Death... and me

Chapter 2136 Easy And Risky

Rean and the others looked around, just to make sure none of those weapons that had materialized from walls and grounds appeared in the room. After all, those weapons were strong enough to kill even Space-Time Realm experts, let alone them. Yet, seeing that everything was still quiet, they sighed in relief. "Phew... it seems like this Spaceship's System is not going to attack us, at least not now."

"Or perhaps those weapons simply can't be formed in this room," Roan added.

Luan turned his attention back to the door. "So, Father, Uncle Rean, what do we do? If we try to force our way through this door, chances are we will also be categorized as enemies by this Spaceship. I truly don't wish to be seen as an enemy against such a powerful system."

*Tlick!*

It was then that the Red Lights suddenly disappeared, returning to the normal illumination from before.

-Threat in Sector 519-890H has been eliminated. The damage auto-recovery system is going to be activated in ten seconds. If you are near the affected area, make sure not to be in the space where the repair will be made. Thank you for your cooperation.-

The twins' group couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. They were sure whoever caused the system to fight back was most likely in the Space-Time Realm. Yet, just a few seconds passed, and the system said the threat had been eliminated. That was something equivalent to a Divinity Realm expert in power! "Just make sure you don't provoke this Spaceship's system, alright?" Rean couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps they were not really eliminated but escaped outside again. Or maybe the ones who attacked were just subordinates at a lower level," Roan wasn't 100% sure, though. "Don't forget that the Space-Time Realm participants might have used beings like Rean and me to get inside the Ruins."

"Forget it," Rean shook his head. "We will find out sooner or later if that was the case. Right now, we need to find a way to get past this door. Otherwise, we can only go back into the Air Ventilation Ducts and look for another place to come out."

Saying that, Rean couldn't help but wonder. "Now that I think about it, how come this Spaceship doesn't have a system to prevent sneaking through the Air Ventilation Ducts? It is obviously extremely advanced, so there was supposed to be something to prevent invaders from using this method."

"Most likely, it does have something like that," Roan pondered the issue. "It's just that this place has been in existence for so long that whatever it was is not working anymore. Or maybe it was purposely deactivated in the past for some reason. Who knows why? The important part is that we are fine."

Rean nodded and approached the door once again.

-Identification could not be confirmed. Please keep your Identification Card with you at all times and ensure it has the necessary authority level to access the required paths.-

Rean smiled and decided to simply ask. "System, we have forgotten our Identification Cards in our quarters. Help us issue a temporary Identification Card and guide us through the process of making new ones." Rean thought that since this system was this advanced, it definitely had countermeasures for cases like theirs.

Sure enough...

-Request accepted. Please state your name, position, and your Identification Number. A temporary access card will be issued to you. After that, please head to your sector's Managing Office to replace your cards if necessary.-

Rean's smile turned bitter straight away. Position? Identification Number? He didn't have any of those things. "Errr... Ahem... It turns out that we are new here. We can't remember our Identification Number. As for our positions, we haven't been assigned any yet. We are on probation. In any case, I'm Rean Lark, those two behind me are Roan Lark and Luan Lark."

Roan and Luan looked at each other. 'There is no way this will work,' they thought.

*Plin!*

Suddenly, the panel on the side of the door came to life. Right after, three cards were expelled from their sockets, each bearing a picture of Rean, Roan, and Luan.

Luan and Roan's mouths twitched a little. 'Isn't this security system a little too easy to fool?'

Rean was ecstatic and gave a thumbs-up to Roan and Luan. "See, this is a very helpful system." He then threw the cards to Roan and Luan while keeping his own.

Roan and Luan could only accept them before the three of them approached the door once again.

-Temporary cards will only be accepted during the next two hours. Please head to the Sector's Managing Office to replace them with new ones or retrieve your own cards from your previously mentioned quarters. Failure to comply with this directive will mark users Rean, Roan, and Luan Larks as unauthorized personnel, and they shall be detained by the defense system.-

Rean nodded. "Thank you, system. Could you please point us in the direction of the Managing Office? As previously mentioned, we are new here. We would like to be guided to the nearest Managing Office to regularize our situation as fast as possible."

*Zum, zum, zum, zum zum...*

Immediately, several holographic arrows appeared on the side walls, pointing in the right direction.

Seeing that, Rean, Roan, and Luan looked at each other and nodded. 'It seems like as long as we follow the rules, we won't be in much danger.'

'However, should we really go?' Luan wondered. 'I mean, once we reach the Managing Office, it will become clear that we aren't members of this Spaceship, right? First of all, is there anyone alive in this thing? I can't see any life forms with my Sacred Eyes. It feels like no one has been here in a very, very long time.'

Rean shared the same concern. 'Indeed. At least the Air Ventilation Ducts don't seem to have any verification system. Perhaps it would be better to go back into them and look for another safer location to come out.'

Yet, Roan immediately shook his head. 'Safer location? First of all, would there be a safer location than this one? Even if there was, can we find it? We got stuck in that place for two days. Chances are that we won't be able to travel through them for long without encountering any risks. We might as well go from here. Don't forget that we can still access the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.'

In the end, Rean and Luan agreed with Roan. 'To the Managing Office, we go then.'
