Chapter 638: A rescue (please vote for the super large chapter)
Navigator·The fourth annular cabin
In a small, dark room, a tall woman with bandages on her arms and legs was sitting alone in a dark environment.
She didn't know how long she had been in this safe house.
This is the safe house specially built for him by Minister Ye Yun. Outside the window is a dark corridor.
There was silence outside.
I don’t know how long it has been since the last time Minister Ye and Minister He walked past the window.
She didn't know if it was an emotional problem caused by staying in this dark room for too long, but she always felt a little uneasy.
In this dark loneliness, she felt homesick.
Fortunately, according to the experience of previous ruins exploration.
There is a time limit for entering the ruins. Theoretically, as long as she waits in the ruins for three days, the ruins passage will naturally bring all the surviving people back to the real world.
She stood up and looked out the silent window.
Three days is both a long time and a short time.
You can go home soon.
Zila——
In this silent darkness, something seemed to be squirming slightly.

Navigator Core Control Room
In He Ao's sight, a figure in ragged clothes and covered in blood walked into the core control room.
It seemed like it was his first time here, and he looked at the towering metal pillars around him with some surprise.
Soon, he found He Ao sitting on the edge of the wall, covered in scars.
However, he did not come over immediately, but kept a safe distance, raised the microcomputer in his hand, wrote a sentence in front of the computer screen, and showed it to He Ao.
The sentence was written in the institute's standard codeword, with the prefixes 'leaf' and 'river'.
Decrypted, it means, ‘The landscape in my hometown is beautiful’.
After showing this sentence, he raised his head and looked at He Ao.
He Ao raised his bloody hand and slowly wrote a signature on the ground.
When the visitor saw the signature, he breathed a long sigh of relief and walked over quickly. He glanced at the dead Yin Weier on the ground, feeling a little surprised and a little surprised.
"He Ao? Did you succeed?"
"Um."
He Ao chewed the meat and nodded slightly.
As he moved, the wound was torn again and bright red blood flowed out.
"Sir, your injury needs treatment," A02's voice sounded again, "The purification circle in this hall was built for me. You can destroy the circle and take away the authority key, and I will not be eroded by pollution."
"What do we do next?"
Hearing these words, Ye Yun glanced at the broken microcomputer and looked at He Ao.
"My injury is okay."
He Ao reached out and touched the bone sword on the ground, seeming to be trying to hold the bone sword to prop himself up.
At this time, Ye Yun hurriedly came over. His right hand supported He Ao's arm stretching towards the bone sword with a little force, while his left hand stretched out his hand, as if to support He Ao's other hand.
And just when his left hand passed He Ao's chest, a dagger suddenly popped out of his hand and probed into He Ao's heart.
puff--
The dagger just stopped in the air, and his wrist was tightly pinched by He Ao, unable to move forward even half a minute.
"Did you guess it?"
Ye Yun raised his head and looked at He Ao.
At the same time, he suddenly released He Ao's right hand, a new dagger popped out of his hand, and stabbed forward.
Go straight to Ho O's throat.
This time, He Ao raised his left hand, with the palm of his hand pointing straight up. He grabbed his wrist with the back of his hand, and violently pushed it outward. While pushing his wrist away, he switched to grabbing, and wanted to clamp his wrist again.
hand.
boom--
At this moment, a strong wind carrying severe pollution erupted from the center of the entire hall, disturbing He Ao's concentration.
Gray lines appeared on Ye Yun's cheeks, and then he used force and pulled back his right hand, before He Ao's palm could grasp his right hand, and withdrew his right hand.
He wanted to step back and get out of the way, but his other hand was firmly clamped by He Ao.
At this time, he did not hesitate. He swung his sword and cut off the left hand held by He Ao. Then he quickly rolled backwards, widened the distance from He Ao, and quickly walked to the gate.
"It seems that you are not soft on yourself,"
He Ao threw away the clamped arm, picked up the mechanical sword and bone sword on the ground, dragged his body's injuries, staggered forward, he looked at 'Ye Yun', "I should call you 'Ye Yun'
Yun', or should I call you Mr. David of World Tree?"
"Flesh and blood are nothing but materials that will only age,"
'David' stepped back and stood in front of the large hole in the gate that was broken by Yin Weier. At this moment, a 'skin' similar to 'paper scraps' began to appear on his face and clothes.
Then, this layer of skin peeled off like catkins, revealing a young man wearing indirect sportswear and with brown-blond hair. "It seems you have more information than I expected."
Clumps of bulging steel emerged from behind David and connected to his severed half arm covered in blood.
Soon, a new steel arm was restored. He looked at He Ao, "So how did you discover my identity?"
"It's not that difficult,"
He Ao staggered to the side of the dodecahedron in the middle. He glanced at the dodecahedron crystal. The powerful pollution that had just interfered with his actions erupted from this crystal.
But he didn't go further, but just stood there, raised his head, and looked at David,
"Your plan is perfect. In order to avoid being seen by others in your disguise, you chose to enter the spacecraft alone.
"But walking alone will inevitably arouse suspicion, so you let a member of the institute appear alone near you. After you complete the disguise, you immediately run over to rescue her, so that you can easily gain her trust, and
She can also be your 'evidence' to prove your identity.
"I think that when you tried to pretend to be Ye Yun, you should have collected information about Ye Yun in detail and analyzed Ye Yun's character.
"These 'homework' have become an important part of your disguise."
“Very good analysis,“
David looked at He Ao with a smile, and a violent mechanical trembling sound came from behind him, "But all the speculations you are making now are based on the premise that I am a pretender, so,"
He looked at He Ao, "How did you identify me?"
"Do you still remember that Ye Yun has a sister who calls herself a fan of mine?"
Ho looked at David.
"Ye Yun dotes on his sister, what's wrong with my behavior?"
David frowned slightly.
"No, your performance was perfect. You showed Ye Yun's love, care and concern for his sister so vividly. Your emotions and acting skills are very good,"
He Ao smiled and glanced at the signature he had just written behind him, "Ye Yun once asked me for my signature for his sister."
Hearing this answer, David was stunned. He reacted instantly and laughed dumbly and said,
"I thought it was unlikely that you would talk about anything unrelated to work during the short one or two hours of contact. I was being smart. In order to highlight the authenticity of Ye Yun's identity, I even talked about his sister."
Having said this, he paused and said thoughtfully, "So you became suspicious of me, and then used your signature as a secret code to test me when I asked for a secret code?"
At this moment, he finally understood the key. "It turns out that you started to doubt me when I mentioned 'sister'. I thought I was pretending well. I have to say, He Ao, you are more wary than me."
It was much heavier than I imagined.”
"You are also very good at taking advantage of people's wariness, aren't you? You suddenly agreed with me to use a code word, wasn't it just for that moment?"
He Ao looked at him with a smile, "When we meet again after separation, and after identity verification, people's wariness can easily relax. This is the best time for a sneak attack."
In fact, when 'Ye Yun' talked about his sister, it did not arouse He Ao's suspicion.
What ultimately made He Ao more suspicious of 'Ye Yun' was that after entering the core area, the pollution he encountered was very low.
In the outer annular cabin, the pollution is low, which can be said to be good luck.
But after entering the core axis, the pollution is still low, which is a bit strange.
After all, He Ao saw the "fog" that almost enveloped the entire central axis from the huge picture window.
The pollution intensity in the core area enveloped by the mist containing the footprints of the gods was actually far less than that of the annular cabin outside.
It seemed as if the pollution was deliberately dispersed, and He and Ao made way for them to easily reach the core area.
These reductions in pollution all happened after meeting ‘Ye Yun’.
Moreover, the fact that 'Ye Yun' suddenly wanted to set up a secret code for communication was actually a bit abrupt, reasonable, but abrupt.
In addition, He Ao was deceived by the B-level monster the last time he entered the ruins, so his vigilance was naturally much higher this time.
Under the influence of various factors, He Ao chose to write his signature on 'Ye Yun' for further testing.
Not long after the exchange of 'secret codes', 'Ye Yun' got separated from He Ao due to the attack of the huge mechanical monster.
By that time, He Ao was basically certain that this 'Ye Yun' was a fake.
But he had not yet determined the true identity of 'Ye Yun', so he asked Li Ming to help him collect information about the World Tree and Moonlight Transcendents who entered the ruins.
"I have to say that you are very perceptive. Maybe I shouldn't have chosen you as the target of deception in the first place,"
David clapped his hands gently, "But I still have a question,"
His eyes were fixed on He Ao's cheek, "How on earth did you recognize my true identity?"
This was what really shocked him.
After all, the fake identity is revealed immediately. There is no perfect disguise in this world, but He Ao actually revealed his true identity, which is a bit outrageous.
It was like two people dueling with guns. Not only did He Ao see that his gun was not good, he even knew that there were no bullets in his gun.
"This is actually very simple,"
He Ao said calmly, he raised a finger, "First of all, what I need to know is whether you are involved in the pollution on this ship."
David looked up at him.
"The answer is of course yes. Judging from the fact that the pollution in the place where you appeared has become lower, and the fact that we were chased separately by mechanical monsters coincidentally, there must be a connection between you and these monsters. Then it comes to the second point.
question,"
He Ao raised his second finger,
"Are you able to travel freely between this ship and the real world?
"The answer is no. If you can travel back and forth freely, then there is no need to gather so many people here. You can just move the things in the Navigator to the real world and start the plan.
"Through the above two items, I can draw a conclusion,"
He Ao raised his head and looked at David, "You are one of the extraordinary people who have entered the three major organizations of the ruins this time, so the scope of screening is greatly reduced.
"Judging from Yin Weier's actions, he actually doesn't know much about the ship, so he was just lured here by you as a 'chess piece' to destroy the gate.
"But he is a conceited and vigilant person. To gain the trust of such a cunning fox, you must have an identity that is very close to him, so your identity is most likely that of a World Tree person.
"At this time, the scope was further narrowed to a few people who entered the ruins of the World Tree.
"And at this time, I encountered the third problem,"
He Ao glanced behind David. Behind the gate, the dimly lit corridors were shrinking and folding little by little. In the depths of the endless darkness, there was a huge mechanical twisting sound. He Ao's movements did not stop.
, he continued,
"The ruins passage can only allow three C-level people to pass through. I, Ye Yun, and Yin Weir have already taken three places, and the rest are all D-level or E-level. So how did you, a 'C-level', sneak in?"
Woolen cloth?
"I didn't think about this problem at first, until I recalled a recent intelligence information I saw about Liming. One of Liming's leaders in the West Land region, the Painter, was missing.
"This 'painter' is a person who has a public image, but his identity cannot be found. At that time, I thought that the identity used by the painter is probably false. This painter is most likely a person who is very good at disguising his identity.
people."
He Ao looked at David, "And there aren't that many people in this world who are good at disguising their identity."
"So, you think of me disguised as 'Ye Yun'? You connect me with the 'painter'?"
David looked at He Ao, "But you still haven't solved the problem of how the fourth 'C-class' passed through the ruins passage. If I remember correctly, this 'painter' is also said to be a C-class."
"It is true that I have not solved the matter of the fourth 'C-level', but what if the fourth 'C-level' is not a 'C-level'?"
He Ao looked at him with a smile, "There has never been any definite evidence that the painter himself is C-level. What can prove his strength is that he defeated C-level enemies. With such a record, a person who has powerful C-level extraordinary items can prove his strength."
Class D can also do it.
"Am I right, Mr. Painter?"
“Brilliant reasoning,”
David couldn't help but applaud,
"I'm even more curious now about how you inferred it about me. I can't think of any connection between my identity as 'David' and the painter."
His tone paused,
"After confirming the clues of World Tree, D-class, and painter, the scope that can be filtered is already very small. Did you just rely on luck?"
"Normally, I would not choose to hide an outcome,"
He Ao shook his head and looked at David, "The leader of the extraordinary beings in the Ruodan Restoration Organization is you, right?"
When he said this, David's expression changed.
"I happen to know that Liming's 'boss' is Ruodan's former king Ruonati, who is also the true leader of Ruodan's restoration organization,"
He Ao walked slowly towards the gate and said word by word,
"The 'painter' is one of the closest confidants of the 'boss', and the 'boss' is a person who likes to use his own people. I have reason to believe that the 'painter' is also a Ruodan person or someone close to Ruodan.
People, and he is also in the Ruo Dan Restoration Organization,
"It just so happens that the time when the 'painter' disappeared was close to the time when the civil war broke out in the Rodan Restoration Organization. How about it? Is the treasure left by the 'boss' still useful? Mr. Leader of the breakaways from the Rodan Restoration Organization?"
‘David’ is the only Rodan among the D-level World Trees who entered the ruins this time.
When all the clues overlap, the answer naturally emerges.
Without the support of a logical chain, He Ao usually does not rely solely on luck.
"It seems that I really know too little about you."
David looked at He Ao who was getting closer and laughed, "Actually, I was planning to pretend to be you at first, but you had too many secrets and there was too little information that could be investigated. In the end, I had to choose to pretend to be Ye instead." cloud."
He stared at He Ao, "Yin Weier's final strength was beyond my expectation. I was even prepared for him to kill you and then come after me. And you can kill such a powerful Yin?" Will, you far exceeded my expectations."
He glanced down at his steel arm,
"What surprises me even more is that you can still maintain such a high combat effectiveness after experiencing such a powerful battle."
In fact, at that time, He Ao's overall strength was already at the end of its tether.
He just forcibly aroused his strength, and with his constant vigilance and vigilance, he caught David, the sneak attacker, off guard, and even scared him so much that he broke one of his arms.
However, He Ao did not explain his thoughts on this matter.
He looked at David. As he spoke, the two pieces of meat had completely fallen into his stomach, and the wounds on his body were closing quickly.
This is the effect of the extraordinary item 'Nutritional Can' that Yang De specially lent him. Eating two pieces of meat in the can at the same time will restore 80% of the injury.
Although the information says 'immediately', there is still a process of recovery of wound healing.
But when He Ao came closer, David did not retreat at this moment.
Above the heads of the two people, the originally layered metal spaces had now completely expanded, revealing a huge open area covered by a transparent dome.
Through the towering dome, He Ao could see the twinkling stars in the sky and the four ring-shaped cabins behind the spacecraft that were still running.
"He Ao, you are indeed very smart and very powerful,"
David opened his hands slightly and said, "Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice at the turning point of fate."
Behind him, a huge robot intertwined with flesh and machinery rose up like a mountain. It was the huge robot that chased He Ao before.
"From the moment you set foot on this ship, everything's fate has been determined. None of you can leave this ship."
He looked at He Ao, "But under the guidance of the gods, we are willing to give you a new chance. Join us and you will have eternal life."
He Ao glanced at his robotic arm and said, "With the machine? I have no plans to become a robot for the time being."
"Flesh and blood is the source of suffering and weakness, but machinery is the real eternity."
A trace of fanaticism flashed in David's eyes, and he looked at He Ao, "If you don't care about your own life, maybe you should consider the people in the institute? I know that the people in your institute value their companions. For the sake of the lives of your companions, you Maybe we can think about it again.”
"Yuan Guo?"
He Ao's brows jumped.
There seem to be only three people from the institute on this ship, Zhang Yusi, Shu Gui, and Yuan Guo.
Among them, the 'safe house' where Yuan Guo is located was built by 'Ye Yun'.
"The lives of your companions are in your hands at this moment."
David lowered his head and stared at Ho Ao.
The huge robot behind him also turned its attention to He Ao.
He actually never thought that He Ao would agree to him. He just used this method to coerce He Ao, interfere with He Ao's thinking, and provide an opportunity for him to launch a sneak attack.
But just when he was ready for a sneak attack, He Ao, who was standing in front of him, suddenly pointed to the top of his head.
He looked in the direction pointed by He Ao, and through the huge transparent dome, he saw a local area in the fourth spiral ring cabin that seemed to be burning with raging flames.
He soon realized that it was the 'safe house' he built for Yuan Guo.
"what is that?"
he asked subconsciously.
"A rescue."
He Ao's figure had already arrived in front of him.
