Lina, filled a glass with water, feeling a bit weary, slowly made her way to the table where Aidan and Violet were sitting. Her movements seemed tired, as if the night's sleep hadn't brought her enough rest. She sat down heavily on the chair and then slumped onto the table, looking somewhat listless.
Aidan noticed Lina's tired appearance but still excitedly shared their recent discovery with her, " Lina, we may have found some clues about the Forgotten City, it seems to be related to the Orians!"
Lina quietly listened to Aidan's words, nodding slightly but not showing much reaction. Her gaze seemed to still be lingering in a hazy drowsiness, and although she recognized Aidan's discovery to some extent, she clearly had not fully entered into clear wakefulness.
Seeing Lina's state, Aidan also softened his tone, no longer sharing their discussion with too much excitement. Violet quietly observed Lina, seemingly considering whether to share more details with her or to wait until she was fully awake for a deeper conversation.
At this moment, the cabin of The Wanderer was filled with a quiet and contemplative atmosphere. Each of the three individuals was lost in their own thoughts, Lina struggling to dispel drowsiness, while Aidan and Violet silently planned their next actions.
Lina slowly lifted her head, took a deep breath, as if trying to dispel the remaining fatigue. She took a big gulp of water and then somewhat helplessly said, "I'm exhausted. I was researching a lot of information last night, you know? There are rumors and information about the Forgotten City all over the universe."
She then began to list a series of galaxy names, each of which seemed to have its own unique legend or story of the Forgotten City. Her voice carried a hint of frustration: "Alpha Centauri galaxy, Beta galaxy, Delta domain... Every place has different versions of the Forgotten City legend, but none of them have any connection to the Forgotten City on Kaplan Star that we are looking for."
Lina's voice revealed a hint of weariness and frustration: "You don't know, I almost searched through all available databases last night. Every galaxy, every corner, seems to have legends about the Forgotten City. But this information is too complex, some contradict each other, and some are too absurd, as if everyone wants to shape their own story into a legend."
She continued, "Moreover, it's difficult to distinguish the truth from the rumors. Some say the Forgotten City hides endless treasures, while others claim it's the remains of an ancient civilization. There are even those who assert that Forgotten City is a mysterious gateway to another universe. But when it comes to Kaplan Star's Forgotten City, it's as if it's been swallowed by the universe, with no reliable clues."
At this point, Violet's face showed a hint of confusion as she asked, "Is there really no hint at all? In so many rumors and stories, there usually are some traces."
Lina's eyebrows furrowed, her face filled with frustration and confusion. Her voice carried an unmistakable sense of dejection: "You know, I've always prided myself on being able to find any information online. No matter how obscure or niche, I could always uncover some clues. But this time, about the so-called Forgotten City on Kaplan Star, I can't find anything, not even a basic mention. I'm starting to doubt the truth of this legend, or... maybe it's all just a hoax."
Aidan leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowed, his eyes flashing with contemplation: "Yes, this is truly bizarre. In our information-saturated age, even the smallest events leave some trace. But when it comes to Forgotten City on Kaplan Star, it's as if it has been completely erased from history. This situation seems to have only one explanation: someone, or some organization, deliberately concealed all the information. Perhaps they have their reasons, or this place holds some kind of secret they don't want people to know about."
Violet gently waved the cup in her hand, her eyes shimmering with a profound light: "Indeed, many ancient secrets have been intentionally concealed in the interstellar space to avoid causing disturbances. If the Forgotten City on Kaplan Star truly exists and holds some extremely important secret or value, then someone deliberately hiding the relevant information is not only possible, but even likely to be inevitable."
Lina furrowed her brow, her expression turning serious: "But this doesn't make sense. Even the most secretive matters are difficult to completely conceal in this era. Even the Interstellar Alliance cannot achieve complete information control. This means that the forces hiding this information must have enormous power and influence."
As three people were fervently discussing the secrets of the Forgotten City, Saul's voice suddenly came from behind them, interrupting their conversation. Saul walked over with his typical leisurely gait, wearing a relaxed smile on his face.
"I've always said, you can't rely on things on the internet. These kinds of things still depend on people," Saul's voice was deep and powerful, and his straightforward style always brought some simplicity and directness to complex situations.
His words made the other three slightly startled, and then they all nodded in agreement. Aidan turned to look at Saul, his eyes shining with approval, "You're right, Saul. Sometimes the most direct approach is the most effective. We need to find those who truly know the situation, perhaps they can provide us with more clues."
Violet gently set down her cup, her eyes showing a hint of contemplation, "Indeed. We should go find those ancient galaxies. Perhaps within those forgotten cultures and exiled communities, there will be those who remember the secrets submerged by time."
Lina stretched and nodded, "It looks like we need to start preparing for a real interstellar journey. This time, it's not relying on electronic devices, but on our own footsteps and intuition to explore."
