Shangjing City, Night Watch Headquarters.
"What exactly is the Covenant?"
In the archive room, Zuo Qing looked at the ancient parchment scroll in his hand and muttered to himself.
Ding-a-ling——!
The crisp ringing of the cell phone brought Zuo Qing back to reality. He answered the call:
"Okay, I'll be right there."
He put the file back where it belonged and quickly walked back to his office, where his secretary was already waiting anxiously.
"What's the hurry? Are Qiye and the others back?"
"No... Director Lin and the others should still be at sea. That's another matter!"
The secretary handed the tablet computer to Zuo Qing and said solemnly: "Just a minute ago, the lunar monitoring satellite we launched sent back some strange pictures..."
"A lunar orbiting detection satellite?"
Zuo Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the early years, when humans first observed the Seraphim Michael on the moon, they began to build satellites to orbit the moon in order to monitor the angel's actions. However, after the first satellite was launched, it was chopped down by Michael's sword. Later, humans launched several more satellites, each time tentatively increasing the distance for observing the moon. It was not until the launch of the fourth satellite that Michael did not attack the satellite, which was considered as tacit consent for humans to watch from a distance.
But this satellite is too far away from the moon. Even with the most advanced telescope of that era, it can only barely see the silhouette on the crater as a white dot. It can't see any other useful information, let alone surveillance.
Later, after realizing that Michael had no ill intentions towards humans, humans gradually gave up monitoring the moon. This lunar monitoring satellite launched many years ago became a forgotten old object.
After so many years, what valuable things can this satellite capture?
Zuo Qing took the tablet in confusion. The location where the picture was taken was not the moon, but the space near the moon. In the dark deep space, a white dot was slowly approaching the moon.
"What is this? Space junk?"
"You...zoom in and take a look."
Zuo Qing zoomed in on the image, and under the blurred lens, the outline of the white dot gradually emerged...
"Huh?" Zuo Qing was stunned. "What is this... a model? Or a puzzle toy like Lego?"
On the screen, the outline of a hospital came into view. The walls, courtyards, hospital buildings, and even the chessboard and wooden chairs in the middle of the courtyard could be seen. On the plaque at the gate of the hospital, a few large characters could be vaguely recognized:
——The Asylum of the Gods.
"Commander Zuo, this picture has been reduced hundreds of times." The secretary said slowly, "This is not a model... From the size point of view, this is a real mental hospital restored one to one."
"You mean, there is a floating mental hospital in space?" Zuo Qing looked at him in astonishment. "Am I crazy, or is this world crazy?"
"Lunar observers have clearly captured its trajectory. It is getting closer to the moon... This is too strange, so I came to you as soon as I received the news." The secretary's expression was extremely solemn. "Commander Zuo, there is a ..."
Zuo Qing sat up from his office chair, frowning, "What on earth is that hospital... If it is some form of attack, then this attack is too ridiculous, not to mention that Michael is in charge on the moon, this matter..."
Zuo Qing pondered for a moment.
"The moon is a matter of great importance. No matter what, we must proceed with caution... Go and inform the Heavenly Court and ask them if they have noticed that thing."
"yes."
"At its current speed, how long will it take to reach the moon?"
"When these images were taken, it was less than 10,000 kilometers away from the moon. At this speed, it is about to land on the lunar surface."
“So soon?”
Zuo Qing's brows furrowed more and more, and he wandered around the room for a long time. "It will take at least ten minutes to wait for the Heavenly Court to receive the notice before setting off for the moon... So, I will set off now to cross the space and go to the moon first to take a look. You immediately contact Zhou Ping, Lu Wuwei, Master Chen and other ceilings who have the ability to cross the space, and have them set off immediately."
Hearing this, the secretary hesitated a little, "Commander Zuo, our satellite only photographed an empty hospital... It's not a large-scale enemy attack, is there any need to be so nervous? Besides, there is Michael on the moon."
"Something must be wrong when it's out of the ordinary. This is related to the seal of the moon, so it's always better to be cautious."
Zuo Qing put on the dark red cloak on the hanger, hung the straight knife at his waist, and walked quickly out of the house.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped.
"By the way, remember to check the things in the second drawer on the right side of the table...if anything happens, you know what to do."
The secretary was slightly stunned, then seemed to have thought of something and said seriously:
"yes."
Zuo Qing did not go downstairs and walk through the main door of the Night Watch Building. Instead, he directly opened the window and jumped out in one step. Azure light gushed out of his body like a zure flame bird, rapidly flying into the sky!
…
[7 minutes until the Donghuang Bell rings]
Moon.
In the gray-white meteorite crater, a six-winged golden figure holding a giant sword stood tall in the dead silence of the deep space.
His tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, as if he had sensed something, and suddenly opened them, only to see a huge shadow rapidly expanding on the desolate moon surface!
He frowned, and golden divine power instantly surged in all directions like a tide. At this moment, a ray of light suddenly burst out from the shadow and enveloped his figure!
Michael's pupils suddenly contracted!
Even He did not sense the slightest trace of the shadow. If it had not blocked the sunlight and caused the light on the moon's surface to change, He would not even have known that the thing had reached above His head!
What the hell is this?!
Michael didn't have time to think, as the light suddenly changed the scene around him.
When he came to his senses, the originally desolate and vast moon surface had disappeared, replaced by a bare white room.
The sun's rays from the distant sky shine through the window, illuminating a corner of the room. Through the window, one can see what appears to be a corridor outside, and further down, an empty green courtyard...
What is this place?
The moment this thought came to Michael's mind, the door to the room slowly opened...
Amid the harsh creaking sound, a white figure was already standing in the corridor outside the room.
It was a black man in a white coat.
He put his hands in his pockets and wore a pair of elegant black-framed glasses that almost blended into his skin color. He looked at Michael in the room and smiled, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.
"Hello, Patient No. 1... Michael."
