A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Xiao's lips, and she ordered Aletheia to temporarily erase her Yongzhen from Focus's signal.
‘Shh~’
Raising their fingers in front of their mouths to make a silent gesture, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen quietly moved away from Aloy.
"Hey~"
Seeing Lu Xiao's actions, Aloy, who was very smart, immediately understood what he meant.
"Sirens, do you really like to peek at other people's Focus?"
"Oh? Interesting."
Sirens said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to discover my intrusion."
"You should be near the ruins of Gaia, hurry up, Sirius has already begun to march towards the territory of the Kingdom of Calgar."
Aloy's expression changed when he heard this: "So fast?"
"What do you think?"
Sirens sneered: "Sirius is not a person who is procrastinating. As long as he is well prepared, he will complete the set goal with the highest efficiency."
"Enough chatting, I'll be waiting for you at the ruins on the top of the mountain."
"Hey...bastard! He hung up again!"
Aloy jumped angrily in the snow. She was very annoyed that she couldn't catch Sirens.
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen walked over from a distance, and Yongzhen rubbed Aloy's hair comfortingly.
"Don't worry, the contact time this time was too short, and we were unable to capture his specific location. After entering the ruins of Gaia to maintain long-term contact, we will catch Sirens in front of you."
Judging from Sirens' tone, attitude and experience, Lu Xiao thinks that he is the kind of arrogant person who thinks that he is the smartest and everyone else is a fool.
In this era when everything is waiting for improvement, Sirens, who is outstandingly intelligent, may indeed be qualified to look down on those ignorant and superstitious primitive people, but his attitude will undoubtedly make people feel uncomfortable.
Lu Xiao plans to teach others the truth that there are people outside the world and there is heaven outside the world, and he will engrave this truth into the depths of his mind that he considers himself to be unparalleled in intelligence.
…
Trying to avoid the swarms of mechanical beasts along the way, Lu Xiao and the others finally arrived at the ruins of Gaia before dark.
A huge hole was blown open from the center of the originally complete mountain, directly exposing the ancient facilities buried underground.
A large part of the underground ruins has been completely submerged by wind and snow, and almost no life can survive in the extremely cold climate of more than 30 degrees below zero.
"Hiss~"
Although Aloy wore thicker clothes, in order to ensure the flexibility of activities in the wild, it was impossible for her to wrap herself up like a polar bear.
The severe cold weather made Aloy couldn't help but rub his hands and stamp his feet. Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, who were not afraid of the cold and heat, still looked the same as before, which made Aloy somewhat envious.
Looking at the climbing road ahead that had been prepared by someone, Lu Xiao had a meaningful smile on his face.
Yongzhen patted Aloy on the back and encouraged: "Go, we will provide you with support from the rear, remember to stay vigilant at all times."
"Um!"
The rapid drop in body core temperature made Aloy eager to get active. After Yongzhen and Lu Xiao retreated into the darkness, she immediately swung her strong legs and started running.
Watching Aloy nimbly climbing on the fortifications prepared by Sirens, Lu Xiao ordered Aletheia and Consus to cooperate.
As soon as Sirens hacks into Aloy's Focus again, they will immediately start to capture Sirens' whereabouts in reverse.
"Today I'm going to let you know what it means to crawl along the network cable and beat someone up."
As expected, when Aloy entered the upper levels of the Gaia ruins, Sirens contacted her again.
"This is one of the studios I built. I lived here for several months in order to study this ruins."
What appeared in front of Aloy was a small room that was well sealed. After closing the door at the entrance, Aloy finally got rid of the extremely cold wind and snow.
In front of another door leading deeper into the ruins, the holographic projection of a middle-aged black man appeared.
Aloy clenched his fist and barely suppressed his urge to punch the opponent on the bridge of his nose.
"So, you are Sirens?"
"That's right."
This black man's arms and chin are inlaid with some fluorescent tubes, and his shoulder-length sleeveless fur-edged top looks quite mysterious and mysterious.
Lu Xiao, who hacked into Aloy Focus to watch the whole process, thought he saw a shaman from a certain tribe.
The conversation between Aloy and Sirens can be described as misleading.
Aloy has been testing Sirens's identity, but the other party has been talking about Tai Chi.
Aloy, who has little experience, is no match for the old fox Sirens in a verbal confrontation, but is finally persuaded by him to explore the ruins first.
"Oh, right."
Sirens' projection pointed at the workbench, where there was a sharp metal spear with overclocking parts tied to its tail.
"This is the spear I used before. It has some special functions. I can no longer use it. I give it to you."
Aloy picked up the spear doubtfully. The moment he took it, the spear connected with Focus, and the surface of the spear flashed with a faint blue light.
Aloy asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Sirens shrugged and said: "You can study it yourself slowly. Maybe I haven't fully discovered the ability of this spear."
"Stop wasting time, hurry up and go deep into the ruins. After reading the information you sent me, I can't wait to know all the truth about that year."
Under Lu Xiao's instructions, Aloy had transmitted the information obtained from Cradle 9, Vault 53 and the ruins of Sunset Castle to Sirens a few days ago.
In the past few days, Sirens had been working almost all night to collect information. He finally figured out why Hades had the idea of destroying the world. This was its innate mission.
But like Lu Xiao, Sirens also doesn't know the real reason for Hades' mutation.
Aloy put the spear behind him angrily: "If you are so anxious, why don't you go in and explore by yourself?"
"Hey~"
Sirens patted his forehead speechlessly: "Aloy, don't say such stupid things, okay?"
"If I can enter the ruins, why do I have to wait until you come?"
Raising his finger and pointing at the door behind him, Sirens said helplessly: "I tried all known methods to destroy this door, but in the end they all failed. Even the heavy machine gun of the Death Messenger could not damage it at all.
"
Lu Xiao, who was watching from behind the scenes, curled his lips: "Isn't this nonsense? This is the last fortress of mankind in the old era. The best materials must have been used during the construction process, and the most stringent protection was designed."
Sirens continued: "Only you who have the DNA of Dr. Elizabeth Sobek can open the doors to all ruins. This is the special permission given to you by Gaia before it self-destructs."
"Tsk~"
Aloy walked through Sirens' projection unhappily, and the authentication system similar to that of the ruins of Sunset Castle passed Aloy's permission test without any surprise.
The door that had troubled Sirens for months was opened. At Sirens' anxious urging, Aloy began his exploration of the ruins of Gaia.
In a cave outside the ruins, Aletheia and Consus, who had been busy, spoke at the same time.
"We found it."
Aletheia's tone was a little strange: "Should I say that he is brave because he is a talented person? Or is he taking advantage of humans' habit of being dark under the light?"
"Silens was hiding in the hidden room next to the studio. At the nearest moment, the straight-line distance between him and Aloy was less than 5 meters."
"Heh~ he is indeed an old fox."
Lu Xiao stood up from the boulder and moved his body: "Let's go and catch this weird uncle who likes to peek into girls' privacy."
