The door was locked after Karl entered, and hidden weapons began to retreat to their place and disappear, but Karl did not notice this.
Karl watched his surroundings, wondering about things that resembled science fiction movies. He was very excited as he inspected everything, even if he did not understand how to use them.
''Welcome, young master Karl.'' A man wearing a suit and looking like a servant suddenly appeared.
Karl jumped back in fright and grabbed a chair on the side to take cover. "Who are you? And how did you suddenly appear?"
The man remained calm as he explained to Karl. "My name is Dawn. I am an artificial intelligence of an ancient civilization, and this is just a virtual form. There is no need to panic."
''I am not afraid, I was just surprised.'' Karl felt embarrassed and came out from behind the chair, but at the same time he felt relieved because it was not real. He thought that someone was following him.
''What is this place? Can you introduce it to me?'' '' Karl put his hand behind his back and straightened his body as he spoke, he looked like an owner checking his belongings
Dawn showed a slight smile on Karl's face, then began to introduce the place, "This is your father's lab, it wouldn't be good for me to explain the situation to you, it's better for you to hear from him."
'' Dad? Is he here?'' Karl was surprised and then jumped with joy, but his joy was short-lived, instead of his father appearing in person, he appeared on a large screen in the lab.
'' Karl, my son, since you're seeing this recording, it means that I'm no longer by your side, but there's nothing to worry about, you're my son and I know you'll be fine.
Was the puzzle difficult? Haha, how I wanted to see your angry face, but it seems that my guess was right, there is nothing difficult for my son
Let's move on to the subject, this lab holds the pinnacle of my research, of course, 'Dawn' helped me a lot and will be a valuable help for you
Your arrival here makes him accept you as his master by only about 50%, there is another test to be under your control and accept you as his supreme master
You will find information in 'Dawn's' database, it will be useful to you, the war is coming but you must prepare, you are my hope, you are our last hope, I feel that something bad will happen so I tried to prepare for the worst...''
Karl was listening to what his father was saying with tears in his eyes, 4 years had passed since he saw him, he was happy and sad at the same time
He listened carefully to his father as he pointed out the details of the lab and the upcoming war, the more he heard, the more he felt afraid and nervous,
Although the upcoming war is something big and perhaps He wouldn't be there when it happened
But just thinking that it could happen made him feel scared, he felt for the first time like an ant in a forest ruled by a group of giant existences
He began to doubt his father's choice to leave this matter to him, he is just a 12-year-old child, even if it was his father himself, it is impossible
He looked towards Dawn as if he was waiting for him to tell him that his father was joking, but the latter only responded with a smile, which increased his misery
''I know it is difficult, but don't worry, Dawn will be by your side, the only regret is that I will not be by your side when you succeed,
Take care of your mother and sister and tell her that I am sorry for everything, I left you some gifts, especially you, I love you''
Karl turned towards Dawn and asked him, ''Where is my father now?''
'' The latest news I have is this'' Dawn pointed to the screen and two people appeared arguing, one of them was Karl's father, while the other Karl had never seen before.
The argument began to intensify to the point of fistfight, Karl couldn't hear them but from the scene around them, Karl noticed a very large ship part, its shape wasn't captured but Karl was sure it was huge.
After being amazed and surprised, he turned his gaze towards his father and the other person, he was worried when he saw the other man pull out a gun and shoot his father.
'' Dad'' he shouted fearfully towards the screen trying to jump to help him, but he had nothing in front of him but a video, he began to clench his fist tightly nervously and angrily.
But then he was surprised by the scene in front of him, he saw that the man after shooting his father headed towards the ship and entered it, but surprisingly his father stood up and didn't seem to be badly injured.
His eyes narrowed and he stepped back as he said, "Zombie"
"He's not a zombie," Dawn routinely corrected him. Karl didn't notice him, but he relaxed and continued watching.
The scene shifted to his father running towards the small ship room in the mother ship. He quickly pushed the man from behind and pushed him away from a panel in front of him. It looked like a control panel.
He grabbed his head in fear and then turned his head towards the man, shouting at him and kicking him. He looked angry, but Karl also noticed the fear in his eyes.
The two men started fighting again, and the scene of their fight was beyond his imagination. This wasn't the strength of two ordinary men or even elite special forces. It was like two tigers fighting.
Their fists had a force that could break iron. The man wanted to shoot Karl's father again, but this time in the head. Karl's father didn't let go and tried to snatch the gun.
The two suddenly stopped, Karl felt terrified, their stopping meant that something big had happened, he didn't hear the gunfire, but he felt that a bullet had been fired, it was like a scene from the movies he watched, although this wasn't a movie.
Fortunately, the person who stopped was his father, as for the man, he seemed to have been shot in the heart, blood started to flow from his chest, he looked at Karl's father and said something then fell.
Karl's father didn't pay attention to him and started messing with the ship, then dawn appeared and he seemed to be receiving orders, after that the recording was cut off.
''What happened next? Who is this man? And why is my father terrified?'' Karl turned to him nervously as he asked successive questions.
''This man was John, a friend who helped your father in many researches, your father trusted him and showed him a picture of the ship, but he did not live up to your father's trust and the seed of greed began to form inside him
Fortunately, despite your father's trust in this friend, he did not tell him where the ship was. After that, he started playing tricks and caused your father to be fired from his job without your father knowing that he was the reason.
Then he appeared as a friend who pities his friend and looked for investors to help him with his research, to make him feel that he is a good friend and can be relied upon.
He also wanted to make your father feel that he should return the favor, but your father still did not take him to the ship's location.
He begged your father many times to take him to see it, but your father always refused. However, he did not give up and kept trying, until one day your father was negligent, which caused John to follow him.
Unfortunately, I always followed your father when he was coming and wiped his tracks, but this time I was in the process of repairing and updating and warned your father not to come before the update was finished.
"But he didn't listen to my warnings and what happened happened, as for your father," Dawn sighed as he looked at Karl.
"This caused a disaster for all of humanity, so your father had to sacrifice leaving you to buy you some time to prepare."
"What did that man do to cause such a big problem that made my father abandon us?" '' Karl got to the point and asked
'' I had mentioned to your father not to operate any device on the ship when I was not around, that day I was in the process of repairing and upgrading so I was not connected to the ship
When John operated the small ship, a signal was sent out indicating its location to my enemies, and this is a disaster for your kind, you are weak and you can only die in the face of them
Although they may send just a reconnaissance ship, but this is enough to destroy your entire galaxy, I have hidden here for many years, but because of this simple negligence the countdown to your end has begun
Before that, there was a period in your grandfather's youth when he saved a stranger who fell from space with his ship, but he was aggressive and your grandfather killed him, but the stranger had sent a distress message to his comrades
They may arrive after 12 years from now '' Dawn saw the worry in Karl's eyes but reassured him '' Don't worry, they are a weak civilization, but despite that they are stronger than you
However, your father has created weapons that can defeat them, so their situation is simple, but the biggest problem is the incoming reconnaissance squad.''
