With how vast and boundless the universe is, coming across one or two mysterious alien lifeforms that are immune to conventional weaponry isn't all that surprising... But finding one that can reflect our attacks with pinpoint precision? That's a first for me.
Moreover, judging by how the laser came flying exactly back to the turret that fired it, this wasn't just a matter of simple reflection, like light bouncing off a polished surface.
No—this was something else entirely.
The trajectory of the original laser should have caused the rebound to veer off to the side at an angle, but instead, it reversed direction and returned to us—straight, sharp, and deadly accurate.
And if that wasn't bad enough—
"That thing just looked at us..." I whispered, a chill running down my spine.
It wasn't obvious at a glance, but I could feel it. Somehow, I just knew. Its pair of piercing red eyes were locked onto our ship—the one that dared to attack it first.
