Chapter 193 A Scheme Across a Civilization
Lin Xiaohe's intuition told her that she could find a way to crack the Dead Hand system here.

She calmed herself and let the body numbered 741 follow the cheerful boy into the depths of the base.

They arrived at a circular observation platform, with a transparent, high-intensity energy barrier beneath their feet.

The platform is suspended in the center of an enormous cavity.

The cheerful boy explained, "This is our planetary furnace. The small star system we've chosen is in its infancy. Thousands of kilometers beneath our feet, there's a newly born small star that's burning intensely."

The cheerful boy opened the control panel directly in front of him, and a holographic star map spanning the entire field of vision was displayed before everyone's eyes.

On the holographic star map, one can view every detail of the target star system at will. Several AI operation interfaces made of pure energy float in the air, waiting for instructions.

The cheerful boy shifted his gaze to the underground star.

The enormous energy conduits, like the roots of a world tree, pierce the surface of the star, drawing infinite energy to make its light exhibit controlled, regular pulses, like the beating of a gigantic heart.

Lin Xiaohe's pupils contracted. This energy conduit was so similar to the one she had seen on the planet Xilos! Only it was more regular and controllable.

Lin Xiaohe scanned her surroundings, trying to remember every detail in order to find a breakthrough.

The walls of the cavity were covered with densely packed, layered energy focusing arrays and superconducting rings, which shimmered with a cold blue-white light.

The cheerful boy's tone was slightly reserved, but he couldn't hide his pride: "Respected Star Messengers, this is our [Purger]. It is currently one-third complete, making it the fastest progressing project."

The leader of the Starstalker team arrived at the center of the control panel, where there was a separate cylindrical platform without any complicated buttons: "Is this your final authorization center?"

"Yes, it's not finished yet."

The cheerful boy was a little embarrassed, because this was the biggest flaw of the "Purger".

The Cleaner has no suitable crew!

Theoretically, the operator should have a direct neural connection with the "Purger," becoming one with the control console, and using their body and brain to run the "Purger"!
However, no one can do that.

The White Palace once attempted to construct a brain matrix, but the moment it connected to the control console, hundreds of brains exploded.

Some researchers have suggested using artificial intelligence to manage the system, but it's too late now.

Since the dawn of civilization, they have believed that all things have a spirit, including artificial intelligence!
Once artificial intelligence develops self-awareness, it is a terrifying and uncontrollable thing. Therefore, in the process of developing technology, they have imposed many restrictions on artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence without self-awareness is incapable of undertaking heavy responsibilities.

The cheerful boy looked at the Suixing envoy with burning passion! The development path of the Suixing civilization was completely different from theirs; it was said that the Suixing people possessed extremely strong spiritual power!

Although the cheerful boy didn't understand what mental power was, he believed that the Star Messenger would definitely have a way to solve the problem of the [Purger]!
As expected, the leader of the Suixing envoy team spoke up, saying, "Before we came, we discussed it with your council of elders and agreed to help you cultivate suitable talent. After all, we would only feel at ease if such a planetary-level weapon was in the hands of your own people."

The cheerful boy was deeply moved.

Guangzhou civilization is indeed the friendliest civilization!
May our friendship last forever!

The messengers from Suixing exchanged glances and smiled, saying, "Friendship lasts forever."

Following this, the base conducted a comprehensive screening of all personnel, selecting a total of 15 candidates, one of whom was number 741.

The base leadership has high hopes for the candidates.

Looking at these young and innocent faces, he said solemnly, "As we all know, after countless scientists have demonstrated, every time human civilization develops to a certain level, it will face a mass extinction. Before us, there have been 5 known extinctions."

"Perhaps this has happened more than five times before, but I hope this cycle will stop here! This crisis of human civilization's extinction comes from beyond our borders. Those terrifying enemies are eyeing us covetously."

"The Cleanser is one of the superweapons created by our entire civilization! It will be a vital bulwark protecting our civilization! We hope that you will become the pilots of the Cleanser!"

The 15 candidates, filled with passion, pointed to the sky and swore an oath to fight for the protection of civilization.

The messengers from Suixing imparted all their knowledge of mental cultivation techniques, and the 15 candidates made rapid progress.

Progress on item number 741 is mediocre, neither outstanding nor lagging behind.

The leader of the Suixing Envoy team spoke with number 741: "Do you know why your mental strength has been unable to break through?" Number 741 lowered his head, his eyes red.

The leader of the Suixing envoys pointed a finger at his chest, his cold gaze seemingly piercing through the body of number 741, and met Lin Xiaohe's eyes: "Because your subconscious is resisting us."

"If you can't convince your subconscious, you'll never become the controller of the Purifier."

Lin Xiaohe's eyes darkened. Was the other person's question directed at 741 or at her?

Is he hoping to cultivate their mental training methods himself?
Lin Xiaohe definitely wouldn't cultivate. This place was too strange; she didn't trust these so-called Suixing envoys.

After that conversation, no one came looking for number 741 again.

The days that followed were peaceful and harmonious.

They are friendly and helpful, without any backstabbing or infighting, and are wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting and strengthening civilization.

The planet's environment is more like a natural oxygen bar, with a temperature and humidity even more comfortable than on Earth.

If Lin Xiaohe hadn't been tricked before and hadn't always maintained a sense of vigilance, she would have long since been assimilated by this wonderful feeling and believed that she was just a subconscious mind numbered 741.

It is unclear how much time has passed, but of the 15 candidates, 14 have passed the assessment, leaving only candidate number 741 who has yet to pass.

The cheerful boy was transferred to another planet to serve as the controller. Before leaving, he bid farewell to number 741: "The messengers said that your subconscious does not trust them."

Number 741 pursed her lips tightly, like a stubborn little donkey.

The cheerful boy reached out and ruffled the hair of student number 71, laughing, "Don't be sad. Even if you graduate now, you're still a backup candidate. Haha, such an important task is of course for your senior to do!"

He sighed softly: "It's normal that you don't trust them. We don't want to hand over the future of civilization to aliens either. But, there's nothing we can do, the enemy is too powerful... Number 741, take care."

Number 741 watched the boy leave, and the entire base seemed to empty out.

One by one, the Star Messengers departed, leaving only the leader on the Cleaner.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, day after day.

War raged across the star system. The base's guards were urgently redeployed.

The situation is becoming increasingly urgent.

The enemy is more powerful than expected. The Elders have issued the latest instructions: fully activate planetary-level weapons!
Number 741 was led to the control panel. She looked around blankly and finally spoke her first words: "I...I don't know how."

"It's alright." The leader of the Suixing envoys hugged her from behind and sat down with her at the control panel. His cold voice was like candy coated with poison.

"I am with you."

In an instant, Lin Xiaohe's sixth sense went off like crazy, and an unprecedented sense of crisis swept over her.

Lin Xiaohe resolutely wanted to ascend to a higher dimension and break free from the constraints of her physical body.

But to her horror, she discovered that she couldn't get out!
Thousands of thin white threads emerged from the control panel and pierced Lin Xiaohe and the leader of the Suixing Envoy team!
The white filaments, as if possessing their own life, wrapped them up completely, forming a giant cocoon.

Every cell in Lin Xiaohe's body was screaming for danger, and a long sigh reached her ears: "I've finally waited for you."

　I really like the lyrics of "The Ambitious One".

　　That which cannot be tamed or contained is the blade in my eyes.

　　If the world can't tolerate me, then I'll pierce it... My asceticism, my pain, will eventually turn around and praise me, you ambitious one!

　　The lyrics are quite powerful.

　　Haha, I'm already imagining this song as background music, depicting Lin Xiaohe wreaking havoc in the universe.
