Cen Yu had never heard of the Gray Fog Zone before. He turned to look out the porthole and saw that everything around him was still gray. But he soon noticed something different. The persistent red spaceship reappeared on their left.
Wen Xihe had obviously also noticed the red spaceship.
After Li Chonghe finished counting the unconscious students, he saw Cen Yu and Wen Xi looking out the porthole. From his angle, he couldn't see anything unusual, so he asked, "What do you see?"
As far as he knew, the gray fog zone was an area that was difficult for humans to describe and explore, contradicting any scientific principles that people had previously understood. No one knew where the mysterious sounds coming from when passing through the gray fog zone came from, and there was something that Li Chonghe had just not revealed—
The premise that a foggy area is not dangerous is that it must be in a dark environment.
To be precise, you need to make sure your environment is darker than the fog zone... Someone once asked what people who opened their eyes or made a sound at that time saw, and the answer was nothing.
They didn't notice anything extra in the darkness, as if it were just their imagination.
However, for a period of time afterward, they kept having nightmares about being devoured by indescribable horrors, and they became listless, as if their spiritual power had been consumed.
The Empire conducted a special study and found that these people's mental strength would be greatly weakened in a short period of time, and then return to normal, as if something unseen was absorbing their mental strength the moment they opened their eyes or made a sound.
Fortunately, it only takes about a week to gradually recover.
Normal interstellar travel does not pass through the gray fog zone, so it is normal that apart from Li Chonghe or a few other people who know about it, they do not know about the gray fog zone.
“That spaceship.” Jiang Yan also saw the spaceship. Hearing Li Chonghe’s question, he hurriedly replied, “The spaceship with the words ‘Mante Tourism Company’ printed on it that we saw after the first space jump node.”
"I didn't see it after the second space jump, I didn't expect them to catch up now."
Li Chonghe was naturally aware of the prank by Mante Travel Company—
The initial webpages and images were fake, but gradually, it seemed that some people found the prank amusing, and that's when the legendary red spaceship actually appeared in the universe.
But the gray fog zone is not a place that those pranksters can reach at all.
Thinking of this, he lowered his body slightly and observed the red spaceship through the porthole.
Sure enough, it was printed with the words "Mante Travel Company".
However, he was still some distance from the Golden Iris, and small meteorites were still scattered all around them, so even though the Golden Iris felt something was strange, there was no need to drive it away.
Cen Yu shifted his attention away from the haunting spaceship. "What's going on with the Gray Fog Zone?" He glanced at Li Chonghe, thinking that he was probably the only one among them who knew the truth.
Li Chonghe recounted everything he knew about the gray fog zone.
"So... they'll suffer from lethargy and nightmares for a week?" Cen Yu glanced at the people still slumped in their seats.
"yes."
"Why weren't we warned about the existence of the gray fog zone before we set off?" Wen Xihe asked immediately.
Li Chonghe turned his gaze to Cen Yu's roommate, ignoring the man's almost accusatory tone. "The broadcast has already given a warning."
Cen Yu immediately understood what Li Chonghe meant.
Ultimately, their most important quality is obedience and following orders, and not acting rashly.
Anyone who heeded the broadcast warning will be safe and sound... Is this some kind of lesson? Or perhaps the first lesson before entering the planet Nott?
Cen Yu's thoughts wandered aimlessly. He turned to look outside again, where the Mante Travel Company's spaceship was still there, neither too close nor too far.
"Could it really be a cosmic ghost...?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask.
He seemed terrified of these things. "I heard that the spaceship was full of passengers who were killed back then, and they have been wandering in space ever since."
“This is a prank,” Li Chonghe said.
"Huh?" Jiang Yan looked up.
“I’m telling you, the Mante Travel Company is a prank. There was no Mante Travel Company 300 years ago.” He gestured for everyone to look at the red spaceship. “Spaceships didn’t look like this 300 years ago.”
“Based on the information I have, this was all a prank from beginning to end. There was no such travel company, and there were no so-called spaceship victims,” Li Chonghe said. “It was just that someone wanted to play a prank, so they bought the red spaceship and wrote ‘Mante Travel Company’ on it.”
"Although we don't know what the purpose of this ship is."
"But this is fake."
As Li Chonghe spoke, it seemed that someone was looking for him. After saying goodbye to Cen Yu and the others, he left the vicinity.
After the other party left, Cen Yu glanced at the red spaceship outside the porthole again... The spaceship was still following here, like some kind of ghost.
...
Chi Jiazhen coughed, while Lou Miao'an remained silent beside him.
They also drew the blue faction.
The two hadn't spoken a word since they sat down together, until the red spaceship came into view.
Chi Jiazhen's gaze lingered on the red spaceship. "Mante Tourism Company?" he repeated the name. "There are tourism companies in the Gray Fog Zone?"
Lou Miao'an, having grown up in Xingdu, naturally knew about this famous urban legend.
"I heard it's a ghost ship."
"Where is he planning to go with us?" Chi Jiazhen asked again. "Planet Nott."
Lou Miao'an, of course, did not know, so he remained silent. Chi Jiazhen did not expect a response from him either. He simply stared at the red spaceship, as if he was thinking about something.
"Is there anyone on the ghost ship?" he muttered to himself, then quickly added, "Definitely not."
"Even if there are, they're probably all dead people inside."
Lou Miao'an listened to Chi Jiazhen's mutterings beside him, and soon he heard the other person humming a song softly. It was a language he couldn't understand—even if he couldn't understand it, he could feel the other person's excitement.
He couldn't help but ask, "What are you singing?"
Chi Jiazhen remained gentle as he turned to look at Lou Miao'an, saying, "It's a song from my hometown."
"A song sung during the wedding ceremony."
