"Psionic ...... This, this is incredible. ”

Vault 404, Browsing Room on Level B4.

After reading the report from five light years away, Yin Fang put down the tablet in his hand, and his face was full of disbelief.

Let's be honest.

When he first saw this report, Chu Guang was no less surprised than him, and even thought that the kid at Night Ten was working hard, and deliberately put some smoke bombs to tease other people on the forum.

However, as time goes on and more clues are added to the forum posts, this is less likely.

That guy doesn't know how to lie, and if he made up a maximum of three sentences, he would be exposed.

After picking out so many words, he hasn't revealed any flaws, and even scared him as a manager for a moment, it can only be serious.

Putting down the black tea in his hand, Chu Guang said with a subtle expression.

You may not believe it, but in fact, you see this information...... It itself was transmitted from five light-years away by a similar method. ”

Yin Fang was stunned for a while, unable to say a word for a long time, and finally sighed.

"It seems that there are still too many things in this world that we don't understand......"

"But it's also exciting, isn't it?" Chu Guang smiled faintly and said, "A civilization that is thousands or even hundreds of millions of years ahead of us has revealed the mystery of this for us, as long as we continue to search for the clues left by them, we may be able to go further than them." ”

The presence of the player is actually the best proof of this.

The original administrators of Vault 404 had apparently found a way to penetrate the fourth wall, and had built something resembling an "information network" based on the form-forming field.

Although the Alliance's exploration of the form-forming field was still in its early stages, Chu Guang believed that sooner or later they would be able to fully unearth the secrets of it.

Heya stood aside with his arms folded on his chest, and suddenly said with interest.

"I'm curious about the kid from the planet Gaia...... Could that psionic energy be related to some special pheromones in the pituitary gland? ”

Seeing that excited expression, Yin Fang suddenly shuddered for no reason.

Chu Guang coughed.

"I am in favor of a non-interventionist stance on intelligent beings outside the earth...... What's more, they also have human blood in their veins, and some things are forbidden. ”

"I know, I just wanted to borrow a little bit of DNA to study it...... Don't talk like I'm going to disembowel someone, okay? Looking at Chu Guang with a subtle expression, Heya couldn't help but complain.

The barbarians' methods of research were centuries old.

When Chu Guang's expression was subtle.

"I'm just reminding me, nothing else."

At this time, Yin Fang suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"But then again, according to the study, the inhabitants of Vault 404 themselves have some kind of 'psionic' quality, right? It's the ability to transmit information across time and space......"

"Any questions?" Chu Guang looked at him and asked.

"I just think it's a little strange," Yin Fang shrugged his shoulders slightly, "After all, the genetic sequences stored in this vault are all open research projects, but they have always been ...... I haven't heard of anything unusual found here at the Biology Institute. ”

This time, Heya also frowned and fell into deep thought.

"It's a bit weird ...... do"

If the Psionic Awakened had a clear difference in biological traits from other kinds, she would have discovered it long ago.

There is only one explanation.

This difference is not reflected on the biological level......

Chu Guang thought for a while and tried to come up with his own opinion.

"I don't know much about research, but is there a possibility...... Although 'psionic energy' and 'form-forming field' both describe the same phenomenon, but from a different professional perspective, they are equivalent to two sides of a piece of paper. ”

Yin Fang's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin thoughtfully.

"It's kind of interesting......"

Heya was silent for a long time, then sighed and said.

“…… It seems that it can only be left to the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Social Sciences. ”

……

South Gate II, Planet Gaia, deep in the Valley of the Forbidden Forest, a humble cave is buried in the rolling mountains.

The mountain road leading to the entrance of the cave was almost covered with dense vegetation, and the chirping of wild beasts and pterosaurs could be heard in the distance, and the sound of the rope seemed to be in danger lurking in the darkness.

Without a guide to lead the way, even seasoned explorers can get lost.

However, Night Ten, who was walking here in power armor, was walking in his own back garden, and there was no sign of being trapped by the dense forest.

It's not because of how powerful his power armor is, but because his psionic energy gives him the ability to communicate with the "Tree of Insov", where every insect and even every leaf is his eyes.

He is not so much an explorer who intrudes into this forest as he is a guest of this forest.

And this ruin, buried in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, has been waiting for him here for a long time......

"This is it...... The last relic on this planet is a temporary laboratory left behind by Dr. Qiu Shiye, the fifth division of the twin missile cruisers of the Aerospace Forces Fleet. ”

"If nothing else, the missing reactor is here."

No remains of Qiu Shiye were found in the wreckage of the Twins, and the poem engraved on the ruins mentions labyrinths and clouds.

Combined with the meaningful words he left behind, it is reasonable to infer that Dr. Qiu Shiye must have dismantled the reactor and moved it somewhere in the forest.

Even the reactors were dismantled, but also the experimental instruments of the Fifth Department.

In the subsequent investigation, Ye Shi determined the last location of Dr. Qiu Shiye's activity through the growth cycle of the trees, which was the cave located halfway up the mountain.

It used to be a place where the Qiu people held sacrifices, but it was later abandoned due to natural reasons.

As for the purpose of their sacrifice, there is obviously only one reason that can be thought of......

That's where their ancestors were laid to rest.

To be honest, Ye Shi was actually quite unexpected, Jiang Xuezhou actually missed these clues.

With her ability, she would never dig near the bridge, and she would not be able to find a clue to advance the excavation.

Of course, everyone misses sometimes.

And he himself actually relied on psionic tricks to find the cave that seemed to be the entrance to the laboratory, but there was nothing to make fun of her.

Finally reaching the entrance of the cave, Yashi placed a beacon that emitted radio signals at the entrance of the cave, and then checked his expedition tools one last time.

At this moment, a soft hum was heard in the communication channel.

"Humph......"

Hearing the soft cold snort from the communication channel, Ye Shi, who was about to enter the cave, made a helpless expression and sighed.

"My respectful, dear Miss Captain...... May I ask how the contemptible people provoked you? ”

There was a half-silence in the communication channel, followed by the sound of gnashing of teeth.

“…… You know it in your own heart. ”

It's okay to know it in your own heart.

Hearing the angry answer with a hint of grievance, Ye Shi couldn't help but smile.

However, this imperceptible laughter angered a certain vinegar jar who was angry.

“！ You, what are you laughing at! ”

Night Ten said in a mocking tone.

"It's nothing, it's just feeling...... Someone who is sulking is like a little child. ”

Jiang Xuezhou said angrily.

"You're like a child! You are most like a child! ”

The reason for her anger now is not that this guy is good at advising someone to get on the boat, but that he looks like he is being unreasonable.

"Yes, yes, I'm a child, so you let me do it," Ye Shi replied with a smile, paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, you also want to take her with you." ”

Jiang Xuezhou: "!? ”

Seeing that there was no sound on the other end of the communication channel, Ye Shi laughed and teased.

"Did I guess right?"

After about half a minute, a small voice was heard in the communication channel.

"This, is this psychic power?"

Ye Shi thought about it and said.

"Although the mind is also a kind of telepathy...... But I guess this level of telepathy is probably different from the kind of psionic energy you might imagine. ”

Jiang Xuezhou grinned.

"Who's got to know you!"

Ye Shiha laughed out loud and said in a stinky manner.

"Of course it's me, and there can be others who can't."

Didn't continue to play tricks on the snow island.

At this point, he paused for a moment and said in a solemn voice.

"I'm sorry I didn't discuss Dora's matter with you, but...... I really didn't expect you to be jealous because of her affairs. If you mind, I'll make it clear to you and her, and she'll get off the boat when she gets back to Earth."

It is still necessary to bring a "Gaia" representative back to Earth, which is also one of the side quests he receives.

Whether it is for the significance of scientific research or the significance of communication between civilizations, the alliance wants him to bring one or several people back.

In a friendly or bribed way.

Dora left her world of her own volition, so it couldn't be better.

As for what happens between men and women, it's completely irrelevant.

Not to mention nonsense, she didn't show any feelings for him at all.

The worship of ancestors and gods, and the desire to know the truth, are still very different from ordinary worldly feelings.

Not to mention anything else, Dora also had the same reaction to Jiang Xuezhou, and she didn't like it in that regard.

Not to mention the night ten himself.

Da Gui Da, he was shocked and shocked, but he really didn't have that kind of thought.

As for why, it goes back to that nonsense.

However, he actually understands that little girls in love and old girls in menopause are sensitive.

Xiao Jiang is undoubtedly the former.

Hearing Ye Shi's words, Jiang Xuezhou, who was in the synchronous orbit, turned his face red into a lantern, and suddenly jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on.

"Whoever is jealous, you don't make yourself amorous! How could I have eaten the vinegar of the primitives! ”

A smile curled up at the corner of Yashi's mouth, and he kicked the staggering ball back.

"Oh? It seems that I am self-inflicted, may I ask the respected captain, I don't know what happened to the contemptible person who did not do a good job and offended you?. ”

didn't expect the ball to be kicked back, and Jiang Xuezhou, who was caught off guard, hesitated for a while, and finally held back a quibble.

"You, you're assertive...... Without the consent of the captain, let people get on board without authorization. ”

Yashi said with a smile.

"People haven't gotten on the boat yet, and it's too late to regret it. So I'll let her go? Let's find another one? ”

"Hmm-"

Jiang Xuezhou, who was sitting in front of the terminal, seemed to be choked, speechless for a while, blushing and speechless.

After a while, she muttered something quietly.

"You guy...... It always feels like a different person. ”

Ye Shi said with a smile.

"After all, people grow up...... What about you? Feeling a little better? ”

"Not good at all! I'm even more angry! Looking at this smug guy, Jiang Xuezhou glared at the holographic screen fiercely, and shook off a sentence of duplicity.

In fact, she also realized that she was a little unreasonable just now, and she was not like this before.

Most of the time, she was the more reliable one, but this time it was the other way around.

It's all to blame on this dog man......

Jiang Xuezhou, who was blushing, took a deep breath to calm down his swaying mood and return his attention to work.

"It's up to you to explore the ruins...... Front, be careful. ”

"Roger."

Raising his hand to say hello to the sky, Yashi put away his checked equipment, and then strode towards the interior of the cave......

……

The dark silence of the nameless cave was particularly conspicuous by the sound of footsteps on the gravel.

The communication channel was silent, and there was no sound either.

Ye Shi, who was walking in the cave, suddenly remembered that Jiang Xuezhou seemed to be very afraid of the dark.

I don't know if she has already broken the armrest of the chair sitting in front of the screen at this time.

Or simply turn the camera off.

Thinking so, Night Ten bypassed a pillar of stalactites with a greasy sheen, and finally found traces of someone visiting near a slope.

It was a crooked staircase, and the square steps were clearly hand-hewn.

The scratches on the bevel on one side look like they were rubbed out when the equipment was being moved.

"This hole is weirdly spacious."

Ye Shi glanced around with a flashlight, and while there was a surprised expression on his face, he couldn't help but have a trace of excitement in his eyes.

It is not only the staircase under his feet that shows signs of artificial excavation, but also the rock walls on both sides.

I see.

Those Qiu people's skills of digging mines and building houses were honed in this cave after a long time!

His instincts told Night Ten that the end of this ruin was not far ahead.

"I'll go down and see."

With this in the communication channel, he crouched down and slid down the slope towards the space below the stairs.

With a cacophony of metallic friction, his feet quickly touched the ground and landed in a wide cavern.

The area is very large, and it looks like it has been widened on the basis of the original cave.

Yajuchi raised his flashlight and looked ahead, and soon found an alloy door.

It was not so much a door as a steel plate lying across the hole.

And it is clear that it was a steel plate removed from the wreckage of the starship.

A small exclamation was heard in the communication channel.

"You really found ......"

Listening to the incredible exclamation, Ye Shi gently curled the corners of his mouth proudly.

He didn't speak, but stepped forward and reached out to remove the rusty steel plate.

"I shouldn't use much fuel if it's just an experiment......"

Hopefully there is still left.
