ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX The man didn't notice it himself, but the
The man didn't notice it himself, but the more he spoke, the more his body became ethereal. By the time he had divulged everything he knew, only a faint trace of his form remained.
Yun Ru couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. This World was not as ordinary as it appeared on the surface. If the man's words were true, this World had already perished, and what they were seeing were not living beings. So, what were they?
She removed the man's helmet, and he quickly regained his composure. When he realized that his body had become nothing more than a faint shadow, panic overcame him.
"What have you done to me? How did I become like this?"
"I merely hypnotized you earlier to make you reveal some secrets. Your body transformed on its own."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately wilted.
"It seems like a punishment from the entity controlling this World from behind the scenes. A punishment for speaking the truth. Oh well, we were probably already dead to begin with; this is just dying once more."
At this moment, the man seemed to come to terms with his fate as he looked at Yun Ru. "At least this time, it proves that we can speak the truth. But as the price for revealing the truth, it might be our complete disappearance."
Yun Ru observed him and sensed that he had only a few minutes left before he would vanish entirely."Do you have any last words?"
For some reason, upon hearing these words, the man seemed to regain his spirit. It wasn't a flicker of hope but rather an understanding.
"You all are not... Haha, I understand now. I have no last words. Anyway, we are all dead. I just hope that you can restore this Planet to its original state. Even if it's a rundown place, this has always been our home."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's body disappeared.
"Sister, his body has completely vanished. I was searching for his information online just now, and I found that his data had also disappeared. It means that there is no record of his existence in this World."
Yun Ru raised her head and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I conducted a direct search earlier. The girl who had contact with Little Flower, her father, the man from earlier, doesn't actually exist. The girl's father has been replaced by another person."
Now Yun Ru understood. The entity behind this World had immediately substituted another individual for the man's identity after his disappearance.
"As expected, this World is not real. However, I'm becoming increasingly intrigued by the entity behind it. The rules of this World seem not to apply to us living beings. I'll need to get in touch with Li Tong."
The middle-aged man not only disclosed these secrets to her but also revealed information about the Celestial Path device. In this World, though, it was not known by that name. The device was called the "Star Exploration Hall."
This Star Exploration Hall was the foundation upon which they could rise. They had learned many of their technologies from inside the Star Exploration Hall. Only the nine of them knew the location of the Star Exploration Hall.
"Chief Yun, have you made any discoveries?" Li Tong eagerly asked when she saw Yun Ru initiate contact.
"I've found the location of the device."
Li Tong was taken aback. He hadn't expected Yun Ru to locate the device so quickly. In comparison, their progress was significantly lagging.
"In what location? We'll head there immediately."
The allocation of the device had been agreed upon from the beginning; both parties could research the technology inside it. Yun Ru didn't mind whether they joined or not.
In no time, Li Tong's spaceship flew over, and both spaceships arrived at a remote and desolate place. Surprisingly, it was a plateau area with thin oxygen, clear skies, and picturesque scenery.
"The device is right there." Yun Ru pointed to a mountain, which appeared entirely unremarkable from the surface, even when scanned by their spaceships.
If it weren't for the specific coordinates obtained from the man's mouth, Yun Ru wouldn't have believed that this place held the device.
"How do we enter? Do we have to blast our way in with the spaceship?" Li Tong asked.
If they had individuals with martial prowess, they wouldn't need such methods. However, their current spaceships were their most powerful assets.
"No need. That man gave me the password to enter. Only the nine of them know it, and there shouldn't be anyone else. At most, we'll encounter the remaining eight."
The group disembarked from the spaceship and approached the mountain. They were all clad in suits that could shield them from any scans. These suits were nothing special in the Fengbao Empire but were invaluable in this context.
Upon reaching a shadowy area, Yun Ru followed the instructions given by the man and made various rhythmic knocks on a wall. Shortly after, a crack appeared in a nearby wall, revealing a hidden passage.
The group quickly entered. They knew that when the door opened, the people inside would undoubtedly be alerted, so they needed to take control of them as quickly as possible.
As expected, the moment the door opened, the remaining eight people inside noticed.
"Is Old Nine back?"
"Wait, there are many footsteps. We've been discovered!"
"Has Old Nine betrayed us, or has someone detected this place?"
The eight individuals whispered to each other and then began to find hiding spots. To ensure this place remained secret, they had never told anyone else about it. It had always been managed by the nine of them.
This resulted in a lack of artificial defensive powers here, but it had its own defensive system.
Muzzles extended, shooting bullets at the incoming group. These ordinary bullets could be blocked by their suits, at least for a while. They had to rush in quickly!
Fengbao Empire's soldiers were cautious and hesitant, while Red Alert Empire's soldiers, shielded by psychic barriers, were completely unconcerned about getting hit. They charged forward one by one, taking Li Tong by surprise.
He hadn't expected Red Alert Empire to be ahead of Fengbao Empire in this aspect.
After some time, they managed to find the eight individuals. The oldest among them was an eighty-year-old man, while the youngest was only twenty.
Upon questioning, they learned that the Star Exploration Hall wasn't a fixed organization. When someone within it felt they could step down, they would recommend another person with the approval of the rest, who would join and take their place. The person leaving would have all their memories erased.
"Did Old Nine tell you the location of this place?" the elder asked.
"Odd, you all still remember him?" Yun Ru approached them with curiosity.
