Chapter 1468 Scepter and Incense Burner

Although the composition of recyclers is complex, they are all a group of adventurous guys who believe that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

Ordinary civilian ships would not dare to explore the ghost ship casually. At most, they would mark the coordinates and report back.

But exploring ghost ships is almost standard practice for recyclers, and Alyssa will not give up the opportunity to solve the mystery.

Everyone pointed their guns at every corpse that floated by, fearing that he would suddenly turn into an undead creature and move, but this did not happen.

It stands to reason that with such high levels of negative energy, undead creatures will definitely be born. Alyssa even thinks it is normal for one or two ghost zombies to appear.

But there is nothing, which is abnormal.

With doubts and confusion, everyone finally floated to the location where the blue light was emitted.

There was a small open space in the container, with at least dozens of people gathered there. The surrounding containers seemed to have opened their arms, embracing them.

Of course, these people were also corpses, without any signs of life.

It felt like they knew they were not going to survive, so they all gathered here and shut down their life support systems to avoid suffering a slow death.

The blue light that was seen before was on the floor among these people. There was a ball of something that emitted a dim blue light, like a flame.

"Eternal Flame, I should have thought of this thing earlier."

Eternal Flame is a spell. It is not as hot as fire and the light it emits is very dim. Its only advantage is that it lasts for a very long time. Once cast, it can continue to glow for several years.

Judging from the situation at the scene, when the ship had an accident, all the crew members ran into the cargo hold. Later, due to the failure of the reactor and the exhaustion of the magic power of the energy storage pool, the airlock door of the cargo hold could not be opened. In the absence of light, they used the eternal flame for lighting.

but……

This isn't suicide, is it?
Obviously, there is more than just a huge airlock door to enter the cargo hold. Usually, there are at least two large doors in the cargo hold to facilitate the handling of cargo, and at least four small doors to facilitate the entry and exit of crew members.

It is true that large airlock doors cannot be opened without energy, but small doors are purely mechanical structures and can be opened by turning the door handle.

The equipment on this ship is almost all intact, some are even new. Even if some emergency occurs, people should not just wait to die without trying to save themselves.

Alyssa originally thought that she would get answers when she came here, but now it seems that there are more questions.

She took out a scanner and scanned the corpses. After confirming that they were just corpses and not undead creatures, Alyssa let everyone walk through the corpses.

This posed a new test to the soldiers' psychological endurance. They were all working on the warship. No matter how fierce the war was, it was unlikely that they would see a large number of corpses.

Especially the people of the Glow Ion Hermitage, because of their high rate of mechanization transformation, they no longer look like human beings. Walking among such a group of corpses, with corpses floating everywhere, it is exciting to think about it.

Alyssa was the calmest. It was very common for recyclers to look for valuables in piles of corpses. If necessary, Alyssa had experience in digging out information hidden in dentures from a corpse's mouth.

So rest assured, they are no threat.

Everyone floated among the corpses, and Alyssa noticed at a glance that one of these corpses was very special.

He held the incense burner in one hand and the golden scepter in the other, and even death did not let him let go. This operation looked like a ceremony to appease the machine soul before death, but Alyssa remembered that Li Chengxi once said that the Glow Ion Hermitage was his people, but they worshipped the wrong holy emblem, so Li Chengxi could not contact them directly.

If what Li Chengxi said was true, then these people did not hold a ceremony to appease the machine spirit to save themselves before they died, but instead prayed to the holy emblem, hoping that a true God could help them.

Given the level of piety displayed by the Glowing Ion Priory to the Deep Diving Devil, they would certainly not trouble the god they worship with anything they could handle themselves.

They must have encountered something beyond their capabilities.

Thinking of this, Alyssa gestured to the people around her, asking them to be alert, and she floated forward a short distance and grabbed the corpse holding the incense burner and scepter.

An extremely cold feeling came through the fingers, but it seemed to be just an illusion. After all, the heavy protective clothing could block the cold.

Alyssa looked at the man carefully, but found no more clues, so she had to reach out and pull the implant out of the socket behind the man's head. Perhaps when she returned to the Swan, she could extract some useful information from it.

At this point, Alyssa should have been satisfied. Regardless of how these people died, at least it was all over. Alyssa now returned to the Swan and organized the mechanics to adjust the reactor, as well as organize people to clean up the bodies and open the container to see what it was.

But Alyssa was inexplicably looking at the scepter and incense burner in the man's hands.

The scepter is golden, but it is not gold. It is a brass alloy with a very hard texture. The head of the scepter is shaped like a gear, and there are translucent emeralds inlaid underneath the head. It feels like the scepter itself can also be used as a melee weapon.

As for the incense burner, it is made of purple copper. Of course, it no longer emits smoke, but the hollow patterns and gold chains make it look very valuable.

Perhaps there are some secrets hidden in these things?
Don't forget, as mentioned before when we were deep diving into the devil, Alyssa's hobby is collecting sacred relics. She has a special room on the starship to store these collections, which is a whole room full of them.

So when she saw this, Alyssa's heart was moved. She stretched out her hand to move away the mechanical fingers of the corpse and snatched the scepter away.

But before she could see for herself what was wrong with the scepter, suddenly, a strong buzzing sound appeared in everyone's ears.

It did not come from the communication channel, nor from the speakers inside the protective suit. It seemed to be echoing in everyone's head, making people a little dazed.

Along with the buzzing sound, a thin film appeared.

Because the lighting was not very good, Alyssa could not see clearly, but she could indeed see a layer of film like transparent plastic cloth appear. Looking around, the film was like a cover, covering all the people and corpses.

For a moment, Alyssa thought she had triggered some magic trap, but soon she saw that the film began to break rapidly from the top.

Only then did she realize that she had not triggered a trap, but rather had lifted some spell effect that had previously been invisible to the naked eye.

"Let's go, get out of here quickly."

Grabbing the incense burner again, Alyssa signaled everyone to retreat immediately.

Of course, the soldiers had wanted to leave a long time ago, and they were quite excited to hear the order. However, before they had completely left the corpses around them, Alyssa saw that the cracking film had completely disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, a shrill roar pierced my auditory nerves, and everything in front of me began to blur. It seemed that some terrible monster had awakened...
