"When they saw me return, they all came over and attacked me."
"I have no choice but to take action."
"I can guarantee that I was killing monsters at the time, but the scene was recorded by a camera."
“I destroyed the camera because it contained some important data. After it was repaired, the people from Apollo extracted some clips from it.”
"So they think I killed those people."
At this point, Qin Tan understood what had happened.
A group of bizarre beings who can disguise themselves as humans killed real humans and then impersonated them.
Bai Yucheng's cleaning process was recorded, which caused a misunderstanding.
“I explained it to them, but nobody believed me.”
"But the information was incomplete, so they couldn't convict him."
Bai Yucheng shrugged.
"I'm still very lucky."
"Also, I need to correct something. I handed over all the information I obtained at the time; I didn't keep any for myself."
Bai Yucheng almost raised his hands and swore an oath.
Qin Tan could tell from the other person's expression that they were lying again.
Facing Qin Tan's suspicious gaze, Bai Yucheng said with a long face, "Oh dear, I dislike chatting with people as perceptive as you."
"Okay, I admit it, I did hide something."
"But it has nothing to do with that plan."
"I just hid a map."
He tapped his temple.
"I found a map outside the wall. It was hand-drawn and left behind. The map is real, as verified by the route of the last mission."
“At the time, I knew those people wouldn’t believe me, so I was prepared to escape over the wall if anyone tried to kill me.”
"This map is my lifeline."
"I didn't even bring it back inside the wall; I just kept it in my mind."
"Is this why you came to me?"
Everything came from Bai Yucheng's mouth. As Bai Yucheng said, all the people involved, except for him, are dead.
It's impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
It's good that Bai Yucheng is willing to cooperate.
Therefore, Xia Shuang did not press the matter further.
"When do we depart?"
After the agreement was reached, Bai Yucheng was even more proactive than the other two.
"Ten days later."
Xia Shuang turned to Qin Tan: "I will be in seclusion for a few days. Keep an eye on him."
"If you need anything, go to the director."
"Currently, no one in this area dares to touch you."
Qin Tan didn't know what the Fifth Dawn's background was, but since Xia Shuang had said so, Qin Tan believed her.
She also knew that Xia Shuang's seclusion was actually for healing.
Her injuries must be treated before the plan can proceed.
Xia Shuang didn't intend to explain the details.
Just in case, Qin Tan simply took Bai Yucheng with him.
In the days that followed, Dawn Shu remained bustling.
The final selection of participants for Project Dawn has been made, and in addition to Qin Tan and two others, there are six more people.
It's another nine-person team.
In the ancient cultures of this continent, nine is the ultimate number.
Xi Yang was among the nine.
As one of the people in charge, Qin Tan had no choice but to deal with the information on these people after Xia Shuang went on strike.
These people come from all over the world.
In order to make these people obedient during operations, Qin Tan found many reasons to spar with them during training.
The only one who was spared was Xi Yang, the "clerk".
They need more detailed maps for this trip, and Xiyang is the only one capable of doing that.
The person who left the deepest impression on Qin Tan was Fan Zhi, a teammate from the same fifth district as Qin Tan.
However, Fan Zhi was born in a wealthy area of the Fifth District, and his abilities were awakened with artificial help.
Its ability is the S-rank [Sunfire].
Its specific form is a white flame.
This flame is extremely hot; even special metals will melt after a short time.
Most importantly, [Sunfire] is surprisingly effective against strange and eerie things.
If Fan Zhi maintains the burning heat of the sun around the clock, those strange creatures dare not approach.
This was also what Xia Shuang had told Qin Tan before, the trump card that the Sun God had found.
From a standpoint of perspective, Qin Tan and Fan Zhi were born into opposing classes, but Fan Zhi did not rebel against Qin Tan because of this.
On the contrary, they are very law-abiding.
This was just right for Qin Tan.
As long as you don't cause trouble, the rest is up to you.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The day after Xia Shuang emerged from seclusion, everyone was ready to set off.
The modified armored vehicle has a menacing appearance, and with the addition of new energy sources, its performance is even more superior.
It's the large sun god logo on the car door that's offensive.
"Everyone, get on the bus."
Xia Shuang said this after getting to know her team members.
Her gaze met one of them.
Xia Yao.
By all accounts, Xia Yao is Xia Shuang's younger sister.
Compared to Xia Shuang, Xia Yao was born into a "legitimate" family and is one of the heirs of the Xia family.
According to the Sun God's original plan, at the last moment, he would replace the puppet Jiang Yongwang and put Xia Yao in charge.
But Xia Shuang is back.
Even with Qin Tan standing beside her, Xia Shuang, now that her old illness had healed, exuded a subtle danger.
The fact that an illegitimate daughter's talent surpasses that of the legitimate heir is one of the reasons why the Xia family's children dislike Xia Shuang.
Now, Xia Yao greets Xia Shuang with a smile.
"elder sister."
She called out sweetly, and when she smiled, she had a pair of dimples.
She has a baby face and looks harmless.
Her ability is S-rank [Puppeteer].
Speaking of which, among the nine people in the team, Qin Tan's ability is B-level [Resonance], and Xi Yang's ability is A-level [Brain Network].
