"Um..." Hanako looked around subconsciously, and then asked: "If it's not you... who else could it be? I just entered the house."

Natsume also felt that it was a bit abnormal. This crystal board specifically for painting was purchased by him specifically for the convenience of painting, and it could run independently without being connected to the Internet.

Because it was just a pastime, Natsume never connected the sketchpad to the Internet, thus eliminating the possibility of network intrusion.

And what’s even weirder is…

When Natsume and Hanako looked at those mysterious symbols at the same time, they slowly faded and then disappeared...

This scene makes people a little uneasy.

Fortunately, apart from these mysterious symbols, Hanako and Natsume found no other abnormal situations, and no mysterious intruder was found in the room.

After lunch, they all forgot about it.

…

But the next day, when Hanako took Natsume's ship to the breeding base, she discovered that a special ship with a monument mark was moored at the port of the breeding base.

Hanako and Natsume looked at each other, both curious as to why the person from the First Axis suddenly arrived.

But the base is very large, and the work areas here are divided very independently, so Hanako and Natsume did not encounter these "uninvited guests" immediately.

After entering her workspace, Hanako started working as usual.

She first checked the growth of marine plants in various cultivation areas during yesterday's break. After confirming that everything was normal, she changed into work clothes and entered the area that Masato was responsible for.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door of the area Masato was responsible for, he bumped into two tall guys who looked like special forces soldiers.

They blocked Hanako's path, and one of them explained: "Sorry, ma'am, please stop, the area has been blocked."

Hanako was stunned and looked at the tall man in front of him with a puzzled expression. What did he mean: "Why was it suddenly blocked?"

The tall man was quite intelligent, and he added: "There is abnormal activity in the seaweed in this area, please wait until the sampling is completed."

"What? Yuqiang got the goods?"

The tall man was not spiritual anymore: "Huh? What did you say?"

Hanako took off her mask and said, revealing a face flushed with boredom, "I said, what's the abnormal activity? I saw everything was normal before I got off work the day before yesterday?"

The tall man looked embarrassed when he heard this and said: "We don't know much about it, but please understand and cooperate with our work."

After hearing this, Hanako took a step back, looked at the height and body shape of the two people, and after confirming that they were the ones he couldn't beat, he turned around and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Saying that, Hanako left.

But is Hanako really so abiding by the rules? But no.

Hanako's curiosity rivals that of a cat.

As long as she was interested, she would definitely find out...so...she decided to enter Masato's area through the connecting pipe in her area.

Only Hanako and Masato know this secret passage.

At that time, Hanako, who was like an explorer, quietly checked the work status of everyone else in the passage with Masato.

That was when Hanako discovered that Natsume liked to eat sweets when she was working alone, which made Hanako feel like a treasure. Unfortunately, after giving away the desserts she made by herself, she was thanked by her "good brother".

Now, Hanako started her own adventure again, but this time her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

After all, Hanako had only seen the people of the first central axis in various media before. Their mystery and power made people both curious and afraid.

So Hanako can't help but think: 'What if I get caught? Will they kill me and silence me?'

This idea was excellent, but it was immediately ridiculed by Hanako, who was even more outstanding.

This is not a movie, and the person in the first central axis is not the big bad guy, so how could it be possible?

…

"Are these algae... sending us a mysterious message?"

As soon as she entered the area where Masato was responsible, Hanako heard a man's voice.

The voice sounded very young, so the speaker must be young.

"But what can such low-level biological forms convey to us? Are they complaining that we have made a mess of the earth's ecology?" A somewhat unpleasant voice immediately mocked.

Hanako didn't see this person, but she had already classified him as a "bad guy".

"Haha, it's not impossible, but what I mean is...these algae may just be used, and there should be someone else who is transmitting information to us."

"Is there someone else?"

"Yes, this phenomenon appeared in many places around the world at the same time yesterday. Many people even saw it in their dreams. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"

"I didn't say that, but whatever, we are only responsible for recording and sampling, and the specific analysis must be completed by the people above."

"You're right, we shouldn't think wildly." As he said that, the man came over.

As the footsteps approached, Hanako, who was hiding near the vent, did not dare to come out.

"etc."

"What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong...are these algae...more gathered than just now?"

"More?" The man took a step back, and Hanako quietly took a breath.

"Well, I have already notified the disposal team outside. You should pay more attention and return it as soon as possible after sampling."

"Okay, it's almost done."

Hanako frowned secretly while listening to the conversation.

'Symbol? What symbol? Yesterday... Could it be?! Is it the one I saw at Natsume's yesterday?' Hanako suddenly remembered, but she had to see clearly the state of the seaweed that the man was collecting now, otherwise she had nothing to do

Connect two things together.

So she crawled forward again, and after a while she reached the other side. From here, she could clearly see the state of the seaweed in the cultivation area.

At this moment, the seaweed that should have been floating quietly in the seawater was actually all stuck to the glass of the cultivation area, and presented a strange symbolic form.

After a little recognition, Hanako couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Huh? What sound?"

Hanako immediately covered her mouth and hid aside.

The man she classified as a bad guy looked down and didn't see Hanako, but his expression was not good.

"Done?"

"Soon."

"Hurry up, I always feel that this place is a little uncomfortable."

"Okay, okay."

…

Half an hour later, the first central axis ship left.

But Masato's breeding area is still sealed off.

Hanako and the other breeders were also gathered together for a short meeting.

Several matters were mentioned in the meeting... One is not to mention to anyone that the First Central Axis came to the base today, and the other is not to enter the area that Masato is responsible for anymore.

Of course Hanako, a former good baby, would not follow these orders honestly.

When Natsume came to see her, she lied that she had work to do and was staying here tonight, and asked Natsume to go back first.

Natsume left without thinking much.

At night, the deserted marine animal and plant breeding base gives people an eerie feeling.

Hanako stayed alone in the studio, and from time to time she could hear the sounds of the marine animals in the base.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, after confirming that no one would come, Hanako entered the secret passage again.

This time she wanted to find out for herself.

…

Natsume returned to her residence and started cooking as usual.

But halfway through the meal, he froze.

What happened yesterday was still lingering in his mind, and today someone from the First Central Axis came to his door again. Natsume always felt that there was some mysterious connection between the two.

After much deliberation, Natsume and Hanako's ideas overlapped.

He decided to return to the base at night to find out.

But just when he made up his mind to continue cooking, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Hanako standing outside.

She looked at Natsume with a smile and said: "My mother is not at home, so I want to come to your place to have a meal. Is that okay?"

Natsume looked back at the time. It was just past eight o'clock, so he didn't want to delay his plan.
Chapter completed!
