Tu Ran nodded and looked around the simple little clinic. There was no change. It was exactly the same as when she left.

Xiaojiu came over cautiously, "Brother Xie is downstairs, do you want to go down now?"

Tu Ran narrowed her eyes.

Sister? When did this guy become so polite? He never called her sister before.

Xiao Jiu avoided Tu Ran's sight, ran to the compartment and pressed the mechanism. The door slowly rose up, and he stood aside, "The door is open, you can go down."

Tu Ran looked hesitantly at the dark underground space, then looked at Xiao Jiu. A sense of caution arose in her heart, and she walked slowly down the stairs.

[Night Vision] came into play, and the underground space remained the same as before, with a ring in the center and some equipment piled on the edge, but no one was lying in ambush.

Directly above the arena, there was a glass room suspended in the air with a light on. Xie Xu was sitting upright inside, facing the stairs, looking down at a stack of papers with his brows deeply furrowed. He looked very unhappy and his irritability was palpable.

Tu Ran looked around silently, making sure there was no one else around before walking towards the stairs leading to the glass house.

Xie Xu kept sitting in that position. Tu Ran stood at the door of the glass room, glanced at the top of his head, and said jokingly, "Researcher Xie, you haven't collected many superpowers in such a long time? Your subordinates are not very good?"

Xie Xu then raised his head, glanced at her sideways, then lowered his head again, with the same sarcastic tone, "After all this time, you're still willing to come back?"

Tu Ran leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms, and crossed her right leg over her left leg. "I really can't bear to leave. I was bombarded as soon as I came back, and all my abilities were exposed. You said we are partners after all, and you just watched that person waiting for me outside the threshold?"

Although she had taken the inner elixir, the time between coming out of the "door" and snatching the inner elixir was enough for the man to see all of her supernatural powers and send them back to the federal government.

It can be said that the federal government has now figured out what special abilities she has.

Xie Xu put down the pen in his hand, turned his chair and faced Tu Ran. "Before him, there were four people with the ability to identify supernatural beings. I helped you deal with them all. This one dropped in today, and only a few people knew about it. I just got the news about him, and you came out of the 'door'."

What I mean is that I want to help you solve the problem, but it's too late.

Tu Ran nodded approvingly. He was indeed reliable, as she had hinted at him with the "Realm of Illusion".

"Which worlds have you visited during this period of time?" Xie Xu asked back.

"Threshold, Harnden Galaxy, Blue Star." Tu Ran answered honestly, and then added with interest, "Come to think of it, I also ran into your capable subordinate in the Harnden Galaxy."

"He's doing pretty well over there. He's even joined the army there and is fighting monsters on the battlefield. If you calculate the time, he has more or less made some contributions now. Hey, do you think he will come back? After all, being an official over there is more glorious than working under you."

Tu Ran stared at Xie Xu seriously, as if she really wanted an answer.

Xie Xu raised his eyes and avoided her question, "Didn't you also follow them to recapture a star?"

Tu Ran said, "Tsk, I forgot to ask, is Qi Tongda coming back?"

Xie Xu nodded.

No wonder Xie Xu knew it so clearly, he must have read Qi Tongda’s memory.

"He's pretty lucky," Tu Ran sighed, "so you know almost everything that happened in the Harnden galaxy." Xie Xu did not deny it.

He knew it, but still asked Tu Ran because he wanted to see her attitude.

Tu Ran suppressed the smile on her face.

The two of them finished testing each other.

The other party is temporarily reliable.

The conversation got to the point.

"What is the current situation in each world? Why are there so many connection points?" Tu Ran stood up straight.

Xie Xu silently picked up the documents on the table and handed them to her.

Tu Ran took a glance and saw that it was the same document that Xie Xu was looking through when she came here last time. There was a black pen outline on the first page of the document, and it was in the same position where she saw it last time.

[Help!!] [Urgent help!] [S·Erso sends a distress signal to all the worlds with higher intelligence in the universe!] [S·Erso is under attack!] [The most warlike race in the universe has invaded S·Erso and robbed our holy relics.] [The order of the universe is about to collapse!] [S·Erso is facing destruction!] [S·Erso needs support.] …

[Our world needs support! Please... please... please quickly... support.] Tu Ran frowned as she finished reading this page. S. Erso should be a world in the universe. Their world was invaded by "the most warlike race in the universe" and their holy relics were robbed. What are holy relics? Judging from the meaning of these words, it may be something that can cause the order of the universe to collapse.

The collapse of cosmic order?

The connection points between the worlds, connecting the originally unrelated worlds, does this count as the collapse of the cosmic order? If so, then the fact that this powerful holy object is kept by the world called S. Erso already shows that this world is powerful enough, at least not on the same level as the worlds she traveled through.

It was so powerful, but it was still snatched away by another race. What level was the world of that other race? Why did they snatch this holy object? Tu Ran read S. Erso's description of this race again: the most warlike race in the universe.

The Federation is already considered a warlike race.

Loves invading other worlds.

Then, the most warlike race in this universe snatched the holy objects, causing the order of the universe to collapse and the worlds to merge, in order to invade the entire universe? Tu Ran's thoughts went through thousands of things in a short moment, and she raised her eyes and asked Xie Xu, "Does S. Erso still exist now?"

Xie Xu shook his head.

"Three years ago, I followed the Federation spacecraft on a mission to explore extraterrestrial civilizations. When passing through a certain place, the spacecraft received a signal sent from deep in the universe. After decoding, the content was roughly as above."

Xie Xu stood up from the chair, slowly walked to the edge of the glass room, turned his back to Tu Ran, and looked down at the darkness below.

"The spacecraft traveled in the dark universe for one month and three days in the direction it sent, but did not find the corresponding galaxy. Due to the spacecraft's energy limit, the spacecraft had to return. This news was reported to the Federation, and the Federation sent another spacecraft with sufficient energy to travel in the original direction. Until four months ago, the spacecraft sent back a set of photos."

Tu Ran flipped back two pages and saw a few pictures.

It is a gray-black galaxy from a distance. The main star in the center is surrounded by an asteroid belt. If you shoot from a close distance, you can see that the asteroid belt is made up of planetary fragments.
