Chapter 110 Stories in Infiltration
After the Milky Way returned to stability, the culture and entertainment industry began to flourish. The "horror stories" that were popular some time ago were quickly used by businessmen who smelled business opportunities, and soon formed a stable industrial chain.
"...Have you heard of it? Recently, the "Ten Unsolved Mysteries of the Galaxy" that has been popular on the Internet, one of which seems to be related to the place we are going to soon..."
In a tourist spacecraft full of tourists, two young alien tourists are discussing the "unsolved mysteries of the galaxy" that has recently caught fire.
The spaceship they were on was originally going to visit a "zoo galaxy", but a particle storm inexplicably appeared in the galaxy they had to pass through, which forced them to take a detour to that "zoo galaxy".
"Of course I heard... It seems that countless spaceships have mysteriously disappeared in this place? Even the galaxy discoverer has disappeared..."
"...Isn't it? If I knew I was going to go here, I wouldn't have come to participate in this tour..."
They are still discussing, their expressions are full of worry, as if they are really afraid of any accidents.
At this time, a seemingly well-informed adventurer heard their conversation and confidently inserted into their discussion.
"That's all fake! I've been to this star field quite often, and as one of the busiest star roads in the universe, how could there be such an unwarranted disappearance?"
He kept showing off his knowledge in front of these two young alien ladies, and even braggingly took out his asteroid-level adventure certificate—a certificate that can be obtained as long as you have money.
And these two alien ladies seemed to be revered by his "magnificent figure", chirping and pestering him to ask questions.
The adventurer enjoyed the feeling of being admired very much, and was gradually brought to his own cabin by the two alien ladies amid waves of praise, as if he wanted to continue listening to his "great adventure story" here.
And this flattered the adventurer even more. He thought that his luck was coming. Although his race was different, he had always been a taboo, and the efficient reproductive isolation could relieve him of the burden.
But just when he was about to show off his glory, the door of the cabin was locked, and the entire room became dark.
"... still want to play something exciting? Then I don't know how to release water?" He still can't understand the current situation, and his amateur adventure career makes him completely without any sense of crisis.
"Then we won't release water?" He repeated his words, and the cabin was full of chaotic and malicious noises.
Before he could react, the two alien ladies turned into some kind of luminous life, enveloping him completely.
After just a few seconds, the adventurer disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
And when the lights here turned on again, there were still three figures in the cabin, but they all had weird smiles on their faces.
"...Look, the creatures in this dimension are so stupid, it's really hard to understand why those terrible 'demons' were born in this kind of place..."
"...Don't say more, hurry up and infiltrate, I can't wait to leave this ghost place..."
So the tourist spacecraft lost contact for a period of time when it entered a certain brown dwarf galaxy. The Ministry of Tourism, which was in charge of maintaining communication with it, instantly entered a state of tension, and almost sent someone to check the situation.
But soon this tourist spaceship reappeared in the "Travel Star Map" and reported that it was disturbed by a particle storm.
This kind of situation is not uncommon in Interstellar, so no one suspected this matter, and it was forgotten in just a few days.
But those who returned from travel gradually returned to their respective civilizations, and gradually caused a huge impact...
On the home planet of the Vengeful Crusaders of Saigulius, the leader of this revenge civilization is busy with approval work.
Even though electronic review has become the mainstream of the times, this leader still insists on using this method, which may not be so efficient.
But those who are familiar with him know that this is a way for him to engrave the past.
It was he who made the whole civilization pursue xenophobia, and it was he who made the whole civilization a militaristic authority.
He doesn't blame himself for who he is now, but he feels remorse for who he was.
On the first day when the resort planet was blown up, the angry people scolded him like a pig and dog, thinking that he, a cowardly fighter, had caused the death of tens of billions of his compatriots.
Vicious accusations and cursing almost crushed him and resigned from this "leader" position.
But he cheered up, withstood the pressure with vengeful anger, and quickly reorganized the government with iron and blood methods, and launched a war to the death against the enemy, the Kion Empire.
He succeeded, and he wiped out this enemy forever in the long river of history.
But he also failed. Every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the dead souls of tens of billions of compatriots crying to him.
The sad mood made him almost get rid of it after a long treatment, but even so, he still insisted on dealing with the physical documents every day, just like the day he heard the terrible news.
He wants to engrave this incident in his life, and remind himself constantly: You must be cold-blooded.
Only in this way can he protect everyone.
The leader rubbed his stiff wrists, stood up and wanted to relax.
Suddenly, I heard a vibration from the entire "Leader's Mansion", as if something unexpected had happened.
But when I listened carefully, there was no sound at all.
The leader frowned, quickly took out the weapon he was carrying, and turned on the communication device while aiming the weapon at the door.
"…what's going on?" He used the comm channel used by the guards, trying to understand what just happened.
But I heard a "rustling" sound of electric current from inside, and then someone connected to the channel:
"...Leader, just now the pipeline under the 'Leader's Mansion' exploded. The engineering team is already rushing to repair it, but the possibility of a second explosion cannot be ruled out. For your safety, please leave this place first."
"..." The leader did not reply, but stared at the door, and at the same time looked at the monitor hanging on the wall from the corner of his eye.
The picture in the camera is calm, but people rush past from time to time, it seems that they have received the notice to evacuate, and there are also guards here to clear the order. It seems that something is really happening.
But there was silence for a while, the communication equipment could not hear the leader's answer, and seemed to become anxious:
The leader still didn't answer, but his eyes had already moved away from the monitoring. Instead, he sat back on the chair, threw the weapon in his hand aside, and then took out a button in his pocket.
After that, he said calmly: "Who are you? Or, who are you? No need to pretend anymore, I am familiar with everyone here. You imitate very much, but maybe you haven't adapted to this place yet." In life, some details are not done well enough, and I can see the clues."
However, the other end of the device did not seem to change because of this behavior, and still said anxiously: "Leader? What are you talking about? If you don't leave, it will be too late..."
Hearing this, the leader shook his head and said lightly: "...You need my complete body, right? That's why you want to lure me out..."
"I didn't expect that even this heavily guarded place would be so infiltrated by you, and you even found out that there were explosives buried here."
"I don't know what kind of creatures you are, but I think it should be one of your technologies to read the memory by devouring the flesh of others and copying a person who looks exactly the same."
"Do you want to control the heads of various civilizations and then do something? What a terrible guy. If you want my body, then take it yourself."
"..." The person on the other side of the device didn't seem to have expected such a result. After a while, he replied in an ugly voice:
"... I didn't expect that this dimension is not full of idiots. But don't worry, it will be your turn soon."
As the words fell, footsteps sounded outside the door. And the leader still calmly held the button to activate the explosives here, and kept sending out the secrets he discovered through the transmitter in the house.
He doesn't know how far the outside world has been infiltrated, but he believes that there will always be someone who will notice these anomalies, and he will pass on all the information he has obtained as much as possible.
So he didn't raise his head until the door was opened, and then saw the scene that made his pupils shrink.
Not some weird creature, nor some kind of disgusting scene, it was an "acquaintance" who came in, even one of the leader's closest people.
That was a person who died on the vacation planet long ago, and died in that disaster.
This assistant who has been influenced by his thoughts since birth and soon accepted "xenophilia" is actually his son.
He originally wanted to train his son to be his successor, but after his "vacation order", his relative was sent to **** by his own hands.
This is the deepest regret buried in his heart. He wanted to apologize countless times, but all he saw in his dream was the blood-stained sky and crazy questioning.
"you…"
"Father, no, you taught me that you must call you 'leader' in formal occasions, so leader, what do you think of my work?"
Every expression and every tone of the person in front of me is vivid, as if a real person is alive.
This situation also caused the leader to fall into a trance for a moment.
He was thinking, should he continue like this, even if he is swallowed and copied, his memory will still be passed down in the bodies of these creatures.
That way, maybe he can do things that he hasn't been able to do all along, even in the memory of others.
His hand holding the button loosened a little at this moment, as if his heart had been shaken and he was no longer firm.
"...Yes, father, come join me, join us, join the higher world. You will live with me forever, even if it is just a string of memories..."
The voice of the person in front of me is persuasive and seductive. This group of creatures from other dimensions seems to have gotten used to this world, and even imitated it lifelike.
The voice of the leader is also shaking, and the whole person becomes a little erratic:
"...Are you... Are you still alive? Where have you been? I haven't been able to find you, not even in my dreams..."
Seeing that the imitation worked, the person in front of him continued to seduce:
"...Yes, I'm still alive, I came to the high-dimensional world... This is the eternal zone, there are no enemies, no hatred, and everything is to live and work in peace..."
"...Really, have you come to see me now? I haven't come to see me for so long, I thought you disappeared..."
"Of course, I, and we, are all here for this. After joining us, we will open the portal to another dimension, and then return to our hometown, to that happy land..."
The voice of this imitated creature is becoming more and more divine, and it is getting closer and closer to the leader. It is only a little bit close to melting this stubborn guy into the light of another dimension.
But when his hand was about to touch the leader, the expression of the supreme leader of Sigurius suddenly turned cold. Everything before seemed to be an illusion.
"...from a different dimension? Or high-dimensional? And... a portal?" He muttered to himself, and pressed the button in his hand.
The flames of the explosion flickered, and the whole building trembled. The creature in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then his entire expression became distorted, revealing the glowing hollow body hidden under the shell.
The bomb in the "Leader's Mansion" was originally intended to be the final device for jade fragmentation after the failure of the battle with the Chien Empire.
Although they were victorious, the bomb here was never defused under his orders, and he wanted to remember this moment.
I thought this would be a commemoration of their glorious victory, and there would never be a day of activation, but now it unexpectedly has an effect.
And in the calm expression of this leader, there was finally a hint of relief.
He is also very tired, now it is time to reunite with his loved ones.
A few days later, the entire galaxy was in turmoil.
Large-scale rebellions have occurred in almost every civilization, and countless special life forms of unknown origin have controlled all of this.
They began to attack the whole galaxy, but this is just their appearance, they seem to be preparing a big plan, and then leave this universe.
However, there are also some civilizations that have no problems.
Needless to say, the lost empire, in addition, all omnic and hive civilizations have not penetrated.
The Turbulent First Empire and the Turbulent Second Empire also have their own methods to check the infiltrators, and have built themselves into an iron barrel early.
In addition to these civilizations, there are Segulius and a few civilizations. With the help of some victims, they managed to minimize the impact of infiltration, and they were the first to sound the war horn.
