Star Iron: Capture the Black Tower, or be conquered by her!

Above the wasteland of Azholle is permafrost covered by remaining frost and snow.

This city closest to the North Pole is worthy of its name as a permanently frozen city.

Although after experiencing the ice and snow in Belloberg, the severe cold here can only be regarded as a cold wind.

On this trip, in addition to Lu Huai and Heita, four people from the Black Tower Research Institute, including Dorothy, Chang Geng, Schrödinger and Boe, accepted the invitation to accompany them.

Dorothy didn't want to go at first. She thought it was really unsightly. The dean and Lu Huai went abroad to do research together. Why was she fooling around?

As a result, she became angry when she heard that there were three people besides herself.

Decided to become one of the members who have no vision.

About five kilometers away from Azholle Temporary Research Institute is the place where the meteorite fell.

It is also where the [Star Core] is.

"Currently, a small number of comatose staff have woken up. According to them, they heard strange noises when they were near the meteorite."

The dean of the Supreme Academy of Sciences personally led Lu Huai and his party while explaining the situation here.

"According to what they said, it seemed to be the murmur of some kind of creature. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the cave. The sound waves hit the rock wall and reverberated strongly."

"The unique ability of the star core." Schneider shook his head and sighed, "It knows very well that the civilization of a planet is established by the highly intelligent organic or inorganic creatures born on it, and it also knows very well how to make it collapse."

"But the strange thing is that when I came here before, I used tools to detect the activity of this star core, and the results showed that it is in a dormant state."

"Sleep?" Lu Huai frowned, "What does this mean?"

"That is to say, its current energy will not leak out, and the internal entropy value is in a static state. This is good news."

"Because in this state, the Antimatter Legion cannot know the exact location of this star core, and will not set foot on the Azure Star in a short time."

At this point, Schneider was a little confused; "Blocking the star core is a very difficult technology, but this star core actually sleeps on its own? I have never seen this happen before."

Lu Huai was silent for a moment and chuckled.

"But that's a good thing, isn't it?"

After taking a look at Heita, who was wearing thick winter clothes next to him, Lu Huai felt a little more at ease this time.

The star core is dormant, and the antimatter army will not arrive so soon.

Maybe the disaster he thought of at the beginning was just unfounded?

In fact, this memory has a fairly satisfactory outcome?

While Lu Huai was silent, the group had already arrived outside the blockade at the fall point.

"That's it." Albert pointed to the sinkhole not far away. A broken meteorite was in the center, and within the cracked rock outside the sky, there was a faint light blue light flickering faintly.

Standing behind Lu Huai and Heita, Schrödinger and others quickly took out the shooting tools they carried and pressed the shutter on the existence in the distance that was currently beyond their recognition.

"Unfortunately, we have not yet succeeded in obtaining a sample, and research on it has been stagnant." Albert lamented.

When did the Supreme Academy of Sciences of the League of Nations ever encounter such a setback? This kind of thing actually has to be resolved by the Black Tower Research Institute in the end.

Although he knew that as a scholar, the entire Azure Star was probably far from the Black Tower, but Albert still felt that his face was dull.

"The information doesn't matter, the company should have a lot of it." Lu Huai glanced at Schneider.

"The basic concepts are explained in detail in the Galaxy Security Manual. If you need an in-depth research report, I can just apply on the internal network." Schneider responded.

"Thank you very much. Dean of the Black Tower is very interested in the star core. I will trouble you for the information."

"Yes, Black Tower."

Lu Huai said casually.

However, there was no response from Black Tower.

Sensing something strange, Lu Huai turned his head and saw Heita standing quietly beside him, his purple eyes hidden under the goggles staring directly in the direction of the star core without saying a word.

"Black Tower? What's wrong?"

Lu Huai stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Heita. At this moment, Heita's eyes flickered slightly and he turned his head to look at Lu Huai.

"Didn't you hear that?"

"what?"

"Someone is talking."

Heita turned his head and looked at Chang Geng and others behind him. At this moment, they seemed to be waking up from a dream, looking at each other in confusion and panic.

"Just... I seemed to hear something just now?"

"But I can't hear what is being said, I just think the voice sounds familiar..."

"Ah, not sure."

Schrödinger, Chang Geng, Dorothy and Boe were all puzzled and looked very ugly.

"Didn't hear clearly? It's time for your ears to be repaired."

Heita snorted lightly.

"Did you hear that?" Lu Huai leaned down, his expression a little solemn, "What did you hear?"

Black Tower's sight fell on the star core.

"There was something in that place talking to me, telling me to get over there."

"Say it will grant one of my wishes."

His eyes were lowered coldly, and after a long time, Heita revealed a strange sneer.

"You know what that sound is like?"

Turning his head, Heita looked at Lu Huai, whose pupils were trembling slightly.

"It sounds exactly like me."

"really interesting."

……

After returning to the temporary research institute, Lu Huai said that he would stop this inspection and would take Heita out of here soon.

I thought Heita would object, but surprisingly she said it didn't matter.

Seeing that the Black Tower had agreed to return, Dorothy, Schrödinger and Boe also decided to accompany them.

Chang Geng chose to stay. He wanted to see if he could make a breakthrough in the research of this extraterrestrial thing.

Originally Lu Huai didn't want him to stay, but Chang Geng's attitude was very determined. After thinking about it, according to Schneider, the star core was temporarily dormant, he acquiesced.

That night, Lu Huai took Heita back to Gorse on a special plane.

After returning, Schneider sent over information about the star core. Black Tower seemed to be very fond of this pile of data, and even the computer performance hypothesis and Spark model conjecture that were currently in progress were suspended.

Moreover, the topic of the wedding dress mentioned before was never mentioned again.

Lu Huai felt a little uneasy when he looked at Heita who was fascinated by it, but if he thought about it carefully, wasn't that what she was supposed to be like?

Moreover, the star core was still dormant and was taken away by the Black Tower without touching it. There would be no accidents.

The next few days also verified Lu Huai's guess. Except for the slight increase in the research time of the Black Tower, the rest of the daily life did not change much.

Lu Huai originally thought that this matter would just go away.

Until one morning a few days later...

In the morning, Lu Huai was cooking in the kitchen, and Heita, who stayed up late at night, was also staying in bed.

An ordinary day was interrupted by a sharp and clear knock on the door.

"I'm very sorry to bother you so early, Dr. Lu."

Opening the door, Lu Huai looked at the serious-looking detectives outside the door, and his heart sank slightly.

"Everyone, is something wrong?"

"Miss Dorothy is a researcher at the Black Tower Research Institute, right?" the leading policeman asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

After receiving a positive answer, the other party lowered his head and raised the transparent evidence bag in his hand, and the bag contained a photo.

Lu Huai couldn't see what the specific content of the photo was for a while, but his eyes were obscured by the dazzling blood red and pale white mixed in between.

"Miss Dorothy was shot in the office of the Black Tower Research Institute, Dr. Lu."

"I'm sorry but I hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
