The Death Knell

"The indoor environment is directly connected to the universe, which is not safe." Aphra twitched her little nose and took a few deep breaths: "But the energy has only been restored not long ago, and we can breathe here without any problems, which means there should be a separate set of The energy system is working.”

"You said you saw Ruel, Master Deathstroke?" Barriss drew out her lightsaber, but did not rush to light it.

"On the physical level, I didn't see him, but I sensed his presence in the Force, inside the huge crystal cluster hanging upside down in the cavity." Su Ming looked at the fallen corpses around him. First of all, Went onto the trestle.

Yes, I sensed it. It was like a green seed, frozen in the universe, but full of vitality.

It was a contradictory feeling. It was not simply the force of life, but also mixed with many incomprehensible elements.

"These people seem to be civilians, or family members of the Jedi. They have no weapons." Aphra walked behind Deathstroke, and after just a casual glance, she noticed the difference in the corpses.

"But their vitality was still taken away." Sanling walked beside his master, and he pretended to shake his head: "Fortunately, I am a robot, so there is no problem with lifespan, but seeing the miserable condition of these people, I still feel sorry for them. They feel sad."

San0 is a principled robot. Although he is good at killing and likes killing, he never kills unarmed civilians.

Except for robots, because they are "iron" themselves. Even so, San0 will be very humane and turn off their pain modules before attacking.

"Not talking about that, has the video been preserved? This discovery will make me famous. Maybe it won't be difficult to become a director of the Archaeological Association." Aphra didn't care how these people died, she only cared about what she could learn from it. No matter how much benefit you get, after all, there is no use caring about the dead: "Give these corpses close-ups, and then photograph the universe under the suspension bridge."

"Okay, Master, you are such a cold and ruthless super beauty."

At this moment, Robot Wolong was still using his ability to flatter people. It was clear that there was no direct connection between these virtues and appearance, so he forced himself to take pictures.

Aphra didn't answer, seemingly just waving her hands casually, but the snicker on her face completely betrayed her, and she felt very comfortable being photographed.

Su Ming, who was leading the way, just listened. He shook his head with a smile and continued walking on the suspension bridge.

There is space under this kind of bridge, and it feels good to be able to see the Milky Way. I have learned new 'decoration knowledge', and I will try to find a way to get one for Sepurk when I get back.

As for Aphra? In fact, as long as she dresses up well, she is indeed a beauty, with Su Ming's familiar yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, a face that looks like Zhou Xun's, and small tiger teeth.

But her personal hygiene ruined everything and she smelled like her younger cousin that was a few notches lighter.

The suspension bridge is very long, and it also passes through several suspended rings below. The large hole is divided into circles, which coincides with the setting of the Milky Way being divided into three rings: inner, middle and outer.

They remained vigilant and passed the suspension bridge. The expected attack did not come. Soon, several people came to the inner ring closest to the huge crystal cluster and looked up at the green crystal.

"Is there a console here, Aphra?"

Deathstroke pointed to the short white pillar not far away.

The archaeologist leaned over to take a look and pressed a button without thinking, and soon the whole space shook.

The cosmic space in front of everyone turned into a lake, blue, like a mirror. They filled the last distance between everyone and the crystal cluster, making it look like a lonely cliff in the lake.

The crystal slowly rose with the roar, revealing one of the suspended elevators.

"So that's the control panel that controls the elevator?" Aphra touched her chin and nodded, looking like she suddenly realized: "So, the main control room of the entire castle is actually inside the spar."

"Huh? Didn't you know what that button was for before you pressed it?" Mary pointed to the control panel in front of the archaeologist with a bit of collapse.

"I really don't know, but my archaeological experience tells me that generally when encountering this kind of situation, just press the biggest button." Aphra smiled and showed her thumb, and she pressed it with this finger. Is the switch powerful?

Everyone waded through the water, and the cold feeling spread upwards along the soles of their feet. Almost everyone except Deathstroke couldn't help but speed up their pace, including the robot.

Stepping on the elevator, a disk made of condensed energy lifted several people up until they entered the top of the spar.

It's hard to tell how big the crystal was, but the elevator, which was not slow, took a full five minutes until it lifted several people into the control room filled with green light.

The so-called control room is much smaller than the diameter of the crystal itself. It is probably a circular hall of less than a thousand square meters. In the center of the hall is a central control room that looks a bit like the fountain in the Hall of Justice Square. On the platform, the colorful crystal prisms still supply energy to it.

There are a few corpses in the control room, as well as some dilapidated robots. The bodies of these robots look a bit like Baymax, but their faces are more ferocious, as if they have the face of Ultron.

"The corpse over there, judging from the hairstyle and clothes, should be Eternal Rule." Aphra took a few steps, turned over the corpse lying on its side next to the elevator, and took away the lightsaber from the master's waist: "Say To be honest, he doesn't look particularly 'eternal'."

The corpse is the same as those in the outside world. Its vitality has been drained, and the body left behind is like a burnt gummy candy.

"It's strange. If he himself is dead, the induction of the Force of Life is clearly coming from here." Mary scratched her head, her ponytail dangling behind her.

"That's because he's not dead. Back off!" Master Ao Fei's lightsaber popped out and she looked around with vigilant eyes.

Su Ming also raised the God Killer in his hand and said into the air in front of him: "Master Ruer, aren't you going to explain something?"

As soon as the words fell, the green light suddenly brightened in the center control room, and the colorful crystal on the center console also changed colors at the same time. The rich flowing light began to twist like a liquid and gradually formed its substance.

A distorted, deformed huge face appeared in the air. It was a manifestation of the Force like a ghost face. The ghost face had a mouth and eyes like a Halloween pumpkin, but it was entirely a fel green version.

It seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and was still a little unconscious. It just used the force technique of shaking the air to ask questions to everyone:

"What time is it now?"

"Are you Rule? Jedi Master?"

Aphra took out her small laser pistol, suddenly thought of something, put away the gun and popped out the colonial lightsaber from her arm.

"I am Eternal Ruel!" His concrete gaze swept over everyone, and his tone was full of condescension: "What time is it now?"

"You may not understand the calendar, because we don't know when you died." Su Ming stood at the front of the team. He carefully looked at the monster in front of him: "But it's enough that you can speak English. , tell me what unfulfilled wishes you have, you don’t have much time.”
