  Chapter 145 Astropath

After that, Duanmuhuai chatted with Dardanelle for a while, and as Duanmuhuai expected, Dardanelle's merchant ship came from the Holy City, so Duanmuhuai also asked him about the Guardian The current state of the galaxy.

   It's no wonder that Duanmuhuai is so cautious. In fact, the current Milky Way is completely chaotic.

  Basically speaking, after the end of the human empire, the remaining human civilization is divided into two types, one is like the Yajin people, who still remember some of the history of the empire. There is another kind, just like the human beings on the planet that was invaded by demons before, they did not know where their ancestors were forgotten 80 years ago.

   More importantly, since there are very few human civilizations in the entire Milky Way galaxy capable of cross-galaxy operations, this has created such an embarrassing scene that makes people laugh and cry.

Human civilizations that remember the history of the empire basically think that they are the only human successors, representing the last glory of the empire—well, in fact, in the Milky Way, the glory of this empire has eight hundred if not one thousand, at least you are not the first .

Human civilizations that don’t remember the history of the empire, although they don’t know that there are other civilizations in the universe, but when you go to communicate with him, he will be very puzzled, why do you, an “alien”, grow up with you? Humans are exactly the same?

   Could there be some conspiracy in this?

  The civilization that has inherited the history of the empire is not much better—I thought I was the only crown prince, but you told me that I still have a hundred or eighty brothers and sisters competing with me for the throne?

  How to put it... from the player's point of view, this is very annoying. Especially when going to reclaim those "undeveloped star fields", the other party will not welcome the players, and may even express dissatisfaction or even hostility. Therefore, later on, if players want to contact other civilizations, the best way is to inquire clearly with these rogue traders who run around in the galaxy. It won't be like those indigenous civilizations that haven't even gone out of their own galaxy, full of delusions of persecution that "there are always troublesome people who want to harm me".

  Fortunately, according to Dardanelle, the guardian civilization is still relatively enlightened. Of course, there are troubles. They seem to have experienced a war before, but now the entire guardian civilization is still curled up in the galaxy. As for their combat effectiveness... well, it is quite average. After all, they have not even left their own galaxy, so the level of technology can be imagined.

  Anyway, at least the other party has some understanding of the situation in the Milky Way, and he doesn't hold too much hostility towards foreign civilizations...well, that's enough.

   It’s not that Duanmuhuai has never been in contact with the guardian civilization in the game, but that was in the middle of the game. One of the obvious features of "Xinghai OL" is that all changes are real-time. In other words, the order of the players has an impact.

  For example, if a player encounters a civilization first, and he is friendly to this civilization, then this civilization will also maintain a certain degree of goodwill towards other players who come here next.

  But if a player shows hostility or even does something bad to a civilization he meets for the first time, then this civilization will also hate the house and treat other players with the same attitude.

Therefore, the attitude of the forces that Duanmuhuai encountered in the game does not mean that they will be the same as in reality. After all, who knows how the first players in the game encountered these civilizations and dealt with them so that these civilizations produced their own. Perception changed?

   But now, at least Duanmuhuai got good news.

After the transaction was completed, Dardanelle left excitedly with the Holy Grail-class battleship. Before leaving, he also left his own communication channel, and said that if Duanmuhuai has anything to trade, he can contact him at any time. . Of course, considering that the human empire has collapsed, and the way of bartering is now adopted, a rogue like Dardanelle is still very worth making friends with.

   And Duanmuhuai also returned to the mothership with his spoils, although generally speaking, judges have the habit of keeping their spoils. But for players, this kind of thing is not as convenient as directly converting it into building points.

  So Duanmuhuai's spoils for this gang-jumping battle are 3 building points and - a dirty kid.

   "Go and wash this brat clean."

  Duanmu Huai handed the little guy in his hand to the maid doll next to him, and gave some casual instructions, and the latter nodded in agreement, and took the unconscious kid to the bathroom.

  After a series of scrubbing, disinfection, cleaning and other work, the imp who was cleaned up again appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

   This is a little girl with blond hair, she looks about ten years old, her eyes are covered with cloth strips, and she is wearing a simple coat.

   "Hi, hello, dear sir..."

   Standing in front of Duanmu Huai, the girl was obviously a little nervous, but luckily she couldn't see... otherwise she would have passed out long ago.

But for Duanmu Huai, what he was more curious about was the language used by this girl—the language she used had a certain amount of High Gothic mixed in, which indicated that this girl was likely to be born in a very noble soul. Among the capable family. After all, the average person can't learn this technical language.

   "Are you an astropath?"

"Yes……"

   "What's wrong with your eyes???"

   Duanmuhuai stared at the girl's blindfolded cloth, and asked curiously, and the latter became excited when he heard his question.

   "This, this is to obtain God's guidance, so my father made me lose my eyes. Only in this way can I obtain a higher level of enlightenment..."

"Aha………"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai silently rolled his eyes. Indeed, most of the astropaths are basically blind, but it is not because they are blind that they have powerful psychic powers. On the contrary, these astropaths are because they are blind During training, they will perform a ritual called Soul Binding Ceremony, which is to use the pure burning of the Lord of Humanity to purify the stains on the psyker's body and mind, reshape their nervous structure, and let Their will is more resistant to the temptations of Chaos. And only after this ceremony can one become a qualified astropath.

   And because the Emperor's Power attacks neutral structures such as the optic nerve, most astropaths are blinded after undergoing the ritual.

  And now, listening to this girl, they think that blindness is the growth factor that can make a person become an astropath?

  You haven’t even been blessed and purified by the Emperor, so you just do this, isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?

  But it’s no wonder that the human empire has been completed for so many millennia, and the efficacy and process of those rituals in the past may have long been forgotten.

   "Since you are an astropath, I will let you continue your work on my ship."

   Duanmuhuai restrained his thinking and looked at the girl in front of him.

"However, I have to warn you that the subspace is more terrifying than you imagine, so I ask you to capture and transmit information from the subspace only with my permission. Do you understand? If you violate my order, then I guarantee that I will throw you out of this battleship in the next moment, and turn you into a corpse in the cold space."

   "Yes, yes, sir, I understand."

  Hearing what Duanmuhuai said, the girl nodded her head nervously.

"May I have your name?"

   "They all call me Hitomi, sir."

   "Okay, Hitomi, you can go down, I will have someone prepare the room for you."

  Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and soon another maid puppet came over and left the command room with Tong Tong.

   Until this time, An looked at Duanmuhuai angrily.

   "Mr. Knight, you were too fierce to that child just now."

   "Yes, Lord Knight, that child was captured by pirates just now, I think you should be more friendly to her... At least don't make her so scared..."

  Lorena also gave her own advice. Obviously, they were not used to seeing Duanmuhuai treat such a little girl so tyrannically.

   Looking at them, Duanmu Huai also shook his head.

   "I don't want to do it either, but I have to, because that kid is an astropath and has high potential."

   "Astropath?"

"To put it simply, she can sense messages from other worlds, including whispers from evil gods or demons. If she is not allowed to be careful, this child will become the devil's minions and accomplices at some point. "

   "Is there such a thing?"

  Ann was taken aback when she heard this, while Lorena frowned.

   "Hoo... Hearing what Sir Knight said, I also remembered that some people seem to be able to easily feel the existence of demons and their words... Could it be that child is one of them, if so..."

   "Is there anything you can do, Lorena?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Lorena and asked curiously. After all, in this world, he knew that there were not many ways to keep the astropaths from being polluted by chaos, and there was no way to use them at present. I don't know if Lorena There, is there any way.

   "I can go back to church and ask the archbishop for help."

  Lorena thought for a moment, then spoke.

   "Go ahead, if you can find a way to solve this problem, that's a good choice."

   "Yes, then, Sir Knight, I will take my leave first."

   After saying this, Lorena also hurriedly saluted, then went through the portal and returned to her world. And An Ze looked at the portal in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

   "I didn't expect that there is really everything in this world."

   "When you go to many places, you will know that there is no shortage of all kinds of strange things."

  Duanmuhuai shook his head and sat back on the chair. Of course, he didn't forget to send a torture puppet lurking in Tong's room to watch her. After all, Duanmu Huai had already heard about it from the head of the Star Bandit, and the reason why he tied the little girl next to his chair was because the little girl could always point out where and what was there like a prophet. This is also the reason why he was able to successfully catch the Risk Assessment to launch an attack, and it is obvious that Hitomi may have communicated with Warp and Chaos.

   I don’t know whether it’s her or something else that is in this little girl’s body now.

   But anyway, it's better to be careful.

  After that, the battleship also followed the route of the star map obtained from Dardanelle, and headed towards the galaxy where the Guardian civilization is located. After two days of sailing, Duanmuhuai's battleship finally arrived at the Guardian galaxy.

   "What shall we do next, Mister Knight?"

  At this moment, An also moved closer to Duanmuhuai, impatiently looking at the galaxy in front of him, while Duanmuhuai touched the little head of Augis next to him, and then looked forward.

   "In short, we are guests from afar, so let's say hello to them first... Mia, send a message."

   "Okay~~Master."

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Mia replied in her characteristic light tone, and then started the communication.

   "This is the Judgment Chamber battleship Pink Bunny, please answer if you hear it... We are Pink Bunny..."

   "Woo..."

  Listening to Mia's chatty tone, Duanmu Huai and Augis hadn't reacted yet, but Ann, Guleya and Lorena's faces were flushed.

   "Mr. Knight, why do you have to call him this name!"

   "Isn't there a better name?"

   "Isn't that nice?"

  Facing the complaints from An and other girls, Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes.

   "The name is not directly proportional to the combat power, and it's not because your name sounds good, the power must be great. The pink bunny is so awesome. Look at the name alone, who would dare to hit us?"

"Well…………"

   Facing Duanmu Huai's confident answer, An was at a loss for words.

   "Report to the master, the other party did not respond, it seems that the communication system has failed..."

   But at this moment, Mia repaid Duanmu Huai.

   "Communication failure?"

  Hearing Mia's return, Duanmu Huai frowned. Generally speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't happen. Could it be that the guardian civilization is in some trouble?

"I can feel it……"

At this moment, Tong, who had been standing in front of the window, suddenly said, her hands were tightly holding a pendant hanging around her neck - that was what Lorena got from the archbishop before, to ward off evil spirits And the holy relics that banish demons. According to Lorena, this can protect Hitomi's soul from being defiled and corrupted by demons.

   Of course, only God knows how useful it is.

  Hearing what Tong said, Duanmu Huai looked at her.

   "What did you feel?"

   "Anger... Hate... Seething rage... I can feel it, right up ahead... Something... wants to destroy everything..."

"oh?"

  Hearing Tong's answer, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed a cold light.

   "Then, let's go and see."
