One week before Xian Qianhua disappeared.

Yan Sichen, who took Sky Elevator 1 from Starport back to the camp, was just about to go back to his room to rest when he was stopped by No. 1 at the entrance to the shooting range.

The two of them just met each other and understood each other's meaning after exchanging glances.

Follow No. 1 around the shooting range to the underground hangar.

No. 2 and Xian Qianhua were waiting for them in a hidden corner.

After the four of them gathered together, Yan Sichen took out a rose-gold voucher and followed the door in the corner before it was opened.

After entering, passing through a deep trail, in a simple underground space with four walls, the replica carrier core is conducting a comprehensive analysis of another "chunk of meat".

The people responsible for supervising this analysis process are Shen Yinuo and Chu Xiaoming.

Both of them were wearing protective clothing, holding crystal plates in their hands, and their faces were solemn. They had lost the relaxed and comfortable look they had in the camp.

After everyone arrived, No. 1 said: "If my prediction is correct, they should make some moves in the next few days, but we can't confront them head-on. We have to create some opportunities for them."

Xian Qianhua said: "I have discussed this with Yi Nuo. I will go out rock climbing with her in a few days. Then I will pretend to be missing and you will organize a rescue together. This opportunity should be real and natural enough, right?"

"Well..." No. 2 nodded, and he asked Chu Xiaoming: "Xiaoming, are you sure they will come?"

At this time, Chu Xiaoming was no longer the Chef Chu who spent all day in the kitchen studying recipes. He adjusted the multifunctional glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Unless they think we have no value, they will definitely come back. That's it." Samantha and I see eye to eye."

"Oh? Is that so? Samantha?"

"Yes, I am more than 70% sure that they will show up, but you'd better be prepared to deal with them in advance. After all, the other party may be very difficult to deal with."

"Well... this reminds me." No. 1 lowered his head and thought for a moment: "I guess we have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, but if we treat the entire camp as a hunting ground and set some traps for them, I believe we will be able to win. many."

"The whole camp is used as a hunting ground? Hey, you're betting a bit too much," Xian Qianhua said in surprise.

Yan Sichen also had the same idea: "Yes, Wanxia, ​​if we still have reservations, we should still be able to afford the loss, but if we go all-in, we may lose everything."

However, No. 1 said calmly: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. This matter will be left to the two of us. You will be responsible for playing your part. When the time is right, it will be time for us to reveal the truth. "

Yan Sichen and Xian Qianhua were still a little worried after hearing this, but they chose to believe in No. 1's judgment.

"Okay, then... let's do this."

"Wait." Shen Yinuo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at her in confusion.

Shen Yinuo put down the crystal plate and asked No. 1 Su Wanxia: "Wanxia, ​​do you really believe that the Lord of the Past exists?"

Everyone was even more puzzled when they heard this, because everyone seemed to have reached a consensus on this matter. Otherwise, how could they have been conspiring under this camp for more than ten years?

But only Su Wanxia knew what Shen Yinuo was worried about.

He smiled slightly: "Believe me, everything will go well."

Shen Yinuo nodded slightly and did not question anything.

…

One week later.

According to the requirements of the script, Xian Qianhua and Shen Yinuo put on simple space suits spray-painted with exaggerated graffiti as usual and then drove terrain vehicles to the predetermined location.

The Fararim Canyon is located 327 kilometers northwest of Lihan Crater. It is a water-eroded canyon formed about 700 million years ago.

Scientists were very excited when they first discovered it, because this canyon can almost fully prove that there was once a rich source of water on Mars.

But now that Xian Qianhua and Shen Yinuo, who have arrived at the Farram Grand Canyon, looking at the bottomless canyon, they can only lament that Mars once had water sources.

"I think this side is pretty good, why don't we start here." Xian Qianhua chose an edge that looked dangerous and stopped the car.

Shen Yinuo also stopped the car. She was carrying a modified emergency rescue rope on her back, but she had no intention of using it.

Today, the two of them will challenge themselves to rock climb on Mars without the help of any protective equipment.

The gravity of Mars is much smaller than that of the Earth. Two ladies with perfect figures weigh about 100 kilograms on the Earth, but they only weigh more than 30 kilograms here. This kind of gravity can greatly reduce the difficulty of rock climbing on Mars, but the protection The weight of the suit itself cannot be ignored. In addition, without any emergency life-saving props to assist, it is still a retrograde road from top to bottom. The risk factor of such rock climbing is still extremely high.

However, Xian Qianhua dared not even take a photo of Mars, let alone rock climbing with Mars, so she started before Shen Yinuo started.

Shen Yinuo also followed immediately.

Although neither of them has received professional training, they have had enough time to learn and explore on their own over the years.

Therefore, rock climbing movements can be considered relatively professional.

But when the two of them descended thirty meters, Xian Qianhua suddenly smiled and said, "I'll wait for you below." Then she let go, her body fell backwards and disappeared into the darkness of the canyon.

Shen Yinuo was dumbfounded. This was very different from their original plan.

So she hurriedly called out Xian Qianhua's name, and at the same time let go of her hand, trying to find Xian Qianhua's figure with the help of the auxiliary descent device of the space suit.

However, after reaching the bottom, what Shen Yinuo saw made her froze.

…

Shen Yinuo, who hurried back to the camp, was confused all the way.

, she could no longer tell whether she was alive or dead, and always felt as if she was in a dream.

The anxious people waiting in the camp immediately became busy after hearing that Xian Qianhua was missing. Everyone acted very realistically.

But only No. 1 Su Wanxia saw the strange behavior of Shen Yinuo... She was not acting...

This uneasiness made No. 1 suspicious. He followed the others and left the camp, but he was uneasy along the way.

…

after an hour.

Things turned out exactly as described in the script, they came.

The preset trap was triggered, and Su Wanxia, ​​who was wearing a mechanical exoskeleton and was taller than No. 1 and No. 2, was blown away more than ten meters by the explosion.

Su Wanxia's body was severely damaged when she landed in the open space outside the camp, and she almost lost her combat capability.

Xian Qianhua, who came after hearing the sound, had just entered the pressure chamber and had not had time to calibrate the data. She heard a sharp roar and the pressure chamber exploded.

The last scene that Su Wanxia saw in the eyes of Su Wanxia, ​​who fell to the ground unconscious, was that Xian Qianhua followed the pressure chamber and turned into pieces.

He himself was also affected twice. His back hit the solar panel bracket outside the camp. The metal pierced the armor on his back. The pressure was unbalanced and the oxygen was lost rapidly. Su Wanxia's life was at stake.

But he still survived.

Because all the actors who went to rescue Xian Qianhua came back.

…

"Say it."

"What did you say?" Su Wanxia, ​​who was locked on the bed with a restraint, looked like Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs.

Although he is not a bloodthirsty psychology expert, his calm expression shows his super high psychological quality.

Because the person responsible for interrogating him at this moment is himself.

This statement sounds really weird and convoluted.

To put it simply, it is like Su Wanxia talking to herself in interrogation room 4 with two mirrors in front of her.

"who are you?"

"I am who I am, do you two have any doubts about who you are?" Su Wanxia laughed.

No. 1 and No. 2 looked at each other, and No. 1 asked again: "What's going on with the 'meat'? Are you here to destroy it?"

"No comment." Su Wanxia had no intention of cooperating. He looked at the glass on both sides of the interrogation room and said, "Stop looking outside the room. If you want to say anything, just come in and ask whatever you want."

However, the door to interrogation room 4 did not open.

No. 2 also looked at the glass on both sides, and then sneered: "There is no one outside, it's just the three of us now."

"Oh? That's it..." Su Wanxia was a little surprised, and he took a deep breath: "How long have I been unconscious?"

"one day one Night."

"Where's Qian Hua?"

"Which one are you referring to?"

"Of course it's the one with me."

"died."

"died?"

"right."

"What did you do?"

"No, she was so unlucky that she walked directly into the trap and was blown up by the pressurized cabin." No. 1 said and played the video of the scene to Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia closed her eyes and said, "Don't show me these, I don't want to have any more nightmares."

"Well... let's answer our first question, who are you?"

"Asking knowingly." Su Wanxia smiled, showing no integrity at all. This seemed to be completely different from the character of No. 1 and No. 2 in front of him.
