"But how will I know if I can do it if I don't even try?" Shi Li felt that if she remained afraid, her secret would have to stay a secret forever.
Besides, she wanted to find out what exactly the Federation was up to.
"But once you go, there will be no turning back." Larwen closed the book in her hands.
She stood up, opened a cabinet in the room, and after rummaging around for a moment, handed Shi Li a brooch.
A blood-red jewel was surrounded by inlaid Obsidian, shaped like a majestic eagle.
The mix of jet-black and blood-red gave it a strange, dark aura.
It was hard to imagine something like this being associated with the Federation.
"This is an access key for the Federation's interstellar base. Wear it, and you'll be able to enter the Federation Base."
"I'm just not sure what the Federation is like on the inside anymore." Larwen gently caressed the brooch, a wistful look on her face.
It was unclear what she was reminiscing about.
