Lin Xuexi retrieved his identity card, then put Wen Xiu and Horod's heads in a bag, and walked out of the gate of the Fairy Bay community with them in his hands.

"Dear Ms. Lin Xuexi, thank you for riding the 'Hope' gravitational shuttle again, how can I help you?"

The vicinity of the Hope gravitational shuttle was full of messy footprints, all covered with a thin layer of snow, and it seemed that the people of Sanctuary Cove had lost interest in it recently.

Lin Xuexi swiped open the hatch with her ID card, and when she was about to step onto the Hope, she hesitated.

She picked up a branch and wrote a few words on the snow, then threw it away and quickly returned to the gravitational shuttle, and before she knew it, she was already in tears.

Lin Xuexi put the bag and rifle on the ground, sat quietly on the chair, and watched the hatch of the gravitational shuttle close little by little.

"Activate the stealth coating and go back to base." Lin Xuexi gave the order in a calm tone.

"Yes! Lady! "The Hope rose vertically and disappeared into the sky.

***

The bodies of Lena and Blake lay on their sides on the ground, each with a large bloody hole in their heads, and their blood flowed from under their respective bodies, mixing together, forming a large puddle on the tiled floor.

Lifus didn't know why Lena was still defending Black at the last moment of life and death, and he didn't know whether Lena was an accomplice to the cruelty of civilians in the Immortal Kingdom over the years, and these questions became mysteries with her death.

He pressed his index finger on the back of Lena's hand, retrieved his nanobot, and rummaged through the rooms.

There was nothing of value in most of the rooms, and the interesting thing was that the people of the Immortal Kingdom had collected a large amount of valuable jewelry and cash, but these things were worthless in the last days, and they couldn't even exchange a mouthful of food.

Finally, in a computer that appeared to be used for bookkeeping, Lifus found a detailed form of the donors that the Immortal Country had provided to the Alliance over the years, and from 2588 AD to the present, a total of 371 people had been sent from Immortal Bay to the Alliance's base in Hotan.

There are few records for the last two years, with the majority of donors being supplied between 2588 and 2604.

It is unimaginable that such a small community of dozens of people has killed so many people, not counting the victims killed and eaten by them, and the number must be very staggering.

The computer also stored some videos of the victims being abused, abused and killed, and the scenes were so bloody and violent that Lifus could not stand it after watching only a little, he picked up his rifle and smashed the computer to pieces, and then dragged the corpses in all the rooms to the courtyard in the middle of the community, piled them up, doused them with gasoline, and burned them.

Thick black smoke rose into the sky, human fat was sizzling, and the smell of grease even came from the fire.

Li Fusi suddenly thought of a question, he didn't see Lin Xuexi when he searched the room, and he still didn't see her when he dragged the corpse, he quickly searched room by room, and there was still no shadow of Lin Xuexi.

Where did she go? The Sanctuary Bay community is not large, and if it weren't for the deliberate hiding, it shouldn't have been absent for so long.

With a bad premonition, Lifus ran outside the neighborhood and observed the shoe prints on the road, but the shoe prints near the neighborhood were too messy to be distinguished.

So he walked a little farther away, and on the snow road where the shoe prints were gradually thinning, he soon found Lin Xuexi's shoe prints, some forward and some backward.

"She did." Lifus thought to himself, "What is she going to do when she goes back?" The grain hasn't been loaded yet. He thought that Lin Xuexi just went back to the tractor and waited for him.

But when he walked to the tractor, he found that Lin Xuexi was not in the cab, and her shoe prints were still stretching forward.

Lifus finally sensed that something was wrong, and he slung his rifle on his back and ran as fast as he could.

Almost two kilometers away from the Sanctuary Bay community, Lin Xuexi's shoe prints walked off the road and slid diagonally into the woods by the roadside.

There is a large open space in the woods, which is very hidden, and you can't see it even from the road, and there are many trees to cover it.

Lifus followed Lin Xuexi's footsteps here, and Lin Xuexi's shoe prints stopped abruptly here and disappeared out of thin air.

"Did you fly away?" Livers muttered to himself, there were three symmetrical chicken claw-like marks in the clearing, imprinted on the snow, most likely a flying machine, but it was so close to Fairy Cove, Livers didn't hear any noise that a flying machine should have when it took off, which was very strange.

Due to the recent snowfall, only Lin Xuexi's shoe prints here are relatively clear, and there are still a large number of messy footprints covered by snow, Lifus thinks that it may be left by the people of Immortal Bay who came to this place, and if there is a living mouth, maybe he can ask something.

Lifus recalled the scene when Lin Xuexi killed Lena and Blake just now, and now thought that it was probably to kill her, she didn't want to let herself know her secret.

"She's still hiding a lot of things."

Li Fusi took a few steps forward and found that there were a few words on the snow in front of her, which were a message written by Lin Xuexi to him, and she had already calculated that Li Fusi would find this place.

"I'm sorry to forget me."

Lifus saw these six words, and understood them.

Suddenly, his heart was like a knife, his body lost its center of gravity, and he fell on his back on the cold snow.

"I could have lost her forever." Lifus thought sadly.

He lay there, motionless, very sad in his heart, but did not want to cry.

There was no wind in the woods, it was eerily quiet, and he could hear his own heartbeat, his breathing.

He recalled the little bits and pieces he had spent with Lin Xuexi these days, and those sweet, beautiful, and even shy pictures had now turned into daggers and pierced his heart.

"Just let me die here." Lifus felt that his heart was now like ashes, as if his life had passed away with Lin Xuexi's departure.

He regretted that he didn't hide a nanobot on Lin Xuexi's body, regretted not asking for her email address, regretted not having a good talk with her on the way here, and regretted that he always felt that the future was long, and he didn't know that things were wrong in the blink of an eye.

He just lay there all the time, sometimes thinking about something, sometimes his mind went blank, and he couldn't feel the passage of time, and he didn't know how long it had passed.

The sky was getting darker, the trees around were blurry black shadows, and in some places in the night sky, there were some places in the haze that occasionally saw glowing stars flickering away.

"Could that be her?" Lifus saw a meteor streaked across the sky, but it was actually only a short trajectory, and then it was obscured by the earth's haze.

Lifus has seen the online pictures of Lin Xuexi when she was still a big star, at that time she was so beautiful that she didn't look like a person on this barren planet, Lifus is now willing to believe that she is an alien, otherwise it would be too difficult for her to survive in this cruel world with a weak girl with a disability.

"I'm sorry, I still can't forget you."

Lifus said to the night sky.
