Chapter 1418 Bizarre Scenes of the Living
Chapter 1418 Bizarre Scenes of the Living
Hearing this, Xiao Ye asked with some confusion, "Boss, 'lively desolation'? It sounds rather sophisticated, what does that mean?"
Chen Mu pointed to the space in front of him and said:
"Think about it, two spaceships, thousands of miles apart, yet both stumbled upon a strange, abandoned scene."
These ten flight paths were planned in advance by the launch center, ruling out the possibility of Shen Hanmeng's manipulation.
So now, there are only two possibilities.
It could be pure coincidence, or perhaps there are only two or very few bizarre scenes in the universe that happened to be hit by the spaceship.
Either..."
As Chen Mu spoke, he looked at Xiao Ye.
Xiaoye understood, "Boss, do you mean that the universe is full of abandoned and eerie scenes?"
Chen Mu nodded slightly; this was, in his opinion, the most likely explanation.
After all, the probability of the former is extremely small, even less than one in hundreds of thousands or tens of millions.
Just a few bizarre scenes, and coincidentally, such a small spaceship was hit by them one after another. The probability is extremely low, countless times lower than winning the lottery.
So, after ruling out unlikely causes, the most probable explanation is—
The universe is filled with abandoned and eerie scenes.
"That would be really lively," Xiaoye said, looking at the dark and empty night sky.
"Yes, it seems much more lively here than we expected. The density of these eerie scenes is even higher than on land," Chen Mu said.
"But these eerie scenes are all abandoned. They may be lively, but they are also desolate."
That's why I say it's a bustling yet desolate place.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoye couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
He felt that his boss's summary was indeed quite accurate.
“Boss, we’ve been to space before. When we were monitoring black holes in space, we sent quite a few spaceships and personnel. Why didn’t we see these strange scenes back then…” Xiaoye asked.
Chen Mu thought about it and realized that Xiao Ye was indeed becoming more and more capable, able to point out suspicious points incisively.
"Ask Xu Yueji and see what she thinks," Chen Mu said.
Through Xiaoye's watch, Xuyueji replied, "Boss Chen, based on the distance calculation, I have obtained a possible result."
The distance to a black hole in space is closer than these abandoned and eerie scenes.
Therefore, I speculate that the outer reaches of space beyond the mainland may be barren within a certain distance. However, beyond that distance, there may be many abandoned and eerie scenes.
The reason it wasn't discovered before is because the exploration of deep space has never gone this far.
This is the first time since the establishment of the Wangjiang Watchtower that it has explored such a long distance.
Chen Mu frowned slightly as he pondered Xu Yueji's guess.
It must be said that this guess is indeed reasonable.
"In deep space, there are abandoned and eerie scenes, star chiefs, and black holes..." Chen Mu thought to himself. He discovered that the dark deep space was much more lively than he had imagined.
So many beings have gathered in deep space. What do they want? And why are they here?
A series of thoughts surged through Chen Mu's mind.
He realized that the existence of the Star Chief might not be as simple as "a mutated planet".
Its existence may be inextricably linked to these abandoned and eerie scenes.
Chen Mu asked, "Xiaoyue, what's the new abandoned and eerie scene like inside?"
Princess Xuyue replied, "According to the crew's report, it seems to be... an empty classroom."
"An empty classroom?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly. This strange scene was actually quite down-to-earth.
The classroom setting must have some causal relationship with the ground.
"Let the search and rescue team go in and look for any clues. If they find anything, Xiaoye and I will go over later," Chen Mu said.
After all, the distance is too far; if Chen Mu were to run there, it would probably take him two hours.
He felt that there was probably nothing to be found in that eerie scene.
Since that's the case, he was too lazy to travel all that way.
Not long after, news came back from Xu Yueji's side.
"Mr. Chen, just as you predicted, there are no useful clues inside."
"What year are the tables and chairs from? What era are they from? Are there any markings?" Chen Mu pressed.
"Mr. Chen, you are really perceptive and have a very meticulous grasp of details." Xu Yueji couldn't help but praise her. Theoretically speaking, this kind of detail is what AIs like her are best at capturing. "The tables and chairs have no markings and no production date."
However, judging from its style, it should be several hundred years old, with a very clear ancient private school style, belonging to that era.
Something from hundreds of years ago...
Chen Mu nodded slightly. He was actually aware that the layout of the eerie scene was closely related to the era in which it took place.
Sometimes, you can even deduce the year of the eerie scene from the layout.
Of course, for certain large-scale bizarre scenarios, those with the money and resources to update the environment, like [Blood Night Company] which can keep up with the times, are another story.
However, Chen Mu felt that the eerie scenes in space were not that outrageous.
The age of this "forest cemetery" is indiscernible. However, some clues can be deduced from the private school classroom.
"The strange scenes in space, have they been there for so long?" Chen Mu said. "Then let the Search for Life Institute take over. If you have any clues, tell me immediately. Xiao Ye and I won't be going."
At that moment, Chen Mu stood still, as if he was thinking about something.
Xiaoye stood quietly to the side, not disturbing Chen Mu, but keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.
Chen Mu looked behind him at the eerie, abandoned scene.
He suddenly realized that this strange scene floating in the universe was, in a sense, also a... small world.
It could even be said that they were in a state of semi-isolation from the world.
Was this eerie setting built for refuge? Or for containment?
Chen Mu couldn't figure out the motive for the time being.
Just then, Xiaoye said, "Boss, Xuyueji sent a message that spaceship number 8 has crashed into another strange scene. However... this strange scene doesn't seem to have been abandoned."
"What did you say?" Chen Mu was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this. "There's even a living, eerie scene inside. What's going on inside?"
Xu Yueji said, "Because the eerie scene has not been abandoned, those who enter cannot leave freely."
The crew of this No. 8 spacecraft lost contact a minute ago and stumbled into a bizarre scene.
Therefore, we cannot know the specific details.
Chen Mu said, "In that case, it's a good opportunity."
Xiaoye, come with me. Let's go and see this eerie scene.
