Chapter 360: Maybe It's Not an Accident......

Behind the accident is not accidental, and what you see is not true.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breaking away from the state of lost soul and numbing the mind with a huge amount of knowledge that has never been seen before, it is as if the girl whose life has completely collapsed hypnotizes herself, making herself think that she has come out of the pain of losing Yunyun, but at this moment she finally realizes this: the cloud that hangs over her heart has never gone away.

Even if she frantically read all kinds of books, and even studied those ancient Chinese books that most Xihai people didn't like to read at all, she never really got rid of that pain. When the appearance used for disguise collapsed in the violent emotional fluctuations, she finally saw the self again, the fragile and mournful self.

Yun Yun ...... Got news? The world in Xiaoxi's eyes seemed to be spinning, and she couldn't stand firm under this emotion, so she could only whisper softly in a voice that was so slight that it was almost impossible for others to hear, "Really...... Can I really still find her whereabouts? ”

Didn't she think about how good it would be if Yun Yun was just missing and not dead? But the fragment of the shattered cyan exoskeleton had been a reminder of how terrifying Yun Yun had been attacked at the last moment, and the hope of surviving in this state was obviously extremely slim, and over time it seemed that she had given up hope herself.

"Didn't you hear? Is this going to continue translating those ancient Chinese books? Teacher Shanfeng glanced at the notes and dictionaries spread out in the secret room, seemed to understand something, and asked directly into the empty place, "Bai Xi, didn't you play that announcement here?" ”

The next moment, Miss Bai Xi's familiar voice sounded in the room.

"According to the theoretical equivalent reasoning, the secret room located under the maze of books is an absolutely safe area, so it is judged that an evacuation notice is not required."

"Is that so?" Shanfeng frowned and looked at Xiaoxi, "Now that there have been some unexpected changes in the Holy City, it should be absolutely safe if you have been hiding in this secret room hidden deep underground, but if you want to get news of Yunyun, then you have to risk going up......"

"Where should I go to find clues, I'll get out right away." Xiaoxi answered this question without hesitation, not even caring about the translation notes that had been painstakingly organized, and directly grabbed Shanfeng's hand and asked in a pleading tone, "As long as you know Yunyun's whereabouts, what can you do......"

"Then get ready to get out of here." There seemed to be a hint of inexplicable emotion in Shanfeng's tone, and he looked at the dry food meaningfully, "What about you, do you plan to stay here or go out together?" ”

The dry food was silent for a moment, and then put the ancient Chinese books in his hand back to their original positions on the shelf: "Of course, let's go out and have a look." ”

……

The Holy City, which has been the cultural and economic center of the Shiokai people for thousands of years, also experienced bloody wars with opponents when it was first established, but since the overall situation has been decided, it has become a peaceful place with no quarrel with the world, so long that even the oldest Shiokai people in the Holy City have not encountered anything like this a few times...... The crisis that could almost destroy most of the Holy City.

[Explosion Red Warning, Repeat, Explosion Red Warning, All ordinary citizens please quickly enter the nearest bunker to take shelter, do not approach the center of the city, warning, do not approach the center of the city! ] 】

When this kind of warning, which most people had never heard in their lifetimes, sounded throughout the Holy City, many people could hear the voice of Miss Bai Yu, the librarian they were familiar with. After a brief moment of stunnedness, a large number of Shiokai residents quickly put down what they were doing and retreated towards the bunker facilities in the Holy City in an orderly manner according to the warning...... That's weird! Do you think that the Holy City is a certain Tiangong City that has encountered a space earthquake alarm at both ends in three days? Because of the long period of calm, not to mention that most of the people in the tide sea didn't react to what the situation was at all, even if they realized the current situation, most of them didn't know where the bunkers in the holy city were!

Thus, this seemingly serious warning of danger had the opposite effect, stimulating at once an instinct that is probably common to most intelligent beings: a strong urge to watch.

In short, when they returned to the entrance of the Holy City Library, and saw a large number of Xihai people on the street squeezing towards the center of the city curiously one by one under the warning of "Do not approach the center of the city", Xiaoxi was sure that she saw the extremely speechless expression on the face of Teacher Shanfeng...... It was quite rare for him to show such an expression, and after a moment of hesitation, Mr. Sugi led them back to the elevator-like moving cubicles at the entrance of the library, and said to Miss Bai Yu familiarly, "Bai Xi, you know, just send us to that place in the center of the Holy City." ”

“…… Huh? Before Xiaoxi could react to what this meant, she heard Miss Bai Xi's voice with a slight smile sounding from those miniature devices: "Understood, prepare to cut into the underground moving track." ”

Miss Bai Yu is definitely not just a librarian, and there is definitely some secret behind it. This was what Xiaoxi thought when she walked out of a wall next to a street a few minutes later, she knew that the Holy City Library had a complex terrain called the Book Labyrinth underground, but she didn't think that those moving cubicles were never just limited to the Book Sea Labyrinth, but that there were intricate underground passages in a much larger area.

She looked up, and in the sky not far in front of her was the artificial sun shining on the Holy City, and even though the dazzling light made it almost impossible to look directly, she could vaguely see the tall building that connected it just below the artificial sun...... It was both a cable channel for the energy to be extracted from the giant fusion reactor and an area for maintenance and adjustment, but at the front of the building stood a large number of Shiokai people, most of whom were armed men with law enforcement logos and slender weapons.

"There's something I haven't told you before." Shanfeng looked at the area surrounded by armed men, took Xiaoxi's hand and walked over there, while the dry food followed thoughtfully, "Do you remember the exoskeleton fragment that I asked you to borrow for a while?" ”

"I remember." Xiaoxi nodded, originally she was reluctant to let the last wreckage that might be left by Yun Yun leave her body, but Shanfeng said at the time that if she tested this exoskeleton fragment, it might be helpful to find Yun Yun's whereabouts, so she temporarily handed over the fragment to him, but in the end, when Shanfeng returned the fragment to her, it was as expected that there was no valuable discovery.

"Actually, I didn't tell you everything at the time, I did send the exoskeleton fragment to a special institution for scanning and analysis." Shanfeng's tone was very calm at this time, but the more calm this kind of calm, the more Xiaoxi felt a deep pressure, "The scanning results at that time were very strange, although there was only a small fragment left, professional instruments could still identify the owner of this fragment...... It's male. ”

"What did you say!" Xiaoxi exclaimed, she naturally knew that this kind of thing was not a lie, there was a very subtle difference in the composition of the exoskeleton armor between the Xihai people of different genders, if it was under a professional instrument, this difference would never be mistaken, and Shanfeng had no need to lie to her, "Then this fragment is ...... at all"

"That's right, this piece isn't from Yun Yun at all, and I think you'll be surprised to see its true owner again." Shanfeng touched Xiaoxi's head as she did back then, and then dodged her body, allowing the figure surrounded by armed men in front of her to appear in Xiaoxi's eyes, "Actually, sometimes the truth is not difficult to guess. ”

At that moment, countless details that had been inadvertently ignored repeated themselves in Xiaoxi's mind again, flashing in front of her like going back in time. One accident is an accident, and two accidents are also accidents, so the events produced by countless accidental collisions must be ......

"It can't be!" She looked at the figure surrounded by the law enforcement team, even after such a long time, she still recognized the identity of the other party at once, and it was precisely because of this that Xiaoxi felt strong disbelief, "How could it be...... Xuefeng senior? ”

……

"There's no way you're going to wait here for the rest of your life, and there's a good chance it's too late now!" Xue Feng let out a rare roar, but his originally calm appearance became very irritable at this time, he lowered his body and groped in the sand, and then seemed to have found something, stretched out his hand and handed it to Xiaoxi, "You take a closer look at what this thing is!" ”

There was no need to hesitate at all about what this was, because this kind of thing they could see and touch every day, it was a small piece of dark cyan hard fragment from the structure of the exoskeleton of the Shikai people.

……

Xue Feng took one last look at the messy scratches on the sand, from which it could be seen that Yun Yun was struggling frantically at the end, his eyes were a little complicated, and he said slowly in a voice that no one could hear: "I'm sorry." ”

Then, he resolutely turned around, gently stroked the back of his right hand with his left hand, and slowly left the place behind Xiaoxi.

……

"After the detection of the instrument, the age, gender and even body shape of the owner of the exoskeleton fragment are completely consistent with Xuefeng, and we also found corresponding damage marks on the back of his hand." Shanfeng said slowly, her sharp eyes always staring at the fearless figure in front of her surrounded by law enforcement officers, "Xiaoxi, it's time to face reality, he lied to you, and I'm afraid it's not just a white lie, do you really think it's an accident that the deep submersible collided with the wave whale?" ”

"Yukikaze...... Senior Xuefeng, he is ......"

"He's a member of the Truth Spreading Society, their undercover agent in the Holy City." Shanfeng sighed softly, not knowing what was going on in her eyes, "And now that he has become a terrorist who could destroy the Holy City at any time, that accident at the deep submersible may not be accidental." ”
