The area of ​​the underground base is not small. After a while, the two of them discovered a strange place.

The first thing he discovered was that he was a little dizzy than the girl who was already hungry and a little dizzy, he remained more alert because of the continuous vague headache. The pain was like a tiny flame that burned him. He relied on his extremely tough willpower to suppress it under the limit that did not affect his concentration.

“The temperature is changing.”

He was exposed to his head outside his mobile suit, but the nasal cavity used to breathe also had the ability to feel the temperature. Compared with the cold air he had breathed before, the temperature seemed to rise a little while the place where the two of them were currently walking, at least his nasal cavity did not feel the cold stinging feeling.

"The difference is about five degrees Celsius." He estimated.

The two looked at each other, and through the walking path, they could tell the direction of the temperature rise. For this problem that was not clear, they were also alert and walked in that direction.

The inner cabin in front seemed to have suffered severe damage, and several passages leading to the outside were torn apart by some great force. The two followed these passages carefully, and after half a minute, they stepped out of the underground of the base of Faerton one by one, standing on the edge of the underground lake.

“…I didn’t expect it.”

Even if they saw a giant monster now, it would not surprise them more than the scene in front of them. What was presented to them was the creation of human beings, a huge metal monster half-sinking in the corner of this underground dark lake.

Storm.

The frigate, which was previously judged to be buried under the dunes by wind and sand, was drilling into the hole where the underground dark lake was located in a slump. Because its body was too large, only the front half of the hull was inserted into the underground lake water, and the head of the ship sank in the water. The angle of the front and middle part of it blocked the water veins of the underground lake, and isolated the water from the circulating river.

In the center of the dark lake facing the head of the Storm, a huge dark torch-like sculpture stands. On a small floating island in the center of the lake, the dark red divine seal was quietly inserted there, showing no sign of life. It is much larger than the cultivated divine seals that the two of them saw in the laboratory before, and it is estimated to be about fifteen meters high. The lake water is filled with blue glowing algae, which looks safe and harmless. The fluorescence emitted by millions of algae looks like the starry sky at night.

But he felt chill all over his body. The chills were wrapped around him like sticky tentacles. The deep malice that was nurtured in this lake was already aware of their arrival, and suppressing the primitive cruel ecstasy, waiting for them to step into this trap.

He didn't know why he came to this conclusion, he didn't know that it was a certain inductive ability that he was born with, very weak, but could allow him to read some undercurrents hidden under the surface in an intuitive way.

The girl was not as sharp as him, but she felt it was tricky. When she saw his pale face, she was even more surprised.

“…is there a way to destroy it?”

"Let me... think about it..." He tried his best to resist the malice that was gradually spreading. "Swimming directly from the lake is obviously a suicide, and these cyanobacteria are definitely problematic. Then, if we can amplify the laser magnification... but with the existing conditions, it is impossible. The only thing we can use is the Storm."

His brain, wrapped in evil thoughts, tried his best to come to this very simple conclusion, as if hundreds or thousands of people were whispering in the distance, and these private words were gradually penetrated into his brain. Frenzy, sadness, and joy. His extraordinary perception touched the life that died here two hundred years ago. The old souls rushed towards him and filed his will little by little.

In the girl's opinion, he just reacted a little slow. After two seconds of the previous sentence, he frowned and looked at the Storm and slowly said, "The abnormal temperature rise... comes from the Storm. Perhaps it is a failure of the power system. In short, it seems that there has been no power outage on it for two hundred years, and its reactor is still in operation."

"But... why did the Storm appear here?" He frowned and stared at the angle of the spacecraft breaking into the underground hole. It was not an accident, but the angle was quite accurate. This was a premeditated and desperate suicide attack. The person who operated the Storm was straight at the location of the God Seal, rushed the spacecraft towards the ground, and then penetrated the sand and rock layers dozens of meters deep, breaking through here unstoppably, and then exhausted, with only a little gap, and the man succeeded.

Perhaps it may not be a little bit worse. It is very stupid to use a spacecraft to directly hit it. Even if the operators at that time had already realized that they would die together, there should be a solution with a higher success rate, such as...

"Reactor." He suddenly said, "we can detonate the Storm's energy reactor. This series of fusion reactor overloads is enough to turn the entire Faeton base into ashes, even the God Seal is no exception."

The girl's face changed. Giving up the Storm means that the two of them have no hope of going home. The broken Wasp alone cannot perform the jumping action of the impact point engine. The Storm is already the last chance for them.

"If my guess is not wrong, then the complete plan of the operator of the Storm should include the preparation for using the spacecraft as a big bomb. However, the plan was subject to some unknown obstacle when it was implemented and he failed. This also means that even if we try to adopt this tactic, we have the possibility of failure... However, I think this possibility is enough for us to bet."

He continued to chatter and didn't even give the girl a chance to object, as if he was afraid that she would refuse.

After he finished speaking in one breath, he turned to the girl dumbly and asked softly: "Why don't you refuse?"

"What to reject?"

"Refuse to use the Storm to escape, not to destroy this divine seal."

The girl thought about it and suddenly asked him: "Do you find it strange? We should be trying to escape from this galaxy, but now we are deeply involved in the deepest secret of this planet. These two things are completely different."

“…”

"You... in your heart, you really want to destroy it. Is it because, did your recording leave any instructions?"

“…”

He didn't answer because he couldn't answer.

"What a coincidence, so do I." The girl smiled, "and I also decided to complete the task I had entrusted to. And the past I told me that even if you are a fool with many shortcomings, you are trustworthy. If you feel confused, as long as you follow your decision, we will all be saved."

As if to deepen their persuasion, the girl added: "Even if she cannot be saved, it will not be much worse than the current situation of being slowly starved to death. Maybe these strange algae can be eaten? We may be able to survive on this planet... As long as we have time, we can repair the Wasp bit by bit, and then drive it back to the civilization circle of this world... Even if we can't recover our memories from beginning to end, we will definitely be able to survive well... So let's make a decision, Ajing."

A Jing?

Is this my name she heard in the recording? In the recording, I said that my name is Su Jing. These two words give me a faint sense of alienation, but hearing this name from her mouth makes me feel very familiar. It is like a matter of course. I am Su Jing, and I am the person in the recording who can always find a solution to the problem calmly.

"Let's go, go to Storm."

The malice coming from the lake was still thickening, and layers of sticky feeling entangled him, but he no longer felt fear. The name she called gave him a strange sense of self-confidence. Even though he knew that he did not have the extraordinary abilities he had before, the self-confidence brought by this name did not disappear, and he was confident that he could find a solution to the problem.

Did that calm me, really find the key to opening the door forever, or did I always act strong and comfortable even if I was confused, and even deceived myself with this acting skills?

There are manual operating valves that can be entered outside the hull of Storm. Due to the heavy water vapor in the underground environment, a large amount of paint on the originally smooth hull had long corroded and fell off, revealing the true color of the metal underneath. These strong alloys also rusted and corroded during the erosion of a long time, stagnating these valves. In the end, the girl had to step forward and use her powerful prosthesis to open the valve.

Compared to the Wasp, the internal environment of Storm is much brighter. For two hundred years, the reactor of this spacecraft has been operating under the regulation of automatic procedures, maintaining the operation of the internal air conditioning system and lighting system, which is why Storm is radiating heat. However, the consumption over the past two hundred years has finally reduced its energy reserves to a limit of almost exhaustion.

【Enabled, I can't hold on any longer.】

The hallucination appeared again. Among the noisy sounds he heard, the gentle and dim voice left the deepest impression on him. Whenever her voice appeared in his mind, all other noises would be temporarily silent.

What are you sticking to? He thought.

Without an answer, he and the girl continued to quickly go to the Storm's bridge. She had to connect to the information and operating system of the spacecraft before she could understand the situation of the reactor.

【Fight with her, fight with the divine seal.】
