After passing through the second forest, they saw a huge lake in front of them. The lake was formed by a nearby waterfall that was hundreds of meters high.
The lake is extremely vast. There is a small island in the middle of the lake. On the island, sixteen towering holy trees form a circle. On the top of each tree are dazzling pupils of magic energy. The fluctuations are so strong that the doctor can stand still.
It's unstable.
The ground in the circle seemed to be a stone formation, covered with densely packed strange rune patterns. If it weren't for the sacred trees standing all around, Ding Meng almost thought he had returned to the Devouring World.
This is indeed a strange place. The pupil of light is the power of the demons, the holy tree belongs to the energy of divine light, but the formation is similar to the Devouring World, but I don’t know what the formation is. Such a mixture is hidden here, you say there is nothing wrong with it
That's the weird thing.
"This is my first time walking here!" The doctor stared silently into the distance. The sixteen sacred trees were magnificent and truly spectacular.
Ding Meng secretly thinks that this must be your first time, but it may not be the first time for Boss Yinfeng to come here. This place may involve the secret of the Land of Entropy and Silence. Is it the so-called key?
The telepathic field of view carefully scanned the circle, and the doctor also turned on the wrist device to scan the image. After a long time, Ding Meng finally made a decision: "We can't pass, let's go back the way we came!"
The doctor nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Although the doctor is not as experienced as Ding Meng, she also knows that she cannot go any further. The powerful energy fluctuations ahead already indicate the mysterious unknown. She is satisfied to be able to reach this place.
When the two returned to the airport, the sky had dimmed, but the cold drizzle did not stop. The doctor took Ding Meng back to the third floor of the terminal building, which is her workroom.
This room is very simple. Except for the large desk with the optical computer, there is nothing in the room. There is not even a chair.
"Do you always work standing up?" Ding Meng was really curious.
The doctor was importing the information collected from the wrist device into the light brain. Several light curtains rose up in the room. They were filled with strange pictures and information, as if they were strange creatures and materials.
"There's nothing wrong with standing, it actually helps people focus more!" the doctor replied nonchalantly.
"What are these?" Ding Meng came over and saw the doctor comparing the photo of the island in the middle of the lake with a picture of the same island. The system showed that the similarity between the two was 82%.
The doctor said: "This is an alien ruins. I visited it with my classmates many years ago."
"Do you have any classmates?" Ding Meng was even more curious.
The doctor said: "Of course I do. This classmate of mine specializes in studying civilizations outside the department. He was also a top student at Emperor Star University."
Ding Meng said: "Who is your classmate?"
The doctor's hand operating the light curtain suddenly stopped, and his expression became dazed again: "His name is Xinzhi, and he has been missing for many years."
Ding Meng said: "It seems that your classmate is very important to you."
The doctor nodded: "Well, we were brought out by a mentor. We all have a common goal, to explore the ruins of extrasolar civilizations located in the main galaxy."
Ding Meng looked at the picture on the light screen: "Did you find it?"
The doctor rarely showed a trace of sadness: "I found it. This is a brand new divine civilization site, but Xinzhi handed him a lot of basic information and asked me to leave alone in a lifeboat."
Ding Meng was even more curious: "Why?"
The doctor stared blankly at the table: "He must have known that some kind of disaster was coming, and left me the chance of survival. Later I learned that on their way back, the starship had an accident and crashed in space.
Both he and his mentor have disappeared."
Ding Meng said: "So you have been studying these?"
The doctor said: "Yes, I returned to the empire, but the people at the space center didn't believe me at all. They thought I was stimulated, so they kicked me out and almost beat me to death."
Ding Meng secretly thought that the doctor was from the Imperial Space Department and was probably an expert.
But this smells wrong. If others don’t believe you, they won’t kill you. The doctor must know something he shouldn’t know.
The doctor said: "Fortunately, the boss saved me and sent me here again. This No. 5 star is very similar to the original ruins, so I can continue to study it."
You are still too naive and too obsessed with academic research. Ding Meng secretly cursed, how could Boss Yinfeng be so kind to save you? He definitely has his own purpose.
Ding Meng said: "Who is your mentor?"
The doctor said: "You may not know it, but his name is Harsint Singibena Y. Martinez, and he is also a doctor..."
Ding Meng was so shocked that he thought of many things at this moment.
Dr. Harsint was severely maimed to death by the Chu family on the Kunpeng starship. His former student named Xiaozhi blocked a shot for him and was shot in the head. Xiaozhi was obviously a classmate of the doctor.
Xinzhi, it turns out that they are all students of Dr. Harsint, and the ruins Harsint found are exactly where the remnants of the little bad spirit are.
Many clues were connected at once. Xinzhi must know about the Shenguang Technology of the Miao Star Civilization. Such secrets are too important. He must not want to involve the doctor, so he sent the doctor into the lifeboat in advance and left alone.
Ding Meng suddenly said something shocking: "Are you studying the Miao Star civilization?"
The doctor suddenly turned around with a look of disbelief on his face: "You...how did you know?"
This was her biggest secret, and she had never even mentioned it to the boss of Yin Feng.
Ding Meng didn't answer, and slowly raised his index finger, summoning the spinning singularity of divine light: "Is this what you are looking for?"
The doctor's eyes widened. She is an authority in this field and obviously understands this type of energy fluctuation: "You...you...you..."
She was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Ding Meng had no expression on his face: "I am the Miao Xing Warrior!"
The doctor was stunned: "Are you the person cultivated by the divine civilization?"
Ding Meng sighed and retracted the singularity: "Dr. Harsint is indeed dead. He was beaten to death to protect Miao Xing's secret. This happened many years ago on their way back."
The doctor's eyes immediately turned red.
Ding Meng added: "Other warriors from Miao Xing have avenged the doctor on the spot."
"What about Xin Zhi?" the doctor immediately asked.
Ding Meng sighed: "Xinzhi also sacrificed his life to protect Dr. Harsint."
The doctor's whole body went limp, and he felt as if he had aged dozens of years.
Ding Meng also noticed that the relationship between the doctor and Xinzhi's classmates was quite deep.
Ding Meng said sternly: "Doctor, listen to me, this matter is very complicated. Please stop participating, if you can trust me."
The doctor was silent and looked very hesitant.
Ding Meng said: "Your research direction is correct. The power of the gods has been contaminated by magic energy. You can't stay in this place for much longer. If you stay here any longer, you will be in big trouble."
Although the doctor is simple, it does not mean that his IQ is not online: "Are you here for that key?"
Ding Meng immediately asked: "Where is the key?"
The doctor sighed: "The key is not with the boss."
Ding Meng was stunned again.
The doctor sighed even louder: "The boss told me that the key is in the hands of another person. That person is his most powerful enemy. It is impossible for that person to give the key to him."
Even the boss of Yin Feng described him as extremely powerful. It seems that this enemy is probably a super master, and it is impossible to steal him head-on.
Ding Meng thought deeply: "It seems that he didn't ask you to find the key when he put you here, because you can't find it. However, if there is a key, there must be a lock. I understand, he wants you to find the lock."
location."
The doctor also reacted: "The island in the middle of the lake is very similar to the Miao Xing ruins that the teacher found back then. It is very likely that the lock is located there."
Ding Meng said: "He tried to use other methods to open the lock. He thought that my arrival would make it possible."
In fact, Ding Meng was also secretly frightened. Judging from the source of Yin Feng's news, it was impossible for the boss not to know that he possessed divine light energy.
"Let's go back!" Ding Meng made an immediate judgment.
The doctor was surprised: "Where are you going back?"
Ding Meng said: "Go back to the space station. You go back to the empire and stay away from here."
He still has some love and affection for the doctor. After all, the bad guy was saved by Harsint, and the doctor is Harsint's student. He cannot let the doctor repeat the tragedy of Harsint and the others.
"Then when will we return?" The doctor obviously believed him.
Ding Meng said: "It can't be delayed, it's now!"
There were five backup transport ships on the apron. Shortly after the spacecraft took off, the communication link to the main console was automatically generated, and what was connected was the image of the stationmaster.
The stationmaster's expression was very serious: "Mr. Ding, doctor, sir, where are you now?"
Ding Meng said: "We are on the way back."
The webmaster said: "Very good, I just need you and the doctor to return."
Ding Meng and the doctor looked at each other: Did something happen on the space station?
It was three hours after the spacecraft emerged from the atmosphere and entered outer space until it returned to the space station. After receiving the notice, the two of them went directly to the command and dispatch center on the core bridge of the space station. This is the standard starship command hall.
At this moment, the main console is surrounded by the stationmaster, butler, instructor, butcher and a thin old man, who seems to be a core member. Boss Yinfeng is sitting on the sofa in the rest area, with No. 2 always standing beside him.
Behind them, a group of people didn't look very good. They seemed to have encountered some kind of difficulty here.
Others may not know what happened, but Ding Meng knew what was going on as soon as he came in.
Hundreds of light curtains throughout the venue, including the five central light curtains at the main console, were all dimmed, losing the data and images that were supposed to be running.
Now, they have all been replaced by the same pattern. This pattern is a large black handprint printed on a white background. It looks extremely weird and makes your hair stand on end after looking at it for a long time.
Obviously, the Black Handprint forces have also found this place, and have also invaded the intelligent management system of the space station. This is also Master Wu's consistent method. There is no place in the world that they cannot invade.
But as soon as he saw the doctor arriving, the stationmaster's frown relaxed, and a smile appeared on the housekeeper's face:
"Doctor, you came up at the right time. Your help is needed here."
