Chapter 429 The Curse Ship


    No one could refuse the judge''s request. Soon, the hatch of the planetary cracking ship opened, Duanmu Huai drove the night crow and black star slowly into it, and then he turned his head and looked at the people behind him.


    "Here, I want to remind you that from now on, you are me - the servants of the Great Judge Duanmuhuai. You must not doubt or even object to any of my words. Simply put, you must obey my orders unconditionally. Do you understand?"


    "This...is OK."


    Although I don’t know why Duanmuhuai said that, the girls still nodded obediently. Of course, to be on the safe side, Duanmuhuai still asked them to put on cloaks and masks, then opened the hatch door and walked off the Night Crow Black Star.


    At this moment, on the apron, a man with greasy and powdery hair and whose hair seemed to have not been cleaned properly for several years was standing there, looking at Duanmu Huai in a hurry. When he saw the rosette on Duanmuhuai''s chest, the man who looked like a sissy almost turned his eyes and turned his breath, but he still took out his handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurried to Duanmuhuai, and humbly lowered his head.


    "Happy, welcome to the Iron Hammer. Dear Judge, I am Murphy, the captain of the Iron Hammer. This... Is there anyone who can ask you for your service?"


    "Report your situation."


    Duanmuhuai didn''t even look at the captain, and walked forward with big strides.


    "I want to know what this ship is doing here now and what you all do."


    "This, of course... As you can see, the Hammer of Steel is a planetary cracking ship, and we are doing planetary cracking and refining work here... We pull the strata on the surface of the planet through gravity cables, then decompose it, explore the minerals in it and refine it, this... We have complete imperial procedures, USS is a regular imperial enterprise, we absolutely don''t..."


    "You don''t need to tell me this, I can see it with my eyes."


    Duanmu Huai interrupted the captain''s speech without hesitation, and the latter''s body trembled suddenly and then lowered his head. Duanmu Huai looked around and walked towards the captain''s office, while he began to think carefully.


    What happened on this ship?


    Logically speaking, if something happens to a warship in a human empire, it will either be desecrated by the evil gods or invaded by the Zerg, or it may be subject to subspace erosion and storm. But if this is the case, then they will not form soul fragments, but will be directly absorbed into the evil god''s subspace divine realm.


    Since this warship has formed soul fragments, it means that the ship must have encountered some kind of unthinkable problem.


    However, these questions... have nothing to do with demons and aliens?


    Could it be that heresy is causing trouble?


    After coming to the captain''s room, Duanmuhuai looked at the captain and asked.


    "Has anything strange happened on your boat?"


    "this………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, the captain shook his head.


    "Sorry, Lord Judge, I have not received any reports..."


    "I need all reports, including recent entry and exit records of the ship, as well as mineral collection records, recent casualties of crew members, and to find someone familiar with the ship. This place has been requisitioned by the Inquisition, you know what I mean."


    "Of course...I''ll go now, please wait..."


    After leaving this sentence, the captain hurriedly left, while Duanmu Huai sat on the magnificent sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Ogis sat on the left side of his shoulder, Rani sat on the right side, An and Gureya were sitting on both sides, looking around with some anxiety.


    Duanmu Huai didn''t open his eyes until it was silent all around.


    "How are you doing? What are you finding?"


    "I didn''t notice any particular fluctuations in this place."


    Rani shook her head, and An also gave the same answer, while Gureya was a little hesitant.


    "I don''t know, I always have a bad premonition... This place seems strange..."


    Duanmuhuai didn''t say anything. He narrowed his eyes and gently tapped the table in front of him. Since entering this warship, he had a strange feeling, which was a nervous and exciting feeling. It''s like something that you will encounter, but it has something to do with you.


    "Mr. Knight, what do you think...what happened to this warship? It will be destroyed?"


    An lowered his voice and asked softly.


    "Currently? I''m not sure. Generally speaking, this situation is either infected with some kind of plague, or an attack from outsiders, an invasion of Zergs. In fact, I prefer that these guys may have dug something that shouldn''t be dug."


    Duanmuhuai felt that the last one was more likely. After all, to create a world of soul fragments, it would require an instant explosion beyond the limit, just like when some values ??exceeded the critical point, causing the computer to crash. If it is a plague or Zerg invasion, it is obviously not enough to reach this intensity, and if it is an evil god, it will be directly swallowed into the subspace.


    So... it is more likely that it is like a primitive man dug up a nuclear bomb and then banged it... the world is pure.


    perhaps.


    Not long after, the knock on the door sounded again, and then the captain walked in and respectfully handed a piece of information to Duanmuhuai. The latter took the piece of information and began to read it quickly.


    Judging from the report, this planetary cracking ship is quite regular. Every three months, a transport team will come here to transport supplies and transport the refined minerals and raw materials here at the same time. The planetary cracking ship was acting in accordance with the company''s instructions at other times. Overall, from these records, nothing special...


    Duanmu Huai''s eyes looked at the line of records below and frowned.


    "Fifteen miners died unexpectedly three days ago? What is the reason?"


    "Those idiots got the program wrong."


    When talking about this topic, the captain was speechless.


    "They should have replaced the previous crew to carry out the maintenance and repair of the gravity cable. But when changing the maintenance suits, some of them opened the hatch door without pressurization, causing an unimaginable leakage and explosion in the entire cabin - thanks to them, I had to stop working and repairing until everything returned to normal. Fortunately, I asked the lawyer that this situation was not an industrial injury and no compensation was required."


    "In theory, the hatch door cannot be opened without pressurization."


    "I don''t know this either, maybe it''s broken down somewhere."


    "Is there any video from that time?"


    "certainly."


    The captain nodded. "This is evidence that the company will seek compensation for future compensation."


    As he spoke, the captain came to the terminal and opened it. Soon, a picture appeared in front of Duanmuhuai. In the image, in the locker room, a group of miners were changing the maintenance suits. Then, after changing the maintenance suits, one of them slowly walked to the hatch door as if he was sleepwalking, and then reached out to press the button. Immediately followed by a harsh alarm, other workers who were changing maintenance uniforms also saw this scene. They either shouted to stop the guy or hurriedly put on the maintenance uniforms.


    Unfortunately, it was too late. Just the next moment, the entire hatch door suddenly exploded, and then the workers were sucked out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    "etc."


    Duanmuhuai reached out and pointed at the screen - a foot could be vaguely seen among the messy debris.


    “Are there any survivors?”


    "Yes, he is Keller, the foreman of this class, but he is already crazy."


    "Crazy?"


    "Yes."


    The captain nodded.


    "He wore maintenance suits at that time, so he escaped, but after we rescued him, he kept talking nonsense. The doctor thought he might have been too stimulated, causing mental disorders, and injected him with a sedative. But the effect was not ideal..."


    "I want to see him."


    Duanmu Huai put down the report.


    "Where is he?"


    “In the custody room in the medical district… I will send someone to take you there.”


    Soon, a person who looked like the captain''s deputy appeared in front of Duanmuhuai. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Duanmuhuai more. He just took them to the depths of the battleship. After taking the elevator through several areas, the group came to the medical area.


    Here, Duanmu Huai finally met the man whom the captain said was crazy.


    At this moment, he was locked in a room, his whole body was tied tightly with restraints, and even his mouth was blocked.


    "What''s going on?"


    Duanmuhuai looked at the doctor next to him, who spread his hands helplessly.


    "This is not my idea, but he is so crazy. Since he regained consciousness, he has been crazy about committing suicide. Although I tried to use large doses of sedatives and drugs, the effects were very limited. In the end, I had to restrain him like this and send him back when the transport ship came a few days later."


    "I want to talk to him."


    Duanmuhuai said as he pushed open the door and walked in, then came to the tied man, and then he stretched out his hand to open the belt - but at the moment when the man''s belt was restrained from leaving, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed Duanmuhuai''s arm tightly. This scene also made An and Gureya take a step back in fear. But Duanmu Huai didn''t care at all, he just stared into the man''s eyes.


    That was turbid, red, and fragmented eyes.


    "Tell me, what did you encounter?"


    Duanmu Huai stared at the man and asked coldly, then he took off the stuff in the other person''s mouth. At the same time, a shrill scream rose up from the ground, almost everyone could not help but tremble. However, the next moment, the cold, destructive and fearful aura that erupted from Duanmu Huai''s body completely stopped the man''s wailing.


    "Answer my question, what have you encountered!"


    Duanmu Huai stared at the man fiercely, and the man''s originally turbid eyes seemed to slowly return to his awakening.


    "No, no, it''s not my fault! It''s not my fault! I don''t know why it turned out like this! Kyle is abnormal. He has been abnormal since he started working that morning. He seems to have had some nightmare and is confused. I originally asked him to rest and not to schedule a shift! But he refused. He said he was going out. He said someone outside was calling him...I don''t know what he was saying! I didn''t expect him to do that! And, and..."


    Speaking of this, the man''s expression became more and more distorted and frightened. His hands grabbed his head tightly, and even scratched blood marks.


    "After that, I heard it too, heard it! It is also inviting me out! No, I don''t want to go out! Don''t...!"


    The man''s **** face was twisted and ferocious, while Duanmu Huai continued to stare at him.


    "Who asked you to go out, what did you hear?"


    “………………”


    This time, the man did not answer. His eyes, which were gradually returning to clear light, seemed to become turbid again at this moment.


    Then, the man opened his mouth.


    However, what emerged from the mouth was not the man''s hysterical voice, but the sound of a crisp, tender girl.


    "Flash and shine, the sky is full of little stars..."


    The girl''s singing echoed throughout the room, making people''s hair stand on its back. Then the next moment, the man stared at Duanmuhuai, showing a strange smile, and then his neck suddenly tilted - he lost his breath.


    “…………”


    Duanmu Huai silently threw away the body in his hand and stared at the infinite starry sky outside the window.


    “It seems we are in trouble.”


    Then he spoke.
