"It's true, Brother Taylor, I know that the people in the base are thinking of me as crazy, and maybe they will make a big fuss about this and make me lose my contract and lose my job, but I will be glad that they did, and that may be the only chance for me to return to the Martial Emperor without losing my citizenship."

"Maybe they'll inform my cousin who teaches in Sixue City, because he was the one who found a way to get me on the Cadmus Colony Ship, or maybe they'll put me in an insane asylum, or any other institution that treats a bad mess in my head, and I'll gladly they did, and get out of this place, Steven...... I mean, maybe his ghost won't come to me anymore. ”

Kevin looked around as if someone else was in the room, his expression nervous, and one hand clenched a holographic board in his hand.

A madman? In this mining base, which has no more than 500 people in total? The psychological damage of colonial life far from home may be greater than imagined for ordinary people, how many people here are like this Kevin? This was the first time he had ever come out of the base's high-level office, what were the odds of that?

Lucas pondered in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

"Tell me what you know." He felt that he should ask Kevin about anything about Steven.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you, but where to start? By the way, I don't remember the exact time, but it was when they left the base in a ground-skimming vehicle...... I mean Steven and the captain of that carrier...... The man's name...... I can't remember it for a while. ”

"Perry. Gomez. Lucas told him that it was the person who had disappeared with Steven, and that his name was written in a briefing for families at Tomorrow's Better Cadmus Mining Base.

"Yes, Perry!" Kevin patted his head. "A talented guy, he looks a hundred times stronger than me, and he has a very good figure, and he may have been a soldier before. But it is said that since Valkyria escaped from the hands of the Walkens, she began to be unlucky, did not get her pension, was assigned to the freight department of the Development Commission, and then was unlucky enough to be sent on this errand with a boatload of toilet paper and expired cheese, and almost robbed the old fritter Marvern. Dennis's rice bowl ......"

"Yes, I know I'm a little wordy, so let's make a long story short...... The two of them haven't come back since they left the base, and the base didn't start sending people out to look for it until two days later, but you also know what the result was, Gibson and his people found the ground sweeper at Heisenberg's old base, but they couldn't find Steven and Perry, and when the team came back, Woody was driving a mining machine in the base. Sullivan and Steven also had some personal relationships, so they asked the head of the security here to personally bring someone to find them, and then they still found nothing. ”

"And then?" When Lucas saw him stop, he couldn't help but ask.

"Later? After that, they stayed there for three days, this time with all the equipment they could bring, and they did a carpet scan with the life detector and found nothing, so everyone thought that Steven and the two of them should have been vaporized by some strange energy device, or they had left the hell place on foot and died lost in the wasteland of Cadmus. ”

Kevin's expression became solemn when he said this, he leaned close to Lucas, lowered his voice and said: "You should know, that ghost place is an ominous place, and I heard Woody say that the rumors that Heisenberg sent True Guard mercenaries there to kill everyone are true. ”

Seeing that Lucas still didn't show a hint of expression, Kevin decided to brag on his friend's behalf: "Unlike me, Woody has a great diploma from the School of Geology, which is a bit like my cousin, but he is a professor, maybe a little more learned than Woody." However, in the city of twin schools, a guy like my cousin can kill more than a dozen people when a brick falls, and in the hapless bubble of Cadmus, there aren't many learned guys like Woody, so I completely believe what he says. ”

"So you gave up after that?" Lucas asked.

"Didn't you give up, so what else could you do? Gibson told everyone in the bar that he couldn't go up to the bloody disaster, he was the security captain here, although he was a bastard, his words always carried some weight, and besides, that ghost place was indeed eerie, and the miners who went there said that although it was deserted for a long time, there was still a sense of slaughter, and some of the walls could even see the blood stains left over from the massacre. You know, most of the people who can come here are guys like me, who read less books, but always have a few more eyes in their hearts, like this kind of jealous god and ghost thing, it is better not to provoke it or not to provoke it. Kevin nodded as he spoke, as if to wrap up his words.

Lucas closed his eyes at the moment, trying to calm his emotions, his mind stirring, full of anger at the information he had just obtained.

Therefore, it is not like the mining base reported to the Development Committee, sending people to look around every once in a while, they have only looked for it twice so far, and one of them was spontaneously proposed by the base personnel!

"Kevin......" Lucas said at this time.

"What?" The distracted dispatcher refocused his gaze, seemingly struggling to stay focused.

"The ghost?" Lucas asked.

"Yes, I was about to say this, ghosts, Steven's ghosts!" Kevin swallowed, a flash of fear in his eyes.

"He's here, right here, in this base, he's been to this tower!" He shouted.

"Go on......" Lucas urged him to stop with a look of horror.

"Yes, go ahead...... But I don't remember the exact day, and obviously you can probably see that I was born with a bad memory, and it's strange that my mother gave birth to me and was still working all night for my doctoral dissertation, drinking too many refreshing drinks, smoking too many cigarettes, so there was one more freak in the family who couldn't even graduate from high school, and I couldn't do anything about it, and unlike my cousins who graduated with honors in schooltown, I couldn't understand the damn limits, variables, and function sets, and I couldn't be like my other cousin, Successful degree by rote memorization......"

"You're stupid." Lucas nodded at him, his bluntness apparently didn't embarrass Kevin, but rather seemed to be relieved.

"Yes, I was born that way, but the only pity is that I wasn't stupid enough to forget shame, so you can imagine my experience of so many years in a scholarly family." Kevin looked at Lucas with some shame, and it took a long time to find that the other party maintained an indifferent expression.
