After that, Fang Zheng encountered many Covenant fighters along the way, but these enemies were obviously not a problem for Fang Zheng. He killed them all by slicing them all along the way. Iona also obtained a lot of nanomaterial supplies from these Covenant supplies, which at least reduced the repair time by more than half.

"So, this is the remains of that forerunner?"

After killing the last Covenant soldier who was resisting desperately, Fang Zheng walked to the gate of the tower and looked at it curiously. Different from the bionic style of the previous Covenant, this Forerunner's ruins gate looked very neat, sci-fi, and clean mechanical.

If anything, it gives Fang Zheng's aesthetic sense a closer touch with humans, and is even more advanced than current humans.

Hmm...this stuff is good.

Looking at the door in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then he walked forward and knocked on the door.

“…”

No reaction at all.

"How do you open this thing?"

"Please wait a moment, Master."

Nymph also hurried forward, then she stretched out her hand and placed it on the door. Then, a halo appeared in Nymph's eyes again.

"...This door uses some kind of sensing technology. It can only be opened when it senses a creature that matches the frequency. Please wait, I will change the frequency right now... Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the little angel shouting in surprise, Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask, and the little angel was stunned for a moment before answering.

"It's like this, I detected that another entrance to the ruins had been opened, and the person who entered was the Master Chief!"

"Is it him? How did he get in? Was it the AI's work?"

"No, according to the records here, the Forerunners scanned him and confirmed that he met the requirements, and opened the door directly."

“…Is this even possible???”

Hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng was slightly stunned, and then immediately calmed down. The protagonist always has an aura. He accidentally practices martial arts and turns out to be a long-lost magic skill, or he accidentally finds something that is the key to open a mysterious relic, or he himself doesn't know what royal bloodline he is from... Aren't these all routines?

"It seems that he is indeed the protagonist. He is just different. Never mind him. Let's do our own thing. Open the door."

"Yes, Master."

Although she didn't quite understand what Fang was saying, Nymph nodded anyway. Then she stretched out her hand and tapped the air a few times. Soon, the heavy door that had been tightly closed slowly rose, revealing the space inside.

This is a huge hall. It looks quite sci-fi from the outside, with glowing lines and sci-fi white armor everywhere. From the style alone, it can be seen that these things are completely different from the styles of the Star Alliance and the human world. Perhaps because the Star Alliance soldiers cannot enter, the entire hall seems unusually empty, and no enemies can be seen at all.

"This place is really beautiful, come here, let's take a picture... Damn!"

Just when Fang Zheng was pulling Nymph, Iona and Charmander in to take a photo, suddenly several strange small mechanical bodies appeared not far from their feet. They looked a bit like the Protoss's Tanji, but with a more mechanical texture.

"Is there really someone guarding the grave?"

Seeing these strange things, Fang Zheng also jumped back quickly, and at the same time prepared a storm of magic missiles in his hand. Unlike the trial world, Fang Zheng can use a certain degree of magic power in the aid world, but he needs to consume his own magic power. In the past, this might still be a problem for Fang Zheng, but after he mastered the third method, Fang Zheng basically has unlimited magic power. For him, he no longer needs to rely on the magic power in the atmosphere to cast spells like ordinary mages.

However, these strange machines just glanced at Fang Zheng and the others, then quickly turned around and flew to the other side. They looked like they were patrolling or defending something.

"What is this?"

Fang Zheng patted the head of the little fire dragon that wanted to go up and "fight" with those weird machines, and looked at Nymph. Nymph also reached out her hand again, with a light flickering in her eyes.

"...They are called 'Temple Defenders', and they are the guards here."

"Guards? Then can we pack this thing up and take it back?"

Since coming to this world, Fang Zheng felt like Alibaba entering the treasure house of the Forty Thieves. He wanted to take everything he saw... He wanted everything he saw...

"certainly."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Nymph nodded.

"As long as I find the control terminal here, I will be able to control these temple guards. As far as I can see now, although the Forerunners are very technologically advanced, they are still slightly inferior to the Synapses in terms of information manipulation. But what's strange is..."

"Um?"

"In the coding of the Forerunner system, I found structures and codes similar to those in the Star Alliance battleships. The latter is more like a...copycat of the former."

"In other words, the Covenant obtained high technology from the graves of the dead?"

Fang Zheng seemed quite calm in response to Nymph's question. After all, this kind of thing was not uncommon. At present, the Forerunners' technology was higher than that of both humans and the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance was so concerned about the Forerunners. Obviously, these guys had gained a lot of benefits from the Forerunners' archaeology (or tomb robbing), and they couldn't help themselves after tasting the sweetness.

Since the temple defenders had no intention of attacking Fang Zheng and the others, Fang Zheng would naturally not waste time looking for trouble with them. He led the others through the hall and came to the control console on the other side. Then Fang Zheng reached out and pressed it... As expected, there was no reaction.

Then again, why was the Master Chief able to activate the things in this facility? Wasn't he a human? According to the general settings of games or novels, could it be that the Master Chief was the only offspring of a Forerunner who was stranded outside, or even a prince?

Then, would he return to their homeland to reclaim their inheritance?

Will he be crowned king one day?

“——!”

Just when Fang Zheng's mind was full of random thoughts, suddenly, accompanied by a slight sound, the originally dim machine suddenly began to glow, and then quickly started up.

"What's going on??? Wait... I almost guessed it..."

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng was nervous at first, but soon he thought of something. According to Nymph, the Master Chief and the AI ​​had entered the ruins before. Judging from their actions, they were obviously not here for archaeology and tourism like himself. Obviously, if Fang Zheng guessed correctly, it must be the Master Chief who activated something here, which caused the chain reaction.

"I'm logged into the system."

At the same time, Nymph quickly stepped forward, opened the communication channel, and connected with the Forerunner's system.

"Target confirmed... This is the Forerunner's shield world, called Requiem. This is... eh?"

Seeing this, Nymph's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Master, something is wrong. This place is not as simple as we thought. A forerunner is imprisoned here!"

"Alive?"

"Yes, according to the data, the forerunner here is a very dangerous existence, so it was imprisoned here and cannot leave forever."

"...This is really troublesome. Why not just execute the death penalty? What's the point of life imprisonment? Isn't it just waiting for a Tang Monk to come and release the Monkey King one day... Wait, isn't that what the sergeant does?"

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shuddered suddenly. He knew it very well. A major characteristic of the protagonist is that he has a nagging tendency. He wants to touch everything he sees. Many boss battles are often caused by the protagonist's nagging tendency!

"Nymph, is there any way to cut off or shut down their control over this relic?"

"I can try shutting down the system! Then restarting it and recompiling."

"Close it immediately."

"yes!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Nymph stretched out her hand and waved it in the air. The next moment, the shining light around her disappeared instantly.

Meanwhile…

"Cortana, what happened?"

Seeing the map in front of him suddenly disappear, the sergeant was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"I have no idea……"

Faced with the Master Chief's question, Cortana was also confused.

"The mapping machine suddenly shut down. It looks like we have to restart it manually."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Hearing Cortana's report, the Master Chief raised his weapon.

"Let's take action."

Fang Zheng overlooked another thing, that is, as the protagonist, they are generally very active...
