Do you think the space station should be deserted?

Jiang Jiu shrugged and turned to walk over to the genius he had been watching for quite some time.

"After all, they are all scientific geniuses, so it's normal for it to be a bit quiet, just like you, Ruan Mei."

Nguyen Mai shook her head.

"Black Tower isn't aloof at all; you have too much prejudice against researchers."

Looking at Ruan Mei's calm profile, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but think of the strange little pastries she made.

"It's not exactly prejudice, is it? There are so many talented people in the club, how many of them would be interested in things outside of their own research?"

Nguyen Mai did not refute.

Because besides the Black Tower, she couldn't seem to think of a second one.

"Oh, you're back?"

The Black Tower doll had somehow ended up leaning against a doorframe not far away, arms crossed, with an expression that suggested it was enjoying the spectacle even more.

Jiang Jiu tried to recall, but couldn't remember there being any puppets here before.

He recalled that the reason there were so many Black Tower puppets on the space station was because Black Tower was too lazy to manipulate the puppets to walk, so he placed quite a few in various corners.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tease himself.

"Isn't this the Black Tower? You've finally decided to make your puppet walk?"

"That's not the point. The point is, I've found the exact coordinates. Come over here, and you, Ruan Mei, come with me."

After saying that, without waiting for a reply from either of them, Little Black Tower's eyes darkened, and he went offline.

Okay, okay... I just wanted to let you know.

Jiang Jiu didn't waste any words, turning to look at Ruan Mei: "Shall we go? Ruan, the great genius."

Ruan Mei didn't move. She looked into Jiang Jiu's eyes and asked seriously, "Are you holding a grudge?"

"What grudge?"

Ruan Mei shook her head: "Let's go."

Jiang Jiu found it absurd; the thought processes of geniuses were indeed much stranger than those of ordinary people.

At the very least, he's a little behind.

Arriving at Lady Black Tower's secret base, Black Tower stood in front of the supercomputer, arms crossed, looking at the data on the screen.

"Come here, we found it."

Jiang Jiu walked to the black tower and asked curiously, "So fast? What exactly did you find?"

A fourth mirror appeared just in time.

Black Tower chuckled softly: "This little memory thief has quite a lot going on in his head. It seems many memory thieves are very interested in 'Onfaros.'"

“I searched through her consciousness and found some keywords.”

"The Eternal Land, the Land of Rejection, the Private Treasury of Memory Court..."

She tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and a punctuation mark lit up in the Milky Way on the screen, displaying its detailed coordinates.

The punctuation mark is located at the position of "Onpharos".

"As expected of the Black Tower..." Jiang Jiu exclaimed sincerely, "I thought you were just looking for coordinates, but you've actually found out almost everything about Yi Ting's purpose?"

Black Tower gave a soft snort.

"It took this genius so long to find just a coordinate?"

Jiang remained noncommittal.

What is difficult for ordinary people may be very easy for Black Tower.

Black Tower continued.

"Unfortunately, we can't find any useful clues about this mysterious Onfaros from the outside, so I plan to just pay him a visit."

Ruan Mei stepped forward and listened quietly for a long time before finally asking a question.

"Black Tower, you're going to Onpharos in person?"

Chapter 23 Let Me Be Your Anchor

"Yes, this place is hidden. You can't find anything by studying it from the outside."

She chuckled softly, as if she had found a new little toy.

"They've made it all so mysterious; anyone who didn't know better would think there's some big secret hidden inside."

Ruan Mei thought for a moment and then reminded him.

"For Yi Ting to pay such attention to this place, it must be extraordinary. Shouldn't you make more preparations? What if it's dangerous?"

It was painstakingly hidden inside the scepter, and the traces were deliberately erased.

Simple data intrusions cannot breach firewalls.

The contents inside must be extraordinary.

Black Tower slightly curled her lips. The more mysterious it was, the more curious she became, and the more she wanted to understand it.

This is intellect, this is genius.

"Don't worry, of course I've thought of that. Of course I can't go there in person."

She gestured to the fourth mirror.

"See? I can use the Black Tower Magic Mirror to perform mental warp. In theory, I can warp my mental body to every corner of the galaxy."

The fourth mirror proudly stood up, as if it wanted to write the words "I am awesome" on its surface.

"but......"

Ruan Mei pondered, "Doesn't warp jump require an anchor point? That area doesn't seem to be covered by the company's network."

"That's the second question."

The Black Tower didn't think it couldn't find a solution; it just needed a little time.

“Is the anchor point... really that important?” Jiang Jiu asked.

Hei Ta glanced at Jiang Jiu lightly.

“Of course it’s important.” She tapped the control panel lightly with her fingertips, and the holographic star map spun in front of them. “Mental warp is like building a bridge in the void; both ends of the bridge must have stable supports.”

"My consciousness can traverse the sea of ​​stars, but it needs a precise coordinate, a specific signal anchor point that can pinpoint the interior of Onpharos."

"Normally, this beacon is a pre-deployed instrument, or a node connected to the company network, but Onfaros..."

Jiang Jiu followed the Black Tower's gaze to the dim and lifeless area on the star map. That area seemed to have been deliberately erased, leaving no trace in the Milky Way.

Conventional methods cannot directly locate it.

The Black Tower can locate the scepter, but it cannot directly locate Onpharos.

These are not the same issue at all.

Jiang Jiu stared at the dim, lifeless star field for a few seconds in silence, then asked softly, "What if... a person, without any protection, could directly penetrate the interior of Onpharos with their soul? Is that possible?"

It does not probe Onpharos in the form of a spiritual entity.

Instead, the person can enter directly.

Black Tower frowned slightly, his tone displeased: "We have no idea what's inside. If we go in ourselves, unpredictable things could easily happen, which is very dangerous."

"Moreover, according to you, once you're in, it's not easy to get out."

"I don't care, Black Tower. Can you do it?" Jiang Jiu looked into Black Tower's eyes and said, word by word.

“Let me in. Inside Onpharos, I can be your anchor point.”

Black Tower narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Jiu with a scrutinizing gaze.

The person in front of her had aroused her curiosity more than once.

why?

No reason, no connection.

Why would he care so much about a place that is disconnected from the entire galaxy and unknown to anyone?

"You want to enter Onphalus?"

Black Tower crossed his arms, his tone carrying a hint of playful inquiry.

"Do I need to remind you? Becoming an anchor point means that your soul, your very existence, will be bound to that ethereal place. It's not as simple as a bad phone signal."

She stepped forward and tapped the screen twice.

“In the unknown, once an anchor point is formed, it becomes the only signpost leading to Onfaros. If anything goes wrong outside, or if some kind of trap appears inside Onfaros... you will be the first to be affected.”

"In other words, once you lose all contact, your consciousness may be trapped there forever, or worse, become a beacon attracting unknown dangers."

But Jiang Jiu just smiled gently.

He met Black Tower's scrutinizing gaze, his eyes showing no fear, only a hint of... anticipation?

“I don’t care,” Jiang Jiu repeated.

Black Tower chuckled lightly: "Madman."

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"Hey~ It's not that crazy. I still have a lot of faith in Ms. Black Tower. What you said are the worst possible outcomes, and the probability isn't that high."

Heita was too lazy to bother with Jiang Jiu.

She crossed her arms and tapped her fingers lightly on her arms.

On the holographic star map, the dim area representing Onpharos resembles a Möbius strip, exuding an alluring yet dangerous aura.

A few seconds later, she suddenly chuckled, her laughter carrying approval and a hint of excitement at encountering an interesting challenge.

“Very good, you have guts and some brains; you know this is the optimal solution.” She turned to the control panel, her hands flying across the keyboard again, so fast they left afterimages. “Since you’ve volunteered to be this 'beacon,' then I won’t hold back.”
