I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

The follower's status as an officer made the interrogation difficult. Heinrich asked Arnold to pay attention to the severity and try to get as much information as possible to report to him. Now he will accompany Lin Xu to Perther Manor.

During the journey, Lin Xu sent another message, asking Chen Jingshan what he wanted from him.

The other party replied that he had something for Lin Xu and hoped to have an interview.

Lin Xu faintly felt that something was wrong. In the past, Chen Jingshan didn't have such a secretive personality, and the meeting place, Perther Manor, had been vacant for a long time, and Lin Xu had only been there once.

Purser Manor is located in the East City. Looking down from the height of the aircraft, there is a clear boundary between the cold and crowded buildings in the city and a hilly green space. The rolling low hills are covered with green grass, scattered with trees, shrubs and small lakes.

Purser Manor is surrounded by a circle of trees. Numerous dark blue columns of different heights are arranged together to form the main body of the building in the manor. It reflects the fine luster in the sun. When you look closer, you can find the exterior of these columns. The surface is thick and intertwined steel bars, with traces of glass exposed in the gaps.

The heirs of previous generations of the Purser Group designed and built this manor rich in contemporary technological aesthetics. The internal area of ​​the main building "Flute" is almost comparable to a high-end library.

Marlene Anna didn't like this style, and she didn't like empty and lonely rooms. After getting married, she lived with Chen Jingshan in a high-rise flat near Capital Star University in Xicheng District, which was convenient for commuting to and from get off work.

The manor’s aircraft landing platform is on the top of a medium-height column. After Heinrich drove the aircraft into the manor’s airspace, he received a landing prompt from the manor’s AI on the radio channel. He pressed the joystick, lowered the aircraft’s height, and stabilized Landing on the columned top terrace.

When the two got out of the car, another column next to them opened the door for them. The AI ​​voice was polite and elegant: "You two are welcome. Mr. Chen is waiting at 1031, Block A. Please follow my instructions. The estimated distance is 897 meters."

The internal structure of the building is complicated and troublesome. Lin Xu and Heinrich took the elevator three times and passed through countless corridors before finally arriving at 1031, Block A. As soon as they approached, they heard a click, and the dark gray The door is unlocked and slowly opened inwards under intelligent control to welcome visitors.

A figure in the dark brown military uniform of the Third Legion stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, as imposing as a mountain, as if he was in deep thought.

The figure was turned against the light and surrounded by a cloud of shadows.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, Chen Jingshan turned around and paused when he looked at Shanghai Inrich, as if he didn't expect Heinrich to appear here.

Chen Jingshan greeted Lin Xu first, and then raised his hand to salute Heinrich, "Hello Marshal Chu."

"Hello, Colonel Chen." Heinrich calmly replied.

"Mr. Chen," Lin Xu kept calling him, "what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Xu went straight to the point, without the slightest reservation or pleasantries. Chen Jingshan was used to his cold personality, so he didn't mind. He just gave Heinrich a second look.

He had vaguely heard some gossip about the relationship between Lin Xu and Heinrich. Today, when Lin Xu comes to Perth Manor, Heinrich is by his side. I'm afraid those rumors may not be just speculation.

"Marshal Chu, I want to talk to Xiaoxu alone, can you wait outside for a while?" Chen Jingshan asked.

Heinrich did not insist on staying, and Chen Jingshan smiled politely, "There is a lounge next door, and the AI ​​will take you there. If you feel bored, you can also take a look at 'Flute', there is no one else here."

After Heinrich turned and left, the door of the room closed automatically. Chen Jingshan came out from behind the desk and asked him to sit on the sofa in the center of the room, while he himself was on the opposite side. Chen Jingshan seemed to be trying to make himself appear gentle , but the back is used to being tense and can no longer relax, "Xiao Xu, sit down."

Chen Jingshan: "Have you been to Marlene Anna's No. [-] vault today?"

Lin Xu nodded.

"Looking for something?"

Lin Xu frowned lightly and stared at the expression on Chen Jingshan's face, but he could only see the faint fatigue beneath the determination.

Chen Jingshan took out a paper notebook from the handbag beside the table and handed it to Lin Xu, "Are you looking for it?"

The book had a red cover. Lin Xu took it and turned to the title page. Looking at the half-torn Russian poetry, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

【if life has cheated you……】

Chen Jingshan's actions and words show that he knows its existence and specialness.

"Is this the 'Red Book'?"

"Yes."

But Lin Xu pinched the smooth paper with his fingers, and his doubts deepened, "It shouldn't be so new."

It is so new that it does not look like a cultural relic that is at least 600 years old and as many as 3000 years old.

"This is a copy. I originally kept it elsewhere."

"When did you get it?"

"After Marlene's death... I went before Michael's line of defense."

That's right... Entering the No. [-] vault requires multiple verifications, and the security system used will take some time to be cracked even by Ika. It is almost impossible for someone to sneak into it and steal the red book.

When they were on the [-]th floor underground, neither Mandan nor Patterson mentioned that vault zero had encountered an accident, and Lin Xu also considered whether there was an insider among them.

Now the truth is out, there is no inner ghost.Chen Jingshan is also one of the heirs of Marlene Anna's estate, and has the full right to enter the vault at the legal level.

But the speed of Chen Jingshan's actions was indeed too fast, and Lin Xu had to doubt, "Mr. Chen, you knew from the very beginning that the red book was related to Marlene's death, didn't you?"

When Lin Xu raised his eyes, Chen Jingshan was startled by the ice in his gray eyes. He had never seen Lin Xu in such a sharp state.

In Chen Jingshan's impression, Lin Xu has always been a taciturn young man who doesn't like to socialize with others. It seems that whenever he is disturbed by outsiders, he will irritably reveal the thorns all over his body, but in fact he is smart and docile. Love him that much.

Lin Xu's change made Chen Jingshan's throat feel like a huge stone was pressed, "Yes."

He knew it from the beginning, so when the shadow of the assassination vortex loomed, he would persuade Lin Xu to put down his paleoearth research and buy a small planet with a beautiful environment to live the peaceful life he wanted without being disturbed by others .

But Lin Xu seemed... different from what he thought. Chen Jingshan still remembered the news he received before the two came, that the person he sent was knocked unconscious by Lin Xu.

"You always knew who was the murderer of Marlene Anna?" Lin Xu leaned forward, staring into Chen Jingshan's eyes, his tone almost questioning, "Who is it?"

Chen Jingshan opened his mouth. Before Lin Xu came, he had typed out countless drafts, but the moment he faced Lin Xu, his brain suddenly shattered into a blank, and he didn't know where to start.

He tightened his palms on his knees, took a few breaths slowly, and said, "Xiao Xu, I have several names now, but... all of this is too complicated, one or two names can't be summed up completely, many Everyone is involved. You... why don't you read the contents of the red book first."

A lot of people...Of course there will be a lot of people, from smuggling killers, weapons, to the cover-up of His Royal Highness after the assassination and the media's guidance of public opinion, lies are like a huge net, woven by countless hands, covering life and truth.

Lin Xu closed his eyes, feeling that the blood in his body was rushing into his brain and chest cavity, and his heart accelerated to the maximum in an instant without knowing it, as if it was about to explode in the next moment. When he opened his eyes again, instead of looking at Chen Jingshan, he lowered his head and turned over. Opened the red book.

On the title page is an incomplete poem, and looking further back, it is a diary written by a person who speaks Russian.

The first entry in the diary is December 2077, 12—

"The Ark Fleet will set sail on the first day of the new year, I hope everything goes well...

I sometimes feel like a deserter, but human beings can't survive on this earth, we have to find a new home.

Alfred Nobleson says the Ark Fleet will be the new torch of human civilization... I hope. "

Looking back, the owner of the diary did not leave any words on January 2078, 1. He did not write a new paragraph until January 1, "Human! The most terrifying creature in the world!"

April 1

"We left the Earth-Moon system, and everything on the fleet is finally back on track. The Earth turns into a blue dot in my field of vision, and the destroyed moon is no longer visible."

A wrecked moon?Lin Xu remembered the abnormal radiation of the Moonstone, so he focused and continued to read.

"In the fleet broadcast, Alfred said that when we set sail, the major regional bases and moon bases were the first to launch missiles at the fleet spacecraft, trying to shoot us down and let mankind die on Earth. The Ark Fleet had no choice but to launch a nuclear counterattack.

But who can tell the truth?Alfred is a lunatic. I suspect that he can't understand those people in the major bases. He wants to destroy all the major bases while he is leaving the earth.

But maybe, the base also really wanted to shoot down the spaceship, after all Alfred took away so many scientists, weapons and ammunition, technology and food.Those on the ground would be left mad with despair... I don't know, but anyway... we don't have the moon anymore. "

The Ark fleet is Alfred's plan? !

The familiar name was reflected in Lin Xu's gray eyes, as if in an instant, the barrier between reality and history was smashed with a punch, making people's brains buzzing.

He quickly flipped through the diary. The owner of the diary was originally a soldier with supernatural powers. After boarding the Ark Fleet, he was assigned to do patrol work. can be continuously weakened.

However, the ability cannot be passed on to the next generation through reproduction, and there is no special apocalyptic environment to stimulate the ability. Fleet scientists believe that future humans will no longer have abilities.

The fresh water and food carried by the fleet are decreasing day by day, and the interstellar voyage is long. The senior management of the fleet decided to let the fleet members hibernate in batches to reduce consumption and extend the existence of the first generation of humans.

The owner of the diary is the third batch of hibernating people.

"Interstellar travel makes me feel tired and boring. I went to a psychiatrist and she said that many people have this space travel syndrome. It can only be alleviated, but it cannot be cured. If you want to get rid of it, go to hibernation... I signed up for the third batch of hibernates."

"December 2199, 5.

I woke up from hibernation thinking that after 100+ years of sleep, the Ark Fleet would at least find a habitable planet, but they didn't!Not only did he not, but he also stuffed himself into a wormhole and couldn't get out when he was tinkering with the leap technology!My God, save stupid human beings! "

"December 2199, 6.

The new generation of human beings are irradiated by cosmic rays, and ABO new sexes are produced. I feel that their physical fitness and intelligence have all become stronger. I mean, under normal circumstances, if it is estrus, then Alpha and Omega are like a group idiot. "

"December 2202, 7.

We met a... I don't know what species to count him as, anyway, he is called Lingjun.Lord Ling has a beautiful human face, but scientists speculate that he is some kind of advanced civilization, and some people think he is a god. I can't tell, but he doesn't look malicious.

The scientists said that they are learning the space transition technology taught by Ling Jun, and the fleet may soon be able to leave the wormhole. "
