Death Compensation

"Have you encountered such a 'weird' incident before?" Lu Bai asked.

Deng Fa was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded: "I have indeed encountered it. The universe and starry sky are so big, there are always some unknown things."

"People have no way to explain it with science and technology for the time being, they can only sum up empirical rules, and then deal with these things with luck."

"There are even quite a few people who like to investigate this matter, and organize it into a school called Metaphysics of the Starry Sky."

As time passed, Lu Bai and the others also exchanged some strange things about the starry sky.

Suddenly, the originally stable and bright light flickered slightly, and everyone felt a stone in their hearts in an instant.

Under this rock, Yu Hui made a quick move, immediately turned off the light, then lay on the 'bed', and closed the barn door.

That's right, the so-called beds are actually shuttle-shaped sleeping compartments.

After entering, you can also adjust the temperature, humidity, and constant state of the air in the warehouse, etc.

As the lights were turned off, everything became quiet again.

It was so quiet that it seemed as if you could hear the sound of some machines in the space station.

A kind of profound terror swept people's hearts at this time.

In this boundless starry sky, a solitary space station floats on the edge of the star system, and the only escape ship that can leave is still in a scrapped state.

And knowing that this space station has a weird situation, a force that pierces people's hearts quickly emerged.

Under such oppression, no one can sleep.

Not long after, they heard footsteps in the passage outside the door.

The footsteps can't tell the distance, and it will even give people a feeling that he is hovering at the door of your room.

Judging by the sound of footsteps, there is no way to clearly judge what kind of existence the other party is.

Lu Bai thought for a while, no longer cared about the footsteps, suppressed his inner curiosity, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Others are not as bold as Lu Bai, and they can still sleep under such circumstances.

In room eight, five slaves are in it.

They dared not sleep, listened carefully to the wandering of the footsteps, and then heard the disappearance of the footsteps.

Everything seemed to be quiet, and hearing returned to normal at this moment, and the sound of the space station's machine running came into my ears again.

One of the slaves was lying in his dormant cabin, listening carefully to everything around him.

He touched the three-piece slave suit on his body and had some ideas in his mind.

He was one of the slaves Deng sent to Lu Bo, and the desire for freedom never disappeared from his heart.

He saw a lot of tools in a corner of the space station today.

There are some tools in it that he knows, and there is a high probability that they can help him unlock the controller on his body.

As long as he unlocked the controller, he could open the hatch of the space station and fly directly across the starry sky to the exit door.

In less than an hour, he will be free.

Of course, there is a great risk in doing so, after all, there are all kinds of weirdness in this scene.

But this is just an obstacle to his pursuit of freedom, which he always has to overcome.

He waited for a long time in the dark room, and there seemed to be no change in the outside world.

The slave suddenly felt something was wrong.

He also has four roommates, and he found that these four roommates seemed to have no movement.

This is not quite right, he is sure that he is not the only one with small thoughts.

Spaceship repairs will take at least a few days.

His plan is to slowly test these roommates these days to ensure that there are no such slavish people among them.

At that time, if everyone can, then pursue freedom together.

However now something seems to be going wrong.

Feeling trembling in his heart, he couldn't help turning around and looking at a sleeping cabin next to him.

Because of his racial talent, darkness doesn't stop him from seeing.

In the darkness, there seemed to be no one in the roommate's dormant cabin not far away.

He looked to the other side again, and it was the same, there was no one there.

A kind of panic disturbed his heart, he quickly lay down, closed his eyes, and knew in his heart that something strange must have come to the door.

He still wants to be free, get rid of his slave status, and leave here to find his wife and children who were also sold as slaves. He absolutely cannot die here.

With this belief, the sense of crisis in the slave's heart is getting heavier and heavier.

"If you continue to lie here, something will definitely go wrong, you can't sit still!" With this thought in mind, he suddenly opened his hibernation compartment.

Then he jumped out of it, and his dark vision allowed him to clearly observe the whole picture of the room.

"Others are in the dormant compartment..." The scene he observed made his heart feel cold.

Lying in it before, the sight of no one in the dormant cabin was like a dream.

Before he could think about it further, there was a knocking sound suddenly.

Instinctively looked up to the observation window, only to see a black shadow sticking there.

——

The next day, after eight hours of 'darkness', the planets moved away from the star.

Everyone came out of the room.

Then, not surprisingly, there were fewer people.

There were originally fifty people, but now there are only forty-three people left.

Seven people went missing last night.

Five of them came from one room—room ten.

There are two left, one is Room 9 and the other is Room 8.

According to the remaining people in rooms eight and nine.

Last night, those who disappeared among them all came out of the dormant cabin suddenly in the middle of the night, then opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

They were all frightened at the time, and no one dared to stop it.

This is the final result.

Afterwards, except for those who were going to repair the spaceship, everyone else came to Room 10.

All five people here are missing.

Something must have happened in this room last night.

In the room, only five rest cabins could be seen being opened.

There was even someone's personal belongings left behind.

Lu Bai came to the observation window and carefully looked at the starry sky outside the window.

The starlight of the stars penetrated the dark universe and illuminated everything.

"There's something on it." Lu Bai's voice made many people focus on it.

A slug-like race with several protruding eyes. He approached the observation window and said, "Indeed, there was something lying on it outside the observation window, leaving traces."

This situation immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"So the danger has always been outside the space station?"

"That makes sense." Woolen nodded: "Above the regulations, let us not leave the space station without protection."

"Maybe it's because that thing is actually wandering outside."

"And his ability is suppressed by natural light. With natural light, it can't attack us through the space station."

"Once the natural light disappears, he can affect us from outside the space station..."

This explanation is reasonable, but there is no way to accurately explain the footsteps in the aisle and the occasional knock on the door last night.

"Last night, it is very likely that the people in this room discovered something outside the window and were then affected."

"It may be a mind-controlling ability." Another person speculated in this way.

"Is it possible that this guy is cleaning up the people in the space station in order, like some kind of ritual." Suddenly, a short man said so.

At this time, he was pulling a bone charm hanging around his neck, and while doing something like praying, he retreated from the room.

"I asked, it will take at least seven days to repair the spaceship."

"And for these seven days, people who disappear in one room every day."

"Then the final number of people is exactly the same as the limited capacity on the spacecraft."

"This must be..."

"Enough!" The wool interrupted the dwarf's 'guess' at this moment: "This is just an isolated evidence, and it can't explain anything."

"I'm more inclined that the people in this room did something they shouldn't have done last night."

"Everyone, take advantage of the daytime to search this space station more to see if there is any gain."

Maoxian knew in his heart that if he guessed in the direction of this metaphysics, then the whole team might fall apart.

After all, everyone has everyone's 'belief', especially in this cosmic starry sky, there are so many ethnic cultures.

One race's culture loves the number nine, but another race finds it problematic.

This cultural divide is the most likely source of disputes.

Not to mention that people in the interstellar era are not superstitious, the development of science and technology does not mean that people have developed.

In this regard, wool has a deep understanding.

The word ignorance is not an antonym of technology.

No matter how advanced the technology is, there are still people who are ignorant, and it is even more likely because of the ignorance of technology.

Wool can be regarded as decisive, but unfortunately, as long as someone brings up this kind of matter, it has already taken root in people's hearts.

In the following time, everyone checked every corner of the space station.

However, many clues were indeed found.

For example, in a corner, there is a sentence engraved in an unknown language.

It was the translator equipped on Dengfa's combat armor that was able to translate this sentence.

It's just that at this time, I hope that this sentence will not be translated.

[Don't trust those people, they are fake. 】

Such a sentence made the cracks in this improvised team even bigger.

Especially at this time, there are still a few slaves who have been issued to stand up.

They said to Dengfa: "Please release the slave control means on us."

"In this environment, everyone needs to work together."

The man looked at Dengfa, and then said, "It's not about becoming someone's slave."

"Do you know what you are doing?" Deng Fa was furious, every one of the tentacles on his head was wriggling.

Tentacles also sprouted from the slave.

The second update, 3000 words, good night everyone.
