The Stars Echo

The metal dome of the abandoned mine was rusty under the irradiation of cosmic rays. Chen Yuan huddled in the shadow of the ventilation duct, his silver-gray mechanical prosthesis gently resting on his knees, and his knuckles tightened slightly with his breathing. The sound of the patrol's heavy metal boots came from outside the pipe, "That 'ghost' must still be in this area. If you find him, you can get the reward from the seven major forces!" "Ghost" is the name given to Chen Yuan by the mine. Ten years ago, he was picked up by an old mechanic in the ruins of a mine. His left arm was comminuted and fractured. The old mechanic made him a prosthetic limb using parts from abandoned starships. The old mechanic died mysteriously three years ago, leaving only a chipped wrench and a vague last word: "The star core talisman... Hides your origin."
