Lu Mingming clenched her cold palms, feeling as if she had been sitting in a closed business vehicle for seven hours. The air was so scarce that she could hardly breathe, and at the same time, her heartbeat vibrated at the same frequency as the accelerator, as if her whole heart was trying to jump violently out of her chest.
The two conflict with each other, doubling the discomfort.
The little cub burrowed even deeper into her arms, trying to bury itself against Lu Mingming's chest.
"Don't be afraid, your sister is here."
Lu Mingming's eyes were half-closed, and the light from the ceiling above her head turned into a blurry, multi-layered white shadow.
She bit her tongue lightly, trying to stay awake, but she couldn't resist the discomfort of her first jump.
"Hello, due to the captain's mental stress during the operation of the ship, he has lost consciousness. The system is now in automatic safety mode as arranged."
All personnel on board, please ensure you are in a safe position. We will immediately proceed with Plan Two, the jump. Three, two, one…”
A violent shaking came over me; even several 360-degree roller coaster turns couldn't compare to the thrill of this moment.

Before losing consciousness, Lu Mingming heard a news report on the radio:
"Jump successful... Beep—beep—"
An aggressive species was detected in the safe room; a destruction order was issued.
Three, two, one… The safety room has been successfully deployed.
In the rapid weightlessness, Lu Mingming fell into a deep sleep.
"Hello, Miss? Are you alright, Miss?"
A call entered Lu Mingming's mind, awakening her dormant consciousness.
Lu Mingming slightly opened his eyes, and the image finally settled on a woman in front of him—she had a dark and aged face and was dressed in clothes made of pudding linen.
Has she... traveled back to ancient times? Her attire is completely unlike that of an interstellar being...
"Great, you're finally awake."

The woman smiled kindly and brought over a bowl of hot water, placing it on the bedside table.
"Have some water."
The woman stretched out her arm, which was quite strong, and easily supported Lu Mingming's thin back, helping him sit up straight. She then fed him hot water little by little with a spoon.
The water relieved his dry mouth, but Lu Mingming was still drowsy. An invisible weakness spread from the bottom of his body to his limbs and bones, and even his mental sea was empty. It seemed that there was a sound calling near his ears.
Lu Mingming looked up and saw that the room was quite simple, with only a wooden bed and a few cardboard boxes for storing things.
She lowered her head and thought quietly for a while, making sure she hadn't been to this unfamiliar environment before, then asked softly, "Where am I...? I remember... I think I was in a competition... then I boarded a ship and encountered a wormhole..."
Lu Mingming's eyes showed confusion and bewilderment.
"This is my home, so you can rest assured."
The woman put down her bowl and found two soft pillows for Lu Mingming to lean against.
Seeing Lu Mingming's blank expression, the woman said with pity:
"It's obvious you came from somewhere else and suffered some misfortune. Alas, luckily you met me. Seeing you lying pitifully in the forest outside the city, and knowing you are a pure-blooded human like me, I rescued you."
"Are you a pure-blooded human?"
The last sentence caught Lu Mingming's attention, and she quickly asked, "Is this Blue Star?"
The woman shook her head with a wry smile: "This is the city of sin."
