Chapter 94

"Yes, the celestial phenomena changed significantly last night, I felt something in my heart and didn't sleep all night."

"But, just now, this feeling disappeared."

"It seems that nothing happened, heh, inexplicable."

After speaking, Dan Heng closed his eyes to rest, and in Bai Bai Xuan's "healing aura," he slowly recovered his energy.

Added 2K, going to sleep first.

Seeking subscription!

Just like that, the two chatted for a while, though they didn't say too much.

After all, Dan Heng’s style was just like that—tepid toward everyone, as if worried that getting too close would bring some calamity upon the other person.

Toward Bai Bai Xuan, this individual suspected to be an Emanator or an even higher-level existence, his attitude had softened slightly.

But it still couldn't be called warm.

He opened his eyes, his cyan pupils shifting as he looked at Bai Bai Xuan:

"Talking to you always gives me the illusion of having returned to the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, even though I have been fleeing, trying to stay far away from there."

"I also often wonder if you come from another Luofu Luofu Xianzhou ship."

"But in some details, you are very different from the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people, for instance, your choice of clothing."

*You guess whether I have the illusion of returning to ancient times when I talk to you. Once we reach the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou later, that will probably be like coming home...* Bai Bai Xuan inwardly muttered, his face maintaining a smile.

He raised a hand to rub his temple, leaning against the window with a smile, his gaze passing through the glass to land on the piles of supplies and cargo on the platform.

"In the universe, any miracle can happen, can't it?"

He paused.

"Just like you come from the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou 'Luofu', I actually come from the Shenzhou 'Huaxia'."

Bai Bai Xuan hadn't intended to delve into this topic, but a decent setting suddenly popped into his mind, and since this setting really had potential, he decided to play along.

If he happened to encounter a Shenzhou with the same name later, there would be no problem at all;

If not, he could just dismantle an uninhabited planet, renovate it to act as the Shenzhou, and find some "Fictional Historians" to help tamper with history.

"Then I understand."

Dan Heng realized.

"Luofu Luofu Xianzhou", "Shenzhou"...

Judging from the names alone, the two might have a very deep connection.

In just a few words, Dan Heng had analogized a force called the Shenzhou Alliance, modeled after the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou Alliance.

But clearly, the development of the Shenzhou was certainly not as advanced as the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, otherwise, it wouldn't be so obscure.

Could it be that there was more than one fleet seeking the medicine of immortality back then?

When did they set sail?

Did they find other forms of immortality?

Were there new fleets that set out afterward?

Which Aeon did they worship?

Various questions swirled in Dan Heng's mind, stirring his long-dormant curiosity.

Bai Bai Xuan continued to speak:

"Although in terms of appearance and lifespan, my ancestors were no different from the Shenzhou people, we are ultimately two civilizations of different origins."

"And our home planet joined the Shenzhou and roamed the cosmos with it, purely by coincidence."

Home planet... roaming...?

Could it be that Bai Bai Xuan's ancestors were crazy enough to turn an entire planet into a starship?

He had initially thought Bai Bai Xuan was of the same origin as the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people, but now this hidden detail had been revealed.

Dan Heng was immediately intrigued, cupping his chin as he listened intently.

"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, our ancestors lived in a star system called the Solar System, and our home planet was its third planet."

"The ancient people lived and multiplied on this planet, built a civilization, and touched the threshold of interstellar civilization early on."

"And just at this time, people discovered in horror that an apocalyptic disaster was about to descend—the sun would undergo a helium flash within a few hundred years."

"So, my ancestors installed over two thousand planetary engines on the home planet, pushed the entire planet out of the star system, and began wandering between the stars."

"After that, it was nothing more than the Shenzhou discovering this strange planet along the way, establishing contact with it, providing a certain amount of support, transforming the home planet into a giant starship similar to the Shenzhou, and finally forming a fleet with the Shenzhou to continue drifting into the deep void."

After Bai Bai Xuan finished speaking, Dan Heng was silent for several seconds.

Dan Heng had only seen story plots like this in novels and fairy tales.

The story Bai Bai Xuan told was, compared to those, even more extraordinary.

However.

At first glance, it sounded absurd, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to have a certain logic.

After finishing the story and fleshing out the persona, Bai Bai Xuan patted Dan Heng on the shoulder and waved his hand:

"I'll go take a tour of the space station first to see if they need any help."

"By the way, have Pom-Pom save a portion of breakfast for me; I'll eat it when I get back."

On the Astral Express, Pom-Pom meticulously prepared breakfast every morning; if anyone didn't eat it, the conductor would feel their efforts had been wasted and would become depressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Bai Xuan took a step, and his figure vanished.

Dan Heng looked at the spot where Bai Bai Xuan had disappeared and shook his head.

He was finding this person's thoughts and ideas increasingly difficult to fathom.

Just as he felt a sense of emotion, the light screen that had been silent all night lit up once again.

Two lines of large text appeared:

[Foundation Top 100 Anomalies Countdown!]

[Rank 96: SCP-082, The Cannibal "Fernand"!]

A moment later, the text gradually faded.

The text gradually faded.

Replacing it was a somewhat luxurious room, piled high with all kinds of clothing.

There were casual clothes, military uniforms, clown costumes, and women's clothing, among others.

And in the middle of the piles of clothes stood a man dressed in fine robes, wearing a red cape and a golden crown.

He looked just like a king who had walked out of ancient times.

However, when he turned around, his extremely low attractiveness startled many people who had just woken up.

He had a slightly pointed bald head, a large and round jaw, a bulbous nose, and sunken, pitch-black eyes; his face was covered in spots, and he had sharp teeth.

Moreover, his physique was highly unreasonable: he was about 2.4 meters tall, his forearms were about 71 centimeters in circumference, and his knuckles were about 30 centimeters wide.

"F*ck! Playing this stuff first thing in the morning to wake everyone up, huh? I naively thought it would be something fun like the side stories."

"Personal opinion, the ugliness of this thing could rival the Old Man."

"Why does the Foundation provide such good living conditions for this thing? I cannot understand."

Amidst the sparse barrage of comments, the Foundation's file was released.

[Anomaly: The Cannibal "Fernand"]

[Item #: SCP-082]

[Object Class: Euclid]

[Description: SCP-082 is genetically a human; however, through certain means, SCP-082 has grown to a massive size.]

[SCP-082 always attempts to joke and is often very polite to people, always inviting them to dinner. However, invitees should be aware that SCP-082 has the ability to attack and consume others at any time.]

[SCP-082 always apologizes for interrupting someone's conversation by biting off their head and for making a mess of his room, citing his lack of manners.]

[SCP-082's jaw is strong enough to crush bone, and he seems to love skulls. Aggressive behavior appears to be random and without motive—whether SCP-082 has eaten recently has no effect on this cannibalistic hunger.]

[SCP-082 cannot distinguish reality from the novels he reads or the TV shows/movies he watches.]

As the document appeared.

The camera gradually zoomed out, and the audience finally understood what this room, as magnificent as a palace, really was!
