"Reservation", this is a special planet located in the territory of "Observer".
This used to be an "indigenous creature protection center", and all the people living on it were undeveloped intelligent creatures found by "observers".
This planet would have given birth to new intelligent creatures under the intervention of the "observer", but at some point, the "observer" cleared out these ignorant species, and put the real intelligent creatures on the planet. above.
Of course, this matter is an internal story of the "observer". For the galaxy, no civilization knows that they still have a special "reservation" planet.
As for what the "observer" is going to do here...
"...Then, the access to the 'Virtual Universe' has already been done, right?"
“As always, we’ve done things like this many times and don’t miss out on this low end.”
Two indigenous observers of the "Observer" talked about what their civilization will do on the "reservation" planet this time.
They will hypnotize tens of billions of indigenous people as before, and then let them directly access the virtual world from their slumber to conduct a large-scale "sociological experiment".
"Speaking of which, is this the first time we have conducted this experiment?"
“…so long that we have forgotten when it started. But judging by the recent frequency, the leaders may have found their way…”
"Really?" A native observer was very happy, he felt that he was finally freed from this boring observation process.
"But... why are more and more natives dying in the virtual world? Did the leaders discover something from it?"
"I don't know, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the pace of experiments is accelerating, and the results may be in the not-too-distant future."
"..."
At the end of the conversation, another indigenous observer asked as if remembering something:
"It seems that the large-scale social experiments conducted in various parts of the galaxy are coming to an end? I found that more and more observers have recently returned to their parent star..."
"... Judging from the recent situation, it should be. Coupled with the more and more frequent experiments in the 'reserve', I think the secret of the 'Apocalypse' has been noticed by the leaders."
"Is that so? It seems that we imitated the past behavior of the "Apocalypse" and intervened in the process of indigenous civilization. It is indeed the right choice!"
"But what is the secret? It's really curious..."
The conversation of the indigenous observers ends with the start of the "virtual universe". They need to monitor the behavior of a certain area of indigenous people in the instrument, and give hints at the right time, so that those indigenous people will not wake up directly from the virtual world.
This is what they have been doing all the time, observing a group of "dreaming" aborigines, and then discovering their secrets.
Galaxy civilizations all know that "observers" are "watching" the entire galaxy, but no one knows what they are looking at.
It may be monitoring the operation of the entire galaxy, or it may be recording data from certain places.
This has always been a mystery that only belongs to the "observer". In the popular interstellar "Hundred Unsolved Mysteries of the Galaxy", there is a question like "why the 'observer' is always 'seeing'".
One of the guesses is that they may be observing the ups and downs of each civilization, and at the same time expecting that some civilization will make the same discovery as them.
But there are too few people who agree with this kind of speculation, because this is using a new problem to cover up the old problem—what did the "observer" find?
This would open up new questions, so until the question has a result, this guess will only be considered unconvincing.
So the galaxy is still operating normally, and there is no abnormality caused by the disappearance of a group of indigenous people.
But the galaxy is so big, what they're doing is looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even if something bad happened to the aborigines, the traces will soon disappear with the passage of time, and they will disappear completely from now on.
However, the planetary bomb that directly destroyed an indigenous civilization has been stuck in the hearts of the Pyro Alliance like a spike, making them very uncomfortable.
"...I hope it's just a misunderstanding..." Everyone in the Tinder Alliance thought so from the bottom of their hearts.
They don’t want to see the collapse of their role model, but the pursuit of this matter cannot be uncovered. Only when they see the truth with their own eyes, they will stop their search.
And this truth, along with the progress of the "virtual universe" experiment, will soon be revealed.
"—Alert! The consciousness of a large number of indigenous creatures has fluctuated!"
The ear-piercing siren made the observers monitoring this sociological experiment start to compare various data, and soon discovered the abnormality.
Relevant information was quickly passed to the upper echelon of the "Observer", known to those who lead civilization forward.
"...The effect this time seems to be exceptionally good. These indigenous creatures have realized that they are trapped in the 'virtual universe' and are trying to escape from that place."
"And from a quantitative point of view, it has accounted for at least 95% of the population, although some people still don't believe that they are in the 'virtual universe'..."
“…But in order to shake the ‘virtual world’, those few individuals have been controlled, and they are preparing to ‘leave’ together at a unified time.”
The discussion went on quietly, and finally someone who looked like the supreme leader asked:
"...so, what is their method?"
"As usual, mass suicide. They think this will lead to the collapse of the 'virtual universe', which will force them to escape from this place,"
"But in fact, because they are too deeply connected to the 'virtual universe', when their consciousness dies in the 'virtual universe', their real bodies will also die together..."
Such a result made all the high-level "observers" present fall into silence. They first looked at each other, and finally all their eyes focused on the leader.
"...enough experiments have proved the feasibility of this method, the only question now is—do you dare? Or, are you afraid?"
The words of the leader made the others chuckle, and their eyes didn't change at all, as if they had expected this.
"...This is what we have been pursuing for a long time. Now that we have found the result, how can we be afraid? 'Pioneers' are not afraid of such things."
"As long as you can see the 'truth of the world', what is there to be afraid of? We believe that the 'Apocalypse' must have discovered such a result and chose the same path as us."
"The only question now is not whether we dare, but whether other civilizations dare. Will they believe this theory that sounds ridiculous?"
Finally, the conversation turned to the leader.
Being stared at by everyone, he just smiled and said calmly:
“…they may not understand, but they must obey.”
In the flash of the figure, the secret meeting was over, and everyone returned to their positions, ready to carry out their tasks.
And a mysterious orb as the background of the rally is quietly kept in the instrument.
If someone from the Pyro Alliance is here, they will definitely recognize what this kind of ball is, because it looks very similar to that kind of "wishing machine", and it seems to be the same item as the "prototype machine".
It is composed of some unknown dense material, and even the "observer" has not been able to analyze its manufacturing method.
But with the help of this mysterious sphere discovered long ago, they finally confirmed the "truth" of this world.
