Recorder raised his hand, stopping the rest of the group from entering.
"It's not necessarily easier for you to deal with than it is for me."
"What is it!" Spades was a little anxious, "Can you explain it clearly?"
"I think this should be a spiritual weapon." Longmai said softly, "The recorder must have been attacked by that thing just now. When she heard us saying that she couldn't see it, she immediately thought that this might be some kind of illusion, so she just wiped it Some clothes are torn."
"Ah... As expected, it's more normal to let a specialized person explain it." Recorder carried a steel chopping ax, "Let's put it this way, there is a three-meter-tall lizard man standing in front of me, using two scimitars. Hit me hard."
"You can't see it at all." Lu Ning said.
"Yeah, so it should be an illusion, an illusion that only I have. When I think so, it can't cause any harm to me. But if I take it seriously, I'm afraid my clothes will serve as a warning." Recorder doesn't think so. Why are you panicking, "Dragon Vein, does this kind of technology really exist?"
"I said, idealistic weapons. The development of the alliance has long thrown aside idealism, and the development of science on this kind of thing is almost zero." Longmai said, "Fortunately, you seem to be able to deal with it."
"The problem is that only the recorder can do it." Lu Ning said solemnly, "If it is really an idealistic weapon, it can only rely on its own psychological cognition or hypnosis to deal with it. It can deceive one's own heart. How many people are there?”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Lu Ning himself couldn't avoid it. This was not a problem that could be solved by wisdom. Recorder's own mental state is a bit abnormal, and she is also a bit stubborn. What she believes is true is true and false is false, which just avoids the most fatal factor of this attack. However, no matter Lu Ning, or the companions Dragon Vein, Iron Eyebrow, and Spades, no one can guarantee that they will not think about "what if it can also actively switch between virtual and real", and this thought occurs even for a moment. , the illusion will immediately turn into a real sharp blade.
"Then... recorder, follow my instructions and search the room." Lu Ning said.
"Okay. Hey, if it weren't for this big guy, I really couldn't beat him. I really want to give it a try." Recorder put away the steel chopping ax and actually ignored the sharp blades and aliens in front of him.
"The first step is the cabinet. They like to engrave words and patterns on the metal surface and preserve them. Cabinets are usually places where other things are placed. I will send you a translation file and see if there are any pictures that need to be cracked first. .”
Clarinet came to the huge standing cabinet, tested it first and found that it was unlocked, then stood on the side and yanked the cabinet open.
"Safe." Lu Ning took a glance and saw that there were no strange defensive weapons popping out.
The recorder then turned to the front.
"There are four floors in total. The upper two floors have six planet models, and the lower two floors have two books."
"Is there any sign that would provide identification?"
"It seems... I didn't notice it." Recorder raised his head, "And the top layer is a bit too high, so I can't quite reach it."
"Read the book first and take pictures for us."
The Ranger's book was large and heavy, but because it was made of metal, it also had a lot of text engraved on it. The recorder quickly photographed a few pages of information, and Lu Ning sat down at the door and began to interpret it against the translation.
The previous ones are all about bragging about achievements, explaining what planets they have conquered and what powerful civilizations they have defeated. The Rangers seem to enjoy this kind of thing, and you can see records of their "glorious past" everywhere.
After looking at three or four pictures in a row, I found more meaningful content.
There is a discussion about "purpose". As a technology that the Rangers are good at using, "eyes" are widely used in various fields, and they regard it as a convenient auxiliary means. As expected, this beacon building is also disguised through "purpose". Although it is one-sided to simply summarize it as a cognitive fraud method, this is what Lu Ning's team encountered.
In the following paragraph, a cracking method is mentioned.
The Rangers have not fully mastered this technology, and some of the seals carried out through "eyes" are difficult for them to open. This leads to the need to form an effective and versatile solution to different "eyes". The leader also proposed his own idea and recorded it here. Unfortunately, he probably did not conduct the experiment because this is the last page.
"Let me read another book...don't these lunatics find it heavy?" Recorder cursed. It was really hard to flip through the heavy metal pages. At least she was already sweating profusely, and she had no time to care about what was behind her. That phantom that was swinging a knife crazily.
Recorder quickly took a picture of another book. This record was more daily, but due to the order of the pages, it was taken from back to front. Lu Ning read the last part first.
"The room... remains, the phantom of purpose, the place where the vision is is the eye, and the place where the vision is not is the reality." Lu Ning looked at the translation tool to find the part that could be translated.
"Can this thing become physical?"
The murmur of the recorder came from the communicator. Lu Ning was suddenly startled, and immediately stood up and said: "Don't believe it! This is to induce you to have thoughts——"
But at a glance, nothing happened in the room.
"...Captain, I was once a soldier after all. I don't just believe what others say." Recorder let out a lazy laugh, "But it's best to find the conditions for this thing to become a reality. I don't want to be It follows back to the outpost.”
Lu Ning let out a long breath and returned her gaze to the picture.
"The eye is born from the non-eye. Thoughts and understanding are roughly the same. Journey, conquest, defeat, self-understanding, our clan's technology."
Most of what can be translated are words one by one, and not many can be connected into a sentence. After all, the differences between languages are huge. Lu Ning could only put these together first and plan to send them to NE-002 when she returned.
"Oh, Captain, I found the text. It's engraved on the cover of the book. It's our text." The recorder finally finished flipping through the thick book and gritted his teeth. "It turns out that these people didn't know after reading the book. It took me so much effort to close it and turn the pages back.”
"Read it out first... no, just take pictures."
Soon, the photo under the shadow light was sent to everyone, and it was a very brief etched text.
[The information sent back by Revealer 3 shows that the secret of Phantom Star can no longer be concealed and can only be suppressed. The exploration mission here is over. I would like to warn those who come after you not to go deep and return immediately. If you reach the point where it is difficult to return, you will be responsible for the consequences.
——Gu Mingchuang. 】
"Gu Mingchuang... I remember you mentioned this name, captain." Tie Mei said, "He is one of the three heavenly soldiers in the advance team, right?"
"Yes." Lu Ning nodded, "Since it is them, it is not surprising that they can enter here. It seems that they have also found a way to break through the target and read those books. But why should we return immediately? Fantasy Star The secret...can't be known to anyone?"
"What needs to be considered is that Gu Mingchuang is also one of Pang Xu's men. Although he is very strong, force alone may not be able to handle everything." Longmai said while thinking about it, "Pang Xu probably has more information. If Gu Mingchuang is his Confidants, it’s normal to share some information. They made this judgment based on a lot of information, but we don’t know where the problem lies.”
"One thing I care about is that if there is such a danger, why not just leave a message outside, but lead us here and tell us this?" Spades asked.
"Gu Mingchuang is also a soldier. He knows the style of the alliance very well. If we don't find anything and just make a decision to retreat with just one sentence from him, I'm afraid he will be charged with fleeing." Lu Ning said, "And we have walked all the way. , counting the information in the book and the things found earlier, it can almost explain the potential danger of this powerful civilization. Plus some information collected by other beacon buildings, it may not be impossible to retreat through the relevant regulations of the "Nebula Development Act" .”
"Are we really going to retreat?" The recorder raised his voice slightly.
"We don't need to decide this. The report will be sent to NE-002 and DU-001 for comprehensive consideration. Our investigation will not stop before that. I think if you can't find a reason, it will probably be difficult for you to accept this. An unclear journey.”
"At least I am." Recorder took photos of the six planets above, then turned around and walked back.
"Wait a minute, Recorder, and look at the rest of the things in the room. Since this is where the rangers once lived, there should be something left."

The area of the wetland remains was several times larger than the observation station that Lu Ning found, so the various teams basically spread out to explore. The observers have long since disappeared, and now there are no danger factors in this ruins.
Shang Shengui tried for a long time in a place that looked like a database, but failed to complete the transcription of the data. He had to ask his subordinates to take pictures and store everything that could be projected, while he went back downstairs to relax.
"Remember... General Du seems to be looking for this side."
He is a genius in scientific research and has attracted much attention since he was a child. If he had not been too outstanding, he would not have been able to reach such an important position in such a short period of time by converting his status as a researcher into a military position. He remains humble in terms of combat and weapon use, but still has pride in knowledge. Even most of the technical arms in the army cannot chat with him for long.
Therefore, meeting Du Xieyi was an unexpected blessing - she was able to communicate with Shang Shenyi, and the knowledge she inadvertently revealed was not inferior to him. Shang Shenyi could not even judge the other party's depth because of Du Xieyi's careless talk. It seems that he is stuck at about the same level as himself.
At this time, I encountered some troubles, and it was natural to find the only person who could chat with me. Shang Shenfu walked along the route in his memory for a while, and saw Du Xieyi's subordinates. The label of DU-001 was easy to recognize. When these people saw Shang Shenfu, they all saluted. Many of them were not very standard. It seemed that Du Xieyi didn't ask these people to be the same at all.
"General Du, you..."
Following the direction of the team members, he walked into a not very big room. Just as he was about to speak, he was stunned. Du Xieyi was sitting on a square stone, holding a small ball in his palm. A very regular polyhedron. As she moved her fingers left and right, the polyhedron was also constantly rotating.
But the most important thing is that Du Xieyi's helmet has been taken off and placed on the circular table next to it. She stared at the polyhedron with a mysterious smile, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"General Du! Why did you take off your helmet?" Shang Shenfu was shocked and rushed in. He picked up the helmet on the table and was about to buckle it on Du Xieyi, but she raised her hand to stop her and held it with her palm. The polyhedron disappears instantly.
"You don't need this." Du Xieyi stood up.
"No need? The Phantom Star virus has not yet been identified, and the transmission channel cannot be verified. We can't find any trace of the threat no matter how hard we look for it, and you still don't pay attention to protecting yourself! You are not only the team leader, you are also the commander-in-chief of the Space Defense. team leader!"
"Caravan Captain, don't be so panicked. Of course I'm sure of what I'm going to do." Du Xieyi pressed Shang Shenfu's hand and asked him to put the helmet back. She was very strong, and Shang Shenfu had almost no room to resist.
"Confirmed? Do you know how the Phantom Star virus spreads?"
"I don't know, but I extracted the videos of nine civilizations on this planet that went extinct from the observer's database and looked at them. Although these civilizations have not been able to escape from this galaxy, their level of development is no less than that of the Canglong Alliance. , they also have people who have adopted similar defensive measures, and they have even tried to exterminate patients on a large scale, but in the end they have never been able to prevent the demise of civilization." Du Xieyi knocked on his helmet, "So I think a layer of cover is not enough. It’s of no use.”
"Useless? At least it gives us insurance!"
"It's just psychological comfort. If I have that, I might as well breathe the air of Phantom Star and see what it's like here. Of course, I won't force everyone to do this... By the way, compared to that, what's more important is Isn’t it something else?”
Seeing her changing the subject, Shang Shenfu couldn't think of any way to persuade her in desperation.
"It is definitely not an accident that all nine civilizations of the Magic Star were destroyed by the Magic Star virus. The virus must have existed on the Magic Star since ancient times, and every civilization has only come into contact with the conditions for the virus to flourish. It's just that it's very difficult In summary, because each stage of development and the state of civilization are different. What’s interesting is that even observers who just silently observed and recorded died at the hands of this virus. In fact, this is no longer like a virus, but more like It’s a curse.”
"Do you believe that kind of thing exists?"
"There are always some wonderful things in the universe that we don't know about." Du Xieyi shook his finger gently, "I have seen a lot of things, so no matter how novel and interesting things happen, I don't find it strange."
"I don't see what's funny about this."
"Ah, let me tell you another interesting thing. Do you know what the special item I am asking for from the Alliance is?"
Shang Shenfu intuitively felt that Du Xieyi wanted to surprise or scare him.
"Super Explorer rocket. Although the name is quite meaningless, it is worthy of its name. After the landing craft entered the space, I launched this rocket towards the blue giant star as soon as possible. In the past few days, it has been enough for the rocket to launch the rocket along the way. The small explorer launcher has been deployed in the area within the asteroid belt." Du Xieyi opened his hand again, and a dynamic star galaxy model appeared in his palm.
"The calculation of the signals fed back by the transmitter shows that there is about one ten thousandth difference in the motion models that the three inner stars, Ironthorn Star, Alpine Star and Wooden Shell Star, should have with natural planets, so they should be simulating natural planets. The movement of the planets. How about it, Caravan Captain? Is this information interesting enough?”
"...Please let me slow down."
