Above the gray fog

"Save the world and save the suffering?" Lin Shan tried to summarize their grand mission in the simplest language.

"You can understand it that way."

"What if I don't want to?" Lin Shan asked.

"You can leave at any time."

"I want to know why the Lookout is traveling through the void."

"For God's will."

"What if I don't agree with that God's will and just want to live here?"

"Prove that you don't belong to the Lookout, we will provide limited protection, and I won't expel you for some reasons."

"I understand, thank you for taking care of me for the next period of time." Lin Shan bowed his hands.

"You're welcome." The cute creature imitated Lin Shan's appearance, but found that his two arms were too short and couldn't be put together at all.

"Yunbao, take him to find a place to rest." The creature wrapped in gray cloth turned and left, "Remember, you can only stay for half an hour at most."

"Okay, boss!"

"Come with me." Yunbao led the way in front, and every time his feet touched the ground, there would be a tapping sound.

Yunbao led Lin Shan in through another side door of the hall. They saw a long corridor with metal doors on both sides.

"This is the rest area. There are still empty seats. I'll take you there." Yunbao introduced Lin Shan as he walked. "If you want to eat, the door we came in from is the cafeteria. Then there is the martial arts hall, the material warehouse, the driver's cab..."

"Is this place far from the Gray Mist Universe?" Lin Shan asked as he walked.

Yunbao stopped and turned its round head. Its two small ears shook with it. "I don't know if it is far or not. The main thing is that I don't know where it is." Its voice was filled with a hint of regret. "The void is boundless. There is no end for travelers wandering in the void. No one knows where the next stop is."

"If you don't have the Gray Mist Universe Beacon, you may never be able to go back in this life." Yunbao gently patted Lin Shan's waist. "But it's okay. Since you were recommended by Fujin, just treat this place as your home."

As they talked, a heavy golden-locked door was pushed open by a huge force, and the hinges made a low creaking sound.

A young man who looked about the same age as Lin Shan walked out. His eyes revealed a hint of haste, and there were a few drops of water on his clothes.

"Make way, make way, let me pass." The young man's voice was a little anxious. He raised a metal bucket high above his head, carefully avoiding splashing water, and ran quickly in the direction they came in.

"Hey, Rainbow, is there a fight outside?" He asked anxiously when he passed by Rainbow.

"Yes, but it should be almost over." Rainbow replied with its crisp voice.

"Ah! Why didn't you call me? Waste! It's really a waste!" Hearing this, the young man put the bucket of water heavily on the floor next to him, making a "dong" sound, and the water surface rippled slightly, "These guys ignored my words again!"

"Not really, because this time we only encountered a Lost City, which is all over the void, there is no danger, and the enemies are only those champions." Rainbow explained patiently.

"I heard that there was a signal for help from the lookout. Who sent the signal?" The man asked again.

"He is the source of the signal." Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Lin Shan, "But the beacon was given to him by a senior lookout."

"Oh, oh, oh." The young man nodded slightly. He touched his chin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lin Shan with an inquiring look, "Hello, new member."

"Hello." Lin Shan nodded.

Then, the young man picked up the bucket again and turned back to his room. There was a heavy sound of the door closing, leaving Lin Shan and Rainbow Dash to continue moving forward in the corridor.

"That man just now was not a void creature, right?" Lin Shan's voice was inquiring.

"No, he is a temporary traveler on the ship." Rainbow Dash's steps did not stop, and continued to lead Lin Shan forward. Then, its palm was placed on a metal door, and it gently applied force, and the door slowly opened, "Here, this is your room."

"Except for the cockpit, you can go anywhere on the Targon." Rainbow Dash turned his head and looked at Lin Shan with his big eyes.

Lin Shan just nodded. Although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, he knew that worrying at this time would not help. He couldn't go back to the Gray Mist Universe. For a long time to come, this ship would be his temporary residence.

Lin Shan was still a little panicked. If the Gray Mist Universe disappeared during his absence, he would also die inexplicably.

But then again, even if he was there, he couldn't save the Gray Mist Universe.

So for now, he should just travel with this Lookout with peace of mind. This organization is quite powerful. At least it will keep him stable for a while.

Lin Shan stepped into the room and looked at the simple furnishings one by one.

A single bed with plain sheets, a chair and a table, all looked quite simple.

In the corner of the room, a small lamp emitted a warm light, and the decorations carved on the metal wall seemed to tell the history of the ship.

Yun Bao entered the room first and motioned Lin Shan to go in, then tiptoed to close the door and pulled Lin Shan to the bed, "Can you tell me about Fujin? How is it now?" There was a hint of expectation in its voice, and its body leaned forward, showing great interest.

"In exchange, tell me what Fujin did before." Lin Shan proposed the condition. He also wanted to get more information about this organization from Yunbao.

"Okay." Rainbow Dash nodded without hesitation, and her big mouth, which was already smiling, smiled even more.

Lin Shan told Rainbow Dash some information about Fujin. In fact, he didn't know much. He only knew that the crow was the principal of Shenzhou Civilization College.

"Fujin, it's a very handsome crow, and it's very powerful. At that time, the lookouts hadn't separated yet. Everyone gathered together. We shuttled through the void, went deep into the abyss, saved the world, and spread the will of God." Rainbow Dash's eyes seemed to recall the glorious moments of the past, and its voice was full of excitement.

"A long, long time ago, Fujin suddenly said that it wanted to go home, that is, the Gray Mist Universe. It said that it wanted to save the Gray Mist Universe." Rainbow Dash's speech speed slowed down, "At that time, many lookouts wanted to go with Fujin, but it didn't let them. It said that we were no match for the Outer Gods."

"Then it left by itself, and after that, I never saw it again." When Rainbow Dash said this, there was a hint of loss in her voice, and the concise narration seemed to hide endless stories.

The room suddenly trembled when she spoke.

Rainbow Dash jumped up from the bed quickly, "We are about to set sail. You should take a rest first. If you have nothing to do, come to the hall." It spoke quickly, and then pushed the door open and walked out in a hurry. Its hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Lin Shan was left alone in the room, and the surroundings returned to silence, except for the faint vibration of the hull.

He recalled what Rainbow Dash had just said, and it seemed that he had not said it.

He lay on the bed, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

A hazy white light suddenly emanated from the bed.

Under the cover of that soft and mysterious light, Lin Shan miraculously fell asleep.

It seemed that time stopped flowing at this moment.

Lin Shan felt his consciousness sinking endlessly.
