In the wind and snow, two hooded figures slowly walked out from the foggy border.
One of them stood on the white snow and gently took off his hood, revealing the face of a young girl.
She looked around at the snow and ice, and let out a long sigh, her eyes full of complex expressions.
“We are back again…”
"Yeah." The man beside her nodded calmly.
"I left Cangnan three or four years ago." The girl slowly closed her eyes and spoke softly, "That period of time..."
"Xiaonan."
The man suddenly spoke, interrupting the girl's words, stretched out his left hand, and pointed to his right hand hidden in his wide sleeves.
That hand... no, it can no longer be considered a hand.
I saw Hong Xin spitting out, and a black python shaped like an arm crawling out from his cuff, with five fingers splitting out from its head, and on the back of its hand, there was a small ear.
The man squatted down and quickly outlined a few Chinese characters with the fingers of his left hand.
——Loki’s Ear, eavesdrop on conversations, be careful with your words.
Si Xiaonan saw the words, was silent for a moment, and continued expressionlessly:
"That time makes me sick every time I think about it."
As she spoke, she squatted down and wrote in the snow:
——When did he implant it in you?
——Just before we set off… We’ve done so many things in the past two years that he’s begun to get suspicious.
——What a disgusting old fox.
Si Xiaonan was silent for a moment, then wrote two big words on the snow.
"true and false".
She stretched out her hand, touched her nose deliberately, and then pointed to the word "fake".
"Cangnan, it doesn't matter if it is destroyed." She said, looking into Leng Xuan's eyes.
Then, she stretched out her hand again, pointed to the word "True", and continued, "Fortunately, I have you by my side."
Leng Xuan was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Si Xiaonan meant.
In order to deceive Loki's Ear in Leng Xuan's hand, some of their conversations had to be false.
Si Xiaonan had prepared an action in advance to distinguish truth from sarcasm to prevent misunderstandings between the two, and that action was touching the nose.
What is said while touching the nose is sarcasm.
Everything else is true.
Just like what Si Xiaonan said after touching his nose just now, "Cangnan, it doesn't matter if it is destroyed", and conversely, "I hope everything is safe in Cangnan."
But the words "Fortunately, you are by my side" said without touching my nose are the truth.
A faint smile appeared on Leng Xuan's icy face. He touched his nose.
"I don't want to go back to Cangnan in my life."
Si Xiaonan knew that Leng Xuan understood what she meant, so she stood up and looked into the distance.
"Lord Loki's mission is for us to find the legendary Kunlun Mountain and enter it to investigate the truth about the Great Xia God..."
“The Pamir Plateau is so huge, where exactly is the Kunlun Mountains hidden?”
"I don't know. I need to find it."
"We can't slack off on Lord Loki's mission and must complete it as soon as possible." Leng Xuan touched his nose.
"Well, let's get going immediately."
Si Xiaonan also touched his nose.
So, the two began to crawl through the snow at a snail's pace...
…
Pamir Plateau.
The other side.
A military transport plane roared across the sky above the snow-capped peaks. The door of the plane slowly opened, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew into the cabin.
The recruits wrapped themselves in cold-proof clothing, carried parachutes, looked at the towering mountains below, took a deep breath, and jumped down one after another.
After all the recruits had landed, Lin Qiye and the others walked to the front of the cabin, holding the map in their hands and comparing it with the route in the distance.
"Qi Ye, the Pamir Plateau is so large, and so many people are scattered across it. Can we keep an eye on them?" Baili Pangpang asked with some concern.
“Yes.” Lin Qiye pointed to the route drawn on the map. “Although the Pamir Plateau covers a large area, the route we designed actually only occupies a very small part. In addition, this route is too bumpy and few people will pass by, so it is easier for us to manage.
In addition, I installed a positioning device in each of their winter clothing, so that if anyone deviates from the route, we will know it immediately. "
"So what should we do next?" Cao Yuan asked.
"I have divided their six-day journey into six areas. To prevent any accidents, the six of us will each be in charge of one area." Lin Qiye used a pen to draw six connected circles on the route on the map, which just covered the training path of the recruits.
"After we were divided into six areas, if an accident occurred in any area, the person in charge of that area would immediately report the situation via radio, and the people from the two nearest areas would go to provide support. The remaining three people would be responsible for maintaining order among the recruits and protecting their safety."
"Do we need to be so cautious?" Cao Yuan asked in surprise, "This is in Daxia, and the location is so remote, nothing should happen, right?"
"Although the possibility of an accident is very low, it is not impossible. Moreover, it is wartime now, and the possibility of a sneak invasion by foreign enemies cannot be ruled out. We'd better be careful."
Lin Qiye said seriously.
"The first section is relatively flat and far from the edge of the plateau, so Jiang Er will be in charge. The second section will be led by Qing Yu. My mental power has a wide range of perception, so I will be in charge of the third section in the center, and can monitor their actions to the greatest extent.
Lao Cao, you take charge of the fourth section, Pang Pang takes charge of the fifth section, and Zhuai Ge takes charge of the last section."
Lin Qiye divided the areas that each person was responsible for, and when he saw that no one else had any objections, he nodded and put on the radio headset.
"I have a question." An Qingyu suddenly raised his hand.
"Um?"
"When you're bored in the area, can you dissect the 'Mystery'?" An Qingyu pointed seriously at the black box beside him, "I got the bodies of those 'Mystery' in the 'Klein' realm from Shangjing City."
"…As long as it doesn't scare the new recruits, it's fine."
"No problem." An Qingyu's eyes lit up.
"That's it, let's go!"
The cabin door opened again, and An Qingyu jumped in first, carrying Jiang Er on his back and holding the black box. Jiang Er was in ghost state and could not move her own coffin, so An Qingyu needed to help her put the coffin away before she could move freely.
After the plane flew for a while, Lin Qiye jumped off the plane. The difference was that he didn't even bring a parachute.
Amid the howling wind and snow, Lin Qiye calmly opened his mouth and said:
"When the great roc soars with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles."
A gust of wind swept out from nothingness, carrying his body and slowly landing on a towering snow-capped mountain cliff.
