Hao Yi' and continued, "In this way, he is indeed getting 'closer' to the real world."

"Um."

He Ao nodded slightly.

Just as he had guessed before, during the period when the "bloody sun disappeared" and its power converged, the transparent planet did nothing.

The advent ceremony is still going on normally, and those 'missing' people still exist somewhere, becoming ritual 'materials' and promoting the arrival of the real behemoth behind the transparent planet.

It's just that because there are fewer 'missing people', the speed of the ceremony has slowed down a bit.

"Then those missing people have been completely sacrificed?"

At this time, Goya, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

The moment this question was asked, both Li Cheng and Jie An were a little silent.

"Some people may have lost their lives, but there must still be a large number of people alive."

At this time, He Ao suddenly spoke.

When he turned on super memory, he could still feel Lin Chi Chi's presence, and Lin Chi Chi's 'emotion' seemed to be pretty good.

The key to the coming ceremony of the behemoth behind the transparent planet most likely does not lie in 'flesh and blood life', but somewhere else. Therefore, the missing persons who were 'abducted' should still be of use value, and it is very likely that their lives will not be in danger in the short term.

When they heard what 'Hao Yi' said, everyone was stunned.

If other people had said this, they might have dismissed it as a comforting guess, but if it was 'Hao Yi' who had spoken, then it is very likely that there are indeed many 'missing people' still alive.

After all, this mysterious Class B, who is suspected to be from the 'ruins', possesses a lot of occult knowledge and occult techniques that they don't know about.

Unknowingly, everyone became more relaxed. As long as there was still hope, it wasn't the worst.

Ge Ya turned her head sideways, glanced at 'Hao Yi', blinked, and then looked away.

"So, are we going to return?"

At this time, Li Cheng turned to look at everyone and asked softly.

"Don't you, an old boy, already have the answer in your heart and you still ask?"

Jie An, who was sitting next to him, smacked his lips and said, "Is it possible for us to return? We have gone back, and this angel has descended into the real world, so aren't we dead?"

He held the chair and glanced at the starry sky outside the port window, "Instead of thinking about whether to return or not, you might as well hope that your precious He Ao can find key clues for us and help us solve the problems we may encounter when we land. That kid must be here now

This is a critical moment in the investigation.”

Hearing Jie An's words, Li Cheng opened his mouth and laughed dumbly. Then he turned to look at 'Hao Yi' and Ge Ya.

"Continue to log in."

He Ao said calmly.

"···Um."

Ge Ya also spoke slowly.

After confirming that the four people in the group had unified their opinions, Li Chengcai looked in the direction of the communicator and said, "Contact the space agency and we will maintain the original plan."

Li Cheng himself must have chosen to continue logging in, but this time the lander came from China, so as the host, he still needed to confirm the opinions of several other 'teammates'.

"yes!"

The commentator responded immediately, and then the communication link was cut off.
