Interstellar World: Arc 8.17

On the aircraft, Ghar set the trajectory and autopilot before stepping down from the pilot's seat.

"It's strange. Why did these guys stay on this desolate Alpha planet for three or four days? " Bai Lixin wondered as he took a sip of his drink.

"Who knows, maybe they're stupid. Believing that we from Garbage planet are easy pickings, kidnapping people and resting here leisurely." Graverson was unfazed as he took a big gulp and casually stroked Rubbish's smooth head.

Rubbish's baked body felt so much better in his hands than it had before.

"No, it doesn't make sense. Even if they were resting, there was no need for them to do it in such a deserted area. What kind of rest is that? Could it be that the aircraft malfunctioned? " Bai Lixin speculated.

Ghar, who was coming towards them, paused slightly at Bai Lixin's speculation, then came over at his usual even speed, "Master, the course is set. The aircraft is travelling at one light year per hour. Since Helium is far away from us, it will take four days to arrive."

"Hey, this aircraft can actually reach 1 light year per hour. My craft can only do 0.07 light years." Graverson said, surprised.

"It's not that this aircraft is fast, it's that yours is too worn out." Bai Lixin chuckled, "I wonder how many years it would take for you to get a new aircraft if you were to sell scraps every day. But that aircraft of yours has some perseverance. It has not yet broken down after all these years."

"It depends on who's piloting it. Can it break down that easily in my hands?"

Rubbish nodded cheerfully, "Master is correct. I was to be sent to the junkyard because I was of no more use, but master bought me and I have been of use since then. "

There were still four days to go before they could reach planet Helium and meet Manskoo.

It should have been a happy event, but Bai Lixin could not bring his spirits up.

[S419M], Bai Lixin called out in his mind.

[Yes, Lord Host.]

[Re-scan the souls of every creature and every corner of the planet, and tell me who has the highest soul and physical attributes]. Bai Lixin thought about it, and decided to verify it once more.

[As ordered, Lord Host. Ding! The scanning begins! Ding, the scan is complete.]

[Lord host, the highest soul and body attribute still belongs to Manskoo, who has an S-ranked soul attribute and an A-ranked body attribute.]

Bai Lixin was silent for a long time and nodded: [Okay, got it. Let's go and verify if Manskoo is Dijia or not.]

Outside the aircraft, there was a dead silence. The meteorites in the interstellar were silent as if they were set in the darkness. But they were in fact moving slowly, only their movements did not follow a pattern and had no destination to speak of.

Bai Lixin lay in the resting room, staring into the darkness, lost in thought.

What if Manskoo was not his lover, as Ghar guessed?

And if he was not, then where was his lover? Or was he not in this world?

What stage has the robot riot on Helium reached?

Has Sano committed suicide?

[S419M], Bai Lixin felt really worried about the plot this time. In the previous worlds, he had always gone with the flow, but he now had so many questions. [What stage has the plot progressed to now?]

[Lord host, the robot army is still imprisoning humans and things seem to be making no progress. Although Manskoo has returned to Helium, he can only act in secret since he is a banished person.] S419M paused and said hesitantly, [Lord Host, I cannot locate Sano's geographical location.]

[You can't locate it?] Bai Lixin frowned slightly. He had a feeling that something had changed on Helium.

As Bai Lixin pondered, a knock sounded at the door.

The knock was soft and slow, but it was enough to get his attention. He pulled his thoughts from the depths of his mind and said, "Come in, Ghar."

The door was gently pushed open and Ghar came in with a cup of hot milk in his hand, "Master, have a glass of milk."

"Thank you," Bai Lixin said as he rose from his chair and took the milk from Ghar. "We are about to arrive on Helium soon. Do you have any psychological changes?"

"Master," Ghar shook his head, "I don't care much for Helium; it's just another place to land. But I am worried about you. Helium is in the midst of a robot uprising, and I am afraid my master will be in danger. So please stay with me at all times when we get there. That way, I can protect you properly. "

Bai Lixin was stunned and smiled, "Okay, I will."

After four days of travel, they finally caught sight of the Helium from afar.

The planet was covered in advanced buildings and radar systems due to the rapid development of technology on the planet. Through his own radar jamming, Ghar slowly docked the aircraft in a deserted square.

The group was stunned at the sight of the high-tech buildings that were surrounded by every inch of high technology.

A place with human buildings but no sign of humanity was more frightening than the wilderness.

The city was empty and devoid of life.

"Where have all the people gone?" Graverson wondered. He knew the robot army was revolting, but he didn't expect the situation to be this dire.

"This is a safe area. I just connected to the network of droid armies on Helium, and it seems that the humans are all under their watch in the middle of the central square. " Ghar paused and said, "But don't worry, the droids watching over them used to be home service droids. They are proficient in things like laundry and cooking, so, although the humans are restricted in their freedom and under immense mental stress, they have not suffered much damage physically."

"Ghar, since you can connect to the network of the robot army, there must be a leader, right? Who is the leader of these robots? "

With Sano missing, who is behind this uprising now?

"Okay, I'll try to find out." Ghar nodded, his eyes blinking as he began to search.

After about a minute, Ghar said, "I've found it. The droid is in the main control room over the central plaza. It is a butler droid for a human named Sano, now calling himself 'Zeus'."

"Zeus?" Bai Lixin searched the world's memories for a "Zeus," but there was nothing. Did this robot appear out of nowhere? Was his appearance related to Sano's disappearance? And what is his role in this plot?

[S419M, are you there?] Bai Lixin called out to S419M in his mind, but he received no response at all. His mind was empty of the A.I.

[S419M?] He called out several more times in quick succession, but there was never a reply.

Bai Lixin frowned, and a terrible suspicion suddenly surfaced in his heart.

When the system encounters a false god, it will go into hibernation for self-preservation, cutting off its connection to him, which is exactly what is happening now.

Was there a false god on Helium?

Who is the false god? Was it Sano, who had suddenly disappeared? Or was it someone else?

Bai Lixin was clueless at the moment. He shook his somewhat pained head and said helplessly, "Ghar, can you find out where Dr. Manskoo is? I'd like to meet him. "

"Yes, I can connect to Droid 3. Once we find 3, we can find Dr. Manskoo. " Ghar sensed Bai Lixin's discomfort and thoughtfully enveloped him in his arms. He gently massages his temples with warm fingertips.

At the same time, his system was searching for the whereabouts of Droid 3.

Finding Droid 3 was obviously not easy, and Bai Lixin waited a full five minutes before he heard Ghar say, "Found him. Droid 3 is underground, not far from the central square. There is a secret institute, and Dr. Manskoo is there too."

Bai Lixin nodded, "Okay, let's go there first." Since he had no clues, he just had to draw them out.

Graverson was also at a loss. He had come here because Helium was the most prosperous planet in this galaxy. People yearned to come and live on Helium, but it was impossible because of its strict control rules. So people could only come to visit.

And it became fashionable to visit Helium.

Graverson had always wanted to see what the most prosperous planet would look like. He had envisioned Helium countless times, but he never imagined it could look like this.

Is this the most advanced planet?

It was devastated and dead. A planet like this is not even half as good as his garbage planet.

Is a hyper-technological civilization a step forward in history or a degradation of humanity?

If Helium was truly the most prosperous and scientific planet, how could it have fallen to such a state?

Bai Lixin looked up at the dim sky before saying, "Graverson, Rubbish; Ghar and I are going to move towards the central square." You can leave in the aircraft if you regret coming, and the aircraft can be yours. " Bai Lixin held the lightsabre Thor in his hand and looked at Graverson seriously.

Graverson frowned, "What do you mean by that? I, Graverson, am the overlord of the Garbage Planet. Did I come to Helium only to be driven away by this empty high-tech building? Since we came together, let's move forward together. I'm a little more interested in the droid army than I am afraid. "

Bai Lixin nodded, "In that case, let us set off. Bring the necessary weapons with you. I am sure we will need them afterwards. "

Graverson nodded and took two laser guns and the canon off the ship. He carried the two laser guns on one side of his own shoulder and handed the cannon to Rubbish. "Take it, although you can't hurt humans, you can always fight back if a robot hurts you."

Rubbish cocked his head, but instead of retorting and being cute this time, he took the cannon and hugged it in his arms. "Yes, master."

"Master, you actually don't need to be so nervous and alert. I have completely shielded the four of us from signals. Even if we walk past the robots, they won't find us. Just follow me and boldly walk forward. "

Bai Lixin:"… "

Graverson: "…"

Rubbish: "…"

Shouldn't this kind of thing be said in advance at the beginning?!
