Chapter 238: Ghost Signal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I’m Lone Wolf. Today is my first… 1 can’t remember. Anyway, today is another interstellar adventure for me.”
“The identity of the Prophet’s Chosen One left me somewhat breathless, so I had no choice but to use the risky methods I’ve always used to relieve the pressure.”
“But this is just a temporary measure. The fanatics with psionic power will find me soon. 1 have to try my best to calm down before they carry me back.”
“I’m not boasting, but 1 still think that my life is full of legends. If 1 write a book about my experiences, 1 might become the greatest fantasy writer in the galaxy.”
“This kind of thing is too unbelievable. I will use this adventure to verify if there is really a legend in the world…”
Lone Wolf closed the physical diary and placed it back into his storage bag.
Just as his diary had said, he had escaped this time. The matter of the Khan tribe and the Guardian of the Holy Land had left him frustrated, and he had no choice but to come out and take a breather.
He was really not interested in these things. The authority of a ruler was not as practical as an interesting alien ruin to him.
He was not interested in using the token that the prophet Zachlan had left him to gather his believers. The outside world was widely rumored that he, the prophet’s chosen one, would start a great holy war in the name of the prophet, but that thing had actually been buried in his chest.
However, his identity as a Chosen One was known by the believers of the Guardian of the Holy Land. With prophet Zachlan having left civilization forever, countless believers of the Guardian of the Holy Land wanted to find out about the prophet from him.
In the end, Lone Wolf, who couldn’t take it anymore, ran away like the prophet. Although it was only temporary, it was a rare moment of leisure.
Of course, after his baffling legendary experiences, Lone Wolf was already very cautious when it came to adventuring.
Although he wasn’t afraid, if he were to encounter something like the Great Khan’s Trial or the Prophet’s Chosen One, he, who had always disliked trouble, would only feel that he was unlucky.
“I hope there won’t be any accidents this time…”
Lone Wolf tapped on the spaceship’s control interface and randomly selected a galaxy. Following that, he activated the spaceship’s warp drive.
Yes, his spaceship had already been installed with a warp drive, which came with the help of the Guardian of the Holy Land.
After all, he often adventured in the galaxy, and the efficiency of conventional hyperspace engines was not that high. Therefore, the believers of the Guardian of the Holy Land modified his spaceship and installed a warp drive that only the lost empire had.
With the help of this powerful superluminal engine that could teleport, Lone Wolf could already travel to places he once thought were too far away.
As the light flowed, the shattered space-time formed when the warp drive was activated began to reorganize and maintain the same state as the destination, directly turning the space-time where the entire spaceship was located into the destination.
Although Lone Wolf had no idea how the engine worked, it didn’t stop him from exclaiming at the marvel of the lost empire’s technology.
“What incredible technology. It’s hard to imagine how these lost empires developed…”
As Lone Wolf thought about it, he inadvertently caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and was taken aback.
The destination that he had chosen at random was not as ordinary as he had imagined. On the contrary, it had some obvious peculiarities.
The most eye-catching thing was that there were a large number of spaceships here, and judging from their appearance, these spaceships came from different civilizations.
With so many spaceships gathered here, Lone Wolf almost thought that he had arrived at a certain Gateway Galaxy.
However, after looking at the star map, he confirmed that this was indeed the theoretical barren galaxy.
There was no prosperous star passages network passing through here, and no noteworthy cosmic phenomena were happening here. Logically speaking, this place should be an insignificant galaxy among the hundreds of billions of galaxies in the Milky Way.
However, an accident still happened.
“Am I a mobile accident generator? Why would there be anything unusual about going on an adventure?”
Lone Wolf couldn’t help but take out the diary that recorded his legendary life. As he carefully observed the spaceships in the galaxy, he wrote down the follow-up to his adventure.
“I came to an unusual galaxy, where a large number of spaceships from different civilizations with unknown purposes gathered.”
“I tried to communicate with these spaceships, but 1 didn’t receive any reply. It looks like there’s no one controlling it.”
“I didn’t rashly try to board those spaceships, but the drones 1 sent to scout told me that there were no signs of life on the spaceships. Instead, there were more traces of robots.”
“Could it be that a group of robots drove these spaceships here?”
“This anomaly reminds me of something that happened in the Milky Way recently. I’ve heard more than once about the theft of robots and spaceships in a civilization.”
“Although these incidents ended with an unknown theft gang wreaking havoc, my intuition tells me that there’s something fishy about this.”
“And this galaxy might be one of the origins.”
The diary ended there. Lone Wolf stopped his exploration of the galaxy and decided to leave.
Although his curiosity was strong, he was extremely cautious when it came to the unknown and would not take risks easily.
He was prepared to spread the news of the abnormal situation in this galaxy and see what others were prepared to do.
However, when he thought about the abnormal robots that had come here, Lone Wolf suddenly thought of the Administrator.
“Speaking of which, the Administrator seems to be an artificial intelligence as well, right? This lost robotic empire might have a unique understanding of the matters here…”
His ship quickly left the gravitational range of the star and arrived at a safe zone outside the gravity well. Only then did he start the warp drive.
Recalling the uniqueness of the entire galaxy, he once again checked the information about this galaxy.
The introduction of this galaxy was very short. Like most galaxies in the Milky Way, there was only one sentence:
“This place is a galaxy formed by an F-type star, five barren planets, and a poisonous planet.”
“The only place that is most likely to be abnormal is this poisonous planet, right?” Just as Lone Wolf had this thought, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Although it could not be seen with the naked eye, the drone he left inside the galaxy for surveillance sent him a picture.
The surface of the toxic planet’s atmosphere fluctuated violently as if something drastic was happening inside the planet.
However, this was not the source of the bad premonition. What was really problematic was a series of strong signals.
This string of signals seemed to have existed in the galaxy for a long time, but it was extremely weak before, so weak that it could not be detected at all.
However, this string of signals had been strengthened countless times by an unknown method. It was like a fire that burned rapidly.
The moment he received the signal, the vehicle that had accompanied Lone Wolf on countless space adventures had a serious problem.
All the instruments malfunctioned at the same time and were out of control.
The control panel of the spaceship flashed and turned blood-red.
The messy characters were arranged on it, and although it looked messy, one could vaguely see the meaning they wanted to express:
[%@#* Kill nsadohdr Maim erud& $% Dismember 5395714 We’re Back ]
The indescribable strange signal began its journey of infection and was quickly detected by the civilizations of the Milky Way.
Almost all electronic devices that could receive signals would be infected by the signal virus indiscriminately and enter an uncontrollable state.
Its form looked very familiar, and more than one civilization had discovered it. This signal was very similar to the ghost signal that the Administrator had once sent.
This made them suspect that something was wrong with the Administrator again.
However, what they did not expect was that almost as soon as the signal began to spread in the galaxy, the real ghost signal from the Administrator also began to spread in the galaxy.
The civilizations of the AAilky Way, who detected two kinds of ghost signals at the same time, could not help but be confused.. Which one should they believe?
