I have a space station

Dongfang Chen found a large, flat-headed crowbar and walked out.

The man and the robot arrived at the innermost door again.

"Click~" The robot activated the electronic lock again.

"Clang~" Dongfang Chen inserted the crowbar into the door seam and pried it to the left.

"Squeak~" A sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out.

A crack appeared in the door.

"Squeak~" He continued to pry, and the gap in the door grew larger.

"Ding ding ding ding~" Suddenly, the door's alarm went off.

It must have been triggered by the door remaining open for too long, which the system interpreted as a malfunction.

"Click~" The robot authorized the system again, and the alarm stopped.

After about ten minutes of prying, the door was opened about ten centimeters. At this point, the crowbar was no longer effective.

However, he could now insert his hand.

With a strong push, the door was successfully opened.

Dongfang Chen walked inside.

The inside didn't seem to have much, just a chair in the very center of the room.

It looked very heavy, like an electric chair.

"Mr. Dongfang, please have a seat," the robot said as it walked up to the chair.

"What's this for?" Dongfang Chen felt a little apprehensive.

It would be awkward if he were locked in as soon as he sat down.

"Don't worry, there's no danger," the robot didn't explain.

"Can't I just not sit down?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dongfang Chen, but without sitting down, we cannot proceed to the next stage."

"Alright!" Dongfang Chen bit the bullet and sat down.

"Mr. Dongfang, please place your arms on the armrests," the robot reminded him.

"… …" Dongfang Chen hesitated.

"Is this definitely not a torture chair? Why do I feel like I've gotten on the wrong bus?" He muttered to himself.

"Mr. Dongfang, you don't need to worry. Fastening the seatbelt can effectively protect your safety," the robot said, performing its duties.

"Seatbelt? The chair even has a seatbelt?" Dongfang Chen's heart pounded, but he still forced himself to put his arms on the armrests.

He'd come this far, what difference would it make if he didn't put them on?

He probably wouldn't be able to return to Blue Star without completing the process.

He had known for a long time that from the moment he entered the Kunlun Mountains, the gears of fate had been turning beyond his control.

He no longer had a choice.

"Buzz~ Click~"

"Buzz~ Click~"

Seatbelts did indeed appear on the armrests of the chair, directly securing his two arms.

"Buzz~ Click~"

Next were the abdomen and shoulders.

"Mr. Dongfang, please place your legs into the grooves," the robot reminded him.

"Okay!"

"Buzz~ Click~"

"Buzz~"

His left leg was successfully secured, but not his right leg.

Perhaps the seatbelt for that part was malfunctioning.

"Oh, it's old!" Dongfang Chen sighed.

He wasn't saying that he was old, but that the equipment was old.

How could it not be old?

This thing had been manufactured a billion years ago; maintaining this level was already quite impressive.

"Mr. Dongfang, the next procedure may cause some discomfort, please bear with it," the robot warned.

"Okay… Okay," he was already prepared.

If there wasn't any challenge, they wouldn't have designed such a chair.

"Program loading, please wait…"

"Whoosh~"

A buzzing sound rang out.

The lights in the room dimmed, and evenly distributed white dots appeared in the room, covering the entire space.

It looked very strange, and Dongfang Chen felt a bit dizzy and nauseous.

You can imagine a room with very dim light, filled with rows of neatly arranged dots of light. They were everywhere, covering the entire room.

Your eyes were completely disturbed by these dots of light, making it difficult to focus.

From Dongfang Chen's perspective, the distribution of these light dots varied from near to far. The spacing between the dots was larger in the foreground and smaller in the background. The dots in the foreground looked brighter, and the dots in the background looked dimmer.

Soon, the light dots gradually became denser.

Initially, there was a light dot approximately every ten centimeters.

Gradually, it became eight centimeters, six centimeters, two centimeters…

The light dots became smaller and smaller, and the distance between them appeared to be closer and closer.

Dongfang Chen felt as if the perspective was zooming in, zooming in, constantly zooming in.

Gradually, the light dots merged together, and a gray space appeared before his eyes.

It was a bit dazzling.

As the perspective continued to zoom out, patterns gradually appeared.

Initially, the patterns were very large, like mosaics.

After the perspective zoomed out, the patterns became smaller and much clearer.

"This is… an eye?" After the image zoomed out to a certain extent, an eye appeared.

The camera continued to zoom out, a second eye, a human face appeared, and then the entire head…

Soon, the camera stopped zooming.

Dongfang Chen was now in an office.

The layout of the office was simple.

The walls were white, and the desk was light gray.

A person was sitting in front of the desk, quietly looking at him.

This person was wearing a full-body suit and had long hair.

Behind him was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the scenery outside the window was pleasant.
