Colonial Suit

The yacht, Carmel.

This was the seventh day of entering the Nether Domain.

People bustled about on the yacht, which was hosting a dance party. Although the universe outside the window was filled with terrifying black mist, it couldn't stop everyone's mood for entertainment. In the dance hall on the top floor of the yacht, men and women in formal attire mingled and danced gracefully in the brilliant lights. From time to time, couples would experience an emotional connection, holding hands and leaving the dance floor for further, more intimate interactions.

Outside the dance floor, Blood瞳 watched the men and women below with boredom, merely drinking in silence.

The Carmel was a nice yacht, but it lacked the training equipment he needed. Having suddenly lost his leisure time, Blood瞳 felt extremely bored. Come to think of it, since he was a child, Blood瞳 had almost never experienced the life of a normal person; entertainment and socializing were luxuries. His only joy was to constantly train and train, constantly becoming stronger and stronger.

This was the habit of those who survived in the apocalypse. Blood瞳 had almost forgotten how to entertain himself. Even when he sought out women, it was simply for physiological release.

"What are you thinking about?"

Robbie's voice came from behind. He walked over with a glass of wine in his hand. His blue priest's robe looked very appropriate, his temperament elegant and his demeanor graceful.

"Nothing." Blood瞳 drained the remaining wine in his glass in one gulp, then casually tossed it aside. "Why aren't you down there dancing? I think you'd bring a surprise to many ladies."

"Hey, buddy. That's not your usual tone." Robbie smiled awkwardly. "You think that's a surprise? Oh, I think that's a torment."

"As a priest, you should be selfless." Blood瞳 continued with a venomous remark, then turned his gaze to the starry sky outside the window. "I wonder if Avril is still alive."

"............" Robbie was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stopped you in Kanali."

"It's not your fault." Blood瞳 shook his head and said seriously, "After all, we needed this disguise. Your choice was the right one. As for what happened later, no one wanted to see it."

"Tell me, where did the Blood Specters come from?"

"I don't know either, but the Blood Specters have been around for a long time. The Nether Domain has had them since long ago. It's just that the appearance of the Blood Specters was rare at that time, and they were only encountered occasionally. It's only recently that they've started to appear frequently. The only thing that hasn't changed is that they never leave survivors." At the end, Robbie's face darkened slightly, knowing that these words would definitely make Blood瞳 worry again.

But to his surprise, Blood瞳's expression didn't change at all. Instead, he muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"They've been around for a long time?"

In his mind, Blood瞳 recalled what the Bandage Merchant had said. "Go to the Nether Domain, there you'll find everything you want."

The Blood Specters are wilding cell clusters. This was something Blood瞳 had already confirmed. If they really existed a long time ago, then it could be seen that what the Bandage Merchant said was absolutely correct. This Nether Domain really did have the remains of the Crodir civilization. But what did Robbie mean when he said they only started appearing frequently recently?

Could it be that the Crodir civilization's ruins were awakening without a controller?

No, if that's the case, then I must find it as soon as possible.

Blood瞳's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "Robbie, can you find any information about the Blood Specters?"

"I've already read what I've found. But if you want more detailed information, then I'll need some more time. My mercenary level doesn't have access to a complete database. I'll have to think of a way." Robbie was slightly stunned, then immediately replied.

"You can use my access." Blood瞳 said quickly. He had Comet-level access, which was obviously much wider than Robbie's Meteor-level access.

Robbie also realized this, so he nodded. "Okay. But what do you want that stuff for? And you haven't told us the purpose of coming to the Nether Domain this time. I'm very curious."

"............" Blood瞳 fell silent. In fact, he and Robbie had known each other for so long, and their friendship had long been tested. But after all, Crodir was his biggest secret. It really made Blood瞳 hesitate. After a while, he reluctantly said, "I'll tell you, but not now. If things go well, maybe you'll know soon."

"Okay." Robbie shrugged. "Since you've said so, we're teammates anyway. Your business is our business."

Speaking of the team, Blood瞳 suddenly froze. "What about the Gemini siblings? I haven't seen them since we got on the ship."

"They're having fun, you don't have to worry about them." Robbie replied with a smile, then went out the door on his own.

Watching his back, Blood瞳's gaze froze for a moment, then he picked up another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Ding, the glass landed on the table, making a crisp sound. Blood瞳 threw himself heavily into the recliner on the side.

Looking up at the sky. "So bored..."

Robbie moved quickly, or rather, he had his own method of collecting information. He only took more than three hours to return, bringing back a series of Blood Specter data. This data was all archived a long time ago, because the Blood Specter's whereabouts were rare at that time, so the description was also very simple. Most of it was just what time, where, and how many victims were found, etc.

This data was naturally meaningless to Blood瞳. What he wanted to know was the coordinates of the Blood Specter's first appearance. Because he believed that that was the place most likely to be close to the Crodir civilization's ruins.

"According to the time order, this document is it." Robbie provided him with an electronic document after knowing Blood瞳's thoughts. But then he said, "It's just that this document is the earliest, but it shouldn't be what you want. Because this is only the recorded part, and there are many more in the unrecorded part. You know, Blood Specters never leave survivors. We have no way of accurately knowing the point where it first appeared."

"So troublesome." Blood瞳 frowned as he browsed the document. Robbie was right, this document was not what he wanted either. Because the coordinates were near a planet, and that place had already been developed. If the Crodir ruins were there, they would have been discovered long ago.

This definitely did not fit Crodir's style.

According to Blood瞳's understanding of Crodir, if they really left behind a civilization, it would either be mysterious and unpredictable, or it would have a powerful protective force. But Crodir was defeated by the power of the universe as early as the Great Chaos Era, and no matter how powerful the protective force was, it could not guarantee the safety of the ruins. Then there was only one possibility, mystery, making it as impossible as possible for people to figure out.

Wilding cell clusters, that is, Blood Specters, may have been released by the Crodir ruins for self-protection. But this kind of waste product was just a consumable. If you want to use it to find the ruins, the hope is not great.

But no matter what, having hope is better than having no hope. Blood瞳 didn't expect to find the Crodir civilization's ruins all at once. He wasn't that self-aware. "Are there any other ways?" Thinking of this, Blood瞳 still planned to start with the Blood Specters. Because this was the only way to get close to the truth. Otherwise, unless he could search the entire star field. But that was obviously unrealistic.

The latest novel is first published on 6|9|Shu|Ba!

"This..." Robbie hesitated. He carefully searched his memory, and after a while, he also opened his smart brain to check. After a long time, he said with some reluctance, "There is one last way."

"What way?"

"Search the pirate's database." Robbie gritted his teeth and said this idea that he couldn't even imagine. "Because the Nether Domain was first discovered by pirates, and it has always been in their control, so the pirate's database must be more comprehensive than ours. If you have to get the earliest and most detailed information about the Blood Specters, then this is the only way."

Robbie's expression was very unwilling. Speaking of which, cosmic mercenaries and pirates were two opposing systems. Unless it was absolutely necessary, who would use this method? Moreover, the database has always been the most closely guarded part of any force. Even members of the force have to go through layers of review to use it.

Not to mention going to enter the other party's database?

But this was the only way at the moment. Otherwise, Robbie couldn't find any more information about the Blood Specters. And even if this method was used, it was still unknown whether the desired information could be obtained.

Adventure does not equal harvest, is such an adventure worth doing?

The two fell silent. Robbie quietly looked at Blood瞳, waiting for his decision.

After a long time, Blood瞳 took a deep breath, raised his head in Robbie's gaze.

"Let's do it. But where do we enter the pirate's database from?"

Now the cosmic technology is developed, and any smart brain can connect to the pirate's database. But this does not mean that anyone can access it. Without permission, everything is empty talk. None of Blood瞳's team was a pirate, and it was even more impossible to have high-level authority to access more information.

"There is a place we can use." Seeing Blood瞳 make a decision, Robbie also made up his mind. "But it's a big risk."

"What place?"

"Nether Domain, Pirate Branch." Robbie said seriously. "Only the pirate data terminal there can give us a chance to find something."

"Are you kidding?" Blood瞳 was stunned, then frowned. He was not afraid of taking risks, but Robbie's proposal was simply unrealistic. How big would a pirate branch in a star field be? Just look at 6. This was still the branch of the Sixth World, and there were Meteor-level members like Hensel stationed there at the beginning. Although the current Nether Domain pirate branch was unlikely to have powerful warriors like Hensel, attacking it was still a fantasy.

With just a few of them, they would probably be taken down before they could even get in.

Robbie smiled slightly, of course he was not stupid, so he would not consider this point. What he wanted to say was another place, "What I mean is not a first-level branch of the pirate. It's a second-level."

"Our target is the pirate's second-level branch, located in Marie Herstein."
