It is obvious that it was a civilized society.

The buildings are magnificent, the roads are wide and flat, small spaceships can be seen parked everywhere, the sky city is suspended in the air, huge green plants climb in the gaps between the buildings and blend with the buildings. The whole city has a sci-fi and magical beauty.

It is hard to imagine how many tens of thousands of years the race living here has developed to forge such a civilization.

However, when Tu Ran saw the line of words marked under the picture, he couldn't suppress a moment of regret.

"This image is only a recovery image of the special signal captured on the surface of the planet S.Erso. The real S.Erso has been destroyed."

Tu Ran turned to the next page and saw a devastated world.

The surface is covered with sand dunes and gravel, and there are huge pits as if hit by a meteorite. Only broken walls and ruins of the magnificent buildings are left, and the past appearance can be vaguely seen. The sky used to be bright blue, but now it is reddish brown and filled with dust, as if it is a permanent dusk.

In addition to the pictures, the data also contains other information that S. Erso left on the surface of the planet before his demise.

Discontinuous records of the development of galaxies, some incomplete scientific and technological achievements, a small number of records of customs, a few lyrics similar to Tong Yao's, and a few special words...

"These are the information sent back four months ago." Xie Xu turned around.

Tu Ran flipped through the documents from front to back. Xie Xu had written notes on each page, making extended inferences about the contents of the documents. Tu Ran quickly read through them, closed the documents, and raised his head. "You knew three years ago that there were other worlds besides Threshold?"

"Yes, but at that time we didn't know what the collapse of the cosmic order specifically meant until this information was transmitted back from S. Erso four months ago."

Tu Ran frowned, puzzled. "It took the spacecraft less than three years to reach S.Erso. That means S.Erso is not far from the Federation. Didn't you guys find out about the existence of S.Erso? Didn't S.Erso find out about the existence of the Federation?"

No matter how Tu Ran thought about it, it seemed impossible.

From the perspective of the universe, the distance between the Federation and S. Erso is no different from being shoulder to shoulder.

They shouldn't be unaware of each other.

"You can think of the process of a spacecraft sailing in the universe as entering a 'door'. Although the two worlds are separated by an unreachable distance, through the 'door', you can reach the other world in an instant. Just like the Blue Star, Threshold, and Harnden galaxies, although the Federation knows these three worlds very well and can even send people to these three worlds, but at the cosmic level, the Federation does not know the specific locations of these three worlds." Xie Xu explained slowly.

Tu Ran thought about it and concluded, "Whether we can reach S. Erso depends on fate."

Xie Xu nodded.

Tu Ran: "So can that spaceship come back?"

"No," Xie Xu took the stack of information from Tu Ran, "Four months ago, when these messages were transmitted back, the spacecraft lost contact. The 'gate' leading to the S. Erso galaxy has been closed."

Tu Ran: She just knew it.

Xie Xu lowered his eyes, sat back in his chair, and neatly placed the documents on the table. "The people on the spaceship didn't know about the existence of the 'gate' in the universe. They collected some of S. Erso's materials and happily set out on their journey home. They thought they would be able to return to the Federation in two years and seven months. In fact, they had to keep sailing in the endless space until three years later, when the energy carried by the spaceship was exhausted."

Xie Xu lowered his voice, "It was my failure to make the most correct judgment in time, which delayed their return."

Tu Ran felt that Xie Xu was blaming himself, but looking at his expression and listening to the tone of his voice, it didn't seem like he was blaming himself.

This person has always been very good at hiding his emotions. To put it bluntly, he is just good at pretending. Tu Ran was too lazy to delve into it as she had more important things to do right now.

"What exactly is that 'holy object'? I don't see anything written in the documentation." Tu Ran took a step closer, leaned on the only table in the glass room, frowned and thought.

Xie Xu glanced at Tu Ran who was approaching, and moved his chair back to distance himself from her. "No information related to it was found in the S. Erso galaxy. It is very likely that it was destroyed by the race that destroyed S. Erso."

Tu Ran nodded thoughtfully, moved her butt back, and sat down on the table with a swagger.

I'm tired after standing for so long.

There was only one chair here, and it was occupied by Xie Xu.

Xie Xu, who witnessed the whole process, said: "..."

"This thing is related to the destruction of the order of the universe. If we find it, can we prevent the current fusion of the worlds?" Tu Ran asked seriously, as if she didn't notice Xie Xu's strange look.

"Yes." Xie Xu squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"How to find it? Do you have any ideas?" Tu Ran asked with anticipation.

Xie Xu said coldly: "No."

Tu Ran narrowed her eyes and stared at him, "Really?" She was obviously doubting the credibility of what he said.

"No, you can only go through the door. If you are lucky enough, you can directly reach the world of the 'warlike race', and everything will be clear."

luck?

Tu Ran thought about her experiences over the past six months.

I guess I have good luck.

She picked up a lot of leaks, and now she has a wanted warrant worth tens of billions. The leaders of the extreme protest organizations in the Federation are not as expensive as her.

"Anything else you want to say? If not then I'm leaving."

"No." Xie Xu was decisive.

"Bye then."

Tu Ran jumped off the table and walked down the stairs. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered something. She clung to the railing and looked back at Xie Xu, "Who proposed the invasion of Blue Star?"

Xie Xu, who was writing something on the table, didn't even raise his head. "Zero, send it to her."

[Yes] So Tu Ran received a very detailed list.

Even who proposed which plan and who is responsible for which area are clearly marked on it.

It was as if he had known that she would ask for this list and had prepared it for her in advance.

Tu Ran couldn't quite understand Xie Xu's attitude towards the Federation.

Why does it seem like he is indifferent to the Federation, and doesn't care at all about the lives of the upper echelons of the Federation, and he doesn't even show any care for his own family members.

For example, in this document, the first person listed is Xie Xu’s father, Xie Xieao.

The second one is his brother Xie Zhao, the commander-in-chief of the pioneer team.

The rest include some people from the Wells family and some people from the Pang family.

He knew clearly that she was going to settle accounts with these people, yet he still threw the document to her so calmly. Tu Ran was a little hesitant.

Tu Ran cleared her throat and said, "Uh... we are partners after all. I can do you a favor. Pick a few people from this list and I'll spare their lives."

Xie Xu finally raised his head, "If I wanted to save their lives, I wouldn't have put them on the list."

Tu Ran raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that Xie Xu was even crazier than her now?

She looked through the list again, her eyes stopping on the word "Xie Zhao", confirming that it was undoubtedly Xie Xu's second brother.

"You don't recognize your relatives?"

He killed his eldest brother before, and now he won’t let his second brother go? He won’t let his father go either?

Are there many grudges among wealthy families?

Xie Xu knew who she was referring to, and said with a cold smile, "If you can kill him, it will be a great help to your future."

Tu Ran: Is this indirectly telling her that killing other people is useless and if she has to kill someone, she has to kill Xie Zhao?! Tu Ran said she got it.

Place your right hand on your left shoulder, bend over 60 degrees, and express your gratitude in an extremely elegant posture.

Xie Xu: “…”

…

Leaving the underground space, Tu Ran walked into the small clinic, walked around the narrow space, and finally stopped in front of a bed, half lying on it.

Xiao Jiu poked half of his head out from behind the computer. Why did he feel that she was more like the owner of this clinic than he was? Tu Ran lay comfortably on the bed, carefully studying the information that Ling had just sent her.

It's all about Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao now also has special abilities, but Zero has no accurate answer as to how many of them he has and what they are.

The file was accompanied by a video, in which a psychic attacked Xie Zhao with a fireball in his hand, but the fireball instantly went out halfway. In contrast, Xie Zhao did not make any move, but just stood there with a faint, warm smile on his face.

Afterwards, the psychic tried to gather his strength to condense the fireball again, but ended in failure. It was as if his supernatural power had lost its effect in an instant.

In the end, this man was controlled by the pioneers who surrounded him and taken away from the place.

Throughout the entire process, Xie Zhao showed no obvious signs of using his supernatural powers.

Tu Ran read it twice but didn't find anything suspicious.

She didn't force herself and went to look at other information.

Xie Zhao is no longer the commander-in-chief of the pioneer team. Since the death of Xie Heng, the quasi-heir of the Xie family, Xie Zhao has received great attention from Xie Xieao and has been gradually trained to be the next heir of the Xie family.

Xie Zhao's status is rising, and the security measures around him are also good. A large part of the bodyguards are people with special abilities.

Tu Ran carefully looked at their special abilities and memorized them.
