"Villana depression?" Rong Yuan thought for a moment, but he had no impression of this disease at all. At this moment, Pea's voice came from his invisible earphone:

"I know, I know, Verana depression is a disease that was only found on the Liocastor spacecraft. It is said that it is caused by long-term exposure to cosmic ray radiation from the Eagle Nebula. The patient's blood Cells will undergo rapid apoptosis, bone marrow proliferation will be blocked, organs will fail to varying degrees, and even cells will experience irreversible collapse lesions at the later stage of development, accompanied by severe pain during the period, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Ordinary treatment equipment or Doctors can’t cure it at all. At present, there is only the possibility of cure at the headquarters of the No.12 medical department of the spaceship. More than [-]% of them are ordinary people or homeless people who have no condition for treatment."

At the same time, Todd also gave Rong Yuan a brief introduction to Verana depressive disorder, and then said: "This disease is actually a bit strange."

"I learned on the Starnet that other nebulae—such as the Helix Nebula, the Melinthian Nebula, etc., have been inhabited for a long time. Although there are people in those places who are sick because of cosmic rays, none of them are as bad as Verana. The curbs are the same, not even similar. Besides, the people who suffer from Verana depressive syndrome have no obvious commonality in various test data except that their physical functions are rapidly failing. Cause of disease. In addition, many sick people have lived inside the spaceship for a long time, and some people were even born on the spaceship, and never left the spaceship in their entire lives. If they get sick because of receiving unexplained cosmic rays, Then why didn't their family and friends who lived with them get sick? Why didn't those adventurers who explored around the Pillars of Creation all the year round get sick?"

"Secondly, I used the name of financial review to check the treatment plans and medicines of the [-]th-floor medical department for Verana's depression. I found that they used a lot of expensive nutritional solutions and supplements, although they are all good for the body stuff, but it wasn't actually invented to cure disease, and the medicine has nothing to do with morbidity. Strangely enough, some people did get cured."

"the most important is……"

Todd paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The time of each large-scale outbreak of Verana's depression basically coincides with the time of those asteroid accidents. Seven times in a row, every time."

Once or twice can be regarded as a coincidence, but seven times in a row cannot be described as a coincidence.

But this kind of thing, if it is not for internal staff like Todd to make statistics and inquiries, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice.Because although Leucas is a spaceship, there are hundreds of thousands of permanent residents who maintain the normal operation of each floor of the spaceship. Tourists and so on, the floating population can reach millions at its peak.When millions of people gather together, anything can happen, and the illness of a single person is hardly news worth paying attention to.

Therefore, the annihilation of all life on the seven asteroids, as well as the near-fatal Verana depression on Leucasau, all stem from this spaceship.Moreover, it must have been done by high-level figures on the spacecraft.

For this kind of thing to happen, as the owner and controller of the spaceship, Leuka cannot shirk the blame. Even if he did not do it, it must be the people around him, such as the four most powerful directors who are known to all.Of course, the biggest suspect was Sulfur Card.

Also, that person must have some kind of weird, supernatural ability.

In these years, Rong Yuan has met many people who can be called "superpowers". Some can discharge electricity, some can secrete venom, some can create hallucinations for others, and some can jump tens of meters high, etc. etc., but in fact these abilities beyond ordinary races are basically derived from different choices in the direction of life evolution.Those superpowers are just changes brought about by special muscles, glands, hormones, or cellular mechanisms.For example, on the earth, electric eels can emit up to [-] volts of current, fleas can jump a distance equivalent to two hundred times their body length, lighthouse jellyfish can also secrete venom, and can return to the larval stage after maturity, which is equivalent to having a "superior" ability", but it can still be explained by various scientific theories, and it is not supernatural.

The supernatural things that Rong Yuan has encountered in these years are the secret box that Paco handed over to him before he died, and the soul charm that Princess Tanata mentioned when he was in Landia. The principle of these things , materials, utility, etc., cannot be convincingly explained by any existing theory of the Milky Way. This is the supernatural.

With Rong Yuan's current ability, no scientific method can cause him a truly fatal injury.But supernatural abilities are different. Those weird and unpredictable things are likely to defeat him from a small, seemingly non-threatening angle, or take his life in sleep, or silently. Manipulating his mind and so on.Therefore, even Rong Yuan is very cautious when facing this unknown enemy, and cannot take a wrong step.

Rong Yuan said: "I want to meet Lika secretly without disturbing other people, do you have a way?"

Todd thought for a while, nodded, and shook his head again.

"Seeing Liu Kada... Liu Ka is easy, but it is also difficult. He lives on the No.18 floor, and the entire floor is his residence. After I became his confidant, I only saw him leave three times. The four of us have to go to the [-]th floor to report to work or receive orders at least once a week, if you can hide from Aoqi's eyes, it is actually very easy to meet Lika by my side."

"But the difficulty is... I can't guarantee that the [Sulka] you see is the real Sulka."

"It's been 60 years since I first met Lika, but I've never seen him come out of that black protective suit, nor have I seen his real face. Sometimes I think, maybe wearing a When he put on the clothes, he was Lika, and when he took off the clothes, he was an ordinary crew member, an honest and honest husband, or one of my inspectors."

"So, no matter who it is, as long as he is wearing that black dress and sitting in the office on the No.18 floor, then he is Lord Lika. We don't talk about it, don't question it, just obey. The only one who knows the true face of Lika Perhaps the only person is Mapu, who has followed Ryoka for the longest time, perhaps he has been by that person's side from the very beginning."

"Also, the area of ​​the [-]th floor is not smaller than any of the floors below, but the only thing we can enter is Sulka's office, and we can see a small garden through the window, the area will not exceed [-] square meters at most. No one knows what the other eighteen floors look like, and no one knows whether there are many other people living in it, everything is unknown."

"So, maybe the Lika we have been seeing is just a stand-in, the real Lika may live anywhere on the spaceship, including layer No.18, it may be in any face, any identity, I can't be sure about this. If we act rashly and find the wrong target, and alert Leoka, it will be more difficult to find the real target."

Rong Yuan naturally has a way to tell whether the person under a mask is the target he is looking for, and he can also hear that Todd's repeated emphasis on the difficulty of this matter is actually to add weight to what he is going to say next.So he just nodded and said, "I'm new here and don't know much about this place. What advice do you have?"

"Use my identity." Todd said without hesitation: "After 60 years of loyalty, they should show more trust in me. I will find a way to get some words out of Mapp's mouth, or create a situation where you can meet him alone so that you can read his memory to obtain information like just now. At the same time, I can also give you the highest authority on the Intranet of the Ministry of Supervision, and all information can be opened to you. With your identity and ability, you must be able to Make better analysis and judgment."

Rong Yuan stared at him as if he was thinking of himself wholeheartedly, and said: "But you should know, compared to them, what I know the most is definitely what you have done."

Todd said calmly, "Yes."

Rong Yuan said again: "What you did in the past... Although I only heard part of it, I still think that those crimes cannot be written off just because you repented and acted as a tainted witness. Even if those two are the leaders, But you have to pay the price."

"Yes." Todd added, "Don't worry, I have already realized something."

"You should have thought that when I came to look for you today, I didn't intend to let you go back alive. Even now, I think so too."

Rong Yuan looked directly at Todd, and slowly said: "Even if Ma Pu and the others manipulated your life, they have carefully cultivated you and given you the status of being above ten thousand people, money, beauty, power... big Isn’t that what most people pursue all their lives? Abandoning all of this and even being willing to die for the death of a childhood playmate decades ago, most people would not make this choice. Tell the two of them the truth, and then you set up a trap in the name of assisting me... After that, you will naturally gain greater trust from Liuka and Mapu, and they will definitely reward you accordingly."

"Isn't this the right choice for you?"

Facing Rong Yuan's gaze, Tod lowered his eyes, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "As you are, you must have heard of the Soul Talisman?"

Rong Yuan frowned slightly.

"I have one in my hand, and I captured it when I captured an adventure team that broke the rules of the casino." Todd raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, but there was madness in his eyes: "You can use it to manipulate me, so that I It can be guaranteed that I will never betray your will. In this case, can you trust me?"

He just discovered that his life has been manipulated by others, and free will should be his most precious thing.But he was willing to take the initiative to put the shackles around his neck again.

Rong Yuan asked softly, "Why... did you do this?"

"No reason!"

Todd looked at Rong Yuan, and smiled distortedly, his face that was always calm and even numb, finally revealed the bone-chilling hatred and ferocity!

"As long as you can bring down Mapu and Lika and let them get the sanctions applied, I'm yours! I'm willing to do anything for you, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do whatever you want, even if you let me die with them, it doesn't matter , as long as I can watch them die!"

"I have only one condition!"
