Chapter 67: Star Alliance Guard

“Siyu, where are we going?”

“You’ll know when we get there. You will be amazed!”

The Tiansuo spaceship was still drifting in the Andromeda Galaxy. Its energy was no longer enough to perform a Space Jump, so it could only use Warp Flight mode.

Yan Siyu led the way, heading towards the dark and remote edges of Andromeda. Within hundreds of Light Years in all directions, there were no stars in the main sequence stage. There were only “dead” Star Systems, mostly dwarf planets, which were the remains left behind after stars like the Sun died.

The spaceship flew at nearly 5,000 times the speed of light for seven days straight, covering a distance of nearly a hundred Light Years, before arriving at a special star region.

This place was special because a black hole existed here. It was an extremely terrifying celestial body formed from the death of a supermassive star.

The star region ahead was pure black. There was not a single ray of starlight, and no objects could be seen. If this area did not have extremely abnormal space collapse, one would never have discovered the existence of the black hole.

It lay quietly, lurking there like an ancient giant beast, devouring everything that passed by, including light!

“Fly in. Don’t resist its gravity. The inertial balance system on the spaceship will protect us!”

“Yan Siyu! Are you crazy? Our Tiansuo spaceship cannot withstand the tidal gravity of a black hole. It would tear us apart into basic particles!” Before Lin Lei could even speak, Li Yi shouted loudly.

Black holes were too famous. Their terrifying reputation was deeply rooted in the hearts of people in interstellar space. Over the past few days, following Xiao Boru, Li Yi had also learned about the performance parameters of this Ao Star Tiansuo spaceship. He did not think the Tiansuo spaceship could survive the destructive power of a black hole.

Lin Lei did not hesitate. He immediately gave the order to the Master Control Brain: “Fly towards the celestial body ahead at full speed.” Yan Siyu would not harm him. He was deeply convinced of this.

Yan Siyu replied with a charming smile.

Li Yi widened his eyes, feeling unable to believe it. He murmured, “Crazy, you are both crazy. My prime youth is about to be over.”

Xiao Boru did not care about this at all. He was still buried in operating the intelligent computer in the master control room, performing endless calculations.

Li Dasong was not in the master control room at all. He was busy exercising. The nutritious food plus a reasonable exercise plan had made his muscles fill out quickly.

The speed of the Tiansuo spaceship increased more and more. At this time, the ship itself did not need to accelerate. It was left to the terrifying gravity of the black hole to pull it towards this mysterious Universe Abyss. A few seconds later, it disappeared into the unknowable Event Horizon of the black hole.

“Alert, alert. The spaceship is subjected to huge gravitational pull. The load on the inertial balance system has reached 75%, 76%, 77%…”

The most terrifying gravitational tides of the black hole took effect. Even though the spaceship was only 150 meters long, if it did not have the protection of a Protective Force Field, the gravity difference exerted on the bow and stern was enough to tear the spaceship into spaghetti.

The energy of the spaceship dropped rapidly. The inertial balance system was facing collapse. Destruction seemed to arrive in just one second!

The expression in Yan Siyu’s eyes did not change at all, but her hand unconsciously gripped Lin Lei’s arm.

Just as the spaceship’s energy was about to run out, a light appeared outside the window. After that, the Master Control Brain’s frantic damage reports stopped. The speed of the spaceship suddenly dropped from near the speed of light to a low-speed area of less than the speed of sound, just like diving into an extremely thick buffer agent.

“The space environment outside the spaceship has returned to normal. The current speed of the spaceship is 100 meters per second. The spaceship engines are off, maintaining inertial flight.” The Master Control Brain regained its gentle and slow tone.

Amidst a burst of light outside the window, a white spherical object began to appear. At first glance, it did not seem large. But as the distance decreased, it was found to be a real big guy. Its estimated diameter was fully over a thousand kilometers, a whole small planet!

“What is this?” Li Yi was completely attracted by the scene outside the spaceship. Lin Lei also looked at Yan Siyu with confusion.

Of course, Xiao Boru remained immersed in his own world, ignoring everything outside.

Yan Siyu looked at this white planet outside and said, “Welcome to the branch of the Star Alliance stationed in the Andromeda Galaxy. This is the station of the Star Alliance Guard!”

This truly surprised everyone. Lin Lei said incredulously, “Siyu, are you saying the Galaxy Star Alliance? How can it be inside a black hole in the Andromeda Galaxy?” This was the doubt of everyone. Even Xiao Boru, who had turned into a little boy, raised his head and looked at Yan Siyu with curiosity.

“I can’t explain it all at once. I only know this is a false black hole, artificial. Someone will come to greet us soon. You will know then.” Yan Siyu winked playfully and kept them in suspense.

Things happened exactly as Yan Siyu expected. Soon, the Tiansuo spaceship received a signal requesting connection. After the signal was connected, a middle-aged man with a serious expression appeared on the holographic screen. His face was ancient, exuding an otherworldly aura. But his facial features were basically not very different from Earthlings or Aostarians. He also had black hair and black eyes.

There was a transcendent aura on him. This aura was not acquired later in life. Like Yan Siyu, an Aostarian, it was innate and very eye-catching.

At first glance, Lin Lei determined that this man was definitely someone from the Eleventh Civilization.

Yan Siyu obviously harbored reverence for this middle-aged man. She performed an Ao Star etiquette gesture before respectfully saying, “I am Yan Siyu, an Aostarian. The people next to me are my friends. Our spaceship encountered an accident during the Space Jump and accidentally entered the Andromeda Galaxy. With no other choice, we could only come here for help.”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, “Little girl, I am certain you are an Aostarian. Your spaceship will be transmitted to Planet A by the transmission beam. I wish you a pleasant journey!” His voice was very heavy, making people feel power with just one hearing.

Then the holographic image disappeared. This middle-aged man’s efficiency was unusually high. Was it too hasty just like this?

“He is a Yustarian, possessing the ‘Words of True Sight’. He could tell the truth just by looking at me.” Yan Siyu explained.

Lin Lei realized. Only members of the Watcher Civilization could possess such a unique aura. He wondered what Starlonians looked like.

The transmission light mentioned by that Yustarian just now quickly took effect. Lin Lei only saw the scene outside the spaceship blur for a moment, and then become clear again. But the specific content had changed. In other words, the spaceship had arrived inside Planet A.

“Lei, let’s go. Let’s get off the ship. Don’t you want to join the Star Alliance Guard? This is an opportunity.”

“Okay, let’s go for a walk. Old Xiao (although he turned into a child, Lin Lei was used to calling him that, and changing the title felt weird), Li Yi, Dasong, shall we go together?”

“Wait, the spatial dimension disturbance inside is very large. If there is no protective aura, unpredictable consequences will occur. So, only you and I can go out. The other three have to wait for special personnel to pick them up,” Yan Siyu explained patiently.

Li Yi’s mind was now sunk in Old Xiao’s mathematical world. Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said, “Right, you two go. I won’t be a third wheel.” As for Old Xiao, there was no need to say more. He was just calling all the computing resources of the spaceship. Li Dasong didn’t even come out from the training room.

Lin Lei shrugged and said, “Alright then. Siyu, let’s go down and take a look.”

Outside the spaceship was a white world. It was very bright, but it was unknown where the light came from.

Someone had long been waiting to greet them. It was the middle-aged man from the holographic image just now. He was somewhat surprised to see Lin Lei, who walked out of the spaceship as well, and a trace of wonder flashed in his eyes, but he did not say anything.

Because there was a third party present, out of politeness, this Yustarian did not use the telepathy skill but spoke directly: “Little girl, I am Yuan Shanxing, a Yustarian. I think you did not just accidentally enter this place but have some request, right?”

This guy indeed possessed the Words of True Sight. He saw through everything instantly without hiding anything.

Yan Siyu did not look embarrassed. Communication between members of the Watcher Civilization followed the principle of just two words: Honesty.

“Of course. This is my friend. His name is Lin Lei. He has the intention to join the Star Alliance Special Action Team. I hope you can examine his combat power to determine his qualifications.”

Yuan Shanxing’s gaze turned to Lin Lei. He looked at him seriously for a few moments before nodding and saying, “Then follow me. He has passed my initial test. I still need to conduct further examinations on his strength.”
