"Of course, Qin Tan is here."
"But how can he guarantee that Qin Tan will help, and how can he guarantee that Qin Tan's abilities will be effective for everyone?"
There were too many questions, but Tianchi remained remarkably calm.
How could this not arouse suspicion?
"Unless he already had a solution."
Qin Jie made the final decision; only in this way could Tianchi feel confident and at ease.
But then another problem arose.
If there were other ways, why would Tianchi keep it a secret from the public?
"Do you think there's a connection between these two things?" Qin Tan's mind worked quickly, and after catching up with Qin Jie's thoughts, she asked in return.
"right!"
Qin Jie nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, I've also heard that kind of sound, up close."
When the two looked over, Qin Jie raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"It's not that I deliberately hid it; I only found out after I accidentally stumbled into a special place in Base 8."
"I'm afraid I'll get beaten up if I tell."
Qin Jie pleaded for mercy, but Xia Shuang gave him a sideways glance and didn't pursue the matter, signaling him to continue.
"As you all know, there is a mountain near Base 8. Although it is not within the base's boundaries, it is not far away."
"I heard that the water source for Base No. 8 comes from the melting snow from that mountain."
"I went to check it out out of curiosity that day, and then I found out... that there were people stationed on that mountain."
"Can't you resist finding out the truth?"
Qin Jie pointed in the direction of that mountain.
"I sneaked in, but before I got very deep, I found that the defenses were very tight. I was afraid of being discovered, so I had to leave first."
"During the evacuation, I hid in a man-made cave to avoid the patrols."
“I heard the same sound from inside the walls of that cave.”
"At the time, I thought it was the sound of normal geological activity in the mountain."
Qin Jie acted as if I hadn't paid any attention at the time.
"But today, I heard it again, and it was someone who deliberately brought them to this kind of place."
"I don't believe you're telling me there's nothing fishy going on."
Mr. Ge appeared calm, but that doesn't mean there weren't problems.
"Do you think it's possible that there's actually more than one queen butterfly?"
Qin Jie let his imagination run wild and pointed to the ground.
If other ways to obtain phosphorus powder exist, Tianchi has nothing to panic about; what follows is an even greater threat.
This means that the city could be destroyed at any time.
Qin Tan subtly pointed at her bracelet in Xia Shuang's direction.
She is hinting at the existence of angels.
The angel said that there are many White Ghosts in Base 8, and these two things are easier to understand when put together.
"It's simple. If you want to know, why don't you just ask?"
"Anyway, I'm planning to go see that third leader tonight."
Qin Jie walked past the two of them, expressed his thoughts, smiled at them, and then turned and left.
As she watched the other person's retreating figure, the hesitation in Xia Shuang's eyes disappeared.
The way Qin Jie said these words was completely different from his usual self, who was full of self-expression.
"I think he's right."
Instead of guessing, it's better to ask.
If they are friends, then we can cooperate; if they are enemies, then we should prepare early.
Xia Shuang doesn't plan to involve everyone in this matter for the time being, especially since there are some people in the team who don't keep their mouths shut.
That evening, the three of them huddled together and headed towards the residence of Old Ge, which they had inquired about.
Along the way, they avoided the surveillance cameras at Base 8, moving through the city like ghosts.
Although he was the leader, Old Ge lived a very simple life, and his house was no different from that of ordinary residents.
When they arrived, they found the door ajar, and the host family seemed to have been waiting for them.
Qin Tan pushed open the door and saw an old man sitting inside waving at them. There were several teacups on the table, with steaming tea inside.
“You knew we were coming.”
Xia Shuang had no doubt at this moment.
"yes."
"Please sit down first, and we can talk about it slowly."
Old Ge gestured and pushed the teacups in front of the group.
"You must have discovered something to come here, right?"
In front of everyone, Old Ge took the object covered with black cloth that was placed at his feet and put it on the table.
Shh! Shh!
It's that familiar voice again.
Old Ge didn't keep them in suspense any longer. He lifted the black cloth, revealing what was inside: a glass jar.
Inside the jar was a pale blue butterfly, just as the others had expected.
They also knew that the only reason the crystal transformed from an insect egg into a butterfly was because of the call from the butterfly queen.
There are also butterfly queens in this area.
Old Ge held the jar in his palm, but he didn't do anything. The butterfly inside, which had been flapping its wings, turned into a pile of sand at the bottom of the jar.
"This is my ability; I can change the nature of matter at will."
As he spoke, Old Ge touched the jar, and the glass object transformed into ceramic before their eyes.
It was through this ability that he discovered the secrets hidden within Base Eight, secrets that were enough to overturn everything.
"It was my fault."
Old Ge sighed.
“I watched him grow up.”
The "he" that Old Ge mentioned is Tianchi.
"At first, I thought he went astray after losing his only relative, but I never expected that he had already embarked on a path of no return."
Old Ge's tone was one of regret.
Tianchi was a gifted young man, but his fate was fraught with misfortune.
