Chapter 583: 427 Chapter 583: 427 “Probably.
Not long after, the sound of knocking ca again, and then the captain ca in, respectfully handed over a dossier to Duanmu Huai. The latter took it and began to look through it rapidly.
According to the report, the operations of this Planet Dissolution Ship were quite regular. Every three months, a transport team would co here to deliver supplies and take away the refined minerals and raw materials. At other tis, the ship would operate according to the company’s instructions. In general, there was nothing particularly unusual about these records…
Duanmu Huai’s eyes moved to the line below, he furrowed his brows.
“Fifteen miners died accidentally three days ago? What’s the reason?”
“Those idiots ssed up the procedure.”
The captain was also at a loss for words when it ca to this topic.
“They were supposed to replace the previous shift and maintain the gravity rope. However, so of them opened the cabin door without pressurizing, causing an unimaginable leakage and explosion in the entire chamber———Thanks to them, I had to stop working and repair until everything was back to normal. Luckily, I asked a lawyer and this situation was not categorized as an industrial injury, so I don’t have to pay compensation.”
“In theory, the cabin door cannot be opened without pressure.”
“I’m not sure either, maybe there was a malfunction sowhere.”
“Is there a video of it?”
“Of course.”
The Captain nodded.
“This will be the evidence the company uses for their compensation claims.”
As he spoke, the captain walked over to the terminal and turned it on. Soon, an image appeared in front of Duanmu Huai. In the dress changing room, a group of miners were changing their maintenance suits. Then, a miner, after changing his suit, walked slowly towards the cabin door with a sleepwalking deanor and pressed a button. Accompanied by a sharp alarm, other workers who were changing their suits noticed this as well. They tried to stop him by shouting, or hurriedly put on their suits.
Unfortunately, it was too late. At that mont, the entire cabin door burst open, and those workers were sucked out instantly, disappearing from sight.
“Wait.”
Duanmu Huai reached out, pointing to a foot in the chaotic debris on screen.
“A survivor?”
“Yes, he is the supervisor of the shift, Keller. But he’s lost his mind.”
“He went crazy?”
“Yes.”
The Captain nodded.
“He was luckily in his maintenance suit, so he survived, but when we saved him, he kept talking nonsense. The doctor thinks he has beco ntally unstable from the traumatic shock. We tried sedatives, but they didn’t work…”
“I want to see him.”
Duanmu Huai put down the report.
“Where is he?”
“In the recovery room of the dical zone… I will arrange soone to take you there.”
Soon, a man who looked like the Captain’s assistant appeared in front of Duanmu Huai. He kept his head down, not daring to et Duanmu Huai’s eyes, and led them deep into the warship. After they took an elevator and passed several zones, they arrived at the dical area.
Here, Duanmu Huai finally t the man the Captain had ntioned as crazy.
At the mont, he was confined in a room, completely restrained, even his mouth was gagged.
“What happened?”
Duanmu Huai looked at the doctor beside him, who just shrugged helplessly.
“It wasn’t my idea, but he’s gone too crazy. Since he woke up, he’s been frantic, trying to kill himself. I tried using high doses of sedatives and dicine, but they were largely ineffectual. Finally, we had to bind him like this, waiting for the transport ship coming in a few days to take him back.”
“I want to talk to him.”
As Duanmu Huai was saying, he pushed the door open and walked in. He went towards the man and unlocked his restraints. No sooner had he freed the man when the latter lunged forward, gripping Duanmu Huai’s arm fiercely. This caught Ann and Greiya off guard, causing them to step back. Duanmu Huai just fixed his gaze, though, staring into the man’s eyes.
They were cloudy, bloodshot, and disjointed eyes.
“Tell , what did you encounter?”
Duanmu Huai glared at the man and coldly asked. Then he removed the gag from the man’s mouth. At the sa ti, a scream of terror resounded throughout the room, making everyone shudder. However, the cold, destructive, and fearful aura that erupted from Duanmu Huai instantly silenced the man’s wail.
“Answer my question, what did you encounter!”
Duanmu Huai glared at the man fiercely, and the man’s previously cloudy eyes seed to gradually clear up.
“No, no, it’s not my fault! Not my fault! I don’t know why it happened like this! Kyle was abnormal, he had been abnormal since we started work in the morning. He seed like he had a nightmare, was all dazed. I originally wanted him to rest, not to work in the shift! But he refused, he said he wanted to go out, he said there was soone calling him outside………I didn’t know what he was talking about! I didn’t expect him to do such a thing! And, and…”
At this point, the man’s expression beca more and more twisted and frightened. He knotted his hands into his hair, even scratching out a few bloody stripes.
“After that, I heard it too, I heard it too! It was inviting outside as well! No, I don’t want to go out! I don’t want to………!”
The man’s face, bloody and distorted, showed a horrifying sight, while Duanmu Huai continued to stare at him.
“Who wants you to go out, what did you hear?”
“……………”
This ti, the man did not respond. His eyes, which had gradually beco clear, seed to start clouding again.
Then, the man opened his mouth.
But, what ca out was not the man’s hysterical voice, but a crisp, tender voice of a young girl.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are …”
The song reverberated throughout the room, sending a chill down everyone’s spine. Then, the man looked at Duanmu Huai, an eerie smile spreading across his face, before his neck abruptly twisted———he had stopped breathing.
“…………”
Duanmu Huai silently dropped the corpse in his hand, staring at the endless starry sky outside the window.
“It seems, we’ve run into trouble.”
Then, he broke the silence.
