He said with a self-deprecating smile: "But I'm used to it."

Hanako understood now, and she asked again: "Then...haven't you ever thought about leaving here? Have you ever been to the world under the waterfall?"

"Of course I have thought about it, but I made a promise to someone and promised to wait here for him to come back, so... I can't leave." After saying that, the water boiled.

"Tea? Or coffee?"

"Uh... plain water, thank you."

"Well, what about you?"

"Coffee." Liu Ping, who was wandering around the room, was startled and quickly retracted his restless hand and responded.

"Um...Xiang Mubai, do you want something to drink?"

Xiang Mubai didn't say anything. He was sitting at the very front of the bow, his back looking a little forlorn.

"Forget it, let's make him a cup of tea." The ferryman didn't bother to ask. She took out several cups with different styles and started to prepare them.

Seeing those cups, Hanako suddenly realized something. She asked: "Excuse me...did you come here to explore with many people back then?"

"Well... adventure..." The ferryman shook his head and said, "Actually, I came here to find someone. I didn't even think about any adventure."

"Looking for someone? Who to look for?"

"My father." The ferryman poured boiling water for Hanako from a pink cat's paw cup.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Here, your coffee."

"Well...here he is." Liu Ping, who never reads books, actually picked up a book without a cover and read it with gusto. Hearing this, he hurriedly put down the book and came over.

The ferryman didn't care much about his actions. She sighed softly: "Actually, I lied just now..."

"Huh?" Hanako and Liu Ping were both stunned.

The ferryman then said: "Actually, we have met... and many times..."

Hanako and Liu Ping were stunned again, but this time it was because they were shocked and confused.

The ferryman said and walked to the bed. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the photo on the bedside and walked over and said, "Do you recognize the person in the photo?"

Hanako put down the cup and took the photo. After taking it, she just took one look and was stunned.

Aren't the three people in the photo the same as them?

Liu Ping was also dumbfounded, but he seemed to suddenly understand something...

"Liu Ping, your story was told to me personally by you, and I remember it all, but there are some things I can't help you with... You have to save yourself." The ferryman said to Liu Ping earnestly.

Liu Ping's heart trembled greatly, and he looked at the ferryman in front of him in disbelief.

As for Hanako, she was more concerned about what the photo was about.

"This... this... you... this... what on earth is going on?" Hanako couldn't accept it, nor could she understand it.

The ferryman held her hand and said, "Do you still remember the passage in the diary? Don't be afraid. I believe that your uncle is waiting for you not far ahead. With him here, he will send you away safely."

When Hanako heard this, she was more than shocked.

The ferryman took the photos away, and she walked out of the cockpit with tea.

When Hanako and Liu Ping were left alone, Liu Ping, who had recovered his senses, hurriedly said: "Hanako, I know who she is!"

"who?"

"Wang Gangdan!"

"Who?!" Hanako frowned, feeling that the name was childish.

"Look at this!" Liu Ping took out a corner of the poster he had just secretly hidden and showed it to Hanako.

That's a signature and a date.

April 1, 2100 Zhang Xinan.

"Zhang Xian'an? Hiss...this name...so familiar..." Hanako vaguely felt that she should recognize this person.

"Of course, isn't he that famous person? He became famous together with Su Che. It is said that he was just the president of a listed company before." Liu Ping is still somewhat familiar with this Zhang Xian'an.

After hearing about Su Che, Hanako suddenly remembered it...but...

What does this have to do with the ferryman’s true identity?

Before Hanako asked, Liu Ping continued: "I have read the biography of Zhang Xian'an. Although it is said to be true, many people say that it is the documentary of the exploration of the origin of the earth's core that he and Su Che participated in. In it,

, in that failed rescue operation, only a dozen people were rescued in the end, and most of the other participants were missing...and these included several important protagonists. The one that impressed me most was a girl named Wang Gangdan!"

"Uh..." Hanako still felt it was a bit far-fetched.

But then Liu Ping added another sentence, which completely dispelled Hanako's doubts.

"I later checked that the girl named Wang Gangdan was indeed a real person, and she followed the rescue team down here just to find her father! And you heard what she said just now, didn't you?

Do you think this could be a coincidence?" The more Liu Ping talked, the clearer his ideas became.

Hanako felt like she was getting goosebumps, but after all, she had not read Zhang Xian'an's book, and she was not very clear about the failed rescue operation that Su Che participated in back then.

But she did accidentally hear from Yan Haoming that the great writer had participated in many scientific expeditions in mysterious fields before becoming famous. Many people said that he was able to become an influential contemporary writer with "The Golden Age".

The main reason for the famous writer is his personal experience.

Thinking about it this way, combined with Liu Ping's words, Hanako feels that the credibility is extremely high.

And the most important thing is that if this speculation is true, it means that this mysterious area is not a dead end! They still have hope or can get out.

Thinking of this, Hanako couldn't help but feel happy.

Liu Ping also realized the same problem. He smiled and said: "Girl, there is no end to the road. We have hope now!"

"Um!"

The two were talking and didn't notice that the ferryman had been standing outside the door for a minute.

After the two of them finished chatting, the ferryman walked in calmly.

Hanako and Liu Ping heard the footsteps and hurriedly silenced them.

The ferryman didn't say much. After entering the cockpit, she walked to the bed, pulled out a black box from under the bed and said: "The road down there will be very hard, these equipment may be able to help you."

As he spoke, the ferryman opened the box.

Hanako and Liu Ping came closer and saw that they were two civilian-grade exoskeleton suits integrated with customized fitting kits.

"These...couldn't they be the ones we used before?" Liu Ping suddenly asked a question that really shouldn't be asked.

Hanako's eyes changed, and her originally happy eyes dimmed a lot.

The ferryman looked up at Liu Ping and said, "I think...if you had these equipment to help you, maybe you wouldn't ask me such a stupid question now."

Liu Ping looked confused and was obviously stunned.

But Hanako understood, and her eyes regained some brightness.

"Thank you."

The ferryman glanced at Hanako and said, "You're welcome."

Half an hour later.

After the equipment was completed, Huazi, Liu Ping and Xiang Mubai boarded the boat again.

The ferryman was still at the stern of the boat, and she looked forward. When the boat and the exploration ship separated, she said: "Don't be afraid! This place is not actually hell, but we mortals are too fragile! If you want to survive, you must have a heart.

A strong enough heart!”

As soon as the words fell, the originally calm water suddenly turned into a raging torrent.

The three people who had just sat down all fell into the boat.

The boat speed is very fast, and the waterfall is very close...

…

"Hiss...Wang Gangdan...Wanxia, ​​you should be familiar with this person, right?" After hearing this, Chu Xiaoming looked at Su Wanxia.

Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen didn't know the inside story, but looking at Su Wanxia's gloomy face, they knew there must be a story to tell.

really……

Su Wanxia, ​​who had been silent for a long time, raised her head and smiled: "Yes, my messenger of justice, who is like a savior, my father married my mother back then because my mother was 70% similar to Wang Gangdan, so... even though I have been around since I was born.
