after falling asleep

Chapter 884 55. The main line that starts at the same time
"I saw the dark universe open its mouth..."

The pale, bloodless face reflects the cold, lonely universe.Fog climbed over the mask, and the solid edge flashed a warning red light.

"The dark planet rolls blankly in its mouth..."

The distant sun casts a pale gleam.At the edge of the solar system, the sun does not seem to be warm anymore.

The reflection of the curved mask turned upside down with the trembling pale cheeks, smashing into the meteorite entwined with bright and shadow,

"They're spinning around in horrors they've never noticed..."

Oxygen "hissed" out from the broken hole of the mask, and the lips that were transitioning to dark purple finally whispered. The heat-resistant gloves pushed away the sticky fragments, reached into the eye mask, and pulled out the swollen, bloodshot eyes.

"These horrors are unknown, dull, nameless..."

The voice disappeared in the cold and hopeless universe, and the last whisper floated to the distant sun.

……

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Europa, Connemara chaotic terrain.

Old Pete shivered in the blind room at minus [-] degrees.

He didn't dare to turn off the engine, lest the old all-terrain tracked vehicle take him to rest here forever.

Minutes from tide... from eruption... from Europa's tidal-influenced fountains on Jupiter.

As time passed, Old Pete gradually felt the tremor under the ice layer-or maybe the engine failed again.

"Alice, step back a little distance, the shock is a bit severe!" Old Pete put the shifted coffee cup into the booth.

[Dad, we're far enough from the fountain. ] Synthetic tones blare through the distorted radio.

Old Pete grinned: "Father, I'm not afraid of death, I just want to see my precious daughter marry that brat."

The distortion radio was silent for a few seconds: [Have you heard from Levi's? ]
"I won't hear from him when we get to Mars..." Old Pete shrugged, and his voice was buried in violent tremors and blizzard-like whistling.

Outside the car window, a volcanic eruption-like flocculent cloud tore through the earth and rushed towards the starry sky—it was actually a huge amount of liquid water.

"Fountains of shit...a fountain that shoots out of the atmosphere? Those scientists should have coined a new word for this phenomenon."

Every time he saw the fountain, old Pete worried that the Fountain of Terror would vomit the planet dry, so the shit planet wouldn't even see a native animal.

Turning on the mineral collector, Old Pete leaned back in his seat and prepared to take a nap for a while.At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a shooting star streaking across the edge of the fountain mist.

"I saw a flash! It's a treasure!" Old Pete yelled, sitting upright.

There are various legends about Europa.In addition to the "garbage king", "deep-sea monsters in the ice under their feet" and "planet transformation plan", the treasures that appeared with the fountain once became the dream of Europa trashmen.

There are often rumors that are difficult to distinguish between true and false: someone picked up a nuclear fusion core from a fountain, and someone picked up a gold mine the size of a crawler from a fountain——

Old Pete stared at the trail of "Treasure", and he had already imagined the scene after getting it: gold teeth, wearing a gold necklace, ten fingers of gold rings, standing in front of Levi's shining with golden light, throwing a gold stone: "This is Your dowry from my Alice."

[That's just a shooting star, Dad] Synthesizers come over the radio.

"Fuck...damn Meteor."

……

"Hey hey hey—"

Lord Grim covered his chest with purple lips and trembled.

[Perception of abnormal fluctuations in your blood pressure and heart rate, and it is being deployed for you and nearby hospitals...]

Hospital! ?
Lord Grim was terrified, and hurriedly controlled his mind to let go.

[Your blood pressure and heart rate have temporarily recovered, do you want to continue to contact the nearby hospital for you?Continue by default, 10, 9...Cancellation is successful, Porter Private Hospital wishes you good health. 】

Lord Grim unscrewed the medicine bottle and put it back down again. He didn't want to be sent to the hospital later due to hypotension.

Open the address book, and click on Musu's hateful profile picture of Biye with a bright smile.

"Delete your testimonial!"

Mu Su replied quickly, ignorant and innocent: "Why? I think it's very good to use this season of first snow."

"I never said those words!"

After tens of seconds of silence, Mu Su sent a screenshot of the chat history.

"The screenshot just shows that the contents of the testimonial were all tampered and distorted by you!"

"I just did the same thing as Kazuno... like a reporter (husky and low)"

"So change it!"

"it is good."

Resolutely agreeing instead made Lord Grim flustered: "...what are you going to do?"

"New testimonial to clarify that my editor didn't say that."

"...Needless to say."

"How can this be, I will feel uneasy!"

"...It's really unnecessary."

After spending a while, Lord Grim finally kept the situation from getting any change - no change means no deterioration.

After closing the address book, Lord Grim left his seat, grabbed the coffee cup with trembling hands, and walked to the window to look at the street scene.

Cars pass by, pedestrians pass along the window shops, and the streets are peaceful.

Watching the pure black painted convoy passing by, Lord Grim took a sip of his coffee, calmed down and moved away from the window.

For some reason, he has always felt that many eyes are watching him secretly.

……

"This is a long poem by the 20th century horror novelist Howard Philip Lovecraft called Nemesis, which appeared in his work "Night Demons". Nemesis Si is the goddess of nemesis in Greek mythology."

Solar Ring · Federal Presidential Palace · Office of the President.

The president, along with Secretary General Charles Kinson and his staff, read the urgent message from the edge of the solar system.

"What do you think he is expressing." The president sat in his seat and said calmly.

"Do you mean Lovecraft or..."

"Our messenger."

Charles Kinson analyzed: "The answer may not be in the poem itself. We should investigate the novel, and what he wants to metaphor may be in the story."

"What do you think?" The president looked at his staff.

The staff left the sofa, walked to the holographic screen with two gazes, connected the vision to the Internet, and called up the solar system model.

"The celestial body we discovered in the Kuiper belt in 2143 is also named 'Nemesis', and its location is..."

The staff swipe their palms, spread their fingers, and the holographic screen slides from the bustling and noisy core of the solar system to the empty and cold outer periphery of the solar system outside the asteroid belt, passing through Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and finally to the outer cold space.

Although it is far away from the nominal Oort Cloud at the edge of the solar system, it is already on the edge of the tentacles of human civilization.

"The Kuiper Belt, 50 AU from the Sun."

The staff drew a circle in this area where the celestial bodies were sparsely distributed: "This is the place where the fifth battleship group disappeared, and it is also the place where the news was sent back."

Sounds like they're close to an answer.

The staff and Charles Kinson looked at the President at the same time.The president pondered, murmuring the long poem sent back by the messenger.
