Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 233 Journey to Hell (Part 2)

The voice coming out of the screen is Lucy's. Obviously, the girl directly acted as an interpreter, so that everyone can have the most intuitive understanding.

On the screen, the captain of the Erza continued: "When I received this mission, I knew it was a one-way ticket. The empire will not allow those of us who know the situation to return. Of course, our trip It's very well paid. Those boys are cheering for the pay, but they don't know that a large part of it is actually their pension."

This is definitely a one-way ticket, and the entire crew of the Erza has received the most generous remuneration ever. It's just that the captain is the only one who knows the secret, and the others are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. They are not allowed to disclose their compensation to colleagues, lest they arouse suspicion. Since all the work was carried out, on the day of departure, the crew thought that they were the only ones who got this generous reward, but they didn't know that they were heading towards the gate of hell from the moment they set foot on the Erza.

Due to the role of the confidentiality agreement, the crew only knew that this transport was a special batch of passengers. According to the captain, in the history of the empire, there are many precedents of secretly sending troops to the battlefield in the name of ordinary people. Although the crew has doubts, no one will find out the truth unless they don't want the money they have already got, and even have to violate the laws of the empire for this.

"These poor people, and I'm not one of them. However, the empire has promised that my children and family will be taken care of, which is enough. Originally, if everything goes well, we will be in the 15th Idahua star Arrive at the destination, which is the edge of the universe, the Leedon star field. The passengers on the third floor will be exiled here forever, and will not be retrieved until the big figures in the empire think it can be restarted?" In the picture, the man Showing a helpless smile: "As for us, we must die there. When the spaceship lands, just press a button, and the defenders will end us according to the previously set procedures."

"Yes, everything should have been like this, if those accidents hadn't happened."

A week after the Erza's departure, the crew finally discovered the abnormality on the third floor. Those who worked on the third floor gradually disappeared, and the captain ignored it. This attitude puzzled the crew, and the captain completely blocked the third floor and cut off all connecting channels. What frightened the crew was that when the passages leading to the third floor were closed one by one, no one ran out, as if all the people inside had disappeared.

You must know that there were hundreds of crew members serving on the Erza at that time, and at least a hundred crew members on the third floor were responsible for the handover of materials and daily maintenance. But even when the last door was closed, no one protested. No one knew what was on the third floor, and under the torment of this fear, they finally broke into the main control room and asked the captain to give them an answer.

"I was going to find excuses to keep procrastinating, but they came out. I don't know what went wrong, and maybe the devices that the big shots thought were perfectly safe weren't. Anyway, they came out. Small numbers, but destroyed Two passages poured into the second-floor area. I don't know what those things are,

I only saw the words 'Sentry' on a handover document, so that probably was the name of these things. "

"There was a fierce conflict between our guards and sentries on the second floor. Although there were only five sentries, our guards were no match for them. It wasn't until a magic soldier from the empire took action that the sentries were destroyed. We repaired them, And strengthen the armor plate of the passage to ensure that those things will not appear from the same place. The irony is that the demon reformers who were supposed to monitor us suffered heavy losses because of this sudden incident.”

But the situation did not improve because of the appearance of the sentinel. The crew knew the purpose of the trip, and no one was willing to bury the sentinel on the third floor. They asked the captain to change the voyage. The captain reminded them that when signing the non-disclosure agreement, the empire had already mastered their family situation. Once they did not proceed according to the plan, their family members who stayed on Idahua might be implicated. As a result, the crew almost fell into despair.

"But something even more desperate happened..." In the picture, the captain held his face and said: "Due to the appearance of the sentry, the power room was affected during the battle, causing one of the warp accelerators to malfunction. Wait until The engineer of the spaceship found out, and we found that the warp space was out of control. So in the next half a month, the Erza kept shuttling between the warp space and the universe, and we no longer knew the destination Where it will point, everything is unknown."

"But if we know that we will end up here, I think we should detonate ourselves in outer space, so that we won't have so much pain now, right? Unfortunately, Erza didn't reach the Lydron star field afterwards, We ended up on a planet inhabited by demons."

In the screen, the captain disappeared, and then a face of the sword demon flashed across the screen. As the camera zooms out, you can see a large group of sword demons pouring into the hull, fighting fiercely with the guards on board and the only remaining demon soldiers. The screen is constantly changing, and it can be seen that the battle has almost spread to the entire Erza.

The captain reappeared in the screen: "As you can see, the natives of these planets rushed in frantically. Our resistance force is not enough to repel them. We can only keep shrinking the line of defense, but even so, they will be very Come rush in. It's all over, yes. But we have one last trump card. Yes, to kill our defenders. Those killing machines without emotion, they're implanted with the order to kill everything in the ship Life. Obviously, the natives of those planets are also in the category of life."

The screen flickers suddenly, and a fire can be seen behind the captain. The captain hurriedly glanced back, and then pressed something violently. Then a cold light flashed in his chest, and he was pierced by a rough iron spear! He couldn't believe it, and looked down. Then someone threw it aside, it was a sword demon. He tilted his head to look at the camera, stretched out his hand and shook it, then yelled and raised his spear and smashed it.

The screen ends here.

When Allen came back to his senses, he found that the virtual scene created by the Yunchui system had disappeared, and it seemed that the connection between them and the database had been disconnected. The video record of the previous captain still shocked them greatly, and even Lucy remained silent for a long time. Now they know why this immigrant ship is on Pluto, and they know what is on the third layer of the hull.

It's just that what is the sentinel that Ida Huaxing wants to smuggle away? If they were artificial weapons developed by the Idahua themselves, why should they be disposed of quietly? Also, obviously there is no information about the devil's praise in this video, it seems that there is no connection between the Erza and this source device. Probably the information of this source device can only be excavated from the inside of the sword demon.

This is almost an impossible task.

"God, Miss Lucy. Those big guys were actually made by you, so can you control them?" Willick asked.

Lucy shook her head and said, "I've never seen these guys, let alone heard of the existence of sentinels. Maybe you won't believe it, but I have almost one-third of the data in the Royal Library."

She nodded her head, and said: "As members of the royal family, we have been required to be familiar with the history of Idahua since we were sensible. Only by knowing the history can we clarify the responsibilities of each royal family member. But as far as I know There has never been a record like a sentinel in the history of the world. Most likely, this part of the history has been artificially deleted..."

"It seems that there are dark and dark histories everywhere." Allen sighed.

Lucy remained silent for a long time before she said: "There is no shortage of wars in the history of Idahua Star. In the last millennium, it was a rare peaceful and prosperous age, but the open and secret fights among the royal families have never stopped for a moment, but they have changed other methods. It’s also relatively restrained. Those sentries are likely to be the product of the power struggle two thousand years ago. I’m sure that the hands of these weapons must be stained with blood, so they need to be secreted/disposed of. No one in power would want to be in the His political career has been stained with blood and blood, and once he gains power, it is only natural to destroy relevant files and all evidence immediately."

"In any case, we finally know that we can't go to the third floor." Allen mentioned Qianjun and said, "Let's go, we have to go to the power room. Cut off the energy so we can leave here."

Lucy nodded: "That's the only way for us to leave, otherwise as long as the sword demon closes the passage, we will have to be trapped here to death."

"Let's go, I miss the dormitory at the base a little bit now." Willick sighed.

Lucy opened the door, and several people left the data room. When the automatic door closed, Lucy glanced deeply at the position of the main console through the gap. She knew that when the door was closed, this history would be sealed forever. From now on, only the four present will know the past of the Erza.

"Are you okay?" Allen asked softly, he saw that Lucy's mental state was not very good.

"It's nothing, let's go to the power room." Lucy smiled, no matter how she looked at it, the smile was a bit forced.

She took a breath, thought for a while, and then drew up a route: "Follow me."

Half an hour after they left, a team of sword demons searched the door of the data room. When seeing the pried metal plate, a knife demon broke away from the team. After a while, Kamu strode over. Pushing away a few soldiers, seeing the circuit card slot exposed under the metal plate, the general showed a smirk: "Open this door for me, these rats must escape inside!" r1058
