Xu Xin was both surprised and felt that the previously chaotic clues in his mind were finally coming together!
The human base had already been discovered.
The teleportation device that Yingying mentioned, he had seen it too.
The turncoats and order maintainers she had mentioned, he had also heard of them.
Most importantly, the monster she mentioned that discovered the human underground base but didnât inform other alien invaders and kept it a secret...
It seemed like... he actually saw it.
The monster he saw in Shi Wanyunâs memory was probably it.
"It seems I have some news you donât know."
"Hmm? You have information I donât know? Donât joke around, bro," Xu Ying was initially startled, then laughed, patting Xu Xin on the shoulder with a hint of pride on her face, "How could you possibly know more than I do? Stop bluffing."
"The monster you mentioned probably has eyes all over its body, right?" Xu Xin suddenly said.
"...Huh?" Xu Yingâs eyes instantly widened, and she grabbed Xu Xinâs arm, "Youâve seen those disgusting things?!"
"I havenât seen them. No, maybe Iâve seen them. Itâs like this..."
Xu Xin didnât intend to keep any information to himself.
Even disregarding their sibling relationship, just based on Xu Yingâs identity, she was the most trustworthy person in the world.
He told her everything he knew from Shi Wanyun.
And Xu Yingâs expression changed repeatedly.
From initial surprise, to curiosity, to shock.
Finally, when she heard about that monster taking out a locket with a blood-stained photo of Xu Xin, her face turned extremely grim.
"Is it... the monster from our timeline? They... followed us here too? I see... I see, so this is the true face of the âanthropologist,â no wonder theyâre interested in humans..."
Xu Yingâs eyes were solemn.
"So, the advantage you gained by traveling through time and space might not actually be an advantage. That monster has already discovered this place too." Xu Xin pointed to the human-faced stone statue.
"...Fortunately, there were restrictions set up here, it wonât help even if they find it."
Xu Ying exhaled, comforting herself, "To trigger the mechanism here, one of us must be present to operate it, even if it discovers this place, it canât trigger it."
Is that so.
"However, considering this situation, itâs indeed very serious." Xu Ying couldnât help biting her nails, "I originally thought that time travel was our biggest trump card, but to think the other party also has it, my advantage is greatly diminished..."
Xu Xin was also worried about this: "We still donât know what that monster wants to do, whether itâs about establishing a human city there or the origins of batches of survivors, everything is still unknown."
"Hmm...bro, you just said that woman named Shi Wanyun has the ability to transmit memories?" Xu Ying suddenly turned to look at Xu Xin and asked.
"Yes. Havenât you heard of Shi Wanyunâs name?"
"No, I donât know her. But now I need her ability, I want to see what that monster looks like to confirm its identity!" Xu Ying pulled Xu Xinâs arm and headed towards the crevice, "Iâll go with you to your place! We need to hurry!"
"Identity? Donât monsters look the same?"
"Of course not, and the differences between each individual are quite significant. Even us humans can generally tell them apart."
When humans look at other species, they generally canât differentiate between individuals; for example, a flock of sheep or a herd of cattle all look similar, even foreigners might look similar to them.
If the differences can be distinguished, it can only mean that the shape difference between individual monsters is really big.
"Okay, Iâll take you."
Itâs just...
He had just promised Shi Wanyun not to reveal her ability, and now, even before the night was over, he was bringing someone else to find her...
He indeed felt a bit embarrassed...
But, Shi Wanyun acted that way because she thought others were untrustworthy.
Xu Ying is very trustworthy, even more so than himself.
This is practically an involved party!
