Alien Hotel.

Chapter 391: Sub-healthy Silence
Mo City, located near the equator of Shuji Star, is one of the few large cities located in the original habitable zone on this border planet where most of the environment is not habitable. It is also the city where it rains all year round, as pointed out by important clues dug out from the memory of the captured black-robed monk.

Hearing the guide's casual mumbling, Yu Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked curiously: "Not peaceful? What do you mean? Has the public security deteriorated?"

"It has nothing to do with public security. It's just that a lot of strange things have happened recently," the guide said casually, in a tone of a local scaring outsiders. "It is said that the number of practitioners going astray has increased sharply. People often hear or see extremely terrifying things when they are meditating or even sleeping or dreaming. Even those monks with deep Taoism skills are not immune to this... There are even rumors that some people died of fright after entering a trance. Of course, this rumor has been debunked recently."

As he said this, another guide next to him also joined in and added: "Ordinary people like us who have only learned the basic methods of drawing qi into the body and breathing to nourish the soul don't seem to be affected much... Rumor has it that this is some kind of 'heart demon plague' that only targets practitioners above a certain level. Anyway, it makes people panic."

"Widespread insanity and hallucinations?" Yu Sheng frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Xuan Che subconsciously, "And it's happening on a border planet like this..."

"What did Elder Zhenxing say?" Xuan Che took a half step forward and asked seriously.

"Elder Zhenxing? How could such a big shot have the time to pay attention to such a small matter in a city?" The guide waved his hand. "The Lord of Mo City is indeed organizing people to investigate, but I saw nothing promising in the news. The notice only reminded everyone to take precautions when meditating, to stay up late less and get angry less, and to participate less in disputes that affect the Tao heart. I think the last reminder is the most useless. The rumor makers and rumor refutators are fighting fiercely, and their Tao hearts cannot be stable..."

Yu Sheng didn't know how to respond all of a sudden: "..."

Fortunately, Xuan Che and Yuan Hao were present to participate in such topics. The two of them chatted with several guides, inquired about some recent news in Mo City, and then asked about the overall situation of Shu Ji during this period, but they did not go too in-depth or ask too many questions - after all, there was only so much information that a few ordinary people who worked as guides in the star port could grasp.

From the conversation, Yu Sheng gradually formed a general impression of the current state of this border planet——

Peaceful and ordinary, as one of the countless border planets far away from the capital Taixu Lingshu and with nothing to recommend except for a few resources, Shuji actually has no sense of existence in the entire Feiyu Star Region. It is not even an important channel for communication with the outside world - because on the "Yaolu" star, which is only 1.25 light-years away, there is a large star gate facility built more than ten years ago that directly leads to the Algrade Star Region and the "Deep Space Star Region", which almost "sucks away" all traffic.

And Shuji... just like its name, is just a quiet little place on this long border.

"Actually, this place was glorious in the past," one of the guides said with some emotion. "Back then, when there were spiritual mines here and on several nearby planets, it was very lively. Every day, countless cargo ships lined up to pass through the high orbit. In the most exaggerated solar year, 17 heavy-duty loading platforms were launched into orbit in more than 400 days... Now, there are still some spiritual mines, but most of them are not allowed to be mined. It is said that some places have been mined too much and have affected the earth veins, so they need to be protected."

At this point, the guide in the light grey Starport uniform shook his head and said, "I won't say any more. I accidentally chatted too much. You want to land directly on the planet, right? Let me check for you... Well, the berthing fee for your big ship has been paid, so you can park here without worry. Now the window to enter the atmosphere is open to all areas, but you need to register the means of transportation within the atmosphere... Shuttle or small fairy boat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Li came over excitedly: "Me, me, me!"

The guide was stunned for a moment: "...Ah?"

Hu Li ran to the side and lay down on the ground, turning into a giant nine-tailed fox. Then he ran back excitedly, using his claws to pull out the "Temporary Motorized Immortal Driving License" on his neck to show people.

"Ah, I see," the guide finally reacted and nodded to show his understanding. He then took out a magic weapon that looked like a mirror to check the jade token on Hu Li's neck while reminding Yu Sheng as a matter of routine, "Be careful to obey traffic rules. Do not exceed the speed limit during low-altitude flight. It is forbidden to drink alcohol when using transportation in the atmosphere..."

Yu Sheng nodded as he listened, and then suddenly asked curiously, "Is it me who can't drink or is it her who can't drink?"

The guide thought for a moment and said, "...neither of you should drink."

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Hao, who was standing next to him, also stepped forward, raised his hand and waved it in the air to take out his chainsaw sword: "Register it for me too, I usually fly the sword."

The guide was stunned when he saw the immortal in front of him casually take out a chainsaw sword. For a local of Feiyu Star Region, seeing someone wielding a chainsaw sword was obviously a far more outrageous thing than someone wielding a nine-tailed fox. He took the spiritual mirror and checked for a long time before looking up uncertainly: "My immortal, your 'flying sword'... it's not a spiritual treasure, right?"

Yuan Hao didn't waste any time explaining. He just threw the chainsaw sword into the air and jumped on it and stood firmly. "Just tell me if I am flying a sword or not."

The guide's eyes twitched suddenly - as an "ordinary person", he had little experience, but as a star port employee, he had a lot of experience. With the help of the spiritual mirror, he could see at a glance that the chainsaw sword of the immortal in front of him actually had no function of a flying sword. The reason why it could be "controlled" now was mainly due to the immortal's great strength (spiritual power)...

But that’s exactly why numbers are king.

The guide quickly and honestly registered Yuan Hao Zhenren's chainsaw sword, and then registered Xuan Che's ice flying sword (this was finally a normal means of transportation), and finally completed all the signing work - and then Yu Sheng and his party directly left this orbital star port.

A huge silver-white nine-tailed fox drew a bright flame from the edge of the star port. Nine propulsion flames shone brightly in the space and flew straight to the gray-blue planet below the orbital platform.

Next to the nine-tailed fox was Yuan Hao, the Taoist master wielding a chainsaw sword.

Next to Yuan Hao was Xuan Che, the only honest kid in the team who looked somewhat normal. On the star port platform, several guides were still sighing at the flashes that were rapidly passing by in the distant space.

"As expected of the Silver Fox Immortal from Taixu Lingshu... Is this the style of the foxes on Capital Star now? They fly with such a mighty momentum, which is very different from the foxes in our local area."

"That's not right. The five-tailed golden fox that came from Taixu Lingshu a few days ago seemed quite normal. I didn't see her tail spitting fire."

"Maybe it's a fox style? After all, he has a nine-tailed beast, and anything a nine-tailed fairy does is normal."

"...Who is that person from the border? The nine-tailed silver fox obeys his orders."

"Who knows? Anyway, he has two certificates on him. The captain's certificate is signed by the director of the Special Service Bureau, Baili Qing, and the pass is signed by Yuan Ling Zhenren of Qianfeng Lingshan. I think we can't ask about this."

……

After a period of high-speed flight, the thick atmosphere of the planet Shuji became more and more eye-catching in the field of vision.

The light emitted by the orange-red star shines on the top of the silent atmosphere, sparkling in the space.

Yu Sheng could clearly feel that the number of space facilities and aircraft around Shu Ji was far less than that of Taixu Lingshu.

This is normal. After all, Taixu Lingshu is the "capital star" of the entire Feiyu star field, and this place is just a remote mining planet on the distant border that has been gradually going downhill.

But he always felt that something was wrong - as the gray-blue planet gradually enlarged in his field of vision, he increasingly felt that the planet in front of him was emitting a kind of... "weak" smell.

It's not because there are few orbital facilities in the space here, nor because it looks obviously more desolate and deserted than Taixu Lingshu - because no matter what, this is at least an ecological planet that has been fully developed. No matter how "desolate" it is, it is far more vibrant than those bare and uninhabited planets, at least its surface looks that way.

But the "vitality" that could be seen with the naked eye from space could never offset the "weakness" that Yu Sheng felt out of nowhere.

This planet is not in good shape.

Yu Sheng frowned, not knowing how to explain to others why he felt out of thin air that a planet was in a "sub-healthy" state. After a brief thought, he turned his head to look at his nephew who was sitting next to him.

Zheng Zhi was tense all over at this time, clutching a handful of fox hair tightly and not daring to move.

As an "ordinary person" who had lived obediently in Jiecheng for more than 20 years, his first space journey following a nine-tailed fox with a fire-breathing tail straight into the atmosphere might be a bit too exciting for him.

"Do you notice anything wrong?" Yu Sheng asked.

Zheng Zhi shuddered visibly, and only reacted after hearing Yu Sheng repeat it. He carefully grabbed the fox's fur and leaned over to take a look at the gray-blue planet that was approaching rapidly.

"No, I didn't see anything."

"Really..." Yu Sheng thought for a moment, and then expressed his feelings.

The result was as expected, no one could understand what that "feeling" of his was about.

But no one ignored what Yu Sheng said.

Even though it is incomprehensible, one thing is very obvious.

The "condition" of this planet seems to be a bit abnormal.
