  2189: The Catastrophic Event Years Ago

"Who... who are you?" Dr. Yaco-Vesti was stunned.

"What happened?" A young man pushed the door open, but was also immediately subdued by the ghost agent.

"Just a little brat. Not worth anything. He should not be involved in the research." A ghost agent said coldly.

Seeing the ghost agent about to pull the trigger of the pistol, Dr. Yaco-Vesti shouted, "Please don't! He is my son! I will cooperate with whatever you want to do... just please don't hurt us!"

"Very good, be obedient, then there will be no problem. Gather all the researchers together. If you miss one, then you may only be able to see your son for the last time in your life." The ghost agent said coldly.

Dr. Yaco-Vesti had no choice but to do as he was told.

Due to financial constraints, there were only eight researchers on their project. They were all quickly called over and then completely controlled by several ghost agents in the conference room.

"You...what do you want to do? We are just an archaeological team, and our project has nothing to do with military use." said Yaco Vesti.

"Tell me everything about the Mind Harp." The Ghost Agent said coldly.

"Mind Harp?" Yaco-Vesti's mind was full of question marks. He had never heard of this thing.

"Don't play tricks on me. If you think you can get away with it this way, you might regret it." The ghost agent grabbed Yako's son and threw him to the ground.

His son was tall and strong, but the ghost agent manipulated him as easily as a chicken.

The pistol was pressed against the back of the young man's head again.

"No! We really don't know what the Mind Harp is! If you don't believe me, you can check all our information right now. I swear! If you can tell me what that thing is, I will be happy to tell you everything I know!" Yaco-Vesti raised his hands and said loudly.

The ghost agent turned his head and looked at him. The scarlet tactical eyepiece on the full-coverage helmet looked like a pair of evil spirit's eyes, making people feel extremely scared from the bottom of their hearts.

From Yako's shallow consciousness, the ghost agent found that he did not seem to be lying, so he raised his wrist and called up a computer-generated picture in the universal tool. It showed a strange-shaped object. This object had a polygonal base with a fork-shaped metal structure on it. Moreover, this metal structure was constantly changing, sometimes U-shaped, sometimes trident-shaped, and sometimes octagonal-shaped. It was impossible to understand the principle of this change.

This dynamic picture was synthesized by computer based on the description of the old Korok man.

"Is this... the Mind Harp?" Dr. Yaco-Vesti looked at the dynamic picture in confusion.

"The energy explosion a hundred years ago originated from this thing. At that time, it was placed on top of a pyramid on Planet No. 5." said the Ghost Agent.

Yaco-Vesti stood up suddenly and yelled, "What did you say! This thing is the truth about the energy explosion a hundred years ago!!!"

He just stood up and was pushed back to sit down, but he still said excitedly: "Is this the Mind Harp? We have been searching for the truth for a hundred years!! Please, please let me see this thing! I will give you whatever you want! Anything!" "The Mind Harp is in a place where you can't reach it now. And this thing is all I can give you now. What you need to do is tell me how to activate the Mind Harp." The Ghost Agent said coldly.

"You just give us a picture and let us figure out how to activate it? That's impossible!" another scholar exclaimed.

"If you think it's impossible, then you are worthless." The ghost craftsman pointed his pistol at his forehead.

"Wait a minute! Yes! Yes!" Yaco-Vesti said loudly, "We can try! Just please don't hurt us! This Mind Harp is also crucial to our research. We will help you no matter what!"

Agent Ghost nodded and said coldly, "Then do it as soon as possible. I will only give you three days at most."

"Let's go to Rafa 5! That's what we were just talking about!" said Yako.

"Act immediately." The ghost agent picked him up.

All the scholars here were captured in a stealth spaceship of the Ghost Agent. They found that in addition to the crew members, there were more than a dozen archaeologists, who seemed to be here for the Saru civilization.

After handing Dr. Yako and the others over to the scholars of the Principality of Dawn, the Ghost Agent left one person to guard the door, and the others returned to the planet to destroy surveillance, cut off communications, and collect intelligence.

Dr. Yako began to tell the scholars of the Principality of Dawn about his research. "According to our research, the Salu people are a very introverted race, and they are very likely to have strong telepathic abilities, but they are rarely aggressive. We continue to study the remains left by the Salu people, which contain many murals and records. According to these messages, they claim that they were created by a starfish-shaped creator about a million years ago."

"At the same time, in the records of the Salu people, there are many references to the 'Gods', as if they once lived with the Gods. The technology of the Salu people was very advanced. Although they originated from a remote planet like the East, they once expanded their sphere of influence to the core planet Aargau. However, Aargau at that time was far from being the financial center it is today. It was just a barren planet full of dangerous primitive creatures. But even if calculated in this way, the area of ​​rule of the Salu people was at least a quarter of the Milky Way!"

"The biggest doubt lies in a major event recorded by the Salu people, an event that happened 100,000 years ago." Dr. Yaco said seriously, "The Salu people believed that they were about to face a crisis of genocide at that time. They did not say what this crisis was, but the entire tribe treated this crisis as the most important thing to deal with, and they believed that this matter was related to the gods."

The scientists from the Principality of Dawn all frowned. A paleontologist pondered, "The great catastrophe a hundred thousand years ago? Why do I seem to have heard of this thing..."

Dr. Yako reminded: "No need to listen... We have consulted countless data, and there is only one race that can be linked to this time - the Kilik people!"

The paleontologist's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "That's right! The Kilik Swarm!! The Kilik Swarm also gradually degenerated into a group of insects without intelligence starting from 100,000 years ago!! The whole degeneration process lasted for tens of thousands of years! In tens of thousands of years, even the Kilik people who once created a glorious civilization could not stop the coming of destruction!"

Dr. Yaco said in a deep voice: "We have just come to an astonishing conclusion today... We have been studying the writing of the Salu people. We only knew the meaning of these words before, but in recent years, we have been bored and started to explore the pronunciation of these words. We found that many syllables in them cannot be pronounced by human vocal organs. However... the Toka people living on Planet No. 5 can pronounce all the syllables of the Salu language perfectly!"

The geneticist just now added: "The Toka people are a humanoid race that has been living on Planet Five. They are now at most in the Neolithic Age and are basically a group of primitive people."

"You mean, the Toka people may be the descendants of the Salu people?" asked the paleontologist from the Principality of Dawn.

"I think it's more than that. If we refer to the ending of the Kilik Swarm, we can even think that the Toka people are the Saru people whose intelligence has degenerated!" Dr. Yako said loudly.
