Chapter 233: Journey to Hell (Part 2)

The voice from the screen is Lucy's. It is obvious that the girl directly acted as a translator, giving everyone the most intuitive understanding.
On the screen, the captain of the Elisa continued: "When I received this mission, I knew it was a one-way ticket. The empire would not allow those of us who knew it to return. Of course, we were on this trip. The rewards are very generous. The boys are cheering for the rewards they have received, but they don’t know that a large part of it is actually their pensions."
This is definitely a one-way ticket, and all the Elsa’s ships have received the most generous remuneration ever. Only the captain is the only one who knows the secret, and the others are required to sign a confidentiality agreement. They must not disclose their remuneration to their colleagues so as not to arouse suspicion. Since all the work was going on, the crew thought that they were the only ones to receive this generous reward on the day of departure, but they didn't know that when they set foot on the Elisa, they marched towards the gate of hell.
Due to the confidentiality agreement, the crew only knew that this transport was a special group of passengers. According to the captain, there are many precedents in the history of the empire that secretly transported 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 obtained, or even violate the laws of the empire for this.
"These poor people, and I am not one of them. But 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 the 15th Idahua star. Arrived at the destination, which is the edge of the universe, the Lydeon star field. The passengers on the third floor will be exiled here forever, and will not get them back until the big figures in the empire think they can restart, right?" In the picture, the man A helpless smile appeared: "As for us, we must die there. When the spacecraft lands, as long as a button is pressed, the defender will give us the end according to the previously set procedure."
"Yes, everything should be like this, if there were no surprises."
One week after the departure of the Elisa, a crew member finally discovered the anomaly on the third floor. Those working on the third floor gradually disappeared, but the captain ignored it. This attitude made the crew very puzzled, and the captain completely blocked the three floors and cut off all connected channels. What scared the crew was that when the passages to the third floor were closed one by one, no one came out, as if all the people inside were missing.
It should be known that there were hundreds of crew members serving on the Elsa at that time, and at least a hundred crew members on the third floor were responsible for the transfer of materials and daily maintenance. But when the last door closed, no one protested. No one knew what was on the third floor. Under the torture of this kind of fear, they finally broke into the main control room and asked the captain to give them an answer.
"Originally I planned to find some excuses to continue to delay, but they came out. I don't know what went wrong, maybe the devices that the big people think are absolutely safe are not like this. Anyway, they came out. Although they are not many, they are destroyed. Two passages flooded into the second floor area. I don't know what those things are. I only saw the words'Sentinel' on a handed-over document. That's probably the name of these things."
"Our guards and sentries clashed fiercely on the second floor. Although there are only five sentries, our guards are not their opponents. It wasn't until a magic soldier of the Empire took the initiative to destroy the sentry. We restored it. And strengthened the armor plates of the passage to ensure that those things would not appear from the same place. Ironically, the demonic reformers who were originally monitoring us have suffered heavy losses because of this unexpected incident."
But the situation did not improve because of the appearance of sentry. The crew knew the purpose of the trip, and no one wanted to bury the sentry on the third floor. They asked the captain to change the voyage. The captain reminded them that at the time of signing the non-disclosure agreement, the empire had known their family status. Once they did not proceed as planned, their family members who remained on Idahua might be implicated. As a result, the crew almost fell into despair.
"But something more desperate happened..." In the picture, the captain held his face and said: "Due to the appearance of the sentry, it spread to the power room during the battle, causing one of the speed accelerators to malfunction. Wait until The spacecraft’s engineers found out that we found that the warp space was out of control. So for the next half month, Elsa kept shuttled between the warp space and the universe, and we no longer knew the destination. Where it will point to, everything is unknown."
"But if we know that we will end up here in the end, I think we should detonate ourselves when we are in outer space, so that we won't have so much pain now, right? Unfortunately, Elisa did not reach the Lydeon Star Territory afterwards. We are finally forced to stand on a planet where the devil lives."
The captain disappeared in the screen, and then a sword demon's face swayed across the screen. Following the camera zoom out, you can see a large group of sword monsters pouring into the hull, fighting fiercely with the guards on the ship and the only remaining magic soldiers. The picture is constantly changing, and you can see that the battle has almost spread to the entire Elisa.
The captain reappeared in the picture: "As you can see, the natives of these planets rushed in frantically. Our resistance is simply not enough to repel them. We can only shrink the line of defense, but even so, they will be very Quickly rush in. Everything is over, yes. But we still have the last trump card. Yes, it is used to kill our defenders. Those killing machines without emotions, their implanted orders are to kill everything in the ship Life. Obviously, those planetary natives are also in the category of life."
The screen flickered suddenly, and you could see the flames appearing behind the captain. The captain hurriedly glanced back, and then pressed something sharply. Then a cold light flashed in his chest and was penetrated by a rough iron spear! He couldn't seem to believe it, and looked down. Then they were thrown aside, it was a sword demon. He tilted his head to look at the camera, stretched out his hand and shook, then yelled and threw his spear.
The screen ends here.
When Allen came back to his senses, he found that the virtual scene created by the Yunchan system had disappeared, and it seemed that the connection between them and the database had been lifted. The video record of the captain before still gave them a huge shock, and even Lucy remained silent for a long time. Now they knew why the immigrant ship was on Pluto, and they knew what was on the third layer of the ship.
But what is the sentry Idahuaxing is going to smuggle away? If it is artificial weapons developed by the Idahua people, why should they be quietly disposed of? Also, obviously there is no message of devil's praise in this video, and it seems that there is no connection between the Elisa and this source device. Probably the source device's information can only be dig from the inside of the sword demon.
This is almost an impossible task.
"My God, Miss Lucy. You made those big guys, so can you control them?" Willick asked.
Lucy shook her head and said: "I have never seen these guys, let alone the existence of a weapon like sentinels. Maybe you won't believe it, I have almost one-third of the data volume of 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 Ida Huaxing since we were sensible. Only by knowing the history can we clarify the responsibilities of each member of the royal family. But I know There has never been a record similar to a sentinel in the history. Most likely, this part of history has been artificially deleted..."
"It seems that there is some dark history wherever you are." Allen sighed.
Lucy said silently and for a long time: "There is no shortage of war in the history of Star Idahua. It has been a rare peaceful and prosperous age in the last millennium, but the open and secret struggles between the royal families have never stopped for a moment, but they have changed other methods. It’s also more restrained. Those sentinels are probably the product of the power struggle two thousand years ago. I’m sure the hands of these weapons must be stained with blood, so they need to be secreted/disposed. No one in power would want to I have had stains in my political career. Once I have gained power, it is only natural to immediately destroy relevant files and all evidence."
"In any case, we finally know that we can't go to the third floor." Allen mentioned Qian Jun and said: "Let's go, we have to go to the power room. Cut off the energy so we can get out of here."
Lucy nodded: "That is the only way we leave, otherwise as long as the sword demon closes the passage, we will be trapped here."
"Let's go~EbookFREE.me~ I already miss the base dormitory a bit now." Willick exclaimed.
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 period of history would be dusty forever. From now on, only the four people present knew about Elisa's past.
"Are you okay?" Allen asked softly. He didn't think Lucy was in a good state of mind.
"It's nothing, let's go to the power room." Lucy smiled, no matter how she looked at it, her smile was somewhat reluctant.
She took a breath, thought a little, and drew up a route: "Follow me."
Half an hour after they left, a team of Swordsmen searched the door of the data room. When he saw the metal plate being pried apart, a sword demon left the team. After a while, Kamu strode to him. Pushing a few soldiers away, seeing the loop card slot exposed under the metal plate, the general smiled sternly: "Open this door for me, these mice must escape inside!" r1058
