Chapter 2: The Mysterious Invitation

The night on the planet Sailon was silent and long, and the wind and sand on the wasteland seemed to have softened a lot. Lin Yi lay in the dormitory of the base, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. His chest burned slightly, and the mysterious badge seemed to remind him that his fate had changed.

"Lin Yi, are you really ready?" He whispered to himself, with a hint of firmness in his voice. The power of the badge flowed within him, as if in response to his determination.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Yi got up, he heard a quick knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Jack standing in the doorway with a hint of excitement and nervousness on his face.

"Lin Yi, hurry up! Dr. Su Yao from the Federal Academy of Sciences is looking for you! Jack said aloud, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "So early? What's the matter with her looking for me? "

"I don't know, but it seems important." Jack waved his hand, "Hurry up, she's already waiting for you in the lab!" "

Lin Yi nodded, quickly put on his uniform, and followed Jack towards the laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences. Along the way, his heart was full of doubts and expectations. Su Yao was looking for him, could it be that there was a new development in the matter of badges?

In the laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences, Su Yao was standing in front of a huge instrument, and various complex charts and data flashed on the screen. Hearing Lin Yi's footsteps, she turned around with a hint of seriousness on her face.

"Lin Yi, you're here." Her voice was deep and powerful, and there was a hint of urgency in her eyes.

"Yaoyao, what are you looking for me?" Lin Yi walked into the laboratory and his eyes fell on the instrument. The screen shows a complex star map with several glowing dots.

Su Yao took a deep breath and said slowly, "Lin Yi, after a night of research, I discovered some secrets of the badge. It is not an ordinary source of energy, but is closely related to an ancient power, the Heart of the Abyss. "

Lin Yi nodded, he had already guessed this: "What is the Heart of the Star Abyss you are talking about?" "

"The Heart of the Abyss is a legendary artifact that is said to possess the ability to balance the energy of the universe." Su Yao walked up to Lin Yi's side, pointed to the star map on the screen, and said, "According to our research, the Heart of the Star Abyss is divided into three parts, which are hidden in three places in the Netherworld Domain - the Dark Forest, the Frozen Ruins, and the Dark Abyss. "

Lin Yi's gaze was firmly fixed on the star map, and a strong impulse surged in his heart. The badge seemed to tremble slightly within him, as if to guide him to find the shards.

"Yaoyao, are you sure that the badge has something to do with the heart of the star abyss?" He asked, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Su Yao nodded: "Yes." The energy contained in the emblem is highly consistent with the fluctuations of the Heart of the Abyss. It may be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Abyssal Heart, or it may be a part of the Abyssal Heart. "

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. If the emblem is really related to the Heart of the Abyss, then his fate may have been closely linked to this artifact.

"Yaoyao, what are your plans?" He raised his head and looked at Su Yao with a determined gaze.

Su Yao's face showed a hint of hesitation, but it was quickly replaced by firmness: "Lin Yi, I need you to join a special operations team." Our goal is to explore the Netherworld in search of the fragments of the Heart of the Abyss. It was an unprecedented adventure, full of unknowns and dangers. "

Lin Yi's heart was shocked, and his gaze fell on the chest where the badge was. He knew that there was no way back, that the badge had chosen him, and that there was no reason for him to refuse the adventure.

"Yaoyao, I promise you." His voice was deep and firm, "I'll join this squad and help you find the Heart of the Abyss." "

A relieved smile appeared on Su Yao's face: "I knew you would agree." Lin Yi, you are the bravest person I have ever met. I believe you can do it. "

A few days later, the Einsatzgruppen of the Federal Academy of Sciences was officially formed. In addition to Lin Yi and Su Yao, there are two other members - Renault and Alice.

Renault is Lin Yi's comrade-in-arms and an elite member of the federal special forces. He was burly, muscular, and had an uninhibited look in his eyes. His combat skills and melee combat abilities are unrivaled in the Federation, and he is the strongest combat force in the squad.

"Lin Yi, this mission is no better than the usual patrol." Renaud patted Lin Yi's shoulder, with a hint of arrogance in his tone, "Netherworld is a dangerous place, we have to be careful." "

Lin Yi nodded, his heart was full of trust in Renault. They have served together on the planet Sailon for many years, and they have long been brothers who share life and death.

"Don't worry, Renault. With you, I'm not afraid of anything. Lin Yi said with a smile.

Alice, on the other hand, is the most mysterious presence in the squad. She is a descendant of an alien race, the Spirit Race, and possesses great psychic powers. Her skin was as pale as snow, her long purple hair fluttered gently in the air, and there was a hint of arrogance and mystery in her eyes.

"Lin Yi, it's a pleasure to act with you." Alice's voice was soft and ethereal, as if from another world, "I will use my abilities to protect everyone. "

Lin Yi nodded, his gaze falling on Alice's. He knew that this mysterious girl would be the key to their exploration of the Netherworld.

"Alice, your mental strength is very strong, and you will definitely be able to help us." He said, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Alice smiled slightly, a glint flashing in her purple eyes, "I'll do my best." "

The departure ceremony of the task force took place on the square of the Federal Academy of Sciences. The top leaders of the Federation gathered to see them off. The President of the Federation personally presented the flag to the squad, and his voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

"Lin Yi, Su Yao, Renault, Alice, you are shouldering the hope and mission of the Federation. The exploration of the Netherworld is full of unknowns and dangers, but I am confident that you will be able to complete your mission and find the Heart of the Abyss and bring new hope to the Federation. "

Lin Yi took the flag, and his heart was full of a sense of mission. He knew it was an unprecedented adventure, but he was ready for it.

"Your Excellency, we will definitely complete the task." His voice was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.

The starship that the team was riding on slowly rose into the air and flew in the direction of the Netherworld. Lin Yi stood on the deck of the battleship, looking at the Federation base that was gradually moving away, his heart was full of anticipation and uneasiness.

"Lin Yi, what are you thinking?" Su Yao walked up to him and asked softly.

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "I'm wondering why this badge chose me." What exactly is it trying to tell me? "

Su Yao was silent for a moment, her gaze falling on Lin Yi's chest: "Perhaps, it wants to tell you that you are destined to become the one who changes the fate of the universe." "

Lin Yi nodded, and a strong force surged in his heart. He knew that he had embarked on a road of no return, and this path would determine the fate of the entire universe.

"Yaoyao, no matter what lies ahead, I will go on." His voice was deep and firm, "For the Federation, for the Universe." "

Starships fly through the vastness of the universe and sail in the direction of the Netherworld. Lin Yi stood on the deck, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of anticipation and uneasiness. He knew that this adventure had just begun, and that endless challenges and unknown dangers awaited them.

"Lin Yi, are you ready?" He asked silently in his heart.

"Whatever lies ahead, I'm going to keep going." His voice echoed in his heart, as if in response to his own determination.

And on his chest, the mysterious badge flickered slightly, as if to tell him that it had just begun.
