Just when Qiao An activated the implant and gave himself the power to see the reality of the world, the empty stone house in front of him disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly found himself on an extremely huge stone platform.

.

This platform seems to be suspended in a void, the sky, and all around it are darkness, and that darkness is not familiar to the darkness of the night, but an indescribable deep darkness. Looking at it for a long time will produce a feeling of being sucked out of the soul.

General illusion of body.

On the platform, towering obelisks are erected. On the top of the obelisk is a crystal that emits a strong light. The light of these crystals illuminates the platform and is also placed like a barrier.

Darkness seeps around.

Under the obelisk, the stone ground was neatly divided into grids. A large metal table was placed in each grid. There were people lying on many tables, and some people had turned into corpses.

Some people are still alive, and there are some mechanical tentacle-like devices around the sitting postures, and those who control these devices are some weird monsters.

Qiao An soon discovered that these monsters were not the monster illusions he saw through the power of the implant, but real monsters.

When he saw these monsters, these monsters also noticed him, and they all looked at him in unison.

A strong sense of crisis arose in his mind, causing him to instinctively react to save himself, stop activating the implant, and exit the state where he could see the true nature of the world.

However, his movements were obviously a little slow. Not far from him, a tall monster with a tentacled head and a height of three meters had stretched out its long arms that could easily touch the ground and grabbed him.

, and before the power of his implant completely disappeared, a suction cup palm composed of more than a dozen slender fingers had grabbed his arm.

When the power of the implant was blocked, Qiao An instantly left the platform and returned to the stone house where the upper was stationed. However, it was not only him who came, but also the tentacle-head monster that grabbed his arm.

Just before the monster understood what was going on, Penny, who was waiting by the side, had recovered from the shock. She skillfully took out a bottle of special potion from the hanging bottle on her waist and shot it at the sudden

The monster that appeared threw it hard.

Not surprisingly, the potion bottle hit the monster, and the specially made thin glass of the bottle instantly shattered. The liquid inside immediately evaporated into mist when it encountered the outside air, filling the entire room.

Before the mist filled the room, Penny had already drank a bottle of antidote and quickly retreated to a safe place. As for Joan, she did not immediately step forward to save him from the monster's grasp.

When the mist filled the entire room, two dull sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground were heard. After the concentration of the mist reached its peak, it did not last long and quickly dissipated. Penny was able to see clearly what was inside the room.

Condition.

I saw that the huge monster had been stunned by the power of the potion and fell to the ground and fell asleep. Under it was Qiao An, who was also stunned.

Penny immediately stepped forward and dragged Joan out from under the monster. Then she took out a bottle of antidote and poured it into Joan's mouth. After seeing Joan wake up from her drowsiness, she immediately asked

: "What happened just now? Why did that monster suddenly appear next to you and grab your hand? Fortunately, I received special training from the teacher and was not scared, otherwise..."

"Monsters, yes, monsters! I saw a lot of monsters." Qiao An had not recovered from the side effects of the drug at first, and did not understand what was going on. He was like a person who was forcibly awakened from his sleep.

With a confused look on his face, he didn't remember what happened until he saw the monster in front of him, and said quickly: "There are still many monsters on that platform. This place is connected to that platform. They may come back here at any time. We

You can’t take it here, you have to leave immediately!”

Penny didn't quite understand what Qiao An said, but she knew that Qiao An's power could allow him to see things that ordinary people couldn't see, so she didn't ask Qiao An to explain in more detail. Instead, she followed Qiao An's suggestion and stood up.

Come and get ready to leave.

"Wait!" Joan stopped Penny, then pointed at the monster lying on the ground and said, "Take it back and show it to Mr. Leo."

Hearing Qiao An's suggestion, Penny nodded and directly used the object-controlling psychic technique to lift the monster from the ground. Although the interference power of the stone house also had some impact on psychic energy, it was not like the mental network.

It was so strong, but much weaker. Under this kind of interference, Penny was able to lift a three-meter-tall monster with ease through her psychic skills.

The two people quickly left the stone house, and randomly found an upper's carriage near the stone house. They stuffed the monster into the carriage, and without even pretending to be members of the upper, they jumped directly into the driver's seat of the carriage and drove the carriage.

, heading towards the outside of the Shoe Upper Fortress.

Compared with the process of entering the Upper Station, leaving the Upper Station is much easier. Those stationed outside the high wall of the Upper Station saw the carriage drive out of the station, and then saw the carriage clearly through the lanterns hung on the carriage.

The badge on the upper was put on, and the coachman on the carriage was easily let through without caring whether he was one of his own. Until the carriage completely drove out of the warning area arranged by the upper, it did not encounter any obstacles.

However, on their way out of the shantytown, they almost encountered a car accident, because there was only a narrow and winding road from the city into the shantytown. At a corner, a double-story shanty blocked Qiao An's eyes.

The line of sight, and the sight of the carriage on the other side of the road was also blocked. The two carriages happened to meet at the corner and collided directly.

Fortunately, Penny reacted in time and used her psychic skills to forcibly twist the direction of the two carriages, just enough to make the two carriages pass by each other and the car accident did not happen.

After passing by, the carriage stopped under the control of the driver. The people in the carriage got out in disheveled clothes and cursed loudly. Apparently, the violent movement of the carriage just now caused the people in the carriage to be hit and injured.

Got a little injury.

Joan did not stop the carriage, and still controlled the reins to keep the carriage moving forward. However, Penny, who was sitting next to her, turned around, stretched out her hand, and looked at the situation of the carriage behind the carriage, and she saw the man from behind.

The person who got off the carriage immediately retracted his head and whispered to Qiao An beside him: "It's Staff."

Hearing Penny's words, Qiao An immediately accelerated the speed of the car and drove away. He could guess that Staff must have gone to the upper, so what they did in the upper would soon be discovered, and they were going to

Before Staff's people started searching the city, they sent the monsters in the carriage to Leo, and then disposed of the carriage and all the traces they left behind.

Because it was already late at night, the road conditions in the city were very good, there were no people, and there were no carriages. The carriage driven by Qiao An quickly arrived at the city where Leo's apartment was located.

However, they did not go directly to Leo's apartment. Instead, they slowed down and drove the carriage into a dark alley behind Leo's apartment where no one passed and there were no lights.

When they reached the back of Leo's apartment, Penny did not stop. Instead, Penny used her psychic energy to lift the sleeping monster in the carriage and jumped off the moving carriage together. Then the monster moved to the shade of the trees on the roadside.

In this way, even if people in the houses on both sides of the road hear the sound of a carriage running over the stone slabs on the road, they will only think that a carriage is passing by, and will not feel that something is getting off the carriage.

While Joan went to deal with the carriage and eliminate traces, Penito held the monster and entered Leo's apartment through the back door. Without alerting the servants in the apartment, he went directly to the study where the light was still on and knocked outside the study.

Knock on the door.

"Come in!" Leo's voice came from inside the door.

Penny pushed the door open and walked in. She saw that Leo was not sleeping, but was sitting next to the stove, holding an academic version of the History of Continental Religion and flipping through it. Sylvia was not in the study, she should have gone to her

The underground intelligence organizations under control took care of things.

When Leo saw the monster behind Penny that was being lifted up with psychic energy, Leo showed a little surprise on his face, but the surprise didn't last long before it subsided. He stood up with him and motioned for Penny to put the monster on the ground.

On the floor, he stood next to the monster, looking up and down, with a look of memories in his eyes.

"Have you ever seen this kind of monster?" Penny asked speculatively after seeing the change in the expression on Leo's face.

"Monster?" Leo looked at the ignorant and fearless Penny, smiled, and said, "He is not a monster. He should be an intelligent race that is higher than humans in terms of life form."

"Smart race? It?" Penny pointed to the monster on the ground in surprise. Obviously, this was very different from the smart race in her impression.

Leo slowly said: "The name of his race is Nodahan, which means children of water in their own language. They live on a special ocean planet, and the entire planet has evolved a total of more than fifty different types.

An intelligent race, they eventually became the only one, and their race also evolved into a unique advanced civilization in the universe."

"Planet?" Penny had learned this word from Leo and knew what it meant, so she said with some surprise: "This monster comes from the starry sky civilization?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and did not continue to talk about the Nodahan people, but his mind quickly organized and recalled all the information about the Nodahan people.

As Leo said, the civilization created by the Nordahan people is a high-level civilization in the universe, which is not accessible to a medium civilization like the Earth Federation. What's more important is that the Nordahan people have already come into contact with other civilizations in the Earth Federation.

Alien civilizations have disappeared from the universe before. As for why the Nordahan civilization disappeared, there was no accurate answer until Leo died in the battle.

Although the civilization of the Nodahan people has disappeared, the products of the Nodahan people's civilization are still used by other civilizations in the universe, especially medium-sized civilizations like the Earth Federation that need to use water to change the climate of colonial stars.

The Nordahan people invented a planet modification device that can create an ocean on a desolate planet with suitable gravity, and then use the ocean to change the planet's environment and climate.

However, after the disappearance of the Nordahan civilization, no one understood the manufacturing principle of this device. In the end, other advanced civilizations produced a much less effective imitation. The Earth Federation once spent huge sums of money to obtain it from another country.

A more advanced intermediate civilization rented three of these planet transformation devices, and with these three devices, the Earth Federation saved hundreds of colonial planets whose environments were deteriorating and declining.

Therefore, the Earth Federation has been collecting information about the Nodahan people for a long time. It does not mean how much the Earth Federation admires the Nodahan people, nor is it because of the three devices that saved the colonial star.

Regarding the Nodahan people's Aiwujiwu, their main purpose of collecting data is to try to analyze some of the Nodahan people's civilization and technology from the data, so as to study the manufacturing methods of those modification devices. After all, they rented three devices

The cost is too huge, and over time even a medium-sized civilization like the Earth Federation will not be able to afford it.

Unfortunately, until the time when Leo died in the battle, the Earth Federation did not research anything useful. It was even said that a device was damaged due to research. This has evolved into an extremely serious diplomatic incident, and even more

It may develop into a conflict between two medium civilizations.

It is precisely because the Earth Federation attaches great importance to the Nodahan people that there is a large amount of information about the Nodahan people in the federal database. These information are all publicly available information, such as the physical characteristics of the Nodahan people, such as civilization

Form, etc., so Leo was able to recognize the origin of the monster that Penny brought when he saw it at first sight.

If it were in the Earth Federation, just by relying on this living Nodahan man, he could exchange it for a colonial star from the Earth Federation. In the Earth Federation, everything the Nodahan people had represented wealth, but now, this Nodahan man

In Leo's eyes, people are just trouble.

After Leo checked the Nordahan man and confirmed that his vital signs were normal and that he had just fallen into a deep sleep due to the effect of the medicine, and that he did not have any positioning devices or abnormal energy signatures on his body, he asked Penny that they should go to the shoe upper station to conduct an investigation.

What happened during the mission, and why did he come back with a living Nodahan man?

Faced with Leo's inquiry, Penny also sorted out her words, and then explained in detail how they went to the shoe station.

Leo didn't pay too much attention at first, but after hearing the decision of the two of them outside the stone house, he couldn't help but be stunned. Leo never thought that these two guys would make such a decision. He just let

They went to investigate the Upper Station to find out the source of interference in the stone house, but in the end, they directly slaughtered the people in the Upper Station. This was beyond Leo's expectation and made him have to re-examine the abilities and abilities of the two people.
