Regarding the current situation on that planet, Duanmu Huai was completely in the dark, but at the moment, he sat proudly on the bridge, issuing orders.
"Get to the destination as fast as possible. Oh, and remember to report our location to them periodically so they won't get anxious waiting."
Lumiaire said nothing in response to Duanmu Huai's orders, silently following his instructions, leaving the others rather speechless.
"Miss Ann, has the Tribunal ever done this before?"
Mary leaned in close to Ann, asking softly. Ann thought for a moment and shook her head.
"I only remember that when issuing an extinction order, the Tribunal would notify the other party..."
"Ahahaha, Satori thought of an interesting story."
At this moment, Mianmu Zuoniao was laughing heartily on the side, seemingly reminded of some funny joke.
"A story?"
"Yes, Satori remembers hearing an interesting story at school, called 'Calling Lily.'
"Calling... Lily?"
"That's right, they say there's a girl who, while moving, threw away a doll named Lily. The next evening, she was alone at home. Then the phone rang. The girl answered, and a voice came through - 'I'm Lily, why did you throw me away? I'm definitely going to find you.' This call frightened the girl, and she hastily hung up, but five minutes later, the phone rang again, and the voice reappeared.
"Hey, hey, I'm Lily, I'm now at your doorstep."
"The girl, once again scared, hung up the phone. But every five minutes, the phone would ring, and the voice would report its location over and over again."
"Hey, hey, I'm Lily, I'm now on the first floor."
"Hey, hey, I'm Lily, I'm now in the living room."
"Hey, hey, I'm Lily, I'm now on the second floor."
"Hey, hey, I'm Lily, I'm now at your bedroom door."
"Finally... the phone rang once more."
"Hey, hey, I'm Lily, I am now... right behind you!"
"Eek—————!!"
Hearing this, Ann and Mary felt a chill run down their spines, almost clutching each other in fear.
This ghost story was way too terrifying!
Especially with Mianmu Zuoniao's cheerful tone, which exuded an eerie chill, making it all the more frightening.
But... it really does seem quite similar.
In fact, at that moment, for that civilization, this was indeed a ghost story.
Every few minutes, they would receive signals claiming to be from the Tribunal.
"...They've passed through the asteroid belt... they've entered the galaxy... they've reached near Earth orbit!"
The voice of despair echoed in the dead silence of the command room. Though they lacked the capability to colonize other planets, their satellite observation system captured the magnificent sight of the Tribunal Warships. The splendid cathedral group and the gigantic skeletal emblem exuded an oppressive aura, like a storm about to break.
Fortunately, only three warships had arrived... but judging by the size of these warships, it's clear they couldn't contend with such forces!
"Wh-what do we do now, sir?"
"..."
Gazing at the screen in front of him, the leader's face turned pale. He stayed silent for a moment, then turned to look at the woman beside him.
"Dr. Mei, what's your opinion?"
"Let's take things as they come."
She reached out and adjusted her glasses, speaking calmly.
"The other side is already here; there's no point in pondering it now. Plus, who knows, maybe they really can solve our problems? After all, that's what their advertisement suggests, isn't it?"
"I hope so."
The leader sighed softly. From his position, it's hard to believe the advertisement could be that simple. In reality, they had meetings to discuss and study after they received the signal. Some suspected it might be a trap, like how hunters use bait to catch prey. If you stay inside your hole, they have no way, but once you step out, they know exactly where you are. What if this is a trap, leaving everyone with only one path to death?
So, in the end, the top decision was to stay put. While the situation they faced was severe, they weren't completely helpless against it.
But if the Tribunal arrives... that's another story!
Unfortunately, they're here now!
So, there was only one thing they could do.
"Let's go meet them."
Hopefully, they aren't here with ill intentions.
While the others made this decision, back on the bridge, Duanmu Huai also observed the current situation.
It's like treating a disease; even if you feel you're dying, the doctor still needs to diagnose you before starting any treatment.
So, after reaching the destination, Duanmu Huai didn't depart immediately but instead conducted a scan of the entire planet.
"Hmm... there are subspace fluctuations, not too strong. The situation seems a bit complicated, but not overly so."
Duanmu Huai looked at the radar scan results, nodded, and waved his hand.
"Alright, I've got the general picture. Let's head down there and see what's going on."
Quickly, a group boarded a transport and left the warship, descending toward the planet below.
As for where to land? Duanmu Huai didn't even need to ask, just head to where the signal was originally sent from!
